How cute are these! I know right! I am on vacation right now visiting a lot of family and got invited to a bbq at my Aunt’s house (well more like I invited myself over, but hey you can do that with family when you are in town). I wanted to bring something yummy, but simple and found these on www.glourioustreats.com. My 7yr old watched me make them and kept begging to eat one. I was mean and told him he had to wait until after dinner. He ran up to me after he ate all his food and asked me to get him one, but when I went to grab them off the plate they were all gone! Poor kid!!! Don’t worry, he was plenty happy after he was offered a chocolate dipped ice cream bar instead. Anyway, these are super fun and cute and really simple to make. 1. Measure out rice krispies in a large bowl and set aside. 2. Put butter and marshmallows in a microwavable bowl. 3. Microwave for 2 minutes or until big and puffy. 4. Add food coloring and stir. 5. Quickly poor over rice crispy cereal and mix well. 6. Put 1/2 in each round cake pan and push around the outer edges. Make sure to work quickly! ***Repeat steps above and pour in the center of cake pans and make the center. Let them cool for a bit, then cut them into triangles like you would cut a pie and and add a few chocolate chips to each piece. Yummy! If you have more round cake pans I recommend making extras as they are grabbed up quick! 2 cup of water with chicken feet, put fire into low and simmer 10 minute.

Cargo trailers in Laurens, SC are lightweight, aerodynamic, and engineered for better fuel economy which makes it easy to tow behind any vehicle. Millions of families use our enclosed cargo trailers to move every year. U-Haul has a large selection of enclosed trailers to rent in-town or one way, review our cargo trailer sizes and reserve a trailer rental online at Shade Tree Automotive! Utility trailers are perfect for towing large or oversize cargo in Laurens SC 29360. Many utility trailer rentals come equipped with a loading ramp for easy convenience. The utility trailer selection at Shade Tree Automotive provides an affordable solution for home improvement projects, furniture delivery and for towing recreational vehicles. Utility trailer rentals are also popular with businesses for deliveries and trade-show events. Utility trailers come in a wide range of sizes and styles so that any car can tow. I reserved this trailer a couple of weeks before pickup. It was to be at another town. I called the dealer on Friday before pickup on Saturday. They confirmed it was there and waiting. The dealer called me back 10 minutes after my call to tell me that someone else reserved the trailer also from three miles away. I had to travel 6.5 hours to get a trailer from a service that was not in my plan. The stated appointment time was for noon Saturday. I arrived at 12:15. The dealer in Laurens told me that he had to leave at 12:30. After he filled out the paperwork., je pointed to the trailer and promptly left with checking the trailer and loading it to myself. I am very disappointed with the way U-Haul managed my reservation, and can not say that I am very happy with this transaction. There were no Uhaul signs, no other U-Haul trucks and nothing but a key drop off to indicate this was actually a U-Haul drop off location. Call first to make sure someone is there. I didn’t and while signs said “yes we are open” they weren’t. So I called and got instructions as to where to leave trailer. Man on phone was very nice. The place has many cars sitting without license tags. Excellent service from beginning to the end. The manager was very professional and explained the full details of the rental. Thank You so much. I've known him for a long time. My wire harness was broken. The man gathered tools and parts and repaired it. It took him about a half hour, when he was finished I asked how much did I oue him and he replied nothing. You don’t find that kind of helpful neighborly type of people anymore. I was very impressed by his willingness to helpe me and not gouge me for money. Very hornable man and represents uhalul at the top of his class. Make sure the trucks are running right before you let someone rent them out. 15' truck drove great and the serviice was outstanding.

I just saw this on the website of Random House, Diana Gabaldon's US publisher. The OUTLANDISH COMPANION Volume II (covering THE FIERY CROSS through WRITTEN IN MY OWN HEART'S BLOOD) now has an estimated release date of October 27, 2015! b) Even the information on the Random House site is subject to change. d) October is a long way off! Still, it's good to see the OC II officially listed! I think the updated OUTLANDISH COMPANION, Volume I (pictured above, due out March 31, 2015) and this all-new Volume II will look absolutely gorgeous as a matched set <g>, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what's in the OC II. I fear I'd flip through it once & never look at it again, but that's just me. I have found Volume I to be an incredible companion to the books. I referred back to it a lot. Guess who will be ordering the revised edition and the Volume II?! Love the Companion! Can't wait to get my hands on volume 2. Looking forward to seeing the new version for lots of good background information.

"Finding Feminism: Millennial Activists and the Unfinished Gender Revolution" From the publisher: In 2014, after a young man murdered six students at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and then killed himself, the news provoked an eye-opening surge of feminist activism. Fueled by the wide circulation of the killer’s hateful manifesto and his desire to exact “revenge” upon young women, feminists online and offline around the world clamored for a halt to such acts of misogyny. Despite the widespread belief that feminism is out-of-style or dead, this mobilization of young women fighting against gender oppression was overwhelming. In Finding Feminism, Alison Dahl Crossley analyzes feminist activists at three different U.S. colleges, revealing that feminism is alive on campuses, but is complex, nuanced, and context-dependent. Young feminists are carrying the torch of the movement, despite a climate that is not always receptive to their claims. These feminists are engaged in social justice organizing in unexpected contexts and spaces, such as multicultural sororities, student government, and online. Sharing personal stories of their everyday experiences with inequality, the young women in Finding Feminism employ both traditional and innovative feminist tactics. They use the Internet and social media as a tool for their activism—what Alison Dahl Crossley calls ‘Facebook Feminism.’ The university, as an institution, simultaneously aids and constrains their fight for gender equality. Offering a stunning and hopeful portrait of today’s young feminist leaders, Finding Feminism provides insight into the contemporary feminist movement in America.

When I arrived in Chiang Mai I wrote my first impressions of the city. I must admit, in a few ways it didn’t meet my expectations at the time. Nicole wasn’t even sure I should post my impressions because it came off as a bit grumpy. But I wanted to write my honest feelings, not just the typical “it’s heaven on earth” post that you see every other blogger here write. I’m now sitting on the plane again on my way to Malaysia after spending a month in Chiang Mai, and wanted to take a moment to update my feelings on the city. Unfortunately, there is no way for me to write this anymore without sounding like every other blogger who writes about Chiang Mai. I think I can confidently speak for everyone in our little family and say that it was the best month of our lives. We’re all very sad to be leaving, and spent the last few days trying to savor every single moment. In one month we had 5 different homes, visited 7 major tourist attractions/tours, swam in 11 waterfalls and one lake, took 701 pictures (at least the ones we kept), saw 2 movies at the theatre, got 5 massages, spent about a total of 200 hours working (combined), sent Rae to preschool, went house hunting, ate out for every meal, opted for western fast food 3 times, and only spent about half what we’d spend on a typical month at home (excluding mortgage)! Here’s a summary of our memories here… it’s a long list and I’m sure I’m forgetting some! Rae put it best one day when we were floating under a beautiful waterfall when she said “Is this real life, or is it a dream?” There were several moments during this trip where it honestly felt like things were just too perfect to be real. Elephants Trumpeting. The moment right after bathing with a herd of elephants at Hug Elephants Sanctuary, when they all started trumpeting. It was an unbelievable feeling standing in the midst of those giant animals while they sang their songs all around us. Floating in Under the Waterfall. The moment we were floating on our backs like leaves in a pond as the current from the most picturesque waterfall I’ve ever seen or imagined spun us gently under the trees. Hot Pot on the Lake. The moment our hot-pot was delivered to us in our bamboo hut out in the warmest lake I’ve ever felt. Slurpees and Sunbathing. The moment Rae and I got back to our signature suite at Singha Montra and kicked back on our balcony overlooking the mountains and sucked down our cream soda slurpees from 7-11. Giraffe in the Tram. The moment I heard our Thai guide announce “Ok, Giraffe is coming!” on the tram ride at the Night Safari and I turned my head to find myself nose to nose with a friendly giraffe right inside the tram. I can’t believe how much we’ve experience in just one month in Chiang Mai. Sure, we’re in a new place and there is the “novelty” factor, but still taking that into account, the amount of things we have done and great memories we created is unbeleivable. Rae proclaimed the food her favorite part about Thailand, and certainly a lot of our memories involve eating! You really can’t beat the food here, and the price is pretty great too! Sunset at Nics. As the sun went down as we enjoyed great food and Rae played in the bamboo pirate ship at Nics restaurant. Sunday Night Street Food. After a long walk through the gigantic Sunday night market hunting for food, we finally stumbled on what turned out to be the absolute best street food corner any of us have ever encountered. Nicole’s Green Curry. When Nicole brought out her first dish at Thai Cooking Class and it looked and tasted like something you’d get at a world class restaurant. Chinese BBQ Fiesta. On our last night in Chiang Mai, when Nicole ventured out on her own to retrieve some dinner and returned with bags of Chinese BBQ sticks. They were so delicious that I had to go down myself to get some more and got a big loud “It’s Chinese BBQ FIESTA!” from the chef as I walked in. Pizza Hut Thanks Giving. When we ordered Pizza Hut and then realized it was Thanksgiving. Ironically, I don’t think we could have chosen a more “back home comfort food” style dinner than that even if we had planned it. Banana Pancakes, Smoothies, and Thai Tea. It took a few weeks to find these, but we eventually did. At under a dollar each, we snacked on them any chance we could. First Breakfast. When we first arrived in Chiang Mai and came down for the breakfast buffet. It was delicious and filling, and I started imagining my new life where all I had to do was roll out of bed and arrive at a delicious buffet while someone made the bed and cleaned my room. There is SO MUCH to do here, and I can’t believe how much we actually squeezed in. I could imagine regular weekends here being full of fun stuff to do even if we weren’t tourists. There’s just always a lot going on here, and a really long list of cheap, fun, and close special activities for your days off. Feeding Hippos. Upon entering the Chiang Mai Zoo and being confronted with our first Chiang Mai animal experience. Our minds were blown as we literally placed carrots inside their giant mouths and patted them on the head as they chowed down. Movie Theatre Sofa. When Nicole and I got away for a movie and we ordered a sofa ticket. The theater was bigger and better than any back home, and we had the entire place to ourselves sitting back on our reclining sofa, legs stretched out as far as they could go. Total ticket price for the sofa was about $17 (for both of us). Fish Spa. When Rae saw a video of little girl from another traveling family dipping her feet in a tank of fish and letting them nibble at her toes, she absolutely HAD TO try it herself. Temple Exploration. Everywhere we went there were extravagant temples. Finding ourselves inside some temple, be it an ancient ruin or a sparkling silver and gold palace full of monks was just an everyday thing around almost every corner. Scooter Rides. We rented a scooter for the last half of our time here and enjoyed many cruises around the city and out into the suburbs. My favorite was cruising around the moat in the evening breeze past all the markets that came to life every night. Waterfall Day. The day we set out on our little scooter and hiked, swam, and relaxed at 3 of Chiang Mai’s many waterfall parks. Night Markets. They spring up everywhere at sundown and not only provide a great place to just walk and explore but are also full of delicious food for unbeatable prices. House Hunting. Could anyone spend a full month here and not starting pondering long-term stay? I think not. We actually spent a day with a realtor visiting a number of properties, and that day definitely qualifies as an exciting memory. From condos with a view, pool, gym, sauna, and private indoor kids playground to gated villas with 4 bedrooms and bathrooms that had urinals, it’s amazing what you can get here for a price that wouldn’t even return a single listing back home. The plane to Chiang Mai from Beijing was FULL of families with kids. We knew right away that this was going to be a kid friendly city. And it was! Indoor Playgrounds. Rae loved the big indoor playgrounds and could spend hours prancing around in there. Coffee Shops / Coworking. Many of the coffee shops here cater to people who need some space to work, and some of them are incredible. You can sit down and work for hours or even all day for the price of a cup of coffee. Sunrise Work. Every morning I’d get up around 3-4am and start working. I’d often have some Skype calls so I’d work outside so as not to wake up the others. It became a normal thing to be working outside with a cup of coffee watching the sunrise and listening to birds sing. Of course we know to expect the unexpected, and of course the some unexpected things did find us. Here are a few things that took us by surprise. Animal Closeness. I was repeatedly taken by surprise at how close you get with animals here. They are not far behind cages behind a wall of “do not feed” signs. Here when you go to the zoo, the animals are right there in front of you, and feeding, petting, and posing with animals is not only allowed but encouraged… and not at any extra cost either! We’ve aged! There are a lot of travelers in Chiang Mai, but it was kind of a shock to find that we’ve kind of aged ourselves out of the typical traveler demographic. We felt a bit out of place at times. Financial Roller Coaster. We planned to stick to a reasonable budget and didn’t think money would be much of an issue on our minds. The opposite was true. At first we thought our money would run out, and then the reverse happened and we had so much extra cash that coming up with ways to spend it became a real source of tension! Chinese are the Favorites. Nicole laughed when we arrived at the night bazzar and she saw a huge banner in Chinese: “We Warmly Welcome Chinese Tourists!” I didn’t see such a sign for us Canadians, Americans, or Europeans. The Chinese are now the ones with the money and get all the attention. Massages… meh. I was really looking forward to enjoying cheap massages on a daily basis. But they weren’t really cheap enough to incorporate into daily life, and the ones I did get were nothing special. Airplane Delay. After a 12 hour flight from Vancouver to Beijing and 2 hours transferring planes in Beijing, we had to sit, buckled in, while our plane sat on the runway at Beijing airport for 6 hours before the final 5 hour flight to Chiang Mai. Pool Problems. The pool was always the highest priority in our hotel selection, but we seem to have been cursed when it came to pools. Our first place advertised a pool, but it turned out the pool was at the hotel next door and after a few days we got the boot by management. The next place had a pool for one day, and then it broke down. The next place was fine, but it rained for the first few days and we only swam once or twice. The last place’s pool was also under maintenance when we got there. Bug Bites. The bugs were pretty bad and I think I scratched off a few layers of skin. Jacuzzi Mishaps. In our lavish hotel at the end of the trip we had a giant Jacuzzi in our room. The first night I had a near death by Jacuzzi experience, and the second day I left it on by accident all day and created a giant waterfall cascading from our 5th floor balcony through the balconies beneath and over the front entrance of the hotel. Short Size. I thought I’d bite the bullet and move up a size for when shopping for new shorts. When I got home I found that somehow I had still ended up with a small size. I went back to buy another pair, but only to discover it wasn’t that I got the wrong size, it was just that one size up wasn’t enough! I finally found my comfortable fit more than a few sizes up! Massage Toot. One of my greatest massages fears came true, and although it was humiliating, I still couldn’t help but write about it here. Forgetfulness. At first I was doing good with not forgetting stuff in various places. But one day I forgot my phone in my motorbike while I spent a few hours at the Night Safari. To my surprise, it was still there when I returned. From then on I seemed to forget something at almost every turn, whether it was my phone, t-shirt, keys in the ignition, etc. I never lost a single thing permanently though! And I still have no idea how you’re “supposed to” cross the street here.

