A north Norfolk complex needs school hopes to expand and build a new sixth form centre following a £636,000 windfall.
If plans are approved by Norfolk County Council, the central government cash for Sidestrand Hall School, near Cromer, will be used to build the site for up to 40 Norfolk teenagers aged between 16 and 19 who have special educational needs.
The school also hopes to provide 12 places for Norfolk youngsters aged between seven and 16 with serious Asperger's syndrome in specialist buildings with £380,000 from the county council.
A six-week public consultation about both proposals has started and drop-in sessions will be held at the 158-pupil school this Friday and Tuesday May 13 between 3.30-5.30pm.
Headteacher Sarah Macro said she was excited about the projects and was hopeful building work would start in September, when new students would be admitted.
She said: "There is a huge demand for places in specialist schools."
Part of the aim of both projects is to reduce the amount of young people with special needs who are not in education, employment or training (NEET).
Some pupils with complex needs, and their families, in north Norfolk worry about travelling to a college out of the area.
Currently former Sidestrand Hall students study at City College Norwich, Easton College and Great Yarmouth College but some drop out because different buildings can bring out insecurities.
"We have got to keep aspirations going," she added.
Of the 52 NEETS in north Norfolk in September 2012, 32 had learning difficulties and disabilities.
The new sixth form would include five classrooms, a kitchen and common room and would teach vocational and A-level qualifications.
There are currently 10 complex needs schools in Norfolk and Sidestrand Hall is one of three that does not have a sixth form centre.
The other two are Fred Nicholson School in Dereham and The Parkside School in Norwich.
To view the consultation documents visit www.citizenspace.com/norfolk/consultation/sidestrand.

lets hope that some of the money goes towards some improvement to the road access to the school. I am amazed there has not been a very nasty accident. the speed that some large vehicles travel at a very narrow place seems only a matter of time before something happens if the traffic is increased to the school.

Any one who knows how to launch the website, now i set it in /etc/hosts, and it just can be shown.
Now how do I make it launch out, so that other visitors can see that website.
someone who can help me, I will be graceful. Thanks!
It sounds like you've done some work and your files are in /etc/hosts, you'll need to have the main page be in www.example.com/index, if all your site files are in www.example.com/etc/hosts then nobody can see them.
Thats my best advice based on what you've written here.
This means, I set IP like vi /etc/hosts, in my local linux terminal command.
Then i can see it in my firefox, but for someone who doest set it in /etc/hosts in their own pc, then they still can view it but that is not the exact site I want to see (because we meet the same domain name)
So now, how can I do that? - can do any alias to point to it, but how to do it? any idea?
Your domain registrar may provide DNS services, if not then you will either need a third-party DNS service or run a DNS server yourself. Then you configure your domain name to use your nameservers, which in turn send requests to your IP address. Those requests are handled by the Apache installation on your server.
I would recommend first seeing if your domain registrar can set this up for you.

