Even though Caleb won't be 6 months until Sunday, today was his 6 mo. check up with the pediatrician.
You'll be interested to know that Caleb has fallen to the 91st percentile in weight- only 20 pounds 4 ounces. He is still in the 97th for his height (29 in.) and head circumference (47 cm.). As you can tell from the picture, he had a great time at the appointment- just cheesing all over the place. The doctor was pleased with his development and said we could start some mushy adult foods in addition to baby food, so bring on the yogurt, cottage cheese, mashed potatoes, and pudding! There were fewer shots this time and I think he was more angry about having to lay down on the table than the shots themselves.
It occurred to me tonight as I was rocking Caleb to sleep that it was at my sister's 6 month check up that her pediatrician felt something odd in her tummy and that, within days, she was diagnosed with liver cancer. Because I was so young then, I really don't recall much of the ordeal. As I grew up I understood more about the situation, but it hasn't been until now, when my own little (or not so little) one is six months old, that I really grasp what my parents must have gone through. YIKES! So to Mom and Dad- you're pretty amazing, to Mo- we're glad you're here, and to God- thanks for the miracle.
Ok, changing to a more light-hearted subject: I am sure Caleb will be mortified one day when he learns that I put this on the blog but he has had some serious constipation the last week or so. Bad enough that he has woken himself up in the night trying to "get things going". The doctor said it could be a side effect of the Zyrtec that he's on for his allergies and to try mixing his cereal with prune juice or to try not taking the Zyrtec since the worst of allergy season is over. I had picked up some baby food prunes the other day and gave them to him when we got home from his appointment. Let's just say they did the trick over the course of the afternoon. Ha!
Well, that's all for now. Today was the first day in quite awhile that we didn't have any rain but it is expected to return tomorrow and keep comin' for the next week. Lovely.
I am working all day tomorrow, then spending the weekend trying to get the house clean and the next week planned. Wish me luck!!

Rain Rain Go Away
In preparation for more pool time throughout the summer, I picked up a cute hat to keep Caleb safe from the sun's rays. We practiced wearing it, even though there were no rays to be had this week. It's pretty fun, is reversible, and is made of that easy-dry material. He had fun posing in it, as you can see.
We have continued the food thing with green beans, carrots, and peas in his repertoire now. "Aunt" Heidi also gave Caleb a tiny bite of a Club cracker the other day which he loved! Now he seriously gives you the vulture eye any time you're eating something and not sharing. He has his shots this week so I am going to ask when we can start giving him Cheerios and other fun crunchy things. Along with food, we've been working on learning to drink. He actually does a little better with me holding a cup with no lid because I control how much he gets in his mouth. The sippy cup is fun and entertaining but not so much helping in learning to drink. Though it doesn't leak, he just bites on the end of it letting water pour from cup to mouth to shirt.
Caleb is really learning to turn on the cheese for the camera. When we started this weekly picture thing, it was sometimes a challenge to find a smiley picture. Now it's hard to narrow down one picture from all the great grins he's giving.
On Saturday, Megan and Damaris came over to work on some pageant prep stuff before Miss Oklahoma. At one point we were outside listening to the Miss OK opening number song and watching them work on the choreography they'd learned so far. Caleb was very entertained. Both girls are so wonderful - I am excited to see them on stage at Miss OK and am proud of them, regardless of the end results of pageant week. Caleb wanted to get a photo with these beauty queens, though both Megan and Damaris admit it wasn't their finest photo op.
We went to a graduation party for Jonathan on Saturday as well. Nothing makes you feel as old as seeing a kid you grew up babysitting graduate! Now he's at least six inches taller than me and heading to OU in the fall. Caleb got to meet some new people and see several he hadn't been around in awhile, including my OB who is a mutual friend. Everyone was impressed with how big he had become and how alert and friendly he was. It was a fun time. Congrats, Jon Jon!
We grilled out at my parents' house last night then just hung around working on pageant stuff today. Aaron and Caleb are currently napping on our bed. Caleb has never been a great napper but for the last week or so he's been getting over-tired then still only sleeping about 30 minutes so he doesn't really get caught up. I think he must be hitting a growth spurt too because he's woken up hungry several times the last few nights and has been generally fussier than usual. Looks like we'll be stocking up on those 9-12 month clothes now.
Interesting week this week with our regular babysitter out of town. Tomorrow Damaris will watch Caleb while I work 1/2 day then Mom will have him all day on Friday. Then pageant week starts next Sunday. There are still many little things to wrap up so if you are bored and want to help, let me know and I am sure I can find envelopes for you to stuff, scripts to put into binders, etc.
Have a great week!

Week 24- Better Late Than Never
Other stuff: wrapped up another busy week with the end of the school year and Riverfield's first-ever high school graduation; I took advantage of the massage my in-laws gave for my birthday on Saturday (it was great!!); we went to dinner with our small group from Covenant last night at Red Rock Canyon Grill (yum!!); pageant week is coming up quickly June 4-9 (yikes!). Guess that's about it. Have a great week!

Week 23- Happy Mother's Day to me and my fellow bloggers
We had a good Mother's Day with church, a 2 hour all-family nap (dogs included), and dinner with my family at P.F. Chang's tonight. Aaron was on poopie diaper duty all day too :)
We went to Broken Arrow's Rooster Days Festival yesterday. It was the first time Caleb sat in the stroller like a big boy, without being in the carrier in the stroller. He looked adorable and had a good time though it was a little toasty.
I thought Caleb would be done drooling now that his teeth are in. Apparently not, as shown in the photo below.
A few exciting new things this week:
1) Caleb is sitting up semi-assisted. He can catch himself if he falls forward but would fall back if he weren't sitting with us or wedged in the Boppy.
2) We introduced the first jar of baby food this week- green beans. He loved it. The books say to introduce one food at a time to make sure there's no allergic reaction so we'll stick with green beans this week then move on to carrots and squash.
3) We brushed Caleb's teeth for the first time. Our dentist, Dr. Hughes, gave us an infant toothbrush as part of our baby gift so I busted it out this week. Apparently fluoride toothpaste is bad for babies (who knew?) so I bought some special training toothpaste. Caleb was not at all sure about his first toothbrushing experience but it went much better tonight. (Disclaimer: We do not let him handle the toothbrush by himself; this was purely for photographic purposes.)
We had some fun taking photos in the yard tonight. We have a severe lack of "Mom and Caleb" photos so I asked Aaron to take some when we got home from dinner (it was my day, at least for a few more hours). Here are two that I really liked:
Other good news is that George and Ethel White are moving back to B.A. from Canada as we speak. Ethel was one of my "other mothers" growing up and one my mom's best buds. It will be great to have them back in town and fun for Caleb to grow up knowing them.
I can't really remember what else I wrote about earlier so that's the cliff's notes version. Oh, and a very Happy Mother's Day to everyone!!