you notice here that we have this counting index, i=1. then we do the loop code and we increase i by 1. we're doing this loop exactly 10 times. we go through the loop once more. i becomes 11, and since i exceeds 10 then we will exit the loop. If we want to do something exactly 10 times, we could implement this Loop Until. Now the common flow chart element these days for the For...Next looks like this. you go from this upper-right box into the left box. typically this is 1 then we go into this left box, does the index pass some limit? if that true then you're done and you just move along. we go back and the index then is incremented by 1. This is used frequently with vectors and arrays. then you have your loop code, and you always have Next index. but if you wanted to step by anything other than 1, you can put that after step. You can also count down, so you could start at 20 and count down by negative 2. An example that would sum the first n integers is shown here. For i = 1 to n, the new sum is equal to the old sum plus i. during the second loop, i will be 2. we're going to add that to the previous sum, so we get 6. And we keep going, and that's how you can sum the first n integers. course, which is the flow chart element for the For...Next loop shown on the left. n integers that are divisible by either 3 or 5. n is the argument of the function, so we can set up a For loop. that's going to be an integer, i is going to be an integer. is i divisible by 3 or 5? have to Dim by 1, so that's the number of items that are divisible by 3 or 5. If that's false then we don't do anything, we loop back to increment i by 1. And then once we have exceeded that index n, the limit, then we output C and we END. 5 is using the mod function. So let's go ahead and put this into VBA code. So I've created my module and my function, well I'm going to call this divisible. divisible is going to output an integer. C which is the count. i equals something, I put in Next i so I don't forget. i is divisible by 3 or 5, and we can use the mod function for that. i Mod 5 = 0 then we're going to add one to our count. loop, the only thing that we have to do once i has exceeded n is to output C. the first line of executable code just so we can see that this is working. count the number of integers between 1 and 30 that are divisible by 3 or 5. we can look down here in the locals window to see what's going on. And I'm just going to step through it. 5, so we add 1 to our count, so now our count is equal to 1. Then we can keep going and going. I'm going to go Run To Cursor. and there are 14 integers between 1 and 30 that are divisible by either 3 or 5. Let's go through another quick example. vector and it is going to output the number of 5's. it's going to let us know that there are 3 fives in our selection. we're then going to ask ourselves if each cell is equal to 5. is corresponding to Selection.Cells (i,1). If that's true, then we're going to increase our count by 1. If it's false, we're not going to do anything. And then we loop back and increase i by 1. then we output the number of items that are equal to 5 and we end. And because this is a sub routine we're going to output C in the message box. So let's put this into VBA code, I'm going to call this Sub CountFives. We need to Dim number of rows As Integer, i As Integer, and C As Integer. count the number of rows in our selection. Then we have a For Next fixed iteration loop, so that's what shown here. similar to the previous example. I can write it as a one-liner. be a single column, if that equals 5, then we're going to increment our count by 1. we're going to output c in the MsgBox. Let's go ahead and see if this one works. I start with my selection and I'm going to press F8. We're going to count the number of rows and we get 11 which makes sense. then we're going to add to our count. we are looking at Selection.Cells(i,1) which is row 1 column 1 of the selection. That's 4, 4 should not equal 5, so we bump up to the next. Now we're looking at row 2, i equals 2. That is a 6 which is not equal to 5. We bump up, now the third row, i is equal to 3. in fact that's what we do, we increase our count by 1 and then we keep going. it says there are 3 fives in your selection. you have a better understanding of what For...Next loops are in VBA.

From the North Pole to the Arctic Ocean, the frozen soils within this region keep an estimated 1,672 billion metric tons of carbon out of the Earth’s atmosphere. This sequestered carbon is more than 250 times the amount of greenhouse gas emissions attributed to the United States in the year 2009. As global temperatures slowly rise, however, so too do concerns regarding the potential impacts upon the carbon cycle when the permafrost thaws and releases the carbon that has been trapped for eons. Like so many of the planet’s critical environmental processes, the smallest players—microbes—have the most significant influence over the eventual outcome. To answer this question, researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Joint Genome Institute (JGI), the Earth Sciences Division (ESD) within Berkeley Lab, and the U.S. Geological Survey collaborated to understand how the microbes found in permafrost respond to their warming environment. Among the findings, published online November 6 in the journal Nature, is the draft genome of a novel microbe that produces methane, a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide. This microbe, not yet named, lives in the permafrost, and was assembled out of the collection of genomes—the metagenome—isolated from the frigid soil. The assembly challenge is similar to building one complete jigsaw puzzle from a large collection of pieces from many different puzzles. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in 2009 fossil fuel combustion accounted for 5.2 billion metric tons of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions, a tiny fraction (about 3/10 of 1 percent) of the carbon dioxide trapped in the Arctic permafrost. Understanding the microbial processes in the frozen soils and the impacts of microbial activity on carbon dioxide processes, has been a project of study co-author and USGS researcher Mark Waldrop, whose 2010 Community Sequencing Program project, another with the DOE JGI (in collaboration with Jansson), focuses on comparing the short-term microbial response of the thawing permafrost to the longer-term processes. Waldrop cored meter-deep permafrost samples from a peaty black spruce forest along Hess Creek, Alaska. Each sample was then divided to distinguish between the seasonally thawed “active” layer, which comprised the top third of the core, and the permanently frozen “permafrost” horizon underneath. The samples were incubated during thaw at 5°C and then sent to the Jansson lab for DNA extraction and analyses At the DOE JGI, the team led by Director Eddy Rubin and his postdoctoral fellow Rachel Mackelprang, (now at California State University-Northridge) sequenced microbial DNA from the samples. “These microbial communities are extremely diverse,” said Mackelprang. “A single gram of soil may contain thousands of different bacterial species and billions of cells. Additionally, most of these microbes cannot be grown in the laboratory, making this an extremely difficult area to study.” The data were then analyzed in collaboration with Jansson and her team at ESD, including Kristen DeAngelis, Maude David, and Krystle Chavarria. At DOE JGI, Mackelprang and her colleagues generated nearly 40 billion bases of raw DNA sequence, necessary due to the high microbial diversity of the soil. They identified several microbes that produced methane as a byproduct, and were able to assemble a draft genome of a novel methanogen. “This is the first example of a successful assembly of a draft genome from a highly complex soil metagenome,” the authors wrote. “The abundance of this novel methanogen suggests that it may be an important player in methane production under frozen conditions.” Additionally, the genomic data revealed that the microbe had genes for nitrogen fixation, making this study also the first to describe a potentially nitrogen-fixing methanogen in permafrost soil. The U.S. Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute, supported by the DOE Office of Science, is committed to advancing genomics in support of DOE missions related to clean energy generation and environmental characterization and cleanup. DOE JGI, headquartered in Walnut Creek, Calif., provides integrated high-throughput sequencing and computational analysis that enable systems-based scientific approaches to these challenges.

My point was that capital investment which is only possible through people that are wealthy enough to do it, is what is helpful to the world. Investment and spending( buying stuff aka consumption) are two very different things dispite what the president and politicians think. Investment has more to do with holding off on consumption for the time being in order to accumulate more capital goods. So it is spending in a way but it isn't consumption as in going out shopping and stuff like that. Investment comes from savings. Savings is only made possible if people are wealthy enough to do so. Investing in wealthy people does not help anyone but them. I am honestly not in this tonight. My head is swimming with stress... So, I'll just stop. It's cool. I just wanted to add a different perspective than the norm. But yeah, my point wasn't about investing in wealthy people. It had to do with the macro economic view of investment and savings which are the ways economies and wealth grows. My opinion is that charity is great for helping those in need in the short term and anyone willing to give towards worthwhile charity should be praised, but long run, help and relief to those in need largely comes savings and investments. (For reasons I've been too lazy to explain). Well, individual factors will effect how successful someone is throughout their life. For example, income is highly correlated with IQ level. But that's actually a slightly different subject because everyone's standard of living still goes up through basic market fundamentals and cooperation. There has always been people throughout all of history with different advantages and disadvantages, the main thing to keep in mind though is that the way we live, our standard of living or our material wealth as a whole is not some kind of static thing that never changes. In other words, would you rather be a poor disadvantaged person in the year 1515 or in the year 2015? One could even make a good argument as to how a poor person in 2015 lives in far greater comfort than a king of the 1600s. So I'd disagree that none of these things matter. They matter a lot. What do you disagree with? As a man, you are less oppressed. 90% of the world's violence is directed at women. You have a far greater opportunity to live a safer life just because you are a male. This states things are determined at birth given our heteropatriarchal society. If you do not fit into the heteronormative, you are very unlikely to become more than you pre-determined standing. I am not going discussing the puppets of the entertainment industry. Yes, they work hard, but those running it are all heteronormative people.

Below is the examples of template. A ruler is a template when used to draw a straight line. A document in which the standard opening and closing parts are already filled in is a template that you can copy and then fill in the variable parts. An overlay that you put on your computer keyboard telling you special key combinations for a particular application is a template for selecting the right keys to press. Flowcharting templates (not used much now) help programmers draw flowcharts or logic sequences in preparation for writing the code. In programming, a template is a generic class or other unit of source code that can be used as the basis for unique units of code. In C++, an object-oriented computing language, there are Standard Template Libraries from which programmers can choose individual template classes to modify. The Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFCL) is an example. There are four types of templates, which are shown below. Control Template. Data Template. ItemsPanel Template. HierarchalData Template. According to the definition, a template is a form, mold, or pattern used as a guide to making something. Do you know the benefits of using templates? Creating new documents for every opportunity your company approaches can waste valuable time and money. Instead, focus on original, internal templates that can be utilized for a variety of projects, including enterprise communications, as well as customer projects. Utilizing some templates for your business documents has the important benefit of maintaining document consistency. A business reproduces and uses multiple documents in large numbers. Having a ready-made template that you prefer and trust can help streamline the entire process-saving you time and stress. 6 Photos of "Notarized Letter Template For Child Travel 2018"

Interview Questions on Big Data and Hadoop MapReduce. Explain in brief what do you mean by a JobTracker in Hadoop? Can you tell how many instances of JobTracker run on a Hadoop Cluster? Answer : JobTracker is nothing but a daemon service which submits and tracks the MapReduce jobs that are in a Hadoop cluster. There is only One Job Tracker process run on any hadoop cluster. Job Tracker runs on its own JVM process. In a typical production cluster its run on a separate machine. Each slave node is configured with job tracker node location. JobTracker in Hadoop has the following significance as listed below. The client applications submit the jobs to the Job tracker. The TaskTracker nodes are then monitored. If they do not submit heartbeat signals often enough, they are termed as failure and the work is scheduled on a different TaskTracker. The JobTracker is the most important service in a Hadoop installation, and a single point of failure for the Hadoop MapReduce service. If it goes down, all running jobs are halted. As such, high availability of Hadoop should be ensured. How JobTracker schedules a task? Answer : The TaskTrackers send out heartbeat messages to the JobTracker, usually every few minutes, to reassure the JobTracker that it is still alive. These message also inform the JobTracker of the number of available slots, so the JobTracker can stay up to date with where in the cluster work can be delegated. When the JobTracker tries to find somewhere to schedule a task within the MapReduce operations, it first looks for an empty slot on the same server that hosts the DataNode containing the data, and if not, it looks for an empty slot on a machine within the same rack. Answer : A TaskTracker is a slave node daemon in the cluster that accepts tasks (Map, Reduce and Shuffle operations) from a JobTracker. There is only One Task Tracker process run on any hadoop slave node. Task Tracker runs on its own JVM process. Every TaskTracker is configured with a set of slots, these indicate the number of tasks that it can accept. The TaskTracker starts a separate JVM processes to do the actual work (called as Task Instance) this is to ensure that process failure does not take down the task tracker. The TaskTracker monitors these task instances, capturing the output and exit codes. When the Task instances finish, successfully or not, the task tracker notifies the JobTracker. The TaskTrackers also send out heartbeat messages to the JobTracker, usually every few minutes, to reassure the JobTracker that it is still alive. These message also inform the JobTracker of the number of available slots, so the JobTracker can stay up to date with where in the cluster work can be delegated. What is a Task instance in Hadoop? Where does it run? Answer : Task instances are the actual MapReduce jobs which are run on each slave node. The TaskTracker starts a separate JVM processes to do the actual work (called as Task Instance) this is to ensure that process failure does not take down the task tracker. Each Task Instance runs on its own JVM process. There can be multiple processes of task instance running on a slave node. This is based on the number of slots configured on task tracker. By default a new task instance JVM process is spawned for a task. How many Daemon processes run on a Hadoop system? Answer : Hadoop is comprised of five separate daemons. Each of these daemon run in its own JVM. Following 3 Daemons run on Master nodes NameNode - This daemon stores and maintains the metadata for HDFS. Secondary NameNode - Performs housekeeping functions for the NameNode. JobTracker - Manages MapReduce jobs, distributes individual tasks to machines running the Task Tracker. Following 2 Daemons run on each Slave nodes DataNode – Stores actual HDFS data blocks. TaskTracker - Responsible for instantiating and monitoring individual Map and Reduce tasks. What is configuration of a typical slave node on Hadoop cluster? How many JVMs run on a slave node? What is the difference between HDFS and NAS ? HDFS is designed to work with MapReduce System, since computation are moved to data. NAS is not suitable for MapReduce since data is stored seperately from the computations. HDFS runs on a cluster of machines and provides redundancy usinga replication protocal. Whereas NAS is provided by a single machine therefore does not provide data redundancy. How NameNode Handles data node failures? Answer : NameNode periodically receives a Heartbeat and a Blockreport from each of the DataNodes in the cluster. Receipt of a Heartbeat implies that the DataNode is functioning properly. A Blockreport contains a list of all blocks on a DataNode. When NameNode notices that it has not recieved a hearbeat message from a data node after a certain amount of time, the data node is marked as dead. Since blocks will be under replicated the system begins replicating the blocks that were stored on the dead datanode. The NameNode Orchestrates the replication of data blocks from one datanode to another. The replication data transfer happens directly between datanodes and the data never passes through the namenode. Does MapReduce programming model provide a way for reducers to communicate with each other? In a MapReduce job can a reducer communicate with another reducer? Answer : Nope, MapReduce programming model does not allow reducers to communicate with each other. Reducers run in isolation. Can I set the number of reducers to zero? Where is the Mapper Output (intermediate kay-value data) stored ? What are combiners? When should I use a combiner in my MapReduce Job? Answer : Combiners are used to increase the efficiency of a MapReduce program. They are used to aggregate intermediate map output locally on individual mapper outputs. Combiners can help you reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred across to the reducers. You can use your reducer code as a combiner if the operation performed is commutative and associative. The execution of combiner is not guaranteed, Hadoop may or may not execute a combiner. Also, if required it may execute it more then 1 times. Therefore your MapReduce jobs should not depend on the combiners execution. What is Writable & WritableComparable interface? Answer : org.apache.hadoop.io.Writable is a Java interface. Any key or value type in the Hadoop Map-Reduce framework implements this interface. Implementations typically implement a static read(DataInput) method which constructs a new instance, calls readFields(DataInput) and returns the instance. Answer : The Key must implement the org.apache.hadoop.io.WritableComparable interface. What is a IdentityMapper and IdentityReducer in MapReduce ? Answer : org.apache.hadoop.mapred.lib.IdentityMapper Implements the identity function, mapping inputs directly to outputs. If MapReduce programmer do not set the Mapper Class using JobConf.setMapperClass then IdentityMapper.class is used as a default value. What is the meaning of speculative execution in Hadoop? Why is it important? Answer : Speculative execution is a way of coping with individual Machine performance. In large clusters where hundreds or thousands of machines are involved there may be machines which are not performing as fast as others. This may result in delays in a full job due to only one machine not performing well. In order to avoid this situation, speculative execution in Hadoop can run multiple copies of same map or reduce task on different slave nodes. The results from first node to finish are used. What is a NameNode? How many instances of NameNode run on a Hadoop Cluster? Answer : The NameNode is the centerpiece of an HDFS file system. It keeps the directory tree of all files in the file system, and tracks where across the cluster the file data is kept. It does not store the data of these files itself. There is only One NameNode process run on any hadoop cluster. NameNode runs on its own JVM process. In a typical production cluster its run on a separate machine. The NameNode is a Single Point of Failure for the HDFS Cluster. When the NameNode goes down, the file system goes offline. Client applications talk to the NameNode whenever they wish to locate a file, or when they want to add/copy/move/delete a file. The NameNode responds the successful requests by returning a list of relevant DataNode servers where the data lives. When is the reducers are started in a MapReduce job? Answer : In a MapReduce job reducers do not start executing the reduce method until the all Map jobs have completed. Reducers start copying intermediate key-value pairs from the mappers as soon as they are available. The programmer defined reduce method is called only after all the mappers have finished. What is HDFS ? How it is different from traditional file systems? Answer : HDFS, the Hadoop Distributed File System, is responsible for storing huge data on the cluster. This is a distributed file system designed to run on commodity hardware. It has many similarities with existing distributed file systems. However, the differences from other distributed file systems are significant. What is HDFS Block size? How is it different from traditional file system block size? Answer : In HDFS data is split into blocks and distributed across multiple nodes in the cluster. Each block is typically 64Mb or 128Mb in size. Each block is replicated multiple times. Default is to replicate each block three times. Replicas are stored on different nodes. HDFS utilizes the local file system to store each HDFS block as a separate file. HDFS Block size can not be compared with the traditional file system block size. How the HDFS Blocks are replicated? Answer : HDFS is designed to reliably store very large files across machines in a large cluster. It stores each file as a sequence of blocks; all blocks in a file except the last block are the same size. The blocks of a file are replicated for fault tolerance. The block size and replication factor are configurable per file. An application can specify the number of replicas of a file. The replication factor can be specified at file creation time and can be changed later. Files in HDFS are write-once and have strictly one writer at any time. The NameNode makes all decisions regarding replication of blocks. HDFS uses rack-aware replica placement policy. In default configuration there are total 3 copies of a datablock on HDFS, 2 copies are stored on datanodes on same rack and 3rd copy on a different rack. What do you mean by a DataNode? Can you tell us how many instances of DataNode run on a Hadoop Cluster? Answer : A DataNode is responsible for storing the real data in the Hadoop File System HDFS. There is only One DataNode process run on any hadoop slave node. DataNode runs on its own JVM process. On startup, a DataNode connects to the NameNode. DataNode instances can talk to each other, this is mostly during replicating data. Tell us about how the Client communicates with HDFS? Answer : The Client communicates with HDFS using Hadoop HDFS Application Programming Interface (API).

