Today we made our latest foray into the fun of nursery rhymes. I wanted to try something a little different and made another interactive feature.
As always first we glued the rhyme down onto the page. I have no pictures this week because Princess was busy trying to cut her lines into individual letters, and then Superman decided to cut his into separate words. So no pictures of that step.
Next we went through and colored the pictures I'd hastily drawn to illustrate the rhyme.
They were all set to scribble one line and then get right to the glueing, but I reminded them we like lots of color, and they started working harder on the coloring.
Princess was all set to cut everything into little pieces, so I set her to cutting out the hill for Jack and Jill to climb.
Then to provide some background color and also to stiffen up the paper so it will not be destroyed quite so easily the kids cut up blue construction paper and glued it all over to make the sky.
Finally I glued on the last hill, since I had made it a more complicated piece to glue. And here's the completed picture:
Hmmmm…… No completed picture.

Windows 10 allows you to change color of Taskbar, Action Center and Start menu via a simple switch. If you only want the taskbar to retain its color and not the Start menu, learn how to disable start menu color.
The History of the Taskbar
The Taskbar refers to the long bar that is omnipresent on the bottom of your screen. Both it and the Start menu are vital cogs in Window's UI as they contain a lot of settings and apps which we can directly access via a simple click.
The Taskbar has been an ever-present feature in Windows since the very first version called Windows 1.0 was released way back in 1985. It had the capacity to hold multiple apps / pieces of information when minimised, such as the time etc. Then as Windows evolved from time to time, so did the taskbar. Functionalities such as thumbnails, battery indicator etc. were also added over time.
In my opinion the Taskbar received its biggest update when it moved from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. In Windows 8/8.1, the Taskbar was much like in Windows 7. It could hold shortcuts, battery and WiFi icons, the start button etc. but what changed in Windows 10 was that it included the Search bar and Task View buttons as well. Not only this, the touch keyboard button was also seamlessly integrated into it.
Another thing that was different was its smart ability to change color in accordance with your background wallpaper. The Taskbar is by default black in color and will change color that is in context with your wallpaper provided that you have selected that option in your Settings. This option simultaneously changes color of your Start menu, Action Center and Taskbar not leaving you with the option to individually select colors for each of them.
How To Disable Start Menu Color From Changing With Other UI Elements
If you only wish that the taskbar retain its color but not the start menu, disable start menu color through the following steps.
Step 1: Open registry by typing in regedit in Windows Search.
Step 2: In the left side menu, click on HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Step 3: Then click on SOFTWARE.
Step 4: Click on Microsoft.
Step 5: Click on Windows.
Step 6: Click on Current Version.
Step 7: Click on Themes.
Step 8: Click on Personalize.
Step 9: Double Click on ColorPrevalence as shown in the image below.
Step 10: In the resulting window, enter the value '2' in the space under Value data and click on OK as shown in the image below.
Your tweak will instantaneously apply leaving your start menu and action center looking like this without harming your taskbar at all.

San Diego Actors Theatre presents THE ZOO STORY
A park bench at the charming Pioneer Park in Mission Hills is the "Central Park" setting for San Diego Actors Theatre's (SDAT) upcoming site-specific production of The Zoo Story by four time Pulitzer Prize-Winning Playwright, Edward Albee. Weekend performances run from October 28th through November 12th (Saturday and Sunday 2 p.m. matinees).
The Zoo Story is Produced and Directed by SDAT Founder/Artistic Director Patricia Elmore Costa, starring Byron LaDue as Jerry and Fred Harlow as Peter.
Written in 1958, The Zoo Story achieved instant acclaim for the "recognizable humanity of its characters" (Green, 2004) and for its themes of daily despair beneath the surface of middle-class life. The play explores themes of isolation, loneliness, miscommunication and dehumanization in a commercial world.
PATRICIA ELMORE COSTA directed The Zoo Story while an undergrad student of theatre in her university directing class. "Although the subject matter may be complex and difficult; I see a lot of humor in Albee's play and we are exploring that along with the angst of this existential gem." - Patricia Elmore Costa
SAN DIEGO ACTORS THEATRE is a non-profit professional arts organization incorporated in 1985 by Founder & Artistic Director, Patricia Elmore Costa who has been its driving force directing, producing and performing along with many of San Diego's finest actors in main stage productions and site-specific theatre projects. Ms Elmore Costa has directed staged readings for the past fifteen years at diverse venues throughout the city and county of San Diego (Downtown San Diego, Del Mar, La Jolla, Liberty Station, Balboa Park, Mission Hills) as well as traditional theatres (Bowery Theatre, San Diego Repertory Theatre, Moxie Theatre, North Coast Repertory Theatre, Diversionary Theatre, the 6th Avenue Playhouse and 6th and Penn Theatre). Most recently she continues to direct Sunday Staged Readings in its third season at La Jolla Riford Library. She received KPBS Radio's Best Director award for Laughter on the 23rd Floor.
Ms. Elmore Costa received her Masters of Arts, Communications (San Diego State University) and her B.A. and B.M.A. in Theatre and Communications (Western Illinois University, USC, and UCSD). She teaches Communication Studies at San Diego City College. In 2009, she wrote the original script Fiancee in a Box, inspired by the 2007 film Lars and the Real Girl,. Fiancee in a Box debuted in 2009 at the groundbreaking, engaging and interactive Dive In Theatre at L'Auberge Del Mar Lap Pool and was featured by the late Larry Himmel of KFMB Channel 8.
For thirty-two years - The San Diego Actors Theatre has provided the San Diego community with professional, high quality, critically-acclaimed productions and projects with San Diego top theatre artists that challenge the intellect with important social messages as well as being provocative, enlightening, uplifting and entertaining.

