These mini message treat bags would also be sweet to use for birthday party treats, wedding favors, and church or school events. I designed them to be gender neutral, too.
Finished interior size is approximately 4.75 x 2.75 inches.
You can download the printable treat bag templates shown in this post at the end of the tutorial.
Once you have downloaded the printable file, you can select which treat bags you want to print by printing only the pages you want in your printer dialog box. If you want to print all the colors, just print the whole document on your 8.5x11 text weight paper.
Once you have all your templates printed, you will want to score them. You can get away with not scoring if you fold them just right, but scoring makes it easier to fold accurately, and I recommend scoring for best results.
Using your mat, ruler, and scoring tool, line up your ruler along scoring lines and score.
Do this for all the folding areas on the template.
Next, you will need to cut out your template along the outside border of the design.
To get your mini valentine treat bags ready to glue, fold and press all scoring lines until your template looks like the one shown here.
Using your glue stick or crafter’s tape, run adhesive along the the side.
Press to hold it together.
Do the same for the bottom of the bag, and fold up.
Turn your assembled mini valentine treat bag over and fill with your favorite small candies or non- candy valentine items such as crayons.
Put a dab of tape on the top flap to close. Then, choose which faux “paper tape” you want to use. There is a solid color, or a blank one you can write on. You can also accessorize your tape with glue and colored glitter, or use matching colored washi tape instead! |
SSX has taken its sweet time to arrive on this generation of consoles, but the wait was well worth it.
Beautifully reconstructed and detailed mountain ranges, simple yet elegant control scheme, fantastic campaign and events, Deadly Descents are exhilarating and enjoyable, slopes feel real and offer multiple routes and lines, tons of equipment to buy, very interesting take on multiplayer, tons of content to keep you busy for months and months, the same fantastic SSX gameplay you know and love, Squirrel Suits!
Obscene lack of split-screen multiplayer, some survival events can get frustrating, weird micro-transactions.
Get up, get in your car, drive to your favourite games store, present money, go home with SSX. Alternatively, order it online. Basically, get this game, now.
Despite never owning a single SSX title until now, I have always been a massive fan of the franchise. SSX Tricky is forever engraved in my mind as one of the best sports games I have ever played, and I have waited a long, long time for the mighty snowboarding franchise to land on this generation of consoles. Having done that this past Friday, I can honestly say without a doubt that SSX is the finest entry this franchise has ever produced, and possibly one of the greatest sports games ever released. A few odd design and feature choices may upset fans of good-natured multiplayer action, but if your fix for an exhilarating, breathtaking and extremely enjoyable sports game has gone long unchecked, then SSX is the perfect title to get your gaming adrenaline pumping once more. The nine Deadly Descents are marvels themselves, and depict SSX action in its finest form.
Unlike many other entries into the series, SSX actually offers some background and story to guide you through the nine Deadly Descents presented before you in the single-player portion of the game. This is truly a reboot in the essence of the word, and players who are only encountering SSX for their first time now won’t feel as though they’re being forced to watch from the outside. Each and every returning character is given a brief backstory, introducing you to the entire SSX Team and their addictions to pushing the limits. The story has Team SSX racing around the world as they seek to ride all nine “Deadly Descents”. These are mountain ranges and routes that are some of the most deadly snowboarding drops around the world, each with their own unique theme of danger. Ex SSX member Griffin is out to get back at his old team and promote his own, which leads to a race against time to see who can conquer all nine drops first. It’s all really cliché and uninspired, but if you came to SSX looking for something different, then you’re in the wrong place. That’s like putting down the FIFA name because of its lack of a narrative.
What is important is that the single-player portion of the game does a great job of plunging you into the world of Snowboard, Surfing and Motocross, or SSX for short. Don’t get ahead of yourself though, this title features just one of SSX’s disciplines, but I’m hoping future titles will be more ambitious and hopefully branch out into the remaining two. Despite being confined to one type of extreme sport, there is still tons of variety to be had with the campaign. Events are usually only split into two different modes, namely Race It and Trick It, which either involves a race down a slope or a contest of uber tricks and massive combos respectively. This may not seem like much variety, but when you see just how different each and every mountain slope is, you’ll soon realise that they themselves provide variety enough. On top of this, each locale has specific survival and special events, which usually incorporate a deadly part of nature into them. Having limited oxygen on Everest or massive cliffs in Patagonia are some examples, and having nine very different threats really evolve your play style in interesting ways.
Deadly Descents make up part of the icing under the SSX cake. In these events, nature is your only competitor, and your objective is simple; Survival. Each event has one aspect of nature working its hardest to see you fail, whether it is gravity, tress, rocks, avalanches, oxygen or darkness. In these types of events, the gear you equip is almost just as important as the skill you bring, as having inadequate gear could mean the difference between success and failures. Before you set out on these or any other event, you’re able to customize your chosen boarder with a selection of apparel, boards, special gear and more. Most of the required gear is usually given to you during the story, but coming back to past events presents medal challenges that will require better and more expensive gear. The store only stocks four types of each item, which is a bit silly at some points, as you’ll have to buy utterly useless gear in the hope that a better piece appears in its place. Credits to spend at these stores are earned while doing events, and before you know it you’ll be up to your neck in unspent credits, especially if you plan to keep your SSX experience offline all the time.
While most of the challenges presented by Deadly Descents feel cleverly designed and well implemented, some tend to feel more like an annoyance than anything else. For example, staying in the sun while riding in Antarctica because of the extremely cold temperatures directly affects how your descent will turn out, and forces you to adapt your riding style in a clever way. On the other hand, dropping you into a horribly lit network of caves in Kilimanjaro with only a headlight might seem like a frightening and equally exhilarating idea, but in practice it only serves to frustrate you immensely when run after run you’re forced to restart due to always finding yourself falling off unseen cliffs. This type of frustration can be said for Oxygen events as well, and Avalanche events aren’t as cinematic and exciting as I thought they would be. However, events that give you access to “Squirrel Suits” are extremely enjoyable, and soaring through the air for hundreds of meters at a time is such a joy, especially since controlling this flight feels so natural. Ice events are equally fun, and narrowly missing icy edges just after your ice picks get really dug in is heart stopping fun. After completing these events, you’re able to take any piece of gear into previous and future events, allowing you to tweak each and every slope experience.
But an SSX game could have all of this and more, but without its signature blend of fast boarding with massive tricks, it would still be nothing. Thankfully, SSX does not fall short in this department at all. In fact, snowboarding is probably at its finest it ever has been in SSX. Racing down mountains still gives you an unbelievable sense of speed, and pulling off various tricks and turns is as elegant and simple as ever. For those of you who are hardened SSX veterans, you’ll be pleased to know that EA have kept your control scheme intact for you to enjoy, but the button layout might just tempt you to change your ways. Using just three buttons, you’re able to pull off an impressive array of tricks, and holding either R2 or the Right Trigger further tweaks each and every move. Pull enough off in a combo and you’ll achieve “Tricky” status, allowing you to turn each of your tricks into Uber tricks for a massive points boost. Continue this combo and you’ll soon hit “Super Tricky”, which allows you to pull off all those mind-blowing Super Uber tricks the series has become famous for. Break dancing in midair, spinning a board around your neck and kicking it away from you are just some of a few signature tricks that you’ll see, and with each rider having different unique tricks, you’re bound to see some even more spectacular. It’s the SSX formula as you know it, but it feels refined in many ways. It’s smoother, more responsive and pulling off spins and flips is faster than ever. It wasn’t broken, and I’m glad EA didn’t feel the need to fix it.
Added to this formula is a rewind feature, which is similar to those you’d expect to find in modern racers. In most events, you’ll be able to rewind indefinitely, but all of this time bending power comes at a price. During race events, you’re able to rewind as much as you want, but only you will be affected. The remaining racers will continue on forward while you go backwards, greatly disadvantaging you if you constantly use it. In trick events, points are deducted each time you use a rewind, which could mean the difference between first and second, especially when you take into account just how difficult the computer A.I is. In survival events, you’re given a limited number of rewinds, but consequences when using them are gone, since you aren’t really competing against anyone but nature herself. You’ll probably find yourself using these rewinds mostly in trick events, as having a massive combo multiplier disappear after one too many flips is often so heartbreaking, that a small hit on your total points may not really even bother you if you nail the landing the second time around.
What has been given a bit of a facelift however is the slopes and routes you’ll be tricking it out in. In previous titles, most of these tracks were artificially created and imagined, and although they were extremely fun to board in, they gave the game a bit of an arcade feel. This time around, each slope is recreated from actual mountain ranges and drops, such as the Himalayas, the Alps and Antarctica. There are numerous locales around the world that you can visit, but the best part is that each of these slopes feels completely real. Numerous paths can be taken while descending, and most of the time you’ll find yourself experimenting with new and different routes in order to find the best line. Some paths are considerably more dangerous than others, and listening to your helicopter pilot will save you more often than not, especially in survival events. These realistic representations of slopes are probably the only bit of realism injected into SSX, but it feels just right. Having slopes intertwine and cycle between day and night actually changes the way you’ll play it, and finding different lines that complement tricks and races will keep you replaying them over and over again.
SSX might not be the most technically proficient game when it comes to visuals, but that doesn’t keep it from looking spectacular. Tricks are flashy and vibrant, with blue and yellow glowing trails following you when in Tricky mode. Equipping boarders with glowing suits is often quite awesome, especially in dark routes, as it turns SSX into some form of Tron meets Snow. However, mountain ranges and slopes are where visuals are taken to new levels. Having each area mapped out using actual photographs, EA have recreated these routes beautifully, and seeing thin ice blow over a massive descent as you deploy out of a helicopter is a real spectacle. Snow looks and acts as you would expect it to, and you get a really good sense of speed as you race down each and every mountain range. It’s beautiful to see in real time, and the screenshots really don’t do the game justice. The soundtrack and accompanying music also deserves a massive shout out, and it’s clear that EA have fallen head over heels in love with Dub step. If you don’t like it, then don’t worry too much, as the playlist is littered with fantastic music from various artists, and Run DMC’s “It’s Tricky” just brings back all sorts of nostalgic memories.
Outside of the campaign, you are able to tackle previously completed events in every locale you’ve played before, but with different medal challenges and objectives this time around. You’re also able to equip modifiers that directly affect your event. These modifiers have to be bought with credits, but can bestow you certain attributes such as easier trick landing, faster spin and flips, faster boots speed and duration, and much more. These modifiers can help you on some surprisingly challenging events, and act as a good way to mix up the action a little bit. But all of this really prepares you for the real challenge that SSX has waiting for you. Online play against thousands of over enthusiastic riders from across the globe? It’s called Explore Mode, and it’s a whole new way to play online.
In Explore Mode, you don’t race or trick it against other players simultaneously. In fact, you never directly play with an opponent at the same time. So where’s the appeal then, right? Well, in place of direct competitive action, there are various different events with time limits on them. These time limits can range from a few hours to whole weeks, with the credit “pot” growing over time. Basically, you have to buy into events as you would buy into a game of poker at a casino. You then get the chance to try and top the high score, which is set by someone else in the world. Each event has a massive total pot of credits that are distributed when the time limit ends, with players in higher brackets bagging more than ones with lower scores. It’s a weird, but extremely addictive take on Multiplayer action, as the whole feature almost feels like gambling. Granted, there are some events that don’t require a credit buy in, but these have much smaller winnings. Events also carry with them certain rules, such as no rewinds or modifiers, meaning that there are tons of unique events waiting to be explored.
Online, your gear is everything. This is where most of your credits will be burned, as having the best gear possible could give you the edge you need to reach a really high bracket of winnings. Credit can be eared by doing events online or offline, but surprisingly, you’re also able to purchase them with real money or Microsoft Points. It gives a weird feel of “micro-transactions” to the game, which is highly bizarre for console titles. You might never feel the need to burn cash for credits, but players who get sucked into the game’s multiplayer could be tempted to spend a few bucks on some extra credits. It’s weird, but at least it’s not the only way to earn credits. Another more imaginative way is Geotags. Geotags can be placed anywhere in Explore Mode, but the harder the placement, the bigger advantage for you. Why? Well, the longer your Geotag goes untouched by other players, the more credits you earn over that period. It’s extremely imaginative, and it will take some impressive skills to place some really difficult ones for the world to tackle.
Sadly, there is only one gripe I have with SSX, but it’s a fairly large one. The inclusion of Explore Mode is great, but it came at a cost. SSX does not feature any simultaneous competitive play, and on top of that, no spilt-screen multiplayer. This is probably the biggest “what the fuck” moment EA could’ve presented, as jamming SSX for hours with a friend is probably the fondest memory I have with the previous titles. It’s a sports game, there should be local competitive play. FIFA has it, so why shouldn’t SSX have it as well.
Brush that painful decision aside and you have a near perfect package of snowboarding action. Fans have waited for a long, long time, but thankfully, the wait was worth every second. SSX brings with it some of the most exhilarating and addictive sports action ever, and is really a pedigree in the extreme sports genre. There really is nothing else that can give you a similar, let alone better, experience, and it truly deserves your full attention. SSX is prettier, better, faster, harder and crazier than ever, and it’s finally here on this generation of consoles. We’ve missed you.
It missed Perfect by one split-screen game. Had EA included that, SSX would've easily been the perfect snowboarding experience possible in your living room. It's incredible in almost every way. Wait, why are you still reading this, go out and buy SSX now!
Now I’m even more bummed that I didn’t win the comp xD this will have to wait though, ME here I come!
Damn i wish i won this :( but its ok like this one guy says its an EA game so in 6 months it will get dirt cheap
Game looks fantastic, was checking it out at a friend’s house. A very great pity that no local MP features were added, but I think that is a dying feature infortunately.
After seeing that you could get 3rd without touching the controller on the demo I lost faith in the game’s legitimacy… but it looks pretty at any rate
Trust me, that is only that particular track, and only in the demo. The A.I is way tougher in the actual game, especially in later events :P
Nice review! If only I had won the damn comp, I’m so jelly of those other guys, but as Azhar says: “That’s the way the potato explodes.
If SSX and Rayman never existed, Alessandro, you’d have nothing to live for. Cool review, can see the love and effort put in; just like Rayman |

CLEMSON, S.C. — Jaron Blossomgame scored a season-high 29 points to lead Clemson to a 93-65 victory over SC State on Tuesday, the Tigers’ fifth straight win, all at home. Blossomgame moved into the top 20 in Clemson history in career scoring, surpassing 1,300 points. Clemson moved to 7-2 with the win, while SC State dropped to 2-8 overall. In all, the Tigers had four scorers in double figures, including Shelton Mitchell (14), Donte Grantham (13) and Avry Holmes (10). The Tigers had just two turnovers for the game, the second-lowest figure in program history. Clemson had 17 assists on 36 baskets and outscored the Bulldogs by a whopping 52-28 margin in the paint. Blossomgame provided early energy, going upstairs to land a couple of high-flying alleyoops. He posted 15 of his points before intermission, helping Clemson to a lead of as many as 13 in the opening frame. The Tigers saw SC State hang around, as the Bulldogs converted 50 percent of their field goal attempts in the opening 20 minutes of play. Clemson stretched its second-half advantage to 20 for the first time when Grantham emphatically followed a Holmes miss, throwing down a one-handed slam to bring the crowd to its feet. The Tigers take to the road against a pair of SEC foes, playing Alabama on Sunday, Dec. 18 in Birmingham, before facing rival South Carolina three days later in Columbia.
“This was a really good offensive performance. Certainly, having 17 assists and only two turnovers were big stats, as well as the 23 offensive rebounds. We knew, especially when they played small, that we could hurt them inside. |

Extreme Measures - Newspaper Theft on the Rise!
My Coupon Friend, Nathan Engles from We Use Coupons, was interviewed for USA Today. Please take a moment and read this article here. The article is about how newspaper theft is on the rise. Nathan is an example that you don't have to steal to get great deals!

I have found that organized couponing is essential to saving money at the stores. In order to really make the most of your couponing, you need to have a way to organize your coupons.

*HOT* Hallmark's Confidence Care Package Back To School Giveaway!
A big thanks to Hallmark for sponsoring this awesome prize for the Back To School Giveaway!
I was given the opportunity to review the Confidence Care Package and love it! The Hallmark cards are a great way to show care and love. My youngest loves the ladybug case and thinks the note cards are sweet! And my husband recorded the book and my youngest loves it!
With backpacks full of new pencils, binders and glue, kids might think they’re ready to take on the first day of school. But, sometimes kids need more than school supplies to face the exciting and challenging situations the upcoming year holds. That’s why Hallmark has created a back-to-school confidence checklist!
Let them hold onto your words. Kids often get embarrassed when parents say “I love you” in front of their friends. Think about sticking a card in their backpack or inside a textbook, so they can find it later and hold onto it all day.
Surprise your child with a lunchtime delight. Fruits and veggies will help a kid be physically fit, but don’t forget about a child’s emotional wellness. The unexpected “I love you” or “good luck” will let your child know you’re by their side, even after they get on the school bus.
Pass the encouragement bug around your family. Challenge the entire family to support each other by passing around the encouragement bug — Hallmark’s Bug ‘Em. One person starts by filling Bug ‘Em with treats, a coupon to do something nice (e.g., make their sibling’s bed) or a kind note of encouragement, and then leaves Bug ‘Em where the recipient will find it. Once the recipient finds Bug ‘Em, he or she is charged with surprising another family member and spreading the encouragement bug.
We have done the homework for you and want to give you a jumpstart on the school year.
*BONUS* Hallmark Recordable Storybook - Recordable Storybooks allow you to record your voice, and your little ones can read along with you even if you’re far away. They are also great for encouraging your kids to read and building confidence for reading aloud!

Decoding Coupon Barcodes - Is It Wrong?
I was shopping in Harris Teeter yesterday and ran into an interesting situation. Because I am often recognized at the stores, people always ask me questions. I am more than happy to help. However, when I have to tell someone their doing something "Wrong" I feel bad. I had to deal with that yesterday.
First of all, I was asked if there was a way to read the coupon bar code to see if they can use it on other products than what it was intended for. I answered "No, I don't teach that practice". Then I was informed that a customer in the store told them about it and was doing it regularly. I was a little upset about this. Practices like that is the reason stores are tightening up their coupon policies and making it harder for us to get great deals.
Simply put, it is deciphering the bar code on a coupon to see if it will work on different (preferably less expensive) items.
Look at coupon barcode decoding this way: It is like using counterfeit money to pay for your purchase! Although the cashier may not notice you are paying with a counterfeit bill, it will eventually reveal itself and the store looses out. A coupon is a form of payment and by not getting what the coupon says it is for is the same as paying with counterfeit money.
So, please read your coupons, get exactly what it says it is for and follow the parameters given by the coupon. Please don't use the barcode to determine what you can get because you know the register won't beep. Just because the register does not beep, does not mean that it is OK.
There are plenty of other websites and blogs that teach this practice and believe that it is OK. Please Be Aware! They believe they are right and have no problem teaching others to do the same. Taking advantage of a glitch in the bar code to get around the text of the coupon is fraud. |

Three communities in the 94th AD say turnout so far is looking much like it did for the April election.
In Onalaska, the largest city in the district and the home of Dem candidate Steve Doyle, turnout was tracking along the lines of the more than 40 percent who showed up for the April election, according to the clerk's office. Then, 4,476 votes were cast.
In West Salem, where Republican candidate John Lautz lives, about 500 votes were in by a little after 12:30 p.m., according to the clerk's office. In April, 1,309 were cast there.