In our last blog post, we discussed how gastric bypass surgery can affect type-2 diabetes. Today, we’ll talk about the post-surgical recovery process and what you can expect in the days, weeks, and months following the gastric bypass procedure. Gastric bypass surgery is typically performed utilizing a laparoscopic technique (small surgical instruments and a miniature camera which relay images of the surgical field to a video monitor). This method allows our experienced bariatric surgeon, Dr. James Parrish, to create much smaller incisions, therefore minimizing residual scarring and recovery time. With that in mind, gastric bypass surgery does require a brief hospital stay of two nights, and patients can expect some degree of discomfort following treatment. Any pain in the ensuing days can be controlled with oral medication. Many individuals are able to resume working after one week; however, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about one month after surgery. Dr. Parrish will schedule regular follow-up appointments with you to check on your progress. Dr. Parrish and our bariatric surgery team will supply you with detailed post-operative instructions. While you will only be able to eat soft foods in the first days and weeks after surgery, you will gradually be able to ingest more solid foods as you continue to heal. One of the most important things to remember about weight loss surgery is that it is a tool for weight loss; there are a variety of lifestyle changes that will be necessary to ensure you lose significant amounts of weight both safely and successfully. Part of our comprehensive weight loss surgery program is providing you with counsel and guidance when it comes to nutrition and diet after the initial treatment. We have found that the most important predictor of success is regular and lifelong follow up with your surgeon. We will assist you with your new diet and the ways in which you will need to supplement your meals with the vitamins and nutrients necessary to maintain your overall health while you lose weight. Find answers to frequently asked questions about bariatric surgery here. Dr. Parrish is skilled with advanced bariatric surgery techniques designed to reduce the initial recovery process. During your consultation, he can answer your questions about all aspects of gastric bypass surgery and help you determine whether this procedure is best for your needs. For more information on gastric bypass surgery, or to schedule a consultation with Dr. Parrish, please contact us today.

Classic chiller starring Tippi Hedren and Rod Taylor. A chance meeting in a San Francisco pet shop impels wealthy playgirl Melanie Daniels to track down lawyer Mitch Brenner at his mother's home in Bodega Bay, 70 miles away. As a gift, she takes a pair of lovebirds with her. This seemingly innocuous act unleashes the forces of nature in an unexpected and terrifying way as Bodega Bay becomes prey to "the Birds". The ne plus ultra of the fifties/early sixties 'nature bites back' sub-genre - brilliantly shot and constructed with some magnificent set pieces (the children leaving the school, the attack on the gas station) and shot through with dark humour and a proto-eco concern message. Psycho gets all the plaudits from the horror fans and Vertigo from the critics but The Birds is the third corner of the triangle where moments of gory blood letting are juxtaposed with a genuine sense of psychological terror in face of the unknown. Rod Taylor is reliably handsome and brave as the leading man but it's Tippi Hedren's performance that really makes the film, with able support from Jessica Tandy, Suzanne Pleshette and (especially) Ruth McDevitt as Mrs MacGruder, the local bird watcher and Cassandra of doom. The really long prologue, before the action shifts to Bodega Bay, might have newcomers scratching their head and wondering what on earth is going on; but it brilliantly sets up and foreshadows the events that follow. Hitchcock was a master of the cinema at the height of his powers when he made this film, and it's structure, look and message all had a huge influence on generations of future film makers.

I like to try and keep a routine as it helps me to achieve more by being disciplined with balancing my business, daily chores and family life. At the start of each week I set myself a weekly to do list as a target to work towards filled with things I want to achieve or need to complete during the week. This list is often quite large and sometimes is a bit too ambitious, but it keeps me on track and makes me accountable! The beginning of each day is always the same and really regimented and always involves a coffee first thing in the morning whilst I check my emails and social media accounts, followed by some light household duties to get them out of the way and I if I am not too busy I like to go for a morning walk. Next I select 3 - 5 tasks from my weekly to do list that I plan on completing that day, this way my weekly list is broken down into smaller more manageable chunks and is not too daunting. I like to start the week by dealing with all the non-artistic business related things such as accounts, admin and planning, to get them out of the way early in the week and off my mind. This then leaves me feeling more refreshed, motivated and free to create and work on my illustrations and designs for the rest of the week. I am a bit of a night owl so I do a lot of my initial sketches and drawing at night when I have the house to myself and then the next day I will work on final artwork and repeat pattern collections. Some days and weeks do not always go as I had planned and I juggle my design work in between running a business with my husband so I try to make sure I have at least one day a week where I do not do any work and I am away from the computer. I have always had a love for fabrics, fashion and textiles since my early childhood and when I was growing up I wanted to be either a ballerina or fashion designer! I was always artistic and enjoyed making things and I had to fit this in between my hectic schedule of learning ballet 6 days a week before and after school. I really enjoyed pottery, sculpture, drawing, painting, copper art and even macramé and string art! I learned how to sew, knit, crotchet, do tapestry and embroidery from my mother and grandmother when I was young and I remember designing and sewing my first outfit when I was 9 years old. During this full time year of study I learned about Surface Pattern Design and I decided that this was what I wanted to do. Six years later and after taking numerous other courses I have worked to create an extensive portfolio of designs and illustration art which I will be exhibiting in New York at Blueprint, an independent Illustration and Print Show this May 20th - 22nd. I decided to join in with a challenge started by Joanne Hawker called March Meet The Maker. It is more than just a challenge, it's about bringing a creative people from around the world together to showcase others what they do. March Meet The Maker also is about building each other up, making new connections, telling your small business story, growing your confidence and most importantly, it's about putting yourself out there. I think it is a wonderful way for people to get to know a little bit about the people behind the art, design and creative products that they see online. Day 1 Prompt YOU - introduce yourself, share a photo and tell a little bit about yourself. Hello I am Kirsten the artist and designer behind Kirsten Katz Art & Design. I am an Illustrator & Surface Pattern Designer and I also a small range of Home Decor products which I make myself. I live in Sydney Australia next to Bondi Beach. I am married to a jeweller and we have 4 grown up children, 3 sons and a daughter ranging in ages 28 - 21 years old ..... lol that makes me sound old! I grew up studying ballet from the age of 4 and taught ballet until I was 28, then my family duties as well as our jewellery business took priorities in my life. I always did art in my own time and about 17 years ago I began embarking on a creative pathway doing paintings, block printing, mosaics, fabric collage, screen printing and I even studied Web Design and IT. Through all this I found my love of prints and textile design so I applied to study Print and Textile Design at the Fashion Design Studio. I have finally found some time to set up my newsletter and my much awaited September Newsletter which was sent out yesterday! You can read about what I have been up to over the last few months and see some of the design projects I have worked on as well as some of my new designs. Make It In Design Interview! It has been an accumulation of experiences, learning, interests, careers and different businesses over the past 30 years or so that has taken me into the world of surface pattern design. These past 30 years definitely have added a backbone and undercurrent to following my dream and artistic pursuit to be a designer. Growing up I was always artistic and I loved art and crafts classes, everything from pottery, sculpture, drawing, painting, copper art and even macrame and string art! I learned how to sew, knit, crotchet, do cross stitch and embroidery from my mother and grand mother. So I was always making things to either wear, display or to decorate in some way. That is the question and something that has been on my mind all day. However before I go into my thoughts and decisions about this I will share with you a very funny memory from Las Vegas when I was there on a business trip. What Do I Want? What Makes Me Happy? What Do I Really Enjoy Doing? The answer to all these questions was - To Design! Great I know what I want, what makes me happy and what I really love to do....But what now?

And made friends with the keepers of hell. And swam across the lake of fire. Gabriel and Rumi to name a few. For I was hoping to leave again. And more filthy than Satan’s fallen. But stained still it was, with blood of men slain. I was fit, both for heaven and hell. God knew too. He returned me to earth.

Despite diet and exercise, some stubborn fatty spots just won't go away. If you have experienced this problem, you may be considering liposuction. Liposuction has long been used to contour trouble areas like the lower stomach and inner thighs. Tumescent liposuction is the latest improvement on traditional liposuction, offering superior results with less pain and improved healing. Schedule a consultation with Tijuana-based plastic surgeon Rodolfo Castillo Calderon to see how tumescent liposuction can help you. In the meantime, read on to learn about the many benefits of tumescent liposuction over traditional treatments. Tumescent liposuction is different from traditional liposuction in that it uses a special fluid solution to reduce pain and produce better results. This special solution is made up of lidocaine to reduce pain, epinephrine to reduce bleeding, and saline to help liquify fat. The tumescent solution is injected into the fatty areas to be treated. As the solution fills the tissue, the area will swell and the surgeon will make a small incision through which the liposuction tool, a cannula, will be inserted. Once the cannula is in place, it will be used to suction out stubborn fat and sculpt the desired contours. Reduced Pain: The lidocaine used in the tumescent liposuction injection makes this technique less painful than traditional methods. Reduced Blood Loss: The tumescent liposuction technique helps reduce blood loss thanks to the epinephrine used in the pre-liposuction injection. Epinephrine helps reduce blood loss by constricting the blood vessels. Reduced Swelling and Bruising: Tumescent liposuction is less traumatic to the body, as the liquified fat is more easily removed. This results in less swelling and less bruising after treatment. Improved Results:Tumescent liposuction yields smoother results than traditional liposuction for a more evenly sculpted look. Improved Recovery Time: On average, those who undergo tumescent liposuction versus traditional liposuction tend to have a faster recovery. Improved Confidence: Tumescent liposuction can encourage increased confidence by improving the appearance of fatty trouble spots, helping you to feel good about your body. Fluid Accumulation: If too much tumescent solution is injected prior to liposuction, fluid accumulation may occur. Lidocaine Toxicity:Lidocaine toxicity can result if concentration levels of lidocaine are too high in the tumescent fluid. Tumescent liposuction is a great tool to help patients look and feel their best. To find out if tumescent liposuction is right for you or to discuss alternative treatments, we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Castillo.

