Following up the debut of the Ford Mondeo Vignale from last year's Frankfurt auto show, the blue oval has revealed the Ford S-Max Vignale concept in Milan, Italy. With the Vignale sub-brand, Ford is pushing its European models upmarket with unique styling and more luxurious interiors.The Ford S-Max Vignale concept "expresses the premium design, craftsmanship, and exclusive specification customers can expect," according to the automaker. With inspiration from furniture and fashion trends, the S-Max Vignale features dark-chrome trim, chrome mirror caps, dark matte mesh grille with aluminum surround, and 21-inch alloy wheels.An available Milano Grigio exterior color is exclusive for the S-Max Vignale. The unique hue is said to have "a pearlescent jewel-like tone" and "is directly influenced by rose metallic tones evident in furniture and fashion designs." The lower front fascia and hexagonal air intake surrounds and exhaust tips feature Dark Rose Grey details. Inside, a dark interior contrasts with the lighter exterior color. The S-Max Vignale concept features embossed seats with quilted leather and aluminum trim as well as car-to-car communication and tablet docking stations for second-row passengers. That quilted leather also covers the center console. Seat centers feature thick dark red stitching, while lighter thread is used on the sides of the seats.The new Mondeo Vignale and S-Max Vignale models cater to customers who want a more luxurious and tailored vehicle, the automaker says. Those customers also want a unique dealership experience. To meet that need, Ford is installing "Vignale Lounges" at select Ford dealers to give customers a more upscale environment to sample the Vignale models' unique options.Though it's showing off just a concept in Milan, Ford plans to build a production version of the S-Max Vignale, which is slated to go on sale following the Ford Mondeo Vignale's launch next year.Source: Ford Share this article in: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Email Ford S-Max Vignale Concept Revealed in Milan /10 Advertisement to Skip 1 | 10 2 | 10 3 | 10 4 | 10 5 | 10 6 | 10 7 | 10 8 | 10 9 | 10 10 | 10

West Genesee's basketball teams had profoundly different outcomes from its pair of games against Auburn on Friday night.
On the girls side, the Wildcats bounced back from its Dec. 15 defeat to Baldwinsville, taking out the Maroons 51-40, while the WG boys team went on the road and struggled throughout a 71-42 defeat.
In Camillus, the WG girls played the same kind of defense it had shown against B'ville – but put more points on the board, more than doubling Auburn's output in a 24-11 first half.
To its credit, the Maroons roared back within 38-33 when its offense woke up in the third period, but went cold again in the fourth quarter as the Wildcats pulled clear.
Deanna Apps led WG with 12 points. Lexie Myers had seven points, while Emily Tripodi and Carly DiCocco earned six points apiece. Emily Felter and Nicole Schattinger each had 12 points on the Maroons' side.
Over in Auburn, it was a far different tale. WG's boys only had eight points in both the first and third periods, slow starts to the half that allowed Auburn to take quick control.
Unable to build upon its overtime win over Baldwinsville earlier in the week, the Wildcats got outscred in every period, as Nick Wood (15 points) was the only WG player to hit double figures. Colin Monroe and Tyler Carr each had six points. Auburn featured Ronzell Allen getting 19 points and Julian Richardson earning 15 points.
For the boys Wildcats, the next action comes in the Dec. 28-29 Marcellus Tournament.

The first two Daughtry CDs earned the group (fronted by former "American Idol" finalist Chris Daughtry) plenty of comparisons to bands such as 3 Doors Down, Nickelback and Shinedown for their melodic mainstream rock sound.
But the songs fans hear on the albums don't represent the full range of music that Daughtry (as the group's main songwriter) and his bandmates (bassist Josh Paul, guitarists Josh Steely and Brian Craddock and drummer Robin Diaz) will come up with over the course of making a CD. That was particularly true of the group's recently released third CD, "Break The Spell," in which Daughtry and the band tried to create without any thought about trying to sound like any previous song by the band or by any other act on today's music scene.
"There are certainly songs that people don't hear that were written that were so far out there that people would be very confused," Daughtry said in a recent phone interview. "They'd go 'That's Daughtry? I don't know about that.' So there's all kinds of experimentation going on when we're writing, and then there are songs that we know, 'OK, that's us. That's like the quintessential Daughtry song. That's obviously going to work.'"
The songs that made "Break The Spell," obviously, were the ones that stayed in the ballpark of the stylistic blueprint established with the first two Daughtry CDs — a 2006 self-titled album and 2008's "Leave This Town."
Like those albums, "Break The Spell" is defined by its mix of hearty rockers ("Crawling Back To You" and "Louder Than Ever") and full-bodied ballads ("Gone Too Soon" and "Rescue Me").
But as Daughtry explained, that doesn't mean there aren't new wrinkles to the band's sound on "Break The Spell."
The songs "Renegade" and "Outta My Way," in particular, strike Daughtry as something new for his band.
"'Outta My Head' was very much the song I wanted, or the kind of record I wanted to make," he said. "I was listening to a lot of old Aerosmith, and I just wanted something with that four on the floor, kind of riff rock (feel) that we didn't have, and it kind of reminded me a little bit of 'Rag Doll' or something like that when we wrote it. To me, we've never had any songs like that where it kind of has a dance feel to it without being a dance song. That was something I felt like we needed on this record. And 'Renegade' is just something that I think, once again, is something like we've never done before and kind of has a Foo Fighters-meets-Tom Petty vibe."
A more subtle new twist is using loops and other synthetic sonics on the songs "Break The Spell," "Crazy" and "Start Of Something Good."
A nonmusical factor that Daughtry said also contributed to the more adventurous music on "Break The Spell" was becoming father of twins.
"I took a bunch of time off when the twins were born (in November 2010), and completely removed myself from writing music," Daughtry said. "So by the time we got around to it, it was all very fresh and new again. It didn't feel like we were recycling anything we had done."
Becoming the parent of twins, not surprisingly, has been a life-changing, very positive experience for Daughtry. But it also adds a new difficulty to touring.
"Well, they're amazing. They're a lot of work," Daughtry said of twins Adalynn Rose and Noah James. "They're completely different. They're their own people, and it's weird because all the things that frustrate you about them, you start to see it in you and realize they got it honest and maybe they're trying to teach you something. But it's a lot of fun … They're at that stage where they change every day practically. So there's going to be a lot of face time, a lot of iChat going on. I've just got to try to stay connected every way possible."
Connecting is something Daughtry has done well since he got his break by making the 2006 season of "American Idol." He finished fourth, but was signed to RCA Records, which quickly found the connection with fans had carried over after the show.
His self-titled debut and "Leave This Town" both debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard magazine album chart and went on to go platinum. "Break The Spell" failed to match that, opening at No. 7, but it went gold in four weeks, topping 500,000 copies sold, and is now on its third single, "Outta My Head."
Daughtry is hoping to build momentum for the latest CD as he tours behind "Break The Spell."
"We're trying to have a nice balance of the songs that people kind of expect to hear and want to hear and know and love and we'll incorporate a lot of new songs," Daughtry said. "If we had our way, we'd play the whole new album live. That's not going to happen, but we're going to try to do the majority of it, give them the new record in a live setting."