Prior to electricity deregulation, power was supplied by regional utility monopolies that could own and operate all three parts of electric service. In response to a growing demand for competition in the industry, spurred by the success of deregulation in the airline and telecommunications industries, Congress passed the National Energy Policy Act in 1992 which created wholesale electric markets that allow for open access of generation.
It’s worth noting that you can switch for free with no exit fee 42-49 days before the end of your contract. Under Ofgem’s standards of conduct, energy firms have to give you between 42 and 49 days’ notice of your tariff ending. You can use this time to decide whether to stick with them, or switch. If you decide to switch, you won’t be charged an exit fee.
According to the EIA, the average American household uses 897 kWh of energy per month. Knowing that number, and how your own home’s usage compares, provides insight into the amount of energy you use per device. Our Energy Estimator will show you why simple changes like programming your thermostat or turning off televisions and computers when not in use will help lower energy costs.
Take your time to check out offers. You may receive offers from electricity suppliers through direct mail, telemarketing, advertising, and over the Internet. Read offers carefully and ask the supplier questions. You may have to commit to a fixed-term contract when you sign up with an electricity supplier. Therefore, be sure you like the terms of the offer. Questions to ask a supplier:
Switching your energy provider online through our website is quick, easy and hassle-free. Don’t miss out on saving money through our price comparison service simply because you think it will be a long, drawn-out process. The whole thing need not take over ten minutes and by doing so you could be saving hundreds of pounds a year with a cheaper electricity supplier.
Just as impressive: Its overall J.D. Power score for customer satisfaction. The 1,000 point score considers price, communications, corporate citizenship, enrollment and renewal, and customer service. At 709, Green Mountain Energy scored the highest of all Pennsylvania companies, well above the 669 state average, and a solid 20 points ahead of the next closest provider we looked at — Constellation.
But competition didn't necessarily end up cutting prices, according to the report. One contributing factor is confusion among customers as they try to choose among scores of retail electricity providers and the overwhelming variation of plans, leading many to just stick with familiar companies rather than look for better deals, according to the Texas Coalition for Affordable Power .
From Spanish Mission to Art Deco, the city of Wichita Falls is full of historical building styles. It’s also full of residents, with more than 100,000 calling city limits home. If you’re a resident or business owner in Wichita Falls, electricity shopping can seem a bit tricky. To make it simpler, you need to understand that there are two popular types of energy rate structures: variable and fixed.
Electricity providers are companies that purchase wholesale electricity from electricity generators and sell it at a retail level to the general public. They are also responsible for having that electricity delivered to the appropriate local utility company that serves their customers. State’s label electricity providers with different names such as, REPs (Retail Electric Providers), CRES (Competitive Retail Electric Service providers), or licensed electric suppliers, to name a few.

There are many reasons for this but I’d like to focus on African power utilities. Power utilities are a very important part of the chain for delivering electrical power to end users. One of their key roles is to purchase power that has been generated by others, sell it on to end-users and to collect revenues. They are vital for extending grid-based power to consumers and to ensure regular and efficient power supply. As they collect money from end-users and pay it on to other players in the system, they are also vital in ensuring money flows through the entire power sector.

You’ll also see a flat rate and a price per kWh rate for TDU or TDSP (which stand for Transmission and Distribution Utility or Transportation Distribution Service Provider). These are costs that your utility charges for delivering electricity and maintaining power lines. The costs are unique to your local utility and have nothing to do with your electricity provider.
Variable rate plans are always month-to-month, save for three-month intro specials in which your rate stays the same for those early months. Fixed rate plans, on the other hand, are available for periods ranging from six to 36 months. The contract lengths, and how that length influences the price per kWh rate, varies enormously from company to company. Some companies offer lower rates when you enroll for longer periods. Others raise the rate slightly. The competing rationale: You will be paying them for longer so you get a break, or you have that price locked in when energy rates inevitably rise. One rule of thumb — the longer the contract, the higher the cancellation fee.
Fixed-rate supply plans offer price-protected supply rates for the length of a term agreement. The price per kilowatt hour (kWh) will remain the same throughout your term, even if the market price fluctuates. A fixed-rate supply plan can range from three months to five years, so it’s important to find the term length that works best for your situation.
Texas deregulated most of the state's electricity markets in 2002, a move aimed at lowering electricity costs by letting consumers choose their own electric power providers and their own plans. Some parts of Texas continued to be regulated, including those that get power from municipal utilities, electric cooperatives and investor-owned utilities that operate outside the state's primary power grid. |

A: We celebrate our weddings on a private beach area inside the property, so we can guarantee that couples will have a beachfront wedding without people crossing over in the way. Also, we only celebrate one wedding per day, so all our locations can be used by the couple (for example, if they want to do the ceremony on the beach, then cocktail hour in our terrace and reception on the garden).
A: When a wedding can come together in person! It can be difficult to plan a wedding without seeing the areas and doing everything by email, so when a wedding is what the couples want; it is my favorite part.

A: What time to end the event. Our outside events must ends at 10:00 pm.

Having been drawn to the history of midwifery and peasants/working classes, I’ve always shied away from studying aristocrats. When I first picked up The Lady in the Tower, I was a bit apprehensive. Over 350 pages in length (not including the bibliography, source notes, or illustrations), it appeared to be a daunting reading task. Despite my worries, the work turned out to be thoroughly engaging and interesting.
From Anne Boleyn to Henry VIII and Thomas Cromwell, Alison Weir examines the medieval context that they existed in, handing over no prejudices, just facts (as well as omitted evidence). Whether Anne slept with five men behind Henry’s back, well, that is for the reader to interpret. Contrary to popular knowledge, Weir states that Henry was not behind Anne’s fall, since he clearly could have done away with her as he did his previous queen, Katherine.
On top of all the primary source investigation, Weir utilizes a historical methodology which covers interpretations in different eras down through the ages. She explains that yes, the masses saw Anne in a better light during her daughter Elizabeth I’s reign. Later in the Victorian era Anne’s image was romanticized, so Weir effectively notes the easy sway of public opinion.
Today, however, Weir observes past records and argues that it was near impossible for a queen in Anne’s time to find the privacy to take up with five different lovers (including her own brother). The role of modern science explains issues like miscarriages and Katherine’s death (cancer), which the superstitious and god-fearing people of sixteenth century England were not privy to. Weir’s work incorporates archaeological examination of the burial area where Anne’s beheaded body was approximately laid to rest.
Weir does a great job of keeping the context in focus, while keeping the narrative compelling. The only disappointment of the book, as an advance copy, was that the illustrations were not included. The only historical figure that I could not muster sympathy for was Thomas Cromwell (the man who spearheaded the king's disposal of Anne, and who also later faced his own execution), but don’t let me be the judge or hand-picked jury on the final verdict of Cromwell’s character.
This account of the Tudors has really piqued my curiosity to go beyond the surface of the occasional pedigree chart or Hollywood movie for Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII came alive in the pages.

Roch Hennessy, the premium spirit brand's business development manager for China. (Photo: Hennessy)Maurice Hennessy, brand ambassador, and Roch Hennessy, the premium spirit brand's business development manager for China, visited Nigeria this week concluding their Heritage Tour of Africa
As well as Nigeria, the Hennessy cousins have visited Kenya and South Africa as part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Hennessy VSOP cognac. It is the first time they have travelled together to promote the brand.
"Two hundred years is amazing when you see what has happened in the world in that time," said Maurice Hennessy.
Genuine cognac can only be made from white wine grapes grown in the Cognac region of south-west France - Maurice Hennessy himself owns one of the vineyards which supplies grapes for the spirit. Ensuring the integrity of Hennessy cognac is an important part of the brand's international work and the company has a department dedicated to eliminating counterfeit spirits from the market.
Roch Hennessy said this tour was his first time to Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa: "It has been a really good experience - there is passion around the brand and everyone has been welcoming."
The cousins explained how, as Hennessy has become a global brand, every market appropriates the brand according to local culture and tastes. There are, according to Maurice and Roch, multiple ways to enjoy VSOP.
"We are present everywhere around the world [with a] vision of open-mindedness with every single market's culture," said Roch. "We don't fix the rules - we leave that up to the market."

Can I just take you back there. With me. To the farm where Emily and I were welcomed for our first three days in Oregon. Where we were loved and given delicious food. How about we relive the time Emily, and I set foot on the west coast for the first time. Or when Ed and I surfed tandem: uncontrollable laughter. The time we camped right off the interstate and could feel each semi-truck rolling past. Or the time we stumbled right off the road and were smacked in the face by the Holy Spirit filling the house of a family in Heber City. Or when Ed offered to pray for two Mormon men and they let us. I think you might have enjoyed being there when Fleet Foxes blasted through the speakers of our car and we entered another dimension. It would have been pretty funny to watch us all hit hour 10… 11… or 12 in the car with one another, and the mini-dose of culture shock that occurred each time we stepped out of the car (it was more of a mega-dose of culture shock for Ed, who'd just returned from 2 months in Fiji learning evangelism and practicing sharing The Gospel). It was a wild ride. We learned a lot. Especially about God's providence. What lay before us on this trip was totally unknown until He delivered. And He did.
We have an amazing array of authors covering historical, young adult, middle grade, fantasy, nonfiction, and more all participating in the #LetResilienceArise series starting next month. Get ready for some amazing moments with authors you love!
So many great authors are going to share their story of resilience, beginning in April 2017 on Thorn & Vine Blog!
April will feature Middle Grade and Young Adult Author and Lauren Brandenburg, Actress Amanda McDonough, and Author Loretta Eidson! Stay tuned for more very soon…
Last week’s blog about helping friends who are hurting got a lot of attention on social media—if you’re wondering to help someone you care about, check it out HERE and share with a friend in need or group that wants to lend a hand and could use some constructive ideas.
This month, I was featured on Author Jerusha Agen’s Fear Warrior Blog – and we’re talking about taking that big plunge of faith!
This month I’m featured discussing fear on the Fear Warrior Blog with author Jerusha Agen (link HERE). What is it like to have to trust fully, not knowing the outcome? It reminded me of when I helped with a teen ministry years ago and had to jump from a three-story platform at T Bar M Ranch in Texas! Would love for you to join our conversation about having faith in those rough moments.
Author Ralene Burke challenged me to dig deep and confess. I had to admit that although I’ve faced wildly death-defying moments—some very tender, others a bit like Indiana Jones in real life—I still really, truly disdain change. Even though I love putting my characters in fiction through the mill, when a new change comes my first reaction is to want to run. What do we do in those moments? And what role do deeper wells of faith and hope have in those moments? Join us there (link HERE).

Lately there’s been a lot of fuss about Social Media. There are conferences dedicated to it (such as SMX Social) and different aspects of if (such as the upcoming Blog World Expo). There are blogs dedicated to it such as Pete Cashmore’s Mashable, and there are portions of forums dedicated it to it as well like on Cre8asite Forums. All of these talk about Social Media and their individual parts, however it’s rare that any of these actually talk about incorporating Social Media as part of an overall strategy for online marketing.
To look as Social Media as a boost for you SEO, quite frankly, is foolish. Social Media touches so many other aspects of an online marketing strategy. It isn’t just about gaining links to raise your PR or even your ranking in the results on Google, Yahoo, Live or Ask. If that is the sole reason to use social media, you might want to start thinking about finding another “quick fix”. Soon enough, the search engines will probably take a hard look at the effect of social media and will start devaluing the power links from places like Digg have (there are some reports that this has already begun to happen).
So if the search engines start devaluing the links from these big well known social media hubs like Digg, Reddit, and StumbleUpon, what is and SEO to do. Well if you are just and “SEO” and not an online marketer, it’s off to make sure that website is fully optimized. If you are an online marketer, you probably have already seen the value beyond SEO for Social Media.
Beyond the mass amount of links that a successful social media campaign can provide there are several other areas that Social Media touches within an internet marketing strategy.
PPC – When Social Media is strategically combined with PPC it can effectively reduce the cost of some campaigns. If you are advertising in the content network, utilizing social media can help you cut back on some of those costs. It’s a matter of watching your analytics closely in this case, as Social Media is not a replacement for PPC, it can certainly help to reduce some of the costs.
Branding – Social Media is a great place to work with branding measures. If your company is new, and you need to get the word out in a cheap, efficient way, social media is the place to start. Talking to your audience, participating in a niche community, speaking to people who are already interesting in the type of product or service your offer all are a great way to get the conversation started.
The list above demonstrates just a few ways that shows Social Media isn’t just a stand alone strategy. It needs to be worked into an full online marketing plan if you want to have the successful results you are hoping for. Understanding how every aspect interrelates is just as important with social media as it is with working PPC and SEO together. Having an experienced online marketer who understands all aspects is going to be key to your strategy, the last thing you want to do is leave this in the hands of an intern. So take the time and not only plan, but budget for social media, make it a part of the strategy all on its own, not just a part of SEO.

Bought this for my Dad at the request from his OT. Excellent product especially when paired with the Sky Med Quad Cane Tip. With this the cane is able to stand on its own plus it gives extra grip to the floor too. |
Elphin Celtic Cross is the fourth of Mick and After The Party's (TB) foals. He is a 1998 chestnut colt, and will finish at 16 hh. Cross is so named because all of Party's babies are grumpy at birth, so the 'Cross' part of his name was intended as a pun! However, Cross must have known we were taking the mickey out of him, so he turned the joke back on us by being the friendliest baby possible!
Cross at the 2009 Surefire Horse Trials, Purcellville, VA. He placed 7th in the beginner novice with Courtney.
Cross is now owned by Courtney Pope, a young rider who events him, and he is now known around the barn as "Elf". In 2004 Courtney was the reserve champion for the Black Brook Junior Championship at the ACPS Region 1 show, riding both Elf and another part Connemara.
In early August 2001, Cross was sold to Kathleen Fuller of Rowley, MA. Here's what she has to say about him:
"I wanted you to be one of the first to know that I have just purchased Cross from Bruce Brink and I am so excited! I had Cross vetted a few weeks ago and had not seen him for a while. He was even better than I remembered! It is so clear that he loves people and his movement when free lunging is gorgeous. I can't wait to get him home!
Cross will be living in Rowley, MA at a wonderful barn we call horse heaven (The barn's real name is Grand View Farm). It is located on a hill about 1 mile from the ocean and has fantastic ocean views from the outdoor ring. Cross will live in a large, light stall at the front of the barn so he will have lots to look at. He will enjoy a good deal of turn out and I can't wait to take him on the trails that leave just outside the barn.
I plan to bring him along slowly with the help of my trainer, Anne Bonazoli, and will be sure to include a great deal of variety ( including trips to the beach) to keep him interested. Eventually we will, hopefully, compete at 2nd and 3rd level dressage and perhaps do some eventing. But that is likely to be a few years off."
Just before his third birthday, Cross was sold to Bruce Brink of Vermont. Bruce had just previously purchased Cross's full brother, Elphin Dublin Ball, for a client of his, and was so impressed he decided to get another Conn/TB by Mick. Bruce intends to sell Cross on as an event prospect. |

Becoming a parent is supposed to be one of the most exciting and happiest days in one’s life. But as the stories of Serena Williams, Lauren Bloomstein, and many others published over the past year show, the very real threat of complications has made giving birth in America more scary than exciting.
The US has the highest rate of maternal mortality in the developed world; in 2015, 26.4 out of every 100,000 live births resulted in maternal mortality. That’s more than three times the rate in Canada, four times the rate in Japan, and nearly five times as high as Australia’s. Further, women in certain states and regions of the US, and especially African American women, face extremely high rates of maternal mortality.
The session featured Dr. Carol Sakala, Director of Childbirth Connection Programs at the National Partnership for Women & Families; Nan Strauss, Director of Policy and Advocacy at Every Mother Counts; Dr. Steven Calvin, Medical Director of the Minnesota Birth Center; and Dianna Jolles, faculty at Frontier Nursing University and practitioner at El Rio Community Health Center.
The panelists pointed out that both overuse and underuse are prevalent in maternity care. Many women, especially those in rural areas, do not have easy access to maternal care. Additionally, high rates of obesity, diabetes, and high blood pressure (which are often untreated) create a greater risk of complications for American mothers.
But at the same time, too many unnecessary interventions are being done during childbirth. The rate of cesarean sections in the US is about 32%, much higher than the rate recommended by the World Health Organization. C-section rates also vary widely across states. Why is there so much geographical variation? Diana Jolles explained that whether a mother has a c-section is not always dependent on medical need, but can depend on the hospital or clinic’s access to resources, payer source, and provider practice styles.
Carol Sakala echoed this point in her presentation of the NPWF “State of the Science” on maternity care. Much of the obstetrics field is focused on the “rescue” of high-risk pregnancies, but this misses the chance to prevent complications in the first place, said Sakala. At the same time, we use specialized care for low-risk pregnancies unnecessarily, which can be harmful.
In many of the stories of preventable maternal harm or near-harm, there is a prevalent theme of the patient not being heard. There are stories where the patient was highly educated, knew exactly what was wrong, had the same complication before, or even had a medical degree themselves, and doctors still ignored the patient when she insisted that something was wrong.
One way to combat this dangerous and frustrating problem is by integrating support from a midwife and doula, said Nan Strauss. Midwives and doulas provide different but complimentary services (midwives are licensed health care providers that provide prenatal, labor, and post-partum support, while doulas provide non-clinical physical and emotional support during birth).
Having continuous, one-on-one support from another person is associated with increased likelihood of spontaneous vaginal birth, reduced likelihood of a cesarean birth, and reduced negative feelings about childbirth, compared with just having physician care. “The goal is to put the person at the center of the equation,” said Strauss.
The US is lagging behind other countries in maternal care, but several states are taking steps to change that. Recently, governor Andrew Cuomo of New York announced a pilot program allowing Medicaid to reimburse patients for doula services, making New York the third state to expand Medicaid coverage for doulas.
Stuebe and others recently released a statement from a task force of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, urging doctors to make postpartum care an “ongoing process, rather than a single encounter, with services and support tailored to each woman’s individual needs.” Statements like these are long overdue, as are steps to facilitate continuous support and reduce unnecessary interventions during birth. |
Fibre optic interconnecting devices and passive components performance standard - Part 1: General and guidance for performance standards |
When it comes to determining total cost of ownership (TCO), it is vital for organisations to be able to place a single value on the complete lifecycle of a capital purchase. In the retail space, this means implementing a robust and repeatable system that enables the business to calculate the TCO of its IT, Logistics and Property investments.
As one of South Africa’s largest retailers, the Foschini Group (TFG) found that the size and complexity of its businesses required a particularly robust, granular model to charge back the shared service costs for its various brands.
The Foschini Group currently offers an impressive portfolio of 28 retail brands covering clothing and footwear (including brands such as Foschini, Markham, Exact and Due South), jewellery (Sterns, American Swiss, Mat &May), sportswear (Sportscene, and Totalsports) and homeware (@home, @homelivingspace) and retails through over 2 600 stores across sub-Saharan Africa.
It was essential for TFG to gain visibility into a more accurate return on capital employed (ROCE) per brand, such as determining Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) after shared services cost allocations for each of the 28 brands, rather than relying on this metric at a consolidated Group level alone, explains Marlize van der Westhuizen, Head of Finance: Infotec and Logistics Divisions at TFG.
“Since TFG had no real cost transparency solution and a very limited charge-back model to its various brands, the group clearly required not only the right solution, but also the relevant expertise to introduce an effective cost transparency discipline into the enterprise. For this, we turned to Magic Orange, which was able to assist us with both consulting services and the actual implementation of the chosen solution,” she says.
“The first requirement was to create a complete product and service catalogue, which the Magic Orange team assisted to build from scratch, based on relevant business input from the various areas in scope. Furthermore, the existing models for the allocation of costs were very limited and not consistently based on operational drivers. This meant that every product and service required a driver to be sourced and incorporated into the Magic Orange model. In addition to the development of these drivers, the implementation included training ensuring employees understood both the nature and fairness of the drivers.,” explains Malcolm Stewart, Business Development Manager at Magic Orange.
“The first phase focused on the customer’s IT and Logistics budget stack – an individual stack that nonetheless had a substantial budget. This core model was delivered in a mere eight weeks, despite being driven from a zero base,” Stewart states.
Van der Westhuizen adds that reciprocal charging was properly modelled and catered for, and fully loaded and accurate TCOs for products and services across the organisation were also made available. Finally, scenario modelling was also implemented, which enabled multiple scenarios, including a range of different budgets, actuals and forecast data, to be loaded. This will assist TFG in making both strategic and tactical decisions.
“In the end though, the two biggest game changers for us were the manner in which Magic Orange brought together the cost transparency and a credible recharge model based on consumption of services opposed to just a cost allocation model. This will further assist us in optimizing costs and an important step to calculate ROCE at a brand level. The Magic Orange team fully delivered on our challenges and exceeded our expectation in the way their experts understand and care for our business success,” concludes van der Westhuizen. |