22 weeks (that's 5 months!!)
So, as you can see, Caleb and Aaron had some quality time together this week. And you just never know what will happen when you leave Dad and Son by themselves. Wednesday was Caleb's 5 month birthday (can you believe it!) so Aaron was in charge of taking a picture for the month-by-month frame we have. Evidently Aaron wanted to go with a theme photo. Here's what we ended up with:
We have mastered the cereal thing and have tried to start doing it more than once a day. Good news is that Caleb is not picky so he doesn't care about the temperature or whether it's mixed with water or milk. Sometimes he gets a little antsy if you put him in the highchair then make him wait too long for the cereal but once he gets settled in there, he really likes it. In fact, he has fallen asleep in the highchair several times this week, usually after hanging out for awhile and getting bored. However, there was one instance where he could hardly keep his eyes open between bites. Aaron got it on video and it is pretty darn funny.
Photo Sharing - Upload Video - Video Sharing - Share Photos
On Friday, Caleb's second bottom tooth came in and over the weekend they both really pushed up out of the gums. Enough that I have been on the receiving end of a not-so-gentle bite while he was eating, if you catch my drift. HOLY COW! I seriously got tears in my eyes it hurt so badly. You can tell it is a new sensation for Caleb too because he spends a lot of time running his tongue over the area and making this weird whistling noise because of the drool that he's inhaling and exhaling along with it. Here's the latest pic of his teeth (I promise we'll stop torturing him to get these photos soon).

James Hammerton has a write up of the Glasgow Convention over at Magna Carta Plus.
The first thing I'd like to do is to congratulate both NO2ID Scotland, especially Dr Geraint Bevan, and the IAS, especially Professor Mike Nellis, for organising a highly successful event. There were over 100 people from all sorts of backgrounds attending, more than had originally been planned for. The video links from the London Convention worked very well and there was a wide range of speakers and topics covered in the Glasgow sessions. I was particularly impressed with the questions from the audience and subsequent discussions that accompanied the talks. Notably, most people stayed for the whole day, i.e. from 9.30am through to a slightly late 5.40pm finish. The atmosphere was positive and I think most people will have come away from the event knowing a lot more than they did before, knowing who to get in touch with about these issues, and also with some ideas to followup on for campaigning on these issues. I shall talk in a bit more detail about what was said at the Glasgow Convention in a followup article.

I was just wondering whether anybody else suffered from hot flushes and severe nausea that comes on very suddenly and leaves you in the bathroom for hours on end.
It is becoming more and more regular and is awful. One episode left me shaking so much I ended up wetting myself.
I put it down to "just another symptom" but thought I would ask for other peoples opinions.
Thanks in advance

Another enemy of our soul is complaining and murmuring. It seems we can always find something to gripe about, and complaining must be second nature to some. I will never forget what my brother-in-law said to me when I got my first job. I just graduated from college and when school started, I didn't have a job. But about a month into the school year, I was hired as a teacher. I was happy, or at least thought I was. But what did I do? Complain.
This job was at two schools that were 15+ miles apart. I taught at one all morning and ate lunch while I drove to the second school for the afternoon. My room was in the back of the library in both schools. In one I had a 15″ white board and a book shelf. I had no desk in either place, but had to use elementary tables and chairs. So I complained. That is until my brother-in-law reminded me that I should be happy to have a job. I had to agree and gained a different perspective of my situation.
The dictionary defines complaining as: to express dissatisfaction, pain, uneasiness, censure, resentment, or grief; find fault. It is also to tell about your pains, ailments, etc.
So why do we complain? Does it make things better? Does it make the problem go away? Of course, the answers are no. So why do we do it?
Complaining is the denial of responsibility. When I complained about my lack of proper equipment at my job, I failed to take responsibility to make the best of what I had or ask for something more.
Complaining is the act of dwelling on the negative. Instead of focusing on the joy of teaching, the opportunity to help my wonderful students who were put in my class because they were failing English, and the opportunity to get acquainted with fellow teachers, I dwelt on the negative and complained.
Complaining is addictive. Once we start complaining, we keep going until we realize how ugly it is and make a conscious effort to stop. People who get in the habit of complaining usually complain about everything. One of the hardest type of person to endure, at least for me, is a negative person. Nothing pleases this kind of person. It's like a darkness overshadows every part of his or her life until there's no sunshine to be found. How sad!
Selfishness & discontent are causes of complaining. When people think only of themselves, it is so easy to complain about things that don't serve them. When we are discontent with our station in life or our situation, we need to find a solution rather than complain. When we realize that things cannot be changed, we also need to accept the fact that complaining does not help and avoid it. We are reminded of Paul's words:
Do all things without murmurings and questionings: that ye may become blameless and harmless, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom ye are seen as lights in the world Philippians 2: 14-15

