Stone money
Player utilities
Listen to the Story.
Skip to content
On the Pacific Island of Yap, you can't exactly keep change in your pocket when dealing in the local currency. It's stone ? and up to twelve feet across. Its origins go back millennia. The money is still used these days, but not to buy groceries. It's for the bigger things in life ? bestowing honor, asking forgiveness, or begging your daughter's new in-laws to treat her well. The World's Mary Kay Magistad reports from Yap.
MARCO WERMAN: I'm Marco Werman, this is The World. It's off to the South Pacific for today's geo quiz. We're looking for an island that's part of the federated states of Micronesia. There are some 600 islands in the group. The one we're looking for is a major one. It's east of the Philippines and southwest of Guam. The U.S. dollar is used on the island but this place is famous for its stone money. We're talking discs carved from solid stone. They're big, up to 12 feet in diameter in fact and heavy. And you wouldn't use these stones to buy groceries or souvenirs; rather they're used for the bigger things in life like bestowing honor, asking forgiveness or asking your daughter's new in-laws to treat her well. So where in the South Pacific is stone money used? Okay, you don't have to wait for this one. The answer is the island of Yap. That's where The World's Mary Kay Magistad came across this ancient currency.
MARY KAY MAGISTAD: A long time ago in Yap, the legend goes, people were always arguing about trading and doing business and what to accept as a method of payment. A chief had an idea while looking at the full moon. He said we should have something large, round and beautiful like the moon for trading, always there like the moon. Something that doesn't break or wear out or get stolen. So the villagers of Yap set out in their canoes to find that something. Some traveled almost 300 miles to the island of Palau where they found shimmering limestone. They carved discs of it with a hole in the middle to let people carry it on poles, says John Runman, an oral historian at the Yap State Historical Preservation Society.
JOHN RUNMAN: If you look at the raw material of stone money, it really looks like a full moon, the color of full moon and the people went to get their chief the moon but they didn't succeed so they get the next best.
MAGISTAD: He asked for the moon and they gave him stone money.
RUNMAN: Right.
MAGISTAD: But this isn't just any old money he says and not only because it takes twenty strong men to carry each of the heavier pieces.
RUNMAN: Stone money is not used to ask for a wife for instance. Stone money we can give to somebody to build a house. I can give to another family to ask forgiveness or apology for a wrongdoing a member of my family has caused onto the other family.
MAGISTAD: One of John Runman's colleagues offers to take me to a stone money bank. It's in the middle of a forest. There are no bank windows, no tellers, not even a building, just discs of calcite and limestone of various sizes, propped along a stone path leading to a village. I asked Falownug Kenned, also from Yap's Historical Society, if the big pieces of stone money are more valuable.
FALOWNUG KENNED: It depends on the story and how they get it here to the island. If it cost somebody's life to get it here, it is more valuable than these big ones.
MAGISTAD: So the value of Yap's stone money is subjective and bigger isn't necessarily better. The most valuable pieces are the ones with heroic stories attached. Sometimes the pieces are even named after someone, someone who died trying to bring it to the island or someone who did some heroic deed that is retold every time the stone money changes hands. In a culture of just a few thousand people, without a written language, the stories behind the stone money are part of Yap's living history. Stone money is still used in Yap. To find out how, I went in search of a village elder near the stone money bank I had visited. I found 74 year old James Lukan sitting on his wooden porch, bare-chested, a skinny black cat purring in his lap.
JAMES LUKAN: Yeah, I have stone money. I had one given to me when I married my wife and my wife's family gave it to my father and they still have in my wife's village. Yeah, but I know ?
MAGISTAD: That it belongs to you?
LUKAN: Yeah.
MAGISTAD: So it's kind of a gentlemen's agreement. Rather than getting those 20 strong men to lift stone money and carry it from village to village, the owner of a piece of stone money will just tell someone they're giving it to them and why and what the story is behind that particular piece. I asked the village elder, James Lukan, what happens if future generations forget who owns what. He says actually that's already starting to happen.
LUKAN: Yeah, as a matter of fact, like those ones that you saw, we don't know who owns them. It's only a few people that knows it's theirs or their family.
MAGISTAD: It used to be that the story of each piece of stone money and the record of who owned it and why was told and retold in the airy A-frame, bamboo and thatch men's houses where men would gather at night to swap tales and teach new generations ancient traditions. But these days, the men's houses aren't used so much. The younger generation is instead watching TV, listening to hip hop and hanging out in bars like this one. I asked a young guy with an attitude and multiple piercings in his ears what he thinks of stone money, whether it matters to him that it be passed on to him. I wonder how close the tradition is coming to just dying out. Twenty two year old, Brad Gorong sets me straight. He says of course it matters.
BRAD GORONG: ?Cause it's valuable to us. The family that owns stone money, it's very helpful to them. They can use that to make peace.
MAGISTAD: Yap seems peaceful enough these days with its 12,000 people on a tiny set of islands, one foot in modernity and the other rooted in tradition. Perhaps the stone money and the stories and values behind it are part of what helps Yap keep its balance, however precarious, as it absorbs evermore trappings of the modern world. For The World, I'm Mary Kay Magistad, Yap.
WERMAN: You can see some of Mary Kay's photos from Yap and read her reporter's notebook at TheWorld.org.

