Never heard of it? Neither had I until I was doing some research on dress codes and guidelines for retail associates. Widely embraced by major retailers to help employees and the fashion set create looks that are more stylish and polished, the Third Piece Rule provides a simple formula for dressing your best. Your top and your bottom are your first and second pieces, while your third piece is an extra outfit element that pulls your entire look together. The third piece is the exclamation point on an outfit that would otherwise be ordinary.
Essentially, the Third Piece Rule theory is put to use to make your outfits a bit more stylish. Easy to remember and simple to execute, it will never leave you doubting if you look pulled together. Good style is assured with the Third Piece Rule.
A great statement-making third piece is a vest. One part drama, one part style, vests are a quintessential item often selected to pull together any look. Vests are so versatile (especially one like this) that they can be worn over pants and a crew neck sweater for a casual look or, as shown here, in a high fashion way over a maxi skirt and silk blouse.
While there is technically nothing wrong with a t-shirt and jeans (fashion staples), take your look up a notch and top it off with a fashion-forward blazer. This pre-layered jacket not only pulls the look together, but the illusion of a sweatshirt and vest show off layering done right!
Creating a stylish look shouldn’t be reserved for dressing up. Even a casual runaround outfit benefits from the Third Piece Rule. Take this chic yoga look: a pair of leggings and a cropped sweatshirt looks like any other workout outfit, but when you add that finishing touch of a denim jacket, the outfit is transformed from ordinary to out-and-about-worthy.
The versatility of accessories makes them easily added third pieces. Take this simple black dress for instance. When your look is anchored with a first piece like this, you can add multiple statement-making items like an oversized knit scarf and necklace. Something as easy and understated as a black dress instantly looks more interesting and styled with the assistance of great accessories.

80 million people in the United States are either uninsured or underinsured. In the last two years, 40% of the U.S. population either didn’t buy medicine they needed or reduced the required dosage because of the high cost!
Health care coverage is one of the top concerns for people in our community. United Way of Frederick County is committed to helping increase access to affordable health care and getting everyone the medicine they need. Many people who live and work in our community struggle to pay their bills and have to choose between getting the medicine they need and paying for food, rent or utilities.
Since FamilyWize began in 2005, this free prescription assistance program has helped over 4.5 million people save money on their prescription medications, and saved Frederick County residents over $434,270. As you can see from the counter, our United Way of Frederick County and other United Ways across the country are working with FamilyWize every day to help more people. As of 2014, FamilyWize had served more than 4,000 individuals filling over 22,000 prescriptions.
Our new app makes it easier than ever for smartphone owners to save. The app includes a digital card as well as the Drug and Pharmacy Lookup Tool. To download the app, please click on either the iTunes or Google Play link below.
The FamilyWize prescription drug discount cards can be used by everyone in the community for prescription medicine, not just people with no insurance. There are no usage, age, or income limits.
Simply give the card to the pharmacist with your prescription. An instant discount— varies by medication—is applied to the prescription medicine. The card provides pharmacy discounts (up to 75%) on all FDA-approved prescription medicine not covered by insurance, Medicaid, Medicare or other benefit plans. You pay either the discounted price or the pharmacy's retail price, whichever is lower.
Just click the free prescription discount card above to print your own, or text the word “family” to 700700 and receive card information on your phone. Take it to one of the 60,000 participating pharmacies to begin saving immediately.
If you are part of an organization that can help United Way of Frederick County distribute a large number of cards to your employees, members, or clients, please contact Malcolm Furgol at [email protected] to join us in increasing access to healthcare in our community. | 2019-04-20T02:25:20 | https://www.unitedwayfrederick.org/familywize |
On Monday evening Sheffield Hallam University hosted an evening of cycling chat with headline names Nicole Cooke and David Walsh, as well as three sports Profs from the Uni. There was also a surprise visit from a three time Tour de France Champion!
David Walsh spoke openly and eloquently about why he pursued Lance Armstrong through expensive legal cases and many years. He, and other journalists and sportspeople, had suspicions when Lance went from finishing well down the field for the four years prior to his cancer treatment to coming back to win by a large margin afterwards. A great quote attributed to Greg Lemond (American three time winner of the TdF) was ‘either its the greatest sporting comeback or the greatest fraud’. At this point a voice piped up from the back of the room – ‘I’m here!’ – Greg Lemond had turned up in the audience!
On the subject of this years events Walsh was less supportive of Team Sky than his previous standpoint. Last year he unequivocally supported Chris Froome and Sky as being clean riders with nothing to hide. This year however he feels they are dropping below this whiter than white approach. Chris Froome and his TUE was mentioned (nicely leading on from my last post here) as well as decisions to hire a few riders and a team doctor with shadey pasts. If Team Sky want to be seen as whiter than white then they have to be whiter than white, be more ethical as well as follow the letter of the law. He suggested they join the Movement for Credible cycling (as mentioned in the TUE blog).
You can read her retirement statement in full here – it is worth a look.
Steven Haake, Professor of Sports Engineering talked about the design of bikes and how carbon fibre has changed many rules. He explained how position on that bike makes a massive difference (illustrated with a demonstration of audience volunteers). The design of a bicycle for racing is set by the UCI so there is little scope for radical design, but lighter and more aerodynamic are two areas for development.
Next Ian Maynard, Professor of sport psychology, discussed how sports stars will approach a race or event. He talked about how the teams will segment the day of competition, creating a routine to enable the athlete to reach their peak performance. One of his key thoughts was that elite sport is often about mental toughness – being able to deal with adversity and bounce back stronger. He also mentioned a survey where 80% of elites sports people would take an illegal drug if they thought they woudl get away with it and win a medal. At this point Nicole Cooke pointed out she was not one of those 80%!
Overall the event was interesting, fun and well put together. The real star draws were obviously David Walsh and Nicole Cooke, but the others were interesting too. We did start to get a flavour of what goes into being an elite athlete.
Thanks for reading! Sign up for updates….
What an interesting event – wish I’d been there!

The following is a list of words and phrases that are overused by the girls. Sometimes, I think that if I hear them one more time, I will seriously lose my mind.
1. You are being a brat! – This actually means, you are not doing what I want you to do, so therefore you must be a brat.
2. You are/she is being annoying. – Again, this means you are not doing what I want you to do.
3. You are giving me a migraine! – See above.
4. ______ is nicer than you! – Again, see above.
6. That’s not fair! – Roughly translates to, I am not getting my way.
What about you? What are some overused phrases in your house? | 2019-04-25T08:49:49 | https://lifeandtimesofawickedstepmom.wordpress.com/category/family/ |

The people of Scott Yetman Design knew how to imbue this stunning residence with character and elegance.
The selection of veneer type and finish bring a touch of warmth and exclusivity to this project. First off, this project had to be designed and conceptualized as one sole piece of cabinetry. Steps, wall panels, doors, and frames had to adhere to a very precise alignment. Detailed drawings along with many templates were used to allow for the planned installation to roll forward—limiting adjustments to the constraints of the site. | 2019-04-19T23:16:00 | http://ateliermmr.com/project/residence-upper-bellevue/ |
Grace, named after Hollywood icon Grace Kelly, brings together the beauty of heritage architecture with a spacious floorplan and classic design elements. The event venue, which opened earlier this winter, is located in a historical building in Toronto’s old stockyards district just north of the Junction’s west-end neighbourhood. Bathed in light from multiple windows and clerestory skylights, there’s a soft elegance to the space’s exposed brick-and-beam structural bones and lofty industrial ceiling.
The 2,400-sq.-ft. venue offers two distinct function areas each featuring expansive statement walls as design or branding backdrops. There’s also dimmable lighting and an in-house sound system. Grace’s Room, the main space, accommodates up to 150 reception-style. The Tasting Lounge is more intimate. Use as an extension to the larger room or for breakout meetings, private dinners or a VIP lounge. The room comes furnished with a custom millwork cabinet and wet bar, lounge chairs and a live-edge wood boardroom table seating 12. Toben Food by Design exclusively oversees the venue’s catering from its on-site 6,500-sq.-ft. kitchen commissary. | 2019-04-21T22:37:22 | http://www.tsevents.com/venues/historical-elegance/ |
Paşabahçe Mağazaları A.Ş. is the retail chain store business of Şişecam’s Glassware Group.
Paşabahçe was established in Beykoz Paşabahçe in 1935 by Türkiye İş Bankası upon the directive of Atatürk, the founder of Modern Turkey, in order to meet the basic glassware needs of the country. The company was initially registered as Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları Anonim Sosyetesi. There has always been a small store at the entrance of the Paşabahçe factory since its establishment, but retail activities in the modern sense really began in 1957 with the establishment of Paşabahçe Ticaret Ltd. Şti. and the opening of stores in Istanbul Beyoğlu and Ankara.
Initially, the company was involved in wholesale business as well as retail, but as the wholesale and export business grew significantly over time, Paşabahçe Perakende Satışlar A.Ş. was established in 1982 for the purpose of solely focusing on retail stores and the name of this company was subsequently changed to Paşabahçe Mağazaları A.Ş. in 1998.
Since 2000, significant changes were made in our retail approach as well as sales methods, decoration, presentation, products and staffing as part of a “Modernization Project”. Functionality of products and modern design, modern needs in tableware and kitchens are stressed in this project and new products are designed with a holistic approach while the limited edition History-Culture-Glass Collections focus on our cultural legacy and values.
Offering glass, ceramics, porcelain, wood and steel tableware and kitchenware as well as house decoration items to its customers under the ‘Life’ and ‘Boutique’ concepts, Pasabahce Stores operates with a total of 51 stores. | 2019-04-24T04:47:56 | http://store.pasabahce.com/kurumsal/hakkimizda |

