General Questions
Does ProTutor offer in-person services?
Yes, in addition to virtual tutoring, The ProTutor Company now offers in-person services.
Where does tutoring take place?
For in-person tutoring, we currently serve the northern Delaware and the greater Delaware Valley tristate area. We can come to your home, meet in the middle, or you can come to a location near us.
My child is under 18. Who needs to be at the tutoring session?
If it is your child who is being tutored, and your child is under 18 years old, a parent must be present if the tutoring takes place in the home. Otherwise, we can arrange tutoring appointments to be in public locations where a parent need not be present.
When can I get tutored?
Each tutor keeps his own calendar, with his or her own hours. Tutoring can take place during the day or in the evening, weekdays or weekend. It's up to you and your tutor.
Who will be tutoring me?
Keith Roberts is presently taking tutoring appointments. You can read his bio here.
How do I prepare for my tutoring appointment?
It's best to prepare in advance for your tutoring appointment. This means coming up with an agenda of how you want to spend your tutoring time. It is also smart to maintain a list of tutoring questions between appointments, to ask your tutor if your teacher or professor hasn't been able to answer your questions to your complete satisfaction.
I want to get started with tutoring; what is my next step?
Check in with Keith. Send him a message on his bio page, and tell him the trouble that you or your student is having, and the type of tutoring you would like.
Academic Programs
The big tutoring centers offer custom programs for their students. Do you offer anything like this?
Yes, we can assess your student for his math skill gaps. We use a third party diagnostic to assess these gaps. Then we design a plan to bridge the skill gaps and estimate the amount of time it will take to implement.
My student didn't do well in his math class this year, and I am thinking of getting him tutoring to bring him up to speed over the summer. Can you help with this?
Yes we can. We can assess your student's understanding using a third party diagnostic, and prescribe a curriculum that will bridge your student's skill gaps. We can also specifically prescribe any areas that you are aware of that gave your student trouble on his tests, quizzes or even homework during the school year. We will reteach those areas and bring your student up to speed.
Do you teach study skills?
Generally, we provide study tips as an ongoing part of any tutoring session, as it comes-up during tutoring. But we can provide a structured study skills curriculum to accompany your other tutoring time. When we work with students directly on their study skills, we work on their personal organization, time management, goal setting, test preparation, and help them to develop and implement a study plans for success.
Can you help me prepare for exams?
We can help with any assignment that you are allowed to have help with. This includes any homework assignment, project or even take home test. If you're allowed to have help, we're happy to provide it.
Pricing and Payments
How much does ProTutor tutoring cost?
The cost of tutoring varies depending upon the instructor, the location of tutoring, the length of session, and the number of sessions per week. Contact Keith to get a quote based on your individual situation.
Do you offer any kind of income based sliding fee scale?
We allocate a small number of hours each month to provide services to low income students in need on a sliding fee scale. Hours are limited and are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. A completed application and proof of income is required.
How often am I billed for tutoring?
We require that payment is made at the time of scheduling an appointment unless other arrangements are made in advance. For instance, this means that if your regular tutoring schedule is on Tuesdays at 3:00 p.m., then payment is due for next Tuesday's session, at the end of this Tuesday's session. If you prefer to make your payment further in advance, such as weekly, biweekly, or monthly, then we set billing to occur less frequently. We also give a small discount for payments made that are further in advance.
What payment methods do you accept?
We use a third party payment system to perform all billing. Presently this is PayPal, which means that you can make payment for tutoring using any major credit card that is accepted by PayPal: Visa, Mastercard, Discover Card, Or American Express. We also accept cash, money orders, and personal checks.
Do you offer any kind of financing?
Yes, for well qualified applicants, we can offer financing. Talk to Keith about finance structuring options and completing a credit application.
Scheduling an Appointment
How do I schedule an appointment?
It's easy to schedule an appointment. If this is your first session with The ProTutor Company, then call toll-free at 888-395-0160, or send Keith a message. We generally do a short consultation first, but can begin your sessions immediately. For sessions thereafter, you will schedule with your individual tutor. This usually occurs as part of a discussion at the end of the tutoring session, if you have tutoring on an ongoing basis. Otherwise, you can send an email or call your tutor to set up a session.
How do I change my tutoring appointment?
You can make changes to your tutoring appointment up 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment. Contact your tutor to make the change.
How far in advance do I need to make an appointment?
You can make appointments for any time your tutor has time available. Certain times throughout the year are more busy than others, however — especially around exam time, so be sure to plan to enough time in advance to get your session in!
Canceling an Appointment
How do I cancel an appointment?
You can call, text, or email to cancel your appointment. If the cancellation is close to the appointment time, calling or texting is the best way to make sure the tutor receives the heads-up right away.
I need to cancel my tutoring appointment; will I be charged?
For any appointment, whether online or in-person, there is no charge for cancelled appointments made with more than 24 hours notice. For cancellations made with less than 24 hours notice, you are charged for the appointment. There is a small and limited exception to this policy. Check-in with Keith to learn more about it.
What do I do if my tutor doesn't show-up for our scheduled appointment?
Give your tutor at least 5 minutes, as she might be caught in traffic. If you do not hear from your tutor by then, call or text him or her. If you do not hear from your tutor within the next 10 minutes, contact Keith.
Online Tutoring
What kinds of virtual tutoring do you have?
We have two types of virtual tutoring services. Live real-time one-on-one online tutoring and "asynchronous" email tutoring. What in the world does "asynchronous" mean? It's what distance education experts call education that is not in real-time. If you've taken an online course before, chances are it was asynchronous, meaning that you did not have to sign in at a particular time, and could work on assignments at a pace you were comfortable with (so long as you completed and submitted before a deadline). Email tutoring basically allows you to ask a math expert a question about a problem that is stumping you. You shoot off the email, and your math tutor responds via email — thus allowing you to review it when it is convenient for you. You can also send follow-up questions to further clarify, until you're confident that you fully understand.
How does online tutoring work?
Live online tutoring, like traditional in-person tutoring aims to provide the support and coaching needed by a student to achieve his or her goals. Different from traditional in-person tutoring, online tutoring occurs when the tutor and student are separated physically. The tutoring then takes place by some sort of communications technology which could be any thing. The ProTutor approach uses a combination of internet based communications, with virtual conferencing as its traditional primary tool of communication, and supplementing it with email, and even text messaging. We adhere to the central principle to consider very seriously incorporating any communication tool into the virtual tutoring experience that may help to enhance student learning — and use it, whenever it's practical to do so. When it's not practical to do so — rest assured, we're probably already looking into a way to make it so!
What technology do I need for online tutoring?
Most of the technological demands will consist of having a computer and steady broadband internet connection. We also recommend a digital pen to use during one-on-one sessions, and access to a scanner (or camera phone) to share hard copies of assignments that you will want to work on with your tutor.
If I am stumped by a problem, can I get help on demand?
When you are stumped on a problem, and would like to get a response, send it by email. When you do, you include the problem, with some notes on where you are with the problem and what's causing the trouble. Include a photo of your work is very helpful to us and can be embedded right into the email. From there, we'll take a look and contact you back with some help on the problem.

