Five Best Trees for Your Yard
Of course the five best trees for your yard might not suit my back garden, but here are some top tips to picking trees. Trees are an important consideration in any landscaping project.
Trees can give shade, bear edible fruit, serve as wind breaks and provide beauty.
However, trees can also be a nuisance. Some of them are messy, smell bad, attract unwanted critters, reproduce profusely, are weak-wooded and can simply get too large.
When designing a landscape, many homeowners add trees without fully understanding what those little saplings will grow into.
The kinds of trees you choose will depend upon your aesthetic preferences, available space, available sunlight and water capabilities.
It's important to consider them all before buying. However, there are some trees that are good for all situations. Here are the five best trees for your yard.
Japanese Maple
Japanese maples are short trees that rarely grow larger than ten feet tall.
There are many varieties of this tree that come in different colors, growth habits and leaf shapes.
The Japanese maple is a resilient plant that is hardy even in cold regions.
One of the most appealing features of this tree is that it is very tidy. It produces seed in small quantities and they don't often sprout.
Plant Japanese maples in spaces with low to medium sun. Water needs are average.
Pines are popular because of their strong, rapid growth and simple maintenance. Many gardeners also find their needles to be an ideal mulch for acid-loving plants.
While some pines can exceed 70 feet in height, others are more compact.
They do well when grown in crowded conditions and prefer low exposure to sunlight. Most pines have higher than average water needs and don't tolerate drought well.
Alders are beautiful trees that are often chosen for their bright autumn foliage.
It is a long-lived, durable tree and some varieties, like the grey alder, don't exceed 15 feet in height.
Alders are fairly tidy trees, but they do bear small, woody fruits that look like tiny pine cones when dry. Note that they don't tolerate drought well and have high water needs.
These skinny-trunked trees are a common sight in many US back yards.
Staying between four and 12 feet tall, sumacs are deceptively sturdy and do amazingly well in poor soil.
They don't mind being crowded together and are tolerant of droughts. During the fall, their leaves turn fiery shades of red, orange and yellow.
Yews are most familiar as evergreen hedges and shrubs, but they can grow into trees as well.
Beware, that they can grow between 30 and 70 feet tall.
These trees don't make much of a mess and their tiny red fruits are eagerly eaten by birds. They don't proliferate easily. Yews require average watering but do not like droughts.
So, there you are, the five best trees for your yard.
If you are want to plant a tree but would like help choosing something appropriate for your circumstances, you can always find an arborist to help.

Social Media Advice from House Of Cards (Ep. 3 of 4)
By Eric Johnson
Las Vegas Informer
Welcome to part 3 of our House of Cards series. Each article in this series is based on one key quote from Frank Underwood. Let's continue!
"There is nothing more disgraceful than running from a battle." Frank Underwood
For entrepreneurs and business owners, we could rephrase this into:
"There is nothing more disgraceful than running from an opportunity."
Social media presents a golden opportunity. It's a gateway to connecting with potential clients like never before. It's a way to build your platform, showcase your products and/or services, and gain greater visibility.
Two powerhouse opportunities in front of you are:
- Facebook Ads.
- Using LinkedIn to connect with your ideal clients.
The Opportunity with Facebook Ads:
If you're new to Facebook advertising, here are some tips.
- Use Power Editor (www.facebook.com/powereditor) instead of regular Facebook ad creation (www.facebook.com/ads).
- Power Editor gives you more targeting capabilities and an amazing array of features. Here's the catch though. It's not user-friendly. At all.
- If you hire someone to run Facebook ads for you, make sure that they use Power Editor. Always ask about this before hiring someone.
- What you'll be charged for ad creation depends on who you work with. Beyond that, you can set the budget for almost any amount you want, and you can run your ad for whatever amount of time you want. Facebook makes the budget and amount of time very user-friendly.
- Running Facebook ads, like anything, is a learning process. Running a few different ads allows you to see which targeting works best, which images work best, and so forth. This helps you get a strong foothold on your Facebook ad mojo.
The Opportunity with LinkedIn:
- Get familiar with the search feature. It's an underrated goldmine. To get started, type in your ideal client's role or title (consultant, personal trainer, entrepreneur, plumber, bookkeeper, etc). Be sure to search under "People" (instead of Companies, Jobs, Groups, etc).
- To the left of the new screen that it takes you to, under "Relationship", select 2nd Connections. These are people with whom you share mutual connections already. This is "warmer" than reaching out to "3rd Connections and Everyone Else".
