Doctor's Offices Make Me Cringe
As you may already know, I've had a lot of medical issues lately. My knee has a torn meniscus, my IUD drives me insane, and I have to have surgery on my foot, the same one I've put off for the last 3 years. With my culinary externship coming up in October, I'm on the home stretch for school and I don't wanna miss anything, which means no surgeries of any kind until the beginning of the year. That said, docs offices are rather annoying at times. Here I am at my doc, waiting for my blood results, and that takes 30 minutes. I'm on the clock right now! Maybe they don't want me to freak out if something in the results is off. Fine. But dude, don't make me wait on my work time to get it! Sigh. The whole healthcare thing makes me cringe. Go to the doc, put out a copayment. Get lab work done, more money. The state system may be slow, but you get the results you want for less money generally. Forget it if you need glasses to function; they treat vision and dental care as luxuries, when in fact, if you can't see, you'll be hard pressed when working. Bad teeth? Talk about pain and digestive issues. They all compound on each other.
I just wanna get back to work… I have so much to do. :-/

Don Kenn's Monsters
A friend just turned me onto Don Kenn Gallery, a blog featuring the monster doodles of Danish children's television writer/director John Kenn Mortenson. The imagery is a bit macabre, but has an innocence that adds a bit of fantasy. I like it. I especially like that these are all done on Post-It notes, my own canvas of choice.

Woman jailed and cancer-therapy monkey confiscated after animal accidentally scratches 10-year-old girl's face
- The monkey is a tiny marmoset monkey
- The girl's injuries were very minor - described by doctors as an abrasion
- Connecticut has very strict animal laws after a woman was brutally attacked by a chimpanzee in 2009
A Connecticut woman was arrested - and her pet monkey confiscated - after authorities say the animal scratched the woman's 10-year-old daughter last week.
Mariantonia Morales has been charged with risk of injury to a minor and owning an exotic pet after her pet marmoset monkey, Aladdin, accidentally scratched her daughter Samantha on the face.
Authorities in Waterbury, Connecticut, say the 10-year-old girl was home from school on a snow day last week when she took Aladdin out of his cage to play with him.
Aladdin: According to Connecticut authorities, it is illegal to keep a marmoset monkey like Aladdin as a pet
Therapy: Mariantonia Morales got the monkey to help her recover from a recent cancer diagnosis
The monkey, the girl says, was reaching for a hair clip she was wearing and accidentally scratched her on the forehead.
When Samantha returned to school, someone asked her how she injured her forehead. When she told the injury was from her mother's monkey, the school alerted police and called the state's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to report that a monkey had injured a young girl.
Morales, who says she brought the monkey from her home in South Carolina as she recovered from surgery and complications after being diagnosed with cancer, was forced to turn the monkey over to DEEP officials.
'I felt that I was being bullied,' Morales told NBC. 'I'm worried, and I'm heartbroken because they don't care that he's a part of the family. They just think it's just a monkey. But it's not just a monkey. For me, it's not just a monkey.'
Injury: Morales says that the injury her daughter suffered was an accident that occurred when the monkey was reaching for a hair clip
Connecticut has a troubled history with privately owned monkeys, which has led state lawmakers to outlaw owning primates that weigh more than 50 pounds. According to DEEP, owning marmoset monkeys like Aladdin is prohibited in Connecticut.
Connecticut's monkey laws are the result of the brutal 2009 attack of Charla Nash by a chimpanzee called Travis.
Travis had been on Connecticut authorities' radar since he led officers on a chase through Stamford in 2004.
Five years later, Travis - who belonged to Nash's friend Sandra Herold - attacked Nash, mauling the 55-year-old woman's face and arms.
By the end of the attack - described by hospital officials as 'horrendous' - Nash had lost her hands, nose, eyes, lips, mid-face bone structure, and received significant brain tissue injuries.
Nash has since undergone facial transplant surgery, but the wounds from the attack are still very visible.
Following the attack on Nash, Connecticut has put laws in place prohibiting exotic, in many cases dangerous pets.
'Horrific': Charla Nash suffered horrific injuries in Connecticut after she was attacked by a chimpanzee called Travis
Transplant: After she was attacked, Nash received a full facial transplant, one of the first of its kind at the time
'Working with DEEP, we determined that it's illegal to have that type of animal in the house,' Waterbury Deputy Police Chief Chris Corbett told the station.
Authorities say that regardless of where Morales got the monkey, she is still required to abide by the laws of the state that she is in.
'Based on that, the mother was charged with risk of injury to a minor. One, because she shouldn't have had that animal in the house with the child and two, because she didn't seek medical treatment for the child,' Corbett continued.
However, NBC Connecticut says it has seen documentation from the hospital that lists the girl's injury as an 'abrasion,' not a bite. The station also says it has seen documentation proving that the monkey is currently up-to-date on all of its vaccines.
Travis: 200-pound Travis was shot to death by police officers after his brutal attack on Nash that left her on the verge of death
'I thought in my mind, as a mother, you get a scratch, what do you do?
You put some Bacitracin on it and call it a day. She wasn't bit,' Morales says.
Morales says she hopes the charges against her will be dropped and she will have her beloved monkey returned to her.
'I just want him home. I have a six-month lease here. In May, if this is gonna be an outcome, I'm out, I can't be here,' she said.
It seems unlikely Morales will be successful in her attempts to get Aladdin back - DEEP says the monkey has been taken to a zoo in Bridgeport. If the animal is healthy, he will be placed at another zoo or educational facility.

Why was Mitsubishi's North America CEO in Richfield today?
Mitsubishi Motors North America President and CEO Yoichi Yokozawa expects big things from a new Richfield dealership.
He was in the Twin Cities Monday for the groundbreaking ceremony of Richfield Bloomington Mitsubishi's new 25,200-square-foot facility at 401 W. 77th St., near the intersection of interstates 35W and 494.
"We are very excited about this store because we see great potential for growth," Yokozawa said. "They can easily double or even triple their sales."
The dealership sells about 600 new and used cars per year.
Richfield Bloomington Mitsubishi's owner, Indianapolis-based Tom Wood Automotive Group, is spending $3.5 million to build the new store, which Yokozawa said will be one of the best-looking Mitsubishi facilities in the country. It will be a big improvement over the older building it currently leases at 1750 W. American Blvd. in Bloomington, about a mile and a half away from the new site.
This was Yokozawa's fourth visit to the dealership in the past four months. He also visits the automaker's franchisees in White Bear Lake and Brooklyn Center when he's in town.
"This is one of our biggest metro markets," he said.
Yokozawa plans to return in March for the grand opening of Richfield Bloomington Mitsubishi's new facility and visit the store "frequently," he said.
The new Mitsubishi location is part of a broader $25 million expansion for Tom Wood Automotive Group in Richfield. The company is also building a 107,400-square-foot facility for Richfield Bloomington Honda. That project will begin in February, with completion slated for January 2015.
Minneapolis-based Architectural Alliance designed the new stores, to be built by Columbus, Ohio-based Reiner Construction.

