What the hell is going on in Duabai???? Prices rose 19pc there last year. Didn't it just go through a real estate bubble and burst?

The difference is that Dubai is so free in pure economic terms that they adjust so quickly. They don't have the huge welfare state apparatus to deal with and as such less waste. I'm not really surprised that it recovered so quickly. They are not as free as I would have liked in many other areas though.
Hong Kong should be the role model of most countries with economic problems. They are just such a superior construction and only time will tell if they continue on the same route. If I could and had the possibilities this is where I would live my life. It's actually kinda funny that their sucess could be tracked back decades ago and our stupid governments just kept going with their old policies.
Both of these are also a capital flight destination when government all around the western world tries to steal it's citizens assets.

Set Designer
Fit out the stage for theater productions.
Though wildflower fields are beautiful, if nature is left to run wild on a patch of green space, it wouldn't turn out exactly as the garden of your dreams. That's why Landscape Designers are such a big help. As a Landscape Designer, you spend your days planning and wrestling nature to achieve a specific look that follows your client's preferences.
Like the job of an Architect who builds houses, your job is all about planning. You plan where trees, walkways, and water should go, as well as what type of plants should be planted. You make your decisions as a Landscape Designer based on factors like where sunlight hits the yard, what type of soil you're working with, what plants are native to the area, and of course, what your client wants.
This job is collaborative, so you need good communication skills. It starts when you first talk with your client. You need to clearly understand what they're looking for, and then draw up a plan that clearly explains what you want to do.
Once you're both in agreement, you pass your plans along to Construction Workers, other Architects, and Surveyors. These are the people who put your vision into action, and create the finished product.
You don't just design backyards though. You can work on sports fields, college campuses, parks—pretty much any open space where people want greenery that looks good. And when you're not creating models or designs, you take care of other tasks, like analyzing and drawing up budgets, researching different materials and soil types, and working with the computer program CADD.

The artwork is done on stretched canvas, which is ensconced in a shadow box style frame. The black satin finish of the frame contrasts beautifully with the vibrant tone of the floral art. Since each piece of the Window View Floral Art is hand-painted, delicate differences between pieces could be there.

BULLETS, BROADS, BLACKMAIL & BOMBS >> Still No Martini Drinkers Here
Welcome to column number seven of BULLETS, BROADS, BLACKMAIL & BOMBS, a never-ending dip into my pile of pulp paperbacks. This one was a bit tougher than the others since I wanted to give up midway through a couple of this week's titles, which include a man from U.N.C.L.E., a ninja, a no-name spy and a reformed thief who is now a secret agent.
THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.: THE THOUSAND COFFINS AFFAIR – With all the TV show tie-in novels appearing on the shelves today (CSI, BONES, MONK and 24, to name a few), I figured it was about time to finally open one … from several decades ago (1965, to be exact). Now, I'll assume most of you know of the mid-'60s MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. TV series – one that was pretty much inspired by the Bond movies, with Robert Vaughn as secret agent Napoleon Solo. The tie-in books are an extension of the show, with scenes and themes which TV could never show at the time.
Michael Avallone's THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.: THE THOUSAND COFFINS AFFAIR starts out with Solo trying to score with a lovely lady. Well, guess what, Solo? She's an agent of T.H.R.U.S.H., your enemy, which tries to kill both of them with some sort of sound machine that will blow their heads off, SCANNERS-style. Once Solo makes his escape, an U.N.C.L.E. scientist is found dead, so his mission is to pick up the body and bring him back to the States. From there, Solo meets a female agent from the U.S. government who is investigating the murder, and both are captured by T.H.R.U.S.H.
The enemy this time is Golgotha, a man who so badly burned in an explosion that his face just resembles a skull. T.H.R.U.S.H. has developed a pellet that not only drives the infected insane before killing them, but also decomposes the bodies decompose down to the bone in about three days. Look, folks, this is not Shakespeare (or, for that matter, Nick Carter). This reads like a TV show plot with gorier details, because I don't think naked torture would really fly on the tube back in the '60s. I have to thumb my nose at AFFAIR for giving away the solution to a Ellery Queen novel I hadn't yet read, THE CHINESE ORANGE MYSTERY." The only reason I bring this up is that the solution to that story doubles as a huge clue to this one. Maybe at some point I'll delve into another U.N.C.L.E. book, when I have a few hours to kill.
NINJA MASTER #3: BORDERLAND OF HELL – Brett Wallace is back in action in another high-kickin' tale of revenge. I just don't get who NINJA MASTER #3: BORDERLAND OF HELL is targeting, as the cover screams, "Buy me, kids!," but the story is incredibly graphic in terms of violence and sex. The first chapter alone features a gang rape and the castration of a peasant farmer.
This 1972 tale in Wade Barker's NINJA MASTER saga takes place in Mexico, in some forgotten area run by the retired Gen. Estrada. To be brutally honest, I don't know why I even stayed with the whole thing, since the story consists of a kidnapped Asian girl being passed around like a party favor, forced to performed all kinds of sexual favors. Of course, Brett goes down to Mexico to save her with his ninja skills, walking into situations set up to show off just to demonstrate that Brett is a ninja. This book takes a page from the old KUNG FU TV series, with Brett having flashbacks to his ninja training; the only thing missing was him being called Grasshopper. I should've learned from the first NINJA MASTER installment what to expect, but I just could not believe I was facisnated by this story like some people are with car wrecks.
FUNERAL IN BERLIN – From 1964, Len Deighton's FUNERAL IN BERLIN is the third adventure of our anonymous, working-class spy. For those unfamiliar, Deighton is the anti-Fleming; his spies actually worry about paying the expense reports and live very modest lives. This time out, our spy is sent to Berlin to see about the transfer of a scientist coming to work for the British, while simultaneously investigating if a double agent by the name of Vulcan is now in business for himself. But as the story unfolds, it becomes apparent that the scientist is only secondary to what is really going on: namely, a plot to claim millions sitting unclaimed in the Swiss banks.
The structure for FUNERAL is great, with each chapter describing a chess move or procedure, and most of them actually apply to the action going on within those pages. As the no-name spy makes progress and plays by his own rules, he's constantly pitting one person against another to let the truth rise to the surface. For those who think the only spy fiction is some Ludlum or Le Carré tome, try some Deighton. His spies are probably the most realistic you will ever come across.
MODESTY BLAISE: LAST DAY IN LIMBO – Long before Jennifer Garner was shooting people, stealing all kinds of weird items and performing amazing stunts on ALIAS, her forerunner was Modesty Blaise. Now, if you expect the full-on action that ALIAS offered, look somewhere else. MODESTY BLAISE: LAST DAY IN LIMBO marks my second time reading one of Peter O'Donnell's Blaise books (the other being SABRE-TOOTH), and I just don't get it; a whole lot of nothing happens between very short scenes of action (just like the recent Quentin Tarantino-produced Blaise movie). I've heard the comic strips are a lot better and maybe that's what I should try and find, since the novels leave a lot to be desired.
This 1976 entry deals with a slave labor camp where all the servants are rich and important people who've been kidnapped and assumed to be dead. We're never told why the camp exists or why these people were chosen; the book just goes on switching between scenes of the camp and scenes of sexy spy Modesty and her trusted henchman, Willie Gavin. What little action does happen goes by so fast, you have to re-read it to make sure you didn't miss something. The rest of the story just drags on for pages at a time.
I know there are plenty of Modesty Blaise fans who will disagree with me and maybe I get spoiled reading all the other spy stuff. But what really made me nuts is that the author gives away a whole plot to another Blaise book altogether: I, LUCIFER, which I also own. Thanks, Pete – I guess I can put that in my "already read it" file since I know how it ends and what happened. So if anyone wants to buy my copies of I, LUCIFER; LAST DAY IN LIMBO; SABRE-TOOTH and DRAGON'S CLAW, drop me a line and I'll sell them at a nice discount. –Bruce Grossman