- For "Location", select what is most applicable to you. It may be United States, your state, or your city.
- With the results that come up, read through the most engaging profiles, and choose to connect with those people who are specifically your ideal audience members (target market).
- Note: They may choose not to connect with you. Remember, some people are on LinkedIn once a day, some once a month, and some just a couple times a year. If someone doesn't connect, don't take it personally.
- Once you've connected with someone new, send a message and introduce yourself and get the conversation started.
- Most of the time, you can add 15-25 targeted connections safely each week without coming across as spammy or getting a warning message from who I can the "LinkedIn Police".
- Add targeted connections each week and over time your LinkedIn targeted connections will grow to a phenomenal number. You can't do this on any other social media platform.
- (There's tons more to write but that's a good amount to get you going!)
There's the opportunity in front of you. What are you waiting for? Go for it.

Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan wins presidential poll: election authority
Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has become the country's first popularly elected president.
Turkey's High Election Board (YSK) said on Sunday Mr Erdogan had won the race, citing provisional figures.
"The provisional results show that Erdogan has the majority of the valid votes," YSK chairman Sadi Guven told a news conference.
"Tomorrow I will provide the numbers. We have received more than 99 percent [of the votes]. Tomorrow we will announce the provisional results."
Turkish media is reporting Mr Erdogan won the poll with just over 52 per cent of the vote.
His main rival Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu won 38.8 per cent of the vote and Kurdish candidate Selahattin Demirtas 9.1 per cent of the vote, Turkish television channels said.
"I congratulate Mr Prime Minister and wish him success," Mr Ihsanoglu said in a brief statement to reporters in Istanbul.
New style of leadership
Mr Erdogan, 60, said the Turkish people had "shown their will", but stopped short of formally declaring victory, saying he would make a full statement later.
"I hope the final whistle will be blown by the referee, but the stands have made their decision. The people have shown their will," he told crowds of supporters at a convention centre in Istanbul.
He is expected to fly to Ankara to make a victory address.
Mr Erdogan is set to lead on a mandate to create what he calls a "new Turkey".
He has pledged to become an active head of state after dominating the Turkish political scene for 11 years as prime minister.
Mr Erdogan is likely to exercise the president's full powers defined in the constitution, unlike his predecessors including outgoing Abdullah Gul who have played a largely ceremonial role.

Read an Excerpt
A History of the Boom and Bust, 1982-2004
Chapter One
The Market's Cycles
January 1975. When Richard Russell squinted, he saw the silhouette of a bull emerging against a bleak horizon. The author of Richard Russell's Dow Theory Letter, Russell had been writing his financial newsletter since 1958, and by now he had a wide following -- at least among those still willing to read about stocks. Over the past two years, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had lost nearly half of its value.
The Dow had last seen blue skies in 1966 when it grazed 1000. Two years later, it flirted with 1000 again, but in fact, the bull market that began in the fifties was peaking -- much as the bull market that began in the eighties peaked at the end of the nineties.
After reaching its apex in the late sixties, the Dow rallied and plunged, rallied and plunged without getting anywhere -- until finally, in January of 1973, the benchmark index smashed 1000, setting a new high at 1051.69. It seemed that a new bull market had begun. In fact, the bear was just baiting investors, luring them in so that they could be impaled on the spike of a final bear market rally. What followed was the crash of 197374.
When it was all over, in December of 1974, both the Dow and the S&P 500 had been slashed nearly in half; trading volume had all but dried up; mutual fund managers were grateful to find jobs as bartenders and taxi-cabdrivers, and Morgan Guaranty, the nation's largest pension-fund manager, had lost an estimated two-thirds of its clients' money. As for individual investors, the public was shorn. Between December of 1968 and October of 1974, the average stock had lost 70 percent of its value.
Nonetheless, at the beginning of 1975, Richard Russell could all but hear the bull snorting. At last, he believed, the bear market had bottomed. And he was right, just as he would be in the fall of 1999, when he warned readers that the first phase of a bear market had begun. By then, Richard Russell's Dow Theory Letter was the oldest and one of the most widely read financial newsletters in the United States.
