Scholarly stuff
This past week I got a letter from our public school system asking if we wanted to sign up for a special homeschool curriculum provided (and paid for) by the public school system. Free materials? It sounded like a nice deal—I could use them if and when I saw fit—but then I read the next line: Your children would be required to take the SOLs at the end of each year.
Erp-erp-erp-erp! RED ALERT! RED ALERT!
Um, thanks, but no thanks. I tossed the letter in the trash.
Seeing as I'm considering doing away with grades all together (I would rather simply state the kids' ages instead of pigeon-holing them in a particular grade level) because I think I'll be homeschooling for the long-haul (at least through 8th grade, maybe) and I'm not following grade levels now as it is. But any switch I make would be more in theory than in real life since at church the kids are divided up by grade, and I don't make a practice of rocking the boat everywhere I go. (I don't make a practice of going many places, either.)
Anyway, the reason I'm writing about this stuff is because we just got some new non-standard educational books in the mail and they are really cool and I wanted to show them to you.
The first one is Material World: A Global Family Portrait by Peter Menzel. The book is a photo-documentary of thirty families from all over the world, divided by continent, one statistically-average family per country, thirty countries in all. Each section starts with a picture of the family posing with all their possessions on the outside of the house.
Beside the introductory picture is a list of the family members, as well as a list detailing all the objects in the photo. The next several pages of each section are filled with pictures of the family going about their daily lives, as well as a blurb by the photographer in which he shares some anecdotes of the time spent with the family.
There are also statistics about the country as a whole and another list with the statistics of that particular family. Yo-Yo is fascinated by one statistic in particular: the family's per capita income. "They earn as much in a year as Papa earns in a day (or week or month)!" They are also fascinated with how many hours each parent works and that the women usually work more hours than the men.
So many discussions and applicable lessons can come from this one book. Some ideas include: a) having the children make a list of all our possessions; b) selling some of our possessions and donating the money to an aid organization; c) just plain weeding through our material excess and foisting it off on Gift and Thrift; d) including the children in our annual bet; e) inviting guests of other nationalities for dinner and getting them to tell us stories from home; f) better yet, getting them to cook an ethnic dinner for us; g) preparing a dish from the country under scrutiny using Extending the Table cookbook, and so on.
When it comes to teaching (and gaining) perspective, this book is a gem.
Speaking of gems, we have started chemistry.
I read about Theodore Gray in my Home Education Magazine and then promptly ordered two of his books: The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe and Mad Science: Experiments You Can Do at Home—But Probably Shouldn't. We are reading through the first book, taking an element at a day.
It's way above the kids' heads (and a bit above mine), but they're getting the gist of the idea—that our physical world in made up of 118 elements that can not be taken apart into something smaller though they can be joined together to make something new, like pencils, blood, and pavement.
The first few pages of the book outline the periodic table, but the bulk of the book is dedicated to the elements themselves. Each element has two pages: the first is a photograph of it in its raw form (if possible) and the second page lists the details—the atomic weight, density, radius, and crystal structure, as well as interesting tidbits ("sulfur is also one of the three basic ingredients of gunpowder, and thus has the blood of millions on its hands") and examples of the different forms the element takes on in everyday life.
This book makes me want to construct models of atoms, so I may need to find a standard chemistry 101 book as well as a kit for the next teaching episode.
How much do you remember from your highschool chemistry class? Are you up for a pop quiz? Can you identify these elements?
Element Number One:
Element Number Two:
Element Number Three:
Element Number Four:
Element Number Five:
The experiment book is pure fun, but at this point it's still mostly for me since the kids don't quite get Gray's subtle humor or the bizarre dangerousness of some of the experiments (though his opinion on safety goggles comes across nice and loud).
But that's okay, we'll read bits and pieces and over time and they will absorb some of what it means. If nothing else, I hope it gives them an appreciation for chemistry.
Okay, kids, here's a cooking project for you. Dig out the fire extinguisher that's buried behind the box of recycling under the kitchen sink, empty it into a pillow case, and whip yourself up a nice bowl of ice cream. (He doesn't say it exactly like that.)
Needing a new pair of pantyhose, anyone?
And in this maverick fashion, we learn.

Oh, what an excellent post. I'm off to order the first book you described...and maybe even the second. I love getting a peek inside others homeschool topics. Thanks for sharing- and keep it up!ReplyDelete
The Material World book is a good one... and if you haven't read it already... so is "What the world eats" by Faith D AluisioReplyDelete
I love that book about families' material possessions; what a great book to share with kids!ReplyDelete
I have both book Mavis mentioned - awesome reads, both of them....ReplyDelete
I love the first book. It's really interesting to see the portraits of the families with only a few things and then the photos of so much stuff you can barely see the people! You should check out the Periodic Table of Elephants - http://www.emsb.qc.ca/laurenhill/science/elephant2.jpg It's a great way to remember the elements.ReplyDelete

In this episode, I walk through several key metrics that are critical if you're starting or investing in a coworking space using the results of the GWA 2017 Industry Financial Survey.
In this episode, we talk about why community is one of the core benefits of getting people into flexible workspaces.
Loneliness is on the verge of becoming an epidemic.
We are all social creatures. Research shows that people with stronger social ties live longer.
We CAN create community in shared workspaces and it can have a dramatic impact on people's lives.
Have a listen to a few stories of how community changed lives.

And when considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them, and said to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be attended with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives." But the centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship, than by what was being said by Paul. And because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing northeast and southeast, and spend the winter there.
And when a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had gained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore. But before very long there rushed down from the land a violent wind, called Euraquilo; and when the ship was caught in it, and could not face the wind, we gave way to it, and let ourselves be driven along. And running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship's boat under control. And after they had hoisted it up, they used supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the sea anchor, and so let themselves be driven along. The next day as we were being violently storm-tossed, they began to jettison the cargo; and on the third day they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. And since neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm was assailing us, from then on all hope of our being saved was gradually abandoned.
Those who go down to the sea ships,
Who do business on great waters;
They have seen the works of the Lord,
And His wonders in the deep.
For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind,
Which lifted up the waves of the sea.
They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths;
Their soul melted away in their misery.
They reeled and staggered like a drunken man,
And were at their wits' end.
And when they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, "Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete, and incurred this damage and loss. And yet now I urge you to keep up your courage, for there shall be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted you all those who are sailing with you.' Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God, that it will turn out exactly as I have been told. But we must run aground on a certain island."
But when the fourteenth night had come, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land. And they took soundings, and found it to be twenty fathoms; and a little farther on they took another sounding and found it to be fifteen fathoms. And fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.
And as the sailors were trying to escape from the ship, and had let down the ship's boat into the sea, on the pretense of intending to lay out anchors for the bow, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved." Then the soldiers cut away the ropes of the ship's boat, and let it fall away. And until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing. Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation; for not a hair from the head of any of you shall perish." And having said this, he took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he broke it and began to eat. And all of them were encouraged, and they themselves also took food. And all of us in the ship were two hundred and seventy-six persons.
And when they had eaten enough, they began to lighten the ship by throwing out the wheat into the sea. And when day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a certain bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could. And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach. But striking a reef where two seas meet, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves. And the soldiers' plan was to kill the prisoners, that none of them should swim away and escape; but the centurion, wanting to bring Paul safely through, kept them from their intention, and commanded that those who could swim should jump overboard first and get to land, and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship.
And thus it happened that they all were brought safely to land.
Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
And He brought them out of their distresses.
He caused the storm to be still,
So that the waves of the sea were hushed.
Then they were glad because they were quiet.
So He guided them to their desired haven.
Let them give thanks to the Lord for His loving kindness...

