We enjoy having beautiful homes and the addition of stone tiles, marble and ceramic to our entryways, bathrooms, kitchens and sometimes even other living spaces and outdoor areas.
Tiles are very durable and look great for much longer than many other floor and wall coverings. Sadly even this type of material eventually falls prey to dirt, grime and germs that are found in our homes. Mold, mildew, food particles, dust and other grime can enter into the porous surface of the tile as well as into the grouting turning them from a thing of beauty to something less so. Call our Gainesville Tile & Grout Cleaning company Today.
What do people usually do to for grout cleaning?
People mop their floors, sweep regularly and even get down on their knees with a toothbrush to scrub away at the marks on the tiles and grout. This can be extremely hard work and the results may leave a lot to be desired. You are unlikely to remove all the marks and stains and get into all the little crevices and you are left with sore hands, sore knees and a painful back and your tiles still don’t look clean. There are also some ugly stains that just won’t come off, and professional grout cleaning is inevitable.
So what do you do for grout cleaning is needed?
Find a professional tile and grout cleaner that can come in with floor cleaning machines and cleaning materials that are environmentally friendly and don’t use a lot of chemical based cleaning materials that leave your home full of hazardous chemicals after they have finished the job. Using the right equipment, an expert tile cleaning company can get to all the dirt and bacteria hiding deep within the tiles and grout, leaving them sparkling clean and germ free. A deep down clean should also restore gleaming color while making your home healthier for everyone. Cleaning the grout can be a bit more difficult as they are more prone to absorbing liquids that are spilled on to them as they are a lot more porous than tile. Once your tiles and grout are properly cleaned, it is recommended that you apply a sealant to preserve the tiles and prevent spills from soaking into the grouting and the tiles causing stains.
A professional tile and grout cleaning company would normally test the various tiles and stone before the floor cleaning begins to see what type of material it is. Limestone, marble, travertine and terrazzo are very acid sensitive and can be damaged if not cleaned with the correct materials. The area should be cordoned off before tile cleaning begins. The tiles would need to be surface cleaned and inspected for damage and the surrounding areas also need to be clean and dirt free so that dust is not blown back onto the tiles during cleaning or when they are being sealed. Tiles should be cleaned and inspected along the way to ensure the colors stay constant. When the sealer is applied straight after the sealing process is completed, it does not leave much chance for germs to get inside the tiles and tiles are easier to clean for a longer period of time. | 2019-04-23T18:24:53 | https://thebestrestoration.com/what-tile-grout-cleaning/ |
Today, we will talk about all the worried mom’s out there who keep running behind their kids to teach them some smart learnings in their growing age. Likewise other countries India is also turning to be a smart country with new learning methods. We came across this smart TV Channel by Mohit Anand, “Da Vinci Learning”.
India’s first kid’s HD education channel, Da Vinci Learning, is actively taking steps to change the way kid’s entertainment is addressed today. It is working towards encouraging a more active and engaged way of TV viewing by its audience so that kids get inspired to be more and learn soft skills that otherwise are not addressed by TV content.
To spread its message, sensitization of parents is critical as parents are a catalyst to a kid’s TV viewing. Taking steps to address this, Da Vinci Learning today, organized a fun filled content sapling with select influencers and children. This was an energetic group that was out to have great food at Wendy’s, Cyber Hub and have some fun while being entertained by Da Vinci Learning. There were puzzles solved and great TV sampled.
Some of the popular shows for the channel are ‘Down to Earth’, ‘Maths is all around us’, ‘World Ahoy’, ‘InfoToy’ etc. which cover wide range of topics like science, history, calculations, technology making facts, learning and complex concepts in a creative and interactive format.
Da Vinci Learning’s programming covers a wide array of topics, ranging from physics and chemistry to history and nature, and makes complex subjects understandable in an entertaining way. Da Vinci Learning turns TV watching from passive observation into a meaningful experience, helping children develop various skills early on, encouraging older viewers to keep asking questions and inviting families to take their learning journeys together. With its non-violent programs, Da Vinci Learning creates a safe environment for younger viewers. | 2019-04-24T12:40:15 | http://www.oimfashion.com/da-vinci-learning-opens-door-for-kids-smart-learning/ |

Dremel wanted to strengthen their longstanding partnership with HomeDepot, while simultaneously adding value to their customers’ day-to-day lives. Creating a digital community where DIYers (Do-It-Yourselfers) and DFMers (Do-It-For-Me-ers) alike, could connect with each other, share, learn, and inspire each other was just the thing Dremel needed to connect their customers and partner, HomeDepot—all together in one place, digitally.
Targeting 3 DIY Segments; The Crafter, The Fixer, and The Builder – LACED Agency created DremelDepot.com, a facebook-esque digital & social application that connects the world’s most talented & novice DIYers in one community.
From drafted sketch to a successful digital application – LACED Agency created DremelDepot’s community to visually appeal to both DIYers and DFMers; populating the site with content like DIY Trends, How-To’s, Dremel Expert Advice, etc..–content that users not only care about but is easy to access and understand. We implemented a fun 5-step assessment system, to help users determine what level of DIYer they were, and filter information to them based on their interests and skill levels. We architected DremelDepot.com as a multi-functional social community; personal pages to highlight individual user projects, a project gallery to browse the latest talent and find inspiration, ability to comment and “like” other projects connecting users, learn from and engage Dremel Experts, access to the latest tips & tricks for common DIY challenges, new Dremel promotions and product releases, as well as well as access to their own personalized, digital toolbox to track both current and new tool purchases from HomeDepot – all in one community. Not to mention, LACED Agency merged both HomeDepot and Dremel’s brand guidelines to produce a sleek, clean, and beautifully partnered brand consistent design that both brands could brag about.
DIYers are on the go; in the yard, on the job site, or the shed – and that means mobile! LACED Agency designed the DremelDepot.com community to be responsive; meaning accessible on the desktop, mobile, and tablet devices. So when ever or where ever you are – Dremel Depot stays with you. The mobile site is as rich in functionality and features as the desktop version and provides the same interactive DIY Community experience. Users can easily like, comment, and see the number of views on any project, navigate with an easy menu bar, search for Projects, view the Project Gallery, upload a project of their own, view their messages, and visit their accounts….all in the palm of your hand. DremelDepot.com Connecting the experienced and emerging DIYers together in one community – accessible on all your devices, all the time.
LACED created two (2) marketing videos for DremelDepot.com. The first video was a teaser, designed to drive membership and build pre-launch buzz. The second video was longer in length, used fun “How-To” visuals, and a voiceover. This video was designed to entertain and educate (or as we like to say, “Edutain”) users about the community’s features and overall functionality.
In order to create a pre-launch buzz, LACED Agency recommended a count-down page and sign-up form for early adopters. Meanwhile, Exclusive Invites were sent out to top DIY personalities, DIY bloggers and media, as well as key influencers to test the community site in a Phased Rollout Strategy. Gathering their initial experiences, ratings, and feedback was key to future marketing efforts and future phased rollouts to wider DIY audiences. Allowing these DIY Influencers to "Share their DremelDepot experience" with their personal audiences also created not only virility but also reputability, authenticity, and transparency for DremelDepot as the community expanded to wider audiences.
Dremeldepot's Pre-launch Marketing efforts included a landing page, quick sign-up form for those users who were interested in getting an early invite to the community or being the first to try it out once the formal launch rolled out.
Communication is paramount to any successful relationship – offline or online, business or personal. Building a digital community demands sophisticated communication functionality and LACED delivered. The MESSAGES box alerts users to notifications; when users "like" or "comment" on a project of theirs, as well as Notifications from Dremel regarding new promotions or earning reward badges. Users also receive personal emails when they engage that community; joining receives a "welcome email", various community behaviors receive "Congrats! You have earned___new badge!", etc... This not only helps keep users engagement with DremelDepot but also drove excitement for users.
LACED Agency wanted to make DIY “fun” again – so providing incentives for increased, on-going community engagement was a must! We designed a rewards program with fun DIY Badges based on skill level, level of engagement, and posts/shares to encourage on-going engagement tied to monthly promotions and rewards! | 2019-04-26T05:48:36 | http://lacedagency.com/work-dremeldepot |

BERKELEY — Some math classrooms are so quiet you can hear the sound of pencils on paper.

