Our mission statement of ‘Success Built on Care’ reflects two important aspects of our school. We want all the children to be the best that they can be, to achieve in a personal, social and academic sense and experience success throughout their learning journey. In addition, we want children to grow as individuals in a caring and supportive environment and develop into happy, confident and responsible learners.
All our staff work hard to achieve the best possible outcomes for the children. We are proud of the progress that our children make and proud of the results that they achieve at the end of each Key Stage. We have high expectations for children and staff.
Our curriculum is engaging and appropriate to the needs and interests of the children. We provide high quality lessons in the whole range of National Curriculum Subjects. In addition, we believe in developing the children’s skills and interests beyond these subjects and, therefore, provide opportunities for children to learn a range of musical instruments, to learn Spanish, to perform in a number of school productions, to take part in outdoor adventure activities and a school holiday to Paris. Children also work with many different artists, musicians and theatre groups and enjoy a wide variety of educational trips.
We aim to offer many enrichment opportunities to the children through the extended curriculum and a range of after school clubs. We offer opportunities for parents and carers to extend their own learning and become more involved in supporting their child through a range of courses such as Family Literacy, Family Numeracy and Fit 4 Life.
Allanson Street Primary is an exciting school to be a part of. We hope our website gives you a flavour of our happy and successful school. If any of your questions haven’t been answered or if you need further information or would like to come and visit us, please do not hesitate to contact us by phone or e mail.

Across America, the opioid epidemic affects moms, babies, and families. A key concern is infants born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), a condition associated with exposure to opioids in utero that may result in hyperirritability at birth, feeding difficulty, and respiratory problems. School of Public Health Associate Professor Katy Kozhimannil recently co-authored an editorial highlighting research examining the community-level forces, structural factors, and social determinants contributing to the emergence of NAS cases.
The editorial, co-authored by Lindsay Admon of the University of Michigan, was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) and accompanied a study by Stephen W. Patrick and colleagues, looking at the association among county-level economic factors, clinician supply, and NAS. That study found a relationship between unemployment and NAS in rural communities, and between a shortage of mental health professionals and NAS in urban communities.
In terms of solutions, Kozhimannil says the study’s findings suggest there may be promise in investing in community prosperity as a component of efforts to counteract the effects of the opioid epidemic in rural counties. She also said the results reveal the necessity of focusing on the health of pregnant and parenting women in addition to diagnoses that occur among their infants.
Focus more broadly on reproductive-aged women, regardless of pregnancy status.
Amend or repeal punitive laws that discourage women from disclosing substance use during pregnancy.
Allow pregnant and postpartum women priority access to insurance coverage expansion programs and other programs that allow for treatment continuation.
Address important knowledge gaps that remain, including a focus on use of multiple substances (e.g. opioids, methamphetamines, marijuana, alcohol, tobacco) among reproductive-aged and pregnant women.

Home » Can You Have a Miscarriage Without Bleeding?
Pregnancy is one of the most important periods of the parenthood. It changes our tastes and habits naturally, without our wish, preparing a future mother for a new life.
Unfortunately, not all pregnancies are successful. Sometimes woman’s body decides to stop growing a baby inside without any reasons, and miscarriage happens.
It is very important to know its symptoms and analyse causes of miscarriage, in order to give a happy birth to a healthy baby next time.
Miscarriage can happen any time during pregnancy, and most commonly, during the first trimester.
Every fourth pregnancy ends up in miscarriage in the very first weeks. Sometimes a woman may even not know that she is pregnant.
In most cases, this early miscarriage can tell you that the body is not quite ready for pregnancy or you should change your current lifestyle and habits, or the embryo was weak and sick.
Doctors consider unsuccessful pregnancy as a miscarriage during the first half of the pregnancy. After the 20th week they name it a stillbirth.
If miscarriages happen later during pregnancy, and you had a few of them, there might be some serious problem with parents’ health and the doctor will set up the treatment for you.
How does the Miscarriage Happen?
As soon as you get pregnant, your body naturally will behave rebelliously and will fight against stranger’s cells. In the early weeks of pregnancy it will try to clean out the fertilized egg and then an embryo that has just formed.
Miscarriage is always stressful. Everyone knows that such a threat may exist, but not everyone knows its symptoms and how to prevent it.
What are the Most Common Symptoms of Miscarriage?
Any miscarriage at any time during pregnancy has common symptoms. They are usually pain and bleeding, but the intensity and nature of them can be different.
At 6-8 weeks miscarriage looks like a late period, but with a heavier bleeding and some blood clots in the discharge. In this case it is impossible to save your pregnancy.
When the bleeding is very mild and looks like one time spotting on the hygienic pads, please never leave it without attention, rush to the doctor. There is a very high chance to save your pregnancy.
If there is nothing disturbing you, even with mild bleeding, doctor will more likely recommend you to calm down, minimize physical activity and avoid stress.
What are Other Symptoms of Miscarriage besides Bleeding?
Hypertonus of uterus, especially when you feel discomfort or pain with cramps.
Severe pain in a lower belly and sometimes in the lower back.
Diarrhea and nausea and unusual weakness.
Even if there is no bleeding, but you have any of these symptoms, you should go to the doctor.
It is also very important to see the doctor for regular examinations. There can be no common symptoms of miscarriage, no bleeding and no pain, but the tests will help you and the doctor to identify an emergency.
How can the Doctor can Prevent my Miscarriage?
If you planned your pregnancy and got necessary check ups, it is possible that all the infections have been treated and all the physiological issues have been resolved. Then you will have better chances to have a successful pregnancy.
It is very important to see your doctor as soon as you feel like you are pregnant.
From the first weeks of pregnancy doctor is able to diagnose possible miscarriage, even if there are no symptoms for it.
If your cervix is closed.
Abnormal cervix length and quality, etc.
My Story of Miscarriage on the 13th Week.
My second pregnancy was highly desirable, waited and absolutely normal. I had only one problem - cinnamon, I smelled it everywhere. That is why I decided that my quick business trip will not be a problem for my future baby.
During my 9-hour return flight I noticed a small dark brown spot on the pants, but as soon as I did not have any pain, and no more bleeding, I decided to see my doctor on the scheduled appointment two days later.
Unfortunately, two days later the doctor could not hear my baby’s heartbeat, and ultrasound confirmed that the baby was dead.
In my case, I had some infection and a small fibroid on the side of my uterus.
Mild bleeding or no bleeding along with other symptoms should be referred to the doctor’s examination as soon as possible. Your doctor may know what caused your miscarriage, but it would be better if he helps you to prevent it at the right time.

Faces guitarist Ronnie Wood has said that the band “haven’t ruled out” getting original frontman Rod Stewart to play with them again.
The reuniting band have recruited Simply Red’s Mick Hucknall as a replacement for Stewart, and are set to play the Sussex Vintage At Goodwood festival (August 13-15).
Wood told NME that Stewart wasn’t on board because of schedule clashes, but claimed they were on good terms and he may join them in the future. Stewart in fact told fans at his O2 Arena gig last week (May 29) to give the Simply Red man “a chance” if they went to see the band live.
The guitarist said that the band may tour in January and hoped to play Glastonbury and other festivals in 2011.