A year ago, I welcomed 2018 with gratitude and joy.
We finally had it all figured out and we spent NYE surrounded by friends and their children ringing in an early new year by 8 pm on the Netflix countdown. The champagne poured and the kids cheered their apple juice.
I had the best performance year of my career, started teaching at a second college, and published a book. It felt like we were finally in the clear. Things were looking up.
But then, Ally got kicked out of daycare again this fall, I lost my full-time job, lots of friends, and my entire life collapsed. And I was alone.
For the first time since my daughter was born, I have had time to just be present. Losing my job and being forced home with my daughter has been more of an opportunity than a burden—minus the part about needing an income.
This NYE, a lot has changed. It is just the three of us in our pajamas watching movies and ordering pizza. We'll soon send the kid to bed and binge watch Ali Wong and other Netflix comedy specials because we make the best of things and want to start the new year laughing.
This was one of the most difficult years for our family. Despite everything, this was my year of clarity and awareness. It is clear to me who I want to be and what is most important. Sadly, this comes with the awareness that it won't be easy, a lot of people suck, and this journey is indeed a lonely one.
Being a parent of a child with a disability started out like riding a crowded train. More and more people get off at each stop except for us. We can't get off of the train and will remain the last ones riding it, alone.
Hopefully next year, we reach our destination.
Thank you to those that have stuck around and supported us and have been the saving grace in letting me believe that there is still kindness in humanity.
Happy New Year everyone! I feel like 2019 is going to be like opening a ton of LOL Surprise dolls without actually needing to buy or open any. Cheers!

I would like to invite any/all VA riders and racers to the final rounds of our 2013 Region 8 racing program. We are executing a race in Watkins Glen, at the southern tip of Seneca Lake, not far from the PA border, August 24/25. We want to welcome any new and former VA attendees to come out and race this event. It is one of the closest we have done to the PA line and we are hopeful the proximity will encourage some new faces (and old too of course)! The venue is one of the best I have ever seen, a massive park on the lake and campground right across the street.
Travel to the event venue DOES NOT require driving thru or near NYC! This is a close event for many Atlantic coast residents, and if youre looking to get out to a race, this is a terrific opportunity to do so. This event is 350 miles from Colonial Beach, and no more than 500 from any other point in VA. It is definitely worth the trip!
Feel free to PM if you would like information, and check out our site's Racing page:
Hope to see you there!!!

Prince George's County Public Schools (PGCPS) Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kevin M. Maxwell gave remarks regarding graduation rate allegations during the June 22, 2017 Prince George's County Board of Education meeting. The full text is below.
Good evening.
I want to start by congratulating our newest alumni, the Prince George's County Public Schools Class of 2017. Your success speaks for itself: More than $151 million in scholarships. Countless awards and recognitions. Opportunities for challenging careers and the pursuit of higher education. Congratulations to all!
Summer is officially in session. I encourage everyone to visit the PGCPS website for information about academic programs, activity packets and reading lists for students in preparation for the fall. Our summer meal sites at various schools, libraries and apartment complexes started this week. There are many ways that PGCPS serves students all year long and you can find more information at www.pgcps.org.
I also join Dr. Eubanks in thanking Dr. Beverly Anderson and Juwan Blocker for their service to the Board and the children and families of Prince George's County Public Schools.
At this time, I would like to address the claims of systemic corruption regarding our graduation rates.
The Class of 2017 was just starting high school when I came back to PGCPS in 2013. My team has spent the last four years focused on giving students opportunities to meet the same expectations, the same standards and access to the same supports as their peers across the state.
The false allegations about our graduation rates strike at everything that Prince George's County schools stand for -- past, present and future. These allegations denigrate why teachers teach and why principals lead. They are a personal attack on every teacher, counselor, administrator and employee.
I know firsthand the life-changing power of a high school diploma. I'm the only one of my siblings to graduate high school -- a Prince George's County high school.
There has been no systemic effort, ordered by me or others acting on my behalf, to promote students in order to inflate graduation rates. The changes we have made to provide additional student supports are modeled on best practices in other districts. Our new grading procedure puts us on par with our neighboring jurisdictions. Our credit recovery system is replicated by the majority of districts in Maryland. All of our efforts are focused on providing students with multiple pathways to success.
My team and I remain open to resolving any concerns that are brought to us about what employees may have seen in our schools. We will continue our normal process of grade and credit audits and addressing any irregularities.
But I will not accept the complete mischaracterization of Prince George's County Public Schools and the hard work of our students and staff.
Our students and staff are amazing and it is past time that we treat public education in this County with the dignity and respect that our students and staff deserve.
Thank you to all of you who continue working in service to the children and families of Prince George's County Public Schools.

The NLCB-sponsored National Elite Youth Football Programme which features action among the various Regional Associations- Northern FA, Central FA, Southern FA, Eastern FA, Tobago FA and the Eastern Counties Football Union (ECFU), will continue today with matches at the Ato Boldon Stadium, Couva from 9am.
Last weekend the under-13 boys from the sister isle of Tobago were at the wrong end of a 9-0 thrashing from the Eastern FA at the Plymouth Recreation Ground in Tobago.
Terrel Gibson, Ja-Shawn Thomas, Daylon Riley and Nathaniel James each scored two goal apiece, while Clint Francis got the other in the victory. After the game Thomas was adjudged the Player of the Game.
Despite the win however, the Southern FA leads the table after two round of matches on a better goal-difference to the Northern FA. Both have maximum six points after two games, but the southerners have a goal difference of seven to the Northern FA's five.
The boys from north Trinidad were also on winner's row last weekend, defeating the Eastern Counties 4-1, courtesy a double strike by Jahiem Marshall in the 30th and 57th minute, which led to a superb comeback.
The northern fa were stung early in the match when Isreal Joseph opened the scoring in the 13th minute for the ECFU.
The northerners equalised three minutes later when Josiah Wilson found the back of the net in the 16th. The Marshall show came after Meegus Jack scored in the 19th minute to gave the north team a 2-1 cushion. Marshall was later named Player of the Match.
In another game, the southerners got a lone strike from Molik Khan in the 54th minute to claim a 1-0 victory over Central FA. In that match Cunnielus Hannaway got the nod for the player of the game award.
Today's opening game will see the EFA taking on CFA from 9am and leaders SFA clashing with the ECFU at 10:30am. In the other encounter the NFA will take on TFA from 12 noon.
The best players from these play-offs will be chosen and put into a pool to be used for the selection of national youth teams in the future for T&T.

