The Bedworth Leisure Centre is hiding a secret inside: their epic 81m flume style water slide!

The teaching pool is also on hand for helping the little ones to develop enough to use the slide, which is a heck of an incentive! Plus ASA accredited Swim School lessons, Aqua Natal Class and Aqua Aerobics sessions are held in here too!

Teaching Children to be Grateful for Small and Big Things and Say "Thank You"

Thank you
Teaching Children to be Grateful for Small and Big Things and Say "Thank You"
on December, 30 2013

In this day and age when most things are done electronically, the simplest polite gesture as saying thank you is sometimes forgotten. Children seem to think that the phrase is passé. Parents, leading busy lives juggling work and home, oftentimes leave it to the school teachers to teach their children the basic courtesies. To be grateful for everything, and saying thanks give children huge benefits, from having better outlook in life to better performance in school to less depression.

Beginning at home

In a modern San Francisco home the Branstens were having dinner and every night it was their normal practice to give thanks before they eat. Each member of the family recite why he or she is thankful – for things, for food, for people. Even friends that come over for dinner join in their nightly ritual. Peter Bransten, a lawyer and his wife, Leela who is with an education non-profit organization couldn't be happier, for this is exactly the reason why they are doing the ritual – for their children to be grateful.

Parents need to realize that they have become less grateful. Therefore, to raise the awareness level and for their kids to be able to express gratefulness, parents should be the models of gratefulness themselves.

Positive results of studies

A preview of a study that will be published in School Psychology Review in 2014 revealed that a group of 122 children were taught the concepts of giving and gratitude for a week. Their thankfulness was heightened, with 25% of the students in the study group choosing to write thank you notes and 44% of them wrote notes to say thanks after they were given the option following a presentation during a PTA meeting.

In another study of over 1,000 high school students living in the outskirts of New York City, which was published in the Journal of Happiness Study in 2010, students with high gratitude levels displayed more positive outlook, were less depressed and envious and had higher GPAs. This was the exact opposite of those students in the study group that associated happiness and success with owning and buying things.

Materialism is a culprit

Internet shopping makes it very easy for people to acquire material things. The value of owning something today is almost fleeting, because there is no longer any hardship involved before you can buy something. In the past, children learned to save to buy a toy they like. They had to do chores before their parents would consent to buying a new pair of shoes that's in vogue.

In a Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin study done in 2013 among more than 300,000 high school seniors, results revealed that from 1976 to 2007, the desire for more money increased in the mid-1970s while there was a significant decrease in the respondents' willingness to work hard to earn money. The importance placed on money and owning nice things significantly increased between 2005 and 2007.

Giving thanks should not be done only during the holidays. It should be done every day. The best way to do this is to start right now, by saying, "I'm grateful. Thank you."

Press Item ● Foreign Affairsfacebooktwitterbirdemail
For Immediate Release:
May 17, 2004
Contact Info:

House Majority Leader DeLay and Minority Whip Hoyer addressed the American Israel Public Affairs Committee today, reaffirming the U.S. commitment to a secure Israeli state and to a united force in the war on terror.

"Ours is a relationship of principle and conscience, of shared values and common aspirations, of peace and opportunity, and of a mutual commitment to freedom and
democracy," said Hoyer, who defended Israel's decision to construct a security fence along its border, and said a secure Israel is an "absolute precondition for peace" in the Middle East.

Hoyer and DeLay condemned the actions of Palestinian Authority leader Yasser Arafat and his followers, who Hoyer called "depraved and corrupt," while DeLay lauded President Bush for isolating Arafat "as the terrorist he is."

Hoyer and DeLay said Congress has and will continue to work in a bipartisan manner on issues regarding Israeli security and peace in the Middle East, noting the recent passage of a resolution condemning Iran for its nuclear weapons activities, as well as passage of the Syria Accountability Act, which involved economic sanctions against Syria for terrorist activity.

Denver Family Fun In Any Weather

With the warm Colorado sun shining down and longer days to enjoy, it feels as if it is already springtime in Denver. But wait, that was five minutes ago and now it’s snowing!
As we like to say in the Mile High City, if you don’t like the weather, just wait a few minutes and it will change. This meteorological quirk can mess up your plans with the family though.
Here are a few ideas for places to visit with the kids that offer both indoor and outdoor playscapes so that you can duck inside when necessary or just enjoy the great outdoors. All of these places are included in my Moon Handbooks Guide to Denver (Avalon Travel, 2009) and my Walking Denver book (Wilderness Press, 2011).
  1. The Denver Botanic Gardens has relocated and expanded their children’s garden to the top of the new parking lot. That sounds unappealing, and I was among the skeptics, but in fact it is an improvement. Kids can scramble over bridges, past streams, through tunnels, all while smelling the flowers and learning about the environment. Rainy day? No problem because you can go inside the conservatory in the main garden and still do many of those things indoors. Don’t miss the enormous beeswax artwork!
  1. The Denver Zoo is at its busiest during the warm summer months since the majority of the animals on display are in outdoor enclosures. But you could go on the coldest day of the year and break a sweat inside their aquarium where they have not only fish, but bats and Komodo dragons.
  1. The Children’s Museum is popular throughout the year for all of their wonderful indoor activities—pretend grocery shopping seems to be the perennial favorite here. However, if it’s a beautiful day, budget for time to run around their large playground with cool rock sculptures for climbing, slides, and monkey bars. Many of their annual festivals are held outdoors too on their plaza, where kids can draw on the chalkboard cow yearround or pet live animals during other exhibits.
  1. The Rocky Mountain Arsenal national Wildlife Refuge offers bus tours where you might see bison, deer, eagles, and all kinds of wild animals wandering about. Since you are sitting on a bus, it doesn’t matter what the weather is doing outside.
  1. The Denver Museum of Nature and Science could take up an entire day and you would still have things to do and see leftover. But if the weather is just to warm to resist, head outside to one of City Park’s two playgrounds west of the museum.