So in regard to hemp CBD oil I bet you are thinking, “it’s less effective.” Well, let’s put a few things into perspective. First, it is certainly not going to blow you away and give you a buzzin’ high. In fact, it’s widely known that hemp-based CBD oil produces no psychoactive response whatsoever. Furthermore, it isn’t going to cure cancer, or “cure” any disease for that matter. It may, however, help with mild conditions such as pain, anxiety, and arthritis – if dosed correctly, in consultation with your doctor. Similar to most things in life, it is a matter of what works best for you; there are currently hundreds of CBD Oil brands on the market, and what might work for one person, might not work at all for another. The question is finding what works for you and if you do find it, it just might change your life around from head to toe. | 2019-04-23T22:56:35 | https://www.standingakimbobakery.com/buy-cbd-nyc-buy-cbd-vape-pen-near-me.html |
If you have been thinking about starting a diet, then you are going to want to stop what you’re doing, grab pen, paper and read this article right away…..
According to the newest data on obesity released by Statistics Canada; Adult Canadians are becoming more obese. Now I am not sure if that surprises you but it does not surprise me for two reasons.
Reason 1: Did you know that if you type the words ‘weight loss diet’ in Google about 1,090,000,000 results will show up?
Reason 2: Did you also know that people have been inventing diets for over 150 years? One of the first diets was created in 1863 when William Banting invented the first low-carb diet. Let’s think about that for a moment. We have access to over 150 years’ worth of research and science at our fingertips about diets but we still haven’t figured out weight loss?
Weight loss is obviously a very confusing industry, full of gimmick diets such as all protein, all juice, no carbs, no food, magic pills, and a countless amount of other diets. Once we stop these diets we gain the weight back and then some — which is very harmful to our health.
I think its time that we all give up dieting and just start living healthier lives! We don’t need to be perfect. All we have to do is make healthier decisions in our everyday life. It’s easy! We can start small by covering half of every plate with fresh organic green vegetables (including your breakfast plate), walk 30 minutes a day, drink the right amount of good clean water for your body. Make sure the products you use and the people you spend time with are toxic free, keep a positive mental attitude, etc.
If you want to have a real weight management breakthrough and maintain a healthy weight long-term, you need to create healthy habits.
Hopefully, you grabbed a pen and paper because when we write down our goals the odds of us reaching them increases. The odds increase again when we already talk and act as if what we want is ours already.
You can make a positive change in your life. Start by trying this fat-burning recipe.
These flavourful sunflower seed sausages are fat burning, a perfect vegan option and are delicious hot or cold! | 2019-04-18T16:59:55 | https://calgaryherald.com/health/diet-fitness/ditch-diets-for-a-healthier-you |
I remember Nerf battles as a kid. Looking back, I can appreciate both the physical exercise from running around and the mental exercise from strategizing, but at the time, it was just fun. The Nerf N-Strike Modulus Blaster adds some creativity to the mix with different modules you can add to the gun to make it any configuration you want. | 2019-04-21T16:40:21 | http://toyrecs.com/tag/outdoor-toys/ |
British Admiralty Nautical Chart 1431: Ireland - East Coast, Drogheda and Dundalk is a standard nautical chart. This nautical chart complies with Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations and is ideal for professional, commercial and recreational use. Charts within the series consist of a range of scales, useful for passage planning, ocean crossings, coastal navigation and entering port. Mariners should always use the largest scale nautical chart appropriate to their needs. In particularly busy seaways such as the English Channel, Gulf of Suez and the Malacca and Singapore Straits, the standard nautical charts are supplemented by mariners' routeing guides which provide advice on route planning in these complex areas. Admiralty nautical charts are corrected to the latest notice to mariners (NTM) by our trained cartographer at the point of sale. It is the mariner's responsibility to maintain and correct the chart onwards to be in compliance with SOLAS regulations and to ensure safe navigation. | 2019-04-24T14:53:43 | https://www.amnautical.com/products/british-admiralty-nautical-chart-1431-ireland-east-coast-drogheda-and-dundalk |

Apple iPhone users now will be able to use the Waze app on their car's infotainment screen—at least if they own certain late-model Ford vehicles.
The automaker's latest infotainment system is now compatible with the popular Waze navigation app, the two parties announced Wednesday at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
Unlike existing Android Auto support for Waze, Ford uses its baked-in SmartDevice Link to host Waze directly through the Sync 3 infotainment software fitted to many 2018 model year Ford and Lincoln vehicles. That means that users—sorry, Wazers—aren't device-restricted.
Ford says that Sync 3-equipped 2018 model year vehicles will be ready to go with Waze. Previous model year Fords with Sync 3 will require an over-the-air update. To use the app, Wazers will only need to connect a smartphone with the app installed to the USB port in a Sync 3-equipped Ford vehicle. Then, Waze will pop up on the infotainment screen.
Ford's Waze integration takes full advantage of Waze including HOV routes, traffic and police alerts, and, crucially, the Talk to Waze function that eliminates the need for drivers to tap out commands while moving.
The Waze integration comes courtesy SmartDevice Link, an interface standardization effort spearheaded by Ford that's now being shared with Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, and other automakers. SmartDevice Link was born to streamline app interfaces as well as to improve security against hackers.
It's also a bid by automakers to reduce Apple and Google's encroachment on in-car tech. Wednesday's announcement is the first sign of life from SmartDevice Link—and it's a big one. | 2019-04-25T16:18:39 | https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1114707_ford-gives-waze-a-boost |
For this week’s Fun Friday, I’d like to give another recommendation, one which is actually related to the Thoughtful Tuesday post this week.
I’ve listened off and on to the Note to Self podcast, which is about technology and the way we use it today. Last year, they did a fascinating series on information overload, how it affects us and how to manage it. They called it "Infomagical" (and it was most glorious).
Oh, and they interview a bunch of experts, so you know it has to be helpful.
Hey Creatives, what are your methods for limiting information overload? Let us know in the comments below. | 2019-04-23T02:25:01 | https://creativeandbeyond.com/blog/2017/2/15/info-magic |
'shelter' ~ watercolors, gouache and oil pastels on heavy watercolor paper, 4" x 6"
hello friends... it's been a while! i was going to post earlier this week, but my dh got acute appendicitis, which was followed by an appendectomy, and life took off at an accelerated pace again!
'shelter' is the first painting that i painted after getting home. my trip was one big whirlwind and i painted very little while i was gone. i worked on 'shelter' (and no other paintings) for 5 days between resting and getting settled back in. by the third day i was beginning to question not only the process but my sanity! it's one thing to talk about working on a 4" x 6" painting day after day, and quite another to actually do it... *and* it's a perfect example of how art/painting helps us process our feelings - helps us understand our feelings.

The U.S. economy looks to the future from a position of strength, due in no small part to its openness and flexibility. U.S. tariffs are among the world�s lowest, averaging only 2.8 percent on internationally comparable terms. The United States is also the world�s leading trader in goods and services, accounting for about 14 percent of world exports and about 16 percent of imports. Americans benefit directly from open markets. U.S. producers benefit from exports of high-tech manufactures, agriculture, and services, among other products. U.S. workers enjoy higher paying jobs and U.S. consumers enjoy lower prices and more product variety.
On the threshold of the 21st Century, two related features of the U.S. economy are particularly striking. First, it has never been more prosperous and, second, it has never been as integrated into the world economy. The U.S. economy provides its citizens with living standards that are higher than those in many other major industrial economies measured in terms of purchasing power, per capita income in the United States is 27 percent higher than in Japan and 41 percent higher than in Germany. The U.S. economy is able to provide such high living standards, in part, because Americans engage extensively in international trade. As an indicator of its size and scope, U.S. trade�s value relative to U.S. GNP has been almost 25 percent in recent years, the highest it has been at any point in the past hundred years.
The United States is the world�s leading services exporter, accounting for over 18 percent of all commercial service exports.
America gains most when other nations lower their trade barriers as we reduce ours. Indeed, as one of the world�s most open economies, we have a particular interest in promoting liberalization abroad. The system of binding commitments first established in the GATT and now advanced by the WTO has provided a framework for liberalization. Consistent with U.S. goals for an open multilateral trading system, the GATT was founded in 1948 on principles of reciprocity and non-discrimination. On this basis, it has been extremely successful in opening markets.
The WTO provides rules for protecting intellectual property rights. For the United States, one of the world�s most innovative nations, such rights convey substantial value. In 1998, U.S. exports of royalties and license fees amounted to about $37 billion. | 2019-04-20T12:53:18 | https://clintonwhitehouse5.archives.gov/textonly/WH/EOP/CEA/html/wto/index.html |
Getting local businesses, that you work hand in hand with, to promote you can increase event attendance significantly. Getting them to promote on their website, in a news letter or having flyers on the counter if their business has a shop front can be huge. In return you can offer web based promoters a link from your site to theirs, which directs traffic and business to them, or offering advertising at the event is another way to appeal to them. You’ll want to go after the big whales and companies you think will bring you the most success first. Make a list of targeted companies and work your way down the list till you have either as many as you can, or your target amount of publicity. Make sure to not over sell advertising space to your event as this may be frowned upon in the future, making them not want to do business again. Like i said, make a target list and knock them off in order of importance.
Guest speakers can bring a draw of their own. Help them help you. Get them to make it well known that they are attending this event. Bringing more eyes to you and more eyes to them cant hurt. Get them to reach out on social platforms as well as any chance they have really. Do the same back for them. Scratching each others backs can go a long way, in the short, and long run. | 2019-04-23T03:02:50 | https://airwavesmusic.ca/kamloops-wedding-vendors-and-information/event-promotion-part-2-airwaves-music-kamloops/ |
These past couple of days have been sorrowful. Since becoming a wolfhound mom, I have been introduced to a world of wolfhound moms and dads, our bonds forged by our love and devotion to this breed.
One was a big, wooly hound whose photos always brought a smile to our faces…..one was a young man finally getting a new heart…..though he had already lost his to a wolfhound named Gelert, who I am sure was waiting to greet him. I envision his long tail wagging, his huge paws reaching out to embrace his dad, who suffered complications during surgery. He didn’t survive his new heart operation, but Gelert was waiting to give him his once again…….
I think sharing your heart with a wolfhound changes you. You see the shortness of life, you carry the fear of a life altering moment within your heart…..always. We said goodbye to a hound ……. a devoted father and furry son said hello in the afterlife, I am certain.
Our hearts carve another niche in their worry corners……..as we realize the fragility of life. Hellos and good byes are interspersed all too closely for us.