Motto | Change the World — According to God's Word! |

Type | Public On-line |

Website | www.aufmoodle.org |
The American David Livingstone University of Florida (Russian: Американский Университет Флориды им. Дэвида Ливингстоуна) was founded in January 2009 as a multinational higher educational institution. Teaching languages are English, Russian, and Arabic. The first graduation of students is reported for summer 2012.
The aim of the AUF is to provide forum and means for high quality on-line distance learning based on biblical foundations. The target group are English and Russian speaking citizens of the USA and other countries, as well as applicants who only speak one of the two languages and who intend to study in a cross-cultural environment. Since 2013 Arabic speaking students from countries in the Middle East with Christian family background are also recruited. The university methods are built around the idea of a cultural sensitive adaptation in order to assist young emigrants from the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and the Middle East to integrate into American and West-European society. Students living in the CIS and the Middle East can participate in the same way and with equal rights.
"Legal Obligations of the Partners:
The area of the AUF-COUEHS Scientific Educational
Complex's activity is joint study programs development;
participation in research project and educational courses;
sending of experts/lecturers and instructors to the
partnering institution to provide study and further
education courses as well as specific exchange of
knowledge and experience; students exchange programs."
In 2007 several university instructors from the Ukraine, Germany, and the United States met at a round-table on campus of the Christian Open University of Economy and Humanitarian Sciences (HGEU) in Odessa, Ukraine to discuss the country's academic situation. During these conversations the idea was born to create a partnership between foreign universities and the private Christian University HGEU. To find helpful partners in higher education outside of the Ukraine who would understand the specific post-Soviet challenges in academia seemed to turn out to be difficult. After a time of discussing various options and strategies in 2009 an American private non-profit on-line university was founded in Florida — the AUF.[2] The international Board of Trustees chaired by the Ukrainian founder direct the institution. A group of international academic instructors meet regularly as Advisory Board. Dean and Academic Council develop the curriculum and secure educational standards. The President is appointed by the Board of Trustees and accountable to this board. The President's task includes to bundle and apply strategies and goals of the Board of Trustees, the Dean, the Academic Council, and the Advisory Board. He is expected to make these concepts public and to enforce them inside the university infra-structure. Additionally HGEU and AUF agreed 2009 on the "Foundation of a Scientific and Educational Complex" (Russian: Создание научно-образоватөльного комплекса) that made both educational institutions partners with equal rights.[3]
The AUF provides higher education especially for those emigrants from the former USSR who undergo adaptation hardships in traditional American universities and colleges. Additionally the university offers a variety of programs and degrees for English and Russian speaking citizens of other countries who look for a bilingual university education.
The AUF is named after an Evangelical pioneer and missionary of the 19th century: David Livingstone. The university defines itself as a Christian educational institution and received as such a Letter of exemption concerning the teaching license within the State of Florida.[4][5] The Ukrainian Evangelical Alliance[6] together with invited Evangelical authorities in the USA functions as overseeing commission for all questions related to the university as a religious institution.
All courses are built on the "Moodle" (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) platform and use version 1.9.16.[7] The Course Management System (CMS) is open source. As of February 2012 Moodle had globally a user base of 67,182 registered and verified sites, serving 57,096,179 million users in 219 countries.[8]
Most of the educational disciplines are taught in English and Russian, although there are still Russian courses that need to be completed in their English translation. Courses that were originally written in the instructor's native language usually have a higher quality than their translated counterparts. That is specifically true for Russian original coursework that later was translated into English. The students have the freedom of studying in their language of choice. The AUF staff believes that neither the mainly English speaking student, nor the student with Russian background should be disadvantaged. According to the philosophy of the university both teaching languages should have equal rights from the very first moment until the defense of a degree.[9]
The AUF predominantly focuses on young active Christians, but without discriminating students with other religious convictions.[citation needed] The Evangelical credo[when defined as?] is the foundation for what is taught in all faculties.
The AUF graduates have to study Christian disciplines (Fundamentals of Christianity, History of Christianity, Christian Ethics, Christian World View, and Bible Study). General educational disciplines (Philosophy, Sociology and others) are studied in light of a Christian world outlook.
Professors from the USA and Canada own academic credentials usually expected on their campuses. Instructors who post-graduated in the CIS and elsewhere have the degrees and licenses of their countries. Instructors with Slavic background have been trained in methodology of administration under the typically complex conditions of business management in post-Communist countries.
The university offers also M.A. and PhD programs.

Bruce Willis just listed his Beverly Hills estate for a whopping $22 million! The 11 bedroom, 11 bath home sits on almost a full acre of property. In addition to standard features, it comes with maid's quarters, a media/music room, library and tennis court. It was built in 1928 but has been updated with modern amenities, including a gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a steam shower in one of the (many) bathrooms. The furnishings are a mix of old and new, from modern white sofas to classic leather chairs and an antique-looking bed frame. Outside there's a large pool, with a covered patio, cabana and built-in barbecue.
Willis purchased the home in June 2004 for $6.3 million, under his "Ix Nay" investment trust, which he has also used to buy several properties in New York. The former owner was Alan Ladd Jr., a film industry executive and producer who is famous for giving George Lucas the green light to make Star Wars. Other notable past and present residents include screenwriter Michael Leeson, NASCAR owner Ollen Bruton Smith, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, and Michael Jackson.
"This area of Beverly Hills is known for having houses of celebrities, entertainment executives and CEOs of major companies. It's not uncommon to see homes priced above $20 million," said Corina Galen, a Redfin real estate agent in Los Angeles.
What do you think of Bruce's home? Looks like all those Die Hard movies paid off!

