One of signals that something may be wrong with a Kanban implementation is when the Kanban board's design doesn't change over time. Of course it is more likely that rapid changes of the board will be happening during early stages of the Kanban implementation, but even in mature teams a board that looks exactly like it did a year ago is sort of a warning light. For very fresh Kanban teams I would expect that board design would differ month-to-month.
Actually, a stalled board is more a symptom than a problem on its own. The root cause is likely the fact that the team stopped improving their process. On one hand, it is a common situation that at the beginning the potential for change is significantly higher and it diminishes over time. On the other, I've yet to see a perfect team that doesn't need to improve their processes at all.
In such cases, what can one do to catalyze opportunities to discuss the board design?
One idea that comes in very handy is to watch for situations in which any team member takes an index card to update its status and, for whatever reasons, struggles to find the right place on the board to put the card. It may be so because there isn't relevant stage in the value stream, or the work currently done isn't in line with the rest of process, or a task is sort of specific, or what have you. This kind of situation is a great trigger to start a discussion on the board's alignment to what the team really does and how the work is done.
Another idea is to dedicate a retrospective just to discuss the board. Such a constrained retro can be a natural opportunity to look for board-related issues or improvements in this area. I think about a class of issues that might not be painful enough to be brought as biggest problems to solve on regular basis, but, at the same time, we know that tiny changes in the board design or WIP limits can introduce tremendous changes in people's behavior.
There is also a bigger gun – a significant board face-lift. Following the idea that Jim Benson shared during his ACE Conference keynote, teams find it easy to describe and define about 80% of processes they follow. The rest seems vague and that's always a tricky part when you think about value stream mapping. This is, by the way, totally aligned with my experience with such exercises – I've yet to meet a team that can define the way they work instantly and without arguing.
Of course, introduction of visualization helps to sort this one out although it's not that rare that we fall into a trap of idealizing our flow or just getting used to whatever is on the board.
Then you can always use the ultimate weapon and redesign your board from scratch. Probably people will have in mind the board you've just wiped out and will mimic it to some point. Anyway, odds are that if you start a discussion from the beginning – the moment when work items of different classes of services arrive to the team –some new insight will pop up, helping you to improve the board.
On a side note: it is also a good moment to discuss what you put on an index card exactly; I treat it as an integral part of board design, as you will need a different design for standard-sized work items and different for highly-variable projects on portfolio board.

How to Deal When Your Kids' Friends Are A Bad Influence
I swear everyone in our town has suddenly come out of hibernation.
After months and months of being cooped up, suddenly everyone's out and about, the park is bustling and spring sports are ramping up.
Which means lots of fun and lots of excitement, and lots of new kids to chum around with.
But sometimes our kids don't always share our taste when it comes to choosing their friends, and before we know it our sweet little Jeremy has morphed into a carbon copy of his new pack of friends — and not always in a good way… [Read more…]
What To Do When Your Toddler Won't Stop Waking The Baby
I once heard someone say that one child is one and two is a million — and I don't know about you, but in my personal experience I'd say that's pretty darn accurate, especially when it comes to sleep.
With my first I have memories of attending to his sleep cues, putting him down for naps or for the night after a lovely ritual of bath time, books and cuddles. Really special one-on-one time where we could go at our own pace completely uninterrupted and on our own terms.
And I completely took it for granted. [Read more…]
Disciplining Other People's Kids: When Minding Your Business Isn't An Option
I'm pretty hands off when it comes to my kids' conflicts.
Sure, I coach them through scuffles and break things up when it gets too intense, but for the most part I'm a fan of letting them work things out on their own. In our house it's not unusual to hear royal rumbles erupting or to walk in on a wrestling match, and unless someone's yelling uncle I tend to keep my nose out of it.
Today after school was no exception, my son and I enjoying some time at the park before heading home, when some "big kids" started wrestling on the ground beside us. [Read more…]

Replacing Stock Heat Sink With New
Having reformatted my hard-drive in an attempt to repair a suspected memory leak I have now re-installed all of my software. At the time I understood/envisaged Dell Datasafe Restore would ensure all my data and programs would remain in place, why I will never know?! Anyway, I now lament not having taken the opportunity presented to install an Artic Freezer 7 Pro. My simple question is if I replace the Dell stock heat sink with the Freezer 7 Pro, cleaning the upper surface of the processor chip without removing it from its housing, will the OS and all installed programs remain intact?
I appreciate in advance all assistance given.
Many thanks.

I recommend this kit and a slew of q-tips. Go slow and get all old thermal paste off both surfaces. Then place a lentil sized drop of AC-5 into the center of the CPU and install. If we can help with further instructions please just ask. Many youtube instructions also available, just remember less is more!

That kit will last many cooler changes and I love how the #1 solution breaks the paste down and will remove all trace then solution #2 which is like a quick drying vapor takes the hint of film and residue away leaving a perfectly clean and dry surface.