A few days before Christmas 2018 I travelled up to Buckinghamshire and the lovely little town of Amersham for Sarah & Neil's wedding at the quaint Kings Chapel, set in the grounds of the larger Kings Arms on the High St. Despite the drizzle and cloud, the couple and their guests were in fine spirits! The main room was decked out with fairy lights and a nice big Christmas tree in the corner, and after the ceremony and confetti throw the staff quickly changed it all around for the speeches and cake cut. Sarah & Neil's first dance was one of the most creative I've seen this year - they had a whole routine worked out and put on quite the show for their guests! Before I left I took the couple back outside for some creative photos in front of the chapel and amongst the fairy lights in the trees. What a fab way to end 2018!
One of the great things about being a wedding photographer is it can take you all over the country, and even further afield sometimes! I've been to Buckinghamshire a few times for weddings in the past, and oddly it's always in the colder months of the year. Knowing that the roads would likely be packed with people travelling just before Christmas, I allowed extra time for the 2 hour journey. Sadly as usual the M25 was horrendous and despite the extra time I finally arrived at Kings Chapel in Amersham half an hour after I planned.
I still had plenty of time before the 4pm ceremony, but I wanted to make the most of the fading natural light and get as much done as possible - even with a bit of drizzle coming down. The ceremony itself was lovely and the room had a nice clean feel - made all the most Christmassy by the big tree in the corner! The confetti tunnel afterwards was great fun and we went straight into the formal photos up on the mezzanine style balcony, along with some of the newlyweds amongst the warm glow of the fairylights.
The staff at Kings Chapel quickly turned the ceremony room around, and it really did look beautiful. The speeches were, as always, a bit of an event. Lots of great little stories and anecdotes, and a few tears too. But it was the first dane that really blew my mind! Sarah & Neil kept this a secret but I managed to get it out of Neil with just enough time to set up lights. It was going to be dramatic and I wanted to capture it all in the best way!
They launched into a great choreographed number and everyone was in fits of laughter, cheering them both on, before they dragged their children onto the dance floor to join them, as everyone else got involved too. It made for some great photographs, some of my favourites from the day - especially Neil lifting Sarah up into the air and spinning her around!
Just before I left I wanted to get some more outdoor photos of the two of them, something I don't always get the chance to do at summer weddings as it's often still light outside. The perfect round off to their special day as I headed home to enjoy the festive break. If you've booked Kings Chapel for your wedding in Buckinghamshire, or indeed another venue in the Home Counties or the Southeast in general, I'd love to talk more about your photography plans! Head over to my collections and pricing and if you like my style, get in touch for more information. |

I haven’t been doing a lot of shopping lately, I’m trying to work with what I already have in my closet (recycle). For this look I wore my favorite lace and tulle dress as a skirt (this is a great way to get more wear out of your dresses).
I love tulle, its super girly but I wanted a bit of an edge. I chose to pair the dress (worn as a skirt) with a blue and white stripes shirt for a more dressy look, added the leather jacket to toughen it up a bit, red heels and lips for a pop of color. |

A white college professor at Boston College, Mark Ryder, 38, underwent over 200 hours of expensive cosmetic surgery to look “as black as possible,” with hopes that he could prove to his Ethics in Law class that there was no such thing as a racial bias by police, and that the media like to hype up issues with African Americans by police.
According to reports, though, Ryder was shot and later arrested by police after he tried to leave his doctor’s office and walk to his own car across the street.
“My client was simply walking to his car, which happened to be a brand new Tesla, and was stopped by police,” said Ryder’s lawyer, Carlton Fisher. “They assumed he was stealing it, and despite when being asked to show his hands and complying, officers shot Mr. Ryder twice. He was struck in the arm and the ribs.”
Police reports show that Ryder was “not cooperative” with police requests, and was shot after an officer believed he was reaching for a weapon. Naturally, the officer’s body camera was switched off.
Ryder has since been released from prison, and is planning a lawsuit against the Boston PD. He has also retired from teaching Ethics in Law, stating that “English is a much easier, more straight-forward class.”
Alen Jackson says he doesn’t plan to break laws intentionally, but he still gets hassled all the time by police and meter-maids because, according to Jackson, “I’m black and proud.”
Jackson has taken his annoyances about laws to the city, where he has proposed what he calls “earn credits.” With the credits, a person wouldn’t get ticketed or hassled for minor infractions, because they’ve earned up a sort of “goodwill” with the city.
“I really don’t mind volunteering for community service or that sort of thing if it meant that I would be able to cash in on it later,” said Jackson. “This would be a successful community outreach program, and I suggest it be implemented, because people who look a certain way are going to get hassled more. It’s just a fact we have to live with, and this would encourage the community to come together.”
Jackson has suggested going as far as pre-serving time. “I could just go in on the weekends, spend a little time, and not have to worry about a wrongful conviction based on my looks later on.”
Jackson has also offered an alternative plan in response to the police brutality and violence he has seen on Facebook. “I have no record of violent offenses, so I don’t want to be shot for no reason,” said Jackson. “There should be a way to advertise this to protect myself. It could be as simple as a microchip. It could send a signal that says, ‘hey, he’s black, but he’s not dangerous,’ and a lot of innocent lives would be saved.”

Rick Pilsner, 20, was reportedly shot and killed during a prank he was filming for his YouTube channel yesterday evening. Pilsner, known to his 13 followers on the social media channel as “That Prank Guy,” reportedly had dressed up in a “very realistic” zombie outfit to scare shoppers at the Milltown Plaza Mall.
“It’s a tragedy that this happened, a truly sad story,” said Milltown police chief Joe Goldsmith. “Rick Pilsner was well known in this town for his pranks and jokes, but this one just went too far for one citizen. Apparently Rick never watched the news, and didn’t know that any idiot with a gun is likely to use it, especially in a mall.”
Goldsmith says that at approximately 8pm, Pilsner went into a mall restroom and changed into his zombie outfit and makeup. At approximately 8:30pm, when he walked out of the bathroom mumbling “brainssss…brainsss…” a passing shopper drew his concealed firearm and shot Pilsner 3 times in the face.
“Yup. I saw that zombie, and he was coming right for me, screaming about eatin’ my brains,” said Jerry Moore, 62, a retired truck driver. “I was carrying my old .45, as I usually am, and when I saw him coming at me, I drew out and shot the sumbitch right in the face. After he went down, I shot him a couple more times, too. Can’t be too careful with zombies, you know.”
Moore, who was later informed that Pilsner was a young man in a costume, and not an actual zombie, reportedly commented “Pfft, that’s just what the government wants you to think. I know a real zombie when I see one.”
Goldsmith says that Moore will not face criminal charges in the case, as he honestly “feared for his life.” His weapon was temporarily confiscated for investigation purposes.
Police and local investigators say that the 2-year-old toddler that fired a gun in an Idaho Walmart store, killing his mother, will be tried as an adult.
On December 30th, police say that a young mother, who was shopping with her children, was killed when her 2-year-old son reached into her purse, and discharged a small-caliber pistol that she had concealed inside. In what police originally considered a tragic accident, the woman died before paramedics could arrive.
Upon further investigation into the shooting, police have decided to arrest the 2-year-old and charge him with first-degree murder, a capital offense in Idaho.
“We strongly believe that this child knew precisely what he was doing when he reached into his mother’s purse and fired that weapon,” said Deputy Chief Joseph Goldsmith. “At this time we will not being discussing what evidence has mounted to lead us to this decision, as a trial will be pending.”
“It’s just awful that this is happening,” said Shaniqu’a Brooks, an employee at the Walmart who witnessed the events. “I saw the entire thing happen, and after she fell to the floor, her son – well, let me just say that the look on his face scared the Hell out of me.”
“If only the woman had not been carrying a concealed weapon, then this never would have happened,” said liberal talk-radio host Gerry Jones. “Only a damn fool carries a loaded weapon into a store, around children and other customers. Was there no safety on her gun? She was quoted as being a ‘responsible gun owner,’ but did she think that in an Idaho Walmart in the middle of the day she might need to shoot someone? Moreover, had her son ever touched it before? Fired it? Is this his first time killing? There are so many questions that need answers. I just hope that during the trial, we see the truth come out.”
Currently, the toddler is being held in an Idaho maximum security facility without bail, but there is reportedly a wonderful playroom with toys and cartoons. A trial date has not yet been set.

A small town in North Dakota has recently passed a law that does not bode well with animal rights activists. In response to an increased number of dog attacks in 2014, West Carbon has passed a law requiring any dog that attacks or shows aggression – whether it be towards a human or another animal – to be shot, execution style, in front of its owners.
According to West Carbon police records, 53 dogs have been ‘put down’ in front of their owners since the law went into effect mid-2014. The most recent execution was Roxanne, a Blue Heeler owned by the McYoung family. According to Daniel McYoung, police shot Roxanne in the family’s living room after neighbors reported that they saw her biting the feet of Rusty, the McYoung’s other dog in the family’s backyard.
“This whole thing is ridiculous, Roxanne wasn’t biting or attacking Rusty, she was nipping at his heels, that’s what she does, she is a Heeler for god’s sake! The worst part of the whole incident is that the police insisted upon shooting the dog in our living room, and then did not offer to help clean up the mess they made,” said Daniel McYoung. He says that, thankfully, the one their 12-year-old daughter had been at a friend’s house for a sleepover when the police arrived.
Chief Wiggler from West Carbon Police Department publicly responded to Daniel McYoung’s statement by saying “The breed of dog is irrelevant, the dog was biting another dog, and in my book that’s an attack. In addition, the McYoung’s neighbor was of the opinion that Roxanne was attacking the other dog. People need to understand that when it comes to the law, perception is reality.”
Wiggler finished his press release by saying, “We insisted upon resolving the issue in the McYoung’s living room because it was a Saturday afternoon, and we did not want to cause a scene publicly by resolving it outdoors.”
Those that oppose the law say that it’s clearly an attempt for law enforcement to intimidate citizens, and that the law itself is inhumane.

Todd Riley, 31, was diagnosed with type 1, or “juvenille” diabetes when he was 3 years old, and has always had to make sure to carry an insulin pump or a candy bar with him wherever he goes. That is, until last year, when Riley began his journey to purposely contract type 2 diabetes.
“It’s pretty simple, really,” said Riley, a former construction worker. “I have type 1 diabetes, and my blood sugar was always dangerously low. If I gain a bunch of weight and become a type 2 diabetic, my blood sugar will skyrocket, basically making me normal.”
Doctors have cautioned Riley that it “doesn’t work that way,” but Riley has said that he thinks doctors are just trying to keep him skinny so that they can continue medicating him.
“I pay thousands of dollars for my medication, and I’ve found a way to beat their system, and they’re terrified,” said Riley.
Riley, who was always very skinny most of his life, gained over 300 pounds since late 2016, and says that he has “happily” come closer to becoming a type 2 diabetic.
“I figure within the next couple of months, I will finally be able to control my diabetes naturally,” said Riley. “It’s really a great feeling.” |
SearchExpress Medical Document Management is affordable software used by Home Health Care providers to scan paper documents, and workflow and search both paper and digital documents, including patient charts, EOB's, AP invoices, and other records.
If you already have a full EMR system, you still need a way to capture and search your EOB's.
For paper EOB's, patient charts, and other medical records, SearchExpress lets you use a scanner or MFP copier to scan.
In addition to searching from your desktop PC, you can search from your iPad, iPhone or Android. This means you can access your documents wherever you are, including when in patient homes delivering home-health services.
Also, you can search by highlighting a search word or phrase in your EMR system, including Allscripts, Cerner, Epic, GE Centricity, Meditech, Merge, NextGen and SuccessEHS.
Daily you scan your paper EOB's, patient charts, AP invoices and other documents, using a scanner or MFP copier.
SearchExpress can read, write and share data with your Practice Management system and Electronic Medical Records system. For example, while scanning medical records, SearchExpress can read the patient name and DOB from your EMR or Practice Management system.
Daily, SearchExpress imports your emailed, faxed and other electronic EOB's.
For both scanned and electronic EOB's, SearchExpress performs optical character recognition (OCR) of the EOB's, and uses the OCR text as an index to let you search your EOB's.
The documents are stored in a searchable database, at your site.
You search the EOB's and other documents by the patient name, procedure code, date range or any word or phrase in the document.
Or, if you have Electronic Medical Records or Practice Management software, you highlight the patient name or claim number in that software, and press a function key to display the exact page of the document for that patient name or claim number.
And, when viewing a page, the patient name, claim number or other search words are highlighted on the page, so your eyes are drawn directly to what you are looking for.
If you need to email, print or fax EOB information for one patient, you can electronically "black out" or "white out" (redact) the other patients on the page. Yes, you can finally throw away those black markers!
You can route charts, AP invoices, or audio transcriptions from one person to others, for example, to approve AP invoices or for a doctor to approve an audio transcription.
"But at any price, the service and support we have received from SearchExpress has been beyond our wildest dreams. I only have one other vendor that comes close to taking care of us like SearchExpress does.
"Our CEO has said repeatedly that he wishes SearchExpress had more software we could buy." |

Lean is the number one improvement program in the world. The only real competition for popularity comes from inaction or weak attempts that rely upon naive trial and error. In terms of comprehensive programs, the runner up methodology is Six Sigma, a great program, but far less popular than lean.
Let’s look closer at lean in terms of foundation, approach, vision, and applicability across various organizations...
The Design Phase of a lean transformation is dependent on the quality of the Diagnosis Phase. Don’t start the Design Phase unless the leadership of the business agrees and signs off on with the Diagnostic Phase document ...
In the Diagnostic Phase of the transformation, a very intense analysis is used to gain a detailed understanding of the “current state” of the business. The elements evaluated are: Business Processes, Organizational Infrastructure, and Organizational Culture, as well as how effectively these elements support the customer’s requirements and needs.
Getting to the Root of the Problem: How one company used visual scheduling to increase on-time delivery
Survival in a shrinking industry requires being efficient, economical, and responsive to customers. With a product lead-time of two to three days from receipt of order, the client, a leading paper converting company, was struggling to meet their customer deliveries...
The old adage “Measure Twice, Cut Once” applies to the Preparation for lean transformation. Many times transformations start with very little or no preparation, which results in a very stressful and rushed diagnosis. This deficiency in turn can then lead to poor design and weak implementation phases. It is essential that certain activities take place before the diagnose phase begins. This increases the probability of a successful transformation and the team getting off to the best start possible. |

Appetite for Life is the Welsh Assembly Government’s plan for improving the food and drink provided in schools in Wales. It sets new food, drink and nutrient standards that mean food provided in school will be healthy and well balanced and snack foods and drinks with little or no nutritional value will not be available.
The food and drink based standards apply across the school day including breakfast clubs, mid-morning break, tuck shops, vending machines, lunch time provision and after school clubs. The nutrient based standards apply to the food served at lunch times.
The nutrient based standards list a maximum amount of fat, saturated fat, added sugars and salt and minimum amount for vitamins and minerals for an average school lunch. There are also calorie limits which mean that the average school lunch contains energy which is right for the needs of children and young people.
All the food provided by Shire Services at Ysgol Emrys ap Iwan is nutritionally analysed against the nutrient based standards to ensure your child can choose from a healthy balanced variety of foods at lunch time.
Although there are some restrictions, a large variety of foods including desserts can still be served under Appetite for Life recommendations.
The lunch time provision is generally planned in advance and menus showing the meals that your child can choose should be available from the school or here.
Most secondary schools offer a wide range of options such as traditional hot dishes and meal deals – generally offering good value for money, salad bars, and jacket potatoes with fillings, sandwiches, baguettes, rolls and healthy drinks.
Yes, snacks should still be available in schools but individual school policies will vary. Appetite for Life recommends that food and drinks served across the school day must have a clear nutritional benefit.
In secondary schools, recommended break time snacks include bread products, fruit, vegetables, and yoghurts. Fizzy drinks high in added sugars and sweeteners are being replaced with plain water, milk and fruit juice drinks.
Many schools are working together with the Welsh National Healthy Schools Scheme to promote fruit and vegetable snacks and encourage water drinking.
At Emrys ap Iwan, Shire Services offer taster portions of new foods at lunchtimes for learners to try to help establish new favourites. Taster sessions are also planned throughout the year for learners to try new foods. Taster sessions are also held as appropriate for parents to see and try the new foods on offer. Contact the school for more information on planned taster sessions. The school also has an active SNAG (School Nutrition Action Group) which is a group made up of learners who plan, prepare and serve free tasters of foods from the menu for tasting once each half term. Both the SNAG group and the School Council work closely with Shire Services and the Leadership Group to ensure that learner voice is taken into consideration.
The 'Appetite for Life Action Plan' can be downloaded from the Welsh Assembly Government website and more information on the recommended guidelines for food, drink and nutrient based standards can be found on the school meal pages of the Physical Activity and Nutrition Networks Wales website.
If you think your child may be eligible for free school meals, contact the school office to find out more information. |

The Court of Cassation issues its ruling on the case known as “insulting the judiciary”, EOHR calls for the release of Mounib, al-Zayat, Qandil and al-Fakharani
A computer generation or two ago, IT managers fought a futile uphill battle to prevent rogue PCs from infiltrating the workplace, a battle fought largely in the name of data security. Their thinking was that if IT couldn’t manage it, they couldn’t secure it. Is history repeating itself with health care IoT devices?
Fast forward to the present health care environment. A new generation of digital devices, some authorized and others not, are flooding into hospitals. These Internet of Things (IoT) devices run the gamut, from highly sophisticated patient telemetry devices to smartphone-controlled outlets that remotely turn lights on or off. These devices two things in common: They are connected via the internet to send and receive data, and they rank among the most insecure digital devices anywhere. As a result, these connected devices should be the main source of concern in hospitals.
How vulnerable are some of these health care IoT devices? Consider last year’s highly publicized attack on Dyn, an internet backbone provider. Instead of going directly at their target, the attackers used a piece of malware called Mirai, which automatically discovers IoT devices — in this case, about 100,000 of them. Many were no more sophisticated than security cameras and baby monitors. The fraudsters then essentially lashed these compromised devices into a vast botnet, which was used to launch a successful distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack against Dyn, knocking out service for millions.
In hospitals, there are two kinds of IoT devices: those purchased by the hospital for patient care, and those increasingly brought into the workplace as convenience devices. Both types are often linked directly to the hospital’s Wi-Fi, which is often part of a flat network topology connecting all the hospital’s digital devices. It is entirely possibly for cybercriminals to gain access to that network via the less secure convenience devices.
Bear in mind that the growth expectation for IoT devices rival that of any other class of digital devices in history. Gartner estimated that the 8.4 billion IoT devices in use this year are up 31 percent over 2016, and said it expects that figure to swell to an astonishing 20.5 billion in 2020. Roughly 60 percent of these devices will be sold to consumers, while the remainder are special purpose business devices. To keep the consumer versions cheap, manufacturers make them with little to no security standards, and they usually arrive with very weak default passwords that few consumers bother to change.
Given this unstoppable tsunami of IoT devices, there are several practical steps that health care IT professionals ought to consider in the interests of cybersecurity. First, understand that certain industry-specific groups are taking the lead in trying to assure the security of various technologies, notably IoT devices. In health care, one of the groups is the Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST), which developed its Common Security Framework to address the many security, privacy and regulatory hurdles facing health care IT.
Consider establishing formal awareness training for all hospital staff members when it comes to IoT devices and their security ramifications. Most if not all hospitals already undertake security training to help employees ward off phishing attempts and other nefarious cybercriminal activities. With IoT consumer devices that might find their way into the workplace, there is a need to stress their many security weaknesses. Some hospitals may even pursue an outright ban on bringing external IoT devices into the workplace.
It is also worth considering creating an entirely separate subnetwork just for IoT devices. In the event of a security breach, this subnetwork and the devices on it can be effectively isolated from the rest of the network infrastructure, thereby limiting access and damage to other hospital systems. Security and network staffing shortages can make setting up such a subnet challenging, but there are excellent third-party experts capable of handling this for you.
Finally, and most importantly, a complete inventory of all IoT devices must become part of an overarching security risk assessment. You cannot manage or control what you don’t know exists. Only an assessment can yield this kind of information, with details on each device.
As more IoT devices enter the hospital, they need be systematically cataloged and incorporated into the broader security-focused inventory. As part of the risk assessment, consider conducting penetration tests of IoT devices — the results of which can serve as proof points for gaining support for security measures.
For practical purposes, there is no holding back the flood of IoT devices, both authorized and otherwise. The best security strategy is to get out front of this wave with practices and governance designed to secure what is already in place as well as what’s coming.

