A glorious thing happened while I was in my first 4 months of pregnancy, while I was tired, nauseous, and producing tons of saliva (thank goodness THAT's over....as of August 7.) We discovered that 9-year-old Madeleine could clean up the kitchen by herself!!!!
And, there is just NOTHING that makes me happier than chore-progress! So, of course, I MUST blog about it.
At her request, I made this little checklist for her check-marking-pleasure; she likes to see what she's accomplished and how much is left. And, it helps her learn things like "rinse the pots and pans BEFORE you make up the hot, soapy water." We keep this on the front of the fridge:
She had lots of help in August with Mathilde here, but she is back doing it mostly by herself with me occasionally popping in. I never thought I'd be able to "occasionally pop in" on my kitchen getting cleaned up! LOL! Dreams DO indeed come true!
This also caused us to switch evening chores around by ZONE, which also has the added benefit of kids not bugging each other while working. Plus, Madeleine is able to hum and sing all she wants without annoying her sisters. LOL!

Gresham's School becomes an all Steinway school after receiving a full set of Steinway pianos. Students gather to play all 20 pianos. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
Tracey Gray, Reporter
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
Pupils at a north Norfolk school are set to tickle the ivories of a set of prestigious pianos.
Gresham's School has acquired 21 Steinway pianos on a lease agreement with prominent piano company Steinway, eight of which are grand pianos.
It means Gresham's will be the only school in the east of England with full Steinway School Status and the prep-school will be the only one in the United Kingdom.
To mark the arrival of the pianos they were played by pupils from all three schools on the site, ranging in age from five to 18, and blessed by the school chaplain, Father Bryan Roberts.
Lisa Lowe, marketing co-ordinator at Gresham's, said: "This is a really great opportunity for the school musicians to have the chance to practice on some of the best pianos in the world. It also means they will have access to play in Steinway halls all over the world."
Steinway Halls are buildings housing concert halls, showrooms and sales departments for Steinway & Sons pianos.
Ms Lowe said the schools would also be using the pianos in events celebrating the centenary of Old Greshamian Benjamin Britten next year.
The lease agreement for the pianos has been sponsored by The Gresham Foundation.
The school has sold off the old pianos it had.
1 comment
"The school has sold off the old pianos it had." Presumably this line wasn't written by a Gresham's educated person?

Watch Missy Franklin Reunite With Family After Gold Medal Win [VIDEO]
Behind every great Team USA athlete is a supportive group of family members and friends. For many Olympic stars, their parents have sacrificed vacations, jobs, and free time to always be there for their son or daughter.
Swimmer Matt Grevers Talks Marriage & Setting New Olympic Record [AUDIO]
Whether it's emotional support in times of difficulty or rides to practice, Olympic parents deserve lots of credit for their child's success. Take a look at two parents who have made quite the impression during the Summer Games.
Swimmer Missy Franklin's Parents
Dick and D.A. Franklin were overjoyed when they were able to hug their daughter, Missy, after her Gold Medal win. "We haven't seen her for three weeks," D.A. said. "I haven't seen her since she left for camp." For many athletes, life is too hectic to meet in person with their families. Many only communicate through text messages. For that reason, the Franklin reunion was filled with tears of joy.
Gymnast Aly Raisman's Parents
Days after video surfaced of Lynn and Rick Raisman stressed to the max during their daughter's gymnastic's routine, the proud parents spoke with Natalie Morales about the viral clip. "I'm embarrassed watching it now," Rick said. "You don't even realize it, you are so locked in."

Second Darkness [Pathfinder] IC
Welcome to Riddleport!
All of you have journeyed here for one reason or another.
The whole city is abuzz with talk of The Blot. A blemish on the sky that appeared one day. Many scholars were here already to study artifacts like the Cyphergate that sits in the harbor. Word of The Blot brought many more.
The other big news is that of The Gold Goblin and the "Cheat the Devil and Take his Gold" Tournament. After spending some time closed this event is marking the grand reopening of the gambling hall.
It is the 22 day of Lamashan. It's early afternoon and the busy city goes about its day around you.Last edited by Aeson; Monday, 26th October, 2009 at 07:14 AM.