One wonders why the trade name of a pesticide made it into such a story, but the presence of pathogens in bees should come as no surprise to anyone who has been keeping up to date on bee health. Nearly all beekeepers use a variety of chemical and pesticide treatments on their hive boxes out of sheer necessity. A pantheon of mites, fungi and microbes prey on bees. These pests are predictably developing resistance to the chemical treatments we use to fight them. If the new IVDS results are conclusive and lead to a silver bullet solution, that will be wonderful, but such a simple model of CCD is unlikely to be the real key to saving our prime pollinators. (9)
It is worth noting that, while CCD has been presented to the media as a sudden new problem, these same theories about causative infections have already been presented to explain previous bee die-offs, especially those in the spring of 2005, which were attributed to the now infamous varroa mite, a.k.a. "vampire mite," which began infecting American honey bees in 1987. (31)
About the size of a pinhead, and with eight legs, it feeds on the blood of adult bees like a tick, and even worse, it also eats the bee larvae. Varroa is the bane of beekeepers everywhere except China, where it originated, and the honey bees have local resistance. In a case of sadly ironic timing, Hawaii just reported its first case of varroa a few weeks ago. (26)
LiveScience senior writer, Robert Roy Britt wrote in a May, 2005 story about the mite: "Up to 60 percent of hives in some regions have been wiped out. Entire colonies can collapse within two weeks of being infested. North Carolina fears it is on the verge of an agricultural crisis. No state is immune." (11)
A Science Daily story dated May 18, 2005, and sourced to Penn State, purported to explain why varroa was so bad. Entitled, "Bee Mites Suppress Bee Immunity, Open Door for Viruses and Bacteria," it explained research into levels of 'deformed wing virus,' a mutagenic pathogen that is believed to persist in bee populations because it makes guard bees more aggressive. Bees of a given hive normally carry low levels of this virus, but the Penn State researchers found that virus levels shot sky high during secondary infections if, and only if, the bees also had varroa mites. It should be clear why the varroa mite is on everyone's list of things to examine in the fight against CCD. (12)
Another perspective
Sharon Labchuk is a longtime environmental activist and part-time organic beekeeper from Prince Edward Island. She has twice run for a seat in Ottawa's House of Commons, making strong showings around 5% for Canada's fledgling Green Party. She is also leader of the provincial wing of her party. In a widely circulated email, she wrote:
I'm on an organic beekeeping list of about 1,000 people, mostly Americans, and no one in the organic beekeeping world, including commercial beekeepers, is reporting colony collapse on this list. The problem with the big commercial guys is that they put pesticides in their hives to fumigate for varroa mites, and they feed antibiotics to the bees. They also haul the hives by truck all over the place to make more money with pollination services, which stresses the colonies. (13)
Her email recommends a visit to the Bush Bees Web site at bushfarms.com. Here, Michael Bush felt compelled to put a message to the beekeeping world right on the top page:
Most of us beekeepers are fighting with the Varroa mites. I'm happy to say my biggest problems are things like trying to get nucs through the winter and coming up with hives that won't hurt my back from lifting or better ways to feed the bees.
This change from fighting the mites is mostly because I've gone to natural sized cells. In case you weren't aware, and I wasn't for a long time, the foundation in common usage results in much larger bees than what you would find in a natural hive. I've measured sections of natural worker brood comb that are 4.6mm in diameter. …What most people use for worker brood is foundation that is 5.4mm in diameter. If you translate that into three dimensions instead of one, it produces a bee that is about half as large again as is natural. By letting the bees build natural sized cells, I have virtually eliminated my Varroa and Tracheal mite problems. One cause of this is shorter capping times by one day, and shorter post-capping times by one day. This means less Varroa get into the cells, and less Varroa reproduce in the cells. (14)
Who should be surprised that the major media reports forget to tell us that the dying bees are actually hyper-bred varieties that we coax into a larger than normal body size? It sounds just like the beef industry. And, have we here a solution to the vanishing bee problem? Is it one that the CCD Working Group, or indeed, the scientific world at large, will support? Will media coverage affect government action in dealing with this issue?
These are important questions to ask. It is not an uncommonly held opinion that, although this new pattern of bee colony collapse seems to have struck from out of the blue (which suggests a triggering agent), it is likely that some biological limit in the bees has been crossed. There is no shortage of evidence that we have been fast approaching this limit for some time.
"We've been pushing them too hard," Dr. Peter Kevan, an associate professor of environmental biology at the University of Guelph in Ontario, told the CBC. "And we're starving them out by feeding them artificially and moving them great distances." Given the stress commercial bees are under, Kevan suggests CCD might be caused by parasitic mites, or long cold winters, or long wet springs, or pesticides, or genetically modified crops. Maybe it's all of the above. (24)
This conclusion is not surprising, considering how the practice of beekeeping has been made ultra-efficient in a competitive world run by free market forces. Unlike many crops, honey is not given subsidy protection in the United States despite the huge importance of the bee industry to food production. The FDA has hardly moved at all to protect American producers from "honey pretenders" – products containing little or no honey that are imported and sold with misleading packaging. Rare is the beekeeper that does not need pesticide treatments and other techniques falling under the rubric of 'factory farming.' (15)
You might be justifiably stunned to know how little money is being thrown at this problem. A January 29, 2007 Penn State press release (just before CCD hit the big networks) stated: "The beekeeping industry has been quick to respond to the crisis. The National Honey Board has pledged $13,000 of emergency funding to the CCD working group. Other organizations, such as the Florida State Beekeepers Association, are working with their membership to commit additional funds." A quick look at CostofWar.com will tell you that that $13,000 buys about 4 seconds of war at the going rate. Remember, these same scientists had presented the world with a similar threat level two years ago. Apparently they were ignored. (16)