When Meagan from The Charming Farmer asked me to join this DIY Mama blog hop and share how I balance blogging and being a mama, I was a little apprehensive. Okay, I was a lot apprehensive. I definitely don’t have it all together, nor do I have this whole DIY blogger and mom thing figured out. I’m going to guess I’m not the only one out there who doesn’t, either. Amiright? Being a mom is challenging. Blogging is time consuming. Doing motherhood and blogging simultaneously isn’t a walk in the park, but it’s something I absolutely love doing. If you’re new around here, let me share a little bit more about my journey to motherhood. It all started when my hubby David and I got married just over 4 years ago. He’s an amazing and caring man, and I’m so happy he chose me to be his wife! He doesn’t really share my love of DIY crafts and projects (however he does jump in when I need help!), but he’s incredibly supportive and encouraging when I have countless crazy craft and home decor ideas; just one of the reasons I love him! We knew we wanted to wait a couple of years before starting a family, so we worked and spent all our free time together our first couple years of marriage. When we decided we would start “trying” for a baby, we had no idea how long it’d take. Not even a month later (on the day my niece was actually born), I found out I was pregnant! Our sweet baby girl Jade was born in November of 2013. She is a little energetic fire cracker; she totally lights up our world! We love every minute with her, and love watching her grow and become a darling little girl. A few months after she was born, I was struggling to “find myself” again. I had this new role as a mother and I just didn’t quite know what to do with it all. Life had changed a lot, and now I was home 24/7 with this little baby. I felt so alone each day, going about the mundane tasks of the housework. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love being a stay at home mom with Jade and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world; but I needed something else. So, I decided to start sharing things I crafted and made, and to start a little blog! It’s been my outlet this past year, and has helped me feel like I have something for myself. Something I’m working on for me. And let me tell you, there’s no room to be selfish as a mama, so having this little blog was so incredibly important and meaningful. I think you other mama’s can relate! In the beginning of my blogging journey, I went head on. I tried to do it all. I was trying to crank out 3 posts a week, all new material, link up to all link parties I could find, reach out to others on social media, etc. I found that after a few months, it was really taking it’s toll. I loved being able to be creative and share it all on my blog, but I was trying to do too much (which is what I always tend to do!). I put waaaaay too much pressure on myself. While it was easier in the sense that Jade was still so young and not yet mobile (and slept a lot), I still was trying to do more than I really needed. I struggled with this being my hobby and also wanting it to be a career and help with the finances, and it almost caused me to just give up. More than once, in fact. Contrary to what I try and tell myself, I can’t do all the things. However, I’ve finally found some balance. Sort of. Now that Jade is a little older and is really active, I try to only do blog related work when she’s napping or after she’s in bed. It makes it difficult to stay on top of things, but I get to spend more time with Jade, which is why I’m home in the first place. We play and read books some of the day, and then we do chores together. She helps me fold the laundry (aka trying on all of mommy’s shirts and daddy’s socks), and helps empty the dishwasher. She also has time to herself, where she will read books quietly or play with her toys and I’ll have a chance to do a few other things around the house. But when it’s nap time, it’s mommy work time. I get my rear in gear and get all my crafts and projects hammered out, as well as any photos taken while it’s still light. After Jade goes to bed, I work on editing photos and writing my posts. I’m never ahead, but I’m not too far behind. I like to call myself a professional procrastinator. However, I always get work done when it’s needed, even if that means staying up late to do so, which there have been many nights of here and there. I think the biggest challenge of motherhood is making sure I’m doing all I can to provide the best for Jade. I’m not talking about food and essential things; I’m talking about social, emotional, and learning opportunities. I think every mom worries, “am I doing enough? Should I be doing more? Maybe I need to read to them more often.” It’s easy to get down on ourselves, myself included. I always try and be the best mom I know how to be for Jade, but I still fall short. Especially on days where I may need to do a few projects while she’s awake; I worry I’m failing as her mom. While it’s easy to think, I know it’s not true. When it comes to being a mama, I’m no expert. When it comes to being a blogger, I’m definitely no expert. There are days where I struggle to find balance between the two, and some days I feel I’m only getting by. But, in the end, my daughter goes to bed fed, clothed, and happy. As I watch her sleeping over the baby monitor, I know I’ve succeeded in something today even though my blog may be left in the dust along with the dishes and laundry. I know that my job as her mom is the only thing that matters, and that makes my heart happy. While I haven’t done a ton of kid based projects (yet!), there are a few you might enjoy. This DIY PVC Pipe Book Storage is such an easy project to complete, and is perfect in any kiddos’ room! You can also make an easy felt banner for kids with just a piece of felt, a dowel, and some string! Jade loves to put up shapes and tell me their colors. It’s such a great learning tool! We hope to have another kiddo someday soon, and by then, I’ll probably be posting a lot more kid-based projects and crafts. I can’t wait! If I could leave you with one thought, it’d be this: live in the moment with your child, for they grow up way. too. fast. Every moment is precious. Experience life all over again through your child’s eyes. They will teach you things you never knew before; you just have to be in the moment with them! A huge thanks to Meagan for inviting me to join in on this fun and share my little DIY Mama “balancing act” with you! If you’d like to read what some other amazing DIYmama’s do to balance life, head over to their blogs below and be inspired! I agree! Ha! The laundry may get left undone more than anything else. 😉 Thanks for stopping by Jillian, happy to join you in this DIY Mama group! Such a great and heartfelt post, Amanda! You are such a sweet Mommy…. and awesome blogger! I agree 100% of time consuming it is; it’s rewarding as well but like you said, I want to remember to live in the moment and cherish these days when they’re small! Hugs, friend! Thank you so much, Kendra!! You are too kind. It’s amazing how fast the time goes and how quickly they grow! It seems like just yesterday Jade was just a few months old, and now she’ll be 2 in November! I love cherishing those little moments. 🙂 Hugs to you too, sweet friend!! These resonated with me so much, thank you for sharing your story! Thank you, Lauren!! I think it’s fun to share real life stuff. Life is messy sometimes, and it’s ok to show the world! 😉 Thanks for stopping by! Thank you, Bee!! I hear you on that, expert status will never be reached. And I’m ok with that! 😉 Thanks for popping over for a visit! Hi, Amanda ~ I so enjoyed this post! It’s hard to find balance, but I’m with you, I love blogging and being a mom, so I’ll keep trying to find it! :0) I loved seeing all of your family photos and photos of your adorable Jade! Personality and a half with that girl! Thanks for opening up and sharing more about your struggles and priorities. Have a happy week! Hi Tiffany! Thank you so much! And thank you for your kinds words about Jade. 🙂 Yes, she IS personality and a half!! But she’s so much fun. Hope you have a fantastic week, friend! Great post! I have a 4 month old and started my blog about a week before she was born. Balance, balance, balance. It’s such a good reminder. It’s so easy to want to do it all, and to try to. You’re right, blogging and chores sometimes need to wait because time with our little ones is so much more important. This post was so good for me today! I’m a full-time working mama of a 3 year old little boy. I’m blessed in that, I work for our family business so I get to bring him with me to the shop 3 days a week, and he loves it. He goes to preschool the other two days, so we’ve found a good balance. But…when you try to add my passion for blogging into there, it gets a lot more complicated!! I’m constantly striving to keep a balance between mommy/dominic time, and blogging time. Nice to know I’m not alone!! Great perspective thanks. I work, blog, and have a family and I am struggling (and failing) miserably to do all three. As long as everyone is happy, health, and fed I try not to stress too much about it. You’re absolutely right! Those 3 things are most important, everything else can wait. You are amazing for being a working mom, too! Thank you for taking the time to read my mess! 😉 Have a great week! It’s so hard to find a balance! My son is 6, so he’s pretty vocal about when the balance isn’t tipped in his favor! Enjoy this time, it goes by so fast!

I say I am a traveler, that I love to travel, I want to travel. I say this to me, to convince myself selves that it is true. Then, once in a while, I think. And I wonder why I travel? Why I want to travel? Even if I am not currently moving, I am not stopped and I play this ambiguous role in a land that is not mine. But about this static traveling, I have already written. Now I would like to linger over one of the many facets of the trip: the escape. Am I escaping? Am I running from something, from someone? As I wondered I stumbled upon a very interesting article by Erika Eramo (in Italian, dor other interesting articles in English see links below). The journalist and writer published on the magazine Aperture an article titled Travel as futile escape from the ego: tecum sunt quae fugis, tosses and turns, however, when it comes to travel as an escape the two most important references are: Seneca and Baudelaire. The first deals with topic in the Moral Letters to Lucilius (Letter 28. On travel as a cure for discontent). The second in Les Fleurs du Mal. However Seneca writes to Lucilius quoting Vergil and with a series of rhetorical questions he tries to explain that the journey is not a way to escape, because what we are trying to get away from is our ego. Do you suppose that you alone have had this experience? Are you surprised, as if it were a novelty, that after such long travel and so many changes of scene you have not been able to shake off the gloom and heaviness of your mind? You need a change of soul rather than a change of climate. Though you may cross vast spaces of sea, and though, as our Vergil remarks, Lands and cities are left astern, your faults will follow you whithersoever you travel. There is only one possible journey: the one in our inner world. I do not think you can travel more in our planet. Just as I do not think you travel to return. Man can never return to the same point where he started, because, in the meantime, he has changed. Man can not escape from himself. In the journey we carry with us all what we are . We bring with us the house of our soul, like a turtle with its shell. In truth, the journey through the countries of the world is for the man. a symbolic journey. Everywhere he goes is your soul that is looking for. For this reason a man should be able to travel. Even in the case of a two weeks holiday or a weekend in the mountains, the journey becomes an escape: from routine, from the city noise, traffic. But in these cases is a normal need to change the environment, scenery and recovering. It is obvious that this is not the case. The journey as an escape from oneself is something deeper, more visceral. A kind of necessity that once carried out it seems to take a certain appeal. It is very likely that all great travelers had a reason within that fed the desire to discover and explore, but we get only the miles traveled, the notes written, the pictures taken. But what was inside their minds, their hearts? What prompted them to go? In the same way I asked myself if my travels are and have been an end in themselves, or I rid myself of the burden that rests upon me (Seneca)? Which one? From what I escape? From what, to whom shall I hide? The answer is once again one. From me. The question, in fact, is another. Maybe because I have not accepted who I am, as I am. Perhaps because somehow I have always hidden, and now I have only found another way to continue to do it, more profitably. Maybe I did not accept my faults, my problems and trying to hide those I started to hide myself. Creating other Me. Each one with a different role, to be played on different occasions and situations. And now, that I would only want be one, I don’t find me and meanwhile I’m nobody. I run away from me, and I think I can find nyself far away. Then, I look for ne in the best places, no doubt. While I am looking I find pieces of the world that by land or by sea made me love what in the journey we inevitably discover and learn, know, live and share. • Do We Travel To Escape Reality?

The biggest party of the year is on again! Emu Park Lions Club, local businesses including Young’s Bus Services and community organisations have once again put together an Oktoberfest event which is not to be missed. Traditionally Oktoberfest is the world’s largest beer festival held annually in Munich, Bavaria and Germany that runs for almost 18 days with over 6 million people in participation. The event is an important part of Bavarian culture and has been since 1810. Things won’t be that extreme here in Emu Park but the event will still be an “must-not-miss extravaganza”. Bus services to Emu Park will be operating to the standard Route 20 Saturday timetable with a few late services available too. 3 services to Rockhampton (via Zilzie & Yeppoon) at 10.30pm. Swap the car for your dancing shoes and immerse yourself in Bavarian culture. We’ll get you home safely so you can enjoy the traditional Bavarian folk dancing, cowbells, yodelling and plenty of sing-along polka hits. Food at Oktoberfest will include traditional German potato pancakes German sausages, sauerkraut & potato salad German and other imported beers and so much more.

The problem of how to deal with babies born alive after abortion has been highlighted by a question asked at the Council of Europe. The Committee of Ministers has been asked to act ‘in order to guarantee that foetuses who survive abortions are not deprived of the medical treatment that they are entitled to - as human persons born alive - according to the European Convention on Human Rights’. The question is highly relevant in view of a story in the Daily Mail which claimed that 66 babies survived NHS termination attempts in one year alone. Sixty-six of the 2,235 neonatal deaths notified in England and Wales followed legal termination (predominantly on account of congenital anomalies) of the pregnancy ie. born showing signs of life and dying during the neonatal period. Sixteen were born at 22 weeks’ gestation or later and death occurred between 1 and 270 minutes after birth (median: 66 minutes). The remaining 50 fetuses were born before 22 weeks’ gestation and death occurred between 0 and 615 minutes after birth (median: 55 minutes). I have checked the CEMACH reports for 2009 and 2011 (covering 2007 and 2009 respectively) and found no similar reference, but in the latter a diagram on page 51 (figure 6.2) does say that figures of early neonatal deaths following termination of pregnancy have been (deliberately) excluded. The strong implication is that they are still happening, but just not being reported. Another child in Florence survived three full days after having been aborted. Such events are happening everywhere that late term abortions are allowed, but are rarely reported and made public…. To prevent these situations, Norway decided at the beginning of January to prohibit abortion completely after 22 weeks, the threshold of viability outside the uterus as determined by the World Health Organisation. The Committee of Ministers will provide a written response to this question in the coming weeks. But given that abortion is legal up until 24 weeks in Britain, it seems inconceivable that babies are not still being born alive after abortion here. But clearly whoever knows the facts is keeping quiet. Perhaps someone should ask some questions in the Westminster parliament too.

Eisenhower was quoted as saying “No plan survives contact with the enemy” and our plan this March had been to not be in Europe for B-Day, but the enemy, being Mrs Mayhem herself seems to have buggered this up big time and may now delay it until we finish our cycle trip here. No need for that Mrs Mayhem, please don’t wait on our account! Still, the good thing about being 5 hours behind the UK is that by the time we get up she’s done half her daily allotment of damage and there only another few hours until she stops for the day to plan the next days disasters. Anyway, enough about the UK’s slide into ignominious obscurity and on to what the darn heck are we doing stateside again after getting a tad fed up with Plolystyrene cups, God Bless America stickers and the poverty of the interior. Well, it’s warm, flat and in a different time zone from the UK and has little interest in the demise of the mother country, which works for us. We’ve come back to Florida to warm up and get fit – our joints stopped aching the day after we landed (heaven) and the sun hasn’t stopped shining yet. We will head up the coast a bit and then across to the Gulf coast to see our cousins before hiring a car to skip the middle out and get back to the coast to cycle the outer banks to Washington DC. We then will try (assuming we don’t get injured like last year) to go on the C&O canal and Great allegheny Rail trail to Pittsburgh and on to Canada completing our south to North US cycle. Hopefully by then it will be safe to return to Europe without the latest Mrs Mayhem disaster being all that’s talked about and we can look forward to food shortages and long border crossings for all Brits who’ve taken back control…. So as Ben Elton used to say ” A little bit of Politics there” but now that’s out of the system I promise not to dwell on it anymore, where exactly are we? This year we’ve flown into Orlando along with the Disney holidaymakers arriving on a very pleasant Norwegian Air flight that really entered into the spirt of Disney and laid on its own roller coaster on the final approach throwing us around like Thunder Mountain and keeping the cabin crewe busy distributing complimentary sick bags. It even led to someone lighting up a ciggy in the loo! Worst bumps we’ve experienced. Fortunately it all stopped at 1000m and the landing was very smooth. The airport baggage system at Orlando is very odd. After collecting your luggage off the conveyor belt you then put your luggage on a conveyor belt again and watch it disappear whilst you take a train to the main terminal and wait it’s arrival. By the time Tilly arrived we’d had time for short kip and the airport was beginning to look like a ghost town. Still, she appeared intact and our taxi showed up instantly we walked out to the road to take us to our airbnb was very good. The next day we assembled Tilly and had a test ride and within 1km we’d found a great vegetarian restaurant, seen plenty of cycle lanes and cycle route signs and met two cycle tourers. It almost feels like Europe, except no one’s walking around with a newspaper under their arm with the word Brexit on it, and I’d promised not to do that….

Ancient peoples had a more vivid view of the night sky than we have. Our forebearers created colorful mythologies to explain the light shows known as Auroras, but we hemispherically-centric people in the northern hemisphere call the Northern Lights. Northern Lights over Lyngen fjord, March 2012. Auroras occur because of solar winds. Solar winds are highly charged electrons blown from the Sun toward the Earth. Streams of charged particles, called plasma, escape the Sun's gravity because of their high energy (1.5 to 10 KeV). Solar winds flow at supersonic speeds outward from the Sun covering great distances and creating geomagnetic storms in the Earth's magnetosphere. Depiction of solar wind particles interacting with Earth's magnetosphere. When the highly charged electrons enter the Earth's upper atmosphere they encounter oxygen and nitrogen at various altitudes. Color in Northern Lights is determined by whether oxygen or nitrogen atoms are struck first and at what altitude. Shifting combinations of charged particles encountering atmospheric gases at various altitudes make the Northern Lights undulate and dance in the night sky. Northern Lights Mythology & Science, GrokEarth, 24 March 2012.

This morning I was feeling a lot of remorse for having failed to live up to my own standards yesterday. Despite knowing that searing remorse is actually counter-productive if allowed to sap one’s resolve and strength I spent the first ten or so minutes just feeling the disgust and bitterness of it. But slowly, it began to dawn on me that the proximate cause of the arising of metta is to reflect on the goodness of the person to whom you’re sending it. And me, being just a person among billions of others, have done any number of good things. In fact, I try my best to fill my days with them. Using the ten paramis as my springboard for reflection I was able to rescue the heart from its pit of despair and cultivate metta first for me and then for others. And, as hard as it can be to remember, I have to remain steadfast in my conviction that I have never failed until I actually surrender, regardless of how hard it may seem to seek good and begin again. In short, in order to overcome the suffering it must be borne first, accepted and then it must be let go and we must rekindle our resolve to do good and do better for ourselves and all beings.

Is Santa Claus a secret Nazi? Ok, so you know how there are lots of white people in northern Europe? And, like, Canada? What if a bunch of far-right shitlords were able to convince the media that cold weather was a white thing? Then the libs would have to support global warming! One thing almost all online misogynists can agree about is that makeup is a lie — a way for women to hide their true ugliness and capture the attention of men who are objectively better-looking than them on that ten-point scale that these dudes are so obsessed with.