How Design-Build Contractors Can Benefit From 3D Illustration/
Design-build contracting is growing for a reason. As you know, it's less expensive than working with a separate architect and general contractor, the contractor has more accountability and the process is faster because construction can start before design is complete.
The design-build method has only been around since the 1980s, but Engineering News Record predicts that 55 percent of projects will be design-build by 2015, compared to 35 percent design-bid-build. It's not just homeowners who are contributing to the increase: Governments and private businesses are turning to design-build to save money and speed up projects.
The one drawback to running a design-build company is that the task of pleasing a client falls solely on your shoulders. You can't blame the architect if the kitchen doesn't flow into the living room the way the client expected, and you can't blame the builder if the wrong crown molding was installed. That makes contractor-client communication that much more important.
Communicating With A 3D Illustration
Realistic interior renderings can greatly aid that couple choosing the appropriate color or materials for their living spaces.
Traditional floor plans, CAD designs and sketches have long been used to show customers what a finished home or building will look like. These 2D images will always serve a purpose, but they may not be the best way to help customers understand what they're getting. Often, buyers don't fully grasp how the drawings translate to real life. They might think the flooring they selected looks great until they actually see it on the floor. Or they may think the siding and trim match perfectly until they actually go up.
A 3D illustration, on the other hand, is the closest thing to "seeing" a home or building in real life before construction begins. These are computer-generated images that allow the client to picture the finished product, not imagine it. They improve communication between your design-build team and the client by making sure you're on the same page. If the house appears too close to the road, the client will see that before the foundation is laid.
A 3D illustration can be full color or black-and-white. It can show the home or building, inside or out, from multiple angles. A 3D illustration can be more literal with a photo-like depiction of the property; the better term is actually an architectural rendering. But you can also choose to go more artistic, particularly if the image is intended for general marketing.
Increasingly, architectural rendering firms are also offering interactive products such as virtual video tours. These take clients around and inside the property as if they were walking around with a head-cam. If they wood flooring makes the room look to dark, that will be obvious to the client. If the crown molding is too large, that will pop out.
Village Features, LLC offers all of the above: 3D illustrations, architectural renderings and virtual video tours.
Saving/Making Money With 3D Illustrations
Sometimes, spending a little money upfront helps you save in the long run. The less time you have to spend planning, designing and revising a project, the lower total costs will be. A 3D illustration reduces design time by making it more likely that a client will sign off on the design early on in the process. It also prevents costly change orders after construction is underway. And when you use 3D illustrations to present the project to local boards and officials, the planning process is likely to go faster.
Design-build contractors also like to use 3D illustrations for marketing. A 3D illustration of a past project is fodder for websites, brochures, advertisements and more.

Dayton Daily News (Ohio)
January 11, 2018
By Kartikay Mehrotra
Ford rigged at least 500,000 heavy-duty trucks to beat emissions tests, drivers claimed in a lawsuit, adding to the tally of car makers linked to diesel-cheating allegations worldwide that started in 2015 with Volkswagen.
Ford's F-250 and F-350 Super Duty diesel pickups, a slice of the top-selling F-Series, are spewing emissions as much as 50 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide pollutants, according to the complaint. The trucks sold from 2011 to 2017 cost $8,400 more than their gasoline-fueled counterparts, the filing shows.
Ford marketed the trucks as "the cleanest super diesel ever," while the lawyer behind the suit said they should have been called "Super Dirty."
"The vehicle's own on-board diagnostic software indicates emission control system to be operating as Ford intended, even though its real world performance grossly exceeds the standard," attorney Steve Berman said in the complaint.
Ford worked with German automotive supplier Robert Bosch to mask the vehicles' inefficiencies in order to maintain overall performance, according to the complaint filed Wednesday in Detroit federal court. Bosch is named as a defendant in the proposed class action.
Ford is at least the fifth carmaker accused of diesel cheating in the United States, once again raising questions about the effectiveness of diesel technology. The dispute also casts a shadow on Ford's "precious" F-Series, the top selling line of vehicles in the United States every year since 1981.
The lawsuit could pose a risk to Ford's plans to introduce a diesel engine in its smaller F-150 pickup. The automaker has said it expects the powertrain will boost fuel economy to 30 miles per gallon on the highway. That would confer significant bragging rights for Ford and potentially help its trucks outperform new models from General Motors and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles coming out this year.

President Obama is struggling to get members of his party who are running for election in 2014 to come to his side in support of Obamacare, his signature achievement. In fact, a growing list of Democrats are trying to distance themselves from Obama's takeover of the nation's healthcare system.
President Obama is telling Democrats that they shouldn't apologize for being on board the Obamacare bandwagon and says they should be proud of the law. He insists that "there is a strong, good, right story to tell."
But members of his party running for election or re-election are not so sure.
As far back as November 2013, a group of incumbent Democrats looking to launch re-election campaigns met with the administration to discuss the disastrous rollout of Obamacare. But things have not improved much since then. Democrats are still running away from Obamacare by the numbers.
1. When Democratic candidate for Senate, Michelle Nunn of Georgia, was asked if she would have voted for Obamacare, she gave a non-answer sort of answer, saying, "So at the time that the Affordable Health Care Act was passed, I was working for Points of Light. I wish that we had had more people who had tried to architect a bipartisan legislation." She went on to say it was "impossible" to say what she'd have done if she were in Congress when the Obamacare vote was held.
2. Democrat candidate for Congress in West Virginia, David Tennant, is attempting to distance himself from the administration on a number of issues. "If the President wants to promote opportunity, he needs to rethink his energy policies. The President is wrong on coal and I will fight him or anyone else who wants to take our coal jobs," he said in January.
3. Kentucky Democrat Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes has several times refused to answer a straight yes or no question on whether she would have voted for Obamacare.
4. Nebraska Democrat and candidate for the U.S. House, Pete Festersen, has refused to answer whether he supports the healthcare law.
5. Staci Appel, an Iowa Democrat, also refused to answer Obamacare questions recently.
6. Another Iowan and current member of the U.S. House, Democrat Senate candidate Bruce Braley, is also pulling against Obamacare. Braley just voted with Republicans on a bill to put a crimp in the law. "President Obama promised that Americans could keep their health insurance if they liked it, and Iowans think that promise should be honored. That's why I supported today's bill," he said.
7. Michigan's Gary Peters also voted with the Republicans and Rep. Braley on the same bill.
A recent article in The Hill detailed how several Democrats up for reelection are trying to squirm away from Obamacare, so the number of nervous Democrats continues to mount.
8. Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) recently told The Hill that he is hearing a lot of grumbling in the ranks. "A lot of members are very concerned" over the multiple failures of Obamacare, he said. "This is a swelling chorus," he continued.
9. Kay Hagan (D-NC) recently wrote a letter stating that the problems in Obamacare "are simply unacceptable, and Americans deserve answers and swift solutions." In January, Hagan declined to join Obama on a campaign swing he made in North Carolina. It was obvious she did not wish to be seen with the President.
10. Embattled Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) has launched a TV ad criticizing the President over his "lie of the year" claim that if we liked our insurance plans we could keep them. "What I've said to the President is, 'You told them that they could keep it,'" Landrieu said in the ad. "This is a promise that you made. This is a promise that you should keep," she added.
11. Mark Begich (D-AK) recently said that he has "been frustrated from the beginning." In a letter to constituents last November, Begich said, "It is simply unacceptable for Alaskans to bear the brunt of the administration's mismanagement of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, and that is the message U.S. Senator Mark Begich delivered to President Obama today." This year Begich also criticized the administration for less signups than there could have been. "I think that number would have been even higher if the administration hadn't dropped the ball on managing the website and larger rollout," he said.
12. Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) recently tried to distance himself, not just from Obamacare, but from a series of Obama's policies. "I've always said that I'll work with the President when I think he's right but oppose him when I think he's wrong. I'll continue to oppose his agenda when it's bad for Arkansas and our country," he said.
13. Montana Senator John Walsh made sure that his constituents knew that he did not vote for Obamacare. "I was preparing soldiers and airmen to deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan. So I did not vote on the Affordable Care Act–just want to make that clear," Walsh said at a candidates' forum. In May, Walsh said that the "jury is still out" on Obamacare and pointed out that "the intent was to bring healthcare costs down and provide health care for all of our citizens. As of today, we're not seeing that."

