Tucson Map: Tucson is a city positioned in Arizona, United States. It is correspondingly home to the University of Arizona. The populace count was 520,116 when the 2010 United States Census was directed and the projected populace of Tucson metropolitan statistical area was 980,263 according to the 2015 United States Census.
Tucson's conurbations include Oro Valley and Marana northwest of the town, Sahuarita south of the town, and South Tucson in a southern downtown enclaved.
The Paleo-Indians stayed in the city of Tucson, who were also recognized to have stayed in Southern Arizona about 12,0000 years ago. A village location courting from 2100 BC was originated near the Santa Cruz River by the current archaeological excavations.
The Santa Cruz floodplain was widely farmed throughout the Early Agricultural Period, approximately 1200 BC to 150 AD. In 1877, a rash of stagecoach robberies was observed by Tucson's extent. Masked road-agent William Whitney Brazelton devoted the two holdups.
In 1878, in the summer near Point of Mountain Station, 27 km southwest of Tucson, he also held two phases. The Earp-Clanton Tragedy, where Morgan Earp was shot seriously, took place in 1882.

Whether you have a senior dog or a small dog that needs assistance getting up and down from the couch or bed, at some point you may need to consider a ramp. As a Certified Vet Technician and proud pet parent to two Doxies, I've seen a lot of dogs with disc disease (including Bruiser, my almost 14-year-old Doxie) and ramps, in this case, aren't optional. They're a necessity to daily life.
Most dogs don't want to rely on their pet parent's help when it comes to getting on and off of the couch, and the ramps reviewed in this article appear sturdy enough that owners can cross this concern off their list. (This is a major concern for me when I leave the house.)
With that in mind, there are the factors that make a solid dog ramp.
What Makes a Good Dog Ramp
- Replacement covers: Whether or not these are available is key.
- Assembly: Many ramps come in several pieces that you can put together like puzzles to create the perfect ramp for your home. However, do you want a sectional? The ramps I reviewed work fine in two pieces but consider what's best for your dog.
- Incline: Ramps with a reasonable incline are encouraged by veterinarians and many recommend the various features to look for when it comes to buying ramps.
- Rubber grips: Grips are another important feature called out with ramps that lie flat.
- Do you have a color preference? Oyster brown is a color that matches my furniture so a ramp that blends in with the couch and ottoman was also important to me.
Consider these points before buying a ramp or pet stairs. And even though we haven't touched on pet stairs, a lot of what we've talked about here applies!
Solvit Wood Bedside Ramp
The top landing area is generously sized, so your pet will feel confident moving to and from the bed, and the 25-inch height allows easy access to taller beds. Here's one helpful review.
- Long enough with a gentle climbing angle
- A ribbed carpet walking surface
- Real wood and rich cherry finish
- Recommended for any size pet up to 120 lbs
- Some folks that tried the ramp thought the carpet was too slippery!
Royal Ramps
These are the ramps I have in my home for all three of my hounds. My fave feature is the foam that sits flush to the floor. A popular pet blogger enjoys this brand too and here's her review.
- It's foam! The high-density foam pet ramp makes it super easy for smaller dogs to get up and down from the couch
- It's wide enough, sturdy, uses non-slip fabric and can easily be moved from chair to ottoman and upstairs to the bed.
- They may not be sturdy enough for extra-large dogs
- Depending on the size you need, you might end up spending $150 or more
The Indoor-Carpet Mini Ramp from Gen7Pets
This ramp is lightweight which many people really liked since so many pet parents move these from the car to the couch. One helpful review mentions that the carpet has enough grip for their dog.
- Maximum weight is 200 lbs. so really large dogs can use these
- Safe grip carpet tread
- Folds flat for compact storage which is super unique
- Automatically locks when folded for safety
- Soft rubber handle grip
- The problem that many people had with this ramp is that it is too short for their bed
These three ramps could remove a lot of anxiety if your dog typically jumps to the floor without warning. (This happens in my household about three times an hour.) Good luck with your search!