The leading eye health and sight loss sector conference
The sixth annual Vision UK conference took place on Thursday 12 June at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre, London. By all accounts, the event was a huge success, with more than 500 turning out to hear from a number of key leaders from the eye health and sight loss sector.
Morning session
The days programme began with VISION 2020 UK Chair Nick Astbury welcoming delegates to Vision UK 2014. This was followed by an address from Tiri Hughes, Blind Children UK service user, and Richard Leaman CB OBE, Chief Executive of Blind Children UK and Guide Dogs, with a focus on opening up the world.
Anita Lightstone, Chief Operations Officer for VISION 2020 UK and UK Vision StrategyProgramme Director, then took to the stage. Anita spoke about the theme of the conference for 2014, which was Turning the UK Vision Strategy into Action.
Following Anitas address was the exciting launch of NHS Englands Improving Eyecare A Call to Action, marking a groundbreaking engagement of the government with the eye health agenda. Unveiled by NHS England Deputy Medical Director Mike Bewick, the Call to Action will focus on a preventative approach, early detection and community management.
NHS England invite the public, patients and professionals to have their say, with the survey remaining open until 12th September 2014.
For more information on the Call to Action, please click here.
The morning session concluded with a very well-received keynote speech from the Rt Hon Anne McGuire MP, co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Disability Group (APPDG).
Morning parallel streams
After a break for networking, poster viewing and refreshments, delegates attended one of four morning parallel streams.
Stream one, entitled Making the UK Vision Strategy happen, was chaired by Lesley-Anne Baxter, Chair of the British and Irish Orthoptic Society and VISION 2020 UK Trustee. The session was very much tied to the theme of the day, and featured four leading experts, who explained how collaboration has helped them put the UK Vision Strategy 2013-2018 into action.
Stream two, chaired by Mhairi Thurston, lecturer at Abertay University, was The emotional impact of vision impairment. Three key speakers discussed the latest research and projects that focus on the emotional consequences of sight loss.
The third stream was Advances in travel and transport, chaired by Chris Lewis of the VISION 2020 UK Technology for Life Group. Featuring five experts, the stream analysed both the successes and upcoming challenges with regards to technological developments in the areas of travel and transport.
The fourth and final stream was a new addition to the Vision UK programme for 2014, and featured nine 10-minute presentations. Each presenter demonstrated how their work has contributed to the successful implementation of UK Vision Strategy outcomes. Chaired by Richard Wormald, FRCOphth Consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital, the session was extremely well-received and is likely to remain a fixture on the programme into 2015 and beyond.
For further information on the oral presentations, please click here.
Afternoon Masterclasses
Following a break for lunch, networking and poster viewing, delegates had a choice to attend one of six afternoon masterclasses on offer. Each masterclass focused on a particular outcome of the UK Vision Strategy, as below:
Masterclass A: Prevention of sight loss, chaired by Paul Desai, Consultant in Ophthalmology and Public Health, Moorfields Eye Hospital, and Chair, VISION 2020 UK Ophthalmic Public Health Committee.
Masterclass B: Reaching the hard to reach groups in eyecare, chaired by Dr David Geddes, Head of Primary Care Commissioning, NHS England.
Masterclass C: New approaches to delivering eyecare, chaired by Bryony Pawinska, Chief Executive, The College of Optometrists and VISION 2020 UK Trustee.

Masterclass F: Implementing the children and young peoples pathway, chaired by Jenny Cook, Head of Strategy and Research, Guide Dogs, and Chair, VISION 2020 UK Children and Young People (CYP) with a Vision Impairment Group.
Poster Competition:
This year saw another excellent response to the poster competition. Entrants from all over the UK showcased a variety of innovative initiatives that demonstrated effective implementation of the UK Vision Strategy, at both a local and national level.
Congratulations to the poster competition winners for each outcome.
Outcome 1: A collaborative project to make sight tests more accessible for people with learning disabilities - designed by the Local Optical Committee Support Unit (LOCSU) with advice and support from SeeAbility and Mencap.

