What is the role of conceptual understandings in planning and implementation?
engaging in discussion with other educators about the meaning or significance of children’s observations and explorations.
Do Kindergarten children need to know how to print all their letters and numbers and achieve a reading level?
Are combined Kindergarten Year 2 / Grade 1 classrooms expected to schedule 60 minute blocks for mathematics?
In Kindergarten, mathematics instruction is integrated into children’s play and inquiry throughout the school day. Schools and school boards will make local decisions on the implementation of PPM 160 to best meet the learning needs of their students.
The Frames seem very similar to each other. For example, the Self-regulation and Well-being frame seems very similar to the Belonging and Contributing frame. Can you clarify the difference?
The overall expectations of The Kindergarten Program are associated with the frame that encompasses the aspects of learning to which that expectation most closely relates. As such, an expectation may be connected with more than one frame.
The Belonging and Contributing frame encompasses children’s learning and development with respect to: their sense of connectedness to others; their relationships with others, and their contributions as part of a group, a community, and the natural world; their understanding of relationships and community, and of the ways in which people contribute to the world around them. The learning encompassed in this frame also relates to the child’s early development of the attributes and attitudes that inform citizenship, through his or her sense of personal connectedness to various communities.
The Self-Regulation and Well-Being frame encompasses children’s learning and development with respect to: their own thinking and feelings, and their recognition of and respect for differences in the thinking and feelings of others; regulating their emotions, adapting to distractions, and assessing consequences of actions in a way that enables them to engage in learning; and their physical and mental health and wellness. What children learn in connection with this frame allows them to focus, to learn, to respect themselves and others, and to promote well-being in themselves and others.
Educators will determine which frame is most appropriate for communicating the key learning and growth in learning demonstrated by the child. This provides more flexibility for educators as they communicate their findings from their assessment and evaluation of the child's learning. Educators are encouraged to use their professional judgement to discern which expectations to report on in each frame.
What is the role of the planning time/preparation coverage educators in a play- and inquiry-based Kindergarten program? How can we maintain the integrated nature of our Kindergarten program?
In order to make the most effective contributions to observations and documentation about children’s growth in learning and next steps in learning, boards may wish to consider the roles in the team of educators such as planning time or specialist educators and any other staff who interact with the children.
Educators collaborate with others to create engaging environments and experiences to foster children’s learning and development. Rather than creating an unnecessary disruption to the flow of the day, when appropriate, they can make a seamless transition into what is already happening in the classroom at time of entry. Each educator can be engaged in the children’s play and inquiry, and observe and document what they see and hear. All educators have an important role in assessment for and assessment as learning as they document evidence of children’s thinking and learning during exploration, play and inquiry. Every educator should feel he or she belongs, is a valuable contributor, and deserves the opportunity to engage in meaningful work.
What is the Ministry’s expectation of boards with regard to communication with parents/families of Kindergarten Children?
Communication about a child’s learning should provide detailed information about key learning, growth in learning and next steps that will support children in their learning, and assist parents in supporting learning at home. It is important to the child’s development to engage parents in the child’s learning early in the school year, in order to support both children and their parents throughout the school year.
Module Three of the Key Features of Growing Success and Kindergarten Assessment e-Module series summarizes this information about communicating with families.
On December 20, 2016, in response to ongoing input the Ministry of Education released a Memorandum informing boards that the transition to the Communication of Learning Templates would not be required until the June 2017 reporting period. If a determination is made by boards to begin using the Communication of Learning Templates in June, it is the expectation that parents of all children in Kindergarten will receive communication about their child’s learning in accordance with existing board practices and timelines for the Winter 2017 reporting period.
* The word ‘parents’ is used to refer collectively to a parent, guardian, caregiver, and/or close family member who is responsible for raising the child.
Why is the Ministry introducing a new Kindergarten report?
aligns with the content, philosophy, and intent of the program.
The Kindergarten Communication of Learning process supports the pedagogical approaches of the play- and inquiry-based program, especially the view of children, families and educators as “competent and capable, curious and rich in experience…” (page 10, The Kindergarten Program 2016).
What expectations are reported on through the Kindergarten Program Communication of Learning Process?
Educators communicate evidence of key learning, growth in learning and next steps in learning in relation to the overall expectations of The Kindergarten Program (2016).
What place/purpose do the specific expectations have in service of the overall expectations?
How can educators share concerns they may have about a child’s progress, on the Communication of Learning report?
The Kindergarten Program (2016) acknowledges that young children grow and develop at different rates; children enter the Kindergarten program at different stages of development and with diverse backgrounds and experiences – and they will leave it at different stages and at different points in their growth in relation to the program expectations (page 43). When developing comments, educators should communicate their observations of key learning and growth in learning, and identify next steps in learning, in relation to the overall expectations of The Kindergarten Program.
How does the information gathered from leveled assessment tools (e.g., Prime, PM Benchmarks, etc.) contribute to assessment for learning and/or to the Communication for Learning?
Information from diagnostic assessment may help educators determine where individual children are in their development of knowledge and skills, so that instruction can be personalized and tailored to provide the appropriate next steps for learning. (PPM 155) As such, the information from diagnostic assessment tools is generally used for ‘assessment for learning’ rather than for evaluation and reporting.
What is the role of the educators (teachers and ECEs) in communicating information about children’s learning?
All educators work together, as part of the educator team, to plan and implement the program and to maintain a healthy physical, emotional, and social learning environment. All educators contribute to the observation, monitoring and assessment of each child’s learning, that is, the process of communicating information about learning.
Are Early Childhood Educators included on the Communication of Learning template?
Yes. Space is provided on the templates for the name of the Early Childhood Educator(s). This space recognises their contribution to the observation, monitoring and assessment of each child’s learning that is reflected in the Kindergarten communication of learning process.
How many expectations need to be reported on in each frame, for each reporting period?
Growing Success - The Kindergarten Addendum (2016) focuses on the communication of key learning, growth in learning and possible next steps.
Educators are encouraged to work as a team to analyse the pedagogical documentation they have collected for each child to determine which program expectations best reflect the learning of that child during a particular reporting period. This information will inform what is reported on in each frame for each child, for each reporting period.
Educators communicate key learning, growth in learning and next steps with families in a variety of ways -- both formal and informal -- over the course of the school year.
By the end of the two year program, children should have demonstrated growth in learning in all of the overall expectations.
Does the Communication of Learning- Initial Observations report replace Fall classroom observations/visits?
The manner in which boards choose to implement the processes for communicating with parents throughout the year, including the format and the timing, is a local decision made at the board and/or school level. Communication of learning with families comes in a variety of forms and is responsive and flexible to be supportive of each child and family.
What supports have been provided and/or will be provided by the Ministry of Education for educator teams, administrators and families?
Professional Learning Opportunities - Fall 2016: Eight learning modules to support the implementation of the Kindergarten program. The eighth module is devoted specifically to communicating information about children’s learning using the Communication of Learning template.
How have our union and federation partners been involved in the development of The Kindergarten Program 2016, Growing Success - The Kindergarten Addendum (2016), and the Communication of Learning Templates?
Representatives from unions and federations have been part of the feedback and consultation process throughout the development of The Kindergarten Program 2016, Growing Success - The Kindergarten Addendum (2016), and the Communication of Learning Templates.
Representatives from unions and federations have been invited to take part in all regional training and capacity-building sessions that have been offered by the Ministry since the inception of full-day Kindergarten in 2010.
Representatives of federations and unions, as well as principal, supervisory officer and board associations were part of the Kindergarten Implementation Working Group (KIWG). This working group provided input to the Minister of Education around communicating children’s learning to parents, professional learning for educator teams, effective implementation of new documents, and resources to support educators, administrators and parents.
How do educators share concerns about a child’s learning while still remaining asset-based in their comments?
Comments on the Communication of Learning report that describe challenges in relation to the overall expectations can focus on what children have learned, recognize children’s growth and include possible next steps for learning in language that parents will understand. The ongoing communication with parents that educators are encouraged to establish early in the school year (Growing Success – The Kindergarten Addendum, page 13) further supports the comments in the communication of learning report.
A draft Educator’s Guide includes sample comments that may serve as a useful reference in helping educators to frame their comments.
What is the role of the educator who provides planning time/preparation coverage in the preparation of the Communication of Learning?
Planning time/preparation coverage teachers are members of the collaborative educator team and would be included with the classroom teacher and ECEs in the local processes to work together to assess key learning, share observations of student growth in learning, and share other relevant observations.
What is the role of parents and families in the Communication of Learning?
Ongoing, reciprocal communication between children, parents and educators is essential to support children’s learning. Parents are vital partners in their children’s education.
The Kindergarten Communication of Learning template includes a tear-off section for parent comments and acknowledgement of receipt of the report and/or a request to discuss the child’s report with the educators. Parents may return this section to the child’s school as part of the continuous communication process.
The Ministry continues to support families of children in Kindergarten with the creation of a guide for parents (Understanding Your Child’s Kindergarten Reports: A Parent’s Guide to Kindergarten Communication of Learning: Initial Observations and the Kindergarten Communication of Learning), to follow soon.
Do we have to report on math and literacy every reporting period?
Opportunities for literacy and mathematics take place throughout the day, which allows for many opportunities for educators to garner assessment information that may be communicated to parents in many ways throughout the reporting period.
Some expectations appear in more than one frame. How do educators determine where in the Communication of Learning to report on these expectations?
An expectation is associated with the frame that encompasses the aspects of learning and development to which that expectation most closely relates. An expectation that addresses more than one aspect of learning may be connected with more than one frame.
When reviewing the pedagogical documentation, educators examine the evidence of key learning or growth in learning that has been demonstrated by the child, determine which frame best aligns with that evidence, and then report growth in learning in that frame.
When completing the Communication of Learning reports, educators use clear and familiar language to describe key learning, growth in learning and next steps in learning.
Sample comments are included in the draft Educator’s Guide.
Will there be a guide for educators to go with the new Communication of Learning reports?
Yes, a Guide for Educators is posted in DRAFT version on EduGAINS in the Kindergarten subdomain.
When is it necessary to place a check in the IEP or ESL box on the Communication of Learning document?
If the IEP outlines accommodations only, then the IEP box is not checked.
If the IEP outlines modifications in one or more frames, then the IEP box is checked in the respective frame, and the “Program expectations have been modified to meet the needs of the child.” (page 15) is included.
Regarding English Language Learners, Growing Success - the Kindergarten Addendum states, “When a child’s learning and growth in learning are based on expectations modified from the expectations in The Kindergarten Program (2016) to support English language learning needs, educators will check the “ESL” box for the frame.” (page 16) A Kindergarten student who might need modifications as an English language learner would be quite rare; however, if the educators have documented that with accommodations a child is not demonstrating growth, then modifications might be necessary.
How do we write next steps in the June Communication of Learning?
A next step is focused on a child’s learning and provides suggestions that would be appropriate for home and school, and that meet the child at an appropriate developmental level. Next steps focus on learning, not on an activity. Educators use their knowledge of the child, The Kindergarten Program, and conversations with the family when determining next steps.
To continue developing his understanding of how writing works, we encourage Ryan to write about areas of interest to him, and to write for different purposes, such as writing rules for games he invents, creating signs, making lists, and sending notes to others.
There is no place for “learning skills” on the Communication of Learning templates. How will we communicate these?
Learning skills are integrated into the program through the four frames, particularly within the frames of Belonging and Contributing and Self-Regulation and Well-Being. The expectations encompassing learning skills are assessed and communicated in a holistic way as part of the personalized description of the child’s learning journey.
What is the specific definition of Key Learning?
Are comment banks appropriate in the Communication of Learning in Kindergarten?
The draft Educator’s Guide, linked here, includes sample comments that may serve as a useful reference in helping educators to frame their comments, as these samples demonstrate how educators can touch on multiple overall and their related specific expectations when composing a descriptive paragraph about the learner. The sample comments also reflect the integration of anecdotal evidence and the child’s voice in determining key learning and growth in learning for the child.
Do we have to include ‘next steps’ in every frame?
Growing Success - The Kindergarten Addendum states that a child’s key learning and growth in learning in relation to the overall expectations in each of the four frames must be described clearly in the Communication of Learning reports (page 15).
Educators may use their professional judgement within the context of their relationship with the child and family to determine in which frames next steps are included.
Sample comments for “Next Steps” use the pronoun “we”. What does “we” suggest and what is expected?
In the sample comments found in the Guide for Educators the inclusive pronoun “we” is used to include families and educators. It reflects the idea that next steps are part of an ongoing reciprocal conversation between the educators and the parents that supports the learning of the child in all of their contexts. Using ‘we’ may also reinforce that the classroom is a learning community where educators and learners support each other’s learning as they notice and name the learning that occurs.
What changes were made to the Communication of Learning templates?
In response to feedback from the field, some revisions were made to the format of the Communication of Learning templates to further support educators in completing these templates.
The Initial Observations template includes the addition of extra blank space below the teacher’s signature line. This will allow extra space for an additional teacher signature in situations where that may be necessary, for example, French Immersion or job sharing.
On the January and June templates, the boxes for writing comments in the four frames have been re-sized to be equivalent, reflecting that each frame is of equal importance. The box for teacher and principal signature has been moved to the bottom of page 2, eliminating the need to copy three pages for the OSR. The text box with information about the four frames now wraps from the top of page 3 to the top of page 4 so that parents may return their tear off section to school without losing any program information. There is extra blank space below the teacher signature line, as with the Initial Observations template.