Rotterdam Port Report Record Month
With 13.6 million tonnes of container freight handled, April of this year was the best month ever for the Port of Rotterdam. The previous record month was August 2018 (13.2 million tonnes)
Measured in TEU, the standard unit for containers, April 2019 was the second-best month ever, with 1.3 million TEU, just a fraction lower than the record month of August 2018.
Rotterdam has expanded to become Europe's largest container port, partly because of its excellent depth, Europe's largest sea port said in a press release.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority is participating in the 2019 Transport & Logistics trade fair in Munich from 4 to 7 June. Digital transformation of port and logistics will be an important 'selling point' there for the Port of Rotterdam Authority.
"We want to create a global network of smart connected ports. This will increase efficiency in global trade lanes, lower costs and reduce CO2 emissions," it said.
'Container 42' is a metaphor for this digital transformation, which is why it is a special attraction this year at Transport & Logistics Munich. 'Container 42' is the hyperintelligent container that started its two year data collection journey around the world in Rotterdam on 24 May, with Munich as first stopover.
The container, equipped with sensors and communications technology, measures vibration, gradient, position, sound, air pollution, humidity and temperature during the journey. The container is also equipped with solar panels, to see how much energy a container can generate during a journey on a container ship, train or truck.

@adnandawood Thanks Adnan. Please download the KarmaCircles app on your phone. The app experience is much more superior.
This has to be industry specific. I'd rather be put in front of 10 experts in a specific niche than 400 "generalists" Great advice comes from a deep understanding of the problem. A great example is someone like Ray Kurzweil. I could listen to him all day on electrical engineering and computer science concepts, but the moment he speaks about anti-aging or anything with biological concepts, his credence disappears. Gauging expertise is hard, you really want to go after the people who can have verbal bulimia about a subject and as well speak with grit and passion in their teeth about it.

@datarade Kumar, Thanks for asking the question. Really appreciate it. I agree with your entire comment. On KarmaCircles, you can view everyone's Linkedin profile along with the activity that they have done on KarmaCircles. Credibility comes from the person's LinkedIn profile and "the probability of getting help" can be gauged by the person's activity on the KC platform. To get advice, you need both - credentials as well as willingness to help. KC profile gives you both.
Looks interesting. I'll check it out. I'm a huge fan of the power of LinkedIn, so I'll be interested to see how KarmaCircles can help.
@robbieab Thanks Robbie. KarmaCircles is a layer on top of Linkedin. Using KC, you can find out how helpful a person is, request for help/advice from them and then it allows you to schedule a meeting with them (via phone/skype/google/in-person). The only expectation is that you will write a thank you note for the person who helped you. Esentially, KarmaGiver does good karma by helping the KarmaReceiver and KarmaReceiver enhances the reputation of the KarmaGiver by publicly thanking them.
Thank you all for your queries and comments!

CIE Position Statement on the use of Ultraviolet (UV) Radiation to Manage the Risk of COVID-19 Transmission
To support the international interest in the use of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) to manage the risk of COVID-19 transmission, the CIE has published a Position Statement (PS) that summarizes the two publications listed below that were recently made freely available. As well, CIE experts have prepared a 10 minute video to support your understanding of the position statement.
CIE 187:2010 UV-C Photocarcinogenesis Risks from Germicidal Lamps
CIE 155:2003 Ultraviolet Air Disinfection
Key take-away points from this PS are:
- UV-C is extremely useful in disinfection of air and surfaces or sterilization of water. However, CIE and WHO warn against the use of UV disinfection lamps to disinfect hands or any other area of skin (WHO, 2020).
- UV-C can be very hazardous to humans and animals and should only be used in carefully controlled circumstances using well-designed products, ensuring that the limits of exposure are not exceeded. However, the risk of skin cancer from devices that emit only UV-C is considered negligible.
- UV-C can cause photodegradation of materials and this should be considered where susceptible materials, such as plastics are in the exposed environment.
- More research is urgently needed on the safety aspects of novel UV-C sources, especially with respect to safety thresholds to avoid photokeratitis ("sunburn" of the cornea).
- For proper UVR assessment and risk management, appropriate UVR measurements are essential.
- UV-C products aimed at general consumers may not be safe to use or may not be effective for disinfection.
CIE Position Statement on Non-Visual Effects of Light - Recommending Proper Light at the Proper Time
For everyone staying at and working from home in these challenging times, check the CIE recommendations for healthy indoor light conditions and the use of proper light at the proper time to optimally benefit from light's non-visual effects on sleep, health and wellbeing.
CIE Toolbox and User Guide for CIE S 026:2018
A Toolbox to support the use of the international standard CIE S 026:2018 CIE System for Metrology of Optical Radiation for ipRGC-Influenced Responses to Light, has been developed. The S 026 Toolbox along with the S 026 User Guide are freely available on the CIE Website. A short video has been prepared to give some background information on the Toolbox and brief instructions on how to use it.
CIE Position Statement on the Blue Light Hazard
The CIE has issued a position statement that puts into context the use of the term "blue light hazard" in line with the CIE's current position on this term. It provides reassurance that people are normally not at risk of exceeding the internationally agreed blue light hazard exposure limits from white light sources used for illumination. However, it does warn about the inappropriate use of blue LEDs in products, such as toys, which are primarily used by young children.

Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaidó has dismissed warnings from President Nicolás Maduro the country's political crisis could spark civil war.
Mr Guaidó has declared himself interim president and won support from major powers including the US.
Mr Maduro said that whether there was war would depend on the "madness" of the US and its allies.
But Mr Guaidó rubbished the suggestion as an "invention" of his presidential rival.
Pressure grew on Mr Maduro on Monday when more than half of the countries which make up the European Union said they recognised Mr Guaidó as interim leader.
It follows the rejection of of a deadline set by the UK, France, Germany, Spain and others for President Maduro to call new elections.
He was sworn in last month for a second term after disputed elections which many opposition leaders did not contest because they were in jail or boycotting them.
In response, Mr Guaidó, who is head of Venezuela's National Assembly, said the constitution allowed him to assume power temporarily when the president was deemed illegitimate.
Why is civil war being raised?
Mr Guaidó was commenting on an interview Mr Maduro gave on Sunday.
Asked on Spanish television if the crisis in Venezuela could lead to civil war, Mr Maduro said "no-one could answer that question with certainty".
"Everything depends on the level of madness and aggressiveness of the northern empire [the US] and its Western allies.
"We ask that nobody intervenes in our internal affairs... and we prepare ourselves to defend our country."
The US has said military invention remains an "option".
But in a speech on Monday, Mr Guaidó said: "There is no possibility of a civil war in Venezuela, it is a Maduro invention."
He also accused the Maduro government of trying to move up to £1.2bn (£0.9bn) in public funds to Uruguay, but did not offer any evidence.
How does the rest of the world see the crisis?
At least 17 EU countries have officially recognised Mr Guaidó as interim president of Venezuela. Many issued statements urging Mr Maduro to hold new elections.
Other EU nations, such as Greece and Ireland, have called for fresh elections but stopped short of recognising Mr Guaidó.
Mr Maduro retains powerful allies, most notably China and Russia, who has accused EU countries of interfering in Venezuela's affairs and attempting to "legitimise usurped power".
The Venezuelan president also retains the crucial support of the army.
In his speech Mr Guaidó, who is trying to organise aid deliveries, said the military faced "an important choice" when aid arrived at the border.
His representatives are to host emergency talks on delivering aid at a conference on 14 February in Washington, AFP reports. Mr Maduro has rejected letting aid into the country, saying it would be a pretext for military intervention.

Plant stoichiometry, the relative concentration of elements, is a key regulator of ecosystem functioning and is also being altered by human activities. In this paper we sought to understand the global drivers of plant stoichiometry and compare the relative contribution of climatic vs. anthropogenic effects. We addressed this goal by measuring plant elemental (C, N, P and K) responses to eutrophication and vertebrate herbivore exclusion at eighteen sites on six continents. Across sites, climate and atmospheric N deposition emerged as strong predictors of plot‐level tissue nutrients, mediated by biomass and plant chemistry. Within sites, fertilization increased total plant nutrient pools, but results were contingent on soil fertility and the proportion of grass biomass relative to other functional types. Total plant nutrient pools diverged strongly in response to herbivore exclusion when fertilized; responses were largest in ungrazed plots at low rainfall, whereas herbivore grazing dampened the plant community nutrient responses to fertilization. Our study highlights (1) the importance of climate in determining plant nutrient concentrations mediated through effects on plant biomass, (2) that eutrophication affects grassland nutrient pools via both soil and atmospheric pathways and (3) that interactions among soils, herbivores and eutrophication drive plant nutrient responses at small scales, especially at water‐limited sites.

Outlook 2013 (IMAP): "The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted"
Looks like the last patch day broke IMAP in Outlook 2013. Tried to delete some older mails but all I got was this:
Here is how to fix this. It's caused by the IMAP root folder not set in the account properties.
FILE -> Account Settings -> Account Settings -> Change… -> More Settings… -> Advanced, under Folders -> Root folder path:, enter: Inbox.
Looks like nobody at Microsoft is using IMAP anymore – otherwise QA should have caught that one.

Virgin Atlantic sees great growth opportunities in Asia but the next 12 months will be focused on consolidation, the airline's chief financial officer Julie Southern told Business Traveller Asia Pacific.
The carrier, which flies to London and Sydney out of Hongkong and from London to Delhi, Shanghai and Tokyo, will renew its fleet with the arrival of Airbus A330s and Boeing 787 aircraft between 2011 and 2013, and will use much of 2010 to work on perfecting the new products.
"We do see a stronger market and Virgin Atlantic reacted quickly to the economic crisis. We do plan to reinstate the second Hongkong-London service when the market recovers but for the next 12 months our focus is on keeping things relatively stable. In 2010, we will be preparing for the arrival of our new planes. Although we're obviously disappointed that the Boeing aircraft have been as delayed as they have."
Southern said Virgin Atlantic's longer term challenge for Asia was the capacity of its London Heathrow home base.
"Our biggest obstacle for expanding Asian routes will be getting slots at Heathrow, but it makes sense as East Asia and India are the most likely spots of growth in the world economy," she said.
While there are currently no plans to create an Asian Virgin offshoot, as has happened in Australia with Virgin Blue and V Australia, Southern said: "At Virgin, you learn never to say never."
Likewise the airline has no plans to join any of the major alliances but Southern said that its success was that it was "50 percent of the way there", with successful partnerships with airlines in the big networks, especially the Star Alliance, but Virgin Atlantic was happy to be a "niche player".
Southern said that the airline's premium-economy class category had proven resilient at a time when many business travellers have had to trim budgets and downgrade their travel programmes.
"The success of the product is obvious. Virgin Atlantic invented the premium economy category and look at how many airlines have copied it. We have also shown business travellers that although the Virgin brand is different and funky, we have a serious business product too and we are increasing our share of business travellers as a result. For example, our new Upper Class Wing at Heathrow Terminal 3 means you can be dropped off and be through our private security channel and in the lounge in ten minutes.
"There has to be substance in the product too, not just the brand," Southern said.

Very Cold Last Night.
Lisa + Kevin Very Grotty, especially Lisa.
Karen + I Stayed up Late playing games + being rude!
You'll notice the somewhat random capitalisation. I'm transcribing these entries as faithfully as I can, including the punctuation and spelling errors.
I don't remember this particular evening, but the complaint about Lisa and Kevin will be a common one. One of the perils of having siblings close to a decade younger than you. Or, as Lisa puts it, the thing she remembers most about me is that I was the one who was always shouting at her.