New evidence helps health workers in the fight against Ebola
One year after the first Ebola cases started to surface in Guinea, the latest findings from a Cochrane review show new ways of hydrating patients in critical care environments across the world.
NEW evidence shows Electronic Cigarettes facilitate smoking cessation
Do electronic cigarettes help smokers to quit? Yes, but….
New Cochrane review finds emerging evidence that smokers who use electronic cigarettes can stop or reduce their smoking.
Only half of patients take their medications as prescribed: are there interventions that will help them?
The cost of patients not taking their medications as prescribed can be substantial in terms of their health. Although a large amount of research evidence has tried to address this problem, there are no well-established approaches to help them, according to a new systematic review published in The Cochrane Library.
Expectant mothers with epilepsy face tough choices over their medication
A new study published today in The Cochrane Library, highlights the difficult decisions women with epilepsy have to face when they become pregnant. Taking certain drugs used to control epilepsy during pregnancy may be linked to developmental problems in children. The authors of the study say evidence on the safety of anti-epileptic drugs is limited and that more research is needed to ensure women and their doctors make the most informed choices.
Timing of epidural is up to the mother
When a woman is in labour, the appropriate time to give an epidural during childbirth is when she asks for it, a new study suggests. Published in The Cochrane Library, the systematic review compared early and late epidurals during labour and found that they had very similar effects.
Cheaper alternative to licensed drug for treating eye disease has similar side-effects says new Cochrane Review
Health policies which favour using ranibizumab for treating eye disease in older people over safety concerns for a cheaper alternative should take account of a new Cochrane Review published today.
Counselling has limited benefit on young people drinking alcohol
Counselling techniques used to help young people with drinking problems may be of limited benefit, a new study suggests.
Shift workers: evidence for sleep inducing and alertness drugs is weak
Shift workers are taking drugs to help them stay awake or get to sleep despite weak evidence for their benefit, according to a new Cochrane review. The authors of the review found only small numbers of trials testing over-the-counter and prescription drugs used by shift workers, and the results suggest that for some people they might do more harm than good.
Asthma drugs suppress growth
Corticosteroid drugs that are given by inhalers to children with asthma may suppress their growth, evidence suggests. Two new systematic reviews published in The Cochrane Library focus on the effects of inhaled corticosteroid drugs (ICS) on growth rates. The authors found children's growth slowed in the first year of treatment, although the effects were minimised by using lower doses.
Advanced breast cancer: benefits of Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) outweigh the risk of harm
In women with advanced (or metastatic) breast cancer, treatment with the breast cancer drug Trastuzumab (Herceptin®) is associated with prolonged survival but also increases the risk of developing heart problems, a new systematic review shows. However, the review, published in The Cochrane Library, concludes that more women benefit from use of Trastuzumab than are harmed.
Zinc Supplementation Boosts Immune System in Children, Cochrane Review Finds
Zinc supplements reduce diarrhoea and other infections in malnourished children, and may prevent death, according to a new study published in The Cochrane Library. The study is the first Cochrane systematic review to focus on zinc as a means to prevent childhood death, including deaths caused by diarrhoea, one of the biggest killers of under-fives.
Stem Cell Therapies Look Promising For Heart Disease
Stem cell therapies work as a complement to standard treatments, potentially cutting the number of deaths after a year, suggests evidence from the latest Cochrane review: Stem cell therapy for chronic ischaemic heart disease and congestive heart failure. Taking stem cells from a patient's bone marrow and injecting them into their damaged heart may be an effective way to treat heart disease.
Exercise Beneficial for Dementia
Exercise may benefit older people with dementia by improving their cognitive functioning and ability to carry out everyday activities, according to a new systematic review published in The Cochrane Library. However, the authors of the review did not see any clear effect of exercise on depression in older people with dementia and say that more evidence is needed to understand how exercise could reduce the burden on family caregivers and health systems.
Wiley and The Cochrane Collaboration Launch Cochrane Learning
The Cochrane Collaboration and John Wiley & Sons, Inc., (NYSE:JWa, JWb), the publisher of The Cochrane Library and Wiley Health Learning activities, today announced that they have extended their partnership by launching a new health professional development resource called Cochrane Learning.
2013 Unorthodox Prize goes to Evidence Aid
Disasters affect millions of people and cost billions of dollars, but people affected and those trying to help them don't always have good access to the best information on what they might do. Evidence Aid will change this. It has just been awarded the 2013 Unorthodox Prize, for an extraordinary and innovative approach to improving the lives of the world's most disadvantaged people.
Exercise for Depression: Some Benefits but Better Trials Are Needed
Exercise may benefit people suffering from depression, according to an updated systematic review published in The Cochrane Library. The authors of the review found evidence to suggest that exercise reduces symptoms of depression, although they say more high quality trials are needed/
Women Who Receive Midwife Care Throughout Their Pregnancy and Birth Have Better Outcomes
Maternity care that involves a midwife as the main care provider leads to better outcomes for most women, according to a systematic review published in The Cochrane Library. Researchers found that women who received continued care throughout pregnancy and birth from a small group of midwives were less likely to give birth pre-term and required fewer interventions during labour and birth than when their care was shared between different obstetricians, GPs and midwives.
Do Antioxidants Improve a Woman's Chances of Conceiving?
There is no high quality evidence that antioxidant supplements help to increase a woman's chances of having a baby, according to the results of a new systematic review. The review, published in The Cochrane Library, found women were no more likely to conceive when taking oral antioxidants and that there was limited information about potential harms.
Clean water and soap may help improve growth in young children
Improving water quality and hygiene practices may improve the growth of children, according to a new report. The Cochrane review – authored by the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and WaterAid – found evidence of small but significant improvements in growth of children under the age of five who have access to clean water and soap.
Later Cord Clamping After Birth Increases Iron Levels in Babies
Delaying clamping of the umbilical cord after birth benefits newborn babies, according to a systematic review published in The Cochrane Library. The authors found babies' blood and iron levels were healthier when the cord was clamped later.