Oil is not only good for sealing in moisture.
While there’s a limited number of ways to use oils in your hair, the type of oils you use make a difference between simple sealing, stimulating growth and strengthening the hair fibers.
So, it would stand to reason that depending on your hair goals, you want to pick the right hair oil (or combination of hair oils) right?
For those with a goal of stronger natural hair, using herbal hair oils is the way to go.
Herbal hair oils are made with a combination of oils and herbs vs. a singular oil like coconut or jojoba. The properties within each of the oils and herbs, when blended together create a powerful oil for your hair.
There’s an exhaustive combination of herbal hair oils you can use in your natural hair but fine natural hair benefits most from those oils that fortify the strands. I’ve tried a number of combinations of herbs and oils, recipes that while all beneficial for the hair, took a lot of time to prepare.
Narrowing down to just two herbal hair oils, I’ve discovered a powerful combination that takes very little time to prepare.
Warm the henna on top of your stove using a double boiler or just sit a break proof bowl containing the henna over a pot of boiling water until the henna warms. Then, combine with all the other ingredients in a dark amber colored jar. Alternatively, you can put all ingredients in a mason jar but keep it in a dark place so that the properties of the oils and herbs are not disturbed.
Allow this mixture to sit for a couple days up to a week. You’ll notice the color of the oil will change to a darker shade. You can then strain out the henna powder (the vitamin C and MSM, if used will dissolve). Leave the fenugreek seeds, as they will continue to infuse the oil. If you prefer, you can also leave the henna powder in the oil just know that your oil will have more of a gritty appearance.
If you want an already mixed Fenugreek hair oil, Curly Proverbz created a powerful combination of oils using Fenugreek, in partnership with Belle Bar Organic. It contains Coconut oil (or Grape seed oil), Olive Oil, Castor Oil, Henna, Methi (Fenugreek), Vitamin C, Peppermint Essential Oil, Rosemary Essential Oil and Tea Tree Essential Oil. Curly Proverbz recommends adding the MSM as Belle Bar does not carry that ingredient.
I used 4 bags of Curly Proverbz’s Fenugreek “Methi” Herbal Hair Oil with coconut oil as a base. I likely won’t repurchase this for a while as I’m creating my own version of it using the recipe above. It’s more cost effective this way. Especially since Belle Bar is now distributing the oil in a smaller bag for the same cost.
I created my herbal hair oil from a working knowledge of using various herbs for hair growth. The process for creating an herbal hair oil with either Cornerstone Skin or Nupur is quite easy. I’ll share more details in a YouTube video at a further date but to provide an overview, I simply heat up the herbs, mix them in a base of coconut or grape seed oil and allow the oil mixture to sit for a few days before straining and using. This is the same process used when creating Fenugreek “Methi” hair oil.
The Cornerstone Skin Henna Blend contains a 36 herbs (full video review here). This henna blend contains so many beneficial herbs which is why I chose it to create my herbal hair oil to begin with. However, upon closer inspection, I noticed that henna is quite far down on the ingredient list (16th to be exact). You’ll find the full ingredient list on Cornerstone Skin’s website here.
That’s why I’ve decided to repeatedly move forward with the Nupur Henna Blend when creating a herbal hair oil. It contains only 9 herbs in addition to henna, which is the most abundant. An herbal blend containing many many herbs is not necessarily something you want for creating a hair oil. You want your oil to contain an abundance of potency for each of the herbs you choose to use. You begin to lose the potency of one herb over another when you have too many herbs working together.
As you can see from the list of herbs that formulate Nupur’s Henna Blend, there’s the potential to create a potent herbal hair oil that can greatly strengthen fine natural hair.
What Do I Use as a Base Oil?
What you choose to use as a base oil to mix your herbs with is entirely up to you. My hair can tolerate coconut oil but I find the oil blend to be less drying when grape seed oil is used. You can even opt to mix the two oils to reap the benefits of each.
First off thank you Michelle for posting this! So I have nupur henna that I bought last month. I did a henna gloss (2nd one ever, first one was in India in 2016) and it seemed to give my hair life. I trimmed the really bad ends, but I cant find a oil that helps with my very bad dandruff or scalp psoriasis… gro-aut oil looks good but thats’ not a daily oil right? I was originally going to buy a 3 pack of almond, avocado and jojoba oil and buy essential oils afterwards, but im so confused.. money is tight so Im also looking for time and cost effectiveness. Jojoba oil and grapeseed works for dandruff but not long.
hi. thank you for this information. question: is it possible to use jojoba as the base oil for a herbal oil?
Hi Yes. It’s actually a great oil to use because it’s most like the sebum that comes naturally from your scalp.
i swear its like you where here with me and red my minde. just last weekend i was mumbling to myself “i wanna try a herbal oil belnd”…. when i recieved ur email and red the title i was like huuuh !!! ahahahah! oh Michelleeeeeee this article is all the research i need & i will get to practical application right away ! i wil start with the Methigreek oil since i hv the ingredients ! =) i’ll let you know the first impression ! thank you so much !
ha ha! Glad the article spoke to you.