You already know that your nose is a very important and hardworking body part. It allows you to breathe, smell, and filter air. It greatly affects your appearance, and has a complex and intricate structure. Did you know, however, about the different ways your nose can be damaged?
The most obvious signs of nasal damage are those caused by trauma. Falling, getting into a fight, a car accident, or other incident can cause damage, even breakage to your nose. Unfortunately, trauma often leaves people with compromised function and an undesirable nasal appearance. Rhinoplasty can typically improve crookedness and other imperfections caused by trauma.
Drug Use
Past or current snorted drug use can thin the cartilage in the nose, sometimes resulting in a hole in the septum. Of course, drug use is not healthy for any part of the body, but it can cause major problems in the nose. A rhinoplasty can sometimes resolve these issues.
The membranes in your nose can become irritated if they are too dry. A little humidity in the air can help keep your nose healthy and functioning properly. You might find you're sleeping and breathing better if you add a humidifier to your room. Prone to nosebleeds? Giving your nose the moisture it needs can also help prevent nosebleeds. Nasal sprays can irritate and dry your nose out–make sure not to overuse them.
Multiple Surgeries
If you're interested in rhinoplasty, make sure to select an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon for your procedure. A rhinoplasty produces scarring in the nose, and cartilage shifts will change its internal structure. In inexperienced hands, a rhinoplasty can cause structural and breathing issues, which must be resolved with a second surgery. Make sure to do your homework when selecting a surgeon!
If you have a damaged nose, or would like a cosmetic rhinoplasty, Dr. Robert Mounsey can help. As a double board-certified rhinoplasty specialist, Dr. Mounsey has seen it all and he takes a highly customized approach to each patient's case. For more information, contact Dr. Mounsey at Revesse (416.438.2499) in Toronto to set up your rhinoplasty consultation.

Has Brahmanandam walked out of Dictator?
Nandamuri Balakrishna and Brahmanandam worked together in several films. But now, the audience will surely miss their comedy in Nandamuri Bala Krishna's 99th film Dictator. If the latest reports are to be believed, Brahmanandam has reportedly walked out of the film.
Going into details, the makers asked Brahmanandam for bulk dates which the comedian couldn't oblige. As he was doing several films, he cited date issues and politely denied the offer and walked out from the film. An official confirmation is awaited in this regard.
Directed by Sriwaas, Anjali and Sonal Chauhan are playing the female leads in the film. Eros International is producing the film in association with Vedaashwa Creations.

ARELLO Certified and approved by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) to meet the SAE/CORE requirements for Texas real estate licensees. (learn more)
The practice of real estate is defined by the role the law of agency plays. It is incumbent, therefore, upon the real estate professional and licensee to have a working and practical knowledge of agency laws and how the consumer and professional will interact under those laws during the course of any given real estate transaction.
This course discusses the principal-agent and master-servant relationships, the authority of an agent, the termination of an agent's authority, the fiduciary and other duties of an agent, employment law, deceptive trade practices, listing or buying representation procedures, and the disclosure of agency. Upon completion of the course, students will understand the role agency relationships play in a real estate transaction and be able to properly apply law, rule and policy to their practice.
Table of Contents
Unit 1: Agency Concepts
Unit 2: Basic Agency Relationships, Disclosure and Duties to the Client
Unit 3: Duties and Disclosures to Third Parties
Unit 4: Seller Agency
Unit 5: Buyer Agency
Unit 6: Representing More Than One Party in a Transaction: Intermediary Brokerage
Unit 7: Creation and Termination of Agency
Unit 8: Clarifying Agency Relationships
Unit 9: Employment Issues
Unit 10: Agency, Ethics and the Law
Unit 11: Deceptive Trade Practices and Consumer Protection Act
Unit 12: Implementation and Presentation
Students can expect numerous exercises, quizzes, case studies and the course will be completed with a cumulative final exam. All elements presented in the course are required for course completion.
Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) rules govern the delivery of online qualifying education courses (pre-license & SAE) and must be followed by all schools.
All of VanEd's pre-license and SAE courses have been approved by TREC, and the following sections describe how the TREC rules are implemented.
TREC mandates that you cannot receive credit for working more than 12 hours per day in any course.
This implies that a 30-hour course cannot be completed in less than 3 days from your Start Date (defined as when you first open the course). Furthermore, starting and completing more than one course within the same 3-day period is not allowed. You may work on multiple courses at the same time, however, you may not complete a course within 3 days of the completion date for any other course.
As you move through the VanEd coursework, your time spent online in the courses will be recorded, and we will notify you if additional time in the course is needed to meet the TREC requirements.
As with all VanEd courses, you have a full year from the purchase date in which to complete any course. After one year, your course enrollment will be inactivated. Reactivation for an additional year is available with fee equal to 35% of your purchase price.
Courses are divided into Topics, and TREC rules mandate an exam covering each Topic and that those exams are passed with a 100% score. Topic exams must have a minimum of 3 questions and the questions are drawn randomly from a larger pool. Topic exams may be taken multiple times without penalty.
Every course is culminated with a multiple-choice final exam which has a minimum passing score of 70%.
If you do not pass the final exam, you are required, per TREC rules, to wait 3 days before attempting the exam again, and the second attempt must be within 90 days of the first attempt. If you do not pass the second attempt, or do not complete your second attempt within 90 days, you must repeat the course in full. VanEd DOES NOT charge a fee to repeat the course in either of these circumstances.
Final Exam Proctor
The course final exam is taken online, but in the physical presence of a proctor. The proctoring procedure is simple to follow and allows you to use a wide range of individuals as your proctor. Both students and proctors will submit an affidavit to VanEd when the final is passed, after which your course completion certificates will be provided online.
Detailed proctor information and forms are available inside each course at the time of the Final Exam. Failure to follow the proctoring rules will require you to take the exam again.