Book Trailer Premiere: wishtree by Katherine Applegate
Hello, Katherine! I'm thrilled you dropped by to share wishtree's book trailer and to finish my sentences. I love wishtree with my whole heart. It is the book the world needs right now.
Katherine Applegate: John, thank you so much for inviting me to join you here today. I'm really thrilled to be able to chat with you about wishtree.
wishtree's book trailer makes me sniffle every time I see it. (Very happy tears.)
Red thinks that humans are awfully tough to figure out.
Charles Santoso's illustrations are simply perfect. There's a spread with all of the animal characters—baby skunks and curious kittens and tiny opossums and more—that readers are going to adore.
wishtree is for newcomers and welcomers. Which means, I like to think, most of us. Maybe even, someday, all of us.
School libraries are non-negotiable. Kinda like air and water and fish sticks in the cafeteria.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me if trees can talk. But I suspect you didn't because you already know the answer: Of course they can.
Look for wishtree on September 26.

Cover Reveal: Breakout by Kate Messner
Hi, Kate Messner! Welcome back to Watch. Connect. Read.! It is always a good day when you drop by to celebrate books and reading. Thank you for sharing Breakout's cover and for finishing my sentences.
Kate Messner: Hi, Mr. Schu! Thanks so much for inviting me to help share the new cover art! Breakout is different from anything I've ever written, so it's exciting (and a little scary!) to know that it'll be out in the world soon.
|Explore Kate's website.
Breakout's cover illustration is from illustrator Christopher Silas Neal, which is such a gift. Chris and I have done several picture books together with Chronicle Books, and I've always admired the art he's done for novels as well. He's the cover artist for Laurie Halse Anderson's Seeds of America Trilogy and so many other books that have caught my eye. I especially love what Chris can do with light and darkness on a book cover, so when my Bloomsbury editor asked if I had any ideas for Breakout's cover art, I asked – okay, begged – for her to reach out to Chris. Happily, he was available and interested!
Chris started the cover illustration process by reading the manuscript and sending Bloomsbury a few concept sketches.
We had some great discussions about these ideas. It's important for a novel's cover to make the right kind of promise about what readers will find inside. Ultimately, we wanted to make sure this one telegraphed that Breakout is a book for older elementary & middle school readers, with mystery, suspense, and also some big ideas to think about Here's one of Chris's early cover concepts, fleshed out.
Editor Mary Kate Castellani and I loved the look of this one but were a little worried about showing the two girls running, even though the book culminates with a race. Would readers get the impression that the girls were the ones who'd broken out of prison? Around the time we were having these conversations, Chris and I were both speaking at the Gaithersburg Book Festival in Maryland. It's not typical for authors and illustrators to collaborate directly on cover art – usually editors and art directors facilitate those conversations – but Chris and I got talking on a shuttle bus back to the hotel from the festival's author-illustrator reception. In that fifteen-minute ride, we tossed around a whole bunch of ideas.
What if there's a helicopter on the cover?
And a search light that illuminates the scene below?
Maybe it lights up Owen's tree fort!
That conversation ultimately led to the final cover, which I really love, because I do think it makes the right promise to readers. This is a story with a lot of tension, where things that are supposed to be familiar and safe, suddenly look different in the glare of a search light.
Breakout tells the story of a small-town prison break. The three main characters are Nora Tucker, whose Dad is the prison superintendent, her best friend Lizzie Bruno, whose grandmother is a civilian worker there, and Elidee Jones, who's just moved to town with her mom to be closer to her brother, who is an inmate. Here's the official jacket description from Bloomsbury:
Nora Tucker is looking forward to summer vacation in Wolf Creek – two months of swimming, popsicles, and brushing up on her journalism skills for the school paper. But when two inmates break out of the town's maximum security prison, everything changes. Doors are locked, helicopters fly over the woods, and police patrol the school grounds. Worst of all, everyone is on edge, and fear brings out the worst in some people Nora's known her whole life. Even if the inmates are caught, she worries that home might never feel the same. Told in letters, poems, text messages, news stories, and comics – a series of documents Nora's collected for the Wolf Creek Community Time Capsule Project – BREAKOUT is a thrilling story that will leave readers thinking about who's really welcome in the places we call home.
I wrote Breakout while a thousand law enforcement officers were scouring the woods and mountains near my house, searching for two convicted murderers who escaped from Clinton Correctional Facility in June of 2015.
I live fourteen miles from the prison, so helicopters circled over practically every night during the 23-day manhunt. Before my careers in teaching and writing, I was a TV news reporter, and whenever something big is going on, I still feel that tug to go see what's happening for myself. So I drove to Dannemora and hung out at the coffee shop and market across from the prison.
For three days, I sat at a table with my coffee and my notebook, and I listened to people's stories. A cashier told me how her son wouldn't sleep in his own room at night. The manager told me they were so busy she'd run out of bottled water and had to call the Pepsi guy to bring more. State police who had come from downstate talked about what they were missing at home, now that they were here, searching our woods. A little boy came in wearing rubber boots with his Halloween firefighter costume and announced that he was going to help. New York City reporters from the Times and the Daily News wondered how we survived up here with such crummy cell service. And inmates' families told me they were scared. They worried that all the inmates would end up suffering because of those two who'd escaped.
Breakout is a fictional story, set in a fictional town, but it was inspired by many of the stories I heard in the coffee shop that week.
On June 5, 2018, I'll be out on book tour, sharing this story with readers, and I couldn't be more excited about that. We're going to talk about how a ripped-from-the-headlines story like this comes together, through research, brainstorming, drafting, and revising. I'm looking forward to showing kids all the different drafts and sharing how I discovered that a novel-in-documents was the way this story wanted to be told. We're going to play around with some writing, too -- telling a story through different points of view. I love the way stories like this can help kids understand how other people's perspectives might be different from their own. My greatest hope is that Breakout is one of those stories that builds empathy and challenges kids to ask questions about privilege and perspective.
Reading is sometimes a great comfort and sometimes the opposite. The most important books in my life fall in both of those categories, I think. Some are dog-eared childhood favorites that always filled me with magic and made me believe that everything would be all right. But some books that have had the biggest impact on me are stories that made me uncomfortable. Those stories pushed me out of my comfort zone, and I think Breakout may fall into that category for many readers, too.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me what I've been reading lately (because I always love to talk about that!) There are some amazing books coming out this school year, and I've had the chance to read some of those a bit early. Tracey Baptiste's RISE OF THE JUMBIES is an amazing sequel to THE JUMBIES. Jumbies are these terrifying creatures from Trinidad's folklore. They're featured in RISE, too, along with a sparkling team of black mermaids. Loree Griffin Burns has a new Scientists in the Field book called LIFE ON SURTSEY: ICELAND'S UPSTART ISLAND, which is my favorite of all of Loree's books so far. And right now I'm halfway through Justina Ireland's YA novel DREAD NATION, which is an alternate history of Post-Reconstruction America where special schools train black and Native girls to fight zombies that rose from the dead at the end of the Civil War. Personally, I think this is the alternative history HBO should be doing instead of Confederacy. It's an incredible page-turner and I think it'll be a powerful conversation starter in classrooms, too.