Mahfud MD, when meeting with Special Committee KPK Question Rights in parliament, Jakarta, July 18, 2017. TEMPO/Dhemas Reviyanto
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - MOHAMMAD Mahfud Md. knew full well the unease of the elderly public figures in the Pancasila Ideology Education Agency (BPIP) Steering Committee. Its nine members include the Chair of the Indonesian Ulama Council Ma'ruf Amin, former Muhammadiyah Chair Syafii Maarif, and former vice president Try Sutrisno. The reason for their discomfort: the size of their salaries, ranging from Rp100 to 112 million, was revealed to, and then criticized by, the public. In the midst of the ongoing lively discussions about salaries, the government proposed an increase in next year's budget for the BPIP by Rp576 billion.
Mahfud said that at a weekly meeting held at the council's offices within the presidential palace complex in Central Jakarta at the end of May, BPIP Steering Committee Chair Megawati Soekarnoputri opted to accept the criticism as she has had enough heartache. But Mahfud refused to concede. He took action and sought for an explanation for the salaries, all the way up to President Joko Widodo. "The salary of Pak Mahfud and the senior people is only Rp5 million, plus an allowance that brings it up to that amount," said Mahfud, quoting Jokowi.
This professor of constitutional law at the Indonesian Islamic University, Yogyakarta, sees the criticism on BPIP salaries as loaded with political overtones. He says the target of this is Megawati, the chair of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), the primary party supporting President Jokowi. But he refuses to admit that he is defending either side. "I just get dragged in along with them," said Mahfud, 61.
He met Tempo reporters Reza Maulana, Angelina Anjar, and Budiarti Putri at his office in Senen, Central Jakarta. The former chair of the 2014 Prabowo-Hatta National Victory Team spoke openly about the question of his possible candidacy as vice president, his relations with Jokowi and Prabowo Subianto, as well as about the resignation of BPIP Chief Yudi Latif. There were two question and answer sessions: an additional session took place on Saturday two weeks ago.
There has been lots of criticism about the high salaries paid to the members of the BPIP Steering Committee. What is your response to that?
As of right now on Sunday, June 3, 2018, at 1:30pm, the BPIP has never taken any funding from the state. All our activities are funded by the private sector. I also often give unpaid speeches about Pancasila. For instance, on May 16 I was invited to New York. All my needs were met by those who invited me. Then the Consulate General asked me to meet the Indonesians living there. In the end I had to have two sessions, one with the Indonesian Muslim community and another with the students.
Yes, but the BPIP did not pay a single cent. Until now I remain reluctant to even ask about, or take care of, any salary from there.
It was like being stung by bees. When I met them at the office, the older board members such as Pak Ma'ruf Amin were annoyed by it. But they said, 'Well, just let it be. That's fate. No need to let ourselves be bothered by it.'
I asked her, 'Bu, what should we do about this? Do we need to take a position on it?' She answered, "Oh, don't bother, Pak. I am used to such bullying.' But I said I wanted to fight it because I always end up getting dragged in to it.
From the outset of the fuss, I was sure that number was not the board members' salaries, but rather included their operational and other allowances. Minister of Finance Sri Mulyani apparently explained it in the same way. Then I met the President about it with plans to suggest that his decree on salaries be withdrawn. Money laundering crime expert Yenti Garnasih and Diponegoro University Rector Yos Johan both accompanied me. Before I could say very much, the President, who was accompanied by his Special Staff member Ari Dwipayana, said, 'Pak Mahfud, those reports are mistaken. The salaries of the ladies and gentlemen in the Steering Committee is only Rp5 million, plus allowances.'
With all due respect: yes. It is not a question of the amount, but the comparative figure. I was once a minister, a member of the DPR (House of Representatives), and Chair of the Constitutional Court. So I do know how much they all got. It was far greater than this.
I was a DPR member from 2004 to 2009, but quit in 2008 after moving to the Constitutional Court. Every month the salary paid directly into my account from the DPR was Rp48 million. Apart from that, for instance, for discussions on a law there was a Rp5 million allowance, constituents' funds of Rp46 million per quarter, house rental of Rp12.5 million a month. If I traveled overseas I received a business class ticket, five-star hotel accommodation, and pocket money of at least US$4,000 (equivalent to Rp55.5 million). If you add all that up, it could total Rp150 million a month.
The DPR was certainly the highest. I wasn't very aware of it while I was at the DPR, because all those amounts were paid through the bank. I never really checked. Once I was to become Chair of the Court (MK) I had to report my wealth to the Corruption Eradication Commission, right? I was shocked to see I had Rp4 billion in my account. I asked the DPR Secretariat-General to give me a breakdown. It all came from what I mentioned earlier: money for working visits, overseas trips on government business, and so on.
I don't know. It's up to others to say that. What I mean is that there should be a standard for setting salaries.

This episode we are joined first by Laura London who has a radio show devoted to exploring the works of Carl Jung and the Jungian method. She not only studied psychology at the University of Washington but is also a trained Remote Viewer. We begin by talking about how she initially got into Jung, she talks to us about the initial first steps she took in college and who she was before she really got into Jung. We then get into the idea of aliens and ghosts being internal vs. external where we learn that many of those into the paranormal have a false concept of what Jung’s work is actually like.
We are then joined by Bob Mitchell who is a UFO researcher/investigator/writer as well as an author of crime novels. We get into how Bob became interested in the abduction experience before getting into some of his stranger accounts. We talk to him about the Mantis beings, if they are good or evil. We discuss the Reptilians, the Grays and how the government is tied up in all of this. We ask Bob if he has ever had any fear of being targeted by negative alien groups or by the government.
This episode we are joined by the legendary Stewart Swerdlow who is possibly most famous for his involvement with the Montauk Project and more recently well known for speaking on Reptilians and Hollow Earth. We really get into it by learning how exactly it is possible to change realities and how the Reptilian sexual ritual magic can be used to ultimately move from one reality to the next. He fills us in on what exactly “Scorpion Programming is” to our amazement. Stewart tells us about the cover up of Hollow earth and how most people are programmed to not accept anything paranormal.
We finish off our show by talking to Chefist who has some notes to share about the Senda Monster. Many strange factoids are dropped which leave us wishing we could go back to talking about the Montauk Project..
We start off by taking a call from long time caller Frank From Las Vegas who calls to check in and ask about our opinions on Wrestlemania which prompts Daniel to give a quick review.
We are then joined by our first guest David M. Jacobs who is probably best known for being the author of the famous book “The Threat”. He talks to us how he initially became interested in UFO’s and how it got to the point where he has become one of the main investigators of UFO abduction. We talk a bit about communication between humans and aliens. David talks to us about how most alien abductions are negative and how the Mantis type beings seem to be at the top of the negative alien power structure. David makes it very clear that his studies into hypnotic regression have shown a definite pattern of negative alien interaction which follows family lines in order to keep it a secret.
We are then joined by our second guest Paul H. Smith who was part of the famous government remote viewing program. He talks to us about how he got started before then talking to us a bit about Ingo Swan who was his mentor. We ask Paul about intuition and then about other psychic powers such as telekinesis and telepathy. Paul talks to us about what is happening on the dark side of the moon. He then explains how both China and Russia both gave up their remote viewing programs around the same time and how he corresponds with the people who took part in those programs. He gives us a bit of a pointer how we can get started ourselves remote viewing. |

So...back in the middle of January, I blew out my knee. Thus began a concerted 2-month effort to walk properly and climb stairs again. Arthroscopic surgery happened at the beginning of February and physiotherapy began shortly after...just in time to be walloped with a huge mid-winter cold. I've been laid up for some time. All of this to explain a lack of blog posting...it's been a while. Anyway, back in the saddle.
Here's a quick catch-up post.
Painting is a 4-Letter Word, episode 3 from January. Better late than never!
I'd have to say that the best hobby time I've had over the past several months has been our monthly painting nights. We usually get five to seven local hobbyists (including a core of podcasters from Hobby Night in Canada) out for these events, and they've really been a good time.
Back at the beginning of February, I took a flight down to Vegas and attended the LVO. It was huge this year. The 40K tournament alone was well over 400 players.
And Vegas was good to me during the trip. Won a number of jackpots, including this sweet one for 2Gs...which really went a long way towards paying for some exorbitant hobby purchases!
Gaming-wise at the LVO, I was focused on Dropfleet. Played a number of games.
Including one against birthday boy, Ward Kapach.
Also attended a great painting workshop run by Aaron Lovejoy. Learned how to weather model surfaces with latex mould builder and acrylic paint.
More Dropfleet at the Tuesday Night Game Club.
And joined a Dropfleet escalation league up at Mission Fun and Games, run by our local Hawk Talon, Trevor. Our first game day saw 10 (!) players come out. Amazing.
While it's been pretty quiet for me on the painting front, I did manage to churn out some Dropfleet clusters with resin sector objectives from Hawk.
To finish up with this catch-up blog, I also ran a painting workshop up at Thunderground last Sunday. We had a good turnout, and I was able to share some fun techniques with the guys who came out.
Well, got lots of games in, despite being hobbled for the last several weeks. And Vegas was lots of fun. |

We don’t we have enough people asking why ? Kids are usually shot down for asking too many questions, however I endorse it. Don’t shut a child down for asking questions just because it is getting on your nerve. It seems to me that this child wants to know the meaning of things.
If we had more people asking why, the world would be constantly changing for the better. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself why do we say the pledge of allegiance or why we does food spoil after a certain time ? Alot of questions that you may have just remains unanswered because we are doing the norm. Don’t settle for not knowing, take advantage of Google or Wikipedia. There are too many resources nowadays for us to learn about anything that our heart desires.

That happens to me all the time and that’s the way I feel about this cable knit sweater pillow.
Throughout this post, you’ll see just how easy it is to make.
I’ve seen similar pillows in several high-end specialty stores as well as at a few big retailers like Pottery Barn and Macy’s just to name a few.
Let me tell you, this is one easy pillow to make.
Just grab a few old sweaters that you don’t mind cutting up.
You’ll also need some fun trim.
I found this faux mink trim at JoAnne’s fabric store, in the ribbon aisle.
Check the size of your pillow forms because this will determine what size sweater you use.
By the way, you can see a few of my other holiday-inspired pillows HERE and HERE.
Because the cable knit in the sweater is a bit see-thru, I decided to make a few pillow cases first.
I used ivory-colored muslin which is extremely thin and lightweight.
That way, if any of the pillow peeks through the sweater… it will blend in perfectly.
Measure the size of the pillowform and cut the sweater accordingly.
Don’t forget to add about a 1/2-inch for the seam allowance.
It’s always better to cut something like this too large because you can always trim it down if it’s too wide.
Pin the faux mink trim to the around the edge of one piece of your cutout.
NOTE: Make sure the two ends of the trim meet at the BOTTOM of the pillow. That way, if the two ends don’t come together perfectly, the imperfection will be concealed when propped up and no one will likely see it.
In this case, I attached the trim to one inside RIGHT side of one piece of sweater cut. This will make it easier to attache the other piece of sweater because the trim won’t shift as much.
Pin the second sweater cut over the first (right sides together) and stitch around the edge.
Turn inside out, fold pillow in half and stuff inside the new form and then hand stitch the opening closed.
I think the faux mink adds just the right amount of fancy-schmancy to this simple sweater pillow project.
Yup, it’s that easy… and for a fraction of the price you may find at a big retailer.
So, start looking around for those sweaters. |

This poem is written by Henry Wotton. The man is happy who is born and educated. He is true to his words and honest in thoughts. He has no fear of death. He is not jealous. The flatterers cannot deceive him. The cruel persons cannot ruin him. He passes his day in the company of religious book or a good friend. He has no fear of ups and downs of life. He has nothing of his own but has everything. The truth is his only skill. He is not controlled by his passions. He is always ready to face the death. He is not slave of others. His conscience is his fort.
This poem is written by Cecil Alexander. The poet says that the God has made all the things. He has created great objects like mountains and small things like tiny birds. He has made beautiful flowers and singing birds. He has gifted us cold winter and pleasant summer. He has created the tall threes and the meadows where we play. He has given us eyes to see and lips to praise them. The Almighty God is great Who is the creator of all these things.
This poem is written by Ann Taylor. The poetess tells us that her mother looked after he when she was a little child. When she was sleeping in her cradle her mother watched her and she shed tears of love. She dressed her with beautiful clothes. She listened her attentively that she had to say. Whenever she fell, her mother came running to save her. She told her a good story and kissed her forehead to make her normal. She has determined to serve her, when she will grow old, feeble and weak.
In this poem, the poet teaches us a moral lesson about our thoughts and deeds. Our little words and little deeds have good or bad effects on others. A bad word or cruel look can break hearts in the same way as the mishandling can crush a budding flower. Therefore, we should speak gently. We should behave well with others.
This poem is written by T.W. Emerson. According to poet, no nation can aspire greatness on the basis of its material resources (wealth) only. It is the members of the nations whose efforts and hard work can lift the nation to the heights of glory provided they are truthful, self-respecting, steadfast, hardworking and can bear trial manfully. It is the men not wealth that makes a nation great and strong. Wealth does not make a nation great and powerful. A nation cannot be great without brave men.
This poem is written by H.W. Longfellow. He says us to get up. We are too late. The angels are knocking at our door. They are in a hurry. They have to go. If we go on taking rest we will lose our strength. We will become like a barren land where only weeds grow.

