Press Release
May 1, 2018
Sen. Bam joins Filipino workers' call to end endo
On Labor Day, Senator Bam Aquino urged the President to fulfil his campaign promise to end the practice of unjust "endo" or end of contract in the country, saying he is willing to work on and support sound legislation on the issue.
"Maraming manggagawa ang umaasa sa pangakong ito. Huwag sana itong mauwi sa pangakong napako," said Sen. Bam, adding that Filipinos need job security and deserve to be regularized.
Sen. Bam expressed willingness to help the administration to put a stop to endo through legislation, stressing that being in the opposition doesn't prohibit him from working for the sake of the workers' welfare.
"Basta't para sa ikabubuti ng taumbayan, handa kaming magtrabaho at sumuporta," said Sen. Bam, the principal sponsor of the free college and free internet laws - two major reforms of the Duterte Administration.
"Ayaw nating manatiling pangarap na lang ang inaasam ng marami nating mga kababayan na magkaroon regular na trabaho," Sen. Bam added.
In the 17th Congress, Sen. Bam has filed several measures concerning the welfare of Filipino workers, including overseas Filipino workers, military reservists and freelancers.
Senate Bill No. 1698 or the Reservist Employment Rights Act, principally sponsored and co-authored by Sen. Bam has hurdled third and final reading in the Senate. It provides job security and other benefits for military reservists in return for their service to the country.
Sen. Bam also filed Senate Bill No. 648 or the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipino Assistance Act to boost support for the OFW community and the families they leave back home. If passed into law, the measure integrates programs on livelihood, entrepreneurship, savings, investments and financial literacy to the existing efforts of embassies to equip OFWs with knowledge to start their own business.
Sen. Bam submitted Senate Bill No. 351 or the Freelancers Protection Act to protect the rights and welfare of freelancers. The bill gives freelancers the power to demand from their employer what they are rightfully due under their agreement.
In his almost five years in the Senate, Sen. Bam has 19 laws to his name, including the landmark free college law and the Go Negosyo Act, which has now established over 800 Negosyo Centers in the country.

The Master in Mathematical Engineering is an interdisciplinary engineering master centred on the notion of mathematical model that has become instrumental in engineering sciences. Through a training in modelling, simulation and optimization (MSO), the students learn to design, analyse and implement mathematical models to be applied to complex systems of the industrial or corporate world, and to create efficient strategies to optimize their performance.
The mandatory courses provide the students with the necessary common skills in MSO. They span the domains of numerical analysis and scientific computing, dynamical systems, matrix computations, stochastic models, optimization models and methods.
Students are moreover offered several coherent lists of courses, called "options". Some of the options provide them with advanced skills in various branches of MSO: optimization and operations research, dynamical systems and control, and computational engineering. The other options pertain to data science, financial mathematics, cryptography & information security, biomedical engineering, business risks and opportunities, and launching of small and medium-sized companies.
Below is the competency framework common to all the engineering masters. The Master in Mathematical Engineering distinguishes itself by the interdisciplinary engineering scope of the competencies and by the fact that modelling-related competencies are strengthened by the strong MSO background acquired by the students.
On successful completion of this programme, each student is able to :
1.2 Identify and use appropriate modelling and calculation tools to solve problems
1.3 Verify the plausibility and confirm the validity of results
2.2 Model the problem and design one or more original technical solutions that correspond to the specifications note
2.3 Evaluate and classify the solutions in terms of all the criteria found in the specifications note: efficiency, feasibility, quality, ergonomics and environmental security
2.4 Implement and test a solution through a mock up, a prototype or a numerical model
2.5 Formulate recommendations to improve the operational character of the solution being studied
3.2 Propose a model and/or an experimental device in order to simulate or test hypotheses relating to the phenomenon being studied
3.3 Write a cumulative report that explains the potential of the theoretical or technical innovations resulting from the research project
4.2 Collaborate on a work schedule, deadlines and roles
4.3 Work in a multidisciplinary environment with peers holding different points of view; manage any resulting disagreement or conflicts
4.4 Make team decisions and assume the consequences of these decisions (whether they are about technical solutions or the division of labour to complete a project)
5.2 Present your arguments and adapt to the language of your interlocutors: technicians, colleagues, clients, superiors
5.3 Communicate through graphics and diagrams: interpret a diagram, present project results, structure information
5.4 Read and analyse different technical documents (rules, plans, specification notes)
5.5 Draft documents that take into account contextual requirements and social conventions
5.6 Make a convincing oral presentation using modern communication techniques.
6.2 Find solutions that go beyond strictly technical issues by considering sustainable development and the socio-economic ethics of a project
6.3 Demonstrate critical awareness of a technical solution in order to verify its robustness and minimize the risks that may occur during implementation.
6.4 Evaluate oneself and independently develop necessary skills for "lifelong learning" in the field

SPOTLIGHT: 614 Studio
Cbus Chic: Tell us about Studio 614.
Megan Sharbaugh, owner: Studio 614 is a local traveling art studio, offering private parties and classes in local restaurants, bars, homes, clubhouses, and other venues. We offer an endless variety of art classes for special occasions- from Pinterest parties to canvas painting parties. We can even help a bride plan her bachelorette party so that everyone contributes to the creation of the wedding décor!
Cbus Chic: What inspired you to start your own business?
Sharbaugh: There are 2 inspirations behind Studio 614.
1) What it does for women in particular. How many times have you pinned something on Pinterest and thought "that would be so fun to create. I'm going to do it next December"? Then, it never happened. But if it did happen, it was one of the most memorable times. Creating things is particularly stimulating when you live a busy life full of working and/or pleasing others. Creating something with your own hands that you can claim as your own is one of the most rewarding activities we can partake in, whether it's an ongoing hobby or just something we schedule once a year. It's healthy. It feeds the soul. It's not about how amazing your piece of art turns out. It's about spending time with friends and family, exercising the right side of your brain, and accomplishing something that otherwise wouldn't happen.
2) Every person who used the phrase "starving artist" in conversation with me while I was in college- inspired me to dive into something that I knew would thrive right now in the present- and also, something I could modify in the future.
Cbus Chic: When did Studio 614 first begin/launch?
Sharbaugh: The company was open for business on November 1st of 2014.
Cbus Chic: What makes Studio 614 different from other art studios?
Sharbaugh: We aren't focused on one particular subject. You can actually submit a board from Pinterest and say "I don't know what I want to make, but this is what I like". Then, we'll take it from there. We love trying new art projects- and then turning it into a party.
Cbus Chic: What should clients expect at a Pinterest party?
Sharbaugh: Expect a mess. Hot glue, paint, beer, glitter, ribbons, stencils, music, cheese cubes… etc.
Cbus Chic: Tell us about a typical painting class.
Sharbaugh: The painting classes on our schedule are usually 2 or 3 hours long. I spend a lot of time walking around and individually helping each person. If they want, I'll even touch up their paintings. The classes are structured so that I take them all through the painting step-by-step. However, the images are already sketched on the canvases so that some of the students will just be painting and following the lines. They prefer less instruction and are more interested in painting on their own and enjoying the atmosphere that surrounds them.
Cbus Chic: Where are you located?
Sharbaugh: Everywhere!
Cbus Chic: What is new on the horizon for your business?
Sharbaugh: Brand ambassadors. They are fun promoters who run around the city representing the brand- attending events, booking private parties, and living the company motto.
Cbus Chic: Where can readers go to learn more?
Sharbaugh: www.thestudio614.com social media: @thestudio614