Kujak competes for scholar status
Michael Kujak may be named a "scholar" before he even graduates from River Falls High School June 4.
"It's getting really close," he said about graduation.
Kujak received an official letter from the U.S. Department of Education recently, naming him a candidate in the Presidential Scholars Program.
He didn't realize what a top honor his candidacy is but began to get an idea through the very involved application process.
Kujak's test scores and grade point average (GPA) earned him recognition and played a big part in him getting named as a Scholar candidate.
The scholastic achievement test (SAT) offers the chance to score 2400 points - Kujak scored 2180.
To get a perfect score on the ACT test, a student must get 36 points - Kujak scored 35.
He maintains a 4.0 GPA, sharing that status with four other students at River Falls High School.
He said, "I have a pretty smart class."
The U.S. Department of Education picked 2,600 Presidential Scholar candidates out of the 2.8 million students who graduate this spring.
Those selected as candidates represent the cream of the country's graduating crop. They belong to an elite group: The top 1/10th, of the top one percent, of American high school seniors.
It's been going on for 42 years: The Presidential Scholarship Program names a big pool of candidates, narrows that to a group of 500 semifinalists then picks one male and one female scholar from each American state including Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.
The program also picks 15 at-large students, up to 20 from the creative and performing arts and a male and female scholar from students living abroad.
The President appoints a commission of 32 people that selects the Scholars. This year's winners will be announced sometime in June.
Commission members consider multiple aspects of a student's life: Academic and artistic achievements, leadership qualities, strong character and involvement in community and school activities.
They also look at student essays, self assessments, activity descriptions, school recommendations and school transcripts.
Eighteen-year-old Kujak said of the application process, "I spent a lot of time on it."
He had to write four short essays and one long one that was 650 words. He had to gather letters of recommendation and have the principal complete paperwork. He had to answer a lot of questions he'd never had to answer before.
For example, his long essay question required him to pick a picture and write a story about it. He picked a picture of himself with a medieval catapult that he and a neighbor built together.
Kujak said it's a trebuchet, but most people know it as a catapult. It's the contraption that was used for hurling rocks into or over castle walls during the Middle Ages.
The trebuchet in the picture Kujak submitted is the second one he's built. The first was a model, not capable of hurling rocks. His next was a full-scale model, capable of doing damage.
He said it's a long story that all started when he saw a show about them on a public-TV channel, which led to finding plans for one on the Internet and building it.
Kujak's dad, Paul, laughed and said, "Whenever the neighbor and Michael are looking for lumber, I usually know where it's going."
Scholar's schedule
Kujak said "Science is my favorite subject, definitely, especially physics."
He said music runs a very close second, "I'm in a lot of music."
Kujak either has participated in or still does jazz band, marching band, barbershop quartet, concert band and choir, soccer, tennis, basketball and a musical play called "Fame."
He said he participates in the Lifeteen mass as St. Bridget church, which is a service geared toward high-school and college-age youths. Young folks do all the work at the Lifeteen Mass, like singing and playing, reading and ushering.
He also attends Advanced Placement (AP) classes in American Studies and American Literature. He was named a National Merit Scholarship finalist earlier in the school year and belongs to the national honor society and the high school philosophy club
Kujak's dad Paul deems that group "the great philosophers of River Falls."
He could already read well by the first grade. The Kujaks got a piano when he was 5 years old and enrolled him in piano lessons soon after that.
His mom Barb said, "At first the piano teacher (Marcia Scheurman) said no to lessons."
She usually doesn't start lessons until kids get into third grade and can read well. After she had Kujak in class a short time, she came back and said he was ready for lessons."
Principal's perspective
High school Principal Elaine Baumann answered questions about Kujak and completed paperwork for the application, too.
She said it asked her such things as how long she's known Michael, how she views his character and whether he's overcome adversity in his academic life.
"Michael is one of the most well-rounded persons I know. He has been very active in sports, music and his church. I cannot think of a more deserving student to receive this honor," Baumann said.
She said the honor Kujak earned shows the caliber of students that River Falls High School has and that the school offers challenges to meet their capacity. Baumann also said it's the first time in her tenure that a River Falls High School student has been picked as a Scholar candidate.
"It has been great having Mike in school. I have watched Mike grow up from a little kid at St. Bridget's and was always delighted by his confidence and humbleness.
I am very proud of Michael and I am very proud of our school."
Past, future
Kujak said he'll attend UW-Madison this fall to study engineering and will graduate in four years with a Bachelor of Science degree.
He'll leave behind his Mom, Dad, younger sister Amy, and younger brother David, but likes that he'll be close enough to visit.
The degree he plans to walk away with is called engineering mechanics.
Kujak said, "It's more theoretical than regular engineering."
Kujak said that while he really likes his high school, he enjoyed attending St. Bridget's Parish School, where he went through the 8th grade. He liked the individual attention he got there and remembers the school's lesson of the three Rs: Respect, responsibility, religion.
Barb said, "It really helped shape him as a young man."
The young Scholar candidate makes it clear that he's "very much enjoyed" his time at both schools in River Falls.
"There are a lot of people who've taught me so much. There are a lot of people who have helped me and I think that's really cool."