Charity begins at home: How to help people affected by the Colorado Wildfires

When I started this series, I never foresaw a disaster right here in Colorado, but we’re now in the middle of some of the worst wildfires and Governor John Hickenlooper has declared that “This is the worst fire season in the history

Fire over the Flatirons in Boulder

of Colorado,”.

The two best ways to help your Colorado neighbors is to donate money to the American Red Cross (the Colorado Chapters website is here) and further you can monitor this site – is a partnership CDEM) and Colorado Voluntary Organization Active in Disaster (COVOAD). This initiative brings together government agencies and non-profit organizations so they may better assist communities affected by disasters.

Here’s another article that includes links on how to help the HUGE quantity of brave firefighters fighting thes terrible fires: How To Help The Fire Victims, Firefighters.

SALT LAKE CITY — The next time DeMarcus Cousins picks on somebody his own size will be the first time.

At least that's the way Earl Watson sees it.

Simply put, the Jazz guard has been less than impressed about how the Kings' 6-foot-11, 270-pounder has made a recent habit of bumping into the Jazz's 6-2, 192-pound Devin Harris.

That has happened multiple times the last two times Utah and Sacramento squared off.

On Thursday, Harris, an offseason Dallas resident, responded by giving Cousins a face-to-chest don't-mess-with-this-Texan stare.

"I've never seen (Cousins) do that with a guy his size. Have you?" Watson said. "That says a lot."

Watson also called Cousins' comments about Harris "comical." On Thursday, Cousins told reporters, "Honestly, I'm tired of the kid."

For the record, the second-year Cousins is 21 years old. Harris recently turned 29.

"I'm tired of him," Cousins continued. "I don't know what his issue is, but I can definitely solve it."

That last part especially cracked Watson up.

"I didn't see him hit (Derrick) Favors. I didn't see him hit (Enes) Kanter," Watson said. "But every time he plays Devin, he wants to bump Devin. I mean, wow. Unbelievable, unbelievable. I don't what to say. I'm speechless."

Harris didn't have much to say about it, either.

"I'm too mature for all that," the eight-year NBA veteran said. "I've got to focus on Denver."

Harris isn't sure why Cousins has bumped into him a few times.

"It started last game," Harris said, referring to Utah's Feb. 28 visit to Sacramento when Cousins received a technical foul after bumping into the Jazz guard on an inbounds pass.

Cousins told the Sacramento Bee that he warned officials before tipoff to pay attention to Harris, whom he claimed tended to mix it up with him.

When Cousins brushed Harris while chasing a ball out of bounds, the Jazz veteran wasn't about to back down.

"I wasn't trying to send a message," he said. "I'm not going to let anybody intimidate me. It's counterproductive."

Watson wouldn't mind if he's the next little guy Cousins tries to bump around.

"I hope I am," the 6-1, 199-pounder said. "You can quote that."

Watson said he learned from his old coach in Memphis, Hubie Brown, that players should have their teammates' backs.

Watson then returned his attention to Cousins: "We're in a playoff hunt. I'm not sure what his purpose is, but I know what our team's purpose is."

By the way, Cousins and the Kings visit EnergySolutions Arena on Friday.

Rest assured, referees will be watching more than just Harris in that one.

PUT ME IN COACH: Watson is getting antsy to play again. He hasn't seen the court during a game since spraining his ankle during the second quarter against Phoenix a week-and-a-half ago.

"I'm ready to play," Watson said.

The Jazz, however, are content to allow his still-healing ankle to get 100 percent, according to Corbin.

"He thinks he can go," the Jazz coach said. "We can afford now to be a little more careful with him and not let him get reinjured and be out for an extended amount of time."

And, yes, Corbin admitted that's because of the way Jamaal Tinsley has played in Watson's absence.

Still, Watson, who energized the second unit this season before his injury, believes he's healthy enough to play.

Asked if he thinks the Jazz don't believe him when he tells them he's ready, Watson responded: "I don't know. Disappointing. Beyond disappointing."