Veterans and service members who meet eligibility requirements, and their dependents, may be buried in one of the Veterans Administration's National Cemeteries. Currently, there are three national cemeteries in South Carolina in Beaufort, Florence and Fort Jackson. A headstone or marker is provided to the surviving spouse if he/she is buried in a National Cemetery. The VA began issuing medallions in 2009 for Veterans if the family already purchased a headstone for private burial. The medallion is mounted to the stone with the Veteran's branch of service indicating they were a Veteran of that branch.
The Veterans Administration provides headstones and markers at no charge for service members who die while on active duty and for eligible Veterans.
The Veterans Administration will pay a burial allowance up to $2,000 if the Veteran's death was service-connected.
If the Veterans death is non service-connected the award is $700 if the Veteran was hospitalized at the VAMC at the time of death. If the Veteran was not hospitalized at the VAMC at the time of death, and was in receipt of monetary benefits, the payment is $300 for burial and funeral expenses and $700 for a plot allowance, if not buried in a VA, state or military cemetery. If the Veteran passed away at a VAMC facility, the VA pays most transportation costs from the VAMC to the cemetery. There is no reimbursement for funeral/burial expenses for a surviving spouse.
Our office or the funeral home will be able to assist with the above benefits.

MCL tournament faithful react to change of venue in 2015

The special illusion enhancing the Mid-Continent League's semifinals and finals for 40 years faded Saturday as attendees learned the tournament is moving to WaKeeney in 2015.
It is unclear whether the MCL will return to Fort Hays State University's Gross Memorial Coliseum in 2016. The college's basketball schedule could not accommodate the MCL next year.
While other mid-season tournaments are held in high school gyms, MCL members knew they had a weekend every January on the big stage. GMC lent the high school tournament an atmosphere associated with collegiate competitions.
The athletes trotted around the indoor track in their warmup gear. The announcer's voice reverberated throughout the coliseum that sits nearly 7,000. The MCL contest did not draw max capacity, but spectators' connection to the athletes suggests the competition was more than a game defined by crowd numbers.
Debbie Junkermeier, Plainville, said she was center for Plainville High School's basketball team more than 30 years ago, and she played in the MCL tournament all four years. Her daughter, Kim, is a junior at the high school and has played as center in the tournament for three years.
"It's a tradition, and it's going to be kind of weird that it's not going to happen anymore," Debbie said.
Competing inside GMC elevates the game's intensity for many of the young athletes.
"My daughter always said, when you're on the floor playing, no matter what the score is, you're always excited," Debbie said.
Kim said moving the tournament loses some of its luster.
"Mainly the feeling of wanting to play here," Kim said. "Like I guess, WaKeeney, you play there if you play away ... we're just playing at a regular gym, feels like we're back in junior high playing for the MCEL."
Chuck Decker, Smith Center, said the weekend tournament was a family tradition.
"I've had four of my kids play in this tournament down here, so it's just been kind of a tradition that we come down to Hays and Gross," Decker said. "We're going to miss that; everyone's kind of down about that."
Jared Casey, a sixth-grader at Sacred Heart Grade School in Plainville, said he had hoped to compete at the coliseum when he reached college.
"I kind of wanted to play in a university, get some experience if I play basketball when I'm older," Casey said.
Standing on the sidelines a few feet away from where she competed as a teenager, Debbie reflected on the tournament's change of venue.
"I just wish we could be able to keep the tradition going, but I know everything comes to an end sometime," she said.

