I like making pizza from scratch (see Homemade Pizza can be a Memorable Event), but it is not always necessary to spend half a day in the kitchen to enjoy the taste of a fresh, flavorful pizza.
When I found this recipe the other day, I just had to try it!
The crust is made of naan bread. This exquisite Indian flat bread is baked in an earthen oven called a tandoor. Naan bread is a great vehicle for scooping up sauces left on your plate while eating Indian food, but as I found out last night, it also makes a nice pizza crust.
This meal is not only extremely easy to make, it is also virtually mess free. This naan bread pizza is also an escape from the the usual, with ingredients not generally pared together. And it is delicious!
Since I did not create the recipe, I will refer you to Bohemian Kate, who came up with this marvelous idea. But before I do, I would like to add a few notes of my own:
Indian cuisine has gotten popular enough in recent years that you should be able to find naan bread in most of the large supermarkets. I chose to purchase a slightly more expensive bread (made by Stonefire) which is more authentic and flavorful.
Although I prefer a good goat cheese, and did use it this time around (since we happened to have some on hand), I often substitute fetta cheese which is generally less expensive.
Another cost saving idea is to leave out the sweetner, agave nectar. I have never used agave because it is a bit pricey, but I am thinking the honey itself should sufficiently sweeten the pizza. If you are unsure, check with Kate. I am by no means an expert.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. If you do try this pizza, maybe you could add your experience to the comment section of this site or to Kate’s Blog.

If you're using Windows file sharing, you probably know that you can access files on other machines not just by browsing your Network Places but by entering UNC (Universal [or Uniform] Naming Convention) names like this:
But UNC names can become cumbersome. Instead, map a network location to a drive letter: Replace the UNC name above with something like P:\to\file.txt, where P: refers to a directory on another machine.
Windows offers a number of ways to map network drives. From a command prompt (or a batch file invoked at start-up), you can type, using the example above, NET USE P: \\machinename\sharename\path. You can also go to Start | My Network Places, right-click, choose Map Network Drive, and browse to a location. Or click on the Tools menu in the standard Windows toolbar and select Map Network Drive.

Apprenticeships – How We Do It
What are Apprenticeships?
There is a common misconception that Apprenticeships are just for manual, field-based roles and for entry-level staff, usually just out of school or college –but that’s just not the case anymore.
Apprenticeships are work-based training schemes designed to help you foster emerging talent in your business. They combine work with study and result in a programme which is truly work-focused.
You can use apprenticeships to support new employees, or people already in your business when they move into new roles.
The technical and professional disciplines on offer range from entry-levy qualifications all the way through to degree-level. The new employer-designed standards mean that organisations can implement a programme that really fits the roles in their business.
To learn more about Apprenticeships and what the Chamber can offer, view and download our Employer Apprenticeship Handbook here.
Why the Chamber?
The Chamber has been delivering high quality Apprenticeships in the East Midlands for over 30 years, inspiring individuals and businesses to realise their potential and achieve their goals.
Our programmes are helping clients to attract and retain talent, professionalise the workforce and migrate existing L&D activity to Apprenticeship programmes.
As the region’s largest business support organisation, we make it our business to understand each individual organisation’s needs and we offer one-to-one support and guidance to both employer and learner from the get-go to completion.
Our unique Apprenticeship managed service approach enables clients to maximise the potential they can release from publicly-funded programmes and the Apprenticeship Levy.
Don’t just take our word for it. Read our case studies with the Chamber’s Apprenticeship employer partners:
In the 2015 summer budget, the Government announced plans to introduce an Apprenticeship Levy for large employers from April 2017. It requires employers to contribute to a training fund which can only be spent on Apprenticeships.
Do you want to know how the Apprenticeship Levy impacts your organisation? Our experts offer a free consultancy service to help employers like you prepare for the levy and maximise the benefits you’ll get from the changes.
For further details on the Levy, see the Apprenticeship Levy explained document.
If you are a training provider and are considering subcontracting opportunities for the Study Programme, please find details of the Chamber’s sub-contracting policy here.

Heat and light during the period of ripening affect the ripening and perfect flavor of fruits. When American fruits are shown in Europe at expositions their bright coloring and flavor are commented on by all visitors. Given varieties color more perfectly and are richer in flavor than when grown in the moister and cooler air of west Europe. In the same way, apples, pears, grapes, and other fruits show higher color, and are better in flavor grown west of the lakes than in the moister and cooler summer air of Michigan or New England. Even the size and shape of apples are modified and changed by either the air or soil of some of the Rocky Mountain districts. The largest specimens of given varieties have been shown from these regions at our expositions, and in some cases the specimens were longer than those grown farther east, and enlarged in all their parts.

Yes, I’ve decided to make a list of everything that is wrong with me at the present moment. 1. It’s good to have an account of where I am currently to be able to watch my progress… either up or down. 2. It MAY help me to realize that I’m not as in bad of a shape as I thought (or it could have the complete opposite effect, which may send me into a spiral of depression. Meh!). 3. maybe I can use this blog as a refrence when I go to the doctor and they ask “what medical issues do you currently have”. Which currently I just write “ask me later when you have time for this”. So, ok, here goes everything, in no particular order because it’s just coming from my brain. HA!
- Graves Disease – although I actually think this diagnosis is incorrect. I think there is something wrong with my thyroid and they just happened to pick up on it when it was extremely high, even though I wasn’t losing any weight because of it which is totally unfair. I’m probably the ONLY person in the world who GAINED weight while being HYPER! GAH
- Pre-Diabetic – again, I think this actually has something to do with my thyroid. I’ve been taking my blood glucose measurements and it’s only high when I first wake up. I’m changing WHEN I take my metformin to see if that helps.
- Broken back – I have 3 vertebrae in my lower back that are broken on the sides. They’ve been there since I was 18 when I stupidly got into an accident that nearly killed me.
- Arthritis – currently I am aware of arthritis in my back where it’s broken and my right knee. I believe that I may have it in my hands and/or my other knee. Possibly other locations as well.
- Allergies – I was born allergic to protein and sugar. LOL How I made it passed my 1st year is a miracle. But here I am close to 50 years later. I’m still allergic to everything (not an exageration), but I’m not still breast-fed, so that’s good.
- Scoliosis – it’s mild, though may be worse since my back was broken. My back has always been an issue for me
- Fibromyalgia – This seems to be under control for the most part now that my Lyrica dosage is at the correct level. The dull roar of pain that has been there continuously for I don’t know how many years has finally been quieted. Of course that means all these other things keep popping up to say hi now.
- Depression – I’ve dealt with depression for most of my life. I used to say I was happy and thought the world loved me until I was 5, when I went to school and found out that no one really loved me at all. Kinda sad. Actually never realized how sad I was as a kid till now.
- Anxiety – This too has been something I’ve dealt with most of my life. I used to say I was “shy”, but really I was anxious to meet people. When I’m really in a bad place, I’m almost agoraphobic, but generally I just don’t like being around people much because it stresses me out like crazy.
- Carpal Tunnel syndrom – I’m wearing a brace right now as I write this. My first two fingers on my right hand, and my thumb are tingling as I type. The ring finger and middle finger of my left hand are tingling as well.
- Sleep Apnea – I believe this is mostly caused by my weight, but maybe not.
- Asthma – although since I quit smoking almost 4 years ago, I haven’t had much issues with this.
- IBS – I won’t go into this, but suffice it to say I hate the potty.
- Galbladder issues – I did until 2016 when I got it removed. Just adding this as a reminder for my surgery list. LOL
- Poor eyesight – this has been developing over the past 8 years. Mostly due to the fact that I use the computer and my phone entirely too much.
- High blood pressure – I used to have low blood pressure. So much so that I would faint when I would stand up. Now it’s high. Not have a stroke and die high. And it’s getting better!
- Overweight – I haven’t weighted myself in about a month, so I don’t know the full damage of the holidays yet. But I’m going to make a WAG (and if you don’t know what that means, ask your grandma), but I think it’s between 230 & 240. The highest I have ever been in my life.
Ok, so I think that list is pretty depressing to say the least. A lot of these things may be caused by the same issue. I believe that there is an underlying problem that has yet to be diagnosed that brings all or most of these issues together. I do not believe that it is food.
Lemme tell you why I do not believe that my issue is food. I have always, always been thin! Not skinny, but thin. Until I hit 30ish and was on birth control and depression meds, which started the downhill roll towards weight issues. My eating habits haven’t changed much over the years. I eat too much sometimes, but I’m an average eater. I don’t eat extremely healthy, but when I have, it has had no affect on my overall health.
The one thing that HAS affected my health the most, other than all the meds, has been exercise. When I have been consistently moving and exercising, some, not all, but some of my issues were controlled better. Especially the issues with pain. That’s a very difficult cycle to get out of/into.
When I’m hurting, doing any kind of exercise is painful and causes me to be in pain for days. Not hours, but days. But if I can continue to exercise long enough, slowly the pain goes away. The more I move, the less I hurt. But if I can’t continue to exercise, then it hurts more the next time I move. It becomes a very hard cycle to change.
Taking Lyrica has started to make moving easier though. I’ve started getting on my recumbent cycle now. I can ride it for a full 3/4 mile at the moment. I know it doesn’t sound like a lot, but it’s better than 0. I’ll work up to more as I continue to move.
I realize this sounds kind of depressing. Maybe it actually is too. But it’s also not as bad as I thought. There’s a lot that could be wrong with me, that isn’t. I still am able to work at my business and take care of my family. That’s what’s really important. So, although there’s a lot I have to deal with, I have a lot of blessings too. More blessings than curses. I keep working, I keep heading towards my goal of being healthier. As long as I keep swimming, eventually I’ll get to where I’m going!

We can still sell our products but can we confidently say that they make a difference? If so, a difference to what?
We need to dive deeper into organizations
It is not profitable to protect boundaries, What's a vision then?, Which values?, leadership in multiple work relationships (e.g. contractors), Digital Value Networks As the business landscape becomes global, as customers more tech-savvy and as new channels emerge, such as mobile Net and digital TV, new forms of alliances and business value networks will be forged. Competitors today are collaborators tomorrow, customers can become suppliers, suppliers may become agents. Speed, value, quality and cost-effectiveness will dominate customers choices.
The War for Hearts creates a new understanding/demands of HR, new HR models, e.g. business partners
we have been working on the wrong paradigm: people are not resistant to change, Gallup surveys, 12Q
There is no time for change management, How get agility into the system
either good project management or change leadership, The new leaders of tomorrow must be ready to face a complex set of unknowns never faced before: competition for talent, managing rapid change and creating real-time agility.
but we behave as it is the norm
Lynda Gratton's Masai story
Dark sides: isolation, fragmentation, mental overflow
The CKO will succeed the CIO, The Office of the Chief Knowledge Officer (OCKO) is responsible for assuring that the Center operates as a learning organization. It is responsible for policy and guidance on Lessons Learned, Knowledge Management and Learning Practices. The OCKO provides the Center with knowledge management services and support facilitating the application of knowledge and enhancing Goddard’s development as a learning organization.
Knowledge-Value Engineering As the net becomes pervasive driven by the unification of supply chains, shaped by telecom, banks and content players an entirely new paradigm of doing business will emerge. Knowledge-Value engineering is the process of leveraging virtual supply chains to manage, create, sell, distribute, market and finance an entire business online.
New Business Visions In the next evolution of business, where every business is an e-business, software agents and avatars will play an important role. Agents will help us navigate commerce, find information, negotiate deals and even keep us company. Our entire idea about supply chains and business will change in the future. Entrepreneur will create on-demand virtual supply chains–super efficient, that come together for a specific project and then dissolve. Someone will build a Virtual Supply Chain Bank, to re-use these resources for others to deploy.

Next Generation Of The Penguin Update “Few Weeks” Away
In March, Google’s chief web spam fighter Matt Cutts promised that the Penguin Update designed to fight spam would get a big refresh later this year. Today, Cutts gave an update — keep waiting. It’s still a few weeks off. Along the way, there’s some confusion about whether the next Penguin Update will be Penguin 2 or Penguin 4. It’ll be Penguin 4, in how we reckon things. Let’s dive in.
This Week Wasn’t Penguin
Publishers have already been wondering if a change in rankings that many have noticed this week was some type of Google update. Google won’t say what, if anything happened.
However, Cutts has ruled out that it was the significant Penguin Update he warned in March would be coming.

A Plan of Action for Jobs
Today, official statistics were published showing that unemployment in Scotland has risen for the second month in a row. Youth unemployment has topped the 100,000 mark for the first time since these records began in 1992. Things must change.
That’s why today Richard Baker MSP and I visited North Glasgow College to meet students worried about unemployment and their futures.
The students we met are bright, conscientious, young people who want to work and are studying courses such as care, construction and engineering that will help get Scotland’s economy moving again. But they know that one in five of their classmates will not find work at the end of their course.
That is because Scotland is stuck between a Tory government cutting too far and too fast and an SNP government whose economic policy simply isn’t working.
But Labour isn’t just here to criticise – our party must be offering a clear alternative to the failed policies of the Tories and the SNP. That’s why we’ve published a five-point plan for jobs and growth. You can read the plan here: scottishlabour.org.uk/plan
Across the UK, Labour is calling for a national jobs plan to help youngsters find work and get the experience they need to be successful. We want to temporarily reverse the unfair VAT rise, that will put money back into the pockets of hardworking families and help companies with the cost of taking on new staff.
But it is not just the Tories that must act: the SNP government must change course too. They are cutting spending on building roads, bridges, schools, and homes faster than even George Osborne dares to do, and their deep cuts to colleges are dangerous at the very time school leavers need training the most.
In the coming weeks and months, Scottish Labour will be campaigning hard on the need for jobs and growth in Scotland and we have campaign material ready to promote our plan.
Margaret Curran MP is Shadow Secretary of State for Scotland representing Glasgow East at Westminster.

FHA mortgages are ideal for very first time home purchasers who wish to make use of the low advance payment requirement as well as for individuals who have credit blemishes. It really is a federal government loan helping to make qualifying for an FHA loan much easier compared to a traditional loan.
What Exactly Are FHA Loans?
An FHA insured loan is known as among the loan choices that are best on the market for just about any homebuyer looking for a reduced advance payment coupled with fairly effortless qualifying criteria. The Federal Housing management (FHA) is component of this U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

We’ve all seen, or heard the stories in which a brand is “testing” the delivery capability of drones (e.g. UPS, Amazon, Domino’s, etc.). In many of these cases, the drone is piloted by a person – but that won’t be cost-efficient if drone delivery is to become a larger practice.
In reality, these drones would need to be flying autonomously – and that means there needs to be a way to keep track of them. Think of it as air-traffic control for drones, and that is one step closer to becoming reality with today’s news in Recode.
AirMap, a company that provides airspace services platforms, announced $26 million in a new round of investor funding. AirMap’s platform is already being used by hundreds of customers and has tracked millions(!) of drone flights.
We’re still several years away from drones becoming a bigger part of our airspace, but it’s clear in the work of companies like AirMap that the future will be here in very short order.
- Well, it’d be cool to order a TV and have it delivered by a drone (soon, but not now)
- This could – dare I say – disrupt package delivery as we know it (think USPS)
- Delivery may no longer be a binary choice (home, or office)

Malaria parasites can spread among mice through cannibalism and blood-drinking, and scientists think that the simian immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis spread among chimpanzees the same way. (However, none of this has been shown in humans, and such a study probably wouldn’t pass an ethics board anyway.) It’s also possible that people could pick up tapeworms through cannibalism.
However, the biggest health threat tied to cannibalism is prion diseases, a group of neurodegenerative disorders that are spread by eating contaminated meat. Prions are misfolded proteins that wreak havoc in healthy bodies by causing healthy proteins to change shape and convert even more proteins into prions. You wind up with a cascade of misshapen proteins that cause tissue damage and cell death, and eventually brain deterioration, loss of motor control and death. It’s nasty stuff, and the human brain, bone marrow, spinal cord and small intestine can all harbor prions, which aren’t easily killed denatured by cooking.