Headache and Migraine Specialists are a growing network of medical practitioners who are committed to improving the lives of migraine and headache sufferers. Through a combination of shared best practice and the latest research, Headache and Migraine Specialists hope to establish common guidelines and pathways of care that ensure the best available treatment for patients. Headache & Migraine Specialists work closely with GPs, commissioning bodies, health centres and hospitals to reduce the cost of assessment and treatment of head pain. The World Health Organisation estimate that 250 million work and school days are lost in the UK every year as a result of headaches and migraines. Repeat visits to doctors surgeries, expensive brain imagining and reliance on pain medication place a strain on the health service and yet investigation of underlying problems cause anxiety and treatment – when it exists – is often ineffective. Headache & Migraine Specialists offer an alternative approach that is cost efficient and effective in significantly reducing pain for the vast majority of sufferers. Headache and migraines are usually the result of a combination of triggers ranging from genetic predisposition to reactions to food additives and stress. One often under-diagnosed cause is cervicogenic pain emanating from the shoulders and the neck. Poor posture, sitting still for hours at a time, repetitive movements and tension result in pain signals being sent that are subsequently misinterpreted by the brain as head pain. Clinical observation has shown that skilled physical manipulation by physiotherapists who are trained in headache and migraine treatment can reduce pain for over 80% of sufferers. We are always happy to hear from medical practitioners who are interested in joining the network. For further information please see our website or contact Headache & Migraine Specialists on 0844 264 0305.

Australians have been sold the idea that our primary school teachers today have poor literacy standards, not only by popular media but often by politicians and sometimes even by the universities that train our teachers. So how true is it? What evidence is there to support these claims? My colleagues* and I decided to find out. This blog post is a report on our ongoing research. We haven’t finished yet. Our starting point is a survey of what the profession itself thinks (if you are a primary school teacher you might like to join in). We made a few surprising discoveries just to get to this point. As Professor Bill Louden pointed out a few years and a few reports ago, there have been over 100 reports on teacher education in the last 40 years. As a direct result literacy and numeracy testing of preservice teachers ( student teachers) is being rolled out across Australia. We are particularly interested in the construction of preservice and graduate teachers as lacking in literacy capabilities. It is not surprising that these comments are not supported with evidence. What we did find surprising is how little evidence has been used to support recommendations in government reports. We examined academic papers and research reports, government reports and submissions to inquiries, and media commentary. So let’s go back to that report. The data quoted as evidence are provided through a description of “issues raised” in focus group discussions by participants. The literacy competency of student teachers was raised as an issue in all focus group discussions. Participants reported that many pre-service teachers lacked the literacy skills required to be effective teachers of reading. Surely the evidence provided was not just a group of teachers complaining about the quality of pre-service teachers? Well not entirely. The report also drew on other reports, as well as some small scale studies involving the testing of pre-service teachers’ knowledge of aspects of language use. One of these sources that is often cited is the Australian Government Report Prepared to Teach. Yet the lead author of this report, one William Louden, also argued there is a need to investigate the different factors influencing the quality of our preservice teachers. So after following the trail back to here, we decided to take up Louden’s suggestion and look closely at the different areas discussed around the literacy standards of primary school teachers. We believe that the factors that influence the quality of pre-service and graduate teachers can be grouped together into four dimensions. The first dimension relates to the personal literacy capabilities of preservice teachers. Can preservice teachers spell? Can they write? Is it true that “Graduating pre-service teachers’ levels of personal literacy should be equivalent to the top 30 per cent of the population”? The second dimension relates to preservice and graduate teachers’ knowledge of the English curriculum. They don’t know enough about literature, they don’t know how to assess writing, they don’t know what to include and exclude from their classroom teaching. Hence the increase in packages and programs such as Soundwaves a spelling program that proudly claims, “you don’t need to be a phonemic expert”. The third dimension relates to preservice and graduate teachers ability to teach, or their pedagogical knowledge about English and literacy. That is, if you don’t know how to teach spelling you can’t teach literacy; teachers who write are good teachers of literacy; teachers who use digital texts such as blogs and websites themselves are experts at using these in classrooms. There are also arguments in the literature about explicit teaching, direct instruction, inquiry based learning, whole language approaches, systemic phonics instruction, etc etc. A fourth dimension is initial teacher education program’s impact on the above dimensions. So how does the standard of entry to teacher education program impact on graduate teachers’ personal literacy abilities? Does the mode of delivery of teacher education (four year, graduate entry etc) have an impact on graduate teachers’ ability to teach literacy? How does the length and type of professional experience (school based, intense internships) influence preservice teachers’ knowledge of the curriculum? The content of initial teacher education programs is often hotly disputed as well. Do we teach phonemic awareness? Is there enough practice or too much theory? Who are the best people to teach initial teacher education? Teachers? Researchers? We have used these four dimensions to construct a survey of members of the teaching profession across Australia. We aim in this survey to answer the following research question, What are the expectations of the profession about the literacy capabilities of graduate teachers required to deliver high quality, intellectually demanding literacy education? We envisage the results will provide some empirical data that can replace the anecdotes embedded in current storylines about the capabilities of preservice and graduate teachers. After this survey our next step will be to discover what primary preservice teachers understand about their own personal literacy skills and their perceptions of their own abilities to teach literacy. Dr Eileen Honan is a Senior Lecturer in Literacy and English Education at The University of Queensland. Of course you have heard the argument that teachers do not teach phonics any more and worse, that many early career teachers do not even know how to teach phonics. So as a teacher of preservice teachers I will start by telling you for at least the past 15 years there has been overwhelming advice from probably hundreds of research projects and inquiries that a comprehensive approach to the teaching of reading should be taken. Rest assured this approach very emphatically includes the explicit teaching of phonics. However phonics are just part of the picture. that teachers provide systematic, direct and explicit phonics instruction so that children master the essential alphabetic code-breaking skills required for foundational reading proficiency. Equally, that teachers provide an integrated approach to reading that supports the development of oral language, vocabulary, grammar, reading fluency, comprehension and the literacies of new technologies. While the evidence indicates that some teaching strategies are more effective than others, no one approach of itself can address the complex nature of reading difficulties. An integrated approach requires that teachers have a thorough understanding of a range of effective strategies, as well as knowing when and why to apply them. Our teaching of literacy education to preservice teachers across Australia is based on this approach. to write persuasive texts, and narratives, as required by NAPLAN. to understand the grammatical structures of our language. to read between the lines so they can infer and interpret hidden meanings in texts. In the classrooms where we teach Australia’s future teachers we don’t waste time on such nonsense. Instead we spend our time teaching our preservice teachers to teach a range of students using a range of strategies that will work in today’s complex and demanding world. We teach them about critical literacy, the use of new technologies in literacy classrooms, the importance of grammar, the use of literature, multiple literacies and multimodality, and the importance of teachers doing classroom based research. Teachers today must be able to cope with a diverse range of abilities and experiences. Some are newly arrived in Australia. Not only do they not speak English, their parents have limited English, and they have spent so much time in refugee camps they cannot read and write in their own languages either. It is our job to provide teachers with the skills, knowledge and understanding to develop lessons that help all these children learn to read. This is not simple work, and cannot be achieved through a ‘magic bullet’ approach. Though many commercial ‘synthetic phonics’ programs (programs that offer a set way to teach phonics) promise exactly that these days. They are sold as quick fixes to teaching children to read. But mostly they ignore issues related to catering for a wide range of student abilities in one class and are often written by people who have never worked as trained teachers. I promise you we don’t encourage our nation’s future teachers to grab a program off the shelf in the hope it will work for them. We teach our preservice teachers the elements of ‘systematic, direct and explicit phonics instruction’, but we refuse to endorse, promote or market commercial programs. That said, many advocates of ‘synthetic phonics’ have links to particular programs that are sold to schools, teachers, and parents. For example, Dr Norman Swan often reports on problems with current approaches to literacy education in his health report forum on the ABC. He also endorses programs such as Phonica. One of the authors of a recent article in The Conversation pushing a synthetic phonics approach is also the developer of materials called spelfabet that she sells to teachers and parents to support this approach. This association was acknowledged by the publisher. We do this not only because we ourselves are passionately committed to high quality research, but because government accreditation processes for teacher education courses demand it of us. Put simply if we presented ideas packaged in a commercial program as the “right” way to teach reading our courses would not be ( and should not be) accredited as providing quality teacher education. Standards and Procedures reflect high expectations of initial teacher education. The stakeholders are united in their belief that the teaching profession and the Australian community deserve nothing less. There is an expectation that those entering teaching will be a diverse group of highly literate and numerate individuals with a professional platform from which to develop as high quality teachers. Our high expectations of the teaching profession stop us from selling commercial programs, or teaching teachers to believe there is one “right” way to teach reading. We believe our children deserve much more. Acknowledgement – The ideas in this paper were produced in consultation and discussion with members of the Literacy Educators Coalition. For further information about this group please go to their website at http://www.literacyeducators.com.au/. If we follow the recommendations of the recently released national curriculum review for teaching English we will all soon be pretending we live in 1955. Back then employment was at its peak. There were no unemployed. The White Australia Policy was still operating, and in schools children were learning how to read through working through books like the Queensland Readers. One of the two ‘subject area specialists’ appointed to provide expert advice to the reviewers is Professor Barry Spurr who holds a personal chair in Poetry and Poetics at The University of Sydney. I want to ignore the controversy over any offensive personal views he may have and look at the specific criticisms he had of the current Literature strand of the national English Curriculum. One of his recommendations was for a “greater emphasis on dealing with and introducing literature from the Western literary canon, especially poetry” and this has been, unfortunately, accepted by the reviewers. So what is this literature from the western literary canon that has been so neglected in the current curriculum? According to Professor Spurr English Literature studies must now begin in Foundation Year (with six year olds). It should begin with Middle English lyrics, including Chaucer, and continue to the present, with acknowledgement and experience also of ancient texts from the classical world and of the Bible. This kind of prescriptive approach to text selection is the focus of the so-called culture wars has previously been focused only on secondary schooling. The flavoursome vocabulary of the simplest Medieval lyrics and the inventive conceptions of traditional fairy stories, myths and legends (often with strong ethical and psychological messages, as well, as in Aesop’s fables) as well as the nonsense verse of writers like Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear can be savoured by the youngest pupils. From the early years of schooling, classics of Australian children’s literature must be strongly represented: Ethel Turner’s Seven Little Australians, The Silver Brumby series by Elyne Mitchell and Norman Lindsay’s Magic Pudding, along with texts that have a similar standing in world literature in English, like Rudyard Kipling’s Jungle Book, Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows and works by such as AA Milne and the brothers Grimm. There must be sustained teaching of the different kinds of poetry (for example), beginning in the early years with lyrical verse and emphasis on oral qualities of rhythm and rhyme, and poetry as a spoken form. Memorisation and recitation, developing pupils from reading poetry as text to assisting them to concentrate on the sounds and accents of poetry. Again just to remind you this is referring to the Prep years here – children of six years of age, who are being prepared for a future of technological innovation and a world of work that is at yet unimaginable. Some would argue that the focus on Professor Spurr’s response as a ‘subject specialist’ shifts our attention away from the Review’s final recommendations which I find unacceptable. I would argue however that his response provides us with an insight into the mindsets of the reviewers Donnelly and Wiltshire, who after all, chose him to be their font of wisdom on the topic of teaching English in primary and secondary years in Australia in 2014. In my opinion Professor Spurr seems to be lacking in some basic knowledge of schooling in those years. Educators today understand they are preparing students for a precarious and unknown future, where the jobs of the future are still in many ways unimaginable. In the 21st century Australia’s capacity to provide a high quality of life for all will depend on the ability to compete in the global economy on knowledge and innovation. This quote is from the Melbourne Declaration and it assumes that a curriculum will be developed for an education system where everyone agrees that the way forward for our nation is to think of the future. So how does an English curriculum help teachers prepare students for this exciting unknown, a future of unimagined possibilities? Many literacy and English educators, and those of us who prepare the future teachers of English and literacy, believe that an English curriculum needs to balance the traditions of the past with the texts of the present in order to help our students explain and prepare for an unknown future. While the current English curriculum is not perfect, there are a couple of groundbreaking and innovative features that seem to have become lost in the tired fights about phonics and skills and ideological warfare. One of these is the intertwining of three strands of content. So students from Foundation Year right through to Year 10 learn how to use the English Language at the word and sentence level, while at the same time they learn how to write and read whole texts and practice their Literacy skills, and also at the same time engage with the depth and breadth of quality Literature available to them in Australia in 2014. Yes it is complex and difficult work, and yes many teachers feel overburdened and confused about the decisions that have to be made to make this curriculum work. But does that mean we abandon it? Do we have to go back in time and pretend that the reality of the 21st century and the impact of global economic and social policies are not going to affect the children of our future? – the development of vernacular literacy practices in Papua New Guinea and other nations in the Pacific Island region; – the development of new rhizomatic methodologies in educational research. George Orwell wrote in 1984, “Doublethink means the power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them.” We are in a remarkable policy moment in Australia, where the federal government is playing a strange, schizophrenic pantomime with Christopher Pyne perfectly cast in the role as education ‘reformer’. It wouldn’t be too fanciful to make comparisons between Orwell’s dystopic vision of a society where history and the present are continuously re-shaped for political expediency and our own current political environment. It seems that each new week brings another ideology-driven announcement that relies on a blind faith in the logic of the market, while simultaneously ignoring the large body of education research. The construction of this schizoid approach to education of course begins with the double backflip followed by a complete disappearing act on the Gonski school funding reforms. Despite going to the election on a unity ticket, the government has managed to not only reverse its commitment to an equitable school funding model but also to put pressure on the states to find the money themselves from 2017, as part of a broader divestment agenda. A particularly striking example of doublethink came out in May’s budget, where Pyne announced a deregulation agenda for the higher education sector. He claimed that by removing the cap on fees, it will make studying more affordable and accessible for disadvantaged students because market competition will drive fees down. Never mind that, alongside this, federal government funding of student fees will be reduced and the cost of taking out a loan substantially increased. It was unsurprising that Universities Australia and several individual universities responded with evidence to show that, in fact, students would be much worse off under the proposed changes. A further budget doublethink moment came from the government continuing to reduce investment in research through the ARC, NHMRC and CSIRO, while making grandiose claims about curing cancer from a new medical endowment fund that would be paid for by a $7 GP co-payment. Again, it was of little surprise when respondents pointed out that those who would be hardest hit were those already most disadvantaged in the community, while calling into question the veracity of the supposedly $20 billion medical endowment fund. As most fledgling governments do, there are a number of reviews underway. Of interest to educators are the review of the Australian Curriculum and the review of pre-service teacher education. In particular, the choice of Kevin Donnelly to lead the Australian Curriculum review puts a cloud of doubt over the whole exercise, turning it into a farce. Donnelly has long been a heavily vocal detractor of the curriculum and, as a conservative commentator, is most certainly not the un-biased reviewer that he claims to be. Further, the extraordinarily short timeframe for the review from call for submissions to providing the report to the government (less than 6 months), combined with Pyne’s claims that any changes would be ready for the start of the 2015 school year, make a mockery of the long, consultative and critically-engaged process undertaken in the development of the Australian Curriculum. The combined announcements of the appointment of John Fleming to the AITSL board and the expansion of the Cape York Direct Instruction program provide us with some indication of where Mr Pyne sees the future for education in Australia. The $22 million expansion of the Cape York Direct Instruction program to other Indigenous schools seems a complete mockery of the government’s commitment to closing the gap when held against the $534 million reduction in funding to Indigenous health and education programs. Many early years learning centres have no guarantee of continued funding beyond this year, yet a top-down, one-size-fits-all, interventionist approach to the teaching of reading English will be forced onto children across the country. There are multiple concerns with the Direct Instruction approach (see Alan Luke’s post from 7 July) which covers these), particularly in the long-term effects of the program. One worrying concern is that students who learn to read through DI might be very capable at decoding strategies such as ‘sounding out’ words but lack the contextual and semantic knowledge that would help them to understand what they are reading. One doesn’t need a crystal ball to predict where this is all going. Pyne is on the record claiming that he supports a back-to-the-basics approach to school. Direct Instruction is one part of that picture, where teachers stand out the front of the classroom and lecture students from a pre-scripted program. Students sit quietly in nice straight rows and comply with the instructions to perform reading and writing skill drilling. Never mind that this goes against research that has shown, time and again, that students learn best when they are highly engaged, deeply involved and in control of their own inquiries. Of course this approach to teaching fits in nicely with the Teach for Australia programme which has also had a $22million increase in its funding. The premise of this programme along with its counterparts in the USA and elsewhere is that teachers don’t require any pedagogical knowledge and that this lack of pedagogical knowledge and skills can be filled through supplying these teachers with pre-prepared packages of materials. The deep inherent contradictions in these moves by this government are summed up in the introduction to their Studentsfirst website where the first sentence about “teacher quality” is that “the first step to achieving a quality education, which is so critical for the future of young Australians and our nation, is to lift the quality, professionalisation and status of the teaching profession”. There is no evidence that this government has done anything to take this first step: indeed the doublethink illustrated here is that they have done everything they can do to undermine the status of the profession. The author would like to thank Dr Stewart Riddle for his thoughtful contributions to this blog post.

