Science Experiments You Can Conduct On Your Dog/
Pure science requires that measurements be made to exacting degrees of certainty. Dogs are often called on, for the most part unwillingly, to participate in man's quest for progress. Just ask any pharmaceutical or chemical weapons manufacturer. Being civic-minded to a fault, Roo has volunteered to do her part. Here are some of her recent findings.
1. Psychology: Correlative study to determine dog intelligence in terms of human age
An opinion has been developing in the scientific community that dogs possess an intelligence roughly equal to that of a human two-year-old. Roo has always scoffed at that so-called "science," which is in her view as laughable as the old human chestnut about the planet being round. Consequently, Roo designed the following experiment to demonstrate her contention that the truth is different by orders of magnitude (especially when calculated in dog years):
This is proof positive that, because it is not until approximately Second Grade when some boy finds out how much he can gross out his classmates by eating his boogers, the intellectual capacity of dogs is at least equal to that of an eight-year-old human.
2. Anatomy: Calibrated Tongue Length Measurement in Dogs
No matter how much experience a person has with dogs, there always comes a time when the length to which a dog can extend his or her tongue appears to exceed that which can be believed by the observer. This, in turn, mandates the precise quantification of tongue length. Everything you need for finely calibrated tongue-extension measurements is already in your home.
Once your subject has completed their portion of the experiment, all that is left is for you to take your samples back to the laboratory to complete the measurements and correlate the data. It will be sufficient for most purposes to be accurate to the nearest millimeter. Anything more granular than that will be difficult because of Heisenberg Uncertainty effects, which, on the quantum scale, are accelerated in any home with a dog, as no place has ever been shown by science to be small enough not to contain dog hair, one of the fundamental building blocks of the universe.
3. Physics: Thermoconducting properties of the dog tongue
Admittedly, this particular experiment does not yield any scientific data of great value, but it can be a useful tool for teaching the principles of thermoconductivity to small children in the hopes that they might become a bit more high-minded than that booger-eater sitting next to them in Home Room. Again, everything you need for this experiment can be found in your home laboratory.
Place the child's hand underneath the cool stainless steel bowl, and ask them to note any changes in temperature caused by the action of the dog's tongue. Be sure to differentiate thermoconductivity from friction.

How using your dog's bomb-sniffing capabilities can help save you $40 on your next trip to the Quik-Lube.

it would be a great opportunity for me,
but if I don't get it,
it's not important because my goal is not to
get Nobel Peace Prize, my goal is to get peace
and my goal is to see the education of every child.
- Malala Yousafzai
I love this girl.
I have nothing but respect and love
for someone so young,
so dedicated and so brave.
Unless you live under a rock,
you know that Malala was shot in the head
by the Taliban in October 2012,
on her way home from school.
She was shot - and survived.
on the importance of education for girls.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 -
the youngest person to ever received the award.
This was painted rather quickly,
acrylic on paper
but i plan on doing a painting of her
on a large canvas eventually.
Can you imaging being so brave?
I can't.
I have nothing but admiration
for those who recognize when things are wrong
and try to make them right.
for me lately.
I started working again.
Same place, same work,
but NOT ON THE PHONES.
When they called me,
I did some serious weighing of options,
the pros and cons of going back there,
but in the end, I said yes,
and I think this time will be different.
First of all,
did I mention I was not on the phones? ;)
I set my own hours,
so i'll be working 7:30am to 3:30pm
(instead of 9 to 5 and sometimes 10 to 6pm!)
and the contract ends on July 21st,
so i get the tail end of summer
and the joy of being here for the fall.
it cracked me up.
Especially the "ME" in the middle doing yoga. :)
(No, that's not my body. It's a cut & paste)
Seeing it again actually made me
want to do another one.
And I was a bit surprised at how many things
were actually part of my life.
And I believe that one of the reasons
why I don't feel so depressed this time
about having to go back to a job
that doesn't fulfill me in any way
other than the paycheque -
is because of the yoga & meditation.
It's helping me develop a bit more patience
and tolerance and acceptance.
Kinda like what prayer does
for a lot of people. :)
And of course,
knowing that it's temporary helps too.
So I bought myself some new Sketchers
(no high heels for this girl)
and off to work I went!
David Letterman used to stack all his coffee cups
after every one of his shows.
As you can see - it's a wall of cups.
Maybe I'll do this at work -
like a lifer in prison counting his days
with chalk on the walls. ;)
I know one thing.
I won't let that place get to me
the way it did last year.
The sun is shining
and every little thing
is gonna be alright.