Russell based his predictions on "Dow Theory," an analysis of stock market cycles invented by William Peter Hamilton and Charles Dow. (Co-founder of Dow Jones & Company, Charles Dow also lent his name to the benchmark stock market index.) At the end of the century many investors would assume that "market timing" meant day trading, buying and selling stocks in a matter of hours, days, or, at most, months. But Dow Theory does not attempt to predict the highs and lows of particular stocks, nor does it strain to forecast the market's short-term gyrations. Instead, it focuses on longer trends -- cycles that can last for years. Each cycle is the peculiar product of a particular moment in economic and political history, but in Dow's view the force behind each go-round was the same: human nature.
Most descriptions of investor psychology reduce human behavior to a series of simple knee-jerk reactions: rampant greed followed by blind fear. Charles Dow sketched something subtler in The Wall Street Journal editorials that he wrote between 1899 and 1902. He recognized that investors do not rush into a bull market, and when it ends they do not swoon in surrender to the bear. Both bull and bear cycles begin slowly, he observed, because "[t]here is always a disposition in people's minds to think the existing conditions will be permanent. When the market is down and dull, it is hard to make people believe that this is the prelude to a period of activity and advance. When prices are up and the country is prosperous," Dow added, "it is always said that while preceding booms have not lasted ... [this time there are] 'unique circumstances' [which will make prosperity permanent]."
Because human beings are slow to embrace change, these cycles can run a decade, or longer. In fact, as Gail Dudack, chief market strategist at SunGard Institutional Brokerage, shows in the table below, the history of the S&P 500 from 1982 through 1999 can be broken down into alternating "strong" and "weak" cycles that average nearly 15 years. During the booms, investors who plowed their dividends back into their portfolios reaped returns averaging nearly 18 percent a year -- even after adjusting for inflation. During the dry spells, by contrast, average "real" (inflation-adjusted) total returns dropped to less than 2 percent. Without dividends, investors lost nearly 3 percent a year.
In the final third of the twentieth century, the market's returns fit the pattern with ruthless precision: from January 1967 through December 1982, investors averaged 0.2 percent annually -- and that was if they reinvested their dividends. Those who became discouraged and stopped plowing their dividends back into the market lost an average of nearly 4 percent a year -- year after year, for 16 years. Finally, in 1982, the cycle turned: from January 1983 through December 1999, real returns averaged 12.1 percent. If an investor reinvested his dividends, he was rewarded with annual returns of 15.7 percent.
"Few investors realize how much dividends have contributed to the stock market's performance," Dudack observed. "Nor does the public realize that in this century, there have been three separate periods, ranging from 16 to 20 years, when inflation-adjusted capital gains on the S&P have been negative."
Inevitably, any attempt to break the past down into cycles involves choosing beginning and ending points that are, to some degree, arbitrary. Others might well divide the market's cycles somewhat differently. But virtually every market historian agrees on the larger picture: the history of the market is a story of bull and bear markets that take place against a backdrop of much longer waves ...Bull!

I Speak...Love by Annalisa Nicole
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
4.5 stars worth of great characters, emotion-charged storyline and just generally excellent writing
Stephen Mason has been carrying around a load of guilt and secrets since his parents were killed in a car accident seventeen years ago that left his younger brother blind and his little sister with severe depression. Maddie Malone has her own issues after being abandoned as an infant and shuttled from foster home to foster home throughout her entire childhood. Where Stephen believes that he'll end up hurting anyone he allows to become close to him, Maddie's history has taught her that she'll lose anything she comes to care about. While I Speak...Love could technically be read as a standalone, as the third book in the A Different Road series, there is a lot of carryover from the previous books. This is not only Stephen and Maddie's story, but also a wrap up for the storylines for the other couples in the series.
I ADORED I Hear...Love and liked I See...Love almost as much, so I was really looking forward to Stephen and Maddie's story, and this book has the great characters, emotion-charged storyline and just generally excellent writing that I've come to expect from this author. However, it couldn't quite match up to those first two stories for me--I didn't connect to the characters as well for one, and I found the disconnect between the perception of Stephen's character in the first two books to how he actually is in this book a little disconcerting.
This book is still very good, though, plus I loved wrap up for the other couples. I look forward to more books by this author. 4 to 4.5 stars

| Thomas Rhett - Tuesday, August 29
Country singer-songwriter Thomas Rhett, propelled by six consecutive No. 1 hits and a string of music awards including the Academy of Country Music's (ACM's) Male Vocalist of the Year, is headlining at The Great Allentown Fair on August 29.
The title track off of Rhett's debut album "It Goes Like This" gave him his first No. 1 hit in 2013. His next two songs sent to radio, "Get Me Some of That" and "Make Me Wanna," also went to the top of Billboard's Hot Country Songs.