Sephiroth, villain of Final Fantasy 7, is the greatest Final Fantasy character ever created. He has a rich background filled with intrigue and mystery - and he is a character with fantastically murky motives.
Long ago in a Shinra research laboratory, a young child still in the womb was injected with the cells of a creature called Jenova, which loaned him great strength. The thought was this would give the child the skills of an ancient, but Jenova was really a world-devouring alien. But thanks to the strong heart inherited from his mother, Sephiroth overcame the cells and used them to strengthen himself. Eventually he learns exactly how he was created, and then mayhem ensues. | 2019-04-20T06:35:52 | http://sephirothpictures.info/ |
BHP Billiton Ltd. made a larger-than-expected cut to its dividend, lowering the payout for the first time in 15 years, as the world’s biggest mining company seeks to protect its balance sheet and credit ratings amid a price collapse that saw first-half profits tumble 92 percent.
Underlying profit fell to $412 million at its continuing operations in the six months to Dec. 31, from $4.9 billion a year earlier, Melbourne-based BHP said Tuesday in a statement.
Its first-half dividend was cut to 16 cents from 62 cents a year earlier and the company said it will adopt a policy to provide payouts at a minimum of 50 percent of underlying attributable profit. The payout had been forecast to drop to 31 cents, according to Bloomberg data.
BHP warned in the statement that weaker prices and higher volatility across commodities markets are likely to persist for longer than the company had expected, prompting it to also cut its capital spending forecast and shake up top management.
The producer’s rating was lowered by Standard & Poor’s this month to a level unseen since 2003, and the company was warned it may face a further reduction dependent on its actions outlined Tuesday.
“The company is doing everything in its power to protect its balance sheet and to ensure cashflows — despite this long period of price weakness,” Sydney-based Fat Prophets resource analyst David Lennox said by phone. | 2019-04-25T22:38:46 | https://republicofmining.com/2016/02/23/bhp-cuts-dividend-for-first-time-in-15-years-on-profit-drop-by-david-stringer-bloomberg-news-february-23-2016/ |

When I was finally ready to begin the process, I had no clue how to start wedding planning. I was getting lost in all the details that weren’t as important instead of focusing on what mattered most. Then one day the graphic designer in me said, “Why don’t we approach this like any other project we’d take on and work backwards?” So, that’s what I did!
I asked myself some critical questions like how do I/we want to feel on our wedding day, what sort of atmosphere do we want to create for our guests, and I also thought about everything that was and wasn’t important to us. Having a beautiful location with mountains around us was one dream we had. We wished for our family and friends to experience what a summer day in the mountains was like. When the wedding venue that was just right for us presented itself we knew it was meant to be because it was exactly what we had envisioned!
Once you visualize and externalize your desires you’ll be that much more prepared to design the wedding day of your dreams. I’ve gone over How to Make a Wedding Guest List, and once you’ve sat down and figured out your wedding budget—which is coming soon, what’s next is determining when and where to get married. Your date and wedding venue are one of the first big decisions you make to get the wedding planning process moving. But first, let’s help you clarify your wedding vision because it’s the best place to start!
STEP 1: There is no right or wrong way to go about this but what you’ll want to do first is narrow down the time of year and the location you want to get married so you can start looking for venues that will fit your needs. Do you want to get married in your hometown? Are you dreaming of a destination wedding in the mountains or at the beach? Is fall your favorite season or would you rather get married when spring starts to set in? Those are some of the things that you’ll want to consider when narrowing this down.
TIP: Many venues book 1 to 2 years in advance, so keep this in mind if you have your heart set on a special place. Depending on how far in advance you are planning and what season you want to get married, having a flexible date might be the best route to ensure you get everything on your wish list. Have 3 different dates to select from, if possible.
STEP 2: After you’ve chosen the location (city & state) and time of year that you want to get married, you’ll want to narrow it down even further to the type of venue that will help you achieve your wedding goals. Are you looking to host multiple events over the weekend? Do your guests need a place to stay on site or would nearby lodging that is easily accessible be sufficient for out-of-towners? Is an outdoor wedding something you envision? Do you want a covered space as a backup just in case it rains? Is there room for a tent? When choosing a venue there are a lot of different factors to keep in mind and think about so clarify your wants and needs and have a list of questions ready to ask when you contact venues.
TIP: See if there any local wedding magazines or websites that have a directory with venue listings. Google will also be your best friend. Type in phrases using the location (city & state) and the words “wedding venue” to find available options. For instance, do a search for “Charlotte NC Wedding Venue” and see what comes up for you. You could also get creative and find venues that aren’t specifically used for weddings as another way to go. A park or campground could be just what you need. Or maybe a rental house that allows larger events could be a viable option if you’re having a more intimate wedding. Check homeaway.com to search for a vacation home.
STEP 3: Scroll down, download, and print out the “Wedding Vision Planner Worksheets” and fill those out to help you clarify your vision even further.
Save yourself time by finding out as much as possible before scheduling a wedding venue visit. There’s a lot you can discover by visiting their website and reading the details and information available before you make contact. Write down any questions that you want to remember to ask when you call.
You can narrow down options based on amenities, price, capacity, noise ordinances, food restrictions, alcohol licensing, etc. The venue you choose will help set the stage for your entire wedding day so be sure to do your research before setting up a meeting with a potential venue.

You want to make a list that has at least three venues you can visit in-person (if possible). Some may require that you make an appointment so be sure to call ahead instead of just showing up. Keep in mind, when visiting these venues that you don’t have to necessarily be in love with everything about the place. After all, you’re not going to be living there! As long as it offers the space necessary and fits the requirements that you have it might be exactly what you need even though it’s not precisely what you want.

How often does a person stop and think about how the parts of his or her body are connected? The chances are there are not that many points throughout the day that a person stops and thinks about his or her body unless there is need such as personal injury or bodily harm done. The truth is that the body is designed to work together and when one area of the body is struggling other body parts could be affected as well. Neuropathy is one of those conditions that could affect other parts of the body.
Neuropathy is a complex condition of the nerves that affects the mobility of the hands and feet as well as the joints. When neuropathy develops in the body, it implies that somewhere along the peripheral nervous system damage has occurred and it is now affecting other areas of the body such as the hands and the feet. Neuropathy is when there is a breakdown in communication between the brain, spinal cord and nerve cell endings; when there is a breakdown in communication between the brain and the nerve cell endings the brain is slower to respond to the nerve cell endings causing a delay in communication thus leaving the nerve cells prone to injury.
Neuropathy in feet is when the nerve cell damage occurs mostly in the foot area making it difficult for the feet to sense and feel things correctly therefore leaving them prone to further complications such as injury, infection or amputation. Neuropathy in feet is one of the areas of the body that is affected by neuropathy and treating neuropathy is crucial to the betterment of life as well as decreasing the amount of pain and limitations that neuropathy can have. Foot hygiene is a crucial part of neuropathy in feet treatment and maintaining good foot hygiene can reduce the chances of amputation due to infection.
Neuropathy in feet treatment could also include acupuncture, electrical nerve stimulation and even the use of prescription medications or herbal supplements. Neuropathy in feet can be very painful and it is important that those who have been diagnosed with it stay in communication with his or her medical professional so as to avoid a complete loss of mobility. | 2019-04-22T04:12:02 | https://www.neuropathytreatmentgroup.com/nerve-damage-in-the-feet/ |

Should GP appointments be longer?
Athona Recruitment > News > Healthcare > Medical > Should GP appointments be longer?
The British Medical Association (BMA) has called for GP appointments to be longer following doctors being forced to see up to 60 patients a day.
The current standard slot is 10 minutes, however the BMA GPs committee (GPC) believe that increasing the appointments by five minutes would help improve decision-making and service.
NHS England has said that consultation lengths are up to doctors and that there are no national limits for appointment times. However, the NHS Choices website states that GPs spend an average of eight to 10 minutes with each patient.
Dr Brian Balmer, of the BMAâs GP committee, said: âIn a climate of staff shortages and limited budgets, GP practices are struggling to cope with rising patient demand, especially from an ageing population with complicated, multiple health needs that cannot be properly treated within the current 10-minute recommended consultation.
âMany GPs are being forced to truncate care into an inadequate time frame and deliver an unsafe number of consultations, seeing in some cases 40 to 60 patients a day. | 2019-04-20T15:04:38 | https://www.athona.com/gp-appointments-longer/ |
Step 1. Make up a batch of the cut-cookie dough mixture, rest then roll out until about 0.5cm thick. Measure out the desired length and width of your cookies. Ours are 8cmx2cm.
Step 2. Transfer your biscuit sticks to a tray lined with baking paper, preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced) and let the uncooked biscuits rest in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Step 3. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until pale gold, transfer to a rack to cool completely. Meanwhile, make the icing by mixing the icing sugar with a tablespoon of water, adding a little more until you reach the desired consistency. Colour a little of the icing red and a little green.
Step 4. Once biscuits are completely cool, ice with plain white icing, then let this set before decorating with red and green stripes and a dusting of red sanding sugar. Let this set completely before packing into Mason jars.
Flavour the basic biscuit dough with cinnamon, clove and nutmeg for extra festive oomph.
You could use any sprinkles that you have in the cupboard for these and then just place a nice big red or green ribbon on the jar.