Book Trailer Premiere: Starring Carmen! by Anika Denise and Lorena Alvarez Gómez
Please welcome Anika Denise to Watch. Connect. Read.! She dropped by to chat about Starring Carmen's book trailer, Lorena Alvarez Gómez, case covers, and school libraries. I wrote the words in purple, and she wrote the words in black. Thank you, Anika!
|Illustration Credit: Lorena Alvarez Gómez
Lorena Alvarez Gómez's illustrations have so much vibrancy, humor and heart. I love all the colors and textures in Carmen's handmade puppets and sets. They add such richness and whimsy to the spreads. The moments between Carmen and her hermanito, Eduardo, are tender—and funny!
|Illustration Credit: Lorena Alvarez Gómez
Carmen loves to perform. She loves the spotlight. And she loves to be in charge of the show. So much so that she sometimes overshadows her little brother, who just wants to be included. Sharing the stage isn't easy for her—but she gets there. In her Carmen way.
Make sure you look under Starring Carmen's dust jacket because you will see one of my favorite images from the interiors printed there. I gasped audibly in delight when I first peeled back the jacket to see Lorena's stunning full-bleed illustration on the case cover. Abrams kept it a surprise, and I'm so glad they did! It was more fun that way.
School libraries are a haven in a sometimes bumpy sea. Quiet spaces of discovery to get lost—and found. More than ever, they are incubators of empathy, where kids can reach outside themselves and gain a greater understanding of the world.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me if there are more Carmen books planned. Yes! Carmen, book two: Lights, Camera, Carmen! will be out next year. Carmen goes a long way in book one towards learning to share the stage—but in Lights, Camera, Carmen! I'm afraid things get a little dicey when a certain adorable someone steals the show. I won't spoil it by saying how, but she works it out. In her Carmen way.
Borrow Starring Carmen! from your school or public library. Whenever possible, please support independent bookshops.

Book Trailer Premiere: The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City by Jodi Kendall
Hi, Jodi Kendall! Welcome to Watch. Connect. Read. Thank you for dropping by to share the book trailer for The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City. What's your book about?
Jodi Kendall: Thanks for having me! In the tradition of Charlotte's Web, Marley & Me, and Because of Winn-Dixie, The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City is about love, acceptance, and the unconditional bond between a young girl and her pet pig. The main character, 11-year-old Josie Shilling, also faces struggles, both within herself and as a middle child in her big, chaotic, financially strapped family. Both Josie and her pig Hamlet deal with growing pains in their own secret ways.
Please tell us about the ADORABLE pigs featured in the book trailer.
Jodi Kendall: There are actually many different pigs featured in the book trailer. Last summer I filmed two litters at Muscoot Farm, which is located in Westchester County outside New York City. I spent a lot of time in that barn revising The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City. Most recently, two piglets from a New Jersey breeder came to my NYC apartment to film the scenes between Josie and Hamlet. The piglets were only nine weeks old, and it was so much fun to interact with them! Madeline Lucy Wilkins, who plays Josie in the book trailer, did an amazing job too.
You actually created two book trailers. How did you decide which one to premiere here today?
Jodi Kendall: After sharing them with my editor, agent, and family, I still couldn't decide which book trailer I liked better, so I went straight to the experts – young readers. I had Skype Classroom visits with 150 fourth and fifth grade students in 3 different states (CT, OH, and SC) and tallied up their votes. It was a close race! I call the winning trailer the one-minute "Teaser Trailer" and the other, longer version the "Director's Cut." I can't wait to share the winning trailer with all of you today!
How will you celebrate The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City's book birthday on October 3?
Jodi Kendall: In the morning, I'm visiting my local bookstores in New York City and signing stock (and I'll probably cry when I see my book on shelves for the first time). In the afternoon, two piglets are coming over for a fun piggy party with my family and close friends. You can follow #TheUnlikelyStoryofaPigintheCity hashtag on social media to see all the adorable photos and videos we'll be sharing online! Afterwards, I'm swinging by a friend's book launch party downtown (Karina Yan Glaser, her debut novel publishes on the same day) and then I plan to just relax and enjoy a nice vegan dinner out with my husband to celebrate. The official launch party for The Unlikely Story of a Pig in the City is on Saturday, October 7th, 2pm, at the Books of Wonder Uptown location in NYC. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Please finish these sentence starters:
Josie Shilling thinks about everything, all the time. She's a constant worrier – like me – and that can be really difficult for her as she struggles with growing pains, being a middle child in a big, financially strapped family, nailing her new gymnastics routines, and saving Hamlet the pig's life.
School libraries were a wonderful sanctuary for me as a kid. I loved having the independence to choose what I wanted to read or ask for recommendations from the friendly librarian if I wasn't sure exactly what I was looking for. I loved the smell of the books, the sound of pages turning, the worlds I could escape into. School libraries continue to be the heartbeat of the school, allowing all students a safe place where they can investigate, listen, imagine, belong, question, learn, discover, and grow by reading all different kinds of incredible stories.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me how I spent my summer! I love being with animals whenever I get the chance, and during the month of July I spent a lot of time at Rockville Alpaca Farm near Richmond. As a freelance writer I've had my share of animal adventures, but taking care of alpacas was a first for me. I mucked pastures, fed them grain, hosed down wheel barrels, observed a veterinarian administer vaccinations, took lots of photos and videos, and helped transport 136 hay bales from a nearby feed barn to the alpaca farm (this was about a year's supply of hay for the animals). My family was able to help out too, which was a really neat experience. My five-year old son especially loved feeding them hay! Alpacas are naturally curious, peaceful, gentle creatures that make a variety of interesting sounds when they communicate with each other. It was so much fun spending time with them. One day I'd love for my family to live on a big farm with all kinds of animals.

