|"House of Lahi"[1]
The word "Lahia" is Syriac and means "desert" or "fatigue". It is surrounded by sand dunes, some rise to 55 m (180 ft) above sea level. The area is renowned for its many large sycamore fig trees. The city is known for its fresh, sweet water, berries and citrus trees.[3] According to Edward Henry Palmer, "Lahia" was from "Lahi", a personal name.[1]
Beit Lahia has an ancient hill and nearby lay abandoned village ruins.[3] It has been suggested that it was Bethelia, home town of Sozomen, where there was a temple.[4] Ceramics from the Byzantine period have been found.[5] A mihrab, or mosque alcove indicating the direction of salaah (prayer), is all that remains of an ancient mosque to the west of Beit Lahia dating to the end of the Fatamid period and beginning of the Ayyubid Dynasty of Saladin, and two other mosques dating to the Ottoman period.[3]
Yaqut al-Hamawi († 1229) described "Bait Lihya" as being located "near Ghazzah", and he further noted that "it is a village with many fruit-trees".[6]
Mamluk periodEdit
A marble slab, deposited in the maqam of Salim Abu Musallam in Beit Lahia is inscribed in late Mamluk naskhi letters. It is an epitaph over four sons of the Governor of Gaza, Aqbay al-Ashrafi, who all died in the month of Rajab 897 (=29 April-9 May 1492 CE). It is assumed that the children died of the plague, described by Mujir al-Din, which ravaged Palestine in 1491-2.[7]
Ottoman EmpireEdit
In 1517, the village was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine, and in 1596, Beit Lahia appeared in Ottoman tax registers as being in nahiya (subdistrict) of Gaza under the Gaza Sanjak. It had a population of 70 Muslim households and paid a fix tax rate of 25% on various agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, vineyards, fruit trees, goats and/or beehives.[8]
In 1838, Edward Robinson noted Beit Lehia as a Muslim village, located in the Gaza district.[9]
In May 1863 Victor Guérin visited the village. He described it as "peopled by 250 inhabitants, it occupies an oblong valley, well cultivated, and surrounded by high sand-dunes, which cause a great heat. It is a little oasis, incessantly menaced by moving sand-hills, which surround it on every side, and would engulf it were it not for the continued struggle of man to arrest their progress".[10] An Ottoman village list from about 1870 showed that Beit Lahia had a population of 394, with a total of 118 houses, though the population count included men only.[11][12]
In 1883 the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine described it as a "small village with fine gardens and groves of large and ancient olives in the middle of the sand. It has a well to the south [..] There is a small mosque in the village."[4]
Mandatory PalestineEdit
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Bait Lahia had a population of 871 inhabitants, all Muslims,[13] increasing by the 1931 census to 1,133, still all Muslim, in 223 houses.[14]
In the 1945 statistics the population of Beit Lahiya consisted of 1,700 Muslims[15] and the land area was 38,376 dunams, according to an official land and population survey.[16] Of this, 134 dunams were designated for citrus and bananas, 1,765 for plantations and irrigable land, 15,185 for cereals,[17] while 18 dunams were built-up areas.[18]
On January 4, 2005 seven civilian residents of Beit Lahia, including six members of the same family, were killed, with the incident blamed on shelling by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of the agricultural area where they were working.[citation needed] On June 9, 2006, eight civilians were killed by IDF shells, while picnicking on the northern Gazan beach in Beit Lahia. The dead included seven members of the Ali Ghaliya family.[19] The IDF disputed they were responsible.[20] The town is a frequent target of airstrikes by Israel and has been a battlefield between Israel and Hamas.[when?][citation needed] The Ibrahim al-Maqadna mosque was hit by Israeli missiles in 2009, resulting in 13 deaths.

Shout outs:
Thanks to Deb, who applauded our musical choices, and asked how we pick the songs, so we go on at length about that.
Many congratulations to Catherine, our guest on Episode 8, who welcomed her new granddaughter last week!
And a shout out from us to the people in our lives (in the knitting world and outside) who are having a bit of a hard time right now - we're thinking of you all.
What's going on:
15-16th May: I Knit Fandango, Royal Horticultural Halls, London. We will be there at the Porpoise Fur booth - come say hi!
15-17th May: Gwlana, a knitting retreat in Pembrokeshire, Wales with Brenda Dayne of Cast On and Felicity Ford of Knitsonik.
16-17th May: John Arbon Open Weekend, South Molton, Devon.
23rd May: Highland Wool Festival, Dingwall Mart.
25th May: The Shipston on Stour Wool Fair, Shipston on Stour, South Warwickshire
30-31st May: Proper Woolley, Holsworthy, Devon.
20 June: the Brighton Knit and Make Social - come down to the beach with us for a day of hanging out and relaxing!
What we're working on:
Allison is working on a Big Brother Sweater for a newly-minted big brother, and she's going to be test knitting a cowl for Rachel in Kettle Yarn Co's new Islington DK as soon as Rachel gets a move on and writes up the pattern. She's started a new scarf with some YFP Shetland handspun (leftovers from Rachel's Nymphalidea) and a gorgeous grey DK out of stash. Cleaning up the office netted her some un-catalogued stash hiding away, so she's updated that. She's also been spinning and getting excited about Susan Anderson's book The Spinner's Book of Yarn Designs.
Rachel has been dyeing. And dyeing. And dyeing some more. She's also knit up the KYC Cowl prototype (will be released at the end of June), and has done a bit of spindling on her Massive Spindle Sweaterlot. Because spindle spinning a sweater's worth of yarn is a good idea. Really. But mostly she's been dyeing.
Upcoming excitement:
Our special feature this week is all about upcoming events, specifically I Knit Fandango and our next Yarn in the City event - a mini-crawl in Brighton on 20 June. We highlight vendors we're looking forward to seeing at the Fandango, and talk a bit about what will be on the Porpoise Fur stand.
We also chat about the Brighton trip, and the shops involved. This is going to be a very mellow and low-key event, and we really hope you can join us! Tickets are available now.
As always you can find us on Ravelry, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest. Please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and feedback with us, and please come say hi at any of the events we're attending if you get a chance! Everyone is welcom to come join our Wednesday night knit group from 7-9 pm (or longer) at The Goat on the Rise, Clapham SW11 1EQ.

I tried to email Arnaud Carré about this at his freesurf.fr address, but I got a mail bounce. So, I'll try again, and maybe he'll get it here
I've been using SainT to play (amongst a few other things) Robotz (http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-st ... 10420.html), a PD game I remembered playing as a boy, quite a long time ago now.
I noticed a problem while playing it with SainT: if you're using cursor key joystick emulation, you can make impossible joystick movements, which causes problems with Robotz. if you press Up and Down at the same time, the player sprite messes up; and if you press Left and Right simultaneously, the game crashes.
(The debugger didn't seem to stop at the exception, so I didn't try to dig any deeper. I was never much good at figuring out other people's assembly language code anyway.)
Obviously this game has some dodgy coding! - but I bet it won't be the only one. At least by default I suppose SainT should just not report impossible joystick movements? I guess by being consistent (e.g., pressing Left+Right always results in Left), or by preferring whichever direction was pressed most recently, or maybe something else.
(Hatari doesn't suffer from this problem, but it doesn't do a great job of untangling the keypresses. So if you press Left+Right while playing Robotz in Hatari, the guy just stops moving, and he's stuck until you lift off both keys.)

Coventry's Jill Pittard lost in a tough second round match to Commonwealth Games Gold medallist and Great Britain No1 Kelly Morgan on day two of the Yonex All England badminton championships at Birmingham's NIA.
Losing 7-3, 7-0, 7-2 in 28 minutes, the disappointed Pittard said: "I made too many mistakes, I was tight around the net and found it tough.
"I didn't relax and tried too hard as I really wanted to beat her
"I put too much pressure on myself and made too many errors. Next time I will know more, she is not unbeatable".