Remember the " Who's having twins" post?
Well I had my first appt and ultrasound on thursday and well .................................................. ..........................
It's NOT me! lol There was only one very wiggly baby in there!!
The Dr appt went well, I had to take my 2 youngest with me and the Dr was so great he had one of the nurses take them into another room and let them pick out a teddy bear to keep while doing the pap.
They couldn't find the HB at the appt but I knew it was well as every time she pressed on my tummy I could feel the baby move.
They where able to schedule a dating ultrasound that same day so I got to see my little ninja.
It measured at 11 weeks 3 days on Thursday so my official due date is Sept 30.
It was way too early to tell the gender and she didn't even attempt a between the legs shot, but oh well I guess the suspense will just have to last longer.
It's so sute I have the Ultrasound printout hanging on my fridge and my kids just love to go look at it. In one of them it looks like the baby is waving.
Re: Remember the " Who's having twins" post?
I cannot tell you how releaved I was it wasn't me.
Sounds like you had a great appointment. Congrats on a happy healthy wiggly baby.
Re: Remember the " Who's having twins" post?
Yay for one wiggly baby! :smile:
Re: Remember the " Who's having twins" post?

Thelonious Monk - Thelonious Himself (Keepnews Collection) (Music CD)
Shipping Destinations for this item
Sorry, this product is currently unavailable.
Those accustomed to the effusive stylings of keyboard masters such as Art Tatum might be baffled by Monk's approach. Monk is essentially a minimalist, a virtuoso of color, accent and space, who relinquished the technical trappings of his craft in pursuit of a specific aesthetic vision. Strip away the more extravagant aspects of Tatum's art--the showy runs, the ornate grace notes, the profuse modulations and asides--and you're left with an advance harmonic thinker, firmly rooted in the rhythmic pulsation of stride, not unlike Monk's "Functional". The main difference being that where Tatum compulsively fills space, Monk (like Basie) establishes a masterful sense of implication, so that listeners finish phrases in their own minds.
Like a great actor finding heretofore obscure layers of meaning in a familiar soliloquy, Monk takes familiar themes such as "April In Paris", "I Should Care" and "Almost Alone" and distills them down to a singing essence. Where most pianists would simply expand upon the tune (or employ the chord changes as a showcase for their own variations), Monk keeps everything focused on thematic materials. You can hear Monk working towards this goal on the work-in-progress CD bonus track of his own classic theme, "'Round Midnight", and on the conclusive master take. For his final selection, "Monk's Mood", the pianist insisted on adding bassist Wilbur Ware and an up-and-coming tenor saxophonist named John Coltrane. By allowing them to italicize and expand upon his bass lines and lead melody, Monk enabled listeners to zero in on the essence of his solo and ensemble styles.