Soldier Gets Seven-Month Sentence In Iraq Murder Case
Soldier Gets Seven-Month Sentence in Iraq Murder Case A US soldier pleaded guilty to conspiracy to murder and was sentenced to seven months in prison Thursday in the deaths of four Iraqis. The relatively lenient sentence for Spc. Belmor Ramos was part of a deal that will see him testify against others alleged to have been involved. The four unidentified Iraqi men were bound, blindfolded, shot in the head, and dumped in a Baghdad canal, killings prosecutors said were in retribution for casualties in Ramos's unit at the time.0 Comments

Christmas: time to talk turkey
With Christmas just a week away, the more organised among us are starting to plan our festive-season menu. And for many people, that means turkey: so much so, that Roy Morgan Research data shows a distinct, recurring spike in turkey consumption over the December-January period every year.
Between October 2014 and September 2015, 6.2% of Australians 14+ ate turkey in an average seven days. Over the course of this 12-month period, there were discernible peaks and troughs: with January being the biggest turkey-eating month (12.0%) and August being the off-season (3.4%).
As the chart below shows, a similar pattern occurs every year: the proportion of Aussies eating turkey in an average seven days starts rising in December, hitting its peak in January as the nation polishes off its festive-season leftovers, then slows dramatically from February onwards.
Australia's turkey-eating habits, month by month
Source: Roy Morgan Single Source (Aust), October 2010–September 2015 (n=90,938). Base: Australians 14+
Given that January is peak turkey-eating season, we profiled the Australians who reported eating turkey during January 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, and found that they tend to be older, Christian, and born in Australia.
Aussies aged between 50 and 64 years old are noticeably more likely than other age groups to eat turkey in January, with 16.2% of them tucking in to the big bird in any seven-day period during the month. Only the 65+ demographic (14.2%) comes close. Younger Aussies are less likely to eat turkey during the festive season, bottoming out among the 18-24 age bracket (5.3%).
Perhaps surprisingly, a slightly higher proportion of Australian-born Aussies (13.2%) eat turkey during January than Australians born in the UK (11.6%), while people identifying as Presbyterian (15.4%), Anglican (13.9%) and Methodist (14.0%) also come in above-average for seasonal turkey-eating compared with those of other faiths.
Andrew Price, General Manager, Roy Morgan Research, says:
"Along with pudding and prawns, turkey is one of the centrepieces of the classic, traditional Christmas lunch or dinner. Although many Australians choose not to have traditional festive feasts, our data shows quite clearly that many do – and many enjoy the leftovers for some time afterwards. When asked in January this year if they'd eaten turkey in the last seven days, 12% of the population said yes; whereas the overall average for the 12 months to September 2015 is a more modest 6.2%.
"However, like many meats, turkey doesn't come cheap. With the price of a bird costing up to (or upwards of) $50 at the supermarket, it not surprising that people from the wealthier end of the socio-economic spectrum are more likely to be eating turkey at this time of year than less well-off folks. The fact that Australians of Christian faith are more likely than others to opt for turkey around Christmas is also noteworthy, suggesting that their festive celebrations are traditional in more ways than one.
"Turkey brands don't need us to tell them that Christmas is a peak time for turkey eating (and, by association, purchasing) in Australia. However, only Roy Morgan Research Single Source can provide an in-depth understanding of who exactly eats this seasonal meat: their demographics, their attitudes and their consumer behaviour, for starters. Armed with this knowledge, brands can then tailor their communications accordingly, perhaps even encouraging their target market to eat turkey at times other than Christmas."

"sandbox" for playing with new themes?
A neat feature would be to have a not-out-in-front-of-the-entire-world area where it was possible to change things around on a theme, fuss with the coding, and so on. Then, once it was right, make it visible like a regular theme. This would also have the advantage of making it easy to backtrack to a working version after messing things up ;-}
I know I could set up a local server on my computer and supposedly do it that way, but in fact there are differences between the trial versions and the actual "real" server versions.
I don't know enough about programming to know how difficult making such a "sandbox" would be. Conceptually, it seems that it should work to set up some sort of /tmp space for everything until changes are finalized. But I do know enough programming to know that nothing is ever simple if it seems like it should be. So this is just a thought / suggestion.
- The topic '"sandbox" for playing with new themes?' is closed to new replies.