Thirst and Curving : Twitter's Ultimate Downfall
It seems that the entire black online community (and the poor unfortunate white and Spanish souls that have fallen into our traps), has adopted a concept of "thirsting and curving." A multi-dimensional problem that plagues timelines, mentions, and direct messages all at the same damn time. The topic of many-a-screenshot, the reason for ridicule and mockery (Has anyone heard from Doo Doo James?). The everlasting debate of what exactly IS thirst and how to handle it. Teams of thirsters, hoards of those seeking thirst and those who are the thirsted.
Understanding and defining thirst is perhaps the most difficult task at hand. How does one truly decipher the meaning of THIRST?
• Thirst is the act in which a thirster continuously gives you unwarranted sexual and/or overly friendly attention.
• Curving is the act of thirsted rejecting former said 'thirst' from the thirster.
Online users most commonly known for being exceedingly 'thirsty' are usually black males between the ages if 17-26, a part of the black twitter community, and of semi to decent standing in the looks department.
(Women can be thirsty but let us be honest… Women are just better at being subtle with their thirst tactics.)
But are they truly thirsty? Perhaps.
Let's take a deeper look into the audience that has made the term and act of thirst so common.
Black women have taken it upon themselves to be the ambassadors of thirst patrolling. Even a onetime compliment on ones appearance is now considered thirst. Interest in a woman and what she has to offer, is thirst. Calling a clearly aesthetically pleasing woman beautiful is grounds for a thirst accusation. Commenting on a woman's breasts that happen to be spilling out of their display pictures into your hands, is my friends, thirst. If we were to look at women who receive this 'thirst' on a day to day basis, we could come to the conclusion that these women have done something to receive this attention.
If a man tweets you "Damn shawty, I sho would fuck" moments after you change your display picture, maybe it's time to take a quick peek at what you posted and consider the following before responding. Are you naked? Do you look sexually provocative? Can we see your face?
Does your biography say: "Outchea sucking a dick? #TeamFreak #TeamBigTitties #TeamIEatPussy #ButOnlyOnTwitterOnlyOnTwitter."
You can then make the following choices:
A.) Thank the thirster politely.
B.) Tell that nigga to die 1,000 Somalian pirate deaths
C.) Follow back and DM right away.
D.) Block
At which point you can take it a step further, when you decide whether you will publicly curve him for all too see and laugh. You create an entirely public scene, of roasts and tweets that publicly humiliate. OR.
Accept the thirst in which you will continue on to a lovely Twttership in which you retweet, tweet each other and direct message confessions of your true love. To be honest, I think the entire idea of thirst is just a way for insecure women and men to feel wanted. When you reject someone you have the upper hand. You have the power. Public curving does wonders to ones ego. When you choose to embrace the thirst, you feel wanted. Someone finds you somewhat desirable. Even if it's for five third-shift twitter days.
Either way, if you thirst, you feed those egos and at some point you will be curved and at some point it will be embraced. There are so many routes this life can take… that has become a part of our e-worlds. Is it slightly stupid and really fucking annoying? Yes. Is it going away? No.
Just remember in this day and age, when you see that beautiful… no face, big titty, thick hipped, tiny waist long leg, Indi Remi weave wearing bitch… and you do get to display the full extent of your thirst, and it's accepted don't start talking reckless shit when it all comes to an end… they can and they will #BigJamaal you.
Happy thirsting!

Predator: Automatically lock and unlock your computer using a thumb drive [Windows]
Posted By Locutus On September 11, 2012 @ 12:02 AM In Windows | 3 Comments
[1]Tappity-tappity-tappity tap. Wait a few seconds. Is that the process you go through every day to log into your computer? Booooring! Instead, log into your computer with a loud, annoying countdown timer and your favorite thumb drive. Predator can do that, and it can do it entirely free: lock and unlock your computer whenever you unplug and plug in your key.
[2]To use Predator, you'll need to set up a key. Go to the Preferences page and type in a Password. Then, plug in and select a thumb drive in the lower left corner. Click the Create Key button to turn your thumb drive into a key.
Now, restart Predator. This is only needed after the initial arming as it is doing preliminary setup. Just unplug your thumb drive, and the next time Predator monitors for your drive, it'll lock the computer. Try to unlock it, and it'll present you with a 20-second countdown timer and a loud alarm. (Want to change the drive scanning frequency? Do that from within the preferences.)
The nice thing about Predator is it enables longer passwords, as you no longer have to know them. This makes your computer more secure, as there's less risk of people brute forcing their way in. Just note that you'll still need the initial Windows password to log in whenever you start up your computer, and that you must now keep a very tight grip on your thumb drive.
Predator is a nice system. The alarm screen doesn't play too well with Windows 8, but other than that, this app is ready to be used, and is definitely a must for anyone wanting to experiment with key-based computer security.