In this delightful middle grade debut, a little pig in a big city leads to lots of trouble.
Josie Shilling's family is too big, their cramped city house is too small, and she feels like no one's ever on her side.
Then on Thanksgiving Day her older brother, Tom, brings home a tiny pink piglet he rescued from a farm outside the city. Her name is Hamlet. The minute Josie holds Hamlet she feels an instant connection.

Book Trailer Premiere: Ahimsa by Supriya Kelkar
Hello, Supriya Kelkar! I am THRILLED you dropped by Watch. Connect. Read. to finish my sentences and reveal Ahimsa's book trailer.
Supriya Kelkar: Thank you so much, Mr. Schu! I am a big fan of Watch. Connect. Read. and am excited to be here!
Ahimsa's book trailer was a lot of fun to make. I used old Indian wedding invitations to make the collages, and I love how the different textures and designs compliment each other. One of my favorite transitions in the trailer is when Anjali on the spinning wheel fades into another image. That is the pre-independence version of India's flag, which had the spinning wheel made famous by Gandhi on it.
Ahimsa tells the story of a ten-year-old girl named Anjali in British-controlled India in 1942. When Mahatma Gandhi asks each family to give one member to the nonviolent freedom movement, Anjali is devastated to think of her father risking his life for the freedom struggle. But it turns out he isn't the one joining. Her mother is. And when Anjali's mother is imprisoned for her participation in the movement, Anjali must step out of her comfort zone to take over her mother's work, ensuring their little part in the independence movement is completed.
|Click here to read the full story.
Mahatma Gandhi started a revolution with ahimsa (nonviolence) and civil disobedience. He showed the world there was another way to fight for what was right, without weapons. He inspired millions and thanks to him and the countless others in the movement, India eventually gained its independence in 1947. My great-grandmother was a freedom fighter who went to prison for her work in Gandhi's nonviolent movement. She worked with Gandhi, and there are several letters that were exchanged between the two of them. (Readers can check out my Instagram to see one of them!) Although Mahatma Gandhi is often portrayed as a saint, he did have his faults, and not every Indian was pleased with Gandhi. Ahimsa covers some of the many views on Mahatma Gandhi.
School libraries are windows to the world. They are a place for children to experience other cultures, see things from another person's perspective, and learn to think critically. But most importantly, I think the knowledge school libraries provide enables children to become empathetic adults, and the world needs more empathy.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me what the greatest birthday gift I've ever received was. It was books of course! My aunt and uncle gave me a membership to a book of the month club throughout elementary school. Every month, I'd tear open a package to find three amazing books. I still have every single one of those books and love getting to experience them through my children's eyes all over again.
Look for Ahimsa on October 2, 2017.

Book Trailer Premiere: Swing It, Sunny by Jennifer L. Holm & Matthew Holm
I am so excited to celebrate the book trailer for Swing It, Sunny with brother-and-sister team Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. Thank you, Jennifer and Matthew! I love your latest graphic novel and book trailer!
When Sunny Side Up was first published, we didn't know what to expect. The elevator pitch wasn't exactly Hollywood-esque: this is a quiet graphic novel about a girl who spends the summer of 1976 at her grandfather's retirement community in Florida. But we were blown away by its wonderful reception. We heard from so many fans who loved our girl Sunny. And they were desperate to know what happened after Sunny Side Up. So, it was a labor of love to continue our story.
Creating Swing It, Sunny was a chance to hang out with old friends like Deb and Gramps and make new friends like Neela. The 1970s was a big time for television so it seemed like a fun way to fashion this book as the tv version of her life – "The Sunny Show." We loved including some of our favorite shows like General Hospital and the Six Million Dollar Man. Most of all, it was important to find out what happened with Sunny's older brother Dale. We tried to be honest about the situation, but also wanted to show some hope. And, of course, Jenni was a twirler so she loved having Sunny learn how to use swing flags.
We hope you enjoy swinging it with Sunny in Swing It, Sunny.
Look for Swing It, Sunny on September 12.

Book Trailer Premiere: Hamsters Don't Fight Fires by Andrew Root; illustrated by Jessica Olien
Happy Thursday! I hope you're having a terrific day. Please welcome debut picture book author Andrew Root to Watch. Connect. Read. He dropped by to chat with me about Hugo, Jessica Olien, school libraries, and reading. I wrote the words in purple, and he wrote the words in black. Many thanks, Andrew!
Jessica Olien's illustrations are awesome! As an author with a serious skill deficit when it comes to drawing/art I am constantly amazed at illustrators in general. Jessica's ability to create a fantastic and engaging world from the jumble of words that I put down on paper was incredible. She captured Hugo's spirit perfectly and I love seeing the little extras that she puts into each illustration. She is a magician with a pen! Can't wait to work with her again.
Reading is magical! I am fortunate enough to have been able to take my personal literacy for granted (thanks Mom, Dad, teachers, & librarians!). However, in working with my own children and hundreds of other kids across the developmental spectrum, I know that reading doesn't always come easy. But nothing is better then seeing the look on a child's face when they finish their first book on their own. That sense of accomplishment is unparalleled.
Picture books are for everyone! From the serious to the absurd, what other medium can be enjoyed universally by children and adults alike? Picture books educate, entertain, and support in the most accessible way possible.
|Explore Andrew's website.
Mr. Schu, you should have asked me if Scarlett the snake will ever make it to outer space! Everybody wants to know. I was just speaking with her the other day and she sure has a story to tell. I'll see if I can't get her to share it with you another time.
Look for Hamsters Don't Fight Fires on September 12, 2017.