I’m a bit of a grumpy old lady when it comes to that thing called fusion.
I’m fortunate enough to work from home, which means I don’t have to deal with the hellish traffic nearly as often as everyone else who lives in the metro.
It’s not an easy thing to get me out of my apartment, much less out of Makati.
I’m one of those people who like staying in Manila for Holy Week.
No, I’m not talking about margarine, and if you knew anything at all about me, you would bite your tongue for even suggesting it.
I’m a bit of a purist when it comes to cuisine.
Few things in life are more comfortable and comforting than old friends.
My all-time favorite pizza place is Pizzeria Delfina in San Francisco.
I just got back from a six-week trip to the US.
So, what’s a winning chicken dinner? Here’s a hint: it doesn’t come in a cardboard bucket.
It’s that time of year when nightmarish traffic, crowded malls and gray, gloomy weather tend to leave me cranky, drained and overwhelmed.
Like fashion, the key to a good salad is the dressing. And the accessories. Otherwise, you’re just eating rabbit food.
Geeks all over the world, myself included, recently mourned the loss of Leonard Nimoy, who died at 83 of complications from COPD.
Call me crazy but a good roast chicken is love. In fact, roast chickens are a lot like relationships. The best ones are hot, tender, healthy and comforting, yet slightly wicked (hello, sinfully good skin!).
So, eat, drink, be merry and don’t forget to appoint a designated driver (or call Über). And remember: what happens at the Wine & Cheese party stays at the W&C.

It was up above Moab, Utah I first made this Sand Flats smoked chicken recipe. I was camping at the Sand Flats Recreation Area, just a stone's throw from the famous Slick Rock Trail, loved by bicyclists and motor sports enthusiasts alike.
There once was a time I could ride the entire Slick Rock trail on my mountain bike. Once, I rode it two times in a single day. Nowadays I'm out of shape, and can only dream of riding that trail. But I can still cook a mean chicken!
I climbed the sandstone dunes behind my campsite one evening. This is the view from above.
It's beautiful country. Rocky sandstone formations, blowing sand, cactus and the cryptobiotic crust on top of the sandy soil. Interesting and awe inspiring.
This smoked chicken recipe cooks a little quicker than your typical smoked whole chicken recipe. The backbone is removed from the chicken. I use kitchen shears, but a stiff, sharp knife will work- just cut through the bones on both sides of the backbone, then press the chicken flat.
I use my Weber Smoky Mountain smoker when traveling with my RV. A single filling of charcoal briquettes in my charcoal chimney is just enough for one or two whole chickens. Make sure the charcoal is completely ashed over before adding to the smoker.
A few chunks of apple or hickory wood gives the chicken the right touch of smoky flavor. Smoker wood chips work too, but to prevent them from bursting into flame, wrap them inside foil packets before tossing onto the charcoal.
Fill the water pan half full of hot water before placing the chicken in the smoker.
Combine the smoked chicken rub ingredients. Rub the chicken with oil, then generously season it on all sides. Gently separate the skin from the breast and sprinkle some seasoning between the skin and meat. That's a trick that adds awesome flavor to the breast meat.
Chicken smokes best at around 300 degrees Fahrenheit. It will take around 1 and 1/2 hours to cook at that temperature, and the skin will be brown and crispy. When the internal temperature of the thigh reaches 170 degrees, it's done.

In Ukraine several pro-Russian figures have met with untimely deaths, three this week. The latest is Oles Buzyna, 45, a pro-Russian journalist who was killed by shots fired by masked men from a car Thursday, Interior Ministry adviser Anton Herashchenko said.
Wednesday MP Oleg Kalashnikov, a close ally of the former leader of the Ukraine Mr Yanukovych, was also shot dead in Kiev. He was killed outside of his home.
Following the shooting Thursday Heraschenko told BBC News “both men were key witnesses in a criminal case related to pro-Russian activists who attacked protesters in the Maidan Square uprising that deposed Mr Yanukovych."
They were both also active opponents of the uprising which focused on Maidan Square in 2014.
LA Times reports "Another journalist from Ukraine's strife-torn Donetsk region, Sergei Sukhobok, was found dead Monday in Kiev, reportedly killed in a fight with neighbors in the Ukrainian capital. A suspect in that killing was arrested Thursday, said Sputnik, which called Sukhobok another victim "known for his opposition to the current Ukrainian leadership."
It has been a deadly three month period with at least eight other officials with links to Yanukovych already dead, following 'sudden' deaths the current Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has ordered an investigation; as he says such 'deliberate' acts play into the 'hands of our enemies'.
The dead were classed as suicides but authorities now suspect foul play with some maybe forced to take their own lives.
It looks like 'removal' of the witnesses in the Anti-Maidan is underway but looks can sometimes be deceptive.
Russia still maintains the so-called Maidan revolution was western funded and staged and we should not rule out any possibility.

There’s more to an infant’s cry than what meets the ear.
A Nigerian startup is seeking potentially life-saving information in those wails using AI.
It’s developing a deep learning model to enable hospitals in developing nations to use this data to improve treatment of birth asphyxia, one of the most common — and deadly — neonatal conditions.
The World Health Organization estimates that birth asphyxia, or the loss of oxygen to a newborn during birth, kills as many as 4 million infants every year, or more than one-third of all deaths of children under the age of five.
Charles Onu, founder of startup Ubenwa (which literally means “cry of a baby” in Igbo, a language spoken by millions of people in Nigeria and elsewhere) learned about asphyxia during his undergraduate studies several years ago. He wanted to apply his engineering education to solving the problem.
Onu later read about a piece of research from the 1970s that established a connection between voice and asphyxia, and he began wondering about the connection between the condition and a newborn’s cry.
As Onu learned about machine learning, he realized that pattern identification was an approach that fit well with identifying subtle indicators in a newborn infant’s cry.
Eventually, he founded Ubenwa with engineering lead Innocent Udeogu, obtained a dataset of 1,400 infant crying examples from researchers in Mexico, and started developing a machine learning algorithm that would detect subtle distinctions in infant cries to identify the presence of asphyxia.
Ubenwa is based in Nigeria, but Onu works with a small team in Montreal, where he is a graduate research assistant at McGill University.
In 2015, Onu won the best paper award at the Neural Information Process Systems Workshop on Machine Learning in Healthcare. The prize was an NVIDIA TITAN X.
Onu and Udeogu paired that GPU with the TensorFlow deep learning library to develop their models. The company is now looking to acquire more data from hospitals to further validate its models. Part of that effort involves scraping public websites such as YouTube for examples of crying infants.
If its early machine learning algorithms are a predictor, Ubenwa is onto something: its first models achieved an 85 percent success rate in predicting the presence of asphyxia, an achievement detailed in a recent paper. This helped launch the company into the second round of IBM’s years-long Watson AI XPRIZE competition, which will award $5 million to the winner.
In developed nations, newborns are routinely screened for conditions such as asphyxia using blood drawn immediately after birth. Elsewhere, hospitals often lack the required equipment and expertise, and have undependable electricity.
Ubenwa plans to offer a mobile application that will substitute for clinical efforts in developing countries. Caregivers could use Ubenwa to record an infant’s cry, and the app will compare the amplitude and frequency patterns of that cry against its deep learning models to determine whether asphyxia is present.
The company hopes to begin field trials in January 2020, initially focusing on Nigeria and its population of about 200 million. Regulatory complexities aren’t inconsiderable, by Onu believes Ubenwa can have a global impact, and potentially enable other diagnoses to be gleaned from an infant’s cry.
“Sudden infant death syndrome and other conditions could be detected earlier,” he said.