First of all, THANK YOU for all the amazing encouragement and support as I launched my new website this week. Whew! So many, many thanks to Katie Gardner for her hard work, vision, and skill as she put a fresh coat of paint on this site. Loved working with her! A new look and some new photos were long overdue, so it's been very fun to unveil.
And, also very exciting, Breathing Room – my new book, which will be arriving in October — is now available for presale on Amazon. So it's a big week around here, and I hope you take a moment to check out the write-up on Amazon and pre-order your very own copy!
As Katie and I worked on the new site and the new pictures, something kept making me laugh.
Here's the full frontal: No matter how slick and fresh a new website looks, there's A LOT of non-glamour, non-slick, and non-fresh going on behind the scenes at my house. Like, A LOT.
I thought maybe, just maybe, your house might also suffer from some less-than-perfect moments, too.
So here's the naked truth . . .
I actually look like this, too:
As you well know, I've got an ongoing and tumultuous relationship with my puffy eyes, and I'm always in the market for THE CURE. The latest installment is coffee grounds under my eyes. Apparently the caffeine is supposed to help??? Please send backup.
My kids actually do this kind of stuff, too:
Recently, Elle came into the kitchen buck naked saying "Heya go, Mommy. Heya go," holding out an orange snack bowl full of poop.
"Thanks, honey."
Don't worry, the orange snack bowl pictured is not the aforementioned bowl. That one went promptly in the trash, contents and all.
And on Tuesday of this week, I say to Lane: "Lane, it would really help me out if you would get in your seat and buckle your seat belt."
To which she replies, "Mom, it would really help me out if you'd stop being a jerk."
"Okay, good tip. Thanks, honey."
My point here is that life is beautiful and creative and fabulous and breathtaking and also puffy and poopy and full of jerkiness (I was, actually, being a jerk. So we had to talk through our mutual jerkiness, apologize, and then agree to begin again. Ugghhh.)
So, what's really going on in your household this week? The good, the bad, the ugly.
Let's be in it together,

Arguably one of the most important times to get the diet just right in a woman's life, sorting out what to eat and not eat during pregnancy can feel like a battle-field. Some foods are good, some are bad, and this information can feel like it is changing on a weekly basis.
One of the main reasons for all the changing advice is because there is constantly new research been done into the effects certain foods have on the pregnant body and growing baby.
Then, of course, there can be misleading or confusing information because of a bad experience one particular woman had with a certain type of food. However, just because this happened once, doesn't make it a blanket rule. Ultimately, each body is different and each pregnant body reacts to different foods in its own way.
Yogurt is one of these foods that are tossed around in the pregnancy debate. Since yogurt seems is an umbrella term, it is important to remember that there are many different types of yogurts. Some are certainly better than others.
From pasteurized to natural and everything in between, let's take a look at what yogurts are recommended during pregnancy and why.
The general rule of thumb for eating yogurt during pregnancy is to stick with types that are pasteurised. This means that there are important live and active cultures in the yogurt, after it is has undergone the fermentation process from milk to yogurt. It changes the taste, texture, and overall healthiness of the yogurt.
Most brands of yogurt sold in supermarkets are pasteurized, which makes life easier. However, to really get the good stuff, it is worth looking into yogurts from organic food shops, farmers markets, and local businesses. These are likely to have more benefits to the body when eating yogurt during pregnancy.
The following set of ingredients reflect a natural Greek yoghurt. It contains natural ingredients that are not genetically modified or include artificial sweeteners. This is the ideal type of yoghurt to digest during pregnancy. The percentage indicates how much it contains of the recommended dietary intake.
Servings per Container 1
Amount per Serving
Calories: 80
Calories from Fat: 0
· Total Fat 0g = 0%
· Saturated Fat 0g =0%
· Trans Fat 0g
· Cholesterol 10mg = 3%
· Potassium 210mg = 6%
· Sodium 55mg = 2%
· Total Carbs 6g = 2%
· Dietary Fiber 0g =0%
· Sugars 4g
· Protein 15g = 30%
· Vitamin A 0% • Vitamin C 0%
· Calcium 15% • Iron 0%
The answer to this one goes hand in hand with the type and quality of yogurt. If you have a really good brand of yogurt with plenty of cultures and probiotics, it is actually recommended that pregnant women eat up to three small containers a day.
This is assuming that the weight of each container is about 200 grams. Having around 600 grams of yogurt a day will ensure that you reach the recommended calcium intake for pregnancy.
Of course, when eating yogurt, it should be done in a healthy way during pregnancy. Therefore, 600 grams of yogurt over the course of the day mixed with fresh fruit, fresh berries, and/or honey is the ideal way to go. Avoid mixing it with any sugars or artificial flavours.
Generally speaking, there is no harm in eating yogurts that are flavoured. The main dietary concern with these during pregnancy is the fat and sugar content. Having too much fat and sugar can lead to excessive weight gain during pregnancy which is not ideal. If you find flavoured yogurts that have natural ingredients with low sugar and fat content, they are fine.
However, you are better off mixing your own flavours into the yogurt. This way you know they are guaranteed to be safe and healthy. Start off with a low fat, natural, pasteurised yogurt. Then, add some berries or fresh fruit. Another great additive to yogurt is honey or stevia, a natural sweetener. These will give the yogurt a great flavour without too much fat or sugar.
The main concerns about eating yogurt come back to unpasteurised types of yogurt. Steer clear of these and you will be fine. Another type of yogurt to avoid are full-fat ones. These are loaded up with saturated fats, which only need to be eaten in small moderation.
Particularly during pregnancy, it is best to avoid too much saturated fat. These can have a negative effect on the heart and bloodstream as they clog up the arteries. They also wreak havoc on the digestive system, which is already more sensitive during pregnancy due to the increased estrogen in the body which slows down the digestive tract. Again, stick to yogurts that are low in fat and pasteurised.