NO BELL: Raja Bell missed his 14th game this season Friday. According to the team, he didn't play in this one because of his strained left adductor.

However, the 35-year-old said he feels "great" and could play.

"I'm OK, man," Bell said when asked if that's frustrating. "There comes a point in your career where you realize that ultimately you don't control most of this, so I try to stay ready, put in your road work, shoot your jumpers. If a chance comes, then you're ready for it. Until then, that's all you can do."

Bell referred questions about why he isn't dressing to the Jazz. Corbin has said the staff wants Bell to get completely healthy before returning.

Old Time Drugstores

Pharmacists in the Desert

Joe Zentner

Because health has always been a primary concern to people, it is not surprising that the profession of pharmacy – the preparation and dispensing of therapeutic agents – is mentioned in early records of civilization.  Around 2000 BC, for example, pharmaceutical information inscribed on long scrolls and clay tablets was inspected by the peoples of Egypt and Babylon.

Mortar and pestle

We know from these sources that the “pharmacists” of those ancient times used many common materials – for example, minerals, oils, seeds, herbs, leaves and roots – as “medicines.”  A few of those ancient remedies have survived the test of time.

In the 1730’s, nearly half a century before the Constitution of the United States was framed, Dr. John Frederick Otto and Dr. John Adolph Meyer established “Die Apotheke” in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.  It was America’s first drugstore.

In 1764, then–patriot Benedict Arnold operated an apothecary shop in New Haven, Connecticut.  Today, in the building that houses the New Haven Colony Historical Society, there is a large black sign that bears the inscription:

Beneath the sign there is a mortar and pestle as well as a medicine chest from “Arnold’s Apothecary Shop.”

Another early pharmacy was the Poulnot Drug Store, located on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina.  It was established in 1781 with Dr. Andrew Turnbull dispensing various remedies.  The shop’s name was changed to Apothecaries Hall after Dr. Jacob De La Motta purchased it in 1816.  Still later, a golden mortar sign was placed over the entrance that carried the inscription The Big Gilt Mortar.

Before legislation was enacted to regulate druggists, many enterprising individuals combined a pharmacy practice with other trades.  These included surgeons, ministers, schoolmasters, lawyers, butchers, millers and even poets.  In a botanical garden enclosed behind the shop were grown the herbs, roots and other medicinal plants from which drug remedies were compounded.  In a typical garden grew jimsonweed (from the archaic Jamestown weed—named for Jamestown, Virginia), prickly ash, red oak, deer tongue, lavender, ginger, thyme, berries, and many other herbs and plants.

Today, visitors to several drugstore museums in the southwestern United States can take a trip back into medical history, to a time when druggists dispensed leeches to patients as a means of allegedly drawing out sickness through “blood letting.”  (Adolf Hitler was fond of leeches.)  Inside these museums, a bit of medical history is re-created in early apothecary shops.

Typically, the museums exhibit the tools, medicines and furnishings of a typical desert drugstore when the profession was in its infancy.  Mostly there are medicines—row upon row of glass jars labeled with tongue-twisting names.  They contain ingredients that the pharmacist mixed as well as bottles of manufactured “remedies,” containing concoctions of questionable therapeutic value, though alcohol was a universal ingredient.  (At age 22, while teaching college in Louisiana, I met Dudley LeBlanc, “father” of a legendary early 20th century proprietary medicine called “Hadacol,” which had an alcohol content of 35 percent, or seven times that of a typical beer.)

Glass carboys were filled with colored liquids for display.

One “remedy,” labeled “Neoferrum,” was used to treat anemia due to iron deficiency.  It was billed as “an appetizing hematinic [acting to improve the blood] tonic,” whatever that means.  Neoferrum was undoubtedly appetizing, in that one of the primary ingredients listed on the label was sherry wine.

Also on display in some drugstore museums is Ferri-Tone, which claimed to cure “indigestion, loss of manhood, general debility and depraved conditions of the system.”  Another “medicine” of the late 19th century, which can be seen in some pharmaceutical museums, was prescribed to heal “diseases of indiscretion in young men.”  Some of the “miracle” cures specialized in “female problems.”  Others were equally good “for man or beast.”

Early desert drugstores did much of their business in proprietary “medicinals,” many with untaxed 10 to 50 percent alcohol content.  Indeed, most patent medicines were composed primarily of alcohol and a few harmless ingredients.  Doctor Ezekiel’s Heart Treatment, for example, contained alcohol and tomato paste.

Few if any such “medicines” could live up to the extravagant claims that their manufacturers made, and many disappeared from the scene after 1906, when newly-enacted federal government regulations required that the word “cure” be removed from the labels of unproven formulas.

A scale used by pharmacists.

The 19th century pharmacist also provided legitimate natural products, including herbs, roots and willow tree bark (from which aspirin is derived); a number of these are displayed in pharmacy museums.  You can, for example, view digitalis, made from the dried leaves of the foxglove plant, which was and still is used to treat coronary disease.