Non Toxic Skin Lightening Cream
New skin whitening products are making its way to the market every year. They are one of the hottest selling products in the skin care industry. But some brands are not safe to use because they use toxic materials.
The legislation is slow to take action, failing to protect you from questionable harmful ingredients found in skin bleaching creams.
One of the potential risk ingredients that I'm talking about is hydroquinone.
I believe you can find safer and non-toxic skin lighteners to fade your hyperpigmentation.
Why Should You Avoid Skin Bleaching Products With Hydroquinone
You may already know that hydroquinone is a powerful lightening agent. It can inhibit the melanin processing in the melanocytes. That is why it can reduce dark spots effectively.
There is a risk of using hydroquinone to lighten pigmentation spots. Do your research on the Internet. You should find cases of ochronosis. It is a permanent skin discoloration that is caused by long-term usage of hydroquinone.
If it doesn't freak you out enough, check out the studies on the potential carcinogen of hydroquinone. Researchers tested this chemical on rats and found that the rats experienced a high incidence of tumors.
Because of the potential risk of hydroquinone abuse, the European Union has banned all skin care products from using hydroquinone.
Sadly, other countries are not taking prompt actions to implement such restrictions.
If you are considering a nontoxic skin lightening cream for safety reasons, you should take a look at Meladerm.
Facts About Meladerm, The Best Skin Whitener With No Hydroquinone
If you use a skin lightening cream without questionably dangerous ingredients, your skin is very unlikely to have breakout or irritation. Also, you have the confidence to use it on your skin without any fear that it can cause severe medical conditions in the future.
Meladerm is not only free of hydroquinone, but it does not contain mercury and steroids, another widely used toxic lightening agents.
Its revolutionary formulation consists of an optimal blend of botanical extracts such as arbutin, kojic acid, licorice, gigawhite, and mulberry. They have been found to be as effective as hydroquinone but without any serious side effects.
Of course, Meladerm will take a longer time to reduce dark spots and even out your skin tone than hydroquinone creams. The consolation bonus is that you don't have to deal with the possible side effects or toxicity such as cancer and ochronosis.
If you are looking for the safest skin lightener, then I have no doubt that Meladerm is the one.

What I liked
At my son's dermatology appointment he was seen on time and the consultant was very friendly and approachable, keeping us fully informed of treatment options and asking if we had any questions. The treatment was very good.
What could be improved
We had quite a long wait at the hospital pharmacy - but it was very busy.

The Police and the Criminal Evidence Act (P.A.C.E.) 1984 and the Youth Justice Board National Standards require that any young person aged between 10 and 17 years of age inclusive, whilst being interviewed under caution at the police station, must have an Appropriate Adult in attendance. YSS developed a volunteer Appropriate Adult service for 10-17 year olds being detained in Police Custody in 1999 and have a team of volunteers throughout West Mercia delivering this service to young people. The service is commissioned by West Mercia Youth Offending Service.
EnHance (Shropshire Early Help)
EnHance is a targeted service commissioned by Shropshire Council to provide Early Help support for children young people and their families when their needs cannot be met by routine universal services. The EnHance Service is provided by YSS as the lead partner, in con-junction with Shropshire Home-Start. EnHance keyworkers are co located with partner agencies around the county. The aim of the EnHance Service is to improve outcomes for children and young people by ensuring that they and their families receive appropriate support at the earliest opportunity.
EnHance is an integral part of Shropshire's Early Help offer and provides a flexible service to build resilience in children, young people and their families, helping children have a safe, happy and healthy family life. The service offers a wide range of support that can be measured in terms of effectiveness, impact and outcomes.
Support is time limited, can be delivered on a one to one basis or in groups in the local community (school and/or home settings), at flexible times and to meet identified needs. The work is carried out by keyworkers in partnership with parents/carers as well as other agencies involved.
Service Criteria
- Aged 0-19
- Resident in Shropshire
- Evidence of unmet need requiring targeted support
- Parent/carer gives consent
The child/young person shouldn't have a need that is so complex that it requires support from a specialist service, although referrals may be taken from specialist services.
EnHance offers
- A key worker to offer 1 to 1 support for the child/young person
- Parent/ carer support provided by key workers on an individual basis or in groups
Here are examples of the support we can offer:
Children and Young People:
- Help with managing anger
- Improving relationship
- Improving school attendance
- Develop confidence and self esteem
- Parenting strategies
- Improving family relationships

This week, we are talking about butterflies! To get started, we took a couple of field trips. During breakfast, I asked Jonah if he's ever seen butterflies in our yard. I asked him what colors of butterflies he's seen? Were they big or little? How many has he seen? What were they doing when he saw them? Where were they?
Then we headed outside to see if we could observe butterflies in our yard.
Because we didn't see very many butterflies in our yard, we headed to the Cleveland Zoo, where an exhibit called "Flutter" puts visitors in a green house full of beautiful butterflies and demonstrates how butterflies change from caterpillars to elegant winged creatures.

Rita Stirparo
I was first introduced to yoga in 2001. I felt a calmness in my first class that was unfamiliar yet very soothing. I began a series of weekly classes and noticed how the chatter in my mind would decrease, even if only for the time I was practicing. My body became stronger and my mind, quieter. My desire to experience the depths of yoga led me to complete my 200 hour teacher training with the Himalayan Institute. I have since completed a YIN Yoga teacher training, Therapeutic Yoga intensive training, Yoga for Cancer Teacher Training and continue to attend various classes and workshops to expand my knowledge and understanding. I am dedicated to the study and practice of yoga and am honored to share my passion with others. My intention for each class is to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere to practice asana, pranayama and meditation, for I agree with the sages that, by focusing attention on the breath, the mind ceases its fluctuations. I encourage students to smile and enjoy each moment on this journey of exploration.
Jennifer Sweigart
A former principal dancer with the Nashville Ballet Company and avid runner and cyclist, Jennifer discovered yoga as a result of sustaining a hip fracture. After experiencing the healing benefits of the discipline, she quickly realized the peace and calm that carried over to daily life. She likes to work hard, and challenge herself and her students, providing them with a solid foundation in vinyasa yoga. However, her ultimate goal is to convey the sense of peace that can be achieved when the mind, body, and breath are unified through yoga. Jennifer is graduate of the University of Delaware and is a 200hr Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. She has also worked with Yoga Across America, and Dr.Oz's Health Corp, teaching yoga to public school children.