This application is a continuation of U.S. Ser. No. 08/841,459, filed Apr. 22, 1997, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,039,293 on Mar. 21, 2000.
The present invention is directed to providing an auxiliary device for bed-ridden and disabled patients, which device is intended to serve the purpose of making it possible or easier for the patient to sit up in bed, leave the bed and subsequently support themselves adjacent to the bed.
To accomplish these goals, the invention is directed to an auxiliary device for disable, bed-ridden patients comprising a post having a grip extending toward the bed space as well as at least one grip extending parallel to a side of the bed, a holder for receiving the post and having means for locking the post therein, and means for fastening or mounting the holder to the side or edge of the bed.
The advantage of the motion aid, that can be attached to and, in turn, removed from a bed frame with few manipulations and has a movable upper part, is that it is adapted in height to the individual requirements of the patient. The motion or, respectively, uprighting aid can also be employed for motion therapy during rehabilitation.
Other advantages and features of the invention will be readily apparent from the following description of the preferred embodiments, the drawings and claims.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of the auxiliary device for use with a stationary bed;
FIG. 2 is a side view of the auxiliary device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of a base of the holder for the device of FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a second embodiment of the auxiliary device intended for movable beds;
FIG. 5 is a side view of the auxiliary device of FIG. 4;
FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross sectional view through an anchoring for the holder of the device of FIG. 4 with portions in elevation for purposes of illustration;
FIG. 7 is an end view of a modification of a fastening arrangement for securing the device of the present invention on a stationary bed;
FIG. 8 is a bottom view taken along the lines VIII-VIII of FIG. 9;
FIG. 9 is a side elevational view of the device of FIG. 7;
FIG. 10 is a perspective view of another embodiment for securing the holder to a bed frame;
FIG. 11 is a perspective view of an additional modification for fastening the holder to a frame of a movable bed; and
FIG. 12 is yet another modification for securing the holder to a frame of a movable bed.
The principles of the present invention are particularly useful when incorporated in an auxiliary device, which is illustrated in FIG. 1, for making it easier for persons that are bed-ridden or disabled to sit up in bed, leave the bed and subsequently support themselves while standing along a side of the bed. As illustrated, the device is used with a stationary bed having a side board 9. The auxiliary device includes a post 1, which is preferably a quadrangular or four-sided post having a square cross section, which can be formed of a quadrangular pipe that can be inserted into a holder 2 that is composed of a quadrangular pipe and embraces the post with a form fit. The post can be locked in a position by a set screw 3.
A holding grip 4 (FIG. 2) mainly serves as an uprighting aid for a patient and faces inward toward the bed space and is secured to an upper part of the post 1. In addition, grips 5 and 6, which are screwed into threaded bores of the post 7 and extend parallel to the side board 9 of the bed and help the patient execute turning movements or, respectively, lend the patient support when and after they have left the bed and are standing next to the device. Threaded bores 50 (FIG. 1), which receive a male thread of grips or a holder grip 51 (see FIG. 2), are provided on a side of the post 1 facing away from the bed. The upper end of the post has a covering 7.
The holder 2 is secured to a side board 9 of the bed frame with two clips or brackets 8, which are composed of flat bands that have angle bends and are secured to the side board 9 by screws. It is critical that the upper edge of the holder 2 is clearly lower than the upper side of the mattress so that the required operations at the patient or, respectively, the patient's bed are not impeded after the loosening of the set screw 3 and removal of the post 1. A holder 2 can be provided with a bottom plate 10 that lies on the floor, and the bottom plate can be screwed into the floor by screws extending through the four bores provided therein.
The set screw 3 is intended to prevent the post 1 that is inherently easily movable in the quadrangular pipe 2 forming the holder from unintentionally sliding up and is not suitable for supporting the full weight of the patient. Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 3, cuboid or four-sided inserts 11 or 12 are inserted in the holder 2 to limit the downward movement for the post 1 into the holder 2 and form means for selecting the height of support. On the basis of an appropriate selection of the length of the inserts and/or a plurality of these inserts, the height of the projecting post 1 can be matched to the individual demands of the patient. Instead of having the holder 2 connected to the bottom plate 10, it is expedient for an easier replacement of the inserts 11 or 12 to firmly join the bottom plate to the lowest insert that will define a minimum height for the upper post 1. After loosening of the fastening screws on the clip or brackets 8, the holder 2 can easily be pulled up a bit so that the loosely introduced inserts slide out of the holder 2 and can be replaced, as needed, by other inserts that can be inserted into the holder from below. With the lower insert 11 secured to the plate 10, this forms a plug for receiving the square tube forming the holder 2 with a telescopic or socket-like connection.
A modified embodiment of the invention is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5, and is designed for movable beds which have a carriage frame 13 and a mattress support frame 14 arranged thereabove, which is standard in hospitals, clinics and nursing homes. The construction of the post 1 and the holder 2 essentially corresponds to that of FIGS. 1 and 2. Here, however, the holder cannot be supported directly on the floor, but must be firmly anchored to the metal frame 13 or, respectively 14. To this end, U-shaped fish plates or clamps 15 allocated to each frame are provided. The clamps 15 will embrace the respective frame 13 or 14 and are capable of being pressed thereagainst with a compression screw 16, which extends between the legs of the U-shaped clamp, as best illustrated in FIG. 6. The clamps are unreleasably connected to a flat band 18, which surrounds the holder 2, namely either directly or, when the carriage frame 13 is set back, by an appropriately long adapter 17 composed of a quadrangular or square pipe. In the flat band 18 allocated to the lower frame, there is provided at least one threaded bore for a set screw 19 a to form a pressure contact with the holder 2, whereas two threaded bores are provided in the flat band allocated to the upper frame 14 on opposite sides thereto for the two set screws 19 b, which are guided through the bores in the holder 2 and into pressure contact with the post 1. Like the set screw 3 in FIG. 2, the set screws 19 a and 19 b oppose the post 1 from sliding up inadvertently above all, however, and, given an appropriate dimensioning, they prevent the holder from moving relative to the firmly anchored flat band 18 when loaded with the full height of the patient.
As illustrated in FIG. 6, a tubular adapter or bushing 20 of an elastic material that has a bore for the screw 16 and loosely touches the frame 13 in an unstrained or uncompressed condition is arranged between the legs of the U-shaped clamp 15. The inside surfaces of the U-shaped clamp 15 are provided with an elastic layer 21 of, for example, plastic to protect the finish of the bed frame. Thus, when the screw 16 is threaded into the nut to clamp the U-shaped clamp 15 onto the frame, the bushing 20 is compressed and expands to form a grip with the frame member.
The post 1 comprises a plurality of cross bores 22 for the acceptance of a safety pin or fixing pin 23, with which the post is supported on an upper edge of the holder 2. When the upper edge of the holder is fixed in a position that is illustrated in FIG. 4, it projects only slightly beyond the upper edge of the mattress support frame 14.
As illustrated, the holder 2 of the device is mounted on the outside edges of the frames. However, by providing a shorter spacer 17, the holder can also be attached to the frame 14 on the inside of the frame member so that the post, when introduced into the holder, will move through the closest opening in the wire grid, which is usually provided for supporting the mattress, and, thus, the mattress is simply pushed slightly away by the presence of the post 1. With such an attachment of the holder 2 on the inside of the frame member 14, the bed can still be easily moved through doors and not have its width increased by the presence of the device.
A modification of the means for mounting or securing the post holder 2 on the side of a bed frame, such as a stationary bed, is illustrated in FIGS. 7-9. This mounting means includes two sheet metal parts 25 and 25′, which are joined together by rivets to form a U-shaped member for mounting on a side board 24. The post holder 2 is secured to the sheet metal part 25 with a clip or bracket 26, which is held by four screws which are threaded into rivet nuts 30, which were provided in a sheet metal part 25′. Two additional rivet nuts 29 are also provided and are connected to an L-shaped pressure plate 28 for pressing this plate against the surface of the side board 24. Rivet nuts are known in and of themselves and serve the purpose of providing a thin-wall structural element with a nut with female threads. Rivet nuts can be installed with specific drawing tools, for example a hand tool which is sold under the trade name "GESIPA". The rivet nuts 29 and 30 are mounted in the sheet part 25′ before the part 25′ and the part 25 are joined together by rivets. The employment of the pressure plate 28 prevents damage or, respectively, dents in the side board 24 of the bed frame. The fastening means shown in FIGS. 1-3 also has the advantage that expensive welding work for reinforcing material for the nut threads can be dispensed with given a cost-saving lightweight structure. The parts 25 and 25′ can also advantageously be composed of a plastic material. Given an appropriate, thorough reinforcement of the material, it would also be possible to replace the parts 25 and 25′ with a single U-shaped part and to introduce the nut threads for the pressure and fastening screws directly into these parts.
In the bed frame, as shown in FIGS. 4-6, the frame members are formed of a quadrangular square cross section. However, if the bed frame is formed of a tubular member having an oval shape, such as shown by the profile frame member 32, a different structure clamp is required. Clamp members 33 are matched to the shape of the profile of the frame member 32 and engage an angle piece 31, which has been welded to the post holder 2. As illustrated, these are clamped onto the angle pieces by a threaded member and a pair of the clamp members 33 are provided.
When the movable bed, which is standard for clinics and care fields, has a quadrangular mattress frame member, a fastening means, which is composed of two U-shaped fish plates or clamps 34 connected to one another by a web, which clamps can be tightened against the frame by two compression screws 35, can be provided. An inside surface of this U-shaped clamp member 34 is provided with a protective layer 36. The post holder 2 is firmly connected to the connecting web between the two clamps 34, such as by welding. The holder is provided with a set screw, such as 37, for the post. A counter-nut 38 serves the purpose of securing the position of the set screw 37.
Another modification of the mounting means, which is an especially low-outlay embodiment for movable beds that are preferably intended for quadrangular mattress frames that extend more into the inside of the bed, is illustrated in FIG. 12. In this embodiment, similar to the embodiment of FIG. 11, the post holder is merely secured to the mattress frame and is vertically adjusted with vertical movement of the frame. Only a single clamp member 39 is provided for embracing the mattress frame, wherein the legs of this clamp member are fashioned T-shaped, as can be seen in FIG. 12. An incision 40 is provided in the upper leg to allow the fastening device to be positioned closer to a raisable head part of the bed, and this is useful for a more comfortable raising of the patient.
Although various minor modifications may be suggested by those versed in the art, it should be understood that I wish to embody within the scope of the patent granted hereon all such modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of my contribution to the art.