Rhett's follow-up sophomore album, the certified Platinum powerhouse "Tangled Up" released in 2015, features party anthems, dance tunes, drinking songs and love ballads that he wrote while on tour for his first record. Its first single, "Crash and Burn," earned Rhett another Platinum ranking and his fourth No. 1.
His latest single, "Craving You," injects what Rolling Stone Magazine called an '80s Pop influence and features background harmonies from this year's breakout female Country artist Maren Morris. The pair performed the song at last month's ACM Awards show.
Tickets for Thomas Rhett with special guest Dan + Shay are $49, $69 and $80.
| Keith Urban - Wednesday, August 30
Four-time Grammy Award winner Keith Urban is bringing his "ripCORD World Tour 2017" to Fair.
Urban's eighth studio album RIPCORD, released last year, has produced four No. 1 singles—the Grammy nominated "John Cougar, John Deere, John 3:16," "Break On Me," "Wasted Time" and his most recent hit, "Blue Ain't Your Color," a multi-week chart-topper. His fifth single off of RIPCORD, "The Fighter (featuring Carrie Underwood)," recently pushed Urban's streak to 38-in-a row as the artist with the most consecutive top 10 songs on Billboard's Country Airplay Chart—a feat that began in August of 2000.
Distinguished as a singer-songwriter-musician with exceptional prowess on the guitar, Urban hit the road last year following RIPCORD's amazing debut atop all-genre charts in the United States, Canada and Australia.
Urban's four Best Male Country Vocal Performance GRAMMYs were awarded for "You'll Think of Me" in 2006, "Stupid Boy" in 2008, "Sweet Thing" in 2010 and "Til Summer Comes Around" in 2011, a song with summer-laden images including lyrics about Ferris wheels that perfectly fit the evening he performed it at the fair when he last appeared in 2010.
He made Country Music Association (CMA) history being its first Horizon Award honoree to go on as his career progressed to win CMA's prestigious Male Country Vocalist of the Year, a title he's captured three times, and Entertainer of the Year awards.
With 22 No. 1 hit singles, the last six consecutive, and eight studio and four compilation albums, the last five consecutively going platinum or multi-platinum, Urban has taken his place among the country music elite.
Tickets for Keith Urban are $59, $85 and $99.

Friday, August 28, 2015
Vaccine exemptions are a hot-button topic across the United States, and many jurisdictions have opted to uphold and fortify the notion that parents are in the best position to decide whether their child should receive vaccinations. Some states, however, have worked to whittle away at the exemptions historically offered to skeptical parents, and have essentially forced families to undergo vaccination regiments in order to enroll in public school.
In a recent case out of New York, parents have invoked their First Amendment religious freedom rights in opposing New York's relatively expansive mandatory vaccine schedule. More specifically, the petitioners claim that vaccinating their child violates their closely held religious beliefs prohibiting the use of inoculations for any purpose. Accordingly, the petitioners further contend that the state of New York has implemented an unconstitutional vaccination program, which actually requires vaccines prior to entering preschool.
In their complaint, the petitioners set forth evidence to suggest that the novelty and usefulness of vaccinations do not outweigh the risk factors. Furthermore, petitioners contend that vaccines have not proven scientifically effective in controlling the spread of childhood illnesses, and that the only parties set to gain any real benefit from vaccination programs are large pharmaceutical companies.
Currently, the Centers for Disease Control recommends a vaccination schedule of 69 different injections by the time a child reaches age 15.
The implications of this type of case are huge, particularly in light of other states like California with similarly expansive mandatory schedules and minimal rights to exemption. In sum, the case pits foundational constitutional religious freedom against the state's interest in maintaining a mandatory vaccination program in its public schools. The results could be exceptionally impactful.
If you believe your child was injured by a vaccine or you would like to discuss your rights under current vaccination and exemption laws, please do not hesitate to contact one of our knowledgeable vaccine injury attorneys at the Law Offices of Leah Durant, PLLC at 202-800-1711. We serve clients throughout the United States.