There are times in our lives when it feels as if the cup falls from our hands and to our sorrow we see it crack or break. For some this could be dealing with disappointment, job loss, disability, injustice, betrayal and for others it could be loss or trauma. It was in a time like that in my own life where God taught me some really precious things that allowed me to see Jesus even more clearly than I had ever seen Him before …
as the master potter, craftsman and mender of my own heart.
It was 4 years ago for me when I watched in slow motion as the beautiful cup that I treasured slowly fell and broke into what seemed to me like thousands of broken shards. My husband and I walked through what we thought was unthinkable … the loss of our precious little boy. Negotiating the pain of our own loss and the added hurt of seeing the loss and pain of our 2 little girls broke our hearts. But what I came to experience was a journey and a legacy that precious Jesus had entrusted to us … a journey of heart healing and renewed hope … so the cup that I speak to you of today is actually the cup of hope and the beauty that can shine even in the hearts of those who have needed to be lovingly repaired by the Heart-Mender … our beloved Potter … Jesus Christ.
What we have personally come to realise and see in our journey of brokenness and heart-healing is the tender picture of Jesus being so completely committed to a journey of intimate care, kindness, tenderness and patience. He showed me so personally how He was willing to meet me in the broken heap that I lay … and no-matter-how-long-it-would-take, He would sit there with me in tenderness and comfort and show me His ability to find every missing piece and mend my heart and that of each of our children and my husband. It was in this time of loss for us that He showed each of us individually how committed He is to the journey of heart healing. Our little boy had died from a severe series of heart defects, and we had prayed fervently for heart healing … but what God showed us as we stopped fixating on the "WHY" was that He had gathered every prayer we had prayed for heart healing and He was moving in those very same prayers to heal our broken hearts and the precious hurting hearts that He would bring our way to share our story of hope. My little boy Zac has given me the most treasured gift that I will always be grateful for … He showed me how to truly see that Jesus stands closest to the broken-hearted - always there to love and restore. He gave to each of us in our family the gift of becoming eternity minded … and His life and story has given us the greatest privilege of being able to comfort others when their hearts have shattered through child-loss by introducing them to the God of all comfort.
Yes the cup looks different than it did before, and in the journey of loss and grief it is important to acknowledge and accept that, but when you allow Him to give you a glimpse of what He is recreating with those broken pieces … it can take your breath away. You see, where we see the gaps and cracks in what is being pieced back together, He sees how beautiful that vessel becomes in allowing His light and glory to shine through. Where we focus in on why it has to be different than before … He is still at work with a plan to fill those empty gaps with gold and splendour through His healing balm and anointing. As we yield to the process of heart healing of any kind, He brings out a gold that we never had before … the reflection of His tender heart of compassion. All that He needs to begin this beautiful work, is an invitation into your pain or disappointment. He will amaze you in revealing to you how He is able to redeem and restore as our Great Redeemer.
The picture I want to leave you with is the Japanese art of mending broken ceramics. It's called "kintsugi" which means "golden joinery". The story of kintsugi began in the late 15th century when an artist was sent a damaged Chinese tea bowl back to China to be fixed. What he accomplished inspired this art form so much so that some people were accused of breaking prized ceramics just to have them mended back together in gold. There are beautiful art collections of these pieced back together ceramics. In fact I read that some of these art pieces are deliberately and carefully chosen for the deformity it has acquired in a badly heated kiln, then deliberately broken and repaired. A pot that would normally have been trashed is recognised as the perfect background for work in precious kintsugi with gold.
If God could inspire this beautiful art form of golden restoration, how much more magnificent the masterpiece He is recreating in our hearts and lives after any form of disappointment or brokenness. For those of you with hurting hearts today, may you glimpse the beautiful cup of hope that God has in exchange for you. Where you may only see devastation, He sees a story of restoration! May we glimpse together that golden mended cup that emanates His glory and beauty.

Social media is all the rage (and has been for many years now). And understandably so.
Public relations, marketing, and advertising have been impacted greatly by Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google+.
What has social media done to email usage? Well, check out the infographic below.
Email still appears to be the king of the hill. Maybe it is because there is a deeper pre-existing relationship with those being communicated with (when compared to social media and "following" people on Twitter or "liking their fan page on Facebook).
What do you think are the reasons email still dwarfs social media in many favorable categories?