People who want to be a CNA must undergo suitable CNA classes in North Carolina area which is required by the government. Once the relevant prerequisite is completed, the decision of issuing your license will be made after you passed the examination. To pass and to fail the exam will take impact on the path of your goals and the result of your certification exam. For that reason, you must do well and focus more on studying every class. There are certain inconsistencies as to the type of class that you will be in, based on the state that you are in.
Determine the requirements before attending the classes by taking a look at your state's Board of Nursing. They are usually the ones who administer and prescribe the correct program to be followed for nursing assistant courses. They are also the ones in charge of approving the facilities that also offer these trainings for nursing assistants so that you could get the required standard of training. Before attending in a class, it is an advantage to be researching for these topics initially to have the most of this training.
The extent of the CNA Classes in Windsor depends on the number of hours that the school provided for this specific program. There is a minimum set of hours in the US, which is 75, but this can vary among states. Several of these states may even require a training minimum of 150 hours for the training program. Depending on the school's schedule, this training may last for three to 8 weeks at a time. If you will take classes, you should select a regular schedule as opposed to irregular which will only take 8 hours a day and last only for a couple of weeks.
Included Sciences
The usual topics of CNA courses cover the basic sciences along with the medical courses which will have an essential effect on your CNA tasks as recommended by the state. These include many topics such as Infection Control, Basic Human Anatomy, Mobilization and Transport of Patients, Emergency and Safety Methods, Health and Nutrition, Communication Abilities, Grooming, Vital Signs Elimination, Old Age and Dementia as well as The Rights of a Patient. Additional subject would be needed and provided which is Pharmacy and IV Administration if CNAs are allowed to prescribe medication to patients.
Maximum Number Of Enrollees For Each Class
Because of the short duration of classes and also the coming in of new students in Windsor almost each week, the CNA training classes are typically assumed to be small. In other states, it is also prescribed that each class must have only about 10 students maximum in order to assure an intensive and effective training. This allows the trainer to be able to focus on each student as well as to give the maximum number of hours for every student on their practical training.
In Windsor, do not be taken aback if classes are split up into practical training sessions and classrooms. This lets the students to learn well by actual training and not only through listening. The practical training is a very important factor of the training that's why it should have equal number of hours or even more. Usually, the school wouldn't permit you to proceed to actual training right until you've passed a particular test on the theoretical part of the class. Hence, studying is important if you aim to accomplish the CNA course appropriately.
Prior to getting your license as a certified nursing assistant, you need to go through the required CNA classes. This is important for the student in order to be educated in the functions and responsibilities of a CNA. Furthermore, you will acquire more comprehension of the CNA's various facets and the needs of your patients in the future. Being knowledgeable about the important parts of the training would enable you to get a good score in the examinations and provide a good support for your future career as a CNA.
Performing all the things you can in your class would show to be one of the most fulfilling things you can do. It's the employer's desire to hire candidates with outstanding academic performance and good results on their exams. Looking for a job won't be hard as you graduate when you apply a lot of efforts in studying and present excellent performance. Sometime soon, giving your very best in studying and listening to instructions will be advantageous in having more job opportunities in this field. You can get a lot of these classes made available in your place.