France's nuclear strategy: Full speed ahead, for now
Built in 1977, France's oldest nuclear plant should never have celebrated its 40th birthday. François Hollande promised voters and his Green party allies that if elected, he would shut the Fessenheim site down before the end of his term. Located on a seismic fault line, the power plant has worried French, German and Swiss environmentalists for years, but according to the Nuclear Safety Agency, France's nuclear watchdog, there is "no need" to shut the plant from a safety point of view.

What is Lynching?
Lynching refers primarily to the mob violence flourishing in the United States from the Civil War to the 1930's in which many people, especially Negroes, were beaten, tortured, mutilated, or even hanged or burned alive, without trial or any legal processes. More broadly, "lynch law" is any form of extrajudicial action in which corporal or capital punishment is imposed by private persons without legal authority. This has occurred in many countries, especially those in which government was loosely organized or not well developed. Lynching is sometimes compared with historical instances of private or semi-private administration of summary justice, such as the Vehmgerichte, medieval German courts; the hermandad, local groups formed to police the roads in 12th century Spain; and Lydford law, a localized name for summary punishment in 18th century England.
The terms "lynch law" and "lynching" often are associated with Charles Lynch, a Virginia justice of the peace, who at the time of the American Revolution punished thieves and Loyalists by whippings and imprisonment. During this period many unofficial groups took the law into their hands in this manner. In the American West settlers often used extralegal methods in dealing with cattle rustlers, murderers, and horse thieves. Vigilante action was viewed as an acceptable method of enforcing rough but speedy justice in areas with rudimentary government.
In Southern states, violence and vigilante action persisted and increased. The antebellum South was known as the land of lynching before prejudice against black people became a major factor. Many lynchings resulted from efforts to protect the slave system. Abolitionists and persons assisting escaped slaves frequently were lynch victims.
Embittered by defeat in the Civil War and outraged by the rise of black and white Reconstruction governments, white Southerners launched a movement to "redeem" the South, disfranchise the blacks, and restore white supremacy. Lynching was a weapon wielded to this end.

Arkansas, done with Kentucky, staying out of its feelings from here on out
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Mike Anderson didn't want to talk any more about it. Manny Watkins demurred. Dusty Hannahs didn't speak a word. Seemed like everyone around the Arkansas basketball team is done with Kentucky.
They're not just done with Kentucky, but with everything surrounding that game — Zimmerman, throat slashes, hard fouls, Dick Vitale — no more. Vague references were brought up during the players' and Anderson's availability Tuesday, little else. Bygones and all that.
The coach
Tuesday was the first time Anderson was asked by local media about what moved him to say what he said on the Paul Finebaum Show on Tuesday. He paused before answering.
"I'm past that now. We're talking about Seton Hall right now," Anderson said. "I said what I said. You can talk about me, but my kids, we've got some good kids here and they're doing the right things. I had a chance to talk to Dick Vitale and we're on the same page. We've turned that page. Let's move forward."
RELATED: Arkansas beats Seton Hall if …
Anderson won hearts and minds of the last remaining few who might not have been with him in Razorbacks country with his remarks toward Vitale. But he isn't the only one ready to leave it be.
The players
The grandest coincidence Tuesday was Watkins' answer to the very first question of the media event. Watkins is a smart guy and the best talker on the team. He's choosy with his words.
So when he was asked how preparing for the NCAA Tournament was different than preparing for the SEC Tournament or any other game, he almost certainly said what he did on purpose.
"When you get too emotional for a certain game, that can be bad for you," he said.
RELATED: How far will Hogs, SEC teams go in NCAA Tournament
That was clearly the case against Kentucky on Sunday. It shouldn't be against Seton Hall. Even a measure of nervousness from the NCAA Tournament — the first for everyone on the roster except Watkins, guard Anton Beard and big man Moses Kingsley — can't compare to the overwhelming emotions that seeped through against the Wildcats.
A team that had various emotional reactions this season hadn't come near having anything as pronounced as Sunday. Accordingly, there's a reason to believe Friday won't be a repeat. Add on to that the players saying it's not going to happen again, and you almost have to take their word for it.
And why not.
Arkansas will clearly be playing with something to prove come Friday. Whether it's carryover from Sunday or something independent — or a mixture of both — no one knows. Emotions can't be quantified. But this isn't a team on its last legs. It's a team that heard mostly negativity about its attitude and style for the past two days.
RELATED: Arkansas, Seton Hall similarities
It's a team staying out of its feelings.
"We're past it," Watkins said. "We're moving on to Seton Hall and this NCAA Tournament because we're trying to win a national championship. That's the goal."
Arkansas is a No. 8 seed in the South Region. It faces Seton Hall at 1:30 p.m. ET Friday in Greenville, S.C. A victory would put the Razorbacks in a likely second-round game against No. 1 seed North Carolina.

These photographs were taken in Central Nigeria as the 2011 elections were taking place. I rode with the gypsies from village to village in the Niger state, trying our best to ignore the unrest and hysteria Nigeria was experiencing. We stopped for a moment at a construction site to take a break from the road, but were run off for being too close to a dynamite stockpile. I wondered if that explosion would've even been noticed with all the other bombs going off in the country. Instead of running we stopped for a picture and this series was born.