MannionDaniels presents at the Pasteur Institute in Paris
Friday, November 21st, 2014
MannionDaniels was invited to lead a half-day session for masters' students studying on the Global Health course at the Pasteur Institute in Paris. The title of the session was 'Global Health in Conflict Zones: the example of Somalia'.
Clea Knight from the MannionDaniels technical team led the session which focussed on the importance of aid effectiveness, conflict sensitivity and an active civil society in fragile and conflict affected states. Clea drew on three case studies from recent work that she has been involved in with MannionDaniels in Somalia: supporting the Health Authorities to develop their first health sector strategic plans for Somalia; undertaking a Conflict and Needs Appraisal in Kismayo; and developing a country profile on female genital mutilation in Somalia.
Kismayo: conflict dynamics and priority development needs
Thursday, May 29th, 2014
MannionDaniels and Mogadishu University undertook a Conflict and Needs Appraisal of the then-recently liberated communities in Kismayo, a seaport in the Jubba Region of Southern Somalia (2013-2014). The analysis of conflict and emerging needs in Kismayo sought to identify political, security and development opportunities upon which to build future community-driven development initiatives which will ultimately contribute to peace-building and stabilization efforts in the region. It provided a comprehensive understanding of local conflict dynamics, gender, minority groups and social exclusion issues, and identified local civil society and non-state actors. This was probably the first time an exclusively conflict and development focused research was undertaken in Kismayo since the establishment of the Interim Jubba Administration (IJA).
The research was funded by the Somalia Stability Fund whose objectives are to support representative and responsive local governance and to support the resolution and mitigation of conflicts. The initiative was undertaken by MannionDaniels in partnership with Mogadishu University, drawing on technical expertise in research, conflict analysis, and programme implementation from MannionDaniels, and the experience of operating in conflict affected areas in Somalia from Mogadishu University. Mogadishu University came with the added valuable resource of young educated Somali graduates keen to participate in this initiative. Capacity building of these graduates forms one of the key project outputs.
The historical context of Kismayo is one of rich culture and economic prosperity due to its strategic coastal location providing access to Somalia's most fertile lands. However the area has become the epicentre of a series of conflicts and the economic and security benefits that come with control of the seaport of Kismayo has made the area one of the most complex urban spaces in Africa.
Respondents consisted of 150 'Primary', 'Intermediary' and 'Key' beneficiary groups of whom 106 (71%) were men and 44 (29%) were women:
- 'Primary' stakeholders consisted of women, youth, agro-pastoralists, fishermen and indigenous inhabitants such as the Bantu, settlers known as the Bajoon and Somali Arabs. This primary group represents the greatest distribution of men and women stakeholders;
- 'Intermediary' stakeholders consisted of service providers, NGO's and the business community;
- 'Key' stakeholders who solely consisted of the Interim Juba Administration.
The MannionDaniels team was led by Clea Knight, with strategic and operational inputs from David Daniels, Catherine Ainsworth, and Ahmed Muhumad. Dr Poonam Thapa, an MD Associate, provided expertise in the field of Qualitative Research , supporting the MU team, led by Dr Shariff Osman. The findings from this work are intended to serve as a public good for those wishing to work in Kismayo, including but not limited to the Stability Fund.
Somalia: Supporting improvement of Health Management Information System
Thursday, May 29th, 2014
MannionDaniels worked with UNICEF Somalia, with support from Round 10 of the Global Fund's malaria grant to Somalia, to support the three Health Authorities to strengthen the Somali Health Management Information System (HMIS). The first phase of this work ran from October 2013 to June 2014.
The existing HMIS was developed largely to respond to the information needs of UNICEF and WHO as the main supporters of the public health system in Somalia. Given the context in which the HMIS was designed this was entirely appropriate. Critical interventions such as immunization, nutrition, and disease outbreaks, such as measles, required on-going monitoring to provide UNICEF and WHO with the evidence base for making investment decisions and for assessing the progress and impact of its support. However, with the gradual improvement of the health sector, the growing capacity of the Health Authorities in the three Zones to lead future improvements, and a growing diversity of support from international donors, what was needed was a national HMIS capable of supporting day-to-day management, long-term planning, and policy development for the entire national health system.
MannionDaniels was therefore contracted by UNICEF to support the three Somali Health Authorities to strengthen the existing system so as to respond to the growing data needs of the fast-growing Somali health sector. The first phase of this support focussed on delivering the following outputs:
An Assessment of the current HMIS, undertaken by the Health Authorities with technical oversight from MannionDaniels. The process was participative, engaging stakeholders from across all three zones of Somalia and from a range of sectors to critically assess the strengths and weaknesses of the existing HMIS, and to discuss requirements for its development.
- Design of a new HMIS Database. This activity involved assessing existing hardware and software systems as well as capacities of core HMIS personnel who will be involved in operating the database so as to design a system appropriate to the Somali context. The process of health facility registration is now complete and all government health facilities are registered onto the database. Training of key personnel has been undertaken and a manual has been produced and disseminated.
- Review and updating of the Routine Indicator List to be used in the new HMIS. This involved a series of consultations with various health sector stakeholders so as to generate consensus on the indicators included on the list. The final lists were endorsed by the Director General's in each Health Authority.
Development of a curriculum and accompanying course guide for the training of health professionals in the basic principles of health management information systems in the context of the Somali HMIS. The course includes the following modules: Setting the Scene, Results Based Management, Collecting Data, Transforming Data into Information, Indicators, Presenting Information, Using Information, and The Somali HMIS.
Female Genital Mutilation / Cutting (FGM/C) Social Change Campaign: Technical appraisals in Somalia and Sudan
Tuesday, May 27th, 2014
MannionDaniels is working with a consortium of partners led by Options Consultancy to implement the DFID-funded programme 'Towards Ending Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) in Africa and Beyond'. This is a social change campaign aimed at increasing momentum within Africa to end FGM/C through catalysing a global movement. The campaign will use a wide range of social communications approaches at multiple levels:
- Globally, it will mobilise a critical mass of people, organisations and networks as part of a powerful and united global movement to end FGM/C
- It will raise financial resources to end FGM/C and promote increased political will to tackle the issue
- Across Africa, it will support a network of grassroots activists to create a critical mass speaking out for change and supporting social change in communities to end FGM/C
- Within ten focal countries, it will strengthen and support national coalitions against FGM/C, resourcing them with communications expertise and products for social change and accountability
- Working with the diaspora, it will mobilise people to contribute skills and resources to support efforts to end FGM/C in their countries of origin
During the inception phase, MannionDaniels provided technical inputs to the design of the campaign focussing on Somalia and Sudan. Country Technical Appraisals for Sudan and Somalia were led by MD Public Health Specialist Clea Knight ,with support from MD consultant Una MacAskill on the Somalia appraisal.
The purpose of the Country Technical Appraisals is to ensure that the design of the End FGM/C Social Change Campaign is built on a sound foundation of evidence; knowledge of existing actors, initiatives and context; and national priorities across focal countries. The appraisals included three main elements:
- Consultation with stakeholders to share ideas, challenges and priorities in the design of the global End FGM/C Social Change Campaign. For Somalia, a year one focal country, the consultation aimed to identify catalytic social change communications strategies and activities.
- Mapping of key national and local organisations and actors; coordination, policy and legal frameworks; and the communications landscape.
- Political economy analysis, particularly in relation to FGM/C and violence against women and girls more broadly.
Further inputs into the campaign Do No Harm Strategy and M&E Framework will be provided by the MannionDaniels team in the future.
Better data for the Somali Health System
Friday, November 8th, 2013
UNICEF, acting as the Principal Recipient of the Global Fund's support for malaria in Somalia, has awarded a contract to MannionDaniels to support the development of the country's unified Health Management Information system, HMIS.
Phase 1 of the assignment will last until March 2014 and result in a new database design for the HMIS, an agreed indicator list and a curriculum for health workers who are involved in data entry and use. We will give support to the Zonal Health Authorities to use to the HMIS for better decision-making. Ashraf Mohad will lead the work in Somalia. Ashraf served as the Director of the Health Management Information System Unit in the Ministry of Public Health, Kabul, Afghanistan from 2005 to 2010.

Striker Lee Angol will be part of a very experienced Mansfield Town side for tonight's friendly at NCEL Premier Division neighbours Clipstone (7pm).
Stags boss Steve Evans agreed to send a side up to help raise money for the Cobras after they were hit with £2,000 of damage by vandals at the Worksop Van Hire Stadium last month.
Angol is on his way back from injury and Evans hopes he and several others use tonight's match to press their claims for a place in Sunday's FA Cup home clash with Guiseley.
"It will be a good side tonight with lots of lads who have played League football last season and this season," said Evans.
"Like in the Checkatrade Trophy, players tonight are going to get a wonderful opportunity to play in the FA Cup on Sunday – the most magical cup competition in world football.
"There will be the likes of Pearce, Mirfin, Digby, Atkinson, Butcher, Angol, Sterling-James, Anderson, Hamilton, and Potter.
"I will use it purely for minutes, competitive action, and giving players the opportunity to be selected on Sunday.
"You look at the likes of David Mirfin, who has just come back from injury, he's trained really well all week, but nothing beats a game.
"Krystian Pearce was our best player for five or six games leading up to his suspension and he's lost his position in the team to Diamond and Bennett.
"Mal Benning – what an opportunity to stake a claim for Sunday. He has trained really, really well the last few days.
"Lee Angol will probably play no more than 30 minutes, 45 maximum. But, again, he has trained for four or five days.
"Paul Anderson's last appearance was at Port Vale where he was excellent in a 4-0 win."
Evans was delighted to be able to help the Cobras in their plight.
"It's a local club that suffered an act that is not what we are all about in and around Mansfield so we're going to try to help them," he said.
"Any Stags fans around tonight - it's an opportunity to see what will be a League Two team every day of the week if not higher.
"Come along and see it, enjoy it, and I am sure the lads at Clipstone will treat it the way we should. It should be a good evening.
"It's a 7pm kick-off so don't be turning up at 7.45 as you'll have missed the first half."
One player who won't be risked tonight is striker Kane Hemmings, who missed Saturday's 2-2 draw with Chesterfield.
"We are hoping he will be fit for Sunday, but he won't play tonight," said Evans.
"We are expecting him back into training on Friday. I don't think there is any doubt we missed Kane on Saturday against Chesterfield.
"He led the line with some real guile and expertise at Port Vale and Stevenage and he's had a good little run of form in finding the net.
"When you're in that run of form you want to be playing.
"But a few fibres in his calf were stretched and tight and we just can't take a risk with him. You run the risk of being out for six weeks and not six days. But he has a really good chance for Sunday."

Wireless industry representatives applauded the decision of the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals last Friday to reject a legal challenge brought by local governments against FCC wireless infrastructure rules that prescribe a 60-day "shot clock" for municipal approval of most wireless tower modifications before such applications are "deemed granted" by default.
At the heart of the court's case are FCC rules implementing Section 6409(a) of the 2012 Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act, which specifies that "a state or local government may not deny, and shall approve, any eligible facilities request for a modification of an existing wireless tower or base station that does not substantially change the physical dimensions of such tower or base station." In addition to claiming that the rules would speed the introduction of wireless broadband services nationwide, the FCC and its supporters contend that the October 2014 order containing the rules fulfills the intent of Congress by removing unreasonable obstacles to broadband facility deployment. Nevertheless, local government petitioners that include Montgomery County, Maryland, the California cities of Los Angeles, Ontario and San Jose, and the Texas Coalition of Cities for Utility Issues advised the court that the FCC order "conscripts the states" to act on wireless facility modifications in violation of the Tenth Amendment. As they characterized the "deemed granted" portion of the rules as "direct regulation of the conduct of the locality's legislative power, which the Tenth Amendment prohibits," the petitioners argued that the FCC's order "unreasonably defines several terms of" Section 6409(a).
The three-judge panel determined, however, that the tower modification procedure prescribed by the FCC "comports with the Tenth Amendment" insofar as the agency's order "does not require the states to take any action at all, because the 'deemed granted' remedy obviates the need for the states to affirmatively approve applications." Observing that the purpose of Section 6409(a) "is to bar the states from interfering with the expansion of wireless networks" by prohibiting local government denial of "facility modification applications that meet certain standards," the judges reasoned that the FCC order "does no more than implement the statute." Although FCC officials declined comment, Scott Bergmann, the vice president of regulatory affairs for wireless association CTIA, praised the ruling as one that "will bring certainty and uniformity to broadband permitting decisions, bolstering the economic and social benefits that broadband brings to communities across the nation."

Careering into view like a raging typhoon, female-fronted Leeds based Chasing Dragons released their new record, 'Checkmate' on 2nd June via Trash Unreal Management. Produced, mixed and mastered by Lee Batiuk (Deaf Havana); it's a sprawling beast that incorporates frenetic post-hardcore burst of penetrating guitars, thunderous vocals and a titan-esque rhythm section; all which entwine with moments of alt-metal, hard rock with a defining punk undercurrent.
Unafraid to step outside their realms of metal riffery, the beautiful 'Prelude' opens with whispers and gently tip-toes showcasing vocalist Tank's ability to lull you in, gain your trust and from there she softly directs you throughout the chaos that ensues around her. Thunder crashes, drums menacingly approach and the guitar marches along with an ill meaning intent before it launches you headlong into the full throttle rock of 'Throw Down Your King'. It whips you on a journey fused with thick molten riffs dripping with an underlining harmony which then slips into a moment of soft melancholia – a blink of an eye and its gone and back into a juggernaut of ear-worming Avenged Sevenfold-esque hooks.
The arousing 'That's Not Love' see's Tanks rasping vocals spit with defiance and almost blues undertones as the shot-gun drumming, frantic bass lines and unrelenting guitar pushes it to the limit as 'For the Sake of Murder' swaggers in; Tank again with teasing sense of mischief is surrounded by a cacophony of rage, defiance and riffs so meaty it could move mountains. Proving they can sweep between pace and tone with effortless ease 'The Last Defence' is a haunting piano led epic of Hollywood proportions. It reaches deep inside, grabs your heart and soul and rouses you to stand up and be counted; do not be bound, do not be tied town – fight and fight to survive. You. Are. The. Last. Defence they roar. Final track 'Broken Jaws' shows what Chasing Dragons do best and that is unrelenting, rocket fuelled rock and roll that you can see Lemmy tipping his Stetson to in approval in the distance somewhere.
Drawing comparisons to Iron Maiden, Avenged Sevenfold, AFI and Aiden, Chasing Dragons are coming out of the traps making some noise and having already shared stages with Pendulum, InMe, Death Angel, The Sweet and Fearless Vampire Killers amongst others, 'Checkmate' is a real statement of intent. And they intend to grab you by the throat.
Chasing Dragons are: Laurie 'Tank' Carnan (Vocals) / Mitch Sadler (Guitar/Vocals) / Katie Bullock (Drums) and Ant Varenne (Bass/Vocals)

This article reviews the changing nature of contemporary tourism and sociological approaches to its study. We examine the broad social trends and specific historical events that recently affected tourism and discuss how the focus of sociological inquiry in tourism studies shifted from earlier discourses of authenticity and the tourist gaze to three novel theoretical approaches, the mobilities "paradigm", the performativity approach and actor-network theory (ANT), which each reflect a broader meta-theoretical re-orientation in contemporary philosophy and sociology. We appraise these conceptual developments and discuss their limitations. We then identify several current research issues as important areas for problem-oriented work at the intersections of tourism and contemporary society: social justice, environmental sustainability, natural disasters, terrorism, heritage, embodiment and affect, and mediatization.

Peter Clarke and his Team ran the 'Red Hot' through the 2000 Season.
The machine was imported from the USA from Ed Clock, and was run for the first time in the Ahoy' Stadium, Rotterdam. Making a Full Pull, the machine threw a rod out the side of the motorblock in the Pull Off. Little did the team know that was to be the first of many!!!
However, Red Hot also earned some good sucess, taking second place in the Prostock Cup , including victories in Bernay, France andf Horby, Sweden. With technical problems at the EC in Herning Peter managed only a 4th place.
The Red Hot was sold at the end of 2000 to Lucien Keulers from the Netherlands, and was renamed 'Too Hot to Handle.' It has since been sold again to a team in Finland.

Highline, The Huffington Post's newly-launched longform channel, reached out to me to work closely with their senior editors and development team to help craft their brand identity. This consisted of conceptualizing and art directing their front-end content, including working closely with Code&Theory on how the site would be executed across multiple platforms.
The initial process consisted of creating a brand identity that had to be elevated and inviting, yet not too full of itself. Our goal was to create a brand mark that showcased "big ideas within the Huffington Post realm."
I wanted to keep the correlation between HIGHLINE and Huffington Post unique, yet closely linked. Therefore a cube-like shape was imagined, one that evokes an idea of space. Included was their trademark "H," which is displayed as The Huffington Post's icon.
Once the design and development were in order, I reached out to photographer Maciek Jasik to capture imagery for our first longform story, which was on possibly the nation's fastest and youngest runner, Amaris Tyynissma. She faces the daily challenge of having Tourrette Syndrome, and it is through this constant battle with her body that she triggers a very unique talent--running at the speed of light. It helps her disconnect from the syndrome by means of a physical feat that leaves many onlookers with their jaws on the floor.

Sample Letter for Resignation During or After Maternity Leave
Do you wish to resign rather than return to work after maternity leave? For many mothers (or aspiring stay-at-home fathers), the first few months after the birth of a child have a way of reorienting one's priorities. A U.S. Census published in 2011 reported that one out of five mothers leaves the workforce either before or after giving birth.
There are several reasons why you might decide to quit your job during maternity leave or afterward. You may feel sleep-deprived and overwhelmed even as you're over-the-moon joyous, wondering how you are ever going to balance the conflicting responsibilities of parenthood and your job. Your salary might not be enough to finance the childcare costs you'd incur should you return to work. Or, you may simply have realized that there's nowhere you would rather be than at home with your child or children.
If, after evaluating the pros and cons of quitting your job, you've decided that's the best path to take, you can customize this resignation letter example to announce your decision to your employer. If you prefer to use email, see what to include in an email message to resign while you are on maternity leave.
Resigning While You Are on Maternity Leave
Quitting during your maternity leave presents a logistical challenge. Since you are not in the office, an in-person conversation may not be possible, and you may need to resign over email or send a printed letter. Even if you tell your boss through a phone call that you plan to resign, you will still probably need to formalize your resignation with a written communication.
In general, resignation letters are best kept short. This holds true for resigning during maternity leave, too. The most important information to communicate is:
- Your official last day with the company
- Why you are resigning
- Any help you want to offer during the transition
- A thank-you to the manager and company
Resignation Do's and Don'ts: You've decided to resign, but what else do you have to do (or not do) that you might not have considered when you went on maternity leave? Did you remember to clean up your desk and computer? What about insurance and benefits?

Dear Ms. Manager,
Please accept my resignation effective September 30, 2018. As you know, I had my second child in August, and I have decided that I will not be returning to work after my maternity leave. I plan on staying home with my children for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for your understanding. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance during this transitional time. I am available over (phone, email) and would also be happy to come into the office for a day to pass off any contacts, emails, or information that you need.

It's been a pleasure working with you and being part of ABC Company. I have learned so much during my four years working here.
Please let me know if I can offer any help during this transitional time – I am available over email, and would also be happy to come into the office for a day to pass off any contacts, emails, or information that you need.

Los Angeles Lakers players and staff look forward to fighting for playoff spot after season ending injury to star Kobe Bryant.
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES. (APRIL 13, 2013)(NBC) - Kobe Bryant's season is over after he suffered an Achilles tendon injury late Friday (April 12) night, forcing the Los Angeles Lakers to move on without their star player.
Bryant's Achilles tendon was torn the entire way through and will require several months of tough rehabilitation.
"It's gone, it has to be sewn back together," team athletic trainer Gary Vitti said.
He will miss any playoff action for the Lakers, if they can hang on to the final berth in the Western Conference.
"Last night's injury certainly is another setback, devastating in it's own way but I've got complete confidence that this group can win the next two games and get in the playoffs," Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak told the media after a morning practice Saturday.
The Lakers have recovered from a poor start to the season to push themselves into playoff contention but their chances of making an impact will be sorely hurt by the loss of their leading player.
"It's part of the game, we hate it, hate it for Kobe," Lakers head coach Mike D'Antoni told reporters. "We got to move on and we got a big game tomorrow and we're going to come out fighting and see if we can get in the playoffs."
Usual recovery time for this type is injury is six to nine months and with the start of next season just under six months away Lakers forward Pau Gasol was asked whether Bryant could be ready to play.
"If one person can overcome this and get away with this healthy and come back strong it's Kobe, his will and determination are way beyond normal," Gasol replied. "I think he has the best chance to come back healthy and ready to play because I know he does not want to go out like this."

Estimated dispatch within 1 working day.
Used for many types of minor problems, but especially useful for smelly ears, particularly those with a discharge and accompanied by a strong smell. They are also used to soften, help prevent and slow down the formation of tartar on the teeth.
Administration Guidelines
The administration size is always the same for any size or breed of animal but the frequency of administration varies according to the condition being treated - Give one every 2 hours for up to 6 hours, then reduce to one 4 times per day for 7 – 10 days or until symptoms disappear. For persistent problems this may be repeated monthly if required. It is preferable, but not essential, to avoid giving homeopathic substances within 15 minutes of food or drink. Having taken advice from today's foremost homeopathic vets, we are pleased to be able to reassure clients that there is no need to discontinue giving garlic in any form while also giving homeopathic substances.
Each dispenser contains approximately 100 pillules and is unique as it enables the tiny pillules to be administered straight into the mouth of the animal without being touched by the hand, as this should be avoided when giving homeopathic substances.
All prices include VAT where applicable.

Gratitude journal: A ticket and a kaleidoscope/
I forgot to write a gratitude journal last night, so this post will include things from yesterday and today. Yesterday, I was grateful for my Patriots season ticket, which I hung around my neck as I emptied my rental car and returned it to Enterprise. The woman at the counter saw the ticket dangling from its plastic sheath and asked if I had attended the game on Sunday.
Five minutes later she told me that she was giving me a 25% discount on the cost of the rental.
"Patriots fans need to stick together," she explained.
I was then driven to Pep Boys by another Enterprise employee who was also a Patriots fan. We talked about the game for the entire ride.
When I arrived at Pep Boys, I was met by the manager who I had been coordinating my repairs for the past several days. The job was two days overdue, and he knew that the delay had been forced to rent the car in order to attend the Patriots game on Sunday. He is also a Patriots fan, and after chatting with him about the game for fifteen minutes, he reduced my $2,300 head gasket repair bill by more than $400.
When his boss asked him about the reason for such a large discount, he said, "Customer satisfaction. And he's a Patriots fan."
Season tickets aren't cheap, but they saved me a lot of money yesterday. In fact, they made up for almost half their cost.
Tonight I am grateful for my daughter's love of her kaleidoscopes.
Clara listens to recorded books, uses an iPhone and iPad with surprising ease and even pounds away on our keyboards from time to time, but she is still mesmerized by something as simple as a kaleidoscope.
A good reminder of the simple pleasures of life.

Happy Holidays! I'm not sure if you've noticed, but the Christmas tree is already up at your favorite shopping establishment and I've already heard "Here Comes Santa Claus" at least four times. Holiday parties are going to be here before you know it, so I've put together four looks from The Promenade at Chenal to get you inspired for your festive wear this year.
First up - casual party wear. Whether you're looking for something festive for Thanksgiving or attending a casual afternoon gift exchange, I've got a couple of ideas for putting together a fun outfit.
My adorable model Amy is wearing this fun little outfit from White House | Black Market. I love the white on white for winter and the sparkles give it just enough bling to make it festive! The best part - the pants have little black polka dots on them. Absolutely adorable.
Vest, top, and pants from White House | Black Market. Jewelry from Belle & Blush. Shoes, DSW.
If you're looking for something that's as comfortable as it is cute, fabulous Elizabeth is wearing a green top from W By Azwell with leather feel leggings and cozy boots from Warren's. The best part of this top is definitely the bow in the back - you'll light up the room when you enter, and make a statement as you leave. Also - how fabulous is her fun bag from Belle & Blush? I'm slightly obsessed.
Top and leggings, W by Azwell. Boots, Warren's. Jewelry and bag, Belle & Blush.
One of my favorite things about the season is dressing up for holiday parties. The little black dress is a classic choice - and anything red is definitely going to get you in the spirit, but I chose a few fun pieces that are outside of the norm to make you stand out.
This skirt from Francesca's was an INSTANT hit. Everyone was stopping Elizabeth and asking her about it! The fringe is light and moves like feathers, and the blue in the top is really striking. She bought the skirt after the shoot, and I'm pretty sure I'll be going back to pick up one for myself. We completed the look with some fabulous leopard pumps and edgy accessories.
Skirt and top, Francesca's. Shoes, DSW. Clutch and jewelry, Belle & Blush.
When I first saw this dress, I couldn't get it out of my mind. I love a flirty little shift and this one just demanded some great booties and a bold lip. We made it a little more playful by adding pink tights.
Dress, Apricot Lane. Booties, DSW. Jewelry and clutch, Belle & Blush.
And a great party look isn't complete without a fresh face - Belle & Blush did an amazing job glamming up our girls' make up. They actually do makeovers in the store for all sorts of events, so consider giving them a call to schedule an appointment for your next night out.

Here we are again, it is the end of the summer and fall is coming on strong and will be here before you know it. In a lot of the USA that means hunting seasons are beginning or are soon to begin. I do the great majority of my hunting in October through November but may get some squirrel hunting done before this month is up. The thing is though, I won't be able to shoot a darned thing unless I get to the range soon to sight in the two rifles on which I just mounted scopes. I need to give myself a good kick in the pants to get myself going sometimes but I figure I am doing okay this year since I already scoped them. I would have gone to sight them in this coming weekend but for the fact I am flying down to West Palm Beach in FL tomorrow for several days. I figure that on the weekend following my return, Brendan and I will be at the range on Saturday.
You ought to be figuring likewise if you are a hunter too. That is unless you have already gotten a jump on it all by getting your gear prepared well ahead of time. For those of you who have not done so this is a friendly reminder that hunting season will be on you sooner that you know it if you don't start getting ready now. Some of the things I do to my firearms, in preparation for the hunt, are inspect them for damage, rust, proper function. Then I address any problems and if none I clean and lubricate them. I mount scopes on those rifles on which I will use them. Then a trip to the range is in order - whether the firearm is scoped or not. As a matter of fact, the more range trips the better, in my opinion. Several trips to the range are usually the regular course of business for Brendan and I in anticipation of a hunt. As we shoot scoped rifles, I make sure the scope ring and mount screws all remained tight. Of course, after shooting all that practice ammo (the same exact ammo with which we will hunt is all we use for practice) it will again be time to give the firearms a good cleaning and lubrication, and to again make sure all the scope ring and scope mount screws stayed fastened tightly and so on. Then I store them away safely where they will not get bumped, fall over or whatever else could jar the scopes.
I mentioned ammo up above didn't I. Before you start all this practice, it would be a good idea to make sure you have a sufficient amount of ammo on hand for the practice as well as for the hunt. As I said, I use the same ammo for practice as I do for my hunting. I even try to use only ammo from matching lots. No surprises that way, it should all fire the same.
I also have already started to stock up on some gear and accessories I will be depending on during the season. I bought my deer lure already, picked up some hunter orange trail marking tape, and got some high quality waterproof matches, along with some other things. In addition I have been checking on the gear I normally bring along, making sure I have it all and that it is all in good condition. About the only things I still need to purchase are some hunter's detergent and some trail food items like snack bars.
Most importantly, I already ordered, paid for and have received our hunting licenses for Brendan and myself. Because I got them early we also got the deer management permits in the zones in which we wanted them and each got 2 DMPs at that! We have not been quite that lucky in years.
As for actual hunting, I have been upstate to scout out a few good hunting places. I need to go again a couple or few times more and hopefully I will get to do that too before the season arrives. Maybe I'll be able to bag a few squirrels while we are at it. Did I say we? Hopefully Brendan will come along on at least one scouting trip this year, he is not the best at coming along on them.
I have been getting all this done for a couple to a few weeks now, that is a good thing. Waiting until the last minute to do all this stuff just assures that I will wind up moody, hurried, aggravated, annoyed, pissed off and darned cranky. Doing it now usually eliminates at least pissed off.
All the best,
Glenn B

We're Expecting!
Well, kinda:)
Our family just sponsored a 10 year old little girl through Compassion International. Her information will be here in two weeks!!
We sat down as a family today and I asked the kids if they would want to sponsor a child from another country. I told them that for just $38.00 a month (the equivalent of a wii game, for Jude's understanding) we could help 1 child with food, education, medical care, and more.
They happily agreed, and then Jude ran back off to play with Zane.
Genesis excitingly sat down at my computer and browsed all the waiting children. She finally decided on 10 year old Awino Agatha from Uganda.
She was hesitant at first because Agatha has 9 other siblings in her little hut. Genesis didn't want the other children to be left out.
"What about her brothers and sisters, who will help them?"
She liked that Agatha had similar interest as her like art, singing, and playing with dolls.
That will give them a lot to write about:)
Here's the thing. I grew up in church. So of course I heard all about sponsoring children. Heck, even if you don't go to church you hear about it on TV or at concerts.
Well, for some reason, I always had the idea that when you sent money only a few dollars actually went to the child. I also thought that they really didn't care about letters you may send since they couldn't read them anyway.
After researching Compassion International, I learned that is so far from the truth. Over 80 percent of your donation goes to the child. And they LOVE to receive your letters. Most of them keep them for years and even memorize every word.
Check out this awesome story. Watch to the end, and have tissues ready!

God has really been shaking my world this past month. I have so much to share, but will wait for the right time.
Until then, I will leave you with some great reading found on these blogs:

We are that family

What is the Average Cost of a Cubic Yard of Sand? Average Sand Price per Cubic Yard
Sand has a variety of uses, but most often it is used for construction, landscaping, building and repairing. Cubic yards of sand are specifically used for patching up sinkholes and building dunes to levy a damn or keep high tide from flooding a plain. A cubic yard of sand will cost about $30 to $40 depending on the company from which you order the sand, the type of sand being ordered, and if the sand is wet or dry, which affects its weight and transportation expenses.

India and the Indianness of Christianity: Essays on Understanding -- Historical, Theological, and Bibliographical -- in Honor of Robert Eric Frykenberg
Robert Eric Frykenberg, Richard Fox Young
Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 2009 - Religion - 283 pages
Honoring historian Robert Eric Frykenberg, the essays in this collection avoid the pitfall of Eurocentric, top down historiographies and instead adopt and adapt Frykenberg s own Indocentric, bottom up approach, thus accentuating indigenous agency in the emergence of Christianity as an Indian religion. / Contributors: Peter B. Andersen, Michael Bergunder, Judith M. Brown, John B. Carman, Gunnel Cederlf, Daniel Jeyaraj, Chandra Mallampalli, Geoffrey A. Oddie, Avril A. Powell, Rosemary Seton, Wilbert R.

I am Back!
I have spent the last week in Paris, France, and just came back. This was my first time there, and totally loved it!
The strongest impression? Beautiful stylishly dressed French women pedaling their bikes among cars while wearing high heels and no helmets! I knew there were lots of bikers in France, but I had no idea that they were so different from those in America. Here when you see a person on a bike, he or she is usually dressed in sports gear, rides on a side of the road (or on a special bike path), and all the cars are going out of their ways trying not to come near the biker. In Paris they were right on the roads, racing with the other cars and buses, and definitely doing it not for exercise as in America, but to actually get somewhere...
I brought back quite a few pictures, and you can see them in my Flickr album (http://www.flickr.com/photos/eugenascreations/sets/72157604216620192). However, the things that impressed me the most did not get photographed. For example, I did not dare to pull out my camera in the bakery where we were buying our croissants every morning, even when my daughter volunteered to do it. She just turned ten and knows only a few words in French, so it was a major adventure for her.
Another memorable thing about Paris for me was live music on the streets. We even saw a band of native American Indians performing on the bank of Sena. Their music was so beautiful, with such clean and melodic sounds... I captured them on video, but not on a photo camera.
I was also sadly amazed by the number of baggers on the streets of Paris. No, I did not photograph them either... I am convinced there is always a white and a black side to everything, but the good thin is that even though we saw some dark sides of Paris, they were way outweighed by the positive ones.
This vacation was wonderful. We rented an apartment in the historic Paris, minutes from Louvre and Notre-Dame. We saw lots of Paris, exploring on foot Les Halles, Marais, and Champs-Elysees. I was pleasantly surprised how much my kids were actually able to walk (they claim they grew their leg muscles during this trip). The weather was great, and I was surprised to see lots of flowers and trees blooming there already. But the main thing is the city itself, of cause, with its historic atmosphere, narrow streets, and unforgettable buildings...

/ Tuesday, 14 July 2015 /
After three presentations of works-in-progress during OFF – CINARS, C2MTL and the Festival Quartiers Danses, Dulcinea Langfelder & Co. is in residency at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal. During the summer, the team will finish building this new creation and adapt the show to the theatre that will host the launch of the english version in winter 2016. Two other residencies, in Jonquière and Baie Comeau, are also planned next winter before the premiere.
Pillow Talk , an essay on dreaming is based on a collection of real dreams that Dulcinea recorded on a bedside dictaphone...in a state somewhere between the conscious and the unconscious. Like a whisper in the ear, the artist confides her sweetest and most outlandish dreams, to explore this "home entertainment center" that lies deep within us all. In her singular style the artist brings us a work woven with theater, dance, song and video projection.
"Everyone dreams, even if we don't remember doing so. Every artist is inspired by dreams, even if they are not aware of it – and aren't we all artists during the night?" Dulcinea Langfelder
We can't wait to unveil this new creation, from March 29 to April 24, 2016 at the Centaur Theatre in Montreal! Until then, feel free to share your dreams with us right here.
On a très hâte de vous dévoiler cette toute nouvelle création dont la diffusion de la version anglophone se fera du 29 mars au 24 avril 2016 au Théâtre du Centaur à Montréal! D'ici là, n'hésitez pas à partager vos rêves avec nous juste ici.

The Government has published guidelines on Home Computing Initiatives to help businesses and public sector organisations take advantage of an annual tax exemption on loaned equipment. The scheme, introduced by the Chancellor in 1999 allows employers to lend computers to their staff as a tax-free benefit.The guidelines produced by the DTI, in association with DfES and the Cabinet Office, contain more information about how the scheme can benefit organisations and employees. They have advice on how to get started and a set of technical implementation guidelines approved by the Inland Revenue and others, as well as case studies from organisations that have implemented HCI schemes.
The launch of the guidelines coincides with the publication of a survey showing people who have a computer at home believe it makes them more productive at work. The study, conducted for the Office of the e-Envoy, found three-quarters of people believe a home computer helps them to achieve greater work-life balance. Eight out of 10 employees said their employer had seen a benefit from their having a computer with 61 per cent claiming improved IT skills, 65 per cent greater familiarity with the Internet and 51 per cent believing skills learned at home had been useful at work.
Launching the guidelines, Trade and Industry Secretary and E-Cabinet Minister Patricia Hewitt, said the Home Computing schemes meant that employers could maximise potential in the work place. Basic computer and technology skills were now regarded as essential for the majority of jobs and IT confident employees had a greater capacity to contribute to an organisation's overall performance.
The Government is working with industry to promote Home Computing Initiative schemes. The HCI Alliance, made up of BT, Intel and Microsoft, has pledged funds to help to promote the guidelines and HCI schemes more widely. Members of the Alliance were at the launch with Andrew Pinder, the e-Envoy, Brendan Barber of the TUC and John Sunderland of the CBI.
Brendan Barber said there was a real thirst in the workforce for better computer skills. People knew, he added, that computers were more and more crucial to the way they lived and worked and they wanted hands-on experience at work and at home. Digby Jones, of the CBI, said the UK had to improve the skills of its workforce to sustain the economy and compete in the value-added, innovative, branded end of the market. He said IT literacy had to become an integral part of the country's DNA.

At a recent gathering I asked a friend, the CEO of a Boulder-based startup, whether anything he had learned recently had surprised him. His quick answer: "No one knows anything." He explained that he'd been meeting with companies and executives who can point to significant histories, track records, brand equity, funding, revenue, and experience. And the common denominator has been this:
No one knows anything.
And the funny thing is this: they are uncomfortable. They don't want to be ignorant. They all want to know more than they do.
If someone would just tell them where to buy a clue, they'd queue up in the clue queue. And pay.

If you are here then you are most likely excited to see that Grand Theft Auto V is going to be letting us venture across the ocean in game and actually make it to Liberty City. It was on the map and in the distance from the start back when Rockstar Games first launched the game so it seems like it would be about time to see it coming. That is why we are here to show off that Grand Theft Auto V is indeed getting opened up to include this location and all of the other ins and outs that came with GTAIV in the near future. Just like with all great things though, it is only coming via MOD and on the PC version of the game. Sorry to those PS4 and Xbox One fans out there.
As it turns out, a group of modders for Grand Theft Auto V by the name of OpenIV has been working on this since the game launched on the PC in 2015. Just like us they saw the landscape and wanted to actually make it there. That's where their modding skills come in and when it is ready there will be a bit of software that will patch the original Grand Theft Auto V on your system with a DLC patch and then BOOM; you'll be right in the mix of it all. Of course though, there are caveats that have to be taken in here and some may not like it.
Grand Theft Auto V — Liberty City Teaser
Today we are proud to announce the project we worked on since initial Grand Theft Auto V release. Liberty City is finally coming into Grand Theft Auto V in all its glory. We have a little teaser trailer for you.
Liberty City will not replace Los Santos or Blaine County, but appears across the sea. Using the power of OpenIV and openFormats, we was able to bring Liberty City right into Grand Theft Auto V map. More details coming soon.
First off, while the MOD will be placed out there for all, it will only be usable by gamers who own both Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto IV. They don't want to get sued by Rockstar Games for giving out the other game for free after all. If you have both then you can run their bit of software that will package up GTAIV with all of the upgrades and changes needed to work in Grand Theft Auto V proper. Like I said, it will be added on like a bit of DLC and all of the content from Liberty City will be playable in one place without having to swap between games.
This does look like it will cause issue with those playing the online mode for Grand Theft Auto V so do take that into account when getting jazzed for all of this. Running this mod will most likely get you banned from the online service and all of the negatives that go with that as well. The team is also looking for people to help with the upgrading of visuals and textures for Liberty City and if that doesn't go well then you may not have the smoothest transition from one game to the other. Just things to think about as you get amped or let down here.
What do you think about this new mod that brings Liberty City into Grand Theft Auto V now? Will you give it a try knowing it will most likely get you banned from the online play? Do you think it will get the upgrades truly needed to feel like it will be a seamless move from one to the other or will it still be noticeable in the long run? Let us know what you are thinking about all of that down in the comments and then discuss. For more on this Grand Theft Auto V mod as it is released, we will try to have the information here. Be sure to keep locked into the site for all of those updates soon.