Afghanistan is sitting on mineral resources worth $1 trillion and could become one of the worlds most important mining centers, the Pentagon announced yesterday, as it tried to drum up foreign investment and wean the country off the opium trade.
A Pentagon memo predicted that the country could become the "Saudi Arabia of lithium" - a metal that is a key raw material in the manufacture of batteries for laptops and mobile phones.
The largest deposits have been uncovered in salt lakes in Ghazni province, eastern Afghanistan, where the Taliban retain a dominant presence. Many of the other mineral deposits are also in Taliban strongholds, presenting the coalition forces and any incoming global mining companies with security headaches.
US and Afghan officials acknowledge that it will take many years to develop a mining industry and in the present security climate international companies are likely to weigh up the risks before launching into an investment program in a country still politically unstable and suffering from insurgency and corruption.
The Pentagon estimate was questioned by geologists and mining experts, who said that it was based on old and incomplete data and did not take into account security and infrastructure problems.
Two senior geologists working in Afghanistan also said that they were unaware of any proven deposits of lithium.
The announcement nonetheless throws a spotlight on probably the only legal industry with the potential to prop up the Afghan economy - worth only $12 billion last year - after Western troops and subsidies are withdrawn. The narcotics export trade in the country is estimated to be worth an annual $4 billion.
"I think its very, very big news for the people of Afghanistan," Waheed Omar, a spokesman for President Karzai, told a news conference. "This is an economic interest that will benefit all Afghans and will benefit Afghanistan in the long run."
The Pentagon memo appeared to be an effort to attract international interest in the mining sector before the auction of the Hajigak iron deposit, which could be worth $5 billion to $6 billion (£3.4 billion-£4 billion) in the next few weeks.
It coincided with a visit to India by Wahidullah Shahrani, the new Afghan Minister of Mines, to solicit bids for Hajigak after the cancellation of a planned tender last year because of a lack of international interest. Mr Shahrani was appointed with US backing in January after his predecessor was sacked for allegedly taking bribes from a Chinese mining company - a charge he denies. Mr Shahrani is due to visit Britain next week.
Afghan and Western officials are anxious for more companies to bid for Hajigak and other deposits to prevent China from gaining control over Afghanistans natural resources through bids subsidised heavily by Beijing.
A Pentagon spokesman admitted that the estimate was based principally on old data, which was gathered mainly by the Soviets during their occupation of Afghanistan from 1979-1989.
The British Geological Survey collated that data between 2003 and 2008, and the US Geological Survey carried out an aerial survey of Afghanistan in 2006 before publishing a report on its mineral resources in 2008.
"All the public information has been in the public domain for several years now," the Pentagon spokesman told The Times. "We took a look at what we knew to be there, and asked what would it be worth now in terms of todays dollars. The trillion dollar figure seemed to be newsworthy." He said that the estimate was arrived at by a team of US officials from the Pentagon, the State Department and USAID working with experts from the US Geological Survey (USGS) over the past two to three years.
The team was overseen by Paul Brinkley, Deputy Under-Secretary of Defence for Business, who worked previously in Iraq trying to promote local business and attract foreign investment.
The Pentagon spokesman said he was certain that the estimate was based on proven reserves of minerals including gold, copper, iron, cobalt and lithium.
However, he could not confirm a report that the team had discovered lithium deposits in the province of Ghazni that could be as large as Bolivias.
Stephen Peters, the head of the USGSs Afghanistan Minerals Project, said that he was unaware of USGS involvement in any new surveying for minerals in Afghanistan in the past two years. "We are not aware of any discoveries of lithium," he said.
Another experienced geologist working in Afghanistan said that it would take at least three to five years to establish a proven deposit of lithium.
"They couldnt have done a proper assessment. They might have taken a few samples and found some lithium, but that doesnt mean anything," he said.
He also dismissed a report that the US team had found proven deposits of niobium - another rare metal that is used in wind turbines.