In addition to an extensive collection of original patent medicines, pharmacy museums in the southwest also display an ominous array of medical paraphernalia, including “scarificators,” “tonsil guillotines” and an ordinary corkscrew.

A “scarificator” was a tool physicians used to relieve patients of “bad blood,” that is, blood which supposedly contained impurities.  With one flick of the wrist, 12 sharp blades emerged to inflict wounds on a compliant (although likely terrified) patient.

The tonsil guillotine features a long-handled cup, on which tonsils were somehow situated.  A blade was then released, guillotine-style, to sever infected tissue from the back of the throat.  It is difficult to imagine what that must have felt like.

The corkscrew was used to bore into the brain to relieve pressure.  The idea may have been borrowed from an early southwestern Apache instrument used for this purpose.

To the student of medical and pharmaceutical history, old apothecary shops hold an enduring interest; laypersons also find them fascinating.  Visitors come away delighted and sometimes awed by what they have seen.  Most are grateful for centuries of therapeutic progress.  But one has to ask: “Has there really been that much progress made in what people are likely to swallow, metaphorically, if not physically, when their health is, supposedly, at stake?”

Apothecary jars line a cherry cabinet in a desert museum.

A cursory review of the drugs being hawked relentlessly on television today for this or that affliction causes some people to wonder if Americans are not today, as in times past, addicted to pills and potions and devices that may not really solve the age-old problems of human existence.

BASE flagship store by Creneau International

Belgian designers Creneau International have completed the interior of a store at Antwerp Central station for Belgian mobile phone providers BASE.

The designers installed free-standing furniture and display stands on wheels, alongside seating and counters made up of large letters that spell out the BASE brand name.

The following text is from the designers:

BASE, flagship store by Creneau Internationa
l
Location: Antwerp, Belgium

The central station of Antwerp is the location where we find the BASE Flagship Store. The building is a classified monument with an enormous history. It makes a very solid impression…

On the other hand, the BASE brand values are: user-friendliness, clarity, transparency and emotion. To merge these two strong identities in one location, the designers of Creneau International played with contrasts; the massive historical building with its heavy materials against the light, fresh and clear elements of the BASE-brand.

The BASE brand identities lead us to creating a concept that refers to a greenhouse: a place where costumers find themselves in a high-tech environment with a very simple and low-tech feel but always transparent and clear. An environment that breathes ‘BASE’ in every way possible.

With respect to the monumental building, Creneau International treated the whole shop as a ‘box in a box’. All integrated elements are standing free of the walls. In this way, the ancient building becomes a historical backdrop, a decor in which BASE is our leading player.

About Creneau International

Creneau International is a Belgian concept and design consultancy and has more than 20 years of experience in realizing highly reputable projects worldwide. With offices in Hasselt and Dubai, representation in Sydney, Prague and Kiev and a production plant in Jakarta, CI is exploring its boundaries every day.

That’s the corporate side, but what does it mean? Their house logo featuring two winged monkeys and the baseline ‘Hac itur ad astra’, gives a pretty good idea: CI makes you reach for the stars.

Through their design concepts, including interior design and brand image to graphic creations, their ‘ideas of the anti-ordinary’ are stamped on the imagination of global visual communication below the line.

Modeling the intangible and transforming the tangible, that’s their working domain. As atmosphere architects they thrust their way into your environment and transform your brand values and company’s mission statement, into a total design concept.

My Diva Touch of Irish — 10 Comments

  1. I love the pops of green on the black background. Thanks for also sharing the link to the original red pop of color on white. I’m impressed that you were able to play around with it on the computer to produce your response to the Diva challenge. One of my New Year’s resolutions is to increase my computer competence.

  2. So sorry you have been having issues with you site. I would be beside myself! It was good to see both versions of this with different colors. Green is not my favorite color, but it works for this challenge!

Price comparison from , and manufacturers

The latest addition to Nikon's expansive DSLR line, the 16Mp Nikon D5100, fits neatly between the entry-level D3100 (£445) and the more sophisticated D7000 (£999).

An update to the 12Mp Nikon D5000, this new £658 model offers some features that may entice current D5000 owners to upgrade, including full 1080p HD video, a bigger and better articulating LCD screen, larger burst mode capacity, expanded ISO, full-time autofocus in video and Live View, and special effects for still and video capture.

Basic features

As expected, the D5100 employs manual, semi-manual, and auto exposure modes, along with 16 scene modes. Nikon's Picture Control, presets for Landscape, Monochrome, Neutral, Portrait, Standard, and Vivid, with adjustable sharpness, contrast, brightness, saturation, and hue can be used in conjunction with program auto, semi-manual, and manual modes for fine-tuned image capture. Automatic distortion control, Active D-Lighting (which helps maintain details in shadows and highlights), Long Exposure, High ISO Noise Reduction, Multiple Exposure, Interval Shooting, and a new HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode are among the included options that are standard on most Nikon DSLRs.