Hey guys, my name is Derek. I just started an account for my photography, which in the last year or so has evolved from a passion to a potential career (on a small scale at first, of course). I only put up a few pictures because I didn't have my previous models' permission to use their photos on the internet. I put a few different types of compositions up to show some variety in style. I'm really excited to do more work with people of different looks and styles and I can't wait to do more fantasy and goth related shoots in particular. I'm completely open to peoples' questions, comments, suggestions, and requests so feel free to visit my page and PM me.
Thanks for taking the time to read my little speech!

Last month I featured an upcoming documentary entitled, Home Unknown. This personal documentary is about filmmaker Stephen Dypiangco's attempts to reconnect with his roots by traveling with his parents to their homeland, the Philippines. Through a series of surprising encounters, he realizes that he knows far less about his quiet father, outspoken mother, and himself than he ever imagined. In this interview Stephen tells us more about his experiences as a Filipino-American and why you should support Home Unknown.
Please tell us who you are.
I'm Stephen Dypiangco. I was born and raised in Montebello, a suburb east of Los Angeles, California. My parents, Oscar and Lucila, emigrated from the Philippines in 1969, ten years before I was born. Originally from the province of Pampanga, my mom spent most of her life as a high school English teacher, both in Metropolitan Manila and in the Los Angeles Unified School district. My dad, who was born in Laguna, was an auditor for the California worker's compensation insurance company. Growing up, my schoolmates were mostly Chinese and Mexican, with just a few Filipinos. Until I went to NYU for graduate film school, my education had exclusively been at Catholic schools (St. Stephen School for elementary, Loyola High School, Georgetown University).
After college I spent a year as a volunteer with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, which had a huge impact on my life. While living in the poverty-stricken city of Camden, NJ, with its share of violence and danger, I worked with a nonprofit organization that promoted the wellbeing of farmworkers. My experiences there opened my eyes to harsh realities I had never fully understood. They also made me appreciate the great lengths to which my parents had gone to provide my three older brothers and me so many opportunities.
Interested in fusing my passion for social justice with the art of filmmaking, I was fortunate enough to gain admittance into NYU's prestigious graduate film program. At NYU, I wrote, directed and produced several short films and worked alongside incredibly talented classmates.
What is Home Unknown?
Home Unknown is a feature-length personal documentary about my family, which I began work on in 2006, during my final year at NYU. After a lengthy conversation with an older cousin, I started to realize how little I knew about our family's history. Since I was born in the U.S., I didn't really know my relatives in the Philippines nor what that country meant to me. Although I had been there a couple of times as a child, I hadn't gone back as an adult.
Since my parents are now retired, they return to their homeland every year around Christmas time. With this in mind, I decided to make a film about going back to the Philippines with them to find out about my relatives and Filipino identity. But when I came back to NY from shooting in the Philippines in early 2007, I got sidetracked. I finished up my NYU coursework, moved back home to LA, got married in Montana, produced a low budget film, directed several music videos, wrote a screenplay, wrote tons of synopses for Netflix and much more.
Last December, I was finally became ready to start editing my documentary and to bring it to completion. Since then, I've been actively trying to connect with other Fil-Ams , hoping to find others like me who might be interested in lending their talents to this project. Momentum is slowly starting to pick up. I can now see my film reaching a much larger audience than I ever expected, which is very exciting. What started out as a project for just my family, and possibly a few film festivals, seems to be growing into something much bigger.
Where can people view Home Unknown?
Although I am still editing the feature-length version of Home Unknown, people can already check out the trailer and various related webisodes through these websites:
My goal is to keep releasing new videos, pictures and updates that relate to the movie's progress, my parents and what it's like to be the child of Filipino immigrants.
What made you decide to go into film?
During my senior year in high school, when all of the cool kids were going to parties and getting in trouble, I spent my weekends checking out movies all across LA. That year I watched The Godfather, The Graduate and other amazing films that opened my eyes to quality cinema.
But it was actually the low budget indie comedy Swingers that made me realize that I wanted to be a filmmaker. It was so funny, and as I watched it, I kept debating whether I should try and watch the very next screening once it was over. That had never happened to me before, and I began to realize I wanted to make movies. In my family history, nobody had worked in the arts, so I didn't know how to move forward in this direction. But every step of the way, both of my parents supported and encouraged me to follow my dreams.
Do you have any advice for Filipinos and Asian-Americans who want to get into filmmaking?
I think filmmaking, like anything else difficult, takes time and practice. With the exception of a few geniuses, like Orson Welles, you really need to just go out and watch movies, write movies and direct movies. That's really the only way you'll learn. You can be doing this out on your own or in film school. Either way, you have to be a self-starter and just do it. Plan a film project with friends, no matter how small, and go shoot it. The stuff I shot with my friends in college was awful, but it was fun and taught me so much. Definitely work with people you like and respect, and together you'll go a long way. I'm sure of that.
What does being Filipino-American mean to you?
Being Filipino-American means conflict, complexity and family all wrapped into one.
I think that being Filipino and being American are two different things. Trying to combine them, can often lead to confrontation, challenges and confusion.
My experience growing up Filipino-American involved my parents' speaking to each other in Tagalog but to me and my brothers in English. So while I always knew that I was Filipino, it wasn't something that we really discussed much at home. Until I hit my late 20's, I just wasn't ready to start caring about being Filipino or the Filipino-American community.
But as I've worked on Home Unknown, I've started to understand new things about being Filipino-American. I think that it has a lot to do with two things — family and community. If you focus on your family, support your community and acknowledge your identity, you're then accepting the best values that define our people.
What do you feel needs to change with Filipinos and how the world views us?
I know that whenever I hear about the Philippines in the news, it is usually about a terrible catastrophe, such as a flood, mud slide, earthquake or crash. Instead of tragedies, I'd like to see the achievements and successes the Philippines has attained through its many outstanding leaders in the arts, sciences, sports and other fields.
I've had several people tell me about Filipinos' crab mentality, but I have yet to experience that personally. All of the Filipinos I've met have been nothing but supportive and encouraging. I hope that this spirit of cooperation continues to grow and spread out all across the globe.
What are your favorite films and are any Filipino movies on that list?
Unfortunately, I've only seen a handful of Filipinos films, and none of them had really stood out in my mind. I know that there is a rich tradition of Filipino films, and I look forward to exploring it further.
Here are some of my all-time favorites: The Godfather, Annie Hall, Stripes, Swingers, The Graduate
Recent Favorites: United 93, The Beat That My Heart Skipped, Talladega Nights, The Garden, 500 Days of Summer
Do you look up to any Filipinos as role models?
Cory Aquino was a big role model. I was only a kid when the People Power revolution was taking place in the Philippines, but I vividly remember watching her very closely on the news. When she was named by Time Magazine as the Person of the Year, I remember being very proud of her. I respect her courage. It takes guts to stand up and do what she did after her husband's brutal death.
What are your favorite Filipino dishes?
Adobo, chicken/pork barbecue, beef calderetta, garlic fried rice.
Is there any additional information you would like to share with us?
I am looking for collaborators such as filmmakers, visual artists, web designers, graphic designers, musicians, photographers, writers and interns. By pooling our talents together, I know we can create a truly meaningful film that will resonate with Filipinos all over the world.
Because this independent film is self-funded, progress has been slow. I'm hoping to raise several thousand dollars to hire a professional editor and finish the film by the spring of next year. But in order to do that, I really need to build support. If anyone is interested in talking to me about sponsoring the film, they can contact me at my email address: email@example.com
It is also great for people to show their support to the film online. If people start telling their friends about the film now, by the time it comes out it will be more likely to succeed and reach a larger audience. That's my goal, to connect with Filipinos all over the world by telling OUR STORY.