Getting ready for PAYE Modernisation
PAYE Modernisation
On January 1st of 2019, the biggest shake-up in the Irish PAYE system since 1960 will come into effect, known as PAYE Modernisation, it means that employers will have to calculate and report the pay and deductions of all their staff in real time.
The logic behind PAYE Modernisation is that by reporting deductions and payments as they're being made, it will make it easier to ensure that the correct amounts of Income Tax, USC, PRSI, and LPT are all paid exactly when they are due, meaning that over-payment or underpayment of taxes will become a thing of the past.
-Webinar On-Demand –
PAYE Modernisation…
Are You Ready For It?
In the run-up to PAYE Modernisation, all employers and payroll bureaus need to review and amend their current practices, giving themselves enough time to have new systems in place by January 1st next.
In this PAYE Modernisation webinar recording Revenue & Pimbrook covered the following key areas:
- A brief introduction to PAYE Modernisation
- What it all means to employers and their agents
- The implications and benefits for the workforce
- Revenue's timelines and rollout schedule
- Potential pitfalls for employers
- Differences between processing Payroll manually and using software from January 1st
PAYE Modernisation will be effective from 1st January 2019 –
start preparing ..
By watching this video recording we hope that you'll be more prepared in the short-term and this will eventually lead to a reduction in the admin burden on you as an employer and enable you to fulfill PAYE obligations with confidence.
*All information was accurate at time of recording on April 25th, 2018

The Home Office has unveiled new figures which show that burglaries have gone up by 4%. Insurers are urging property owners to invest in good buildings and contents cover to make sure they're covered should they be the victim of a burglary.
Many home insurance companies offer unlimited buildings and contents cover, so it's worth shopping around before signing up.
Once you're covered, there are still simple precautions that can be taken to cut your chances of being targeted by burglaries, but new research from Halifax Home Insurance has found that many people don't bother.
The investigation by Halifax discovered that nearly 30% of burglaries happen because doors or windows are left open or unlocked. Despite this, 22% of home owners leave doors and windows unlocked when they are in the property, especially during the summer months when the weather is warmer.
The Home Office has teamed up with the Association of British Insurers to provide advice for home owners who are worried about burglary, including:
· Fit appropriate locks on all doors and windows
· Invest in security lighting around your property
· Mark your belongings with a UV pen
· Intruder alarms protect the outside of your home
· Invest in light-timers to give the appearance of an occupied home even when you are out

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) — Following the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's redacted report, the Rhode Island Congressional delegation is calling for the release of the full report to help connect the dots.
The 448-page report was delivered to members of Congress late Thursday morning – around the same time it was shared online.
PDF: Read the Mueller report »
According to the report, Mueller says investigators identified numerous links between members of President Donald Trump's campaign and individuals with ties to the Russian government, however, there was no sufficient evidence to charge anyone for conspiring with Russia to influence the 2016 election.
In terms of obstruction, Mueller says they were unable to "conclusively determine that no criminal conduct occurred." Attorney William Barr said he and Deputy General Rod Rosenstien later concluded that no obstruction took place.
Both Congressmen David Cicilline and Jim Langevin agree that the unredacted Mueller report needs to be released in order for them see the full picture.
"In light of his misleading attempt to spin the report this morning, it's clear that the only reason Attorney General Barr has for keeping the full report from Congress is to protect the President," Cicilline said in a statement.
Cicilline, who is on the Judiciary Committee, expects they will issue a subpoena for the full report.
Langevin said Congress needs more time to analyze the report before coming to a conclusion.
"It's too early to say if anything in here is going to rise to the level of obstruction," Langevin explained.
The report redacted 12 items that the Special Counsel referred to other law enforcement agencies for potential criminal activity.
According to Langevin, Mueller should testify before the Congress, House and Senate to help them better understand the findings. Barr said he is not opposed to Mueller testifying.
"It is imperative that the American people have an opportunity to hear the Special Counsel discuss his findings without further spin or interpretation from the Attorney General," Langevin said in a statement.
Senator Jack Reed said the redacted report leaves many questions unanswered and the full report should be released as soon as possible.
"Congress has many responsibilities, including doing more to help those Americans hurt by the President's so-called economic policies, but Congress also has a duty to the Constitution and to oversight," Reed said in a statement. "Simply letting the President's Attorney General release a partial report that was misleadingly summarized prior to its publication is unacceptable under any Administration."
Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said he's unsure how to feel about the redacted report.
"Attorney General Barr's performance regarding the report is a mixed bag," Whitehouse said in a statement. "I have no reason to believe his redactions to the report were not made justifiably and in good faith. On the other hand he has over the past few weeks used his office to perform what I consider to be inappropriate PR services for the Trump White House: rosy summary language creating White House "spin" opportunities; delay in releasing the redacted report allowing the "spin" to set; and the deliberate use of inappropriate language feeding conspiracy theories favored by Trump, derogatory to DOJ agencies."

The formula is genuinely easy to pursue and simple to make and consistently gets extraordinary applause.
You could purchase Alfredo Sauce in a jug in a store yet it's significantly more enjoyable to attempt yourself and
immaculate you possess form.
The essential Alfredo Sauce Recipe is a warmed blend of spread, cream and Parmesan cheddar. From this fundamental
formula, numerous varieties have emerged and discretionary seasonings added by the flavor of the cook.
Alfredo Sauce is additionally very adaptable and is particularly great when utilized in Shrimp Alfredo Recipes as
well as over vegetables or left over chicken with sauted mushrooms.
Similarly as with most things throughout everyday life, better quality fixings will give a superior outcome. Attempt to utilize the genuine cheddar,
valid Parmigiano Reggiano is perfect however conventional Parmesan will do fine. The Fettuccini ought to in a perfect world
be crisp (this cooks in around 2 minutes) yet on the off chance that you purchase dry Fettuccine, at that point attempt to get the most slender accessible.
My real formula beneath incorporates chicken and it goes so superbly with the Alfredo Sauce. It's one of my
most loved approaches to serve chicken with pasta. I have attempted to keep this formula basic with as couple of varieties
as could be expected under the circumstances. I adore garlic so I just couldn't forget about it yet you can on the off chance that you like. There are some cooking
tips underneath the essential formula that merit considering before you start cooking.
3 skinless chicken bosoms
2 Tbs olive oil
2 tsp squashed garlic (discretionary for sauteing chicken)
4 Tbs margarine
1 cup substantial cream
1 cup ground Parmesan (Parmigiano Reggiano)
8 oz Fettucine Pasta (or enough to nourish 4 individuals)
salt to your taste
a little ground dark pepper to draw out the taste
a little sugar to taste
run of nutmeg (the key to great Alfredo Sauce)
Cooking Instructions
The Fettucine
You first need to cook your pasta and I'm accepting that you realize how to do as such, so simply adhere to the directions on the fettuccini parcel. At the point when the fettuccine is cooked, channel it and put it in a safe spot.
The Alfredo Sauce
Dissolve the margarine over a low warmth in a pot that will be enormous enough to hold the pasta toward the finish of the cooking. Try not to allow it to bubble, simply softened and warm is fine.
Gradually include the cream and blend with a spoon until it is hot yet not bubbling and has decreased somewhat.
Presently include the Parmesan cheddar a little at once and blend until it is altogether liquefied. The sauce may take a long time to thicken, continue blending and don't allow it to bubble. Include the seasonings (counting the sugar) as indicated by your taste. In the event that the parmesan is ground too course it won't dissolve in well. Mesh the cheddar as fine as workable for best outcomes. The sauce can set aside a long effort to diminish. Try not to be enticed to include flour or cornstarch for thickening as it alters the flavor.
The Chicken
While the Fettucine is cooking you can set up the chicken bosoms. Warmth the olive oil in a griddle and saute the chicken and garlic until the chicken juice runs clear and the chicken is finished.
When the Alfredo sauce is done, blend in the cooked chicken and after that add the cooked pasta to the Alfredo and chicken.
Other Alfredo Sauce Ideas and Tips
The essential Alfredo Sauce is extremely pleasant over vegetables like broccoli cauliflower and beans.
A few cooks like to thicken the sauce by including a 1/2 bundle of cream cheddar. Attempt to abstain from thickening with flour or cornstarch, it spoils the flavor. You can likewise have a go at including more parmesan and cooking it for somewhat more. Here I've found that tolerance is the way to progress. On the off chance that you rush the sauce, you won't get similar outcomes.
Unsalted buttermakes a tremendous distinction to the flavor. Utilizing salted spread with the solid kind of the parmesan can result in over-salty sauce and be disagreeable to eat.
Presently Nutmeg may appear as though a weird expansion however it makes a tremendous distinction in the wow factor and as I would see it's the mystery fixing.
For something other than what's expected saute bacon and mushrooms with squashed garlic and serve it with the Chicken and Alfredo sauce.