Nikon D5100

The D5100 is slightly smaller and lighter than its predecessor, measuring 127x97x79mm and weighing 558g (body only), and its body is well-balanced and comfortable to hold. As always, it's recommended that you budget for the highest quality lens you can afford for the best results. However, the D5100 doesn't have an AF motor, so you'll need an AF-S lens with a built-in motor to use autofocus.

The D5100 is, for the most part, easy to operate. Most - but not all - controls are clearly labelled and make sense for anyone who has used a DSLR. Unfortunately, there's no dedicated ISO button, so it might make sense to program the Function button for ISO adjustments - it's more efficient than using the interactive LCD menu to make changes. Nikon has added a convenient Live View lever adjacent to the mode dial, and has positioned the red direct video record button within easy reach near the shutter release. Be careful around the 4-way multi-selector pad on the rear panel; it's great for manually selecting focus points but accidentally depressing the selector will move the focus point when you're not looking.

What's new and notable

Built around the same, higher-resolution sensor utilised by the D7000 (which means the D5100 can also take advantage of the ultra high speed SanDisk Extreme Pro SDHC UHS-I card), the D5100 is obviously a solid step-up from its predecessor. But there are a number of specific improvements that add to the D5100's appeal. Here are some of the most compelling new features:

Adjustable LCD screen: The new, 3in, high-resolution (921,000 dots) vari-angle LCD screen is a huge improvement over the D5000's monitor. Size and resolution have increased and the LCD is now side-hinged (versus bottom hinged), providing more flexibility for video and Live View shooting. The LCD can also be folded into the camera body to protect the screen.

Low-light shooting: Like the D7000, the D5100's native ISO ranges from 100 to 6400 and is expandable to 25,600, versus the D5000's native 200-3200 that was expandable to 100 and up to 6400. Despite the D5100's additional megapixels and increased ISO options, the camera handles image noise very well when shooting as high as ISO 1600 - with and without the built-in noise reduction. As with the D7000, shooting in Raw mode and processing the image in Adobe Camera Raw delivers the best results.

Nikon has added some new special effects to the D5100, including a Night Vision mode that, appropriate to its name, boosts the ISO to 102,400. It's black and white only and, of course, there's significant noise, but it's usable if there's a little light and you need a stealth mode.

Special effects: The inclusion of special effects in the D5100 is not a groundbreaking addition but adds some fun and creativity to the camera. In addition to Night Vision, there's a Miniature effect that simulates a tilt-shift lens and can make objects look like small models and scenes like dioramas. Color Sketch is self-explanatory and Selective Color converts an image to black and white but retains up to three user-selectable colours. Live View must be enabled to set up the special effects but once options are selected, images can be shot using the viewfinder.

Special effects can be activated during video capture as well. And, except for Night Vision, the new effects can be applied to still images in playback (retouch menu), along with others such as Fisheye and Color Outline. A copy of the adjusted image can be saved so the original is unaffected.

Nikon D5100

Video mode and Live View: The D5100 now offers full HD video, with multiple options: 1920 by 1080 at 30fps or 24fps (frames per second), with two quality (high and normal) settings for each. The same four fps and quality options are available for 1280 by 720 video capture. A lower resolution video of 640 by 424 at 30fps can be shot at high or normal quality as well.

Full-time autofocus is available in both video and Live View modes, and while both are generally more responsive than other competitive DSLRs, neither is lightning fast.

Image quality

The D5100 produces excellent still images, particularly when manual controls are used and the appropriate Picture Control settings are selected and tweaked. Natural-looking but well-saturated colours are the norm, and exposures, even under challenging conditions, are almost always accurate with good dynamic range. The latter is often made even better by implementing Nikon's D-Lighting.

Even with the bump in megapixels from 12 to 16, the D5100 can easily handle the new, expanded ISO range without much strain, all the way up to ISO 1,600. When in doubt, raw capture and processing will help keep image noise to a minimum and details intact.

The AF-S 18-55mm VR lens bundled with the camera ($900 for the kit) is capable of producing surprisingly crisp images for a kit lens. Chromatic aberration was often visible, however, along high contrast edges.

In our lab's subjective image tests, the D5100 earned a word score of Very Good for exposure, Good for both colour and sharpness, and Superior for distortion.

Video quality didn't disappoint either, producing footage that equals or exceeds that of other DSLRs in its class. In our subjective lab tests, the D5100 earned a word score of Good for video quality and Fair for audio quality.

Colours were pleasing and videos were generally sharp - once the D5100's autofocus locked in. Shutter roll may occur when panning quickly but that's not unique to the D5100 and, overall, the camera produced some solid video. Audio quality is good and although we didn't have one to test, the ME-1 stereo microphone should be beneficial if you're serious about capturing live sound.

In addition to our tests, check out this month’s D5100 commercial staring who else but Ashton Kutcher. The commercial, which you may have seen on TV, was filmed with the D5100 in full HD.