Water Monitoring Key to Competition
By Seanica Reineke
"In Nebraska, water is money." Water issues are a growing source of conflict and competition in many areas of the world, including the Midwest. But technology, such as water monitoring technology, may help alleviate some of the problems associated with water conflict, according to David Admiraal, associate professor of civil engineering at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
"Water itself is, of course, one of the most important things for human life and for life in general," Admiraal said. Requirements for accurate water quality and quantity measurements have gone up throughout the past four decades, he added, because both quality and quantity have decreased.
Also, he said accuracy is more important now because of the emphasis placed on the environment and on health.
Health is a main reason why people should care about water monitoring, he added, because everyone uses water and is affected by the quantity and quality of water available. People are concerned about
developing cures for cancer and other diseases, but Admiraal believes it is better to never have a disease than to have a cure for it.
"Having access to clean, healthy water prevents the spread of diseases that were at one time a far greater risk than cancer," Admiraal said.
"Whether it is water that we directly drink, water that we play in or water that our kids stomp through that flows in the gutters of our streets, I think most of us would agree that if possible, we prefer it to be free of unhealthy bacteria, viruses and chemicals."
People have realized that discharging polluted water into streams and rivers is not acceptable from a health standpoint, Admiraal said, because any non-natural chemical or substance has the potential to negatively impact the quality of life. He said water regulation in the United States has "vastly improved the health of the population by preventing the spread of potentially deadly diseases like cholera and other diseases that spread through human waste."
This also includes monitoring stormwater runoff, which requires programs to prevent contamination of water by oils, pesticides and fertilizers along with structural changes to water networks to help remove contaminants that impact the quality of life and the environment. Admiraal works with stormwater in his water quality projects with the city of Lincoln, sampling the water to monitor the levels of a variety of pollutants with the goal of developing better strategies for water quality improvement in streams.
Water is needed for various reasons: to fuel agriculture, for household uses, to produce economically feasible electricity and also for recreational purposes, Admiraal said. He added that water has helped develop Nebraska's strong agricultural economy. However, with increasing pressures on water usage, water monitoring is becoming a necessity.
"The science that studies contaminants and related issues is rapidly changing, but it will always be important for us to be able to quantify the extent of the problem," Admiraal said, "and this quantification will require that we know not only how much of any given substance is in the water, but
also the quantity of water that is being affected." He added that knowing the amount of water available makes it easier to decide how much water users, such as irrigators, ethanol plants and recreational users, receive. Not knowing makes it easy to misallocate that amount of water, which is already a limited resource, going to each user.
Water Monitoring- Measuring Quality, Quantity
Water monitoring measures the quality of water, including the water temperature, the chemicals- and the amount of chemicals- in the water. Monitoring also measures water quantity, which is the depth and flow rate- or gallons per minute- of the water. There are various ways to monitor water with different technologies.
Emerging technologies and techniques measure various features of water quality and quantity, but the accuracy of many of the economical devices is limited. Currently, some aspects of water quality can be measured instantaneously with electronic sensors, but few low-cost devices are available. Water monitoring relies heavily on laboratory analysis of samples to determine specific quantities of chemicals and constituents in the flow that cannot be measured accurately with electronic devices, he said. Based on his work, Admiraal believes cost-effective sensors that can directly and accurately measure specific chemicals in streams are "a long way down the road."
He said the most common way to measure water quantity is with a weir- a concrete structure, like a dam, that is installed to back up flow in a canal or river to form a reservoir, divert water into a side channel or purely for the purpose of measuring flow. Weirs cost anywhere between $1,000 and $100,000, depending on size, and can be placed in different types of channels- from small ditches to large canals.
There also are some newer technologies being used, though Admiraal said it is still sometimes difficult to get trustworthy measurements with them. One new technique is measuring surface velocities of rivers with radar, microwave and imaging techniques. Another technique is with hydroacoustic devices, which can measure velocities throughout the water column, which is the water flowing in a river between the surface and the bed. Admiraal said these technologies hold promise for: improving measurement accuracy; making measurements in a short time; reducing the need for a skilled operator for long periods of time; and measuring flow rates in places too dangerous for an operator to go.
Future Improvements and Developments Necessary
Currently, typical water quantity measurements are 10 percent accurate, which Admiraal said leaves plenty of room for improvement. He said new technologies, such as those with remote sensing capabilities without structures and without on-site operators, are needed. He said those technologies currently are being developed. Typical water quality measurements are even less accurate and more difficult to obtain than water quantity measurements. "We need devices that can not only identify the quantity of a contaminant, but what contaminants are present, and that's a pretty complex thing to do."
Admiraal said scientists and engineers need to produce devices or improve existing devices that measure flow from a distance over a wide area, allowing for better estimates of the total water budget across Nebraska and the United States. He said these devices would ensure more accurate allocations as a result of more accurate measurements. "Competition for water will grow independent of water measurement," said Admiraal. "Knowing the amount of water won't affect how people try to get their hands on it, but it does allow us to determine if it is being distributed correctly. Accurate measurements make sure what was promised and delivered are the same."
Already, Admiraal said, "big strides have been made" in thermal measurements by using thermal cameras to measure water surface temperatures from a distance. He described how a number of researchers have used thermal imaging to measure temperatures near power plants because they use
water as a coolant. "I would expect to see not just thermal imaging, but other technologies pop up in the future that are going to help us come up with better flow measurements, better water quality measurements," Admiraal said. "It's an emerging technology, and just like any emerging technology, you find new uses for it and it becomes less expensive as they find new ways of using it or developing that technology."
However, he said there are tradeoffs between accuracy, cost and where each method can be used effectively.