The controversial cybersecurity requirements proposed by the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) will become effective on March 1, 2017. After a last-minute revision to the proposal following heavy resistance by bankers at a hearing in December last year, the requirements have been reduced, but still impose many new obligations upon financial institutions licensed in New York.
The most significant changes are in:
- Data encryption
- Enhanced multi-factor authentication
- Annual certification
- Incident reporting
Data encryption will now be required for all non-public information both in-transit and at rest; multi-factor authentication will be required for any users accessing internal systems from an external network; annual certification verifying compliance must be submitted by the chairperson of the board or a senior officer; and the scope of incident reporting will exceed those currently required.
Appointing a CISO
Organizations will also be required to have a designated CISO (chief information security officer) to implement and oversee its cybersecurity program. Employed either by the institution, one of its affiliates, or a third-party service provider, the CISO will be required to present a report to the board twice a year, identifying cyber risks, evaluating the success of the program, and summarizing cybersecurity events.
Some organizations already have a CISO or similar role in place, but given the specific requirements that will come into effect, even those that do have one will have to review the position.
For those without an appointed CISO, like smaller banks and insurers, it is just one of several structural changes they will have to consider.
"One-size-fits all" regulation will most affect smaller, rural organizations
For smaller organizations, the DFS proposal may be considered a counterproductive, "one-size-fits-all" approach. Speaking at last year's hearing concerning the DFS's proposal, Laura Mazzara (senior vice president and chief risk officer at Pioneer Bank, a community bank based in Albany) noted that the measures will lead to added investments, both financially and in terms of manpower, that will have a negative impact on smaller organizations such as hers.
"We're concerned," added James Whalen, Pioneer Bank's associate counsel, "that the volume of information required to be reported could be quite voluminous, numbering in the hundreds and potentially thousands of incidents per year."
With many of the compliance deadlines coming as early as this year, it is important for all organizations to be aware of the requirements and put the correct measures in place.
Not sure how to get started?
Sign up for our free webinars. Our experts will provide you with insights on individual requirements and how to apply a best-practice method to help you improve your cybersecurity defenses and diminish risks while staying on budget and meeting deadlines.
IT Governance provides everything you need to satisfy the DFS requirements and offers a full range of products for ISO 27001, a best-practice solution that will ensure you meet your compliance objectives. Find out more >>

After all – they're an important part of your family.

Even though surgery is something we deal with on a daily basis, each one of us has been in your shoes with our own furry family members. That's why we go above and beyond to ensure that every procedure performed in our hospital is as positive and stress-free an experience as possible.
Our experienced doctors and compassionate care team are here to make sure your pet's surgery is a success.

Prior to surgery, we'll determine what your pet's unique needs and risk factors are so that we can account for these things throughout the procedure.

During surgery, the doctor will work with swiftness and precision, adhering to the highest standards of safety and care. Our compassionate care team will be on hand at all times to assist with surgery and to closely monitor your pet to ensure his or her well-being from start to finish.
Some of the surgical procedures regularly performed at Moore Animal Hospital include:
When surgery is complete, your loved one will be carefully moved to our hospital's recovery area, where we will continue to monitor them closely as the anesthesia begins to wear off. Someone from our team will contact you to explain how the procedure went, discuss any pertinent details and arrange a time for you to come retrieve your pet. When you arrive, we'll go over our post-operative care instructions, including an appropriate pain management plan to help make the recovery process as comfortable as possible for your pet.
If you recently learned that your pet needs surgery, there's no need to panic. Whether it's a routine spay or neuter or a complex procedure to save your pet's life, you can feel confident that the surgical team at Moore Animal Hospital will do everything within our power to make the experience a success. We'll have your four-legged friend fixed up and on the road to recovery before you know it!

I cannot believe that it is Friday and here I am, finally getting around to writing about last weekend. I had a very busy week, wallowing in self-pity, finishing off my last class of the semester, reuniting with Grey's Anatomy and watching a bit of playoff hockey.
Anyway. Here is what I did this weekend: went to the same bar, three nights in a row.
I cannot recall a time that I have been out three nights in a row. And the same bar? Unheard of.
This bar is just a few blocks from my apartment. The food is fantastic. The prices are reasonable. The vibe is chill. And I can drink as much as I want and walk home. [That, my friends, is uncommon in this automotive-centered region. We drive everywhere.]
On Friday night, I went out with my soccer team. Dinner and drinks. Nothing too wild, but fun was had and memories were made.
On Saturday night, Colleen came out with Anna and me. It was Anna's 23rd birthday. To celebrate, we ate chips and salsa and drank too much. I went to sleep with Anna and Colleen watching Dan in Real Life, drunk, in our living room. I woke up with Colleen in my bed. The entire evening was blissful.
Sunday did not bring me so much bliss. Aviva called. She was home for Passover and wanted to see me before she left. I had commitments galore, but I promised that I would try to squeeze her in after Anna's birthday party. At 9:30 on Sunday night, I am making the journey downtown to meet her at a damn casino. And then I get there, send her a text message to find out where she is.
And she is at a different casino.
Change of plans!
I was so pissed.
Eventually, Aviva met me at my new favorite bar. By the time she got there, it was 11:45 pm. And I had to suck up the little energy that I had and pretend to be excited to see her. And really? I wasn't. Not so much. Not after that debacle.
But I put on a smile and faked it. Because that is what I do.
And also because I was at my new favorite bar.

Grapplers Planet: We are with Nova Uniao 3rd Degree Blackbelt, Walber "Tete" Barros, who has won over 15 gold medals in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, including the IBJJF, American Nationals, as well as MMA titles, becoming a 2x Shooto Brasil champion.
Please introduce yourself.
Tete: I was born in Manaus, Amazonas, and started training under Master Andre "Dede" Pederneiras at Nova Uniao as a kid over 20 years ago. Martial Arts quickly became my life, giving me a newfound purpose, and competing and coaching felt like a mission I was born to carry out.
Grapplers Planet: In your experience, what motivates martial artists to pursue pro MMA?
Tete: Every athlete pursues MMA for different reasons, including the thrilling atmosphere, the lucrative nature of some events, or the fun of competing before an excited audience.
Grapplers Planet: What motivates you personally to compete?
Tete: I hope to inspire others through my achievements, both martial artists and those not interested in the sport. Successfully competing and winning a high performance sport represents not only athletic ability, but also the results of unwavering commitment, and overcoming seemingly impossible barriers to achieve goals.
Grapplers Planet: How could athletic achievements relate even to those not interested in the sport?
Tete: In competing, I represent not only myself and my team, Nova Uniao, but in a sense, mankind in general, showing what we as humans are truly capable of, by achieving what seems impossible. My achievements reflect more than athletic ability, but also pushing past limitations that we all experience in different magnitudes throughout our daily lives.
Grapplers Planet: What do you hope viewers will take away from watching you compete?
Tete: In competing, I push myself to maximum athletic capacity, and seek to overcome any notions of impossibility. I hope that my performance can remind others of their own inner strength, and the resilience inside each of us to overcome barriers, even when things seem unbearable.
Grapplers Planet: What was your most notable recent achievement?
Tete: I competed in the BKFC 6 in Tampa, Florida, in June of this year [2019]. While it was ruled a unanimous draw, news sources including Yahoo! Sport praised my combinations and domination of the rounds, even saying I "lulled my opponent to sleep." [laughs]
Grapplers Planet: What did you think of the result?
Tete: I think that staying sportsmanlike, no matter the result is most important, to set an example for others. Everyone, athlete or not, has moments of frustration where we feel powerless over life's circumstances. Appreciating the opportunities life presents, rather than letting emotions get the best (or worst) of us, helps take back our power over difficult situations.
Grapplers Planet: Was there anything else notable about the event?
Tete: Incredibly, news sources reported that pay-per-view revenue for the event exceeded $8 million, an impressive figure for a new event, surpassing even some UFC bouts. The popularity of these events and potential for economic impact is interesting.
Grapplers Planet: Speaking of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, what experience do you have in the UFC octagon?
Tete: I volunteered as the corner coach for some Nova Uniao athletes for UFC events, including Bantamweight Ketlen Vieira's UFC on Fox 24 in 2017. I also coached her at Nova Uniao Academy in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The first female from the Brazilian state of Manaus to make it to the UFC, Ketlen currently has a 10-0 undefeated pro MMA streak.
Grapplers Planet: What was your training for Ketlen like?
Tete: I trained her to apply pressure on the opponent to find openings to land uppercuts and combinations. We practiced ending striking sequences by transitioning into a clinch to land knees before the opponent could counter. We also practiced varying the speed and level of strikes to keep her game unpredictable; she has incredible hand speed.
We also practiced hooking the opponent's leg to land takedowns ending in back control. Ketlen is great at getting the opponent against the cage in a clinch, and can also control the match with her striking skills while in the center of the octagon.
Grapplers Planet: How did Ketlen maintain control to win the event despite her opponent's inside leg kicks?
Tete: I taught her to stay within boxing range to use her upper body strikes and simultaneously avoid the opponent's inside leg kicks. I also taught her to strike so that her right hand reaches over and around the opponent's left arm landing in the crease between the arm and the shoulder, contacting the cheekbone.
Grapplers Planet: How was Ketlen's training different than for other UFC athletes?
Tete: I custom-tailor every fight strategy to best counter the specific opponent. In 2017, I also volunteered as the corner for Thales Leites' UFC Fight Night. Rather than close the distance by clinching, the strategy focused on keeping the distance to land inside-leg kicks.
The low kicks kept Thales' opponent from landing close range combinations and countering strikes. I aim to help athletes achieve winning by thinking ahead.
Grapplers Planet: Can you tell us about one final coaching achievement?
Tete: I trained Ronny Markes for his 2011 UFC debut and volunteered as his corner for the event. To prepare him, we practiced using BJJ for the MMA ring, including gaining side control for ground-and-pound.
We also practiced a technique where Ronny controlled the opponent's wrist with one hand, while securing his other hand in an over-hook. Pressed against the cage, this left the opponent's side wide open for effective knee strikes.
Ronny does a great single and double-leg takedown. At one point during the 2nd round of his UFC debut, he started a single-leg takedown. He then used his foot to hook the opponent's other leg, surprising him in transitioning into ground-and pound.
Grapplers Planet: Are you working as a coach now?
Tete: Now I am focused on my athletic career, and only work as a BJJ/MMA competitor, not a coach. While I volunteered to prepare some Nova Uniao competitors for UFC and other professional events, I hope to work as a coach in the future, so I can train more athletes to reach this level.
Grapplers Planet: What is your favorite part of coaching?
Tete: Helping athletes realize that they have what it takes to succeed and reach their goals. I hold the perspective that, if someone out there can achieve it, so can you.
Grapplers Planet: Last Question. You like the phrase, "champion is a mindset." Why?
Tete: Only by giving our 100% effort to every situation can we realize what we are truly capable of, as athletes and individuals.

Isla Majagual and Isla Maje, Panama
At a total size of 224.4 acres (91 hectares), Islas Majagual and Isla Maje in the Bay of Panama are dreams come true for divers, nature lovers and fishing enthusiasts alike. On the market at $2.2 million for the pair, the islands are currently undeveloped but offer plenty of flat, level areas suitable for building.
World fishing records for sailfish and black marlin have been set in the surrounding waters, and divers still pull up gold and silver coins from a Spanish treasure galleon sunk here in 1631. The islands also include a fresh water supply, more than 80 species of bird life, and abundant oysters and clams available for easy harvesting in the shallow waters immediately surrounding the island [source: Private Islands Online].

Chicagoans, you've made it. Now, after spin class, when you're craving cold-pressed juice or wild-caught fish tacos, you can whip out your phone and request their delivery, on a whim, just like your coastal cousins in New York and San Francisco. (And Washington D.C. and Seattle.)
Postmates, a local delivery service, launches today in the Windy City, its fifth market. The San Francisco-based company promises on-demand delivery of nearly anything short of a refrigerator in less than an hour. With a roster of 2000 couriers, dubbed "Postmates," the company operates a mobile app that allows customers to order products from local shops. Postmates completes 10-11,000 such deliveries each week.
The company charges a delivery fee, starting at $5, that ratchets up based on distance and demand. It also takes a service fee equal to 9% of the overall purchase. So a customer who orders $20 worth of gluten-free cupcakes will pay at least $26.80 in total ($20 + $5 + a service fee of $1.80). Couriers keep 80% of the delivery fee, plus tips. Postmates CEO Bastian Lehmann says that courier compensation averages out to about $11 per delivery.
In New York, most Postmates use a bicycle, while couriers in San Francisco and D.C. split roughly evenly between bicycle and car. Most Chicago Postmates will use a car, due to distance and weather. The company's busiest times are during lunch and dinner hours, and on the weekends.
The argument is that a lot of people, especially in affluent, urban markets, value their time highly enough to pay a premium for the convenience of such deliveries.
Venture capitalists agree. Postmates raised a $16 million Series B round of venture financing in February, led by Twitter investors Spark Capital. The company has 20,000 merchants registered on the service.
So why Chicago? Aside from its status as the third-largest city in the U.S., it also boasts a low rate of car-ownership, says Lehmann. It has a rich restaurant-scene and terrible weather, which makes delivery attractive. "Plus it's Seamless' home turf," says Lehmann. (Food-delivery service Seamless recently merged with Chicago-based GrubHub to form GrubHub Seamless.) "It's good to upset them a little bit, so why not do that?"
Lehmann founded the company, now with 46 employees, with Sean Plaice and Sam Street in 2011. He previously founded Curated.by and Zensify, two companies focused on organizing social media feeds. "They were all so terrible," Lehmann says of his past ventures. "They didn't fail on a large scale, they just failed. There were all stupid ideas or badly executed ideas."