1 STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS THE ARBORS CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION, UNPUBLISHED October 14, 2003 Plaintiff/Counterdefendant- Appellee, v No Oakland Circuit Court VICTORIA ABDELLA, LC No CH Defendant/Counterplaintiff- Appellant. Before: Kelly, P.J., and Cavanagh and Talbot, JJ. PER CURIAM. Plaintiff, The Arbors Condominium Association ( Arbors ), a Michigan non-profit condominium corporation, brought this action against defendant, a recorded co-owner of one of plaintiff s condominium units, to collect delinquent assessments and to seek foreclosure after plaintiff recorded two liens against defendant s condominium. Defendant counterclaimed, arguing that the late fees plaintiff charged and the liens filed against the property were illegal, and that the liens clouded her title to the property. Defendant appeals as of right from an order granting Arbors summary disposition and monetary judgment, and an order granting Arbors motion for summary disposition on defendant s counterclaim. We affirm. I Defendant s first issue on appeal is that the trial court erred in granting Arbors summary disposition because there was an issue of material fact regarding the amount she actually owed in delinquent condominium assessments. In support of this argument, defendant contends that Arbors wrongfully filed the first lien and, as a result, she was unable to refinance her home equity loan. Defendant argues that her inability to refinance her home equity loan caused her to default on the payment of the monthly assessment payments, ultimately leading to the filing of a second lien against her property and the instant legal proceedings. We disagree. Arbors motion for summary disposition was brought pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(9) and MCR 2.116(C)(10). Although the trial court did not state the particular subrule under which it decided the summary disposition motion, it is clear that the court relied on proofs outside the pleadings in reaching its decision. Accordingly, this issue will be reviewed under MCR -1-
2 2.116(C)(10). Kubisz v Cadillac Gage Textron, Inc, 236 Mich App 629, 633 n 4; 601 NW2d 160 (1999). We review a trial court s decision to grant a motion for summary disposition de novo. Spiek v Dep t of Transportation, 456 Mich 331, 337; 572 NW2d 201 (1998). When reviewing a motion granted under MCR 2.116(C)(10), this Court must examine all relevant documentary evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party and determine whether there exists a genuine issue of material fact on which reasonable minds could differ. Progressive Timberlands, Inc v R & R Heavy Haulers, Inc, 243 Mich App 404, 407; 622 NW2d 533 (2000). The nonmovant may not rest upon mere allegations or denials in the pleadings, but must, by documentary evidence, set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial. Quinto v Cross & Peters Co, 451 Mich 358, 362; 547 NW2d 314 (1996). MCL requires each condominium unit owner to comply with the project s master deed, bylaws, and the rules and regulations found in and promulgated under the Condominium Act. The lien recorded against defendant s property on March 15, 2000, provided that through March 1, 2000, defendant owed $ in unpaid assessments, exclusive of interest, late charges, costs and attorney fees.... However, the record indicates that the outstanding balance of $ included late charges and costs. Thus, defendant correctly points out that she only owed $95 in delinquent assessments only. The determination of the outstanding balance for purposes of filing the lien was based on MCL (1), which provides, in pertinent part: Sums assessed to a co-owner by the association of co-owners that are unpaid together with interest on such sums, collection and late charges, advances made by the association of co-owners for taxes or other liens to protect its lien, attorney fees, and fines in accordance with the condominium documents, constitute a lien upon the unit or units in the project owned by the co-owner at the time of the assessment.... [Emphasis added.] According to the statute, not only the unpaid assessments, but also any collection and late charges that have accrued to date, constitute a lien on the defaulting co-owner s property. Therefore, the statement in the lien providing that defendant had an outstanding balance of $ was accurate. The only inaccuracy was the statement that the outstanding balance excluded interest, late charges and other costs. MCL (1) does not require that a co-owner owe a certain amount in unpaid assessments before a lien on her property attaches, but rather, it provides that any unpaid assessments constitute a lien on the property. Given that it is clear from both the documentary evidence in the record and defendant s own admission that she was delinquent in her assessment payments at the time the first lien was filed, we conclude that the filing of that lien was not improper. We find unpersuasive defendant s argument that Arbors violated its own bylaws by filing the first lien. Defendant contends that Arbors acted contrary to its own bylaws because defendant was not two months in arrears at that time. The record indicates that during its August 18, 1999, meeting, plaintiff s board of directors decided that the process of filing a lien would take place routinely after a two month delinquency. As previously discussed, MCL (1) provides that any unpaid assessment constitutes a lien. A condo association is authorized to record the lien, which is a prerequisite to commencing foreclosure proceedings, MCL -2-
3 (3), as soon as a co-owner becomes delinquent in her payments. Arbors bylaws provide that the statute prevails in the event of a conflict between the bylaws and the provisions of the condominium act. Thus, Arbors was not obligated to wait until defendant was two months delinquent before filing the lien. Further, and contrary to defendant s claim, Arbors properly complied with is two-month delinquency rule. Defendant did not pay her monthly assessments for the months of January or February of 2000, resulting in a payment delinquency of over two months by the time the lien was placed in March. Although defendant made a $500 under protest payment on March 3, 2000, this payment was insufficient to satisfy the entire amount due. As the trial court concluded, Arbors two-month delinquency rule merely provided that Arbors will commence the process of filing a lien against a co-owner s property when a co-owner has failed to fully satisfy an outstanding balance for two consecutive months. Because defendant failed to pay the outstanding balance for the months of January through March 15, 2000, Arbors properly followed its two-month delinquency rule in filing the first lien against defendant s property. We also find without merit defendant s argument that the filing of the first lien prevented the refinancing of her home equity loan and put her in further financial difficulty. The record shows that, a few months after the first lien was filed, defendant made a $2,000 payment, satisfying her payment obligations and leaving her with a credit. In response, Arbors notified defendant that it would discharge the first lien upon receipt of the recorded lien from the Oakland County Register of Deeds. Arbors explained in a letter to defendant that it would take about seven to eight months before Arbors received the recorded lien. Arbors was careful to inform defendant that if she needed to refinance during that time, she should have the mortgage company contact Arbors lawyer who would provide the necessary documentation for the refinancing process. On this record, defendant has presented no evidence indicating that she ever attempted to refinance her home equity loan while the first lien was in place or that any such attempt was unsuccessful because of the lien s existence. Given the above, we conclude that the granting of Arbors motion for summary disposition in was proper. Defendant next argues that the trial court improperly granted Arbors motion for summary disposition on defendant s counterclaim that raised a claim of slander of title. Specifically, defendant contends that the motion should not have been granted when Arbors maliciously and wrongfully filed the first lien against the property. We disagree. In granting the motion, the court expressly ruled that defendant failed to state any claim upon which relief could be granted. A motion under MCR 2.116(C)(8) tests the legal sufficiency of a claim by the pleadings alone; the motion may not be supported with documentary evidence. Beaudrie v Henderson, 465 Mich 124, 129; 631 NW2d 308 (2001). A motion under MCR 2.116(C)(8) tests the legal sufficiency of the complaint. All well-pleaded factual allegations are accepted as true and construed in a light most favorable to the nonmovant. Maiden v Rozwood, 461 Mich 109, 119; 597 NW2d 817 (1999). Defendant s counter-complaint consisted of all of four short sentences in which she alleged that (1) the $20 late fee charged by Arbors was a penalty and contrary to the bylaws and Michigan law; (2) Arbors improperly placed the first lien on defendant s property; (3) Arbors failed, neglected or refused to have the first lien removed and it took several months to do so; and (4) the first lien was an improper cloud of defendant s title. -3-
4 As will be further discussed in this opinion, the $20 monthly late fees were not penalties and were not in violation of plaintiff s bylaws or Michigan law. Therefore, the first paragraph in the counterclaim is without merit. As to the fourth paragraph in the counterclaim, to establish slander of title, a plaintiff must show falsity, malice, and special damages in that the defendant maliciously published false statements that disparaged a plaintiff's right in property, causing special damages. B & B Investment Group v Gitler, 229 Mich App 1, 8; 581 NW2d 17 (1998). Special damages include litigation costs and impairment of vendibility. Id. at 9. A plaintiff must show that a defendant knowingly filed an invalid lien with the intent to cause the plaintiff injury. Stanton v Dachille, 186 Mich App 247, 262; 463 NW2d 479 (1990). Here, there is nothing in defendant s pleadings indicating that Arbors acted with malice in filing the lien. Defendant, therefore, failed to establish that the first lien improperly clouded her title. Thus, the court correctly concluded that defendant had failed to state a claim upon which relief could be granted and it properly granted Arbors motion for summary disposition on the counterclaim. II Defendant next argues that trial court erred in upholding the late fees that Arbors imposed on her. Specifically, defendant asserts that the fees were impermissible penalties and not liquidated damages, contrary to Michigan law and public policy. We disagree. Whether a liquidated damages provision is valid and enforceable or invalid as a penalty is a question of law which this Court reviews de novo. UAW-GM Human Resource Center v KSL Recreation Corp, 228 Mich App 486, 508; 579 NW2d 411 (1998), citing Moore v St Clair Co, 120 Mich App 335, 339; 328 NW2d 47 (1982). The courts are to sustain such provisions if the amount is "reasonable with relation to the possible injury suffered" and not "unconscionable or excessive." Moore, supra at 340, quoting Curran v Williams, 352 Mich 278, 282; 89 NW2d 602 (1958). On June 16, 1999, Arbors board of directors enacted a rule providing that, effective August 1, 1999, co-owners who failed to make timely maintenance payments would receive a written notice after seven days. If the payments were not made by the tenth day, a late fee of $20 would be assessed. Arbors bylaws provide that the board of directors has the authority to enact such rules without the consent of co-owners. On October 15, 1999, Arbors began charging defendant a $20 late fee per month for her unpaid assessments. As part of the monetary judgment entered in favor of Arbors, the trial court ordered defendant to pay all of the late fees that had accrued as of the date of commencement of the proceeding in this case. Defendant argues that Arbors should only charge a seven percent late fee, and that any damages not compensated for by such interest should be reasonably calculated according to what Arbors would have earned if it had promptly deposited the money into an interest-bearing account. We disagree. Because Arbors is a non-profit organization and is not in the business of investing money for profit, defendant s method of calculating plaintiff's damages is improper. In order for the late fees to be liquidated damages, the damages must be uncertain and the late fees must closely approximate the damages. E F Solomon v Dep't of State Highways & Transportation, 131 Mich App 479, ; 345 NW2d 717 (1984). The record shows that, while the amount of Arbors damages were uncertain, the $20 per month late fee was a reasonable estimation of the damages it suffered, especially considering the inconvenience of a -4-
5 late payment would cost administratively and for the steps that necessarily have to be taken to enforce the payment, such as extra bookkeeping and sending account statements and overdue bill notifications. Thus, we conclude the late fees were not penalties, but liquidated damages that were both valid and reasonable. Therefore, the trial court did not err in upholding the late fees. We also find defendant s argument that the late fees are usurious to be without merit. The usury statute, MCL , which establishes the legal interest rate that may be charged, is not applicable to a liquidated damages clause. Interest is "a charge for the loan or forbearance of money." Balch v Detroit Trust Co, 312 Mich 146, 152; 20 NW2d 138 (1945). A liquidated damages clause is not a charge for the loan or forbearance of money, but rather, is a charge to cover actual expenses engendered by a breach of contract. III Defendant next argues that the trial court improperly awarded Arbors post-order attorney fees. Specifically, defendant asserts that Arbors counsel had failed to provide an itemized explanation of the hours and nature of the work performed after the August 29, 2001, order was entered. Defendant also asserts that during the evidentiary hearing, the court became impatient and simply guessed on an appropriate amount of attorney fees to award and, as a result, defendant did not receive the evidentiary hearing to which she was entitled. We disagree. This Court reviews the trial court s award of attorney fees for an abuse of discretion. Joerger v Gordon Food Service, Inc, 224 Mich App 167, ; 568 NW2d 365 (1997). The Condominium Act was recently amended 1 to make the recovery of costs and attorney fees mandatory. MCL (b) provides: In a proceeding arising because of an alleged default by a co-owner, the association of co-owners or the co-owner, if successful, shall recover the costs of the proceeding and reasonable attorney fees, as determined by the court, to the extent the condominium documents expressly so provide. Arbors bylaws expressly provide that in a default proceeding, Arbors, if successful, shall be entitled to recover the costs of the proceedings and reasonable attorney fees determined by the court. In addition, in its August 29, 2001, order granting Arbors motion for summary disposition, the trial court ordered that [d]efendant shall be, and hereby is, obligated to pay all additional legal fees that Plaintiff Association reasonably incurs in attempting to collect the aforementioned sums and owing it throughout.... Thus, under MCL (b), Arbors bylaws, and the court s order, Arbors was entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees related to collection of judgment in the instant case. The record indicates that on December 5, 2001, the trial court held an evidentiary hearing to determine the reasonable amount of attorney fees Arbors should be awarded. At that hearing, 1 This statute was amended effective January 1, The amendments to MCL (b) do not affect our analysis. -5-
6 Lloyd Turner, the treasurer of plaintiff s board of directors, testified that on September 18, 2001, Arbors paid $580 in legal fees for representation related to its motion for summary disposition that was heard in August of This amount was not included in the $1, in attorney s fees awarded to Arbors in the August 29, 2001, order. There was also evidence presented that on October 11, 2001, Arbors paid an additional $ in attorney fees for legal services rendered during September of 2001 in relation to the collection of the judgment in the instant case. Upon hearing the testimony and reviewing the billing statements provided by Arbors, the court held that, in addition to the $1, in attorney fees that was awarded, Arbors was entitled to an additional $ ($580 plus $362.50) in attorney fees for legal services rendered in attempting to collect judgment since entry of the August 29, 2001, order, and thus, the total amount in attorney fees owed to Arbors was $2, The court found that when the total was divided by Arbors counsel s hourly rate of $145, it equaled approximately 15 ½ hours, which the court believed was a very reasonable fee at a very low rate, especially in light of defense counsel s admission that even he had put in more than fifteen hours of work on the instant case. From our review of the record, we conclude that the court s award of additional attorney fees was not randomly determined, but was reasonably based on testimonial and documentary evidence presented at the hearing regarding the amount Arbors had paid in legal fees since entry of the earlier order. Thus, the court did not abuse its discretion in awarding additional attorney fees. Defendant is not entitled to another evidentiary hearing. Affirmed. /s/ Kirsten Frank Kelly /s/ Mark J.

1 Punctuation in Academic Writing Academic punctuation presentation/ Defining your terms practice Choose one of the things below and work together to describe its form and uses in as much detail as possible, including contrasting with other things. (Round) brackets Apostrophe Bold Bullet points Capital letters Colon Comma Dash Dot dot dot Emoticons (smileys, etc) Exclamation mark Forward slash Full stop Hyphen Indent Italics Numbering Question mark Quotation marks Semicolon Square brackets In contrast whereas unlike Contrasting According to If we take as an example Generalising from this example, Useful language Giving additional information In addition We should also perhaps add A related use is Other useful language Ask your teacher about any which you aren t sure of, especially any differences. Match up the pieces of paper your teacher gives you to make explanations of some of the things above. AND/ OR Write the names of some of the things above in descriptions that you are given. Check your answers, then ask your teacher about any you still aren t sure about. Answer the comprehension questions from memory, then look for the answers in the texts.
2 Answer the Questions about Punctuation in Academic Writing What kinds of words are not capitalised in titles? What linking words are usually followed by a comma? What s the difference between semicolons and commas with lists? What kind of brackets are most likely with the expression sic (used to show that there is a mistake in the quoted text)? Why might a writer join what could be two sentences with a semicolon instead? What changes might be needed to the sentences to make that possible? Is that recommended by the text? Give examples of things which are usually in brackets rather than between paired commas. How do you know whether something should be in brackets or paired commas, rather than just forming part of the flow of the sentence? What punctuation is similar to a dash? Which are preferred in academic writing? Try to answer the questions about the other punctuation. How can you divide up information in a list introduced with a colon? What are the differences between single and double quotation marks? How can you know which ones to use? Are contractions with apostrophes acceptable in academic writing? Apart from actual quoting, what can quotation marks be used for in academic writing?
3 1. As well as the obvious uses (starting sentences, days of the week, months, proper nouns, etc), are used at the beginning of the main words of names of things such as books and articles. By main words, we mean not grammar words like determiners ( a, an, the, etc), prepositions (words like to, of and for ) or conjunctions (such as and and but ), unless they are the first word in the title. It is sometimes confusing whether something should be considered the name of something or simply a description. For example, Central London would mean following the official description of that (zones and two), whereas central London would be a more general or personal definition. 2. A signals a break in the flow of the sentence, including separate[ing] extra information from the main idea of the sentence, separate[ing] linking words from the main idea of the sentence [and] resolv[ing] ambiguity. [1] Examples of linking words and phrases which are usually followed by a include furthermore, however, similarly, again, therefore, consequently, in conclusion and finally. s are also used to divide up lists, with semicolons being used for lists where each item is more complicated.
4 3. To quote wholesale from The Chicago Manual of Style 16 th Edition: (in the United States usually just called brackets) are used in scholarly prose mainly to enclose material usually added by someone other than the original writer that does not form a part of the surrounding text. Specifically, [ ] enclose editorial interpolations, explanations, translations of foreign terms, or corrections. They can also be used surrounding three dots to show parts of the text which were edited out, as in the quote given above. To avoid round brackets within round brackets, the inner ones can also be replaced with. 4. The online Macmillan dictionary defines a as a punctuation mark [ ] that is used to separate words in a list, or two parts of a sentence that can be understood separately (retrieved from 10 May 2013), but the first part of the definition could easily refer to a comma. The difference in this case is that s are used for more complex lists, often ones introduced with a colon, and perhaps even ones with commas within the items on the list (although this can be confusing and is not usually good style). The second use given by the Macmillan dictionary is more similar to that of a full stop, but emphasising the connection or similarity between the two clauses more than a full stop would and perhaps replacing a linking word. This use is difficult even for native speakers and so is best avoided.
5 5. According to the Macmillan dictionary website, (or parenthesis in American English) are used in writing or mathematics for showing that the piece of information or set of numbers between them can be considered separately. However, this is also true of paired commas. We therefore need to be more precise, adding that are generally used for information which is more complex or further from the main topic of the sentence than information between paired commas usually is. This tends to include examples and references to other parts of the page, such as (see below) and (Fig. 2.3). In academic writing they are also of course used in referencing, enclosing the year of publication, or author and year of publication. As with paired commas, the general rule for information in brackets is that you should be understand the sentence even with those words removed. 6 A should not be confused with a hyphen, which is shorter and is usually used between words. A has similar functions to brackets or paired commas (dividing extra information from the rest of the sentence) and one of the functions of a semicolon (connecting two clauses, often replacing a linking word, in a way which shows a closer connection that two sentences would). In general, though, other punctuation marks like those just mentioned are preferred to dashes in academic writing.
6 Put the punctuation back into the examples Capital letters as well as the obvious uses starting sentences days of the week months proper nouns etc capital letters are used at the beginning of the main words of names of things such as books and articles by main words we mean not grammar words like determiners a an the etc prepositions words like to of and for or conjunctions such as and and but unless they are the first word in the title it is sometimes confusing whether something should be considered the name of something or simply a description for example central london would mean following the official description of that zones and two whereas central London would be a more general or personal definition Colon the online macmillan dictionary gives examples of the use of a colon as before an explanation or list retrieved 12 May 2013 the oxford advanced learners dictionary 5 th ed 1995 also mentions an example a summary of what precedes it or a contrasting idea and to this we can add the more common academic situations of long and complex lists usually presented with numbers or bullet points or divided by semicolons Square brackets to quote wholesale from the chicago manual of style 16 th edition square brackets in the united States usually just called brackets are used in scholarly prose mainly to enclose material usually added by someone other than the original writer that does not form a part of the surrounding text specifically square brackets enclose editorial interpolations explanations translations of foreign terms or corrections they can also be used surrounding three dots to show parts of the text which were edited out as in the quote given above
7 Complete the defining your terms phrases Put one word into each of the gaps below, from your memory or own ideas Capital letters As well the obvious uses (starting sentences, days of the week, months, proper nouns, etc), capital letters are used at the beginning of the main words of names of things such as books and articles. main words, we mean not grammar words like determiners ( a, an, the, etc), prepositions (words like to, of and for ) or conjunctions (such as and and but ), they are the first word in the title. It is sometimes confusing something should be considered the name of something or simply a description. For example, Central London mean following the official description of that (zones and two), whereas central London would be a more general or personal definition. Colon The online Macmillan Dictionary examples of the use of a colon as before an explanation or list. The Oxford Advanced Learner s Dictionary (5 th Ed., 1995) also an example, a [ ] summary of what precedes it, or a contrasting idea, and this we can add the more common academic situations of long and complex lists. Semicolon The online Macmillan dictionary defines a semicolon a punctuation mark [ ] that is used to separate words in a list, or two parts of a sentence that can be understood separately (retrieved 10 May 2013), but the first part of the definition could easily refer a comma. The difference this case is that semicolons are used for more complex lists. (Round) brackets According to the Macmillan dictionary website, round brackets ( parenthesis in American English) are used writing or mathematics for showing that the piece of information or set of numbers between them can be considered separately. However, this is true of paired commas. We therefore need to be precise, adding round brackets are generally used for information which is more complex or further from the main topic of the sentence. Dash A dash should not be confused a hyphen, which is shorter and is usually used between words. A dash has similar functions brackets or paired commas (dividing extra information from the rest of the sentence) and one of the functions of a semicolon (connecting two clauses, often replacing a linking word, in a way which shows a closer connection that two sentences would). general, though, other punctuation marks like those just mentioned are preferred to dashes in academic writing. Check with the original texts. Many other answers are possible, so please check with your teacher before changing the words that you put.

Researcher at Washington Institute for Near East Policy Visits EPC Emirates Policy Center | 23 September 2018
We can say that Israel today is facing a unique opportunity as a result of regional events. Wasting a chance that provides Israel with common interests in the region cannot be forgiven. There are a series of steps within Israel’s reach that enable it to play a regional role to establish its position for generations to come. The indifference by Israeli decision-makers to exploit available opportunities in the region is hard to understand. The crumbling colonial borders in Iraq and Syria and the possibility of establishing a Kurdish state provides Israel with a real opportunity to cooperate with moderate Arab states in facing extreme organizations because Israel has a security and economic power which it can employ to serve regional security. On the other hand, the growing threats by radical Islam in the Middle East have forced most Arab countries to look for stability. The resolve of moderate Arab states has made a bulwark against the extreme religious threat. These countries also realize the need to confront religious violence, which poses a threat for demarcation and stable countries in the region. Israel’s participation to find stability in the region will increase its revenues, open new markets for its goods and meet the Israeli youth’s desire in a welfare state with equal rights. Therefore, Israel’s need to bolster its military, information, security and economic capabilities in the region is an existential one based on common strategic interests. But how did Israeli authorities respond to this opportunity? They are responding by building more settlements, enacting undemocratic laws, turning their backs to the West and the regional opportunity for cooperation with moderate Arab states! Despite the available opportunities for Israel to engage and build confidence with countries in the region, it seems that the message conveyed to the chiefs of the five powerful agencies in Israel - the army, the Shin Bet, the Mossad, the Police and the judiciary – is no to taking the initiative and action in the region. The majority of former security officials do not understand how can Israel hide behind building settlements and stand helpless in front of the opportunity of the century. The dynamic of time is so important. American President Barack Obama once considered Recep Tayyip Erdogan one of the closest five leaders in the world. After sometime Erdogan, however, revealed his extremism and the Americans moved to cooperate with his Kurdish enemies. This dynamic provides Israel with a big opportunity today. Israel, however, is cornered and Israeli Premier Benyamin Netanyahu is utilizing the regional desire to cooperate with Israel to boost settlements and racism. Because there is no one to pressure him in the region now, which means that wasting the available opportunity is a huge loss. Source:By Sefi Rachlevsky

Santiago Canyon College Art Gallery Proudly Presents "AEROSOL: The Graffiti Effect"
(Orange, CA) - The Santiago Canyon College (SCC) Art Gallery is proud to present “AEROSOL: The Graffiti Effect,” a bold exhibit honoring the culture and art of graffiti, the first ever of this type for the college. The exhibit will feature the art of three established graffiti artists from two well-known crews: Xplode CBS, Boise CBS, Booh AWR; and collaborative work by Rob Carmona, Naomi Altamirano and Brandon Cisneros.
Graffiti, originating as an ancient practice of visual communication, exploded in the United States in the early 1970’s. Often associated with vandalism and gang activity, “AEROSOL,” will educate the public on the richness and complexity of the art form, and the misconceptions of those who created it. An exhibit of this nature is especially significant in Orange County since graffiti is scarce here, and “AEROSOL” therefore offers the rare opportunity to see outstanding graffiti art in a local environment. The artists are presenting works that transcend time and space to share the legacy of graffiti from the streets to its impact in design, illustration and experimental art.
In addition to traditional media, the gallery is featuring footage of the artist’s creations on walls, in order to commemorate the exciting yet unfortunate aspect of graffiti: its transient nature. The exhibiting artists have been working in this medium from as young as 10 years of age, citing early inspiration from exposure to the urban landscape of Los Angeles, the Cartoon Network, Disney, Atari games, Hip-Hop culture, Punk, anti-authoritarian expressions of free-will, artists ranging from Michelangelo to Salvador Dali, and even fashion, cars and design. We invite you to experience the world of graffiti. |

Thanksgiving is upon us and so is the yearly conundrum: what, as educators, do we say and do surrounding Thanksgiving? In this episode, we unpack our own experiences learning and teaching the lie of the “First Thanksgiving” and the mindset shift we both engaged in so that we could begin revealing the truth.
It’s important to note that neither of us grew up knowing the truth about Thanksgiving; we both experienced the “traditional” white-washed teaching of the “First Thanksgiving.” It required a lot of self-directed learning on the topic to get to where we are now… which is the case for SO many educators. There are many adults, teachers even, that still don’t know that the “First Thanksgiving” is a falsehood. It’s our job to do better when we know better and to help others do the same.
“Righting a wrong” isn’t the only reason to stop teaching the lie of the “First Thanksgiving.” There are so many reasons – to create space and hear the narratives of marginalized peoples in our historical record, to ensure that we’re allowing our learners opportunities for critical discourse, and to honor the humanity and dignity of indigeous peoples in America today.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie gave an incredible TED Talk on the danger of a single story. This applies to so much of our discourse – written, oral, recorded – but I’m particularly struck by it in terms of how history is presented to learners.
This post, from Jessica Lifshitz, is an incredible resource for teaching beyond the single story. We strongly encourage you not only to read and use this piece, but to follow Jess on Twitter: @Jess5th.