Developing an integrated research for development strategy for CCAFS East Africa.
We cannot conduct business as usual and expect to transform Africa's agriculture, especially in this era of increasing climate variability and change." Dawit Solomon, Regional Program Leader, CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS) East Africa.
Dawit Solomon made this remark during the CCAFS East Africa Strategy Meeting held in Arusha, Tanzania between 8 and 9 February 2018. The meeting brought together 65 stakeholders comprising of researchers, regional policymakers, experts from governments, private sector, multilateral international organizations and NGOs from East Africa and around the world to develop an integrated research for development strategy for CCAFS East Africa. Through a range of participatory and interactive approaches, the stakeholders examined the interactions, synergies and trade-offs between climate change, agriculture, and food nutrition and security, highlighting new opportunities to advance climate-resilient and low emissions agriculture, reduce vulnerability, and enhance nutrition and diversify smallholder incomes in East Africa, integrating gender and social inclusion.
National, regional and continental priorities
In order to ensure demand-driven research for development aligned with national, regional and global priorities, the meeting started off with a panel discussion comprising of policymakers from the four CCAFS focus countries in East Africa— Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania—and representatives from the African Group of Negotiators to give a regional and continental perspective. The panel discussion focused on climate change-related challenges and opportunities for each country and identified entry points for CGIAR and specifically for CCAFS including opportunities for collaboration. George Wamukoya of VUNA and a member of the African Group of Negotiators (AGN) moderated the discussion and the panelists included:
- Debasu Bayleygn Eyasu – Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Ethiopia
- Robin Mbae – Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Kenya
- Stephen Muwaya – Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Industry and Fisheries, Uganda
- Mponda Malozo – Ministry of Agriculture, Food Security and Cooperatives, Tanzania
- Raymond Kasei – Representing the African Group of Negotiators
Key challenges emerging across the region include low agricultural productivity, increase in pest and disease incidences, post-harvest losses and low uptake of technologies. Proposed priority areas for CCAFS and CGIAR support included:
- Developing monitoring and evaluation indicators for measuring agricultural resilience;
- Data to inform the implementation of nationally determined contributions (NDCs);
- Implementation of the CSA strategies and frameworks developed in different countries including providing evidence on successful CSA practices and technologies for up scaling;
- Input into national Medium Term Plans;
- Climate finance and insurance;
- Information services and capacity building for researchers and policymakers in East Africa.
What role can science play?
With increasing climate variability and change, the scientific community has an essential role to play in informing synchronized, strategic investments to establish climate-resilient agricultural production systems, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, make efficient use of resources and ensure food nutrition and security. During the meeting, scientists from different CGIAR centers shared ongoing work on climate change adaptation and mitigation in East. These included:
- Peter Craufurd of CIMMYT shared how the Taking Maize Agronomy to Scale in Africa (TAMASA) initiative is applying technology to increase knowledge delivery through smartphone.
- Polly Ericksen spoke on the work ILRI is doing under the program on climate-smart livestock which seeks to provide scientific evidence to livestock stakeholders. This is especially critical to inform countries as they implement their Nationally Determined Contributions.
- Evan Girvetz of CIAT highlighted various initiatives on CSA, including the application of CCAFS science to de-risk agriculture to improve access to credit for smallholder farmers, business models for scaling CSA and technical support to guide large investments in CSA.
- Todd Rosenstock shared some of the on-going climate change related project at ICRAF which focus on climate-smart value chains including access to credit, climate-smart agroforestry and multi-scale co-learning processes to scale up climate-smart options.
- Laurence Jassogne shared how IITA is supporting the development and implementation of policies on climate change adaptation and mitigation, including an example from the coffee sector.
- Rosa Maria Roman-Cuesta of CIFOR demonstrated how a landscape approach can be used to manage trade-offs between social and ecological impacts including landscape restoration through integrated landscape management practices.
- Carlo Fadda of Bioversity spoke about community seed banking initiatives in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Uganda including seed trade within the region.
Emerging innovative research areas
To further support the scientific input, six presentations were shared by thematic speakers on emerging areas for research and development. The themes included climate services, climate finance, linking mitigation science and policy, the role of decision support tools and the role of the youth. Specific topics covered included:
- Improving availability, access, and use of climate information and ICT-based agro-advisory in East Africa, Jim Hansen – IRI, Columbia University, USA.
- Bringing East African countries together to find ways to grow more food without increasing greenhouse gas emissions, Hayden Montgomery – the Global Research Alliance on Agricultural Greenhouse Gases.
- Making climate finance work for agriculture in East Africa, Alberto Millan – World Bank's Global Food and Agriculture Practice (GFADR).
- Implementing innovative/transformative adaptation and mitigation science and policy measures for East Africa agriculture, Andreas Wilkes – UNIQUE forestry and land use, Germany.
- Applying interactive decision support tools to understand how climate change and natural disasters impact agriculture, food security and livelihoods in East Africa, Travis Franck – Climate Interactive.
- Transformation of East African Agriculture with ICT-based digital solutions and the youth, Romano Kiome – ILRI.
See the presentations:
New CSA projects launched in East Africa
In terms of investments, moving forward, Bruce Campbell, director of CCAFS pointed out that 4 million dollars will be invested annually in the 4 CCAFS focus countries. "Yearly, about 20 million dollars is raised by the programme for climate-smart agriculture projects for all the five regions in the world, including Africa," he added during the media interview held at the strategy meeting.
The CCAFS strategy meeting was held back to back with the kick-off meeting of the Food & Business GCP4 projects which took place on 6 – 7 February. The eight research projects funded in the fourth Global Challenges Programme call will be implemented in East Africa beginning 2018, and focus on how to scale climate-smart agriculture practices in East Africa. The new projects will contribute to the achievement of the regional strategy for development.

After-Schools Programme Assistant
Balally Family Resource Centre
- Community
- Dublin
This year the Fair was organised for the first time by the Office of the Assistant Registrar in conjunction with Kerry Volunteer Centre, the IT Tralee Students' Union and the IT Tralee Societies Office. With 20 organisations in attendance, students were offered a wide range of volunteering opportunities both locally and nationally.
Organisations from across Kerry and further afield were offered a chance to meet each other and network at a breakfast event in the Sólás building. They then set up in the Business, Information Technology Building from 10.30am, allowing students to visit the stands on their way to class and at lunch time. There was a great buzz on campus throughout the day as it was the last day of Raise and Give Week (RAG) and this really added to the atmosphere.
There was a great mix of organisations on the day such as Kerry Hospice , BUMBLEance, Kerry Sustainable Energy Co-op, DeafHear, Clean Coasts Coastal Programmes, Tralee Community, Spina Bifida Hydrocephalus Cork/Kerry Responders, Kerry Volunteer Centre, Enable Ireland, Tralee Coder Dojo, Oesophageal Cancer Fund as well as a stand promoting StudentVolunteer.ie and the IT Tralee President's Civic Spirit Award.
All of the stands received many visitors throughout the day. At lunchtime the Clean Coasts Roadshow gave a number of talks including : 'Clean Coasts: What it's all about…', guest speaker Mike O'Neill from Fenit Development Association & Clean Coasts Group discussing Community Engagement and Louise Overy (IT Tralee Graduate) from Dingle Aquarium discussing Jellyfish Identification - what to look out for!. These talks were very informative and inspiring drawing attendance from students and staff from both campuses. With so many beaches within a few minutes' drive from IT Tralee the importance of keeping our coasts clean and safe resonated, and the Institute is now working towards becoming a recognised Green Campus.
Our StudentVolunteer.ie stand was very busy all day with students registering and finding out more about the volunteering opportunities on offer.
We also ran a Snapchat story on the Institute's Snapchat throughout the day which proved very popular.
With so many students getting involved this year and such a great atmosphere on campus we can't wait for IT Tralee Volunteer Fair 2018!
StudentVolunteer.ie enables students to have the opportunity to: enrich your personal development and employability skills, have a fun experience, meet new people, and give back to your community. Sign up now.Register Now

Our list, our people, our get-togethers - we're thinking about others at Christmas, right? Or are we?
With this season being so painful for so many walking wounded, I think we need some new glasses. Glasses that will show us those who are maybe on the fringes of our world - the struggling single parent, the friend whose parent doesn't remember them, the co-worker with cancer, the teenager in the drive-thru window, the one smiling hiding a broken heart.
A simple note, meal, coffee, offer to babysit, gift, smile, cupcake, or chocolate might be just what they need to know they're not alone, and to encourage them.
You know...there's One who always wears these glasses, who sees our hidden hurts, and who "is close to the brokenhearted" (Psalm 34:18).
He made you, loves you, and died for all the junk in our lives, so we could have hope! And maybe hope is what you desperately need this Christmas.
Let's talk about this relationship at 888-NEED-HIM or ChatAboutJesus.com.