The Waterproof Bible
by Andrew Kaufman (Goodreads Author)
by Andrew Kaufman (Goodreads Author)
Peter Darbyshire's review
Mar 22, 2010
Read from March 22 to April 27, 2010
A woman tries to stop projecting her emotions into the minds of those around her by instead channeling her feelings into possessions, which she hides in a storage facility. A man builds a sailboat in the middle of the Prairies, despite there being no water nearby — until father and son rainmakers make a catastrophic appearance. A woman from an aquatic civilization searches for her mother, who has hidden herself among the land dwellers and is running an abandoned hotel. A musician has an uneasy relationship with a woman who may or may not be God. What do these characters have in common? Exactly the sort of weirdness CanLit needs.

10 Questions on Writing & Publishing with Ali Luke: Interview
Posted on 04 May 2017
Today, we have author Ali Luke of Aliventures telling us all about her writing journey, her favorites and more.
Personality Type (Myers-Briggs):
Don't know!
Favorite Book:
I have so many favourites, but one I've loved for many years is The Treasure Seekers by E. Nesbit. You're never too old for children's books! J
Favorite Author(s):
Again, so many! Long-standing favourites are C.S. Lewis, Joanne Harris, Margaret Atwood, and Celia Friedman. Recently, I've been really enjoying Sophie Hannah's psychological crime novels.
Zodiac Sign:
Don't know, never cared!
Favorite Color:
Favorite Season:
Winter (my birthday's in December).
City of Your Dreams:
I love Cambridge, where I lived as a child and where I went to university.
Favorite TV Show/ Movie:
All-time favourite TV show is Firefly. I've enjoyed pretty much all the Marvel movies.
Favorite YouTuber/ Channel:
I don't watch much on YouTube!
Most underrated book, in your opinion:
Clarissa by Samuel Richardson. Not underrated really so much as unknown (outside of academia!) It's one of the earlist novels in English and I studied it as an undergraduate.
Are you a morning person or a night owl?
Definitely a morning person.
When did you know that you wanted to become an author?
By the time I was a teenager, quite possibly before. I spent my 14th birthday money on Nigel Watt's Write a Novel (and Get it Published).
When did you start the blog? How has the journey been so far?
I started Aliventures in mid-2009 (though I had a couple of blogs before that too). There have definitely been a few rough patches along the way, but I've absolutely loved writing there and building up a community around the blog.
What advice would you give aspiring non-fiction writers?
Get a bit of experience (perhaps writing a blog post or a bit of web copy for a charity) and then start putting yourself out there and looking for paid work.
Oh, and read my post Freelance Writing: Ten Steps, Tons of Resources. J
If you're thinking of writing a non-fiction book and you've not had any experience previously, I'd definitely suggest trying your hand at a few articles or blog posts first.
Is this any different from the advice you'd give fiction writers?
I think fiction writers should launch write in! If you want to write fiction, then do – it's a long path to success but I have yet to find anything as intrinsically rewarding and fulfilling as writing fiction!
What is the best book marketing advice you've ever gotten?
Pay for professional editing and cover design. A lot of people gave me this advice (and I've passed it on in turn). It really does make a huge difference.
How long did it take to go from an aspiring author to earning a full-time income from writing? Any tips for those that are in the process?
It's hard to say how long, exactly: I guess I wanted to be an author when I was 13, and I started making a living writing when I was 23, so 10 years!
I still don't make much money from fiction – but I love all the non-fiction I do, plus my work with other writers.
What was the turning point in your journey as a self-published author? When did you know that whatever you were doing was starting to work?
There have been several turning points, but a big one was quitting my day job back in 2008.
Thank you so much for doing this interview with us. Do you have any projects in the pipeline? When can we expect to hear more from you?
I've always got several projects on the go! I've just completed a redesign of my site www.writershuddle.com (a community/teaching site for writers) and I'm working a stand-alone novella, which will be free, and the third book in my Lycopolis trilogy.

EasyBib & Google Addons
EasyBib is a great app and it has recently been included in Google Docs Addons. Addons are a recent addition to Google Docs and a great one. I can only assume that more addons will be added in the future. Students can easily add their citations in their papers with the add on. The addon allows students to stay in the same window. You are able to achieve a lot with the free version. The paid version gives you more options including taking notes. Though I will review Evernote very soon and I am starting to prefer this to noodletools and other notetaking sites.
Citation is the bread and butter of librarianship along with research. Anything to make the process easier for students is key for me. Bibliographies and giving credit is a big problem for students. It is imperative for us, as teacher librarians, to instill in students an understanding of digital ownership. If we are going to go to Google Images use creativecommons.org. Okay, I am off my soapbox.