Hi everyone, Kent here.
Well, here we are, facing another fall; summer seems to have left us in the dust (literally.) We finally got some rain last week, but it was not enough to replenish our pond, which is down six inches at least.
Summer is always a busy time on the Ridge, but this year more so than normal. In addition to the harvest, which waited until the last minute and then came on like gangbusters, we were in the thick of family issues, property maintenance, and just plain "life." You all know the feeling I'm sure.
June found us planting our gardens very late (for us.) The strawberry patch was pretty much a loss (again!!!) And we ended up tilling it under. We only got a handful of raspberries from our new patch. The blueberries did "OK" – we were able to put some of those in the freezer, thankfully. By the end of the month the peas were on; we planted sugar snap peas this year instead of the traditional Wando, and the sugar snap did not do as well as we had hoped. We ended up eating a few batches, but none for the freezer. Coccidiosis broke out in our meat chickens, and we lost quite a few before we could get it under control. Such a deadly disease, and so fast moving!
Our daughter was home for the entire month of June, so our family was expanded from 2 to 7 for the month. It was great to have the grandhildren home, but, as you can imiagine, running a busy household of that many people made the month go by pretty fast.
We butchered our own chickens this year to save some money, and that went pretty well; we put 24 birds in the freezer (out of an original count of 30) in two batches, each batch took about 3 hours to process. We skinned them rather than plucking them; and rather than putting them in the freezer whole we elected to cut them up and freeze them in portions so that they would be more convenient for us.
July was hot and dry; and we didn't water the gardens nearly as much as we should have. We made several trips to Pittsburgh for doctor appointments (yes, we're getting to be that age), hosted several family get togethers and kept grandchidren, and generally tried to keep up with life. We started the Bright Line Eating diet together after my sister bought us the book. It seems to be working well for us and we were pleasantly surprised how well it fits our food philosophy – we're finally eating the way we've always encouraged others to eat LOL.
Chickens still seem to be our "game." One of our laying hens was determined to set, despite our best attempts to discourage her. We finally broke down and went to a neighbor and purchased a clutch of fertile eggs. The hen's hard work paid off when she hatched 7 little chicks;. Our friend has a "colorful" flock with several different breeds, so now we do, too! We also started a second batch of meat chickens, and those have done much better than the first batch, with only two lost this time (so far.) We may consider raising all of our meat birds later, rather than earlier, going forward.
August has found the garden finally producing – carrots, kohlrabi, cabbage, tomatoes and – wonder of wonders! – corn. We've never had a decent corn harvest on the Ridge, so we were glad to have something to get excited about.
The big news of August is that we are moving. Our oldest son is buying the big house, and we are hoping to build on the other end of the land. Thus we will have some of our grandchildren close by to help again, we will be able to begin the process of "downsizing" while staying on the land, and hopefully we can engage with another generation to pass along the knowledge, skills, and values we've been accumulating. We are trusting God for wisdom and guidance as this new part of our journey unfolds.

The Albin Polasek Museum and Sculpture Gardens is, of course, the great repository of the work of the great Czech-American sculptor. But its gallery hosts rotating exhibitions of work by other artists.
There are also special events scheduled all year, a selection of which are listed below. The museum is at 633 Osceola Ave., Winter Park, and is generally open 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday, 1-4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $3-$5 (free for children 12 and younger).
For more information, go to polasek.org or call 407-647-6294.
Here are the season's primary exhibitions and selected events:
• Awakening: The Art of Ursula Schwartz: July 30-Oct. 27. Through large-scale oil paintings, contemporary artist Ursula Schwartz expresses her unique South African perspective through bold colors, energetic brush strokes, intimate portraits, metaphoric abstractions and figurative work. Poetry written by the artist's young son will accompany each painting. Visitors can tap into their own emotions and talents as they try their hand at writing poetry in the gallery's "Poetry Corner."
• The Holy Art of Imperial Russia: Icons from the 17th Century Early 20th Century: Nov. 5-April 13, 2014. Centuries-old artistic conventions are juxtaposed with new, Westernized formal elements and vernacular interpretations of these new forms. Exhibition will be on loan from Hollingsworth Fine Art.
• Behind the Curtain: MicheLee Puppets and the Art of Puppetry: May 1-Aug. 24, 2014. The Polasek and MicheLee Puppets explore the rich and multicultural history behind the art of puppetry. From traditional to contemporary styles, see examples ranging from marionettes, hand puppets, shadow puppets, 'Muppet-like,' to modern one-of-a-kind pieces, all hand-crafted and imbued with the ability to express, articulate and move. Play, create and learn in this hands-on, behind-the-curtain exhibition!
• Czech Independence Day: 1-4 p.m. Oct. 27. Free admission. Revisit World War I history and learn about America's role pivotal in forming the nation of Czechoslovakia. A collection of Czechoslovakian objects will be on display, as well as Polasek's bust of U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, which was nearly destroyed by the Nazis and Communist regimes. A hands-on art activity and light refreshments provided.
Latest Theater & Arts
• Valentine's Day: Feb. 14, 2014. Free admission in honor of Polasek's birthday (Feb. 14, 1879).
• Good Friday: 10 a.m.-4 p.m. April 18, 2014. In observance of Good Friday the Polasek Museum will have free admission. Visitors can view Polasek's liturgical works, including "The Victorious Christ" and "The Stations of the Cross." Visitors will also have the opportunity to find 20 hidden traditional Ukrainian Easter eggs, or pysanky, in the historic home.
• 2014 Winter Park Paint Out: April 20-26, 2014. For this week-long celebration, a selected group of plein air artists will capture the landscapes and landmarks of Winter Park and Orlando with oils, watercolors and pastels painted outdoors with the subject directly in view, rather than in a studio. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of the works generated during this week benefit the Albin Polasek Museum. The Polasek's wet-room gallery and gardens will be open free for visitors Sunday through Friday the week of the Paint Out. There will be special events throughout the week, and free painting demonstrations Monday through Friday. A Garden Party will take place on Saturday as a special ticketed event.