Guest Post: Three Promises by Ann Marie Stephens and Kwame Alexander
It's Back to School time (cue celebratory music from the school supply commercials.) This declaration evokes a mixed bag of feelings for teachers. Upon realizing that we are just days away from our return many of us go through stages.
Denial: Noooooooooo!
Bargaining: I promise to be good. Just give me a few more days.
Acceptance: School starts tomorrow. I can't wait to meet my new class!
As an elementary teacher, I've thought about this phenomenon for years and why it consistently occurs. I think it's probably because of the Less and More Theory (something I totally made up.) "Back to school" means less time for our families, less time to eat lunch, less time to use the bathroom, less space for personal thoughts, and less sleep. It means more paperwork, more stress, more emails, more meetings, and more problems to solve. Sound familiar?
Kwame and I talk A LOT about the teacher perspective, about the difficulty we have balancing the indisputable negatives with the undeniable positives. But we believe that changing your mindset can bring on a total transformation. Look how we applied this thought to the Less and More Theory.
"Back to school" means less couch potato time (not healthy!), less time spent on house chores (see how we tweaked that?), less worries about our hungry students being hungry all summer, less kids being bored or ignored at home, and less time wasted on cell phones and video games. It means more opportunities to help kids, more smiles and hugs, more chances to make an impact on the world, more books to share, and more stories to be written. Adopting a new perspective is simply beautiful. So how do you maintain this shift in attitude if those around you haven't shifted too? Here's how: You start a revolution, the biggest educational transformation ever! Or as Kwame and I were thinking, you can use this fun hashtag, #3Promises. What does it mean?
It means amidst the chaos that is school, you take a few minutes for yourself to make Three Promises. The First Promise is One Goal. Ask yourself, "What do I want to accomplish this year?" Make it nonnegotiable no matter what obstacles you face. Maybe you want to keep your classroom better organized. Or perhaps you want to expose your students to poetry or more diverse books. Make your one goal perfect for you. Write it down. Share it. Live it. It's yours.
The Second Promise is One Belief. A phrase, quote, or mantra that inspires you, motivates you, and reminds you of what is important. Mine is, "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world." Kwame's belief is "Never let anyone lower your goals. Always shoot for the sun, and you will shine." Borrow ours or discover your own. Hang it up. Turn it into art. Encourage your students to find their own. Make a wall of inspirational beliefs.
The Third Promise is One Book. I'm reading WHAT GREAT TEACHERS DO DIFFERENTLY: 17 THINGS THAT MATTER MOST by Todd Whitaker. Or it could be a book for your class, a YA novel (Kwame recommends Solo. I knew that was coming!), or even a picture book with an unforgettable message. Choose a book that challenges or changes you and your students. You will read dozens of books this year, maybe even hundreds. This one is different. It's deliberate. It's a promise.
Please share your #3Promises with us on social media. One Goal, One Belief, One Book. That's pretty powerful. Remember that revolution we mentioned? It's time people. It's Back to School time!
Ann Marie Stephens is the author of the picture books Scuba Dog and Cy Makes a Friend, and the forthcoming titles Arithmechicks Add Up and Arithmechicks Take Away. She has been an elementary teacher for over 26 years. She was a contributor for Kwame Alexander's Page-to-Stage Writing Workshop, a co-writer for Trait Crate Plus for grades 3 and 5, and has had dozens of original ideas published in Instructor and The Mailbox magazines. She also keeps a blog for teachers at http://2happyteachers.blogspot.com
Kwame Alexander is a poet, educator, and the New York Times Bestselling author of 24 books, including THE CROSSOVER, which received the 2015 John Newbery Medal for the Most Distinguished Contribution to American literature for Children, the Coretta Scott King Author Award Honor, The NCTE Charlotte Huck Honor, the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award, and the Paterson Poetry Prize. Kwame writes for children of all ages. Some of his other works include THE PLAYBOOK: 52 RULES TO HELP YOU AIM, SHOOT, AND SCORE IN THIS GAME OF LIFE; the picture books, ANIMAL ARK, OUT OF WONDER and SURF'S UP; and novels BOOKED, HE SAID SHE SAID, and SOLO.

Book Trailer Premiere: No Kimchi for Me! by Aram Kim
Hi, Aram Kim! Thank you for visiting Watch. Connect. Read. to finish my sentences and share the book trailer for No Kimchi For Me!
Aram Kim: Hi, Mr. Schu! Thank you so much for having me over at Watch. Connect. Read. to debut the book trailer and share my stories. I am very excited!
And I am very excited you're here. I have been craving kimchi ever since I watched the book trailer. :)
The book trailer for No Kimchi for Me is made by my good friend author/illustrator Mika Song (Tea with Oliver, 2017). She's not only a great author and amazing illustrator, but also a very talented animator. When she so kindly offered to make me a trailer, I jumped on the chance! I went to her home studio, bugged her little one Valerie, and planned what the trailer would look like. When I say "planned," it was basically Mika suggesting ideas and me jumping around excited and happy. Choosing the music was such a fun process, too, because I got to hear lots of jolly music and imagined how it would fit into the trailer. When Mika sent me the final trailer, I played over and over and over.

I created the illustrations using pastel, color pencils, and pencils, and a stencil technique for crisp edges. In the end, I scanned everything into Photoshop and digitally colored. My favorite part of the process was running to the print shop to print every page in colors and making them into a dummy book. That way, I could see more clearly what was missing, what was too much, and what needed to be done. I did this about three times during the final art process. Last winter when I was working on this book, one time I had to walk 20 minutes in very slushy snow to get to the print shop. I was very grumpy walking in snow and in cold, but when I printed all the pages, I was excited and joyous!

I think kimchi tastes so yummy! But it certainly is an acquired taste. I didn't like kimchi until I was about 12-years-old. But then, all of a sudden, I started liking it! After moving to New York from South Korea in 2006, for many years, when I had posted on craigslist to look for a roommate, I always said "there will be a kimchi jar in the fridge,"- a fair warning that it can be stinky if you are not used to it. My favorite food in the world is my mom's kimchi stew. It is just so good! Whenever I go back to South Korea to visit my family, my mom asks me what I want to eat, and my answer is always the same: "Kimchi stew, please!" Okay, writing this makes my mouth water.
Cat on the Bus is very dear to me because it is my debut picture book. It was published by Holiday House last year. I saw a blurry photo of a stray cat who was sitting on the bus seat a few years ago online. It turned out the bus driver let the cat on the bus because it was too cold outside. The kindness and willingness of the driver and the passengers who were happy to share a bit of warmth with the street cat touched my heart. Later, I turned it into a picture book Cat on the Bus. I modeled the main character after my old cat Horang. Horang herself was from the shelter and her paper said she had a big scar on the arm when found. I often imagined what kind of life she must have led on the street. Sadly, Horang died of cancer while I was working on the final art of Cat on the Bus. It was devastating, but I got comforted greatly by drawing her over and over for the book. The book was dedicated to my family and Horang.