What are the survival rates for melanoma skin cancer by stage?
Survival rates are often used by doctors as a standard way of discussing a person's prognosis (outlook). Some people may want to know the survival statistics for people in similar situations, while others may not find the numbers helpful, or may even not want to know them. If you don't want to know them, stop reading here and skip to the next section.
The 5-year and 10-year survival rates refer to the percentage of patients who live at least this long after their cancer is diagnosed. Of course, many people live much longer than 5 or 10 years (and many are cured).
In order to get 5- and 10-year survival rates, doctors have to look at people who were treated at least 5 or 10 years ago. Improvements in treatment since then may result in a more favorable outlook for people now being diagnosed with melanoma.
Survival rates are often based on previous outcomes of large numbers of people who had the disease, but they cannot predict what will happen in any particular person's case. Knowing the type and the stage of a person's cancer is important in estimating their outlook. But many other factors may also affect a person's outlook, such as the genetic changes in the cancer cells and how well the cancer responds to treatment. Even when taking these other factors into account, survival rates are at best rough estimates. Your doctor can tell you if the numbers below may apply, as he or she is familiar with your particular situation.
The following survival rates are based on nearly 60,000 patients who were part of the 2008 AJCC Melanoma Staging Database. These are observed survival rates. They include some people diagnosed with melanoma who may have later died from other causes, such as heart disease. Therefore, the percentage of people surviving the melanoma itself may be higher.
Stage IA: The 5-year survival rate is around 97%. The 10-year survival is around 95%.
Stage IB: The 5-year survival rate is around 92%. The 10-year survival is around 86%.
Stage IIA: The 5-year survival rate is around 81%. The 10-year survival is around 67%.
Stage IIB: The 5-year survival rate is around 70%. The 10-year survival is around 57%.
Stage IIC: The 5-year survival rate is around 53%. The 10-year survival is around 40%.
Stage IIIA: The 5-year survival rate is around 78%. The 10-year survival is around 68%.*
Stage IIIB: The 5-year survival rate is around 59%. The 10-year survival is around 43%.
Stage IIIC: The 5-year survival rate is around 40%. The 10-year survival is around 24%.
Stage IV: The 5-year survival rate is about 15% to 20%. The 10-year survival is about 10% to 15%. The outlook is better if the spread is only to distant parts of the skin or distant lymph nodes rather than to other organs, and if the blood level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is normal.
*The survival rate is higher for stage IIIA cancers than for some stage II cancers. This is likely because the main (primary) tumor is often less advanced for IIIA cancers, although this is not clear.
Other factors affecting survival
Other factors aside from stage may also affect survival. For example, stage for stage, older people generally have shorter survival times. The biggest drop begins at age 70. Melanoma is uncommon among African Americans, but when it does occur, survival times tend to be shorter than when it occurs in whites. Some studies have shown that melanoma tends to be more serious if it occurs on the sole of the foot or palm of the hand, or if it is in a nail bed. People with melanoma who have weakened immune systems, such as people who have had organ transplants or who are infected with HIV, also are at greater risk of dying of their melanoma.

People send me email about online survey companies. No, I don't think you can get rich. Or replace your $100,000 per year job doing them.
But yes I like one now and again to see how marketers think and check out new items that are in development. I may do one per month.
Right now, the only one I actually work with as far as responding to surveys is Survey Savvy.
I'm talking about a company I actually do surveys for. It's mostly a time issue. I like to do them from time to time and I can tell Survey Savvy when to send me a check.
That doesn't mean there aren't other good survey companies, here's a list of free to join survey companies you can try before purchasing a membership to a survey network.
Survey Savvy though is the only one I've found that not only pays me for my surveys but also pays when I refer someone to them and THEY take a survey.
I'm not talking about one time referral fees, but referral fees every time they take a survey!
If you're going to do surveys, you might as well get paid for passing the word along don't you think?