Expectations were not high at the beginning of the season for the Fairfax High girls' field hockey team. The Rebels were a much younger team than the 2009 squad that had captured the Liberty District title and advanced all the way to the Northern Region semifinals. With nine seniors having graduated from that team, the 2010 campaign, some speculated, would be a re-building season.
That's not the way things turned out, however. The Rebels, under ninth year head coach Amber Beaudoin, put together one of their best seasons in the program's history. After an outstanding 15-3-1 regular season, Fairfax, as the No. 3 seed, won three straight games at last week's Liberty District tournament, including a 1-0 title game win over top-seeded Jefferson Friday evening, Oct. 22 at Madison High School in Vienna, to successfully defend last year's crown.
"We're young and I think we surprised a lot of people," said Beaudoin, whose team was scheduled to meet Centreville High in a first round region playoff game on Wednesday, Oct. 27 of this week. "We have a completely different team than last year. [Winning the title last week] is an amazing feeling, especially since so many people at the beginning of the year were saying it was a rebuilding year."
The coach spent several years building up the program into a contender before, in 2009, leading Fairfax to its first district tournament championship in 12 years with a title game win over Langley.
"It's taken some years to get the best [girls'] athletes at the school to play field hockey," said Beaudoin.
Many of this year's players played lesser roles on last fall's team but learned what it takes to become a champion. This season, some of those players who, in 2009, did not see as much varsity playing time or played on the JV squad, were counted on to step into the foreground.
The Rebels, even though relatively green, believed they could win this autumn, a confidence that came with last year's breakthrough season.
"When you get into a mindset that you should win games, you feel like you are the best team," said Beaudoin. "They really bought into that and believed it."
<b>FAIRFAX</b>, throughout the season, has gained early momentum in numerous games by scoring early goals or getting a game's initial score. That was the case in Friday's championship game against Jefferson when junior forward Tiffany Balbuena, during a scramble in the circle area following a Fairfax corner, scored on a rebound follow-up shot following a shot on goal by teammate and senior midfielder Lauren Abram. Fairfax, midway through the first half, had a 1-0 lead.
With the lead, the Rebels continued to dictate play the remainder of the game by possessing the ball on offense and allowing the Colonials few opportunities to score.
"We kind of played with the lead and kind of dominated the game," said Beaudoin. "Jefferson had just two corners on offense [all game]. We played really well and I think that [goal] took Jefferson out of their rhythm. We needed to score because they have such an excellent defense. The strength of their team is their back [defenders]."
Fairfax, during the regular season, went 4-2 in district games. The losses, both 1-0, came in back to back days (Oct. 5-6) to Jefferson and Marshall. In the district tournament, the Rebels avenged both of those setbacks with a 2-1 win over Marshall in the semifinals last Wednesday, Oct. 20, and, of course, the finals triumph over the Colonials. Fairfax had opened the district tournament early last week with a 1-0 round one win over No. 6-seed Madison.
Now, it's on to regionals. A year ago, Fairfax won its first two games at regionals over Lake Braddock and Chantilly before losing to South County in a semifinals contest that ended the Rebels' season. The team hopes to go even further at this year's tournament.

Egypt's non-oil imports fell sharply in the second quarter, but tourism receipts and worker remittances together fell by even more, causing the country's current account deficit to widen, according to central bank figures released on Tuesday.
The current account deficit in the April-June quarter widened to $1.70 billion, an increase of $160 million from the same quarter of 2012, according to a balance of payments statement posted on the bank's website.
Tourism, which had been gradually improving since Egypt's 2011 popular uprising caused it to collapse, was dampened during the quarter by boiling political tension in the lead-up to the army's ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Mursi on July 3.
It was also harmed when 19 tourists were killed in the crash of a hot-air balloon in February and by the appointment in mid-June of a governor to Luxor who was a member of a hardline Islamist group connected to the 1997 massacre of 58 tourists.
Tourism receipts tumbled to $1.67 billion in the second quarter, a decline of $663 million from a year earlier.
Remittances from Egyptians working abroad fell, perhaps because workers transferred their funds through unofficial channels to take advantage of a black market in foreign currency, one economist said.
Net private transfers, which the central bank said are made up mainly of worker remittances, fell to $4.65 billion for the second quarter, a drop of $351 million.
The Egyptian pound was fetching as much as 7.60 to the dollar on the market compared to less than 7.00 on the official market.
Imports fell after the Mursi government, squeezed for cash in its final months, suspended wheat purchases from abroad from mid-February to July. Non-oil imports fell to $10.98 billion, a decline of $587 million.
Oil exports for the quarter fell by $771 million on a year earlier, but this was largely cancelled out by a $615 million fall in oil imports.
Reuters calculated the quarterly figures by subtracting figures for the first three quarters of the fiscal year from the central bank's full-year figures. The fiscal year begins on July 1 and ends on June 30.
For the whole of the 2012/13 year, the current account narrowed to $5.58 billion from $10.15 billion a year earlier, the bank said.
Foreign direct investment into Egypt in the 2012/13 year fell to $3.00 billion from a revised $3.98 billion a year earlier. The central bank last year had put 2012/13 FDI at only $2.08 billion, but revised it to reflect new figures from the petroleum sector, it said.
During the April to June quarter, FDI fell to $1.63 billion, a decline of $232 million from the same quarter in 2012.

Concept Video of a Measurement Device Prototype
Measure Pleasure
The initial idea about an intuitive measuring device and it's details has been discussed in a small group, before I started the finalization and creation process.
The whole video was shot without sound so I could give exact advices to the actor during the takes. This made it necessary to implement all the sound effects in the post-production, but digital sound-effects had to be added anyway, so it wasn't a big deal anyway. I worked with sounds and effects from online sources and edited some of them to fit the purpose. To push the credibility of the artificial "physical" In-Room-sounds I also added a small but noticeable Left-Right-Stereo effect to them. (This can be experienced best with headphones.)
The video was shot using only available light in a big bright room in the facilities of Chiba University. As equipment I used a DSLR with a standard lens and a tripod. The later editing was done with Adobe Premiere and After Effects.

If I'm understanding this correctly, someone with dual citizenship (one of which is american citizenship) who lives in Paris, can have dual citizenship while living in Paris until this person moves to the US at which time this person has to relinquish their dual citizenship and just become an american citizen, correct? I wonder if this is something that needs to be noted by immigration to ensure this person is entering the US with an American passport and not exiting the US with a foreign passport that should have been relinquished at the time they were sworn into America citizenship.I missed that. But of course the reason the US allows dual citizenship is that we tax worldwide. So someone with a dual citizenship living, say, in Paris would be tax-liable in the USA. Even if they never visit the USA at all.
And if you want to quit your US citizenship you have to pay up about $2,400.00.

Tradecraft is an espionage thriller feature film about two female ASIO spies—an idealistic analyst and a jaded operative—who cooperate to stop a terrorist attack. Think of Crimson Tide meets The Bourne Identity.
We're seeking the following crew members:
Production Designer
1st AD
Sound Recordist
Sound Designer
Line Producer
Costume / Make-up
Production Manager
Production Assistants
To give you a snap shot of the film we are going to make, award-winning writer/director Ben Phelps and writer/editor Gabe Dowrick created this two-minute sizzle reel: http://www.benphelps.com/tradecraft/
The shoot is divided into main unit and second unit: June/July 2015 and Nov/Dec 2015. More details available upon request. The first half of the shoot is scheduled for Sat 20 June–Sun 19 July 2015.
We recently financed our film with private investors and we've been granted incredible sponsorship, including equipment (ie Arri Alexa), studio rental, studio lighting and post-production facilities at the former AFTRS studios in North Ryde. So we're now in pre-production, scheduled to shoot in 7 weeks.
It will be an ambitious shoot on a microbudget. We're driven by a passion to collaborate on a political Espionage Thriller that's led by active female characters, the type of story that's rarely (ever?) produced in Australia.