Picture books are magical! Though a picture book only has 32 pages, there is so much in it, it is truly magical. Whenever I encounter a good picture book, I am amazed and fascinated by how masterfully the book is done when it looks so simple. Picture books have the amazing universality shown through specificity, -only possible because they have pictures children can read into. Last May, I was participating in Highlights Foundation's workshop where they took us to present to children in a small town in Pennsylvania. I presented No Kimchi for Me! to a class of 2nd graders. No one had ever heard of kimchi, or the country South Korea. But while I told them my story and read the book together, they were totally engaged and absorbed. They resonated with characters even when they didn't know what kimchi was. After the story time, a little boy said, "Now I love kimchi!" (Though he might change his mind if he actually tried kimchi.) The power of picture books!

School libraries and librarians rule! Since I'm not in school anymore, I go to my neighborhood public libraries, but school libraries were always my favorite places while I was in school. In college, I worked at the school library and it has been by far, my favorite job ever (except being an author/illustrator of picture books). I went in for the interview, and the librarian asked me why I wanted to work at the library. I answered honestly, "I love being surrounded by books," but thought my answer was silly. I thought I needed to give more professional, sophisticated answer. But then the librarian said, "good enough," and I was hired.
When I go to school visits, I love taking a peek at the school libraries. I am always amazed by how many thoughts and efforts go into organizing the books so that children can be exposed to all these wonderful books as much as possible and as effectively as possible. School librarians are probably the most passionate and supportive group of people who exist on earth. I love talking with them about what children like, what they need, and what they react to.

Mr. Schu, you should have asked me what my passion is. My passion of course is picture books, but especially contributing to the diversity in picture books and its community. There have been great movements and campaigns to represent the diverse readers in the books, and to encourage diverse creators including authors, illustrators, and staffs in publishing industries. Yet, there is a very long way to go, and I want to be a part of this great journey. Living in New York, especially in Queens where it is reportedly said that hundreds of languages are spoken, certainly helped me develop a natural instinct to show a diversity in my works. I was very happy and honored when Multicultural Children's Book Day committee contacted me this summer for its 2018 poster. I want our children to see themselves and others in the books. I want my books to be a mirror and a window for young readers. I really think children's books can make the world a better place. When the good stories children like to read show diversity, empathy, inclusion and tolerance, children will take them all in.

Project Overview
Kodal is the 100% owner of the 360.6km2 Korhogo concession located in north central Cote d'Ivoire, approximately 250km north of the capital city Yamoussoukro. The concession was granted on 8 January 2014 for a three-year term, with additional three year renewals available.
The exploration completed at Korhogo to date is at a very early stage, with no previous modern exploration completed prior to the grant of the concession. Initial surface geochemical sampling had been completed by Taruga Gold Limited (ASX:TAR), and this surface geochemical sampling programme was designed to test multiple targets and assess priority areas on a very wide-spaced 1km x 200m reconnaissance grid. This surface sampling has consisted of conventional surface sampling, with a 2kg sample collected from approximately 50cm below surface and a series of termite mound samples. A total of 644 samples have been collected and analysed at SGS Laboratories, Bamako by Fire Assay for gold only. The total geochemical sampling for the concession is 933 samples with a range of assay results from below detection to a maximum of 92ppb Au.

USD/JPY is expected to trade with a bullish bias. The pair managed to hold the upside and reached 106.33 this morning. While it is currently off that high, it is seeking support from the 50-period (30-minute chart) moving average. In fact, the 20-period moving average remains above the 50-period one, helping to maintain the bullish bias. If the pair succeeds in breaking above the high seen this morning, it could proceed further to the first upside target at 107.00 (a level above that, seen just before the Brexit vote in June).
Market Commentary :
On Monday, US stock indexes ended with modest gains through a session marked by low volumes and tight trading ranges, led by technology and commodities shares. Investors were also encouraged by the Bank of America's better-than-expected quarterly earnings.
Posting its seventh straight day of gains, the Dow Jones Industrial Average settled 16 points higher at 18533, its fifth record closing level in a row. The S&P 500 climbed 0.2% to 2166, another record high, and the Nasdaq Composite was up 0.5% to 5055.
European stocks stabilized, with the STOXX Europe 600 rising 0.2%. Germany's DAX was broadly flat, while the UK's FTSE 100 added another 0.4%.
The benchmark US 10-year Treasury yield declined to 1.581% from 1.597% Friday. Gold lost 0.7% to settle at $1328 an ounce, and silver fell 0.9% to $20.02 an ounce (day-low at $19.69). Meanwhile, Nymex crude oil dropped 1.6% to $45.24 a barrel.
On the forex front, the New Zealand dollar plunged 1.3% to 0.7023 against the US dollar (previous close: 0.7113) this morning after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand announced tightened loan rules to curb speculation in the housing market, which investors viewed as a move to pave the way for another interest rate cut next month.
AUD/USD was down 0.7% to 0.7534 this morning (previous close: 0.7590).
Overnight USD/JPY rebounded 1.3% to 106.15, EUR/USD rebounded 0.3% to 1.1071, and GBP/USD was up 0.5% to 1.3255.
The pair is trading above its pivot point. It is likely to trade in a wider range as long as it remains above its pivot point. Therefore, long positions are recommended with the first target at 106.30 and the second one, at 107.00. In the alternative scenario, short positions are recommended with the first target at 104.60 if the price moves below its pivot points. A break of this target is likely to push the pair further downwards, and one may expect the second target at 103.90. The pivot point is at 105.25.
Resistance levels: 106.30, 107.00, 107.45
Support levels: 104.60, 103.90, 103