It was Friday a few days ago and that was great, because it meant that the whole weekend was ahead of us. Saturday was a blast, but then Sunday came along. And no matter how good Sunday is, it always means that Monday's just around the corner.
And here we are. Monday. The whole week stretching before us like a… big stretching thing.
But let's be positive. Let's think #MondayMotivation, and face the rest of the week like a boss.
We've given you some top #MondayMotivation advice in the past, including a guide for caffeine-lovers and some apps to organise your week. This week we're taking things up a notch, with an app that promises to get you motivated and help you achieve your goals with a nice, simple premise. You stay motivated, or you pay up. Welcome to Beeminder…
Okay, as the nice lady above explained, Beeminder lets you set any goal that you can think of that can be tracked with a graph. So it could be losing weight, giving up smoking, cutting down on alcohol for a few months… whatever you want.
Beeminder then plots your progress on its 'Yellow Brick Road' to your goal. To help Beeminder track your progress, you either give it info manually, or can connect it to the likes of Fitbit, Garmin or Runkeeper to send data automatically.
If you stick to the 'Yellow Brick Road' and progress as planned towards achieving your goal, then Beeminder will always be free. But if you don't, then here comes the sting…
To be honest, Beeminder doesn't have all that much of a sting in its tail – at least not initially. It's not going to suddenly take you by surprise and demand some cash because you treated yourself to a curry last Friday night.
In fact, if you do veer off the 'Yellow Brick Road' (that means straying from your goal, in case you weren't paying attention), you can simply abandon your goal and walk away from Beeminder. No questions asked.
You can actually create multiple goals like this, with absolutely nothing at stake initially.
However. If you're passionate about the goal and want to try again, you can get back on the road. It's at this point that you need to commit to paying something if you stray a second time. The amount you can pay starts at $5, or the equivalent amount in pounds.
The idea of voluntarily paying money to someone you don't know for not doing something they don't know you didn't do (trust us, that actually made sense) might sound strange, but Beeminder's philosophy is this - if you're the type of person to try and get out of paying what you pledged, then you wouldn't have signed up in the first place.
The Beeminder app is free to download on iOS or Android. You can also check out the Beeminder website for more info.
Over to you. Are you convinced by what you've read above? Could you see yourself signing up to something like Beeminder to help you achieve your goals, or is the fear of losing cash a step too far? Share your comments below.

May a private entity running a public access channel ban speakers based on the content of their speech—something a government entity running the same channels could not do? Yes, the Supreme Court held in a 5-4 opinion in Manhattan Community Access Corporation v. Halleck. Why? Because the First Amendment doesn't apply to private entities in this instance.
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984 authorizes states and local governments to require cable operators to set aside channels on their cable systems for public access. Under New York law the cable operator operates the public access channels unless the local government chooses to do so or designates a private entity to do so.
New York City designated a private nonprofit, Manhattan Neighborhood Network (MNN), to operate the public access channels in Manhattan. MNN suspended two producers from its facilities and services after MNN ran a film they produced about MNN's alleged neglect of the East Harlem community. The producers claimed MNN violated their First Amendment free speech rights when it "restricted their access to the public access channels because of the content of their film."

Gov. Bill Haslam is open to the idea of letting for-profit companies manage public charter schools in Tennessee.
Currently, charter schools in the state can only contract with non-profit school operators, but a bill working its way through the Tennessee Legislature would remove that restriction.
Speaking to reporters Monday, Haslam said he thinks "the idea has some merit."
"There are some really good for-profit charter operators," said the Republican governor. "And if they can come in and do that in an effective way for school systems, they should be considered."
According to a report from Nashville Public Radio, the legislation is the result of lobbying by National Heritage Academies, a for-profit organization based in Michigan that operates 74 charter schools in nine states.
The proposal, carried in the Senate by Chattanooga Republican Todd Gardenhire, appeared doomed earlier in the session after it failed two separate votes in the upper chamber's Education Committee. But after tacking on the same language as an amendment to a much larger, more innocuous bill, Education Committee Chairman Dolores Gresham, R-Somerville, managed to shepherd it through to the Senate floor.
The House version of the bill, sponsored by Knoxville Republican Harry Brooks, is set to go before the Finance, Ways & Means Committee Wednesday.

With its avant-R&B vibe and velvety vocal delivery, 'Diamond Inseams' is the most affecting electronic-tinged tune to land in our inbox for a little while.
LA-via-Brooklyn man Alge (AKA Jon Weinman) is an emotive force throughout, recalling Sean Nicholas Savage and even MJ with his reedy and syrupy performance on the mic.
As well as some soul-baring lyrics, the title track from Alge's recent EP also has a proggy, experimental feel – imagine Usher's '8701' if it was given an off-kilter makeover by Chet Faker and you're pretty close.

Well, I stitched away on "Ornaments ala Round" and when I got to the long skinny one at "9 o'clock" on the wheel, it was one row too close to the one below it. Now, with all the frogging I have done to make SURE everything was placed correctly, I have a massive mistake I can't locate. Which means I will HAVE to fudge those evergreen branches unless I want to rip out all the way to the beginning. AAARGH! So, I stalled out. It's pretty clear I'm not going to get this done in time for the fair (way too much left to stitch on it, the fair is the first of August, sign-up is usually in June sometime, and it will need to be framed as well).
Here is where I stalled:

It's one thing to have a mistake, but then, to not be able to find it - been there, done that, but at least, in most of my cases, I have the ability to just fudge all the way across (Teresa Wentzler's are very fudge-forgiving :) ) Put it down, let it think about what its done, and when it comes out of time-out, it'll be clear. Er. Maybe :)