EasyBib is an app that takes the wonderful free citation creator website and repackages it as an app. You can keep track of your bibliography and email it to yourself and it is even easier with the addon. It is very easy to use on an iPad because you can save to the app and access later if you are logged in. Three styles are included on the site: MLA, APA, and Chicago/Turabian (however to use all the types you have to pay). (From Appstore: Create accurate MLA, APA, and Chicago style citations in seconds by scanning a book bar code or by typing the name of a book. Build and manage your works cited. Once done, email your citations and then export your citations to EasyBib.com's popular bibliography management service.) The scanning of the barcode is exciting to me. It is also a GoogleApp. Your Google Administrator can add it to your Google Apps account. The App is free and has MLA styling.
There are, of course, other options out there including: Oregon School Library Information System (OSLIS) Citation Maker
Google Forms @ Lib
Very quickly during my first year at the middle school level I discovered the need to automate the pass system. In the past study hall teachers gave permission for a few students to come during each period. This was problematic because I was transitioning the library into a learning commons model. I wanted and still want to create self-directed learners and all students would need access to the library by their own choice. Putting the power into the hands of the students continues to be important to me.
Although students do forget to sign up for the library there are still ways for them to gain access. They can get a project pass (from the teacher they have a project with) or come on a ten minute pass to get a book. All students go into the google spreadsheet which is accessible from the library website to anyone (staff and student alike).
As you can see the Google Spreadsheet the students come in to cross their name out is not the same as the spreadsheet created with a Google Form. I do have to create an additional spreadsheet. However, once it is created the entire sorting process in the morning takes at most 10 minutes. I have even done it in five on a busy morning (what morning is not busy :)) I can see the revision history so if any funny business goes on it is easily viewable. I can access the spreadsheet from any computer or device.
The form itself can be viewed here and it is embedded into my website. The students can add this link to their devices and can sign up in the library. One of my catalog computers has been turned into a sign up machines/catalog. Most students use that computer to sign up. I am working on getting the students to use it beyond the library. Interestingly I did see a student the other day signing up in their study halls. That was great…I want students to be self-sufficient.
Marketing & CCLS
Although the Common Core is here to stay at least for now it is more important that every for librarians to continue to market themselves. We have Common Core and inquiry-based learning written across out foreheads. AASL's Standards for the 21st Century Learner was in effect long before Common Core was a glimmer in the distance.
I have found it effective to use the students who have ownership of the library. I have created videos about how the students use the library for the school board. I also attend as many professional developments with the teachers that I am able so I can talk in their language. In New York especially with the rise of the required research paper this falls in the purview of the librarian. Even if you cannot directly collaborate with the teachers providing resources and being available is key.
Create an online newsletter that is sent out monthly to the staff. Include tools the teachers can use to make CCLS compliance a little easier. MailChimp is a great free website to use for professional looking newsletters. If you have less than 2000 subscribers and less than 12,0000 emails per month then it is free. Presenting at Faculty Meetings even if it is a 1 minute website highlight or a new database that can help teachers find primary source documents.
"MailChimp is an email marketing service provider, founded in 2001. It has 3.5 million users that collectively send over 4 billion emails a month through the service." (Wikipedia)
Once you have the newsletter setup it is very quick to just add information when you want to use it. In fact I plan to use this monthly for my own school. I was excited to find it because I had been sporadically sending out information to staff as I came across it. To have a regular information source for staff is important.
A good article on getting to the heart of the Common Core Learning Standards. Barbara Stripling and Diane Ravitch mentioned. Don't be an island onto yourself. Use the resources around you.
Google Shortcuts
Google Shortcuts (PDF)
Google has created lots of shortcuts to help us search more effectively. It has also included a research tool within Google Docs that has me giddy with glee. It can autocite resources using MLA, Chicago, and APA.
Although it is not entirely accurate it is a good first step in trying to help students remember to source. All of the information needed to source the information appears within the document once a cite button is pressed within the Research Window.
Above you will see the PDF I created on some of the shortcuts and helpful hits that I have come across in the past few months. I thought I would share it with everyone.
Searching Do's:
- Do Search by Reading Level
- Do clarify your image search by color, size, type, etc.
- Do Autocite citations and information using the Research Bar in Docs
- Do search by a Translated Language this will give students the opportunity to see other perspectives on a topic
- Do search for an image using an already saved image! (No more forgetting to cite images!)