I hate to edit on a computer screen. If it is a document that is more than a page, I usually print it off and edit from the hard copy. Why? I don't know. There is simply the sense that it is easier to miss something on a screen.
Another quirk: the more serious the business meeting, the more inclined I am to wear shoes that tie instead of loafers. Why? My theory is it conveys a more serious image. Odd, perhaps, but the small things matter. Serious meetings also require a white or blue shirt - usually white - and a tie that conveys gravitas. No wild designs.
Still another quirk: If a book is a classic, I probably won't read it on an e-reader. It deserves to be read in its paper version as a silent honor.
And yes, thank-you notes should be written with a fountain pen.
Your quirks?

Hi, I am Jen Avellaneda. First, I am not some super-spiritual person, who reads and prays 24/7. I am a person with trial and triumphs, just like you.
I am here not because I have some great insight, some must-do rules, or can even attest that I have my life perfect and "all figured out"…I type these words more out of obedience and faithfulness because in my heart of hearts, I know God has created me to write.
Over the past twenty-three years, I have been "mom" off and on to not quite two dozen. Some through birth, others through fostering. We also have a huge heart for and have become parents through trans-racial adoption.
Like you, I strive to live this life the best I can using doing what I can in my daily walk to glorify Him; writing, speaking, advocating for the orphan, traveling to the needy both locally and internationally.
My husband and I have been married over two decades. An ex-teacher to hundreds, majoring in Psychology and Child development. Downshifting my life when I chose home-schooling, educating my children for now, nearly a decade.
I am now a regular contributor at, Missional Women, speak at conferences, and am humbled to be able to be featured at places like {in}Courage and the book, "A Missional Life: Living in Light of Eternity".
Although I have served God for multiple decades, it took a fresh revival of my heart to appreciate a relationship not based on works, tasting the fluid grace capturing my heart with a love that is worth pursuing. My motto is much like Helen Keller's who once said, "Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadows".
If you talk to me for any length of time, you will learn that I am pretty passionate about the needy; whether the homeless, lost, broken, but especially those who embody the "orphan spirit". My own life journey has broken me and is now teaching me, "No one is too far gone, too lost, too broken that God can't reach them and make them whole again".
In a day where hope is fading, faith is fleeting, lives are seeking real, authentic relationship… I still believe in the local church, in global evangelism that uses words to change the world. I believe grace truly changes lives, and love covers a multitude of sins.
- In the mountains of Guatemala, seeing Jesus shine through a one armed man who was the victim of a neighbors Christian-hating machete,
- In the Philippines, Filipino children my church and family ministered to, shot by corrupt policemen who insisted they renounce their conversation,
- In the faces of the abandoned toddler I fell in love with and held in Dominican Republic,
- Or in the hearts of all those children I saw behind the bars of the government orphanage each time I went to China…
I hold tight to the truth that Jesus is enough, the gift of His love was meant to be shared with each of those He puts in front of us, and true faith rises when we stand on His Word, lean on His strength, and rise up and "go" and be His hands and feet.

WHAT: Tripzaar.com is an online database of friendly hosts who want to give travelers a local's tour of their town, for a price. Adventure levels vary.
HITS: Itineraries tend to be well thought out. I was drawn to a seven-night surfing trip in Costa Rica ($1,675) that included accommodations, daily surf lessons, two yoga sessions, breakfast, airport transfers, as well as two adventure tours to local waterfalls and an off-road Jeep tour. Click on "View Trip" to see the itinerary, guide description and photos. Make sure to take note of "What's not included" so you know when you'll be on your own or will need to pay extra fees.
MISSES: I wanted to see a global map of trips offered or a drop-down menu of themes. Also, my search showed that several major cities in the U.S. and Europe had nothing. The site is young, but bookmark and check before your next adventure.

10 games we're most looking forward to in 2016
The holiday rush is over, which means most fans of video games have settled into a time of long, wintry hibernation when we catch up on everything we missed.
Eff that. There's a whole new year of video games to look forward to. Some stuff we haven't seen, and won't see for many months, but we know they'll be big. Looking at you, Call of Duty, Destiny and Madden. Others we've seen a lot of and have talked about at length (see also: Street Fighter V).
See also: The 10 best mobile games of 2015
That's not what we're about right now. Everything listed below is almost certain to be coming out in 2016, and the anticipation for each and every one has us perched on the edge of our seats. Even with a mountain of killer games to get through from the current year — 2015 kicked all sorts of ass — it's never too early to get hype for what's next. Read more…