No doubt about it, Firefox 4 is a worthy competitor to other browsers out today. Mozilla still appears to be in partial catch-up mode, though. A story by ConceivablyTech suggests the next version of Firefox, due on June 29, will incorporate several features that premiered in Chrome and Internet Explorer 9 not so long ago. Among the Chrome hand-me-downs: a "new tab" page, an integrated PDF viewer, and the ability to select multiple tabs at once, which has reportedly cropped up in nightly builds of the Google browser. ConceivablyTech also says Mozilla will support "taskbar web apps," which sound not unlike an IE9 feature that lets you pin sites to the Windows 7 taskbar. Firefox 5 might not be all about playing catch-up, though. Word is that Mozilla also has plans for more original changes and additions: user interface tweaks, a file upload indicator, a "permanent Home app tab," a more elaborate system to manage site log-in details, and tight integration with social networking sites, allowing users to share links with their friends on, say, Facebook or StumbleUpon directly from the browser interface. That sounds like quite an ambitious roster of additions for a release due in only three months—especially given how long Mozilla took to get Firefox 4 out the door. Even Google, which has been following a breakneck-paced release schedule for some time now, tends to add major new features relatively slowly.

In an open night of football, Arsenal beat Napoli 2-0 in their Europa League quarter-final. Goals from Aaron Ramsey and Lucas Torreira have given Arsenal a good lead to take to the second leg, beating Napoli 2-0 at the Emirates this evening. Unai Emery welcomed back Laurent Koscielny and Lucas Torreira to his starting line-up, and also recalled Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the attack. The Gunners started brightly, forcing a couple of early corners. Ramsey saw a shot blocked after a pull back from Kolasinac, then Maitland-Niles’ follow up shot was blocked too. Koscielny had defend a low cross smartly but in the 15th minute we were ahead. Arsenal worked it from inside their own half, Ozil to Ramsey and back to Ozil, to Lacazette, he found Maitland-Niles in the box who laid it off to the Welshman who finished superbly with his right foot. 1-0.

Property “flipping” earned a bad reputation is some areas such as Las Vegas, when speculators descended on the Valley a few short years ago, and bought houses at prevailing rates and immediately resold for much higher prices as the demand for housing remained strong. The practice soon resulted in the rapid escalation of residential housing market prices, sending them soaring sky-high. However, there is nothing wrong or illegal about flipping, except in fraudulent cases, when an unethical flipper in collusion with an equally unethical appraiser conspires to artificially inflate the market value of a property. When the flipping market was strong, due to the demand for housing, flippers were for the most part selling homes in ready to move in condition. These were homes that received multiple offers as soon as they were put up for sale. In today’s market flipping has become a greater gamble, since homes in good condition are selling at market price, with not much-if any- profit margin left for the flipper due to housing prices continuing a slow but steady downward spiral. In fact, because of the unpredictability of today’s housing market, the flipper may buy a house today that will have lost value by tomorrow. Additionally, if the home is in need of repair, depending upon the extent of the repairs and the time and expense involved, the flipper might be better off holding and renting until the market trends become more favorable. If that strategy is followed the flipper will then be a long-term “investor” and landlord as well. The flipper who converts to a long-term investor is aware that many properties on the market today are undervalued, and healthy profits will be had in the near – or possibly distant – future, when demand is greater than supply. Certainly, the cost of buying and repairing a property, the time required to find a tenant, as well as overhead costs as compared to rental income must be considered by the careful flipper/investor before making a commitment to purchase. Good timing is a very important factor in any real estate investment, but even more so for the investor who specializes in flipping. How much risk is the flipper willing to take? Is the flipper confident in his/her ability to read and forecast market trends? Is the flipper willing to become a temporary landlord? Another factor to consider, is that a home that seems suitable for flipping may not be as suitable as a rental property for one reason or another. Another most important consideration in any real estate investment is the exit factor. An exit strategy must be considered before purchasing any property. Since no one can predict the future, market trends can be evaluated intelligently, but it all still amounts to guesswork. Investors need to have exit plans A, B and C in order to be able to adapt and adjust to any changes and variations in housing supply and demand, as well as the kind of properties that will be most in demand now and in the future.

A look at using the Apple's virtual assistant on the Mac. Siri is the marquee feature in Apple’s next operating system for the Mac, macOS Sierra. Yes, Siri: Apple’s voice interface that was introduced nearly five years ago on the iPhone (and was a stand-alone iOS app before the company was acquired by Apple). If you use Siri often on your iOS device, then you’ll find Siri on the Mac to be quite similar. But since the Mac experience involves file management, you’ll notice that Siri can be a handy tool for finding, opening, and organizing files. When you install macOS Sierra, the installer will ask if you want to enable Siri. If you don’t want to enable Siri at installation, you can activate it later in the System Preferences. You can activate Siri during the macOS Sierra installation. When the Sierra installation is done, you’ll find Siri icons in two locations: In the Dock, and in your menu bar. By default, Siri’s Dock icon sits next to the Finder icon on the far left side. You can move the Siri icon in the Dock by dragging it. Up in your menu bar, you’ll see a color Siri icon next to the Notifications icon on the far right. ...and on the menu bar. You can launch Siri by click on either of these icons. You can also set a keyboard shortcut in the Siri System Preferences. The default option to activate Siri by keyboard is to hold down the Command and Space keys at the same time. There isn’t a way to set a Trackpad gesture to launch Siri. One thing that I often do with my iPhone is that I inadvertently launch Siri. This mostly happens when I am pulling my iPhone out of my pocket—my finger grabs a hold of the Home button and Siri launches. Inadvertently launching Siri isn’t as easy (for me) on the Mac, especially with the default Command-Space hold down, though I could see it happening if you mistype a custom keyboard combination. If it does happen, you can deactivate Siri by pressing the Esc key. On iOS, you can activate Siri by saying “Hey Siri.” Vocal activation isn’t available in the Siri system preference in the Sierra, but there is a workaround. Here’s how it’s done. If you use the VoiceOver and Switch Control accessibility features on the Mac, Apple says that Siri will work with those features. Siri settings in macOS Sierra. I’ll dive more into Siri’s settings in a bit. Let’s go into what you came here for: Siri for macOS in action. Once you launch Siri through the Dock or menu bar icon, or by a keyboard shortcut, a Siri window appears in the upper right corner of the screen, along with the familiar two-beep Siri tone. If you don’t have an internet connection, Siri won’t work. Since most people are used to using Siri on iOS, your first inclination is to use Siri for Mac as you would on your iPhone. For example, you might use Siri to look up showtimes at nearby movie theaters. For upcoming events, you can take the Siri results and pin them to Notification Center. Siri for Mac is appealing as a tool for managing files. One of the Siri demos shown at WWDC was the ability to show file based on a given criteria. It worked for me, even with my files being saved to Dropbox. You can also use Siri to make some changes in System Preferences. Siri is suited for settings you’d adjust on a frequent basis, like changing the sound volume or adjusting the screen brightness. I was able to turn Bluetooth on and off, but when I asked Siri to “Activate FileVault in System Preferences,” it said it couldn’t do it. Siri on the Mac, is, well, still Siri. It still has trouble understanding me sometimes. Maybe it’s the way I talk, I dunno. But I tried several times to have Siri tell me when the Copa América Centenario championship game will be played, and this is what I got. Siri overall still needs improving in terms of understanding vocal commands and finding relevant results. But Siri for macOS will be a helpful UI tool. Back to Siri’s settings to cover the other adjustments you can make. Language: The default is English, but you can change it to another language. Voice: Everyone is familiar with the female American Siri voice, but if you use English, you can change it to a male American voice, a male of female British or Australian voice, or a female Irish or South African voices. Voice Feedback: With this setting on, Siri will always provide a voice response to your query. Mic input: If you have external microphones, you can use this setting to select it. If you click About Siri and Privacy, you get the following window.

Epic Games just completed giving out $5 million in grants to developers. And now it’s going to get started again with a $100 million fund dubbed Epic MegaGrants. These funds will be awarded to developers with no strings attached, said Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games, in an interview with GamesBeat. The V-bucks thing was Sweeney’s joke. The company will give out cash, and you can thank the success of Fortnite for the largesse, as Sweeney said this is Epic’s way of paying back the community. Epic revealed the fund publicly at its “State of Unreal” opening session at GDC 2019. The money will go toward assisting game developers, media and entertainment creators, enterprise professionals, students, educators, and tools developers doing outstanding work with Unreal Engine or enhancing open-source capabilities for the 3D graphics community. Epic MegaGrants marks an evolution from Epic’s Unreal Dev Grants program, a $5 million fund initially launched in 2015, which awarded its final grants earlier this week. Epic MegaGrants awards range from $5,000 to $500,000 and cover a variety of endeavors to further ignite creativity and technological advancement within the 3D graphics community. All grant recipients will continue to own their intellectual property and will be free to publish however they wish. Education: Students and educators can earn funding for Unreal Engine research, curriculum, student projects, and university programs. Grants will also be given to schools implementing Unreal Engine into classrooms and programs. Tools and open-source development:Teams and individuals can submit an application for a new tool, plans to port existing tools to UE4, or for creating tools that integrate existing software with UE4. Applications can also be submitted for new open-source tools (including tools that provide interoperability) or any enhancement for existing open-source projects related to 3D graphics.

1) Only offer advice that is asked for in areas that you are familiar with. Job seekers attract unsolicited career advice like bees to pollen. With advice coming at them from every which way, much of it is often repetitive or more damaging than helpful. Unless you are both seeking jobs in the same field, refrain from giving advice that may only apply in your case. Instead, when they do ask you for some help provide some pointers in terms of resources they can turn to for the information they're looking for. As a friend, it's understandable that you want to play a part in his success. The pressure of finding a job and doing well in interviews is high enough as you can imagine so the support you both offer one another is meant to ease stress of being unemployed, not add to it. If he doesn't keep you updated on how his search is going, even if you wish he would, leave it up to him to share what he's comfortable with. 3) It's nothing personal if your advice isn't taken. In reality, no one ever takes every piece of advice given to them. We all take the advice and insight given to us and use it form our own decisions. If you're prone to taking things personally, it might help you thicken your skin, an important trait to have in a job search. A job search is the best situation to have a "friends-with-benefits" relationship, the benefits being access to the other's connections. Having the advantage of someone else's network at allows yours to be twice the size with less amount of work. Going anywhere alone where you don't know anyone is usually more dreadful than exciting at first. Eventually everyone loosens up once they start chatting but it's always easier to get the conversation going when you've got a wing man. You and your friend will more than likely end up going to more networking events together than either of you would have alone. In a job search, the candidate is usually the one who is graded on his qualifications for the position. Companies are also being put under the microscope, however, and being graded on how good of an employer they are to work for. Companies are competing similar to job candidates for the top spot on lists of best employers. Getting their names on these lists boosts their notoriety and gets them widespread attention. 1) High numbers in hiring. A company with a track record for hiring often is a telltale sign that business is booming. But it can also be a sign that people are often coming and going. If the positions they are hiring for are new ones then it shows that the company is growing. If, on the other hand, they have had the same position open for a long time, this is a sign of high turnover which could be a warning sign that the company has difficulty holding onto its employees. 2) Talk with those who know. Current employees are the best people to turn to for insight. Employees usually don't have an agenda that would motivate them to sugar coat things whereas a hiring manager may be under pressure to get the position filled. Most employees will tell it like it really is, but be wary of employees who may feel that you pose a threat to their job security. Those are the ones who may have an agenda to keep you from wanting to work there. It's always a good idea to get as much information from as many different resources as you can but ultimately it's up to your better judgement to decide whether you want to work somewhere. 3) Check Better Business Bureau ratings. The BBB is a great resource for seeing what the general consensus is for a company. Typically, a company that cares a lot about its customers will also show the same amount of concern for its employees. A low rating may reflect a tough place to work at. Don't only rely on the BBB ratings to shape your view of a company. A company may have one or two bad ratings but those may also be the only ones. A company where good ratings are hard to find is one to be cautious of. Do your research and see what's being said from various sources. 4) Get a customer's perspective. To get a 360 experience of the company, try them on for size as customer before you apply. There's a reason why customers are quick to give feedback for bad service experiences while they tend to only rave about outstanding customer service. People form their opinions--which they are more than eager to make--from the treatment they are given from the employees so it's important that they are happy from beginning to end. Throughout the experience, ask yourself if what they are doing is something you want to be a part of and feel like you can make a positive contribution to. Even though you are the one who is being considered for job, keep in mind that you're also supposed to be considering them as a place to work. Taking a job just because it is offered to you without considering whether it's the right kind of place for you will more than likely result in an unsatisfactory outcome. Employers expect candidates to have questions so don't feel out of place when asking the questions that matter to you. Good employers are willing to be as transparent. Those who seem to get uncomfortable from your questions may be questionable themselves.

Today, more than 30 million people in the United States wear Contact Lenses in order to see clearly. Contacts offer patients the benefit of clear vision without the restrictions that eyeglasses often create. Contact Lenses are a very popular method for correcting common vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia. They can also correct vision problems associated with the Cornea. No matter which type of Contact Lenses you need, the doctors at The Eye Center are happy to offer expert consultation. Patients often find that Contacts Lenses better suit their needs and are more convenient than wearing glasses. If you lead an active lifestyle, wearing Contact Lenses makes it easier to enjoy your favorite activities. Patients may also be bothered by the appearance of their eyes and facial features behind glasses, as well as the reflections and glare glasses can cause. This, in addition to the limited peripheral vision of glasses, motivates a number of people to seek Contact Lens correction. The Eye Center Optometrists are happy to offer thorough eye examinations, Contact Lens evaluations, as well as Contact Lens fittings. If you, a family member or friend, would like to schedule a contact lens exam or fitting, please call The Eye Center in Denver, Colorado at 303-777-5455.

Re-releasing a game from 2008 on the Nintendo Switch may not seem like a recipe for success, but it actually is if that game is De Blob, one of the coolest 3D puzzle platformers around. Now paired with the friendly Switch interface, gamers will be painting the town red, blue, green and everything else all over again. Michael’s back with a game that is pretty obscure for this week’s Retro Game Friday. It’s Soulcalibur Legends!

The Governor asked Richard McLellan, Mary Kay Shields and Peter Ruddell to propose a new Michigan Public Education Finance Act to replace the existing School Aid Act of 1979 incorporating the policies articulated in the Governor’s Special Message on Education issued April 27, 2011. The new Michigan Public Education Finance Act of 2013 is aimed at creating a public education funding system that allows a student to learn “Any Time, Any Place, Any Way and Any Pace,” and create the path toward more robust performance-based funding. Below are five major concepts included in the draft. 1. Removal of District “Ownership” of a Student. A student will be allowed to take a course, multiple courses or the student’s entire bundled education package from any public education district in the state. A local school district will maintain its ability to determine whether to participate in open enrollment. 2. Creation of Online Learning Options with Performance Funding. Technology is changing the delivery of instruction to students. A student will be allowed to access instruction from across the state using advancing technology. The district providing the online course will immediately receive public funding, based on performance measures. Again, a district will not limit a student’s choices. 3. Funding will truly follow the Student. Under the current model, a school receives 90% of its state general education funding based on where a student sits on the first Wednesday in October. We create a dynamic system, where the funding will actually follow the student. 15 other states are already using the Average Daily Membership method for allocating funds. 5. Early Graduation Scholarships. We are creating an incentive for students – who are ready – to graduate early. $2,500 will be available for each semester a student graduates early. Let’s help those students who are ready to graduate. Click here to download the draft of the bill. Click here to read Richard McLellan’s memo to Governor Snyder’s education team.

In the recent Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision in the workers' compensation case of Phoenixville Hospital v. W.C.A.B. (Shoap), ___ A.3d ___, 2013 WL 6132096 (Pa. Nov. 21, 2013), the court addressed the issue of whether jobs should be considered to be available to an employee for purposes of granting a modification of the employee’s compensation benefits pursuant to Section 306(b) when the employee applied to each position listed in a labor market survey and received no offers of employment. Notably, in its decision the Supreme Court cited several times to an article by local Scranton Plaintiff’s Attorney Michael J. Foley of the Foley Law Firm entitled Funded Employment and Vocational Rehabilitation Shams Affecting Injured Workers, 2 Ann.2000 ATLA–CLE 2845 (2000). Now that's pretty impressive in my book. Here is a LINK to the Supreme Court's Opinion in Phoenixville Hospital.

Anyone in the IT field most certainly has heard of “Citrix,” but unless you have firsthand experience with a Citrix system, it’s not technology that the mass majority of IT resources may necessarily be familiar with. Citrix was founded in 1989 by a group of ex-IBM employees that wanted to capitalize on the multiuser environment present in UNIX mainframe technologies. The team initially used current OS/2 technology as the basis for their software; however, it quickly became apparent that OS/2 had a limited shelf life. With this in mind, Citrix transitioned their code to a Novel/DOS technology base, which became a huge success. With the popularity of this multiuser Novel software, Citrix went public and the software later matured into WinView and finally to WinFrame after Microsoft first licensed the technology for the NT operating system. Today, Citrix’s core technological offering is called XenApp, which has transformed over the years into a very mature and elegant software suite that is a hallmark of SaaS (software as a service) solutions. In a nutshell, XenApp allows for a hosted desktop experience in a remote datacenter (or large scale customer environment) that is simple from a user standpoint, and provides excellent economy of scale from an infrastructure standpoint. Be it a public or private cloud, remote datacenter colocation, or a small Wintel server environment for developers, XenApp refines the Microsoft Terminal Services experience. The solution allows server farms to scale easily and economically with less administrative overhead than comparable native terminal server environments. Citrix also has a virtualization hypervisor, as well as a line of load balancer appliances. The heart of any XenApp deployment includes a license server, web interface server, database instance, and the actual XenApp multiuser servers. Properly built Windows Server 2008R2 servers with 8GB of RAM can accommodate about 45 users per server. Utilizing a hypervisor to virtualize the XenApp servers can equate to about 500 users per 96GB hardware chassis. It is important to note that with any terminal server implementation (XenApp or otherwise) it’s better to ‘scale out’ with more servers than to ‘scale up’ to form fewer monolithic multiuser hosts. There is a point of diminishing returns as additional memory and processors are added and the concurrent user count is no longer linear at certain levels. Additionally, this basic terminal server dogma allows N+1 configuration with relative ease. One of the important technical points of Citrix is that it works in conjunction with Microsoft Terminal Services. In fact, before an engineer can start the base install of XenApp, the RDC (Remote Desktop Connection) role needs to be present on the servers. Citrix uses a proprietary ICA (Independent Computing Architecture) protocol for connections between the client and the hosted server. ICA protocol offers powerful features such as SpeedScreen, HDX, and various others in sundry presentation-level technologies, as well as off-line sessions, roaming technologies, and streaming application options. Distilled down, this allows a LAN experience over WAN connections by sending only the images of the windows, printers, and applications to the client. This is in stark contrast with native terminal services technology where the user is presented with an entire desktop of the hosted server using little to no optimizations. All client ICA connections are handled via a web interface server. Options are scalable and modular and can include an https-only option called Secure Gateway to further simplify firewall and proxy rule sets. Additionally the Windows web server role can be completely replaced by one of the aforementioned hardened Citrix web appliances. Legacy administrators will be pleased to know that Program Neighborhood is end of life and no longer able to be used with XenApp farms. Less bandwidth is needed than a similar RDC connection. User experience for the same amount of bandwidth is greatly improved. Less memory per user session on the XenApp server. This equates to more bodies-in-seats for a given hardware platform. Intelligent farm load balancing. Metrics range from basic user count all the way to XenApp aware OS performance counters. Intelligent fault tolerance within the farm. Servers can be gracefully removed from service without the idiosyncrasies that are present in native RDC farms. Citrix XenApp is one of DP Solutions’ core competencies, and is used extensively throughout our hosted and managed services portfolio. It often negates the requirement of complex VPN’s, extended Active Directory domains, and other complicated Windows infrastructure configurations to make a hosted platform in the cloud well within reach of any size customer.

This weekend marked a very special milestone on the Dragonfish Path, one worthy of awakening the sleeping Dragonfish Blog. I achieved an major goal for the year by recording an oral history interview with my grandmother before our family Christmas gathering. Part of understanding where I come from is understanding who I come from – and I know my mom’s mom (known as “Ba” in Vietnamese) is full of stories that I’ve never heard. A few months ago, I sent my grandmother a list of nearly 50 questions, everything from what toys and foods she liked as a child, to how the conflicts in Vietnam affected her life. In a more perfect universe, I would have been able to understand and speak Vietnamese well enough to conduct the interview myself. But in this case, the importance of getting the story surmounted my language hangups and I enlisted the help of my mom as an interviewer. Rather than interrupting their flow to get things translated, I just sat back to bask in the interaction of these two important women in my life, content that I could pick out enough words to know which question they were on, and requesting more elaboration at some points. The quality of the video is far from professional as I futzed over the background and lighting. Most important was trying to make sure Ba was comfortable, and it seemed most fitting to shoot the video at her kitchen table. And at the end of the day, the main thing is that we captured her story (or at least the parts that she was able to tell in our hour-and-a-half recording session). When I first sent her the questions, Ba had told my mom and aunt she wasn’t sure who would want to listen to her stories. But I think we convinced her how much this would mean to her children and grandchildren, and at the end of the interview, she said she was happy to be able to share something with us in this way. I hope to work with my mom on the translation and try to stitch it together with video I collected on our family trip to Vietnam with Ba earlier this year. With any luck, I may have something to show for it by the time Ba turns 90 next September…At any rate, the dream of the Dragonfish Path is still alive, and I hope to keep moving forward on it step by step. One last note on that illustrates the intricacies of the Vietnamese language. There are no simple words for “I” or “you.” Everything is contextual (which means just starting a conversation with someone is rife with pitfalls for the beginning language learner). Before we started the interview, my grandma asked how she should refer to herself. We decided that the more formal “toi” was too impersonal, and so she referred to herself as the more familiar “me” or “mom,” since she was talking to her daughter, my mom. Today I put on my scientist hat for a decidedly unglamorous task. I spent a number of hours poring over data sheets and referencing them with a database, making changes on the computer where our intern had noted discrepancies between the written and the typed data. There is nothing like tedium to drive you to reflection. I admit, I can appreciate my share of mindless, repetitive tasks. You can’t beat ‘em for that satisfying feeling of productivity. What else could have powered me through dissecting 1,000+ fish stomachs for my master’s thesis? Even data checking itself is a somewhat comforting and familiar zone, in which I also spent many an hour of grad school. But sometimes, now as then, this kind of work makes it hard for me to keep my eye on the end goal. What’s the point?, I wonder. What’s the value in how I spent my day? How is this work meaningful? These data I’m wading through are from the village fishing survey project that I helped organize last fall – which has been one of the most challenging and rewarding projects I’ve worked on at FISHBIO so far (and which I have yet to write about…). And if I still want to call myself a scientist, I can’t just drop in for all of the “fun” parts of doing research. It can’t all be just hanging out with the fishers, holding workshops, going out on boats, taking pictures of pretty fish, and drinking Beer Lao – as much as I’d like it to be. (I once told someone that my dream of being a science writer was to tag along for all of the hands-on field science, then play with fun ways to communicate it while the scientists wrestled with analyzing the data. “That’s cheating!” he said. Is it?) But I don’t want to just pay lip service to this science, I want to be able to say I really understand it – and mean it. So I have to be willing to dive into the frustrating minutiae of the nitty gritty. It’s part of piecing together a bigger picture that will only be as accurate as every pixel that makes it up – every fish length, every net size, every fishing time. So now that means trying to make sense of all of the information we asked ten fishermen to collect for three months – and at the most basic starting point, it means making sure we’ve cataloged all of that data as accurately as possible. I’m learning small things along the way: how to decipher Lao handwriting, how to translate the difference between “didn’t catch fish” and “didn’t go fishing,” understanding how fishermen measure the height of their nets in the number of mesh holes, not in meters. It’s easy to get impatient – how is this leading me toward my goal, down my dragon fish path? I find myself wanting the pay-off now – I want to be an expert, a credible source of information, I want to be making a real difference in conservation and help people understand and care about this complex and fascinating setting that I’m just learning to understand myself. Staring down a few massive binders of datasheets sure forces you to take the long view. I’m trying to learn as much as I can in a new environment, which takes time. I’m building my confidence, which comes with experience, which takes time. I’m still on the path. But I have to pay my dues, and I have to earn it. Today my Lao coworker was leafing through his dog-eared copy of “Illustrated American Idioms” from 1982 – a gem I found buried in the closet yesterday while trying to make an inventory of our books. It’s quite the slice of American culture – illustrated in the style of ClipArt. Someone has turned it into a coloring book, probably before Sinsamout came to own it. He flipped to the phrase “big fish in a small pond” and asked me what it meant. I said it’s like feeling important in your small village, then coming to the big city, being surrounded by lots of accomplished people, and realizing you don’t really know very much. Naturally, this also introduced the concept of a “small fish in a big pond.” Actually, the book listed the phrase as “big frog in a small pond,” which I had never heard of – so we both learned something. Well, you can disregard the report in my previous post of this season’s cooler temperatures. After I experienced one day of refreshingly chilly weather, the heat has flipped back on and stayed there. People are remarking that it’s turned warmer earlier than usual this year. “You’ll learn to love an air conditioner,” one friend said. One of the traditions of Lao New Year that I’m looking forward to experiencing next month is people relieving the oppressive heat of April by throwing water on each other. I’ve heard more than one proposition that maybe this practice ought to start a month early this year. I am still fascinated by the low water level of the Mekong River in the dry season. One product of this recession is I’ve noticed people tending gardens on the exposed land along the river. These riverside gardens are an important seasonal component of Lao culture that cycles with the river. When the water level is high during the rainy season, fishing is in full swing. When the river drops, people plant gardens on the fertile riverbank soil. My FISHBIO colleagues have taken photos of riverside gardens in Lao villages – it was interesting to see some for myself right in the city of Vientiane. Farming is a very important part of life in Laos, and farming and fishing often go hand in hand. It seems like a lot of people are part farmer, part fisher, depending on the season. Rice is the primary crop in Laos, and other important crops include corn, sugar cane, sweet potatoes, soybeans, and various fruits and vegetables. Coffee is also grown in the southern part of the country. At the organic farmer’s market (where I think it’s more likely to find crops grown locally rather than imported) I’ve seen bananas and many vegetables and herbs, including cucumbers, pumpkins, okra, and leafy greens. Despite the lack of water, people are still fishing in the cut-off side channels, searching for whatever hapless fish are trapped in what essentially amount to large puddles. I can only guess as to their success. The Mekong is known for its highly variable water flow between the rainy and dry seasons, so I shouldn’t be so surprised by its contraction. But seeing so much dry land is a sight I haven’t quite gotten used to. Coupled with the heat and the low water is the dust. If it seems dusty here in the capital, I can only imagine how it must be in the villages, with a lack of paved roads and an abundance of red dirt. Lots of plants and trees here look like they’ve received a dusting of cinnamon. When I asked a friend about the haziness of the sky, she thought it was a result of the dust ­– I suppose that’s a bit more comforting than my smog hypothesis, though my guess is the true cause is probably a mix of both. Leaving a drought-afflicted state to land in another country’s dry season heightens my constant thirst has me craving rain. I’m thankful to hear California is finally receiving some much-needed rain and snow back home. I’m increasingly reminded how precious water is – especially when you have to drink it from a bottle. But more on that later. After nearly four months in Laos, then less than three months at home in California, I’ve just arrived back in Vientiane – and am navigating an interesting sensation where my surroundings are both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. This trip isn’t filled with the same novelty of my last one, when everything around me was new. But after hopscotching on to Laos after a vacation in the Philippines, coming back feels decidedly surreal, like it hasn’t quite sunk in yet that I’m here. Much is like I remember, some is not. Part of the change is that I’m experiencing Laos in a new season. My previous trips have been in late summer and fall, and now it’s winter. It’s odd to feel like I could use another layer of clothing or a blanket on the bed – although the temperature flipflops from hot to cold from day to day. I’ve missed the legitimately cold weather of January, and I’ve heard people refer to February as spring, since April brings the scorching feeling of summer. I’ll get to feel it for myself, since I’m planning to stay until mid April to experience Lao New Year. There’s a haziness in the air, and the color looks bleached out of the sky along the horizon – could be that the lack of rain means there’s nothing to wash the city smog away. In perhaps the biggest change, I was stunned to see the water level of the Mekong River so low. People were walking and playing soccer on wide expanses of sand that I remember being covered with water, and fishing platforms stand high and dry among clumps of exposed vegetation. I felt like it would be nearly possible to walk across to Thailand. It is the dry season, after all ­– although my coworker thinks that the river is lower now than it used to be, due to dams and water diversions upstream. There are other changes, too: work at the construction site next door to my office grinds on, relentlessly grating and rumbling, as a massive concrete structure rises. Neighborhood puppies have grown into shaggy dogs, some trees have lost their leaves, while others bloom with bright orange flowers I’ve never seen before. But other things are familiar and the same – the restaurants, the night market, the aerobics class by the river. It’s comforting that I’ve built up a handful of go-to places and favorite spots. I hope these will help me get back into my routine, while I’ll open myself up to new experiences and learning in this latest season. Laos is undeniably a Buddhist country, as evidenced by the abundance of golden Buddha statues, the monks draped in bright orange robes, and ornate red and gold temples on nearly every corner. But before they were Buddhist, Lao people were, and still are, predominantly animist. As I’ve had it explained to me, animism is essentially the belief that everything has a spirit – from people, to animals, to rivers and mountains and trees. I think that’s a pretty admirable way to look at the world, especially if it makes you more in tune and appreciative of your surroundings. Of course, at its extreme, this philosophy can foster intense superstition, and I’ve heard that Lao people may be reluctant to walk around at night for fear of spirits or ghosts. This belief system is also at the root of the heartbreaking clash of cultures in the book The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down. From reading that book, I thought animism was limited to the Hmong culture, but elements of it are quite widespread in mainstream Lao society. The most obvious evidence of this are the little houses seen outside almost every Lao business or residence. At first I thought these little altars were a Buddhist tradition. I wasn’t quite sure how to describe them – an altar? A shrine? The most fitting term I finally came across is “spirit house.” These structures are basically a place to make offerings to the spirit of your home or workplace – essentially, trying to appease it and keep it happy so it doesn’t wreak havoc on your life and fortunes. My office has a spirit house of its own, and when I finally noticed it, it was clear that it needed some TLC. One hot afternoon, I scrubbed down the moss and mildew – a bit of a delicate operation, since the flaking paint was readily coming off in the process. Once we got it tided up and picked up the garbage that had accumulated around it, Jacque and I made a few small offerings of candles, incense, and fruit to our spirit house. I’ve also seen flowers, drinks, and cigarettes as common offerings. It turns out we spruced up our spirit house just in time. A few days later, September 4, turned out to be a festival called Boun Hor Khao Padubdin. It seems to be something like “day of the dead.” Sinsamout told us that people would go to the temples early in the morning and make offerings to appease the spirits of the dead who don’t have anyone to pray for them. Vendors sell little offering “care packages” especially for the occasion, wrapped in banana leaves. The banana leaf packets contain nine offerings, including several types of fruit and a cigarette… The local temples had strung up extra flags in preparation for the holiday. A cat enjoying the offerings. Jacuqe and I woke up around 5:30 am that day in hopes of seeing something interesting in the morning. But the dark streets were quiet. We came across a few candles burning on the ground alongside offerings at the side of one temple – and a cat who seemed quite content eating the offerings placed at his level. (A spirit incarnate, maybe?) There were more offerings clustered outside the temple gates, little boats with candles flickering beside them. Later that day, Sinsamout brought flowers for our office spirit house and some delicious offerings his mom had made for the occasion – sweet sticky rice and bananas wrapped in banana leaves. Luckily, we got to sample them after they had been offered! Offerings for our spirit house. As evening rolled around, Jacque and I heard a steady drumming and chanting coming from one of the temples down the road. We wandered over just in time to witness a beautiful sight – monks finishing a candlelit procession around the temple, with dozens of community members following behind. Sinsamout later told us they walk around the temple three times. People then took their candles to various parts of the temple grounds, setting them and other offerings next to trees and stupas. Everyone then crowded into the temple where the monks chanted and prayed. Since we walk past the temple pretty much every day, it was gratifying to see it as a hub of activity, and helped me feel like a part of the larger community in our little neighborhood. It felt quite special to observe this traditional practice full of flowers and candlelight, and be able to participate to some small degree. I will have to try to keep our spirit house looking presentable in hopes of good fortune for living and working here! Our spirit house by candlelight. Offerings left outside the temple. The community gathers at our local temple. Back home, my mom is the smoothie queen. When I’m visiting, the sound of the blender whirring in the late afternoon tips me off that I’ll soon get to sample her latest creation. Smoothies are such a delicious way to beat the heat in Southeast Asia, and they’re obligingly on pretty much every menu. I’m guilty of ordering one with essentially every meal… In Can Tho, Vietnam, I had a favorite spot for mango smoothies. Here, my hands-down favorite is the mango-passion fruit combo – although many places serve it with the passion fruit seeds included, which I’m more ambivalent about. Jacque and I recently decided to test out the small blender in our kitchen to grind up the selection of tropical fruits we bought at the market. I was surprised when she sliced open a dragonfruit to reveal dripping flesh in garish pink — I’d only ever seen the Dalmatian-esque white- with-black-seeds variety. In any case, the smoothie was an instant winner in the color department! Taste wise, it wasn’t much — the rather bland apple I threw in overpowered the more subtle taste of the tropical fruits, like mangosteen and rambutan. We didn’t quite have the blender screwed on all the way, so the end result was a fun color explosion, reminiscent of a high school chemistry lab. The second time around, I was going for the gold. I had been on a mission to buy a pineapple at the market, and I got one so ripe that in a matter of days it was turning to juice, whether I liked it or not. So into the blender it went, with some mango and banana for good measure. I’d say it was a winner! I suppose it’s time I wrote about something other than food. At the end of a long day, it’s hard to wrap my brain around anything too serious. Tonight is no exception – but I figured I could write about the other thing I love to take pictures of: flowers. In Laos, it’s not flowers growing in gardens or yards that catch my eye, but the heaps and heaps of marigolds for sale for people to use as Buddhist offerings. Finally I can post some photos that do justice to how much beauty can be found here. The sight just fills me with happiness on so many levels – especially seeing the flowers as offerings in the temples and on people’s personal altars and shrines. The color is one of my favorites and the idea of offering the flowers to the Buddha also makes me smile. I was just reading that, while marigolds are native to the Americas, they were introduced to South Asia in the 1500’s or so (at least according to these websites). I’ve definitely seen stunning photos of marigold-draped Buddhas in India. Gold is certainly everywhere when it comes to Buddhism here. Unlike the Tibetan, Chinese, or Vietnamese Buddhist images that I’m more familiar with, in Laos (and I’m guessing Thailand), the Buddhas and temples are all ornately carved, golden, and gleaming. The sight is like being filled with sunshine. The bright orange that I love is also everywhere in the fabric of monk robes. With so many temples around, monks (or rather, young monks in training) are constantly passing by, often with an umbrella in hand to shade their shaved heads from the sun. Apparently it’s quite common for families to send their sons to become monks just for a few years – they aren’t necessarily becoming monks for life, just a temporary service. I’ve learned that monks aren’t allowed to drive scooters – although apparently it’s ok to ride on the back. Many ride bicycles instead. I love the fact that our office is right between two large temples. There seems to be a temple every few blocks, and you can usually walk right through them. They often have the best trees in the city. Sinsamout and I cut through two to go to lunch last week and avoided the traffic completely. You can even drive a scooter or car through some of the temples during the day time, although I find that a bit disconcerting. Jacque and I stopped into a larger temple while we were biking around a the other week – since it was a Sunday, many families had come to make offerings and receive blessings from the monks. The monk “dormitory.” I love the color combinations. Around 5:45 pm every day, I hear the faint sound of the temple bell ringing next door, low and resonant, almost somber. It reminds me of my stay at a temple in Vietnam. Sinsamout said it’s calling the monks in to pray, and anyone can join to pray or meditate with them. Jacque and I peeked in last week on our way off to aerobics and saw the monks sitting there in rows before a giant statue of the Buddha lit up with spotlights. I will have to make a point to join them at least once before I leave. I could hardly find a better spot for a meditative reflection.