WICHITA — Most teams believe they've improved since the early portion of the high school basketball season. The Salina South girls keep presenting hard evidence.
For the second time in the last three weeks the Cougars were able to avenge a December loss, this time picking up an Ark Valley Chisholm Trail League road victory, 36-21 over Campus on Tuesday night.
The Cougars, who lost 37-29 in their season opener to Campus, never trailed and never had their lead threatened in the second half.
"We just got done beating two teams that beat us earlier this season," South senior Camdyn Schreiber said. "We're making a lot of progress and playing way different than we were at the beginning of the season."
Although the Cougar offense struggled at times, the defense didn't let up, even after South built a 15-point lead minutes into the second quarter.
"The season opener, considering where we are sitting in February, seems like a long time ago," South coach Ryan Stuart said. "We're a much different basketball team now.
"The key was to get off to a good start. We game them a different look in our full-court pressure and we were able to speed them up."
South (5-9 overall, 2-5 AVCTL) got eight points from Schreiber while building a 16-4 lead in the opening quarter. A second-chance Schreiber basket and a 3-pointer from Lauren Raubenstine had the Cougars up 21-6 with 5:23 to play before halftime.
"We had to start out strong and didn't want them to ever get a lead," Schreiber said. "Then the defense was really important and we had to box out."
After the Raubenstine 3-pointer, the Cougars went more than eight-and-a-half minutes before scoring their next point. Despite that scoring drought, when Gretchen Cox converted a transition layup with 4:40 to play in the third, South was still up 23-11.
Cox had all five South points in the third quarter, but the Cougars went another seven minutes without scoring. Campus (3-12, 1-7) was never closer than nine points in the second half, with South getting back-to-back Schreiber baskets and a bucket from Cox to lead 32-19 with two minutes remaining.
"Both teams were kind of grinding on the offensive end," Stuart said. "But our defense was awesome.
"Other than the fast start, our two keys were to keep them out of the paint and we had to rebound. If we kept it close to even on the boards, we liked our chances."
Schreiber finished with 18 points and Cox had nine to lead the Cougars. South finished with a 31-27 edge in rebounding.
Campus boys 76, South 57
South did everything it needed to do to stay with Campus into the early portion of the second half. Once the Colts got on a roll, they built a nice lead and kept the Cougars at a comfortable distance.
"They are tough to guard," South coach Jason Hooper said. "They can beat you on the dribble and when they shoot like that, you've got to pick your poison.
"You've got to give them a lot of credit for the way they shot it."
South trailed 34-29 at halftime but got baskets from Colin Schreiber and Elex Banks to open the second half, cutting the deficit to one.
Campus (12-3, 7-1) scored 17 unanswered points over the next 10 possessions, making 7-of-8 shots from the field in that stretch to lead 51-33.
"I felt like offensively we came out and executed our first few possessions pretty well," Hooper said. "Then we got caught up in some one-on-one stuff and taking some poor shots, and that led to some easy baskets for them."
South (6-9, 2-6) scored the final six points of the third quarter and trailed 51-39 to start the fourth. The Colts scored on six of their first seven possessions in the final period to extend their lead to 64-47.
Banks finished with 15 points, Josh Jordan came off the bench to score 13 and Schreiber added 10.
South sophomore A.J. Johnson, among the team leaders in scoring and rebounding, injured his left ankle late in the first quarter and did not return. The starting forward left the court using crutches at halftime and his status for Friday's game against Salina Central is questionable.

At the hub of Filipino business activities in the United States is the Federation of Philippine American Chambers of Commerce Inc., an organization established to mobilize Philippine business communities in the U.S.
Heading the Federation as President is Phoenix, Arizona based industrialist Marie Cunning, a luminary in business and civic leadership – well respected among the Filipino-American diaspora of the American Southwest and admired for her guiding influence in mainstream American economic and political empowerment arenas. Likewise, under the guiding light of its founding president Berkeley-based Dr. Yolanda Ortega Stern, a graceful and striking woman from beautiful Zamboanga City in the Mindanao region of the Philippines, the federation is poised to bring its considerable national presence in the U.S.A. to a new level of collaboration with Philippine Trade and Industry. "I am proud of our record of achievements and close working relationship with the Philippines," remarked Dr. Stern at a recent breakfast meeting in Manila.
Today, the Federation is successfully united and headquartered in California and boasts a national network with over 25 chapters and over 5,000 companies. With the federation leadership composed of top Filipino-American business leaders from all over the U.S.A, it has forged strong relationships between private and public sector entities in the U.S. and in the Philippines. The federation, in its 20 years of existence, has signed major memorandums of Agreement between US-SBA and in the Philippines with TESDA; PCCI; PACCI; Philexport; ECOP; PTA; CFO; and NYC. The federation has also collaborated with PCCI and PUBC for trade conferences and trade visits on both sides of the Pacific.
An honorary ambassador of California, Dr. Yolanda Ortega-Stern has been appointed Honorary Investment and Trade representative by DTI as well as representative of PCCI. With over 40 years of experience in international trade and civic works, Dr. Yolanda O. Stern continues to be an ambassador of goodwill – bridging coalitions for mutual benefits.
"We are a contributing force to American society." says Mrs. Stern. "We continue to lay our foundations brick by brick as we invite the U.S. corporations to join hands with us as lay ambassadors and facilitators of economic goodwill between the United States and the Philippines.
President Marie Cunning, agrees. "In our continuing effort to bridge international trade between the U.S.A. and Philippines, it is important to remember that success is a group effort. It is hard work, perseverance and sacrifice. All of this can be achieved with the right leadership and guidance. The FPACC in the next two years hopes to be able to lead your businesses into a myriad of success stories and groundbreaking milestones and hopefully in so doing, we can also leave a legacy to all aspiring entrepreneurs and up and coming business moguls".
The Federation of Philippine American Chambers of Commerce (FPACC) promotes and advocates strong entrepreneurial foundation for Filipino American business community and its partners; creates economic bridges on trade and commerce between Philippines