Microcephalus (Microcephaly)
A neurodevelopmental disorder in which the circumference of the head is smaller due to diminished brain growth. Thus, because the brain does not grow properly, the skull does not either. This disorder can be present at birth or contracted later in life. Microcephalus is often caused by a multitude of varying conditions or exposure to harmful substances during fetal development.
2 Types of Microcephalus and Their Causes
- Primary Microcephalus- inherited familial trait with no identifiable cause
- Secondary Microcephalus- various identifiable causes such as, chromosomal anomaly (down syndrome), congenital infections (rubella), metabolic disorders, exposure to radiation, drug and alcohol use by mother, or hypoxic-ischemic encephalophathy (lack of oxygen early in life)
Symptoms and Behaviors
- Short stature or dwarfism
- Facial deformities
- Seizures
- Speech delays
- Mild to significant learning disabilities
- Impaired motor functions
- Difficulty with movement and balance
- Hyperactivity
- Other brain or neurological abnormalities
- High-pitch crying
- Poor feeding
Statistics (Not so fun facts)
Approximately 1 in 40,000 children are born with primary microcephalus, while secondary microcephalus is much more prevalent. It is estimated that secondary microcephalus affects more than 25,000 infants in the U.S. each year, but it is hard to pin point an exact number due to the various causes. Although mental retardation and delayed development are primary symptoms, in 15% of cases the child has normal intelligence. Early intervention can also play a vital role in the child's overall abilities.
Unfortunately there is no cure for microcephalus, but treatment of the disorder can help significantly with any medical, neurological and emotional symptoms presented to the patient. Exact treatment is greatly dependent upon the specific symptoms and severity of the disease. Such treatment includes, but is not limited to, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and psychological counseling. It is also extremely important to focus on boosting nutrition in order to maximize head growth, as well as providing the child with ample opportunities for intellectual stimulation. While there are no medications available to treat the actual disorder, certain symptoms such as seizures and hyperactivity, can be treated with medication. In addition to these treatments, some families choose to take a non-traditional approach to their child's care through things like hydrotherapy, hippo-therapy (horses), holistic medicine, yoga, meditation and craniosacral therapy.
Helpful Technology
Due to the neurological nature of this disability, many children are not able to walk, talk, or eat normally. The use of wheel chairs and feeding tubes are very common among families affected by microcephalus. This particular little girl is Clarie Hartley, she is not able to walk, but is learning to crawl with the help of a physical therapist. Claire also relies on a g-tube as her primary source of nutrition. I highly recommend using the button below to visit the Hartley's blog for additional information about living with microcephalus.

Teaching Strategies
- Awareness of student's IEP
- Constant communication with parents and/or therapists
- Break tasks down into smaller stepsA
- Use manipulatives to enhance understanding
- Create a safe, positive learning environment
- Reduce the amount of instruction in one statement to allow the child time to understand what is being said
- Acknowledge level of achievement
- Allow child to complete tasks and practice skill at own pace
- Provide lock boxes and musical boards to promote finger and wrist movement
- Provide a quiet place with objects for the child to explore independently

Who's The Best?
Our definition of the best: is someone who is caring, smart, loving, someone who is athletic, and determined. Michael Jordan is the best because he is all of these things.
Michael Jordan was born in 1963 in Brooklyn New York. He grew up in Wilmington North Carolina. He enrolled at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1981. In college his team won NCAA division 1 championship in 1982. Michael left college during his junior year and joined the Chicago Bulls. He lead the Chicago Bulls to six national championships, and earned the National Basketball Associations most valuable player 5 times. His dad died in 1993 July 23. He was robbed then killed.
Michael was happy his dad saw his last game so he announced his retirement. In 1994 Jordan joined the White Socks, because baseball was his dads sport. But he came back to the Bulls for a while. Then he announced his second retirement. Once again he came back to basketball, but joined the Washington Wizards basketball team instead of the Chicago Bulls.
He retired for the third and final time. He became one of the greatest basketball shoe salesman with his air Jordan's. To see Michael Jordan's stats go to http://ww+w.nba.com/history/players/jordan_stats.html

Open Mouth, Insert Foot, Part 1
I say the worst things.
When I first started working at my current job, I was walking with two co-workers to get lunch at Baja Fresh. We ran into someone that my co-workers knew but who I'd not yet met. After chatting for a while, one of the friends said:
"Well you're looking very svelte. Have you lost weight?"
"Yes, but not the way you're supposed to."
Here's where my brilliant mouth jumps in. "What? Are you anorexic?"
Without even looking at me, he says, "My wife died two weeks ago."
If any of you wonder why I'm so nice, it's because I have a lifetime of comments like that to make up for.
Let's commiserate. What lame comments have you made? Have you asked a woman if she's pregnant only to find out she's not? Please, only one gaff per person. I've got at least two more feet I stuck in my mouth, at which time you can regale me with more of your stories. 😉

Our Mission
Our country is at a critical crossroads for healthcare: we cannot afford to go further down the road of poor access paid for by high and rising costs, and we won't stand by while Medicare is voucherized, Medicaid is block-granted, the Veterans Administration privatized, and public support for workers' and low-income peoples' healthcare is cut.
The Campaign for Guaranteed Healthcare organizes for the healthcare system Americans deserve and can have: improved Medicare for All that costs less and covers everyone. Join us!