When was the last time that films involving Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts all went into the big night as underdogs? The oceanic upheaval that rocked Robert Redford's world in last year's "All Is Lost" is just a pond ripple, compared to the turbulent sea change that is in the offing this Oscar evening.
Why is this? In 2013, there was, simply, a superabundance of brilliant pictures and sterling performances. It was a more overcrowded field than, well, the chaotic gridiron sung about by Don McLean in "American Pie."
And, as usual, there were some questionable calls. The gripping "Fruitvale Station" received not one nomination, while the utterly boring Animal-House-on-the-Hudson parable "Wolf of Wall Street" — an uninvolving retread of a 1929 movie of the same title — somehow grabbed five.
Best Supporting Actress: Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years a Slave"
Yes, in "American Hustle," Jennifer Lawrence deftly tapped into the cunning but vulnerable mind of Rosalyn Rosenfeld. But Nyong'o delivered an absolutely searing performance in "12 Years a Slave" as abused human property. Overlooked, but worthy of inclusion in this category: Ellen Page ("The East") and Juliette Lewis ("August: Osage County").
Best Supporting Actor: Jared Leto, "Dallas Buyers Club"
Again, the versatile Michael Fassbender ("12 Years a Slave") will go home empty-handed. Newcomer Barkhad Abdi ("Captain Phillips") may silently pray to the Academy voters, "Look at me!" But how could they have taken their eyes off of the superb acting and miraculous transformation — of gender and emaciation — turned in by Jared Leto in "Dallas Buyers Club"? Overlooked, but worthy of nomination: Will Forte ("Nebraska") and Keith Stanfield (Short Term 12").
Best Actress: Cate Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine"
This category boasts perhaps the largest number of potential and actual contenders. As riveting as Amy Adams was in her duplicitous role in "American Hustle," her acting was outmatched by Ms. Blanchett's unerring exploration of a woman's wounded psyche in "Blue Jasmine." Overlooked, but worthy of inclusion: Emma Thompson ("Saving Mr. Banks"), Brie Larson ("Short Term 12"), Julie Delpy ("Before Midnight") and Shailene Woodley ("The Spectacular Now").
Best Actor: Chiwetel Ejiofor, "12 Years a Slave"
Best Director: Steve McQueen, "12 Years a Slave"
Incredibly, until this year, neither David O. Russell ("American Hustle"), nor McQueen nor Alfonso Cuaron ("Gravity") had ever won either an Oscar or Golden Globe award. That streak ended with Cuaron capturing this year's Golden Globe award for best director. Now, the Academy is poised to reward McQueen, who fearlessly took on his most daunting assignment. Overlooked, but worthy of inclusion: Destin Cretton ("Short Term 12").
Best Picture: "12 Years a Slave"
The Academy traditionally favors intense period dramas over quirky period comedies, and this adaptation of Solomon Northup's true-life tale is too well-crafted and too well-acted to be "Hustled" off of the stage. This motion picture is truly a classic for the ages, and will be so recognized on Oscar night. Overlooked, but worthy of inclusion in this category: "Short Term 12," "Before Midnight," and "The Spectacular Now." | 2019-04-24T04:11:18 | https://www.telegram.com/article/20140228/NEWS/302289941 |

The time is coming when we will no longer talk about digital banking, but banking in a digital world, like Keith Weed from Unilever said.
Technology is transforming businesses at the speed of light and the most adaptable to change are the ones that stay ahead and, let’s admit it, that survive. Digital transformation of banking, an industry highly receptive to embracing IT breakthroughs, implies an integrated use of modern technologies in all business operations, e.g. through the use of Internet and Mobile Banking.
So, what are the current trends? Have the banks started implementation of their digital banking strategies? Which channels are winning the battle – digital or traditional? How to provide seamless customer experience across different channels? How to attract and engage customers? When are banks planning to fully digitise their processes? And more importantly, when are YOU planning to make this move?
To lend you a hand in the implementation of this inevitable process, Asseco SEE carried out “Digital Transformation Survey in Banking – 2016” among 140 bankers across Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Croatia, Kosovo, Slovenia, Serbia and other European countries. Have the valuable information at your hand and download the survey findings now!
Please choose the area(s) of your interest.

Technology is something that we can’t seem to live without, we carry it with us and we even have it at home. This increased dependability on our gadgets has lead many manufacturers to rethinks the way they design the stand laptops, tablets and smartphones.
At first we had our smartphones, they were really great and there was plenty that you could do with them. The only issue was that the screens were too small for prolonged viewing, reading or typing out emails or other documents. Tablets were a little bigger but did not come with the convenience of a laptop, the quintessential and portable tool. If you did want to do some serious typing, then you would have to turn the average tablet into a PC by adding on accessories like a compatible mouse and keyboard.
The biggest craze right now is the hybrid tablet or laptop or lap tab. Call it whatever you want, this smart new gadget has been designed to offer the portability of a tablet and the computing power of a laptop. The design structure of the device is pretty simple; it is a tablet that comes with a detachable external keypad and mouse tracker.
Both interfaces are connected using magnets or clips and both can be used for any kind of input. So if you want o work on an important document comfortable, then you can use the keypad and is you want to continue your work on the go, simply detach the screen. Apart from enhanced productivity, you can also watch movies, play games and browse the web like you would on your tablet and laptop.
The tablet PC, as it’s more commonly known, has multiple connectivity options and storage points, with the average screen size being about 10”. There are two main types available in the market; there is the average android tablet that can easily to connect to customized keyboards and mice. Some of the keypads double as a cover for you tablet, while other can be attached using the OTG function or using Bluetooth. There have been many compatible issues surrounding these two options.
This is where the tablet PC proves to be useful as it is an advanced version of the tablet. The keyboard looks similar to what you will find on any other laptop and includes a track pad; it also connects perfectly with the tablet. All designs currently available are super slim and compact with the added advantage of a touch screen.
In fact these design are so impressive, many companies are redesigning their laptops to be slimmer and lighter, just so that they match the competition. While other tablets may be perfect for online surfing and entertainment, the tablet PC offers a solid ground for some serious work. Certain other gadgets call convertible allow you to move the entire keyboard right behind the tablet when it’s not in use, this way you always have it with you when you need it. These are heavier and more costly.
Another big factor of the convertibles and tablet PC is the lack of the fan that’s normally found under normal laptops. With the new Intel processor that doesn’t consume too much power; the need for a cooling fan is eliminated. This feature is present only on some convertibles, while the tablet PC is sleeker, has no fans and stays cool.
The windows OS is now being used on many laptops and tablets, as the touch screens on tablets make it easier to use. Battery life too is also increased as tablet PCs has low powered processors that don’t take on too much power. These devices may be costly, but there are many places that offer Second Hand Mobile Phones that will have them for less. This mostly because the devices are used, factory seconds and reconditioned with top quality and full warranty.