I think you want to read the Holy Quran. For that you may visit any nearby mosque or contact any Muslim in your vicinity. You will certainly get it. But make sure that if you don't understand Arabic you need to get its translation in your language .
In the same way that there is no original copy of the Bible, there is no original copy of the Koran. In some ways that is surprising, insofar as it is the work of one man and a few scribes, whereas the Bible is probably the work of hundreds. It was written over many years.

Unknown assailants have on Saturday murdered a 42-year-old mother of seven, Mrs. Eunice Elisha, while she was evangelizing around Gbazango area of Kubwa, in Abuja. Eunice, who was a Deaconess at the Divine Touch Parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, Old NEPA Road, Phase 4, Kubwa, was said to have been cut in the neck and also stabbed in the stomach.
It was learnt that her killers left her in the pool of her blood with her bible, megaphone and cellphone. Her remains were discovered by residents who alerted policemen, who evacuated her to the police station where her husband went to identify her.
Eunice' husband, Mr. Olawale Elisha, who is also a pastor at RCCG, said his wife had gone out to preach in the neighbourhood at about 5am only for him to hear the report of her murder.
He said, "My wife always goes out early in the morning for 'Morning Cry' (evangelism). There was a particular day she went out and she told me that there is a mosque at the back where they commented about what she said. So I just cautioned her.
"This morning (Saturday), she went around 5am and I was still in bed because we did vigil which she participated in for a while because of the 'Morning Cry' she planned to undertake. Two of my boys are footballers, so they went to the field to play. And when they came back, they told me that they heard some footballers saying that some hoodlums had butchered a woman who was preaching early this morning.
"So, when I heard this, we trekked down in the shorts I was putting on and we didn't see anybody but we saw blood on the ground. I asked a policeman around and he said it is true but that they had taken her to Phase 4 Police Station.
"I went to the station with my children and when we got there, I saw the lifeless body of my wife at the back of the police van and from there, she was taken to the mortuary. The incident happened between 5am and 5:30am because she usually goes out 5am and comes back 6am."
"My wife was so committed to anything that is of God. She was a reckless giver to God's work, she rarely missed any programme in church. We have seven children," he stated.
According to him, his wife had no quarrel with anyone that could have warranted her murder, describing her as a martyr.
"I see her as a martyr and she died for Christ. And whether the people are caught or not, they should forgive them; my prayer is that if they can accept Christ, that will be a gain to Christ," the bereaved cleric said.

The need of generalized continua models is coming from practice. Complex material behavior sometimes cannot be presented by the classical Cauchy continua. At present the attention of the scientists in this field is focused on the most recent research items
• new models,
• application of well-known models to new problems,
• micro-macro aspects,
• computational effort, and
• possibilities to identify the constitutive equations
The new research directions are discussed in this volume - from the point of view of modeling and simulation, identification, and numerical methods.
- Modelling and simulation of natural and artificial materials with significant microstructure,
- Generalized continua as a result of multi-scale models,
- Multi-field actions on materials resulting in generalized material models,
- Theories including higher gradients, and
- Comparison with discrete modelling approaches
Es gliedert sich in vier Teile:
- Grundbegriffe und mathematische Grundlagen
- Materialunabhängige Gleichungen
- Materialabhängige Gleichungen
- Anfangs-Randwertaufgaben der Kontinuumsmechanik
Zahlreiche Beispiele mit vollständigen Lösungen illustrieren den theoretischen Teil und erleichtern so das Verständnis. In der 2. Auflage wurde Teil III Materialabhängige Gleichungen weiterentwickelt und zusätzliche Beispiele wurden integriert, um die Vor- und Nachteile der unterschiedlichen Formulierungskonzepte noch deutlicher zu machen. Außerdem wurden Fehler beseitigt.
The main focus is directed on the following items
- Modelling and simulation of materials with significant microstructure,
- Generalized continua as a result of multi-scale models,
- Multi-field actions on materials resulting in generalized material models, and
- Comparison with discrete modelling approaches
Discussions of new approaches are emphasised from various related disciplines, including metal physics, micromechanics, mathematical and computational mechanics.
The materials covered in this monograph range from metal-based groups such as lightweight alloys, to advanced high-strength steels and modern titanium alloys. Furthermore, a wide range of polymers and composite materials (e.g. with micro- and nanoparticles or fibres) is covered. The book explores methods for property prediction from classical mechanical characterization-related fields of application, for example, from wear, creep, fatigue and crack growth, to specific surface properties, to dielectric and electrochemical values. As in all fields of modern engineering, the process is often accompanied by numerical simulation and optimization.
The authors formulate constitutive equations to describe the inelastic response for the given states of stress and microstructure. They introduce evolution equations to capture hardening, recovery, softening, ageing and damage processes. Principles of continuum mechanics and thermodynamics are presented to provide a framework for the modeling materials behavior with the aim of structural analysis of high-temperature engineering components.
Nowadays, the theory of pressure sensitive plasticity is successfully applied to many other important classes of materials (polymers, concrete, bones etc.) even if the phenomena on the micro-level are different to classical plasticity of metals. The theoretical background of this phenomenological approach based on observations on the macro-level is described in detail in this monograph and applied to a wide range of different important materials in the last part of this book.
In Chapter 1, the book discusses basic features of the creep behavior in materials and structures and presents an overview of various approaches to the modeling of creep. Chapter 2 collects constitutive models that describe creep and damage processes under multi-axial stress states. Chapter 3 deals with the application of constitutive models to the description of creep for several structural materials. Constitutive and evolution equations, response functions and material constants are presented according to recently published experimental data. In Chapter 4 the authors discuss structural mechanics problems. Governing equations of creep in three-dimensional solids, direct variational methods and time step algorithms are reviewed. Examples are presented to illustrate the application of advanced numerical methods to the structural analysis. An emphasis is placed on the development and verification of creep-damage material subroutines inside the general purpose finite element codes.