A/N: This is my take on SkinnySlim22's fanfic, "Teaching Him the Ropes". I made an alternate "ending" because I wanted to see "more action" between Skinner and Edna.
If I had grammar mistakes, please tell me so I can fix it!
The principal and the teacher embraced inside the dimly lit janitor's closet, kissing passionately. He ran his fingers through her hair, mussing it up, as she thrust her tongue into his mouth, hers wrestling with his. At last, they were together.
That whole nasty ordeal was at an end now. It was finished. They'd confessed their love to the town (and enjoyed the most enchanted of evenings in the process), retained their jobs, and managed to fool the Simpson kid into thinking it was over between them. (Then again, as Seymour Skinner had said, elementary students would buy anything they told them.)
Ha! Edna Krabappel thought, tilting her head back so she could receive another series of passionate kisses on the neck. (For such a repressed man, Seymour was a great kisser- it made her wonder who he might have practiced on.) Over? It's hardly beginning!
She sighed in pleasure at Seymour's attentions. This was perfect timing. Everyone had gone home. They probably thought they'd retired to their respective abodes as well, rather than retreat back here. After all, they didn't care to risk their jobs any further, right?
Hardly so. And tonight...she had a debt to pay, what with what Skinner had declared, out there, on the roof.
He pulled away, almost backing into the janitor's cart in the process. Under the light of the single bulb hanging in the closet, she could see that he looked a bit perplexed. Worried even. "Did...did you want to stop? Already?"
She laughed, shaking her head. "You think I'd let an opportunity like this pass me?" She took a few minutes to catch her breath before continuing. "Seymour, as much as you embarrassed yourself out there-"
"Embarrassed? Edna, I simply stated the truth-"
"Seymour, be honest. Is this where you saw yourself when you were younger? A forty year old virgin?"
"Well, no, but..." He sighed. "Edna, Mother grounded me for a month because she caught me masturbating." Might as well be frank, now that she knew he'd never had a woman. Besides, if they still went on together, Edna would surely have to be tangling with Agnes somewhere down the line. "She doesn't let me lock the door- says I can't be trusted- she just barged right in! She looked like she was having a heart attack when she saw me." The principal of Springfield Elementary laughed bitterly. "If I did anything with a woman, it'd probably kill her."
Edna only smiled and leaned in, planting another kiss on his lips. "Who says she has to know, Seymour?" she asked him as they parted. "Who says anyone has to know?"
He was blushing a little, she noted. "Edna? Are you suggesting we-"
A shake of the head. "No, I'm saying it." She removed her green sweater, letting it fall to the floor with a whisper. "If any woman has to teach you the ropes, Seymour, I want it to be me." In a heartbeat, she divested herself of her blouse as well and flung that aside. She was down to her bra now. She turned her back, offering him the clasp.
"You can do the honours."
"Edna, I..." It was getting a little hot in here, wasn't it? That decided, Seymour loosened his tie...hesitated, and then rid himself of it completely, then removed his blazer. He nodded. Better late than never. "Just give me a moment."
His hands are shaking as he undoes the clasp, she notes. God, he really never has done this before! Eh, no matter. She could consider it a first time for the both of them- his first time with any woman, her first time with a man she actually cared about, not some one night stand or the long absent Mr. Krabappel.
Skinner had finally succeeds in undoing her bra, which he tossed over his shoulder. It ended up hanging on top of one of the brooms. Edna turned around, cupping her now-bare breasts under her hands.
"Go ahead, Seymour. Feel free- they won't bite."
For a moment, Seymour Skinner has painful memories of another day, just five years ago in fact, when he'd snuck a filthy magazine home, futilely hoping to conceal it under the mattress. (In hindsight, he should've known that was been the first place Mother would've looked.) There'd been a woman on the front page doing the exact same thing, he recalled. Maybe she'd been younger than the woman before him, but the gesture had been the same. Offering her breasts to any man who wanted them.
But this wasn't some woman in a magazine. This was Edna Krabappel. His woman.
He does what his gut tells him to (and what he thought of doing to that woman in the magazine back then.) He reaches out and caresses her breasts with his hands, moving them up and down, marvelling at how soft her skin was, how her nipples were already hardening at his touch. Was that really all it took?
She purred as he ceases exploring her chest's contours and begins to massage her breasts, kneading them in a circular motion.
"Seymour...keep doing that" she murmured.
He obliged her for a while longer. She was so warm under his touch, so responsive. He could feel her skin prickling with goose bumps, tingling under his hands. He could feel himself becoming overwhelmed with pleasure as well...maybe in a moment, eh? Now was Edna's time.
Hmm...first came touching, then came fondling...what now? the principal wondered. Ah, that was it! He leaned forwards and kissed one breast on the now rock-hard nipple, repeating the exercise several times. He'd heard somewhere that women enjoyed that. Edna delivered on his expectations, sighing happily as he lavished attention on her.
She laughed as he kissed her again. "Oh, Seymour, you're stiff as a board!"
Skinner's lips parted from her nipple and he let go of her breast, however reluctantly. "Ah...indeed I am." he said, noting the growing bulge. He bit his lip, mentally reminding himself that he was a man, at least to her, and it was only natural.
"Alright, enough about those." She nodded towards her breasts. "Let me handle this part." Edna reached out and undid the top button of his shirt, then another, and another, until his bare chest was exposed. She was genuflecting before him now, and moved in, showering his chest with kisses. He shuddered in pleasure under the onslaught. She moved down, sinking to her knees, even as she continued to kiss him, until she was eye-level with his belt.
Edna didn't wait for permission- she was more of a teacher where this was concerned than he was anyway. She undid the buckle and went for the pants' zipper, pulling that open and his pants down.
There it was, standing up in anticipation. She rested one cheek against the covered bulge and he moaned a little, albeit involuntarily. Her tongue flickered from between her lips, stroking his erect manhood. All that separated the two was a layer of white cotton.
Skinner breathed deeply, savouring the euphoria that that simple gesture was producing. "Edna..." He licked his lips. Was it dry in her or what? "Edna, you are amazing."
"I haven't started yet." the teacher responded. She seized the waistband of his briefs and pulled them down as well. Now his cock was in full view, and she was free to take it. And take it she did.
She leaned forwards, oblivious to how her back was pressing against the tools in the closet, and ran her tongue along the soft, leathery flesh, first one side, and then the underside, taking some time to taste the forming precum there, working her way down to the base. As she explored his manhood with her tongue, she reached up and stroked his balls lovingly, knowing how much pleasure that could give a man.
Seymour had given up on words, but she could hear him breathing deeply in the background. She grinned and licked his sac as well, noting how he jumped at that one.
She went to work on the head next, wrapping her lips around it and sucking- not too hard; she didn't want to scare him off, after all. Instead, she continued sucking lightly for a moment or two, savouring its salty tang, before going at it with more gusto, and going for more. Several more inches of his cock disappeared into her mouth.
Skinner bucked a little at this sensation, attempting to find his voice again. "I...oh...that...keep doing that." was all he managed to choke out.
Edna continued, feeding it into her mouth, letting it slip out, catching it again. The teacher set up a rhythmic motion, her head bobbing up and down as she serviced his cock. After a moment, the principal joined in with a rhythm of his own, thrusting his hips back and forth.
Moments passed. Who could say how long it really was? It really was getting hot in here. That or something else. Something was building inside of him, Skinner noted, moaning a bit louder as Edna worked on him. Something...big. He supposed this was the moment where-
He came, shooting a jet of come down Edna's throat. She broke away, and swallowed it, licking her lips. She gazed up at him lovingly. "Don't worry about it, Seymour. You taste wonderful."
He was beet red now. "If you say so, Edna..."
"I do say so, Seymour. Go ahead, try it." She got to her feet and kissed him, causing Skinner to taste his own juices. It wasn't the best of flavours (he was betting that Edna tasted much better), but then again, this was the fruit of her efforts, and his...oh, GM Chrysler, Mother wasn't here...his orgasm.
They broke apart, the acrid taste of salt semen hanging between them.
"Let's do some paperwork at your office" she said in a seductive voice.
Skinner got what she was really saying and followed her to his office. They left the confines of the janitor's closet. They were (so) lucky the school was still empty.
They resumed their passionate kissing and fell to the floor, not minding the hit, and Seymour being on top. Their tongues were fighting for dominance as he was passing his fingers through her hair, mussing it up once again. At the same time, both were removing each others' clothes and throwing them at random points of the office. They continued until they were exposing their bare, naked bodies.
The couple broke apart from the passionate kiss one more time and then...
She gasped.
The principal sneaked one of his hands to reach her areas. He lightly circled her pussy with his finger. Knowing she granted him the permission to explore her, he inserted his index into her snatch, which earned a not-so-sharp intake of air and a moan from Edna. Taking it as a sign to keep going, Skinner began to thrust the digit in and out of her moist entrance. After a bit, he was able to add another finger and she moaned louder.
"Seymour..." she moaned. "That feels so good."
After a few minutes, he removed his fingers and then soon enhanced the pleasure by sliding in his tongue, licking first the corners of her clit as his member was getting harder and harder each second. Her womb just felt so warm, yet felt so good, so juicy, so sweet. It was such a unique flavour he wished to taste every day.
"I want you now" she moaned a little louder
He continued, repeating the same in a very rhythmic way as he ignored what she said. Edna was urging him to make her go crazy. And that was about to happen.
The teacher spread her legs as the school's principal positioned his member at her entrance. Carefully, he thrusts into her tight cunt. Edna moaned. Skinner was moving, first, in a decent speed and then, when she wrapped her legs around his waist, he sped up his rhythmic motion.
How could such a very repressed man can can give the pleasure Edna was now feeling?
Skinner continued as his member now went fast on her thrusting in and out right out of control. The heat coming from his penis and her soft vagina was making him feel red like a steam engine. Every pound, every hard thrust hurt Edna inside more often, but outside, she liked every painful thrust of it, especially because it came from the man she loved.
"Harder! Faster! Deeper! Deeper!" Edna moaned viciously as Seymour's cock kept squeezing inside her nice and painfully at the same time he was being stimulated by the odour being secreted by the bodies' sweating. She felt him so hard and so big that it was really satisfying her, more than all the one-night stands she has had.
Suddenly, Skinner gave her a tongue kiss as he kept pounding her pussy hard like some natural disaster. She felt his tongue was so warm, and then hers fought for dominance one more time.
By this time, Seymour's sweat had dripped right on Edna's face and body. It was finally about time for him to cum.
"Edna... Edna." He moaned her name as his thrusts were getting a little violent. However, neither of them appeared to care though, as they were both approaching climax.
The principal continued thrusting as he leaned forward and began to suckle one of the teacher's bouncing breasts. After a few minutes, he moved to the other, lightly biting the nipple first and then sucking it. Edna had to admit it felt remarkably amazing as Skinner thought he was too worried about actually hurting her. This was what she had been wanting for all this time, rough, hardcore sex. And the only one who gave it was actually a now not-so-repressed man.
"Edna... I'm about... I'm about..." Seymour moaned as he slammed his member all the way into Edna as he-
He finally came, spilling his seed into her womb.
Edna's muscles spasmed around Skinner's penis, which caused him to cum again, filling her up. He pulled out and lay down next to his lover. She moved closer to him and he put his arms around her as both were panting, all thanks to their sexual activity.
Seymour kissed her forehead and moved Edna a little more closely to him. She looked at him. He had a smile, and it wasn't the typical one. He was really happy and satisfied about what he did: losing his virginity to the only woman he ever loved, Edna Krabappel.
"You are amazing." He said. "Edna, we ought to do this more often. It goes against every bone in my body to say that, but-"
She laughed. "Seymour, you need to loosen up once in a while. And yes, we will do this more often."
"You really are an effective teacher, you know." he told her as he rubbed Edna's shoulder very softly.
"What can I say? It's my job."
He returned with laughter of his own. "Indeed so."
"Let's go before someone sees us." She remarked.
"I'll go for the rest of our clothes" he said
Seymour left to the janitor's closet to retrieve his blazer, Edna's bra, blouse, and sweater.
After a few seconds, he returned to his office and handed them to her.
They dressed in silence, the memories of the passion they'd shared still hovering above them.
The school was still as empty and dead silent as they'd left it. They continued talking about the school and stuff as they strode out of the school and into the night air.
"Goodnight, Seymour." She said and she kissed him in his cheek. "See you tomorrow."
"Goodnight, Edna." He said to her as she left to her car.
He made his way to his car, thinking of ways he could excuse his absence once he faced Agnes. Oddly enough, it wasn't bothering him as much as usual. In fact, he had to remind himself to keep on track as he drove home. He was too busy thinking of Edna Krabappel and what other things she might teach him.
He had to admit it, he wanted to do it sometime again with her.
He has done something Mother forbids him to do. And he didn't care. He has fooled her couple of times in the past, and he's sure he'll fool her again.
A/N: Once again, if I had spelling/grammar/whatever mistakes, please tell me so I can fix it!
I hope you liked this fanfic.
Spread the SkinnerxEdna love ;)