Nearly seven months after its much-heralded relaunch, The New York Times Magazine is changing yet again. Ana Marie Cox has been named its new Talk interviewer, conducting weekly question-and-answers in the back of the book, and Kwame Anthony Appiah, a professor of philosophy and law at New York University, will take over as the magazine’s sole Ethicist.
Mr. Appiah had been doing the Ethicists feature, a sort of glorified philosophical-advice column, with two others: the constitutional lawyer Kenji Yoshino and the novelist Amy Bloom. (Mr. Appiah replaced Jack Shafer, a senior media writer at Politico, in April.) Their conversation, an edited version of which was published in print, also went out as a podcast. But according to Jake Silverstein, the magazine’s editor, the podcast didn’t attract a large enough audience.
“Trying out a new format for a long-running column was a bit of an experiment,” Mr. Silverstein said in a statement. And so the column, which was introduced by former editor Adam Moss in 1999 and first written by Randy Cohen, will return to its original form. The Sept. 19 issue of the magazine will feature the last Ethicists column, after which Mr. Appiah, whom Mr. Silverstein described as “an exceptional thinker and writer,” will strike out on his own.
Ms. Cox, who writes a weekly political column for the Daily Beast, has been doing interviews for the magazine on and off since July—with Ice Cube, Tyra Banks and Bill Bryson, to name a few. For the past year or so, the column has been manned by a rotating cast of interviewers. Ms. Cox takes over officially on October 4.
“Ana Marie is a tough and funny interviewer who has a rare ability to get people to drop their talking points and speak frankly,” Mr. Silverstein said. | 2019-04-21T02:36:28 | https://observer.com/2015/09/changes-at-nyt-mag-ana-marie-cox-takes-over-talk-and-ethicists-goes-solo/ |
The credit hour is a theoretical study hour of 50 minutes per week per semester requiring two hours at least of individualized learning, or two or three applied work hours of 50 minutes each per week per semester requiring one hour at least of individualized learning. The credit hour is the basis of determining the student’s study load in every semester. The total of study weeks for each credit hour shall not be less than fifteen weeks per semester.
It is the credit hour achieved in any of the courses the student registered for. It shall be counted to determine the achievement of the student toward graduation.
It is the hour the lecturer assigns for answering any questions the students may raise in any of the courses taught. It shall be announced to the students and held in the lecturer’s office.
It is the course studied in one semester. Each course shall be assigned a number of credit hours and a certain code for each department.
It is the study course the student must successfully pass before registering for another course, in the case of which the course shall be considered a prerequisite to the latter course.
It is the total credit hours the student is allowed to register for per semester on the basis of his capabilities and academic achievement. The ordinary student shall register for not more than 19 credit hours and not less than 9 credit hours. However, the student who got excellent grade shall be allowed to register for 22 credit hours provided this is recommended by the student’s academic advisor and approved by the chairman of the student’s department. The student whose grade point average is less than 2 shall not be allowed to register for more than 12 hours.
The academic year comprises two semesters or more. The duration of the semester is 15 or 16 weeks at the end of which the end of semester examination is held.
It is an intensive study semester of not less than 6 weeks. Students shall be allowed to register for the summer session according to special rules. The summer session academic load shall not be more than 6 credit hours.
It is a period of the total study duration comprising one period or more spent in the Academy or on-board ships according to the student’s study plan.
It is the educational plan the student s on the basis of his capabilities with a view to achieving his educational objectives. Each specialization comprises a number of educational paths.
It is the grade, e.g., A / B / C etc., the student gets in each course. Each grade represents certain points.
The course points the student gets, are calculated in the following way: The value of the course grade the student gets in the course X the number of the course credit hours (as indicated in the assessment method).
The department chairman may decide to postpone a student’s end of semester examination if recommended by the lecturer of the course, in the case of which the course shall be considered incomplete. In this case, the student shall sit for this an examination in this course during the first week of the following semester, otherwise the student shall be considered withdrawn from the course. However, the course shall be considered incomplete provided the student gets not less than 36 out of 60 in class works and not more than 15% absenteeism.
In case of courses extending for two semesters, if a student does not get a grade (as in the case of projects) in the first part of the course, this part shall be considered incomplete until he gets a grade in the final examination of the course at the end of the following semester.
It is the average the student gets at the end of the semester it is calculated by adding the points the student got from the courses he passed and subdividing them by the total credit hours he registered for in that semester. When calculating the grade point average at the time of graduation, all the F hours are omitted.
It is the average the student gets by adding the points he got from all the courses he studied till the time of calculating that average and subdividing them by the total credit hours he registered for till that time. The grade point average is calculated at the end of every semester to be used for calculating the general average for any phase and the general average for the end of study for the purpose of determining the student’s academic load, continuation of study and probation.
Probation is affected when the student’s grade point average s down below 2, which requires additional efforts on the part of the student to raise his grade point average to get out of probation. | 2019-04-20T18:38:00 | http://www.aast.edu/en/colleges/comt/contenttemp.php?page_id=500016 |

I am drawn to vast spaces. Skies, in particular, fascinate me. I love watching clouds move across the sky continually changing states, a focused seeing that inspires my creativity.
As the daughter of a geology professor and high school biology teacher, I grew up learning that nature was both explainable and full of magic. I want my work to capture an equivalent of light and air, a caught motion, a celebration of nature’s dynamism and mystery.
My intent is to reduce the landscape to essentials, evoking an emotional space that invites you inside while retaining a painterly physicality and surface tension.
The challenge of making a visual and poetic equivalent of the landscape continually pushes me to explore new techniques in monotype. I have specific intentions when I work, but I also respond to what emerges on the plate and intuitively follow the image as it unfolds. | 2019-04-21T20:56:40 | https://www.davidsongalleries.com/exhibitions/past/wendy-orville-refuge/ |

I got to know about this site through face book because it was advertised over there.
maybe I should have a talk with face book as well.
I had the same. Tracking says, it arrived in Hungary, but since no more tracking available.
No answer to my contacts, whether on the WEB contact or to my Emails.
Same exact thing with me. Facebook had it advertised and they said it was delivered to my front door. Nothing. | 2019-04-21T12:58:29 | https://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2017/12/14/beware-of-ddecorate-life-at-ddecoratelife-com-it-a-fraudulent-computer-store/ |
Backseat - A pair of throws and catches that Mike discovered while sitting in the back of a car.
Grab the side of a hat in a pinch grip, and carry it down in front of you so the crown is downwards. Flick it up so it spins 360 degrees, and catch it in another pinch grip at the back of the hat. Quickly push it up and forward, spinning the hat 180 degrees and catch in a pinch grip once again.
Stick it back on your head.
To perform the trick most effectively aim for one slick movement rather than two separate parts. | 2019-04-24T02:35:04 | http://juggling.tv/15575 |

How are you all doing? I hope you are having a restful weekend. Finally back to posting regular outfits, sadly no more vacation posts. One of my summer must-haves are Maxi dresses, I just love how easy they are to throw on and instantly make an outfit. This one I am wearing features the cold/off-shoulder trend of the season and it is from Justfab. I added pops of color with the yellow purse and purple sandals to brighten up the look.
The cold shoulder is also a favourite for me and that you have it as a maxi with a gorgeous slit is absolutely tops!
Love the dress on you, gorgeous!! I love your shoes as well! | 2019-04-23T08:30:46 | https://www.raliatoyinlola.com/2016/08/cold-shoulder-maxi.html |

Sarah Palin Leaks Classified Deployment Details?
Did you know Sarah Palin has a 19 year old son named Track who is being deployed to Iraq on September 11th, 2008?
Of course you did- because it’s all she ever talks about.
And did you ever think: jeez, that’s weird. Why would she announce specific details of his deployment to the world? Does she think they don’t have TV and newspapers in the Middle East? Doesn’t she remember what happened with Prince Harry?
Sure the pastor at Barack Obama’s church may have said some stupid stuff about white people or whatever but, at the end of the day, his intentions were righteous and his message was intended to bring about positive change for his congregation and for society as a whole.
Sure Reverend Wright may have said some stupid stuff, but he never had any intention of taking over the country, installing a Christian government and forcing his beliefs on every citizen.
The same can not be said for Sarah Palin’s pastor.
I’ve decided the best course of action at this point is to use any time between work and family to actively organize for victory on November 4th by getting more involved in my local Neighborhood Team. Delaware Team 6. 7 precincts total. Lots of work to do.
If you have time, help organize your neighborhood. If you are able, volunteer. If you have money, donate. If you can talk, tell everyone you see to vote for Obama.
CSPAN is replaying the 2006 Alaska Gubernatorial Debate. It turns out Palin actually does really well. I hope everyone watches at least a part of this and the press starts raising their expectations for her in the upcoming VP debate.
The other thing I got from watching this video: people in Alaska DO NOT talk like they are from Fargo, donchaknow. Just Sarah Palin.
So where the hell did she get her accent?
UPDATE: about an hour in she says NEW-CUE-LER energy.
Later that day, Ms. Palin sent an e-mail message to her relatives and close friends about her new son, Ms. Bruce said. She signed it, ?Trig?s Creator, Your Heavenly Father.? | 2019-04-18T10:19:17 | http://plunderbund.com/2008/09/08/ |
During the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-centuries, the American South was home to one of the world's most renowned centers for the treatment of syphilis. Throughout this era, tens of thousands of syphilitic men and women sought treatment for their illnesses by traveling to the central Arkansas city of Hot Springs, whose near-boiling waters were thought to possess a therapeutic power capable of restoring the venereally-afflicted to health. Seeking to tap into its reputation as the “Mecca of the American Syphilitic,” in 1921 the United States Public Health Service (PHS) selected Hot Springs as the site of the country's first federally-operated VD clinic. Over the course of the next two decades, more than 60,000 venereal health-seekers (black as well as white, male as well as female) received free treatment for syphilis and/or gonorrhea at this model PHS facility, and their experiences provide new insights into the class-based, racial, and gendered aspects of the federal government's early twentieth-century public health work. Opened ten years before the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study (1932-1972) began, the story of the Hot Springs clinic illustrates how forcefully eugenics pervaded the PHS' campaigns against syphilis and gonorrhea.