PAUL DOBSON writes on the life, struggle and release of Oscar Lopez Rivera, the Puerto Rican freedom fighter and longest-ever held political prisoner anywhere in the world
FORMER president Barack Obama has liberated some high-profile inmates of the US prison system, including the Cuban Five and Chelsea Manning. However, in the same decree as Manning there was another man promised his long-due freedom who didn't make quite so many headlines.
He is one of the most important modern-day anti-colonial fighters, a flag bearer of the struggle of an entire continent and a man who has been described as "Latin America's Mandela."
Little is known in the west of Puerto Rican independence fighter Oscar Lopez Rivera, but for Latin American patriots, anti-imperialists and those who today are constructing another, better world, he is a household name.
His 36-year imprisonment in the US for his role in the struggle to overthrow their colonial rule in the small Caribbean island holds symbolic importance for all Latin Americans. It is a relic of an outdated, exploitative relationship between the US and their "backyard" which is being thrown out to the dustbin of history.
As the longest standing political prisoner in the world, millions have called for his release including 10 Nobel Peace Prize winners; US politicians such as Jimmy Carter and Bernie Sanders; musicians such as Grammy winners Calle 13, Andy Montanez, Chucho Avellanet and Ricky Martin; film producer Jacobo Morales; novelists; journalists; Major League Baseball players; Archbishop Desmond Tutu and even Pope Francis.
Rivera was imprisoned in 1981 for 55 years (which was later extended to 70) but is due to be released on May 17 after Obama commuted his sentence.
His crime? "Seditious conspiracy" and belonging to the Puerto Rican National Liberation Armed Forces (FALN), dedicated to fighting for the self-determination of Puerto Rican people and against one of the longest standing colonial rules.
Puerto Rico has been a US colony since 1898, when, following a failed attempt to buy the island off the Spanish, it was ceded it the US along with Guam and the Philippines as part of the culmination of the US-Spanish War. Spain's sovereign interests over Cuba were also relinquished in this agreement.
Despite reforms giving Puerto Ricans the right to natural US citizenship (1917) and to elect their own Governor (1947), Puerto Rico continued to be part of the US.
The economic, political, and social impact of colonial rule on Puerto Rico has been devastating. Atrocities such as the 1948 Gag law which outlawed all national symbols, songs, and culture; the Jayuya uprising and Utuado massacre in the 1950s; severe economic exploitation and a dual-society for Spanish speaking dark skinned Latinos and white US invaders paved the way for some Puerto Ricans to choose the path of armed insurrection in their efforts to shake off the shackles of repression. A 2012 consultative vote showed 54 per cent support for a change in status.
Under these material conditions the FALN, a Marxist-Leninist underground vanguard organisation which used direct action both in Puerto Rico and on US soil, was born in 1974.
As soldiers in an anti-colonial struggle, those captured, including Rivera, invoked the Geneva Agreement and declared themselves to be prisoners of war. Such appeals fell on deaf ears.
Ironically, Rivera, who moved to Chicago at a young age and was influential in standing up for the large and hyper-exploited Latino working-class community, was drafted to defend America's imperialist interests in Vietnam, where he won a Bronze award for heroic service. His experience of US colonial barbarism in Vietnam only deepened the anti-colonial sentiment which ran through his blood.
Rivera's commutation is a hugely symbolic victory for the peoples of Latin America. Unsurprisingly, leaders such as Hugo Chavez, Nicolas Maduro, Fidel Castro and Daniel Ortega had been some of the most vocal in pressing for Rivera's release.
Since Jose Marti's proclamation to fight for Puerto Rican independence at the foundation of Cuba's Revolutionary Party in 1892, Cuba's and Puerto Rico's paths have been entwined ever since.
Revolutionary Cuba has pressed for Puerto Rican independence in the UN Decolonisation Committee with 38 resolutions passed since 1970, with the most recent of these (2012) calling on the US government to release all political prisoners. It was blatantly ignored.
Venezuela has also championed Rivera's case on numerous occasions, with Maduro saying: "his only crime was to want the independence of Puerto Rico […] to defend the beautiful banner of Puerto Rico with its unitary star of dignity."
Following Obama's announcement, prisoner 87651-04's daughter, Clarisa Lopez Ramos, told reporters: "My father told me how grateful he was to — and was very emphatic that I manifest it publicly — all the Puerto Rican people, the Latin American people, and especially to Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua."
"Whatever time I have left in this world I dedicate to work and fight to help solve the biggest problem we face: the colonial status of Puerto Rico" pronounced Rivera on his 74th birthday just before Obama's decree.
"If we dare to live and if we dare to fight, we can eradicate colonialism and transform our beloved homeland into the Edenic garden it has the potential to be and live as free people without colonial chains."
Questions remain for Rivera with the handover of power to Donald Trump. Sources inside the Republican Party were quick to express horror at Obama's decision and in some ways Rivera represents everything that Trump has attacked.
Why did Obama wait so long to commute his sentence? Will Trump reverse the order? These are questions that only time will answer.
But what is certain is that until Rivera is back in the arms of his family and comrades, nothing can be taken for granted and until Puerto Rico is a free, independent nation, the cancer of colonialism persists on the doorstep of the most powerful nation on Earth.