Nina Dobrev and the rest of Mystic Falls' finest came together July 28 for a smolder-y shoot in Los Angeles.
We're still two months and 12 days away from the fifth season premiere of The Vampire Diaries – not that I'm counting down, or anything — but The CW is helping to ease our anxiety by Instagramming a batch of behind-the-scenes pics from the cast's new photo shoot. Nina Dobrev was happily surrounded by all of the men in her (and Elena's) life, including one very familiar face: Michael Trevino!
Yes, now that Klaus (Joseph Morgan) has vacated Mystic Falls, it looks like Tyler really is going to be reunited with Caroline (Candice Accola), after all. Gee, I wonder what he'll think of the "attractive college professor" that Elena and Caroline will be interacting with.
Ian Tweets From The Photo Shoot
Ian couldn't contain his excitement about the photo shoot, Instagramming a separate selfie with Nina and Paul Wesley.
"The trio-Stefan,Elena,Damon…" Ian captioned the shot.
Nina happily retweeted Ian's photo, reaffirming that all is well between the former flames. As was previously reported, Ian and Nina's recent split will have no affect on The Vampire Diaries.
Bonnie & Jeremy's 'Intimate Relationship' In Season 5
Bonnie (Kat Graham) and Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) were also heavily featured in the new shoot, and they both recently spoke to HollywoodLife.com about what we can expect from 'Beremy' in season five.
"Have you seen Ghost with Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore?" Steven asked HollywoodLife.com. "Its going to be exactly like that!"
Since I was pretty sure Steven was joking — at least, I hope he was — I went to Kat for something a little more concrete.
"Because of the situation with [Bonnie] being on the other side, where the only person she can communicate with is Jeremy, it forces an even more intimate relationship with him," Kat told me. "There's even more of a unity and support."
Now that's more like it!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of these new photos? And what are you excited to see in season five? Drop a comment with your thoughts and theories!

I will be so disappointed if Ian and Nina reunite because they are in their "Atlanta Bubble". Ian shouldn't consider holding on or chasing Nina at all. Not after her immediate pathetic public display over summer. "Look at me, I'm so glad to be rid of him, never been happier in my life, let me over prove it to you all". Ian doesn't need this game playing 25 year old little child. He's too much of a fine catch and great guy for her attention seeking nonsense.

@leah I couldn't agree more. Ian is too much man for her in every way. The immaturity Nina displayed over the summer after the breakup with the million bikini pics on Twitter while straddling various guys was over the top. While Ian worked and vacationed quietly in Europe, he didn't feel the need to flaunt or prove anything via Twitter. I hope he doesn't go back to a relationship with her just because it's convenient and they are stuck in Atlanta for 2 more seasons. He deserves so much more. Honestly, I'm looking forward to when he moves on from Vampire Diaries. He's an incredible actor with amazing star quality and I'm ready to see him in other roles that make more use of his talents.

Sorry, I'm not liking Nina's new image…..it's trampy. I prefer Candice in this photo, she's much more natural and happy to be herself. Nina's trying too hard. It's obvious she hasn't had the best influences lately. Anyone who can't see that she has changed is blind. She looked so distant and out of touch with the WHOLE VD cast at comin con.

The SOPA and PIPA bills have been delayed indefinitely following the massive internet protest on January 18th, which proved effective. After the black-out of thousands of websites on Wednesday, the bill lost much Congressional support. A petition started by Google accumulated over 7 million signatures.
The Senate was scheduled to vote on the Protect IP Act (PIPA) next week, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid revealed that "in light of recent events" voting would be postponed indefinitely.
In a prepared statement concerning the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith said, "I have heard from the critics and I take seriously their concerns. It is clear that we need to revisit the approach on how best to address the problem of foreign thieves."