Naval Group participates to LIMA – Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition. The group is showcasing its innovations created for modern navies, demonstrating its capabilities in modern military ship and submarine building along with high tech solutions for systems and competence as leading naval integrator.
In the above video, Naval Group’s Stéphane Fremont, Director of Surface Combatants Programs, gives us an update on the Gowind LCS Frigate program as well as its SETIS combat management system. Fadzli Razali, System Integration Engineer, tells us about the key strenghts of SETIS.
Gowind® is Naval Group’s response to 21st century defence and security challenges. The platform combines high survivability characteristics with outstanding anti-air (AAW), antisurface (ASuW) and anti-submarine (ASW) warfare performances thanks to the MU90 and to the CANTO®-V.
Naval Group combines unique platform and combat system skills to provide operational superiority and safety benefiting from the French Navy legacy. Naval Group contributes to strengthen the sovereignty of its customers through long-term partnerships, industrial cooperation and through-life support services, as proven by its strong credentials. Nine of the ten Gowind® vessels contracted are being built with foreign partners in Malaysia and Egypt. In December 2012, the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) contracted Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) for the construction of 6 Second Littoral Combat Ships, in Lumut, Malaysia, with Naval Group as main subcontractor.
Scorpène® is ideally suited for action and operational effectiveness. Robust and enduring, it’s an ocean-going submarine also designed for shallow waters operations. Multipurpose, it fulfils the entire scope of missions such as Anti-Surface and Anti-Submarine Warfare, special operations, offensive minelaying and intelligence gathering. The RMN had acquired 2 Scorpène® class submarines which are now maintained through BDNC JVC in which Naval Group is involved. In 10 years from now, BDNC has developed from scratch specific competences allowing Malaysia to increase its sovereignty in submarine capability, from routine maintenance to main overhaul (REFIT).
Belharra® is Naval Group’s answer to navies looking for a compact frigate to perform a large range of missions, stand-alone or within a task force, for high sea duration missions or for shallow water operation in congested and contested operational environment. Belharra® benefits from Naval Group centuries of experience ensuring unmatched stealth and outstanding detection capabilities. It features a robust platform, resilient systems and recoverability features that will enable it to retain operational capability following damage. This new frigate features high level capabilities in anti-air, anti-surface, anti-submarine, and asymmetric warfare domains as well as the access to deep strike capability. | 2019-04-20T03:28:13 | https://www.navalnews.com/event-news/lima-2019/2019/03/video-naval-group-at-lima-2019/ |

Flo Tempalski was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme, a grade IV brain tumor on October 31, 2006 and passed on October 7, 2007. Flo was 50 years of age with two children and three grandchildren. She was a loving part of our life, my sister and a lifelong best friend.
The Annual Flo's Chili Cook‐Off honors Flo by keeping her memory alive with a joyful celebration of her life. All donations and proceeds will benefit the JFK Brain Tumor Center, a comprehensive program for diagnosis, treatment, and management of brain and spinal tumors. To learn more click here.
Flo's experience with the disease was more than courageous – she sustained four major brain surgeries, and two dual spinal infections within six months of her diagnosis. She never let the disease stop her, her commitment and dedication to her family, friends, and community persisted regardless of her illness. Never complaining about her illness or the complications associated with it – Flo always stayed positive. Flo's grace, dignity, courage and love carried family and friends through the most difficult times of her illness. She was so special – Flo touched the life of everyone that knew her.
To date Flo's Chili Cook‐Off has raised over $20,000 ‐‐ money raised last year helped brain tumor patients pay for MRI's, insurance co‐pays and transportation for chemotherapy treatment. To become a participant or sponsor the chili cook-off please use the forms below. Thank you in advance for you support of this worthy cause!
More than 500 participants braved the morning sun in Roosevelt Park last Sunday for the 3rd Annual JFK Foundation Miles for Minds 5K and Fun Run/Walk. Runners and walkers alike received the official start signal from the Mayor of Edison Antonia Ricigliano. Other special guest runners/walkers included Freeholder Charles Tomaro and Councilman Tom Lankey.
Fundraising efforts by the JFK Medical Center Foundation benefit the JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute’s Center for Head Injuries. The Center for Head Injuries is nationally known as a pioneer in brain trauma evaluation and treatment. The Center restores real-life skills to those with head injuries so that they may return to their families and communities at the maximum level possible. Event proceeds will help purchase equipment and expand programs. | 2019-04-23T22:28:33 | https://www.jfkmc.org/clinical-services/jfk-johnson-rehabilitation-institute/35-jfk-foundation/events |
Gold futures have settled with moderate gains on the day. The most active August contract closed at $1250.90, up approximately $5.10. This gain occurs immediately following two trading days in which the lows have been at the 200-day moving average, and their respective closing prices were below the 61.8% retracement.
As such, the last four days, as seen through the eyes of Japanese candlesticks, can be identified by two distinct candlestick patterns. Both patterns indicate support and a potential bottom concluding the recent price decline.
The second pattern identified is a multi-candle pattern requiring a minimum of four candles, simply titled a “tower bottom.” A tower bottom occurs at low price levels after a correction. At some point in the correction, typically when the market becomes oversold, a series of equal lows will emerge, creating a short-term bottom. This will be followed by a bullish candle, which will complete the tower. It is the formation of the long candles before and after the tweezer bottoms that resemble a tower structure. This corresponds loosely to Western technicians “V” reversal pattern.
Recently we have noted that the current correction in gold was reaching critical areas. How gold acted at these areas would define our models and expectations for the future price of gold. The two key technical studies we were focusing on were the Fibonacci retracement of the recent correction, as well as current pricing in reference to the 200-day moving average. Simply put, both prices together represent a technical “line in the sand,” so to speak.
The fact that gold prices traded to the 200-day moving average, but did not break below that is significant. The fact that gold prices opened just above the 61.8% retracement of the prior rally is also significant. More importantly, these two technical studies, when combined with candlestick patterns, have clearly indicated a high probability that gold prices have in fact found support and will move to higher ground from this price point.
As you know over the last week and a half we have been looking at the real potential for the current correction to conclude.
As gold prices approached the 200 day moving average, it was critically important to see whether or not that price point would hold or not.
As such over the last few trading days we have seen technical confirmation of support and then in evening trading session here (morning session overseas), we noticed a uptick in gold pricing. That completed two candlestick patterns that typically are found during key reversals in the marketplace. That was the final requirement needed to trigger a by signal.
Today's video report will detail the patterns that unfolded as well as a rationale for our current stop placement. On tomorrow's show as well as next week we will begin to discuss are exit strategy. | 2019-04-20T20:46:31 | https://thegoldforecast.com/node/1699 |

In this video we look at some of these mindsets or paradigms and help you develop the necessary skills to resolve conflict, negotiate and generally work better with people.
As part of any work team, it is inevitable that you will face conflict at some stage in your working life. Whether you’re negotiating, resolving conflict or even just thrashing out a problem, there are particular mindsets or ways of thinking that can either help or hinder us in finding a solution to our problems. | 2019-04-19T19:01:51 | https://owenstewart.com/training-videos/resolving-difficult-situations/ |
Stabbing Pain in Chest – Doctor Finds Dental Brace in Gut – After 10 years in Bowel – Orthodontic Abdominal Piercing. A women in Australia could not remember having swallowed anything unusual but acute pains in her lower abdomen revealed the horrific consequences of an unknown ingestion over 10 years earlier (Report contains explicit medical photographs).
This week BMJ Case Reports (BMJ – formerly the British Medical Journal) published a report in which Dr Talia Shepherd described an unusual discovery in a female patient with severe abdominal pain.
Initially when the patient visited the hospital her medical adviser thought the problem was related to her gall bladder. They were able to alleviate the pain and send the woman home. She returned to the hospital two days later in absolute agony. The pain was so extreme that the doctor decided to give her a CT scan. This uncovered a long thin object which appeared to be embedded in her small intestine (see photo of CT scan).
Initially the physician thought this might be a fish bone – it had pierced the small bowel in several places causing the intestine to turn in on itself and prevented its normal movement – a condition known as Volvulus. If left untreated this can restrict blood flow to the area, eventually leading to the death and decay of this vital organ. A decision was made to open up the patient immediately to determine the exact cause of the damage and hopefully identify an appropriate course of action. The photo below shows what the medical team found when they opened up the woman’s abdomen (Medical photos: kind acknowledgements to BMJ Case Studies and Dr Talia Shepherd).
The piercing of the small intestine and the origin of the Volvulus was not a fish bone but a 7 cm piece of wire from an orthodontic brace.
What was particularly unusual about this finding was that it was 10 years since this 30 year old Australian lady had last worn a brace. She could not recall ever ingesting or losing part of her brace. The doctor assumed that the piece of metal had been sitting in the woman’s intestine for at least 10 years. It had only caused considerable pain recently, presumably when it pierced the woman’s small bowel.
It is very unusual for a piece of orthodontic brace to be swallowed and lead to serious problems in the gut. A few years ago doctors on Basel (Switzerland) identified what looked like a frog on the X-ray of a seven year old child’s throat. It turned out to be a frog shaped pendant that the child had swallowed and was removed by endoscopy under anaesthetic (see below for link to this and related X-ray pics).
This is the more usual condition of a brace after removal from a patient.
If you do swallow something that gives you cause for concern (or someone you knows does – like a child) seek medical advice as quickly as possible. Enjoy your lunch (but swallow carefully)!
Thanks Linda. The real issue for me here is how did the brace get into the lady’s gut in the first place? The medical report did not really provide much info on this (it was focused on encouraging doctors to use CT scans when faced with unexplained severe abdominal pains). The woman could not remember swallowing part of her brace but this is not something you would easily overlook (and her dentist should have noticed something missing during her next visit). Was she unconscious when it happened – perhaps a wild night…or maybe she was under anaesthetic? For me the most worrying scenario would be if an orthodontist accidentally ‘lost’ the piece of metal while the mouth was anaesthetised and either didn’t notice or decided not to say anything and hope for the best! Pure speculation of course! All the best, Chris. | 2019-04-21T08:17:55 | https://chrisduggleby.com/2017/08/10/stabbing-pain-in-chest-doctor-finds-dental-brace-in-gut-after-10-years-in-bowel-orthodontic-abdominal-piercing/ |

You might get involved in a situation which might lead to just that.
Some news or information from your surroundings might improve your mood.
You are able to instinctively say just the thing that is appropriate in any situation, and that is why this period might be conducive for discussions, interviews or negotiations.
One of your strong suits will be also your current ability to listen.