GRAND RAPIDS — One day about a year ago, while doing a tutorial on adding weather icons to a website, AJ Paschka wondered aloud how difficult it might be to develop a program that uses meta data to create a collage based on current weather conditions.
Paschka's idea for an application that could, for instance, suggest the perfect beer to sip based on the current air temperature, is $5,000 closer to reality after winning Tuesday's second 5x5 Night idea competition payout.
"It's a very technical idea and I had to really work on explaining how it might affect your life in a very simple way," said Paschka, 31, a Kendall College of Art and Design graduate who works at the Grand Rapids Art Museum.
"There was something magical about it and we thought it was interesting," said ArtPrize founder and Amway heir Rick DeVos, one of the judges.
"There was a strong sense with the other projects that they either weren't quite there yet, or they were great and would happen no matter what."
Paschka's Weather Collage, developed with friend Andy Weber of People Design, will undergo engineering and development in the coming months.
The other ideas presented were:
Margarita Barry — 71 POP: A collaborative shop for artists in Detroit.
Landon Bartley — Storefront Windows To The World: A projection of Grand Rapids sister city images on the windows in empty storefronts.
David Buick — FitCup: A specially designed cup for marathon runners that is easier to drink from.
Nicole Infante — Grand Rapids Signature Sandwich Competition: A local contest to develop a sandwich that would put Grand Rapids on the "national food map."
Money was not split between the four other candidates Tuesday night. DeVos said the judges "didn't want to leave people betwixt and between," he said.
He said some of the Feb. 22 winners were on the hook for bi-monthly progress updates on their idea implementation, while perhaps not having received enough investment dollars to really spur things along.
He said Brian Gerrity's Fire & Knife underground supper club, winner of $2,000 last month, will be due for a progress update in April.
About 150 people — including Dick DeVos — attended the presentation at the art museum and announcement at the Reserve wine bar downtown, down slightly from the 200-plus at the inaugural event.
Infante's sandwich competition was a crowd favorite based on the live projected Twitter display. People on mobile devices interacted with the #5x5night hashtag and #grandwich became its own hashtag before the judges even finished interviewing the candidates.
Judges on Tuesday night were DeVos, artist and columnist Tommy Allen; Cynthia Kay, chair of the Small Business Association of Michigan; entrepreneur Mike Morin; and Gwen O'Brien, co-principal and creative director at Plenty Creative.
The next 5x5 Night on April 26 will be held at the Grand Rapids Ballet, 341 Ellsworth Ave. SW, and the announcement of the winner will happen at Founders Brewery nearby.

Meet Sam, The Green Yogi's Yogi of the Month. She is bubbly, engaging, committed to her practice, and a Cornell alum, Go Big Red. Don't you wish your 5th grade teacher was this much fun?
Be Inspired,
Profession: 5th grade teacher, Chadwick School
Fun Fact: After extensive discussion it has been determined that if I were a character on Friends I'd be Monica.
Who is your favorite teacher and why? This is a very hard question for me because I have several favorite Green Yogi instructors for many different reasons. If I'm forced to chose I'd have to say Amy Beausang because of her special blend of spirituality and the physical intensity of her flows. Amy is one of those people in my life with which I had an immediate connection. I always leave her classes feeling rejuvenated in both body and mind.
What are your intentions for your yoga practice? My intention for almost every yoga practice is Gratitude. I'm so thankful for the many blessings in my life, and I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to be present to my intention for an hour and 15 minutes every time I step onto my yoga mat.
What inspires you? My fifth grade students. Their love of life, inquisitiveness, and loyalty are an inspiration to me everyday.
How long have you practiced yoga and how has it improved your life? I've been practicing yoga consistently for the past five years. Not only has it improved my muscle tone in my entire body, it has been the best workout for my mind and spirit. Yoga has brought spirituality into my life that I didn't even know was missing. After a particularly stressful day at work I look forward to getting on my mat and releasing and letting go. It always does the trick! I've been practicing at The Green Yogi since it opened 3 years ago, and I have met such amazing people and made so many great friends. The Green Yogi is such a special community in itself and we're so lucky to have such a special studio in North Manhattan Beach.

What's In Store
Harris Teeter to open its 1st NC gas station Wednesday
Harris Teeter will open its first gas station in North Carolina Wednesday.
The grocer is opening a supermarket and a fuel center at 8 a.m. at 12190 University City Blvd. in Harrisburg's Caldwell Crossing shopping center, which is about 10 minutes from UNC Charlotte.
The 53,000-square-foot store will be open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It will offer amenities typical to a new Harris Teeter store, including a fresh fruit bar, self-serve olives, sub shop, free blood pressure testing and Express Lane online shopping.
Harris Teeter's seven-pump gas station in Harrisburg is the company's third; it operates two others in South Carolina.
The grocer also plans to one day open another gas station in Charlotte's Steele Creek area, property records show.
Kroger started implementing some of its own initiatives at Harris Teeter stores when it completed its acquisition of the Matthews-based grocery chain in January 2014. At the time, Kroger said it was considering bringing gas stations to Harris Teeter stores.
Experts say adding gas stations is one more way Harris Teeter is giving itself an edge in the increasingly competitive Charlotte grocery industry, especially as rival Publix continues to grow. Harris Teeter has also taken other steps, including upgrading existing locations or adding new ones close to rival stores.

In their latest software version release, 7.2.2, Globalscape have released three new automation modules for Enhanced File Transfer™ SMB Server. EFT SMB offers an operationally efficient and secure file transfer solution, far exceeding any legacy or ad hoc file transfer solution. Organisations can use EFT SMB for secure file transfer, fast and intuitive setup, advanced automation, real-time visibility into data transfers, and much more.
Ad hoc file transfer solutions often force you to find workarounds to manage your data workflows and processes. Those who try to find workarounds like manual processes or programming with scripts often find themselves facing added challenges and limitations that could impact reliability or accuracy. Through these new EFT SMB automation modules, you can automatically transfer secure files that are protected at rest and in transit.
New Automation Modules
The new automation modules allow you to add enterprise-level automation to EFT SMB Server, with only the purchase of the module necessary.
- The Folder Monitor module creates an Event Rule trigger used to detect the creation, deletion, and renaming of files in a monitored folder, and to perform Actions based on these triggers. For example, perhaps a weekly report is uploaded to a specific folder. You can define an Event Rule so that when EFT SMB detects that a file has been added to the folder, and an email is sent to notify one or more users that the report is available for download.
- The Timer module allows you to execute a specified Action only one time or to repeat at specified intervals. For example, you could schedule an Action to occur on July 8 at midnight, or every Monday morning, or on the last Friday of every month at 2 a.m.
- The File Transfer Client module enables EFT SMB admins to define copy, move, and download actions in Event Rules. For example, you could define a rule to trigger when a file is downloaded, so that EFT SMB moves it to another folder.
Also, built-in to EFT SMB is the Command interface through which you can define custom commands to trigger programs, scripts, or batch files from a command line or in client such as CuteFTP®.
EFT SMB can automate the delivery of data when it's needed, instead of when you have time to do it, to increase your day-to-day productivity and overall operational efficiency.
Built in to EFT SMB:
- Run executables, batch files, and scripts as specific events occur
- Send notification email when specific event occurs
With the addition of modules:
- Perform OpenPGP operations as files are uploaded or downloaded
- Copy/move/download files automatically
- Generate reports
- Monitor folders for changes
- Schedule events to occur on specific dates, times, days of the week, days of the month
Upgrading your EFT Environment
Upgrading EFT can appear daunting and time consuming, you have to backup your data, backup your settings, update your development "sandbox," then push it to production–assuming everything goes well. Upgrading software like EFT can be a huge decision that might require approval from several departments, with pressure to ensure all goes smoothly.
Wait! – Pro2col can help!
– Contact our support engineers today to plan your upgrade or get the upgrade instructions and your new registration serial number – firstname.lastname@example.com / 0333 123 1260.
Globalscape End of Life Policy
Usually Globalscape "EOL" a product when there are two newer versions available. However, because of the number of customers who were still happily using version 6.5, they chose to delay the end of support for that version. Now the end date for EFT version 6.5 is on March 2, 2016.
If you have a current Maintenance and Support plan, you can get the upgrade to the new version for free. Why don't you upgrade today? If you don't have a current maintenance plan – please contact one of our Globalscape consultants on 0207 118 9640.