90 Vegetarian Capsules
Genesis Today's Digestion is a blend of plant-based digestive enzymes and herbs, including papain from papaya, bromelain from pineapple, ginger, fennel and dandelion leaf, to support healthy digestion and nutrient absorption. This vegetarian and lactose-free formulation contains no preservatives or added refined sugars.*
More Details
Genesis Today's Digestion is also packaged in a delayed release, vegetarian capsule protecting the ingredients from stomach acids and allowing them to be released in the intestines where they are needed and most beneficial.*
Digestion is formulated to offer enzymatic support for complete digestion of foods as well as nutrient absorption and assimilation.*
- Supports digestion and nutrient absorption*
- 12 plant-based digestive enzymes
- 90 delayed release vegetarian capsules
Genesis Today's Digestion is a distinctive blend of herbs and enzymes designed to work synergistically to help support your health and well-being, including papaya, dandelion root, protease and lactase.*
Papaya is a tropical fruit native to the Americas with a sweet, musky flavor and a soft, buttery texture. Christopher Columbus even called it the "fruit of the angels" when he discovered it on his voyage to the New World. In addition to its luscious taste, papaya also contains papain, an enzyme that helps digest complex proteins such as those found in meat.
While many people think of the dandelion as a pesky weed, this hardy little yellow bloom is actually chock full of vitamins and minerals. Traditionally, Native Americans used dandelion to support digestion by boiling the roots and leaves into a daily tea.*
Aspergillus oryzae is a fungus widely used in fermenting traditional Asian foods, including soy sauce, sake, bean curd and rice vinegars. This useful organism contains a number of enzymes that help support digestion, including lactase, an enzyme essential to the digestion of whole milk, and protease, a group of enzymes that help break long proteins down into essential amino acids.*

The best chance to save the life of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev might be to put his dead brother on trial.
When Tsarnaev's case begins, his lawyers are likely to pin their hopes — and the bombings themselves — on his older brother, Tamerlan: a Golden Gloves boxer, college student, husband and father who also followed radical Islam was named by a friend as a participant in a grisly 2011 triple slaying.
"He was the eldest one and he, in many ways, was the role model for his sisters and his brother," said Elmirza Khozhugov, the former husband of Tamerlan's sister, Ailina.

JOHN TOSHACK has warned Mark Hughes' Wales side the hard work has just started in their bid to reach Portugal 2004.
Welsh legend Toshack says the coming Euro qualifiers on foreign soil this autumn in Serbia-Montenegro and Italy will tell us just how good Hughes' team are.
And Toshack has urged Wales to make the most of those games, rather than just rely on the final two Millennium Stadium showdowns with Finland and Serbia to book their passage to Portugal.
Toshack pointed out how Hughes' men could take a tip from Mike Smith's Class of '76 as Wales seek to top a European Championship qualifying group for the first time since.
Toshack was part of the brilliant Welsh side who almost 30 years ago went to Hungary's then Nep Stadium fortress and clinched a shock 2-1 victory.
The result meant they were able to go on to qualify for the last eight of the European Championships, before eventually bowing out against Yugoslavia.
Toshack can see analogies with Hughes' current team as they prepare for two crunch showdowns away to Serbia-Montenegro on August 20 and Italy on September 6.
"There is no question that Welsh international football is certainly on a high at the moment.
"We couldn't have asked for anything more than four wins from the opening four qualifiers," Toshack told BBC Sport.
"But, after the draw was made, I said that the crunch period would come at the beginning of next season.
"The away game against Serbia-Montenegro is going to be tricky, and then comes the daunting task of going to Italy.
"This is going to be the most difficult and crucial part of the whole campaign.
"There is a lot of euphoria about the Wales team at the moment - and rightly so. But this is the time when we will find out how good they really are.
"If you are going to win a qualifying group, there comes a time when you have to go away from home to get a decisive result. This is the time."
Toshack went on to tell the Beeb that while Wales' 2-1 home win over Italy was momentous, Giovanni Trapattoni's men were without three key men that night in Francesco Totti, Christian Vieri and Fillipo Inzaghi.
"If we have to go to Italy without Hartson, Bellamy and Giggs, we would find it tough," Toshack explained.
He continued, "The only Wales side to win a qualifying group was the team in 1976 - not the World Cup side of 1958.
"And the one result that won that side the group was a 2-1 win against Hungary in Budapest.
"I don't think the players should take the feeling that they have got two home games at the end of the group to rely upon should anything go wrong.
"We should make sure nothing does go wrong.
"We should go to Serbia for the next match trying to win the game."
Wales have begun their Group Nine campaign with a 100 per cent record - four wins out of four.
Already they have pulled off fine away wins in Finland and Azerbaijan, to supplement home triumphs over Italy and then the Azeris last March.
But Toshack feels the real crunch period is coming, arguing that there will be a different kind of pressure on Hughes' men.
"When you are at the top, with a sense of expectation from the nation, it can suddenly become very hard," said Toshack.
"I think Mark's team have the ability to cope.
"They have real firepower in Hartson, Bellamy, Giggs and Davies and the current side is perhaps more well-balanced than Terry Yorath's team who came so close to reaching the 1994 World Cup.
"But it is important the players do handle the differing pressures they will feel with the new batch of games coming up."
Hughes' preparations for the game in Serbia could be hindered because FIFA have said he can only have his players 48 hours before the game.
"It's going to be difficult, especially since Mark might not have a lot of time with the players before going out," said Toshack.
"The Yugoslavs have always been seen as the Brazilians of Europe - the country has produced real quality players over the years."
But Toshack pointed out, "They are not as strong as they once were and Wales should look to make the most of that when the time comes."