Leverage local resources and use this time as an opportunity to honor and teach about local tribes (November is, in fact, Native American History Month). The National Congress of American Indians has a database that can be utilized to find tribes local to your area.
Use the correct terminology with your learners and conversations surrounding that as a springboard for further exploration of history. This article is a great place to start exploring the language-aspect of this conversation.
Teach about thankfulness as a general practice rather than emphasizing the lie of the “First Thanksgiving.” Tamara has created an entire unit on thankfulness, which you can find here.
Utilize visuals – such as paintings like “The First Thanksgiving” – to discuss bias, historically and in modern representations of history. Ask the curious, open-ended questions that lead to learners comparing and contrasting the positioning/perspectives in the visuals. (Example: “What do you notice about the body language of the pilgrims vs. the Native Americans?”) Beyond the Bubble offers many great options, including this activity on “The First Thanksgiving.”
Use primary and secondary sources and allow students to analyze them in contrast to modern texts and representations of the time. The Library of Congress offers a free teacher’s guide and resource set for just such an exploration of Thanksgiving, past and present.
Culminate your study with a high engagement activity like the one Tamara details here, the activity she shares in this episode. Learners are able to work collaboratively, which not only increases their overall engagement but allows for differing perspectives.
Use tradebooks, such as “Encounter” by Jane Yolen (affiliate link), to present students with multiple perspectives of a time-period. While “Encounter” tells the story of Columbus’s arrival to San Salvador from the perspective of a Taino boy, it’s a good entry point for discussions of perspective surrounding “The First Thanksgiving.”
Social media is a virtually inescapable part of our society. Social media’s impact on teaching has been complicated, and has, in some ways, led us away from conversations about best practices. In this episode, we unpack the role of social media and best practices in teaching, and discuss why best practice is never a dirty word.
Equity in education covers so many facets of our learners and our educational system. Everyone has a niche – something that they’re passionate about within their role as an educator. Every niche has issues of equity that must be address. Start there. Live there. Be passionate about equity within your niche.
Our practice as teachers is the centerpiece of our life’s work; we’re passionate about what we do and why. But we must – MUST – be willing to have conversations about what’s best for students and be willing to be reflective about our wants versus students’ learning needs. Conversations about best practices have to be an integral part of our spaces.
Whether we like it or not, most of us are influenced by what we consume on social media. If, in your education spaces, you are following only accounts that show you the beautifully curated “window-dressing” of teaching you run the risk of burning yourself out trying to achieve it and watering down your practice in the process. We owe it to ourselves to cultivate a well-balanced diet on social media: following those that are where we are, being a model – and a hand – to those that want to be where we are, and following those that inspire us and reinvigorate our practice. Following a diet of “candy bar” window-dressing will leave us filling full for a moment, but empty over time.

True friendship is so rare yet so necessary in the work of educational equity. For one, equity can often be a heavy topic. It can be difficult to exist in that heaviness without someone that gets you and understands where your perspective is and where you’re coming from. There’s no end-point to this work toward equity. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
When you’re living in that head-space… you need someone that’s going to sustain you, not someone that’s going to make you feel good for a couple of minutes and then you’re left living this and doing this work all on your own. It’s an awesome thing to be able to connect with people – whether it’s at your school site or online (like we did). It’s necessary in this work because it’s hard and can get gritty… and you do need someone that’s got your back.
What we did on this episode is interview one another so that you can get to know the women behind Equi-TEA, as well as a little bit more about why we’re so passionate about this work. We hope you’ll enjoy getting to know us – please connect with us in the comments to tell us a little about you!
Equi-TEA is a collective project, developed by two friends and educators, focused on issues of equity facing education today. |

Questioning what constitutes the characteristics of ecologically responsible architecture, may not now seem like such an extraordinary pursuit. Yet in 1970's when a young Malaysian born architectural student called Ken Yeang asked the question it was considered quite radical.
Ken Yeang studied architecture at the Architectural Association (AA) in London, an institution with a tradition of radical thinking. It was here that he first began to question architectures role within the context of a growing concern for the environment, energy and sustainability.
In 1971 Ken Yeang became one of the first architects to undertake a PhD on the subject of ecological design. He enrolled in the doctoral programme in the Department of Architecture at Cambridge University. His dissertation submitted in 1974 was entitled ‘A Theoretical Framework for the Incorporation of Ecological Considerations in the Design and Planning of the Built Environment'. After suffering some delays he was awarded his PhD in 1981 and his dissertation was later published in 1995 under the title ‘Designing With Nature: The Ecological Basis for Architectural Design'.
‘It is easy to be misled or seduced by technology and to think that if we assemble enough eco-gadgetry in the form of solar collectors, photovoltaic cells, biological recycling systems, building automation systems and double skin facades in one single building this can automatically be considered ecological architecture...to be fully effective, these technologies need to be thoroughly integrated into the building fabric; they will also be influenced by the physical and climatic conditions of the site. The nature of the problem is therefore site specific. There will never be a standard "one size fits all" solution.'
This statement seems to encapsulate Dr Yeang's lifelong dedication to developing an architectural design approach that goes beyond ‘greenwashing' and ‘tick boxing' certification systems. His ultimate goal has always been the creation of ‘benign' built forms that compliment and work within the planet's delicate biosystems.
Back in Malaysia, in his own architectural practice, begun in mid 1970's with Tengku Robert Hamzah, Dr Yeang started applying his sustainable design methodology to both real world, theoretical writing, and competition projects. Three main forces initially drove this methodology.
The first was climatic. That buildings should be designed to optimise the ambient conditions within spaces and this would ultimately result in new building forms that are specific to their locations. The second was cultural. That architecture needs to respond to the local conditions of life. The third was aspirational and driven by the desire of countries within the tropical zones to join the ‘developed' world, requiring a change from traditional low-rise structures to a modern high-rise strategy.
These three methodologies culminated in the development of the bioclimatic skyscraper, for which Ken Yeang has become most famous. He proposed an approach to tall buildings that respond to the climatic conditions of their site. Often incorporating the integration of vegetation and vertical gardens, use of skycourts, natural ventilation and the influence of solar geometry to achieve self-shading structures.
Yeang's development of ideas for a climate-generated architecture, radically changed preconceptions about appropriate forms for high-rise and urban planning. Many of the ecologically sustainable buildings being developed today, owe their design principles to the methodology Ken Yeang developed almost forty years ago.
He continues to apply his principles of ecoarchitecture today in his practice T. R. Hamzah and Yeang and it's sister offices in the UK as Llewelyn Davies Yeang and in China as North Hamzah Yeang Architectural and Engineering Company (Beijing).

Every June, WIM / MedSpan sponsors a health-themed street fair featuring local music, food, art projects, theater and games along with health awareness programs. This event is now a tradition born in 2012 with the inaugural event conceived by international artist Miralda to celebrate the opening of the new clinic building on South Street and the culturally rich neighborhood.
Throughout the year, WIM / MedSpan sponsors free seminars and workshops on specific prevalent health topics such as nutrition for adults and children for the prevention of diabetes mellitus, colon cancer, blood pressure, and other current issues such as teenager pregnancy, HIV and STD. These are held at The Annex, the ground floor of the old clinic building on Roebling Street.
FUPAC has served Dominican Republic communities since its founding with doctors of different medical specialties assisting patients in need; and beginning 2015, in Haiti (Cap Haitien). Dr. George, Drs. Rebecca Raoof and Nabil Raoof have participated several years. Dr. Caro is actively involved in all projects to date with doctors and dentists.
Through the generosity of artists affiliated with the clinic and friends, the walls have been hung with a lively selection of their artwork. Complementary activities, workshops and exhibitions were organized at The Annex, with the intention of bringing together the young and the old to share their multi-generational experiences and partake in the ever-growing and enriching cultural influx of the city. |

Enthusiast system builds are not always about having the best of everything but sometimes more about picking the right equipment to make everything work. For instance, if you wanted to run NVidia video cards in SLI you would be limited to only Intel systems that supported the technology. AMD Crossfire on the other hand was supported on both Intel and AMD platforms making it a logical choice for enthusiast builders on a budget. Of course enthusiasts are not all about gaming performance or proper video card support but sometimes just need a system that can overclock with some solid community backing.
In this review we will be looking at the Asus Crosshair V Formula. This is a top of the line Republic of Gamers motherboard based on the AMD 990FX chipset supporting the latest AM3+ processors including the new AMD FX "bulldozer" line.

This quick and fool proof recipe for Blondies has become my go-to hostess gift this summer. Very few people are able resist these buttery bite-sized squares especially as every last nibble is heavily filled with creamy chocolate and crunchy nuts. I also loved that I learned a new-to-me trick from Cooks Illustrated which detailed how to line the baking dish with foil so that you can easily extract baked goods from the pan and then slice them into neat and tidy squares. You know how much I love everything to be orderly.
Another great item to have on hand for making more aesthetically pleasing treats is a baking pan with straight edges. You can obviously use a traditional curved edge oblong Pyrex but it’s so much nicer to have a pan that will yield a crisp and clean perimeter.
One last suggestion. Whatever you do, please don’t ever buy those horrible white chocolate chips sold by the bagful. They are cloyingly sweet and taste just awful. I always find that it’s best to chop up a good quality white chocolate bar when a recipe calls for the addition of white chocolate chips. Trust me. There is a huge difference in flavor.
A note from Cooks Illustrated: Be very careful not to overbake the blondies; they dry out easily and will turn hard. Start checking the oven a couple of minutes before they will be done.
Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 350 degrees. Spread nuts on large rimmed baking sheet and bake until deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer nuts to cutting board to cool; chop coarsely and set aside.
While nuts toast, cut 18-inch length foil and fold lengthwise to 8-inch width. Fit foil into length of 13 by 9-inch baking pan, pushing it into corners and up sides of pan; allow excess to overhang pan edges. Cut 14-inch length foil and fit into width of baking pan in same manner, perpendicular to first sheet (if using extra-wide foil, fold second sheet lengthwise to 12-inch width). Spray foil-lined pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Whisk melted butter and brown sugar together in medium bowl until combined. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well. Using rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into egg mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in chocolate and nuts and turn batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with rubber spatula.
Bake until top is shiny, cracked, and light golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes; do not overbake. Cool on wire rack to room temperature. Remove bars from pan by lifting foil overhang and transfer to cutting board. Cut into 2-inch squares and serve.
Foil in the pan? So simple. Perfect and makes me feel a little more confident about attacking another brownie recipe. That’s the most difficult part to me, getting them out of the pan!
And the white chocolate chips, I’ve thought the very same thing but never thought about a substitute.
Beautiful! the foil trick works great, doesn’t it? I really love the pans with square corners, but do I own any? No.
I figured out the foil in the pan thing after making fudge and lining the pan with wax paper. Same idea. I adore blondies. I prefer them without nuts but take what I can get. I’m blondie-easy that way. And the square pans are nice for a clean edge – I just hate trying to clean the corners. Gorgeous looking treats, Erin!
What symmetrical blondies! I agree on using the white chocolate bar. White chips aren’t usually even made with cocoa butter, that’s why they’re labeled something like “white morsels” – they’re not allowed to call it chocolate because there’s no chocolate in there!
You have some lovely blondies on your hands! I agree about white chocolate chips…the worst is when you try and melt them. These look amazing and definitely a great go-to recipe.
Also? could not agree more about the white chips/chunked bar. I’m not a HUGE fan of white chocolate, but when I do make something that has it in it, I go straight to the bar.
(funny… I used to go straight to the bar before I got into baking, too. but those were different times, and very different bars.)
And is is bad that I’m a little smug that I’ve been doing the foil in the pan trick forever for my brownies? I can’t believe I knew a slick cooking trick that you didn’t already utilize! 😉
Those look wicked good. Man, I wish my girlfriend liked blondies. But she doesn’t, so I can’t really make them. I mean I could, but then I would eat them all by myself. And get sick. Not to mention fat. Heh.
I was thinking about making seven layer bars for a BBQ this weekend, but now I’m reconsidering. The Blondies are a personal favorite and these look delicious!
Good idea on chopping up the chocolate! My husband loves white chocolate, but even he doesn’t like those gross chips.
I am invited to a picnic birthday party Saturday and these sounds like a great thing to bring. Thank you!
And, yes, I do agree about the white chocolate chips, but same on the semi sweet chocolate, unless you buy top notch, you are better off chopping a bar.
I do the same with parchment paper because getting bars out of the sqaured off pans is nearly impossible!
This is a good one, though I will probably save it for fall / winter. The idea of the over on for more than 15 minutes is too much for me in the NY summer hot & sticky weather 🙂
bookmarked!! i have my go to recipe for blondies but these look so beautiful that i must give them a try 🙂
I have never had a blondie before but I have heard PLENTY about them. I’m intrigued. I think I should rummage around my pantry to see if I have all the ingredients. 🙂
I always thing of Blondies as a bake sale staple. I am feeling a bit homesick so I might have to make a batch to bring in as a post-lunch snack at work.
I have never even thought of lining my brownie pans…and I don’t know why, considering I make them all the time.
love the foil in the pan idea, and i’m with you on the white chips. i adore green and black’s white choc! the pan? well, i’ll have to hold off on that one… until i get better funded 😉
If you live in SF, CA … Try the white chocolate blocks in the bulk section at Rainbow Grocery. I admit that I like white chocolate … Well I like ALL chocolate. These blocks are the best tasting white chocolate I have encountered. Plus, you can purchase exactly how much you need.
I totally agree with you on the white chocolate! I’m in love with Chris Kimball of Cook’s Illustrated and think blondies are amazing, so I might just have to try these 🙂
These Blondies look awesome and appear (short of actually baking a pan right now) to be THE Blondies that I knew and loved at Just Desserts store fronts in San Francisco back in the 80’s. I have never come across those Blondies in all these years, even though my wife (who linked me to this site) has tried over and over to reproduce the Just Desserts version.
Ok..I see where I went wrong the first time. My baking powder was from 2003 (cringe) and I creamed the butter and sugar instead of melting it..being a rebel isn’t always a good thing.
I agree – these are fabulous! I made them today from The America’s Test Kitchen Family Cookbook, where they were republished, and my GOD are these good!!! I made four recipes side-by-side that I’d loved in the past (Ben & Jerry’s Dessert Book, The Mixer Bible, and the Cook’s Country reduced fat-version (new to me)), and this was the clear winner, and just fabulous. I love the addition of white chocolate chips (I use the Cook’s Illustrated recommended Guittard Choc-au-lait white chocolate chips which are really good, which my Cost Plus World Market carries and I’ve also bought on Amazon), because they are not only delicious, but they don’t cover up the base flavor of the blondie like semisweet chocolate chips do (those are delicious in the ratio in this recipe, though). I love Cook’s Illustrated, America’s Test Kitchen, and Cook’s Country. And I LOVE this blondie recipe!!!

This paper uses methods based on corpus statistics and synonymy to explore the role language history and sound/form relationships play in conceptual organization through a case study relating the phonaestheme gl- to its prevalent Proto-Indo European root, *ghel. The results of both methods point to a strong link between the phonaestheme and the historical root, suggesting that the lineage of a language plays an important role in the distribution of linguistic meaning. The implications of these findings are discussed.
Good evening Kovacsians. When Edie Adams passed away last week I sent an email to our good friend Jack Phillippe, who grew up in Philadelphia and as a young man was a guest on a January 1952 episode of "Kovacs On The Corner."
Hearing of Edie's passing made Jack reminisce about growing up in Philly during the 1950's and watching the great television shows of that time. He wanted to share some artifacts from his collection with all of us and has been gracious enough to take the time to send me some scans.
The first is of an EEFMS card; it's an original from Ernie's very first show on WPTZ Channel Three, NBC in Philadelphia, "3 To Get Ready." Jack sent this once before and I posted it, but this time its a bit bigger and clearer. Enjoy:
One staple of Philadelphia televison in the 1950s was Officer Pete Boyle, played by that icon of Philadelphia Kids' TV Peter Boyle Sr.. Pete Sr. was the father of the late actor Peter Boyle Jr. most recently of "Everybody Loves Raymond" fame. "Offcier Pete Boyle" appeared in his own shows on WPTZ and many times as a guest on Ernie's. In fact, he played his "Officer Boyle" character the day that Jack appeared as a guest on "KOTC!"
Jack went to high school with Peter Boyle Jr. in the 1950s and Peter was an actor even back then. These photos are some extracts from a playbill that Jack kept from his high school days; they're for a musical called "Song Of Norway" in which the young Mr. Boyle appeared.
Peter Boyle Sr. hosted a very well known kids show in Philly called "Chuckwagon Pete" in which played the title character. Here's an ad he took out in the playbill:
You can click on the "Peter Boyle Sr." link above to see a photo of "Chuck Wagon Pete" and read more about the show.
P.S.- The Ernie Kovacs My Space Fan Page is up to 828 friends since our last post. As always we thank everyone who requested an add or accepted a request from us. We also thank you for the nice comments sent about Edie.
Jack wanted me to let everyone know that the year of the play was 1952, the first year he entered high school.