Sentio is an artisan crafter of cabaret inspired luxury cosmetics. In a historic 1800's building located in the Broadway District of Rock Island, IL, just blocks away from three theatres, a speakeasy, and a burlesque troupe, it's no wonder that we have a flair for the dramatic. Using premium ingredients like clinical grade luxury oils and butters, mineral based pigments, crushed pearl powder, and real 24K gold, we hand craft small batches of unique products in theatric colors and inspired, beautifully strange fragrances.
Sentio is a Latin verb for to experience, or to feel. True to our name, we capture the essences of certain scenes through uncommon fragrance profiles and fun descriptions. Customers love browsing our selection of bath bombs and musing over what a 1920's starlet would smell like, or the fact that "The Cat Lady" smells like cookies and tea.
Speaking of tea... we'd love for you to curl up with a warm cup and stay awhile.
Our soap is handcrafted from scratch in small batches in a cast iron cauldron over a vintage stove. It's a slow process, and like a good cheese or wine, a fresh batch of soap takes a long time to cure to perfection. Each is scented with our own signature house blends of fragrance, and colored with mineral pigments and genuine crushed gemstones.
From the beginning, we've worked from the core value that there is no luxury worth enjoying without a clean conscience. That is, that bubble baths are way more awesome when you know that animals, forests, and small communities weren't hurt to make your luscious bath treats. Sentio has been Certified Cruelty Free from the start, and upholds a personal promise to use wholesome, ethically sourced ingredients all the way up the supply chain in the making of our creations.