Reuniting with a host-family
By Dustin White
Mandan News, editor
It has been 35 years since Reiko Tokukatsu attended school at Mandan High. Unlike many others who left those classes behind, having graduated or moving to a different school in the state, Tokukatsu had boarded a plane and flew to Japan: her home.
When Tokukatsu originally came to Mandan, as a foreign exchange student during the fall of 1978, she was just 15 years old and eager to learn.
"I had wanted to learn English more directly, and the culture as well, so I came to America," Tokukatsu said. "My teacher had encouraged me to take the trip."
Arriving in North Dakota was a shock, but that was expected said Tokukatsu. The largest shock to her though was having to be taken places and not being able to walk everywhere.
Tokukatsu quickly adapted and began just taking in the new experiences.
"When she was here, she would walk around Mandan and just take in the sights," Honey Shaw, Tokukatsu host-mother, said. "She was very brave, for being that young and being thrown into this atmosphere."
During her time here, she was often a visitor at the post office, as she wrote her mother in Japan quite often.
"Our friend was the post master at that time, he was a big man, and one time he told us that he had looked up, and here was this little Japanese girl who just wandered in and started asking questions," Shaw said.
It was this learning that she had wanted to take in. It was a chance to immerse herself in not only the language, but also the culture. There were hurdles in the way, such as a partial language barrier, but she cleared them.
"Maybe I didn't speak English that well, but I could manage," Tokukatsu said.
When she did leave back to Japan, she took home much more than just a better understanding of English and our culture, she had also gained a new family.
After returning to Japan, Tokukatsu was a year behind her former classmates. She was aware that by traveling to North Dakota meant that she would have to take a year off of school. While the purpose was for academics, the courses that she took in Mandan would not count towards her schooling in
Japan. Nevertheless, Tokukatsu decided to take that the journey was worth it, and found that the experience was formative. Back at school in Japan, she was also able to make friends with an entirely new set of students.
"My nickname with my new classmates was big sister," Tokukatsu said.
Now, after more than three decades, Tokukatsu, who is now a bond analyst, returned to Mandan. While she has been back before, after she finished her undergraduate in 1986, this return was a bit different. She was not traveling alone, but was accompanied by her three children: 17-year-old twin daughters and a son turning 11.
For them, this was their first time being to the United States, and to the home where their mother had lived for a year. It was an important experience. Not only were her children able to see the place that helped shape their mother's life, but they also were able to see a different world.
"It's quite important to learn something different," Tokukatsu said. "You live in one place, and that that is how things are."
"Traveling is important to see what you have," Kelley (Shaw) Reuer, Tokukatsu's host-sister, said.
Returning also brought back memories for Tokukatsu. As the family talked, they relived many little moments together. The trip also made many new memories though, especially for her kids, who have only lived in large cities.
One of the largest impacts was visiting the shopping markets and malls. The size of items was quite different than what one found in Japan. It was just bigger in North Dakota: bigger goods, bigger space.
"Anything that size is interesting," Tokukatsu said.
Her children appeared to enjoy the trip as well, with her twin daughters agreeing they would like to return if they got the chance. For them, the language barrier was a bit less; however, the three of them did learn English in school and understood very well. In their home though, Japanese was usually spoken.
"Sometimes when mom gets angry, she speaks English though," Tokukatsu children said.
Whether Tokukatsu would return to Mandan in the future wasn't definite, but she had enjoyed being back, and reconnecting with her host-family.
"I don't want to break a promise if I made one," Tokukatsu said. "So I don't know if I will come back, but I'm grateful for being welcomed back.