The Ernie Kovacs Collection: Volume 2 which will be officially released on Tuesday, October 23, 2012.
"The Ernie Kovacs Phile", a wonderful book by the late David Walley (aka "Nothing In Moderation: The Ernie Kovacs Story").
"Intersecting Parallels: Keaton and Kovacs," a wonderful article by Rob Foster. Here is the Paley Center For Media’s catalog listing for the pilot discussed in the article. It is available for viewing at either the New York or Los Angeles locations. Rob also wrote a great piece called Square Bubbles: Broadband In Kovacsland which poses the question of what Ernie might have been doing were he alive today. Rob also wrote a Kindle book of preexisting and new material, entitled "Ernie's Journey's."
The "Kinescope HD" Blog, run by Paul Gluck, is a fantastic blog about the early days of TV. You can search there for posts on Ernie and other greats from the Golden Age Of Television. Here's a post on EK's "The Silent Show" (aka "Eugene").
EK used to write a parody of " Ripley's Believe It Or Not" called "Strangely Believe Its" for Mad Magazine. Here's a scan of an installment.
This page on The Broadcast Pioneers Of Philadelphia Website talks about Ernie’s early days on WPTZ in Philadelphia, particularly the legendary and first ever morning show on television, "3 To Get Ready". No copies of this program exist; in fact it’s listed on The Paley Center For Media’s "Television Programs We’re Looking For" list. This 1951 newspaper article talks about Dave Garroway and mentions EK; it was Garroway's return to the airwaves to host "Today" that would eventually force "3 To Get Ready" off the air.

Even though Ernie Kovacs was the original video comedian and was so visual, there are very few clips on this blog and on my website. In most cases I can’t verify that the parties who post these clips (e.g. on sites such as YouTube and Facebook) have the right to do so and it’s not up to me to decide if they do, so as a general rule I don’t post clips. My feeling is that this material should be legally purchased so that the royalties go to the parties who own the rights. And, just because you purchase something, that doesn’t give you the right to post it online. In some cases the rights holders allow this streaming content on sites they run; that’s their call and has nothing to do with me, nor am I going to presume that I can do it without permission.
This goes for audio too: recordings of novelty songs, music from the Kovacs shows and various EK sketches, some of which are available on CD or LP. I understand that sometimes these items are hard to find but I am not going to provide links to free downloads.
With all this in mind please do not contact me asking for copies of videos, DVDs, CDs, LPs, or to ask me to stream video. I will not post ANY links to file sharing sites which are sent to me nor will I respond to any emails regarding same.
I can offer the following: The Museum Of Broadcast Communications in Chicago has their archives listed online so you can view the list. Some of these listings have a digital file accompanying them for viewing and ⁄ or listening. Sign up is free and there are some very interesting EK files available to watch and listen to online. My assumption is that a broadcast museum is not just putting up clips without permission which is why I’m willing to list the link.
While they don't have online viewing, you can visit the Paley Center For Media in New York or Los Angeles to view shows in their massive collection. The link will take you to a listing of everything they have regarding Ernie Kovacs so that you can plan your visit; you're limited as to how much time you can spend in the museum library and how many shows you can view on your visit so you wouldn't want to spend all of it searching the database. Write down the catalog numbers and titles of the programs you wish to see, which will make finding them easy once you arrive. Contact the museum for more details.

, where , boundary of the cube , outward pointing normal.
How can I solve the integral with singularity at endpoint?
Is there a solution for this integral?
What have you tried so far? and where did you get stuck?
Because the cube has "edges" and is not smooth, do each of the six faces separately.
1) On the face x= 0, the unit normal is <-1, 0, 0>, on the face x= 3 the unit normal is <1, 0, 0>, and F has 0 x-component so those integrals are 0.
2) On the face y= 0, the unit normal is <0, -1, 0>, on the face y= 3 the unit normal is <0, 1, 0>, and F has 0 y-component so those integrals are 0. |
This post explores a few ideas, and the resulting experiments, I've had recently to put metadata (or arbitrary information) into vector GIS formats that have no provision for them. One typical such format is the good-old Shapefile format. A shapefile generally consists in 3 files, a .shp file that contains the geometries, a .shx that is an index from the shape number to the offset in the .shp file where the geometry is located (to allow fast retrieval by shape ID) and a .dbf file that contains the attributes of each shape.
Of course, the most simple way of adding metadata would be to but an additional file besides the 3 mentionned ones, but that would not be very challenging (plus the risk of losing it during copy).
Most implementations require at least those 3 files to be present. Some allow .dbf to be missing (e.g. GDAL/OGR). Some allow .shx to be missing, like OpenJUMP which doesn't read it even if it is available, which is both a feature and a drawback in situations when there are "holes" in the .shp due to editing.
A basic solution is to add our metadata at the end of one of those 3 files. I've done tests with GDAL/OGR (based on Shapelib), GeoTools 12.0, OpenJUMP 1.7.1 (whose shapefile reader is a forked version of the GeoTools one with changes), proprietary software code-named "GM" and proprietary software "AG"
.shp : all implementations happy, except OpenJUMP that opens the file, but throws a warning because it tries to interprete the additional bytes as shape.
It should be checked how they react in editing use cases, like adding new features to the shapefile. Regarding GDAL/OGR, I can say that it would overwrite the extra content at the end of the .dbf and the .shx. It would let the extra content at the end of the .shp to write the new geometry afterwards.
What if we want to "link" the metadata per feature in a way where it is preserved if shapes are added ? And for the sake of exploring more possibilities, we will exclude using the data-at-end-of-file track. Interleaving data and metadata is not possible in .dbf since the records are placed consecutively. Same for .shx. In .shp, we can try reserving some space between all geometry records and make sure that the .shx index takes the holes into account. Due to the fact that size and offsets in shapefile are expressed in term of 16 bit words, that extra space must be a multiple of 16 bit too. That works fine for all implementations, except OpenJUMP for the same reason as above. Hum, and what if we incorporate the metadata, not between the encoded geometries, but inside them ? Each geometry record is indeed structured like this :
We can try adding extra payload at the end of record content while still updating record length to take into account. We could have thought that implementations strictly checks that the declared record length is consistant with the shape type, but experimentations (and code inspection on the 3 Open Source implementations) show that, when they check, they check that the record length is at least greater or equal to the minimum expected record length. So this works for the 5 implementations ! At least on a layer with 2D polygons. That should also work for other 2D geometry type. 3D shapes consist in the 2D information, followed by the Z information, and optionaly by the M(eausre) information. M information is sometimes omitted when it is not present (this is the case of the OGR writer). So if we would want to add metadata for 3D shapes, we would have to write dummy M information (writting not-a-number double values is commonly done to indicate that M information is invalid).
To go back to .dbf file a bit, sometimes the width of fields of string type is larger than strictly needed. The values are left aligned in the field and remaining space is padded with space characters. I've tried to insert a nul character just at the end of the string, and put the extra information afterwards. This works fine for the 3 C/C++ based shapefile readers (GDAL/OGR, G.M., A.G) since nul character is conventionnaly used to terminate a string in C/C++. Unfortunately that does not work with the 2 Java based implementations that do not use that convention : the extra content is displayed after the field content.
As we have started exploring modifying the data itself, let's return to .shp file. One thing to consider is that coordinates in shapefiles are stored as double precision floating point numbers, stored on 64 bits using the IEEE-754 binary representation. Such numbers are decomposed like the following : 1 bit for the sign of the value, 11 bits for the exponent and its sign and 52 bits for the mantissa. The mantissa is where the significand precision of the number is stored. How big is that ? Let's go back to geography a bit. The Earth has rougly a circonference of 40 000 km. If we want to map features with a precision of 1 cm, we need 40 000 000 / 0.01 = 4 billion distinct numbers. 4 billion fits conveniently on a 32 bit integer (and OpenStreetMap .pbf optimized format store coordinates on 32 bit integers based on that observation). So 52 bits allow 2^(52-32)=2^20, roughly 1 million more numbers, i.e. a precision of 10^-8 meters = 10 nanometers ! We could almost map every molecule located on the Earth surface !
It is consequently reasonable to borrow the 16 least significant bits from the mantissa for other use. Said differently for every 2D point/vertex, we can get back 4 bytes without any noticeable loss of precision. Depending on the shape complexity, this might be not big enough to store per-feature metadata. But on a typical shapefile, if we spead the metadata over the features, we can certainly store useful content. And the really great news is that this metadata would be preserved naturally in most format conversions (at least with GDAL/OGR whose internal geometry representation also uses 64-bit floating point numbers, and probably most other geometry engines), and for formats like Spatialite or GeoPackage that also use 64-bit floating point numbers. However, one must be aware than any other operation like rescaling or reprojection would completely change the least significant bits and erase our metadata.
Admitedly this is not a new idea. People have explored similar ideas for digital watermarking and more generally steganography, typically used to embed copyright information or source tracking (i.e. you generate a slightly different dataset for each customer, hence if a copy is then available for download, you can identify the origin of the leak), generally in a not noticeable way. Using least significant bits is the very basic technique, that can be circumvented easily by just zeroing them or adding noise. More advanced technique operate in the spectral domain, like DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform), DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform) or DWT (Discrete Wavelet Tranform). Some techniques have been specifically designed for GIS data, using topological properties for example. The common target of those techniques is to have robustness against attempts of removing the watermark from the signal, at the expense of a reduced bandwith for the inserted information. But for regular metadata, we do not need such guarantee and the use of least-significant bits might be good enough and easily implemented.
For polygons, the shapefile specification states that the vertices of the outer ring must be listed in clockwise order. But it does not specify which vertex of the outline must be the first one. Let's consider that the top-most vertex of the polygon is numbered 0 (if there are several vertices with the same y coordinate, let's take the one of them with the minimum x), the following vertex in clockwise order is 1, etc... If our polygon has 16 vertices, and we serialize it starting at vertex 11, we have coded the 11 number. Combined with information of following polygons, we can build a longer message. This idea could only work in practice for shapefiles of complex/dense enough polygons. If every polygon has 256 vertex, we can encode log2(256)=8 bits per polygon. More generally, for a polygon with N vertex, we could encode log2(N) bits (rounded to inferior integer). So we need also at least hundreds or thousands of polygons of that complexity to be able to encode something useful. The advantage of this technique is that it is robust to rescaling, and probably most reprojections (at least the one that globally preserve the appearance of shapes), provided that the shapes are rewritten in the same order as in the original data.
That technique could also be adapted for lines. Let's consider a line made of (V1,V2,....Vn). We can for example simply build a multi-polyline of 2 parts (V1,...Vi) and (Vi,....,VN) that will visually looks like the original line and will encode for the i value. The increase in binary encoding would be modest (4+8+8=20 extra bytes).
Another technique might be to use repeated vertices. Let's consider a line or a polygon: if while listing consecutive vertices, they are repeated, this would encode a 1 value. Otherwise 0. For example, if a line is made of the sequence of vertices (V1,V1,V2,V3,V4,V4,V5,V5,V6), it would be equivalent to binary number 100110. So we could encode as many bits as vertices in the geometry. If needed, we can also use more repetitions to encode more bits. For one bit per vertex, on average such a technique would increase shapefile size by 50% (because on average, half of bits in a message are 1). It would preserve metadata perfectly for all coordinate transformations (geometry engines generally operate on vertices separately). But not to operations that would remove duplicated vertices.
Finally, here's another idea, conceptually close to the one based on the starting vertex. Excluding implementations that don't rely on the .shx (I've no prejudice against such one ! Keep on good work folks !), we could use the order of shapes in the .shp to encode information. Traditionnaly, feature 1 appears first in the .shp, followed by feature 2, etc... But we could re-order the shapes as we wish, provided we make the .shx point to the right offset in the .shp. If we have N shapes, there are N! (factorial(N) = N*(N-1)*(N-2)*...2*1) ways of ordering them. So for N shapes, we can encode log2(N!) bits. In practice for 10 shapes, that is 21 bits. For 100 shapes, 524 bits. For 1000 shapes, 8529 bits. And for 10000, 118458. Advantages: works for all geometry types, no increase in file size. Inconvenients: possibly less performant sequential reading because of apparently random seeking within the .shp, doesn't resist to file conversion.
I've not mentionned it, but for nearly all mentionned techniques, especially the last ones, we would need to reserve a few bits to insert a CRC or any other integrity mechanism, so as to make sure that we think is metadata really is. And all them could be potentially combined !

India should make a long term investment in ensuring that a Taliban-type of government never comes to power again in Afghanistan.
THROUGHOUT THE 1980s and the 1990s, India looked at the developments in Afghanistan with a certain amount of dismay. It could not fathom the former Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979. Initially, the policy makers in New Delhi initially tried to find a political way out — gently persuading the Soviet Union to withdraw. India even offered to work with Pakistan to find a political solution. But Pakistan's Zia-ul-Haq refused to oblige. The Cold War politics practiced by the Great Powers in Afghanistan was too complex for India to intervene effectively.
After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, India kept a close watch on Islamabad's game plan. New Delhi's moves such as helping Burhanuddin Rabbani met with extremely limited success. Alarm bells began ringing with the Taliban's arrival on the scene in 1994. India saw a link between the developments in Jammu and Kashmir, the Taliban's creation and the way it was consolidating its position in Afghanistan. India's efforts to sensitise the great powers about this development had no success. After the capture of Kabul in September 1996, India closed down its mission there.
However, as a goodwill gesture to the Afghan people and its long-standing relationship with Kabul, India maintained contacts with the Taliban and the Northern Alliance forces and continued humanitarian assistance to both factions.
The hijacking of the Indian Airlines flight IC-814 to Kandahar on Christmas-eve in 1999 brought a swift change in India's policy towards the Taliban. By the spring of 2000, Pakistan's game plan of trying to divide Afghanistan on ethnic lines was known in the rest of the neighbourhood — Iran, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, and India were quick to evolve a commonality of interests. India set itself two tasks: not to allow Afghanistan's territorial integrity to be disturbed under any circumstances; and to strengthen the Northern Alliance to fight the Taliban. India then decided to make its presence felt to beef up the forces of the Northern Alliance. Strategically, making the Turkmenistan capital, Dushanbe, a staging post made a lot of sense as it is close to the Northern Alliance stronghold, Panjshir Valley. A field hospital at Farkhar, near Dushanbe, was established in early 2000.
Simultaneously, the airfields in and around Dushanbe were made operational to ferry equipment to the Northern Alliance. India also began coordinating efforts with the Central Asian Republics. They agreed to be part of the broad front being proposed by India along with Iran. They readily opened their stores of Soviet vintage arms and ammunition and aircraft to the Northern Alliance.
This was also the period during which Ahmed Shah Masood made unannounced visits to India, the last being in May 2001, to refine his strategy in combating the Taliban. In his assessment, the Taliban could not last a single day without Pakistan's military support; and India having fought four wars with Pakistan understood the latter's military machine better than anyone.
Though not conclusively proven, circumstantial evidence shows that the Taliban-Al-Qaeda leadership assumed that eliminating Masood would automatically result in a collapse of the Northern Alliance. In spite of warnings from friendly countries such India, Masood decided to give an interview to an "Algerian" television network during which he was killed. That was on September 9, 2001.
The Taliban-Al-Qaeda underestimated Masood's vision and foresight. Anticipating an eventuality of this type, he groomed three of his close associates — Mohammad Fahim, Abdullah Abdullah and Qanooni. The assassination of Masood did dampen spirits to a certain extent. The September 11, 2001, attacks by the Taliban-Al-Qaeda on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon woke the U.S. from its slumber. The triumvirate — Mr. Qanooni, Mr. Abdullah and Gen. Fahim — proved brilliant in preparing their forces to synchronise their attacks with that of the U.S. They were also aware that the U.S. was unlikely to seek their help.
As late as 2001, one U.S. diplomat in Islamabad dismissed Masood as irrelevant, adding that Washington saw him as part of the problem and not as part of the solution."
As the U.S. war, Operation Enduring Freedom, started on October 7, 2001, though India extended complete support to it, things did not move the way it expected. One of Afghanistan's neighbours, Iran, was more or less excluded from the alliance; and India's intelligence inputs were seen by the U.S. war-planners through the spectrum of India-Pakistan relations.
The Northern Alliance was seen as an appendage of India. The first three weeks of bombing, from October 7 to 28, 2001, produced no tangible results to the U.S. on the ground. The widespread criticism of aimless U.S. bombing and high civilian casualties brought the whole operation under severe criticism. At this point, Indian and Russian intervention made the U.S. war planners see the logic of cooperating with Northern Alliance. In the crucial meeting on October 30, 2001, between the U.S. theatre commander, Gen. Tommy Franks, and the Northern Alliance, an agreement was reached on cooperation between the two. In the subsequent nine days, the Northern Alliance was able to capture Mazar-e-Sharif, and reach the outskirts of Kabul. During this Northern Alliance campaign, nine battalions of the Pakistani armed forces were either decimated or made to flee southwards to safer places. One version of the events was that Pakistani GHQ in Rawalpindi issued orders to its men to rush back to safer places. If this is true, the exodus of so-called Taliban soldiers from Mazar-e-Sharif, Kabul and other areas in early November 2001, as Northern Alliance troops marched in can be attributed to it.
By this time everyone associated with the Northern Alliance including the U.S. itself realised what good fighters the Northern Alliance men were and started admiring Masood's vision in training such a formidable force. On November 13, against the protests from Pakistan, Northern Alliance troops entered Kabul. India on the success of its subtle diplomacy immediately announced the reopening of the Embassy in Kabul.
On the Government that should come in Kabul after the fall of the Taliban, India and the Afghan neighbourhood (with the exception of Pakistan) had well defined objectives from the beginning — it should not have any Taliban or any of its allies/friends/sympathisers anywhere near the corridors of power.
Though some of the extra regional powers and Pakistan try to make the Taliban movement synonymous with the Pashtuns, India always refused to buy this theory. In fact, the Indian debate during that period was that there were lots of groups among the Pashtuns who opposed the Taliban from the beginning. Instead of looking at Afghanistan through the spectrum of ethnicity, all the forces that opposed the Taliban-type of rule should be in the new Government; it should be as broad-based as possible.
This concern remains even now. India should make a long term investment in ensuring that a Taliban-type of government never comes to power again in Afghanistan. In whichever sector the present Afghan Government seeks help, India should respond positively. |

3 Defenders (O’s) set up triangle zone, lead point towards where the ball is, denying any passes to attackers in the “dangerous space” - central area inside 3 Attackers inside 23m area.
Defenders shift the zone, protecting central area of defence and looking to intercept.
The shape of the defensive zone should change as it shifts side-to-side, depending on ball position and where attackers are. For example, if the ball is on the defensive left side, the back left player in the triangle might push up almost level with the lead point of the triangle (who will be in a more direct line to the ball.
Against a zone, attackers do not need to interchange/switch as much. Instead, attackers should look to find seams in between defenders in the zone to cut back into.
Zone defending should be more efficient for defenders’ movement. Slight adjustments in positioning can cover dangerous passing lanes.
Be aware of attackers switching/interchanging positions. Although staying in a zone structure, defenders must still be aware of dangerous lines and watch for attackers leading out into spaces in between zone. |