America was created by people fleeing the Extremist Religious Persecution in England, to Amsterdam. In Amsterdam they, whilst hiding in exile, they learned of the importance of liberty, freedom, tolerance, acceptance, open-mindedness, and how important it was to treat each other as equal and with respect, regardless of their differences in religion, personal beliefs, culture or country of origin. They already knew firsthand about tyranny, intolerance, religious bigotry and oppression from their time in England. Now they were able to see firsthand what a tolerant, accepting, open-minded, liberal society looked like. They fled, purposely, to the most liberal society in all of Europe, the only place they could feel protected, unmolested, and free to practice or believe whatever they wanted to without fear of judgement, reprisal, or punishment.
They heard about a ship sailing for America, named the Mayflower. They returned just long enough to hop on the ship and get as far away from England as possible. Amsterdam was a nice exile, albeit temporary, and they still needed a home, and here they found an opportunity. Their primary reason for securing passage to America aboard the Mayflower was to escape the oppression, judgments, criticisms, opinions, intolerance, enforced morality, and suppression of their personal freedoms & liberties. They needed, desperately, to get out from under their inability to do what they wanted to do according to the dictates of their own individual consciences, openly and freely.
They learned, in Amsterdam, a culture of open mindedness and acceptance of others regardless of creed, belief, religion, religious practice, or personal choices and decisions. It was a culture of respect for individuals and individual freedoms, and respect for the inherent worth and equality of all people and their personal rights, in their personal lives. They were an international group of expats, travel-savvy, minds open to different cultures and people. They decided the only place to be truly free was in a new land who's only promise was freedom.
They arrived as immigrants, twice expatriated from their native home in the UK. They arrived with little more than hope and a dream for freedom from persecution. They arrived tired, poor, homeless, tempest-tossed, yearning to breathe free. They arrived in America as Exiles. They lived wretched, miserable lives, across the world from the very pinnacle of civilization which they left.
There were also those aboard the Mayflower who were not exiles, who were directly from England.
They all had an understandable, albeit typical view of "heathen" Native American cultures. Nevertheless, they understood differences and were content for the most part to live their lives on their own, separate from the world, as they had grown accustomed to doing. Some of the members who were not exiles likely had a more prejudiced view of and attitude towards Native Americans.
More and more people came to America. Many were very smart and intelligent, most weren't, but were just looking for opportunity. Most all of them were not escaping religious persecution in the same way the main families aboard the Mayflower were.
The colonies were growing, each location led by a common belief or religion, in most cases. There were a few colonies and locations within the colonies which had a tolerant and accepting policy towards all religions, and allowed anyone to have any religions they wanted. The incorporated British colonies didn't, and neither did many others.
As more and more people came to America from different cultures like the Dutch, the Germans, the Irish, the Scottish, the Italians, the Norse, the Swedes, etc, more personalities, cultural influences, language nuances, beliefs and family cultures became prevalent throughout daily life in most of the colonies, as did the need to understand and accept different people, from different places, with different cultures, beliefs, & values.
America had been forming it's own culture from the first arrival of immigrants, and that became its own identity. The Declaration of Independence states that all mankind, not just Americans, but ALL MANKIND, are entitled to certain inalienable rights, a number of them, and that among this number of inalienable rights, are "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness".
Begin War.
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.
- Liberty. That is a right that is inalienable to you, unable to ever be taken away, ever, whoever you are, American or otherwise, in America or in Africa, or wherever you are, all mankind.
- Pursuit of Happiness. That is your right. Pursue Happiness. Nobody has a right to take that away from you. Nobody can stop you from pursuing that which helps you find happiness. Happiness is to you what happiness is to you. Nobody can stop you, its your right. If they tried to stop you, they would be violating that inalienable right. Hence, nobody can hinder, stop, prevent,molest or in any other way to stop you from pursuing happiness. Am I stopping you from being happy? I would be fundamentally against everything America was built upon, and against a right of all mankind.
- Life – your right.
After becoming an independent nation, the framers of the Constitution created it specifically to create a protective society that would allow everyone to be free to believe and practice whatever they want to, and to create a society as much like Amsterdam as possible, where Liberty is a core concept, and the rights of individuals to oppress or judge others was removed, in favor for a place where very person can enjoy the fullness of Liberty, in all its glory.
The Preamble to the United States Constitution:
- Form a more perfect country – to make the country better, or more perfect.
- Establish Justice – to ensure Justice will always prevail.
- Insure Domestic Tranquility – to make America peaceful and safe for everyone.
- Provide for the Common Defense – to keep all Americans safe.
- Promote the General Welfare – to serve the Welfare of the American people
- Secure the Benefits of Liberty to Ourselves – to ensure we can all enjoy the fullness of having our liberty.
- Secure the Benefits of Liberty to our Posterity – to ensure the same full benefits of liberty are also provided to every American, forever.
We can clearly see a strong emphasis on absolute Liberty, Welfare, Justice, Safety & Security.
The constitution itself then contains 6 articles pertaining to the structure and functioning of government.
- Assigning Legislative Powers of Government
- About the Executive Powers of Government
- Assigning the Judicial Powers of Government
- Discusses Individual States Relationships, and specifically spells out the protection for our privilege to "the enjoyment of life and liberty"
- Discusses how to make Amendments to the Constitution
- Discusses debts and the Constitution's status, and specifically spells out that no one can be hired for a job based on if you believe they belong to such and such religion.
So, in only 6 short Articles, the only thing set up to run an entire Nation, one of the world's biggest and most prosperous nations, they brought up the rights to:
- The Enjoyment of Life – You should be enjoying your life, irregardless of who you are.
- The Enjoyment of Liberty – You should be enjoying your Liberty to do as you please, according to the dictates of your own conscience.
- Not being hired because of your religion – this still happens shamelessly in religion-dominated places in America, such as Mormon-controlled Utah/Idaho, and the Southern Bible Belt.
There are 27 Amendments to the Constitution
The first 10 were all proposed in 1789 and ratified in 1791, and are called the Bill of Rights. The other 17 Amendments were created anywhere from 4 years later, until the 27th Amendment, ratified in 1991.
The Bill of Rights:
- First Amendment:
- Prohibits any law respecting religion,
- Prohibits impeding the free exercise of others' religions
- Taking away or changing freedom of speech
- Infringing on the freedom of the press
- Interfering with the right to peaceably assemble
- Prohibiting a governmental redress of grievances
The First Amendment in the Bill of Rights specifically takes Religion as a tool away from the people who would cause others to suffer. You have a belief or a religion, woo, hoo, good for you. Keep it to yourself. Enjoy it. But it's your belief, alone. Keep your religious ideas or feelings about what your God wants or doesn't want, or what you feel the bible means, or whatever, to yourself. That's the right you have. That's the only right you have. You specifically DO NOT have the right to bother anyone else your special brand of bullcrap, nor take away anyone else's happiness, at all. Go Away. Crawl back in your hole. That's what your founding father's told you to do. Now be a good American, and STFU. You have freedom of speech, but not to take away anyone else's happiness, and not to spread your religious vitriol.
In short, as an American, you cannot bother anyone else in America, nor take away their happiness. That means wherever they are from, if they are Irish, German, English, Russian, Italian, Hungarian, Turkish, Persian, Ecuadorian, Peruvian, Chilean, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Maori, Mongolian, Filipino, Malaysian, Thai, Burmese, Lao, Hmong, Viet, Tibetan, Nepalese, Indian, Native American, Inuit, Greek, Moroccan, Israeli, Jordanian, Kuwaiti, Madagascan, South African, Congolese, Sudanese, Romanian, Slovenian, Ukrainian, Norse, or from anywhere else in the world.
You can't bother anyone with your bull. keep it to yourself, hillbilly.
You can't bother anyone else practicing their religion, be they Adamite, Agonoclita, Aladura, Amish, Anabaptist, Angelican, Anglicanism, Apostolic, Asatru, Assemblies of God, Atheism, Baha'i Faith, Baptists, Bardaisanite, Basilidean, Beghard, Beguine, Bogomilism, Bon, Brethren of the Free Spirit, Buddhism, Calvinist, Candomble, Cao Dai, Carpocratianism, Cathari, Catharism, Catholicism, Charismatic movement, Chinese Religion, Christadelphians, Christian Science, Church of God, Church of God in Christ, Church of Satan, Church of the East, Confucianism, Congregationalist, Conservative Judaism, Deism, Donatism, Dragon Rouge, Druze, Dulcinian, Eastern Orthodox Church, Ebionite, Eckankar, Ecumenical, ELCA, Epicureanism, Elcesaites, Esoteric, Evangelicalism, Falun Gong, Foursquare Church, Friends of God, Gnosticism, Greek Religion, Hare Krishna, Hasidism, Hellenic Reconstructionism, Hinduism, Illuminati, Intelligent Design, Islam, Jainism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Judaism, Kabbalah, Kemetic Reconstructionism, Latin Church, Lutheranism, Mahayana Buddhism, Marcionism, Mayan Religion, Methodism, Millerism, Mithraism, Mormonism, Nazarene, Neopaganism, New Age, New Thought, Nichiren, Nicolaitan, Norse Religion, Olmec Religion, Oneness Pentecostalism, Orthodox Judaism, Patarines, Pentecostalism, Presbyterianism, Priory of Sion, Protestantism, Pure Land Buddhism, Quakers, Rastafarianism, Reform Judaism, Rinzai Zen Buddhism, Roman Religion, Satanism, Scientology, Sethianism, Seventh-Day Adventism, Shaivism, Shi'a Islam, Shinto, Sikhism, Simonians, Soto Zen Buddhism, Southcottism, Spiritualism, Stoicism, Sufism, Sunni Islam, Swedenborgianism, Taoism, Tendai Buddhism, Theravada Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Typhonian Order, Umbanda, Unification Church, Unitarian Universalism, Vaishnavism, Vajrayana Buddhism, Valentinianism, Vedanta, Vineyard Churches, Voodoo, Westboro Baptist Church, Wicca, Worldwide Church of God, Yezidi, Zen, Zionism, Zoroastrianism, or anything else.
Our forefathers were surrounded with foreigners, foreigners made up most of the population, with different religions, beliefs, cultures and languages.
Your religion isn't any better than anyone else's, neither does anyone care. Keep it to yourself, like everyone else does, champ.
You aren't American if you push your own religious beliefs or religious supremacy or religious ideals on anyone else, or if you set them above anyone else's religion, or attack anyone else's religion, or interrupt anyone else's pursuit of happiness or freedoms whatsoever.
You aren't American by virtue of being "white", all that does is show that you don't really know who you are, where you came from, why you're here, or what you're even doing. You're lost. You're clueless. You're not "American". You're certainly not any more "American" than anyone else.
Your only right is to make another flag, different from the American Flag, perhaps similar to the Confederate one or another of your choosing, and take a name that you'd like to use, such as "The Confederate States of America" or "The Hillbilly States of the Backwoods" or whatever suits your fancy, and take them both to make war with the United States of America, against the Free and Equal United States Citizens.
You think Muslims shouldn't be here in America? You are in violation of NOT only an amendments of the constitution, but actual Articles of the original constitution. You want to think the 1st Amendment should be changed? You think the 13th Amendment granting Freedom to African Americans should be changed because it's not part of the Bill of Rights? The first Amendment that's being revoked is the 2nd, your right to bear arms, hillbilly.
You think Muslims don't belong here because their God isn't the Christian one, hillbilly?
FYI, it's the same exact God as the God of the Christian Bible, and they'll be the first to tell you so. And that is infinitely closer to your own beliefs than that of the many Gods of the Irish & Scottish Celts, and the many Gods of the Norwegians, or the Ostrogoth or the Visigoth, or Every Native American Tribe, and countless other peoples & cultures.
What's that? Their Religion says you're evil? Your own religion says everyone else is evil and going to literally burn in fire for all eternity because they're not as racist and bigoted and uneducated as you are.
You're a joke, in a one-pony circus.Take your beliefs and shove them back in the hole they came from. They are not interesting or relevant to anyone else. Are Muslims knocking on your door telling you that you're going to hell? No. Keep your stupid ideas about religion and all the rest of your idiotic beliefs to yourselves.
So, someone wanted to blow you up, and your unhappy about that? Are you actually just mad they had the balls to do it, and you don't have the balls to take out your doomsday gun and ammunition stash and start killing non-white people like you really, really want to do?
All mankind, not just those in America or just white people, but ALL mankind, has the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Muslims, in America or anywhere in the world, have the right to Life, as do you, hillbilly, and the right to Liberty, to practice, believe, worship, pray or live however they want to, in anyway they desire. And the pursuit of Happiness. Only in America is it actually guaranteed.
Yes, hillbilly, if you are unkind or unfriendly to a Muslim, or stop them from finding happiness in your little backwoods hillbilly rut, you are being the exact opposite of American. You are NOT American. You are an enemy of the United States of America, and I suggest you go talk to your buddy hoss and his sister/wife and git er done, git together and rally round the Confederate flag and bring it. Just bring it, clown.
I am descended of 8 different families aboard the Mayflower. My European ancestors have been in America for 400 years. I am Native American, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Caddo & Cherokee. My Native American ancestors have been in America for tens of thousands of years. I am Native Hawaiian. My ancestors were the first people to arrive in Hawaiian Island Archipelago.
You're an inbred redneck hillbilly. You aren't American. You're white trash. Learn the difference. You aren't more American than my little toe nail clipping I flipped out the window. You will stop your harassment and disturbing of the peace of my fellow Americans, from around the world, of all different races, cultures, and religions. You will leave the African Americans alone and beg their forgiveness on your knees. This is not your land, this is not your country. You are unwanted and unwelcome, I don't care that you were born here and have nowhere else to go. I want you gone. Start thinking of places you can go where you might fit in. I think Antarctica is the only place where your ilk might find a place where you might be liked.
This is your opposition. You've been warned.