- Do search Full-text of Books and utilize portions of books you have not purchased
Google Shortcuts:
- Filetype:

Apple vs. Android
So I was reading a blog that did a nice job laying out public opinion on the Apple vs. Android discussion. Should schools get iPads or Android Tablets? Which is the best solution?
One of the big concerns with Apple is the way they are marketing the iPad. Users seems to be looking for a netbook replacement. They want to be able to hook in their peripherals. They want USB, HDMI, & SD Card ports, not to mention the limits of Google Apps on iPads. Android allows users to use Flash and other popular tools. Though with the transition to HTML5, maybe Flash will not be such a big deal in the future.
I do wonder if jumping on the tablet band wagon is necessary….could education wait until the price goes down? Are there cheaper options such as the Nook Color adding Android accessibility options? Companies are rushing to come out with the next solution. Is the first solution the best? Should schools even be buying these things when students can bring them in to school to use on a wireless network? Not all students have these tools…so buy a few instead of for all students. Cellphones are quickly replacing laptops for simple and general computing. Things change every day…I look forward to the next advance with interest.
Another user notes the ease in which Google makes app creation. In the Google App Inventor, users can easily create apps. This is ideal for students. However, Apple caters to education and has a variety of educational apps. Android needs to catch up to be a threat in that field.
To create an iPad, iTouch app there are a few more steps.
"First start by joining Apple's iPad Dev Program ($99). With your membership you will get iPhone SDK with Xcode, interface builder, ipad simulator, sample codes, video guides, forum, and performance analyzer. Download and install the latest version of the iPhone SDK. Note, you will also need a MAC or Mac Mini with the freshest Snow Leopard installed in order to run it. If you cannot afford a MAc. you may try to develop on a Hackintosh PC. Here is a tutorial on building a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard, no hacking required that might help you in your project. There are some great places with tutorials and guides or forums to ask for help from other developers: Apple Dev Forum
What will you choose? Will your choose? Take a look at your needs and reasons and then decide.
HTML & CSS CodeAcademy
Students are always asking me how to code HTML and CSS. In the past there are very few places to send them to go step by step in understanding how it all works. Thankfully this has changed with the recent update to CodeAcademy. CodeAcademy is an interactive site designed to help people understand and create HTML, CSS, and much much more (including
Coding Java).
I am so excited to share this site with my students. Thanks Technology for Teachers for pointing out the update in the site. I can see myself using this site to brush up on some basics and beyond. The lessons in basic HTML really break down the component parts of creation. It is a language unto itself and this allows students to learn by doing. Reading a website giving me HTML tags does not really prompt higher level thinking and experience. I would just have to keep going back to that site rather than retaining the understanding and information internally.
Meograph: Timeline Creator
Timelines are a staple in social studies and ela. They help students keep track of dates and facts. I have been searching for a good online-timeline creator for a while. I have tried Dipity which is good but I find that it is very slow to load and is limited to the number you can create and information mediums. So I searched and searched for an alternative and lo and behold I found Meograph. Not only is it free (YAY!) it can embed videos, text, audio, and uses Google Maps. I was in heaven. I did this with a class and it went smoothly. Well almost smoothly (internet went down once).
As you can see at the left you can add an event, then a when (date), where (location), link (with more information). You can also add a photo, youtube video, and even narration. The narration online is limited to 30 secs. However, you can upload unlimited audio. I used Audacity (remember you need the LAME encoder to save as MP3) and had the students record and publish as a MP3.
A note on location: You must use the current name of the city or town. Therefore if you are talking about Ancient Persia you need to find the modern country.
Quite awhile ago I talked about how I found the livebinders site a bit clunky. Well I must revise my statement because the site has worked very well for several research projects I have been doing. It is so nice to be able to embed websites within one website. This is extremely helpful with databases because no one can ever find the sheet with the passwords. We want students, staff, and parents to access and utilize the resources we sink tons of money into. They are fabulous resources and anything I can do to increase use and accessibility is key.
In terms of how I have been using the product. I have embedded those databases relevant to the research as well as websites I have come across that are relevant to the project. I even embed EasyBib so they can begin thinking about the Bibliography at the beginning of the project. It does not matter what the end product consists of because citing sources is pivotal in my mind and that of the common core. In the following example, the students were researching for a Roaring Twenties Glog. I love Glogster Edu for poster projects because you are not limited by paper. Adding videos and audio are a welcome perk. Not to mention adding document, drawing, and much much more. However, back to Livebinder. I was able to embed my video/audio converter, video resources, audio resources, databases, and well researched websites. The goal of this project was to have students be successful locating information within a bunch of good resources. This is challenging for students.