Leading companies, organisations and attractions from across the UAE were singled out for their outstanding contribution to the country at the UAE Pioneers Awards on Wednesday.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai, announced that a total of 30 organisations had won the individual Pride of Zayed award.
Winners included the spectacular Louvre Abu Dhabi which marked its first anniversary earlier this month.
Others highlighted for their pioneering achievements included Emirates Airlines, the UAE military, Dubai Airport, the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque and the Sharjah Book Festival.
Sheikh Mohammed made the announcement as he and other UAE leaders gathered at summit in the capital to debate the future direction of the nation.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE’s Armed Forces, was also among those present.
The Pride of Zayed awards were decided by public vote.
Residents were able to nominate companies which they felt the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, the country’s founder, would most likely be proud of today.
The award was founded in 2014 and is promoted on social media each year.
The Louvre Abu Dhabi announced it welcomed more than one million visitors in its first year.

The number of migrants crossing into the EU is likely to be much lower than that cited by the EU's border agency, Frontex.
The Warsaw-based agency said in a tweet on Tuesday (13 October) that it double counts detections.
“Monthly figures includes all detections @ EU external borders. People arriving in Greece would again be counted entering Hungary".
The tweet followed a press statement by the agency that stated: "the total number of migrants who crossed the EU’s external borders in the first nine months of this year rose to more than 710,000".
The agency then points out that 282,000 were recorded for the whole of last year.
It then refers to the "total number of migrants" as detections, failing to note that some are double counted.
The detail was instead mentioned on its Twitter account after a request for clarification.
The majority of people seeking asylum in the EU first cross into Greece and then through the Western Balkans before entering a second time into Hungary.
Some are known to have made multiple attempts to cross into Hungary.
It is also possible that some may have made other attempts at crossing into the EU at the Croatian border after first being rejected at the Hungarian border.
When pressed, Frontex did not provide figures at the time of writing on how many were detected twice over the same period.
It said that in 2015, Hungary registered 13 times more detections compared to the same period as last year. It is unclear how many were counted twice.
It also noted an “estimated 97,000 people, not yet included in the official figures, also entered the EU through Croatia in the second half of September after Hungary sealed its border with Serbia”.
Frontex executive director Fabrice Leggeri, for his part, wants member states to send more border guards to help screen and debrief arriving asylum seekers in Italy and Greece.
“I do hope we receive adequate contributions which will show the true spirit of European solidarity”, he said in a statement.
The agency has seen a series of budget hikes in the past year.
At the start of year, it received €114 million and then received a €27 million injection in April.
Leggeri in September said they are now set to get €176 million next year, a 54 percent budget hike.
Proposals are now being made at the European Commission to expand the agency’s mandate. The Brussels executive wants Frontex to be able to send unwanted migrants back to their home countries.
It will also be the focal point in a future plan for an European border and coast guard corps.
The European Commission, for its part, is set to propose legislation before the end of the year on EU-wide border guards.
Frontex, the EU's external border agency, is being given a 54 percent budget rise next year as part of a new European Commission package of initiatives to tackle the continent's refugee and migrant crisis.
The EU border agency has the potential to police Europe's borders, save lives and reduce human trafficking, but lack of means and political will reduces it to a resource-poor coordinating agency, says a report by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
EU ministers struggling with mandatory quotas seem to have forgotten or overlooked a 2001 directive on temporary protection, which is designed for mass influx situations.

Nowadays, all office employees are provided with a system—either a desktop or a laptop—to carry out their work. While such equipment is added whenever new employees join the organization, old systems are replaced with new ones (as and when they become due). On this front, certain organizations do have a very clear policy for replacement, but many don’t.
It is necessary to define clear rules for refresh and also convey them to the organization at large. Users are often tempted to ask for a replacement because their colleague might have got a new machine with better features. This request often comes in the form of false complaints which incline towards a plea for a replacement.
Rules of replacement vary across organizations. While some specify a fixed time period for retiring old assets, others specify a batch that would be replaced. The time period for retirement also varies between three to five years. In fact, many such rules may often not be based on scientific assessment.
I have heard of such debates in organizations during times of stress—for example, in times of recession or when the company’s business and finances are under pressure. At such times, business questions the rules for replacement, and often asks for extension of the period. This is again an ad-hoc measure, and not based on sound judgment.
Beyond this period, we generally face work disruption due to failure of parts. For example, often laptop displays start giving problems, batteries die out, and CPU (or RAM) needs replacement.
We spend on repairs, spends go up, but all these don’t enhance the resale value. The total cost of ownership goes up.
Delay often causes problems in terms of compatibility, For example, it could be in the form of not being able to read files created in a higher version by other colleagues. Or it could be in terms of difficulty faced in installing the newer version of a software package.
If we replace with a new machine, we get a three year warranty, and therefore save these costs.
We may often be tempted to defer replacements, thinking that we have saved in terms of spends for the year. However, when considered from a long term perspective, we may perhaps find that this was not the right decision.