It's true; come July 1st, Google will, by default, use its mobile Googlebot to index all the new sites that come online. This move will help ensure that the users' needs are placed at the forefront. Besides, Mobile-First indexing is something that Google has already been doing with over half of the search results anyway.
Want to Find Out Whether Your Site is Being Indexed by the Mobile Bot?
Chances are, if your site is responsive and mobile-friendly, then it is already being indexed using the mobile bot and you have nothing to worry about. However, if you still want to check whether your site is being indexed using Mobile-First indexing, then it is fairly easy to do so.
Normally, you will receive an email notifying you that your site has been migrated. In case you missed the mail, you can check using Google's URL Inspection Tool. All you have to do is add your homepage URL in the top search bar in Google Search Console account and hit enter.
The page that comes next will show you whether the site is being indexed using Google smartphone bot.
If while using the tool you are unable to understand the results you get, go through Google's URL Inspection Tool guide that offers details on all the different types of results one can get.
Questions about Ranking on Google Or Ranking Issues? Talk To Us.
Coding errors can pop up anytime and Google is all set to make it easier for us to realize when we have one on our hands. In an effort to offer more transparency on how our structured data is actually performing, Google has added three new reports to its Search Console. These new reports are as follows:
As long as your site has these specific markups, you will be able to find these reports listed under the Enhancements tab in Search Console.
Why we need these reports?
It is fairly common for an error to pop up even after you run a new code through Google's Structured Testing Tool. These new reports give you a comprehensive breakdown of when Google first discovered the error, the pages with the error and even what the error looks like.
However, while you are trying to see whether you have been able to successfully troubleshoot the markup coding issues in your site, you need to bear in mind that the reports take time to update. It can take around a week or more for the updated page code to reflect on the reports even after you Validate a Fix.