Can creativity be tutored? While the creative attributes of a person are largely determined by personality attributes developed and set in our formative years, it's also possible to strengthen creativity through long-term practice. Moreover, genes determine only 10% of the capacity for creative potential, a Science Direct study reveals. So, it's definitely possible to help your students free up their creative juices by teaching them effective and practical techniques. Here are a few ways you can foster creativity in your students.
Strengthen their industry knowledge
No matter the industry, your student's ability to think creatively relies heavily on the level of their expertise. While you may assume that having too much knowledge can actually hinder the creative process, this is only true to an extent. Going into the creative process knowing too much can be distracting and restrict inspiration and innovation. However, successful creative work ultimately relies on your students having a strong foundation of relevant knowledge to draw upon. Therefore, strengthening your student's knowledge in the relevant subject area will in turn help them to be more creative in their field.
Teach drawing
Practicing drawing can boost creativity— even in the business world. It's been proven to help people better retain information, sharpen attention span, and free up both short-term and long-term memory. It also increases creative capacity by getting the mind to unexpectedly engage in a visual — rather than written — medium for a change. You can even teach your students specific exercises for the purpose of fostering creativity at work. For example, ask your students to draw two separate and disparate objects. Then get them to draw several pictures of these objects merged together. This simple technique can get your students thinking about business problems from new angles they wouldn't otherwise consider.
Teach creative thinking skills
One study identified numerous creative thinking skills that can effectively boost creative performance. These include teaching your student to take on difficult challenges they may typically avoid, broaden their knowledge beyond their current main subject area, seek out new stimuli (such as, reading non-fiction books or talking to new people), and accurately capturing new ideas as they occur. Encouraging your students to think differently can revitalize their minds and help them come up with novel ideas. As a tutor, it's your job to provide your students with plenty of encouraging and constructive feedback. Even this can help boost their confidence in their creative abilities, so they're more likely to actually be creative at work. With these effective tips, it's possible to improve creativity and innovative thinking in your students.

James Rogers spent years studying flexible solar cells, excelling at UC Santa Barbara's esteemed Technology Management Program, and conducting research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. For his Ph.D research, he won the prestigious 2012 Frank J. Padden Jr. Award for polymer physics.
At the culmination of all that, Rogers concluded that flexible solar cell systems were very difficult to understand. Fortunately, around the same time, serendipity struck.
"Spoiled produce kept coming to mind," Rogers recalls.
On one of his long drives from UC Santa Barbara to Berkeley Lab, listening to a radio program on world hunger while driving past fertile farmland, the materials scientist had his "aha!" moment.
"We weren't actually having trouble growing fresh produce," he later blogged. "The problem was storing it after it was harvested."
He turned his intimate knowledge of thin-film polymers from solar cells to the development of an all-natural protective barrier that nearly doubles the shelf life of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Boom. Apeel Sciences was born.

Cooperation Immocenter and Bruges Marine Center
The logical cooperation between ImmoNautic from Spain and Bruges Marine Center (BMC) from Belgium is a fact.
ImmoNautic is part of the ImmoCenter group, one of the most important real estate agents on the Costa Brava in Spain, and specializes in the sale of homes, villas and apartments that are located at the water all with their own private mooring for your boat or yacht . ImmoNautic is mainly active in the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada with locations in the popular resorts such as Empuriabrava, Rosas, Roses-Santa Margarita, Playa de Aro and Calafat. As the majority of their customers also own boats, the link with Bruges Marine Center is quickly established.
After all, Bruges Marine Center is the specialist of RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats), which is the type of boats that are in the lift for open waters such as the Mediterranean Sea or the North Sea.
BMC has several showrooms where there is always a wide range of all kinds of RIBs available, including the top brands Technohull, Capelli, Osprey, Highfield, Solemar, Magazzu, etc etc. All necessary service, from maintenance and storage to boat transport and training, is provided in-house.
A large part of the BMC clientele buys more and more family-oriented family boats that are taken to Spain where they invest in properties at the water with a private mooring.
A collaboration is therefore a logical consequence whereby the offer of available boats from BMC can be found at the branches of Immo Nautic and via BMC one is guided to the supply of properties on the water with its own mooring in the North of Spain.

ILLINOIS- The U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared an agriculture disaster in all 102 Illinois counties Thursday, August 8.
The announcement stems from Gov. J.B. Pritzker's July 3 request for aid for farmers who experienced planting delays, reduction and elimination due to historic flooding and rain.
The Secretarial Disaster Declaration is a recognition of the unprecedented spring planting season Illinois farmers faced and will provide federal resources to aid recovery efforts. Low-interest FSA emergency loans may be used to restore or replace essential property, cover production costs and pay essential family living expenses.

IDEA Health & Fitness Association History
IDEA has always evolved by anticipating the needs of fitness professionals in their educational and career pursuits. The one constant that time will not change is IDEA's mandate to develop and package the most credible and useful continuing education to advance the careers of all fitness pros, no matter what their specialty. From the start in 1982 to today, providing the industry's best professional tools and resources has been the ultimate goal. The result is safe, smart training for people who purchase fitness services as well as professionals who have very high job satisfaction and longevity in their careers.
Active Interest Media—publisher of Yoga Journal, Oxygen, Clean Eating, Vegetarian Times, and over 40 other magazine titles and events across five divisions—provides incredible resources to improve upon what IDEA has always prioritized for fitness pros. Our team is fully immersed in delivering the industry's most significant continuing education and providing tools to help fit pros and clients move toward success.
Like many start-up organizations, our beginnings were humble. We began with the IDEA Letter, which was sent to a membership of 300. Later, the IDEA Foundation (now the American Council on Exercise, or ACE) was established by IDEA co-founders Kathie and Peter Davis to offer the industry's first certification. Soon after, IDEA introduced the industry's first Code of Ethics and the first awards to recognize professional excellence in the fitness field.
Now, 36 years later...
- IDEA Health & Fitness Association communicates with fitness professionals in over 80 countries.
- Our original newsletter has grown into the award-winning IDEA Fitness Journal, the most respected industry publication and education resource for fitness professionals, with a paid subscriber base of nearly 80,000 people.
- Attendance at IDEA's annual World Fitness Convention™ has grown from the original 600 to over 15,000.
- With the launch of IDEA FitnessConnect™ in 2010, IDEA created the largest national industry-wide directory linking over 250,000 U.S. fitness professionals to more than 16 million consumers.
There are so many interesting and memorable markers in IDEA's past. We invite you to learn more about our colorful history by browsing the IDEA Milestone Timeline.
Meet IDEA's Co-Founders Kathie Davis and Peter Davis
Co-founders Kathie and Peter Davis launched IDEA as a grass-roots effort in their spare bedroom with minimal funds and no staff. The couple competed on the tennis team in college and graduated from San Diego State University with degrees in physical education and business, respectively. Upon graduation, Kathie embarked on a journey to pursue her passion and dedicate her life's work to promoting healthy lifestyles. They started IDEA on the strength of one basic premise: that by fostering professionalism in the health and fitness industry, millions of people around the world could live healthier, happier lives. Kathie served as IDEA's executive director and Peter as its CEO for just under 34 years.
After establishing IDEA, the Davis' founded the first formal professional fitness certification organization in 1985, the IDEA Foundation, now known as the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
The Davis' vision for developing innovative continuing education has significantly contributed to the maturation of the fitness industry into a growing, thriving field. Their leadership led to the establishment of the largest annual international fitness education event, IDEA World Convention®, which annually draws over 15,000 fitness professionals from 60 countries to garner the tools they need to change millions of lives around the planet.
Peter and Kathie are no longer involved with IDEA. However, as part of their legacy, they established the IDEA World Scholarships, which will send five recipients who are in financial need to the IDEA World Convention, all expenses paid.
They look forward to continuing their support of the industry for many years to come!