text: THE STATISTICS ARE GRIM. More than 40,000 brave men and women have returned wounded from Iraq and Afghanistan. They must now face the daunting challenge of recovery. Rebuilding America's Warriors (R.A.W.) is a non-profit foundation dedicated to providing free reconstructive surgery to recently wounded and disfigured active service and veteran status warriors. Disfiguring scars can remain as a result of shrapnel, burn and artillery wounds. Shrapnel itself is often left in the wound site. Disfiguring wounds can interfere with the veteran's ability to seek social encounters and reenter his or her pre-war life. It is this Foundation's objective to aid the veteran, or active military soldier, in more readily advancing in his profession and in the social arena. Looking one's best also increases self esteem and will help give our soldiers the confidence to seek their ultimate dreams. R.A.W. has founded a network of 386 surgeons in 49 states, soliciting their services across the country to provide reconstructive surgeries on a national basis to our wounded and disfigured warriors. Publicly solicited donations go directly toward the soldier's transportation, hotel accommodations, food, surgical costs, medical supplies, hospitalization, anesthesia, medications, and aftercare. Rebuilding America's Warriors Foundation does not want to allow the wounds of war to permanently disfigure promising young lives. R.A.W. is a 501(c)3 charitable foundation.

Job Title: Analytical Chemist
Type of Company: My company is a small start-up company making drugs that use nanoparticles to fight diseases.
Education: BS, Biology Education, Millersville University (Millersville, PA)
Previous Experience: I worked as an analytical chemist and lab manager for large pharmaceutical company. Before that I was an analytical chemist at a contract research organization and at two different drug companies.
Job Tasks: My company has a patented technology to make nanoparticles - particles so small they're invisible to the naked eye - out of polymer which can then deliver various types of therapeutic drugs to the body. The company is often described as being in the biotechnology sector, but its work is closely related to traditional drug company pursuits.
The company has tried hundreds of different formulations of nanoparticles, varying all aspects of the process. We've changed ingredients, added different active ingredients and changed the constituents of the nanoparticles completely. My job - as a scientist in the Analytical Development group - is to determine what's in the particles, how much is in the particles, how big the particles are and any other aspects of their creation that will be useful in improving our formulations.
I typically receive samples of nanoparticles from the process engineers, and I use such laboratory equipment as liquid chromatographs, spectrophotometers and other light scattering detectors to determine the samples' characteristics. I have to be precise and accurate in my work, and I have to be able to explain in detail how I did what I did and what my results were. I accomplish these things by writing what I do in my lab notebook.
Math, writing, and a good understanding of the scientific method are key to me accomplishing my tasks.
Best and Worst Parts of the Job: The best part of my job is the technology I work with, which is very interesting and combines aspects of polymer chemistry, peptide chemistry, immunology, physics and organic chemistry. I learn a lot every day, and my tasks change week to week. The worst part of my job is that, unfortunately, many scientists have difficulty in dealing well with other people. I work with many people with few social skills, and this makes my job somewhat boring.
Job Tips: My advice would be to go as far with your schooling as you can. If you truly enjoy science, your studies will pay off, both financially and in terms of the depth of work that you do. So get a Ph.D. or a masters. I don't have either, and I think this has hurt my career some.
I would also try to work in as many different kinds of jobs within the biotech/pharma realm as you can. Try to work at a company with drugs on the market, and at some whose products are only in the developmental stages.
Finally, I would make sure to have an active life outside the lab. Pursue other interests and spend time outside the world of science. Many scientists shelter themselves from other aspects of life by putting all their focus into their lab work. This actually makes them worse scientists than they otherwise would be, as the "big picture" of things around them can be lost.
Additional Thoughts: Only get into science if you truly like science. If you don't, it can be a frustrating career.

Their technical skills helped Japan's corporate giants sweep all before them in the 1980s, and now thousands of ageing Japanese engineers are finding a new lease of life in booming China.
"My profession is going out of business in Japan," said 59-year-old Masayuki Aida, who made moulds for a Tokyo-based firm for 30 years but has spent most of his 50s in Dongguan, a gritty manufacturing hub in southern China's Pearl River Delta.
With the incessant noise of car horns and a pervasive smell of chemicals, the dusty streets of industrial Dongguan are a far cry from Tokyo or Osaka. Construction sites dot the city while beggars clutching tin cans approach cars at every intersection.
For Aida and many like him nearing the national retirement age of 60 the choice was simple - face a few years without an income as Japan raises the age at which employees get their pension or work for mainland Chinese and Hong Kong companies.
"People aren't making products in Japan anymore," said Aida, who makes moulds for goods ranging from toys and earphones to coffee machines. "I wanted to pass on to younger generations all the knowledge and technology about moulds I had obtained."
Image: Aida Masayuki poses outside the factory where he now works in the township of Zhangan near Dongguan in the southern Guangdong province.