^Sphinx, by M.Shemyakin, St Petersburg source
The second excerpt from Svetlana Boym's "The future of Nostalgia". The first here.
Reflective Nostalgia: Virtual Reality and Collective Memory
"Restoration (from re-staure –re-establishment) signifies a return to the original stasis, to the prelapsarian moment. The past for the restorative nostalgic is a value for the present; the past is not a duration but a perfect snapshot. Moreover the past is not supposed to reveal any signs of decay; it has to be freshly painted in its "original image" and remain eternally young. Reflective nostalgia is more concerned with historical and individual time, with the irrevocability of the past and human finitude. Re-flection suggests new flexibility, not the reestablishment of stasis. The focus here is not on recovery of what is perceived to be an absolute truth but on the mediation on history and passage of time. To paraphrase Nabokov, these kind of nostalgics are often "amateurs of time, epicures of duration," who resist the pressure of external efficiency and take sensual delight in the texture of time not measurable by clocks and calendars.
Restorative nostalgia evoke national past and future; reflective nostalgia is more about individual and cultural memory. The two might overlap in their frames of reference, but they do not coincide in their narratives and plots of identity. In other words, they can use the same triggers of memory and symbols, the same Proustian madeleine pastry, but tell different stories about it.
Nostalgia of the first type gravitates toward collective pictorial symbols and oral culture. Nostalgia of the second type is more oriented toward an individual narrative that savours details and memorial signs, perpetually deferring homecoming itself. If restorative nostalgia ends up reconstructing emblems and rituals of home and homeland in an attempt to conquer and spatialize time, reflective nostalgia cherishes shattered fragments of memory and temporalizes space. Restorative nostalgia takes itself deadly seriously. Reflective nostalgia, on the other hand, can be ironic and humorous. It reveals that longing and critical thinking are not opposed to one another, as affective memories do not absolve one from compassion, judgement or critical reflection.
Reflective nostalgia does not pretend to rebuild the mythical place called home; it is "enamoured of distance, not of the referent itself." This type of nostalgic narrative is ironic, inclusive and fragmentary. Nostalgics of the second type are aware of the gap between identity and resemblance; the home is in ruins or, on the contrary, has been just renovated and gentrified beyond recognition. This de-familiarisation and sense of distance drives them to tell their story, to narrate the relationship between past, present and future. Through such longing these nostalgics discover that the past is not merely that which doesn't exist anymore, but, to quote Henri Bergson, the past "might act and will act by inserting itself into a present sensation from which it borrows the vitality." The past is not made in the image of the present or seen as foreboding of some present disaster; rather, the past opens up a multitude of potentialities, non-teleological possibilities of historic development. We don't need a computer to get access to the virtualities of our imagination: reflective nostalgia has a capacity to awaken multiple planes of consciousness.

The virtual reality of consciousness, as defined by Henri Bergson, is a modern concept, yet it does not rely on technology; on the contrary, it is about human freedom and creativity. According to Bergson, the human creativity, élan vital, that resists mechanical repetition and predictability, allows us to explore the virtual realities of consciousness. For Marcel Proust, remembrance is an unpredictable adventure in syncretic perception where words and tactile sensations overlap. Place names open up mental maps and space folds into time. "The memory of a particular image is but regret for a particular moment; and houses, roads, avenues are as fugitive, alas, as the years," writes Proust at the end of Swann's Way. What matters then, is the memorable literary fugue, not the actual return home.
The modern nostalgic realises that "the goal of the odyssey is a rendezvous with oneself." For Jorge Luis Borges, for instance, Ulysses returns home only to look back at his journey. In the alcove of his fair queen he becomes nostalgic for his nomadic self: "Where is that man who in the days and nights of exile erred around the world like a dog and said that Nobody was his name?" Homecoming does not signify a recovery of identity; it does not end the journey in the virtual space of imagination. A modern nostalgic can be homesick and sick of home, at once.
As most of the stories in this book suggest, the nostalgic rendezvous with oneself is not always a private affair. Voluntary and involuntary recollections of an individual intertwine with collective memories. In many cases the mirror of reflective nostalgia is shattered by experiences of collective devastation and resembles –involuntarily- a modern work of art. Bosnian poet Semezdin Mehmedinovic offers one of such shattered mirrors from his native Sarajevo:
"Standing by the window, I see the shattered glass of Yugobank. I could stand like this for hours. A blue, glassed-in façade. One floor above the window I am looking from, a professor of aesthetics comes out onto his balcony; running his fingers through his beard, he adjusts his glasses. I see his reflection in the blue façade of Yugobank, in the shattered glass that turns the scene into a live cubist painting on a sunny day.""