text: ANTIHOOK V2.5 Publié le 9 juillet 2005 par Kareldjag Aka Michel ANTIHOOK V 2.5 AntiHook V2.5 This update only concerns changed results: others ones remain the same. ***Registry test: -with Regtest 1: AntiHook is the winner. -with Scoundrel Simulator: AntiHook detects the startup entry in the registry but failed against this test (1/5 only). ***Memory manipulation test: -with UH: AntiHook is the winner: can prevent its own process from memory writing. NB. AH can detect the same attack against another process but can't prevent it. AntiHook is the winner against Memory manipulation test. ***Service/driver manipulation: -service installation: AntiHook is the winner. -unloading a driver: AntiHook is the winner. AntiHook is the winner against driver/service manipulation. COMMENTS: After the test of AntiHook V2, Ivo Ivanov has send me an email where it was said that AntiHook will be improved in 2 months. Taking into consideration users/consumers opinions is always appreciated. In this case, so interesting improvements in a short period is really a great work: -the self protection is more effective (memory writing protection), -the registry feature is new and if AntiHook is not a specialized registry product, the monitored keys (run for instance) are quite enough to detect unauthorized malwares, -the ability to detect kernel device-driver is really interesting against some advanced malwares (rootkits), -alerts are more much more precise regarding the kind of attack, -alerts graphic interface is also much more nice (colors), -minor driver incompatibilities with others products (ProcessgGuard, System Safety Monitor etc) has been fixed: AnitiHook is currently highly compatible with any other security soft, -antihooking features remain always very effective (integrated in a kernel low level with hooked modules): AntiHook is an interesting product for computers which can be used by trused and untrusted people (family PC, internet cafes etc). Free softs which provide a high security level are rare, and AntiHook (with PrevX home/System Safety Monitor/AbtrusionProtector) is one of the most efficient. RATING: 8/10

Editor's Note: Author Tad Davies is a 28-year veteran of the data center industry and a member of AFCOM's Data Center Institute. Currently, Tad leads Bick's Consulting Services business unit based in St. Louis, MO. He will be presenting "Data Center Construction 101 for IT People Only" along with DCI co-board member Bill Doty on Monday, April 3 from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Data Center World Global - 2017 in Los Angeles. Register today! This previously published AFCOM article is just a sample of his expertise.
By Tad Davies
There are innumerable writings addressing data center build vs. buy. Unfortunately, service providers with an agenda are producing most of them. Here is some straight talk based upon strategy work with hundreds of data center owners.
Time is a commodity that is increasingly less available. If you have been assigned the task of analyzing the merits of build vs. buy, most likely you have not been given a reprieve of your current responsibilities. Working efficiently will save you dozens to hundreds of hours depending on the size of your project.
Understanding the ecosystem and gaining alignment around requirements is a critical first step. First, let's consider certainties as pertains to this endeavor. I refer to them as Davies' Dictums.
Everything is Situational
Every organization has different priorities and they change over time as a function of various aspects including board/executive concerns, business focus, and competitive conditions. Organizations have different opinions and financial thresholds involving Capex and Opex. So it is logical that no one solution is best.
Things change on the supplier side as well. Space availability changes as contracts are signed and lapse.
Think of purchasing colo space somewhat like airline seats. The rate that you expected or were quoted months ago may not be valid, which is certainly understandable. Many providers are offering a wider variety of services, blurring the lines between colo, managed services, and cloud. On top of this, providers are buying others or re-aligning their portfolios.
Building vs. buying is ultimately a matter of understanding your business priorities and assessing the market's current offerings. After the facts are defined, you can make a decision about which course is best for your organization. To illustrate, here is a point/counterpoint view of building versus buying:
"Building my own data center is the best option"
Install custom solution options I want
Size infrastructure according to my needs
We have capex to invest
I can manage my own facility
My costs will be less than theirs
I have operations and technical staff
You likely can't afford all the a 3rd party can. Most 3rd party DC's have more robust infrastructure
You will have to significantly "over-buy" facility infrastructure. Can't go back to the board in 3 - 5 years asking for another capex infusion
Are there better uses? Plant, equipment, IT infrastructure?
Operational procedures in most 3rd party DCs are excellent. Their business model depends on it
Sometimes not all costs are included in your analysis. e.g. real estate, maintenance, licensing, communications, taxes, etc.
3rd party may have more proficiency and technical expertise that you can "rent" to augment your staff or provide staff redundancy. Let's say your SharePoint person leaves.
"Colo/managed services is the best option"
Colo has better infrastructure
It will increase availability
Provide capacity increases as needed
Avoid major capex event
Enable organization to focus on strategic vs. tactical IT
Leverage provider's technical expertise
Leverage operational processes - battled hardened and field tested
Current owned data center infrastructure has a proven track record and has plenty of "life"
No history of outages at current site
Technology has shrunk IT infrastructure so there is plenty of capacity at the current site
Capex is not a concern but opex is (e.g. universities). Cost of $ is low now
IT is the core function of the business. Tactical experience required
Expertise resides in house and is available now. Besides it's custom
Proven processes and track record already in place
What Matters to Your Organization is What Matters
While this statement seems obvious, I have found many organizations get caught up in the arms race of features/services amongst providers. If the feature set does not impact your organization today, or possibly in the future, then it should neither favor nor detract from your ranking of that service provider. Forget it and move on.
Providers also fall into this trap by blasting out features before discovering what matters to the organization.
Bad News Early is Good News
If something will affect the outcome of your decision making, finding out about it earlier in the process will save you time, frustration, and money. Here are some examples:
This dictum applies to providers as well. While hard to stomach, if you know that a provider(s) is not a fit, best to let them know early. It is unproductive for you and the provider to continue the conversation. I have found retail colos trying to be included in a wholesale colo RFP. Like taking off a Band-Aid, doing it right will hurt at first.
What are You Buying?
Your team will have to be aligned regarding what services you will consider procuring. Are you considering colocation only? Managed services? Cloud? Maybe a combination (hybrid)? Finalizing on a requirement will simplify your criteria.
As you consider how best to meet your needs, you may come to the conclusion that one size does not fit all. You may need to consider various services that require more than one provider. This activity will consequently inform with whom you will eventually solicit RFPs.
What are You Currently Spending?
If you do not know what your organization is spending to support having a data center in-house, how can you make fact-based decisions on the financial merits of a third-party service? Conduct a Total Cost of Ownership analysis and segment your analysis by the services you may consider procuring. Colocation is the most straight forward and should include cost components such as:
Utility - electricity, water, etc.
Building/grounds maintenance
Consumables (annual)
Equipment maintenance
Non-recurring consumables (UPS batteries/fans capacitors
Space - rent
Equipment break/fix
Facilities staff
An analysis comparing a managed services provider to your cost of business becomes more complex. You must determine what specific services you will procure. In addition to the above costs, you might include IT infrastructure and the staff that supports the following functions:
IT infrastructure
OS patching and support
Middleware support
ERP (SAP, Oracle, Infor)
Capacity Management
Support apps (Exchange, SharePoint, etc.)
Disaster recovery
Request that someone from finance participate in this analysis. That person knows how to assemble a business case specific to your organization, where to get the data, and how it should be presented to executives.
The term of your analysis will be a function of your business needs but should typically be 10 years for a colo and two or three, 3-year terms for a managed service provider. You will have to take into account replacement of assets at your data center if any are approaching end of life.
What are Your Capacity Requirements?
You will need to build a multi-year model reflecting how much infrastructure will be required to support your requirements. Typically you will need to provide quantity of racks (or rack equivalent units- REUs) and power consumption per rack. The provider will want to know the maximum power requirement for a rack. Consider providing some level of detail such as a kW value and quantity for server, storage, and communications racks. Assign a growth factor and include a density factor as that will likely increase over time.
Get your SMEs involved in this exercise. They should be held accountable making the model reflect reality. While it is impossible to predict the future, state all of your assumptions to provide an audit trail in the future.
The key thing to remember is that this is a model to enable comparative decision-making. While it must be representative, you can tweak it later. Do not get caught up in analysis paralysis. The model will also apply to the option of building a new data center or expanding an existing one.