Served at the Launch of Active After 35 Thrive to 105 the Podcast
The food was great
You can recreate the awesome food that was served at the party
Create this awesome chard frittata recipe for good health and great taste.
This dish was one of those served at the launch party of the podcast Active After 35 Thrive to 105
Swiss chard is not only vitamin-rich, it's one of the prettiest vegetables in the garden. With stems ranging from red, to gold, to deep purple, this leafy green is a treat to eat. Here are 5 reasons to incorporate this powerful food into your diet starting today.
Chard is loaded with phytonutrients that work to protect your body's antioxidant stores, helping to fight cancer and maintain eye health, decreasing your risk of cataracts. Vitamin C is this vegetable's middle name. Just two small handfuls of chard supply over a third of your daily dose of vitamin C. Chard's high levels of Magnesium and vitamin K help protect you from osteoporosis. A veggie this green impacts everything, even your bones! Chard is fiber-rich. A dose of fiber goes a long way toward decreasing your cholesterol levels and reducing your risk for heart disease. Chard is full of vitamin E, which decreases your risk of developing coronary artery disease and other heart problems.
What's your favorite Swiss chard recipe? Here's one that I absolutely love and can't wait to share with you!
Chard Frittata
Serves 4 – 8 people
8 eggs, beaten @ 7g protein per egg
21 cups of raw chopped chard (stems and leaves OK) @7g carbohydrate per cup of chard*
1-2 cups of chopped onion @ 15g carbohydrate per 1 cup of onion
Garlic, chopped, (to taste, optional)
2 TBSP Olive or Coconut Oil
8 sticks of string cheese @ 7g protein per stick
6 oz goat or feta cheese@ 4g protein and 2g carbohydrate per oz
4 oz grated parmesan cheese @ 10g protein per oz
Add oil to a large cast iron or heavy metal skillet. Sauté onions and garlic over medium heat for 1 minute. Add chard stems and cook another 1 – 2 minutes. Add remaining chard leaves and cook until leaves turn bright green. Season lightly with salt, pepper, herbs of your choice, and a bit of Tabasco Sauce. Stir all together and mix well.
Turn stove heat to low. Pour beaten eggs over mixture to cover evenly. Do not stir. Let the eggs perameate the spaces between chopped chard and onions. Turn off heat.
Arrange 8 sticks of string cheese in a star pattern on the top of the frittata. Pinch segments of goat cheese and place in-between string cheese to make a decorative look on the top of the pan. Lightly sprinkle parmesan over top of everything.
Turn on the broiler and, when broiler is HOT put pan under the flame and brown the top of the frittata. I like mine to get nice and almost burnt. The heat from the broiler should finish cooking the eggs. If they are not solid already place the pan in the hot oven (broiler turned off and door closed) and let the egg mixture finish cooking.

Enjoy hot or cold. Cut into 4 – 8 pieces.

I'm experiencing sharp and stab like pains in my lower abdomen
Patient : I'm experiencing sharp and stab like pains in my lower abdomen as well as frequent urination but if after I urinate I still feel like I have to pee and urgently as well to point where it is painful.Along with this I also have irrigation in my vaginal area.Iv been experiencing this sharp pain for a hour now what do you suggest I do and what can I do.
Doctor : Hi. Thanks for your query. The sharp and stabbing like pains in lower abdomen along with frequency of urination, fee ling of incomplete evacuation of the urinary bladder and irritation in vaginal area can most probably be due to severe cystitis or a stone at the bladder neck (as this is just an hour-old). I would advise you to rush to ER, get ultrasonography and / or X-ray of the abdomen for KUB, relevant blood and urine tests. The Urine should be given for culture and sensitivity before you start your antibiotics to get a proper report. The Doctor will give you the further advice and treatment as per the cause found. You can take plenty of water orally and a painkiller if you have at home. I hope this answer helps you to get a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Tri-Weekly Telegraph (Houston, Tex.), Vol. 31, No. 137, Ed. 1 Friday, January 19, 1866 . . . We learn that the little propeller steamer Kate, running between Liberty and Galveston, was totally destroyed by fire on Monday night, at Red Fish Bar. Her deck load of cotton caught fire and she soon burned to the water's edge. She had about 100 bales of cotton on board, which is a total loss.

As a church we have taken on the principles of 'Missional Communities'. Check out some of our Missional Communities in the 'whats on' section. We hope there is a community that you can be apart of here at Eb.
A Missional Community is a group of people, about the size of an extended family, who are united through Christian community around a common service and witness to a particular neighborhood or network of relationships. The participants of Missional Communities find their primary identity of "church" within the Missional Community, rather than a larger worship service or small group. In essence, this group of people becomes a close-knit spiritual family on mission together.
General characteristics
Missional Communities (MCs) are designed to be a flexible, local expression of church, not dependent on typical church buildings or church services. MCs have been described as "small enough to care but large enough to dare." Missional Communities may be called by other names, such as Clusters, Go Communities, Incarnational Communities, or Mission Shaped Communities. MCs are primarily led by laity and are "lightweight and low maintenance"[3] and most often meet 3-4 times a month in their missional context. Missional Communities place a strong value on life together, with the expressed intention of seeing those they impact choose to start following Jesus. With this focus, a Missional Community will often grow and multiply into other MCs. Missional Communities are most often networked within a larger church community, often with many other Missional Communities.
An MC has leaders who, through a process of discernment, decide their mission vision and then invite people to join them in reaching that particular context. The leaders of the MC are held accountable by the leadership of the greater church community, both for what they do and for the way in which they do it (i.e., character as well as task). "Low control, high accountability" is one way to describe relationships between the Missional Community and the church body and leadership.
Network and accountability
If MCs are "low control/high accountability," having a church structure that invests in lay leaders and empowers them while holding them accountable is of paramount importance. Perhaps the most widely used vehicle for this are called Discipleship Huddles, which is a group of 4-10 leaders. The frequency of these groups differs based on each individual church, but generally speaking they meet at least once a month and as often as once a week. Huddles are a place where leaders are actively being discipled in a community of peers, where they are held accountable for the leadership of their groups by their Huddle leader. The two central questions of a Huddle are: 1) What is God saying to you? 2) What are you going to do about it?[4] By seeing that leaders follow through on the plans they form from answering both of these questions, a culture is developed of both high support and high challenge. Over a period of time, this allows leaders to cultivate and sustain the character, skills and spiritual depth needed to lead.
As churches with Missional Communities tend to be far more decentralized than most Western churches, the network of these Huddles are essential to the unity and direction of the wider church. Usually the Senior Pastor will Huddle 4-10 leaders, these leaders will in turn Huddle 4-10 leaders, who in turn Huddle the leaders they are responsible for. As the church grows, multiplying Missional Communities and Small Groups, more Huddles are added as necessary. What most churches have found helpful is an agreed upon DNA in the language that all leaders use that filter down to their various groups. Most often this is the language of LifeShapes, a set of 8 Shapes that distill the teachings and principles of the Bible and Jesus, that were fashioned by Mike Breen as Missional Communities first developed and captured in his book "Building a Discipling Culture."
A typical gathering
There is tremendous flexibility in the forms of Missional Communities, since the intention is that they are highly accessible to the culture into which they are planted. They are anchored around the three core relationships of life – UP to God, IN to family and friends, and OUT to the wider society which they seek to be a blessing to. In practice MCs do tend to certain things pretty regularly, albeit in slightly different ways according to their context, including:
Food - ideally sharing a meal together
Socializing/ laughing/ having fun
Breaking Bread/ sharing Communion
Story-telling (i.e. testimony), especially of things people are grateful to God for
Bringing praise and worship to God
Offering prayer for healing and prophetic encouragement to anyone who has particular need
Studying the Scriptures together, especially from what God has been speaking to the leader (or whoever is leading that portion) about during the past week.
Praying for the wider community that you are seeking to reach, as well as for the MCs witness there
Planning practicalities for mission activities
In addition to providing this list, we can summarize this as a 1 Corinthians 11-14 model, which seems the fullest unpacking of how a church oikos [extended household] would meet and express its life together. From what Paul writes, it is also clear that those gatherings were led in such a way that people who weren't yet Christians could come in and be welcomed, without it throwing all the plans into confusion."
As well, a Missional Community will go OUT together in specific missional activities, to serve and witness to their place of calling. Such events need to be regular and rhythmic, so that the group sees this as an integral part of their life together. It should be no more a 'special' than meeting to eat together or pray together is.