HTC's foray into the Windows Phone 8 scene was marked by the HTC Windows Phone 8S and 8X, which were not exactly flagship models in their own right, but came with the right kind of specifications to get the job done. I would say that Nokia has got hold of the Windows Phone 8 monopoly at this point in time, but it seems that HTC is not quite done with Microsoft's mobile operating system just yet, according to a leaked specifications sheet that points toward a new Windows Phone 8 device from HTC, known as the HTC Tiara.
Despite a rather grandiose name, the HTC Tiara will fall under the mid-range category, coming with a 4.3" WVGA display, 1GB RAM, an 8-megapixel camera at the back, with a rumored dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon processor. It is also said that the HTC Tiara will come with Windows Phone 8 GDR2 right out of the box, clearly marking this to be a new operating system update from what we have at the moment. Any one would like to speculate on how much this puppy would cost when it arrives? [photo courtesy of UnwiredView]

Wisconsin Community Mourning Deaths of Girl Scouts
Pick-up Killed 3 Girls and 1 Parent
LAKE HALLIE, Wis. (AP) — Investigators have yet to determine why a pickup truck veered across a highway in rural western Wisconsin and crashed into Girl Scouts collecting trash, killing three and critically injuring a parent.
Colten Treu, 21, sped off after the collision in Lake Hallie Saturday morning, but later surrendered. Treu, will be charged with four counts of homicide, Lake Hallie police Sgt. Daniel Sokup said.
No attorney who can speak for Treu was identified Sunday.
Authorities have not released the names and ages of any of the victims. The girls were fourth graders at Halmstad Elementary School and Southview Elementary School in nearby Chippewa Falls, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) east of Minneapolis.
Hundreds of community members huddled under umbrellas in the biting rain Sunday evening for a candlelight vigil outside Halmstad Elementary. Girl Scouts sang songs in memory of the victims, who were members of Troop 3055. A makeshift memorial of teddy bears, balloons and candles was set up on two wooden benches.
"Our hearts are broken for the girls and families of the Girl Scouts of the Northwestern Great Lakes," CEO Sylvia Acevedo of Girl Scouts of the USA said in a statement Sunday. "The Girl Scout Movement everywhere stands with our sister Girl Scouts in Wisconsin to grieve and comfort one another in the wake of this terrible tragedy."
In a message to parents, Superintendent Heidi Eliopoulos said: "This is a difficult time for our students, families and staff. We will be providing ongoing support for both students (and) families and staff for as long as needed."
Sokup said Treu's black Ford F-150 crossed a lane Saturday morning and veered into a roadside ditch, striking the victims. Other members of the troop were picking up trash from the opposite shoulder.
Sokup said it wasn't immediately clear what led Treu, of Chippewa Falls, to leave the road, and he described the crash site as "not an unsafe area." The Star Tribune reported that the crash happened before a hill and that there are no blind spots.
But Cecily Spallees, a personal care attendant at a nearby group home, told the newspaper that drivers regularly speed along that stretch of road, which quickly changes from a 55-mph to a 35-mph zone.
"I'm always telling one of my residents that he shouldn't walk this strip at night," Spallees said. "It's not safe."

The golfing industry remains active in the face of economic downturns and privatization. According to the National Golf Foundation, there are over 38,000 courses in the world, with a large majority of those courses available to the general public.
Golf today is bigger than it's ever been. Suzy Whaley, the President of the PGA, had this to say when speaking to Forbes about the economic impact of the game, "I am excited about the future of the golf industry! Golf is an $84 billion economic engine that drives nearly 2 million jobs and contributes more to charity than any other major sports industry."
Do you want an opportunity to escape the mundane nature of a 9 to 5 office job?
Are you looking for a place to work in a serene environment with no distractions?
Whether you're searching for a steady career or just a side gig to make some extra cash, the golf course has plenty of jobs that fit the bill. Let's take a look at some of the exciting jobs that a golf course can offer you.
1. Golf Professional
If you've played professionally in the past, then this is the obvious option. Share your skills with golfers looking to learn the game, or fine-tune an experienced player's game. According to Glassdoor, the average salary for a golf pro is $41,443. Not a bad chunk of change to do something you love every day.
Golf pros often multi-task. Besides teaching clinics, they may schedule course maintenance, handle accounting duties, take count of inventory, and much more.
One of the perks of being a golf pro is the ability to schedule and plan events for charity. Charitable contributions are a huge part of the business aspect of the game. Bring your friends or local community together to raise money for a good cause, all while getting out and enjoying a round of 9 or 18.
Where there's a golf course, there's a golf professional need to maintain the course, when considering the 38,000-course number we mentioned earlier, this need represents a significant demand for the role.
2. Caddie
Caddie jobs come with a wide variety of options. The primary responsibility of a caddie is to aid the game of the player they are assigned to by the caddie supervisor. A caddie at a public course is most likely just there to carry a player's bags from hole to hole. In these cases, it's a good job for younger adults looking to get into the golf business or teens looking to earn some extra money during the summer.
Speaking of money, golf is an expensive game that certainly is tailored to the affluent and those in society with the most disposable income. This detail works in the caddie's favour as all golfers are expected to tip at the end of around, and if you do a good job, that tip will likely be more than what you would get working as a waiter/waitress at a chain restaurant.
Now, if you're truly serious about being a professional caddie, there is some serious dough to be made. According to The New York Times, "In a typical PGA Tour arrangement, a caddie receives a flat rate of $1,500 for a tournament, which helps cover expenses, and a bonus worth 10 percent of the golfer's winnings."
In last week's Shriner's Hospital for Children Open, a lower-ranked tournament, the winner took home a purse of $1.26 million, which translates to a $126,000 payday for his caddie. This salary, of course, comes with more responsibility, such as recommending what club your golfer should use, tracking distance from the hole, and helping your pro plan their next shot.
3. Refreshment Cart Attendant
This job is another valuable side hustle you can find on a golf course. You are mostly one of the leading customer service operators of the golf industry. The primary duty of the beverage cart attendant is to deliver food and drinks to players in the middle of their outing. With an outdoor activity like golf, players need to remain hydrated, especially in the summer months.
Primary responsibilities would be cash handling, keeping refreshments fresh, and managing time efficiently. Due to the nature of the position, you will need to be at least 18 years old to serve alcohol. It's also vital to have a good sense of the game. For example, you can't drive up to someone in the middle of their backswing unless you enjoy being scolded.
So, if you like the idea of spending your day outdoors zooming around in a golf cart, this position may be a good fit for you.
4. Golf Course Architect
For those with a passion for architecture and design, then the role of the Landscape Architect may pique your interest. Course Architects design and renovate golf courses with input from the course owner. Many factors come into play when designing a course, such as what kind of land the course lays on, the geological configuration, and environmental concerns. Therefore, nearly all landscape architects have a bachelor's or master's degree. Check your state's requirements for licensing as it varies state to state.
It is also essential to have a fundamental understanding of budgeting a construction project so that you do not spend more money than has been allotted, especially when considering the amount of time and resources needed to fulfil a project of this size.
Now more than ever, environmental preservation is at the forefront of any golf owner's mind, so architects with a sensibility for sustainability are in high demand.
5. Golf Course Manager
As you can assume from the job title, Golf Course Managers manage the day-to-day operations of a golf course. The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America demands that a manager "have a bachelor's degree in Golf Course Management, Business Management, or a related field."
The manager must stay on top of their course's needs and employ workers to any department that needs help. Other managerial duties include setting budgets, providing excellent customer service, the use of effective marketing techniques, and much more.
They also need a thorough understanding of every department under the golf course umbrella, because they will oversee training for new hires. And in private clubs, they carry a lot more responsibility since they set the membership fees, which are the lifeline of any country club.
6. Greenskeeper
No sport commands a more high-quality surface than golf. When you think of a golf course, what is the image you have in your head? Smooth greens, sandy bunkers, and manicured fringes and fairways. None of that would be possible without the work of a Greenskeeper or Maintenance Worker.
If you're looking to take your landscaping skills to the next level, taking care of a course is as high as it gets. It is crucial to be on top of everything daily. Nobody wants to play a course that has divots on the fairway from weeks ago or try to chip a ball on a fringe that more resembles weeds. Course maintenance is arguably the most critical factor in attracting customers and keeping a golf course in business.
Greenskeepers manage the greens, which entails maintaining a smooth playing surface, not interfering with the curves of the green, and cutting cups. Maintenance workers are in charge of mowing fairways, managing the irrigation system, raking bunkers, fixing golf cart malfunctions, and much more related to the overall well being of the physical course.
7. Events Coordinator
If you're an avid golf fan but are looking to flex your sales muscles, then look no further than a career as an Events Coordinator. Along with the course manager, this is the position that requires the most business savvy.
Event coordinators focus on selling events and sponsorships. The goal is to build up a clientele of companies willing to hold their corporate events at your golf course. Also, the events coordinator oversees the planning and execution of said events, ensuring the client has everything they need for the occasion.
To become an Events Coordinator/Manager, it's highly recommended that you obtain a bachelor's degree in Event Management or Hospitality from an accredited four-year university. Since this is a sales position, that means it comes with a commission (typically in the 15-20 percent range, according to EventPlanning.com). So, the more accounts you obtain, the more money you make.
When job hunting, young professionals often overlook the setting of a position. Instead, they focus on the pay, the company, and the hours. However, in many instances, when they start this new chapter, they realize they dislike their office setting. There are few more beautiful and peaceful places to work than a golf course.
There are millions of people who work their whole life to be able to retire and spend more time on the golf course. So why not start early and spend every week there while you're in your best years?
Whether you're in high school trying to gain your first work experience or a dedicated professional trying to find a steady career for yourself, being employed at a golf course is a step in the right direction.
As the legendary golf coach Harvey Penick once said, "Your next shot is a new experience. It might be the best shot you ever hit in your life."