Find an April 8th Action
The Campaign for Guaranteed Healthcare called for a National Day of Action for Improved Medicare for All on Saturday, April 8th, and grassroots organizations across the country are responding!

Call Your Representative!

Email Your Representative
Email your representative and tell them you are OPPOSED to the American Health Care Act, which will cause millions to lose healthcare coverage, and that you SUPPORT improved Medicare for All!

Is the 2014 Ford C-Max a tall wagon, a hatchback, or a van? We'll leave that up to your own eyes (and prejudices), but the reality is that the C-Max pretty much splits the difference between the Prius Liftback and the more family-oriented Prius V wagon if you go by body shape and exterior dimensions.
The other fundamental truth is that it's built on Ford Focus underpinnings, so it's essentially a tall-wagon version of that Ford subcompact—and that's for better or worse, really. The exterior lines are nowhere near as racy as the Focus five-door hatchback, but this car serves a different audience: buyers who want the highest gas mileage and a car whose style says it's a hybrid.
The up side—other than the way it drives, of course—is that it manages to preserves some of the Focus hatchback's down-to-business front end and its pert tail. The down side is that what's in between—to our eyes, at least—can appear a bit bulbous from some angles.
In front, the C-Max gets a version of the large trapezoidal grille that's now used throughout much of the Ford lineup. Otherwise, the stylists have done their best to give it flowing lines, including highlighted wheel arches and a slight haunch over the rear wheel.
We're not sure how successful Ford is in conveying the hybrid part of the message in the design, since the C-Max shape isn't nearly as distinctive and iconic as the ultra-aerodynamic Prius profile. Perhaps in time, observers will link the C-Max shape to "hybrid"--but we're not betting the farm on it.
Inside, however, the C-Max builds on the interior of the Focus, with a rich and stylish dashboard (including colorful, configurable displays) and a number of high-end options; in all, it's a 'premium' look. With modern styling for the dash, soft-touch surfaces, and chrome accents it's undeniably more upscale than the hard-plastic 'flying buttress' interior of the Prius.

Back to Plein Air Painting and Loving it!!
I've been a studio painter for many years now, meaning painting indoors. Now that I have more days to enjoy for the time being, I ventured out with my easel to the great outdoors to do some Plein air painting. If you don't know what that means, En plein air (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ plɛn ɛʁ]) is a French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors.
It's been a few years for me, so I went out with the intent of just having fun and see what came out of it. No challenging myself judgement, thinking or fear. Just total expression and putting down the paint where I see fit. To my surprise, I am actually pleased at what came out of it! I restrained myself from perfecting them and overworking the paintings. My first day, which was yesterday, I painted two and then went back the next day to almost the same location to create a couple more.
Location was "Surfer's Knoll" in Ventura, where I love to go on long beach walks too. This beach is known for it's gusty winds, so oftentimes I was hanging on to my umbrella!
First Day
Second Day
Happily Painting outside again
Before Me
One in the works
Next week, off to Carpinteria, California for some more painting!

My Fondant Sometimes Shreds While Kneading!
Decorating By LaFrolla Updated 29 Mar 2012 , 3:33am by icer101
Hi ladies,
I'm all about marshmallow fondant, usually can make it without issues, but occasionally, like tonight, I encountered a problem with it. I made 3 batches. Two of the three had perfect consistency. The third and last when I kneaded the sugar into it I could tell wouldn't work out. It seems to shred or rip apart while kneading. I tired adding more Cisco, nope. Nuking it for a few seconds, nope. It's like It lost all elasticity.
Thoughts? I don't want it to happen again!
What about adding a drop or two of glycerine, that should help with elasticity. Also it might benefit from a bit of rest, just to let all the moisture absorb and distribute.
some people add little glycerine , some add glucose or white syrup. this is a good site to read. hth

Dual-layered design for maximum protection
The dual-layered heavy duty design protects against drops and scratches, providing fantastic shock absorbency thanks to the internal geometric pattern.
Slim profile preserves the styling of your Nexus 6
The Rearth Ringke MAX heavy duty is a slim hybrid case. The components clip easily onto your phone, covering the back and sides of your Nexus 6, wrapping it in stylish yet heavy duty protection. The Ringke Max case is designed to preserve the slender shape and feel of your Nexus 6 without adding any unnecessary bulk.
All round protection for your Nexus 6
Ringke cases are form fitting and cover the back and vulnerable corners of your phone from damage. The active lift technology also keeps your screen off flat surfaces when placed face down so you can avoid picking up unwanted dirt and scratches.
Active touch technology
Complementing the protective properties of the case is active touch technology. This adds rubberised coating to your buttons making them more comfortable to use, yet more integrated with the case. This also makes them less likely to be pressed accidentally.
Allows access to all ports and features
Designed to allow for your phone to be fully accessible while in the case, the Rearth Ringke MAX case has cut-outs for all of the ports and features. This includes the camera, flash and charging port. This means you won't have to remove the case to use the full capabilities of your Nexus 6.