Sure, it's a marketing thing, they used a full, professional rig along and the director of photography was Matthew Libatique, ASC (Black Swan, Iron Man), so we may not be able to reproduce this type of quality. But it's certainly a great example of what this camera can do.

The Nikon D5100 is a solid option for photographers looking for a highly-capable yet (fairly) user-friendly sub-£700 DSLR. Although it doesn’t have all the bells, whistles, and speed of the D7000, the D5100 delivers an excellent feature set and image quality that rivals or exceeds the competition. Current D5000 users may very well want to step up to the new model thanks to a number of notable improvements.

Giant Bird Sculpture Made of 5,000 Nails Flies Into Flatiron

FLATIRION — A colossal bird sculpture made from thousands of nails has made a landing in front of the Flatiron Building.

The 12-foot-high, 12-foot-wide artwork is made up of more than 5,000 real and fabricated nails and weighs a whopping 5 tons, the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership announced.

“It’s interesting because this is the first thing like this that we’ve really had,” said Jennifer Brown, executive director of the partnership. “This is the first of something this size.”

Artist Will Ryman sought to change the meaning of the nail by dramatically altering its size and using it in excessive quantities, the statement said.

The sculpture, which holds a red rose from its beak, was loosely inspired by Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” the statement added.

The installation, dubbed “The Bird,” was previously shown in Ryman’s inaugural exhibition at Paul Kasmin Gallery, located at 515 W. 27th St.

As a part of the city Department of Transportation’s Urban Arts Program, the agency partnered with the Flatiron/23rd Street Partnership to commission Ryman and bring the exhibit to the public space at Flatiron Plaza.

“It’s obviously a very iconic location, so it’s interesting to see it in that spot,” Brown said. “Lots of people have been taking pictures of it and with it. It’s drawing a lot of attention.”

“The Bird” will be on display through April 21.

i have installed the Formbuilder App and its working nicly, but...

I have a bilingual website and made two forms - one for the englsh and one for the german contact page. The one on the german page is working fine, the one on the english page does work well for form validation and redirecting to thankyou page , but doesn't send the mail. When I put the first form on the english page it's working. ( So it cant be the language )

So I suspected, that there might be a bug with having more than one form. Have you made pages with more than one form? Or do you have any Idea what else could be the problem?

Apart from this, I hope you had a good start into 2013 and a nice party to finish the old year up .-)

By the way have you looked into this? And if yes what do you think about it?

Cheers betaman

  • I just tried it out over here and it seems to send for multiple forms. I would double-check your values in the Actions tab for both forms and make sure they're the same, and we can try debugging from there. The handling logic is in apps/form/handlers/index.php in a foreach loop around line 55.

  • Its really strange: The problem does not occur when I comment the redirect case in line 88 apps/form/handlers/index.php :

    case 'redirect':
    //$this->redirect ($action->url);

    It might have sth todo wit me using the negotiation_method = url

    I redirect to page /de/kontakt/danke in german (form-1) and /en/contact/thank-you in english (form-2)

    For now I stick with the outcommented redirect. But maybe you can check if you can reproduce the error with this info.

    Cheers betaman

  • It sounds like the redirect is exiting before the other actions are being performed. Here's a patch that may fix it:

    Let me know if that works for you!

  • Great job @Johnny. Now it works like a charm :-) Thanks for the help..

  • Glad to hear! :)

Best_ECN Question...Def

  1. Def, why do I see such a spread in this? The prints I'm watching are only a couple cents apart but the B/A on Best_ECN may be off by 12 to 14 cents? Any idea what is going on? Thanks
  2. It makes me a little leary.....
  3. it would certainly help if you gave an example of a stock and the time. Make sure you have the most upto date version and if you still do not see proper quotes it would help if you sent the details to the helpdesk.
  4. Thanks, I'll do that in the AM if it seems to persist. The stock was PRD as it came off that double bottom at about 8:00 AM PST. I deleted the entry for Best_ECN and made a new ticker for PRD just using the drop down BEST selection. The spread narrowed down to what I was seeing on the prints. The Rev I'm using was upgraded on Monday. Thanks
  5. El Cazador,

    The BEST_ECN only shows the best bid and offer from ECNs, and that's all (no money makers or exchanges like NYSE). PRN is a NYSE issue, and not widely traded on ECNs, so you won't see good prices there due to lack of liquidity. PRN also has relatively low volume in general so yet another reason for the wide spread and difference.

    Check out an active Nasdaq stock like CSCO tomorrow and you'll see that BEST_ECN is usually right on or within 1 to 2 cents of BEST.

  6. damon,
    thanks for pointing that out. For NYSE issues you should use BestEx as there is little liquidity via the ECN's for NYSE stocks.