The ingredients and claims listed on a petfood label can be key factors in a consumer's decision to buy a particular product.
Petfood product names and ingredients can be key factors in a consumer's decision to buy a particular product. For example, some pet owners may try to avoid gluten or certain protein sources in a petfood to help prevent allergic reactions in their pets; those who remember the melamine-related recalls of 2007 may still scan ingredient labels for the presence of wheat or wheat gluten.
For manufacturers who export petfood, accurate identification of animal protein sources is essential, as many countries will not accept foods containing ruminant material (beef/sheep) in the aftermath of the bovine spongiform encephalitis (BSE) outbreak. For these reasons, the Food and Drug Administration's Federal Food Drug and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA) requires that petfoods, like foods for humans, be truthfully labeled.
While the recent amendment to the FFDCA, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), is concerned primarily with health issues that may result from adulteration of foods, the requirements for truthful labeling still apply. And though many elements of the FSMA are still pending, under this law importers and producers will bear more responsibility for verifying the safety and authenticity of the proteins and grain products that they import or purchase.
The need for increased attention to identifying animal proteins and grains was highlighted in a recent survey of 21 commercial dog foods performed by our laboratory in Florida. Ten of the foods were purchased in local grocery stores and 11 were purchased in local specialty pet stores. Five of the foods were chosen specifically because they claimed to be gluten-free, while the remainder was an equal mix of large and small brands.
All the products were tested for the presence of beef, pork, poultry, turkey, sheep, horse and deer content using the US Department of Agriculture protocol, which is a qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method that can detect both muscle and organ tissue from the designated species. The samples were also tested for gluten using a quantitative ELISA. The test results were then compared to the ingredient label on the package.
We found eight foods that tested positive for an animal protein not listed on the ingredient label: two instances of undeclared beef/sheep, five of pork and one of deer. Conversely, in two instances, foods claiming to contain venison tested negative for deer content but positive for beef, sheep or pork. Two foods used a general term, meat and bone meal, rather than listing a specific protein source. Both of these foods tested positive only for pork content, but these were not considered instances of mislabeling.
A recent survey of 21 commercial dog foods showed 12 instances of mislabeling in 10 of the products tested (two foods had more than one labeling issue).
Twelve of the 21 foods tested listed no gluten source (wheat, rye, barley or related grains) in their ingredient list, and five were specifically labeled as gluten-free or grain-free. Five of the 12 foods with no listed gluten source, including two of those foods promoted as gluten- or grain-free, tested positive for gluten at greater than 80 ppm. This level is far above FDA's proposed limit of 20 ppm for gluten-free labeling in human foods.
Overall, there were 12 instances of mislabeling in 10 of the dog foods tested; two foods had more than one labeling issue (Table 1). As in the human food industry, this type of mislabeling is typically not intentional on the part of the manufacturer. Rather, it is most often the result of mistakes during formulation or the receipt of mislabeled product from a supplier.
What can manufacturers do to ensure that this type of mislabeling does not occur with their products? By applying many of the same techniques used in hazard analysis and critical control point (HACCP) plans to prevent adulteration and contamination, mislabeling and misbranding can be prevented as well. Examples of procedures that should be implemented include:
By including these steps in their HACCP protocols, manufacturers can more confidently guarantee both the safety and authenticity of their products.

For information on what consumers are looking for on a petfood label, check out www.petfoodindustry.com/7595.html.
What is this quiet, unassuming ingredient, and should it be there?
The question is whether they provide additional benefit to the dog or cat
It's an "Intel inside" type of molecule -- but also a problem child
Association committed to protecting South African pet owners from 'rogue petfood manufacturers'
During its meeting in "sunny" California, AAFCO also considered calorie statements, a wheat gluten definition and other issues
1,500 products, 50 brands rated in survey
The mid-year meeting addressed several regulatory matters affecting petfoods
Committees discussed key proposals such as a possible shift in the oversight of animal feeds
Public meetings invited comments and provided updates
You mean they should know what they're putting in the packages? What a concept. You make it sound as though the manufacturers are victims. They spend a ton of money in Washington to be able to do as they damn well please. Please!
What is your factual basis for the statement that the mislabeling is "unintentional"? I have found that pet food manufacturers seek the lowest priced sources of ingredients, and if that means substituting non-listed ingredients, so be it.

So, you are sitting in a coffee shop and looking around you —wondering whom the blonde-haired person is sitting by the window or even the bearded hipster serving the latte. Well, "Highlight" is a free social network app for iOS devices that can now let you creep the world within your vicinity.
Facebook helps users to organize online relationships while exploring professional networks, but it cannot help them interact with those in the "real" world. Whether social networkers are in a –well– coffee shop, or even a restaurant, clothing store, entertainment event or conference, strangers constantly surround them. Anyone is connectable through shared interests or mutual friends, but it is difficult to know who is nearby.
To change this circumstance, install Highlight onto an iPhone and connect to Facebook. The app will alert users to other Highlight users up to a block and half away. From there, profiles with information pulled from Facebook are viewable, and Highlight users can even send text messages to such profiles. The app essentially helps folks meet new people, while refreshing memory about past relationships and alerting users to friends who are nearby.
More information is available below.