Rapid, iterative testing throughout the lifecycle.
Performance engineers rarely want to execute a single test. You execute a series of tests, building upon prior test results. CloudTest's real-time analytics, visual test creation environment, dynamic test-grid provisioning and the ability to start, stop, pause and restart tests give you complete testing flexibility, and they accelerate the iterative testing process.
With that acceleration comes a reduction in time and expense for performance testing. You can then allocate that savings to low-scale testing in the earlier stages of development and QA. So rather than betting on a single flight of tests right before launch, you can afford more comprehensive testing throughout your development lifecycle. This delivers higher-performing applications and lowers your business risks. And who wouldn't want that?

Lots of Maya. Less travel.
If you're looking for a short trip to ancient Maya temples while staying in Corozal, Santa Rita is just outside of town and gives you a chance to see some without traveling to a remote area. Santa Rita was founded in 1500 BC and was one of the district's major trading centers. There are few structures uncovered and no guides to show you around. But with a little imagination, you should be able to transport yourself back in time. Or, at least, get some nice pictures.

Since this software can clean your computer and at the same time boost its performance (avoid Windows rot by getting rid of gunk) -- you put off buying that $1000 new computer for another year. If you put it in those terms, you probably just saved at least 200-500 dollars! Which definitely pays for the program ten times over. And when you buy your new computer, you can use the same software on that too! Below we've reviewed the top 3 security software programs that offer great value by specializing in permanently and securely deleting unnecessary files. While each package has a different price point depending on your requirements, all software titles below allow you to try before you buy so that you assured not to be stuck with some program that doesn't work for you -- really, you can't go wrong!

Get those personal and unwanted files erased immediately! Update! Over the past few years we've maintained a list of 3 recommended programs for securing your computer and permanently deleting unwanted files.

Mary Lyn is the founder of Big Fish Power Yoga and opened the doors to the studio in September 2010. The creation of Big Fish was the culmination of years of practice and leaning into a bigger game in life for herself and for serving others. Mary Lyn has been in a consistent practice of expanding as a student and teacher since 2004. Her classes are challenging yet accessible and filled with fun and heart.
Baron Baptiste is Mary Lyn's main teacher with her first influence being Senior Baptiste Teacher, Lisa Black. While living in Seattle for almost a decade, Baptiste yoga and Lisa's classes were introduced to her by a friend; she felt she had landed home.
Mary Lyn has a heart for service. She is a third-year Mentor with Africa Yoga Project, an AYP Empowerment Coach, a two-year Ambassador with lululemon athletica and a Certified Baptiste Instructor at the 500-hour level. Mary Lyn is an E-RYT 500, leads powerful 200-hour Teacher Trainings at Big Fish and assists Baron on teacher trainings and programs whenever she's needed. Collaboration is her commitment and to recognize every single person who walks through the door as a leader ready to emerge.
"One of my favorite statements from Baron is, 'we get powerful by making others powerful.' This is my truth and what I am committed to being for the time I've been given. I get to give this to my kids, my friends and neighbors, my students, people in my immediate community and those who don't have easy access to this powerful life-changing work. I have embraced why I am here. It is to serve from a grateful heart."
Currently, Mary Lyn feels strongest when she's teaching students and athletes yoga in the lunchroom at Lee High School, empowering students to become leaders and teachers at Big Fish, collaborating with the powerful Team at Big Fish on big ideas for our community and dancing with her kids and husband in their living room.
She believes in honoring all teachers who have impacted her life. These giants on the planet and in the classroom, just to name a few, include:
