Cognitive technology, microservices top 2016 analytics trends list
Dec 17, 2015
By Nicole Laskowski, SearchCIO
The International Institute for Analytics (IIA) has released its list of predictions for analytics trends in 2016. Unlike in years past, the IIA is dividing its list into two distinct groups — the first focused on analytics predictions; the second focused on analytics priorities. IIA co-founder Tom Davenport, and researchers Dan Magestro and Robert Morison, discussed the predictions and priorities during a recent webinar.
The Portland, Ore., advisory and research organization's list of five analytics trends includes a mix of advanced technologies and predictions that suggest analytics will become more of a generic, everyday thing in 2016. "And having analytics as more of an everyday thing is a reflection of advancing maturity," said Morison, analytics consultant and researcher at the IIA and webinar moderator.
The IIA's five analytics predictions are as follows:

On-page SEO Playbook: Hummingbird Aftermath
The SEO world has been changed from the root up in the past year or so. It is hard to keep track of what is relevant and what is old nowadays. However, Google's recent update to the Hummingbird algorithm did not change a lot in terms of their golden standard. The big question is what will this do to content and content based marketing.
In short, the algorithm should make SEO easier than ever before. Content posting more efficient and updates are even more powerful. However, what does all of this mean to a non-SEO user, generally, search engines will provide more relevant and precise information.
Post content
The first question to arise is how Hummingbird will handle new post and how will spam be filtered from now on, but perhaps the biggest issue is the question of content. Writing content which was engaging and not full of spam was always a challenge, but now, more than ever due to the always-evolving SEO, it is something that content posters should really look out for. Deep content is still more valuable than just writing short referral posts. Google's search engine will filter out posts which are bad and filled with spam so that only the best remains.
Other than that, having a regular schedule of content posting will ensure organic search engine integration, and on the other hand it will secure Internet presence. Keeping an active profile will not only secure good search engine presence but also credibility for links and generated content leading back to your website.
Authorship or no Deal
One of Google's most prominent features is Google authorship. This hefty little application not only secures that your content is signed virtually but it also helps in generating safe links to your content and how search engines view not just your post but you as an author as well.
With the Google Authorship you can also gain credibility and ranks based on the publishing history and it is being well integrated. Other benefits are that the Google+ profile picture also shows up next to the generated content which draws more attention and secures a few more clicks.
In general, if you are a content poster and an active blogger, it is time that you invest into Google Authorship as it will only boost your credentials.
Title and Heading tags
It was and is still important to optimize tags not only for your title but for the headlines as well. Research has shown that a good tag will mean the difference between a click and a dozen clicks.
For SEO, this means that keyword integration is more important than ever before. However, there is an emphasis on posting natural and strategically placed keywords to make it to the top of the search engine ranks. It is suggested that title tags should be kept short and with a decent amount of local keywords.
Headline tags on the other hand still play a key role in deciphering what your page content is about, it is the first thing that anyone will notice. You should not forget that headline tags have a number of layers, but be careful not to force such tagging as it will not seem natural or nor organic.
Image tags are also important
Tagging images is also a very important player in tagging as it will not only help you rank up on the search engine based on content but also on Google Image Search as well. Ultimately, it means that you will be more visible and more likely to have visitors on your blog or website.
The key to good image tagging is to find which images will be relevant and important. Once again forcing tags means that you are not choosing the right images to represent your post, which can lead to bad content and in the end no views from the public.
In the End
The majority of important SEO elements have not changed so much at all, and it seems so that they will stay as they are in the coming years. Perhaps the only thing that has changed is how we view certain elements, but certain Google is trying to maintain what it did so far, good and relevant content search.
One thing will never change however, and that is what kind of content is being posted. Make sure that all the content posted is strategically planned out and put together in a natural fashion so that readers will enjoy their stay at your blog or website.

Kyyjärvi is a municipality of Finland.
It is located in the province of Western Finland and is part of the Central Finland region. The municipality has a population of 1,347 (31 August 2017)[2] and covers an area of 448.22 square kilometres (173.06 sq mi) of which 21.39 km2 (8.26 sq mi) is water.[1] There are all together 46 lakes in Kyyjärvi. Biggest lakes in Kyyjärvi are Lake Kyyjärvi, Heinuanjärvi and Kirvesjärvi.[6] The population density is 3.01 inhabitants per square kilometre (7.8/sq mi).
The municipality is unilingually Finnish.
The municipality centre is located on the shores of lake Kyyjärvi. Little villages Hokkala, Koskimäki-Huhtala, Kumpula, Noposenaho, Hokkasenaho, Nurmijoki, Oikari, Peuralinna, Pölkki, Saunakylä and Vehkaperä are living mostly from primary production (farming and forestry). Due to its location on the crossroads of two main Finnish roads (Valtatie 13 and 16) the municipality has also a remarkable amount of services and little companies compared to its size.
The origin of the name of Kyyjärvi is unknown but there are few theories of it. The first part of the name, "kyy", is Finnish word for adder (Vipera berus), a venomous snake. Järvi is Finnish word for lake. Adders can be found in Kyyjärvi, as everywhere in Finland. Another theory is that the first citizens moved to the area from the lake Kyyvesi and gave the name Kyyjärvi for their new home area and lake.
The world's first district heating grid that uses only EKOenergy labelled renewable energy is located in the town center of Kyyjärvi.[7]

With busy lives, finding a time to read often gets pushed into holidays. If you're someone who loves picking out a few titles for you trip abroad, we may very well have found the perfect spot for you.
RELATED: Discover tours of Portugal with Portugal.com
Housed in a historic building, The Literary Man hotel in the central Portuguese city of Óbidos is home to an astonishingly large collection of books. More the 50,000 titles adorn the shelves in the hotel's huge library (which grows everyday), over half of which a free to use within the premises. It's not just novels either. The international collection includes mint condition best sellers, childrens, history, philosophy, psychology, vintage and coffee-table books. There's even 3,000 Portuguese titles available upon request.
After getting lost during the day in the charming 700-year-old medieval walled city and castle, a place which could have easily been imagined in the depths of a dusty book, visitors can return to read at the cosy hotel. Guests and their books aren't banished to the rooms. The owners have created wonderfully atmospheric spots to read with arched columns, soft lighting and comfortable leather armchairs. There's even an in-house gin bar which is, of course, also surrounded by books.
Óbidos is in the midst of a literary resurgence with several bookstores opening in recent years and the city playing host to the International Literature Festival in September.

It occurred to me recently that I come from a long line of storytellers. There are no published authors or poets or journalists in the family tree, just people who tell stories, some true, some less so, mostly greatly embellished. We like to tell stories about each other to each other and everyone has a favourite tale.
Judging by the quality of the memory, I think I was nine or ten when I first heard that my Grandma Madeleine had been partly brought up in an orphanage. I heard other stories of her—from her and from others—and when I was 18 I decided it would be great fun to put them together.
So I asked her to tell me her whole story from beginning to end. Every couple of weeks for two or three months, I would go to her house for dinner and she would have a bottle of wine open and new chapter of her story ready to tell. I bought a cheap cassette recorder and taped our conversations. Once or twice she asked me to turn the recorder off.
She began her story with the story of another. Her grandmother Alphonsine had figured large in her early life and so that is who came to mind when she thought of her beginnings.
It must be a strange thing to have someone who has only known you for a sliver of your life ask you to start at the beginning and finish at the end. How does one begin the story of one's own life? Does it start at your first memory or the story of your birth you have heard from others? Or if you have never heard the story, do you start by simply quoting your date of birth? Is it even earlier than that with how your parents met and how they got from that first meeting to liking each other enough to make you?
For my Grandma Madeleine, the answer—that day—was to start with her first memory. In it she is about four and her grandmother, her Memére, tells her that she has to do a wee before she can go with her mother to visit her sisters and she had better hurry up because her mother is almost ready to go. Little Mado is sitting on her potty which is on the huge table in the middle of the kitchen, the heart of the house and the room from which her Memére runs the household. Madeleine's mother is upstairs getting ready to visit her two elder daughters at the convent home for orphans in the next town.
That's it; a simple story which manages to give a quite a lot of detail. As beginnings go, it's pretty interesting for all the questions it encourages.
Grandma couldn't tell her story without first telling the story of her Memére Alphonsine. Then the story of her own mother flowed seamlessly from that until a baby named Madeleine was born and took her place in one of the long lines of women that lead to me.
The women in the stories I have been given by my family are intelligent, passionate, relentless, unconventional women. I feel them behind me every time I'm tempted to give up on something important or take the conventional path when the direction my heart would prefer seems too scary.
Their stories are of real adversity: of living in times when at least half the people over 35 were widowed and almost everyone had a step-parent, when everyone buried children and siblings and friends, when women couldn't vote or own property or go to school, when the parameters of how to be an acceptable person were so much narrower than they are now, no matter how narrow they still seem at times.
Despite the harshness that my grandmothers met, joy and conviction illuminate their stories as I have heard them, along with a kind of truth that isn't always to do with getting the details exactly correct.
With my grandmothers at my back, I regularly feel obligated to take this or that opportunity simply because it is available to me.
I'm also confident I'm capable of doing amazing things because they were extraordinary with infinitely less to work with.

Armored Queen Elsa by Art-CalaveraWatch

Pretty 😍😍😍
Way better than her dress!!!
Eh, Marianne from Strange Magic would still kick her ass (if she wasn't so tiny, of course).
This reminds me of Rose Lalonde from Homestuck...cosplaying Elsa...haha
I regret to inform you that an Etsy user is selling this as an iPhone case design.
this si so perfect im totally in love with this desing,Im even thinking on doing a cosplay based on your work if you dont mind,i would credit you :3
amazing!!!! *o*
That Should Be In Kingdoms Hearts!
Full plate armor was not worn by Elsa's guards or anyone else in Frozen, so I assume this is just for ceremonial purposes. Still, cool design and pun intended!
hah yeah, I was just toying with that idea. The armor design is not even accurate to that period of history!
Why do I feel like her sword is from the Princess Bride? haha
Great work!
Great work!
sweet af man
Elsa is looking so epic I love it
Could you do another version of her when she transformed into her ice dress? <3
Practical female armor that still looks so hot. (er.. cold?). Kudos to you, sir.
Oh lordy♥ This is awesome!
This is awesome! I normally don't like armor!
Amazing design, man! Armored Princess Anna looks fabulous too!
Design is simply stunning!
I'm just in love with this version of the costume! >oooo<
I'm just in love with this version of the costume! >oooo<
OMG yeees. the design of this is fantastic!
Queen Elsa BAMF!!! prefiero su pelo en versión super trenza jaja ^^.
Muy bueno, genial armadura y colores y concepto... Puedo imaginar a Elsa perfectamente con esto (risa malvada)
Vos sabes que me gusta mil veces mal la Elsa noble que la Elsa reina de hielo?
No me gusta el pelo, ni el vestido ni la paleta de colores
No me gusta el pelo, ni el vestido ni la paleta de colores
Lovely design, it truly suits her. And is that an icy sword?
Yup, it is. More of a rapier actually
I find rapiers (thanks for the correction) to be quite elegant weapons, a great choice for Elsa.
How about a battle against Weaseltown?
That's amazing~
That's really cool, i like this design.

The Midwives of central delivery and ward 11 were fantastic, they made me feel well cared for and helped me to feel relaxed. I am amazed by the amount of work that the midwives have to do and yet they still manage to provide excellent care. Can't rate them highly enough!

PCF Adventures with Wayne Justice – Shark Fishing with Captain Chesson O'Briant of CXC Fishing
Let's face it, most people come to the coast with visions of JAWS lingering in the back of their mind. Admittedly, even I sometimes find myself daydreaming when I am out in the water wondering what lurks just beyond my feet in the murky inshore waters along our beachfront. I regularly dive with sharks, and when I am submerged in ... Read More »

Though miles from the epicenter of superstorm Sandy, businesses in Dallas-Fort Worth continued Wednesday to assess the effect of the East Coast tempest.
Nearly four dozen restaurants in the TGI Friday's restaurant chain remained shut Wednesday, largely because of a lack of power. But a Chili's in New Jersey, the only restaurant open for miles, found itself with plenty of hungry mouths to feed.
"We've had minimal damage and no structural damage," said Steve Coe, a spokesman for the Carrollton-based TGI Friday's chain. "The damage was mostly cosmetic."
Likewise, Dallas-based Neiman Marcus had no reports of damage, said Ginger Reeder, vice president. Its Bergdorf Goodman store in Manhattan closed early Sunday and reopened Wednesday.
The Neiman Marcus store in Short Hills and a Last Call in Jersey Gardens, N.J., remained closed and without power Wednesday, as were three Container Stores in New York and New Jersey.
By Wednesday, 150 J.C. Penney stores, or more than 13 percent of its 1,100 locations, had been closed by weather at least temporarily, said Joey Thomas, a spokesman for the Plano-based chain. Most had reopened, and Penney was still assessing any damage at the remaining stores.
Also as of midweek, only about 40 percent to 50 percent of the more than 2,200 MoneyGram agents in the New York area were able to reopen for business, said spokeswoman Sophia Stroller, as a lack of power and transportation woes slowed the recovery efforts.
Agents on Long Island who work for the Dallas-based money transfer service were hit especially hard with closings expected to last the next seven days, Stroller said.
Coe mentioned that TGI Friday's has business continuity insurance, which is designed to help blunt the effect of Mother Nature's blows. "Whether it will cover everything, I really can't say," he added.
Most companies have business interruption insurance that kicks in once a government entity declares an emergency, like the disaster declaration made by President Barack Obama this week, said Richard Mellor, vice president of loss prevention for the National Retail Federation.
"There's a deductible, so each business now has to make a decision based on the number of stores and length of time they were closed," Mellor said. "Is it worthwhile to file a claim?"

Notre Dame offensive coordinator Chuck Martin was looking for something, anything, on tape to lend some hope that his stable of talented running backs could make a game-changing play against Alabama's vaunted run defense.
He didn't find much.
"You try to gain some confidence if you look at the big run tape and the big pass tape, (and with) the big run tape Im like did we do all 12 games?" Martin said, half-joking. "Theres only four on here, and one was in the fourth quarter against a team that was like 86-0 so I didnt even count that one because there were no numbers on the field for Alabama that I recognized."
The stats aren't as bad as Martin made them out to be, but they're still not encouraging. Alabama's defense allowed seven runs of 20 or more yards in its 13 games, and only one of those went for 30 or more. Alabama is the only FBS defense against which opponents averaged under 80 yards rushing per game, and only three teams rushed for over 100 yards against the Tide this season.
Two of those teams -- LSU and Texas A&M -- needed 49 and 46 rushing plays to eclipse the century mark. Georgia, behind a physical, fast back in Todd Gurley, ran 29 times for 113 yards in the SEC title game, good for a 3.9 yards-per-carry average. That's the highest Alabama allowed in its 13 games.
"They dont give up squat running, and we know that," Martin quipped.
But Theo Riddick and Cierre Wood proved to be more than capable as a running back duo over Notre Dame's regular season. It was Riddick who pounded USC's defense to help push the Irish into the BCS Championship, and Wood's 62-yard touchdown dash against Oklahoma helped set the tone for the arguably Notre Dame's biggest win of the season.
Just because Alabama doesn't give up much on the ground, though, doesn't mean the Irish will eschew the run. There's still a balance to be fostered, while Riddick and Wood are good enough for the Irish to succeed against even the best of the run-stoppers.
Regardless, Martin and Notre Dame are preparing for Everett Golson to have to make the game-changing plays that have often fallen on the shoulders of Riddick and Wood. Golson's no stranger to those, either -- his 50-yard completion to Chris Brown against Oklahoma certainly falls into that category -- and he's played on plenty of big stages already.
"Im not the type that really succumbs to pressure, I guess. I dont think any moments bigger than what it is," Golson said. "For me, its about that game thats played between (the lines). Its not necessarily about everything thats going on around it. At the end of the day, its about playing Jan. 7 at Alabama."
And make no mistake, Golson's still in the midst of a massive learning process. But as has been the case in plenty of Notre Dame's games, he may not have to do everything right -- just enough to secure a win.
"If we win this game 3-2, were good," Martin said. "And thats been the way weve been all year."

At first glance, it may appear that Java was developed specifically for the World Wide Web. However, interestingly enough, Java was developed independently of the web, and went through several stages of metamorphosis before reaching its current status of de facto programming language fro the World Wide Web. Below is a brief history of Java Since its infancy to its current state.
In January of 1991, Bill Joy, James Gosline, Mike Sheradin, Patrick Naughton (formerly the project leader of Sun's Open Windows user environment), and several other individuals met in Aspen to discuss the ideas for the Stealth Project. The goal of the Stealth Project was to do research in the area of application of computers in the consumer electronics market. The vision of the project was to develop "smart" consumer electronic devices that could all be centrally controlled and programmed from a handheld-remote-control-like device.
Gosling began with C++, but soon after he was conviced that C++ was inadequate for this particular project. His extensions and modification to C++ (also know as C++ ++ --), were the first step towards the development of an independent language that would fit the project objectives. He named the language "Oak" while staring at an oak tree outside his office window!. The name "Oak" was later dismissed due to a patent search, which determined that the name was copyrighted and used for another programming language and renamed "Oak" as "Java". The major milestones in the development of Java technology are listed below :

Picture: Crowded House perform at the Live Earth concert held at the Aussie Stadium. Sydney, Australia - 07.07.07.
Australian rockers Crowded House are keen to work with Britney Spears because of her "bad-ass" reputation. The band collaborated with U.S. country stars Dixie Chicks on track Silent House earlier this year (07), and are keen to expand their musical repertoire. Frontman Neil Finn refuses to rule out any pop stars for forthcoming collaborations - but hints he would like to work with troubled singer Spears. He says, "As for future collaborations after the Dixie Chicks, I wouldn't pre-empt anyone. "Britney's hitting the tiles - and she's a lot more interesting now she's become bad-ass."

In its bid to revive the fading Igbo culture, Obijackson Foundation, the CSR arm of the Obijackson Group, organised the Face of Okija Pageant, a music and cultural festival aimed at rejuvenating the Igbo culture that has been badly eroded by all manner of external influences.
The event which was held at the Obijackson Sports Arena in the sleepy town of Okija, comprising thirty villages on December 29, 2016, Okija town in Ihiala Local Government Area of Anambra State, affirmed its historical importance as the hub of Igbo tradition, as winners emerged in the 2016 'Face of Okija' Pageant .
The highly contested competition which saw Chinasa Ezeamaka and Chukwudi Enukoha emerge as the new Queen and King of Face of Okija respectively, was witnessed by foremost traditional rulers, notable names, accomplished individuals and observers from different parts of the country.
Present were, Anambra State Governor, His Excellency, Chief Willie Obiano, his deputy, Dr. Nkem Okeke, Mr. Oseloka Henry Obaze, Secretary to the Government of Anambra State, Professor Rich Umeh, Chief Pete Edochie, one of Africa's most talented actors, Anayo Modestus Onyekwere (Kanayo O. Kanayo) and Okechukwu Anthony Onyegbule (Okey Bakassi).
According to the Founder of the Obijackson Group, Dr. Ernest Azudialu-Obiejesi, who presented the winners with keys to brand new Corolla cars and cheques for the sum One Million Naira each, the "Face of Okija Pageant is a Special Purpose Programme (SPP) activated to insulate Igbo culture, beliefs and tradition from continuous attrition. The initiative is a preservative agenda for sustaining our 'Igboness' and promoting our essence as a people".
With their emergence as winners in the 2016 'Face of Okija' Pageant, Chinasa Ezeamaka and Chukwudi Enukoha, in addition to other prizes, have become Ambassadors of the Obijackson Foundation and are placed on fixed salary of One Million and Four Hundred Thousand Naira for the duration of their reign. In their new role, they are expected to leverage their status to impact lives in Okija, Igbo land and the Nigerian nation through an active involvement in a mix of social welfare programmes and initiatives they will undertake in the days ahead.
Aside from, excellent performance by Ebuka Obi-Uchendu (Ebuka) and Bovi Ugboma (Bovi), who were the event comperes, the scintillating performance by Ifechukwu Eze (Ifex G), winner of the star prize of five hundred thousand naira in the Okija Rising segment of the event created to discover and help youths nurture their musical talent, held the audience spellbound just as Phyno (Azubike Chibuzo Nelson) glided to the stage to take the audience to another level of excitement, with his energetic and thrilling performance.
Though Face of Okija 2016 may have ended as a festival where guests had so much to drink and eat, the real success of the initiative is its growing appeal and impact on Igbo youths. Clearly, from the number of entries and quality of performances at this year's festival, it would not be out of place to conclude that Igbo youths are gradually embracing the cultural heritage of the Igbo nation and becoming the custodians of the Igbo culture and tradition.
Obijackson Foundation is the CSR arm of the Obijackson Group, one of the fastest growing conglomerates in sub-Saharan Africa, comprising Energy Works Technology (EWT) Ltd, B&Q Dredging Ltd, Neconde Energy Ltd, NestHak Ltd, Nesto Aviation Ltd, Century Power Generation Ltd, Shipside Drydock Ltd, Impac Engineering Ltd, Hammakopp Consortium Ltd, Scorpio Drilling International Ltd, Gobowen Exploration and Production Ltd, and Nestoil Limited has its flagship company.
As a business conglomerate with interests in diverse sectors of the economy, such as Oil and Gas exploration, Pipeline construction, Pressure Vessel Fabrication, Power Generation, Telecommunications and Real Estate, the Obijackson Group is aware of its role in social transformation and economic development in Africa.

Wolfgang Gartner Teams Up with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer [LISTEN]
Wolfgang Gartner may have helped to champion progressive house into the world of EDM, but don't get it twisted. Gartner is an incredibly versatile producer whose new material proves that the he refuses to be constrained by labels.
Following up his latest album 10 Ways to Steal Home Plate, Wolfgang Gartner (real name Joseph Youngman) has been cooking up a special project in the studio with one of music's living legends. Teaming up with Rock and Roll Hall of Famer John Oates – of the legendary Hall & Oates –Wolfgang Gartner's new single "Baby Be Real" keeps up the creative momentum heard on 10 Ways to Steal Home Plate.
Taking as much influence from soul and disco as from electronic music, "Baby Be Real" is a catchy dance floor hit that shows Wolfgang Gartner's strong abilities to write and produce songs that outlast genre labels.
Talking about the collaboration, Wolfgang Gartner shares what it was like to work with one of his heroes:
"The opportunity was floated to me to turn this demo into a dance track and mix worlds by combining John's vocals and my music. I took John's a cappella and wrote all new music underneath it, going for a sort of late 90's disco house throwback vibe. This project was so organic and refreshing for me, as an opportunity to revisit the sound that I grew up on and collaborate with a legend and personal hero."

Goldthwaite Wins State
In the most exciting high school football game that I have ever seen, last Saturday, in Jones/AT&T Stadium, in Lubbock, the Goldthwaite Eagles, finishing the season at 15-0, won the Class A, Division 1, State football, championship! They beat the number one ranked, Canadian Wildcats, 29-25. Canadian had won back-to-back state championships, while Goldthwaite, state ranked number three, hadn't won one since 1994.
Pundits, sports writers and those in the "knowâ€, said that Goldthwaite, in their "old fashioned†wishbone formation couldn't keep up in a scoring race with the high tech, spread offense of Canadian. But, football is a funny thing! Goldthwaite gained more yardage both rushing and passing than Canadian, and, and, passed for three touchdowns! Goldthwaite also had the edge in time of possession thirty-three and a half minutes to fourteen and a half! Goldthwaite lost no fumbles, suffered one interception and had only three penalties, while Canadian lost two fumbles, had two passes intercepted and had seven penalties.
Goldthwaite opened the season with a shutout victory over Collinsville and I forgot to take my camera to the game, so I didn't mention it on Outdoor Odyssey. Sensing this could be a good year for the team, I didn't want to jinx them, so I didn't mention any of their games, but with eight shutouts, it was hard not to. These shutouts weren't against "patsies†but state ranked, excellent football teams.
And, by the way, our Grandson, Colton, Goldthwaite's middle linebacker, led the team in tackles for this big game, for the season too and, as a sophomore, was chosen second team All State!

High School Football, December 12, 2008
Cove had a great year reaching the Semi-finals and Goldthwaite had a good year reaching the Area round. Seems like the season just started and it's over!Mikayla's Goldthwaite Eaglettes traveled to Dublin (home of Dr. Peppers) and lost 35-25. Last time they played Dublin they lost 41-19. They're getting better. Then they visited San Saba this past Monday and came away with a 21-20 win over their big rivals.Â
 Mikayla is giving away some height as she guards the 'Dillo center.
This was 2 in a row for us over San Saba and brought Goldthwaite's record to 4 and 4. The girls are learning how to play the game.

High School Football – December 12, 2008
In the picture, scanned in from the 'Killeen Daily Herald', Sara is carrying the 'D' (of 'D-fence'), leading the team off of the bus for their game last week in Corsicana against Klein Oak. Â
A win this week would propel Cove into the state finals against the winner of the Katy-Smithson Valley game. Over the last 3 years, this would be Cove's third straight state final game.Katy High School consistently has one of the best high school football programs in the nation and, an interesting note, both Copperas Cove and Smithson Valley have tailored their football programs after Katy's.
Meanwhile, this past Monday, Mikayla's seventh grade, basketball team took on Comanche and lost 32-22, moving their record to 3-4. However, in this years opening game, Comanche thrashed the Eagleetts 42-19, so this last loss shows that the team is getting better.  Mikayla scored 5 points and played outstanding defense!

High School Football, November 21, 2008
This past Friday night Sara and her, Copperas Cove, Bulldawgs, won a hard fought game against Garland 21-7, and now, move into the next round of the playoffs against Cypress Ridge, a Houston area team from the Cypress- Fairbanks School District, that features one of the best quarterbacks in the nation. Of course, Texas is the breeding grounds for great quarterbacks! Having lived in the Cy Fair District, the largest in the state, for over 25 years, I feel like I helped build many of their seven, high schools and my son, Randy, even played for Cypress Creek High School.
While the Dawgs continued their winning ways, Goldthwaite's season came to an abrupt end with a 33-7 loss to a big, and just as fast as us, team from Shiner. One good note is that next year, Goldthwaite returns 15 of their 22 starters, 8 on defense!
Middle school basketball chugged along with Austin being sick and missing the first 2 games. Mikayla and her 7th grade team's record was 0-3, but the team started coming together against Deleon.Â
Here Mikayla has her opponent back on her heels, as she begins a drive to her left towards the basket.Â
The Lady Eagles beat De Leon and then edged the good San Saba 'Dillo team (our bitter rival), and this was the first time since "Little Dribblers†began 4 years ago, they had ever even come close against the 'Dillos!

Football Playoffs
This past weekend was a big one for the Goldthwaite Eagles and Copperas Cove Bulldawgs, with both teams winning their first round playoff games. Sara cheered Cove on as they beat beat Mesquite 21-7 and The Eagles, with Colton playing a good game with 5 solo tackles and one "pic', whomped Thorndale 42-10. Last Friday a serious cold front arrived in our area with 25 MPH winds, gusting to 40. Both games were played in the Waco area and in those windy, conditions, the best defenses won both games!
The Bulldawgs with a final, Class 5A ranking of 15th, next opponent will be Garland, ranked 17th, while Goldthwaite, ranked 17th in Class 1A teams, takes on a tough, 15th ranked team from Shiner. Digressing, Shiner is known statewide for the best locally owned and produced beer. The brewery is over 100 years old and still going strong. Both teams will face stern tests as they strive to move on in the playoffs.
Meanwhile, this past Sunday, Sara and her Bulldawg cheerleader squad defeated 15 other teams and won first place in their division of the American Cheer Power competition. The judges scored their routine the highest in all of the different classes.
In the picture, taken at the first of their routine, Sara is flippin' on the right.Having never seen a real cheer competition, this one was an eye opener for me. The girls, from all ages, are marvelous athletes and some of the routines were outstanding! There were over 75 teams involved, representing all of our great State, except for the far western portion.
Austin quickly switched to basketball, making his middle school's 'A' team and they had their first game Monday, but he came down with a stomach virus and didn't even go to school. Mikayla's middle school basketball team played played at Commanche and came out on the short end of a 40-19 score.
I didn't get to watch Mikayla's game because I went to the booster club meeting and heard the scouting reports on the football team from Shiner. The game this Friday should be a good, tough, hard hitting one!

High School Football – District Champs
All four of my Grandkids enjoyed winning weeks last week and all four of their teams won their respective district championship! Quite a feat for the four first timers!
First off, Austin and his San Marcos Diamondbacks, won a squeaker over cross town rival, Goodnight, by a 14-12 score. The Diamondbacks, losers of their first 2 games, claimed the 7th grade, district championship and ended up with 6 wins and 2 losses for the year.
Mikayla and her Goldthwaite 7th graders won their district championship, beating a scrappy team from Meridian 29-20. Goldthwaite lost their first game then coasted to a 7 and 1 record!
Sara's, 13th State ranked, Copperas Cove Bulldawgs, survived being upset last week by A&M Consolidated and came back and hammered Harker Heights 38-6, winning their Class 5A district championship and moving on to play Mesquite in the first round of the State playoffs, this Friday night in Waco.
Meanwhile, Colton and his, 19th State ranked, Goldthwaite Eagles traveled to Meridian, came from behind twice and won a close, hard fought game over the Yellow Jackets, 33-26. The win ran the Eagle's record overall to 9 and 1 and gave them the district championship with a mark of 5 and 0. This Friday, the Eagles begin the State Class 1A playoffs and square off in Moody against Thorndale.
Coach Spradley is all smiles after the big win against Meridian and poses with his 3 Freshman stand outs (L to R) Sergio, Colton and Tyler.
High school football playoffs begin this Friday night and middle school basketball started for Mikayla on Monday with her Lady Eagles taking on Dublin and losing 29-20. Mikayla did not score but collected 2 rebounds and had 3 steals. Austin will also be playing basketball but his season hasn't begun. Sara will run track and Colton will participate in track and baseball. Much more high school sports to come with my Grandkids and their teams.

High School Football
Here's Austin going after a block against Kyle.
Mikayla cheered on the Goldthwaite Middle School Eagles to a 34-6 victory over Bosqueville.Â
She is trying to watch the game looking into a bright, setting sun.
Meanwhile, in College Station, Sara was cheering but the 7th ranked, Class 5A, Copperas Cove Bulldawgs lost to a tough A&M Consolidated team 31-27. Cove fans said 2 questionable officiating calls sealed the Dawgs doom in this one. The Dawgs are now 8-1.
All wasn't lost because the 23rd ranked, Class 1 A, Goldthwaite Eagles ran their record to 8 and 1 with a 48-7 win over the Bosqueville Bulldogs. The Dogs were favored in this one but it looks like the Eagles didn't read the papers. My Grandson, Colton, was awarded the 'hit of the game' honors for a QB sack during a crucial moment of the game. I think the hit, turned the game and momentum to Goldthwaite and they never looked back, coasting to an easy win.

High School Football
Having been in Phoenix playing Senior Softball last week, I missed the football update, so here goes. All four of my Grandkid's football teams are in the running for the district championships.
The Goldthwaite Eagles, ranked 23rd in class 1A, scored 2 big wins, one over Chilton, the early season choice for district champions, by a 54-14 score and Colton had one of the best games of his young football career.Â
The picture shows him, number 65, against Chilton, dropping back in pass coverage.Then, last Friday night, the Eagles coasted to a 53-0 win over Valley Mills. The first team only played 2-1/2 quarters. This week the 7-1 Eagles, take on Bosqueville in what will be the determining game for the district championship.
Meanwhile, Mikayla's, middle school Eagles scored an easy win over Valley Mills running their record to 5-1.
Sara's Copperas Cove Bulldawgs scored two big wins, one against Belton 52-26 and last week against Killeen Shoemaker, 31-14. Cove is leading their district with an 8-0 record and a number 7 state, Class 5A, ranking. This week Cove, takes on A&M consolidated out of College Station in what looks like a real good game! Here's Sara Cheering against Shoemaker.
Finally, Austin's, San Marcos Diamondbacks, middle school, posted 2 more wins to run their record to 5-2 and play for their district championship this week.
This Friday and Saturday will be busy, 2 big football games, then Brad, Sara and Austin are coming over to hunt deer Saturday morning and after Colton reviews game films, he'll be over Saturday afternoon. Maybe there will be some good deer pictures!

Review by rheasly
Jack London's classic story tells the intense story of Buck, a dog who is kidnapped for money during the Gold Rush. The Call of the Wild is not always easy to read because not only is the language somewhat different than modern writing, it also explicitly tells of the abuse Buck suffers from the hands of his various masters and fellow dogs. Even though Buck's story is at times violent, it is also a great adventure that is ultimately hopeful. London's novel provides great opportunity to discuss the difficult issues it raises, and gives readers an opportunity to enter the consciousness of a dog. While reading, it is a good idea to have discussions to explain tough language and tough episodes. Ages 10-14.
Review by Oreillynsf
Nominally the story of a dog who adapts to the ways of the wolfpack, Call of the Wild is also about the hair thin separation between civilized life and our primal origins. London adeptly puts us inside the perspective and thoughts of Buck the dog/wolf, and provides and engaging and exciting story that kids can really get into.
Review by laurajolin05
I absolutely loved this book! It was an easy read and would be perfect for a Jr high reading level class. The story was easy to follow and I for one did not want to put the book down because I wanted to know more of what was going to happen to the animals in the story. That being said, it was easy to fall in love with most of the dogs as well as hate some of them. It's a great story of survival of the fitest! It shows a historical side by taking place during the gold rush and because dog sled teams used to be a popular method of travel.
Review by kdangleis
The Call of The Wild by Jack London is a classic adventure story that resonates with YA readers. This story is told by an omniscient narrator, giving readers the information needed to quickly identify with the canine protagonist. YA readers are quickly plunged into the adventure as this well-kept dog finds himself being thrust into the wild. The excitement builds as London provides a series of events which lead to Buck's transformation from domesticated to wild animal. This book is recommended for 12 years and up, and rightfully so. This adventure stands the test of time. It is a story that tweens, teens and adults can relate to and enjoy.
Review by Ireadthereforeiam
The story is written from the perspective of Buck, the dog. He is large, he is faithful and pragmatic, and he is kidnapped by a worker on the ranch he lives on, and sold to a trader who sends him north to run with a team dragging sleds. Poor Buck is mistreated, and faces a hard run. It is not just humans who are cruel to him, other dogs resent his size and presence, and battles for position as alpha male take place. The dog team are run to the ground, and Bucks saving grace is his size, strength and stamina. He is passed to and from inept and cruel owners until he finally meets an owner he can trust and bond with.It's a nice, if somewhat violent, story. Nothing too deep, but a read that carries you along.

The present research deals with low status group members reacting to a social identity threat.

Thousands of people are taking part in the COP21 climate change conference in Paris.
They're looking for global solutions for how to tackle the problem. It's been taking place every year since 1992.
Eighteen-year-old Marinel from the Philippines is one of the young activists addressing the conference.
Dear world leaders,
I'm Marinel and I survived one of the biggest tragedies the Philippines has ever experienced: Typhoon Haiyan.
I was 16-years-old when it happened. I witnessed how hard life is after such a disaster.
I can still hear the weeping of children nearby and the elders' prayers for help. We had to sleep under the rain in our house without walls. I had to eat spoilt food and drink dirty water. The phones were down for weeks.
Our place was isolated for days because it had been reported no-one in our village had survived. Our relatives and friends desperately tried to reach us but couldn't get through.
They thought that we were all dead.
Our house was destroyed and our belongings were washed out by the water.
All my books, clothes, my school uniform and also my hidden wealth – my school medals, certificates and books.
After Haiyan I wondered if life would ever be the same again and if I would be able to continue my studies since our school was also damaged.