A fitting theme for 2016: USU folklorists say creepy clowns year's hottest internet trend
Logan, UT – Utah State University researchers don't clown around when it comes to determining what trends dominated the internet in 2016.
USU's Digital Folklore Project has named the "creepy clowns" phenomenon as the 2016 Digital Trend of the Year. The winner is selected by ballot among folklorists nationwide who look at such factors as cultural significance and whether the trend fits the grassroots, common-people usage that identifies it as folklore.
Jeannie Thomas, who with Lynne McNeill directs the DFP, noted that while sightings of the terrorizing bozos have slowed in recent weeks, history has seen many cycles of this "rumor-legend complex."
"So, I expect the clowns will be back," said Thomas, who is also head of USU's English Department.
"You know," she jokes, "if you're a clown lurking in the woods now, those large, red shoes won't give you any traction in the ice and snow."
In second place was #NoDAPL and #StandingRock, a social justice-themed trend made popular by those joining the Standing Rock Sioux Nation in protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline, said Thomas.
The spring 2016 gathering at North Dakota's Standing Rock camp was an old-fashioned folk protest, but it quickly became a digital movement, said Thomas. Selfies and other images of individuals worldwide raising their fists in solidarity were widely shared, she said, with the result that "a classic folk gesture was turned into a social-media trend."
The creepy clown craze, while an interesting trend in itself, quickly became a means for people to comment on socially and cultural significance events like the presidential election, said Thomas.
McNeill, an assistant professor of English, agreed, adding that 2016 saw a massive up swelling of digital folk commentary, largely thanks to a contentious political landscape.
"The election created the perfect environment for memes of all kinds to emerge as people sought to express their feelings through shared cultural content," she said.

|Sago Palm.
|Botanical Name :
|Cycas revoluta
|Family :
|Cycadaceae(Sago Palm family)
This plant is very less seen at Bangladesh, but not rare at other parts of the world, specially at Japan where it is native. Common name of this plant is Sago Palm, though it is not a palm, rather its a cycads. In Bangladesh we call this Moniraj Ful(মনিরাজ ফুল) as it is found at the apex of the stem. Botanical name of this Sago palm is Cycas revoluta and belongs to the plant family Cycadaceae.
A female inflorescence of Moniraj(মনিরাজ ফুল)
Moniraj(মনিরাজ) is a very slow growing plant. Though you can improve it's growth by providing suitable condition, but still its a damn slow growing plant. This low growing plant(even you'll see leafs just above the soil) looks like palm trees. Scientists use to believe that this plant is contemporary to the Dinosaurs. Anyway, this lovely growing plant is very much capable for sustaining any weather condition starting from frost to drought. For it's lovely shape and orientation, people use this as ornamental plant at gardens.
A female inflorescence of Moniraj(মনিরাজ ফুল)
The inflorescence flower comes at the top of the stem, more preciously at the end of the stem. Flowers are having similar diameter alike the stem of the plant. Each tree can bring only one flower at a time. And more interestingly the male and female flowers are different and comes at different trees. After a successful pollination, the female flower brings seeds on it. Since its a slow growing plant, thus it requires hell lot of time to bring a flower on this tree.