YouthLink School Program 2017-2018 Registration
Dear Teachers,
If you would like to register the grade 6 classes from you school for our "Forensic Files" and "Street Smart" program please READ and UNDERSTAND the following before registering:
Registration Period:
Please note, registration for the 2017 – 2018 school-year will not be happening in February with the Calgary City Teachers Convention (CCTCA) as it has in years past.
The 2017-2018 school-year registration period opens on Monday, August 28th at 8:30 am and closes on Friday, September 8th at 4 pm. Any registrations that happen outside of this period will have to coordinated through the School Programs Manager.
Registration Website:
During the registration period detailed above can be done on our registration website.
We expect programs to fill up very quickly during this registration period. We strongly encourage teachers to meet with your grade 6 teaching teams and plan in advance of this registration period considering and doing the following:
- Identify who will be the coordinating teacher contact(s) for your school.
- Gather important information like the number of students and classes.
- Discuss preferred dates for your programs in advance of registration day.
- Put reminders into your calendars and phones for the day registration opens and book your program first thing that morning so you can get a spot and hopefully the dates you would like.
- To register online, please visit the registration site well before the opening of registration to ensure you have a teachers account created with a known password.
Eligibility (only Grade 6's and Schools within City Limits):
Despite doubling, almost tripling, our program capacity in our new facility, YouthLink is still striving to meet our mandate of offering our school program to as many grade 6's in the City of Calgary as possible.
We are no longer able to accommodate grade 5's within our school programs that may return the next year. Our program is designed for grade 6's and is now restricted to grade 6's (*with one exception). We understand that some school always have 5/6 multi-age classes who run on a 2-year curriculum cycle. We will make the accommodation in this circumstance and will allow these schools to register only every other year (those still must speak with the School Program Manager).
Our funding is dedicated to Calgary schools and communities within the Calgary city limits. Thus, we can only allow schools within Calgary city limits to participate in our school program.
Waitlist Registration:
We have been receiving outstanding interest and feedback for our program, which is reflected in our program registrations and demand. Unfortunately, we fill up very quickly and accumulate a waitlist each year.
To ensure that our programs are accessible to all Calgary schools, we are implementing strategies like early registration opportunities for schools on the current waitlist before we open general registration on August 28th. Those on this waitlist will be eligible for early registration and will receive individual email communications detailing important information and instructions.
Class Sizes & Student Numbers:
Our programs have a limited capacity.
The maximum number of students allowed per classroom or program booking is 30 students. Any class or program booking that has more than 30 students must be communicated and approved by the School Programs Manager. The absolute maximum of students allowed per classroom or program booking is 33 students.
Multiple Programs/Class Bookings:
Our school programs facility can accommodate 2 classrooms or program bookings per day. If your school has more than 1 class of grade 6's you are able to book up to 2 classes or programs on the same day. If you have more than 2 classes of students (more than 60 students), you programs will have to be booked on multiple days.
Program Costs:
Presently, there is no cost for our programs. However, schools are responsible for coordinating and covering their own bussing or transportation costs. Students are also responsible for bringing their own lunches.
Program Expectations of Teachers:
Coordination and Communication
Coordinating hundreds of school programs and the field trips and all that is required for the experience to go well requires good communication on the part of the teachers, especially if they are acting as the primary contact and coordinator for a teaching team at a school. We assume and expect that teachers will READ ALL emails and forward these communications and important instructions to their colleagues. The School Program Manager also arranges a pre-visit phone call approximately 2 weeks prior to the field trip. Again, we depend on good communication between teachers and YouthLink as well as between teachers and their colleagues supporting or participating in the program.
To ensure the field trip experience goes smoothly, we strongly recommend that teachers, especially those who haven't done the program or field trip before, attend one of the Teacher Orientation Night's planned throughout the school year. This helps teacher understand what's expected of them and parent chaperones, helps orient the teachers with the location of the facility and the spaces within the building and what to expect in the program.
The Pre-Visit Program Lessons & Crime
The "Forensic Files" program is designed to support the delivery of the grade 6 Evidence and Investigation Unit. Participation in our program and attending our field trip requires that teachers deliver a number of lessons and content prior to their field trip. This includes a special crime to facilitate learning in the unit. All program lesson plans and materials are available on our website. Not completing the pre-lessons could impact registration in subsequent years.
Our funding depends on students, teachers and parents chaperones filling out and completing some assessment surveys. Teachers must ensure the pre- and post-visit assessment surveys are completed by their students. Teachers and schools who do not ensure these assessments are completed may see their ability to register in subsequent years affected.
Supervision - Teachers & Parent Chaperones:
Teachers are responsible for the supervision of their students. Teachers can engage volunteer parent chaperones in this supervision, but should not leave the class unattended or leave the facility while on-site.
The recommended ratio for adult to students is 1:10. Classes of approximately 30 students must have a minimum of 3 adults present and supporting during the program.
We expect adult supervisors, including both parents and teachers, to take an active part in the program by help students stay focused on the program and well behaved, but not doing the activities for the students or leading or directing discussions. Please leave the program facilitation to the YouthLink education staff. Teachers and parents are solely responsible for supervising students during the lunch break. Teachers and parents are expected to help manage students and be positive role models by being present, engaged and not spending the day chatting with other adults or being on their cell phones.
If you have any concerns or questions about the program or registration, please contact the School Programs Manager at email@example.com or 403.428.8049.
We look forward to having you and your students participate in the YouthLink School Program!