More small nuances (that turn out to be big.) We sometimes think that care and fear are related, even synonyms.
Careful for me = being cautious. Which in turn means to keep one´s eyes open, look around, stay alert and awake. It is almost mindfulness.
Fear is the opposite of this, a paralyzing force that sweeps over us like a flood. It devours us, awakens phantoms in our heart and often scares the sh*t out of us. In short, fear closes our eyes and makes us more asleep (dreaming a nightmare).
Just as being blind is not seeing, being afraid is not being careful. So let us be careful and not confuse fear with care. | 2019-04-20T14:51:23 | http://ladislaushoratius.com/care-and-fear/ |
Lifestyle Chiropractic & Wellness Center / 1,2,3, GO!
This is a guest post from Lifestyle patient Marni Entrop.
Swim, Bike, Run. 1,2,3, GO!
The is a familiar pattern for a lot of people during the summer months. The famous trio of activities that can range anywhere from a sprint distance to the famous and slightly crazy Ironman.
Every summer I try to fit in a few triathlons in the schedule. Depending on how much time I have had to dedicate to train to each or one of the disciplines usually shows up in the race. I love the transitions between the sports and have always loved the individual capacity in which you can push yourself.
My weak part of the trio is usually the biking. I just don’t get the push of the pedal like I would like to.
This year my husband and I competed in the Seafair Tri in Seward park. This is the 5th time I have done this one and think it is such a great local event. The route for the bike and swims are along the beautiful Lake Washington and the event is always run so smoothly.
Before you begin a triathlon, they mark your legs and arms with a sharpie black pen for everyone’s viewing, Your number, your distance and YOUR AGE! I find it quite interesting to notice the racers that pass me by as I am huffing and puffing through the race.
I find it quite interesting to notice the racers that pass me by as I am huffing and puffing through the race. I can’t help but look down at their calf and question… Are they older or younger than I am?
If the answer is older, my competitive side immediately starts to push a little faster. If they are younger, I wonder why am I not able to keep up?
This is such a funny paradox in the midst of a race where there are so many factors on people ability, training, schedules, and natural ability to do these specific athletic disciplines.
Why do I need to compare myself to people based on age?
The more we surround our selves with healthy living, the more we can revert to a more youthful appearance inside and out.
It is not about the age of our birth year but how we keep showing up in life, pushing ourselves to continue to transform. | 2019-04-22T02:05:17 | http://mylifestylechiropractic.com/2017/08/20/123-go/ |
I don’t know why but lately I feel that I have a certain addiction on small kids. I love their innocent looks and smiles. And to be honest, I like Caucasian kids more than Indonesian kids. The reason is simple. Caucasian kids tend to be more independent if you compared to Indonesian kids. That’s because the influence of their parents, I guess. I always believe that kids are supposed to be allowed to explore their worlds. There’s no need for parents to limit their kids’ activities.
Last weekend, I met a little girl who is barely 10 years old. She’s a “product” of a mix-nationalities parents. Her mother is an Indonesian and her father is a Belgian. She’s so smart, I adore her so much. Imagine in such a young age she can speak French, English, and Indonesian perfectly. And when she speaks Indonesian, she does it without any weird accent, unlike most blasteran kids in this country. She’s also a kind of girl who is curious about everything. Gosh, her parents must be so proud of her. I instantly fell in love with that cute little girl. Really hoping to see her again and have a chat (yes, she seriously can be a very nice discussion partner!), though.
I told my friend about my sudden addiction to kids, and you know what was her reaction? She told me : “Ella, that’s a sign that you gotta have your own kids. Find a guy, get married quick, and have some kids!” Hahahaha…..I cannot give any comments to that “getting married” issue, for now.
Sometimes I think it must be really nice if I can get married to a Caucasian guy, one day. We will have cute kids who can naturally speak (at least) 2 languages. Haha! Yes, I really want my kids to be able to speak as many languages as possible because I want them to be easily adapt in anywhere they are.
I know, there’s still a long way for me to go through before I can be a real parent. However, I’ve already got lots of plans on how I am going to raise my kids. Aside of introducing them to foreign languages as early as possible, I want to make my kids read. Not just able to read (well, everyone must be able to read!), I want to make them love reading. I will tell them bedtime stories. My parents never did that kind of activity when I was a kid, so I want to do it to my kids. Then, I want to bring them to museums, having some picnics in open air areas. I won’t take them to the malls very often. I will bring them on some journeys to see other countries. I want my kids growing up to be open-minded people.
And last but not least, I will let my kids do what they want as long as it gives positive effects for them. This pretty much the same as the way my parents raise me.
Wow, it seems that I will be such a cool and idealistic parent! | 2019-04-18T19:19:42 | https://coratcoretnyaella.com/2013/09/04/talking-about-kids/ |

Sounds like things went pretty well. Even if things don't end up going the way you might ideally prefer, it seems like you're on relatively clear and good terms.
I mean since then she's treated me like I dont really matter, probably because she doesnt know what to do with me, but all I can do is keep my cool and see what happens. We still talk naturally and we cant avoid eachother because school so idk. I think she was nicer to me yesterday than wednesday but I cant really know without more context, plus like I gave her the opportunity to tell me to give her space when I talked to her on Tuesday and she didnt so like that's on her as long as I'm not overbearing which I'm totally not. She breathed in weird when I gave her a hug yesterday but I was in a position where it would have been weirder not to so I cant say I've made any mistakes as far as I can see and I'm definitely acting on the right level of keeping my cool but being confidient and kind also. Maybe I'll just date her friend lol.
It sounds like dating her is unlikely at this point to me from what you've told me, especially if she reacted in a way you weren't expecting to physical contact. I'm not in the situation myself, though.
Well I mean I'm fine with not dating her as I hope I've made clear both here and to her. My goal is to just be a cool guy in her life that likes her because I am and I do (in a confident non egotistical way of course haha.) If at any point it all blows up, assuming I dont act incredibly stupidly, it'll only be because of a lack of understanding of my position even though I've already tried explaining it. She might have taken the word "like" to mean "want to date" when really it just means "find agreeable, enjoyable, and/or satisfactory to the point of being open to romance" and I simply know if she felt the same way then we would have a good time if we dated which, again, is unnecessary for us to enjoy eachothers company.
As far as yesterday is concerned, I acted the best way I could given the circumstance, and it felt like a definite improvement as long as she was being honest. I can only hope I continue to act correctly and see where life takes me from here, and I can only hope any little details I took as bad signs are just me reading too deeply and/or will be washed away with the 2 years of time I have.
There's really nothing else to it except whether or not I should date her friend. I was planning on that yesterday but the idea crept into my mind that I shouldnt play with love so I'm back to questioning. I mean I know I like her too and I believe she likes me as well, I just dont see her as my end goal. I guess it's just a question of whether or not that matters, and I thought it didnt yesterday but idk anymore.
Yeah, that all sounds good. I don't think I'm in a position to give input on whether to ask her friend to date. To answer your earlier questions that I never got to, I haven't ever looked for anything romantic to this point, and I mean I've got some stuff to sort out internally in regards to romance. It doesn't mean I won't date but I don't feel a need to specifically look for anything right now.
Well, after talking to the main girl today, I can say I'm in a position where if I date her friend, it wont affect us, and I do want to date her friend regardless of if I want to date the main girl if her friend is interested so I may do that if she feels the same way.
The conversation felt natural and lasted for some time, it eventually hit a spot where neither of us said anything for a few seconds but I think had time allowed us to hang longer we would have been decent at least. It's weird, it has to be the most neutral feeling conversation I've had, like it could have not happened but I'm happy it did because otherwise I would have just avoided her and at least I had someone to talk to. I think if I ask her more about herself rather than how things are that'll be good the next time we talk but I guess it'll depend on how I feel then. Maybe it's best not to push the envelope and I should just ride this out who knows. Oh and I got a haircut just now that I like so hopefully that help slightly haha.
I'm glad you're happy on your own, that's a good way to be. If you dont mind me asking, what do you need to sort out internally?
Glad to hear things seem to be going well and it sounds like you have a good idea of potential ways forward. I don't mind your asking and appreciate your sentiment, unfortunately I don't know how to articulate the subject though, which I guess is itself part of the things I'd like to sort out.
Well I mean the first step to solving a riddle is knowing the riddle in the first place, so if you dont know what you're trying to sort out then how can you do so?
I'll also say for me, the goal has never been to "enter the dating scene," and I'll even go as far as to say I havent chosen when the game has found me if that makes sense. I've always just lived my life and then all of a sudden a girl shows up whose beauty and intellect cause me to think "dang she's hot and cool, I hope I act in a way where she sees the same in me" and I go from there. So do you mean to tell me you've never met someone who has caused you to feel infatuation, or do you always just disregard your feelings because you want to start out from a better personal position than you feel you are in at the time of infatuation to minimalize the chances of heartbreak occuring?
The goal of the game is to hit the 7 notes. These notes are hot, like, love, trust, admiration, fun, and happiness. If you hit all 7, you win.
Now that I've discovered the riddle myself, I can finally truly start solving it lol. The haircut has helped me somewhat btw if you were wondering, but part of the problem is knowing if you've succeeded because you cant unless they tell you.
Like you said, the first step is knowing, so the first step to sorting things out is figuring out what I'm sorting out. It's just a part of it to work on like everything else. Your latter supposition might not be too far from my behavior either but I haven't really ever met someone I've felt infatuation for to begin with. I'm not concerned about heartbreak for the time being so much as I am whether I'm ready for anything and if so what.
These notes are hot, like, love, trust, admiration, fun, and happiness.
If you're referring to things valuable in a relationship, I'd add commitment in there if you're talking potentially long term. | 2019-04-24T02:42:57 | https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1352-luigi/77088446?page=2 |