People Magazine is reporting that their sources confimed that Jay-Z and Beyonce were indeed married earlier today.
"Though there is no official confirmation, the friend says, "It happened earlier this evening. Jay wanted it to be a really private affair – close friends and family."
The ceremony was followed by a lavish party at the rapper's Tribeca apartment that drew Beyoncé's mother Tina Knowles, her father/manager Mathew, her sister Solange, her Destiny's Child mates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and the couple's friend Gwyneth Paltrow."
Congrats to them! Now, we can move on the the baby questions.
Jay-Z and Beyonce Wedding Details?!?Posted in Beyonce, blog, blog update, celebrities, Celebrity Couples, gossip, Gwyneth Paltrow, hip hop, Jay-Z, Rockstars, rumors, Solange Knowles, Videos with tags Beyonce, Celebrity Couples, gossip, hip hop, Jay-Z, Rap, Rumor, Weddings on April 4, 2008 by famouspersonality
- Private affair in NYC (very small guest list!)
- Guests MUST wear all ivory
- Location was NOT on invitations
- The small guest list is star-studded including: Serena and Venus Williams
- Kelly and Michelle are also in New York
Update: People has pictures of the flowers and tent here.
The Insider is reporting that "busy workers are building an indoor tent with an all-white theme and the Roman numeral IV. We're told the event will be for about 30 people. The "magic hour" — when all the workers need to be out — is 3 p.m. More details to come..!" Both Jay-Z and Beyonce have tattoos on their ring fingers.
YBF is reporting the following details:
- "Around 5p est today, a black SUV with full tinted windows flew through the crowd of media to enter the building's garage. Only one paparazzo landed a pic of the unconfirmed woman inside. But she was by herself and purposely covering her face with a black and silver "Dereon like" hoodie.
- Another person was spotted entering the building who resembled Irv Gotti.
- 20 minutes later 8 black SUVs of the same kind exited the garage one right after the other. All SUVs were empty.
- Word on the street (from an unreliable source) was that the wedding was over and had taken place in a different location.
- But another word on the street (from a more reliable source) is that the wedding is actually taking place tonight. This would make more sense if that was indeed Bey in the first SUV.
- Word has it the SUVs all left to pick up guests and transport them back to Jay-Z's place for a possible reception/party.
- Ironicly, Dame Dash lives on the same street.
- Jay bought the penthouse for approx. $6 mill even though the building looks like crap from the outside.
- People were spotted setting up for "what looks like a party" under that white tent on the roof.
- Sources who are actually in the couple's circle of friends have confirmed to TheYBF.com that a wedding is indeed taking place at some point today."
According to TMZ, Beyonce's family and Jay-Z's mom have arrived at his apartment dressed in white in addition to Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Photos below are what is said to be Beyonce's bouquet (hope not), Solange Knowles, Mathew Knowles, and Gloria Cater (Jay-z's mom).

CGGC Seminar: Provably Good Planar Mappings
- Speaker:
- Roi Poranne (Weizmann Institute of Science)
- Date:
- Monday, 30.3.2015, 13:30
- Place:
- Room 337-8 Taub Bld.
The problem of planar mapping and deformation is central in computer graphics, where applications range from image warping and character animation, to non-rigid registration and shape analysis. I will present a framework for adapting general, smooth, function bases for constructing provably good planar mappings. The term "good" in this context means the map has no fold-overs (injective), is smooth, and has low isometric or conformal distortion. Our approach bridges the gap between mesh and meshless methods, allowing us to construct meshless maps with bounded distortion. Further extensions will be discussed.

In today's Quick Hits, Tony discusses some of his opinions on abortion. Where does a man get off on telling a woman what to do with her body? Well too bad, I'm doing it. Not in the sense you are thinking however. I take a broad outline of the topic and morph the moral discussion into a legal and states rights issue. Please give a listen to this controversial topic.
For a more in depth learning on the constitution, I will point you towards one of my favorite historians, Brion McClanahan. Please check out his website, podcast and courses.

Asthma symptoms vary depending on a few major factors, one of them being seasonal change. With spring time approaching and children going outside to play in warmer weather, it is important to review prevention methods. A recent article posted by Dr. Michael Rosenthal on Delaware online provides a good overview. Spring brings with it a slew of new triggers that can impact asthma. These include air pollution, pollen and increased exposure to animals. Thus, medication adherence is especially important during this time as it could prevent dangerous symptoms.
Childhood asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, and can occur year-round. Now that spring has arrived and children are heading outside to play, it's a good time to consider the impact and dangers of this disease, as well as how to protect against asthma attacks.
Asthma is a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways, causing wheezing, shortness of breath and coughing. The smaller airways within the lungs have a hard time moving air in and out, making breathing difficult.
Causes of asthma range from genetics to allergens and pollutants. No cure for asthma exists, although some children have fewer symptoms as they get older only to have it recur later in life due to certain triggers.
More than 7 million children nationwide have asthma. The disease accounts for more hospitalizations than any other childhood illness and more than 3,000 childhood deaths each year.
Aside from the health problems, asthma can affect learning and school performance. Among children ages 5 to 17, it is the leading cause of absences from school related to a chronic illness. Children with asthma miss an average of eight days per year, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.

Day 1 of the Swiss Winter Tour 2016
Today the Switzerland 'We Steal Flyers' Winter 2016 Tour has arrived and before I knew it, its the end of the day and I am parked up in my hotel room over looking Lake Lucerne and its just turned midnight. Here is a little run through of how things panned out today!
I woke up around 10am and was feeling a little spaced out and little rough as it was my big brother Andy's Birthday yesterday. Curly and I popped down with a present and card around 5pm. Andy was in his little workshop out back and came in to make us some cups of coffee before we headed off. Somehow the coffee magically turned into a glass of red wine for Curly and some of Andy's home made Sloe Gin for me. We had a good bit crack in the Vares Kitchen and I finished off one of his bottles of Sloe Gin and moved onto the next one. After Andy had tried out his desktop drum kit and had some giggles with a head massager from Momma Vare I headed home and took the last of the sloe gin with me.
Anyhow after a bit catch up with a friend at the house and couch time with the Curly and more of gin I woke up in the morning still feeling a bit potent after Andy's secret weapon sloe gin. I still had a few things to sort out and Mel was heading to get me to head off to Manchester Airport around 12.30pm.
Mel, Derek and the kids tipped up and I was pretty much sorted thanks to the awesome help of the Curly machine who packed up my case and got pretty much everything ready to go for me, while I stumbled around looking hazily for guitar cables, strings and chargers.
We headed south in the car with me driving, Derek in the passenger seat and Mel and the kids having a party in the back seats. It took just over 3 hours to get down to Manchester airport with the constant roadworks that seem to be on every main road in the UK for the last 4 or 5 years. We had one little wee stop at Wetherby services and had time for a quick Greggs beef & veg pastie then headed straight off again.
We made it to Manchester airport just twenty minutes before the bag drop closed and dashed through the customs to arrive at Gate 9 as it was closing, jumped on the end of the queue and before we new it we were up in the air and heading off to Basel, Switzerland. I got the window seat and deg sat in the middle talking to his new buddy and giving her a We Steal Flyers sticker from his bottomless pocket of sticky circle pictures of me and him sharing a bathroom. Hahaha!
We were planning on jumping on a train to Lucerne but the amazing Swiss Steffi turned up in her little Clio to pick us up and take us to the Hotel Pickwick. As usual I jumped in the drivers seat and headed off on the wrong side of the road. Its a strange thing driving on the wrong side of the road and the roads are pretty strict in Switzerland and before I knew it we were heading along a motorway in a 120kmh stretch and a speed camera lit up the road behind me. I think it may have sneakily changed to a 100kmh and confuddled other side driving Shaggy didn't see it. Oooops!! either that or it was just some fireworks for the Flyers arriving in Switzerland.
We had a quick stop off on the motorway at a co-op which for some reason had a Sex toy shop in the entrance? So the first place we stopped off on tour in Switzerland was the MEGA SEX STORE! Hahahha… After Steffi checked out all the 'toys' and Derek and me grabbed a few goodies to nibble on we hit the road again to Lucerne trying not to set off any more speed cameras.
I'm not sure how many tours exactly we have done in Switzerland but its always a nostalgic feeling driving in as you come over the bridge over Lucerne Lake and you remember some of the times had in this beautiful part of the world.
"Have guitar, will travel" was an album by Bo Diddley and when I first started getting into the acoustic guitar as a young laddie, I remember it popping up in different places and my musical buddy Paul Bainbridge used to be always singing and playing Billy Bragg songs. He would teach me his songs and he gave me a book with his music in with 'Have guitar, will travel' on a silhouette drawing of Billy Bragg. Its always stuck with me and I even have a old Tattoo with the words on a scroll on my left arm as I sit here in Lucerne in a hotel writing this Blog with the Lake Lucerne in front of me and my guitar sitting by me in its case.
We met up with Mark our tour manager here in Switzerland and Mr. Bill Weir and the five of us had a catch up and I sank a few Guinness as we sat in the corner of the Hotel Pickwick bar on the lake of Lucerne. Then it was up to our rooms to get some well needed sleep after I made a little start on the blog.
Before I knew it I'm waking up by an amazing lake in Switzerland and ready for another step into more Amazing Adventures Always. We are here with a great tour ahead of us!!
Here is our tour dates for the adventure ahead!
- 19th Gallus Pub, St. Gallen, Switzerland
- 20th Pickwick Pub, Baden, Switzerland

After they have learned about the country they will receive a visa to put in their passport (these are only pretend). So make sure they are here every Friday so that they can collect all 30 visas by the end of the year. They will also have to write a report and give a presentation (usually to a lower grade) at the end of the year on the country they were assigned.
I have been married for 12 years to my wife Nicole and have a 10 year old son named Bobby, who will be starting 5th grade this year. I also have a cat named Owl. In my free time I love to work in the yard, draw, watch movies and listen to music. I also love spending time "Up North" Traverse City area. (The ocean has nothing on Lake Michigan) As far as school goes, my favorite subject was always History, but I always struggled with speling, oops, I mean spelling. I can't wait to learn about you and share more about me this year, as we learn a whole bunch of new stuff!
The first book order of the year is always the most important to getting your child off to a good start with reading, while helping to build our classroom library. By allowing your child to choose a book or more that interests him/her, it will encourage them to want to read more. For every book purchased throughout the year our classroom receives points to redeem for books to put in our class library. For every dollar spent we earn 1 point (20 points = $1 to spend). However, the first book order offers bonus points up to 10,000 if we reach $300. I know that is a lofty goal, but we have hit it before. That would mean we would get 10,300 points or about $500 to spend to build our classroom library. We also receive 10 free recent release books and up to 6 small group sets of books. I am giving 2 weeks instead of the normal 1 to reach this goal. Therefore, take a look through this Scholastic Books order form with your child and see if their is one or maybe two books you could order to spark their interest in reading this school year as well as benefit our classroom library. This will be the only time I ask you to order from Scholastic since it is such a value to our classroom.
Thank You,
Mr. Samuels
Orders are due by Friday, September 7, 2018.
Please make checks payable to Scholastic Book Clubs, or click Book Clubs link above and create an account then enter our classroom code H94Z2 to use a credit card.
Thank you for all of your support!

Let me guess: You sell curry
The colloquial name for
curry leaves is curry patta and its botanical name is murraya koenigi. Curry leaves grow on a small shrub commonly
found in backyards or gardens around Indian houses. The leaves are the edible part and they are shiny, dark green,
aromatic and slightly bitter in taste. As the colloquial name suggests, these leaves are one of the ingredients of
Indian curries, cooked vegetables, salads, chutneys and spices. They add to the smell and taste of food and in
addition to the food value. Although the leaves are added to Indian dishes as a natural flavoring agent, it is well
known that they have some medicinal value as well. Curry leaves improve functioning of the stomach and small
intestine and promote their action. They improve the quality of digestive juices secreted during digestion. Their
action starts with intake. Their smell, taste and visual impression initiates salivary secretion and initiates the
peristaltic wave, which is the first step in good digestion. They are mildly laxative and thus can tackle multiple
digestive problems caused by food intake. They are directly added to food or an extract in the form of juice is
added to buttermilk and consumed at the end of lunch/dinner. In case of a digestive upset, buttermilk enriched with
the paste of curry leaves, common salt and cumin seed powder is recommended. This combination is also useful in
problems such as loss of appetite, tastelessness of mouth as in case of fever etc. where food intake is a problem.
Curry leaves are one of the important ingredients of herbal tonics and are parallel to digestive enzymatic tonics in
A paste of these leaves with limejuice and honey/sugar/crystal sugar powder is a time-tested
medicine in the treatment of hyperemesis graviderum. Nausea, dry vomiting, vomiting and food intolerance are few
other conditions where this paste is used as a remedy. Curry leaves have some role in the treatment of diarrhea,
dysentery and idiopathic loose motions though they are not antidiarrheal in the true sense. Fresh juice/ a paste of
fresh leaves/a teaspoonful of powdered dried leaves /a mixture of curry leaves, coriander, mint leaves, etc. is a
commonly known home made remedy. Certain ayurvedic research says that curry leaves have some role in controlling
non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. People with DM due to obesity or heredity should try this treatment. A
paste of about 8 to 10 fresh, fully-grown curry leaves is to be taken on an empty stomach in the morning for a
minimum of 3 months for desired results. Many people have also reported weight loss, which is an additional benefit
in diabetic people. The bark or root of this plant also has medicinal properties. One ayurvedic school recommends
powdered root/bark for relief from kidney/biliary pain. Traditional healers have observed some effects on premature
graying of hair. Regular intake of these leaves with buttermilk is advised. Few have tried currying leaves for
treatment of minor burns, bruises, abrasions, etc. and claiming benefits of the
Ayurvedic Treatment More clinical trials are
necessary to prove effectiveness. Traditional healers in villages use these leaves with a few other medicinal leaves
for the treatment of insect bites and claim desired results. In this treatment, these are applied externally in
poultice form. In general, curry leaves are used confidently in daily cooking without the advice of a medical
practitioner. They are food ingredients as well as medicinal ingredients. They add to taste and have digestive
properties. They have some role in the management of diabetes, but this needs further research

Yeah, he had a link to his

To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical.

Wilko Cake Pop Moulds Review
Reviewed by Emma Baker
This was one review I had to fight my 10 year old daughter for, we have always wanted a cake pop machine but couldn't justify yet another kitchen gadget and this seemed like a great compromise. The box was white and clearly labelled and brightly illustrated and you could tell straight away what it was, on the back it had the care and usage instructions which we easy to follow the box contained an instruction leaflet and the 20 Cake Pop Silicon Moulds in pink also 20 Pop Sticks.
After firstly giving the moulds a good wash and preheated the oven, we used Fry Light to grease the pods before putting in the mixture (we used a basic sponge mix) we filled the bottom mould about 3/4 full and then put the top mould on (the one with the holes in it) and placed in the oven we found the it was easiest to put the mould on a baking tray so that it was kept level.
Once cooked we placed on the side to cool, once they were cooled we gently lifted the top mould off and the cake balls just popped out quite easily and we inserted the sticks provided and then used melted chocolate, icing pens and sprinkles to decorate. They looked awesome and tasted great too.
The mould was really easy to use and clean after we had finished and I'm glad we opted for this instead of a big electric machine as these are easy to store. A great addition to anyone's kitchen regardless of age everyone would make great use of this fun gadget! Now the big question is who gets to say it's theirs … me or my daughter!
This is definitely a product I would be recommending to anyone and at a bargain price of just £5 it would be worth every penny!
We displayed our cake pops that we made in the beautiful cake pop wooden stand. It is cream in colour, holds 12 cake pops and has ' cake pops' written on the front. It had clean and care instructions on the bottom instructing to just wipe clean. The stand is heavy and well-made and is just perfect to show off any yummy cake pops made, at £4 I think is a bargain price for a well-made great looking item.
Rating: 5/5
RRP: Cake Pops Mould £5, Cake Pops Stand £4
Available to buy from Wilko in-store or online here.

Battle Wounds: Two Days After
The most notable ache is my quads and hamstrings, which is exactly what forced me into my survivor's shuffle on Sunday. My quads have this really strange sensation where they hurt to use or press on, but on the surface they feel numb. I made an attempt at jogging across my apartment, just to see if it worked. Oh, believe you me, it didn't! I looked very much like a 400lb man in a hurry to get to the bathroom!
I have a whole list of other issues, but thought I'd save you all the details; don't want to scare away any future marathoners!
Right now the plan is to eat as much protein as I can to help these muscles repair themselves. I also want to keep moving as much as possible to help loosen things up; I'm planning a recovery jog tomorrow after my massage. A friend also suggested filling dixie cups with water, freezing them, and using them for an ice/massage combo -- slowly tearing away the cup as the ice melts.
The strange thing is even when I'm in pain after such a rough race, I'm already trying to plan the next one. I'm looking at different options to try and get a Boston qualifier in so I can still run it in 2008. I'm trying to open a lot of doors, though, because recovery could go quick or slow and I really don't want to push it too hard and bring out more injuries!
Heres to ice, Aleve, self-massage, stretching, protein, and an attempt to keep moving!

Good luck with that. Keep moving. I did a little recovery last week - I though I would die trying to jog a little after my famous 10 miler behind the cop car experience, but pretty soon the blood was pumping through and getting everything moving. Amazing how that works. In about a half mile I didn't hurt at all. That's when you know you are hooked, when it feels better to run, than not to :D

BEYOND THE BLUE IKARIAN SEA: Life in Greece and North America 2nd Ed.
by John Chrysochoos, Ph.D.
Ariss innocent early childhood on the beautiful and serene Greek island of Ikaria was painfully interrupted by World War II and the subsequent Greek Civil War. The occupation by the enemy, the following famine, the flight to Palestine and the subsequent Greek Civil War had a profound effect upon Ariss personality. His interest in political, educational, social and societal issues while in Greece was attributed to those experiences. His subsequent travel to North America, Canada at first and United States during most of his adult life, made him fully aware of aspects of life completely alien to him, namely, xenophobic, anti-foreign and jingoistic issues, as well as sexism and racism.
Current political partisanship in both the United States and Greece is affecting life enormously. The reminiscence of the blue sea surrounding that faraway island provided Aris always with peace of mind in dealing with such complex societal issues in his life.
About the Author
The author was born on the Greek island of Ikaria in the mid-thirties. He completed both elementary and high school on the island, with a brief interruption while in Palestine as a war refugee. His higher education was completed at the University of Athens, Greece (1953-1957).
Following his discharge from the Greek Royal Navy (1958-1960), he earned his M.Sc. (1962) and Ph.D. (1964) in chemistry at UBC in Vancouver B.C., Canada.
In 1964 Chrysochoos settled in the United States as an educator and researcher. He was associated with several universities in North America and in Greece, namely, Harvard, IIT, the University of Western Ontario, the University of Toledo, Bowling Green State University, and the Universities of Crete and Patras. He is currently professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Toledo, Ohio.

The Frogg Toggs Hellbender™ Chest Waders are ideally designed for casual yet passionate anglers. Loaded with all of the essential features you need the Hellbender™ wader is an elegant blend of functionality and comfort. Built from ultra-lite microfiber DriPore™ waterproof fabric the Hellbender™ wader keeps you dry all day long while offering great breathability. The DriPore™ fabric used to construct the Hellbender™ wader is a 4-ply system that seals out water and maximizes durability. This groundbreaking technology allows Frogg Toggs to offer high-quality dependable waders at a great price for any angler.
In addition to the excellent DriPore™ technology used to construct the Hellbender™ wader, Frogg Toggs has constructed the knees and shins of the wader with a double-layer. This reinforces the most puncture prone areas of the wader and ensures greater longevity so you can spend more time on the water and less time patching holes.
Rounding out the other great features already mentioned, the comfort-fit, adjustable elastic wading belt is included with the Hellbender™ chest wader and is kept secure with the integrated belt loops attached to the wader, ensuring you don't lose your wading belt. For added comfort, the Hellbedner™ wader has been constructed with adjustable X-Back suspender shoulder straps allowing for greater range of motion and reduced fatigue while out on the water. The no-sand attached gravel guards with built-in no-slip grips eliminate the need for unattached gravel guards and ensure your feet stay comfortable all day. Finally, Frogg Toggs has integrated three zippered, waterproof chest pockets so you can keep your essential gear on hand when you need it most.
This Frogg Toggs Hellbender™ Chest Wader is available in all standard sizes as well as stout sizing to ensure a perfect fit for every angler. Additionally, The Hellbender™ wader is backed by Frogg Toggs 1-year manufacturer's warranty that covers any manufacturing defects for the first year of use.
If you are just getting started or are in need of a high-quality and fairly priced wader, the Frogg Toggs Hellbender™ Chest Wader is the perfect fit for you.
Purchased these waders for a father/son fishing trip in Colorado. Both of us wore the Hellbender for nine straight days (in 6 different rivers) and did not have one issue. No leaks at seams or in either sock. We fished hard and actually did some hiking in them as well. Getting ready for opening season for trout in three weeks so will definitely get more use soon. Great waders for the price (Ochocos - $89/free shipping).
Leaked with in a couple weeks and not from a hole but from the seems
Bought this product back in July (2017) and wore them, along with the Hellbender boots, about 6-7 times when the feet started to leak. As well as when I wade in higher water the front pocket tends to leak and fill with water. Not a fan of the soft-soled waders. Boots are looking, feeling, and working as good as the day I bought them, just the waders are already showing signs of extreme wear. Not what I would consider a durable and long term use pair of waders. Returning waders under warranty.
The nylon portion of the wader is top quality; rugged, breathable, and lightweight. However, after one summer of use, the stocking feet started to leak.
However, I called customer service and exchanged them for a new and different pair, no issues. Pleased with the customer support, just not the product.
I almost bought a much more expensive wader and then saw the reviews for these...I agree, they're excellent. They fit well (I'm 5' 11" 160, bought the medium), they're very durable and still don't leak after a year of use. The storage pockets are great. My only complaint would be the fleece pocket hand warmer, I'd like it to be a little bigger and fleece lined on both sides BUT that's minor seeing as they got everything else right. Did I mention THEY DON"T LEAK?
These guys are great, they ship fast and free over $50!
Great fit and finish but waders leak at the seams after about 4 or 5 time out

Captain Lee Rosbach Weathers Hurricane Matthew: "We're All Good Down Here"
But celebrities are lending their support to those who continue to be affected by the storm.
Hurricane Matthew has hit the United States, and Captain Lee Rosbach is thankful that he and his family in South Florida were "virtually unscathed" by the storm, which weakened to a still powerful Category 3 hurricane as it roared north across the state's east coast Friday. "South Fla, was lucky. Matthew wobbled east just a wee bit to give us a real break. We came thru virtually unscathed," the Below Deck boss wrote on Facebook Friday. "North Fla, maybe not so much. Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers. Send some for our friends to the north, [we're] all good down here. Thank you so much."
Captain Lee expected something much worse as he prepared for the hurricane's arrival on Thursday.
But Ben Robinson, who also lives in South Florida in Fort Lauderdale, seemed cool as a cucumber while anticipating the storm's arrival. "I'm gonna be here all weekend. I'm actually gonna stick a live camera up in my bedroom, and you can monitor me," he joked during a Facebook live chat on Tuesday. "Hey, if it gets really bad, just call the paramedics."
Kate Chastain, who lives in Melbourne, Florida, did not have the same attitude when it came to Hurricane Matthew. She revealed on Twitter that she evacuated safely to Orlando to wait out the storm, and she was prepared for the worst.
Though the chief stew is not a big fan of beach picnics, as we've seen on Below Deck, she said the experience of packing up basically everything on the yacht for those parties came "in handy prepping for #HurricaneMatthew."
Below Deck Mediterranean's Bobby Giancola, sent his hope for his fellow Floridians to "be safe" on Twitter.
And The Real Housewives of Miami's Lea Black was definitely not happy about Hurricane Matthew's arrival.
Southern Charm's Landon Clements revealed on Twitter that Charleston has battened down the hatches in anticipation of the storm, which is expected to cause serious rainfall and possible flooding in South Carolina beginning Saturday morning.
However, she has found some fun in being stuck indoors.
Fellow Charlestonian Patricia Altschul prepped her gorgeous Charleston mansion in anticipation of the storm.
Thomas Ravenel evacuated to safety with his children, Kensie and St. Julien, as well.
Celebrities who were not directly impacted by the storm are sending their thoughts and prayers through social media to those who have been affected, especially those in Haiti, where the death toll continues to rise in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew.