Direct Labor Cost Components
A small business must measure direct labor when making goods or calculating the cost of contract work. In both cases, you need to know exactly how much it costs you to have personnel making goods or completing a project. While it might seem simple to add up what you spend on workers, you must consider cost elements that are easy to overlook when you figure your direct labor costs.
You may think of wages first when considering direct labor costs, and rightfully so. The money you pay in salaries makes up the largest part of your direct labor costs. Make sure you only count wages for employees who directly engage in the manufacture of products or who do the work you have contracted to complete for another company. Keep your figures for wages separate from all the other direct labor costs you incur so that you have an idea of how much productivity you are getting for the salaries you pay.
All the benefits you pay for employees count for your direct labor costs if those employees engage in manufacturing products or performing labor on your projects. This can include health insurance premiums that you make, profit sharing contributions and matching payments to retirement plans, to give a few examples. Total up all your benefit expenses for direct-labor employees and count them toward your total production cost expenses.
Social Security and Medicare Taxes
If the people that perform direct labor for you are employees instead of subcontractors, you must pay the employer's share of Social Security and Medicare taxes. You do not get any refunds or any other form of reimbursements on these taxes, so they are part of your direct labor costs. Keep track of these taxes so that you get a clearer picture of what your direct labor is costing you. Do not count the portion of these taxes that employees pay themselves.
Unemployment Insurance
Unemployment insurance that you maintain on behalf of employees can be part of your direct labor cost. Count only that portion of unemployment insurance payments that covers employees who actually engage in direct labor. This expense will round out your analysis of how much you spend on production employees. If any of those employees file an unemployment claim against you, count that expense as well.

Mentor System
The Mentor system in our High School is an important vehicle for fostering School ruach (spirit) and ensuring that the pastoral care needs of our students are met on a daily basis. The School is divided into four Houses, each named after important cities and towns in Israel: Be'er Sheva, Teveria, Yerushalayim and Zfat. Within each house, there are three Mentor groups. Mentor teachers are matched with students and their families when they join the school. This relationship plays a significant role throughout our students' High School career. Siblings are kept together in the Mentor system and this enables Mentor teachers to build a strong bond with our Carmel families.
The purpose of the Mentor system is to ensure that each student can identify and actively work with their strengths and weaknesses. We place heavy emphasis on ensuring that our students are equipped with the necessary social and emotional intelligence to be successful. We run a range of ongoing programs each year to support students and their families on this journey. These range from Peer Support programs run by trained Carmel students, to guest speakers and incursions and excursion.
Our Mentor groups are structured vertically so that students from across Years 7 – 12 work together. This is particularly significant in building the leadership capacity of our students. Role modelling becomes inherent in the Mentor system and older members of mentor group support younger members socially and academically. This structure also ensures that there are consistent connections for each student as they progress through to Year 12.
Our Mentor teachers work closely with the Deans of Students to monitor the academic, social and emotional journey of our students.
School Ruach:
There are a number of competitions throughout the school year that Mentor groups participate in as part of the larger House system:
- House Cultural Competition: Students compete weekly in a range of activities such as Debating, Chess, Engineering and Film making.
- Sporting Competitions: Swimming Carnival, Athletics Carnival and the Lightning Beach Carnival.
Students earn points towards their House for participation. At the end of the year, one House takes home the House shield based on the results across the range of competitions and Academic Merit.

NYC Gas Explosion: Catholic Charities Mobilizes Help
Posted on March 30, 2015 by Alice Kenny | Share
Catholic Charities mobilized to provide crucial help for victims of last week's gas explosion that leveled three buildings, immediately injuring nearly two dozen people and killing two more.
Staff from Catholic Charities Community Services along with staff from our affiliate, Nazareth Housing, teamed with fellow members of the "LES Ready" group to marshal help for those suffering from this March 26, 2015 disaster. The blast and ensuing blaze leveled 121 Second Avenue and two neighboring buildings, officials said. Along with the demolished apartment buildings, occupants of four other structures nearby are now reported to be under vacate orders.
LES Ready, also known as the Lower Eastside Long Term Recovery Group, initially formed to help residents of the Lower East Side of Manhattan after Hurricane Sandy pounded their neighborhood and destroyed their homes. After last Thursday's gas explosion, this coalition of community groups helped those hurt immediately after the disaster.
They will continue to provide help and services for the long haul as needs emerge.