Or just leaving for good.
Not in the near future. I use my account for Amazon card. LMAO.
Couple months
Have an opinion?
Possibly never. Even if I grow tired of it, I'll leave it be because I would be fooling myself if I thought I would never come back.
Thats the spirit.
@ice_vampire thanks mate 8)
Never. I will have to be shown the door first before I ever leave. Or the site closes. I will though go on vacations and won't be on. Much at times. Sometimes I will be on a lot 😁
I guess I'd just forget about this forum. If I wanted to leave, I would. Deactivation not necessary to..."motivate" myself.
Considering the concentration of idiocy in many of the takes, I'm slowly starting to lose faith in this community. Might be sooner than later.
Never lol.
When I don't enjoy it anymore
Sorry, @errhh, but I don't plan on leaving anytime soon :)
When I don't feel like.. coming back... anymore? :o
I stay for my friends
like @BellePepper
Don't tag me.
@BellePepper No problem hun.
Don't know yet
Would never deactivating it, why would I?
Maybe I'll decativate my email next lol.
I don't know cause I'm so used to being on this website everyday which means that if I deactivate it, it will just feel weird without it
never. if im tired of it i won't use it but i think won't deactivate it
Hopefully after I write two more takes.
Maybe soon. Not sure though.
When I get really bored
Written my "GAG will" already in my note about it..
Never ever
none. lol i love asking my dirty questions on here.
Never. I can promise that.
What's GAG? seriusly i don't know..
This site my friend. GAG (Girls Ask Guys)
No problem friend.
Never? I imagine I'll just let it fade into the background of my life instead. I don't need to do a whole "goodbye" thing.
never.. im here for the long haul
until I get deleted for the 50th time for expressing my views and opinions as a Christian CIS male.
people with traditional Christian beliefs are treated like lepers. Im sorry Catyln Jenner is not a woman he's a castrated guy with silicone tits.
the losers will never leave gag...
In ten years
When Forza Horizon 3 comes out in late September.
@Daynada This website is bollocks.
@Daynada It's an open world racing game set in the Australian outback.
You get an Xbox One and buy the game, it will be an amazing experience.
@Daynada Yes I do.
@Daynada Check out Forza Horizon 3 on Youtube. I would post a link but it won't let me post a link as I am exp 1.
@Daynada Cool. Happy gaming :)
@Daynada Yeah probably, I don't know I may stick around.
@Daynada Since you asked so nicely, Daynada, I'll stay.
@Daynada Thanks Daynada, I'll send you a message revealing my GAG username when I get Xp2, just so you know who you're talking to.
I have no idea. It's not set in stone.
when my life gets so busy that i no longer have the time, OR when I've gotten everything out of here that i feel i possibly can.
i am not sure
any day now... the patience is wearing thin already...
When I get married
Either when I find somewhere else that hasn't been completely taken over by neckbeard mgtow douchebros or I get a full-time big girl job.
Never, gag is just too much fun XD
When I get tired of It, soon or later.
that's hard to say. i like it too much.
Not sure. Sometimes I see some questions and want to leave the internet.
Never. But I have encountered a few that were deleted but just set up another account to spew the same ugliness as before.

Gypsy Soup Recipe
Gypsy Soup from the Moosewood Cookbook
3 – 4 tablespoons of olive oil\
2 cups chopped onion
2 cloves crushed garlic
2 cups chopped, peeled sweet potatoes or winter squash
½ cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes
¾ cup chopped sweet peppers
1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
3 cups stock or water
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of cinnamon
Dash of cayenne
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon tamari (soy sauce)
In a soup kettle or large saucepan sauté onions, garlic, celery and sweet potatoes in olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add seasonings, except tamari, and the stock or water. Simmer, covered, fifteen minutes. Add remaining vegetables and chickpeas. Simmer another 10 minutes for so – until all the vegetables are as tender as you like them. Note: The vegetables used in this soup are flexible. Any orange vegetable can be combined with green…. For example, peas or green beans could replace the peppers. Carrots can be used instead of, or in addition to the squash or sweet potatoes. Note from Kate. For the January Free Workshops, I usually double this recipe. I also add more vegetables and chickpeas. I use sweet potatoes, never squash and always include carrots and both red and green peppers. I also add more stock to compensate for the additional vegetables.

God's Vision for the House of Praise became a reality in April of 2013.
When you view the live version of this page, you will see a slide show in place of this box. Double-click on this placeholder box to edit the slide show's properties. To remove this slide show from the page, select this box and hit the delete key.
Immediately upon entering the gate, it's apparent that you are "Standing in His presence on Holy Ground". The "Piano Key Porches" set the tone for what lies inside the doors of the House of Praise!
Once inside, it's obvious this house is all about praise and worship! The walls display the titles and lyrics of great hymns, which bring a song to the heart of every visitor. Decorated with musical instruments, symbols and decor, praise to our Lord is the natural response by everyone!
The House of Praise is an all-inclusive retreat house with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. The versalitity of the house allows it to sleep thirteen people in single beds or it can accomodate five couples in king-size beds.
Every bedroom is dedicated to a particular Christian song and arranged so that the first thing the guests see upon awakening is the song lyrics. After a great deal of prayer, the Lord made it clear which songs to use: The Old Rugged Cross, Amazing Grace, Blessed Assurance, I Surrender All and Trust and Obey.
The open floor plan living area is dedicated to the great songs How Great Thou Art and Victory in Jesus! Two beautiful, large sofas create the perfect atmosphere to enjoy the company of one another as the guests lift high the Mighty Name of Jesus in prayer, praise and worship! The dining/conference room easily accomodates sixteen people and includes an excellent surround sound system, a large screen television and DVD player.
All meals are provided for retreat guests at the House of Praise, and it is our pleasure to serve God in this capacity. It is indeed a blessing to witness the Power of the Holy Spirit touch the hearts of people through their Praise and Worship of our Lord! As children of God we are called to Praise Him in all things and situations and The House of Praise is dedicated to doing just that!