German Immigrants
in American Church Records
The toughest challenge to American family history researches is to find documentation proving an immigrant's hometown. Dr. Minert is attempting to facilitate a solution by sponsoring and supervising a team of students from Brigham Young University who read German church records and collect genealogical data.
Since the initiation of this project in 2003 there have been 28 volumes published and over a hundred students employed.

Audio is not really something that is my key interest or passion, but I have heard from someone who knows, that when it comes to sound editing, or studio recording, reverb is an extremely useful effect to add to a particular line of the track. (By line, I mean singular audio input; multiple audio inputs would obviously come from the different instruments involved). There are other important effects too, that interest sound engineers – here is a list of the most commonly used, but reverb is the most important, since it provides the impression that the instruments are playing somewhere.
Reverb is useful for completely digital music, music recorded in a studio (where the room is designed so that there are no reflections), or some mix of the two.
It is also a fairly lucrative business to get into. ValhallaRoom, one of the leading amateur plugins, has sold hundreds of thousands of copies; and other commercial software of this flavour can cost thousands of dollars per license.
So what is reverb, and how does it work?
Most generally, a room or space will have a characteristic wave equation associated to it: , with particular boundary conditions determined by the geometry. If we apply a forcing term to this equation , then we essentially simulate the addition of sound sources to the room. This is the general situation we wish to solve for; given an input signal (h) what is the audio response (f) ?
It turns out that this problem is soluble, if one introduces the concept of Green's function, which in audio speak / signal processing lingo (for this particular PDE) is also known as the impulse response .
We solve for the equation instead. Various techniques can then be used; separation of variables is probably best from this point, if one observes ; the response of the system to a point source of strength one at location . It is then, with a bit of work, possible to determinate a solution to the above equation; the Green's function solution.
Then, with a bit more work, if we observe that
but , and , which suggests that our solution is
which, with a bit of careful reasoning, can actually be proved to be the case. So our solution is the convolution of the impulse response, , with our input signal, .
WLOG, we can simplify and absorb the boundary and shape information into the metric of the Laplacian, and assume we are within a cubical domain. With a further simplication, the more practical scenario, we can simply consider the ODE
to compute a Green's function for a 'room' with shape parameters A, B, c, and d. Then to return our signal to the listener, we merely compute the convolution of the solution to this with the original input. For more of this flavour, there is actually an impressive series of lecture notes at this location: mi.eng.cam.ac.uk/~rwp/Maths/vid09 , in particular l2notes.pdf .
But can we do more than this? Perhaps, if we allow for nonlinear terms. Or higher order, 'soliton' terms – although I'm not sure that this consideration would be helpful. But whatever the outcome, at the end of the day, we get a system that has tweakable parameters, like ValhallaRoom, above.
So that's all well and good, but what about the general case? What happens if one considers an environment with a very complex spatial geometry indeed? Would it be possible to say create a game environment and experience sound sources from different locations in the scene? This would be an excellent (if not extremely difficult!) project.
Well, it turns out that this work has already been done. Some researchers have managed to implement the full solution of the general wave equation, in a general game environment, like Unity, by precomputing the impulse response (requiring anywhere between hours and many 100s of hours of computer time), to 'bake' in the impulse response so that it can be convolved with sound sources as the player is walking around the scene. Note: 'baking' is also used for other things that would be computationally expensive to do on the fly in-game, such as lighting. Apart from the fact that these folks have a working solution, they also seem to have got around a number of the road blocks that have shortcircuited the practicality of such in the past, such as compressing the size of the data file needed to store the impulse response information for an outdoor scene from about 100 gigabytes down to a few megabytes (maybe using techniques such as fast fourier transforms? as well as simplifying assumptions), and using various tricks to make shifting geometry and movement for audio effects computable on the fly.
In the demonstration video, some really cool effects are demonstrated: diffraction of sound around objects, the characteristic 'double-ring' of a bell in a bell tower caused by sound reflections, muffling or muting of sound caused by obstacles being in the way, and more! It is very, very cool. If such a technology was available for Unity as a plugin/asset/resource from the Unity Asset Store, for, say, an affordable price (like ValhallaRoom) I'd easily snap it up in an instant.
The paper itself, describing a sketch as to the algorithm and method used in the video above, is located here. The video itself is downloadable from this location.
Consequent to this summary of the basics and also the state of the art, doubtless the question might be raised, where does this leave me on this matter? Well, as mentioned before, I'd love to use the technology demonstrated above in a Unity game. As a secondary consideration, I'd be interested in having a play with a simple reverb signal modifier, seeing if I can hack one together, as described above.
Regardless, I'll be sure to write if I make any progress along such lines.