    I'm probably stating something that you already know but NYSE symbols will have 3 letters.
  7. In the meantime we all received I think, a mail from IB reminding that Best ECN is not for listed [NYSE] stocks.
    it is a pity it is not available for QQQ anymore. well, I guess anyway, Island is the best route [not always best price though].
  8. Hello,
    What ECN does a non-marketable limit order reside on when using BEST_ECN execution? Island, Instinet, RDBK?

    June 06, 2001

    Dear IB Customer,

    IB now offers you three ways to execute your
    stock orders. Depending on your preference,
    you may route your stock order through one
    of the following methods:

    Best Execution--Want to compare competing
    market centers? Choose our standard Best
    Execution option that scans exchanges
    and ECNs on the IB system, and routes your
    order to the best market.

    ECN Best--Designed for customers who prefer
    the speed and certainty of ECN executions.
    Our system will bypass traditional exchanges
    and market makers and route your order to
    the ECN on the IB network that is currently
    posting the best price.

    Choose Your Market--For even more control,
    simply route your stock order directly to
    the exchange or ECN of your choice.

    Also please note the following important

    --If you select ECN Best or route stock
    orders directly to a particular ECN, better
    prices may be posted by other market centers,
    and you may be foregoing the opportunity to
    have your orders executed at a better price

Barnett Waddingham produces guide on payroll deductions

Barnett Waddingham has produced a guide for managers of occupational pension scheme contributions and administers of staff payroll.

The booklet focuses on the two main types of trust-based occupational pension scheme, defined benefit (DB) schemes and defined contribution (DC) schemes. Many parts of the guide are also relevant to other arrangements such as a group personal pension scheme.

Carole Ward, partner at Barnett Waddingham, said: “This guide has been produced to help those administering staff payrolls or making deductions from individual’s pay understand the requirements for managing pension contributions.

“This can be a complicated task yet it is important that it is done correctly or it can have detrimental implications when it comes to retirement.”

Pizza motivates staff more than money

Something for the weekend: Although many employees are partial to a cheese-topped pizza feast as a takeaway treat, academic research has found that the moreish Italian classic is a better motivator for staff than a monetary bonus.

Dan Ariely, a professor at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, found that offering a voucher for a free pizza motivates employees more than a £20 cash bonus.

In his book, Payoff: the hidden logic that shapes our motivations, Airey uses the example of an experiment carried out on staff at an Intel factory in Israel to discuss what motivates staff.

At the beginning of the working week, employees received a message detailing the reward they could gain if their workloads were completed. One group was offered a cash bonus equating to approximately £20, a second group was told they would receive a compliment from their boss by text message and a third group was offered a voucher for a free pizza. A further control group received no message and would not gain a reward.

After the first day, results showed that those in line for a pizza prize had a productivity boost of 6.7%, while those who were due to receive a compliment increased their productivity by 6.6%. Employees in the cash bonus group only increased their productivity by 4.9%.

By the end of the trial week, the promise of earning a compliment proved to be the best motivator, followed by the thought of free pizza. Those who would not receive any reward came in third with the monetary bonus falling into last place, performing 13.2% worse than the control group.

Here at Employee Benefits, we’re rather partial to pizza ourselves, although a coffee and cake session would also get us ploughing through our workloads!

4 Tips for Using a Staffing Firm to Fill Temp Jobs

Summary: If you want to enlist the help of a staffing firm to help you fill your temporary jobs, you should follow these 4 tips.

Learn how to use a staffing firm to help you fill temp jobs at your company more efficiently.
Not so long ago, staffing firms were used primarily to fill low-level office vacancies, mostly on a temporary basis. These temporary workers were placed within a firm, and after a few days (or weeks, or even months) of filing or handling the phones, they quietly departed to move on to the next interim job that came along.

Now, however, staffing firms are placing workers with professional or even executive-level training. And today's "temps" often are smarter, more skilled, and more motivated. In fact, one could even be your next full-time hire.

See How to Hire Interns Who Can Be Full Time Employees for more information.

Temp Time

Don't think your company is in the market to use a staffing agency? You may want to reconsider, especially if in the past you've wasted time and resources trying to fill difficult positions. By going to an outside source, you're letting someone else handle the less-than-pleasant aspects of your candidate search.

Basically, it's a matter of whose time and resources are being used. By using a staffing firm, businesses avoid having to spend time locating, screening, and testing candidates—time that can be put to better use on other projects.

There are other advantages to using a staffing agency, even if you're looking to fill a full-time position. Most notable among these is that you'll have a chance to see how the candidate performs before committing to a permanent hire. This "temp-to-hire" arrangement makes it very easy to end the relationship and move on to the next candidate.