Back to default language wrong directions in 2.6.3
Hi! Thanks for your updated plugin.
After migrating from qtranslate, when user change language from default langauge to another language, you can't go back to default language.
http://www.femsmahus.se/ (default language se)
Switch to http://www.femsmahus.se/en/ using the flag in the bottom.
Then you can't switch back to default language http://www.femsmahus.se/
Also the logo in http://www.femsmahus.se/en/ pointing at two directions /en/en/.
It works in former qtranslate:
Any idea?

Ronnie James Tucker (known by his stage name Ro James), born November 19th (year unknown) is an American singer-songwriter. He is best known for his single "Permission", which reached number 37 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. He is signed to ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records and has released Eldorado, his first album under a major label, in 2016.
Throughout his childhood, James would sing regularly, but never in public. He eventually moved to New York where he was influenced by his aunt Rosie Gaines, a former singer for Prince. His love for the album Purple Rain landed him in a studio at the age of 19. His skills as a songwriter began with the song "Portrait", leading up to a credit on the single "Use Me" by R&B singer Miguel after forming a bond with him on MySpace.
James performed in and around New York with artists such as Luke James and Wynter Gordon. In 2013 he released his first EP, a three-part entitled Coke, Jack and Cadillacs. Each part represented important themes in his life – first love, first drink, first car. The EP featured songs that included "A.D.I.D.A.S." and "Pledge Allegiance". It also featured Asher Roth on the song "Lisa".
James signed with ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records in 2015 and subsequently released "Permission", his first single from a major record label, reaching number 37 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. His debut album, Eldorado was released May 27, 2016. It debuted at number 71 on the US Billboard 200 and at number eight on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums.[

CHERRY Ghost's last performance in the self-same walls of the Academy 3 feels like only yesterday. On that occasion he played second fiddle to Polytechnic and, unfortunately for them, saw off a considerable number of the audience when he exited the stage.
His first headline gig 'proper' in Manchester propelled the Bolton protégé into the spotlight by way of a long-since sold-out show, telling of the escalating exposure garnered as debut single Mathematics quietly notched up regional and national airplay.
Now on the Heavenly roster along with fellow Manchester circuiteers Doves, Simon Aldred and his band are teetering on the brink of mainstream breakthrough. The performance reflected this; they played throughout with an incendiary gusto and vigour whilst Aldred's gravelly, expressive vocal cut through the fuggy atmosphere like a knife.
Highlights included a superlative Mountain Bird, Mathematics and a beautiful rendition of forthcoming single People Help The People – which was well received, as something of a fans' favourite.
Although banter between songs is kept to a minimum (by Aldred's own admission, he didn't prepare any anecdotes or witty ripostes) he is a genuine, warm character, and clearly engages his audience. As long as his performance stays on this form, the songs will speak for themselves.
What do you think? Have your say.

June, seeing as you're doing so properly along with your knee, thought I'd put you in for the Nice North Run with my daughter, are you up for it, lol. On the upside, the resort supplied a journey cot, and my enduring memory of that night time is of my 9-month-old baby bouncing in that cot with an enormous grin on her gorgeous face. I used to be told that I was born with a veil, I have been trying to find an understanding of what this is, for nowhere in the bible mentions it. Please when you have information I'll like to listen to extra. The delicate membrane cushions the mind so that she or he is protected from widespread baby falls and risks. I've made loads of playing cards for, baby showers, new arrivals, christening, and birthday cards together with your New Arrivals dies. The infant on the opposite facet of the wall from us cried all night long and I felt so dangerous for the mama.
It is tremendous to obtain and show affection to and from the baby animal, however being human, it's troublesome for us to finally let them go when ready. However it helps to think that, since there was no child from the very begining, they name it a misscairrage and not an abortion. In order that even if the baby does not chew the meals nicely, he ought to be capable of digest the food nicely. Based mostly on information of your web site as well as pictures, the child squirrel seems to be nearing 6 weeks of age. These steps will take you from the beginning of your child hat to the width and circumference it needs to be.
Feeding time will be another demanding event but with low cost baby stuff like bottles, sippy cups and bibs you may be prepared for something. This Christmas tree is yet one more symbol of my therapeutic process… and one other love note from God to remind me that she is ALIVE. You will see that the most recent and greatest-selling baby feeding merchandise of the season, as well as the most well-liked nursery items. I cam up with a plan to offer her five minutes to be up and both dressed or headed to the shower or to get to go run a mile. The anterior fontanel is generally about two inches extensive and might stay to some degree till the newborn is round eighteen months of age.
I requested my pediatrician about Float Child and he mentioned that the Float Baby water program will enable muscular tissues to be used that aren't in any other case exercised earlier than crawling. I was wondering if instructing you child to signal language would truly discourage them from using actual phrases, due to this fact delaying their actual speech. My second son was born 6 hours after arriving at the hospital, and 45 minutes after my water fully broke, it took about 4 pushes.
Right now, i've it heat & in a tank that was going for use for a lizzard; i hate the glass, however it's all i've got. At Dollar Common, you can relaxation assured that we have now discount baby items and products to make shopping simpler. It was not day however wasn't evening and I enetered my best pals house we mentioned our hellos and her son was standing there with a child girl so I went over and said, effectively introduce me then!