If you want to create a project based resource for your students, LiveBinders is a great choice. It is flexible for and above all extremely easy to use and create on the fly.
Wii in the Classroom
So, I have been using the Wii in my library for the past 4 days and it has gone well. I must say my favorite games are those which are multiplayer and the students either collaborate or compete against each other.
In Just Dance 2 — I have 4 controllers and students try to copy the hand movements of the on-screen dancer. The person who does this most like the on-screen dancer is the winner. What is really great is that students are not waiting to use a controller. They are just enjoying the dancing, and following the moves without the need to use a controller. This has happened in K-3. Students who are normally quite shy are getting right in the middle and dancing their hearts out!
Mario Cart — this is a wildly popular game
and I was fortunate to be able to borrow this game and 4 wheels. Instruction is simple, and before too long beginners easily surpass older players. Students can work as a group team or have versus matches. Although it is competitive, the students compliment each other and good sports.
Why are there Wiis in the library you ask?
Students read over 80K pages this April and as a result I promised a chocolate party. Well a chocolate party was not enough, so I decided to borrow some Wiis.
What is also great about the Wiis is the students taking on the role of teacher for each other. In some cases, they know the games better than I do and are able to aid their fellow classmates in understanding and being successful at the game. The best part is when a quiet detached student shows another student how to play a game.

Pillow Cascade (No Insert) - 2010
Filter Cartridge - 50 Sq Ft. Anti-Bacterial Male ...
There are cheaper spa covers on the market than Thermo Shield, but we will not sell them.
We'd lose a good customer (you) after a year or two when they failed. Quality does not cost,
it pays, with a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the cover. Thermo Shield's quality makes it
truly the most affordable spa cover on the market.

Tire shredders play a very large role in tire recycling. Usually the first step to converting whole tires into a usable product or landfill material is to shred them. Tires are incredibly durable and resilient to destruction. For this reason, tire shredders tend to have more torque than garbage shredders or wood shredders. The most popular type of tire shredder is called a shear shredder. These are typically slow speed with two shafts of knives. Most of these machines are equipped with built in safeties so that if a foreign object falls into the machine the machine will reverse before serious damage is done to the knives or shafts. Any of these machines may be stationary units that are set in one place and hooked to three phase power or portable machines with engines or generators. Portables are always more expensive than stationary because of the extras needed to make them move and provide power.
Used / Refurbished Shredders "See below" New Raptor Shredders Click Here
We currently have for sale (1) used (IDM) Raptor Model R-163 Shredder powered directly by (2) 200 H.P. or (2) 250 H.P electric motors through a Reggiana gear reducer. The shredder will have an opening of 57" x 66" and will have brand new knives installed. This unit will work great for shredding semi-truck tires at a very high production rate. This is without a doubt one of the highest production machines manufactured in the United States today. And in combination with this high production factor they are also the most user friendly machines to operate and work on in —-> Read the Rest
The MacSaturn 62x40HT shredder is a tried and true option for shredding mostly car and some truck tires. We have rebuilt more of this make and model of shredder than any other in our 18 years in business. The machine will have brand new knives and seals. This machine will be set up with a brand new disc screen classifier and custom built conveyors to make a 2 inch chip. This shredder is hydraulically powered with 200 hp, and will produce 4-5 ton per hour of 2 inch chips. We can also set this machine up as a primary shredder, —-> Read the Rest
SSI has been supplying equipment to the recycling industry for years, and have earned a reputation of building high quality processing equipment. The 1600E is a great example of that reputation. This shredder comes with the control panel and stand and both a top hopper and bottom hopper. This 1600E shredder is powered by a 100 H.P. electric motor. It also comes with a spare set of knives. The chamber opening is 36" x 50" so it can easily handle car tires as well as cardboard, electronic waste, plastics, wood waste and light metals.
This CM Chipper is a great machine for taking preshredded tires and taking them down to a marketable material. We have completely refurbished this machine, including installing new hardened rotors. The rotors are made out of a heat treated 4140 material, rather than the mild steel they are usually built with. We have done this so that when a knife comes off while the machine is in operation and you don't catch it immediately you shouldn't harm your knife seats near as easily. In addition this rotor has a multi-stack rotor design meaning it has 1.9, 1.8, and 1.7 knife —-> Read the Rest