Well, here we go.
Today, we're going to be talking about learning networks, and how we can use blogs, podcasts, wikis, and other learning tools to create them.
We're going to begin today here, an article in this month's Edutopia Magazine. The piece is written by Will Richardson, one of my teachers in the edublogosphere, the learning network that I call "home."
After we've read the piece, I'd like for you to take ten minutes and use the comments section of this post to write your thoughts about what you've just read, as well as any questions that this raises for you and/or anything you're hoping we can explore further today.
I won't lie to you -- it's my goal today to convince you that every person -- student, teacher, administrator, parent, or otherwise -- is a person of value who can contribute positively to a learning network. We've all got a lot to learn from each others' experiences, knowledge, questions and concerns.
And today, we're going to look at some of the nuts and bolts of that sharing.
Everyone's network starts with two essential pieces -- your input device and your output device. For us today, Blogger is for output, and Bloglines is for input. While we're a "writing project," We'll start with input today, and move on from there.
By the time you leave today, hopefully you'll have created a personal learning network, as well as populated it with some useful resources for you. Then, it's up to you to become a participant in the networked world. After you're proficient, it's time to get your students involved.
Anything else we accomplish is bonus.
A few links we'll probably end up using (although we might not):

Is Windows Phone becoming Android? That's the question a Fandroid asked me recently and here is his argument...
With information trickling in on what features and changes Windows Phone 8.1 is bringing to the platform, I can understand how that's a reasonable question.
When Microsoft first launched the Windows Phone over 3 years ago, they touted the message that this was a phone that would save us from our phones (our phones being Android and iOS devices).
And after I got the Lumia 900, I understood what they were talking about. Windows Phone was the simplest of smartphones, you went in did what you wanted to do and got out, not a lot of settings or customization to spend hours tweaking, it was just simple.
Here's the brilliant ad Microsoft put out back then regarding Windows Phone...
Windows Phone was nothing like Android or iOS. But as it turns out, after 3yrs+, that's not what smartphone users want after all.
Since the launch of WP7... then WP7.5 and now WP8, users have asked for one android-like feature to another iOS feature ported to the WP platform.
Take a look at Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Page where users submit features they want to see added to the platform, you get to vote on which ones you want, and the features with a lot of votes will be considered by the Windows Phone team.
You will find a lot of feature requests are in the context of "bring ??????? to WP, like it is on Android or iOS"
I agree there are features you absolutely must have on a smartphone to actually make it a smartphone, features like notification center, separate volume controls, file manager and more.
But features like transparent tiles, customisable background in the start screen, on-screen buttons are they totally necessary (not that I'm against them).
Because as more features are introduced (as they most certainly will in the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 update) we will have a settings page a mile long and sooner or later, the Windows Phone will be just like Android, unnecessary features, uncountable customization settings and the lot. resulting in OS crashes and even security vulnerabilities?
Windows Phone will no longer be saving you from your phone. Well that's the argument.
I think Windows Phone team is thriving to take those features that made Android the best and make them better, take for example the action center (recently leaked), it's not just a notification center, it's a smart notification center.
Adding these android or iOS features and making them even better, smarter will help users switch to the WP platform effortlessly. As long as Microsoft doesn't lose sight on why they made Windows Phone in the first place: Making it as simple as possible.

Steel cutting for the ship, the sixth built by the yard since its opening five years ago, begins just weeks after keel laying for the first tanker in the series. The second vessel is scheduled to be completed in 2007. The steel plates were cut on one of the yard's two plasma cutting machines. Once finished, the pieces will form part of the engine room of the 46,000 dwt product tanker. Upon completion, the tankers will be owned by American Shipping Corporation, a subsidiary of Aker American Shipping. Source: WPVI-TV

The Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, written and refined during the years leading up to the founding of the Society of Jesus, are at the heart of what is called "Ignatian spirituality." This sequence of prayers and meditations, and guidelines for understanding God's action in one's life, form a remarkable spiritual resource which remains just a powerful today as was the case in the 16th century.
"Ignatian spirituality" references not only the Exercises but also certain characteristics that have become linked with this pattern of prayer such as "finding God in all things," "discernment of spirits," and "choosing for the greater glory of God."
There is much to explore and learn about Ignatian spirituality, both as a significant set of prayer guidelines and as a cornerstone of the Jesuit charism underlying all Jesuit institutions, including universities.
This web page is designed to provide users with a wide variety of web links and resources in the topical area of Ignatian spirituality.