Here it is at last: the new Ford GT. Almost a year after it won the GTE PRO category at Le Mans, we've driven Ford's new GT supercar in road-going trim.
Ford will build just 1000 of these GTs over the next four years. Each costs $450,000 and each is impossibly trick. The tub is carbon fibre and seats two occupants close together. Behind it is a 3.5-litre engine making a whalloping 647bhp.
But it's in the suspension and aero where the real genius lies - and why the GT is such a competitive racing car.
But does that make it a good road car?
Join Matt Prior as we take the GT onto the roads in Utah, and onto the track at Utah Motorsport Campus, home of the Ford Performance Racing School, to test it to its limit. | 2019-04-20T14:46:27 | http://clipreview.net/x-ford-gt-review-ford39-s-new-le_2d365a3854344349706f49.html |
Children's mental health nurse Robin Barker is an expert in psychology and communicating within one of the UK's most racially diverse areas. He explains how his ISB experience helps him lead hospital training project We Can Talk.
Robin Barker is on the frontlines of a battle against life-threatening mental health issues among children and young people in one of the UK's most racially diverse areas, featuring vulnerable asylum seekers and many languages. He may not quite look the part, yet his international experience at ISB has helped make him a commando on this battlefield.
"I'm a blond-haired, blue-eyed white dude," he says, "but ISB gave me the confidence to engage with people from different backgrounds. Going for a job in the most diverse community in London [Newham], being able to say, 'I don't look very diverse, but I have a huge amount of experience overseas' has been very helpful."
Robin, who was at ISB from 1997 to 1999, is a senior mental health nurse who splits his time between working in community child and adolescent mental health services and running training for hospitals under his project We Can Talk. A lot of youngsters arrive at hospitals after suicide attempts or with serious mental issues, but staff there are not as equipped to help them as they are to treat physical injuries, according to Robin. While many young people in crisis report negative experiences in accident and emergency departments, non-specialist doctors and nurses are often frustrated with their lack of preparedness, Robin says, noting that this is a universal problem.
His time in Beijing made him comfortable working in different languages and through translators, and lent him empathy with people in a cultural melting pot, many of them recently arrived and facing the challenge of assimilating. More than that, Robin says being an international student is what got him interested in young people and psychology.
Moving around the world with his family, he had to adjust to different settings and form new relationships quickly. He was aware that his peers at ISB faced the same situation. This, Robin explains, got him thinking about how he could help with the process.
"I did a lot of theater at ISB, and from that point on I got into mentoring younger people. I ran a peer education group at university and did lots of volunteering. I moved back to the UK after university in America to do youth work. Gradually I came across more and more young people who had mental health problems."
Like a lot of ISB alumni, Robin had a self-starter, entrepreneurial spirit and "always kind of created my own jobs," securing government funding to run various youth-focused projects, many working alongside the health service. That eventually led him to retrain with a postgraduate course in mental health nursing.
Starting as a pilot scheme in just three hospitals, We Can Talk has now trained more than 600 people, and Robin is working with hospitals so their staff can run the training themselves.
He seems pleased with how mental health services and awareness of mental health issues are developing, including at ISB. The school is notable for its focus on wellness as well as academia, with counselors and a psychologist on staff, plus initiatives like Homework Free Weekends in High School.
Asked about how this compares to the provisions in place during his time at ISB, Robin quips that he managed to take a healthy number of Homework Free Weekends unsanctioned by teachers.
Whether or not this is an accurate reflection of his work ethic while at ISB, it's clear how his background as an international student has benefited him. Robin's company might not be called We Can Talk if the experience hadn't made him so comfortable empathizing and communicating. | 2019-04-23T18:08:19 | https://www.isb.bj.edu.cn/page.cfm?p=1515&newsid=3559 |
I love your tips, especially the one about having a wallowing day. I think we all need those days off, when we concentrate in ourselves rather than the world around us. It's not about a pity party, it's like a break to be gentle to ourselves.
Well said! Great ideas for fighting back against depression. Like Bea said, I like the wallowing day idea. It works for me when I have burn-out for D, so it should work for the other D too!
Great day for a post like this. I happen to be participating in a wallowing day today! Hoping tomorrow brings more optimism! Thanks for the great tips!
Wallowing days are a fantastic idea. I went and read your diabetes wallow day post, and I think that sometimes we need a day off from to worry and stress.
Woo Hoo! Goal(10 lbs) met almost!
I like the idea of finding those things to succeed in.
I like your ideas Karen. It is hard to want to do stuff when you depressed, but I do know doing things helps. | 2019-04-19T10:46:02 | http://www.bittersweetdiabetes.com/2012/02/depression-sucks.html |

EA started off the E3 2016 festivities with a press conference held on their own terms at EA Play. Two of my most anticipated games for E3 were Battlefield 1 and Titanfall 2. In that regard EA delivered!
The conference started off with a great showing from Titanfall 2. As a huge fan of the first, it was great to see the smooth, fast-paced action hasn't gone anywhere. Instead Respawn has built upon the great foundation that already exists. Take the grappling hook for example. In a game that already includes wall running, double jumping, and fast moving pilots, adding a grappling hooks is just insane. The trailer shows a pilot grappling over an enemy Titan as well as up to rooftops. If you couldn't keep up with the pace of the first, good luck on the sequel.
But let's not forget the Campaign. I'm not one who thinks Titanfall needs a Campaign, but I surely don't mind it either. The story seems to be based around a bond between a Pilot and Titan. I always wondered how a Campaign mode would work with a game like Titanfall, and it looks like you'll be switching from Pilot-only gameplay to Titan-assisted action.
Fast forward to the end of the conference and EA showed off their other October 2016 FPS: Battlefield 1. While the Campaign definitely sounds interesting, multiplayer is where the action is at with Battlefield. DICE debuted the multiplayer with a 64-player match filled with star studded teams. Rappers Snoop Dogg, Lupe Fiasco, and Wiz Khalifa joined athletes Demarcus Cousins, Richard Sherman, and much more in what seemed like a huge group of people that rarely play video games.
But that didn't prevent the game from looking amazing. One thing I always loved about Battlefield was the huge, open, classic maps. There's just something more authentic about running through a war-torn village with trenches and hills dotted about rather than just a plain old city ala Hardline or Battlefield 4. Battlefield 1 looks like it's bringing back that classic war feel of old.
So that's the beginning and end of the EA Play conference. It both started and ended with a bang. But everything in between was.... forgettable. EA looked ahead with their Star Wars titles in the works, but nothing was close enough to be shown off. With what seemed like every developer under the EA brand working on a different game for the license, you would think one of them would be close enough to have a decent reveal.
In a similar fashion Mass Effect: Andromeda got the "look at this developer drawing" treatment that EA has become notorious for. With a release date of "early 2017" and the fact that it's one of EA's largest franchises, I expected a huge blowout for Mass Effect.
Other than that EA announced a new initiative called EA Originals. A new program where EA will focus on smaller titles thanks to the success of Unravel. The first game for this program is Fe, a narrative based title from Swedish developer Zoink. The game looked decent enough, but I was surprised they only showed one new game for this new initiative. Surely they could have found other indie developers that would take a publishing opportunity with EA?
Finally there was a huge emphasis on FIFA. Now I'm not a fan of Soccer, but the same thing can be said for Hockey and to a lesser degree Football yet I can tolerate their showings by EA. There's just something about how much attention EA gives FIFA that just makes it the most dull thing ever. When "Alex Hunter" walked out on to the stage talking about his dreams of kicking a futbol and how they were being imagined in a new career mode in FIFA 17.... Cringeworthy is the only way to describe it.
That's EA's press conference and the first to kick off E3 2016. Titanfall 2 and Battlefield 1 has great showings and I can't wait to play them both... in October (why?!?). What are your thoughts on the conference? Let us know in the comments below. | 2019-04-24T08:24:52 | http://www.drmgamecast.com/2016/06/e3-2016-ea-press-conference-impressions.html |

Janie's entire life is one of a journey. She lives through a grandmother, three husbands, and innumerable friends. Throughout is all, she grows closer and closer to her ideals about love and how to live one's life. Zora Neale Hurston chooses to define Janie not by what is wrong in her life, but by what is good in it. Janie changes a lot from the beginning to the end of Their Eyes Were Watching God, but the imagery in her life always conjures positive ideas in the mind of the reader.
Janie's life begins under the watchful eye of her grandmother. Her grandmother has given up her own happiness to raise Janie and her mother. Right away, it is obvious that Janie's life is going to be different than her grandmother's. For starters, Janie has very different ideas about love than any other character. She may not be able to clearly define her thoughts, but the reader still sees that Janie's ideas are romantic and full of sensuality. The first glimpse into the past that the reader sees involves Janie underneath a pear tree, watching the flowers bloom. The descriptive language ("From barren brown stems to glistening leaf-buds; from the leaf-buds to snowy virginity of bloom" ) beautifully juxtaposed with complex thought ("The rose of the world was breathing out smell. It . . . followed her. . . and caressed her . . ." ) lets the reader experience the same feelings that Janie does, even though she is not yet old enough to fully describe them herself.
Janie's grandmother is old and weak. She never had a person in her life who cared for her and truly wanted to look out for her well-being. As a result, she is frightened by Janie's refusal to follow the mold, her refusal to marry for convenience instead of love. Janie's grandmother describes herself as "a cracked plate" , showing that not even she has confidence in her own ability to be strong and weather adversity. Janie learns a very important lesson from her grandmother. Not a lesson to emulate, but one to avoid. She does not want to be a cracked plate, she is tall and blossoming and can see what she wants in her life. | 2019-04-18T14:31:17 | https://brightkite.com/essay-on/their-eyes-were-viewing-god |

The Beecroft Opens - Walter Beecroft needed a new home for an ever expanding collection of prolific art depicting the local area and beyond.
This building on Station Road, opened on 9th October 1953, courtesy of the then Mayor, Mr Alderman E N Selby. This fine collection of art includes a rare Constable, and the gallery now provides a home for touring exhibitions and also hosts a recognised costum e collection often referred to by TV producers wanting an authentic look for their dramas. The Beecroft was always a temporary solution, and today looks forward to transferring the collection one day, to a purpose built museum.
Peter John Taylor (born 3 January 1953 in Southend-on-Sea) is a football manager, currently employed at Wycombe Wanderers.
He has previously managed Southend United, Gillingham, Leicester City, Brighton, Hull City, Crystal Palace and Stevenage Borough, as well as having two spells as head coach of the England under-21 team and also taking charge of the England national football team on a caretaker basis in 2000.
Southend's Own Queen Elizabeth - Southend Carnival gained its very own Queen Elizabeth this year; she was crowned at the Odeon in southend High Street by two movie stars Britain's very own Bill Owen and the ever youthful Muriel Pavlow. The Queen, Elizabeth Climpson is from Thorpe Bay.
HMS Vanguard Visits - To celebrate the coronation in 1953 HMS Vanguard visited Southend and was moored just off the pier. The warship was commissioned in 1946 and decommissioned in 1960, and although she had an uneventful service, she was used to convey the royal family to South Africa in her first year.
The Standard Guide - Produced by local newspaper 'The Southend Standard'. Pocket sized and ideal for the visitor wanting to know more about the area.
New Pier Arch - To celebrate the coronation in 1953, Southend built a new arch on entry to pier.
This remained in place until the recent work on Pier Hill took place which dragged this area into the modern era with a new viewing tower and Pier Entrance construction. Along with the raising of the Pier bridge itself which claimed a number of tourist double deckers in its time.
The Floods - Compared to Canvey Island Southend got off lightly with the infamous floods on 31 st January 1953. The Kursaal flooded, along with the Thorpedene area, Southchurch Park and the Gasworks. Several people lost their lives at the squatter camp at Wakering Common. The areas that did flood are still of concern today. Below the image show's the impact on Northumberland Avenue.
It's Guinness Time - The ever popular Guinness Clock returned to Western Esplanade to be part of the Autumn illuminations.