How I Almost Became a Vegetarian (Again)
We went to visit Dan's family for Thanksgiving this year. Since we live a few hours away it limits what I can bring for the actual meal, so I opted to bring wine and was recruited to help cook. I'm totally fine with that because Dan's mom, Fran, is an awesome cook and I could use the training. Evan also got in on the food prep, helping to peel tangerines and pluck grapes for the fruit bowl. He loves to help in the kitchen. He also loves watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with his Poppy. I thought my sous chef responsibiliities were going pretty well, up until it came time to stuff the turkey. It's been nearly 20 years since I was a vegetarian, but I just couldn't do it. I think I'd used up my daily quota of toughness picking the meat off of some unknown bones for the stock. I love my mother-in-law. She was totally cool about it. Evan smiled for one pre-dinner picture. And Dan staged an American family dinner feud. Notice how his brother just ignores him. Ha! Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the story of my labour and birth of my firstborn child, my beautiful daughter. It was a much anticipated birth, we had suffered a journey of infertility and loss and her arrival marked one of such anticipation and joy. But it was not to be. This is a story of birth trauma (may be triggering).
The day that I went into labour with my first child started out as one of those happy, excited days where you knew that you were soon to meet your long-awaited baby.
My waters broke in the late afternoon while I was lying on the couch watching an old midday movie. I had spent the morning ferociously digging up the garden and harbouring the ‘feeling’ that things were about to happen. I didn’t speak them out loud as my husband had left town for a soccer match that was a three hour drive away and meant that he wouldn’t be home before 8pm. I didn’t want to stop him going because of a ‘feeling’… I hadn’t even reached my EDD (just ticked over to 38 weeks).
Anyway, the moment my waters broke I was shocked. I waddled to bathroom to check things out and confirm to myself that that was really it. I then went out to the phone and called the hospital. I spoke to a lovely midwife who told me to take my time, have a shower and come on in in the next hour or two. Unfortunately as my husband wasn’t there, I was a bit lost as to what to do. So instead of relaxing and going about getting ready I went into a tizzy trying to think of who to call that could drive me. Thankfully my good friend came around and she helped me pack my bags and get me to hospital.
At this stage I wasn’t in labour.
I was met by a lovely midwife from birth suite who, as per policy, hooked me up the CTG. I remember this time as being really happy and jovial. My best friend was there, I knew that my husband was going to be there in a couple of hours and I had a fabulous midwife on board.
BUT, because I wasn’t in labour they sent me to my room and of course, there was a shift change. Little did I know at the time that it was a fateful moment where my birth journey with my daughter would change from one of excitement and joy to one of humiliation and trauma.
The chain of events began when, a man entered my room in a suit and sat down beside me and introduced himself as my OBs back up. He informed me that my OB was doing the public hospital round that weekend and so he was now my care provider. I was horrified. This was not the person I had formed a connection with. This person was foreign to me and to my approach. He then, without pause, told me that I will most likely not go into labour that weekend (it was a Saturday night by this stage) and, on Monday, my regular OB would order an induction.
He told me that the reason it would be so long before I went into labour was because I was a “first timer” and my body “didn’t know what to do”, so would need help. I remember being so embarrassed that I could be pigeon-holed like that and that my body was seen by this person as an inherent failure. It struck an emotional nerve with me, as we struggled for almost 2 years with fertility problems and two late first trimester losses before falling pregnant with this baby… so I felt already that my body was not perfect for making babies.
This was a huge blow to my confidence that had grown over the months as my belly swelled and grew a beautiful baby. It shocked me and made me so doubtful that I didn’t bother telling him that I was experiencing what I suspected were contractions. My husband had arrived about halfway through this discussion and was not included in the conversation or even invited to be in the space ITMS. I remember feeling really impatient that this OB was there and not letting my husband and I connect and be happy… he was so obviously uninterested in our upcoming birth.
He finally left, and my husband and my best friend and I had a quick catch up before another midwife entered the room for whatever pointless reason, and as she was leaving turned around and said that my husband was not allowed to stay beyond 9pm as visiting hours would be over. My best friend said her goodbyes as it was already 8.45pm by this stage and she knew that we needed some one on one time.
We were shattered that they wouldn’t let him stay. We had NO time whatsoever to bond and reconnect and get our heads around the fact that our much wanted baby was almost here!
They shuffled him out the door at 9pm on the dot. I went into full blown labour at 9.30pm. Because my daughter was engaged and my waters were broken labour started out with 2 minute contractions that were last a good 30-40 seconds each. Good, effective contractions. I was SO excited! I wanted my husband there. I waited almost half an hour before buzzing a midwife as I wanted to make sure that this was really it… the OB had, afterall, told me that it wouldn’t happen as I wouldn’t know what to do!
The midwife that came in, wasn’t the lovely midwife I had met a few hours earlier. This one seemed nice enough, a bit aloof and a bit more hands off straightforward. But I didn’t mind, I just wanted to get up to birth suite and have my husband there and get on with things. I didn’t feel stressed or in pain. I was loving that my baby was on the way and was actually relishing each contraction… I was doing it, I was having my baby!
[In labour! My final belly shot!]
I lay down on the bed in birth suite as per the hospital policy for more CTG… I asked that she call my husband. The midwife told me that she would as soon as she could confirm that I was in active labour. She told me that she was going to perform an internal. I was ok with that, I had no idea how painful they were… they didn’t mention that in the antenatal classes held at the hospital. All of a sudden I had this searing, unrelenting pain and she waited all through a contraction and then some before finally (after I was yelling out the whole time) and informed me that I was 4cms and it was the real deal. It was 10.15pm. I asked her to call my husband.
She told me that I needed to rest. She turned off all the lights and walked out.
This is where I started to feel very, very alone. And I was very, very alone. My contractions were still coming every 2 minutes. I was breathing through them so beautifully and resting (like the dutiful patient that I am) in between, I was expecting my husband at any minute as we only lived 10 minutes away. After half an hour the midwife walked in. I asked after my husband; she ignored my query and told me that she spoke to my OB (the fill in OB) and he agreed that I should be given pethidine. I told her no. My birth plan was drug free. She told me that he felt that I should have it. I told her no thanks… I was so polite and still really cheery (I was having my baby!!), I could sense that she was perplexed but didn’t really care too much as she walked back out and I was able to zone out and concentrate on the labour.
Roughly 10 minutes later she came back in. She told me that I really needed my rest and that I needed to relax… so I should really have the pethidine. I was really relaxed and was getting a bit annoyed by her and said no thanks again. She walked back out.
The time was 11.05pm and he still wasn’t there! Where was he?! What was he doing?? Surely he hadn’t fallen back asleep after she called? I was getting cross at him. How dare he take his time and be late on an occasion such as this (he is notorious for tardiness lol).
20 minutes later the midwife came back in. she just stood in the entrance way and watched me. Because she was just standing there I felt the need to smile at her… it was really weird how she was just standing there staring at me. She told me while standing there that the OB had given his approval for the pethidine and he really felt that it was a good idea. I was beginning to feel bullied. She was not being nice. She was not smiling, or being gentle. She would not even come to my side to tell me. After she left, she left the room door wide open to corridor. This meant that I now was labouring with a potential audience. She sat right outside my door reading a magazine and eating something. It was disconcerting.
Where was he, where was my husband? Why wasn’t he here to be with me? I was getting really upset and scared.
At 11.45pm I had found a new rhythm of ‘resting’ through active labour. Unbeknownst to me, I had tapped into a ‘calm breathing’ technique that was serving me well; despite the active labour it was not painful just active! So I was able to lie there and breath my way through each surge like a champion.
At one point I noticed that I wasn’t alone in the room. The midwife never knocked. She would just enter and silently go about her business… which so far involved a lot of staring at me. I opened my eyes and asked if my husband had arrived. She told me that she hadn’t called him. I was in shock. I couldn’t believe it. I asked over 2 hours ago for him to be called… I didn’t have a mobile phone of my own and she had promised that she would call. I told her that I want him to be called. She told me that I needed my rest and that she would not call until I had the pethidine that the OB told me I should have. I started to panic. I suddenly felt very very trapped and very very frightened. This was not nice. This was not what I signed up for. I told her that I wanted her to call my husband.
She walked back out.
About 5 minutes later, I noticed that she had come up to the other side of the bed. She had come into the dark room and circled around my bed and was now standing beside my bed near the cupboards with all their machines that go “ping!”. I was lying on my side facing away from that side… towards the door and the clock, vainly, yet eargerly awaiting my husband’s arrival.
She placed her hand on my thigh and lent in close and told me that it would be best if I just agreed to the pethidine. I was so scared. She was really scary. A contraction began and as my gaze moved from her face down to my leg that she was touching I noticed something in her hand. It glistened. The light coming in through the door was dim, but enough for me, in that moment to realise what she was holding was the already drawn needle full of pethidine. I was so frightened. As the contraction deepened she told me that all I needed to do was agree – she applied pressure to my leg – and she said then and only then would she call my husband. I began to cry. Not out loud sobs or hysterical, just silent tears. I knew that I had lost. That it was too late. That he wasn’t there and that he would not be there because she was controlling me and controlled the phones. I had no one.
The contraction peaked, it was not painful, as I lay there I cried and turned my face towards the wall on the opposite side of the room and cried and I said, “I want my husband… ok… I guess…I want my husband, please call him”. Before I had even finished the sentence I felt the sharp prick of the needle. I hadn’t even consented. I felt that I had given up and was beginning to accept what she was proposing, but it was not consent. It was never going to be consent by that stage, but her driving that needle into my thigh before I had even finished my sentence was assault. My body was not mine. It was hers. She controlled me.
She suddenly perked up, told me that it wasn’t that bad and that NOW she would call my husband. My husband arrived 12 minutes later.
I guess it is important to highlight that the rest of the birth was deeply traumatic. I had an adverse reaction to the pethidine. I was experiencing terrible vertigo, racing heart. It provided no pain relief.
All that it achieved was a prone, immobile woman who could no longer talk or move. The perfect labouring woman in a hospital really!
My husband had no idea what had happened. All he saw was a serene looking wife lying down on the bed. He couldn’t see the terror in my eyes (we were still not allowed to stop resting) and he couldn’t hear my silent internal screams. It took me a long while to realise that my screaming wasn’t out loud. That it was all trapped in my mind. I literally could not believe that no one could notice or care that I was terrified.
My beautiful daughter was born 7 hours after the injection. The effects of the drug on me had mostly worn off, except for the extreme wooziness. The effects on my daughter, however, had only just begun. She was born beautifully and perfect in every way as the dawn came. The horrid OB was there. He complained openly at having to be there as it was Fathers day and I took him away from breakfast in bed. He was not joking.
I sustained (apparently) a small tear. The midwife who clocked in after the awful midwife (who didn’t leave…she decided to stay despite not asking my permission) approached the OB to ask what he was doing…he told her to not question him as it was a tear and he was going to stitch it. She told him that it looked more like a graze. He continued to stitch. There was no local. It was horrendous and I cried out. He told me that he couldn’t believe that I could feel that after having a baby. He gave the local but took no time to let it take effect and continued. It was horrendous.
[Picture of me with my baby girl … nothing like trying to bond with your minutes old baby with someone stitching up a tear without local!]
There were many other smaller things that were done to humiliate and degrade me over the course of that stay, including telling me that I was underfeeding my ‘obviously dehydrated and distressed’ baby, that I was ‘overfeeding’ my poor small baby, and that it was ridiculous that I was distressed at seeing my baby stop breathing and needing to be resuscitated on the bed beside me only 3 hours after she was born. She was grabbed by the midwife and rushed out of the room, blue and struggling for breath, I was still sitting there in shock 3 hours later. No one came past to tell me where she was, or what was happening. My husband arrived and found me there. I was in tears. He went out looking. Came back with a midwife carrying a consent form. They told me that my daughter ‘needed’ formula. Just the once. No reason given. Did I want to be present when they gave it? Yes. They were not impressed. My daughter and I had absolutely NO breastfeeding issues. She was actually gaining weight in hospital!
[The beginning of a beautiful 14 month breastfeeding journey]
I left that hospital 5 days later. Deeply traumatised. My baby had gone through hell and was still struggling with the after effects of the pethidine (yes, they admitted that at least!). I had gone through hell and was beginning a year long journey of life with an acute PTSD and PND. I was no longer the person I was only 5 days prior. I was never to be that person again.

Skier killed in Montana avalanches
HELENA, Montana (AP) – Authorities in Montana say two snowmobilers and a skier have died in three separate avalanches.
The Livingston Enterprise reports that 44-year-old David Lee Gaillard was skiing with his wife Saturday afternoon southeast of Cooke City when an avalanche occurred.
Park County Coroner Al Jenkins says Gaillard's wife couldn't find her husband and emergency responders recovered the body.
About two hours earlier, another avalanche occurred north of Cooke City. County officials say the avalanche buried 46-year-old Jody Ray Verhasselt for 12 minutes before two snowmobiling companions pulled him out.
Another man died Sunday when his snowmobile triggered an avalanche east of Red Lion. The name of the 20-year-old Butte man wasn't immediately released.
Granite County Sheriff Stephen Immenschuh tells the Montana Standard that unstable snow in the mountains has created dangerous conditions.

I just did a fresh install of QGIS 2.10.1 from the qgis repos (Ubuntu 14.04). I also have grass70 installed (through ubuntugis-unstable).
I can see the GRASS7 commands in the processing toolbox panel, but when I try to use them I got the Missing dependency. This algorithm cannot be run :-( message.
In the plugins log I noticed that QGIS could not load
libgrassplugin6.so, but I'm guessing that is not the issue since I'm trying to run grass7 algorithms.
Also, on the processing log I got this output when trying to run a grass 7 command:
GRASS GIS 7 execution commands g.proj -c proj4="+proj=utm +zone=30 +ellps=intl +towgs84=-87,-98,-121,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs" v.in.ogr min_area=0.0001 snap=-1 input="/usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/processing/tests/data" layer=points output=tmp1444494282425 --overwrite -o g.region -a n=4458983.8488 s=4458921.97814 e=270855.745301 w=270778.60198 res=100 v.voronoi input=tmp1444494282425 output=output22e863becb734ae4a06720411090abf0 --overwrite v.out.ogr -s -e input=output22e863becb734ae4a06720411090abf0 type=auto output="/tmp/processing/b5eb2443ef0840239dc22209a29a71db" format=ESRI_Shapefile olayer=output
But when I try to run a GRASS command (without version, I think that means grass 6, doesn't it?), I got no output on the log. I think that must mean something.
I started QGIS from a console and got this error when I try to execute a GRASS 7 algorithm:
ERROR 4: Unable to open /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/processing/tests/data/points.shp or /usr/share/qgis/python/plugins/processing/tests/data/points.SHP.
At first I thought it was a permissions issue (the file exists), so i chmod it to 777 but the error persisted.
Browsing around the processing plugin code, it seems that every time you run a grass algorithm the plugin runs a test using that file.

Watch this fascinating video about the McGurk Effect. It deals with the way our brains interpret the vast quantity of stimulus we absorb every minute. From sounds to visual images, our amazing noggins are able to separate out all the different input and make sense of it. However, just like optical illusions trick our eyes, there are also “auditory” illusions that can dupe our ears. This is important as you enter (or re-enter) the career world. Remember, you may hear your employer or supervisor say one thing, but the boss may have actually said something completely different. The moral? Listen carefully!

We used direct band-recovery records of Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa) banded 1 April-15 September (1960-1987) in the southern and southeastern reference areas of Bowers and Martin (1975) to test whether winter distribution and migration distance were age- and sex-specific. Effects of variation in early-autumn temperature and precipitation conditions on winter distribution patterns also were studied. Latitude and longitude of winter band recoveries did not differ by age and sex in the southern reference area; but adult Wood Ducks tended to migrate shorter distances than young. In the southeastern reference area, recovery distributions of males and females also did not differ; but adults were distributed north and east of young birds, and migrated shorter distances. We predicted that Wood Ducks would move farther south in winter when early-autumn (October-November) temperature and spring-summer (April-September) precipitation were below normal. Adults were recovered farther south when precipitation was below average, but deviations from average temperatures were not associated with winter distribution. Young Wood Ducks occurred farther south when rainfall in spring-summer was less than normal and when average November temperature was colder than normal. We conclude that winter distributions of male and female Wood Ducks did not differ, but that adults migrated shorter distances than young. Variation in winter distribution was associated with early-autumn habitat suitability.

The Universal Singularity Theory, or “UST”, is an attempt to describe everything – all that is in our universe, and all that is both within and beyond our comprehension. It offers hints to the reason for our very existence.
The UST is not based on any religion or institution with an alternative agenda, but attempts to provide a rationale for all we know and construct a realistic scenario of things beyond our traditional frame of reference.
The theory cannot be expressed in a manner that we commonly understand, or through traditional means or methodologies. We can only attempt to think of it in a way that allows us to imagine that it exists, that we might perceive it.
A forthcoming book, The Universal Singularity Theory, is an attempt to describe the indescribable. It offers readers a new paradigm of thinking; a new way of looking at what is around us, where we are, and what we are.
The author, Tim Chittenden, offers a compelling perspective of the universe derived from an alternate state of mind during a near-death experience. The author’s intent is to share his perspective of how he came to view the universe. His view challenges how we look at ourselves and what we think we know.
Below are some excerpts from the book that may offer an idea of what awaits the prospective reader…
If you live in a world with dimensions you observe matter occupying space. If you live in a world without dimensions you see matter as energy, rather than an object occupying space.
(more excerpts forthcoming)

In a move that will be considered almost a vindication for Chiefs fans, Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antrel Rolle has been fined $12,500 for his vicious and illegal tackle on Kansas City Chiefs runningback Larry Johnson.
This is Rolle's second tackling fine this year. He also maliciously tackled Seattle RB Shaun Alexander earlier this year, for which he was fined $5,000. Word to the wise- If you suck enough to keep getting burned on tackles, don't take out your frustration on an opponent. Especially don't do it in a manner that may harm their entire career.
Arizona and other NFL teams take note. You don't want to end up like Rolle's alma mater the University of Miami and become known for recruiting shitty players who intentionally attempt to injure other players.

Plagiarism is stealing someone’s work or idea and presenting it as your own. It is a common vice among students which should be avoided at all costs. Many students are not guilty of plagiarism but find themselves plagiarizing by accident especially during an extensive research or dissertation. In the process of writing their notes, they can accidentally find themselves incorporating the ideas or opinions of an individual and presenting them as their own.
There are different methods that students can use to avoid plagiarism. One good way to avoid plagiarism is to record all the reference used and record them at the end of the work. Citations should follow every statement that has been borrowed. The document or academic writing guidelines such as MLA, Harvard, APA or Chicago should be used while citing the source of information. Different learning institutions have preferred formatting styles. The information obtained should contain the name of the author and date or year of publication. For instance, when using Modern Language Association (MLA) system of formation the borrowed ideas or words should be followed by the name of the author and page number in parenthesis.
Paraphrasing is another is another simple step that can be used to ensure that the document is free from plagiarism. Putting every information obtained in your own words is important. Avoid copying more than two words in a row from the source document. This would result in plagiarism. Quoting a source also helps in avoiding plagiarism. Every information should be quoted precisely the way they appear to avoid misquotation. It is essential to include the reference or work cited page at the end of a research paper to prevent plagiarism. The work cited page should follow the formatting guidelines. The reference page should contain the title, the author’s name and date of publication. Plagiarism is an academic offense that causes a student to lose career or academic degree.

Creators and underwriters of asset- backed securities joined bond investors in telling the Securities and Exchange Commission to go further than proposed new rules on sellers’ obligations to take back bad mortgages from future securitizations.
“Our membership felt the SEC proposal didn’t address the real problem,” Chris Killian, vice president of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association’s securitization group, said yesterday. “There is a realization on both sides of the disputes in existing RMBS transactions that the current mechanisms, and therefore outcomes, have not been optimal.”
Bond-sponsor and dealer members of Wall Street’s largest lobbying group propose that sellers of at least residential mortgage-backed securities, or RMBS, through shelf registrations be required to appoint independent firms responsible for seeking repurchases of loans whose quality was misrepresented. Sifma expressed the views in a letter to the agency responding to a series of possible new securitization rules.
The SEC wants to restore “investor confidence” that so- called representations and warranties will be enforced in the $1.5 trillion market for home-loan bonds without government backing, according to its April proposal.
Debt owners and guarantors in other parts of the mortgage market may be finding it easier to reduce losses by forcing repurchases and rescinding insurance, leading bondholders to begin to seek greater action. A group with more than $500 billion, coordinating through a Dallas lawyer, sent letters to bond trustees seeking their help. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York also said Aug. 4 it is trying to exercise “our rights as investors” after taking on debt through its bailouts.
Bondholders are concerned that the conflicts of interest of mortgage servicers, which must help identify claims on their behalf and are often owned by lenders, “can cloud the prospect that the interests of investors will be aggressively represented as required,” the Association of Mortgage Investors, a trade group, said in a July 31 comment letter.
The SEC’s 667-page proposal revamping its Regulation AB preceded a broader financial overhaul signed into law last month that requires a number of mostly separate changes to the market in which loans and leases are packaged into bonds after mortgage debt helped cause the worst financial crisis since the 1930s.
Under the agency’s proposal, when lenders or securities issuers refuse to repurchase loans that bond trustees say may violate their contractual representations, they would need to have an independent firm review the decision and investors would have to be informed.
‘Credit Risk Manager’
Both AMI, an investor-only group formed this year that represents bondholders with about $300 billion of asset-backed debt, and Sifma, whose members also include money managers, say the SEC should put aside that plan.
Instead the agency should require deals to include what both groups called a “credit risk manager” that would be able to launch investigations into loan quality either at its own discretion or upon the suggestion of investors, they said. They each recommended allowing investors with less than 25 percent of deals to seek probes only if they offered to cover the costs, which otherwise would be taken out of income from the underlying debt.
Sifma’s proposal in its Aug. 2 letter contrasted with the one offered by the investor group by saying disputes between the credit risk manager and debt sellers on whether repurchases are required should be settled in arbitration. The AMI didn’t address disagreements.
Fighting With Lenders
Bond guarantors including MBIA Inc. (MBI) and Ambac Financial Group Inc. (ABKFQ) are fighting lenders such as Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM) units in court over what they call ineligible loans. Items such as faulty appraisals, inflated borrower incomes and missing documentation can trigger contract provisions that require repurchases or void loan-insurance coverage.
The Mortgage Bankers Association’s members involved in residential lending also objected to the SEC’s proposal, though didn’t offer an alternative.
The Washington-based group “is concerned that the proposed requirement could increase the rate of repurchase claims, and possibly generate strategic or frivolous claims,” it said in a comment letter dated Aug. 2. “The cost associated with these additional risks would ultimately be passed on to the consumer.”
The American Securitization Forum suggested that the SEC could exempt deals that use a process similar to what Sifma suggested from the SEC’s proposed rule on appointing an independent firm to review and report on repurchase decisions. The group said it understands that the SEC is reluctant to create rules that aren’t “disclosure-based.”
The ASF, which was affiliated with Sifma until last year and whose members include underwriters, issuers, investors, lawyers and credit-rating firms, said that investors and issuers disagree on what should trigger automatic reviews of loan files by the third-party monitor.
Having such outside parties involved in deals isn’t a new idea. Shelton, Connecticut-based Clayton Holdings Inc., the largest provider of due diligence on loans that Wall Street banks were packaging into bonds before the market froze, was also contracted to look for opportunities to force repurchases and do other “surveillance” on almost $500 billion of debt used in mortgage securities.
In April, in the only non-agency securitization of new U.S. mortgages in more than two years, sponsor Redwood Trust Inc. received stronger rights than found in past deals to seek repurchases of the loans, which were made by Citigroup Inc., according to Moody’s Investors Service. Redwood, which bought the junior-ranked bonds, was a “vested party with an interest in discovering breaches and pursuing them,” Moody’s analyst Navneet Agarwal said then.

Kangaroo Mother Care:
Restoring the Original Paradigm for Infant Care and Breastfeeding
Austin TX USA
From: LEAVEN, Vol. 37
No. 5, October-November 2001, pp. 106-107.
Nils Bergman is a public health physician and medical superintendent at Mowbray Maternity Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa. He has extensive experience with kangaroo care in a hospital setting. By putting breastfeeding into a biological, evolutionary, and anthropological context, he defined what he termed an "original" paradigm for infant care and breastfeeding. He also described how kangaroo care fits this original paradigm and the role that health care technology should play in the care of premature infants.
Dr. Bergman began by defining for us the term paradigm: a set of basic assumptions, a worldview, or a belief system. He emphasized that a paradigm is determined by things such as tradition, culture, and experience more than science or research. By looking at commonalities of breastfeeding behavior in all mammals, an "original" paradigm for infant care and breastfeeding can be extrapolated, as opposed to one based on current cultural traditions.
To develop an original paradigm, Dr. Bergman referred to biologists' concept of "habitat and niche." The niche refers to behaviors related to four basic needs - oxygen, warmth, nutrition and protection - which must be met through the habitat. Dr. Bergman summarized research that indicates that the human newborn's natural habitat is maternal-infant skin-to-skin contact. All newborn mammals that have been studied exhibit a sequence of behaviors that leads to the initiation of breastfeeding. The newborn's actions elicit a set of care-taking responses from the mother. He emphasized that breastfeeding is a niche, or set of preprogrammed behaviors, which the mammalian newborn exhibits that are appropriate for its habitat. Thus in the newborn habitat, the newborn gets oxygen through the air, warmth and protection through skin-to-skin contact with the mother, and nourishment through breastfeeding.
The neonatal attachment process is easily disturbed. Separation of the newborn from its mother causes "protest-despair behavior," which involves stress hormones, the adrenergic (sympathetic) nervous system, and certain somatic or muscular behaviors. The protest response involves distress cries and other behaviors that indicate the newborn recognizes he is in the wrong habitat. The despair response involves withdrawal, a slowed heart rate, and lower body temperature along with increases in stress hormones, presumably as a means of prolonging survival outside the habitat. Once the newborn is restored to its correct habitat (the mother), heart rate and temperature rises, and stress hormones are reduced. Thus the habitat-niche concept requires a paradigm whereby the mother and infant are seen as a dyad. Dr. Bergman added, "Breastfeeding's worst enemy is separation."
Anthropologists theorize humans appear to be born about one year "too early." For many mammals, brain size at birth is about 80 percent of adult size, whereas that of humans is about 25 percent. Humans don't achieve 80 percent of adult brain size until approximately 21 months gestational age or 12 months postpartum. It has been suggested that this is an evolutionary compromise to the narrowed pelvic structure of humans as they began walking on two legs: the human newborn completes its gestational brain growth outside of the womb. The correct habitat or place for this is being in skin-to-skin contact with the mother, with breastfeeding providing the human milk that is uniquely adapted to the needs of the human infant's "immaturity." Up to a point, prematurity can be thought of as an early transition to a habitat that is already designed to cope with human infants' immaturity.
Dr. Bergman also went through the anthropological evidence and arguments that human babies should be cared for by what is called "carry care," a theme shared in James McKenna's luncheon talk the same day ("The Society Who Mistook Their Children For Bats? A Bio-Cultural Perspective on Human Infancy and Parenting"). This includes almost continuous carrying of the infant, cosleeping of mother and infant, immediate nurturant response, frequent to continuous feeding, and breastfeeding for a period of two years or more. It is only relatively recent in our history that care patterns in Western society have evolved away from "carry care" to one of "cache care," where the infant is left lying still, feedings are scheduled, typical of "nesting care," and infants are expected to sleep alone. Dr. Bergman argues that it is the current paradigm of separation of the infant from its mother that has turned prematurity from an early habitat transition into a disease state.
Providing the optimal habitat is even more essential for premature babies than for full term, albeit immature, babies, according to Dr. Bergman. Kangaroo mother care is a practice that provides the natural habitat for newborns. It has significantly improved survival rates for premature infants in many settings. A general definition of kangaroo mother care includes three main components: skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and support. The form of support is variable, depending upon the context. For a full-term infant, support could be provided by the father, family, or health care workers, who ensure that there is no separation of mother and infant and that breastfeeding can take place. For premature infants, support may include advanced health care technology. He emphasized that technological support should be in addition to what he called "humanity," maintenance of the mother-infant dyad, not a replacement for humanity. In his experience, infants more than 32 weeks gestational age do well without advanced technology using kangaroo mother care.
We saw a live demonstration of how babies are worn by "kangarooing" mothers in Cape Town. The baby, wearing only a diaper, is literally tied onto the mother's bare chest with a strip of cloth that is positioned underneath the baby's ear. This extends the baby's head and neck and prevents obstructive apnea. The mother than wears a special shirt that wraps around and under the baby's bottom to induce flexion, as in utero. The baby is tied tightly enough so that when the mother breathes, she pushes against the baby's chest and stimulates his breathing. Inside the mother's shirt, the baby is in a carbon dioxide-rich environment, which also stimulates breathing. The strip is relaxed every two hours and the baby is fed via breast or whatever means is necessary. For premature babies, this type of kangaroo care is done around the clock. Mothers of premature babies are also encouraged to sleep at a 30 degree angle; this aids breathing and vestibular function.
Since kangaroo mother care fulfills the original paradigm, Dr. Bergman said it is appropriate for full-term infants as well. He is researching how long kangaroo care is needed for newborns, but speculates that about six hours after birth may be long enough for the baby to stabilize physiologically, and to initiate the maternal care response. He also suggests that around six weeks of age the baby may be ready to move beyond the neonatal habitat of mother's chest in skin-to-skin contact. Usually by then the baby has better head control, breastfeeding is established, and the mother is recovered from the birth.
Dr. Bergman concluded by expanding the habitat theory to humans as they develop from infancy to adulthood, with their habitat expanding from mother's chest, to being carried, to home, to village or community, country, and the world. Thank you, Dr. Bergman, for an interesting and informative talk

After watching your video that you’ve just posted on Youtube, in which you seem frustrated, fed up and angry, highlighting that you no longer have a life, you keep getting arrested, you have court case after court case, your wife has been arrested, your house has been raided, you’ve done eight days in remand, you’ve served three days in a swiss jail, you believe the Metropolitan police have stitched you up, you have outstanding mortgage payments (which you can’t pay) and your EDL supporters are turning against you – I’d like to ask you a simple question: do you still want to do this?
You mention in your video that you’re “fuc**** fed up”, you also say “you don’t want to be the person doing this”. Your supporters are becoming disgruntled, too.
Let me be clear: I hold no hatred against you, I wish the best for every human being. In life, we all have our personal challenges that we must confront. It’s a shame that you’ve managed to land yourself in this unfortunate position, you clearly don’t want this life anymore, but, as you say, you’re now in it for the rest of your life. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Not only have you become a victim of hatred by many people because of you far-right rhetoric since you became leader of the EDL. But you became the victim of the far-right media, Islamophobes and the huge tide of Islamophobia following 9/11 and 7/7, which led you into thinking that Islam is a religion worth fighting. It’s not. In this video you admit that you “don’t need to learn about Sharia. I’ve seen all I need to see…from the internet.” Stephen, the internet isn’t always reliable. (I’ve written a short piece about Sharia here, I’d advise you to read it).
Last week’s EDL demonstration at Walthamstow, saw a counter protest by people of all ethnicities, cultures and religions. There were white, black and Asian people all showing that they are united – and Islam isn’t the enemy. The real enemy, they felt, are those who seek to denigrate the harmless practitioners of the Islamic faith.
Stephen, you no longer have to be the enemy of the British public. Quit now, you’ll find plenty of forgiving souls. But as long as you continue to tweet things like: “Kids go 2 fancy dress parties as pirates who were killers,liars & cheats! Will kids in 20yrs go 2 fancy dress parties as Muslims then?” “I went into the Library and asked if they had any books on murder, rape & genocide and the librarian gave me the Koran!!!” “To my muslim followers. 50 percent of you marry your cousins. Give me a rt if your one of those that ended up f****** there cousin.” Tweeting these sort of things are provocative, gratuitous and needless.
You say that you receive death threats, but it’s not surprising that you do, your rhetoric is bound to inflame hatred against you and some people are obviously going to react over-zealously.
Your views about Islam and Muslims aren’t based on anything concrete or factual; yes, there are many Muslims who have abused you, but they are not representative of all British Muslims. Instead, your views have been highly influenced by those whose interests are in distorting the image of Islam and Muslims, namely the media and some high-profile people, who profit of the back of it.
Before you became leader of the EDL, you had a portfolio of houses and a tanning salon. You now have your bank accounts frozen, you’re under financial restraint, you admit that you broke up with your wife before last week’s demo, some EDL members are departing into splinter groups and your party have no funding.
It’s time to stop and realise the reality of the situation. You’ve been fooled, as have countless other people. Open your eyes and your heart.
I don’t know how many people I speak for when I say, if you desist from what you’re doing, stop spewing hatred and apologise for the wrong you’ve done, I will support you from now on. Not only will I do that, but I’ll fight all those who continue to fight against you (the Quran commands people to fight against those who oppress others).
The choice is yours. Life is short. This may be your last chance.
Your brother in humanity,

Why walk when you can run?
Why run when you can fly?
Why fly when you can glide?
Why glide when you can soar?
Words of wisdom from 12-year-old Jesse Brittain, a young man who received a standing ovation after sharing his poem at the Philadelphia Union Foundation's second annual "Cocktails and Cleats" gala.
Jesse is one of more than 2,000 children who have benefitted from the foundation's work in recent years.
The foundation's goal is to serve local youth with opportunity, and "Cocktails and Cleats" is an event that raises funds for those programs while doubling as a celebration of past achievement in the community.
"All of the feedback has been just wonderful," said Rick Jacobs, the executive director of the Philadelphia Union Foundation. "We were so excited with the turnout, almost 500 people. The venue and the excitement I think has just been exponentially greater than it was last year, and last year was a super event."
The reception hall at Vie was a veritable "who's who" of local soccer personalities, featuring all members of the Union first team, plus the technical staff, sponsors and donors.
Union CEO and operating partner Nick Sakiewicz adressed the crowd on hand and in the aftermath of the event provided the following remarks:
"All anyone has to do is listen to the children of Chester at last night's event to understand the profound positive impact the Philadelphia Union Foundation is making in Chester and the Greater Philadelphia region," said Union CEO and operating partner Nick Sakiewicz. "I would like to personally thank our partners and all those involved that made sure that this night was and continues to be the hallmark of our many footprints in the community at large as we continue to grow the sport of soccer and improve the lives of the next generation of children in the city of Chester."
The cocktail hour featured a silent auction, with items ranging from Philadelphia Eagles and Flyers gear to a signed Schalke 04 jersey.
Comcast SportsNet anchor Amy Fadool hosted the evening program, which incorporated a live auction, various presentations, and a "chalk talk" question and answer session with manager John Hackworth, Maurice Edu, and Sebastien Le Toux. The Foundation still awaits the final figures to see just how successful the night was in terms of raising funds, but what the event did to raise awareness was priceless.
"We worked really hard to take what we learned from last year's event, which was a good event, but we wanted it to be a great event," said foundation chairman Michael Curry. "I think tonight we nailed it. One, I believe the program was really appropriate. You heard a lot of the themes, such as "celebrate," and what we're here for is the kids. Everything went back to the kids and the programs that support them in their communities. I think that was successful. But most importantly, and Nick Sakiewicz got right to the point early, is that we're here to raise money to support those programs. We had a really good night."
In addition to the fundraising effort, two local figures were honored for their contributions to the Philadelphia soccer community.
Bob Kozlowski was presented with the 2014 "Building Blocks Award."
Kozlowski has served the soccer community in various capacities for more than 30 years. He coordinated youth soccer leagues for the Philadelphia Department of Recreation. He's a former College Referee of the Year, with decades of experience at the collegiate, high school, and youth level.
Additionally, Kozlowski was on one of the original committees that attempted to bring Major League Soccer to Philadelphia. He also started the "Coats for Chester Campaign, " an annual collection that provides for local families in need.
"I've been around a long time and I actually wanted to thank the Union for bringing this team here," Kozlowski said. "I was on a couple of committees to bring a team to Philly and it never happened. It's just something that the people can take hold of. It's great because it raises the level of play with the kids. Anticipation, effort, everything - it gives them something to shoot for. You have a place to go to see top quality soccer and you have all of the extra activities that the Union does for the community."
Legendary American defender Walter Bahr received the "Lifetime Achievement Award."
A longtime captain of the United States Men's National Team, Bahr assisted on the goal that sank England in the 1950 World Cup.
That 1-0 result is still considered one of the biggest upsets in sporting history.
He moved on to coaching and compiled an astounding 448-137-70 record during coaching stints with Penn State, Temple, and Frankford High School.
"This was a terrific night," Bahr said. "When I played, the top salary was something like 25 dollars a game. And I was only making 50 dollars a month teaching school. That was a nice supplement to my pay. They've always said, in another five years soccer is going to be on top, but it's never happened. Now I think it's on its way. With the television money backing (the sport), with the exposure that they're getting, games from Europe on television, games from South America, they're watching better examples play the game. Eventually, they'll become much better."
In a way, Bahr and Kozlowski provide an example for the young children that benefit from the foundation's work.
A brief glance at their resumes shows what can be achieved by providing for youth programs and continuing to build the modern day soccer community in Philadelphia.
"If you think of any organization, any person, anybody who has done something over time, history is a key component, isn't it?" Curry said. "It's understanding that history and how to build on it. When you bring in people like Bob or Walter, who are just so distinguished in their contributions to the soccer community, legends like Walter have done so many things that we dream of doing. Those types of people inspire us. Bringing them here was to do two things: provide that inspiration, and set an example and show people that here are two people who are trying to accomplish what we all want to accomplish. Most importantly, and I think Walter did it really, really well, was say, 'hey, there are a lot of similarities between my youth and the support I had as a young soccer player, and what you're doing here for the kids in Chester'. I think that was a powerful message for everyone."

The American pianist, composer, teacher, and editor, Moissaye Boguslawski, was born in Chicago of musical Russian parentage. His father and grandfather, both musicians, were victims of Russian political rigor and fled to America to escape further persecution. His mother also was musical and her youthful ambition was to become an opera singer. When her son was born she transferred her ambition to him, hoping and praying that he would become a real musician. When he was 4 years old she persuaded his father to buy an old square piano, and he began to take lessons - one lesson a week, at fifty cents each, which was all the family could afford. The period of his childhood and youth was a dire struggle with poverty, which he won through only by his own dogged perseverance. When ten years old he began to go with his father to play at weddings. At 15 he was playing the piano in one of Chicago's cheap dance halls for from eight to twelve hours at a stretch - meanwhile keeping up his practice at home. A little later he managed, by doing without everything but the bare necessities of life, to take some lessons from Rudolph Ganz, who was then sojourning in Chicago for a time - the only really worth-while instruction he ever had.
Having already done a good deal of teaching, he obtained when 20 years old an appointment as head of the piano department of the Kansas City Conservatory of Music. While holding that position he began to give recitals, and gradually his reputation as an exceptionally able pianist spread throughout the Middle West and Southwest. In 1916 he made his first visit to the East and won glowing tributes from the leading critics in New York, Boston, and other cities. Since then he appeared as soloist with many of the best orchestras (such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Detroit Symphony Orchestra and Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra), and concertized throughout the USA with steadily growing acclaim. He had joint concerts with Calve, Scotti and others. He recorded for Duo-Art and Welte-Mignon; on the radio: WIND, Gary, Ind. He was professor of piano playing at Chicago Musical College (degree of Honorary Mus. D.), and taught also at the Bush Conservatory. Later he was head of Boguslawski College of Music.
In addition to his career as a pianist and education, Moissaye Boguslawski was prominent as a composer. His compositions include: Hungarian Rhapsodie No. 1, Venetian Boat Song, Valse Russe, Frog's Frolic, Sunny Italy, Little Jumbo, Donkey Ride, Tambourines and Castanets, French Soldier's March, Old Tick Tock, Chatter Box, Russian Danse, Ballet Dancer, Tango; other works for piano (published by M. M. Cole Co.); Overture to a Carnival, for orchestra.
Moissaye Boguslawski was editor of: Piano Play Books and Coles Library of Familiar Piano Music, in collaboration with Lillian Boguslawski (published by Cole). Strauss Waltzes, Kohler Piano Method, Library of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, others (published by Cole Co.). He also wrote many articles for leading publications on the psychological and therapeutic effects of music. He is regarded as an authority in this field and has been quoted by such psychologists as Walter Pitkin, and Dr. Kimball Young of the University of Wisconsin. He contributed to Who Is Who in Music (1940-1941 Edition).

As I said in my last post, the event works like this: each day, a new free PNR short story gets added to the Advent calendar page. We wanted these stories to be truly free, so we are not asking for newsletter sign-ups or social media follows. You can just stop by the page each day and download a new story. (Short stories from previous days will also stay available until the end of the event, in case you miss a day.) Some of the stories are holiday stories, but a lot of them are not.
I’m contributing two books to the calendar. Hunger Moon went live a couple of weeks ago, and today Aurelia and the Three Bodyguards joins the calendar. You’ll also find books from previous days by Anna Lowe, Julia Mills, Kate Rudolph, Skye Jones, Misha Carver, Lia Davis, and Bethany Shaw, among others.
Next up: I’m editing on His Dragon Heart, a long shifter romance novella set in the Colliding Worlds series that tells the story of Gillian (Keira’s sister) and the dragon shifter Damon, who kidnapped Gillian at the beginning of Her Scottish Alpha. I’m also working on the rough draft of Long Night’s Moon, the next book in the Mad Wolf’s Harem series.
Werewolf Jennalynn discovers the perfect way to ruin a job...find out her competition is her mate. And worse, a vampire. Thrown together, they team up, not knowing that hidden danger lurks.
Latest White Fir Bend Cult Release
Army Ranger and bear shifter Tiger Kane wants to rescue his mother from the cult he grew up in. BBW and cougar shifter Dr. Piper Holmes finds herself trapped in the same cult compound. Thrown together, Kane and Piper develop an uneasy alliance, neither one sure who they can trust as the web of the cult leader tightens around them.

After three straight 2-0 wins over Swansea City, Aston Villa and Norwich City, Hammers boss Sam Allardyce whisked his squad away to the Middle East.
Collins, a key figure in the Hammers' backline which has kept 13 clean sheets in the league, is adamant the trip has done the players a world of good having been under huge pressure for that crucial run of fixtures.
"It was nice, obviously we were under a lot of pressure going into the last three or four games," the Welshman said.
"To get away and get a bit of sun on your back was nice.
"Doing a bit of training there in the sunshine and getting the squad together and have a bit of banter was great."
Despite struggling for the majority of the campaign, the Hammers' defence has been one of the hardest to breakdown in the division.
Though the upturn in results has helped the east Londoners rise up to 11th place, Collins feels not a lot has changed.
"I don't think a lot. We have got 13 clean sheets during the whole season, we have been defending well," Collins added.
"Obviously there has been the odd game where we have let three or four in, which is going to happen with the quality in the Premier League.
“We have got to try and get as many points as we can”James Collins
"We have defended reasonably well all season, it was the other end where we were struggling to score goals.
"But that has turned around, Kev's bang in-form and obviously Andy [Carroll] is back now."
Ahead of the home match with Southampton, Collins remains focussed on maintaining the Hammers' Premier League status but admitted a repeat of last season's 10th place finish would resemble a remarkable turnaround.
"We have got to try and get as many points as we can. We are still not safe, that is the main objective," Collins said.
"If we could finish around that area where we finished last year, from the start that would be an unbelievable season."

At the Iranian Petrochemical Investment and Development Conference in Vienna, Mohammad Khazaei, head of Organization for Investment, Economic, and Technology Assistance of Iran (OIETAI), pointed out the various benefits of investing in Irans petrochemicals, emphasizing that the issue of the resumption of sanctions has been solved completely.
(SHADA: TEHRAN) -- Khazaei told the representatives of European companies that all the things about snapback have been completely solved and there is no problem at the moment, and we are entering a new phase which is a success for the Iranian economy.
He said Iran is a stable land in the region and added: "We now see capital transfers from the countries of the region to Iran due to the unstable situation in some countries of the region and Iran is a good place to invest and cooperate financially."
"In 2016, for the first time in Iran's history, we have issued guarantees for about $12 billion in Iran, which has never been so high in the past," said the head of OIETAI, adding: "The level of foreign investment registered in Iran is unique; although it may not be as good as the size of the Iranian economy, it is really very significant compared to the past."
"We are ready to expand our engagement with foreign companies in various fields, including purchasing equipment and technology, providing public-private partnership (PPP) projects, as well as accepting any foreign investment; but it is necessary to remind that in today's economy an active credit line is required. European countries, such as Austria, have taken the necessary steps to create new credit lines and finance to enhance trade relations with Iran."
"I am glad to inform you that, in addition to Austria, we have been negotiating with countries such as Denmark, Italy, Britain and Germany, and outside Europe with China, South Korea and Japan, and have reached agreement on financing; and soon we will sign large credit lines with these countries," he noted.
Khazaei pointed to various advantages for foreign investment in Iran's petrochemical sector and said: You know well that investment in the petrochemical sector is important for Iran, and it can be argued that no industry can do without relying on chemical industries and this is the government's policy to invest in petrochemical industries.
He further referred to the abundance of oil and gas reserves along with the vast market of consumption and the unique geographic location of Iran as factors of attractiveness of investment in Iran's petrochemical sector, and said: Due to Iran's good trade ties with the countries of the region, there is good context for foreign investment in Iran and the export of products to other countries of the region; when we issue a guarantee for foreign investment, if the investor chooses to export its products outside of Iran, this issue is also mentioned in the guarantee, so the government provides all the facilities needed to do this.
Referring to the improvement of the economic situation of Iran in recent years, such as economic growth, reduction of inflation, and social progress, he said that this is a good environment for economic cooperation and foreign investment.
Inflation control has begun in Iran before the nuclear deal, which shows that Iran's economic capacity is even possible in difficult circumstances, Khazaei stated.

I had a contact that could get a Wisconsin title on an untitled bike for about $300. That's how I got Dave D's bike titled. Sounds like this could be a pretty decent deal for somebody.

Believe it or not, there are high performance
motherboards out there for Intel's latest and greatest CPUs which don't have an Intel chipset at their heart. Top of that list is the nVidia nForce 680i, and it not only supports 1066MHz FSB processors but also the new breed of 45nm 'Penryn' 1333MHz FSB CPUs. In fact nVIDIA had an Intel motherboard that supported dual videocards and 1333 MHz FSB processors well before Intel ever released its P35 or X38 chipsets.
That's all well and good for the techno-history buffs, but what really makes
the MSI P6N Diamond motherboard and its shinny little nVidia 680i chipset stand
out is SLI. None of this dual videocard stuff limited to just ATI Crossfire. nVidia chipset means nVidia SLI, and
no matter which side of the red/green fence you're on its hard to look past the
popularity of the Geforce 8600GTS and Geforce 8800GTS videocards. Teamed up into a pair and
running SLI on an Intel Core 2 Duo processor just sweetens the pot.
As if all this wasn't enough, the MSI P6N Diamond gets away with affordable,
abundant, inexpensive DDR2 memory. One look at the price of enthusiast grade DDR3
memory has probably put you off any motherboards that rely on the stuff.
It's great to see a 1333MHz FSB motherboard tuned for performance that can
run with memory not priced into the stratosphere.
Now that you know the important points, lets get down to the specs on the MSI
P6N Diamond motherboard in a little more detail.
The MSI P6N Diamond is an Intel socket 775 motherboard that supports Core 2
Duo/Quad/Extreme and processors running on a 533/800/1066/1333
MHz Front Side Bus. That covers all Intel CPUs back to the Pentium D. Chipsets are the heart of the P6N Diamond, and this
board is based on to very solid performers; the nVIDIA nForce
680i northbridge and nForce 590i southbridge. That puts a pile of PCI
Express lanes at your feet, allowing dual
SLI videocards to run in x16/x16 or quad PCI Express x16 videocards to run in x8/x8/x8/x8 mode.
A quintet of DDR2 memory slots support the
usual 8GB of DDR2 533/667/800 RAM, in dual channel mode. Other onboard
goodies are fairly abundant, and top of the list has to be the Creative
Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme 7.1 channel audio controller! Nice. Other standard
bits of kit include dual Gigabit network jacks, IEEE 1394 Firewire, seven
internal Serial ATA II Ports with the option of configuring RAID (0,1.0+1,5,JBOD), an eSATA
jack at the rear, a pile of USB2.0 headers, and a coaxial SPDIF audio output.
The MSI P6N Diamond uses pair of copper heatsinks interconnected by
a heatpipe to keep the chipsets running at the appropriate temperature.
Motherboard longevity is enhanced by using only solid-state aluminum capacitors.
There are no electrolytic capacitors on this board to burst or leak electrolyte down the road. All this will set you back in
the neighborhood of $215 CDN ($227 US, £109 GBP). Compared to a high end
Intel P35 Express or X38 Express motherboard the MSI P6N Diamond is
quite affordable. Plus, Intel P35 based motherboards don't give you the
option of running Quad SLI now do they? ;-)
The MSI P6N Diamond is a highly integrated ATX motherboard, but we really like
that expansion slots are still very plentiful. There are four physical PCI
Express x16 slots, one PCI Express x1 and two 32 bit PCI slots for whatever you
need. If you need to use some high bandwidth PCI Express devices, they can be
installed in the available PCI Express x16 slots. The slots may be designed to
function with videocards, but other PCI Express peripherals will operate just
fine in the large slots too.
Like all high end motherboards, with the amount of heat generated just by the nVidia nForce 680i Northbridge and nForce 590i Southbridge chipsets, it's a wise to ensure adequate cooling inside the PC case. Clean out the chipset heatsinks of dust and debris every few months and consider adding an exhaust fan at the rear of the case.
The layout of components on the MSI P6N Diamond
motherboard is good, we didn't experience any significant issues installing
the motherboard in the PCSTATS labs. The only potential hiccup you might come across is the lack of a parallel printer port. On the P6N Diamond it has been traded for a copper cooling fin extending over the MOSFET power circuitry to the I/O area. The I/O shield is even vented to allow warm air to escape the system a little easier.
Should you get lost during installation, MSI does include a fairly detailed user's manual with the motherboard. It'll guide you through the hardware installation process, BIOS setup and even how to configure different levels of nVidia RAID.
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Audio on board
PCSTATS has groaned about the quality of onboard audio
solutions for years, and if you need more audio features and post-processing
than an AC'97 codec can provide you know that standalone sound cards are
important for a variety of reasons. One fo the biggest is offloading CPU
processing time. The MSI P6N Diamond motherboard is blessed with an onboard
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme sound system. This hardware chipset supports 24bit/96kHz 7.1 audio with a signal to noise ratio of >108dB and a total harmonic distortion and noise at 1kHz of 0.006%. Creative's X-Fi technology includes Creative's custom Crystalizer, CMSS-3D Virtual and CMSS-3D Headphone software. Works in Microsoft Vista too.
The Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme supports Digital dts Surround sound as well as DOLBY DIGITAL EX audio decoding. Home entertainment users can appreciate that, particularly when you've connected the PC up to compatible speakers and relaxed into a true home theatre experience.
One thing is for sure, the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi is
a better audio solution than the Intel Azalia High Definition software soundcard most Intel motherboards are equipped with. You don't have to install a third party soundcard if you're using the MSI P6N Diamond! Next up, motherboard highlights and a quick tour of the board before PCSTATS gets into the meaty overclocking tests!

Get an alert when new Scrawl dates are announced
Long before the Riot Grrrl movement opened the floodgates for the widespread emergence of female artists in the male-dominated world of indie rock, the Columbus, Ohio-based trio Scrawl carved out their own tough-minded yet feminine niche within the underground community. Formed by singer/guitarist Marcy Mays, bassist Sue Harshe, and drummer Carolyn O'Leary.

Though it’s unlikely to find any snow outside your home during a Texas winter, that doesn’t mean you can’t embrace the Danish concept of hygge, which has gained popularity in our culture recently. Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah), which means “to cherish oneself; to keep or make oneself snug” is though to be the etymological origin for the English word “hug,” and perfectly describes the embrace that this 1925-built Kessler Square Tudor offers with its loads of cozy details.
I had no problem picturing myself in this listing from Robert Kucharski of David Griffin & Company Realtors, and if you are a fan of spaces that spill over with hygge, you’ll want to nab our High Caliber Home of the Week presented by Lisa Peters of Caliber Home Loans. From the plentiful curb appeal and charm of the entire neighborhood, to the copious amenities this red-brick Tudor offers, you’ll never want to leave your cozy home!
One of the things I love about Kessler Square is the blocks full of charming Tudors. It’s so picturesque and feels like stepping back in time! Designed by George Kessler, this neighborhood is known for its adorable architectural inventory, according to Heritage Oak Cliff:
Kessler Square and Kessler Highlands feature charming brick, stone, and stucco cottages with fanciful chimneys and arched porches. These developments were platted from the wooded lands north and west of older established neighborhoods such as Oak Cliff Annex and Miller-Stemmons. They also continued the established streetcar grid of the surrounding areas.
This particular home has all of the details we love about Tudors, including a large front porch, vine-covered pergola, and steeply pitched rooflines. Once inside, you’ll really see why 1007 N. Edgefield Ave. is cozy — it’s the original details, says Kucharski.
“The home offers an impressive list of details throughout, including a covered front porch that welcomes you and opens the light-filled living room with built-ins and a romantic fireplace,” Those windows flanking the mantle are perfect, too! I can easily imagine drawing up close to the fireplace with my knitting or a book and soaking up those cozy vibes.
But if you think I’m using the word “cozy” as a synonym for “small,” think again. This Kessler Square Tudor has more than 2,200 square feet, four bedrooms, three full baths, two living areas, and an eat-in kitchen. There’s also a pool in the backyard and plenty of important improvements that make this home obviously well cared for, including a new roof, fresh paint throughout. And if that’s not enough, Kucharski says there’s even more opportunities to put your stamp on it.
“This home offers great potential to expand to the second-floor unfinished attic space,” Kucharski said. “A great opportunity to make this your home!”
The updated eat-in kitchen features a lovely tin ceiling, glass-front cabinets granite counters, double ovens, and new cooktop, Kucharski said. “It conveniently adjoins both the dining room and den.”
Through the den, you get your first glimpse at the pool just outside through the French doors. That’s another thing — this home made good using French doors to allow for more light, which makes this Kessler Square Tudor feel incredibly bright and open. That’s a huge challenge for this architectural style!
If you love all of the charm of vintage baths, the master suite doesn’t disappoint! The master suite is large, with a private bath and walk-in closet, Kucharski notes. You’ll also see more built-ins and more French doors, which open to a deck that gives you views of the backyard. It’s incredibly serene!
And here you see how perfectly suited this home is for a family, with a great pool, privacy fence, detached shed, grassy lawn for all those cartwheels you’ll be doing when you move in to this Kessler Square Tudor. Kucharski has listed this gem of a hygge High Caliber Home for $564,500. At that price, you can fill this place with books and cozy chairs for all the wonderful memories you’ll be making.

As Barack Obama struggles to rekindle the magic, one of the most pathetic headlines was the one on a CNN poll last week: “Was Bush Better President Than Obama?”
“Americans are divided over whether President Barack Obama or his predecessor has performed better in the White House,” the CNN article said.
So now the Republican president who bungled wars and the economy and the Democratic president trying to dig us out are in a dead heat?
America’s long-term economic woe has led to short-term memory loss. Republicans are still popular, and the candidates are crazier than ever. And crazy is paying dividends: Sharron Angle, the extreme Republican candidate for the Senate in Nevada, vacuumed up $14 million in the last quarter in her crusade to knock out Harry Reid — the kind of money that presidential candidates dream of collecting.
Karl Rove has put together a potent operation to use anonymous donors to flood the airwaves with attack ads against Democrats. And a gaunt-looking Dick Cheney is out of the hospital and back to raking in money defending torture and pre-emptive war. He, Lynne Cheney, Rove, Sarah Palin, Newt Gingrich and Laura Bush drew more than 10,000 people at $495 a pop to a conference in Bakersfield, Calif., last weekend.
Republicans are also gearing up to start re-sliming Valerie Plame Wilson and Joe Wilson when “Fair Game,” the movie based on their memoirs, opens next month. Robert Luskin, a lawyer for Rove who considered Plame collateral damage and labeled her “fair game,” dismissively told Sheryl Gay Stolberg of The Times that the Wilsons are “a little past their ‘sell-by’ date.”
It’s hard to believe that it was seven years ago when the scandal of the Glamorous Spy and Showboating Ambassador exploded. Joe Wilson first accused the Boy Emperor of not wearing any clothes on the Iraq W.M.D.’s, and then charged the Bush White House with running a “smear campaign” against him and outing his wife as a C.I.A. spy. He was right on all counts and brave to take on a White House that broke creative new ground in thuggery and skulduggery.
But it was child’s play for the Republicans to undermine the former diplomat and the spy who loved him. Wilson was “pretty widely known as a loudmouth,” as the movie’s director Doug Liman put it, and overstepped at times, posing for Vanity Fair in his Jaguar convertible with his wife coyly cloaked in scarf and sunglasses.
While her husband was in his promotional whirlwind, Plame was in her reticent cloud, her air of blonde placidity belying her anguish at being betrayed and her disgust that Cheney Inc. bullied the C.I.A., overriding skepticism about Saddam’s weapons system and warping intelligence.
“It’s called counterproliferation, Jack,” Naomi Watts’s Plame says to her superior. “Counter.”
The movie makes clear that Plame was not merely “a secretary” or “mediocre agent” at the agency, as partisan critics charged at the time, but a respected undercover spy tracking Iraqi W.M.D. efforts.
And it reiterates that Plame did not send her husband, who had worked in embassies in Iraq while Saddam and Bush Senior were in charge and was the ambassador in two African countries, on the fact-finding trip to Niger about a possible Iraqi purchase of 500 tons of yellowcake uranium. She merely acted as an intermediary when a colleague threw his name into the hat for the unpaid gig.
The film creates composites to heighten the tension and suggests that Plame’s Iraqi contacts and their families were murdered once she was outed — a subplot Variety called “apocryphal and manipulative.”
But the movie is a vivid reminder of one of the most egregious abuses of power in history, and there are deliciously diabolical turns by actors playing Scooter Libby, David Addington and Rove. Plame’s C.I.A. bosses are portraits in cravenness, cutting her loose at the moment she starts receiving death threats and her Iraqi sources become endangered.
Liman, who grew up watching his father Arthur’s Buddha-like interrogations during the Iran-Contra hearings, does not use an Oliver Stone sledgehammer on history. He views the scandal through the lens of the Wilsons’ marriage, which snaps for a time under the strain of being hounded by the most powerful men on earth.
(As Valerie writes in her book about Joe’s demand to see Rove “frog-marched out of the White House in handcuffs”: “Husbands. What can you do?”)
Costumed with lush mane and round paunch, Sean Penn is well suited to capture Wilson’s arrogance and mouthiness, while also showing his honesty, brazenness, sly charm and fierce love of wife and country.
They were the Girl and Boy Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest, and we should all remember what flew out.Continue reading the main story

AM Update: Governor Perry Touring North Texas, Nidal Hasan Trial, Assault Suspect Arrested
Governor Perry to Tour Tornado Damaged Areas
Governor Rick Perry is scheduled to take an aerial tour of the Dallas-Fort Worth area damaged by tornadoes today. Perry plans to tour Lancaster, one of the hardest hit areas by the storms, according to the Texas Tribune.
The National Weather Service estimates up to a dozen tornadoes touched down in North Texas on Tuesday—one of those tornadoes was rated an E-F-3 with winds of up to 165 miles-per-hour.
Several American Airlines flights departing to Dallas from Austin have been canceled. You can view Austin Bergstrom International Airport departures online.
Check out personal stories, pictures and updates on the storm damaged areas here.
Hasan's Attorneys Seek a Second Delay
KUT News' Andy Uhler reports attorneys for the Army psychiatrist charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009 are asking for his trial to be postponed a second time.
Major Nidal Hasan’s attorneys already asked for and received one such delay, saying they were still sorting through evidence to mount a defense. The trial was pushed from its originally set date in March to June. Now attorneys are requesting that the court delay again until October, but haven’t said why.
Hasan, accused of opening fire in a soldier-readiness center at Fort Hood on Nov. 5, 2009, is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. He faces the death penalty if convicted.
Man Accused of Assaulting Austin Teen Arrested
A man accused of sexually assaulting and stabbing a 17-year old girl in Dripping Springs in March has been arrested.
The sheriff's office has issued warrants for attempted capital murder, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping, and formal proceedings such as charges will ensue once Griffins is extradited to Hays County.
Willie Griffin, 46, lured a young woman into his car in Austin and sexually assaulted her. He then stabbed her and left her for dead. Police in Hays County responded to an emergency call from a passing motorist who saw the girl on the side of the road.
KUT reported on the story during the initial search for the suspect.

King’s Bounty: Legions takes strategic combat on Facebook to new heights
If you’ve found yourself disillusioned by recent ambitious releases such as Civilization World, take heart–King’s Bounty: Legions is a game that proves you can adapt a beloved classic title for Facebook without sacrificing quality. And in this case, it’s tempting to call the Facebook version every bit as good as the original. Here is a game that demands the right level of strategic competence while sporting beautifully rendered character animations and textures. It doesn’t nickel-and-dime you, it offers satisfying battles every time you play, and it never shies from throwing down the gauntlet of challenge.
Hardcore gamers, this may be the game you’ve been waiting for.
King’s Bounty is probably best known as the Russian stepdaddy of Heroes and Might and Magic, although the franchise regained some prestige of its own with 2008’s King’s Bounty: The Legend. Like these titles, Legions uses turned-based strategy to pit a host of units with different strengths and weaknesses against an enemy team on a field of octagonal spaces. Much of the strategy involved springs from learning which type of ally fights best against a certain type of foe, in addition to using your vast collection of spells and abilities to recover from devastating attacks on the battlefield. And unlike most previous attempts at similar gameplay on Facebook, not a single aspect of the deep combat is abstract and the upper levels get quite challenging. Also, unlike the original King’s Bounty games, you can even devote most of your time to player-versus-player battles. (Although, unfortunately, it’s much easier to battle your friends rather than random people).
But Legions isn’t entirely about combat: there’s also an enjoyable storyline in the single player campaign that chronicles your rise to fame should you choose to read the quest text. The rather enjoyable tutorial gets the narrative ball rolling, and you’ll feel swept up into the excitement once you move past the starting town and begin exploring the world map. Along the way, you’ll visit different towns and locations that all offer entertaining quests centering on a wide range of differing objectives, along with shops that supply rare fighters or magic spells for your growing army. The result is a social game that rarely feels repetitious; especially when you consider that you’ll often feel the need to adjust your troops between each battle.
As with most social games, King’s Bounty has a stamina bar that limits your gameplay on occasion, but its inclusion never feels obnoxious thanks to the fairly lengthy battles that reward even a casual approach to the game. (In fact, PVP battles don’t require energy.) But the fun doesn’t end when you step away from your computer. Like Civilization World, Legions features a form of asynchronous gameplay that allows you to benefit from the game even when you’re not playing, although the version you’ll find here feels more consistently rewarding. Here, you can send out “patrols” that allow your troops to fight in battles, find items, and pick up gold while you’re sleeping other otherwise occupied. Only hour-long patrols are free, however–you’ll have to pay for longer patrols unless you receive them as drops in game.
King’s Bounty: Legions should be considered a landmark title in the struggle to make Facebook games as noteworthy as their PC and console counterparts. Its ambition may be a quiet one, but for a platform that has long passed off random encounters based on stats as strategy, Legions feels like the beginning of a bright new era. If there’s a drawback here, it’s only that the microtransactions you’ll find within Legions‘ boundaries are fairly expensive for what they offer, although Legions never makes it impossible to play the game without them. Most players, I’m sure, will find Legions more than worth weeks of their time regardless, and possibly more rewarding than the franchise on which the game is based. And that’s worth a king’s bounty in itself.

On Tuesday 4 and Wednesday 5 of December our Prep girls gave us a wonderful Christmas treat with 2 Candlelit Carol services, first for Years 3 and 4 on the Tuesday, and then for Years 5 and 6 on the Wednesday.
The girls performed carols and festive songs as part of a group, in smaller ensembles and solo. We also had Christmas readings as well as flute, brass and handbell performances from girls in Year 5 and 6. It was clear to see the girls enjoyed every second, performing with passion and spirit.
A huge well done to all the girls involved, for their energy and enthusiasm after a hard couple of days rehearsals. And a huge well done to our Head of Music, Miss Guy, and her team for their tireless effort and hard work getting the girls ready.

Monsoon Beach Party! Sira des Indes by Jean Patou
Jean Patou, that once great French house of perfumery that has become a subject of controversy in recent years, released “Sira des Indes” about 5 years ago. The official notes are: champaca, banana accord, bergamot, pear, red berries, cardamom, musk, amber, vanilla and sandalwood. After my recent mind-expanding experience with L’Artisan’s PEAR perfume, Mon Numero 1, I couldn’t resist trying a perfume that championed both the loathesome pear, and the banana. Synthetic banana flavor or smell induces severe nausea in me. Seriously. Why? Let’s just say that university students can be tragically experimental, a banana liqueur does in fact exist, and sometimes, students have access to really nasty things like banana liqueur at fraternity parties. You really don’t want to know the rest…
OK, back to Jean Patou. “Sira des Indes” is actually a fabulous summer beach party scent, one of those rare fruity florals for grownups. The red fruits are light and fresh, and pear is crisp and green, and the banana is a natural accord, and very subtly laid on; I really like what it adds to the composition. Cardamom adds a cool note. The heart is full of white champaca, which is lighter and brighter than golden champaca, and the musky drydown is heavier on the vanilla and sandalwood than the amber. It’s more light and transparent than sweet, like a very sheer cotton dress.
This perfume is fun! And girly! I want to go down to our local beach in a hot pink sari when I wear it and dance Bollywood style on the beach with Karan Nath. Maybe this weekend, I will, if I can just find Karan, he’s gotta be on Facebook, right??
So what perfume have you fallen in love with, or like with, that has a list of notes that originally sounded quite vile to you?

A new app is available on the Apple Watch, called Breathe. It’s an app that you will use to do breathing exercises at certain times of the day. This tip shows you how the breathing app works.
Breathe on the Apple Watch
The new Breath app is available in watchOS 3.0, which is available from autumn 2016 for everyone. But now developers can already make use of it. The app lets you do breathing exercises, preferably at least once a day. But you can also just start the app at times when you are stressed. In sessions of one to five minutes, you will see a visualization, which helps you breathe at a comfortable pace. At the same time, you feel pats on your wrist. Afterwards, you get an overview of your heart rate.
Breathing app in use
This is how you use the breathing app
- Launch the app on the Apple Watch.
- Specify how long the session should be. At a session of 1 minute, you breathe 7x.
- The session starts. Follow the instructions on the screen. You get taps on your wrist when you have to breathe.
The results of the breathing exercises can be found in the Health app on the part Mindfulness. This part is available with iOS 10 (available in late 2016) on the iPhone.
Breathing apps for iPhone
You can only use the breathing app if you have watchOS 3.0 installed on your Apple Watch. There is no counterpart for the iPhone, but you can find in the App Store many alternative apps that work well on the iPhone such as Breathe and Calm. Below is a list of mindfulness apps that you can use to better relax and reduce your breathing.

ELLWOOD, Ruth V.
In loving memory of Ruth V. Ellwood (Klemmen). Sept. 3, 1921-April 4. 2008. Ruth was born in Naicam, Sask. and moved to the Abbotsford area when she was six. At the age of 15, she met the love of her life, Gordon, to whom she was married for 65 years.
She is survived by her husband and best friend, Gordon; children, Lynne (Terry) Feser, Denny (Barb) Ellwood, Allan Ellwood and Janice Macdonald; grandchildren, Tricia, Tori, Tarl, Janal, Kevin, Laura, Tyler, Gillian; four great-grandchildren Gralyn, Kordon, Laney Torin; and her sister, Pherne Johnston and family. After graduating from Phillip Sheffield High School, Ruth worked as a nurse at Essondale Hospital and later as a matron at Matsqui Women’s Penitentiary until it closed.
Gordon and Ruth farmed the homestead on Old Yale Road until its sale in 1987, taking time to travel and enjoy their grandchildren. Ruth was a long time member of the Beehive Rebekah Lodge where she made many lasting friendships. Ruth was always ready to share a cup of tea and piece of apple pie or play a game of Rummy with friends or grandchildren. She was deeply loved and respected by all who knew her. She will be sadly missed. Special thanks to the staff at Sherwood Manor for their love, kindness, and support. Services will be held at Woodlawn Funeral Home, 2310 Clearbrook Rd on Friday, April 11, 2008 at 11:00 am.

Reverse psychology is a concept well-known to theatre marketing folk, it seems. Call a season Secret Theatre and everyone will spill the beans and demand to be let in . . . or so they hope.
It could backfire (some people really can keep a secret). In the case of this particular bunch of four plays at Northern Stage, however, I imagine it won’t.
The Secret Theatre season consists of two famous plays – A Streetcar Named Desire and Woyzeck – and two new ones – Chamber Piece by Caroline Bird and Glitterland by Hayley Squires.
Collectively and individually they have been a talking point in London, exciting audiences and reviewers. This is their first trip out of the capital and who wouldn’t want to see what the fuss has been about?
The mastermind behind Secret Theatre is Sean Holmes, artistic director of the Lyric Hammersmith.
The Lyric is a Frank Matcham-designed theatre like our Theatre Royal but its programme is more in line with that of Northern Stage, whose own artistic director, Lorne Campbell, is eager for Secret Theatre to be a badly kept secret.
“The Lyric’s Secret Theatre company is one of the most exciting things to happen in British theatre in recent years,” he says.
“Bringing fresh energy and new thinking to great classic texts and the very best of new writing, they are creating theatre which is accessible and innovative, entertaining and deeply engaging.”
Explaining the new approach, Sean Holmes says: “It’s 10 actors and 10 other artists working together for two years.
“We’ve already done a year so we’ve made these four shows which have been on at the Lyric and are now coming to Newcastle.
“What that gives us, and the RSC is probably the closest thing to it, is a group of people who can bring more than one show out on tour. What we’ve done is make shows for different spaces, both main house and studios.
“It allows an audience to see up to four plays in a fortnight and to see the same actors playing very different parts in different plays.
“I think what that does – what I hope it does – is give the performances a different quality, because it’s a group of people who know each other very well. Also, we have been exploring ways of making the shows more visual.
“While being true to the narrative and making sure the story is clear, we have tried to marry that with a more visual, dynamic and physical European aesthetic.”
Sean says he has directed lots of really good plays by really good writers and “respects the writer as a primary artist”. But he says sometimes this can result in theatre that is “a bit safe and staid” – the opposite of what Secret Theatre was intended to be.
“If I was going to pick one thing that really excites me about Secret Theatre it’s the quality of acting. What audiences really want, I think, is exciting acting when you get to see people doing something that surprises you.”
Sean says he assembled a relatively young company of actors to capitalise on “youthful energy”, picking those who didn’t glaze over or look scared when the challenge ahead was explained.
“What is really exciting about coming to Newcastle is that Lorne Campbell has been really supportive and Northern Stage is perfect because it has the main house and also the studio spaces,” he says.
“People are welcome to come and see one of the plays but the icing on the cake would be if they came to to see more than one to see how the same actor tackles very different roles.”
Seasoned Newcastle theatre-goers will not find the idea of an acting ensemble too strange.
The Royal Shakespeare Company came here for many years, with actors darting between various venues and costumes (in 2002, Sean’s brilliant RSC production of The Roman Actor was a Northern Stage hit). We also saw Alan Lyddiard’s Northern Stage Ensemble multi-tasking for several years before the funding dried up.
It turns out that Secret Theatre was a response to refurbishment work at the Lyric Hammersmith which put the main auditorium temporarily out of bounds. “I suppose the least creative thing in the world is if you’ve got adequate funding and no concerns at all,” confesses Sean.
If the Newcastle residency is a success, it might be repeated elsewhere. This is what’s in store for us . . .
A Streetcar Named Desire (Tennessee Williams)
“It’s a play that has been done in the same way in this country ever since it was first performed in 1947,” says Sean Holmes.
“Everyone speaks with a New Orleans accent. Let’s call it poetic naturalism.
“We’ve done a production that is faithful to the story but we have made it very fresh and surprising and, I think, more powerful.
“I think we have released it from the pressures of the film and Marlon Brando.
“I think the period is, in some ways, the least interesting thing about the play. We haven’t given the characters mobile phones or anything but I think we have found ways to make it contemporary.
“If none of your actors is, visually, a natural to play Blanche, Stella or Stanley, you have to look at the play differently.”
Woyzeck (Georg Büchner)
The German playwright’s final work was unfinished when he died in 1837.
It tells the tragic tale of a soldier, the Franz Woyzeck of the title, who lives with his wife and illegitimate child and whose life starts to unravel after he agrees to take part in some medical experiments.
It ends tragically, so far as it does end, and it remained unperformed for years. Subsequently, it has fuelled countless productions and become a classic.
“It’s quite a fragmented play but we’ve made something very visual out of it,” says Sean.
“Lots of people have attempted to finish the play but it’s a curious thing, perhaps more of an event than anything else.
“We have tried to make a sensory experience out of it and I think audiences have responded to that, finding it quite exciting.”
Chamber Piece (Caroline Bird)
This, from an up-and-coming writer, is decribed by Sean as “a really dark black comedy set in a slightly alternative Britain where the death penalty still exists.
“It looks at what happens if someone who’s meant to die doesn’t.”
He suggests: “There’s quite a lot of Joe Orton in the way events spin out of control and there is a big twist at the end.
“The play was very successful in London. It’s a dark subject but I think people found it really rewarding.”
Sean says the play is performed at quite a lick, which has had a knock-on effect. After the cast went straight from Chamber Piece to A Streetcar Named Desire, the Tennessee Williams play reached its final curtain 10 minutes earlier than normal.
Glitterland (Hayley Squires)
It’s loosely based, according to advance publicity, on The White Devil – John Webster’s revenge tragedy looking at sex, death and corruption in high places.
But it doesn’t matter if you know the Jacobean play or not, according to Sean, who says the Squires play is set in a world with a clear connection between Hollywood and the political system – as under the American presidency of JF Kennedy, who was serenaded on his birthday by a breathy Marilyn Monroe.
One critic called Glitterland “a thick slice of slick pulp fiction”.
This production would seem to benefit from the off-stage half of the Secret Theatre company, including the set and lighting designers.The four Secret Theatre plays are being performed at Northern Stage on various dates between June 4 and 14.

Great investors are individuals that can identify opportunities where others see challenges. They can identify opportunities in the storm or rain. Nigeria as a country has its ups and downs. But there are a plethora of reasons investing in the nation is a wise decision.
That said if you have been nursing the idea of investing in Nigeria, then this article is for you. In this post, you will understand why Nigeria remains one of the ideal destinations for foreign investors and things you haven’t given a second thought. These are tips from an insider, and just so you know, many international investors are flourishing in the country.
Here are seven of the many reasons Nigeria is an ideal destination for foreign investors. Read on!
Mouthwatering Incentives for international investors
If nothing appeals to you about investing in Nigeria, then the incentives should. The Nigerian government wants you to enjoy doing business in Nigeria like you are in your home country even though you are a foreigner. The incentives are numerous and encouraging. It is the government’s way of assisting international investors as seen in the Nigeria Investment Promotion Commission Act.
What are the incentives?
First, foreign investors are free to repatriate all their profits and dividend back to their home country. They are also given 100% ownership of their companies, although this does not apply in the oil and gas sector.
Other mouthwatering incentives include
- Favorable Companies Income Tax
- Free Trade Zones
- Pioneer Status Grants
- Tax relief for development and research projects and more
An abundance of Natural Resources
If you still not convinced Nigeria is great country to invest, check out the list of natural resources available. In fact, if you are thinking of investing in solid minerals, Nigeria is one of the African countries to visit. She has tons of natural resources, but the amazing thing is that most of these solid minerals are not fully explored. Here is a quick list of mineral resources that Nigeria has;
- Iron ore
- Natural gas
Also, Nigeria has a vast amount of arable land which makes it great for agribusiness investors. Agricultural products that thrive well in Nigeria include palm oil, groundnuts, cocoa, coconut, cassava, livestock and others too numerous to mention.
Nigeria is also one of the most significant oil (fossil fuel) producers in the world which creates a massive inflow of foreign investment for the region. In addition to oil, Nigeria is also booming in industries like textile and leather.
Large population size and consumer market
Investors who have the interest to produce and sell in Nigeria have great opportunity to achieve massive success given the population size of the country. Nigeria currently has a population size of 198 million people which grows at about 2.6 percent.
The population growth of the most populous African country, Nigeria, is not the only thing that should interest you as an investor. The population structure also should. Over 75 percent of the populace is under 30 years of age which shows the region has a good number of working population and a healthy growth picture that shows the future would be brighter.
How does population size lead to benefit for investors?
A report made available on the Investment U indicates that Nigeria has one of the largest domestic markets in the continent given its population size. And this clearly shows that goods and services domestically produced will always be in hot demand in the country. So investors can get good returns on their investments without even going through the rigors of exporting their products. Again, the middle-class population is growing which means the consumer market will always expand.
Great economic growth potential
Nigeria for decades ranked among the top three destinations conducive to foreign direct investments in the whole of the continent. Its GDP also remains one of the talking points and has grown steadily even in the wake of economic challenges which significantly affected other country’s economy.
The government is also working tirelessly to create policies that would favor foreign investment. And with several agricultural transformational policies in place, the country’s growth rate is expected to surpass other destinations around the globe.
Nigeria’s infrastructure has dramatically improved compared to what we have in other African regions. There has been a significant improvement in the areas of transportation, communication, water supply, and electricity. Extensive road maintenance, repairs, and construction of new ones is a yearly activity. State governments even go as far as using their state allocations on projects that would enhance their state’s infrastructure.
Nigeria, on the other hand, has a good road network that makes transportation and the movement of goods a breeze. The country also has 4 international airports – Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Abuja, as well as 6 well-equipped seaports. The opening of several inland dry ports is also another giant stride by the government which will create more opportunities, boosts trade and the economy.
Rock solid banking and financial sector
The Nigeria government, in 2009, took a giant step to strengthen the banking sector. The number of banks allowed to operate where reduced and most of them merged during the process to become more efficient. Another step that strengthened the industry the more was the increase in bank’s minimal capital. The Nigeria Stock exchange is also performing well not just the banking sector.
The banking sector in Nigeria is highly competitive with different banks looking for how to make transactions swift for their customers. The introduction of mobile and internet banking have also made transactions swift and convenient. Also, Nigeria banks invest heavily in security to ensure customers get the best services.
Despite few regional crises, Nigeria’s political environment is stable and conducive to do business. The country’s apex electoral body, Independent National Electoral Commission saddled with the responsibility of conducting elections, organized what was regarded as the country’s first most successful elections in 2011. Other polls conducted in subsequent years have been peaceful, free and fair. Corruption which has been a significant challenge in the country is also receiving considerable attention. Several agencies have been empowered to lead the fight, and Nigeria has also improved significantly among corrupt nations in the world.
Wrapping it up
There are many reasons Nigeria is the ideal destination for international investors. The country has a robust economy with high potentials for expansion and growth. Investors can take advantage of the government’s interest to diversify the economy too. They can invest in other sectors apart from oil and gas, and still get good returns on their investment.

Adelaide to trial defibrillators in public buildings in bid save lives
Emergency defibrillators are to be installed in public buildings in Adelaide's city centre in a 12-month trial.
What is a defibrillator?
- A defibrillator is an electrical device that delivers a shock to the heart.
- The aim of the shock to the heart muscle is to re-establish the heart's rhythm and regularly beat.
How does it work?
- Pads from the defibrillator are placed on the patient's chest and a built-in computer checks the victim's heart rhythm.
- The device determines whether a shock is needed.
- Most devices have an automated voice to tell the rescuer the next step, for example stand clear and press the device's shock button.
The trial was supported by Adelaide City Council last night and is being backed by the SA Ambulance Service as well as the Heart Foundation and St Johns Ambulance.
The council voted to buy defibrillators to be installed in buildings which it owns.
Councillor Phil Martin said the portable defibrillators could easily be operated in a cardiac emergency by a person with no medical training.
He said the trial would also determine how many defibrillators were already available in private businesses in the CBD.
"We want to encourage people who already have defibrillators to remove them from the back rooms and put them in the foyers of their buildings so that we can map throughout Adelaide the locations of public defibrillators that people can access to save a life," he said.
He said Tasmania had about 400 defibrillators in public places, while it was common practice throughout the rest of the world.
Cr Martin said the trial would be used to gauge if people would use them, the best places to have them and if they were at risk of being vandalised.
He said an ideal place to install one would be in Rundle Mall.

When a difficult question is posed, do you look left or right while thinking about your response? Do you look up or down as you consider your answer? When you avert your gaze does the listener realize you are thinking and give you more time for a response?
To explore the connection between thinking and your eye movement, pose questions to yourself or a partner and observe the motion of the eyes. Once you have established the direction of your own gaze when reviewing thoughts, consider whether or not you employ variations in eye direction while thinking.
Robert Dilts, a neuro-linguistic researcher, postulates what you are thinking about drives eye position (up, down, lateral) and direction (left, right). He points to seven positions the eyes assume depending on the nature of the information being constructed or recalled. For example, ask a partner to mentally reconstruct a kinesthetic memory such as the last time he was extremely wet while fully clothed, or to recall how she feels when totally exhausted. Then, compare the eye movement with a question requiring visual memory such as who were the first five people he saw this morning or can she recall the pattern of her bedspread.
In theory, the eye movements will vary. In reality, realizing that eye movement, or gaze aversion, supports thinking, is a feature of metacognition. In fact, a learner can consciously use gaze aversion to promote critical thinking.
Gaze aversion, a tendency to look away from anyone who is nearby, is a technique used by adult learners when engaged in a complex task. Gaze aversion is taught to very young children as a tool to foster metacognition in an instructional video featured on the Teaching Channel.
Thinking bubbles are posted near work stations and children are instructed to avert their gazes when taking the time to think about an answer. Scottish researcher Gwyneth Doherty-Sneddon has discovered that children who avert their gazes are in a transitional phase of learning and are making progress. In contrast, children who do not avert their gazes do not make progress in their learning and, in fact, may be regressing. Parents and teachers are encouraged to watch for gaze aversion as a cue that deeper understandings are being formulated. If children do not look away on their own, they can be coached to do so.
In the Teaching Channel video above, five-year-old children are asked to not look at the teacher, but rather to look to one side when solving math problems. Each child determines the preferred side of his or her thinking and is then encouraged to move both eyes to that side when additional time to think is needed. This technique serves as a cue to both the teacher and child that thinking is occurring, in addition to providing a proven way to boost concentration.
Some children use gaze aversion naturally and others need to be taught to avert their eyes when challenging thinking time is needed. Thought bubbles are used as props to help students remember to use gaze aversion. Although the video portrays young children using gaze aversion, the technique is applicable to learners of all ages. If you want to boost concentration, provide an opportunity for deeper reflection, and construct better answers, avert your eyes and start thinking!

Blagojevich trial documents, April 13, 2010, Documents unsealed, Judge James Zagel, Obama reference?, Rezko Levine Obama connection
Blagojevich trial documents, April 13, 2010, Documents unsealed
When Rod Blagojevich Trial documents are unsealed before or during the trial, will we find more references to Obama and his administration and past connections?
Here are just two of the many connections that link Obama to Blagojevich, his cronies and Chicago, IL corruption.
Reported on Citizen Wells, December 11, 2008.
(Note the highlighted areas)
Obama’s role in rigging the Health Planning Facilities Board
Evelyn Pringle, Obama Curtain Time 2
“Obama was chairman of the Senate Health & Human Services Committee in January 2003. A few articles in the media have mentioned that Obama sat on a committee that reviewed matters related to the Planning Board in conjunction with the Governor’s staff but none have discussed his integral part in getting the bill passed.
A review of senate records from January 2003 to August 2003, shows Obama played a major role as chairman of that committee, in pushing through Senate Bill 1332, that led to the “Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act,” which reduced the number of members on the Board from 15 to 9, making the votes much easier to rig.
Democratic Senator Susan Garrett sponsored the bill in the senate, and the chief co-sponsor was Republican Senator Dale Righter. These two senators were also on the Human Services Committee with Obama.
The bill was filed with the senate secretary on February 20, 2003, and assigned to Human Services Committee for review on February 27. Less than a month later, as chairman, Obama sent word that the bill should be passed on March 13, 2003.
On May 31, 2003, the House and Senate passed the bill and the only senator listed in the “yes” votes mentioned in the Board Games indictments is Obama.
Blagojevich made the effective date June 27, 2003, and the co-schemers already had the people lined up to stack the Board and rig the votes with full approval from Obama.
As discussed fully in Curtain Time for Obama Part 1, the Republicans and Democrats worked together in setting up the Planning Board scheme because the Combine as a whole would profit.
During the trial, Stuart Levine testified that when he sought reappointment to the Planning Board, he told Republican co-schemer, Bill Cellini, to tell the Blagojevich administration he would vote however they wanted when approving projects.
He told the jury he had the same understanding with the two prior Republican governors, Jim Edgar, and George Ryan, who is now sitting in prison due to Fitzgerald’s successful prosecution of a corruption case against him.
A June 2003 email exchange produced in the trial shows Obama was one of eight officials who received the names of the nominees for the new Board ahead of time, from the office of David Wilhelm, who headed Blagojevich’s 2002 campaign for governor.
Tony Rezko’s name does not appear in the email. In fact, his attorney made the point to the jury that the exchange was from Blagojevich’s general counsel, Susan Lichtenstein, and Wilhelm’s office, and indicated the appointees were recommended by Wilhelm and supported by those who received the memo.
The memo said, “we worked closely over the past six months” with eight officials including three state senators.
Jennifer Thomas, a former aide in Blagojevich’s patronage office, testified that she attended regular weekly meetings at Rezko’s office between the spring of 2003 and November 2004, and Rezko floated names and specifically said Levine should be reappointed to the new Board.
The Senate bill said, the “Board shall be appointed by the Governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate.” But the Senate Confirmation Hearings were a joke. For instance, the Feds recorded Levine talking to co-schemer, Jon Bauman, the day Levine learned he was approved by the Senate from the executive secretary of the Board.
Levine told Bauman he ran into Jeffrey Marks, who said “congratulations on your appointment,” and Levine asked for what. Marks said, “well the Senate Confirmation Hearings on Health Facility Plan Board members.”
He told Levine Senate President, Emil Jones, only allowed 2 members to be approved and “that was you and the other person he just put in.”
“Isn’t that hysterical ’cause you know they had this big battle going on,” Levine told Bauman.
Laughing away, Levine said, “don’t you just love it.”
“I’m one of those independents and not part of the block.”
“Well, good, you know it’s good to be just a true independent civil servant,” Bauman said laughing along with Levine.
“Is, is that a good thing,” Levine replied, “I’ve never been that.”
Corrupt appointees fund Obama and Blagojevich campaigns
The corrupt new appointees were all contributors to the presidential hopeful, Blagojevich, and the US senate hopeful Obama.
The previous Act allowed the Board itself to select a “Chairman and other officers as deemed necessary.” But the new law stated: “The Governor shall designate one of the members to serve as Chairman and shall name as full-time Executive Secretary.”
The Board’s then sitting-chairman, Thomas Beck, who was originally appointed by a Republican governor, testified under a grant of immunity that he brought a $1,000 check to Rezko on July 15, 2003, to make sure Blagojevich reappointed him.
A few weeks later, Beck said, Rezko called to say he would be reappointed along with a Republican holdover Levine. Beck also testified that Rezko told him Blagojevich was set to appoint Rezko’s three doctor friends to complete the rigged voting bloc. He said he met the doctors in August 2003, at the first meeting of the new Board.
Dr Michel Malek gave Obama $10,000 a little over a month before the first meeting on June 30, 2003. He also donated $25,000 to Blagojevich three weeks later on July 25, 2003, and gave Obama another $500 in September 2003. Malek was an investor in Riverside Park.
Dr Fortunee Massuda donated $25,000 to Blagojevich on July 25, 2003, and gave a total of $2,000 to Obama on different dates. Massuda’s husband, Charles Hannon, is a co-schemer in the pension fund case and testified against Rezko in the trial.
Dr Imad Almanaseer contributed a total of $3,000 to Obama after he landed the appointment. On March 13, 2008, Almanaseer testified against Rezko and told the jury he was an investor in Rezko’s fast-food businesses.
This doctor’s son, Ahmed Almanaseer, was given a trade office intern position with the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity. Ahmed is president of HireIraqis.com a bilingual human resources “site aimed at linking Iraqi job seekers with the companies engaged in the reconstruction [in Iraq] efforts,” according to Rezko Watch/RBO.”
Reported on Citizen Wells, December 9, 2008.
Obama lied about meeting with Rod Blagojevich.
“Barack Obama has begun distancing himself from IL Governor Rod Blagojevech
now and will “throw him under the bus” after Blagojevich’s arrest.
However, Obama and Blagojevich have strong ties going back for years
including Obama endorsing Blagojevich.”
“Obviously like the rest of the people of Illinois I am saddened and sobered by the news that came out of the US attorney’s office today,” said President-elect Obama this afternoon in Chicago, speaking of the criminal complaint against Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich for corruption. “But as this is a ongoing investigation involving the governor I don’t think it would be appropriate for me to comment on the issue at this time.”
“Asked what contact he’d had with the governor’s office about his replacement in the Senate, President-elect Obama today said “I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening.”
But on November 23, 2008, his senior adviser David Axelrod appeared on Fox News Chicago and said something quite different.
While insisting that the President-elect had not expressed a favorite to replace him, and his inclination was to avoid being a “kingmaker,” Axelrod said, “I know he’s talked to the governor and there are a whole range of names many of which have surfaced, and I think he has a fondness for a lot of them.””

|Trichen Jurme Kunzang Wangyal|
Lumo-ra, Kham, Tibet
|Died||February 9, 2008
Dehra Dun, India
|Title||11th Mindrolling Trichen
The eleventh Mindrolling Trichen (pronunciation: Mìn-drolling), Trichen Jurme Kunzang Wangyal Standard Tibetan: འགྱུར་མེད་ཀུན་བཟང་དབང་རྒྱལ་ (1930, Lumo-ra, Kham, Tibet – February February 9, 2008, Dehra Dun, India) was a lama of the Nyingma-school, the oldest school of Tibetan Buddhism and had been responsible for the administrative affairs for the school in exile as the ceremonial head of the lineage. He is generally regarded as one of the greatest Tibetan masters.
Trichen Jurme Kunzang Wangyal was born in Lumo-ra in Kham (East-Tibet) and his father was the tenth Mindrolling Trichen. After his father died the family went to Central Tibet and he started his education in the monastery. When he was 18 he went into retreat, lonesome meditation in a cave, and spend a total of fourteen years in retreat during his education. He continued his education with Dzongsar Khyentse Chökyi Lodrö. During this period, he fell in love and married. Within Buddhism celibacy is only a requirement for ordained monks and nuns. Some lamas of the Nyingma lineage are not monks and are married, many of them women. He excelled in his studies and discovered the terma (hidden treasure) of the Compassionate One, "Jigten Wangchuk Pema Garwang." As a Tertön, he was therefore instructed to pass the teachings on eleven times to fortunate and worthy students.
In 1959 he escaped from Tibet and arrived in India where he was installed as the Eleventh Mindrolling Trichen in 1962. In the years that followed he worked with many other lamas like Dudjom Rinpoche, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and the 16th Karmapa, who previously received his education from his father. In 1976 he and his family moved to Dehra Dun in order to oversee the building of the Mindrolling monastery.
Mindrolling Trichen is the father of Khandro Rinpoche, a female lama with a substantial following in the west. He has been renowned as one of the greatest mahasiddhas in recent history and a direct emanation of Padmasambhava.
At the age of 78 years, in the evening of the 3rd day of the 1st month of Miracles, without even the slightest discomfort, Kyabje Mindrolling Trichen Jurme Kunzang Wangyal died at his home in India.
Head of the Nyingma school
In 2003, the government of Tibet-in-exile asked him to become responsible for the administrative affairs for the Nyingma-school as one of the main throne holders, taking over for the retiring Penor Rinpoche. The Nyingma school has always been decentralized, and the position of "head of the school" was established only in the wake of the Tibetan diaspora. However, the lamas selected to fill this role are held in the very highest esteem by the sect.

Sunday, April 16, 2006
I recently received a wonderful e-mail from a quilter who's been playing around improvisationally. She asked the following questions, which I'm going to attempt to answer. Anyone who can help me with answers, esp differing opinions, please leave a comment.
My biggest question for you is how do you plan the colors/fabric choices for a quilt like your Blue and White houses? And how do you know how much fabric you need? I have started on a lap-sized housing project made from leftovers, supplemented with a few fat quarters here and there, but I’m worried it will look too scrappy, that I’ll over buy, or that I’ll run out of a fabric that I want to use again. I guess these are the risks you take when doing a liberated project. I’d love to see you share your opinions on planning fabric choices for a liberated project (yardage, as well as number of different fabrics) in your directions or on your blog.
Okay, here goes.
As far as I'm concerned a quilt cannot be "too scrappy." The more fabrics you have the better they play together. One of my absolute favorite books is Scrap Quilts by Roberta Horton which looks like it's out of print. (Why does this happen to my favorite books? At least you can get it used for very reasonable prices - act now before it's too late.) Roberta addresses questions like how many fabrics do you need in a scrap quilt (no upper limit and she shows an example of an 11-print quilt that she considers scrappy).
I don't plan what fabrics I'm going to use, necessarily. I'll decide on a color scheme, or perhaps a focus fabric and gather together all the fabrics I have in those colors. (Again Scrap Quilts is a wonderful book to help with this step.) I start with all of them and then toss some aside because they don't work well with the other fabrics I have in the pile. And sometimes I'll have many fabrics that look similar (like all those tonal, hand-dyed-ish fabrics I have) and I won't need to use each of them.
As I work, depending on what colors or fabrics the quilt seems to need I'll add fabrics back in or buy some new ones. I also frequently will end up with many that never get used at all. There's no exact science to it.
Picking fabrics for a quilt like Blue and White Houses is easier than a quilt with many different colors. You know you need just two colors: Blue and white. Have to admit I have a problem with lights, so I had to force myself to use the lighter tones of blue - the quilt really needed them and they do look good in there. What I didn't use was fabrics where the blue seemed to have too much green in it. It had to be true blue.
One fabulous fabric-type to look for if you're making a monochromatic quilt is the kind that uses one color, starting out at its lightest tone at one selvage and getting progressively darker until the other selvage. I noticed an ad for Moda Ombres which would work well. (I found the Moda Ombres at this shop, which I've never used and is in no way an endorsement. But they do have quite the collection of them.) Other manufacturers have done some that run even darker to even lighter than these Modas appear to.
I never know how much fabric I need. It's always a surprise. If I like a fabric, I'll buy a quarter yard or a 1/3 yard, which is actually a great size. Really like it will bump me up to a half yard. Love it = 1 yard. Love love love love it and I know it's something I can use in many different quilts (such as my gorgeous hand-dyed Bali Fabrications batiks) then I may buy 2 or 3 yards. I don't necessarily buy fabrics ahead of time for borders, tho it has happened.
Having said that, I'm more discriminating in what I buy now cuz I have such a large stash. So my threshold of liking a fabric has changed from where it was several years ago. I rarely buy novelty or busy fabrics any more. My tastes have changed.
I have a huge tendency to overbuy. I still buy fabric for quilts that I've already finished. It's a curse (tho I'm improving). I can't help you out with that particular question. It's not a problem so long as you love the fabrics and those colors and can use them in other quilts - that's how you get a stash. Overbuying fabrics for a quilt in colors you'll never use again.... Trade, sell, or donate extra is my recommendation there.
Unfortunately it's entirely possible to run out of a fabric. I bought the orangey-yellow fabric that surrounds the Pumpkin Pie letters during my trip to Florida. At the time I thought it was rather obnoxious, but interesting, so I only got a 1/4 yard. Got it home, washed it and discovered that I love how it feels. More importantly, I love how it worked with the other colors. It's almost all gone now. I have a few short strips and squares and that's it. That's what happens. There's no way around it unless you have unlimited funding and storage space.
So in the end, I guess what it comes down to is: buy fabric you love. Don't worry about running out - just accept that it's gonna happen. You can always buy more fabric (just maybe not the same one). Too many fabrics in one quilt is not a problem...
Does that help?

Rancid? Racist?? This creepy azz “gentleman” doesn’t know what the hell he’s talkin’ about…
Florida Sheriff Questions Why Black College President Would Allow Kendrick Lamar And Ludacris Perform
Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott claims FGCU and its president are condoning use of the N-word, degradation of women, drug use and violence by sponsoring a concert with rappers Ludacris and Kendrick Lamar.
In a series of emails The News-Press obtained through public records requests, Scott challenges President Wilson Bradshaw to overrule a student group’s decision to bring the nationally known rappers to Southwest Florida.
“I am amazed that a black university president would sanction such a disgrace; especially during the 50th anniversary of Dr. King’s speech,” Scott wrote to his senior staffers.
Scott sent a similar message directly to Bradshaw: “I can’t for the life of me begin to imagine why a black university president would sanction such vile content.”
Ludacris and Kendrick Lamar have censored versions that play on the radio, but Scott shared uncensored lyrics in his emails that contain numerous vulgarities, including derivatives of the N-word that “glamorize racial slurs.”
Scott asked his legal department whether he could decline requests for off-duty deputies to work security detail, like it did for a Girls Gone Wild request, or if it could bill FGCU for an enormous manpower demand by citing “the pattern of local and national trends for heightened violence at these hip-hop shows.” Scott also recommended that Lee County government deny an event permit for the concert, which is slated for Nov. 24 at JetBlue Park.
Past Eaglepalooza performers include Pitbull, Flo Rida, Busta Rhymes, Sean Paul and LMFAO. This year’s Eaglepalooza budget is $250,000, according to Mike Rollo, vice president for student affairs. The money comes from a student activities fee and ticket sales.
“They develop a wish list of acts they’d like to see here,” Rollo said, explaining that dates, artists and prices must align. “It’s always been considered a hip-hop concert.”
So now the white man is literally trying to police black entertainment???? GTFOHTBS!
Flip it over to read the emails that were exchanged between these two.

Philadelphia is stationing a team of city employees throughout several highly-used recreational areas to encourage social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The so-called "social distancing ambassadors" will remind residents to stay six feet away from one another and to wear a mask whenever possible. They will be scattered this month along the Schuylkill River Trail, Kelly Drive and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive.
Park visitation is at an all-time high, the city said. Recreational opportunities have been limited by various restrictions enacted to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. So many people have opted to gather in the city's green spaces.
The ambassadors, who will wear yellow reflective vests and face coverings, also will assist with some park maintenance. They will have seven primary responsibilities, according to the Parks and Recreation Department:
1. Greet park visitors.
2. Provide a warm and welcoming environment for all.
3. Track park usage, trash, and other site needs.
4. Ensure that Parks & Rec is responsive to community needs.
5. Provide visitors with information to keep themselves and others safe.
6. Encourage safe park behavior such as making sure visitors: Maintain six feet of distance between others and wear face coverings when possible.
7. Practice what we preach. City of Philadelphia employees are wearing masks and practicing social distancing! Parks & Rec knows we are in this together and that we must lead by example.
Some City Council members are pushing for similar ambassadors to enforce social distancing within the city's neighborhoods, saying it would ease community tensions with police.
Council member Isaiah Thomas first proposed the idea to bring ambassadors into neighborhoods in a letter to Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney. Five other council members have since voiced their support, WHYY reported.
Stationing ambassadors within communities of color – and hiring from within the neighborhoods – would ensure the focus of enforcement remains on social distancing, Thomas said.
"With the tension that is here, not just in Philadelphia but across the country, as it relates to policing we want to make sure that the conversation is taking place and there’s a certain level of trust and people are not targeted because of anything but the need to social distance," Thomas said.
Communities of color have been disproportionately impacted &if we are going to specifically focus on it, how do we assure that doesn’t continue to happen? The people we ask to go into the communities to encourage people to #SocialDistance themselves must be people they can trust. https://t.co/s9ytRXm0Jk— Councilmember Isaiah Thomas (@CMThomasPHL) June 17, 2020
Ambassadors are being used elsewhere in the country too.
New York City plans to add 2,300 social distancing ambassadors in hopes of avoiding tension between police and residents. Cape May County, New Jersey has deployed ambassadors along boardwalks and other high-volume areas at the Jersey Shore.

When it comes to buying a new automobile, people of Pakistan have to pay a lot of money to get under-spec, feature-ripped vehicles.
In most cases, these ‘new’ automobiles available for sale in our country have either become obsolete from the rest of the world, misses out safety equipment or lacks basic equipment that are common in the same car available in other markets.
One of the key reasons for this is the lack of competition as people are forced to buy whatever that is offered. The scenario becomes worse when you compare a Suzuki available in Pakistan with a Suzuki that is sold in the rest of the world. Sadly markets even smaller than ours, have a better & feature-packed Suzuki on offer, compared to the obsolete and under-spec vehicles sold here.
The Ciaz sedan launched by Suzuki earlier this year misses out a dozen features found in Sri Lankan, Nepali and even the Jaimaican versions. The fully loaded Cultus VXL (Celerio) misses out features found in the fully loaded international trims. And so does the Wagon R.
Wagon R was launched in 2014 as a replacement for 1000cc Alto in Pakistan. The unusual looking Wagon R saw a hard time picking up sales but now considerably improved after already been in the market for more than 3 years. Provided there is no competition in its class, people are forced to buy one if they wish to purchase a car from this segment. It should be noted that the Wagon R was able to surpass the average sales of Alto only recently in FY2016-17, while the cumulative sales figures of the first three years were less than that of FY2016-17.
The fully loaded Wagon R VXL in Pakistan cost PKR 10.94 lac however the car misses out plenty of features found in international variants. Across the border, the Wagon R is considered as the most successful Suzuki hatchback. In September 2017, it surpassed 2.0 million sales mark in India making it one of the most successful cars there. The Wagon R in India is priced between INR 4.2 lac to Rs 5.4 lac which converts into PKR 6.73 lac and PKR 8.65 lac respectively.
The fully loaded Wagon R VXi+ that cost INR 5.44 lac boasts features such as Driver & Passenger Airbags, Seatbelt Warning, ABS, Keyless Entry, Engine Immobilizer, Speed Sensing Door Locks, Power Steering, Power Windows (all four), Power Outside Mirrors, Rear Windshield Wiper, In-dash Music System 2 Din 4 Speakers, USB/ AUX compatibility and 5-speed Auto Gear Shift AMT transmission.
There is also a limited edition “WagonR Felicity” which is priced between INR 4.40 lac to INR 5.37 lac and comes equipped with a host of features such as reverse parking sensors with display and voice guidance, body graphics and rear spoiler, Polyurethane (PU) seat upholstery and double-din audio system with Bluetooth connectivity.
In Pakistan, the fully loaded Wagon R VXL despite being PKR 10.94 lac in price misses out airbags, ABS, automatic transmission, all 4 power windows, rear windshield wiper, power outside mirrors and alloy wheels etc.
Pak Suzuki which faces zero competition in the market should focus on providing basic safety features and work on to offer specs that are available in international markets before the true competition arrives.

Antenna Adventures and cats
In other news, both of our teenage cats are at the vet today. I felt like a mom leaving her kids at preschool... gotta let go and they'll do okay. Mark will decide if he is going to pick them up when they are done or let them stay there the night.
My hosta seeds came in. I'm probably going to start them in three or four days, not right now I am hoping several things that are currently in the greenhouse area can go outside before then. I also did some mending at my table - Esme is outgrowing so many things I need to take a bag and put it in the clothes donation. Other things she has ripped holes in and they probably would have fit her but I couldn't get to putting knee patches or cutting off for shorts before now.
I am thinking about the best way to make a large mostly open wire basket. I might practice some on the dahlia buckets they need cages around them and I would like to try some overlap techniques to see if they will hold etc. There is a metal basket at work being sold that I think wouldn't be too hard to make the sides but the bottom is obviously a cast grid. Mark has talked about us making more crafts with Esme this summer for her to try to sell at the flea market, woodworking projects, maybe these baskets would be a good project, too. She did so well with helping on the antenna, she is getting more confidence in her skills.

Forced to abandon their houses, standing crops and cattle after shelling by the Pakistani army, the residents of the once-sleepy border village of Hamirpur still hold out hope for peace between the two nations so that they can return to their home one day. Entering the village, one is greeted by locked doors and empty households, but more tellingly, by an overwhelming sense of dread that the blast of a shell could shatter the fragile silence at any moment.
“First take shelter behind this wall before we talk. We never know when a shell from across the line of control could land here and injure or even kill us,” says 42-year-old Tarsem Lal, who has been assigned the job of feeding the cattle that have been left behind.
The village, situated at a stone’s throw from the Line of Control, has been deserted by its inhabitants, some of whom have migrated to Jammu. Most though, have landed up at safe houses set up by the administration.
Those living in the migrant camp assign the job of feeding the cattle by turns to two men, who come here every morning risking their lives.
Lal, accompanied by fellow villager Kulbir Singh (54), says people want peace to return, so that they can return to their homes.
“Who wants to stay away from a house which is constructed with so much hard work. It is our bad luck that whenever there is tension between the two countries we have to abandon everything and migrate from our houses,” Singh says. While the government has made arrangements for their stay in the safe camps and gives them meals, none have been made for providing fodder to the cattle. “These cattle would die, if we don’t risk our lives to feed them,” Singh says.

When we started Apiway a few years ago we had an idea to create a free integration platform and b2b software marketplace.
We wanted to provide free integration, drive traffic and earn money selling other b2b software.
This idea failed. It's sad but it's true
That is why we are announcing a paid subscription. I figure out that some of you don't like it, but we need some cash to continue to develop a platform. You can see our pricing on this page

WILMINGTON, Mass. — Six NHL seasons came and went with Nathan Horton in a Florida Panthers sweater and the playoffs starting without South Florida’s entry in the league participating.
Now that trend might finally end for Horton, who got a head start on his drive to compete in postseason play by taking part in the Bruins’ first captains’ practice of the 2010-11 season some 10 days before the official opening of training camp.
“It’s definitely been tough. Seven years [without playoffs] is a long time and that’s where you want to play the most, I think, is the playoffs,” he said after the on-ice session. “When you never get there, you don’t taste it, it’s tough. It’s a new page, a new chapter and I couldn’t be more thrilled or excited to be here.”
Some newcomers to a team with an established veteran core might’ve been hesitant to report early and join his new teammates for informal sessions. Horton’s not that shy. He’s so excited, he arrived in town a week ago to start getting acclimated. Part of that is skating with his teammates, and part is chatting and joking around off the ice to get comfortable.
Horton, who came over from the Panthers in a June trade, said he decided to rent his home this season. But if all goes according to plan he should be able to buy something by the spring. If he can show the goal-scoring touch that five times has helped him surpass 20 goals in the NHL, he’ll be a mainstay for the Bruins for the duration of his contract (which runs two more years after this).
Of course, every goal-scorer needs a set-up man. This year, Horton’s helper could very well be Marc Savard, who is still property of the Bruins despite tons of rumors to the contrary this summer. Horton doesn’t want to make any assumptions about line combinations before the team has even had a chance to have one formal practice, but he knows Boston would benefit from having Savard as part of its corps of centers.
“I think obviously he’s a great player, he’s been a great player for a long time and sees the ice real well,” he said. “It’s tough to say, but obviously I would like to see him here. He’s been here for a while and he’s a great player. But there’s so many great players on this team, it’s going to be nice to come in and play with everyone.”
Horton’s best chance to succeed this year is to play with a center like Savard or David Krejci, and to stay assertive night in and night out. If his enthusiasm for simple informal skates is a sign of how he’s going to respond during games that count, he should be the type of all-around performer Boston needs.

John D. Rockefeller, Sr.Industrialist / Philanthropist
Born: 8 July 1839
Died: 23 May 1937
Birthplace: Richford, New York
Best known as: Standard Oil tycoon and big-time philanthropist
One of the richest Americans in history, John D. Rockefeller was the founder of the Standard Oil Company and, later, a philanthropist whose wealth bankrolled the Rockefeller Foundation. Hard-working and meticulous, Rockefeller started out small and then made his fortune via hard-nosed and sometimes controversial business tactics, which have since made him an entrepreneurial hero to some, a greedy fiend in the eyes of others. He started in the oil business, and by the end of the century the Standard Oil Trust controlled so many other interests that it fell afoul of anti-trust laws. In 1911 the U.S. Supreme Court called Standard Oil a monopoly and forced the Trust to separate into competing companies. By that time Rockefeller himself was no longer involved in running the business, having devoted himself completely to philanthropy since 1896. He gave away millions to schools, health organizations and civic projects through the Rockefeller Foundation, which endures today.
Extra credit: John D. Rockefeller, Jr. was in the family business only briefly before devoting himself to philanthropy with the Rockefeller Foundation... the elder Rockefeller's grandson, Nelson Rockefeller, was a four-time governor of New York and vice president of the United States from 1974-77 under Gerald Ford.

And Now for this Announcement
In my quest for information, I did find a cool site called HomePortfolio. It offers a place to store a portfolio of the things you like on the site. Kinda like the Amazon Wish List, except this site doesn't sell anything. You search for a product - say, wood countertops - and it pops up a list. On each item, you can click "love it," "like it," or "not my style." You can also click "Where to Buy" and put in your zip code to find a store near you.
For example, John Boos maple countertops are sold at two stores in the next city.
The site also has photos of inspirational rooms and houses, the Top 10 items chosen for portfolios, editor's picks, educational articles and other fun stuff.
It sounds like they're paying me to say this, like those radio DJs who suddenly start enthusing about how they lost weight on CortiSlim. But I promise they're not. I just love finding new resources!
Darwin bought some more hinges today and will be cutting the cabinet doors down to the right size tonight. Yay, progress!

An herb garden brings fresh seasonings to your recipes straight from your own yard. Many herbs are easy to grow in the home garden---the hardest part may be deciding which ones you want to grow. Choose herbs that you already use in your cooking to start with, and expand your garden to more exotic herbs each year. Most herbs require little space to flourish and are easily incorporated into exiting garden beds throughout your landscaping.
Fill seed-starting pots with potting soil. Use a sterilized potting soil or make your own by combining 1 part compost, 1 part peat moss and 1 part vermiculite.
Sow three seeds per pot, using a separate pot for each herb variety. Sow the seeds to a soil depth twice that of their circumference. Water the soil until it is evenly moist then cover in plastic wrap.
Place the pots in a warm room to germinate, approximately 7 to 21 days depending on herb variety. Remove the plastic wrap once sprouts appear and move the pots to a sunny window sill away from drafts.
Keep the soil moist at all times. Thin the seedlings down to the strongest one in each pot once the second set of leaves form. Cut off the other seedlings at soil level with sharp shears.
Prepare a garden bed once all danger of frost has passed. Choose a well drained bed that receives full sun for the herb garden. Apply a 3 inch layer of mature compost over the bed and till it in with a hoe to improve drainage and soil nutrition.
Harden the herbs prior to transplanting. Place outside in their pots for two hours the first day. Continue placing them outside each day for a week, gradually increasing the time outdoors until they spend the full day outside by the end of the week.
Plant the seedlings into the prepared bed. Follow spacing requirements as detailed in each herb's seed envelope. Keep the soil moist at all times by providing approximately 1 inch of water to each plant a week.

Which Gender Handles Job Interviews Better?
With unemployment as high as it has been in decades, a lot of people are doing many more job interviews just trying to find an open position. The stress of financial problems makes the interview even more critical. There is a new study that reveals that women were more stressed by the interview process, but the interview went better than the less-stressed man. Researchers think that the women just handled the stress better.
A study by the University of Western Ontario discovered that women didn’t let stress affect their performance during the interview. To try and figure why the difference they did 400 simulated interviews they discovered that women adapted better than men. They also prepared better with practice interviews.

They are preparing this attack right now as we speak, they are going to come from southern Arabia through parts of Africa and are going to hit New York City

Warning! A spirit has spoke to me, and told me New York City is going to be Nuclear Bombed very soon, when Israel and Iran begin fighting, it will happen unsuspectedly. New York and the United States will not see it coming. They are preparing this attack right now as we speak, they are going to come from southern Arabia through parts of Africa and are going to hit New York City with multiple Nuclear Bombs, 3-6 Million Dead. This will happen as Israel and Iran finally go to War.
Here's one scenario based on the vision they gave me.
-Israel and Iran go to war, USA pulls out at some point or doesn't take the engagement as seriously as they should. Israel is left alone, Nuclear bombers begin they're flight from Southern Arabia through Africa, they will then cross the Atlantic, and will hit New York without them even seeing it coming like 9/11. It will seem like just a regular war, when really it is something much greater then that. They even gave me this idea that after the first 1 or 2 Nuclear Bombs, Barack Obama will have to surrender to stop the chaos. Then USA will be tormented by a great Evil.edit on 9-4-2013 by xGunthrux because: (no reason given)

People will die of heart attacks, and people will lose entire families while being out of state when this happens. 3-6 Million are going to meet they're graves.
Remember, if Israel attacks Iran please anyone in this thread call the New York City Police Department and tell them to be ready for something shell shocking.edit on 11-4-2013 by xGunthrux because: (no reason given)edit on 11-4-2013 by xGunthrux because: (no reason given)

Let’s face it – your game night sucks. It doesn’t suck, you say? Let me guess… you guys pig out on cheetos and bad pizza and get grease and cheeto dust all over the pieces while you drink whatever was cheap that week. Yeah, your game night sucks. Allow me to present a better option.
There are a few key tricks to running a successful beer tasting. Good glassware is a huge one. Ditch the plastic cups, and have some good glasses on hand. Either have a variety of nice logo ones, or plain, but for crying out loud don’t just go to Target and grab the four pack of Corona glasses. They don’t have to be expensive or fancy, but if it looks cheap, it will feel cheap (both IKEA and Target have very inexpensive, logoless glasses that are perfect). If you have any good breweries in the area, or have visited some and have glasses from them, even better. Bonus points if they are all in the freezer before hand.
Plan your game well – either a game that plays quickly, that you can play a few times (Catan is pretty great, in my opinion) or a longer game that you can have a couple breaks in the middle of (D&D or other RPGs, an apocalypse game of 40k with 4+ players, that sort of thing). The more you – the host – have set up in advance, the better everyone’s night will be. Sending out invitations with instructions and rules on them is totally optional, but if you’re doing a special game day instead of a regular one it can be fun.
Now, the actual tasting: instruct everyone to bring a six pack of their favorite beer. ‘Favorite’ is key here; this isn’t where you need to show off how much of a beer snob you are. Bring your favorite beer and don’t judge anyone else for what their favorite is. Don’t just drink it, instead serve it in flights. Pour glasses of the same beer for everyone, and have whomever brought what is being served tell why they like it. If they have a good story to go with it, even better. Plan the breaks in the game, either at a convenient turn or time depending on the game, and serve the next flight of beer.
A word of caution: this isn’t about getting drunk. Enjoy the drinks, the games and the company. Don’t suck the beer down and move to the next. Everyone will have a better time that way.
Happy gaming (and drinking!).