A man who used someone else's credit card number to pay for three airline tickets for a flight today to the Bahamas isn't going to make the trip, according to police.
Instead, Sheldon Dennis Rubenstein, 37, took a ride with police Thursday to the Broward County Jail after signing for the tickets that an undercover detective delivered to his Fort Lauderdale apartment, police said.
Detectives have had their eye on Rubenstein since last summer -- ever since he attempted to bilk two Galleria mall shoe stores by phoning in credit card orders for gift certificates, Detective Leo Koloian said.
Detectives are investigating at least $700 in other purchases Rubenstein may have made before his arrest, Koloian said.
On Thursday, Rubenstein's downfall started when he phoned the Sunrise Travel Center at 1482 N. Federal Highway for three $218 tickets for a Bahamas Air flight, Koloian said.
Rubenstein, using the name Charles Bibb, told a travel agent to bill the tickets to Bibb's Mastercharge card number, the detective said.
Agency officials, leery because of a rise in phone order rip-offs industrywide, called the real Bibb, who told them he didn't order any tickets, Koloian said.
The next call the agency made was to police. Rubenstein wanted the tickets delivered to his apartment in the 1000 block of Northeast Eighth Street, and detectives were happy to oblige.
Rubenstein was charged with grand theft, forgery of a credit card receipt and obtaining property by false personation.

Dharamsala is a small town in India at the foot of the Himalaya mountains. Luckily I was picked together with nine other Celanese colleagues from all around the world to volunteer in a CSR project with kids between the age of one and five.
Emotional was this journey to a country and culture that is so different to my own life in Europe. The kids made me laugh and cry. The feelings that I had each day are very difficult to describe.
Adventurous were our taxi rides.
Rose and thorns were our daily evening rituals in which we described our daily highs and lows and learned so much more about each other, about our feelings, emotions and personalities.

Sewing Every Day Plan was a Disaster
Today was my first day back to work. It was a work in your classroom day to prepare for the kids coming. Monday is jammed full of meetings and Tuesday the kids start. It will be my 25th year of teaching (I guess I am getting old) and I still love being with the kids and trying to inspire them to love math.
Tonight we just had some casseroles that I had frozen. I had an 8 by 8 dish of chicken penne pasta alfredo and an 8 by 8 dish of chicken stuffing casserole. My sons were hungry after golf practice and there wasn't much left to put in the fridge. What was left will be packed for someone's lunch. Speaking of school lunches, the quality has gone down and the prices have gone up, so I am going to try to pack 4 times a week, if not every day. Today I took a grilled chicken salad with sun dried tomato feta and lots of garden veggies.
I will be glad to be back in a routine. Hopefully things calm down at work.

Sewing Every Day for a Week - Saturday - Noodlehead Gathered Clutch
noodlehead gathered clutch a long time ago and it turned out really cute. At that time I cut out the pieces for 4 more and they have been sitting in my sewing room ever since. I pulled one out and finished it today. 3 more to go! They are fun but they take me a few hours to make. Maybe I am just slow! I did add a lot of details. It has a detachable wrist strap, a divider and 2 credit card pockets.
Sew Every Day for a Week - Wednesday and Friday - Crayon Rolls
I hate to admit it, but I didn't sew on Thursday. Some crazy stuff was going on and my phone was ringing off the hook. I can see already that a week is not going to cut it for what I need to catch up on in the sewing room. I am going to extend it out until next Friday which will make it 10 days of sewing since I missed a day. I am having fun doing this.
I can't believe how long the crayon rolls took. It seemed like I was cutting out pieces and interfacing for hours!
Sewing Every Day for a Week - or Not...
On Wednesday I cut out the pieces for 12 crayon rolls and sewed 4 of them together. Maybe I am doing something wrong but it seemed to take hours to cut all the pieces and they were all rectangles. Thursday was a little crazy because life is like a soap opera right now and I was tapped out and never made it to the sewing machine. Friday night I finished the other 8 crayon rolls. We will have to see what tomorrow brings. Even though I missed a day I am going to keep plugging away. Sewing is good therapy.

Athens to Argolis Family Day Trip – 1 Day Road Trip
It's time to hit the road on our family day trip from Athens to the Argolis region of Greece! See the famous Corinth Canal, visit ancient Mycenae home of the legendary Agamemnon, enjoy romantic Nafplio, and take a seat in the ancient theatre of Epidaurus.
If you are looking for a 1 day family road trip from Athens that offers a taste of the Peloponnese, our Athens To Argolis Family Day Trip is ideal. Let our expert local guide show you around this beautiful part of Greece, where each stop and view is more spectacular than the last.
On leaving Athens, you will first cross Corinth Canal where you can stop for photos. Our guide will give you some background history behind the canal's construction, and also reveal the rivalry between ancient Athens and Corinth.
After leaving Corinth Canal, the family road trip continues through the Argolis countryside on its way to Mycenae. This ancient kingdom was home to the legendary Agamemnon, who took part in the Trojan War. Take your time looking around this incredible ancient site, and wonder just how men moved those giant rocks thousands of years ago to build the Cyclopean Walls.
The next destination on this family road trip from Athens, is the romantic town of Nafplio. With stunning Venetian architecture, and quaint little cobblestone alleyways, it also has incredible sea views. Remember to ask your guide about why the Venetians had to build the port fortifications to protect the town from pirates!
On leaving Nafplio, the next port of call is the magnificent ancient theatre of Epidaurus. This was built so well, it is still used today! Quite often, outdoor performances are held there. You can see for yourselves how good the acoustics are if you go inside!
Finally, the tour ends back in Athens. It's been a full day of sightseeing, but what a day! Mycenae and the sanctuary of Asclepius in Epidavros are both UNESCO World Heritage sites. You've learned a lot about ancient Greece and its legends, and you have seen some beautiful countryside. What a perfect way to spend a day with the family in Greece!

Lunch Dinner Menu Ideas / South Indian Recipes / Lunch Dinner Menu 14 / Aatu Kaal Paya recipe / Appam recipe / Goat Leg Gravy / Lamb Trotters / Goat Leg Soup / Hoem Style aatu Kaal Paya recipe / Lunch Recipes / Dinner Recipes / Brunch Recipes / Sunday Lunch Ideas / Weekend Lunch Ideas / Weekend Lunch Recipes /Non-Vegetarian Lunch Recipes
Can anything beat this combo? You won't beleive…I'm drooling just typing, its that delicious! Aatu Kaal Paya is one super delish curry made from goat/lamb legs/ trotter/ goat feet. Back in India we use to have this delicacy atleast once a month…its quite a preparation, they smoke / (called theekarathu in tamil) the goat legs to get rid of the hair – this gives a smokey flavor to the dish. Its slow cooked with spices the previous night and made to soak overnight and end up into a scrumptious gravy the next morning. It is usually eaten with appam, iddiappam, idly, dosa, kal dosa and similar varieties for breakfast, other avatars of paya can be had with naan, roti, phulka thats mostly in northern India. This week, had a chance to stop at my fav meat market which had fresh paya- just kidding! I saw the butcher linning them in the freezer in mini packs, which means its fresh to some extent! There is nothing fresh when it comes to meat they are all from the freezer… atleast its good to know they are not too stale. Paya anytime means too much work but its all worth it! I did make a batch of Idli/dosa batter but lately aapam is very popular at my house, Sid enjoys them a lot and guess i need soak for them too. Its sunday, we all woke up late…skipped our breakfast and prepared ourselves for this great brunch! Here goes today's menu…
Click on the link for the recipe.
1. Appam recipe
2. Aatu Kaal Paya recipe
To get this menu work we need little bit of planning. Soak for Appam batter atleast a day earlier and allow it ferment over night. Get the paya the previous day, wash and clean it. If you wish to smoke them- then use your oven to smoke the goat trotters. Pressure cook them with the juice along with some turmeric, ginger garlic, coriander powder, salt and pepper. You may keep this soup ready to make gravy the next day. It tastes better when it soaks a bit.
The next morning you have your appam batter ready, grate enough coconut to get coconut milk for appam and also for the gravy. You need quite a lot of stuff for gravy- little bit of chopped onion, tomato etc along with ginger garlic paste, masala paste & coconut paste. I'm following my aunts recipe here which I adore a lot and drool quite a bit when she makes this curry. Once you have all them ready, it all looks simple. Get the gravy working on one side and when everyone is ready for lunch start making appams. For this recipe we need soft appam with not too crispy sides… its just a personal preference. If you don't have appam batter just use regular idli dosa batter to make thick kal dosais which goes well with this gravy.