My first job after my design B.A was in lighting and I fell in love with it right away. Even my final project in my curatorship diploma was about lighting. After moving to Sydney, I was glad to discover the high level of design here. I had the privilege of working in some amazing showrooms in the past both in lighting and smart home companies, in sales and marketing. So I was thrilled to be welcomed by LightCo's amazing showroom, beautiful products and lovely people.
The world of Lighting is so mesmerizing and magical that it has had a hold on to me for almost 10 years. Even today, I look at every light fixture with amazement, by the way these fixtures influence our daily lives and perspective about our surroundings. Coming from India, with an MBA background, I started afresh in this part of the world to be warmly welcomed by this amazing and inspiring LightCo family. | 2019-04-20T02:37:55 | http://lightco.com.au/blog/118-lightco-sets-the-bar-high-at-sid17-2 |

Move over dot com era…… welcome to dot photography!
An interesting development ocured this week in the world of internet domain names when a collection of new gTLD ( generic Top Level Domains) were launched. Current TLDs include things like .com, .net and .co.uk. Essentially, the end part of a URL is called the TLD.
The problem is that website URLs are in very high demand and frankly most of the good ones have long gone with many people buying and squatting on domain names they never even plan to use. For a new business, it makes it very hard to get a relevant domain name that isn’t overly long or hyphenated.
Well that’s all starting to change. Starting right now!
ICANN, the governing power behind control of domain names has recently unveiled plans to launch several hundred new domains that will help people find something more suitable to their business. Luckily for photographers, some of the very first new TLDs to be rolled out include photography specific domain choices. In fact out of the latest batch of 7 new TLDs, 3 of them could easily be used by photographers!
So if you’ve struggled to be able to find a great URL, now you might be able to get www.yourname.photography or www.yourlocation.gallery . I can also think of all sorts of creative ideas relating to your geographical location and the type of photography you do.
I’m not kidding, if you want a new domain name for your photo business, or one that you intend to start in the future, you need to secure it now. I had a few things I wanted to grab myself and even after these were available for one hour, all of the ones on my list were taken. We’re in the lucky position that the the photography industry has been served first in the lineup by ICANN so you have to take advantage of it right now before all the options get taken and people start squatting on the good ones hoping to sell them for hundreds and even thousands of dollars!
What sort of URL should you choose?
If you decided to go for one that has a location in it, say San Francisco, you’d better be pretty darned sure you aren’t going to be moving house anytime soon otherwise you’ll have to change your domain and your hard earned SEO will go back to zero.
There’s many options for domain registration but my favorite is Hover.com. All of their registrations include domain privacy settings. They are a few dollars more expensive than GoDaddy though so they can work if you are after the cheapest deal. I personally prefer the simple uncluttered experience that Hover pride themselves in but they don’t offer site hosting, just domain registration. If you register with them, you can then use our special link to Blue Host to get 30% discount on hosting.
Are you going to buy one? Did you already get one? Leave us a comment below and tell me what you got!
Yep I left that off because frankly the pre-reg fees are insane and technically it’s not available yet. The issue with high pre-reg fees is you are also being forced into paying the same fee each time you re-register each year. So pay $500 to pre register a .photo and then you are going to have to pay $500 again next year apparently…. Also I don’t think the actual date for a .photo domain launch is yet concrete (maybe 15th April) so you could spend money and get nowhere. A pre-registration also does’t guarantee you the name by any means. Once GoDaddy begin offering pre registration we’ll be getting close but at the moment only smaller places are just trying to scam money out of people on that one I think.
Glad you got what you wanted though! Spread the word, this has gone under the radar a little bit but I think it’s useful for photogs to know about.
Snap it up now Jon! Don’t let anyone else get in there. I think JonHarris.photography would nice.
This is awesome. I love the idea of .photography, as I am in process of redoing my whole website right now. One thing I noticed and worries me a bit is that at this point .photography does not show up in google search. For example – I checked whistler.photography as website that has been launched already however when I type it in search it shows me other whister photo websites but not the .photography one. How long do you think before search engines will follow up?
Search engines should index something right away but whether they appear in search results has more to do with SEO. If it’s a new site with no backlinks then Google probably won’t show it for some time. You have to put the work in to build search engine ranking. The website you are referring to, whistler.photography appears to have been a Tumblr blog that someone has now given a new URL to. I doubt there’s many if any backlinks on the internet to the new whistler.photography URL. Mostly they will be to whatever the old Tumblr blog URL was so they won’t be counting towards the search engine ranking.
I have recently purchased monika.photogrpahy. My new website is up. I’m having problem with FB. They are not linking anything to new domain name. Any suggestions. | 2019-04-25T06:17:33 | https://shuttermuse.com/new-photography-domain-names/ |

Political parties failed Thursday to agree to normalize the idle parliament as they clashed over how to handle allegations of real estate speculation by a former ruling party lawmaker.
The floor leaders of the ruling Democratic Party (DP) and two opposition parties met twice earlier in the day to discuss the details of an extraordinary parliamentary session in February, but they failed to reach an agreement.
The main opposition Liberty Korea Party (LKP) has been boycotting the assembly schedule since Jan. 24 to protest Moon’s appointment of a senior election watchdog official without a confirmation hearing and is demanding the official’s resignation.
The parties mainly wrangled over the LKP’s demand for a parliamentary probe into alleged property speculation by Rep. Sohn Hye-won, a former DP lawmaker.
Sohn is alleged to have mobilized her relatives and aides to buy properties in an old district of Mokpo, 410 kilometers southwest of Seoul, before authorities designated it as a cultural asset site.
She has come under fire over allegations that she might have used inside information obtained while serving on the parliamentary culture committee to encourage her aides to buy assets.
The ruling DP, which opposes a parliamentary probe into Sohn, instead proposed setting up a special parliamentary committee to take a broad look at the issue of conflicts of interests facing lawmakers.
“It is regrettable that the opposition parties did not accept our proposal,” DP floor leader Hong Young-pyo told reporters.
The LKP is also calling for a special counsel investigation into a former special investigator who has disclosed alleged power abuses and surveillance of civilians by the presidential office Cheong Wa Dae.
By law, provisional sessions automatically convene in February, April and June.
But the partisan wrangling puts at stake a set of bills on people’s livelihood and reforms.
In January, the National Assembly sat idle as the parties wrangled over a raft of issues that ranged from electoral reform to the alleged real estate speculation by Rep. Sohn.
The detention of South Gyeongsang Province Gov. Kim Kyoung-soo, a confidant of President Moon, was also a major source of political tension.
Kim was sentenced to two years in prison for colluding with a power blogger to carry out an illicit cyber operation to sway public opinion in favor of Moon ahead of the 2017 presidential election. | 2019-04-19T06:28:03 | http://www.koreatimesus.com/parties-fail-to-agree-to-normalize-national-assembly/ |