These activities encourage us to tune into our natural surroundings by sharpening the senses of sight, hearing, touch, and smell and to practice being a quiet observer. They can take place anywhere along the trail, but work best if you can find a quiet place away from other people. The only equipment needed are a pencil, piece of paper or index card for one of the activities.
Find something you want to examine closely such as an animal burrow, animal tracks, a tree branch, cactus spines, a flower, or an insect. Sit, kneel, or lie on the ground. Take five minutes to carefully look at the area you are examining. How many things do you observe? Tune out everything else around you.
Learn to develop peripheral vision so you notice things even though you are not looking directly at them. Animals do this well. Stare at a spot on the horizon such as a mountain peak, but be aware of any movement you see to the sides. Momentarily look at what caught your attention (branch moving, bird or insect flying, etc.) then focus back at the mountain.
You can use peripheral vision while walking, too, and learn to notice sights along the trail without looking at your feet. Often we stare at our feet and the ground ahead of us while we walk, and miss seeing other things. Walk down a trail, but do not look at your feet. Look ahead or to the side of the trail. By using peripheral vision, you can be aware of what is on the trail just beyond you - a rock, a bend in the trail, or an overhanging branch. This takes a little practice, but soon you will find you can safely walk and look around you at the same time.
Hear with Coyote Ears: Magnifying the sounds you hear.
Have you ever watched your dog or perhaps a wild animal such as a deer, coyote, or rabbit as they listen for sounds? The outer ears are large and they rotate towards the direction of sound.
Practice listening as if you are a wild animal. Standing very still, cup your hands behind your ears and notice the magnification of sound. The sounds of bird calls, buzzing insects around flowers, or wind in the trees are much louder. Listen with and without cupping your ears and you will notice quite a difference.
Walk Like a Bobcat: Learning to walk softly.
Animals walk quietly. It is one way to avoid predators, or to be a predator - hunting prey without the prey hearing. We humans are usually not quiet walkers. We clomp along making noise, raising dust, and moving branches.
Practice walking as an animal would walk if it doesn't want to be noticed. That means very, very slowly and very, very quietly. Rotate your foot slowly from heel to toe or, rather than using your whole foot, walk only on your toes, and walk so slowly that there is no sound.
Nature's Music: Recording the sounds you hear.
You will need a pencil and a small piece of paper or an index card for each person.
Find a spot away from everyone else. Sit on the ground and listen to the sounds around you. Make marks on the paper that illustrate the sounds you hear. Children make up their own marks - whatever they think would be the best representation for the sound. Wavy lines for the rustling of wind in leaves, dashes for the staccato call of a cactus wren are a few examples.
At the end of the listening time, share the sounds by showing the markings on the paper. Your family will remember the sounds from these marks for a long time. You may wish to save the cards in your album where you can look at them months later and recall the desert sounds.
I Am a Camera: Looking at our surroundings in different ways.
Some cameras have different lenses for different perspectives depending upon how the photographer wants to compose a scene. This may be a wide view showing the entire vast scene, or maybe a closer view of only a few objects, or maybe a very close look at a tiny part of the scene that we wouldn't ordinarily notice. By pretending to be cameras we can practice looking at the world in different ways.
Wide angle lens - look straight ahead, hold your arms to your sides at eye level. Slowly bring your arms forward and stop when you see both thumbs. That's your widest angle lens. Using this "lens" let your eyes take in the scene, constantly moving only your eyes. Do not focus on any one thing, just get a general impression of the scene.
Telephoto lens - make a telephoto lens by making a tube with both hands by curving your fingers and placing one hand in front of the other. Hold the tube to your eye. Find a small piece of the scene before you and concentrate on that. What do you see now?
Macro lens - hold up one hand, fingers curved into a tube. Walk up to a plant and look at a small object up close.
Touching Nature: Discovering different textures in nature.
Touch the plants, rocks, and soil around us and feel the different textures. The sense of touch will also help you learn about the things you see. You may use your fingers, but use other parts too, such as the back of your hand, cheek, and nose.
Make a texture collection. Collect examples of different textures and fasten them to a board, or arrange them in egg cartons. Caution: Collect only items that are not spiny or otherwise dangerous, take care not to remove anything that would damage an animal's home or destroy a plant, and collect only where it is legal to do so.
Smell is also an important part of your sensory explorations. The creosote bush is the plant that comes to mind first because it gives off the distinct odor we associate with desert rain, but many other plants give off aromas as well. These techniques will help you smell the desert.
Cup your hands around a branch. Blow on the leaves and sniff.
Scratch a leaf and sniff the place where you made the scratch.
Rub a leaf or two between your fingers and sniff your fingers.
You will discover that some plants treat you with delightful odors, while others may be pungent or have no odor at all. | 2019-04-21T16:52:51 | http://desertmuseum.org/books/goguide_tuning.php |
Here I'm sharing some pictures and a short video of our mini trip from Monday (February 25) that we made to practice and talk about firearms safety with our son.
"TEACH YOUR KIDS ABOUT FIREARMS SAFETY"
Today we played with pulleys by getting our lizard friends up in the tree.
We search for sticks, rocks, acorns, and other things to create a shelter in the mud for our lizard Leo.
Today Alfredito and I went to our 1st Tinkergarten class. It was great to go outside and learn while playing.
"Tinkergarten is on a mission to elevate childhood. We’re growing a technology-enabled network of leaders that bring families together in a natural place in their community for classes where kids learn through play. Each class becomes a tight-knit group of children and adults who learn together through well-designed, outdoor play-based activities. We help kids develop a host of important capabilities, including empathy, collaboration, creativity, persistence and problem solving. Our expert-designed classes and activities help kids ages 18 months—8 years develop core life skills while enjoying healthy, fun, engaging experiences in the physical freedom of local green spaces."
Our Tinkergarten Teacher is Ashley Deer. Alfredo was shy at the beginning of the class and she knew exactly what to do. He started participating and enjoying all the activities.
Alfredo practice his focus skills during the lizard hunt.
This is our 4th visit to Vail, Colorado! We enjoy the peacefulness of the place.

and Left Hand. At one point I forge a low-water bridge flush with the stony stream, golden yellow shelves of poplar and hickory and oak above me. Elsewhere, up out of the run now, bright breaks of green pasture here and there show a farm hanging on. Five miles further along, window down, a dun-gray pair of wings detaches itself from the autumn mosaic of leaves — a huge red-tailed hawk trailing its feathered shadow above me. | 2019-04-24T10:22:38 | https://fluentmagazine.org/three-prose-pieces/ |

The APC has just won the presidential elections and the transition is yet to take place, but is scheduled for June 12, 2019. It is interesting to note however that Nigerians have already started talking about 2023 and what would happen after the four years of Buhari’s second term. Discussions on the 2023 presidency and elections within the APC have already begun. In politics, such early discussions are not out of place, but indeed seen to be healthy. Such thoughts help create or stimulate debates and bring about ideas on how best the nation can move forward politically or otherwise. It is for such reasons that many welcome the postulations on the 2023 presidency or election, especially for the APC as a political party, and the ruling party in Nigeria at the moment.
APC as a political party, it could be recalled came into existence as a result of the fusion of other parties and interest groups; prominent among which include the CPC, ACN and ANPP, which were parties that were under the leadership of various people. The CPC was Buhari’s party, ACN was then led by Bola Tinubu and ANPP was an old party that had structures across the country but lost relevance after Buhari exited the party in 2010 and formed the CPC. The fusion of these groups gave birth to the APC ahead of the 2015 elections after previous attempts for the merger had failed. The aim of the merger of these parties was to create a broad based platform that would challenge and ultimately defeat and replace the PDP government that has been in power since the inception of democratic rule in 1999. The need to replace the PDP and ensure that it was removed from power was considered necessary by the various personalities that were members of the different parties that merged to form the APC. One will not be wrong to say that it was the ‘national interest’ that led to the founding of the APC. The various personalities saw the need to take control of the country and rescue it from the misgovernance and corruption of the PDP led government.
After the successful merger ahead of the 2015 elections, the new party presented Buhari as its candidate. The choice Buhari, even before the merger as likely candidate was also based on the ‘national interest’. It was based on the belief that Buhari was honest, prudent and patriotic, and that he would stop corruption and put the country on the right track. The party became successful in the election and Buhari became the president. By this, the APC had achieved its main objective of challenging and defeating the PDP and taking over the administration of the country. This it succeeded again in doing in the 2019 elections, after Buhari’s first four years. Here we are not talking about whether the party had fulfilled its promise for correcting the wrongs of the PDP government. The expectations of Nigerians on the APC are definitely very huge, and even now many believe that the APC needs to do a lot to fix the rot in the country. After such achievement what more does the APC want to achieve? Many believe that at the moment what the party needs to achieve is to strive and consolidate and build a truly national political party that will be acceptable throughout the country.
The APC, though emerging from a fusion of basically regionally dominant political parties such as the CPC and the ACN; the former dominant in the north and the latter, the south west of Nigeria, substantial votes scored by the APC in the 2019 presidential elections in the south east and south regions of the country suggest that the party is emerging as a truly national political party. As a result the APC must utilize its platform to promote the unity of the country and remain focused on its aims and objectives. The party must never forget that it was the ‘national interest that was behind its formation, and that it should remain the guide of the party in whatever decisions it is going to make, now or in 2023. Regional consideration no matter how justifiable must be guided by the national interest. After all, the party had claimed since its creation that it was an association of progressive minds, whose aim was to capture power and propel the country to prosperity and greatness. Consequently, the party must be careful about how and why it considers certain people or candidates to certain positions. It must be understood clearly that though zoning has become a common feature of Nigerian politics, credibility, capacity, uprightness and other virtuous qualities must still remain the yardstick of the party in consideration of candidates for various positions, including that of the exalted office of the president.
It should not matter to the party if a credible candidate is coming either from the south-east or south-south, if he has what it takes to provide the needed leadership of the country. And for such reasons the APC must tread carefully and embrace all and provide a level playing field for all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, region or religion. The party must give away regional, ethnic and religious sentiments if ever it wishes to remain a national party and the choice of majority of Nigerians or else it may not last as long as the mighty PDP that is now an opposition party which had been in power for approximately sixteen years previously. The APC must henceforth seize to appear as either a northern/south west political platform. And all those making postulations on the 2023 elections must understand that as citizens it is our responsibility to build a truly united country. The APC must set an example and show Nigerians that it believes in the unity and ability of Nigerian as citizens and make the party a home for all and its positions available to all people of character and ability.