Peter Bell
Chief Executive, Front Row Racing Team
- Jul 3, 2014

6 Months ago if someone would have said to you that the 1st race of the 2015 Formula SimRacing Season that the 1st 2 places in the World Championship would have been a Madcape and an Origin Front Row Racing Car you may have been sectioned for it.
But, as fate would have it, that's exactly what happened....
For us here at Origin, after bad luck had overshadowed our efforts in ACE and PRO, the World Championship made for a fairy tale ending to the weekend, far exceeding any expectations going in.
Despite a couple of test races it was still unclear to us exactly where we were in comparison with everyone else, and once Q1 got underway, it became clear that a chance of a podium in our debut race was a real possibility.
Kuba set the pace in Q1, and despite being only 0.8 off the fastest time, stand-in World Championship Driver Michi Hoyer could only manage 18th fastest. In Q2 Kuba couldn't quite make his starting position his team's name sake as his time was only good enough for 6th fastest. He would eventually start from 5th as Twister's Muhammed Patel incured a penalty.
Once the lights went out for the race, Kuba quickly dispatched Jonny Simon to move up to 4th, a crash by Joroen Kweekel moved him up to 3rd, and there he would remain until lap 15, when a disconnection by race leader Jim Parisis bumped him up to 2nd place.
Michi Hoyer had begun the race progressing nicely through the field and eventually saw himself running as high as 9th, but a spin into the wall on lap 6 put an end to a points finish. After his stop for a new nose, Michi had some clear air, and was able to lap the same time as the race leaders, what might have been if it hadn't have been for the crash. He would however finish the race of attrition 1 lap down in 12th.
Kuba meanwhile was wearing his tyres faster than Daniel Kiss, a late switch in strategy during the final round of pit stops did, initially, give Kuba the race lead and track position ahead of Kiss, however, it only took the Madcape driver 2 laps on the faster tyre to find his way past, and once he was through Kuba could only watch as the Black and Red Madcape disappeared into the distance.
The threat then came from Twister's Peter Brlyak, who with 1 lap to go was right behind Kuba, however, Kuba was able to hold on, to make it a dream start for Origin Front Row Racing, claiming a podium on their very first outing in the FSR World Championship.
Kuba, after the race was beside himself, and had this to say:
I was worried about extending during Q2 lap, I'm just so relieved, I was sure Peter would get me at the end, we benefited from the misfortune of others, but P2, I am so relieved and happy.
Michi had the following thoughts after the race:
'I don't know what caused the spin on the exit of turn 12, I must have underestimated the consequences of hitting the curb in that direction, in testing nothing like that happened there, it cost me 20 seconds and then I had an incident with Gennaro Celiento which was a bit of bad luck. He came out of the pits and I wanted to take advantage of my speed, I attempted a pass into turn 3, whcih meant me being on the outside of turn 2, but i didn't leave enough room, we made contact and we both spun, unfortunately for him it was race over I was able to continue.'
In ACE, Before the event even got underway, a registration error caused Abdoulaye Diop to incur a Back of the Grid penalty and Dawid Mroczek, despite being 0.7 off the fastest qualifying time, it would only be good enough for P20.
As the race got underway, Diop lost his front wing at the 1st corner, and Dawid was caught up in the huge crash at Turn 12, Abdoulaye eventually retired from the race, Dawid, however, was able to recover to an extent and brought home his Origin in a respectable P11.
After the race both drivers were disappointed, and are already looking ahead to Malaysia, and quickly forget about Australia.
In PRO, Renan Lopes and last minute replacement Andrea Ventura with the departure of Rando Tamm were the 2 drivers this weekend. The bad luck in the lower series continued for Origin Front Row Racing, Renan was nursing a damaged steering wheel and lag throughout the event, however he just missed out on the top 10 shootout, and started from P11. Andrea, who only drove on the mod for the 1st time on Wednesday, managed P13 on the grid.
At the 1st corner, both drivers were caught up in a crash and dropped to 15th and 16th, from here they would run in tandem for a while, and moved steadily up the field, at 1 point both were as high as 9th and 10th. However, Renan's steering issues and lag eventually forced him into retirement on lap 21, running wide on the exit of turn 12 he crashed into the wall, losing both wings, and collected Michele D'Alessandro when trying to move his car.
Ventura on the other hand, drove smoothly and brought the car home in P8 on his FSR debut, a very respectable effort from him, and we at Origin are very happy with his performance this weekend despite how little he knows the mod.
However for Origin, who just 6 months ago would never have dreamt of being in the World Championship right now are on cloud 9. Ryan Winsper, Origin Front Row Racing Team Manager, spoke afterwards and had this to say:
'Its a proud day, I hope it continues throughout the season and we pick up as many podiums as possible, this is just fantastic. I never expected this last season. Kuba is the man of the hour.'
Off to Malaysia this weekend for Round 2, will Kuba's rise to stardom continue? Will Michi's fortunes change? Will the luck be with the ACE and PRO guys?
We will of course, find out next time.