I thought it was cool...
Wait a second...
This seems to be the most serious video he's ever made, I don't know if he's just shitting us or not, I guess we'll know in a few days. Well I'll be the first to say I'd feel a mild sense of loss if he was quitting Youtube...
I keep wanting to get around to writing on Facebook a nice monologue about Mormonism, and then from there going into my own religious views, but I keep thinking about my friends, and they're all fucking Christians, like, if they'd hold me not being a Christian against me, then they'd be fucking stupid, but come on, most of them have been indoctrinated since birth to be Christians, most people don't shake that off...
And then I lose energy and motivation to do it. I think I will at some point though...
Oh God, several uncomfortable situations today. First, the friend I hang out with after school every day is like super grounded, so I can't hang out with him after school.
So what did I do, you might ask? I went to Starbucks. And I saw they had their new Trenta size.
And I was like excellent, more coffee for me.
So I ordered a Trenta coffee, it was fucking huge, like almost a quart of pure coffee.
I mean, as much as I love coffee, it is, especially without cream, which is usually how I take it, a pretty strong drink. Like espresso, especially, I love it, but I can't drink much more than a double shot.
So by the end I was like about to throw up, because it was so much coffee.
But that wasn't the worst part, after Starbucks I went to the library and sat and read The Economist for a while, then when I got up I realized that the caffeine was fucking me, and I was like super jittery and shaky and had way too much unhealthy energy..
Which sucked.
And then at the library, first I played chess with a pretty cute friend that I talk to sometimes, and that wasn't so bad, I won, it was fun.
But then this like obscenely fucking gorgeous beautiful guy offered to play, and I did, and it was torture.
I was so distracted by his beauty and the caffeine, it was really tough. I embarrassed myself in front of him by trying to use my king as my queen cause I didn't look, and trying to move my king into check several times, as well as several tactical errors.
But, since I'm a fucking genius, he made and error, and I had a brilliant string of moves, and molested his pieces and won.
It was awesome, I was really afraid I was going to lose and then be at a slight social disadvantage to a really hot guy.
But I won, which made me happy, because that gave me the advantage and perhaps a modicum of respect, and of course I'll be nice with it.
I'm not sure whether I'd like to be like asexual or not or something, because as it is, I get really really distracted by hot guys and into some awkward situations I won't mention, but at least I get to appreciate their beauty and jack off with that, rather than having neither the benefits nor the disadvantages...
No, I think it's too much fun being gay...
Sometimes I hear about in class about like racism against Asians, and I'm like how could you? They're so HOT.
Cause recently I've been seeming to like Asians more, although I've had crushes among basically every race.
So, I guess a good day, because of that great chess game :P
I'm fucking pathetic.
Night guys
until they said "schlag mich baby noch einmal."
And on the second one, I have noticed that his videos have been getting more serious and pessimistic lately.
In response to the Christian friends thing, there's this chick who always sits at my lunch table a bit, and goes off to her regular one. She tells us awful things about how conservative and homophobic most of the girls at her table are. She likes my table a lot more because we give a lot less fucks about everything.
I always get my coffee at Wawa because it's cheap and it's incredibly good when you know how to mix it right. But I don't think they have Wawa where you live. And yeah, I can't drink a lot of it either. I get tiny 12oz. cup and I usually have trouble drinking that (though I drank the new Ethiopian blend pretty quickly).
And I don't really get distracted by hot guys. I just see them and think "okay, he's pretty hot, big fucking deal, because there are soooo few attractive guys I see every day." I don't get distracted by looks at all usually, even though I ended up walking next to this extremely attractive guy today and I got really nervous because I'd never seen him before and his face was so preeeety.
And I used to have a fetish for Asians. My libido is a racial bigot now, though.
I just took your journal and related every single section to me because that's how narcissistic I am.
One thing about you, though:
I assume you no longer have feelings for Jun anymore, based on your flirting?
That's pretty much a perfect description, hahaha. He's just... Too attractive to handle. I wish I'd been there. Tell me the next time you go to the library :D

My fiance Chris and his sister Lina flabbergast me. Chris has a mechanical pencil that he used from 15 to 24 years old (all of my mechanical pencils get lost or break within a year) and Lina has shoes that she still uses from middle school (now she is in college). How do they do it? This isn't an anomaly for them, pretty much everything they buy they use up as much as possible and everything they own is in pristine condition. I admire it so much.
Since I was little I've been trained to buy buy buy. When something is on sale, buy 12 (even if you don't like the product that much). If I see a gorgeous nail polish I should buy it even though I have two polishes along the same shade range already. Clearly, I need more then five similar eyeshadow sets even though I barely wear eyeshadow. I've never known anything else.
That is just stupid behavior. I have been so wasteful my whole life! Starting in 2011 I have been making strides to change my spending habits and how I use my products.
I'm going to do my best to live more minimally. I'll be finishing up all the current products I have before I purchase more items in that same category. I'll find alternative uses for items I have stored up.
Then, I'll have to learn how to deal with only one or two products in each category. I can't have all of this junk! Hopefully I can find a lot of multi-use products as well to minimize the space I need.
Note: One thing that makes this campaign a little more difficult for me is that as a blogger I get the opportunity to try new products. If I can try something that may be of interest for review, I do take these opportunities. I just need to make sure I completely finish the product and dispose of it responsibly.
Note: Check out DIY Friday for more projects related to living minimally. I've been able to substitute a lot of the products I've purchased with things I can make for less money.