Drop-Side Crib Recalls and Deaths Spur Law Proposal
And such is New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand's plan to get Congress to ban the now known-to-be dangerous drop-side cribs. Hopefully, the attention she's garnered through her proposal will serve to help remind all those out there who still have one of these at home that it might be time to trade in for another model.
As for the proposed law, it wouldn't do more than is already in the works -- and with the way Congress works, it wouldn't even be law quickly enough to overtake the ongoing actions by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and the industry itself.CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum has said repeatedly that a new standard (that's government-speak for the way things need to be made) will be in place by year's end that will forever change the way cribs are made. That includes no more drop-side cribs, whose hardware failures mostly at the hands of cheap imported models have been blamed in more than 30 deaths over the past nine years.
But drop-side cribs are functionally banned already. And the nation's biggest retailer of children's products, Toys R Us/Babies R Us, stopped selling them this year. And the new federal rules that are being developed include more than just a ban on the once ubiquitous -- now unacceptable -- basic of nursery furniture.
"The kind of rigorous testing that will be in the new standard will address all of the other problems with cribs," said Nancy Cowles, executive director of the advocacy group Kids In Danger.
Cowles, a mainstay in the safe-cribs movement, sees no harm in the Gilibrand bill -- just the positive that always comes with drawing attention to an issue that requires public attention. The senator's heart is in the right place and it's not the first time she's tried to give the issue of crib safety a boost. In April she reached out to Craigslist to try to have ads of a certain recalled crib pulled down.
It is illegal to resell a recalled product, but that hasn't stopped people from trying, either at yard sales or through such venues as Craigslist.
The CPSC has long struggled with reaching people who have had dangerous products in their home and either don't see warnings or ignore them for a variety of reasons.
And more drop-side recalls are on the way, CPSC officials told Consumer Ally. Already, some 7 million drop-side cribs have been involved in 11 recalls over the past five years.
So, thanks to Sen. Gilibrand for putting the issue on the table again. Going forward, the big challenge remains of how to get the old cribs out of circulation -- not in stopping new ones from being made.

Improving brain computer interface research through user involvement - The transformative potential of integrating civil society organisations in research projects
Research on Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) often aims to provide solutions for vulnerable populations, such as individuals with diseases, conditions or disabilities that keep them from using traditional interfaces. Such research thereby contributes to the public good. This contribution to the public good corresponds to a broader drive of research and funding policy that focuses on promoting beneficial societal impact. One way of achieving this is to engage with the public. In practical terms this can be done by integrating civil society organisations (CSOs) in research. The open question at the heart of this paper is whether and how such CSO integration can transform the research and contribute to the public good. To answer this question the paper describes five detailed qualitative case studies of research projects including CSOs. The paper finds that transformative impact of CSO integration is possible but by no means assured. It provides recommendations on how transformative impact can be promoted.

Santa Barbara street sign photographs and guest bedroom reveals
A few years ago, I came up with an idea to create custom art for a client's guest bedroom. Since the house was here in Santa Barbara, and the room was a guest room, I thought it would be fun to take photos of street signs that were iconic to Santa Barbara (Santa Barbara Street, Mission Street, California Street) and print, frame, and hang them ourselves.
Cute/fun/intriguing, right? But the project never got off the ground. Or, more to the point, neither the client nor I made the time to go around snapping street signs.
Fast forward five years later to the client who has
an open mind..
and an iPhone that takes very good photos!
And that is how my idea for custom Santa Barbara street sign photographs, to hang in a guest bedroom, finally came to fruition.
A guest room which began like this…
Well, not exactly like this. The first element to be ordered was the seagrass headboard which was prevented from having its true moment until we fixed up the rest of the room.
Which we did…
There was a bit of cajoling before I could convince her of the greatness of this nightstand from Pottery Barn, but the moment we placed it she agreed it added the right amount of world-traveler-whimsy to the space.
The other side of the bed…
And the other side of the room with a new lamp, pillows and accessories…
One day, or so I'm promised, we can reupholster that chair in an oatmeal shade of Belgian linen. For now, it got a pillow makeover. The orange table lamp was a super find as it tied in so nicely with the custom orange bolster pillow. PS, My client sewed all the pillows herself with fabric we selected from Your Remnant Store.
Not bad, eh?
Note: The street sign photos were taken on a regular ol' iPhone and printed in sepia at regular ol' Costco. We popped them into pre-fab frames from Aaron Brother's and…ta da…inexpensive, original art, ideal for a Santa Barbara guest bedroom was born!
Speaking of guest bedrooms, here's Guest Bedroom Number Two as I first saw it…
Not bad. It has that all-white bed thing going for it. But we could do better, so it was transformed into this…
The nightstands…
Opposite wall…
(More Santa Barbara-themed art, this time an old rendering of the Santa Barbara Mission.)
Notice the lighter version of the seagrass headboard that we used in the other bedroom and, my favorite part, the custom Euro pillows (Kravet fabric: Nashik/Bluemoon) that my client was happy to sew herself!
Here's to turning the ideas floating around in our heads into finished projects! 🙂
Happy weekend!