Happy New Year! I took a bit of an unplanned break from writing over the holidays- with 2 weeks of family time, catching up, and a sad goodbye to one of our very beloved family cats, it was a time of mixed emotions. We had lovely but very quiet new year, which was just what was needed, and I’ve been really enjoying knitting the truly effortless Effortless Cardigan by Hannah Fettig, which proved to be the perfect TV/holding conversations/gentle on the brain project when I needed it most. I now have just one sleeve and the ribbed band to go!
Custom fit socks (photo below) and an improvised cat-in-law rendered in knit for my dad-in-law (photo of cat is pre sewn-on face).
Custom knit socks worn with pride!
I also did some gift spinning for the knitters- soft pink aran weight 2ply merino for my mum-in-law to knit a cowl, and the major 500g dk weight 2ply maroon merino for my mum to knit a cardigan. I can’t wait to see how their projects turn out!
At the start of each new year I think of something positive and realistic I’d like to achieve in the coming year, and focusing on this intention I pick an angel card to give me the theme I will be working with this year. My positive knitting resolution this year is to prioritise (a challenge for me!) and to publish 6 new designs. The angel I picked for this year was POWER- a theme I find quite challenging and scary, but wow- it’s also a big resource of energy to take into my projects this year!
Do you have any goals for your craft projects in 2015? Whether you plan to finish that heirloom blanket or to knit your first scarf, I’d love to hear it! Leave a comment in the thread below.

POWER to you, Rosie, in 2015. Can’t wait to see those new designs. I am not a knitter, as you know, but I get inspiration for craft projects from reading your blog and seeing the marvellous colours in the photos. I recently went to Cyprus and my New Year’s resolution is to make a Roman mosaic paving stone for my garden.
2. Decrease my wool stash.
And my boyfriend has already ordered the first thing for me to practice the stranded colourwork technique. Oh dear. I’ve just posted something about it on the blog in case you’re curious.
6 Designs in one year sounds exciting btw. I already look forward to seeing what those will be!
I think decreasing stash is a pretty brave resolution! :) I have hopes of doing the same with mine. Looking forward to seeing pics of your stranded colourwork too!
I would like to learn how to steek. I think I am going to knit a tea cosy with the Tilly Trout group because there is a colorwork cosy with sheep on it that would be a good learning project..

Politics - if pursued in a moral and ethical manner- IS a spiritual act. The ultimate intent of a political race is - or should be - to elect the person who will do the most good for the most people. It is where believe meets the pavement, where spirituality is put to practical use. To stand aloof, pretending one is above such worldly things, is to be less spiritual, not more - you are not doing your best for your fellow man.
If I believed in God, I'd be pretty annoyed at how small and petty people make him out to be, caring about who wins a football game or where your pee-pee goes. Or getting involved in US electoral politics. Doesn't it bother anyone else that all the awe and majesty and grandeur has been sucked out of the concept of a Supreme Being until he's turned into some kind of bookie?
There's a good case for avoiding religious hubris in politics -- of being too confident that your candidate or your case is clearly God's choice, much less that your candidate is some sort of perfect heaven-sent messiah (a la Lincoln's famous quote, or what Sarah Palin was actually saying about the war in Iraq). There's a good case for not focusing on a candidate's personal religious beliefs and practices, because it's their decisions about public policy that matter (as said here in a Zuzu post I agree with). There's a very good case against pursuing many religious ends through public policy. And there's a case (albeit not so simple or slam dunk a case as many people think*) against pursuing candidates or policies who can only be justified by appeal to religious reasons.
Pettiness (an over-focus on the small things) is certainly a bad trait, but so is aloofness (an under-focus on small things). Religion should strive to exhibit neither of them in its engagement with politics.
*I've been intending to write a whole post on this, but basically the idea is that people too often conflate the religious vs secular distinction with the Rawlsian public vs private reasons distinction, which works only insofar as you can attribute fideism to all religious believers.
**This also perhaps deserves a full post, but I think there's a common tendency in socially liberal arguments to conflate caring vs not caring with supporting a broad range of acceptable options vs demanding conformity to a narrow ideal of conduct. If you don't care about an issue, you're not going to support enforcing a narrow ideal -- but you're also not going to invest anything in fighting against others who want to enforce a narrow ideal.

Kumyrna is an old, abandoned town on a mountain plateau directly south of Guglovo. It can be accessed via a set of winding paths to the northwest (from Mogilevka or Novy Sobor), but is easier to get to from Guglovo. All of the buildings here are more or less just ruins, looking as though a battle or great fire occurred here at some point in the past.
There are a total of nine buildings here, including a church. All of the buildings located in Kumyrna have seem to have been shelled or burned sometime after the events of Arma II. The town is known for little to no activity due to a lack of supplies spawning here. Behind the Kumyrna church is a graveyard with deceased Chernarussians buried there.
A static Mi-8 helicopter crash site located in the east side of Kumyrna was removed at one point to facilitate dynamic vehicle crash sites throughout the map. Prior to its removal, the wreckage provided an additional clue to what may have happened at this place. The site spawned military loot very early on, and military Infected could be found here as well, making the former town quite lucrative as it usually went untouched by travelers. The presence of all of these military elements suggests that Kumyrna may have been an innocent casualty during a conflict.