ELISA STROZYK. "Wooden Textiles" convey a new tactile experience.
We are used to experience wood as a hard material; we know the feeling of walking across wooden floors, to touch a wooden tabletop or to feel the bark of a tree.

This project presents results of my recent researches in domain of generative constructions, that are 'bred' with use of artificial intelligence.
Structures shown here have been created by programs acting as 'virtual playground', in which all real world properties have been recreated (gravity and other external world circumstances influencing general shape of the construction). It mainly relates to 'phototropic' growth, which develops object in direction of light source and opposite to this of gravitational force. Additionally few other rules have been implemented, for example constructions automatically entwine already existing elements of virtual world (boxes), and constantly optimize themselves ; in cases where material and connections are placed disproportionally, nodes are moved to where more material is needed to transfer forces.
Nodes keep nearly equal distances between, which makes construction consist of quite proportional tetrahedrons. HAUGEN/ZOHAR. How can digital technology and waste be combined to create spaces of quality?

Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galliano argues, ´Show me how you play and I will show who you are`. The games we play and don't play, how we play them and with whom, have become a central aspect of the modern world's popular cultures and their understanding of themselves. The domain of play, as even the most every day engagement with children brings out experimentation and creativity. It is a form of social interaction that insists upon collective rule making and changing, testing and mutual dependence, imagination, laughter and surprise.

Snohetta. Snøhetta shortlisted for the design of 10 new acres of parkland in San Francisco's Presidio The Presidio Trust, working with the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy and the National Park Service, has invited five design firms to develop conceptual design and programming for 10 acres of new parkland that will be created in the Presidio atop a dramatic bluff with panoramic Golden Gate views.
The design opportunity came about as the result of the demolition of the 75-year-old freeway leading to the Golden Gate Bridge, which is being replaced by the Presidio Parkway, a new at-grade tunnel-covered roadway that will connect the two most expansive public spaces in the Presidio: the historic Main Post and the bay front at Crissy Field. The project also includes three acres of newly designed parklands adjacent to the Crissy Field Center, including facilities and grounds for youth programs offered by the Trust, Conservancy, and National Park Service.

Cape May Court House – Cape May County Sheriff Gary Schaffer announced that the Sheriff's Office participated in a Warrant Operation to serve outstanding non-support warrants issued by the Probation Office. The operation took place from December 9th through December 11, 2013. The goal of the three-day intensive Non-Support Sweep is to apprehend non-custodial parents who have failed to pay their court-ordered child support. Additional targets included parents who have failed to appear at court hearings to establish a child support order or an order for medical support. The Sweep is hosted in cooperation with the New Jersey Office of Child Support Services [OCSS]. The Sheriffs' Association of New Jersey [SANJ] is the lead agency as per the Sheriff IV-D Cooperative Agreement between OCSS and the Sheriffs' Association, as authorized under Federal Regulation 45 CFR 302.34. The OCSS has commended both the Sheriffs' Association of New Jersey and the Judiciary for collaboratively supporting the final procedures and data report for the Sheriffs' Child Support Warrant Sweep. Sheriff Gary Schaffer reports that 25 subjects were arrested for child support warrants with a total of 33 non-support warrants served and an additional 6 persons arrested on other outstanding warrants. Officers attempted to locate and serve 63 active warrants. The arrested individuals were brought before the court who ordered money collected and a court ordered payment schedule. Sheriff Schaffer said, "Our job in a sweep like this is to attempt to develop background information on possible locations and locate, arrest and bring offenders before the judge. The judge along with probation attempt to satisfy the outstanding financial obligation and other court imposed requirements. I want to commend the Warrants Unit and ID unit for their hard work in developing intelligence, locating and arresting these individuals and our Correctional Officers who processed the 15 individuals who went to jail." Sheriff Schaffer added, "I continue to ask the public for their assistance in apprehending all our fugitives by going to our website www.cmcsheriff.net, look on our Facecrook page where active warrants are located, then call us with information or use our anonymous tip line and APP to pass on information anonymously. The criminal has no greater enemy than the citizen and police working together."