A number of Minnesota medical technology industry leaders gathered Wednesday at American Medical Systems in Minnetonka. The occasion was a roundtable hosted by U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar and U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen.
It was also an occasion for med tech leaders to do a bit of lobbying. More than 50 member companies of the trade association Lifescience Alley issued a letter urging congressional leaders to repeal the looming medical device excise tax.
The 2.3 percent tax is set to begin in 2013 and will cost the medical device industry an estimated $20 billion – a hit that industry leaders say will dampen innovation and eliminate jobs. The tax is meant to help pay for the 2010 health-care law. The provision taxes gross sales of more than $5 million for manufacturers and importers of medical devices such as cardiac defibrillators and artificial hips.
Signed by companies such as Boston Scientific, Minnetronix, Spineology and Sunshine Heart, the letter said:
"Most of us understand how much medical technology means for quality health care, but the importance of medical technology to the future of the American economy – and the Minnesota economy – is just as important. We are working hard in Minnesota to foster an economic environment in which businesses can grow, thrive and increase employment. This impending tax on medical innovation runs counter to our efforts. We urge you to pass legislation to repeal this devastating medical device excise tax as soon as possible."
Paulsen is sponsoring a bill to repeal the tax, and Klobuchar said Wednesday that she is in favor of repeal.

If you read the title (hopefully you did), then you'll know what this is about. Hi. I'm a 1.1k elo player. I'm really don't like playing AD bot, but I do like to jungle.
It all started a few months ago. I was talking to a (much more experienced) friend about jungling squishy champions. The majority of junglers tend to be at least a little but tanky and the squishiest jungler I had seen was Fiddle. Even then, he has that HP drain. I had tried out jungling Annie and it worked surprisingly well. E acts like Rammus W, you have aoe, aren't too reliant on blue buff as you can last-hit with Q and your stun can make for some pretty strong ganks. After this, he suggested jungle Ashe. It worked quite well. At this point, I thought "are there any more AD carries that can jungle well?" Caitlyn came to mind. And that's how I came to discover this rare gem.
Truth is, I haven't been playing all that long, and only one of my 3 runes pages is finished, and that's my specialist Singed page. I'll outline my current page, but then outline my finished page which is specifically for junglers.
Reds - Flat AD x3, Ar pen x6 (got 6 lvl 1 by accident)
Yellows - Flat armor
Blues - Flat MR (later going to become MR/lvl)
Quints - Flat HP x2 (currently at lvl 1 as they are enough at this current time) and I'm not sure what to get for the last one. I may get AD, AS or Arpen. I have a movespeed I can use for the time being.
I don't run your usual page. I don't like 9/0/21 or anything like that. I've used every variation of that pattern, they're just meh... I run a 1/14/15 setup. This is for all my junglers, not just Cait.
I take 1 point in Summoner's Wrath. It helps out in ganks. Previously, that one point was in Butcher for slightly higher damage in the jungle.
In the defensive tree, I take my first point in Summoner's Resolve for Smite. I get the increased Armor and reduced minion damage. I also get Bladed Armor for the damage return. I put 4 points in Durability allowing me to spend 1 more in Veteran's Scars. My last 2 in this tree go into Indomitable.
As for Utility, I get the one point in Summoner's Insight. I add 3 to Good Hands and 3 more in Expanded Mind. That allows me to spend ONE point in Meditiation. I add one point to Runic Affinity. The rest go to Greed and Wealth, maxing both.
The reasoning behind this page is that I, personally, prefer a safe jungle compared to a faster one. I spend a lot of time jungling champions that aren't designed to go into there at an early point in a game. At the same time, I don't lose any utility bonuses and can even get an extra health pot or two early on if I need to, depending on who I'm jungling as. I find pages like 9/0/21 are too kill-orientated. Those masteries are useless if you don't take action that use them. A more defense/utility based page means you are getting those mastery benefits more often.
Why Caitlyn?
Caitlyn can actually be a strong jungler. The main reason for this is her passive. For those of you who don't know, Caitlyn's passive allows her auto attack to deal additional damage every (n)th attack. The attack counter is doubled in brush. Every one attack ads 2 to the counter, doubling the speed she gains the bonus damage. This is 150% damage to chamoions and 250% to minons and monsters. This can help her clear remarkably quickly. See why now? Take a close look at every single neutral monster camp. Blue and Red buffs can be killed from range while standing in brush right next to the camp. Wolves can be kited to the same brush you kill Blue from. It's right on the edge of leash range, so it takes a little practice. It is possible, though. Wraiths can be kited to the brush nearest to them between the two mid turrets. Once again, this at maximum leash range for the larger wraith and the one furthest from the brush. Double golems have a brush directly opposite. You don't even need to kite, like Blue or Red. All that's left are Baron and Dragon. Sadly, Baron is too far from any brush and can't be kited either. Dragon on the other hand, can. As you go towards mid lane from Dragon, there's a tiny brush. If Cait stands right at the very edge closest to the Dragon spawn camp, you can still kill it without it resetting. As with wolves and wraiths, it is at the edge of leash range. I've done it. You can too.