Kwik Trip, Inc., one of the largest convenience store chains in the US upper Midwest which operates in excess of 400 stores, has commenced a new initiative by introducing alternative fuels. Kwik Trip’s ownership and management holds a strong belief that Natural Gas is the vehicle fuel of the future. The company currently operates over twenty natural gas vehicles ( NGVs), from light duty vehicles to heavy duty class 8 vehicles.
Through Kwik Trips own anchor fleet, they will test, promote and educate Kwik Trip consumers about the benefits of Natural Gas as a vehicle fuel. It’s goal is promote and market to the public the knowledge that it acquires from purchasing, operating and maintaining its own NGV fleet.
Kwik Trip has committed to developing a functional Natural Gas vehicle fuel infrastructure throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa. Below is a listing of their fueling stations already open or coming soon; all offering compressed natural gas (CNG) and some will also include liquefied natural gas (LNG).
- La Crosse, WI – Fleet Center – April 10th, 2012
- La Crosse, WI – Cass Street – May 2012
- Sturtevant, WI – May 2012
- Rochester, MN – Fall 2012
- Oshkosh, WI – Fall 2012
As a privately held company, Kwik Trip has determined to expand its fuel offerings beyond traditional fuels without partnering with large energy companies. By bringing Natural Gas to the market on its own, the company says it has positioned itself to provide a better, more affordable solution to its customers and the public. Kwik Trip plans to expand availability through its current network of stores as well as building new locations, which will allow the company to provide the best and most functional natural gas vehicle fueling infrastructure possible.
To officially mark it’s entrance into Natural Gas as a vehicle fuel, the company will be hosting a Natural Gas Tradeshow and Summit around the May opening of the La Crosse, WI station. The event will also feature almost 50 NGVs on site.
The station was designed and built by the Alternative Fuels business unit of GP Strategies Corporation, a global performance improvement solutions provider. It includes one 15,000-gallon LNG storage tank, two LNG fuel dispensers and three dual hose CNG dispensers. The station will serve Kwik Trip’s LNG- and CNG-powered vehicles, private fleets, and vehicles using multiple or other alternative fuels.
Stores located in Wisconsin and Minnesota operate under the “Kwik Trip” brand whereas stores in Iowa operate as “Kwik Star.”

A Banner Day at GASC in Arlington!
Well, after a crazy day working in Arlington at the Great American Scrapbook Convention all day, I thought I'd come by and make a quick post here! I was in our booth for The Little Blue House working and doing a Make-n-Take from REVERSE CONFETTI. I loved seeing everyone today!
SEASIDE stamp set and matching SEASIDE Confetti Cuts. Everyone loved stamping the cute whale and octopus (octopi, since we stamped several of them?).
Anyway, I also wanted to share this fun little tag banner I made the other day that will be one of two mini banners we will be making in my 'Fetti Fans Workshop up at The Little Blue House later next week. The other mini banner is a sweet summer one that features 3 photos. I'll post about it sometime next week as well.
This one starts with the THANKS TAG Confetti Cuts and I stamped some red stripes from the SO STRIPEY stamp set. Some of the other fun products we will use in class for this are the new SEEING STARS Confetti Cuts and the BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE stamp set. I love anything patriotic (I'm pretty sure I've mentioned that before) and this set is a must have!
So you know what else is fun? If you're planning on going to the convention on Saturday, Jen del Muro, the owner of REVERSE CONFETTI will be there doing another cute Make-n-Take in The Little Blue House booth #427. It will be different from mine and it's adorable! Don't miss it! Also, take a look at your calendar. Are you free on June 23rd from 10-1 or 6-9? I'd love to have you join us for my mini banner workshop! Give the store a call at 817-431-7930 to reserve your spot.

Aside from the variety of technical questions, a very common discussion around Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is … “What will it cost me?”. In today’s post we’ll dissect how the pricing dynamics work and how you can optimize the cost for your cluster(s). Where this might not be rocket science, I do have noticed some organizations struggling with this. So with this I hope to help those out… 😉
Let us take a look at the Azure Kubernetes Service pricing page… Here we can quickly notice that the distinction is made between ;
- Cluster Management, sometimes also referred to as “Master Node(s)”, or “Kubernetes API Server” (Purple)
- The nodes that will do the heavy lifting for you, also referred to as “Worker Node(s)” (Green)
The cluster management (purple) is free of charge. Here it will strive to to attain at least 99.5% uptime. Where you can opt to purchase an Uptime SLA (roughly a bit less than 70 Euro per month per cluster). In that case, you get a financially backed guaranteed uptime of 99.95% for the Kubernetes API server for clusters that use Azure Availability Zone and 99.9% for clusters that does not use Azure Availability Zone.
Next to that we have the worker nodes (green) that are basically charged at the regular virtual machine prices… And will also follow the same logic in terms of SLAs. If you let that sip in… Then actually the managed kubernetes service is right of the bat cheaper than running your own kubernetes distribution in Azure! If you know that the kubernetes code base has changed for about 97% in the last three years, you can imagine the amount of work that falls in your lap if you would want to maintain the same service level yourself.
Dimensions that influence pricing
In essence, the worker nodes will be the thing that influence your cost.
- Where on one hand we have the choice in terms of disks that are used. On one hand we have the capacity that needs to be foreseen per node, and on the other hand the storage class that is being used (Standard HDD, Standard SSD or Premium SSD). If we leverage a 128GB Premium SSD, then this will cost us give or take an 18 Euro per month per node.
- Though the biggest cost will typically come from the “compute” (virtual machine) part.
- Rightsizing ; When looking towards the compute, the VM family will have an impact of course. The B-series (“burstable“) will provide a very cost efficient solution, when the full performance is not needed all the time. Where each VM family has their own traits for which they have been designed. Next up is of course the size of the virtual machine. As you can imagine, a machine with 1 core and 2GB of memory will cost less than a machine with 10TB of memory. So choosing the right size that aligns with your needs is already a crucial step! In an on premises setup, it is common to oversize a virtual machine. This is an anti-pattern in the cloud! You can upgrade (or downgrade of course) your virtual machine when your needs change.
- Snoozing / Scaling ; Your workload will not need all the resources all the time… You will see a baseline performance that is needed all the time, and zone which has a given “seasonality” / “flexibility in terms of demand” to it. By scaling in and out, you can optimize your costs too! If you say that the workload is typically used for about 10h per working day, then this will equal to 200 hours per month. If you know that a month on average is 730 hours, then you basically already saved 72,6% off the costs of that “flexibile zone” on top of your baseline. The concept of shutting down & starting up services when they are (not) needed is called “Snoozing”. The same logic can be applied to a non-production environment? Do you need it 24×7 (730h/month), or do the office hours suffice (200h/month)?
- Reservations ; We just talked about scaling on top of the baseline. Though where the baseline performance is the level we need to have all the time… Anything you do to help with capacity management ends up with a financial gain on your side. In this category, there is also the concept of “Reservations”, where you commit to running the workload 24×7 for 1 or 3 years. Where you can even exchange or get a refund (with a cap per year) for those reservations.
- Failure-to-Tolerate ; The shit will hit the fan… It is not a matter of if, but more of when. You should always ensure that your stack is resilient. In terms of your nodes, you can incorporate the concept of “failure-to-tolerate” (FTT). Meaning that if your capacity can be met by X amount of nodes, that you add an additional Y amount who are in a warm standby mode. If you say that you have an FTT of 2, then the amount of spare nodes (Y) is set to 2. As a general suggestion, the smaller the size of a virtual machine.. The lesser the impact FTT has on your costs! Next to that, when being very prudent, you could say that you would want to protect yourself from feeling the failure of an entire zone. Meaning that in a region where there are three zones, you would add 50% additional (and unused) capacity to your cluster. Where in a region where there are only two zones, you will add 100% of additional capacity. As you can imagine, the benefit is the level of protection, where the flip side is of course that you are adding 50 to 100% to the cost profile of your workload.
Now let us do some simulations! For this exercise, we are starting off with the base need of 80 cores and 320GB of memory for our workload. Where we noticed that ten nodes of the type “D8as v4” (8 vCPU & 32 GB RAM) can meet our need. For each cluster (located in the region West Europe), we will provide an Uptime SLA and select a 128GB Premium SSD disk per individual node. From here, we will simulate 7 scenarios ;
- Full Flex ; All the nodes are consumed via a PAYG (pay-as-you-go) offering. This to simulate a scenario where there is no commitment and you have the most flexibility.
- One Year ; All the nodes have been reserved for 1 year. This to simulate a scenario where you commit to run the entire cluster for one year.
- Three Years ; All the nodes have been reserved for 3 years. This to simulate a scenario where you commit to run the entire cluster for three years.
- Burst – Base 5 ; We start with a baseline of 5 nodes (which are reserved for 1 year), and the remaining 5 nodes are consumed in a PAYG offering and running for 200 hours per month. Here we simulate a workload that has a baseline of 5 nodes, and auto scaling for the remaining 5.
- Burst – Base 3 ; We start with a baseline of 3 nodes (which are reserved for 1 year), and the remaining 7 nodes are consumed in a PAYG offering and running for 200 hours per month. Here we simulate a workload that has a baseline of 3 nodes, and auto scaling for the remaining 7.
- Burst – Base 1 ; We start with a baseline of 1 nodes (which are reserved for 1 year), and the remaining 9 nodes are consumed in a PAYG offering and running for 200 hours per month. Here we simulate a workload that has a baseline of 1 nodes, and auto scaling for the remaining 9.
- Working Hours ; All the nodes are consumed via A PAYG offering and running for 200 hours per month. This to simulate a scenario of a non-production environment that is only needed during the working hours.
Now let us take a look at the results…
And we can notice the following things ;
- The fully flexible (“Full Flex”) model is the most expensive, being three times as expensive as the cheapest one (“Working Hours”).
- When running the entire workload 24×7, we see that a reservation of one year will provide a benefit of 31% and reserving three years will slash the costs pretty much in half.
- In case of scaling, the benefit improve by reducing the baseline. Having a 50/50 split between the base & scaling, results in give or take the same results as a three year reservation. Where the 10/90 split results in a similar flow as the “Working Hours” scenario.
Want to check the details yourself? Here you can go… 😉 => aks-cost-simulations.xlsx
By just playing with the reservation & snoozing sliders, you can already reduce your costs by 2/3th… Where on the other hand the “Failure-to-Tolerate” (architecture) concept, can double your costs in certain cases. Where I hope that knowing the impact of the various dimensions can help you optimize your costs! Where quoting Johan Cruff ; “Every disadvantage has its advantage!”. Committing is giving in on flexibility. Reducing safety guards will help in terms of costs. Though being aware of the dimensions will help you in understanding the cost impact, and make the right judgment calls.

Location: West End
Our days in paradise are over, it’s a very melancholy feeling to know that by tomorrow night we will no longer be together. We’ve made great friendships these past 20 days. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve dove. It has been great. Today was our final dive. It was gorgeous, we had team India dive the Indians, can it get any better than that? Sail side passed us as we were getting in to dive. They are racing today, so we had extra dinghies. As we got out of the water, our shipmates put some cheerios in the water and Steve (our seagull) came to say hello. We headed back to dock after all of the gear was stored. Our trip back was full of music and Boat Appreciation. We all chipped in and when we reached port there was not too much to do. We are going shopping with our friends now and having a BBQ with everyone later. I know we are all going to miss it here, but it has been great and I’m happy I had the opportunity to experience this. See you soon, Peeps!

Traffic calming has swept the world over the past 20 years. It’s based on the rather simple idea that cars and trucks don’t have exclusive ownership of our streets. Streets are shared commons that also belong to people on foot and bicycles, in baby strollers and wheelchairs. Reminding motorists of this fact, traffic calming uses design features such as narrowing roads, adding speed bumps or elevating crosswalks to slow traffic and assert pedestrians’ right to cross the street.
This idea has altered the literal landscape of urban life in the Northern Europe, North America and the rest of the world as people move about their communities with more ease and pleasure.
The origins of this ingenious idea trace back to Delft, Netherlands, where residents of one neighborhood were fed up with cars racing along their streets, endangering children, pets and peace of mind. One evening they decided to do something about it by dragging old couches, coffee tables and other objects out into the roadway and positioning them in such a way that cars could pass but would have to slow down. Police soon arrived on the scene and had to admit that this project, although clearly illegal, was a really good idea. Soon, the city itself was installing similar measures called woonerfs (Dutch for “living yards”) on streets plagued by unruly motorists.
One can only imagine the response of city officials if these neighbors had meekly come to city hall to propose the idea of partially blocking the streets; they would have been hooted right out of the building. But by taking direct action, they saved their neighborhood and improved everyday life in cities around the world.

Universal truths are hard to come by with this disease, but here’s my attempt at diabetes dharma:
- All life forces connect to blood sugar levels
- Everything changes, and will continue to change in unceasing change
Before the last few months, I had some variability in morning blood sugars, but rarely high. Why? As with most of diabetes management, if it ain’t broke don’t go analyzing things. But, within the previous month, a startling trend developed–after my head hit the pillow, blood sugars steadily climbed to 270 and plateaued through dawn. Here’s a snapshot from the Dexcom Clarity software displaying one of those nights (a night where I woke to pee at 2am, probably due to high blood sugar and took a correction).
Looking specifically into the trend, there’s a low right at dinner-time around 7PM. Bedtime was at 10PM. At 9PM I saw the numbers ticking up, hit a small correction (where the small dip occurs until 10PM), and then the march into the heavens begins with vigor. You can imagine one’s surprise, night after night, when you go to bed around 115 and wake up at 270 just a few hours later.
It was puzzling. Again, this was a new experience but became a common experience.
The troubleshoot was on, starting with the first question we all ask: what changed? My diet remained virtually the same. I’d been eating a form of the same dinner for about a year: a grain (quinoa or brown rice), with veggies (spinach, kale, cabbage, peppers, etc.), and a form of protein (beans, tempeh, or tofu). Lately though, in an effort to beef up a bit, I’d added a little more fat into things in the form of avocados or extra olive oil. In fat, perhaps this was partly accounting for the delayed effect of the high blood sugar due to slowed release of the carbs consumed in the meal.
So, I tried eliminating fat from the meals, focusing more on carbs and protein. The trend continued, just slightly diminished with blood sugars now plateauing in the 220s to 240s. So, what else had changed?
Then it hit: I hadn’t been exercising in the evenings. While healing up a pulled hip, I’d switched to more anaerobic forms of exercise earlier in the day and away from the longer cardio workouts (like mountain biking and running) at night. We know that movement completely alters the laws of insulin. Without that long cardio workout at 5PM, I was losing the long lasting, dramatic ceiling on blood sugar elevations that can last for at least 6 hours.
Unable to resume the long-form cardio, I cut the carbs (and fat) almost zero at night. Just veggies and a form of low-carb protein. And… boom. Steady sugars, even low sugars. Who would have thought? Cutting carbs and more consistent blood sugars? Maybe someone’s thought of this before. Here’s a look at the nightly trend after the first night of a carb-free dinner:
Spending a week back on the Pediatric Endocrinology Clinic helped surface this enlightenment. As mentioned in the intro, things do change. Our life impacts everything. Too many times, I tend to cling to what’s worked in the past instead of seeking acceptance of the circumstances of now. The lesson was learned. Perhaps, as can happen, diabetes will spring the same perspective into other parts of our lives. It has that power.

If you struggle with your weight, you will quickly discover oneself tempted to attempt the hCG diet program. On a charge-for-service method, there can be an incentive to acquire as well several MRI machines, and then prescribe needless” scans, which insurance companies and the government would be forced to pay for. I am not prepared to subject my pet (or humans) to these types of meals (if you can get in touch with them that) sources.

I’ve been functioning with organizations for more than a decade and have created an simple to adhere to program for writing detailed business proposals that is used extensively in the healthcare and healthcare market. Some soy based dog snacks can be substituted and your dog will really like them, they can nevertheless be higher in sodium. It’d be excellent if you could switch your watch during the day and have S Health sync the new watch with the data that you had already accumulated that day on the other watch.
In addition, in 1998, Vietnamese government launched the Hunger Education and Poverty Reduction plan, focusing on poverty reduction, agriculture and resettlement, gave assistance to citizens with troubles, and assisted poor household’s production activities, earnings improve, hunger eradication and access to more health care for the poor.
In conclusion, by examining the deficiencies in choice and access to care that exist in the Canadian health care program and the way that the German statutory health insurance coverage system prevents these deficiencies from occurring, it becomes clear that health care in Canada would be improved by moving away from a single-payer method for hospital and health-related insurance coverage.

BOISE - State Rep. Judy Boyle, R-Midvale, says she was stunned to learn that only 23 percent of people who use the Boise River Wildlife Management Area have hunting or fishing licenses, so she’s proposing legislation to require people who enter that and other areas that would be designated by Idaho Fish & Game to purchase $10 “conservation licenses” - $20 for non-Idaho residents.
“I thought everyone that went on wildlife management areas or anywhere were hunters or fishermen,” Boyle told the House Resources Committee this afternoon. “If you do not hold a current hunting, trapping, and fishing license from Fish & Game and you want to go onto their lands, you would need to buy a conservation license.” People who didn’t comply could be cited.
Boyle said the move would raise money for Fish & Game, which could use it for maintenance, weed control, and non-game wildlife. “A lot of the time folks go out there and picnic and leave all their garbage to be picked up,” Boyle said. “They bring weeds … and the seeds sprout. … It’s only fair that anybody that uses it should pay.”
Some committee members weren’t so sure. “If I have a hunting license, then I get to hunt, and I may have something to show for my license,” said Rep. Lenore Barrett, R-Challis. “But I’m not sure if I’m ready to buy a license to rubberneck. And just to step on a property and watch a bird fly off shouldn’t be that expensive.”
Rep. George Eskridge, R-Dover, spoke out against the bill, saying, “All taxpayers to some degree pay for fish and wildlife lands - they pay because those lands are taken out of production.”
But Rep. George Sayler, D-Coeur d’Alene, an avid bird watcher, spoke in support. He said the move could help Fish & Game fund responsibilities it’s been given that don’t pertain to hunting or fishing. “I’m willing to pay a small fee,” he said.
Boyle’s bill would charge $10 for in-state residents or $20 for out-of-staters, adults only. Children wouldn’t be charged, she said. The committee voted to introduce the bill, but three members asked to be recorded as voting no: Barrett, Eskridge, and Rep. Maxine Bell, R-Jerome.