When executive director Helen Kuttner approached me back in 2015 to ask if I would like to work with her, executive producer Michael Coland and the Sunset+Vine team on their host broadcaster (HB) coverage of the World Athletics Championships, I jumped at the chance.
We had worked together, with many of the crew, on the host feed of other major athletics events over the years, including the 2010 Delhi and 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games. Indeed, the core of the crew were part of legendary BBC athletics director Martin Webster's team, which had provided the World feed on the 2000 Sydney Olympics Athletics. That was such an iconic event it is still my personal all-time career highlight (sorry London!).
So, even before we discussed the crew, Helen had a strong idea which camera operators she wanted, from throughout the UK and beyond. Once I had seen her draft but detailed camera narrative, which would in fact remain remarkably intact, I was able to offer suggestions for suitable extra cameramen and women, with whom I had worked over the years, to fill in the gaps, bearing in mind that many good people would be unavailable due to other seasonal commitments. Also, many of the athletics regulars would be needed for our co-production partner Film Nova. Led by director Matthew Coliandris and camera supervisor John Oldroyd, that team was to provide live coverage of the marathons and walks, away from the stadium. Fortunately, Sunset+Vine's senior production manager, Ruth Hayman, was able to offer hotel rooms for those based outside London.
The philosophy of host athletics coverage over the years has been to divide the coverage up in to separate feeds for the various disciplines. For a small meet, there will be a minimum of a track feed (running races) and another for the field (shot put, high jump, javelin, etc.). If there is no additional combining integrated feed, the highlights from the field feed are inserted into the track coverage. Once the track cameras are rigged, they usually stay in place for the whole event. However, one of the challenges for the camera supervisor is to co-ordinate the movement of the field cameras to cover the various field events, often several at the same time, which can be all over the field of play.
During the planning stage, Venue Technical Manager, Steve Goodey, an engineering manager with vast athletics experience, and Sunset+Vine's Director of Technical Operations, Mark Dennis, were tasked with translating Helen's camera narrative into a technical specification, with all the various permutations and associated connectivity, laid out on Excel spreadsheets. I felt one of my jobs was to transfer these details to colour-coded infographic camera plans, so we could all see quickly where each camera and camera operator needed to be for every event and the relevant cable route back to the various production galleries. I suffer a little from number blindness and a big spreadsheet sometimes makes my eyes glaze over. Talking amongst colleagues, this does not seem to be uncommon amongst those of us who have made careers in the visual crafts. I hand-drew these camera plans at Glasgow 2014, for my own benefit as much as anything, but they went down well, helping all departments sing from the same sheet. Now I wanted to up my game and enter the 21st century for London 2017 by providing electronic versions. On advice from fellow cameraman Kevin Bonner, I eventually settled on Apple's Keynote as the most suitable software. The track camera plan would almost certainly be constant but the field camera plan would be different for each of the 14 sessions and would indeed frequently change mid-session (see examples of the camera plans on page 34).
As 2017 was such a huge event, we had a track feed, five field feeds and a dedicated feed from the marathons and race walks, to ensure that nothing was missed for the broadcasters on site. An integrated feed combined the best from all of the HB outputs as well as its own dedicated cameras to produce the World feed.
Each feed had its own production gallery, director, script supervisor, sound supervisor and dedicated VT operation. Thus, we were producing up to seven separate simultaneous broadcasts for the duration of the championships. The integrated World feed alone produced 70 hours of continuous coverage with HB commentary, which many international broadcasters took as complete stand-alone programmes.
Larger international broadcasters, such as NBC, TBS from Japan, the BBC and several other European nations had their own dedicated cameras in the stadium to provide an even greater focus on their domestic athletes and would take those cameras along with all the individual HB feeds to produce more country-specific coverage. For instance, Bruce Miller's BBC crew had 10 of their own cameras in the stadium, including their on-site studio. Our camera teams worked with the BBC and the overseas broadcasters to avoid long lenses appearing in each other's shots, but it was only our host broadcaster cameras that were allowed on the field of play to ensure that the competition and coverage was as clean as possible.
The main camera configuration consisted of regular OB fare: Sony 2500 standard and 4300 slo-mo cameras, Canon 86:1 box lenses and HJ22:1 and HJ14:1 lightweight lenses, and the lovely EL75 OLEO viewfinders. These were bolstered with 10 radio cameras, four jimmy jibs, a tracking buggy, five ACS rail cameras, eight mini-cameras, three Sprintcam Hi-Mo cameras and a wirecam. It is important, however, not to overlook the basics and one thing we have learnt from experience is that it is vital to hire tripod wheels for the field cameras, as this is the only way to commute them efficiently and safely between events.
After months of planning, involving many site visits and meetings, it was good to arrive at the Olympic Stadium at the end of July to find unit managers Kevin Orwin and Trevor Cooper's NEP team well established in the sizeable N compound, based around 17 portacabins of production galleries and technical areas.
NEP guarantee cameraman Leighton Grist had already organised hundreds of camera boxes in a tent in the corner of the compound - he was a superb quartermaster, in addition to his day job of operating one of the super slo-mo cameras. After a week of rigging, cable testing and rehearsing, we were ready to go on Friday 4 August.
Once up and runninq, the track coverage, as predicted, was self-contained and there was not much for me to deal with, apart from some discussions on style and minor housekeeping. I left the track in the hands of camera supervisor Glen Woodcock, who has worked with Helen for many years.
I had hoped that with all the planning, the field events would also run smoothly, but in the event there were a few logistical issues to deal with. This started with a bang , on the second morning of coverage, when the event organisers laid the high jump mats over our camera cables before we had even arrived on site at 07:00. Requiring all hands on deck and following some delicate negotiations with the officials, plus Keith Davies from UK Athletics and the Olympic Stadium ground staff, who were keen to ensure minimum harm to West Ham's pristine turf, we managed to free our cables, plug up our cameras and get everything ready by the time the athletes arrived on the field of play at 09:30. By the skin of out teeth! It was just as well we had made the effort during the build to foster friendly and co-operative relationships with the other teams working alongside us.
For the most part everyone operated the same camera throughout the event, which provides substantial continuity benefits - and, although it can be challenging, it is usual for the Steadicams down on the track to cover the whole session. This is manageable as there are natural punctuations during the track schedule allowing for some rest. It did mean, however, that the other handheld radio camera operators would have to cover the entirety of each field event, and there were sometimes several of these per session. I would not ask anybody to do anything that I would not do myself and the feeling was that it would be hard work but manageable, with gaps in the day and, indeed, some sessions where a particular camera was not required at all. Again, we ensured that each radio camera also had its own tripod and wheels available if required. Towards the end of a session, fatigue sometimes became evident and several times I offered my services as a relief, but each time I was turned down. Everyone was keen to finish the job.
After 10 days and 250 hours of live coverage of superb athletics, captured by over 80 of our cameras at the end of 50 kilometres of cable, it was all over. The general consensus was that it was the best athletics world championships coverage ever and the standard and creativity of camerawork on display was fittingly world class. As the cliche goes, if you fail to prepare then be prepared to fail, and a lot of people from the broadcast team put in a serious amount of planning to ensure that the right folk and equipment were in the right place at the right time; once on site it was full-on for all of us. I know from my friends and family how the event captured the imagination of the British public. Many of the camera crew also told me how much they enjoyed it and how proud they were to have been part of such an iconic event. The only downside was saying farewell to head-on specialist cameraman Steve Coleman, who had decided that after 40 years of inspirational service this was to be his last major event. You are a legend Steve!
For myself, it was real pleasure to work with so many friends for those two weeks in August, when the eyes of the world were upon us.