Mad Meg is a charming, poetic piece about two sisters: Martha, who was as warm as the sun, and Meg who was as moody as the moon. When Simon shows up at their farm, Meg is immediately taken with the stranger. Simon, however, falls in love with Martha. This enrages Meg, who curses the town and stops the river.
“The villagers now locked their doors, afraid of Mad Meg on the Moor.
To teir children they sometimes said, Mad Meg’ll get you if you don’t go to bed. | 2019-04-25T23:56:59 | http://playsforyoungaudiences.org/scripts/mad-meg/ |
Historicizing writing publics helps students defamiliarize the present and ask important questions about power relations, changes in culture, old and new technologies, and writing processes. For this reason, I often ask students to work with primary source material by searching and browsing physical and digital archives in our libraries and the surrounding community. In my DIY Publishing course, for example, students begin the Tactile Proof unit by visiting the Special Collections Resource Center (SCRC) searching for an example of independent publishing and asking questions related to its origins, materiality, circulation, conflicts, audience, and significance. They then represent their findings by publishing a program for their classmates.
Building (slowly) toward multimodal/public engagement.
While my courses don’t always have a public dimension, I often try to engage students with audiences that are real using modes beyond the alphabetic. Sometimes this means asking writers to gift or read their writing to classmates, develop an oral history project, or work in groups to assess the usability of a lego project. But the bigger projects involve collaborating with outside stakeholders, especially libraries, using their resources and public presence to circulate writing that has a future beyond the classroom. This includes pairing students with children from the Somali-Bantu community (as my peer consultants did in Advanced Peer Consulting), remixing audio tracks from the public domain to make a short form radio program (as my students did for my take on Syracuse’s required research course), or considering the library as an amateur makerspace. This is predicated, in part, on an approach that Kristin Arola dubs “slow composition,” a practice of mindfulness that foregrounds “a consideration of the materials with which we compose, the relations between these objects, and our role in the creation of texts.” Often this happens using a blend of experimentation and reflection.
Using amateur texts for readings and analysis.
Perhaps influenced by DIY’s snotty anti-corporate stance, I often try to counterbalance the overwhelming amount of influence the culture industry has in our classes through textbooks and anthologies by introducing students to everyday writers and freely available resources, including each other. Part of this means asking them to order cheap print zines from independent distributors (“distros”) like Pioneer’s Press and Quimby’s of Chicago, but also posting their work on their blogs (not Blackboard), Twitter, and circulating printed copies of zines they made of their creative nonfiction.
Ever since I made my first WordPress course in 2012, I have designed nearly all subsequent syllabi using this platform. The advantages to this are many: it is adaptive, open source, and free; it produces a historical record of our work together; it allows us to more readily incorporate public tools and links; it boosts transparency; and — perhaps most importantly — makes me a more effective teacher of WordPress (a CMS that is used by more than 80% of the web). But my commitment to responsive syllabi goes beyond this particular interface. I often use synchronous-but-anonymous open Google Docs for midterm assessments, Google Forms for peer evaluation and surveys, and adjust our calendar based on student feedback — a strategy enabled by Wordpress’s user-centered design. | 2019-04-18T20:49:16 | https://www.jasonluther.net/common-strategies/ |

Sociopaths are pervasive in contemporary television, from high-brow drama all the way down to cartoons -- and of course the news as well. From the scheming Eric Cartman of South Park to the seductive imposter Don Draper of Mad Men, cold and ruthless characters captivate us, making us wish that we could be so effective and successful. Yet why should we admire characters who get ahead by being amoral and uncaring? In his follow-up to Awkwardness, Adam Kotsko argues that the popularity of the ruthless sociopath reflects our dissatisfaction with a failed social contract, showing that we believe that the world rewards the evil and uncaring rather than the good. By analyzing characters like the serial killer star of Dexter and the cynical Dr. House, Kotsko shows that the fantasy of the sociopath distracts us from our real problems -- but that we still might benefit from being a little more sociopathic.
What is it about our society, which makes sociopaths, i.e., the kind of ruthless individuals who make their own rules, so appealing? With his usual acuity, Adam Kotsko gives an analysis of contemporary TV shows (South Park, Mad Men, The Wire, etc.) to make the case that depictions of social disconnection are especially seductive at a time when our own society has become ever more destructive and amoral. Kotsko provokes us in suggesting how we might combine and reshape several features of the television sociopath, so that we might break the hold of the societal norms prevalent in late capitalism. | 2019-04-22T20:53:56 | https://www.johnhuntpublishing.com/zer0-books/our-books/why-we-love-sociopaths |

Hobbes and I decided that we needed to check out Japan.
Hobbes and I decided that we needed to check out Japan. Visiting our longtime friend Levi was a good excuse to set everything aside and occupy a country where being white is a visual minority. When I stepped off the plane in Tokyo, I knewI was going to be an oddity.
I’ve spent four days already on a foreign continent. I haven’t encountered anyone else with neck tattoos and cowboy boots.However, I have seen two people with noticeable tattoos: one Japanese gentleman (I saw in the Ueno area) had a singles leeve of tattoos; the other person was a Japanese girl living in the same building as Levi.
Tattoos or irezumi are still heavily associated with the Japanese underworld, with miscreants, with the yakuza. I look like a North American super villain.
I am writing this column from Levi’s dorm room. His room or, as we have been jokingly calling it, his dojo is a four story share residence in Nishi-Funabashi on the outskirts of Tokyo. I discovered that these share residences or share homes are not that common in this country. Places that are uncommon tend to attract uncommon people—people like my group of friends.
The building Levi is living in operates like a quasi-hostel, but this place is cleaner, everyone has their own room, and everyone wears slippers. Hobbes and I have been sleeping sprawled out on Levi’s bamboo laminate floor.
Levi is a white guy and has been working in Japan as a geologist since January. He received his Master’s Degree from the University of Alberta last winter and got on board with a one year program to work abroad. Levi works in an office; and from what I understand, he basically builds maps and attempts to figure out how oil and gas are interacting in a reservoir.
My friend Hobbes and I had to sell our souls to afford to visit our friend. At the moment we are all taking a break from one another to enjoy a quiet moment to ourselves.
I’ll admit that writing this column is difficult. If it wasn’t for the air conditioning in Levi’s room, I’d be dead from the heat and humidity in this country. It also doesn’t help that I’m in a perpetual sake hangover, with a heavy dose of jet lag.
All personal aliments aside, the language barrier is pretty dense. I don’t speak Japanese, nor do I understand any of the Kanji symbols. Thankfully there is a lot of Romanji on signs and such: Romanji is basically Japanese spelled out in letters I understand.
Speaking and receiving Japanese hasn’t been easy. I know some very basic phrases. I have a difficult time thinking and then articulating Japanese. When I think of something to say in English, I can ‘hear’ my voice in my head saying the words; then I say the phrase in English — it’s easy. When I think of something to say in Japanese, I hear Levi’s voice saying the words in my head, and it comes out of my larynx all garbled. Being immersed in a foreign language has been an interesting experience.
I did my best, one night, to describe Hawaiian pizza in English to a handful of Japanese girls who live in the share residence.It didn’t help that both parties had enough sake to dissolve two separate languages into a hot mess of words. | 2019-04-21T00:12:06 | https://www.rimbeyreview.com/opinion/watashi-wa-nihon-ni-imasu-i-am-in-japan/ |