Health effects on divers vary depending on the contaminant. The most severe symptoms of breathing contaminated gas are impaired judgment and loss of consciousness, both of which may be deadly underwater.
Some contaminants may not cause direct harm to the diver's health; rather, they cause equipment damage increasing the diver's risk for accident and injury.
+ Be attentive to compressor maintenance to ensure quality compressed breathing gas and extend the life of the compressor.
+ Perform safe air fill procedures. Before filling tanks, inspect the compressor filters for damage and contaminants or engine exhaust near the intake. Filling should stop immediately if chemical or oily odors are detected. Keep records of air fills, maintenance and operator qualifications; use proper oil and filters; and maintain a clean and organized tank-filling room.
+ Air quality testing. Several methods of testing are available varying in price and complexity. Continuous CO and moisture monitoring devices are available. Sending a breathing-gas sample to an accredited laboratory for analysis is recommended on a quarterly basis.
DAN is offering gas analysis assistance. If you were involved in an incident possibly related to breathing contaminated gas and you have lawful control of the tank, preserve the tank and contact DAN Research at 919-684-2948 or via email at Research@DAN.org.
+ Get air fills from a reputable dive shop or club.
+ Ask questions and be observant of compressor maintenance, fill procedures, breathing gas analysis, and records.
+ Conduct a predive gas check. If your breathing gas has an unusual odor or taste, do not dive with it.
+ Check your cylinder for carbon monoxide (CO)—an odorless, tasteless and colorless gas. Electronic CO detectors or color indicating devices can detect the presence of CO in breathing gas.
Breathing gas contamination can negatively affect a diver's health and safety.
Identifying contamination cases based on symptoms alone can prove difficult. The symptoms are often vague and are similar to other illnesses.
If divers suspect exposure to bad breathing gas, they should seek a medical evaluation and analyze the gas in their tank.
Symptoms need to be evaluated in the context of the dive exposure. Typically, a group of divers will have their tanks filled from the same source. Monitoring fellow divers who had their tank filled by the same source can help determine whether symptoms are related to gas contamination.
Sources of contamination vary, but include impurities existing in the surrounding environment (engine exhaust, carbon dioxide, dust particles) and/or by-products of the compression process (carbon monoxide or hydrocarbons from compressor lubricants).

Have you ever found yourself feeling… well… bored with your WineShop at Home business (or any direct selling business, for that matter)? Like somehow the magic is gone?
Yep, I’ve been there. It’s so important to recognize when you’re in this space so you can find a way to get through it and continue moving forward in your business. Because of that, I’ve invited Dana Phillips to write a guest article on this very topic this week.
Trust me: if you’ve ever felt “blah” about your business, you want to read this! Take it away, Dana!
Every direct seller goes through a “falling off period.” Usually it looks something like this: a direct seller reaches a certain point in his or her business where they “get it.” They’ve integrated the sales strategies, the hosting, and they have the system down pat.
They’re making money, but the magic is gone. It feels like they’re just going through the motions… they’ve forgotten why they started.
When I work with clients who feel bored with their business, I take them back to a time when they were a brand new, wide-eyed consultant dreaming of the incredible possibilities the direct selling industry could bring them.
When you reconnect with the big, emotional WHY that had you get involved in the business in the first place, you can reconnect with the spark of inspiration you felt at the time. And even if you’ve already accomplished some of the big goals you held for yourself within the business (“I want to earn the incentive trip! I want to become a team leader! I want to generate $1000 a month in commission!”), there is still room to uncover what motivates you now.
This is where it starts to get exciting. Yes, you’ve accomplished the goals you set for yourself in the beginning, and now you get to set new goals and think even bigger.
For most direct sellers I know, reconnecting with their passion for the business has a lot to do with giving back to others. Consider what you can do for other people simply by sharing the business with them and giving them the opportunity to join your team (if this feels scary, imagine how different your life would be if no one had ever introduced you to WineShop at Home—imagine the opportunities you would have missed out on).
Sharing about the business isn’t the only way to reconnect with your passion. I have one client who makes a bunch of money with her business and has decided that she wants to be a philanthropist. She sends about $30,000 annually to an orphanage in Africa where she knows she’s helping children have a better life. How’s that for motivation?
There was a point in time when I had to look at my big WHY, and I realized that my passion is to empower women. I help young women earn money so they have more F words: flexibility, financial freedom, and free stuff (incentives like free wine, accessories and trips). In my experience, women make powerful choices that are beneficial to their community; they spend money in ways that help others. That’s something I feel very passionate about supporting and working towards.
Other big WHYs may have something to do with independence, security, adventure or relationships. Taking care of family members (children, a spouse, parents, etc.) is a huge motivator for most of my clients.
As you move forward in your journey toward reconnecting with your passion for your business, remember that nobody has ever “arrived.” You’ll never “get there” because your target destination will constantly change!
Climbing the mountain of success will never be a straight shot to the top. There will be a jig here and a jog there—the goal is to enjoy the view, love the journey, and be good to others along the way.
I invite you to dream big and be willing to work to make your dreams come true. No matter what your situation, there is always a way to reconnect to your best path, however it may look.

Why Do Bengal Cats Bite?
How can an owner deal with this?
The number one reason Bengals bite is because they are bored. When they are not entertained, they will get bored and start biting whatever they can find.
to quit its behavior without causing the owner any sharp-toothed pain to the hand or leg when the cat turns on you.
This behavior can frequently be connected with the owner’s actions, even if it’s something as innocent as playing with their new kitten. A little, playful kitten is almost impossible not to wrestle with, usually with your hands.
But, this teaches the kitten to view their owner’s hand as a toy, which they are allowed to bite and scratch as they please.
This behavior can be cute when the kitten is little but once the kitten grows up, it might impact whether their owner views the Bengal as a good pet.
Biting as a kitten becomes a problem as the cat gets older not just because their teeth get bigger, but because they get bigger over all. The cat will have more weight to throw around, and into the bite. Their strength also grows as they get older and bigger, creating an obviously stronger and more painful bite that can even draw blood.
This one’s easy, a Bengal’s biting is too much when the owner feels so. Keep in mind, a little biting is fine, especially if they are really young and their teeth are still in development.
But if an owner is unsure, it can be determined by looking at the cat’s behavior.
Hurt a little too much?
Upset any guests in the home?
If the answer is yes, you need to figure out how to fix it.
Training a Bengal is highly important to dealing with their biting. Their aggression can lead them to be very difficult to deal with otherwise.
Before getting a Bengal, a potential buyer needs to consider whether they would be able to handle a biting cat or not. If not, or if not able to deal with the mock attacks they enjoy, an adolescent Bengal would might be a better option.
If a kitten is playing with something that they shouldn’t be, scolding can be ineffective with a Bengal. Instead, the owner should find a toy that the kitten likes and distract them with it so that they leave the other item alone while the owner whisks it away.
This way the owner isn’t trying to take the item away from the kitten when it is the only focus of the kitten’s attention. This can also keep the item in question from getting shredded by the kitten’s sharp little claws in the future.
Should the cat be playing with a human and a toy but the play turns too aggressive and the cat turns its interest to the human’s skin, stop playing immediately.
Clapping of hands together, once and hard, will make a loud noise to get the cat’s attention. Then tell the cat in a stern voice “no”, and walk away. This shows the cat that playing with a toy is perfectly fine but should the play turn to showing aggression to the human, play will cease.
Cats of Australia advises that praising the cat when it is gentle is a great and easy way to reward its good behavior. Scolding it when it bites or scratches a person, pet, or object that it shouldn’t harm can be hit and miss with this breed and should be done only when it has been proven to work in the cat in question.
Another option similar to this is to try and be the alpha animal. Grabbing the scruff of the neck, holding the kitten still, and growling at it when it has been bad can work well in some cases.
But this frequently backfires on the human exhibiting this behavior. The kitten might view this as need to exhibit its own aggression to present itself as the alpha animal in opposition to the owner’s dominating attitude.
Just because Bengals like to bite, doesn’t mean their relationship with their owner should be difficult. Training the behavior out of the cat early on in its life can solve the problem completely and is the most advisable way of eliminating this behavior.