As the temperatures climb higher outdoors, folks everywhere are seeking refuge indoors thanks to their beloved air conditioning systems. However, so many of us have come to view what was once a luxury as a necessity for daily living. Many more have forgotten about air conditioning’s humble beginnings, and the man who literally redefined what it meant to “be cool” back in 1902.
The summer of 1902 was another record-breaking scorcher all over the Eastern seaboard, but New Yorkers were hardest hit. Handfuls of citizens were falling ill each week due to heat stroke and dehydration. To be working indoors during this time, with industrial machinery cranking out even more heat inside buildings with little ventilation, was practically unbearable and even a death sentence for some. The week prior to July 17, 1902, seven people died from heat-related issues.
On the second floor of a Brooklyn publishing building, the Consolidated Lithographing Corporation was busy creating the next issue of the humor magazine, Judge. The magazine featured whimsical images which had to be printed color by color, for instance, black one day and cyan the next and so on.
However, the heat and built-up humidity meant the ink wasn’t drying fast enough and the colors weren’t lining up properly. Also, the paper began to curl at the edges, making it difficult to feed into the printing press. Production would suffer from frequent delays because of these complications.
Enter Willis H. Carrier, a young engineer fresh from Cornell University and employee at Buffalo Forge Furnace Company who developed a solution to the company’s cooling problems: air conditioning.
While a far cry from the central air systems we know today, Carrier created the necessary foundation. He revolutionized a way to cool down workers and their heat-building machines by blowing air over cold water pumped from underground springs into the building. Production no longer had to suffer, and the concept of controlling temperature snowballed. Called “a Johnny Icicle planting the seeds of climate control all across America” by American Heritage Magazine, Willis H. Carrier had started a movement that took the world by storm and redefined the standards of home living.
1903 – Carrier built a refrigeration unit to cool the water pipes faster.
1911 – He released the Rational Psychometric Formulae, which became known as the “Magna Carta of Psychometrics” and the building blocks for modern air conditioning.
1925 – The modern air conditioning system, featuring air blown through water instead frost-prone pipes, debuted at Broadway’s Rivoli Theatre.
1955 – One in every 22 American homes had air conditioning.
1960 – One in every five American homes now had air conditioning.
2003 – During another sweltering summer, a blackout across the Northeastern U. S. reminds people how intolerable modern life would be without Carrier’s invention.
2010 – Over 100 million American homes, 87 percent of the population, have air conditioning.
2012 – The Brooklyn publishing building, where it all began 110 years ago, still remains without central air. Window units dot along the second floor of what is now rented studio space.
Many have even said that Willis Carrier paved the way for the Internet, since his air conditioning unit reduced dust and allowed for the construction of clean-rooms in computer and electronic companies. No one can argue that Carrier changed the nation, even the world, with his miraculous invention, yet scientists and ecologists are concerned that our dependency for air conditioning is unsustainable in the long run. Many countries like China and India burn coal in order to supply energy to their electricity grids, which includes air conditioning their homes and businesses, and this means a hotter planet overall for Carrier’s creation to attempt to cool down.
Despite worries about the future of climate control capabilities, the present has given us a respite from the summer heat all thanks to Willis Carrier and his brainchild. Happy birthday, air conditioning, and thanks for still being so cool after 110 years.

There are lots of new animal and bird album cover designs around, so I thought I'd kick off this latest run with just birds. A couple are truly iconic images focused on the bird as an image, there are a few hummingbirds and owls, and quite a few with birds more as an incidental, sometimes two-dimensional part of the design.
The first two have a similar feel, in spite of very different intent and music styles. The Clubbers Guide is a favourite - bird as a simple, imaginative device engaged with the concept - as is Andrew Bird's snooty budgie, which captures the witty spark of his music well. As for that Wilco cover, that is pure genius, capturing a mood perfectly in the most stylish way possible - a picture that says so much, both in content and design, and a very powerful image. Those owls on The Terrible Twos are way cute - let me know if you're recording a CD and want a cartoony design along those lines (or even a naturalistic cover illustration) - I'd like to do one.
City City City - The Perimeter Motor Show - mostly instrumental with diverse instruments and a jammy, occasionally dissonant sound. I like this a lot!
The Terrible Twos - If You Ever See an Owl - Something different from Matt Pryor (of Get Up Kids) and the New Amsterdams, a cool, hook-laden children's album!
Belles Will Ring - Mood Patterns - Chiming and melodic debut recorded in our own Blue Mountains by a rising star band!
I thought about starting a separate category for female artists with birds in their hair, as demonstrated here by Sarah Blasko on What the Sea Wants the Sea Will Have and Emma Tonkin on The Anchor and the Albatross. These capture the vibe and themes of the respective albums perfectly, intelligently incorporating images of the artists themselves and the other elements (I hate albums that just have a boring photo of the artist on the cover).
Last but not least there is Hatebeak, the death metal band from Maryland, whose lead singer is an African grey parrot named Waldo (smart species, the African grey). The cover itself is evidently a tribute to Judas Priest. Waldo records separatelyfrom the band, due to a sensitivity to loud noises, so don't expect a tour. With the CD singles sold out, an album is in the works.
Those are great album covers, the women's hair being my favorite.
I agree with you, too, about how boring album covers are when it's just a photograph of the group. I prefer a little more creativity!

If there is a problem, I will volunteer to step in, but I'm not about to steal someone's slot. I haven't even participated in this project before!
I don't have his e-mail either. Maybe he could be poked in the Books? But, it may be that you'll have to step in, MithLuin (of which I'd be grateful in that case); I remember that Roccondil said at some point that he has very little free time at the moment.
Myself, I'm off for a vacation, and won't be back until Sunday the 16th.
My apologies for being so late.. Indeed I have had very little spare time lately, even for the VTSG. I am now posting the summary and questions for the Council of Elrond.
I can get my materials ready on or about the 1st, but am reluctant to short-change the discussion on what I think is a very important chapter, this month. Should I get things ready for the 1st or the 10th?
Thank you both, Roccondil and Arvegil. I'll try and catch up with the discussion after I've settled down again.
Arvegil, maybe you don't have to wait until the 10th, but you could post your summary around the first weekend of August; there can well be more than one discussion going on at the same time.
Hopefully I will be in sync with the group soon. I would even like to do a summary, but I cannot commit to a specific one as of yet.
EDIT: *gulp..* I will take October,Chapter 5, The Bridge of Khazad-dûm; Chapter 6, Lothlórien. The kids should be settled into school well enough for me to find the time in late September to put this together.
With little notice, I am being called out of town this weekend. I should have things up early next week.
Summary posted. Questions coming soon.
September is approaching, and Gilwen, who originally booked the next chapter, hasn't been around for a while. The discussion about the current chapter is quite slow, but anyway, would anybody be interested in taking care of A Journey in the Dark?
I've just picked up the book again, and in order to catch up more effectively, have skipped the first two chapters of Book II ( ) and started at "The Ring goes South".
I feel I'd have the time and inclination to read both this and the next chapter over the weekend, though, so unless someone else is already preparing it, or desirous to do it, I could do the summary for "Journey in the Dark" this weekend.
As good a time as any to start- things seem slow this last month.
As you can tell by the lack of an arsenal next to my name I'm new here on the boards, but not new to the works or Tolkien. I'm looking foreward to jumping in and offering up some opinions as well as seeing what others think..
But for now I'll have to get to reading the next chapter as it's listed.. I will however review all of the older threads just to get a feel of the group and how things have been progressing..
Welcome to TORC and the Virtual Study Group, Nightbane!
I do hope you'll join in! Things have admittedly been slow ( ), and it would be great to see them pick up again.
Arvegil, indeed, your chapter has had so few posts, which is a pity - but I really need to re-read it before I can say anything.
Welcome to the VTSG, Nightbane! It would be great to have you participate.
Hobby, if you wish, you can gladly take up A Journey in the Dark.
I must apologise my own passivity in last month's discussion - RL has been a bit taxing, and I haven't had any opportunity to reread the chapter properly. I hope to catch up on that discussion, too.
Thanks, rowan, will do so (am busy reading - love the chapter! ).
I hope that having skipped something as crucial as The Council of Elrond isn't going to be an impediment.
Maybe I'll get round to read the chapters I skipped in a bit.
Edit: have read the chapter but summary will have to wait till tomorrow, as it's bedtime now.
I apologize as well, I have read the August chapter and have been prepping my notes and responses to the questions occassionally here and there as time allows. I need to pull my thoughts together and post a reply so I can get on with September's chapter!
Just a quick Hi to everyone, having returned from a well-earned internet-free break. There have been so many good posts here and in the Books forum in the last month or so and I hope to reply to as many as possible (if work doesn't get me first)!
I am going to start putting together the summary and questions for October. I've never lead a discussion before. Do I just go ahead make a new thread when the time comes?
Yes, just start a new thread for it. Most people post the summary in the first post, and the questions in another one right after that.
I wasn't here for a bit but I am back.
Hope you folks still want me. If you remember me.
Sheesh, the people they let in here these days!
WyrtWif, great that you're taking on the October thread!
Why is seeing you here different from seeing you at other places?
Wyrtwif And I *will* contribute!!
Welcome back, Mahima! Hopefully life is less crazy for you now, so that you won't disappear again right away!
I have drafted up the summary for chp 5 (great occupation of my time during son's scout meeting) and will be putting it to printed word shortly. As for the questions, well, I'll just be pulling those out of my hat.
Whoo hoo- just passed my 3 year mark!
Anybody willing to take up the November discussion?
I did last month's. Is there nobody else?