Our School gives two kinds of certificates when you finish the course. The Attendance Certificate (including number of tuition hours and level) is awarded without any final exam. The other, the Aptitude Diploma (including the score or mark obtained at the end-of-course assessment) is awarded after a final assessment test. This test is done in the last two hours of the course, being marked in about two hours, thus the accrediting diploma is given in less than four hours after the exam. Regarding the official diplomas, the school arranges all the documents needed to make the official diplomas. All our students, which have some Spanish knowledge, have to make our evaluation test before arriving on our Webpage. On the first day of the course, you’ll take an oral level test to find out your language level so we can include you in the appropriate group. The levels are established according to the European Common Framework established by the European Council, following the criteria set up by the Instituto Cervantes and the Asociación Europea de Organismos Certificadores de la Competencia Lingüística (ALTE). Within these criteria, in our school, we have established nine levels. Here is a guiding description of the Spanish knowledge you must have to be included in each one of the levels. A1.1 You do not know Spanish or your knowledge is very basic. You have basic grammar and vocabulary knowledge. You can hold simple dialogues. A2.1 You can cope with everyday situations, being able to have brief conversations on such topics. You can talk about current events, your past experiences and about the future, although you make mistakes. B1.1 You are able to communicate with enough confidence and to participate in conversations about everyday life. At this level some subjunctive structures will be studied. You can talk fluently and spontaneously, and write texts with well linked ideas. More subjunctive structures together with other grammar aspects will be studied. B2 You can participate in native conversations, although the topics are not familiar. The grammar required for the appropriate official exam will be taught. C1 At this level your capacity of expression and comprehension is already very high. You will widen your vocabulary and study Spanish expressions and turns of phrase. In grammar you’ll study the most complex Spanish structures deeply. C2 You can talk and understand different Spanish register, using turns of phrase. At this level your written and oral communication can become similar to a native. You could be prepared easily for the appropriate official exam.

SILVER SPRING, Md., Oct 29, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ -- United Therapeutics Corporation (Nasdaq: UTHR) today announced its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Revenues for the third quarter of 2009 were $97.2 million, up from $75.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. Net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $11.9 million, or $0.22 per basic share, compared to $11.0 million, or $0.24 per basic share for the same quarter last year. Gross margins from sales were $84.2 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $66.7 million for the third quarter of 2008. Earnings before non-cash charges, defined as net income before taxes and interest, depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and share-based compensation (stock option and share tracking award expense), were $38.3 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to $37.4 million for the third quarter of 2008. All per share amounts appearing in this press release reflect the two-for-one split of our common stock effected during the quarter ended September 30, 2009. Results for the third quarter of 2008 have been adjusted for the retrospective adoption of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification(TM) 470-20, Debt with Conversion Options and Other Options (formerly FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1) (FASB ASC 470-20), which became effective January 1, 2009. "The commercial launches of our two new medicines to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension, Tyvaso and Adcirca, got off to a great start this quarter," said Martine Rothblatt, Ph.D., United Therapeutics' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Equally important, our flagship product, Remodulin, achieved its highest quarterly sales levels ever. Taken together, these therapies evidence our keen focus on helping people with PAH." The growth in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009, corresponded in large part to the continued increase in the number of patients being prescribed Remodulin (treprostinil sodium) Injection and to the commercial launches of both Tyvaso (treprostinil) Inhalation Solution (Tyvaso) and Adcirca (tadalafil) tablets (Adcirca). Cardiovascular. The increase in cardiovascular program expenses for the third quarter of 2009 was attributed to expenses related to the amended FREEDOM-M and FREEDOM-C2 Phase 3 clinical trials. Share-based compensation. The increase in share-based compensation expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, corresponded to the increase in compensation expenses recognized in connection with outstanding awards under the United Therapeutics Corporation Share Tracking Awards Plan. General and administrative. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, resulted from expenses incurred in connection with the operations of our newly constructed facility in North Carolina and increases in legal and professional fees. Sales and marketing. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, corresponded principally to activities related to the commercial launches of Adcirca and Tyvaso. We recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $2.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, as a result of the release of approximately $5.7 million of the valuation allowance maintained against certain state net operating losses. In addition, the estimated annual effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009, was 19 percent, which declined as a result of increasing our previous estimates of business tax credits expected to be generated and utilized this year. (1) Adjusted for the retrospective adoption of FASB ASC 470-20. United Therapeutics will host a half-hour teleconference on Thursday, October 29, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time. The teleconference is accessible by dialing 1-888-632-5007, with international callers dialing 1-913-312-9324. A rebroadcast of the teleconference will be available for one week and can be accessed by dialing 888-203-1112, with international callers dialing 719-457-0820, and using conference code: 7459513. We use earnings before taxes and non-cash charges, a non-GAAP financial measure: (a) as measurements of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of expenses not directly resulting from our core operations; (b) for planning purposes, including the preparation of our internal annual operating budget; (c) to allocate resources to enhance the financial performance of our business; (d) to evaluate the effectiveness of our operational strategies; and (e) to evaluate our capacity to fund capital expenditures and expand our business. We believe this non-GAAP financial measure enhances our investors' understanding of our performance by excluding certain expenses that may not be indicative of our core operating measures. In addition, because we have historically reported earnings before non-cash charges to investors, we believe the inclusion of this non-GAAP financial measure provides consistency in our financial reporting. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure is not to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of earnings before non-cash charges to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, can be found in the table above under "Earnings Before Non-Cash Charges."

About three years ago we began placing Site Updates on the Blog and the Search at the right of the Page is very good for the newer material. That search can be found here. There the Blog can be searched by Keyword or you can look at Articles posted in a particular month. You can also search this Sitemap by selecting Edit at the top of your browser page, then by selecting; "Find on this Page" and then by typing in a Keyword to search. It will toggle to each instance of that word on this page. Finally, a note about the search engine on this page. As of now it only brings back results from s8int.com--not from the sub domain; "s8int.com/phile/". We're working on that. The Blog does cover everything in that sub-domain.

Male site workers in construction are three times more likely to commit suicide than the average UK male. So why are we so afraid to discuss mental health in the industry? Mental health and wellbeing are increasing in importance for many people but the construction sector still seems to be behind in tackling this. Taking time out to ensure you’re mentally healthy is now just as important as going to the doctor for a broken leg and this is something that needs to be openly discussed in the construction industry. With an increase in suicides over the Christmas season, now is the time for tradespeople to abandon bravado and talk about how they are feeling. Why is this such an issue in the construction sector? There’s no denying, working in construction is hard. The hours are long, and work is often challenging and in less than optimum conditions. Decreasing budgets and strict deadlines also create additional stress for tradespeople. Moreover, the industry workforce is predominantly male and the historic attitude of ‘not discussing emotions’ is prevalent within the industry. This leads to many bottling up emotions and suffering in silence. Visiting a doctor is a great first step for combatting any mental health problems. Whether it’s medication, counselling or therapy, they’ll be able to create a plan to get you back on track. If you don’t know where to start when speaking with a doctor, MIND charity has a great campaign called ‘Find the Words’ that can help. The behavioural changes that can occur with poor mental health can cause friction with your friends, family and colleagues. Explain what’s going on and talk to them. They’ll be more understanding and it might reduce the stress you’re experiencing. Whether you’re having a bad day, or the problem is more long term – take time out for yourself. Day-to-day, make sure you have a healthy work life balance and don’t be afraid to take five minutes away from a difficult job to gather your thoughts and get some headspace – it’ll probably make you more productive too! For a more long-term plan, make sure you have a hobby or activity you enjoy. This can be anything from the gym, to climbing a mountain, to reading. As long as you enjoy it, don’t neglect it and invest some time each week to spend time doing it. Alcohol, coffee and cigarettes might make you feel better in the short-term but they actually increase feelings of anxiety and stress in the long run. If you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed, try cutting them out and see if you see a difference. We’re often our own worse critic and chances are, no one is recognising your faults or downfalls as much as you are. Try to keep things in perspective and list the positive things about yourself rather than the negative. If you think a friend or colleague is suffering from depression or stress, it’s easy to think ‘there’s nothing I can do to help’, but that’s not true. Often, knowing that someone is available to talk to, someone that understands how you feel, can make people feel less alone and open to the idea of receiving help. Creating a culture where people don’t need to hide their feelings is crucial. Encourage your colleagues to be open about how they feel, if they feel comfortable doing this. Cliched, but a problem shared is often a problem halved.If someone isn’t open to talking about their feelings, don’t force them. Take them to one side and simply let them know that you are there to talk if they need to. It is also important to make sure you don’t use language that could shame or embarrass someone if they are experiencing mental health problems. We’re sure you will often hear phrases like ‘don’t be soft’, ‘man up’ and ‘stop being a baby’, but this creates a culture where people will bottle up their feelings for fear of ridicule. Remember, most of the time tradespeople are working as a team. Don’t pass the blame if a job goes wrong or gets delayed and don’t pass all of the expectations onto one person. If someone feels solely responsible for a task, the pressure can be overwhelming – especially if it goes wrong. This can create unrealistic expectations and cause an abundance of stress. Instead, look at how the entire team can help resolve a problem.