Installed over 200+ 7450's with ip phones and cameras connected to switches. Currently we have several that are "working" sort of. Essentially POE is working great until I had to replace a camera the other day. Put new one up plugged in no POE, Tested with a Fluke Tester no POE, so I was like weird I guess I'll reboot the stack pull power and maybe that will fix it. Used CLI to check config on port 1/1/8 everything was good enabled and inline power. Still was not working and still not working to this day trying to figure out if there is a POE defect that needs to be updated to fix. It is all ports on the switch not just 2/1/6, 7 ,8. I unplugged a working device and then plugged back in and it would also not come back online with POE. We are using LLDP as well.
Here is running config of stack with issue and poe details.
Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can give.
I'm unclear on the steps you've taken so far. Did you try to disable and re-enable inline power on the port? When I've had inconsistent behavior with PoE ports, I'll disable the port, disable inline power to the port, re-enable the port, and re-enable inline power to the port. And usually that fixes the issue unless the hardware itself failed.
Also try another port that you know is working.
As mentioned above, show inline power would be helpful.
Yes to all of the above troubleshooting steps.
Power Capacity: Total is 1496000 mWatts. Current Free is 1082046 mWatts.
Power Capacity: Total is 1496000 mWatts. Current Free is 1158111 mWatts.
As for other troubleshooting steps we have reloaded the switch stack, pulled power from switches, moved to a working poe port and the port we move to also will not work even when plugging back in the old device that was currently working. The only thing I have not tried is to update the poe firmware to a newer version.
And I asked tech support to get in touch, after I released your post from possible SPAM folder due to the length of your config. Case 794153 is your ticket with Ruckus. I'll keep this thread open if you don't mind sharing a 'show inline power' output please?
It seems like it is the first 8 ports but I can confirm plugging into port 10 >> on it would not power the device i get a link from my tester and no power though. resetting the switch usually fixes the issue but this time it didn't. Our current firmware does not allow that command to try it we would need to update our switches in this closet to test this. Thanks for the input Larry.
I would strongly suggest taking a patch, there have been a few POE fixes since 8030h, 8030q is now available.
Hi, I faced same issue before. It was PoE firmware issue which you are using 01.6.7 Build 013.
I solved it by upgrading 1.8.8.b001. You should upgrade boot code and FI image as well. |
What are the benefits of e-learning for kids? Nowadays, everyone knows that the technology was able to give some of its own conveniences of life. The education aspect is one of them. The concept of the education system that makes use of information technology in the teaching and learning process is called e-learning. If you want to implement e-learning system in teaching and learning process, you need to find out first what the benefits of e-learning for kids that you can get later.
One of the biggest the benefits of e-learning for kids is unlimited learning materials. Instead of ignoring the conventional library, the e-learning system allows you to obtain much more learning materials than the conventional library. You only need to type in a specific keyword on a search engine online and you can get the list of information from a variety of sources. And it also only takes a short of time.
You will get a big opportunity to explore more knowledge while doing e-learning. This is also the benefits of e-learning for kids. You will find a new information that will keep you getting curious. The good point is, you can soon looking for that information easily. That way, anyone who does e-learning can have many opportunities to explore any information.
The other the benefits of e-learning for kids is a flexible time. Learning in the classroom is indeed great for improving communication skills and socialization of students, but it cannot be denied that e-learning is superior in terms of flexibility. A student can study whenever and wherever they are, all they need is an adequate internet connection device.
The last part of the benefits of e-learning for kids is it matches the digital era. The various aspects of current life have begun to move into the digital realm. Any student learning activities will certainly be easier by implementing e-learning system. Especially, if the student uses a computer that all the features have been adapted to the student’s needs as well as the teachers. |

Hacienda Heights is an unincorporated community in Los Angeles County which gained its current name in 1962 due to the community being centered around Hacienda Boulevard, prior to this the area was known as North Whittier Heights (after its southern neighbor) with the area south of Clark Ave., known as Hillgrove (the now defunct elementary School, Hillgrove Elementary is named after this community).
After purchasing the 1,826 acre tract of land, Hart and Torrance planted Citrus (primarily oranges) and avocado groves, and a small community sprung up around its packing mills. Eventually the area transformed from a small agricultural town to a large bedroom community during the 1940s, gaining speed in the 1950s and finally hitting its maximum growth in the early 1970s. Most residents work elsewhere in the greater Los Angeles County area, and although there have been multiple attempts to incorporate or merge with La Puente or Whittier, these attempts have all failed up to this point.
Hacienda Heights has a new community Center, built in the old location of Hillgrove Elementary School (which is was of the oldest elementary schools in Hacienda Heights).
The Community Center opened October 25, 2014.
With a large multipurpose room and performance center. This venue can be used for performances, wedding receptions, anniversary parties, community group meetings and seminars.
This community center includes "Circles of a Ripple" by artist James Dinh, creating a gathering place for visitors of the community center and park.
• The highest point in Hacienda Heights is found in the Puente Hills (which are relatively geologically new), which is Workman Hill, elevation 1,388 feet (423 meters), just southeast of Turnbull Canyon Road and Skyline Drive.
• Hacienda Heights (as measured from the center) is 11 statute miles (by air) from Disneyland (Anaheim). This makes Anaheim the closest large city (over 250,000) to Hacienda Heights.
• Hacienda Heights is situated next to the relatively newly discovered Puente Hills Fault Line (which is the fault on which the 5.9, 1987 Whittier Narrows Earthquake took place on). This fault runs from Northern Orange County to just under downtown Los Angeles.
• The Puente Hills are still new (geologically speaking) with the roots of these hills existing somewhere far off the west coast of the ancestral continent of North America. The uplift of the Puente Hills is the result of the Pacific Plate and its parallel movement to the northwest along the North American Plate, Evidence of all three of these subduction events—volcanoes, granite batholiths, and the crustal shavings—are found buried deep beneath the Puente Hills.
• The Los Angeles basin in which the Puente Hills/Hacienda Heights reside began forming in the late Miocene epoch according to Wright, 1991; Ingersoll and Rumelhart, 1999 (see references at the bottom of this page).
Basin subsidence at that time was accommodated by large extensional faults including the Puente Hills/Whittier–Elsinore fault system and the Santa Monica fault system.
In the mid-Pliocene the relative plate motion between the North American plate and the Pacific plate changed to produce overall north–south compression of the basin. This compression led to the development of a series of blind thrust faults in the young sediments of the Los Angeles basin, including the Puente Hills thrust system.
The Coyote Hills, Santa Fe Springs, and Los Angeles faults are the three blind fault segments, with no surface trace, that comprise the Puente Hills thrust system. (See picture above left, please click to enlarge) The potential seismic hazard of these faults to the metropolitan Los Angeles was demonstrated in 1987 when the Santa Fe Springs ruptured in the Magnitude 6.0 Whittier Narrows earthquake. Geologic evidence suggests the Puente Hills thrust system as a whole is capable of generating earthquakes greater than Magnitude 7.0, and has caused four such events over the past 11,000 years.
Please do not let this geological information frighten anyone who is thinking of moving to Hacienda Heights, as all areas have their “potential” issues (such as Tornados in many Midwest locations). My father (who was born in 1932) has lived in the area his whole life and has never suffered a loss from earthquakes.
I will also add that Hacienda Heights is a beautiful and family friendly community that has more of smaller community feel than a suburb in Los Angeles County and I can state I found it a beautiful community to spend my childhood years.

In this dissertation we present the quantitative response of an epidemic of the so-called SIR-type, in a population consisting of a local component and a migrant component. Each component can be divided into three classes, the susceptible individuals, usually denoted by S, who are uninfected but may contract the disease, infected individuals (I) who are infected and can spread the disease to the susceptible individuals and the class (R) of recovered individuals. If a susceptible individual becomes infected, it moves into the infected class. An infected individual, at recovery, moves to the class R. Firstly we develop a model describing two interacting populations with vaccination. Assuming the vaccination rate in both groups or components are constant, we calculate a threshold parameter and we call it a vaccination reproductive number. This invariant determines whether the disease will die out or becomes endemic on the (in particular, local) population. Then we present the stability analysis of equilibrium points and the effect of vaccination. Our primary finding is that the behaviour of the disease free equilibrium depend on the vaccination rates of the combined population. We show that the disease free equilibrium is locally asymptotically stable if the vaccination reproductive number is less than one. Also our stability analysis show that the global stability of the disease free equilibrium depends on the basic reproduction number, not the vaccination reproductive number. If the vaccination reproductive number is greater than one, then the disease free equilibrium is unstable and there exists three endemic equilibrium points in our model. Two of these three endemic equilibria are so-called boundary equilibrium points, which means that the infection is only in one group of the population. The third one which we focus on is the general endemic point for the whole system. We derive a threshold condition that determines whether the endemic equilibria is locally asymptotically stable or not. Secondly, by assuming that the rate of vaccination in the migrant population is constant, we apply optimal control theory to find an optimal vaccination strategy in the local population. Our numerical simulation shows the effectiveness of the control strategy. This model is suitable for modeling the real life situation to control many communicable diseases. Models similar to the model used in the main contribution of our dissertation do exist in the literature. In fact, our model can be regarded as being in-between those of [Jia et al., Theoretical Population Biology 73 (2008) 437-448] and [Piccolo and Billings, Mathematical and Computer Modeling 42 (2005) 291-299]. Nevertheless our stability analysis is original, and furthermore we perform an optimal control study whereas the two cited papers do not. The essence of chapter 5 and 6 of this dissertation is being prepared for publication.
It is 1874 of the Imperial Era. The War of the West has ended after nearly six years. On one side, the Kingdoms of Aequor, Galenthia and Ryalta – the Allied Powers. On the other, the Principality of Kentaire and the Holy States of Rikton – the Central Powers. Friends came and went; Navali, once a Central Power shifted in 1869 to neutrality, in order to deal with other foes. The Free City State Four Corners, officially neutral, showered the Allies with men, money and material. A treaty of peace has been signed at the Senate of the West. Both Galenthia and Aequor have agreed to terms and Rikton has followed, though none are truly happy with the strength that their former foe, Kentaire, has maintained. Mistrust and intrigue are rife.
Still, the end of hostilities after years of war has at least salved some wounds and means that garrisons can replenish, fields that have laid fallow for years can be sowed, and business can resume. True to the traditions of the Civilised West, however, true peace continues to elude all. In the east, the Vir Sidus Empire has nearly crumbled under the onslaught of the vicious Qatunax, who've pushed even into Aequor and Galenthia, carving out new lands for their High King. The goblins, their masters and whatever other creatures lurk in the Ergonian mountains are a constant threat, with the wilds of the borders becoming dangerous and unpredictable. In the far west, the mysterious sea borne Mitanga occasionally probe, while White Hall's fierce Ice Clans pillage and plunder the west coast of the civilised kingdoms and in the south, both the Empire of Partharia and the Principality of Alezzo wait for their chances to strike.
The winds blew and with them came the Empire of Partharia. At this moment most of the Fortresses on the Great Salt are under Siege. If you could not be in the 7 Oct battle but are a regular resident of one of the Fortresses, please put up a memoir about being, Under Siege. They did not use military ships to accomplish this. They literally flooded the Great Salt with Merchant Ships hauling huge numbers of Slaves and Client Kingdom soldiers.
Which to the educated mind means that the long delay before the attack was setting this up, and frankly GETTING all these ships and that the REAL Military hasn't arrived yet. Those of the Military Ships and their professional Soldiers.
A Social. On the walls looking at the enemy. Taunting them. Whatever. Even in the local Drinking Hole. Thanks to Dertan and Thomas, the Fortresses are VERY well supplied. So have a Pint and comisserate.
A skirmish on the walls. Just don't have it be in the neighborhood of thousands, but a hundred or so is fine.
Scout the area around the fortress. Feel free to run these for yourselves. Remember this is COOPERATIVE Storytelling. Tell a good story! But don't forget the drama and challenge. You are the Heroes of this tale, but you are NOT batman or superman. You can fail, and should sometimes!
Airships are NOT running in Southern Aequor, or along the Coast. At All. At present. Which means if you want to travel in those areas speak to a Staffer. The East (ie Hellsmouth and Rhone is still being serviced)
Similarily, because they pass over the Coast, Airships are NOT traveling to Navali, or Ryalta. You can still get to Four Corners but it takes a very round about way that does not touch the coast.

Motor Neuron Disease though most commonly used to mention one specific disease ie Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS), Motor Neuron Disease is actually a classification category that comprises all the diseases that are of motor-neurodegeneratory in nature. But Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis being the most common form of Motor Neuron Disease, it has vaguely become synonymous to its parent classification category.
Diseases are very vaguely placed into this category with inconclusive inclusion and exclusion criteria. Following are the basic disease types that fall under this category or one can say they form this category.
Motor Neuron Diseases are characterised by progressive muscle weakness and degeneration of motor neuron. But as explained earlier that classification is vague, so not all motor neuron degeneratory disorders fall under this category and rather they are placed into a broader category called “Motor Neuron Disease Disorders” example Spinal Muscular Atrophies falls into this broader category.
Lower Motor Neuron Degeneration – Except Primary Lateral Sclerosis, Pseudobulbar Palsy and Monomelic Amyotrophy rest all have LMN involvement.
With or Without Sensory Loss.
Based on combination of above three criterion the pattern is categorised into three major pattern of combination.
MND can present itself in children or in adults. If the onset is during childhood then it’s usually inherited and in most of the cases it is Familial Amyotropic Lateral Sclerosis. In adults usually it’s found to affect after age of 40years.
Most of the cases of MND tend to progress during course of time and worsen and in many cases they are even fatal depending on type of MND, say for instance ALS is a fatal type where as PLS is not.
Motor Neuron Disease presents itself in various patterns of muscular weakness due to motor neuron degeneration which can show combination of patterns of symmetric or asymmetric, proximal or distal, focal midline or lateral, with or without sensory loss. Some of the signs and symptoms of Motor Neuron Disease are listed below.
Difficulty in breathing, aggravated while lying down or on exertion. It may also cause respiratory failure.
Cognitive and behavioral changes like decision making, computing, word fluency, memory etc.
Homeopathic Medicine should be selected as per type of Motor Neuron Disease and it’s symptomatology. |

"You have a bunch of stuff and still talk about simplicity, what's with that?"
Well, I have accumulated a few things in my life. I used to make a lot of money (relatively speaking). I bought the Mercedes, the toys, the stuff.
I have gotten rid of a lot, and am trying to learn to get rid of the rest. I want to keep only what I need, and maybe a few wants. It is hard. I grew up with little, so when I was making decent money, I wanted to buy the stuff I never had. Over time I have come to the realisation the stuff never made me happy. I found the doing is better than the having.
I have acquired many of the things I have by coincidence or luck. I am not afraid to dumpster-dive. I take my kids if I can, we make it a game. I have stopped on the side of the road to pick up something that someone else is tossing out. My wheelbarrow came from the dump, some guy was tossing it because "it's annoying", whatever that means.
I have traded a lot. Craigslist is my friend when it comes to trading.
Value is the governing factor with the things I possess. I was going to say own, but I don't think I own anything, I just possess it until it leaves my possession. I still have trouble letting go though, some things just have too much potential.
I feel qualified to share my experiences and tips with the world because I am actually doing every one of the steps on my list. I have been unemployed for 16 months (I did work for two months in the middle there). For ten of those months I collected no unemployment benefits. I now am collecting unemployment benefits (I felt that I shouldn't do it, but someone reminded me that it was my money). I am going to school on the Post-9/11 G.I. Bill, and making it work on the little money I get from these two sources. My wife is a nurse and can make good money, but we choose for her to work less so she can be home for the summer with the kids. During the rest of the year she works and we save, we have eliminated most of our bills to make this a possibility. I am now unemployed by choice because juggling school, work, and kids is too much for anyone person and my heart goes out to those that manage to do it. My wife was in that position when we met and I quickly convinced her to stop working and let me handle the money part so she could continue her schooling. I saw how hard it can be, and do not want to do that myself (she is definitely stronger than me).
I like stuff, it is programmed into me from my childhood, from TV, from the outside forces of the media and U.S. culture. I am trying to de-program myself.
Instead of working hard just so we can pay the credit card bills and loans for the stuff we don't need, we work what we need to, just so we can do the things that give us the one thing we truly own, memories.
I've recently started reading your blog after a connection from the Bike Trailer Blog. Your situations sound very similar to mine. I applaud you for continuing education even though it may be hard financially for your family. My wife supported me and worked while I finished my degree, though we didn't have our daughter until I graduated and got my first salary job. Now my wife doesn't work so she can stay home with the little one (18 months).
You also posted about getting rid of your car. This is something I did about 6 months ago. We have one car (Honda CRV) and I bike to work everyday though it's a short 10 blocks. I can say we are just now over the initial regret stage and are enjoying it. I have sacrificed a few things, but I have also gained a few things (non-material).
I have a book recommendation for you since you're talking about getting rid of stuff. "Put Your Life on a Diet". This is a short read by a guy who lives by himself in a small 140 Sq. Ft. trailer. He's not saying you should live in a trailer, but he does have lots of ideas about slimming down not only yourself but everything else in your life. I was very inspired by this and have recently rid my entire house of things that haven't been used in one year (to the tune of about $400). Like you I am also a Craigslist veteran.
I can't say I share your view on tools though. I feel it's less important to have a good set of tools and more important to have a neighbor who has a good set of tools (and a good relationship with such a neighbor). I've cleaned my gutters quarterly using my neighbor's 10 ft. step ladder. |

TEDxBrussels is back for its 8th edition at Bozar in Brussels on the 6th of March 2017 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. The world-renowned TEDx conferences aim to disseminate innovative and positive ideas that can change the world.
TEDxBrussels is unique on the European scene in this aspect and invites artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, researchers and thinkers to share their ideas with the public.
A true spa for the mind, the event touches on a range of subjects – from philosophy and science to art, politics… Subjects that we interact with on a daily basis, and that have a tremendous impact and influence on our lives.
This year, ‘No Limits’ is the thread running through all presentations. Out with the familiar, with limits and borders: only then can we truly take on challenges that at first sight seem insurmountable.
Curator Rudy Aernoudt: “No limits mean that the speakers and artists will be forced to leave their comfort zone and take the audience into a breath-taking experience without borders. It will be an invitation to embrace exciting topics without any boundaries or limits.”
TEDxBrussels is supported by the United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Brussels and Visit Brussels.
TEDxBrussels has the pleasure to announce the Belgian and International speakers that will help make the 2017 edition a success. They will share their points of view and ideas with the somewhat 1600 attendees at Bozar.
– Pattie Maes – Professor at the MIT Media Lab. Her areas of expertise are human-computer interaction and artificial intelligence.
– Yeba Olayé – Yeba Olayé is a Belgian-Beninese designer. Two years ago, she left behind her career in management consulting to pursue her dream: create an aspirational luxury brand. Starting with nothing but a sketchbook, this former Business Engineer ultimately turned her vision into reality with her beautiful collection ‘Premiere’.
– Angelo Vermeulen – space systems researcher, biologist, artist. He was selected by NASA to be crew commander of a famous mission that simulated a voyage to Mars.
– Eva Brems – lawyer, activist and professor of human rights at Ghent University. During her short stint in politics, she was the only member of the Belgian Parliament to vote against the face veil ban.

Please try to schedule any personal appointments after camp time.
We cannot guarantee that friends will be in the same group. Request must be submitted upon registration with email to [email protected]. No requests after 6/17.
At the beginning of each session, students will be divided into groups where they will learn a song and simple movement, which will then be used to “audition” for the directors. After auditions, each student will then be assigned a role and placed in a cast. Students will participate in acting, music, and dance workshops during one part of the day with the other half of the day dedicated to rehearsals for the show. Friday mornings of performance days, dress rehearsals will take place using costumes and props. Each group will have the opportunity to rehearse on the BPP stage.
What theatrical performance experience would be complete without an audience? At the end of each two-week session we present a production for an audience of parents, relatives and friends. Performances will be held in the theatre each session’s final Friday afternoon at 1:00* or 2:00*, depending on the particular group’s assigned time. Admission is free for these performances.
* Times may be adjusted depending on needs.
Student should be dropped off at the theatre at 9:00 am. The theater is located in Brundage Park, on Carrell Road in Randolph. The program will begin promptly at 9:15 a.m. Students must be picked up promptly at 3:00. Wait outside of the theater lobby until the theater doors are opened. Proceed through the theater doors and out through the right hand exit in front of the stage. For safety reasons, we must insist on this one-way traffic pattern. On performance date Fridays, students will leave following their performance. Please park your car in the park parking lot and do not block the entrance into or out of the park. This is a safety concern.
Students are asked to bring a lunch in an insulated lunch bag. Lunch will not be refrigerated. Soda and candy are available for $1.50 each. Chewing gum is not permitted.
Comfortable playwear and sneakers are recommended. No open-toed shoes or sandals are permitted. Please leave all valuables at home. Toys and electronics are not permitted. |