A massive dust storm, known as a Haboob, engulfs part of the Texas panhandle thanks to a powerful supercell thunderstorm. Zero visibility was common around the storm making travel very dangerous.
We left Amarillo, Texas around 9:00 am and our target would be west of the Childress, Texas area. The morning synoptic surface conditions had a dry-line across the New Mexico, Texas border, while a westward moving outflow boundary would be the focal point for severe thunderstorm development. Storm motions were expected to be very slow movers, but adequate instability and enough wind shear would favor supercells.
The guys decided to find a park and grill before our chase endured. The outflow boundary moved west of us and figured storms would initiate near Amarillo or further south. The first storm of the day initiated along this boundary, 50 miles southwest of Childress, Texas and quickly became tornado warned. We hit the road and decided to pursue the storm.
The storm became a supercell rather quickly that featured a pronounced hook echo on radar. We wound up on the east side of the high precipitation supercell and our plan was to drive around it to view the updraft region. The storm began to slowly shift due south and realized in the distance that dust was being picked up. The inflow became stronger as we got closer and dust was persistent causing visibility to 1/4 of a mile. Conditions had become so bad, we lost sight of the road and drove into a ditch. We waited five minutes hoping the dust storm would subside, but we needed to get out of the ditch, and back on a paved road that was 2 miles to our south. Thankfully, we made it out, but still endured limited visibility. We drove west through Crosbyton and Rallis and the dust storm continued to obscure our view of the supercell. It was there next to us the whole time; but we couldn't make out any storm features. There were reports of tornadoes in the area, but they were weak and brief.
There was no point chasing this storm any longer, and we drove back to Amarillo, Texas to find another storm north of the city. We continued to follow it, but it reached its demise near Lake Meredith. The chase was over; our trip was over. We drove to view what water was left of Lake Meredith and headed back to Amarillo, Texas to call it a night.

text: Screeching Phoenix may be mostly bereft of the ability phoenixes have (to come back to life), but firebreathing is a good way to make sure everything is on fire at the end of the day. And it’s firebreathing that boosts your entire team, so this becomes very efficient if you have a bunch of creatures to swing in with. It’s maybe not the most spectacular creature, but it is another way to make your team more able to break through their defenses; a 6-mana 4/4 with evasion won’t be the easiest creature to kill.

House as defined on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_music) is bass heavy, beat pounding electronica with influences of disco, soul, and funk. DJG, The Generalist is progressive in his track selection. Favorites of mine Daft Punk, Tiesto, Basement Jaax, A-Track, and the Yeah Yeah Yeas, tracks are familiar, and the house tracks are a mix of house covers I've not heard until now. Not flawless, however, only a few vocals here and there are overdone. Overall a get up and move, do computer work to, or blast in your car after you download and burn; End All 2011 is a fun mix. Fifty minutes in and it is heavy, tribal, plus it's new; DJG posted it just two days ago.
Not for the faint of heart, or those that might want to listen to soothing, relaxing music.

Well, the results are in, and after polling a large group of no less than 7 people (with myself being the 7th) ages 5-35, I have the official results of the Vanilla Creme Cookie Challenge. Pictured to the left are the contestants in the VCCC. From top to bottom they are: Vienna Fingers, Golden Oreos, and SnackWell’s Vanilla Creme.
Testers were instructed to taste a bit of each cookie and select their favorite.
I prefer my Vanilla Creme cookies served cold. Both the Vienna Fingers and the Golden Oreos were chilled, but the SnackWell’s never made it into the fridge. This difference in temperature may have affected results, but I don’t really know for certain if it did.
I expected to walk away from this test with a clear winner – which in one way I did, but in another, it was a split decision. Namely, because the testers decided that there were two factors when it comes to selecting their favorites. So I’m breaking out the results into Favorite Vanilla Cookie Flavor and Favorite Vanilla Cookie for Snacking – the idea being that certain cookies could not be eaten in mass quantities.
This was a clear winner, with 6/7 tasters saying in terms of a good tasting cookie, the Golden Oreo was the best by far.
These results weren’t as clear-cut but SnackWell’s came out as the winner. First, two of the subjects didn’t let me know which was their favorite cookie for snacking (they were 4-6 yrs old…so I’m not sure they’d really know what I meant.) The final breakdown was 3 for SnackWell’s, 1 for Golden Oreos, and 1 for Vienna Fingers.

When I was browsing through "A Beautiful Mess" from Elsie and Emma I found this darling recipe: Rosemary Latte Syrup. Since the recipe is simple and I love the savory smell and taste of rosemary and coffee I decided to try it out.
My dad brought the perfect honey for this recipe from France when he came over.
Bring the water and honey to a boil while stirring to dissolve the honey. Turn the heat down to a simmer and add the rosemary sprigs. Let this cook down for 10-12 minutes until the mixture has thicken some. Remove from heat and allow to cool before use.
And this is what you end up with! I put it in an old coke bottle to fit in our fridge.
The taste is AMAZING!! It combines perfectly with the silky taste of a good latte, and gives it just that little extra punch it needs!