Alva Erskine Smith Vanderbilt Belmont was arguably one of the most formidable women of the Gilded Age, and much has been written in connection with her life and accomplishments. In this post we will look at just one aspect, as a person who “loved nothing better than to be knee deep in mortar" and the first woman admitted into the American Institute of Architects. To follow is a brief overview of many (but by no means all) buildings she lived in or had a hand in designing.
Born in 1853 to a prosperous southern family, Alva Erskine Smith’s earliest memories were of this comfortable home in Mobile Alabama. It is interesting to note the gothic revival detailing on its exterior, a style that Alva would employ to dramatic effect in many of the homes she created as an adult.
At the age of four her father moved his family to New York, settling into a home at 40 Fifth Avenue, smack dab in the heartland of the city’s Knickerbocracy. The Smiths moved to Europe after the Civil War, returning several years later, their residence listed at 14 West 33rd St, undoubtedly in one of the uniform brownstone townhomes that Alva would later profess to abhor.
Alva didn’t have to languish in brownstone ubiquity for long however, thanks to her marriage to William K Vanderbilt in 1875. In 1877 William’s grandfather, Commodore Vanderbilt died, leaving him $3 million outright. With part of their windfall they began building a country retreat in Islip Long Island named Idle Hour. Begun in 1878 and completed the following year, Idle Hour has dual significance. Not only was it the first home that Alva was directly involved in the design of, it also marked her first collaboration with architect Richard Morris Hunt. Despite appearing to be a fairly standard expression of the stick style then in vogue, Alva remembered this first project of hers proudly, later describing the house as without pretention, spacious and comfortable.
In the course of developing her estate, Alva found the local Episcopal Church her family was supposed to attend there lacking aesthetically. In short order, she paid to have it razed and erected a new one in its place. The resulting Norwegian-inspired wooden structure designed by Richard Morris Hunt gives a hint of the fantastic fruits the Vanderbilt/Hunt partnership would soon bear and remains a local landmark to this day.
Alva and Hunt worked together on her famed French Renaissance style château at 660 Fifth Avenue between 1877 and 1881. Completed in 1882, this pinnacle of their artistic expression immediately sent shockwaves through New York Society, raising the architectural bar for new homes built by Manhattan’s elite. Likewise, her famed masquerade ball to formally open the home in 1883 catapulted the Vanderbilt’s firmly to the top of Gotham’s social pyramid.
The couple separated in 1894 and divorced the next year. On top of Marble House, which she already owned outright, Alva reputedly walked away $10 million richer as well. It is said William also offered her 660 Fifth Avenue, but she demurred, purchasing a townhouse at 24 East 72nd street instead. It was from there that her daughter Consuelo left for her ill-fated nuptials to the Duke of Marlborough and where she wed her second husband, Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont, in 1896.
Oliver brought Belcourt Castle, his own Hunt–designed Newport cottage, into the marriage. Alva decided to move into the Louis XIII-style hunting lodge, shuttering Marble House (except for its laundry facilities, which she found superior), and added bedroom suites for herself and her youngest son Harold to the mansion. Though Richard Morris Hunt had died in 1895, his sons carried on their father’s legacy through their architectural firm of Hunt & Hunt. Alva tapped them for the alterations to Belcourt.
Alva soon had Hunt & Hunt hard at work designing a new mansion and other buildings for the Belmont’s new estate on Long Island as. Built in 1897, Brookholt’s Colonial revival neoclassicism was a departure from Alva’s previous homes, which exhibited marked French influences. It was here that Oliver passed away in 1908 after an emergency appendectomy.
At the time of Oliver’s death, the Belmont’s were in the midst of construction of a new Hunt and Hunt designed residence on the corner of Madison Avenue and 51st Street, influenced by Inigo Jones’ Lindsey House in London. As a monument to him, Alva had an annex built containing a large gothic hall to house a portion of Oliver’s medieval armor collection. She and her son Harold moved into the house in 1909.
For Oliver’s final resting place at Woodlawn Cemetery, Alva once again turned to France for inspiration, having Hunt & Hunt design a replica of the Chapel of St. Hubert in Amboise, France.
Although Oliver left her Belcourt (not to mention another $10 million) after his death, Alva moved back across the street to Marble House. Bitten by the building bug again, in 1912 she asked Hunt and Hunt to design a Chinese style teahouse for her on the grounds. Completed in time for the 1914 season, Alva opened it with an elaborate Oriental themed costume ball, today remembered as one of the last great Newport entertainments of the twilight of the Gilded Age.
After Alva sold Brookholt in 1915, she built her last original architectural creation with Hunt and Hunt between 1917 and 1918. The result, Beacon Towers was a castle overlooking Long Island Sound at Sands Point. It was pure fantasy, drawing upon references including Moorish Castles in Spain and illustrations found on the pages of medieval illuminated manuscripts. The theatrical result was historically referenced while interestingly modern at the same time. Many believe the mansion inspired F Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby.
and Chateau d’Augerville (said to be one of the inspirations for 660 Fifth Avenue), which became her primary residence.
As exquisite as the Chateau was, Alva could not resist improving on it. She had the river flowing through the estate widened because as she said, "This river is not wide enough", brought in paving stones from Versailles to cover the forecourt, and built a neo-Gothic portal separating the entrance of the château and village from the surrounding farmland. It was here that Alva passed away in 1933.

The plainclothes cop stares over a street that stinks of things dying. Black shoes, black pants, green shirt, ball cap covering a bald spot. Ragab Eweid could be a mechanic or a guy with a truckload of cabbage. He tries to blend in but it's hard to know where he fits anymore.
The country is all turned around and he's just as desperate as the burglars and petty thieves he chases days and nights through the warehouses and market stalls on his beat. He often feels adrift out here on the city's ever-expanding outskirts, a civil servant with a wife and a daughter and a diabetic son. How do you pay for that on a salary of $89.66 a month?
No wonder so many cops were on the take, even if everyone despised them for it.
"Before the revolution, I used to tell people I worked in private security," he says. "I rarely admitted to being a cop. People looked at us with such disgust and fear."
Toward the end of Hosni Mubarak's reign, the police mirrored the impurity and failings of the collapsing state. From undercover detectives to patrolmen in their hated white uniforms and dark berets, they held sway, collecting bribes, falsely accusing people, making them disappear, their torture rooms of sodomies and beatings filmed on surreptitious cellphones.
Few lives in Egypt have been upended as dramatically as those of police officers who tumbled from the street-level symbol of a cruel power to confused and bitter men.
"The revolution humiliated the police," Eweid says. "Our superiors want to make us feel hunger again. It's like raising a wild dog. That's why they won't pay us more. They want us to go back into the streets to intimidate and beat and, in a strange way, to regain the pride of the police. They want to put fear back into the people."
That strategy is playing out today in the streets of Cairo as thousands of protesters demanding an end to military rule clash with riot police. The air in Tahrir Square stings with tear gas and echoes with the crack of gunfire and the whoosh of batons; the wounded carried away, draped in the arms of friends. Human rights groups have accused police of excessive force in the deaths of at least 27 protesters since Saturday.
Eweid says he has never tortured a man or taken a payoff. But he's felt the itch. He unfolds medical papers from three hospitals explaining that their beds were full and they couldn't admit his son, Mohammed, who slipped into a diabetic coma last month. Eweid carried his boy home and the next day appeared at one of the hospitals, begging until they admitted Mohammed, allowing him to share a bed with another patient.
It was embarrassing, but a cop gets no special treatment these days. The revolution shattered the people's terror of the state and today hundreds of thousands of patrolmen, captains and detectives are caught in an unsettling new order.
"I had to absorb the people's fury," is how Eweid puts it.
Some of the once untouchable are in jeopardy. Former Interior Minister Habib Adli, who commanded the nation's police, is on trial in the deaths of more than 800 protesters last winter. Hundreds of top police commanders have been removed from their posts in a series of purges.
In Egypt's unfinished revolution, people find themselves squeezed between the military council, a sinister Interior Ministry and a brazen generation of criminals who have traded in knives for Kalashnikovs. Even if many still loathe the police, they increasingly need their protection. But patrolmen, angry over low pay and fearing retribution, have not returned to many neighborhoods in cities and towns across the nation that are plagued by lawlessness, clan feuds and vigilantes.
Yasser Haddad sells vegetables in a warehouse on Eweid's beat. Most wholesalers here are fierce competitors who migrated from southern Egypt. Guns are hidden beneath tunics as crates of onions, eggplants and carrots clatter across the loading docks. There is a boldness among them now that keeps policemen at the edges, even when fights erupt involving hundreds of men.
"The traders here are more powerful and better connected than any cop," says Haddad, who works in a business his grandfather started decades ago. "The police don't come close. They know they are too weak after the revolution.... They don't do anything these days. It's not good. We need law and order in the market."
Another vendor, Hamada Saad, a university graduate forced into the family trade when he couldn't find a teaching job, says, "This police station in this neighborhood is just a formality."
Eweid steps past the scrape of a girl's broom in a dirt alley.
He climbs a few steps to his apartment. His policeman's shirt hangs on the wall between a calendar and a framed page of God's name written 99 ways in Arabic. The Avenger. The Shaper of Beauty. The apartment is an 8-foot-by-12-foot room. The family shares two wooden boxes covered in blankets for beds. A TV sits on a refrigerator near a hutch; the room is separated by a curtain from a kitchen the size of a shower stall. Green shutters keep out the dust and soften the clatter of donkey carts ridden in from the fields along the canals.
"I was young and ambitious when I joined the force 14 years ago," says Eweid, who quit school to help his father, a government clerk, support his family. "I caught thieves and ex-cons, but after a year I noticed the torture and bribes. I saw what went on at the back of the station house. Cops were making a lot of corrupt money and no one wanted to stop."
Police officers never earned much but they enjoyed patronage and the power to extort. The misconduct became so pervasive that when a driver was pulled over for speeding or a busted headlight, the natural inclination was to slip money into the officer's hand. It was the poor taking from the poor, and police who didn't take could barely afford to pay the rent or raise a family.
"My son needs medicines and hospitals. How can I pay for that? I can't even afford a taxi ride home from work if he has an emergency," says Eweid, who can talk for long stretches about the rising inflation that leaves him nearly broke by the end of each month. "If I can't support my son, pay for his care, it's hard for me to give justice to others."
Mohammed runs into the room. He is slight and fast and Eweid's eyes stay on him until he darts with his sister, Doaa, across the threshold and into the alley. Eweid takes off his cap. A brown bump the color of a raisin marks his forehead; it is the sign of devotion, of a man prostrating five times a day to God. His wife, a distant cousin, sits beside him on a box, wearing a beige head scarf and a long tunic trimmed in sliver.
Eweid leaves home early one morning, passing the pyramids in the distance and pressing his way into downtown Cairo. An angry man with a microphone chants from the top of a colonial-era villa in front of the Interior Ministry. Eweid is among hundreds of protesting policemen, some holding signs saying, "No to Injustice and Corruption" and "The Ministry Is Closed for Cleaning."
The policemen are demanding higher pay, job security, bigger pensions and opportunities to become commanding officers, slots that for decades were held for graduates of a police academy that accepted only the rich and politically connected. In recent months, the ministry has raised salaries by 120 pounds a month ($20) and promised reforms. Eweid and others say that is not enough. They are on a work slowdown and have threatened a national strike that would tangle the cities of Cairo and Alexandria.
"State TV makes us all look like criminals and thieves," yells one patrolman, "but we are pawns of our superiors."
Another hollers: "This is a revolution for our dignity. We have no social or financial rights. We have no say in the ministry. Our commanders get better meals than we do during the holy month of Ramadan. Why? We fast the same as them."
The men gather in small packs, conspiracies whirl, rage fumes; their protest is a microcosm of the nation. Cellphones are held up. Videos taken. Someone whispers: There are informers. Be careful. A new voice echoes from a microphone as riot forces with shields and batons wait around the corner in dark trucks. A gun is pulled and the protesting policemen swarm a man, beating him on the head, his swollen face disappearing in a blur of fists. They're sure he's an infiltrator: a paid shill or a Mubarak loyalist out to cause trouble on behalf of remnants of the old regime.
Police against police. Eweid shakes his head.
Eweid flags a minibus to carry him an hour to his station house. The bus smells of after-shave and sweat, of shifts beginning and ending. It races over the ring road; Cairo flies by in a ragged portrait of unfinished buildings, hung-out laundry, autumn dust, crowds and hurry. Eweid gets out near a beggar with cardboard tied to his brow to block the sun.
More than 1 million people live on his beat, many of them migrants from shantytowns, deserts and the Nile Delta.
"This is one of the most dangerous places in the city," he says. "We don't have the force to deal with it.... I've done a lot of special training over the years, in shooting and putting out fires. I wanted to be better, but for so long the department never cared if you were better. I was transferred to this side of the city two years ago after I complained about corruption and erratic duty hours."
He walks and thinks about his son.
"He can't go to school every day. I'll have to pay for tutors."
Ahmed Kalyoubi comes this way every day to a warehouse for vegetables to sell on the street. He remembers how he and other vendors would scatter as cops approached to escape beatings, arrests and paying bribes, how he spent two days in jail once for nothing at all. He's noticed a change in the police.
"They don't chase us anymore," Kalyoubi says.
"The people respect us more today," he says. "I believe that."
He mentions this often, as if saying it somehow wills it so. Policemen in white uniforms guard a bank, sacks are loaded at the warehouse, vendors close up for the day, a boy washes in front of a mosque. Traffic gathers on the ring road.
Eweid walks and listens, staring over broken pavement and lights coming on in apartment buildings beyond a tangle of fence. There are many more hours to go. He wonders if he'll ever have a key to a small house he can call his own in a nice part of town.