Really to buy a best obd2 bluetooth scanner?
Then you've come to the right place.
OBDII Bluetooth scanners are new and exciting products in car diagnostics.
Since we have just about everything else on our mobile devices these days, it's really nice to get detailed info about our car on a screen we already use every day.
Let's take a look at some of the top selling Bluetooth OBDII scanners.
|Included App
|BAFX 34t5
|See Details
|See Details
|OBDLink LX
|See Details
|OBDLink MX
|See Details
|Android/Windows Phone
|See Details
We Reviewed 5 Best OBD2 Bluetooth Adapters on the market. Here's What We Talk About!
1. BAFX 34t5 Bluetooth Obd2 Reader for Android
This is a very popular Bluetooth scanner for good reasons.
Most scanners at this price point do not include J1850 and CAN protocols, but this one does.
You can be confident that this will work on all OBDII vehicles model 1996 and newer.
Bafx doesn't include a mobile app, but it does come with PC software. It communicates easily with your Android device and works nicely with third-party apps.
Really hard to beat this scanner in this price range due to its versatility.
2. BlueDriver Bluetooth Professional OBDII Scan Tool for iPhone, iPad & Android
Even though this is the most expensive scanner on our list.
Bluedriver still offers an outstanding value!
It's the only one that is compatible with both Android and iOS, so it's already the most versatile.
People are happy to pay just under $100 for this scanner because of the excellent features it offers.
Bluedriver comes with a user-friendly app that's very intuitive with the scanner that plugs into the diagnostic port.
It displays information clearly without much clutter on the screen. It has the useful feature of reading and diagnosing problems with ABS and SRS on top of reading regular trouble codes.
A feature unique to the BlueDriver is the database of over 4.3 million fixes for specific problems on specific vehicles.
Instead of just telling you what's wrong, the app can actually tell you how to fix it.
The fixes are verified by real mechanics so you know you're getting good information.[/cta_box_4]
3. OBDLink LX OBD Bluetooth Code Reader
Right around the middle of the price range for Bluetooth scanners is the OBDLink LX.
This one is intended to be left plugged into your car constantly collecting data.
It not only acts as a diagnostic tool, but it can also give you accurate information about the performance of your car. It can act as an MPG tracker, real-time performance monitor, and trip computer.
OBDLink LX comes with an app for reading, saving, and graphing your data.
It's an excellent app with beautiful digital gauges and an overall pleasant user interface.
It's big on security and speed.
It claims to be four times faster than the leading competitor.
That means quick, real-time data and very little waiting around for scan results.
A sophisticated multi-layer security system keeps hackers from getting any of the data you collect.
A couple things this scanner is lacking is iOS support and ABS/SRS monitoring.
It's a good, mid-range scanner and if you don't see yourself needing those lacking features it would be a great pick.
4. OBDLink MX OBDII Bluetooth Scan Tool
The OBDLink MX is extremely similar to the OBDLink LX.
Like the LX, it's intended to be kept plugged into the car and it operates on the same app.
Only difference, the MX can read a couple more protocols than the LX can.
The MX can read single-wire CAN (GMLAN) and Ford medium-speed CAN (MS-CAN).
You like the OBDLink LX, but you need a tool that can read those specific protocols, then the MX is the scanner for you.
If you don't need those capabilities, then this scanner simply isn't worth the extra cost.
5. Veepeak Bluetooth OBD2 Reader Adapter
The Veepeak Bluetooth scanner is the budget proposition of this list.
At only around $15, it offers plenty of bang for the buck.
If you're looking for a basic, low-cost scanner that can link up to your mobile device via Bluetooth, this is the unit for you.
It doesn't come with an app, but it works just fine with third-party apps like Torque.
Shop around on the Android or Windows marketplace and find an app that you like.
This particular model is compatible with Android and Windows Phone. It's getting harder to find scanners compatible with the mobile Windows operating system so get this one while you can if you have a Windows phone.
Right Now! Let's Choose One…
The Bluetooth scanner I recommend the most is the BlueDrive.
[Click Here to Buy It Now on Amazon.com]
It's a little expensive, but it's absolutely worth the price.
The app is terrific, the device is easy to use, and the database of repairs is an outstanding resource. It takes the next step after diagnosing a problem by offering a solution. Not to mention it's the only scanner on the list compatible with iOS.
The best value is the Veepeak.
[Click Here to Buy It Now on Amazon.com]
There are a lot of scanners out there perfectly capable of reading and clearing trouble codes and this one does a perfectly adequate job of doing just that.
If you want something basic with Bluetooth, the Veepeak is a terrific value.
Why OBD2 Bluetooth Scanners?
I'm personally a big fan of OBD2 Bluetooth Scanners for lots of reasons.
Before we had Bluetooth scanners, messing around with a diagnostic tool was kind of a pain. You had to plug the wired scanner into the car and mess around with a clunky user interface and buttons that didn't work half the time.
With Bluetooth Scanners, you can use your mobile device with an extremely intuitive app. They become so much easier to use when they're on your smartphone or tablet.
You used to have to pay big money if you wanted a scanner with a full color screen. Now it's standard thanks to our phones and tablets.
The fact that they're totally wireless is a nice perk as well.
Bluetooth scanners are great options for gearheads and mechanics who do everything else on their smartphone or tablet already. The convenience and advanced tech of Bluetooth OBDII scanners just make your mobile device that much more useful.
Questions you should answer before buy an obd2 bluetooth scanner:
Like anything else in life, you need to consider how you're actually going to use this product when you're shopping for it.
- Do you just need something that can read and clear codes, but don't want to mess with wires?
- How often will you use it?
- Is the scanner you like compatible with your vehicle and mobile device?
- Want something more advanced that can read ABS and SRS codes?
- Are you picky about what app you can use?
- What's your budget?
Asking yourself these questions can easily help narrow down which one is right for you.
Bonus: Click here to see the Buying Guide [the guide aslo includes a bonus INFOGRAPHIC] that will show you things to consider for choosing an OBD2 scanner that's right for you.
It's easy to find scanners that are compatible with your vehicle.
However, it's still always a good idea to make sure the scanners you're looking at will work with your car. Your vehicle might use an unusual interface that isn't universally common in diagnostic equipment.
The way these Bluetooth scanners communicate with our mobile devices is through short-range radio signals. While Bluetooth is a fairly new technology, it's rooted in old fashion radio waves. The scanner and the smartphone or tablet give off the same frequency and that's how they link up and communicate.
Since it's just radio waves, it's quick and easy to pair devices.
Now that you know a little more about Bluetooth OBDII diagnostic equipment and a few of the big sellers on the market, decide which tool is right for you!
There's something out there for everyone from the casual enthusiast to the hardcore professional.
Buy the scanner that fits your wants and needs.
You'll be glad you did!
The Bottom Line
Don't forget! If you have a question or thought, make sure to leave a comment right now.

If you favour shopping online from the comfort of your bed/the office/after a few too many vinos on a Friday night, you'll be thrilled to know shopping Tiffany & Co. has found a new digital home—at least for a little while.
14 of Tiffany & Co.'s covetable styles will make a cameo on luxury online retailer Net-A-Porter from April 27, meaning you can take advantage of the site's speedy shipping turnaround and immaculate black packaging (in addition to the classic Tiffany Blue boxes).
The collaboration will begin with an edit of the jeweller's incredibly popular 'Tiffany T' collection, but we have our fingers crossed the range will expand, and that Tiffany & Co. becomes a mainstay for one of our beloved online retailers.
Pieces from the Tiffany & Co. 'Tiffany T' collection that will be available to purchase from Net-A-Porter as of April 27