Rustic, Mountain Style Home Theater Designs
Builder Magazine recently had a piece featuring a builder's expectations of "Custom Home Design Trends for 2012," and home theaters were among the top 10. Since this luxury feature is expected to gain popularity this year, we want to show examples of home theaters with rustic, mountain style. Take a look at these designs…
The finishes in this space have a nice rustic feel, including the textile pattern on the sofa, the warm throw on the ottoman and, of course, the woodwork and cabinetry.
We saw this theater featured on Electronic House and liked the look of the stone. Electronic House also points out "a Rocky Mountain Quartz floor."
And here's one from the Home on the Range portfolio. We designed a home theater for a mountain eclectic-style home in Colorado. The natural wood look warms up the space.
If you're interested in a stylish home theater design for your Western-style home, contact Home on the Range Interiors in Steamboat Springs, CO today.

Linn, Just Listen.... Linn, based in Glasgow, Scotland, was founded in 1973 by Ivor Tiefenbrun. They are world leaders in digital streaming products as well as speakers, amplification and, of course, turntables, with the iconic LP12.
Speed accuracy is critical for optimum audio quality under any load conditions encountered during the playing of an album. This is so there will be no adverse effects on the low-level cartridge signals being generated and fed to the phonostage. Below are a range of LP12 power supplies which are perfect upgrades to your LP12.
Linn, after much research on the subject of DC motors for the LP12, released the Radikal in 2009. Immediately, the Radikal received huge praise and acclaim as, quite simply, any LP12 upgraded with the Radikal, had an absolutely massive lift in sound quality. This was an improvement much larger than other upgrades such as tonearm, cartridge or even the sub-chassis.
No matter how well engineered, a synchronous AC motor produces some degree of electromagnetic noise, which can cause pickup effects on the cartridge. Although there were other DC motor solutions available for the LP12, in our opinion they never really worked musically, and it is really only with Linn's own Radikal power supply and motor that we believe you really hear what the LP12 is capable of achieving.
Just as many owners were coming to terms with just how good the Radikal was, Linn found a way of improving its performance still further. The Dynamik power supply upgrade to the Radikal's own power supply within its box was immediately introduced into Radikal production. Linn's care and attention to existing LP12 owners was again amply demonstrated, as the Dynamik power upgrade was made available to all existing Radikal owners, thus allowing them to upgrade to the latest specification should they wish to gain another leap in performance.
The Radikal is the best power supply for your LP12. There are two casework versions: the Akurate (shown right) and the Klimax (shown above). Both are available in black or silver to blend in cosmetically with your existing system.
The Lingo 3 is the latest version in the Linn Lingo range. The Lingo 3 received new and improved Akurate casework and, although the circuit board is the same as the Lingo 2, there are some sonic improvements due to mounting it within the better Akurate casework. Whether brought new or second-hand, the Lingo 3 represents a sound investment for many LP12s.
The Lingo 1 was first launched in 1990 and is an outboard power supply housed in a slim rectangular box. There are many sonic benefits in using a Lingo over a Valhalla. Two very low noise crystal oscillators are used, one for 33 rpm and one for 45 rpm, the output of which is fed into a synchronous counter to produce a 50 Hz or 67.5 Hz square wave for 33 rpm and 45 rpm respectively. A precision filter is employed in the Lingo to remove harmonics from the square wave leaving only a pure sinusoidal waveform, this allows the LP12 AC motor to run at its quietest, hence why it sounds better than a Valhalla. The Lingo 1 was discontinued in 2001 and replaced with the Lingo 2
The Lingo 2 is identified by the fact that it's housed in Linn's LK-sized box and, although the very first Lingo 2s employed the same circuit board as the Lingo 1, the vast majority of Lingo 2s have an improved surface-mount component board inside. This was introduced very shortly after the Lingo 2 was brought into circulation. As with the Valhalla, second-hand Lingo 1s and 2s represent great value for money when upgrading or starting with an LP12 on a budget. Please ask for details on second-hand units as we very frequently have traded-in units from owners who are upgrading to a Radikal power supply and DC motor (as detailed above).
Way back in 1973 when the first Linn LP12s were produced, the power supply feeding the motor was very simple, but in 1982 the first of the upgraded power supplies, the Valhalla, was produced. This is an inboard power supply designed to isolate the rotation of the turntable motor from variations in the mains supply. The circuit board operates by using a crystal oscillator, dividing it down to 50 Hz, filtering it to form a pure sine wave, then amplifying this signal to a level which drives the motor.
You might ask, why write about this power supply given that it was discontinued back in 2004? Well, you may be interested to know that it is still possible to have the Valhalla serviced! Class A in Sheffield undertake this work for us and it means there is a very cheap and simple solution to power the motor if you are looking to minimise the cost of buying an LP12 or just keeping an existing LP12 spinning nicely. Ask for details on our service exchange facility for Valhallas, or a serviced second-hand one.
Something went wrong and we were unable to complete your request.