Shanghai extended their home record to 8-1 with an easy 92-75 victory over the Shandong Lions, although the result came at a considerable cost after an injury to Sharks star, Ryan Forehan Kelly. The forward had to be helped off the court before halftime and will have an MRI scan on Monday.
Shandong were the quicker side out of the blocks in the first quarter and Alan Anderson helped his side race into an early lead before Liu Wei calmly helped his side peg back the visiters without too much difficulty.
What the Sharks skipper had started, Meng Lingyuan continued, and the shooting guard's all-action performance in the first two quarters would help his side build up the lead that they would keep for the remainder of the game.
However, Meng's excellent work would go unnoticed after Forehan Kelly fell to the ground after an innocuous collision in his own backcourt. The forward lay on the court clutching his leg and a concerned Sharks squad came out en masse to help their man to the bench. The home side were winning comfortably, 49-32 but the bigger story was now the injury to one of their key players.
With Coach Panaggio having no doubt rallied his side at halftime, Shanghai returned after the interval with noticeable intensity. At one point, Meng crashed into the advertising boards whilst chasing a misplaced pass, before bringing the crowd to its feet with an acrobatic lay up shortly afterwards.
When Meng wasn't pumping the crowd up, a ferocious dunk from Ji Xiang or the gleeful, unrelenting way that Wang Yong was chasing Anderson around the court was enough to keep the noise level deafening.
All of this was becoming too much for the visitors, who were behind by as much as 22 points. At one point during the third quarter, the Yuanshen speakers blared out the theme tune to Mission Impossible as Shandong were bringing the ball down the court, and it seemed that even the PA announcers were getting in on the fun.
Despite Shanghai being up 69-53 going into the last twelve minutes, Shandong would have been mistaken if they thought the hosts were going to take things easy and wind the clock down.
Darting lay-ups aplenty from Feng Tian set the staff for yet another thunderous dunk from Mike Harris, who shimmied past two opposition players before firmly placing the ball between the hoop.
When he returned to solid ground after hanging from the basket for a few seconds, the American couldn't stop himself from pausing to take in the noise from the crowd. Having wowed the home fans with a catalogue of big threes, tricky shots in traffic and now the close range fireworks, Harris knew it was his night and was savoring every second.
Indeed, though Anderson was still rampaging around the paint on his way to eventually scoring 22 points, as a contest, the game was done.
Shandong' swingman cut a forlorn figure as the fourth quarter ebbed away, and was constantly bellowing at Sun Jie, who was having a torrid time against Feng, to focus more on the movement of the young Shark point guard.
As Shandong tired and toiled in the midst of constant Shanghai pressure, there was still time for Harris to dispatch one last dunk after Liu's pass had given him the time and space to casually stroll towards the rim and finish the game with a flourish.
The buzzer would sound shortly afterwards with Shanghai cruising to a 92-75 victory. Harris scored 36 points, Feng made 16 whilst Meng and Liu picked up hauls of 13 and 10 respectively against a Shandong outfit that quickly found themselves on the receiving end of some electrifying basketball from the home side.
However, the potentially serious injury to Forehan Kelly puts all of the above in perspective. This was a bitter-sweet victory', Panaggio noted in his press conference, who praised the performances of Meng, Feng and Xi, before adding 'we played very well and Mike Harris was sensational, but Ryan also got injured and he'll go for an MRI scan on his Achilles tendon tomorrow'.
When asked about his New Years wishes, the Sharks coach was blunt; 'I wish Ryan didn't get hurt, and now I hope he gets better soon'.
The Sharks will now have to hope that 2012 doesn't start with the same luck that blunted the start of their CBA season back in October.

Susan Weitz has a fond place in her heart for the John Jermain Memorial Library. As a young mother of two sons, Weitz and her husband John summered in Sag Harbor, enjoying a seaside life on their boat with their children. The library's reading hour became a sanctuary for the artistically inclined family — one of her sons, now grown, recently brought his own daughter to the library to see if a copy of one of his favorite childhood books is still in the collection.
Weitz's residence, located in Sag Harbor's historic district, once housed captains who thrived during the village's maritime heyday and is one five houses on the annual Friends of the John Jermain Memorial Library House Tour — a tour that has been held for three decades.
The House Tour will run tomorrow, Friday, July 11 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. showcasing houses in and around Sag Harbor that paint not only a historical portrait of the area, but feature different architectural and design styles, and of course, a lot of stories.
This year's tour features five houses, as well as the Christ Episcopal Church of Sag Harbor. Weitz's house is billed as offering the Hollywood memorabilia of a former movie actress, which is true, but the home also showcases a partnership between Weitz and builder Robert Tortora. Tortora gutted, restored and renovated the historic home from the 1830s specifically for Weitz, who had an integral role in the home's architecture and interior design. The home aims to combine the look and feel of a historic home, while incorporating modern amenities.
In addition to having the final word on the layout of the home, Weitz handpicked the design and color of each room — colors she joked made Tortora shudder on first mention, but that create vibrancy to each living space enhancing the décor rather than detracting from it.
Encompassing elements from a meat market and church, another Sag Harbor home on the tour combines several historic elements to create its country charm, including what was once a Noyac meat market, moved to the residence from its original location and crafted into kitchen space. The home's living room also boasts two leaded glass church windows, and historic features like wood beams and plank floors.
While not from the 1800s, the third Sag Harbor residence includes a view of Sag Harbor Cove and landscaping features including a bamboo and lava rock garden, where the Friends of the JJML will provide refreshments during the tour. For the art lover, the homeowner's collection of Indonesian art will also be on view in the 1930s constructed home.
Not many parents would be thrilled to allow their architect son to design their new North Haven residence, but that is exactly what occurred at one of two North Haven homes on the tour. A totally modern residence, completed in 2007, modern features include floor-to-ceiling steel behind the fireplace — a design choice that required a hole be cut in the roof to accommodate the feature. Keeping deer out of a garden has never been so technical, but the home manages a deer proof garden with elevated beds.
Marilyn Corradini did not even need to see the interior of her North Haven home before she bought it. The view from the driveway was good enough for her, although for those on the tour, it will likely be the waterfront view of Noyac Bay, which Corradini notes is visible from every room in the residence.
The traditional, antique 1800 cape boasts three large bedrooms, and while recently renovated to include modern conveniences and space in the home built by Hannibal French and moved from its original location on Division Street, Sag Harbor in 1954.
Corradini has opened the historic home with large windows facing the bay in each room, providing ample light, which stretches across the original, honey-colored wood plank floors. Making the house even more of a gem for Corradini is that the home is surrounded by empty acreage, which has lent to some 32 bird species being counted on the property.
Tickets to the Friends of the John Jermain Memorial Library House Tour are available for $35 in advance or on the day of the tour at the library or at the Wharf Shop on Main Street, Sag Harbor. For more information, call the library at 725-0049.Â