text: August 2018 Effective Implementation of Traffic Accident Review Boards Institution-owned vehicles are a significant liability for colleges and a source of some of United Educators' (UE) most costly claims. Institutions are establishing a traffic accident review board to help manage this risk and promote the safe operation of their vehicles. These boards investigate all college vehicle accidents to determine whether they were preventable and what responsive action can be taken. To effectively use these boards in supporting a culture of driver safety and accountability, consider the following recommendations. Authority Determine which office will oversee the board. Often, they are managed by the general counsel, risk management, or insurance office. Select staff from the campus' public safety team, transportation department, risk office, and police force to serve on the board. Guidelines Develop a policy regarding preventable and nonpreventable accidents. Provide details about the board's responsibilities Enumerate the steps in the investigation and accident review process Define preventable and nonpreventable accidents Establish a standard for findings of responsibility Set forth the disciplinary consequences for a preventable accident finding Consult with legal counsel to ensure that your school's policy and board meet all state law requirements. Create an appeals process that gives the driver the right to have the board's decision reviewed by another committee or individual within the institution. Consistency Develop an accident report form to collect all evidence and information in a standardized manner. Determine what data will be provided to the board for each assessment. Consider including: Police and driver accident reports Driver and witness statements Police, insurance, or institution investigation reports Photographs Relevant facts such as speed and visibility Keep the driver's name and any identifying details anonymous to maintain impartiality. Create a model written decision to ensure the board's determinations are issued in a uniform manner.Following these recommendations will enhance the traffic accident review board's investigation and decision-making process as it works to improve vehicle safety on campus.

Decision making can be defined as the process of choosing a preferred option or course of action from a set of alternatives. In order to understand how humans make decisions and even predict decision-making behavior, academics in various fields such as psychology and economics, have developed formal models of decision-making behavior. These models have been inspired by behavioral data and the computational demands required of a decision making task. For example, sequential sampling models have been developed to account for behavioral data, and reinforcement learning models for repeated choice tasks have been developed to account for the computational demands of a task.
Importantly, cognitive functions such as decision making, cannot be completely understood on the basis of mathematical models and behavioral data alone; consideration of the neuronal processes underlying decision making is crucial. Thus, we are currently investigating how mental (cognitive) and neuronal processes map onto each other. A central goal of our group is to explicitly link brain function and behavior using formal models of decision-making behavior.
In pursuit of this goal, we're investigating decision making in three different domains:
In order to conduct the above research we employ an integrative, multimodal and methodological approach consisting of techniques ranging from cognitive modeling based on behavioral data to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and magnetencephalographic (MEG) experiments.

I feel like a kid in a leaf pile, Jukeboxers. Fall TV is officially back in session, and TV Jukebox is frolicking around to the flood of amazing new music hitting the airwaves. Admittedly, not all the moments have been pure joy, as seen in Thursday's heartbreaking Glee tribute to Cory Monteith and that bullet-to-the-gut ending of Breaking Bad, but there's plenty of fun to be had — especially by vampires (who would have guessed it?).
So, if you've been wondering "What's that song?" while watching your favorite shows, we're here to tell you. Check out our picks and the Spotify playlist below. (Warning for those still catching up on DVR: SPOILERS ahead!)
GLEE (Fox)*
The song: Lea Michele, "Make You Feel My Love"
The episode: "The Quarterback" (303)
The hook: The ensemble cover of Rent's "Seasons of Love" got some Twitter attention, but last night was all Lea Michele's. After opening the season with the Beatles' mournful lament that "Yesterday came suddenly," Michele wept her way through a gut-wrenching performance of the Bob Dylan-penned ode — a layered tribute to her late on- and off-screen boyfriend Cory Monteith, who passed away unexpectedly from a drug overdose in July.
The song: Badfinger, "Baby Blue"
The episode: "Felina" (516)
The scene: Vince Gilligan chose Badfinger's 1971 rocker to close out the series and represent Walt's (Bryan Cranston) love for the blue meth on which he built an empire. In Bad's final moments, lead singer Pete Ham crooned, "Guess I got what I deserve" as Walt lovingly caressed the cooker he and Jesse had created, then settled on the floor as his life fell away.
Read Denise Warner's recap and find out what Badfinger member Joey Molland had to say about the song popping up in Bad
The song: Underworld, "Bird 1"
The episode: "Wujing" (103)
The hook: Thai-London singer-songwriter Hugo's rootsy cover of his mentor/label owner Jay Z's "99 Problems" provided a nice kicker for Blacklist's Sept. 23 pilot. It was like the cherry on top of Jim James' "State of the Art (A.E.I.O.U.)," which played as FBI Agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) discovered her husband Tom (Ryan Eggold) isn't exactly as lily-white as she'd always believed — or at least that what dozens of passports and international currency notes would imply. This past Monday, London electronica outfit Underworld's throbbing tune about eavesdropping conveyed the air of paranoia as thugs infiltrated the Keens' home to plant bugs, nearly getting discovered by Tom's nurse along the way. At the end of the hour, Robert Koch's "Here With Me" added context to Liz's dilemma with the lyrics "Caught in the riptide, I was searching for the truth," then noting, "There was a reason I collided into you" — could that reflect her uneasy alliance with Raymond "Red" Reddington (James Spader)?
Read Darren Franich's premiere react
The song: Alt-J, "Tessellate"
The episode: "The Mad King" (605)
The hook: Sharks and shapes define the Brit indie poppers' moody 2012 release, which played Oct. 8 as the SAMCRO boys surveilled their Irish adversaries and a triangulation of scenes elsewhere laid out the rivalry's escalating body count. By hour's end, the Irish had blown up their clubhouse to the yowly goodness of the Civil Wars' "I Had Me a Girl." And we thought the bikers were out for blood before?
Read Mandi Bierly's recap and get the inside scoop on director Gwyneth Horder-Payton's feelings about "The Mad King"
THE VAMPIRE DIARIES (The CW)
The song: Lorde, "Royals"
The episode: "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (501)
The hook: Music supervisor Chris Mollere dug the teen phenom's chart-topper for the Oct. 3 season 5 opener because "what better soundtrack [is there for two secret vampires] heading off to try to live a 'normal' college life? The final line that we have featured in the scene of "let me live that fantasy" conveys exactly what the girls are setting out to do, which is be normal girls for a little bit and enjoy college life. The song has a vibe to it that is exactly where Elena [Nina Dobrev] and Caroline [Candice Accola] are at in the moment, but it also has a little tinge of darkness that lets us feel that something interesting is to come for them here on campus." But, as fun as the girly times have been these past two weeks, let's be honest: We're here for the hotness. And Mollere gave us just that, opting for the "playful feel" of Vampire Weekend's bouncy "Unbelievers" to underscore some hot Delena makeout action at the top of the premiere. Then in this Thursday's episode, Plumb's "Don't Deserve You" provided a more melodic moment as Damon (Ian Somerhalder) let Elena leave to look for Stefan (Paul Wesley). As the saying goes, he hates to see her go, but he loves to watch her leave.
Read Mandi Bierly's premiere recap and her take on episode 2
NEW GIRL (Fox)
The song: Paula Cole, "I Don't Wanna Wait"
The episode: "Nerd" (302)
The hook: New Girl's Sept. 17 ep was packed with typically kooky musical selections, from Jess (Zooey Deschanel) belting out 4 Non Blondes' "What's Up?" — while dancing in a toilet — to impress her cool new teacher friends to the guys revealing that "I Believe I Can Fly" by R. Kelly is their hangover wake-up song. But that uncomfortable moment when you have to get into the jacuzzi with your boyfriend and your creepshow new principal? What if it were set to Paula Cole's '90s anthem? Absurd, uncomfortable, twisted, perfect. Bonus! A montage set to Daft Punk and Pharrell's summer party jam "Get Lucky" when Jess and Nick (Jake Johnson) were trying to… well, you can probably guess. (Sorry Punks, your tune set the mood about as well as Jess calling her roomfriend "fat fat fatty.")
The song: Rick James, "Superfreak"
The episode: "It's Handled" (301)
The hook: If you're going to call the President "super-doable," this is the song that should be playing behind you. Well done, utterly replaceable vice presidential aide-turned-patsy (and well done, Music Supervisor Alexandra Patsavas).
THE ORIGINALS (The CW)
The song: The Delta Riggs, "Street Signs & Brake Lights"
The episode: "House of the Rising Son" (102)
The hook: Putting the "jam" in The Originals' musical jambalaya, Tuesday's episode featured contemporary tracks from TV on the Radio and Yeah Yeah Yeahs alongside appropriately rootsy N'awlins-style chooglers including Ryan Montbleau's "Yeah Man" and the Riggs' spicy cowbell clanker.
The song: Clare Bowen, "Waitin'"
The episode: "I Don't Wanna Talk About It Now" (203)
The hook: A sleek new 'do, sexy styling, and the sultry vibe of Caitlin Rose's original, Scarlett (Bowen) wowed at a showcase this past Wednesday. Gunnar (Sam Palladio) felt the heat from the oh-so-applicable refrain about "waitin' on a broken heart"… and he was in fine company — tweeters dug the cover.
Read Annie Barrett's recap and watch EW's Google Hangout with Palladio
The song: "Custom Car Crash," Calla
The episode: "Bitchcraft" (301)
The hook: Twitter couldn't ignore the early-on insanity of Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) tripping out to Iron Butterfly's 1968 rocker "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," but we liked the slightly portentous choice of "Crash." Texan indie rockers' chiller played as goodhearted frat bro Kyle (Evan Peters) experienced lust at first sight with teen witch Zoe (Taissa Farmiga). Turns out, the song was actually a spooky warning—Zoe's witchy sister Madison (Emma Roberts) eventually flipped Kyle's fraternity's party bus as revenge after the frat boys gang-raped her. (Bonus: That same bus had been playing the highly dance-able "Seize the Night (Francophilippe Remix)" by Foxe Basin earlier in the ep.) Sure, it wasn't the most over-the-top moment of AHS's Wednesday night season premiere, but we'd frankly be hard-pressed to say what was. We're buckling our seatbelts for Coven, which is proving even battier than AHS Original Recipe and Asylum before it.
The song: Metalachi, "Livin' on a Prayer"
The episode: "The Crazy Place" (113)
The hook: Though The Bridge could get as dark as the tunnels under Charlotte's (Annabeth Gish) stable-slash-drug-HQ, the metal Mariachi band's bright take on Bon Jovi's 1986 arena rocker added a light touch to Charlotte's in-too-deep situation. Played just before the halfway point of the season finale, the upbeat message of "Prayer" signaled that the show might just find a way for Charlotte & Co. to "make it, I swear."
SLEEPY HOLLOW (Fox)
The song: Frank Sinatra, "Witchcraft"
The episode: "Blood Moon" (102)
The hook: Hollow's been incorporating hilariously on-the-nose oldies during its first weeks on air, including this 1957 Ol' Blue Eyes track, which played as a fire witch incinerated an unlucky schlub because of his lineage.
THE MINDY PROJECT (Fox)
The song: The National, "I Need My Girl"
The episode: "Music Festival" (203)
The hook: Though the Flaming Lips' cover of "Borderline" set up the mismatch between Mindy (Mindy Kaling) and Casey (Anders Holm) during an aborted wedding march in the season premiere, the National offered up a live performance of their swoonsome "Girl" (which also appeared on Parenthood's Oct. 3 ep) as the fiancés finally split at the end of Mindy's Oct. 1 ep. On the bright side, a new couple has an engagement anthem: Morgan (Ike Barinholtz) and Danny (Chris Messina)!
The song: Kendrick Lamar, "Swimming Pools (Drank)"
The episode: "Everybody's Crying Mercy" (1003)
The hook: Lamar's dark banger was an oddly interesting choice as Leah (Tessa Ferrer) and Callie (Sara Ramirez) watched a patient die on the table in the Oct. 3 ep. More in line with Grey's musical standards: a classic ep-ending montage set to Pearl Jam's "Future Days" this Thursday.
Read Annie Barrett's "Mercy" recap and read what she thought about "Puttin' on the Ritz"
MASTERS OF SEX (Showtime)
The song: James Blake, "Retrograde"
The episode: "Race to Space" (102)
The hook: Blake's eerily atmosphere electronic track played out on Masters' this past Sunday. Its isolationist lyrics ("You're on your own in a world you've grown") echoed the growing distance not just between driven-to-a-fault sexologist Bill Masters (Michael Sheen) and the receptionist-turned-study-cohort he'd awkwardly propositioned Virginia Johnson (Lizzy Caplan), but also between Bill and the entire world as he forged forward with his alienating, scandalizing sexual study.
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (The CW)*
The song: Wanderhouse, "Lights"
The episode: "Who Am I?" (201)
The hook: Twitter fans felt spark from the L.A. duo's dreamy Ellie Goulding cover, which segued into Goulding's more uptempo 2010 original as Catherine (Kristin Kreuk) caught some uneasy Zzzzs, dreaming of her traumatic last encounter with love Vincent (Jay Ryan), at the start of Monday's season 2 premiere.
The song: London Grammar, "Hey Now"
The episode: "Fear" (301)
The hook: Jukeboxers on Twitter enjoyed Quadron's chiller-than-chill "Sea Salt," which played over a smoochy moment between Emily (Emily VanCamp) and fiancé Daniel (Josh Bowman) during the Sept. 30 premiere, but we have to give the edge to English pop trio London Grammar's "Hey Now," which provided such a deceptively cool vibe as Aiden (Barry Sloane) returned to throw the Hamptons into turmoil (again!) by forging a surprise alliance with Victoria (Madeleine Stowe). Revenge revels in turning the tables, and this was a musically charged game changer.
The song: Joshua Radin, "My My Love"
The episode: "It Has To Be Now" (501)
The hook: Radin's dainty ditty about forever-love provided a sweet soundtrack to cry to as Amber (Mae Whitman) welcomed Ryan (Matt Lauria) back from Afghanistan and accepted his marriage proposal — an offer he confessed had been completely spur-of-the-moment to the tune of Local Natives' "Heavy Feet" during the Oct. 3 episode.[spotify id="spotify%3Auser%3Aew.com%3Aplaylist%3A5oFLFsIeUKMabwVi1lngiY" /]

I have not been feeling well the last couple of days. It is most likely a combo of weather changes and stress.
Stress is one of the number 1 killers of your immune system. To save you all the boring (or fascinating to Geeks like me) science behind stress and your immune system I will use the following analogy to explain how stress makes us sick. Imagine stress in your body as a light switch. When we are stressed out our body gets switched on. This is good. I mean we all need light when it is dark right? And we all need to remain focused, alert, and calm during times of stress. But what happens if we do not turn off the switch? Our light burns out.
If you are like me, you go, go, go, go, go and have little time to relax. In other words, I forget to turn off my switch and my light burns out. I'm left with a weakened immune system and I am more vulnerable to germs. It is gross I know, but true. So here I am not feeling well. Typically a workout is all I need to feel better. In my head I scream go to the gym, but my body does not agree. It becomes a battle between mind and body. It is you vs you!
We need to listen to our bodies. We also need to listen to our mind. So how do you know when to listen to your body and when to listen to your mind?
1. I evaluate my thoughts! Are my thoughts negative and destructive? If I am thinking things like, "you are so lazy", or "I am such a bum", I will only feel bad about myself. This is not helpful. If I can think, "you deserve to rest", "you are making healthy choices", I will feel more able to relax.
2. Next I listen to my body. How do I feel? Are these aches soreness of working out or do I ache because my body needs to rest. Workout soreness should only linger for 2-3 days following a workout. Your body will hurt in the area you worked out. But if my back hurts and I haven't worked out my back in 3 days that is my cue, I need to rest.
I love rating scales. Like from 1-10, so I use this to gage where my body is at.
3. I ask myself how my body feels on a scale of 1-10. 10 is "awesome, great, ready to take on the world"! 1 is "terrible, sick, pathetic, weak"! I think that 7 is normal, for me! So while I am fighting myself to decide if I need a workout or not I evaluate where I am at on the scale. For me, a5 is "I could make it to the gym but not workout as hard, maybe decrease my weight". A 3 for me is "take a break, stay home, and relax"!
4. If I evaluate I am below a 7, and not feeling myself I also question what does my body want or need today? Last night I wanted Mac-n-cheese. It is SO not healthy and SO not something I typically eat but my body wanted to eat that. Perhaps it is a comfort food and I wanted that comfort so I ate it and I was no longer craving that meal.
5. Balance is the key. I cannot let my body win that battle every time. Today, although still not feeling my best I am craving bad food. But my mind knows what is best and I will allow those thoughts to make sure I fuel my body with fruits and vegetables today, not unhealthy comfort foods.
Honor your body. Treat it well. Constantly pushing our bodies will wear us out. I am an advocate for physical activity and frequent movement as long as we let our bodies rest. I also advocate for healthy and balanced eating, but if we don't allow a cheat every now and then we can become mentally drained. We need healthy eating and physical activity, but we also need rest and relaxation. Today I chose to let my body recharge and tomorrow I have a new day to make it to the gym. Rather than a you vs you situation make it a You LOVING You situation!

Another wonderful AICP National Conference is in the books! Seattle delivered with beautiful weather, and AICP delivered with great content, networking, and compliance insights.
I was honored to be a part of a panel featuring Maureen Perry, Product Reviewer with the Interstate Compact, and Ted Newton, Advertising Review with Mass Mutual. Together we selected what we saw as four overarching issues to be on the lookout for within the world of advertising review for life, health, and annuities.
- Consumer Confusion – Who is Offering What?
- Carrier Confusion – What is advertising?
- Electronic vs. Printed Advertising – Capabilities and Challenges
- Consumer Engagement – Plain Language, Disclosure, Engagement
Now, each of these topics could be broken down further and have their own dedicated sessions to really dig into how issues show up and how to tackle them. Still, we were able to discuss lots of ways to manage these hot topics and enjoyed an engaging conversation with the audience.
So how can you address these issues? Here are some of the key takeaways for each category:
- The issuing carrier must be made clear and prominent. Some states have more specific requirements about what this means than others, but there should be no question about who is issuing the policy.
- The definition of "advertising" is broad, and it's best to cast a wide net to make sure your company is catching all the ads. If you don't know if something is considered an ad or not, start with this question, "What is the intent of this flyer/tweet/brochure/tv commercial, etc." Is it to promote insurance (generally, or specific products), your products, your services, your agents/agencies? If the answer is yes (and there's a lot of times it's going to be a yes) – then it's an ad and needs to be handled as such.
- When it comes to electronic vs. printed ads, there are pros and cons on both sides. We talked a lot about space restrictions and how specific you can get in a limited space ad. Rule of thumb – less space, less specific.
- Finally, we rounded out our discussion with a big trend, which is the use of "plain language" or "plain English" in both insurance ads and in the contracts, themselves. We expect to see challenges to the traditional language and terminology that's used in the insurance space for lots of reasons – target markets, selling products direct to consumer are just a couple of the drivers – while the idea of having language that's familiar and understandable is certainly appealing from a compliance perspective (we want people to clearly understand how it works, what they're buying). What that looks like while still having protection measures in place against litigation and/or regulatory violations is still very much up in the air. That said, it's important for compliance professionals and regulators to keep an open mind here and work with others on what makes sense. There's lots of room at the table to make insurance more accessible and understandable, it just needs open minds and discussions to make sure it stays reasonable and not simplified to the point it creates expectations that aren't accurate.
If you're interested in hearing more about these topics, drop us a line with any questions or comments you have or advertising issues you're struggling with!!

The tide seemed to be turning against Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler in his current pout-off with new coach Josh McDaniels over trade talks in which McDaniels considered swapping Cutler for former New England Patriots signal-caller Matt Cassel. Former Broncos color commentator (and current Denver Nuggets announcer) Scott Hastings called Cutler "a little bitch" on ESPN Radio, and plenty of people appeared ready to agree with him. But don't sleep on the growing anti-McDaniels constituency, whose new home base is KeepJayFireMcDaniels.com, a website dedicated to the sacking of McDaniels before he gets a chance to coach a single game.
The site was name-checked by sportswriter Jim Armstrong in yesterday's Denver Post along with a slightly less histrionic web address, SaveJayCutler.com, and it links to yet another McDaniels-bashing page -- an online petition to hand the new field general his head. Here's the petition's intro:
The reason for this petition is to get rid of the Denver Broncos new coach, Josh McDaniels. McDaniels was hired as the Broncos head coach, following the firing of Mike Shanahan. While Josh McDaniels was a very good offensive coach in New England, he has stated that he would have like to have traded 2008 Pro-Bowl selection Jay Cutler for Matt Casell [sic], who had not started a single game for any NFL team since coming out of college. Jay Cutler was very displeased at the fact that "He was completely happy playing for McDaniels and being in Denver." A source close to the league has said that "Their relationship is beyond repair." As many NFL fans know, the Bill Belichick coaching tree has not been what many people have expected it to be, with most teams who HAVE had coaches under him finishing under .500. While I am a die hard Denver Broncos fan, I do believe that this is not a good move for the organization. Mike Shanahan was the best coach to have ever been in Denver. Fine [Freudian sic] a way to bring him back, or get someone else... such as maybe John Gruden, or maybe even Mike Holmgren. Thank you for your time reading this, and please, sign the petition!
Thanks to all
De'Andrev L.Maragh
Also targeted by KeepJayFireMcDaniels.com is Gene Wojciechowski, an ESPN reporter who wrote this in his own take on the Cutler-McDaniels spat:
Will someone please give Jay Cutler his pacifier, hand him his favorite blankie and put him back in his crib for his afternoon nap? Because if he cries anymore about a trade that didn't happen, we'll have to check his Pampers.

You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
"LET HIM HAVE IT," the KeepJayFireMcDaniels.com crew advises in regard to Wojciechowski -- and plenty of people have heard these marching orders. Thus far, more than 12,000 visitors have stopped by the site. So keep those lips zipped as long as you want, Jay-baby, and ignore the jibes about your little bitchery. 'Cause lotsa fans have your back.

Published at Wednesday, March 14th, 2018 - 14:22:42 PM. Golf Club. By Vignette Beaule.
Golf clubs are costly!! That's the ugly truth. Iron sets can cost $2000 or even more, while drivers can cost over $1000. But despite the expensive price, golf players still buy. Most golf players do purchase good quality golf sets for 100% golf game performance.
Women's clubs are designed for a more petite frame, as are junior golf sets. Always choose the set of clubs that is most comfortable and matches your swing no matter what they are called. Women should always purchase lady's clubs.

Really, really retro ships dock in Beaufort -- the Pinta and Nina
Sitting on a swinging bench Wednesday near the seawall at Henry C. Chambers Waterfront Park, Greta Lundgren and Carla Orono felt they had stepped back in time as a pair of 15th-century ships motored toward them up the Beaufort River.
"It's a little surreal to see something like that in today's day and age," said Lundgren, who was part of a tour group from Newark, Del. "Feels a little out of place but in a really neat way."
"It's a blast from the past, that's for sure," Orono added.
The two women were among more than 20 people who watched as the Nina and Pinta, replicas of the original vessels famously steered across the Atlantic Ocean by explorer Christopher Columbus and his sailors more than 500 years ago, came to port at the Downtown Marina of Beaufort.
Billed as a floating museum, the ships were built by the Columbus Foundation, a nonprofit organization in the British Virgin Islands, as a way to help people learn about the caravel, a type of Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the New World.
"This is a history lesson," said Morgan Sanger, the senior captain of both vessels. "These are the only two ships of that era that exist."
The boats have between 1,900 and 4,000 square feet of sail, though they often rely on large diesel motors to get around, according to the Columbus Foundation.
Built entirely by hand by shipwrights in Brazil for $600,000, the 65-foot, 80-ton Nina launched in 1992 and is returning to Beaufort for the fourth time, Sanger said. The 85-foot, 101-ton Pinta, 50 percent larger than Columbus' original vessel, was built in 2005 for $2 million and is making its first voyage to Beaufort.
Both ships carry substantially fewer passengers than their historic namesakes. Believed to be Columbus' favorite of his ships for its speed, maneuverability and safety, the Nina ferried 20 crew members from Spain to Hispaniola on Columbus' maiden voyage in 1492, according to the Florida Museum of Natural History. Now, the vessel is manned by just five crew members and a captain. Six crew members and a captain help sail the Pinta, originally manned by 26 crew members, according to the museum.
Designed to be historically accurate, the ships are not without a few present-day conveniences, including modern radio equipment, a bar and the Pinta's 40-foot air-conditioned main cabin.
The ships are available for dockside tours through Sunday at the Downtown Marina.
Beaufort is among the ships' 30 scheduled stops this year, including visits next month to Georgetown and Philadelphia, according to the Columbus Foundation.

House Training A Dog Using Dog Diapers
Most of the times people are apprehensive about getting older dogs home as they feel that it is impossible to house train them. Using a diaper on dogs who are not potty trained can be one of the best ways to deal with the situation. There are many online videos of dog specialists on how to potty train a dog and use dog diapers. You can check their Youtube Channel to learn it. When used correctly it helps both the owner and the pets as it will prevent unnecessary accidents. Find more info on how to house train your dog's using diapers in this article.
The Training Process
The essential thing to do when training a dog is to make them understand that a diaper is not their enemy. Often an extra thing on their body makes them anxious and upset. They often end up trying to tear apart the diaper. Making them wear a diaper should become a process which is fun and not a struggle between the owner and dog. If possible have another handler with whom the dog is equally comfortable with along with you. You can feed some favorite treats to dogs while the other try putting the diaper on the dog. The whole process will not be easy as it will try to get away from you, but you should soothe the dog and give it appropriate rewards when it allows. If despite repeated attempts the dog seems to hate wearing the diaper, it is better not to force it. Instead, you should resort to other methods of house training.
Is Your Dog Diaper Ready?
It is also essential for you to know if your dog is a suitable candidate for using a diaper. Below pointers will help you know it
Diapers are for dogs who are calm and don't mind wearing accessories on their body, some dogs are very cooperative and allow their owners to put the diapers while other dogs just dislike it. If your dog falls into the latter section, then you should not insist on making them wear it. You should adopt other methods of house training.
Diapers are best suited for dogs that are house and potty trained. It is used only at the end of the training when your dog is comfortable going to potty outside. If your dog has more than one accident in a day, then you should probably wait for it to be fully trained.
Tips To Prevent Accidents In The Diaper
If your dog has had an accident in the diaper, it means that it is not entirely trained yet. There are a few things to do in such cases. The first thing is to see how often you take the dog out; you may want to increase the frequency. For example, if you are leaving the dog out every two hours during the day, then you should increase it to hourly trips. You can also treat the dog for going to potty outside and also limit access to your house, do not allow your dog to freely roam your house instead allow it only in a small part of the house.
Benefits of using a diaper:
When you are out of house dog accidents can happen anywhere, and worst of it is when it occurs on the carpet. The bad smell that emanates despite cleaning is the worst part of it all. Use of diapers prevents such mishaps.
Can be used on dogs when they go to a new place and are uncomfortable to go to potty there. Can be used on dogs with incontinence.

We Love Santa Claus
Let's face it, he's held my attention longer than any other man. For me, like most children, the initial introduction didn't go particularly well, but in time I grew to see the kindness shining through that hirsute visage. And while cynics might believe he won me over with gifts, I can only say that when I no longer made his list my feelings for him didn't change. As a parent, now a grandparent, I could never imagine a Christmas without him.
The thing is, while good old Saint Nick may not be the 'reason for the season', there is no doubt in my mind that he too exemplifies a lot of what's right about it. He gives without getting back (well with the exception of some milk and cookies to help him on his way), he's always ready with a smile, and most of all he reminds us to keep believing in the magic.
So as he will soon be making his appearance, here are some great Santa collections to get you in the spirit:

It is the mission of Phil Campbell High School to provide safe learning environment to help promote academic excellence and produce lifelong learners. While being student advocates, we will consistently communicate, motivate, and collaborate with all stakeholders. As a committed team, we will implement school board policy, state laws, and federal laws while treating stakeholders with dignity and respect.
About The School
About Phil Campbell High School
Phil Campbell High School is a small, rural 7th through 12th grade institution located in the northwest Alabama town of Phil Campbell. Phil Campbell High School is a part of the Franklin County School System.
The high school facility contains the following: agri-science and family and consumer science building, science lab, distance learning lab, newly renovated auditorium, band room, gymnasium, newly renovated library/media center, classrooms, counselor's office, administrative offices and a new lunchroom.
Students at Phil Campbell High School have an opportunity to attend the Career Technical Center located beside Belgreen High School, a school within our county system.
Phil Campbell High School continues to excel in various extra-curricular activities including baseball, softball, football, basketball, band, and cheerleading. Phil Campbell High School also provides leadership opportunities through clubs and organizations.
Phil Campbell High School has many strong areas. The students, faculty, staff, and administration are dedicated to accomplishing their mission.
History of Phil Campbell High School
In the 1880s, a railroad work crew leader and the engineer by the name of Phillip Campbell, originally from England, had a work camp near where the town now stands.
Mel Allen, a prominent local businessman, told Mr. Campbell if he would build a depot and put in a side track he would name the town which would result from his growth after him. This statement led to Phil Campbell being the only town in Alabama to have both the first and last names of an individual.
The first school in Phil Campbell was a two story frame house built in 1910. It was actually located in the back of the Methodist Church. It was later destroyed by fire.
The second school was built in 1915. It was located at the site of the present school on Highway 5 in Phil Campbell. This school was a two story wooden building. It had only two entrances. At approximately 6 p.m. on Christmas Day in 1924 this building burned.
During the next two years, school was held in local church buildings located on West Railroad Avenue.
Graduation services for the first accredited Phil Campbell High School class were conducted in the Methodist Church. There were only eight students in the class of 1926.
The third school building was rebuilt and completed in 1926. There were two buildings--the main building and the vocational building. The main building of this school was also destroyed by fire many years later. In 1954, the present buildings were constructed.
Since the rebuilding of the school, there have been several new additions including a home economics and agriculture building, band room and the elementary school building which was completed in 1974. More recently, a new elementary building was completed in December 2000 allowing all elementary classes to be held in the same location for the first time. A new lunchroom was completed in August 2003. The auditorium was renovated and completed in August 2003.
The athletic program has always been important at Phil Campbell High School. The first football team was fielded in 1927. There were 13 players on the team. At that time the football field ran along the highway in front of the school.
Football was dropped during World War II. In 1951, Phil Campbell had its only undefeated football team.
Phil Campbell won its first county championship in basketball in 1928. They gymnasium was build in 1941 and the first game played in it was in 1942. In 1947, the basketball team won the state tournament.
The first organized cheerleading squad consisted of five girls and two boys.
The Phil Campbell band program was initiated in the summer of 1962 under the leadership of Mr. Richard Hogan. The first band had 94 members. The band program continues to be an important part of Phil Campbell High School.
On April 27, 2011, a F-5 tornado destroyed much of Phil Campbell and damaging the school heavily. Thirty-seven people were injured during the tornado and sixteen lost their lives. A teacher, Mrs. Patricia Gentry, and two students of Phil Campbell Elementary School were among the fatalities. Ironically, the mascot of Phil Campbell High School in the early days was the "Purple Tornadoes."
For the remainder of the school year 2010-2011, Northwest-Shoals Community College opened their doors to the students and school staff of Phil Campbell High School. When school started in the Fall of 2011, classes resumed in mobile units on campus.
After a historical study of Phil Campbell High School was conducted and completed, demolition of the "old" school began followed by construction of the new facility. At the end of the 2013-2014 school year, the students and faculty said good-bye to the mobile units that had served as their campus for 3 years. Everyone was hopeful that the new facility would be completed and classes would begin in the new school the following school year (2014-2015). Unfortunately, there were some unexpected delays. Ironically, just as in 1910 and 1924, Phil Campbell High School was housed in local churches. Mountain View Baptist Church served as the school-site for 7th and 8th grade students. First Baptist of Phil Campbell served as the school-site for 9th and 10th graders. And, Phil Campbell Church of God served as the school-site for 11th and 12th grade students. School was held in these three churches for the first 6 weeks of school.
On September 11, 2014, the staff of Phil Campbell High School began moving in to the new building. On September 15, 2014, almost 3 1/2 years after the tornado, students anxiously reported to classes in the new school. The Class of 2015 was the very first graduating class in the new building. The Class of 2020 will be the first graduating class to have spent all 6 years (grades 7-12) in the new building.

I'll blame the week lag of posting on the fact that I've officially moved into a lovely new house with a couple friends and the past several days have been made up of working, eating, heavy-lifting, sleeping, repeating. No more nomadic Jessie. Three temporary houses and five countries later, and I can finally unpack these boxes, unroll my black cowhide rug, and breathe. Meanwhile, spending this big game day for Seattleites in my favorite Supermodel Essentials sweatpants, slouchy biker boots, and soft sweater courtesy of Santa. Should be wearing some blue and green... but I work later. Dress-codes don't bend for sports. Otherwise, Sundays are forever feckless.

Coffee Ornaments, Coffee Talk-The Game, and Crazy Shirts
It 'tis the season for catalogs to arrive in your mail box. Whether you shop from a catalog or the company's web store, brew your favorite hot tea or coffee before you start browsing. I found the following unique items for coffee lovers in three of many catalogs I'm receiving daily!
Sur La Table is offering an exclusive line of food and beverage ornaments handmade by artisans in Poland. Each ornament is made in glass. You'll find an espresso machine, French press, and a coffee beans bag.
One of my favorite catalogs to browse is Crazy Shirts – "It's not just fashion - it's a cool way of life." The company was founded in our coffee producing state of Hawaii in 1964 amid beach party movies and a rising interest in surfing.
The beautiful designs are purchased from freelance artists for $1000. The clothing's color comes from specially mixed dyes using Kona coffee, beer, volcanic ash, hibiscus flowers, key limes, or one of several other unique sources.
There's a new game in town called "Coffee Talk – The Game" from Pressman, making games for 85 years. The game is for 2-4 players and is stored in a resealable coffee package. It promises a whole latte of fun!

Short Hair, Don't Care: 5 Fabulous Ways To Spruce Up That Teeny Weeny Afro (TWA)
The Teeny Weeny Afro (TWA) has steadily been making its way up the preferred hairstyle ranks as of late, yet it is still not as widely received by the natural hair community as other elaborate hairstyles. Let's be honest here – the TWA stage is not exactly perceived as a 'fun' period of one's hair growth experience for no other reason than it often being seen as limiting one's ability to be versatile with their hairstyles. The truth of the matter is that there is a world of possibilities when it comes to livening up one's 'crown and glory,' while rocking a TWA. Who said short hair couldn't be made to be fun and funky, sans all of the toil and drudgery that many believe its maintenance accompanies? Yes, it will require a keen eye and a bit of patience, in terms of its upkeep. Nonetheless, if you are willing to devote the time enough to transition into a natural state of hair, then transitioning through the shorter hair stages should be smooth sailing. There are many go-to style options from which to choose when it comes to sprucing up one's TWA.
1) With a tinge of color:
Now, the color need not be shocking to the eye; your choice of color will more than likely reflect your personality's uniquely defined palette. In other words, if your personality and wardrobe are demure, you more than likely wouldn't be caught rolling out with a blonde 'do. You would more than likely choose a color that runs along a spectrum of browns and bronzes. As well, for the naturalistas who are largely against the use of harsh chemicals such as dyes containing ammonia on their hair – they may opt for a natural hair-dyeing solution, namely, Henna. If Henna is not a preferred option, one can always go for a dye that is ammonia-free, such as Garnier Herbashine Color Crème With Bamboo Extract, which'll do the job and offers 18 different shades for your choosing, save for the color only lasting for up to 28 washes.
2) Coiled Up:
Coils are a simple and easy way to achieve a fresh, new look. All you need to achieve this look is a fine-toothed, rat-tail comb, and some gel. You could use Taliah Waajid's Black Earth product, Lock it Up. On freshly-washed hair, you would part your hair into tiny partitioned sections and proceed to apply gel to the root and upwards toward the ends of the hair. Then, gently rotate the fine-toothed comb in a clockwise motion from the bottom to the end of the hair. Allow the style to sit for about 45 minutes to an hour, in order for it to maintain its hold with the support of the gel. And, if you want to go a little funkier, you may choose to go for a 'coil out' look, which would just entail you gently pulling out the coils once dry. Your best bet would be to wrap your hair with a satin scarf when you sleep to make it possible for this style to last for many days.
3) Curled Up:
This is by far the quickest way to achieve an enhanced look with the TWA. The simple curl is the perfect solution for the woman-on-the-go, who has little-to-no time to fuss about what to do with her hair. For this one, you'll simply need to sprinkle the hair with water and apply a curl enhancer of your choice. If you're stuck on which curl enhancing product to use, you could try Shea Moisture's Organic Coconut & Hibiscus Curl Enhancer Smoothie, especially if you have a weakness for that smelly, smelly good stuff. The trick to this 'do is to continue to re-apply water to it, so as to keep the curls active.
4) Double-Strand Twists:
Double-strand twists are for those who don't want a tight feel on their scalp, which is often caused by the pull of firm braids. Two-strand twists don't require as much force, nor do they apply as much pressure to the scalp and hair follicles. The good part about twists is that with a little moisturizer applied before beginning the process – you should be good to go – unless of course you want to apply gel to ensure that the twists remain firmly in their place. You could also use coconut oil, argan oil or perhaps, even castor oil beforehand, for the purpose of allowing your hair to give off some sheen. The choice is yours to make, either way – the twists are a good style choice for any age range.
5) Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!:
The amount of accolades accessories deserve is indescribable with just the use of words: somehow, someway – they always seem to save the day. Whether we're talking about transforming an outfit from drab to fab or simply for the purpose of adding an element of originality to an otherwise regular ol' hair day – accessories are bound to do big things. For a teeny weeny afro, you may choose to accessorize with the aid of hair pins, flowers, scarves, jewels, or a simple headband may do the trick.