For Cheap Bar Stools, Shop Online
Increasingly, the best deals on products of all kinds can be found online. This is definitely true if you're looking for cheap bar stools. Of course, 'cheap' sometimes is the result of poorly made or damaged products. In the "real" world, to get really inexpensive bar stools, you'd have to get lucky and find them on clearance, or buy slightly damaged items. Not so with stools found on the Internet!
Cheap bar stools are easily found online, primarily because there are more and more vendors selling them. Imagine if your town had 50 bar stool sellers, instead of a handful. Those merchants would do everything they could to win your business, including offering extremely low prices. It's known as a buyer's market, and that's what you'll find if you shop online.
With a bit of research on your computer, you can get a nice set of premium bar stools on the web for the same money you'd pay for a low quality set at a furniture store in your town. There are a couple of ways to go about it. If you already have a firm idea of what you want in terms of the style of cheap bar stools, a simple search at one of the big search engines will provide you with, literally, thousands of choices.
If you really don't know what style of bar stools you want in your home - only that you want them to be cheap - it will take you longer, but you'll still end up with exactly what you want. The first thing you'll want to do is settle on a range of prices you can afford and how many stools you want. Then it's just a matter of conducting a generic search for bar stools. Google is a good starting point. Spend some time investigating your options (you may be surprised by how many choices you actually have).
Once you've got some ideas of the styles that are most appealing, look for vendors who offer cheap prices on their bar stools. Be sure to factor in any shipping charges, which can be substantial for heavy items like furniture. Take things step-by-step and you'll end up with cheap bar stools bought online that will look anything but cheap.

Group of Uber Drivers Strike Nationwide
Impacting Travel Michael Isenbek October 17, 2015
Photo via Facebook/Uber Freedom
The latest protest against ride-hailing service Uber is coming from within. As reported by Mashable, a group of drivers for the company under the banner "Uber Freedom" are calling for their fellow workers across the U.S. to strike over the weekend, in such major cities as Houston, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Participating drivers began ignoring the app Friday and will continue to do so until Sunday, Mashable said, noting that Uber Freedom's event page on Facebook has over 1,200 confirmed strikers. A December study estimated that there are 162,000 U.S. Uber drivers total.
According to Mashable, the group is demanding the addition of a tip option to the app, an increase of both the minimum fare and cancellation fee to $7, and the raising of Uber X fares by 60 percent.
A major benefit touted by Uber is the chance to "be your own boss," and this has become a point of major contention. But, as Mashable pointed out, this has led to drivers being classified as independent contractors, and not eligible for benefits.
Striking drivers don't seem to feel like their own boss, though. Fortune reported from the protest Friday outside Uber's San Francisco office, and quoted Abe Hussein, a former Uber driver from Kansas City, who declared, "The Uber drivers are anything but their own boss," saying that the inability to control their own rates shows what little control they actually have.
"We're fighting to make our presence known this week to tell them that we're sick of their B.S.," Hussein told gathered protesters and reporters. "They no longer can treat us like machines."
A statement from an Uber spokesperson emailed to Mashable in response to a request for comment about the strike reiterated the company's philosophy: "We always welcome feedback from driver-partners. Each week, tens of thousands of drivers across the U.S. begin using the Uber app to make money on their own time, to reach their own goals. Drivers say they value the flexibility and the chance to be their own boss, and choose Uber over other options because it fits around their life and works for them."
This isn't the first protest by drivers outside of Uber offices. Mashable noted that on the occasion of a "Global Day of Protest" in October 2014, around 50 people showed up to demonstrate.

The upcoming Harvest Moon on September 13 (or 14 depending on where you are) garners its name by being the full moon closest to the Autumn Equinox, which not only harnesses the turn of the season, but also reigns as the largest full moon of the year.
The main significance of the Harvest Moon is rooted in the days when farmers had to make haste to finish gathering crops in the fields. They were greatly aided by the Harvest Moon, as it has a shorter rising time between sunset and when it makes an appearance in the Eastern skies, resulting in less hours of darkness. With all this extra light, farmers were able to finish all the chores of the season and prepare for the inevitable cooler weather.
The significance of the harvest moon doesn't just apply to farmers. We are all coming to the end of our summer season, where we keep a frenetic pace of work and play, putting forth great effort to making things grow in our lives. As we move into the fall, it's time to take stock of our achievements, celebrate with family and friends and reap the fruits of our labor. We soon begin the journey inwards, to a slower and more contemplative pace.
Before we do, lets make sure you use the power of this Harvest Moon in our own lives! Here are 6 suggested actions to take that will have you eager to kiss the summer farewell for another year.
- Make some preserves
You don't need to be an expert to make a simple jam or apple sauce that will keep you satisfied all winter through. Use those gorgeous pears and peaches to whip up some healthy fruit leather or just chop and freeze in little baggies. They'll be begging to be used in your breakfast smoothies or on top of slow cooked oats. Putting away some of the summer harvest is intensely satisfying and so easy to do. Get a full beginner's guide to preserving here.
2. Sort out the unusable fruit
It's time to weed out the bad apples – take stock. What is no longer working for you in your life? What lessons have you learned this summer? What do you need? What gives you joy? What do you need to let go of? Doing some literal sorting will have you thinning out your closets and streamlining your daily choices.
3. Celebrate the bounty
Throw a huge party with your family and friends! Celebrate all the fun you had this summer and everything you accomplished. Make sure to eat lots of delicious, homemade food and dance by the light of the moon. These are the last warm evenings for a while.
4. Organize your cave
It's natural to lament the coming of the cold, but you can also find ways to look forward to snuggling in for the winter. Get your knitting out, dig up the cozy blankets and wool sweaters. How about some new tea blends and slow cooker recipes? Make a list of fall books to read and movies to re-watch. Making your cave a cozy will leave you comfortable and looking forward to the change.
5. Give thanks
Having an attitude of gratitude will leave you focusing on all that you've accomplished this summer, instead of dreading the ending of it. This is a wonderful time to get back to your morning meditation practice, incorporating some journaling at the end.
6. Set new intentions
The full moon is prime time for letting go and beginning anew. Lay out under the stars and dream about what you'd like to manifest this winter. Is it an adventure in an exotic destination? Learning to play a new instrument? Writing a book? Whatever it is, let your mind wonder to wild and wonderful places.
Of course, don't forget to run out into the night, turn your face up to the sky and let out a long howl! Happy Harvesting!