By Nelson Belen, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Saturday, November 19th, Rio de Janeiro's Carioca Cricket Club (CCC) will be hosting their final intra-club match of the year at the São Fernando Polo & Cricket Club near Itaguaí. The season-ending event caps a successful 2016 season for the club before they embark on a tour of Lima, Peru in early December.
"It's our last internal match of the year in Rio, but remember our CCC team will be traveling to Lima in early December, to drink and eat (and play cricket)," explained CCC chairman and English expatriate, Tobias Hanbury, to The Rio Times.
At Saturday's event, Hanbury added jokingly, "we will have people running around pretending to play world-class cricket," but, in addition to cricket, the all-day affair will also feature, "exhibition-polo, frolicking, swimming, tennis, costela no fogo do chão…banter, beer and boxes. And all this in the corridor of Suncertainty," exclaimed the excited club chairman.
The São Fernando Polo & Cricket Club is about a seventy-minute drive from Ipanema, and the CCC arranges transport free-of-charge for everyone who wants to go and spend a glorious day away from the confines of Rio de Janeiro city. The bus leaves Praça General Osorio at 7:45 AM, and returns to Rio de Janeiro at 5:30 PM.
The intra-club cricket match is actually open to anyone who wants to play, members and non-members alike, including friends, family and children who just want to spend a day out of the city watching sports, eating delicious food and making the most of the club's grounds. As Hanbury explained, "You don't have to play cricket. But you do need a sense of humor and a thirst for all things."
The CCC's final intra-club match closes a successful 2016 campaign that included the club playing host, along with Cricket Brazil, to the all-important South American Cricket Championships, held at the club's grounds on October 28th to October 31st. The four-day tournament featured six men's teams and three women's teams, with Chile topping Argentina to win the men's championship, and home team Brazil defeating Argentina for the women's title.
But, despite hosting such a major event, for Hanbury, the highlight of 2016 was seeing one of CCC's own make cricket history when, in July, club player Asanka Bandara, an expatriate from Sri Lanka living in Rio, bowled a double hat-trick (four wickets in four consecutive balls), then got a wicket on the final ball of the over, for five-wickets in the over.
"[S]eeing a CCC player bowl a double hat-trick. Four wickets in a row. And then, for good measure, Asanka got his 5th wicket on the final ball of the over," recalled Hanbury, "History."
As the CCC looks ahead to 2017, the club continues to explore new avenues to expand the sport, whether through increased community outreach, hosting events and even partnering with America's favorite pastime, baseball.
"We are talking to local politicians in Itaguaí about developing some social programs for local school kids to learn cricket," Hanbury revealed. "We are also talking to the Carioca Baseball Club about the possibility of building a cricket net alongside their ground on the Lagoa. And, we will host the Nationals for the fourth year running, either in February or November."
"Our long-term goal continues to be to find and develop more Brazilian players," expressed Hanbury, who also admitted, "Our main objective remains to play some half-decent cricket and have a laugh, not necessarily in that order."
For more information on the CCC and the November 19th intra-club event, visit the club's Facebook page.