It's not exactly writing gags, but putting together ad copy for fake ads can be just as funny as a cartoon.
Today was the first day of the Spring semester and just so happened to fall on April Fools' Day. I'd done fake ads with the older students before, but I thought it might be a fun project with which to start the new session with the younger kids. I also decided to give them the option of doing a fake video game screenshot. To give them incentive to come up with something cool and flashy, I announced that we would have a contest at the end of class where we would vote on which picture was funniest.
Here are two baseline cartoons, done by middle school students four years ago during the summer session:
You can compare them with what the younger kids did today:
Overall, I liked this lesson a lot. It really was a lesson in pure design. I modeled the initial concepts by letting the kids see some crazy April Fool's Day ads on the internet. Hamburger flavored toothpaste. "Pulp Only" orange juice. A defective tool which was only defective because it was turned left instead of right. And so forth. Then I just left the kids to their own devices. It let me get a real feel for each child's talents. Best of all, the kids had a fun afternoon of drawing something entertaining not only for themselves, but for their peers.

The liquidator escapes
AUTHOR(S): Stuart Margetson, Nicola Dunleavy
PRACTICE AREA GROUP: Commercial Real Estate, Environmental, Planning and Safety
Claim against the liquidator abandoned
The claim against the liquidator was abandoned because he was an insolvency practitioner and had no personal responsibility for the present state of the site. The court found that there is nothing to suggest that the "liquidator himself did anything wrong after his appointment".
It is 'personal responsibility' that may give rise to future concerns. What is involved in the concept of doing nothing wrong is not explained.
Interpreting the risk to liquidators in light of this case and the leading Irish Ispat case (in which a liquidator also escaped clean up costs), liquidators need to carefully consider what actions to take, or not to take, if it transpires that there may be issues of unlawful storage of waste - given the very wide meaning of the word "waste" in environmental law.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Clearcover, the smarter car insurance choice, exited from stealth today and announced an initial funding round of $11.5M led by Lightbank. Clearcover was founded on a simple belief - people shouldn't have to pay for the wasteful things that drive up prices at big insurance companies. By using a data-driven platform to integrate insurance with moments when it matters and applying modern technology to improve efficiency, Clearcover can save customers up to 50% on car insurance.
"People need insurance, but they want to spend as little time and money on it as possible. So why should customers pay higher prices because big insurance companies overspend on activities that waste both?" said Kyle Nakatsuji, CEO of Clearcover. "We were inspired to create an insurance offering that delivers what people really want - great coverage, when it matters, for the lowest cost possible."
To deliver on this promise, Clearcover built an API-based insurance platform that offers customers a streamlined way to purchase quality, affordable car insurance in a variety of high-relevance moments. The industry-first platform eliminates the need for excessive marketing, improves operational efficiency, and makes custom coverage recommendations using artificial intelligence, allowing people to get the same coverage big carriers offer at significantly lower prices and in record time.
"Property and casualty companies spend more than $50 billion per year on marketing, agency infrastructure, and outdated processes. Clearcover's new platform and distribution model eliminate those costs so people get more for their money," said Victor Pascucci III, Managing Partner of Lightbank. "After 20 years of working with insurance companies and investing in tech startups, Clearcover is one of the most exciting opportunities I've seen. We're thrilled to add them to our portfolio."
Greycroft Partners, 500 Startups, Silicon Valley Bank, and other notable insurance and fintech investors also participated in the financing. Clearcover will use the funding to scale up partnerships and launch their first product line, car insurance, later this year. Clearcover will be available for purchase via partners and directly on their website.

About Clearcover
Everyone needs insurance, but let's be honest, not everyone is excited about it. At Clearcover, we know you have better things to do with your time and money, so we created an insurance company that respects both. We don't spend your money on expensive ads, celebrity spokespeople, outdated systems, or other stuff you don't need. Instead, we designed a smarter model that puts great insurance in the places it matters at way lower prices. In other words, we save people serious time and money by helping them think about insurance less.

Meanwhile the church throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and was built up. Living in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers. (Acts 9:31 NRSV)
Back on track!
When I went to the gym this week, I noticed that I was not alone. In December, I had free run of the place, and at night it could almost be a place of contemplation as only the truly dedicated were around. Now the gym is full, it is noisy from the equipment being used and the conversations people are having while trying to get in shape. People seem to be using the New Year to get back on track. To build themselves up again, perhaps so they can feel better about themselves and have peace.
The verse in Acts above serves as a simple transition between the story of the conversion of Paul and the story of Peter bringing the Gospel to the gentiles for the first time. Luke who wrote Acts often uses verses like this to provide for a smooth transition between parts of the church's story. However, they do more than that; they communicate the virtues and values of the early church that Luke finds so important.
Built up for peace!
Luke tells us that the church was built up and had peace. Since so many of us are looking for these exact two things in our own lives, perhaps we should look to what he says. What we find in Acts 9:31 is that being built up and having peace in our lives is conditional. The condition that allowed for this to happen in the churches of Judea, Samaria, and Galilee was that they were "walking in the in the fear of the Lord." They understood that God was present and close. They understood that God was working with and among them. They also respected what God was doing with them.
Just as important, they were walking "in the comfort of the Holy Spirit." The word we translate to mean "comfort" in the original Greek version of the Bible also means to counsel, to advise, or to advocate. Thus they were allowing the Holy Spirit guide and direct their decisions every moment of the day. The results were startling they were built up to become the people God had created them to be and they had peace, which in biblical terms means that they were completely whole once more.
Where to turn?
That the gym is full is sign to me that people are looking to be built up and have peace. That the churches are empty in January is a sign that people are looking in the wrong direction. The myth that you can whip yourself into shape without God and the power of the Holy Spirit is a lie of our culture. If you accept this temptation, you do so at your peril. For in reality the true Christian knows that there is in reality no self-help; there is only a path to follow. The path that our Savior trod to the cross and resurrection. By the first week in February most will abandon the gym again and it will quiet once more (good for me!) as people learn that being built up and having peace requires more than exercise.
For self-help will never be answer to our mortality, and until there is answer for that you will have no peace. So don't leave the church just for the truly dedicated, come be built up and have peace which the world cannot give, but Jesus does.

Art of Tarot 4
In this series, we are taking the time to smell the roses, which for tarot lovers often means taking the time to really appreciate a single image of tarot art.
Today we look at the 3 of Skulls from the Tarot of Vampyres by Ian Daniels. You can see more HERE.
It is no doubt because I am a spinner that I love this card. With the skull and spider web, it makes me think not only of the importance of honing your craft, of always trying to be better, but also of the ultimate impermanence of our lives and how maybe we can live on through our work. And so, what will be our legacy? Seems like it is worth working at and making it the best that you can. Also, with spinning, like tarot, you have to learn the craft of it but to be really good, you have to train your muscles to do the work while letting your mind let go so that the magic and beauty of the universe can flow through you. It is a delicate balance but after you've experienced it, everything else seems clunky and uninspired.