I got in a fight with April and lost.
In one month my life was turned ‘straight upside down’, my three leg support was broken and I lost two legs. My family was ripped in half then shortly afterwards rocked by death. I found myself relying on the only support I had left. We leaned against each other, both of us counting on the other for strength while we mourned.
I withdrew into myself, pulling away from social media so that I could pick up the pieces of my shattered life. I didn’t write. I wasn’t reading. Even TV held no appeal! I didn’t want to do anything, speak with anyone. I struggled for a long while, resisting the new status quo even as the struggle caused me pain. Finally I decided it was time to adapt. More than that, it’s time for Rebirth.
I’ve spent the last few weeks putting the wheels of change in motion. Well, change was happening whether I wanted it or not. So instead of fighting the change, I’ve embraced it. All the projects I thought I didn’t have the time for, back on the calendar. All the invites I said no to, I’m there. All the excuses… well, no more excuses.
Forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead (Phil 3:13). #ProjectRebirth is in full effect. I garuntee you won’t recognize me by the end of the year. | 2019-04-21T16:08:30 | http://www.gavinkingsley.com/projectrebirth/ |

by Cheryl Tallman and Joan AhlersNaps are important for your child’s health and growth. A nap refreshes a child so that she can maintain her energy for the rest of the day. Studies show that children who nap are more adaptable, have longer attention spans, and are less fussy than those who don’t nap.
Parents often wonder how much food should their little ones (1-2 years old) be eating. Recent media coverage suggests over the past 20 years, restaurants and food companies have been increasing their serving sizes. This trend is considered to be a contributing factor in the rise in obesity (among adults and children).
Fruits and veggies: Servings: 5 or more per day. Serving size: 1-2 tablespoons – Pureed, mashed, or cubed.
Non-dairy Proteins (meat, fish, beans, eggs): Servings: 2 per day. Serving sizes: 1/2 egg, 2-3 tablespoons beans (i.e. black, pinto, edamame, etc…), 1 tablespoon peanut butter, or 1 ounce of fish, lean beef, pork or chicken.

Funny, but I think of the Vacchetta in a different league. Not quite Soprafino. The fact that it is watercolour rather than engraving sets it apart for me and the whole feel of the artwork is different.
I like the roughness and size of the Ancient Italian. Like you say sravana, the backs are perfect.
Did I ever mention that I have an Ancient Italian which has Scarabeo titles in Spanish/ Dutch/German/ French etc? At the top and bottom of the cards. I found it in a shop and it was titled "Classico", 1880 (a Scarabeo publication). I didn't have the Classical Tarot at the time and as Ricc had said here they were the same deck, I bought it. But, yes, it is the Ancient Italian. If I have time this week I could scan it here. It is quite bizarrre. Nobody would want it of course as the whole joy of the Ancient Italian is that it has no multi-lingual titles!
Uh Oh! Thanks for letting us know Manda!
I don't understand either. But I agree, it does have a completely different feel to the Soprafino style. It seems far more 'modern.'. I guess for starters the pips are quite detailed and very different from the Soprafino/Marseille style. I guess this deck only came out 17 years before the RWS, which is also interesting. The Majors are different too. Take the Sun and Moon, which have departed from the traditional Marseille format and now depict Diana and Apollo. This is one of the things I love about the deck.

I'd certainly be interested to have a look.
I'm also beginning to wonder if two copies of the Ancient Italian is going to be enough. I'm kind of using this as my primary reading deck now and imagine if that lasts and I want to use it forever ( imagine that!). Would two decks last the rest of my lifetime??? Maybe better to be safe than sorry.
Now, now, calm down. It was my fault over at de-enabling. There's no need to buy another. The Ancient Italian is a deck that looks fabulous when it is a bit battered and worn. Two is enough. You won't need a replacement as it won't ever wear out. Keep a spare in case you lose a card. But a deck like this won't ever wear out. It will just go on looking better and better.
Of course you are right Two will be plenty. I'm sure everyone who loves this deck should at least have TWO of them....but three would be crazy I'm probably not helping you am I?
If it's any consolation, every single deck which I ever got three of, I ended up getting rid of one. All of them, without exception. Even my Minchiates. The only deck which I haven't done this with is my 3rd Victorian Romantic, and only because Im waiting till the time is right for some serious bartering!
re: the Vacchetta wasn't watercolor originally - you can see that from the Del Solleone version. And to me it looks like fine engraving, fwiw. Interesting you don't get on with the Vacchetta, given your tastes. Perhaps some day? Who knows.
I wish that LS had just used variations of that back for all their Italian repros: the Tarot of the Master, the Classical, etc rather than just monochromatic of one card. But they didn't ask me!
Since perusing this thread I've gotten the AIT back out again - my oh my. What a *lovely* deck, even if the 4-color printing is a bit wonky. All those squiggly decorative bits on the pips! Makes the 8-9-10 of Cups look like they are from another deck, given the lack of decoration.I can't wait to study Mel's TdM Pips & Courts meanings thread (http://www.tarotforum.net/showthread.php?t=112327) to use with all my pip decks.
I'd *almost* consider getting a backup of the AIT... but I'm not going to. I'm not going to read with it enough to ever wear it out (though if I lost a card I'd be *destroyed*!), so someone else can have the joy of owning one. Now, if I read with it all the time... that would be a different thing entirely!
I now have an Ancient Italian, a Bologna (understated and gentle and rather lovely http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards...a/review.shtml) and a Classic too.
All because I once let my Minichiate go and have never really replaced it.
There's something about Italian decks that is warm and welcoming and friendly. They give you some wine and food and are very hospitable, I feel. French decks give me more of a snooty vibe.
I have the Bologna, too - it's just as you said, gentle and understated. My only problem with it is that all the facial expressions are so similar, with not a lot to differentiate them. But the colors, cardstock, backs, etc are great. | 2019-04-20T17:20:07 | http://tarotforum.net/showthread.php?s=a2f780f16ff2fd0a374424813b29190c&t=106097&page=5 |

Of course we were all very excited about this dive, we were diving on a WW1 Submarine and the conditions were perfect. With only 4 or 5 others on the boat we would just about have the sub to our selves. Although the viz was not a good as this mornings dive it was still about 20+ metres, not a hint of surge, but best off all, no other divers in the sub! We entered the sub forward of the conning tower, our plan was to swim aft, eventually ending up in the crews quarters where we exit through the very rear hatch. Once we are happy everyone is safely out of the sub we start our ascent. | 2019-04-23T04:31:43 | https://www.aquability.com.au/j5-sub-saturday-21st-january-2017/ |

You’ve almost definitely heard, between reports and the Will Smith film, Concussion, buzz about brain injuries caused by football injuries. Well, a new study that will be presented next week at an American Academy of Neurology meeting offers “one of the most conclusive pieces of evidence yet of a definitive link between brain injury and playing football,” says the Washington Post. The study reveals that 40 percent of retired NFL players showed signs of traumatic brain injury based on “sensitive MRI scans called diffusion tensor imaging.” This isn’t the first study dedicated to this subject, but it is “one of the largest studies to date in living retired NFL players” and the “first to demonstrate significant objective evidence for traumatic brain injury in these former players,” study author Francis X. Conidi of the Florida Center for Headache and Sports Neurology and Florida State University College of Medicine said in a statement.
The study comes shortly after the NFL released its official 2015 injury report, which shows that instances of head trauma rose by 32 percent from 2014 to 2015. The NFL vice president for health and safety ,Jeff Miller, publicly acknowledged the link between brain injury and football only recently. | 2019-04-24T11:54:02 | https://relevantmagazine.com/slices/new-study-shows-40-percent-former-nfl-players-sustained-brain-injuries |

If you're a male transitioning to a female or a female transitioning to a male, you may want to preserve your fertility before you start hormone therapy or have reconstructive surgery. Both treatments can lead to the partial or total loss of your fertility.
Egg freezing is a method of preserving a woman’s fertility so she can try and have children at a later date. It's a relatively new treatment and success rates are low compared to IVF with fresh eggs.
Ovarian tissue freezing is a fertility preservation option for women who are unable to freeze their eggs and for younger girls who haven't started ovulating.
Testicular tissue freezing is a specialist technique to preserve the fertility of men who do not produce viable sperm in their ejaculate (azoospermia).
Couples with good quality embryos they're not ready to use have the option of freezing them to use in the future or to donate.