Staffing Stagnation

Still, using an outside staffing firm isn't for everyone. For example, you have to be willing to try out several candidates until you find one that fits your organization best. And you have to weigh the costs of using an agency against other alternatives, such as locating and screening your own candidates. But if the idea appeals to you, keep in mind the following considerations:
  1. He who pays the piper calls the tune. Don't use agencies that charge the candidate a fee. You want a recruiting campaign focused on finding the best candidate for you. Years ago, when recruiting and staffing services were in their infancy, they charged job candidates because they were supplying a service to the employee. That's not true anymore. The staffing firm's loyalty should be to you, not the job candidate. If an agency's income is derived from candidate fees, its primary motivation will be finding any job for that person—but you need the motivation to be finding a person right for your job. For that reason, it's best to avoid these types of agencies. It's a cheaper way to do it, but you get what you pay for.
  2. Create a detailed, accurate job description. It's pretty simple—if a staffing agency doesn't understand what qualifications and skills you're looking for in a candidate, it can't locate the right one for you. And to be even more effective, think about listing additional comments in the description as well. It's very helpful to include other notes about the corporate culture and managers to whom the individual will report. For example, is it an extremely fast-paced environment? Is the executive out of the office 80 percent of the time? Does the position require heavy client interaction via phone and e-mail?
  3. Do your homework. Just as you would check the references of any prospective employee, before you enlist the aid of an outside firm check up on it. Don't just turn to the Internet to select an agency. Contact professional organizations. Ask for recommendations within your business network. If you're trying to fill a high-level or skilled position, look for an agency that specializes in that area. It won't do you much good to go to a high-tech placement firm if you're in the market for accounting help.
  4. Look for warning signs. Once you've found a staffing firm you're interested in working with, keep your eyes open. Visit their offices if possible—it could give you an insight into the level of professionalism in the company culture. Are your phone calls returned promptly? Has the firm sent you two or three "problem" employees in a row? Are they vague when answering questions about how potential candidates are located and screened? Always demand first-rate service—and be prepared to look elsewhere if you don't get it.

Public Release:

Age is not a key factor in cancer survival, but clinical trials exclude older patients

60 percent of cancer patients are older, but they are 'systematically excluded' from clinical trials

Age is not an independent factor in cancer survival rates and should not influence decisions about how to treat older patients, according to a study in the November issue of IJCP, the Independent Journal of Clinical Practice.

A team of hospital and University-based researchers from Barcelona, Spain, carried out a detailed study of more than 200 patients diagnosed with cancer.

"We found that there were a number of factors that influence survival rates - including physical quality of life and how far the cancer had spread - but age was not one of them" says lead researcher Dr Eva Domingo from Hospital Vall d'Hebron.

"Despite this fact, and the challenges that clinicians face from an ageing population, there has been little research into how to treat older cancer patients, who often have complex medical needs because of other health issues.

"They have been systematically excluded from clinical trials for cancer treatments. Although 60 per cent of cancers occur in patients over 65, their participation in clinical trials does not exceed 25 per cent.

"This has made it difficult to predict how older patients will tolerate and respond to the latest cancer treatments and has provided an obstacle to making evidence-based clinical decisions."

Dr Domingo and her colleagues teamed up with researchers from the University of Barcelona to look at 224 patients diagnosed with cancerous tumours.

The patients ranged from 32 to 92 years of age and three-quarters of them were male. Thirty-nine per cent of the patients were under 65 and 61 per cent were 65 or over.

The most common tumours were respiratory (43 per cent) and gastrointestinal (29 per cent). 42 per cent of the patients had a localised tumour.

Just under two-thirds of the patients (62 per cent) died during the one-year follow-up period.

The data from each patient, which included body mass index and quality of life scores as well as various clinical tests, was subjected to a detailed analysis.

This showed that there were four independent factors that played a significant role in predicting whether a patient survived. These were:

• Metastatic dissemination, which measures how widely the cancer has spread. • The level of functional impairment the patient experienced, as measured by the Karnofsky Perfomance Status Scale. • The patient's physical quality of life, as measured by the eight criteria on the Short Form 36 questionnaire. • Serum albumin levels, a major protein that is produced in the liver and is essential for maintaining pressure in the vascular system.

Patients had better survival rates if they had a good physical quality of life and fewer problems with functional impairment. High serum albumin levels were also important, as were a lack of metastatic dissemination.

"The patient's age was not an independent factor that predicted how likely they were to survive cancer" stresses Dr Domingo. "Because of this, age, in itself, should not be used to limit diagnostic or therapeutic decisions."

The number of older cancer patients is rising as the worldwide population ages. But not enough it being done to meet their needs, argue the authors.

"Consciously or unconsciously, age often becomes a decisive element when diagnostic or therapeutic strategies are designed" says Dr Domingo.

"Older people tend to have more complex health needs, such as other illnesses, and that is one of the reasons that has frequently been put forward for not treating their cancers aggressively. However our study found that comorbidity, like age, was much less significant than factors like physical quality of life.

"Other reasons given include the limited long-term benefits, compared with younger patients, and the lack of financial, logistical and social support."

The authors hope that their research will reduce the focus that other clinicians put on age when they treat older patients with cancer.

"We would like to see less decisions taken on the basis of age and more research that explores the complex needs of older people, so that they can be treated more effectively and enjoy a better quality of life" concludes Dr Domingo.