In my last post I discussed the Life Cycle of the Age Group Ironman® Triathlete. Next, I'd like to share with you now some tips on achieving longevity in Ironman® triathlon.
# 1 – Endurance Fitness as Lifestyle
The single most important factor in maintaining your lifespan at the Ironman® distance in the sport of triathlon is to adopt the ethos that fitness is a critical component of your lifestyle. That is, you're not training or exercising to participate in an event. You don't go to the pool or the gym as an act in itself. Rather swimming, biking, running, and endurance training is just what you do, it's a very important part of who you are.
#2 – Life is Too Short to Not Do Cool $+!%
…and for you, as an endurance fitness lifestyle person, cool stuff means doing cool stuff with your fitness. In fact, your endurance lifestyle builds a vehicle for doing cool stuff with your fitness — to experience the world and life from the unique perspective of your bicycle, running shoes, or Speedo (not that there's anything wrong with that).
Ironman® triathlon then is just one of many things on your Cool Stuff List that you do with your fitness. On this list should be other non-Ironman, cool events — running races, epic bike rides, hiking trips and much more. If it sounds like fun, do it, saddling up your fitness and doing cool stuff.
In fact, one of the unfortunate products of training for an Ironman® are the missed opportunities to do other cool stuff with that fitness. That is, many Ironman® athletes get so geeked out with "my long ride needs to be X and my long run needs to be Y next week, and the next week, and the next…" that they lose sight of the fact that the process of Ironman® training is building an incredible Cool Stuff Fitness Vehicle.
Rather, put cool stuff on the calendar, trick your friends into doing it with you, call it "Ironman® training," and just move from Cool Event to Cool Event across your training and racing season.
Go here learn more about our Tour of California Cycling Camp, the ultimate expression of doing cool stuff with your fitness!
#3 – Seek Out Others Who Share Your Fitness Lifestyle
Try to add a social component to your training by seeking out like-minded individuals near you who share your commitment to an endurance fitness lifestyle. Thursday night $5.25 pitchers of PBR are replaced with 3 hours on your bike on Saturday morning with your friends — with all of the fun smack talk and hammering that comes with it! Seek out triathlon, cycling, running clubs and / or masters swim workouts, expanding your Rolodex of people you can plug into, adding a valuable social component and accountability to your training. Finally, training with or like a single sport athlete for large chunks of the year is a great way to get faster through the process of getting your ass handed to you, frequently. You'll also expand your skill set, such as learning the all-important Official Rules of the Euro Cyclist!
Go here to learn more about our team of age grouper triathletes, committed to making the most of their endurance fitness lifestyle!

Xango Review: Make Network Marketing Money with Mangosteen
This Xango review offers an overview of the company, the product and the network marketing opportunity that goes along with it. Irrespective of how good or bad a product is, what makes an MLM program worth joining is a combination of its income potential and its capacity to endure: to last and make money for you over a lengthy period of time. Otherwise the work carried out to build a good downline may well be wasted.
Here are the main features of the Xango program and what it has to offer you:
Xango Review: The Founders
The founders and management of any MLM program are important, since the future of any business depends a great deal upon how it was set up and how it is being run now. Gary Hollister set up Xango in 2002 along with Aaron Garrity, Kent Wood, Bryan Davis and Gordon and Joe Morton.
Each of these people has a sound background in marketing and running a business, and Xango has gone well under their leadership. With a million distributors, this is a popular program, and there is plenty room yet for more. The team is experienced and expects to go from strength to strength.
Xango Review: The Product
Any good MLM program must have a sound product, mangosteen, with high sales potential. Network marketing got a bad name when a few programs had little or even no product and the wealth of the business came from entry fees. Fortunately such unsustainable MLM programs are now illegal, and Xango has a great product to offer.
Xango is a health drink based upon mangosteen, a plant that is packed full of nutrients in the form of anti-inflammatories and antioxidants and that can help prevent strokes, heart disease and cardiovascular problems in general. It contains a number of different flavonoids, polyphenols and xanthones, all of which have a sound scientific base behind their health benefits. Vemma is a competitor of Xango and also contains mangosteen as the primary ingredient.
The drink itself is pureed mangosteen with varieties based upon several other fruits being added to the puree, each offering its own specific benefit to complement those of the mangosteen itself. The product is an ideal one to form the basis of a network marketing program because it is good for your health, helps your skin stay looking younger, protects against heart disease and helps reduce the swelling and pain of arthritis, and is a very popular supplement.
It sells – and that is the main benefit of Xango. Some products offer many of the above benefits but don't sell – Xango sells and sells well, so you should have few problems in promoting it and making money from the program simply through direct sales. How much you make depends upon how well you use the marketing structure and take advantage of the compensation plan which are both discussed next.
The Xango Compensation Plan
Xango pays you up to nine levels down. Some pay more and some less, but nine is good, and is sufficient incentive for you to build up a good downline. Not only that, but with nine levels down, there is plenty incentive for you to also train your downline in how to build their own downlines, and also train them in how train their own downlines. Your objective is to help your recruits to build as many levels down from you as possible, each with as many representatives as possible that are selling the product.
Like any MLM program, nobody makes money unless product is sold. There is little to be gained if everybody builds downlines and hopes that the next guy is actually going to sell the product! So teach them how to recruit and how to promote and sell Xango – that's what it's all about! Xango helps by providing you with plenty promotional material and advertising support. The product is advertised all over the internet and offline, so all you need do is to make sure they buy it from you.
You get paid for your own sales, for those of your downline and if you qualify for the quarterly bonus pool you get you share of a global pool of cash. Powerstart enables you to earn 30% of the first order of your personal recruits, and 15% of their recruits' first orders. Since Xango sells so well, you should be able to make a nice regular income, increasing each month as you increase your downlines.
Xango can be promoted either online from your website or blog, or you can also sell offline to friends and family. The 'Magic Wand' is a video you can buy that has an amazingly high conversion rate from those that watch it, and there is plenty more marketing support from the company.
Xango Review: Summary
Xango appears to be an excellent network marketing opportunity for anybody wanting to make money online with minimum outlay. The company is sound and growing, the product is excellent with rapidly increasing sales and the backing you get to make the best of a good compensation plan is also first class.
The conclusion of this Xango review is that whether you are an experienced multi-level marketer or if you are trying it now for the first time, Xango is an excellent choice and offers a great opportunity to build your own home business selling a great product.
There are no doubts that Xango ticks the boxes for a good networking marketing program, and there are no reasons why you should not at least try it if you are seeking a good and enjoyable way of making money from home.
