Children in Need：Wear something spotty

By Jim Sheng
This is a very good business idea, and generous of course! An insurance broker promises to double any amount of money from the fund-raising event. A colouring competition is also an easy one, every child in the primary school would love to do it. Here is the news letter:

'Wear something spotty' and a fantastic competition!

Children In Need Day takes place on Friday 19th November 2010, Children are invited to wear something spotty to school in support of this day. We ask for a minimum donation of 50p to the Children In Need fund if children would like to wear non-uniform.

Swintons Insurance Brokers of Derby have kindly offered to double any amount of money collected by the pupils of Primary School for Children In Need.

Swintons are also organising a colouring competition for the charity. A winner will be chosen from each of the schools taking part. Prizes will be donated by Swintons Insurance Brokers.

If your child would like to enter the competition, they will need to bring a picture to school, reflecting what Children In Need Day is all about. The picture should be no more than A4 size and be the child's own work. Each picture should be sent to school with a £1 entrance fee. The closing date for entries is Thursday 12th November. The child's name, age and school should be written on the back of the picture. Please do not include a home address or telephone number.

Swintons will collect the pictures on Monday 15th November and display these in their Chaddesden Branch until the judging on Children In Need Day. Winners will be informed shortly thereafter.

The official logo of Children in Needs is a yellow bear with a red spotted bandage which was designed by Joanna Ball, a BBC graphics designer, who named originally brown cuddly mascot Pudsey after the West Yorkshire town where she was born.

coat-of-arms

By Jim Sheng
Heraldry probably began with the knights in armour. When wearing a helmet in battle or in tournaments a knight could not be recognised; so he used symbols to decorate his shield and surcoat. The surcoat was the loose garment worn over the armour to protect it from rain or hot sun and actually was the "coat-of-arms"; it was decorated on the front and back with the same device as on the shield. The correct expression for entire design is an achievement . An achievement consists of the shield, helmet, rest, wreath, mantling and motto. These are the main parts. To them can be added supporters and a compartment. In the centre is the most important part, the shield . The surface of the shield is called the field  and on it the colourful charges are placed. The shield is called the arms or coat-of-arms  and can be drawn in any shape - in an upright position or slanting, which is the position it would fall into if hung on a peg. In Heraldry it slants to dexter. The helmet denot...

You can find your Wireless Network Key on Virgin Media Wireless Router

By Jim Sheng
We have a new netbook computer, and don't know where to find network key, which is needed to setup wireless connection. A network key may also be called WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key or WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) key. A wireless network key is a security feature that prevents unauthorized users from accessing a wireless network. An unprotected network is an unlocked virtual door, anybody within range can piggyback on the network undetected. I use Virgin media broadband with a Virgin media wireless router, this router has a WPA key taped on the router, that WPA key is an English word consisting of 10 letters. To tape network key on the router is a good idea, because we may never lose or forget a wireless network key as long as we possess the router.