The goal of this master thesis was to develop a method for real-time classification of market trading data at the Foreign Exchange (FX) department at the Skandinaviska Enskilda Bank (SEB). The characteristics in the market data sets were analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The analysis showed that the principal component subspaces for two different types of market data, normal and abnormal, for the EUR/USD instrument where significantly different.
The result from the PCA naturally led into the construction of a Single-class detector, for detecting if quote updates were normal or abnormal based on training data. The market data sets were shown to possess multicollinear characteristics, resulting in low-rank properties of the covariance matrices. To overcome this problem the solution was to transform the data using PCA, resulting in full-rank properties of the covariance matrices of the transformed data. This vital step made it possible to classify quote updates for the EUR/USD instrument.
The project resulted in a classification algorithm which is able to successfully classify if a quote update is normal or abnormal with respect to training data in real-time. The algorithm is versatile in the sense that it can be implemented on any market for any currency pair, and can easily be extended to classify the relative behaviour between several currency pairs in real-time. | 2019-04-26T09:45:50 | http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/record.jsf?pid=diva2:825520 |
SXSW ended a little over a week ago but that hasn’t stopped me from wishing I could relive it over again every day since. Austin’s world renowned music/film/interactive festival tips the scale on the discovery of new additions to your playlists more than its contemporaries full of major-label radio mainstays that are impossible to escape on Instagram — hashtag “chella.” From Mexico to Japan to Australia, you would be hard pressed not to discover a new band you hit repeat for.
For me this year, that came in the form of 22-year-old Irish dream-pop singer/songwriter Birdie Monds-Watson, also known as SOAK.
Last year, I caught a couple sets at BBC Music and the British Music Embassy’s SXSW showcase and found several bands I’ve since had in heavy rotation, so without even checking the lineup, I wandered into Latitude 30 again this year certain that I would find something to literally write home about — I was hooked from the first song of SOAK’s set.
“Knock Me Off My Feet” is the first single off SOAK’s forthcoming album Grim Town (due in late April) and it’s an ear worm full of defiance. Gone are the days of SOAK’s somber self-depreciating tracks, at least for now. That’s not to say SOAK is any less heartbroken, but it seems with “Knock Me Off My Feet” she has since moved on from the sad, sulking phase of love lost and is now demanding closure on her own terms. She bounces through lyrics like “Karaoke and a cracked up glitter ball/Bonnie and Jack just needed more/You let us down, what for” covered in an infectiously optimistic beat. SOAK is asking questions and taking names.
Sounds like: A lovechild of The Drums and Best Coast. | 2019-04-23T04:19:05 | https://www.ntdaily.com/new-music-mondays-soak/ |
The history of the Braille script is quite interesting. Originally, Charles Barbier de la Sierra, who was a Captain in the French army in the early 1800, was commissioned by Napoleon to develop a code which would allow his soldiers to communicate at night and without the use of light. The result was Barbier’s night writing which made use of squares in which a 2 digit code represented a letter. However, the system was too difficult for the soldiers to learn and read and subsequently, Barbier presented his invention at the Royal Institute for Blind Youth in Paris in 1821.
Louis Braille, who was a student there, was interested in the system but detected its shortfalls and had some suggestions for improvement. One of the difficulties was, that the fingers could not “read” without moving and so it took a long time to decipher a word. The imperious Barbier didn’t take kindly to the suggestions of a young student, but nevertheless, Braille’s script for the blind became the most widely used method of communication with and for the blind to this day.
Initially, the Braille script consisted of boxes or cells, made up of six dots. The dots were arranged in a rectangular position with two columns containing three dots each. The dots were raised and the fingers exploring them would decipher letters of the written alphabet arranged in words. The words were separated by space and punctuation was expressed by a unique set of characters. Braille was written by a stylus, pressed into the back of paper in mirror fashion.
With the arrival of typewriters and, later, computers, the 6 dot system has been expanded to 8 dots and Braille embossers can be attached to computers. Constriction of words to make reading faster is also in use, so that common words are no longer spelled out letter by letter. The Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing is a big volume which contains all symbols and contractions for professionals transcribing text into text for the blind. They are highly trained and skillful people. Braille alphabets, symbols and contractions have been developed for all languages and the Braille script is now the most widely used form of written communication for the blind outside the UK.
In 1845, Dr. William Moon from Brighton in the UK, who turned totally blind at the age of 21, invented another form of script. He wasn’t satisfied with the existing system which he found too difficult to read. His alphabet is based on geometrical symbols rather than dots. The symbols, which are also read by touch, either resemble letters of the Latin alphabet or represent words and numbers. His alphabet when first published attracted great interest and it’s said that his method is easier to learn and read particularly for people who have had use of their eyesight before they became blind. It’s however much more difficult to transcribe and has not found widespread use outside the UK. | 2019-04-23T06:02:51 | https://www.brighthubeducation.com/special-ed-visual-impairments/18635-scripts-for-the-blind/ |

Many of the same principles for testifying in a deposition also apply to testifying in court before a judge or jury. The number one principle everyone should remember whether testifying as a plaintiff or a defendant is: tell the truth – always. No doubt your attorney will not want you to offer more information than a question asks for, but he or she should advise you to answer every question honestly. Not only is that the right thing to do, but it also prevents the opposing attorney from “catching” you in a lie. Your honesty is a large part of how you are perceived on the witness stand and goes along way towards supporting your case.
Sometimes witnesses appear hesitant or apprehensive because they have not understood the questions posed by the examining attorney. Apprehensiveness also may be perceived as dishonesty so remember to always wait a few seconds before answering every question. If you aren’t clear about a question, ask the attorney to clarify it. Testifying in court is serious business. Therefore you have the right (and the obligation) to make sure you understand what’s being asked of you and to respond as best you can.
If you don’t know or can’t remember an answer, simply say “I don’t know” or “I don’t remember.” None of us can be expected to remember every single detail of an incident, particularly if that incident occurred months or even years ago. Admitting you don’t know or don’t remember is a perfectly honest answer, and is infinitely better than making it up. Before you testify, your attorney should spend a great deal of time refreshing your memory about what you said in your deposition. If you answer a question without being sure about it, that answer could be inconsistent with your previous testimony. Remember, inconsistency can have an adverse effect on your case.
Finally, while testifying in court is your opportunity to tell your story, you must remain calm, polite, and cooperative. Try not to get emotional, and under no circumstances should you become adversarial with the opposing lawyer. – that is your lawyer’s job. | 2019-04-22T10:40:40 | http://www.nytrialattorney.com/when-it-comes-to-testifying-in-court-honesty-is-the-best-policy/ |

Florida’s Top Craft Rum Producer Wicked Dolphin is releasing a very special limited reserve on July 2nd 2015, at the Wicked Dolphin Rum Distillery in Cape Coral, Florida a unique Rum The USS Mohawk CGC Reserve.
Five Wicked Dolphin Rum barrels filled with distilled water were sent 90 feet down to the USS Mohawk Veterans Memorial Reef last week, and then raised 72 hours later. This batch will be used to craft the Florida distiller’s latest offering: Sunken Barrel USS Mohawk CGC Reserve.
Wicked Dolphin Rum and Lee Reefs have partnered to create the limited edition rum to benefit the Lee Reefs program and Special Operations Bionic Warriors – a foundation that ensures wounded, injured or ill U.S. Special Operations veterans/athletes receive state-of-the art adaptive sports equipment, coaching and access to cutting-edge sports science that will ensure achievement of their athletic goals.
The barrel sinking at the Mohawk reef site comes just three years after the Mohawk was sunk for use as a veteran’s memorial reef. One hundred percent of the profits will be use to benefit both artificial reefs and the ongoing efforts of the Bionic Warriors.
The USS Mohawk CGC has become a premier dive destination in Florida.

The English curriculum for grades 6-8 at Midlothian Middle School is dictated by the Virginia Standards of Learning, organized according to the Balanced Literacy Model, and implemented through engaging, technology-enhanced instruction in reading comprehension strategies and writing traits. It is through these three distinct lenses that our teachers view the English curriculum, and they plan their lessons, activities, assignments and assessments accordingly.
Mission: The Commonwealth of Virginia has established Standards of Learning that each student must master during each year of English. The skills fall into four categories: communication (speaking, listening, media literacy), reading, writing and research. The standards spiral on each other from grades 6 through 8 in order to prepare students for the Virginia College and Career Ready English Performance Expectations in high school.
Organization: As prescribed by the CCPS Secondary Language Arts Department, English classes at Midlothian Middle use the “Four Blocks” Balanced Literacy model to organize instruction. Time is divided among self-selected reading, guided reading, writing, and vocabulary. Students are evaluated for their performance in each of these areas.
Implementation: Daily instruction focuses on reading comprehension strategies and writing traits. Thirteen specific reading comprehension strategies are taught within the context of fiction and non-fiction, classic and current, teacher and student selected. The six traits of writing – ideas, organization, sentence fluency, voice, and conventions – are also systematically taught and evaluated. Students are provided ample opportunities to practice and share their work while writing about topics of interest. | 2019-04-21T20:35:40 | https://sites.google.com/a/ccpsnet.net/mdms/home/instruction/language-arts |