Lactobacillus organisms are normal inhabitants of the digestive tract and essential for overall health.They each have a role in supporting the many physiological functions that take place which help to keep us alive. Lactic acid bacteria are gram-positive and non-spore forming, fermentative bacteria that grow anaerobically. However, not all probiotics are alike or work in the same way.
Uniquely, the growth and storage medium of Symprove has been developed to maintain both metabolic activity and shelf life, and the live, actively dividing bacteria are presented in optimal condition for quickly establishing in the human gastrointestinal tract.
Digestive Health
Your microbiome and the gut flora connection Gut flora are microorganisms that normally live in the digestive tract. The average human body consists of about ten trillion bacterial cells, and outnumber human cells by 10 to 1. The majority reside in the gut and have a total mass of around 1 kilo with the rest of the microbes' resident in the nose, mouth, vagina and skin. This mix of microbial cells and genes are known collectively as the microbiome, and have beneficial roles in fostering health, as well as offering vital help with basic physiological processes.
Bacteria make up most of the flora in the colon and research shows that the relationship between gut flora and humans, is not merely commensal, but rather a symbiotic relationship. Some of these bacteria possess genes that encode for beneficial compounds the body cannot make on its own, producing vitamins such as biotin and vitamin K for the host. Microbes also ferment unused energy substrates, regulate the development of the gut, and produce hormones to direct the host to store fats. They also train the immune system and play a crucial role in host defence, preventing the growth of pathogenic species. Researchers have made good progress in charting the characterisation of many of these prevalent species of microbes in the body, and have begun to identify the specific effects these residents may have.
In 2008, the Human Microbiome Project was established to characterise the nature of this ecosystem, with one of its goals being to explore the relationship between disease and changes in the human microbiome. This has been an enormously difficult task as many species of bacterial cells in the intestine, do not survive well outside the environment of the gut. To get around this problem, researchers have been studying the DNA and RNA (genetic coding) found within a microbe, rather than the entire cell itself, to determine the sequence of this gene. They found that each commensal bacteria, has its own signature (known as the 16S ribosomal RNA gene), that codes for a particular RNA molecule found in the protein-making machinery of cells. This discovery is helping to build a picture of what's living inside us, and to catalogue the entire human microbiome.

Hello. My name is VivaFariy (online). I have three sisters and I am Jewish. I live in CA. I am in Junior high. I am very smart, head of my class. Which leads me to why I write. I like to write mainly because I love to read. It started because I just loved stories. The stories I wrote were horrible (but my non-smart friends loved them), but they were written work. And I started to like to write. And realize poetry is not just rhyme, it flows. I now write stories and poetry, though it's not great. I am definitely amateur, if not less. Someone on deviantart invited me here. They obviously liked my work. That's why I bother being here. Because I want to get better, and I need your help. When I get around to writing, I want your input.
Should I even bother here?
- YES, never stop writing
- No, I won't help you
- Other *comment*
Thank You.

Hey Viva. The key to learning to write is reading. Never stop. You'll find the people on here more than willing to give you all the help you want. Never stop reading and never stop writing. Welcome to Thoughts, I'm looking forward to reading some of your work.