If you're starring in a 1980s sitcom, then the scene where you pick up a moving box full of stuff and the bottom falls out is hilarious. But in real life, there's no laugh track when eight of your best china dishes crash to the floor. So, it's a good idea to learn some packing skills basics before you start filling cardboard boxes with 80 pounds of precious -- and pricey -- dinnerware.
Is there an art to packing a box? Yes. Is there a strategy for labeling and organizing those boxes? Yes. Is there a good reason you should pack two months in advance? Yes. Find out more on the next 10 pages.
Pack the Boxes Right
For a super secure box, you should tape the seam on the bottom, and you should run a piece of tape perpendicular to that seam. Pad the bottom of the box with newspaper and stuff the sides with extra paper to really make the bottom solid. Depending on what you're packing, you should wrap each item with paper. When you've filled the box to capacity, tape it shut and label it with its contents and your name. And be sure that you label the sides of the box, not the top of the box.
Pack Boxes by the Room
Pack similar items together. For example, if you're packing up the contents of your medicine cabinet, don't add kitchen utensils to the box. That will confuse matters when you're unpacking the box. Instead, add more bathroom items to that box. And while we're talking bathroom items, washcloths and towels make excellent stuffing. They can be used to prevent items from moving around inside a box. It's best that boxes are filled to the brim to keep them from collapsing. After you've filled a box, label it with your name, what it contains and an arrow indicating which side is up. And of course, if it's fragile, write that on the box as well.
Leave Stuff in Drawers
If you want to save boxes and the trouble of moving items from a drawer to a box, then simply take the drawers out of chests and desks. As long as the drawers are full and don't contain anything breakable, you can stretch tape across the top of the drawer to hold the components in place. Be sure to use masking tape -- it won't take the paint off of the furniture. That said, don't leave the masking tape on the furniture for too long. Take it off as soon as you move the drawers into your new place.
Pack Your Plates on Edge
You may think that the most logical way to pack your plates is to place them bottoms-down into the box. But actually, plates are less likely to break if they're standing on edge inside the box. Of course you also need to wrap each plate in newspaper and include plenty of stuffing on the bottoms, sides and in the corners of the box. Put so much stuffing inside the box that the plates don't have any room to shift around at all. Generally speaking, when you're packing glass items, you should pack the largest glass items on the bottom of the box and the smaller, more delicate glass items on the top of the box. Movers aren't always delicate with boxes and if they plop one down on the floor or the ground, the glass on the bottom of the box is going to take a beating, so those items should be stronger.
If you're using professional movers, consider having them pack your fragile items. Companies are usually only liable for the things they pack themselves. So if they pack it, you're essentially insuring it.
Pack Clothes in Wardrobe Boxes
If you don't know what a wardrobe box is, it's basically a big box with a rack inside where you can hang your clothes on hangers. It's an excellent invention for clothes packing because it saves you so much time. You don't have to take your clothes off the hangers, fold them and throw them in the box. You leave them on the hangers and just move them right from your closet to the rack in the box. You can even organize your clothes by season or color, stripes and solids - whatever you like. When you arrive at your new home, you can easily unload the clothes from the box, and your closet is quickly organized.
Tape String to the Box
Here's a cool trick: When you tape a box closed, put string underneath the tape and leave a bit of the string hanging out. When you arrive at your new place and you want to unload the box, you simply yank the string and it will rip through the tape -- and voila, the box opens. It's a little bit more time consuming on the front end to cut the string and tape it to the box, but it will save you time on the back end. You won't need to get out your keys or a box cutter to slice through the box tape. You can just pull on the little string.
Label Your Boxes
If you don't label your boxes to indicate what's inside, then when you arrive at your new home, you and your movers will have no idea where each box goes. Imagine how tedious it will be to go through every single brown box, trying to figure out what's inside and which room to place it in. So, be smart and label each box. You can label it by the room and with a general description of the contents it contains. If you include the room, then the movers will know where it goes. If you just label it by the contents, then only you will know where it goes. The label should be on the sides of the box, not on the top of the box.
Keep Up with Furniture Casters and Picture Hangers
Furniture casters are likely to separate from furniture during the move. So just go ahead and remove them before transport. You can tie them together with heavy twine and tag them with the name of the furniture piece they belong to. The same thing goes for framed pictures and mirrors. Some framed items come with special screws and hanging devices that you don't want to get lost in the shuffle during the move. Save those devices in a plastic bag and either tape the bag to the mirror or frame or store the bag separately with tags that indicate which hanging devices go with which frame.
Start Packing Well Ahead of Time
Don't wait until the week before you move to start packing your things. If you're like most people, then there are some items you can pack even a couple of months before a move and not miss them. For example, pack up out-of-season clothes, holiday wares, your good china, stemware, and books you've already read and don't plan opening again in the next two months. It might be annoying to have a pile of boxes in your house for eight weeks, but it will relieve a lot of stress during those last couple of weeks before the move.
Pack Small Items in Large Boxes and Large Items in Small Boxes
When you're packing boxes, pack the small items in the large boxes and the large items in the small boxes. It's a matter of physics. Heavy items are likely to come crashing through the middle of a large box. While this makes sense for most things, books are an exception. If you fill a big box with a bunch of small books, the weight is going to add up and the box is going to be too heavy to carry. Also, pack heavier items at the bottom of the box and lighter items toward the top of the box. And remember: If you're straining to pick up a box, it probably contains too many heavy items, and it could wind up breaking.