You are Great, really Great Sir!!
Thanks. Your course is in a class by itself and a remarkable tutor.
This course has changed my life. I have filed over 6 complaints against debt collectors with over 22 defendants for violations of consumer laws using what you teach in Jurisdictionary and have never lost a case in Massachusetts. Thank you.
I am more than impressed with your "How to Win in Court" online course. Thank you so much for your willingness to help others by making the course available and easy to understand for a reasonable price.
I recently purchased your Jurisdictionary course and have LOVED absorbing everything.
The judge was amazed when I outmaneuvered my opponent's team of high-priced lawyers. Lead attorney was former Assistant State Attorney General. I won because of you and your course. Thank you!
I used your course to sue my ex-partner and forced him to settle for $50,000! Thanks for your excellent course.
I want to testify to how comprehensive your course is. I was amazed how sound and easy to understand your lessons are. Used your method to force the other side to produce contract they claimed I breached. When they could not, I filed a motion to dismiss their case. They settled. Thanks for your course!
Got my second win in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Thanks.
A guide to the rules attorneys follow in civil lawsuits.
Always shall you have my greatest respect and admiration.
Jurisdictionary WORKS! Won against a powerful attorney. Even the other attorneys in the gallery were talking about it.
Another victory! They backed off as soon as they received my demands! You are a prayer answered from the Lord!
I bought your course, and it paid off!
I have your course. I wish I had a picture of the opposing attorney when I objected to his attempt to get an affidavit admitted! Thanks!
I have learned more in the last few days than I could have in years on my budget.
I truly love the course! I've kicked myself for not getting it sooner. Your information is putting all the puzzle together for me. The work you are doing is awesome!
I have your course, and it is truly a blessing.
Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you have certainly put into creating this one of a kind program. I can only imagine how may people it has helped who have taken the time to check into it.
Thanks for keeping the course going all these years!
You have helped me a great deal at a time when i could have lost everything i worked for these last thirty years. You have enlightened me with Armor of new education, I never knew I would some day need.
This course is absolutely needed for personal enlightenment and navigating through many difficult situations...it builds confidence to ask the right questions. I refer to it often mentally and visit the site to gain clarity.
Won 4 motions in court yesterday. Wish I had your tutorials a year ago!
I've learned more from you than from any law classes that I've attended.
Been fighting 3 collection agencies. Absolutely ecstatic about my victories. Prior to purchasing your fine program, I was just one of the ignorant herd these people prey upon. Your user-friendly course is the best $249 I've spent in a long time. My wife overheard plaintiff's attorney say, "Don't mess with that guy!" Wow!
I won $11,000 lawsuit against a bank by using your course. I was amazed how easy it is to understand! It gave me confidence. The bank's case was dismissed with prejudice! Thank you for making a great course. I got back much more than the cost. I got back my dignity! God bless you!
First, we thank you! We recently purchased, received, and studied your full course. Wonderful!
... Nicholas and Ursula D.
Your information was an angel on my shoulder helping me through the panic phases.
I've learned so much that I decided to run for the U.S. Senate seat here. Your course gives me confidence I can be a lawmaker who knows how law is supposed to work.
Jurisdictionary has given me the strength and confidence to go before the courts.
I have been using your program for four years and have won every case. Keep up the amazing work!
Since learning from your course my life has changed for the better, and I am finally in control of my formerly overwhelming legal problems.
Without your course I would have been another casualty of the system.
The knowledge I gained from your program has greatly empowered me. I am thankful to you.
I took on the City of Omaha and won. I was featured on a popular radio show to give proof "one man can defeat City Hall". Thank you!
Ordered your course. Followed your plan. Other side had 3 attorneys. Cleaned their clock using your methods. Their case came down like a ton of bricks when I proved their elements were not there. Thank you!
WOW! Thank-you. This is what I was looking for and it exceeds my expectations!
Most impressed. This course explains to someone who has never seen a chess board before, the pieces and rules of a chess game in order to have a real chance of winning. I especially congratulate you on your mission statement and the quote that says that half of knowledge is knowing where to find it.
Your website is amazing. I am devouring all of the material. Please keep up the great work.
You tell us thanks but We thank God for His wisdom shining forth through you.
I bought your course. It's great!
Thank you for your guidance and the time and effort you've put into the American Dream.
Because of the education received in your course, I stayed on top. Neither the courts nor the bank could knock me out.
Thank you for providing your course to people at an affordable price.
I learned more in two weeks with your course than I did in 2 years of paralegal school. I feel empowered! Your great course is clear, concise, and systematic.
Defeated a 35-year veteran lawyer I've been fighting the last 3 years. Most of this victory is credited to your course. I can't thank you enough.
You are completely brilliant. I have never seen/read anything like this. I am eager to get this information out to help others like me. Thank you.
I tell people about your services as though it's the gospel. Your course is answer to a prayer I've had a long time.

Sir, – Prof T Joseph McKenna, a physician for whom I have the highest regard, argues that Sláintecare is neither affordable, feasible, nor fit for purpose (“Sláintecare is built on shaky financial foundations”, Opinion & Analysis, February 12th). I respectfully disagree.
He puts forward the €600 million to €700 million, now paid for the care of private patients in public hospitals, as a necessary supplement to public funding. Unfortunately, in the absence of reliable data on hospital costs, it is unclear if hospitals actually make any money on this work, but the cost to the economy is evident, both the opportunity costs of providing unnecessary services, and the burden on those queuing for care in the public system.
He notes our ageing population, and expresses the usual alarm at the burden this will place on our services, although that this “burden”, of people living in fairly good health, for longer, is well understood, can be quantified, and has been met, quite easily, by most other EU health services.
He compares our services to the current crisis in the NHS. I do not argue that the NHS is perfect, far from it, but it has provided ready access to affordable care for most people, something our services have yet to achieve. Its current crisis results from a failure to provide reasonable funding. I would argue that our service is in a worse state than the NHS. The most distinctive features of our service are that it is costly, hospital centred, has long queues for services, and does not provide for universal access to primary care. Irish patients face exceptionally high out-of-pocket costs, as well as high insurance costs. Our use of private insurance to avoid queues, and the opportunities for private practice, paid fee per item, which are open to most consultants, both contribute to this.
The costs of Sláintecare are high, and this is inevitable. Comparing these revenue costs, to the €1.5 billion capital costs for the new children’s hospital, is not very useful. A better comparison is with the costs of demographic change alone – which are about €450 million a year. The costs of inaction are likely to be much higher. Our system is slowly falling over, costs are rising, and staff recruitment is getting harder.