Damon Albarn's "virtual band" Gorillaz will replace rockers U2 to headline Britain's Glastonbury Festival, after the Irish megaband pulled out, organisers said Wednesday.
The world's largest greenfield music and performing arts festival was thrown into disarray after U2 were forced to pull out after frontman Bono was rushed to hospital.
The Irish group were due to headline on the main Pyramid Stage on June 25, the first of the festival's three main days.
But they had to abandon their slot after singer Bono had emergency back surgery for temporary "paralysis".
Among the other artists reported to have been in contention for the slot were British rapper Dizzee Rascal, who was next on the bill, Coldplay, and even Led Zeppelin.
Festival organiser Michael Eavis said "a crisis" had been averted.
"This is going to be Gorillaz' only UK festival appearance, and it'll be a massive audiovisual spectacle which will really ignite the Pyramid," he said.
"I'm very excited about Gorillaz' show coming here because they're so open to guests and collaborations.
"The alchemy of Friday's show is going to be astonishing: a perfect, contemporary way to kick off the 40th anniversary celebrations."
Albarn's other outfit, the Britpop band Blur, closed last year's festival after reforming.
Gorillaz -- a "virtual band" with four animated members -- is a collaboration between Albarn and cartoonist Jamie Hewlett, with various musicians joining Albarn on stage and on record.
They have recently released "Plastic Beach", their third studio album.
Murdoc Niccals, the animated band's leader, was quoted as saying: "We're like some great big horrible warship pulling in to the Bay of Glastonbury to save the day.
"It was us or The Beatles and they split up years ago. The previous soldiers got pulled from duty last minute so it's up to my 'Plastic Beach' naval cavalry to sail in and sort the battlefield out.
"I can assure you though, I'm bringing extra troops. Loads of them. Glastonbury will be ours -- cutlasses drawn, trumpets ready. We're coming in."

First, there was the Oscar De La Hoya versus Floyd Mayweather fight, which proved that a sport more irrelevant than hockey exists.
AP Photo/Tom Strattman
Seriously, does ANYONE watch the Indy 500 anymore?
In this here-today, gone-today sports world, it's always amazing to see how quickly things slip into irrelevancy. There was a time when the possibility of a Serena versus Venus meeting at the French Open was big news, but that matchup jumped the shark years ago.
While "Mr. Irrelevant" is the nickname assigned to the final pick in the NFL draft, it turns out he has plenty of company in the sporting world. Here are some other things in sports deserving of the 255th pick:
Miami versus Florida State
For almost 20 years, this was the definitive rivalry in college football. Now it's as anticipated as the next Luther Campbell album. With Florida's national title win, Miami's refurbishment project and Florida State's disturbing self-esteem issues, the Gators have firmly seized control of the state, and the college sports world.
Before, you couldn't imagine a time when both Miami and FSU would be on dual, multiyear rebuilding projects. Their police blotter antics were once cool and rebellious. But FSU and Miami are tragic examples of Programs Gone Wild.
Steroid use in the NFL
A marquee defensive player fails a steroids test, and the reaction is akin to finding out Lindsay Lohan still can't shake the Tanqueray.
In other words: So when is that fantasy football draft again?
As soon as people allow their blood pressure to decrease from Barry Bonds' pursuit of the all-time home run record, maybe they'll remember that the NFL's recent performance-enhancing drug scandals rival BALCO. The NFL is routinely praised for being ahead of the curve on steroids, but we've seen Shawne Merriman -- the Defensive Rookie of the Year -- busted for violating the league's steroids policy; the 2004 Carolina Panthers Super Bowl team linked to a steroid scandal; and the physician for the Pittsburgh Steelers implicated in a steroids raid in Orlando.
Yet people are more concerned about the cost of NFL Sunday Ticket.
Olympic innocence
Back in the day, American fans were honored and humbled by Team USA's winning a gold medal, and proud of the players no matter where they finished.
Now it's acceptable to boo and carry disdain for U.S. teams that do not meet our ridiculous expectations, and act as if the Cold War has been reborn. Screw the rest of the world for having national pride and the resources to compete with us, right? Bastards.

Bob Huggins returned home to his alma mater this past offseason.
Which is worth more: a check from Mike Tyson, or a college basketball coach's contract?
Answer: It's a trick question. Both are worthless.
Bob Huggins left Kansas State for West Virginia after one season, even though K-State rescued him from coaching purgatory. Billy Gillispie agreed to terms with Texas A&M, but never got around to signing the deal -- instead he bolted for Kentucky.
And yet the NCAA makes "student-athletes" sit out an entire season if they transfer. That makes about as much sense as the Minnesota law that forbids someone to cross state lines with a duck on his/her head. And no, I didn't make that up.
Larry Brown
Just three years removed from becoming the first coach to win both an NCAA and NBA title, Brown has gone to the mattresses.
He's still one of the best NBA coaches in history, but his fall from grace is as distinctive as his place in basketball history. Don't feel too sorry for Brown, though. Between the 76ers, Pistons and Knicks, he's hauled in enough cash to make Roger Clemens jealous.
The lovable loser
One day Cubs fans will be less enamored with drunken afternoons at Wrigley and placing blame on a billy goat, and more enthralled by winning. But when they are, the Earth will look something like "28 Weeks Later."
In terms of breaking the Sports Ten Commandments, embracing a reputation for losing is right below rooting for your team to tank so you can get a high draft pick. There is nothing lovable or endearing about failing to win.
Even though Red Sox fans are dangerously close to assuming the arrogance of Yankee fans, give them credit for not reverting back to their woe-is-me attitude when they didn't make the playoffs last year.
NFL records
NFL records just aren't as sexy as baseball records. Sure, we know Emmitt Smith is the all-time leading rusher, and that Dan Marino is the all-time leading passer. But those records don't give us the same chills as Hank Aaron's 755 home runs, Pete Rose's 4,256 hits or Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak. When significant baseball records are broken, it's an event that stimulates national conversation. In football, it's a distraction from the next play.
Athletes who rap
Let's hope the abominable athlete-rapper albums of the past have finally encouraged all athletes to stay away from the microphone and 808 machines. They gained false confidence from Shaq's respectable pairing with the Fu-Schnickens, which led to a torrent of horrific albums by people like Roy Jones, Allen Iverson and Tony Parker.
AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli
Artest shockingly didn't get a Grammy nod for his album.
5. Deion Sanders: "Must Be The Money" should have been registered with Amnesty International as a crime against humanity. The same could also be said about Deion's jheri curl.
4. Cedric Ceballos: His decision to bleach his hair blond during the 1997 season was genius compared to his release of "Nuff Ced" seven years ago.
3. Chris Webber: If I had remembered the "2 Much Drama" album, I would have openly rooted for him to do jail time for the Fab Five fiasco.
2. Ron Artest: Most memorable lyric: "David Stern! Damn, David Stern. I gotta teach you 'bout the ghetto there's some things you should learn."
1. Kobe Bryant: Sorry, I mean K.O.B.E, which was the title of his disaster. It's hard to earn the dubious distinction of making an album that's so bad it's never released. By the way, the next time Tyra Banks starts thinking she's the next Oprah, someone remind her she sang on "K.O.B.E."
The charitable contributions of athletes
Of course they're not irrelevant to the people who are helped. But as much as the public likes to bluster periodically about not being given enough positive news, the lack of interest in those stories proves most people don't care if athletes invoke the spirit of Mother Teresa or not. Carmelo Anthony is the only NBA player in the Giving Back Fund's list of 30 celebrities who made the largest public donations to charities in 2006. Melo, who ranked an impressive eighth, donated $4.2 million to various charities last year. But tattoos, cornrows and 50 Cent's destruction of the NBA are a much bigger story.