Welcome to Thankful Thursday! We are meeting at Grace Alone today.
~ having a wonderful husband who is so helpful to me. Tuesday afternoons are busy for me and Caleb, so when he comes home he gets our supper started. I try to have something on that night that is quick. This week he got the tacos ready so I could have one before going to volunteer at the library book fair. I appreciate his help.
~ my sweet boy and the big hugs he has been giving me. The other day he gave me this giant hug after school, and it made me smile.
~ our air conditioner. Already the temperature outside got to the upper 90s (the sign at the bank said 100 this afternoon) so we used the AC a little bit by late afternoon.
~ being able to work at the school book fair. We had a good turn out on Family Night and also had plenty of volunteers to work during the week.
~ the blessing of being a stay at home Mom. I just felt so thankful to be able to be home and do the things I was doing this week for my family.
A wonderful list of blessings.
What wonderful thanks. Being a stay-at-home mom is HIGHLY UNDERRATED. I treasure my years when I chose to be home with my kids... Would never change that decision ever. Have a wonderful day!
I know you and Caleb are enjoying Spring! Have fun.

to establish a campus for creating an institution for promotion of tribal languages, literature, arts and culture with a view to initiating formal education in the area of conservation of tribal imagination.
‘Bhasha Centre’ is a voluntary organisation established in April 1996. ‘bhasha’ which stands for ‘voice’ or ‘expression’ , works for safeguarding marginalized languages and cultural diversity. Bhasa’s special interest has been the adivasis and the nomadic denotified communities. It is engaged in bringing a greater appreciation of the cultures of these two social sectors and ensuring their entitlement to constitutional gurantees and cultural dignity.
Bhasha’s work area include promotion of non-scheduled languages, study and conservation of adivasi imaginative expressions, education, healthcare and empowerment of adivasi communities, protection of human rights of the Denotified and Nomadic Tribes ( DNTs) and policy level interventions in the interest of diversity,rights and empowerment. To overcome this huge challenge the Centre strives to reduce economic deprivation as well as changing social attitudes beset with stereotypes.
Bhasa encourages the pursuit of both lines of action for social transformation and self-reliance by nurturing the energy and imagination of the adivasis. The organisation’s work in the areas of languages and culture is spread across India while its social interventions are primarily based in Gujarat.
The Centre has both a national network of community representatives, scholars, writers, artists spread across all States and Union Territories of India and an international network of indigenous scholars, writers and artists from across 30 countries across the globe. ‘Bhasha Centre’ believes in creating social leadership and more than eighty percent of its staff belongs to adivasi communities.
Bhasha has created the Adivasi Academy for education, research and extension work, several Community Based Organisations for development work and the Budhan Theatre as a platform for creative expression of nomadic communities. In recent years, Bhasha has extended the scope of its language and cultural activities to cover other ethnic communities through initiatives such as the People’s Linguistic Survey of India and Community Ethnography. Bhasha has also initiated work towards a Global Language Status Report. The details of the activities are given below.
Bhasha, already working for the promotion of Adivasi languages and successful in revitalizing the Bhili group of languages, decided to intervene to slow down and reverse the process of language endangerment. Since there was lack of clarity on how many languages are actually spoken in India, Bhasha decided to undertake a nationwide survey of the living languages in the country. Titled as the Peoples Linguistic Survey of India (PLSI), this is the first national survey of languages in post-Independence India.
It encompasses people’s perception of their speech varieties and covers communities across all States and Union Territories. The survey was conceptualized and led by Prof. G. N. Devy, the Chairman of the PLSI series. Following the survey, the Central Government has started several new initiatives for protection of Non Scheduled Languages.
The Adivasi Academy is conceived as a people’s institution, devoted to developing tribal studies as an academic discipline and social action field. Bhasha chose Tejgadh, an Adivasi village on the borders of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, for locating the institute. The Adivasi Academy is unique in that it combines direct contact with adivasi villages as well as a continuous dialogue with the best minds in India and other countries. The Adivasi Academy designed innovative study programmes between the years 2000 and 2011 in areas of Museum and Culture Studies, Sustainable Development, Well-being and Healthcare, Languages and Oral Traditions and Publishing for under-graduate and post-graduate students.
The Academy has a Multilingual Training Centre, Vasantshala, for out-of-school Adivasi children on its campus. It has designed a context-based curriculum for Adivasi children that has helped to retain children in school and facilitates their complete schooling. The Academy runs learning centres in villages for ‘pushed out’ children and has over the years integrated over 15,000 children to government schools.
Known as Vaacha Vaacha’, denoting ‘voice’, the Museum at the Adivasi Academy is a space for expression of Adivasi imagination and creativity. Bhasha has prepared for the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, the National Consortium of Tribal Arts and Culture, which connects through the use of digital technology and multimedia, the collections of eighteen Tribal Museums through films, photographs, songs and stories reflecting the richness and diversity of adivasi life.
Vaacha has embarked upon an open-source Visual Archive collection of lectures, videos and nearly 40,000 photographs, of and by Adivasis, providing a glimpse of adivasi life and society in transition. Over the years the Vaacha has put together digital documentation of performative practices of over 140 Adivasi and nomadic communities Bhasha’s publication unit has published a hundred titles including little magazines, books and journals in 32 adivasi languages. Vaacha has a craft outlet promoting the artwork of adivasi artisans.
Most significantly, Vaacha is preparing a National Digital Corpus of Adivasi Music. Already, the adivasi music of Gujarat, Chhattisgarh and Assam is documented and the corpus is being extended to cover music of other states.
Bhasha has instituted the annual Kaleshwari Mela at Kaleshwari at Panchmahals. Held every Mahashivratri, this lok mela brings together 12000 nomadic and adivasi artists from Gujarat and the neighbouring states in a visual spectacle of traditional theatre, songs, music, dance, epic narratives and acrobatics.
In celebration of the survival and struggle of these languages of India, the Adivasi Academy has created on its campus, a special area designated to be known as Bhasha Van.
Bhasha Van, a walkway lined with trees, is equipped with specially prepared audio tour that helps visitors journey through this one of a kind experience. The audio tour allows visitors to engage with India’s linguistic diversity through audible language samples in the form of songs, poems, folktales, sayings and jokes drawn from different languages of India.
‘Bhasha’ thus combines research with social interventions and grassroots activities with policy making.