Syrinx has performed an information security policy gap analysis for VCU, and has done an exceptional job at doing so. We were able to take the succinct and prioritized recommendations from the analysis and immediately develop action plans around them. I would recommend Syrinx technologies for security assessments. | 2019-04-22T17:02:50 | http://www.syrinxtech.com/testimonials/virginia-commonwealth-university |
Noted international dressage coach Conrad Schumacher travels to the Pacific Northwest from Germany in the Spring and Fall, so many riders look forward to his visits throughout the year. Deborah has been riding with Conrad for five years, and it was our pleasure here at Quailhurst to host three days of clinic rides and auditing for Northwest Oregon equestrians, many of whom who had not previously had the opportunity to learn from this master teacher.
Conrad’s clinic sessions always place a fundamental emphasis on the consistency of the contact and the security it provides the horse. Achieving contact via a forward going horse and correct rider position were the common focus throughout Day 1 rides.
Work over poles are another hallmark Schumacher exercise, such as the four poles on a 20 meter circle that riders navigated on Day 2. “Painfully obvious” was how Conrad described the exercise and its effectiveness on placing the horse on the outside aids was evident in rider after rider.
For auditors, Conrad offered a thorough and accessible explanation of what he was asking each rider to do and why, with phrases that were simple and easy to remember. “You cannot have impulsion without contact” and the important rider characteristics of “tranquility & determination” were common refrains during the three days, as auditors scribbled these and other gems into their notes. Both the uninitiated and repeat Conrad auditors can’t help but giggle at one of his favorite booming exclamations – “Seeking Mushrooms!” – as a horse drops its nose to the footing, fully stretching its neck and back after a good session of work.
Thank you to all the riders , more than 50 auditors who joined us over the three days, and especially to Gail Van Dermoere who organized the clinic. Deborah received numerous emails from attendees, many of whom expressed this as one of their best clinic experiences ever, and it was truly a pleasure to host everyone for this very educational event.
Mr. Schumacher trained young riders for USET from 1991-95, and since 1997, he has trained European Championship, World Championship, and Olympic riders including Ellen Bontje and Sven and Gonnelien Rothenberger. At the 1996 Olympics, he coached Ven and Gonnelien to their silver medal team finish for the Netherlands, and Sven to his individual bronze medal. From 1979 to 1989 he trained the European Young Rider Championship first-place team and individual medal winners. He has been the official trainer to the British World Equestrian and Olympic teams. He served as the exclusive trainer to the USDF Advanced Young Riders through 2004. In 1999, he conducted the USDF National Dressage Symposium and was featured at the 2000 Trainers’ Conference. In all, Schumacher’s students have won over 40 international medals.
The international dressage blog Eurodressage has an excellent article about Mr. Schumacher’s training system and philosophies here.

I am inspired by the natural structural forms that surround us and the forms we chose to surround ourselves with. Trees and buildings respond to the same laws of physics and nature and are technically very similar to draw. The challenge for me as an artist is to capture the main features of a view using black ink. I have developed techniques by drawing many portraits of structures which expand the range that a pen provides further than simply dots and lines.
This site houses a small selection of my ink drawings which are produced on either linen paper or canvas. Prices start from as little as £50 so please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss any ideas that you would like to see produced in ink.
I sell some of my local art through Art at 88 in Berkhamsted and I attend art shows and exhibitions. I can provide you with a unique picture of your property or a limited canvas print of a town centre or natural landscape.
My gallery here has three rooms, please wander through them at your leisure.
The panoramic pictures are 122cm x 14cm and are reproduced on canvas. Pictures in the other rooms are all approximately A4 size on linen paper. | 2019-04-24T21:58:55 | http://www.clivebaxterart.co.uk/?page_id=11 |

Ignacio sheepman J. Paul Brown is now the second Republican in the race to try to keep Rep. Ellen Roberts’ House District 59 seat in the hands of the GOP.
Durango Democrat Brian O’Donnell will have a challenger for his bid to replace Ellen Roberts as the region’s representative to the state House.
“What a hatchet job the Republican Party – along with The Durango Herald – did on Lew Webb, the one-time candidate for the state representative of the 59th District,” Paul Bynum writes.
Republican Lew Webb has dropped out of the race to replace Ellen Roberts as state representative for the 59th District because local GOP party leaders deemed him too conservative, he said Wednesday. | 2019-04-24T20:11:06 | http://statebillnews.com/tag/house-district-59/ |

When I was a child, mom used to take me (and later, my little sister and me) to church. We were raised Lutheran, and raised in a very small church; my confirmation class had three people in it, including myself. I continued attending church until I graduated from high school, mostly because it was normal in our house and because I was a part of the choir, which I loved.
I stopped going to church at age 17, and haven’t been since, with unfortunate exception for religious funerals.
However, this morning I was watching some documentaries (my solution for boredom during my bouts of insomnia), including one (mediocre) called “The One Percent” and one (outstanding), “The Black Power Mixtape”, thinking about privilege. In a lot of ways, privilege is like the old story of talents.
Your skin color, your class at birth, your family of origin – these are things over which we have no control. We do have control over what we do, especially those born into privileged classes, racial strata etc. If you are born white, you can’t change and decide to be born black. You can choose to use your privilege to give opportunity to people who may not otherwise have a voice.
People who think this way need to burn for justice. We need to speak louder, use our place and our voices to amplify those marginalized by oppression. We need to remember our history and learn the lessons of Malcolm X, of Attica prison, of the Soledad brothers, of Angela Davis, of bell hooks. This is not anti-American. This is pro-American people.
When our time here is done, and we are asked what we have done to make this world better with our privilege and talents, how will you answer?
Okay, the title is way more important sounding than this post will be, but bear with me.
Last weekend I was in another state and became very ill. Severely ill. Like, three days of nastiness. While the cause of my disgusting escapades is still unclear (most likely alcohol + woman times + flu), the whole thing got me thinking about sickness and who is in charge of you when you’re sick.
Now, this is fine advice. And probably accurate; being sick is amazingly dehydrating. But it’s not really a great idea to pour a couple glasses of water into an empty, heaving, already queasy stomach. Despite my insistance that water was not really sounding that great and that slamming a glass or two wasn’t the best idea, this friend insisted (and narrowly avoiding it coming right back up).
Grossness of that story aside, it bothered me that this friend didn’t listen to me, emphatically telling him this advice was maybe not the greatest for me at this point in time. Why did he insist? Why didn’t he ask my preferences? Why didn’t he listen even after I was violently ill after following this advice? | 2019-04-19T15:22:34 | https://theshamedynamic.com/2014/10/ |

Are you surprised to hear that heart disease is the biggest cause of death in women in Australia?
Kiama Council and the Heart Foundation have teamed up for the month of June to shine a light on a ‘hidden killer’ of Australian women.
Deputy Mayor Kathy Rice, long an advocate of Healthy Cities, says she was surprised, even though she has known of women who have died that way.
“I think most people would naturally assume that breast cancer was the bigger killer,” she says.
She says many women ignore the symptoms because their importance isn’t recognised.
“Some of the symptoms could easily be dismissed by a woman leading a busy life, causing them to not seek help early enough.
The Heart Foundation’s Andy Mark says the campaign got its name because heart disease amongst women does not get the publicity that it deserves.
“This June we are asking people to learn more about this ‘hidden killer’ and spread the word so we can start doing something more about it,” he says.
Councillor Rice encourages women to take simple steps to avoid heart disease.
“The Kiama Leisure Centre, and many other gyms offer programs designed for women to avoid heart disease.
A 2010 national report on Australian women found that the most common risk factors affecting women were high cholesterol, high rates of overweight and obesity and high rates of physical inactivity. Research also shows that smoking, poorly controlled diabetes and depression are greater risk factors of heart disease for women than men.

Nutopian Embassy! One White Street for Sale!
One White Street represents a unique opportunity to own a piece of New York City mythology and Beatles lore. This four-story Tribeca townhouse, built in 1808, has enjoyed several incarnations – it has been everything from the headquarters of a rubber concern to the home of the Guerilla Art Action Group. Perhaps its most famous (if briefest) incarnation was as the Nutopian Embassy. In an attempt to avoid deportation in 1973, John Lennon and Yoko Ono applied to the UN for “diplomatic immunity” as ambassadors of the “conceptual country” of Nutopia. They called a press conference on April Fools’ Day to announce the creation of Nutopia and specified that the Embassy was located at One White Street. The Nutopian declaration was also included in the liner notes of Lennon’s Mind Games album. The current owners still receive letters of sympathy intended for Yoko Ono, and the house is occasionally photographed by John Lennon fans.
Since its last purchase, the building has been gradually renovated into an owner’s triplex with rental income from a soup and sandwich restaurant on the ground floor. The owners have designed an interior in keeping with the artistically eclectic ethos of the property. The numerous casement windows on the 43-foot-long White Street facade are ingeniously utilized to create wide, light-drenched spaces. Cheerful colors and varied rough-hewn materials, along with a wood-burning fireplace and rustic original pine floors, manage to convince you that you have escaped from a Manhattan townhouse to a Northern Californian bungalow. The roof garden only partially breaks this illusion. With potted evergreens and rosebushes at your feet, you are almost surprised by the vista of vibrant and bustling Tribeca, one of the trendiest and most exclusive neighborhoods in lower Manhattan. Create a single-family townhouse or live in triplex plus terrific rental income.

Description Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia, and it has a high prevalence in western societies. As people are living longer, dementia has become a growing concern particularly for the elderly population. More research is being conducted to better understand Alzheimer’s in an effort to cure it. Presently, there is no known cure for the disease, and no consistently effective treatments that halts the progression of the disease. Clinical features, pathophysiology, and epidemiology are explored along with potential causes, methods of diagnosis, and current treatments. New research containing potential future directions for the development of treatments will also be discussed. | 2019-04-21T11:08:39 | https://scholarworks.unr.edu/handle/11714/601?show=full |