Plymouth, FL (PressExposure) November 11, 2009 -- The World Wide Web has grown into a real jungle, and finding cool new websites nowadays isn't always the easiest thing to do. There is plethora of Websites out there. Each website has its unique design, content, markup, features, functionality, and in myriad other ways.
There certainly is! Here are the common denominators that can strengthen the Orlando web design:
A Meaningful Headline: When I say a meaningful headline, I am referring to the title tag of HTML, which is ideally shown on the title bar of the browser. Ideally it should complement the content of your website.
⢠Proper organization of the links wit the menu. ⢠Link styling: active, hover or: focus.
Use the standardize markup for its designated purpose. Do not go overboard by stretching it usage. The practice of using semantic markup helps ensure forward compatibility apart from accessibility and usability.
Accessibility: Your Website should be accessible. Accessible web sites are compliant with web standards, ensuring cross-browser compatibility, ease of maintenance and a lot more.
A Site Map: It is not necessary that all visitors who are coming to your website require using it or in any case if your website is of five pages, it requires one. Start working on your site map as soon as your website starts growing and it is advisable to add it from the beginning. On small sites I will prefer to incorporate the site map into a "site help" or "site info" page, killing it in one go-accessibility and copyright statements, privacy policy, etc.
Contact Information: Even if your website is in obfuscated, it is not viable to use your email address. To facilitate this, offering a phone number and address is good, if possible, and a contact form is a nice option in lieu of a mailto: email link that not all visitors will be able to use anyway. Use a secure contact form.
An Error Page: Make a good 404 error page offering a site map on the page (easy with dynamic site maps), search, even contact info, and more.
Jump Links: A jump link give users the opportunity to jump down the page to the content or navigation, by-pass lengthy sections, access help content, and jump back up the page if you consider a top link or back to menu link a jump link. It's best to make them visible on the page, but not always necessary. There are ways which allow you to hide them too from view while still maintaining a high level of accessibility and usability to a very large percentage of users.
There is still left but if it all is incorporated in the website, you may find, yourself actually being noticed.

wikiHow to Compile a C File Using Tiny C Compiler
One Methods:Hello wikiHowCommunity Q&A
If you're looking to produce efficient, fast and small compiled code look toward the Tiny C Compiler. It can compile your C files quickly and produce fast-running and smaller code with the nearly full support of ISO99. It also takes a fraction of the space that GNU C Compiler requires.
1Create and save a C file. Do something simple like printing "Hello wikiHow".
2Open up the terminal or command prompt
3Change the directory to the C file.
4Compile the C code. Type tcc -o hello hello.c in the terminal or command prompt. This will generate a program called hello in the same directory. The -o parameter specifies the name and location of the output file.
5Run the program. From the terminal type ./hello or in the command prompt type hello.exe.
Hello wikiHow
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main()
printf("Hello wikiHow!\n");

- Read the manual or online documentation for additional options (man tcc from the terminal if in Linux)
- Follow the official website
- Join the mailing list
- It's good practice to organize your code into projects and folders and not leave all of the files in the home or current directory.

Since June 2005, USAID enforces a policy directive on accessible construction and reconstruction
IFC performance standards require considering the needs of vulnerable people, including individuals with disabilities
Bi-lateral donors (GTZ, DFID, AusAID) have introduced policies to include disability in their programs
EU Directive for Equal Treatment in Employment and Occupation (2000)
In a general sense, accessibility is a feature which allows an environment, object or instrument to be used safely and independently.
For technical use, it is a stringent set of standards that have been mandated nationally or internationally for the construction of the built environment for the use by persons with disabilities.
Accessible latrine Design
Entrance on grade allows access by all.
Inaccessible latrine
Step at entry prevents use by wheelchair users
Addressing barriers in the physical environment may be among the easiest barriers to resolve, and often a precursor to achieving parity for people with disabilities in other areas.
"The design of products and environments, programs and services to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without need for adaptation or specialized design." (CRPD, Article 2)
Concept, approach, goal
Benefits entire population
Participatory and Local specific
Not an international/national standards
1. Equitable Use
2. Flexibility in Use
3. Simple and Intuitive Use
4. Perceptible Information
5. Tolerance for Error
6. Low Physical Effort
7. Size and Space for Approach and Use
The principle of accessibility is based on the principle of non-discrimination and the full participation of people with disabilities in all aspects of life.
The CRPD emphasizes that limited access or lack of accessibility in various ways often results in human rights violations.
Article 9 stipulates States must implement programs of action to make physical, social and technological environments more equitable and accessible.
Articles 21 and 24 further address accessibility in information and education.
World Bank lending for infrastructure-related programs and projects rose toUS$11.7 billion dollars during fiscal year 2008.
Further increases anticipated in public spending by governments on infrastructure in response to the fiscal crisis anticipated.
Consistent with the Sustainable Infrastructure Action Plan, 2007- 2011.
Transport Sector issued guidelines for inclusive transportation
HDNSP and SDV collaborated on a Social Analysis and Disability guidance note
Publication Design for All: Implication for Bank Operations
Forthcoming publication/training on Accessible BRT in LCR
FURL: DisabilityToolkit
HDN, SDN, LEG and OPCS (with input from the regions) produced an Action Plan to Introduce Universal Design in Bank-Financed Projects
Accessibility is primarily a project design and technical specifications matter, and indirectly a procurement one
By implementing UD, the Bank would be proactively aligning itself with the tenets of the CRPD and other development agencies.