Historical Writings
Books by 'John Foxe'
The Book of Martyrs, by John Foxe, is an account of Christian martyrs throughout Western history from the first century through the early sixteenth centuries, emphasising the sufferings of English Protestants and proto-Protestants from the fourteenth century through the reign of Mary I. First published in 1563 by the Protestant John Day, the book was lavishly produced and illustrated with many woodcuts and was the largest publishing project undertaken in Britain up to that time. Commonly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs, one fuller title of the work is Actes and Monuments of these Latter and Perillous Days, Touching Matters of the Church. Widely owned and read by English Puritans, the book helped mould British popular opinion about the nature of Catholicism for several centuries.

The boys in the house (meaning Hubby, Pa and BIL Quintin) have been planning this past Saturday's fishing extravaganza since June. There are (were) two fishing competitions this month. One last weekend and again at the end of the month (add to that a trip to friends before baby, a hen/rump party this month and two weddings in October you get one already tired momma!)
Friday night at 7:30 Hubby decides to suggest that Liam and I go along for the day! Instead of leaving at 2 or 3 am like planned to head out, we would leave together at 6:30 am. Pa and Quintin would still leave early. It took a lot of internal debate to consider being out of the house at 6:30 on a Saturday but heck Liam is going to be awake at 5am anyways so why not!
After much running around the house, multiple trips to the bukkie to load everything, and excited/frantic double checks of all my "lists" we were loaded up and headed for the dam and 6:40 (not bad in my opinion!)
Liam loved it the moment we got there! Along the way we pass multiple 18-wheelers at which everyone of them receives a deafening, top of the lung scream "TRUCK!" Then we drive past a field full of cows which is deemed another necessary moment for the insights of a 20 month old. He feels desperately urged to inform me, "Momma, noo-noos!" This is said in a very sincere way as to make sure I understood what we were looking at!
As we come around the mountains and the dam is in view Liam is standing completely upright and jumping excitedly at all of the boats. Yes I agree there were many of them! Anything that moves is top notch in Liam's book!
We finally arrive at the water! The morning was crisp but seemed like the day was going to be okay. Liam is in high-heaven! I'm stretched out in a chair with my book in hand ready to enjoy a relaxing day and watch my son exhaust himself!
Daddy and Tannie Des coming in from the water!
Wouldn't you know it, the weather turns TERRIBLE! The wind starts picking up and the clouds roll in. Within two hours of being there I've layered Liam in just about every article of clothing I'd packed (which was summer clothing mostly!) and he is asleep on my lap under a blanket. Brendon and I decide to drive the 30 minutes home quickly and grab some more warm clothes (for us too) and come back. As we get into town, Pa phones to say it is absolutely freezing there by the water.
That sealed the deal and now we arrive at home and unload all of me and Liam's things as I prepare to spend a Saturday at home….boo! The day turned out somewhat productive. Sorted out more boxes from when we moved (a month ago!) and cleaned Liam's room. We watched DvDs and were able to play outside for a little while!
Unfortunately the boys came home empty handed that afternoon. But they enjoyed it! So that is a definite plus in our books! We load up again and head for the ovals. It is a race weekend and dear Hubby must work there as cars ALWAYS end up needing towed off the track! Another plus for Liam as again we're going to things that move! The weather had improved dramatically and this time I dressed him better ;-)
We leave a little over an hour before it ends as Liam is well exhausted now! As we drive out, Liam waves and calls "Bye bye tractor" to the poor tractor that wets the track!
The day wasn't as planned…there was no lounging in the sun…no letting Liam run wild in the free open space…and no afternoon naps for this pregnant momma but again my family never fails to put a smile on my face!

The Ranger
Director: Jenn Wexler
Writer: Giaco Furino, Jenn Wexler
Cast: Chloë Levine, Jeremy Holm, Granit Lahu, Jeremy Pope, Bubba Weiler, Amanda Grace Benitez, Jeté Laurence, Larry Fessenden
Part of: /slash Filmfestival
Seen on: 22.9.2018
Chelsea (Chloë Levine), Garth (Granit Lahu), Abe (Bubba Weiler), Jerk (Jeremy Pope) and Amber (Amanda Grace Benitez) are all at the same punk club when it gets raided by the police. The five of them make their escape together, but not before Garth actually stabs a police man to avoid getting caught with drugs on his person. Hoping to find refuge in the hunting cabin of Chelsea's family, they set out for the woods. Once there, a Park Ranger (Jeremy Holm) gets on their case.
The Ranger was a bit underwhelming, I have to admit. It just didn't really come together for me, although I did like the idea.Continue reading