Have a look at this website. It's called Verbix and you can conjugate verbs in over a hundred languages including English. You just write in the stem of the verb and click Go.
It might be a nice MEC Web Link to send to your students. They could have it open when they are completing writing exercises as homework or when they are doing MEC resources in the computer lab.

Soniclear Petite
Michael Todd makes some amazing skincare products! I love their facial cleansers, toners mask, etc, so I was excited to try out one of their cleaning brushes. The Soniclear Petite is a antimicrobial sonic skin cleansing system. The brush gently removes dead skin cells, makeup, dirt and oil 6x better than hands alone. It is 100% waterproof so you can use it in the shower if you like. There is 3 speeds to choose from and has a built in timer and memory. I love that the brushes last 6 months, other brands the brush needs to be replaced every few months and that gets expensive. The brush makes my skin cleaner, healthier and more radiant. You can purchase this brush here.

This decision of the House of Lords is significant because it is the first decision of a major court of an important country refusing to grant a former head of state immunity from adjudication in the context of alleged gross violations of human rights. It is shown that state immunity, diplomatic immunity and head of state immunity are to be distinguished and the rules pertaining to head of state immunity are explained. Whereas the author agrees with the result of Lords' decision, he disagrees with the reasoning because the majority circumvented the immunity question by artificially qualifying the alleged human rights violations of General Pinochet as private acts.

We're of the firm opinion that your time is too precious, too valuable to be spent reading a full review for a game that was already reviewed many, many years ago. What's the point of applying a score to a game that's old enough to be enrolled in the sixth grade? That's why we invented Deja Review: A quick look at the new features and relative agelessness of remade, revived and re-released games.
I should preface this all by saying I'm a pretty big Tekken fan. I've been playing the series since it existed and the original Tekken Tag Tournament is responsible for one of my favorite memories as a human being. But, for most fighting game fans, you've either been with the franchise for a while or you've got your reasons for not giving Tekken a chance. Don't expect Tekken Hybrid to sway that opinion.

Pelosi, Reid, Waxman, Obama, Frank, Conyers, Rangel, Obey, Biden, and Clinton – these are the people in charge of the free world. That means every facet of our lives is directly or indirectly affected by these nut jobs. And every one of them has had major issues in the past few weeks, months, and years.
The latest and most outrageous is Pelosi's lies to the American people about water boarding. Of course we all know she's a political power grabbing liberal and makes every decision based off of anything but what's good for this country. And judging by the polls, most American people know that as well. In case they didn't, Cong. Steve King spelled it out pretty clearly to them on Friday.
Reid had his own gaffs yesterday which included, saying Kennedy's cancer is in remission, Byrd's hospital stay for his infection will end on Tuesday or possibly later this week, and that Democrats don't want any prisoners held at Guantanamo Bay to be in prisons in the United States. In case you don't know, these are all untrue. That's what happens when people get used to lying, they can't help but do it. If you don't know, just tell us that but don't belittle us by offering a plate full of bs.
And then we have Waxman, the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. He's hired a speed reader to head off Republican tactics concerning the new energy bill. Apparently a House rule allows the forced reading of a bill into the Congressional Record. Republicans are dead set against this bill and requiring the reading of the legislation would allow for the public to actually understand how bad this legislation is. Now Waxman, being a liberal, doesn't want to have debate on the bill and surely doesn't want Americans to know what's in it before it passes, so he's hired the speed reader to read the bill in approximately 9 hours. That's 946 pages of the worst of our government in a 9 hour span. I don't even know if I could listen to that.
Joe Biden. I really don't need to write much about him. That's already been covered by this site. But last night I was watching O'Reilly, something I rarely do, and caught most of an interview with Dennis Miller. It doesn't matter if you are a liberal or conservative, you'll find this video pretty funny.

Go back to ancient times and get ready for the ultimate chariot race. Harness racing is big business in Berlin, and is a form of racing that sees the horse typically pull a two-wheeled cart, or sulky to those in the know.
Over 150,000 spectators descend on the madcap capital each year for the unique sport – an event that has taken place in Berlin since its first official run in 1913. These exciting races are usually held in the lively city centre, on one of the most famous harness racing tracks. Surrounded by chestnut trees and boasting a whole load of stables that can hold over 800 horses on a huge amount of acres – it's a unique experience. There's plenty of opportunity to place bets at the races, and we'll sort out your admission to the big event, as well as an English-speaking guide to accompany your group.

Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is becoming the biggest star on the team aside from Tom Brady in only his second year. He's speaking Spanish in interviews with ESPN Deportes, getting mic'ed up for games and getting people to "Gronk" everything in sight.
Well, folks have taken notice, and now the tight end is even starring in commercials. Take a listen as the guys listen to Gronk's ad and watch it for yourself.
Fan songs are always fun, and the guys played plenty when Tim Tebow came to town. It seemed like Tebow fans uploaded new songs every day. Now, the guys are finding that Gronk is giving Tebow a run for his money in the fan song department.
They started things off with a song that was professionally put together, but those are not the fun ones. Listen as they play one written to a tune that we think Wallach loves.