Unsupervised walking therapy and atherosclerotic risk-factor management for patients with peripheral arterial disease: A pilot trial
- 104 Downloads
- Citations
Background: Although only a small percentage of patients with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) have claudication, many more suffer from atypical leg symptoms.Purpose: This pilot trial evaluated a risk-factor modification program to improve walking ability in patients with PAD and leg symptoms other than intermittent claudication.Methods: Patients 18 years or older with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.50 to 0.89 completed a baseline assessment of current walking ability, physical activity level, health-related quality of life, glycosylated hemoglobin values, and fasting lipid profiles. Patients were randomized to usual care (control group) versus usual care plus an educational intervention on risk-factor management (intervention group). We compared functional outcomes between and within groups using the Student's t test and control and intervention group outcomes at 12 weeks using analysis of covariance with the baseline value as the covariate.Results: We randomized 50 patients into two treatment arms. There was no difference in the mean age of patients in each group. At baseline, mean ABI for the control versus the intervention group was 0.72 (SD=0.10) and 0.75 (SD=0.10), respectively, and mean stair-climbing values did not differ between groups. At 12 weeks, mean stair-climbing values were 40.2 (SD=30.2) for the control and 61.2 (SD=32.8) for the intervention group. The difference in adjusted mean walking distance between groups at 12 weeks was not significant. Analysis of covariance associated assignment to the intervention versus the control arm with a significant increase at 12 weeks in the ABI (p=.008) and stair-climbing ability (p=.02).Conclusions: Patients in the intervention group improved objective measures of blood flow and reported stair-climbing ability.

Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, March 16, 2005; Page C01
The Smithsonian Institution reached into its own history yesterday and selected Lonnie G. Bunch, a former Smithsonian curator, to be the founding director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
Bunch, 52, is president of the Chicago Historical Society, where in the past four years he has led the museum through a reorganization and capital campaign.
Bunch said yesterday he couldn't say no to the Smithsonian's offer. "What I realized and what ultimately convinced me is that the Chicago Historical Society had nurtured my soul. But helping to create the museum was nurturing my ancestors, and that was too powerful a notion," he said.
His mission as founding director will be very similar to the task undertaken by W. Richard West Jr., director of the National Museum of the American Indian. West guided the museum for more than 15 years, from conception to its opening last fall.
The campaign for an African American museum endured several starts and stops for decades on Capitol Hill. Legislation authorizing the museum was finally enacted in 2003. The Smithsonian then began the tasks of developing the museum and choosing a location.
But very little has been decided.
"One of the challenges is that this is a start-up," Bunch said. "Even though a great deal of work has been done by the Smithsonian, you have the practical challenge of building a staff. You have to decide what is this entity called the National Museum of African American History and Culture. And you have profound fundraising challenges."
What he has done previously, he said, prepared him for taking on the development of an important, and closely watched, institution. "At this stage in my career, I didn't want to do anything that was easy. I want to continue to learn and do a challenging job that would have an impact on the country." Bunch, a native of New Jersey, earned his bachelor and master's degrees from American University.
"Lonnie Bunch is a distinguished historian and a skilled leader," Smithsonian Secretary Lawrence M. Small said. "With his many talents and vast experience, he's perfectly suited to take on the exciting task of creating the new Smithsonian museum."
Bunch knows the inner workings of the Smithsonian well. From 1989 to 2000, he worked at the National Museum of American History as a curator and administrator. He led the team that in 2000 produced "American Presidency: A Glorious Burden," a sprawling permanent exhibition that showed how the pressures of the office shaped occupants of the White House. It went from idea to opening in eight months, a record for most museums.
For six years, as the museum's associate director for curatorial affairs, Bunch managed 14 departments with 150 people.
He said he understands the politics of the question of where the museum should be located. Congress asked the Smithsonian regents to consider four sites. One is the Smithsonian's Arts and Industries Building on the Mall; a second is opposite the Washington Monument at Constitution Avenue and 14th Street NW. The others are a short distance from the Mall. Last month President Bush said he favored a spot on the Mall.
"I understand there is an assessment being done on the four sites. I need to look at that to help make a recommendation to the secretary. My hope is that we can come to that decision as quickly as we can," Bunch said. Officials at the Smithsonian said the private study should be completed later this year.
Bunch is also familiar with the special mandates of black museums. From 1983 to 1989, he worked at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles, where he was curator of history and program manager.
Brent Glass, director of the National Museum of American History, has gotten to know Bunch through national organizations and foresees a good working relationship. "I am very committed to telling the story of America, and the African American story is part of that story. But the African American story is so rich and complex that it can be told in a number of venues," Glass said.
The nature of the museum is another challenge. "It is a challenge to make sure that this is a museum that allows people to revel in African American culture, but it is also a museum that says what it means to be an American. Everyone will want to come here because it will help us understand courage and resiliency and other traits," Bunch said.
At this early stage, he sees a museum that will address global concerns, such as how Britain is wrestling with issues of race, and one that will encourage people to explore other museums with important exhibits related to the black experience. For example, a show in Washington on black communities in the Lowcountry in South Carolina might also refer visitors to a museum in Charleston.
"As a historian there are few things that are off-limits," he said. "You have to think of the museum in many ways."

I've been struggling to put down my thoughts from Edutech. I saw so many great keynotes, all of which challenged my thinking and even better, offered me ideas that are helping me to map a route for change and improvement at my school. For now, here is one of the thought bubbles that I had during the conference, which I think will shape what I do in the future.
Knowledge builds a fence around learning.
Sugata Mitra and Tom Barrett both spoke about the difficulties with knowing things. When children, who had never seen a computer before asked Mitra what it was, during his famous Hole in the Wall study, he answered 'I don't know'. This set the children upon an amazing path of exploration and learning which is revolutionising the way we think about the role of learners and the role of the teacher. They learned far more than anyone had predicted. If Mitra had answered their questions, they would no longer have been curious, and the learning would not have occurred.
Barrett touched on this in his keynote about Creativity in the Australian curriculum. In a world where information is immediately accessible, we need to be discerning in the way we use that access. When students ask 'What is it?' or 'How does it work?' they could use a search engine to find an answer. Or they could explore, speculate, theorise and experiment, allowing deeper learning and the potential for curiosity to spark inquiry in all sorts of unexpected directions.
Mitra saw in his work that rather than answering children's questions with knowledge, it is better to answer them with encouragement. Instead of responding to student work with statements like, 'That's not right', he suggested answering with:
'If you do it again, will you get the same result?'
'Is there a chance that is not right?'
And instead of responding to the 'What is it?' questions with facts, respond with 'I don't know'.
In our role of teachers, we want to support our students in their learning journey. We often feel we are helping when we provide knowledge and answers. But to fan the flames of curiosity that will drive learning, we need to be discerning in when and how we do this, because the moment we feel we KNOW something, we stop wondering, and its that sense of wonder that drives a love of learning.