(Burbank, CA � January 21, 2009) -- Multi-talented entertainer, author and radio personality Steve Harvey will become the new host of the daily, syndicated "Family Feud" when the long-running game show begins its 12th season next Fall, it was announced today by Cecile Frot-Coutaz, CEO of FremantleMedia North America, which produces the show.
"With his talent, authenticity and innate ability to connect with audiences from all walks of life, Steve exemplifies the spirit and appeal of 'Family Feud,'" said Frot-Coutaz in making the announcement. "We're thrilled to have him join our 'family' and look forward to him bringing his one-of-a-kind comedic style and personality to this beloved and legendary game show format."
"Steve Harvey is one of today's top comedians and a great addition to 'Family Feud'," said Ira Bernstein, co-president of distributor Debmar-Mercury. "He will be a great fit, leading this classic game show well into the future," added Debmar-Mercury Co-President, Mort Marcus.
Steve Harvey began his successful stand-up comedy career in the mid-80s, which led to a long stint as host of "It's Showtime at the Apollo," as well as multiple TV sitcoms, including "Me and The Boys" (ABC), "The Steve Harvey Show" (The WB) and "Steve Harvey Big Time Challenge" (The WB).
Throughout his television success, Harvey never lost sight of his true passion for stand-up comedy. In 1997, he went on tour as one of the successful "Kings of Comedy" alongside Cedric The Entertainer, the late Bernie Mac and D.L. Hughley, which led to the taping of one of the most successful comedy DVDs in history � "The Original Kings of Comedy" � directed by Spike Lee.
In 2006, Harvey released "Don't Trip� He Ain't Through With Me Yet," a family friendly DVD unlike anything he had ever done before, and "Still Trippin," for fans more used to his original, cutthroat, tell-it-like-it-is style of comedy.
Harvey also currently hosts his signature, syndicated radio talk show "Steve Harvey Morning Show," which is heard daily by over 7 million listeners in over 64 markets nationwide from 6-10 AM EST. The morning show has also allowed him to share relationship advice with his listeners through its "Strawberry Letter" segment, where he responds to relationship questions.
The overwhelming popularity of the "Strawberry Letter," led Harvey to write his first book entitled "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man" (Harper Collins), released on January 27, 2009. The widely-acclaimed, #1 New York Times Best-Seller is Harvey's ultimate personal guide to unlocking the male mind, understanding his game, anticipating his moves and countering with unstoppable offense and defense. With his signature straight-talking insight and encouragement, "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man" connected instantly with readers everywhere, selling over 1.7 million copies and selling worldwide in over 30 languages.
Harvey has appeared on numerous morning, talk, news and late night shows including "The Oprah Winfrey Show," "Nightline," "Good Morning America," "The Ellen Degeneres Show," "The Tyra Banks Show," "The Early Show," "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," "CNN" and "Larry King Live."
Taped in front of a live audience, "Family Feud" is produced by FremantleMedia North America and distributed by Debmar-Mercury. Gaby Johnston is executive producer. Jim Roush is executive in charge of production. Ken Fuchs is director.
FremantleMedia North America (FMNA) is the U.S. production division of global media giant FremantleMedia. Based in Burbank, California, FMNA produces entertaining and innovative programs for network, cable, syndicated and online platforms, including the Emmy-nominated musical/reality phenomenon "American Idol" (FOX), "America's Got Talent" (NBC), "Can You Duet" (CMT), "The Chilli Project" (MTV), "Secret Girlfriend" (Comedy Central), "Let's Make A Deal" (CBS), "Family Feud" (syndicated), and the longest-running game show in television history, "The Price Is Right" (CBS).

We are just planning to setup a data-center and deploy "openstack" as production environment. We just wanted to know what is the best architecture which suites the production environment, how high availability is achieved, etc.
It would be very good if we have any document/guide for installing latest openstack on production environment.
Thanks in Advance!!!

Science lacks diverse perspectives.
Cynthia Malone pushes for inclusivity in STEM fields.
Growing up in New York, Cynthia Malone had clear goals. "I had this vision of becoming the next Jane Goodall — the black Jane Goodall," she says. She earned a master's degree in conservation biology from Columbia University studying oil palm expansion and conflicts between humans and wildlife. Her fieldwork took her to the Solomon Islands, Indonesia, and Cameroon.
While working toward her degree, Black Lives Matter protests and viral videos of police brutality gripped the country. So she got involved. Malone began working with Columbia's graduate students of color and Black Youth Project 100, a youth-led organization that coordinates direct action and political education. She also cofounded the Diversity Committee at the Society for Conservation Biology. Her goal there is to make human diversity in the sciences as important as biological diversity.
Malone is headed into a Ph.D. at University of Toronto studying neocolonialism and who gets a seat at the table in conservation decisions. She's also building a network of environmental scholars of color and activists to "think through what a decolonized conservation science would look like." In other words: create a new, more equitable vision for the future of science.
The world feels pretty broken right now. That's why we need Fixers — bold problem solvers working toward a planet that doesn't burn and a future that doesn't suck. For our annual list of emerging green leaders, Grist brings you 50 innovators with fresh, forward-thinking solutions to some of humanity's biggest challenges. Credits

flump wears underwear on head during burglary
This game is INSANELY good! I tried solving puzzles as fast as I could in the sandbox, The Disruptors are in a good position, I tried running around hoping not to get caught. I used the pause glitch too so the effect goes away:]In the end I died at the lava pit where the key was supposed to be there, but I messed up XD. This game was nicely done I'd rate this a IIIII/IIIII imo.
Updated to increase the time limit to 2:45 and give a little more health because Mat is bad
Lol. I almost beat it without the changes
It's annoying because I can consistently beat it sub 2 minutes and a perfect run is probably about 1:45 so I thought by having that and a sandbox version I was giving a lot of leeway
Now featured by Mat. Only 8 to go until I catch Check
What's not nice is that Mat beat it in 2:20 after I upped the time limit for him