PRESS RELEASE: The world's most powerful tidal turbine hits peak power
The world's most powerful tidal turbine, developed and manufactured by Scottish engineering company Scotrenewables Tidal Power Limited, has reached full rated power at the European Marine Energy Centre, Orkney.
After undergoing grid connected commissioning works prior to Christmas last year, the 'SR2000' was re-connected to its subsea cable in a low cost connection operation that took under an hour. All offshore operations have been delivered with small crew transfer vessels or locally based workboats.
Following energisation, the 500 tonne floating tidal turbine commenced generation and power export to the local Orkney grid. Since then the turbine has been undergoing a phased testing programme leading to full, 2MW rated export capacity being achieved on 12th April.
Andrew Scott, CEO, said: "We are tremendously excited to have the SR2000 demonstrating the performance and cost advantages of our floating tidal technology, in line with forecasts, whilst delivering new benchmarks within the tidal sector. This performance resets the bar for the costs of delivering tidal power. Achieving this industry milestone is a goal the team at Scotrenewables have worked tirelessly towards for a long time - the credit lies with them for these fantastic achievements."
The company is focused on building generation up on the SR2000 over the immediate future and demonstrating its power performance in parallel with its unique low operational costs.
This deployment is already feeding into design optimisations being made under the company's commercialisation project, FloTEC, which will see an even lower cost SR2000 model rolled out as a commercial offering in 2018.
Simon de Pietro, CEO, DP Energy, said: "This is a significant milestone for Scotrenewables and for tidal energy and we look forward to seeing the deployment of the technology in commercial arrays in the coming years as part of the overall solution for the marine energy sector".
Kurt Kaltenegger, Head of Technology, ABB Technology Ventures, said: "The SR2000 project offers a compelling demonstration of how Scotrenewables can deliver predictable, cost effective, low carbon energy through its propriety floating tidal platform technology".
Julien Pouget, Senior Vice President Renewables, Total, said: "For Total, contributing to the development of renewable energies is as much a strategic choice as an industrial responsibility. As a shareholder of Scotrenewables Tidal Power Limited we are proud to take part in a project that demonstrates how powerful utility scale tidal turbines can be deployed and maintained with low cost, locally based vessels towards a step-change cost reduction for the tidal energy sector".
Founder and Director, Barry Johnston, said: "After developing the initial concept more than a decade ago, it's fantastic to now see the latest evolution of the tidal turbine proving it's low cost power generation capability onsite connected to the UK national grid".

Kelly, knitter extraordinaire from Canada, made this first adorable little girlie monkey. She added little corkscrew i-cords for "hair" and ties and put tiny little flower earrings. (How cute is that?) I saw that little monkey project go up on Ravelry and knew we were two peas in a pod.
Sticking with the theme of "sock monkey with a twist", my friend Nicole asked me to make a sock monkey hat for a friend who was having a baby. She mentioned that the parents either attended Notre Dame, or followed the sports teams there, so she wanted to tie in the school colors somehow. So I knit her a monkey in navy blue with a gold stripe and cut a little green clover out of felt that I sewed on to the hat. I think this may be my favorite sock monkey hat that I've ever made. (And I've personally probably made between 70-90 of them. I lost count a long time ago!)
Just pick two or three colors and knit the hat up plain. It's a nicely-fitting hat (as long as you use appropriately-sized yarn & needles that allow you to get gauge!) and is very wearable by people of all ages when done up this way!
I love this next example for girls of any age. It's from Kelly again...you probably suspected since it has her signature curly ties. :) She knit the hat up with stripes and did a double layer for warmth just around the ears & forehead area, then did this darling dragonfly (it's a combination of knitting & crochet) as a decorative touch. I would totally wear that.
I completely missed the Owl Bandwagon, but Cathy from Kansas figured out a way to transform a monkey hat into an owl hat! She crocheted big owl eyes and knitted a little beak to put together for this little face. Then she used two colors to jazz up the pom pom and the ties. What a hoot! :)
Until I sat down to write this post, the lion hat that Jean had posted on my Facebook page had slipped my mind, and since I forgot to ask for her permission to steal the picture for the blog, I thought I'd like you to the Facebook picture instead. Behold, Jean's Little Lion Hat!
If I was giving out prizes though, I'd have to give it up to Kelly, because, honestly, can you even believe that this Eeyore hat is even loosely based on the sock monkey hat? I'm sure it took a couple tries to figure out how to get those ears exactly the right shape, and can you believe how perfect all the other features are? Those droopy, sad eyes? The little shock of black hair? Even the way she stitched right down the middle of the face is spot on. She even figured out a way to incorporate Eeyore's little tail into a hat pattern. Brilliant. I would have suggested she publish it as a separate pattern if it weren't for that whole "selling things based on other people's copyrighted characters" thing. So, I'm sorry to be the meanie that is dangling something in front of you that doesn't have a written pattern. But, it just goes to show what a knitter can do with a basic pattern and a little ingenuity!

Tonia Ivie, Secretary, Spanish Oaks Elementary
Nominated by: Kali Brown
"Mrs. Ivie interacts with our students, faculty, staff, and school community each day in a respectful and welcoming manner. She is genuinely happy to see each person that comes through our doors. Mrs. Ivie asks about their family and takes an interest in their lives. She makes everyone feel wanted, valued, connected, and welcome.

Tonia is willing to do anything for anyone at any time! She is the most positive, willing, respectful, kind, happy, and pleasant person in the world. She makes coming to work an absolute delight every day!"
Dixie Dalton, Technician, Orchard Hills Elementary
Nominated by: Patti Erickson
"Dixie Dalton has been helping children at Orchard Hills for seven years. She is technically our school's skills room monitor, but she is more than that and wears many hats. Dixie helps students at recess if they are hurt. She gives insulin shots and helps check blood sugar. She always smiles and welcomes kids to the skills room. Dixie is the first person to say, 'How can I help you?' or 'You bet I can - no problem.' Dixie works hard to address our homeless students' needs and always focuses on the positive.
Dixie wants to always do her best to ensure that students are getting the help, attention, and care they deserve. Orchard Hills is so lucky to have her as one our heroes!"
Kenneth N. Shaw, Building Technician, Spring Lake Elementary
Nominated by: Necia Albrecht & Teresa Jordan
"Mr. Shaw retired from the business world and decided to spend a few hours each day helping at his neighborhood school. The students and teachers love, love, love Mr. Shaw. We are so blessed to have him at Spring Lake. He starts his day greeting students as they walk in the front door. Mr. Shaw is so happy, positive, friendly, and calls everyone by name. He helps with morning and lunch supervision and organizes games and activities to keep students involved and engaged. Mr. Shaw is always watching out for students who are alone, looking for a friend, or those who might need a little nudge getting involved. He has established connections with multiple students who suffer from anxiety or may be struggling in other ways. If Mr. Shaw isn't helping a student in skills, he goes next door and gives kids one-on-one help in our K-3 resource classrooms. He has such a desire to help our students be successful and goes above and beyond his 'job description' every single day. Every school needs a Mr. Shaw!"
Kim Larsen, Teacher, Art City Elementary
Nominated by: Mandie Peterson
"As a fellow employee and as a mother, I find Kim Larsen exceptional. She worked tirelessly with my son. Kim made efforts to contact and work with me as a parent. She has gone above and beyond to use different learning styles and make sure all kids feel welcome. My son has always struggled in school and still struggles this year. But, he knows that his teacher cares about him.
"In my teaching role, Kim encourages me to do my best each day. I want to be the teacher that a mom wants to send her kids to. Kim is an amazing example of good teaching and that makes me want to live and work where good teachers are!"
Shelly S. Smith, Reading Technician, Hobble Creek Elementary
Nominated by: Michael Johnson

Chelsie Young, Teacher, Landmark High
Nominated by: Sue Ann Harding
"Chelsie focuses on student behavior in her classroom. When the basic classroom interventions were not enough, she researched various interventions and strategies to improve student behavior. Chelsie created a tracking system to identify students who were causing the most distractions. She shared her strategies with other teachers who also began to track student behavior. Chelsie leads our school in collaboration where we discuss best practices in working with students, parents, classroom management, and unique culture challenges that we face at an alternative high school. Chelsie listens to teachers' concerns and identifies areas that our entire faculty can benefit from. These discussions and trainings have led to a more cohesive culture in our school."
This initiative is designed to focus on "raising the bar" on providing exceptional customer service, both internally and externally. A key component of this initiative is the development of the PEAK Award. The PEAK (Positive Energy and Kindness) Award is presented monthly to someone in the Nebo School District who "really gets it" when it comes to providing exceptional customer service, which in turn results in positive impacts on everyone including students, parents, co-workers and members of the community.
Who Gets Nominated?