Enough about her passive. At level 1, you want to put your first point in Q. It's basically an aoe, and we all know aoe helps you clear camps faster. You're gonna NEED Cloth Armor. Get as many health pots as you can too. Due to having no sustain, you'll need them. At every camp, you want to open up with Q, hitting all of the monsters. Then, either kite to brush or use the initial Q from brush, depending on the camp. If kiting, auto attack as you kite, it makes it easier. At level 2, take E. It actually makes kiting a little easier as you damage your target(s) and move to brush at the same time if you line it up right. There's even a little burst combo you can do for kiting camps. Auto attack the camp, line yourself up so that E knocks you towards brush. Use E, immiediately followed up by Q. The fast damage should keep creep aggro. The only problem is that this does use up a lot of mana early. Also, I haven't managed to do it with 100% success. Might be me, or it just doesn't work all the time. I don't really know the answer to that.
As for your build, just go for your typical Caitlyn build! The only difference is you will be getting a fairly early Wriggle's Lantern. Don't worry too much about your damage output. Ideally, there will be another AD carry on your team. Getting Wriggle's Lantern can be more beneficial than you think. It CAN proc at the same time as her passive. The resulting damage can be greater than a Smite regardless of the level Smite is used. Her passive also procs with crit. So, if you're lucky, you can get some incredibly large damage out in a single strike. That's potentially 1500+ damage on an objective monster like Baron*. It totally counteracts any kind of Smite steal the enemy team may be planning.
Even with Wriggle's, your damage output can still be rather high. I carried a game 15/3/9 one of the first time I played jungle Cait. For someone who hates AD carry bot lane like I do, I'll do better in the jungle and be able to carry whereas if I was bot, chances are, I'd lose. Hard.
If I've managed to convince you so far, that's good. For those more experienced players or people who know Cait really well, you are probably worried that her ganks won't be great, right? They're not as good as say, Amumu or Trundle, but they're not bad. Not bad at all. Unless you have Phage/Frozen Mallet (which, being a jungler rather than full AD carry, I reccomend as an item), you are gonna need red buff. But then, who doesn't? The only jungler I can think of who doesn't need red is Fiddle. Oh, and Annie. But that's just me jungling mages again. For ganks, you have a few options. You can Teleport gank into brush to get the immidiate effect from your passive and the element of surprise. I would say this is Caitlyn's best form of gank, alongside lane ganks. If those are a no-go, then that's not much of a problem. You can use E to propel yourself over a wall, or right into the lane if you want. You could just choose to run in the lane if you want. How you enter really depends on enemy positioning. Personally, I would run straight into the lane. Especially if it's been pushed hard to my ally's turret. Once you're seen, the enemy will run. Once you can guess where they're running, E them. Be sure it pushes you back towards the escape route you predict your target will use. If they're going for their turret, give them an E to the face while moving backwards as a result, forcing them to take a couple more of your auto attacks. Once they're slowed, you can predict movement easier. Place a trap from W as close to them as possible, while still being able to proc the stun. 2 seconds ahead is about right. They should hopefully walk over the trap as they have little time to react, they're also slowed, so avoiding it should be harder. From there, it's constant auto attacks, followed by Ignite if you choose to have it.
Obviously, each gank is unique. The positioning you take, and the positioning the enemy takes aren't gonna be exactly like how I described. Using the above passage as a baseline, react to the current situation. I can't really say any more than that regarding ganks.
- That's calculated as Infinity Edge 250% crit dmg, on a crit, while getting the passive and Wriggle's Lantern proc at the same time. You can expect to see over 500 damage in a crit. 250% from the passive will boost that to 1250 ish. Now add the Wriggle's proc. We're looking at possibly 1750 damage. It all depends on stats. This is a very rough estimate. You can get more, you can get less.
A Little Note Regarding Dragon
As I mentioned before, Dragon can be kited. The benefit of kiting Dragon to this brush is more than just the benefit from your passive.
- If your enemies have Clairvoyance, Dragon will be out of CV sight range if they use it in the middle of the camp. If they have no wards (hence, using CV on Dragon) and are not paying acute attention to the minimap icon (which can be expected), then they are likely to simply assume Dragon is down and won't bother to contest it.
- Smite steals often come from behind, near to blue team's red buff camp. It will be out of range for a Smite steal. The only way to try that is to come from wraiths or from either side of red team's blue buff. Or, mid lane would have to come down. However, with the above point, it is less likely to happen if the enemy team doesn't realise you're doing Dragon. Especially if you do it solo.
As some final words, I'd like to say jungle Caitlyn is a viable choice. It's a good way to learn how to play Cait in a basic sense without having to go through all of the difficulty and pressure of bot lane. It's a different take on her and I have a lot more fun playing Caitlyn this way as opposed to any other way. Other than myself, I've never seen a jungle Caitlyn either. It'd be nice to see more. Well, that's me done here. If you've read my previous blog about a different teamcomp, then perhaps you can understand that teamcomp a bit better now if Cait is used jungle. Anyway, on to you guys for the comments.