I have a lot more than three favorites, but will go with a classic, Pride and Prejudice, a childhood favorite, The Witch of Blackbird Pond, and a recent favorite, The Book Thief.
And of course, Harry Potter -- getting to read that series again to my children has been such a joy.
I look for someone who is talented, committed to his or her career, willing to take criticism, and a pleasure to work with.
I represent authors of literary and commercial fiction, young adult fiction, and select nonfiction.
With respect to fiction: I am drawn to fresh voices, compelling characters, and crisp prose. For nonfiction: I am interested in memoirists with exceptional stories to tell, as well as authors with a strong platform in current affairs, history, education, or law.
I still have a difficult time saying “no” sometimes, especially if it is a good project but just not right for me.
It has been said before, but one piece of advice I like to give to authors is: READ!! Read books in your genre to help you gain an understanding of your target audience. And then read books outside your genre to expand your worldview and keep your writing fresh.
I would like to see all of the authors that I work with more often. We all get so busy working remotely these days; time to connect over lunch would be lovely.

So, in a sense, the end of the darkness is the the beginning of a new light. Or the birth of the light is the end of darkness; a clear connection here.
This is a throw back to creation stories.
The end of chaos, “wild and waste”, meant the beginning of beauty, life, creation, harmony, thriving.
Liberation from Egypt, the beginning of the exodus meant the end of slavery and oppression.
For the prophets, the end of injustice, greed and deceit would mean the beginning of a peaceful kingdom.
Maybe why we resonate so deeply with the biblical narrative and religious traditions because we relate to stories told and formed by transition, by endings and beginnings, by the marking of time and the passage of days and seasons.
End of the old, beginning of the new.
Again, endings and beginning, seamlessly intertwined.
Even the way the bible wraps up with all the symbol and drama of the book of revelation, the final scene is not final - The end, it is complete, all is perfect and accomplished. The actors come out and take a bow. The curtains close. The screen fades to black. No, no.
The ending is actually just another beginning. In fact the way John identifies God in the book of revelation is as the “alpha and omega”, the beginning and the end. Apparently God exists as this tension, or maybe this perpetual cycle, always ending and beginning. Maybe we could say, The energy that is always terminating into itself and into new beginnings.
So as we think about the new year, a new beginning, endings, beginnings, our stories, last years and new years, let’s take some time for some introspection and reflect on how the endings and beginnings help us to see the year that is passing and one to come. This season is coming to a close and all it represents. And another is just now a bud before the blossom.
This is for you, there’s no agenda or right answer. We’re simply going to self-examine, process and see what happens. This way we can leave 2014 and enter 2015 with our eyes wide open. The hope is we might become full of gratitude, awareness, mindful self perception, and excitement for what is to come.
What was hurtful, harmful, destructive in your life or the lives of those you love?
What needs to come to and end as we move into a new year?
What was painful but formative?
The kind of thing you’d never ever want to repeat, but if you’re honest it made a significant impact on who you are, or are becoming?
How can you let that go, release that, celebrate that its over, but totally aware of the way it made a positive formative impact on your life?
Are there people you’ve hurt from whom you need to ask forgiveness?
There’s no action step here yet, just make note. See what happens just by becoming aware of this.
Are there people you need to forgive?
Maybe you don’t want to, or even want to want to. That’s fine. Maybe you can move toward wanting to want to want to.
Where in your life do you need to stop pretending?
What is being propped up on a lie, on your deception, on pretense and puffery and it’s time to just stop? What needs to be done and it’s time to admit it? First to yourself.
Anything else that needs closure?
Anything else that is going to be an anchor to which your future is tethered and you need to let it go?
What encouraged, allowed or empowered you to love people more, to love them better?
What inspired your sense of connectedness to God, your ability to touch the sacred, to feel more grounded, more deeply spiritual, peaceful, kind or gracious?
What needs to be carried forward into the new year? Renewed and continued, maybe even expanded?
How could you create space to do more of that?
What do you need to start? What needs a beginning?
For what do you need to set aside energy, intention, mindful ambition?
What words need to be spoken to begin to create this for yourself?
What felt empty, and what was lacking that made it feel empty?
Are there things from your past that need to be rekindled?
Passions that could be cultivated and resourced to bring you a fuller sense of vitality and connection to yourself and others?
If you could speak something new into existence in your new year, how would you complete this sentence?

Satellites can be fitted with a variety of technologies to make it easier to measure certain metrics that researchers are interested in. The European Space Agency has used satellite radar data collected from their satellites to measure how much wood is in the world’s forests globally. This project, labelled the GlobBiomass project, is important for gathering data about the Earth’s carbon cycle and how it can affect climate change.
Our forests influence so much of the world around us. Forests are carbon sinks, which means they take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is stored and absorbed. However, when forests are destroyed by logging or by fires, some of this carbon is released back into the environment.
Although scientists understand much about Earth’s carbon cycle, there is still much to be learned. By quantifying how much wood is in the forests on Earth, scientists can begin to estimate how much carbon is being absorbed and released by the trees. Using data from satellites, researchers are estimating the growing stock volume of the world’s forests. This is a metric that describes how many cubic meters of wood are approximated per hectare, and can be used to determine above-ground carbon levels.
The growing stock volume can be used for climate modelling, in addition to finding the commercial value of certain areas of forested land. Theoretically, the denser the forest is, the more carbon there is to be absorbed and stored. These areas could release more carbon back into the atmosphere if cut down or destroyed. This carbon cycle is essential to the health of the Earth, and disruptions to this cycle could influence changes in the climate.
The European Space Agency’s GlobBiomass project presented its first global map of the global stock volume data to the Final User Consultation meeting, held in Rome at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization headquarters. The map used radar and optical data from satellites to allow researchers around the world to collaborate with creating algorithms to determine carbon climate change.

This is the first time radar and optical data from satellites have been used together to create a map that can be used on a regional and a global level. There was also a presentation of data regarding change indicators in five locations around the world that showed how forests have changed in recent years.
The goals of the GlobBiomass project are to release the global forest data to the public in 2018. Ultimately, researchers hope to be able to use data collected year after year to study the effects of forests on climate change in the longer term. Studying the forests will allow researchers to know not only how our forests are changing, but how the carbon cycle affects other parts of the Earth as well.

Rahul Gandhi today flayed the ideology of the RSS saying organisation like it try to "divide" India.
Rahul Gandhi, who is here in connection with a case filed by an RSS functionary, today flayed the ideology of the RSS saying organisation like it try to “divide” India and said he is not deterred by such cases.
“I am for unity of the country and love and affection among the people of this country,” Gandhi said, flanked by former Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi and a huge number of Congress supporters.
“These people (RSS) want that I don’t fight for the farmers, but I can’t do that. It is in my DNA, it is inside me. I am not scared. I will not be deterred. I am happy… let them put as many cases against me as they want,” he said.
The Congress leader said he stood for the unity of the country and was against the ideology of RSS and all such other organisations “which try to divide India and are harmful for the country”.
Gandhi claimed such cases are filed against him to disturb his ongoing UP Yatra.
“Such cases are filed against me to stop me from working for the rights of poor farmers, weaker section of society, labourers and unemployed youths. In UP my yatra is on…. such cases are to disturb it,” Gandhi told reporters after coming out of the CJM Court.
Howsoever many cases are filed against me, that much more I will go ahead and fight to help the poor farmers, weaker section of society, labourers and unemployed youths. My purpose is to help them,” Gandhi said.
Accusing the government of working for the betterment of only 10-15 people, Gandhi said “acche din (good days) have come only for those people while farmers, labourers and the unemployed are sad”.

What would you do if you or a loved needed long-term care? Would you be prepared to pay for it? Although most people will need long-term care within their lifetime, most adults do not plan ahead for it. That leaves family members and seniors scrambling for funds to afford care. You can avoid that stress by using these pieces of advice to plan ahead for long-term care.
One way that you can better prepare for long-term care is to prepare your home to age in place. You will need to make sure all rooms and spaces are fully accessible, especially if you anticipate reduced mobility. Walkers and wheelchairs can make maneuvering through your home a bit trickier, so if you can, have doorways widened.
Undoubtedly, your accessibility upgrades will include some products to make it safer and more secure as well. Consumers Advocate provides detailed information about home-upgrade solutions, such as walk-in showers, chair lifts, and medical alert devices, that can keep seniors protected as they age in place in their own homes.
Plus, making these changes now will make it less likely that you will suffer a serious fall in the future. Injuries from falls can be debilitating for older adults and can bring about the need for long-term care, so taking proper precautions is prudent. Install grab bars in the bathroom and slip-resistant flooring to maintain your independence.
Like many seniors, you may be planning on relying on Medicare for your health needs. But Medicare will not help with the costs of long-term care in the majority of cases. The most Medicare may pay for is 20 days at a skilled nursing facility. Since most long-term needs extend beyond this narrow window, your best bet is to be prepared to cover those long-term care expenses.
Home health assistants are the most economical long-term care option, but if you or a loved one needs to be in a nursing home, that bill can run upward of $100K per year. That’s a huge expense for seniors and family members to budget for on the fly, which is why it is important to plan ahead for other long-term care solutions. Some people do end up paying out of pocket, from either their savings or retirement funds, but you can also find help paying for that essential care. Veterans can get assistance from the VA, and you may even be able to lock in some affordable rates for long-term care insurance, if you purchase your plan early enough.
If you can take steps to prepare your home for long-term care needs, then you can also prepare yourself. Making healthier lifestyle choices is your best defense against needing extensive care in the first place, so make an effort to take better care of your health. Again, fall prevention is critical, and you can take steps to strengthen your body against potential injuries. Exercise is a definite health necessity, and getting more of it can build more stable muscles and joints that can keep you upright.
You can also add supplements to your diet to boost your physical health, or try adding healthier foods to keep your body and brain strong. Fish is high on that list, but you can also get benefits from eating more blueberries and nuts and possibly from drinking coffee as well. Finally, top off those healthy new habits by refining your sleep hygiene. Sleep is central to your cognitive health and immune system, so getting more of it can help you retain more control over your life.
Many seniors forget to think about their need for long-term care until it’s too late. You can avoid that added stress for yourself and loved ones by planning ahead to preserve your health, prepare your home, and prime your finances for the high costs of long-term care.

Navjot Sodhi, one the of the authors of this paper, just sent me this link – it is an early view of the pdf which will eventually be free access: Sutherland et al., 2009. One hundred questions of importance to the conservation of global biological diversity. Conservation Biology.
Abstract – We identified 100 scientific questions that, if answered, would have the greatest impact on conservation practice and policy. Representatives from 21 international organizations, regional sections and working groups of the Society for Conservation Biology, and 12 academics, from all continents except Antarctica, compiled 2291 questions of relevance to conservation of biological diversity worldwide. The questions were gathered from 761 individuals through workshops, email requests, and discussions. Voting by email to short-list questions, followed by a 2-day workshop, was used to derive the final list of 100 questions. Most of the final questions were derived through a process of modification and combination as the workshop progressed. The questions are divided into 12 sections: ecosystem functions and services, climate change, technological change, protected areas, ecosystem management and restoration, terrestrial ecosystems, marine ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems, species management, organizational systems and processes, societal context and change, and impacts of conservation interventions. We anticipate that these questions will help identify new directions for researchers and assist funders in directing funds.
Rudolf Meier has just been awarded Annual Teaching Excellence Awards 2007/2008 – see the CDTL page for the university list. Congrats Rudolf!
Ed Yong of “Not Exactly Rocket Science” features Laura’s (Spider Lab) recently published thesis work in an article entitled, “Singaporean spiders spit venomous glue, work together, eat each other” (24 Apr 2009).
“In the forests of Singapore lives a spider that must be an arachnophobe’s worst nightmare. Most species are solitary hunters subdue their prey with venomous fangs, sticky silken webs or a combination of the two. But Scytodes uses a third trick – it spits a sticky, venomous fluid from its fangs that both traps its victims and poisons them (see video of related species). And it does this in packs – after hatching, spiderlings spend their early lives on their home web and they spit at, bite and devour prey en masse.
Thanks to Ria Tan for the alert!
The marine research and education community have released a Draft Blue Plan to invite feedback from the public before submission to the government in a month’s time.
Finally, a second year biodiversity module!
This has been in the works for some time and we finally received the wonderful news – The Board of Undergraduate Studies has approved two modules that were recently submitted.
So we FINALLY have a second year biodiversity module in the form of “LSM2251 Ecology and Environment”.
The second module that was also approved is “LSM4264 Freshwater Biology”.
To the biodiversity students of past years who were unable to take such modules, I can only say we sympathise with you. Some of you were involved in feedback to the university at various levels that helped set this up so thank you for your efforts for your juniors!
“Abstract – Southeast Asia is a region of conservation concern due to heavy losses of its native habitats. In this overview, we highlight the conservation importance of Southeast Asia by comparing its degree of species endemism and endangerment, and its rate of deforestation with other tropical regions (i.e., Meso-America, South America, and Sub-Saharan Africa). Southeast Asia contains the highest mean proportion of country-endemic bird (9%) and mammal species (11%).
“Tropical East Asia (TEA) has numerous islands, both continental and oceanic. This study uses information on invasive aliens in terrestrial habitats on these islands to test the generality of the continental-oceanic contrast in invasibility, assess the conservation impacts of invasive species, and suggest ways to mitigate these. The continental islands of Hong Kong and Singapore are worst-case scenarios for continental invasibility and alien species often dominate in chronically disturbed sites, but very few have successfully invaded closed forests, with the exception of birds in Hong Kong. On other, less densely populated, continental islands, closed-canopy forests appear to resist invasions by all taxa, with few known exceptions.

We’ve had a pretty busy past few weeks/weekends and are trying to soak in as much fall fun as possible. Have I mentioned how much I love this season?? The cooler mornings and evenings and the warm sunny afternoons, the vibrant colors and the fall decorations, the hearty meals that fill your belly and your house with warmth and happiness, and of course…the Holidays!
Though I’ve never really been a huge Halloween fan, I still enjoy getting ready for it, and now that G is a little bit older, I think it will be that much more fun! Plus, Halloween just means that Thanksgiving is that much closer! I always feel that every year I have more to be Thankful for than the last, and this year has already promised to continue that trend…I am already 30 weeks pregnant!! What???? How did I get here so quickly! I’m super excited to meet our newest family member but as I’ve mentioned before, I am doing everything I can to enjoy my one Little Man as much as possible…..which brings me back to my topic. Fall Festivities!
Loving on the little goats!
Yes the animals actually come right up to your wagon (or in our case the car) and you can feed them!
I made the mistake of feeding the zebra, and he bit down on my entire cup of feed and I couldn’t get it back…oops!
And finally our somewhat successful visit to the Pumpkin Patch to pick out our pumpkins (check!) and get some family pictures (no check) the good part…I got a few shots of of G….the not so good part…..he was over the pumpkin patch before we could get a family picture 😦 so we may have to try again. On a side note….it’s crazy how much changes in a year!
Just over 3 months old in early October 2011…so small!
Now almost 16 months old, mid-end of October 2012!
So, we’ve been busy, taking advantage of all the great things that our town and the surrounding areas have to offer, and we’re looking forward to enjoying the rest of the beautiful fall season!
Have you done any fun festivities yet this fall??

Among the very best methods to tell a tale together with your digital camera is to merely strike the streets of the active metropolis or marketplace location. Right here, you’ll be offered with numerous opportunities for great compositions. It can be fairly a daunting task although, however you can overcome this, and the much more you need to do it, the better you will become at it, and it will improve your confidence significantly. So, get the Nikon battery on its EN-EL9 charger and prepare your self for some street pictures.
If you are anxious, then take somebody with you. However, in the event you go alone, you will be observed even much less and blend into the background. Most people will not even spend you any attention. But for your initial couple of outings, consider a pal or relative with you to assist sooth those nerves. If you will find buskers, perhaps concentrate your efforts right here first because they are prepared to be photographed and checked out.
Be respectful. Although in most societies, taking photos of individuals in public places isn’t unlawful, if anybody does come as much as you and complains, then the very best thing to complete would be to just back off and not consider pictures of this person. Also, you cannot promote any of one’s pictures or offer them up for stock pictures with out authorization from the individuals within the pictures. So consider some disclosure forms with you if you do occur to obtain a fantastic shot you want to do much more with.
When you’ve got taken a shot, sometimes it’s great to interact with your subjects. Display them the image on your screen, even perhaps offer to send them the photo by way of email. Give them your company card when you have one, and get them to email you for it. Like that you could even drum up some business.
Stroll. Stroll a lot. Start out in the city center exactly where there are lots of individuals, this will current you having a large amount of opportunities and compositions. It’ll also assist maintain you invisible, in addition to increasing your confidence. Then walk around, appear for more topics, look for additional locations and angles that perhaps have not been regarded as prior to.
There is no wrong or right concerning this type of photography, so just go out and relax and have enjoyable. The greater you take, the better your chances of getting some fantastic pictures to edit. Also, it’s your option between black and white and colour, but bear in mind, black an white can offer a more timeless picture, providing a great deal of temper or drama.
Just like most other photography, consider your perspective. Do not just shoot from head height, get down reduced, rise up higher and appear for different angles and sides of one’s subjects. Street photography can bring out quite a lot of creativity from you.
But obviously, prior to grabbing your Nikon DSLR, always ensure that your battery and spare are both fully billed on their own EN-EL9 charger. That way you’re ready and able to capture the planet.

Will Longyearbyen get the northernmost brewery in the world?
Home → * News and Stories → Will Longyearbyen get the northernmost brewery in the world?
On Svalbard, sale and production of alcoholic drinks are currently regulated more strictly than in mainland Norway. Apart from bars and restaurants, alcoholic drinks are only sold by the governmental monopolist “Nordpolet” in Svalbardbutikken in Longyearbyen and there the allowance is limited for everyone. Locals have a card and tourists use their flight ticket to document purchases. Production of alcoholic drinks is completely prohibited, both for commercial purposes and for private consumption.
These regulations are now under reconsideration and it seems they might soon be history. It is four years ago that Robert Johansen contacted the Norwegian Health Department to apply for the concession for a brewery in Longyearbyen. This was not possible under given legislation, but for once, authorities were welling (after all, it was about beer!) so this turned out to start the process for a legislative amendment.
Currently the Norwegian authorities decide on the suspension of the regulations, which date partly back as far as 1929. The Departments of Health and Agriculture did already signal that a change of regulations is welcome and that no reasons are seen against it. If the legislative amendment comes, the production of alcoholic drinks will be made possible as a start. Later the quantitative limitation for the sale of alcohol may be abolished.
If everything proceeds as expected, Robert Johansen wants to offer beer “made in Longyearbyen” as soon as summer 2014. His brewery will be called Svalbard Bryggeri AS and will start with a production of ca. 100.000 liters per year. Sale of related souvenirs is also planned. There are reactions on the expected amendment in Barentsburg as well. There the Russian mining company Trust Arktikugol already applied for the concession for a brewery – which already exists since 2013 as part of the mining company.
When the brewing in Longyearbyen really starts, Svalbard Bryggeri will be the northernmost brewery in the world. Currently Mack Brewery in Tromsø claims this title and it might keep it officially as with an annual production of 100.000 liters Svalbard Bryggeri would be a microbrewery according to Norwegian law. This term describes small breweries with an annual production lower than 600.000 liters. Several mcrobreweries are currently planned in Norway, north of Tromsø, for example in Hammerfest and in the municipality of Gamvik.
The Mack Brewery faces the arising competition positively but as a big brewery it classifies itself in another category. Some years ago for financial reasons the Mack Brewery moved its beer production to Nordkjosbotn wich is located south of Tromsø. Mack nevertheless claims the title “the world´s northernmost brewery” because the company´s headquarter is still in Tromsø.

Fixing heavy items onto plasterboard cavity walls has always been difficult.
Whether you’re a building trade professional or a keen DIYer, you’ll know that the plasterboard fixings available up until now all had serious limitations. Some of them are tricky to fix, some are prone to fail, and most just aren’t reliable enough for heavy objects. There’s never been a single fixing that can reliably fix items such as radiators, towel rails, curtain poles, cycle racks, cupboards and TV brackets onto cavity plasterboard walls. Now there is.
GeeFix has been designed by a tradesman with over 30 years experience. After trying all the cavity fixings on the market – and finding their weaknesses – he decided that the only way to get the ultimate cavity wall fixing was to invent it himself! GeeFix is the strongest fixing on the market, and the only one that’s compatible with plasterboard, insulated plasterboard, plywood, chipboard, MDF, metal, lath & plaster and other materials. With GeeFix you can fix it once and fix it right.
This unique product is only available direct from GeeFix.