The directions as to how to nominate an employee for the PEAK Awards are clearly spelled out on the site.

Why Broccoli
Why do we make our bread out of broccoli ?
Bread is such a brilliant product. It's pretty much the oldest surviving foodstuff in history (preceded only by beer). Every culture seems to have it's own version – be it Middle Eastern flat bread, Indian naan, Italian ciabatta or a traditional loaf.
All of these have a similar base to them with flour (almost always wheat flour) at the core of the recipe.
The flour (read wheat flour in the vast majority of cases) contributes almost pure carbohydrate which digests very quickly to glucose. The amount and speed of glucose it gives us and the lack of nutrients in the raw ingredients means that bread is at best neutral for our health. In many cases people do feel bloated, have sugar crashes and struggle to maintain or lose weight when eating a lot of it.
So let's take a product that we all enjoy but make it incredibly healthy…

My little trip from Iasi to Cluj, by the numbers:
Miles driven: 250
Hours it took to drive those miles: Eight
Average speed through the mountains: 60km/hour (37 miles/hour)Cows almost hit: One
Times stopped by the police for "speeding": One
Pedestrians almost hit: Six (Or maybe it was sixteen)
One-way streets driven down in the wrong direction: Zero (A BIG deal considering the number of them in Cluj and our complete inability to figure out where we were supposed to be)
Random men who tried to open the driver's side door to yell at us for stopping in the middle of the pedestrian crosswalk: One
Neon (and I mean neon) orange houses seen: One (Gosh I regret not stopping to take a photo)
Castles seen: Zero (Strange to me, considering we drove through Transylvania)
Hours spent in Cluj: Nineteen (8 of which were sleeping)
That sums it up. No pun intended. Once I return to Iasi and upload photos, I will share about my brief exploration of Cluj and what I learned about the other side of Romania. And just how cool it is to see a street whose buildings lining it are symmetrical. Get excited.

Proclaiming an emotive wellness message, it's sufficient to cause you to think twice before adding warmth to your meals. But fear not on the scales of wellbeing, there's not much to tip the balance in either way.
Raw food advocates assert cooking foods destroys the enzymes and enzymes which could otherwise give us optimum wellness and control body fat.
A raw food diet is almost completely fermented and contains fruits, veggies, seeds, nuts, grains, vegetable juices and oils within their organic raw state.
On the other hand, there's excellent virtue in this kind of diet. If you're now eating lots of processed foods, then switching into raw food is going to be a clear nutrient supplement win.
It is 100% right that cooking is going to do this. But so also does digestion. lincahpoker99.com
Where there's little kernel of truth to uncooked food asserts is that the nutrient loses out of cooking. Nevertheless this is a very clear instance of being alert, not alarmed.
The United States Department of Agriculture has compiled a thorough table of nutrient reductions for 16 eight and vitamins minerals in 290 foods with an assortment of cooking techniques. For anybody overtly fixated on precisely what percentage of nourishment they're losing when they cook meals, this is the best source you'll discover.
A fast glance at the table reveals that many minerals are untouched.
Slimming Vitamin C, thiamin and folate from leafy veggies is readily offset by eating foods which are high in these nutritional supplements and aren't usually cooked further.
Placing nutrient losses from ingesting in circumstance, just storing vegetables and fruits for many days means a slow loss of vitamin C. Fresh will always be best, but frozen veggies are certainly an choice to consider since they're blanched and frozen quite soon after choosing, effectively "locking in" their nourishment for weeks.
Great Nutrition
Food though is a whole lot greater than only the vital minerals and vitamins. There are dozens and dozens of bioactive substances found in plant foods which have favourable health advantages. They could function as antioxidant and anti inflammatory agents and also have anti-cancer and antibacterial functions too.
Cooking losses of those nutrients is deemed modest; in several scenarios, cooking may actually raise the amount of a few of those substances.
Various studies have revealed the valuable antioxidant, lycopene, by way of instance, is considerably greater in cooked tomatoes compared to raw tomatoes. Including a little olive oil raises absorption much more.
The 3 keys have been water, time and temperature. If it's possible, steam instead of boil because this cuts down to nutrient leeching.
Maintain the dimensions of vegetable bits as big as possible to minimise oxidation reductions. And do not overcook foodyou need your broccoli company and green, not wilted and whitened.
Deciding upon a completely raw-food diet could possibly set someone in a little drawback. When you exclude foods that are cooked, you exclude lots of wholesome foods, and the nutritional supplement diversity of your daily diet narrows.
Pick out the nutrient powerhouses legumes and lentils. Once cooked, they are a basis to super-healthy vegetarian, Mediterranean and Japanese foods.
Cooking may also destroy a few of the anti-nutrients found in foods which bind minerals from the intestine and hinder absorption. And the elephant in the area when it comes to cooking isn't exactly what it adds, however exactly what it requires away. Cooking meals in 75°C or milder will destroy most bacteria which causes food poisoning.
Unquestionably, there are lots of advantages to eating lots of vegetables and fruits. These foods are packed with nutrients and fiber and low in kilojoules. However, is uncooked exceptional to cooked? An overview of 28 research studies unearthed that drinkers of cooked and raw vegetables had a reduced risk of cancer than the individuals who didn't eat many veggies in the first location.
A focus on eating mainly plants is indisputably great, be they cooked or raw.

Health and Livelihoods at Risk for Half of all Hairdressers
Skin Care for Barbers and Hairdressers
Nearly half of Britain's hairdressers are suffering a debilitating skin disease because safety rules are flouted, it was claimed today.
Around 50,000 hairdressers and barbers are estimated to suffer dermatitis, caused by regular exposure to shampoos, soaps and peroxides. The painful and sometimes irreversible condition - which causes the skin to swell, blister, flake and crack - has forced some hairdressers to seek different jobs.
The figures were released by the Local Government Association, which is pledging "tough action" against salon bosses who do not enforce safety precautions, such as the wearing of gloves during "wet work".
Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, chairman of the Local Authorities Co-ordinators of Regulatory Services (LACORS), said: "Hairdressers and other professionals at risk from skin disease have every right to work in a safe and healthy environment.
"Tough action will be taken against employers and businesses who fail to comply with health and safety standards. Dermatitis can be irreversible and because of the widespread nature of the condition, it is often incorrectly regarded as an acceptable occupational hazard. It isn't."
A spokeswoman for the British Skin Foundation, commented: "Education is key as it's important that hairdressers know how to protect themselves, what to look out for and what to do if they develop a skin problem.
"Preventative measures include protective clothing and use of emollient creams. Making sure chemicals are used in accordance with manufacturers' guidelines is also crucial."

In the crowd, your flushed, expectant
