Are you a part-time handyman around your house, and you often have to work in high places? Okay, take a close look at our best telescoping ladders for DIY projects to ensure your safety and to make transporting and storing ladders become easier.
But, we will say something about the benefits of telescoping ladders. Scroll down!
There are many types of ladders out there to accomplish different kinds of DIY projects, like furnishing, repairing boats, painting, etc. Here are a few to name:
Each will have their pros and cons, but telescoping ladders has designs that can ensure both convenience and safety requirements for DIY projects.
Single-section, step, extension, multi-position ladders have fixed and restricted heights and bulky design that make it difficult to operate, store, carry and bring to places with small space.
On another hand, the height of telescoping ladders is adjustable, which allows compact size for storage but enough height to work above the ground. It is also made of lightweight materials so you can carry it around with one hand.
No matter kinds of projects, indoor or outdoor, painting, changing light bulbs, or fixing roof, you can lean it against a vertical surface and climb up with your tool belt safely and easily.
Rubber grips on the feet and top make the ladder stand steadily and not slipping or sliding on any surface, as well as protect floors and walls from being scratched by the ladder.
Ladders complied with OSHA/ANSI safety standard rate must be used by types of work and load capacity. This specification is usually included in the product description. We will give an explanation for this rating system in a section below.
Other safety features that a good telescoping ladder should have are an automatic extend/retract operation as well as retraction mechanism that ensures no fingers jammed.
The rung or step should also be wide enough to fit your grip position, molded at a certain angle and finished with a non-slip surface. It should also have an indicator that tells if it is locked into places and ready to use.
Thick aluminum tubes for the sides can ensure more stability when using the ladder at its full height. The material and design should be enough to carry your weight and make you feel stable when climbing up and down.
Flexible size is the most highlighted features of telescoping ladders in-home use, so the ladder's height should be able to extend rung by rung to any height you desire, which may be only a few feet, instead of its full height.

The telescoping ladders' height usually ranges about 30-40 inches in compact its mode, so it is easily fit in the trunk of a car. They sometimes come with carry-straps, or even cases, of their own for the easy transport.
The Xtend and Climb Pro Series Ladder's features are patented by the True Telescoping Technology, meaning you cannot get the same quality anywhere else. The ladder is safe to use, compact, and stylish.
The feet are double over-molded with non-slip end caps to increase its durability, traction, as well as a sturdy footing when you climb up and down the ladder.
Its release button with red-green indicating rungs lock and a curve design is placed on the side of the rung to avoid jamming your thumb and other fingers when you retract the ladder.
You can also bring it from place to place easily with the soft carrying handle comfortably fitting your finger/hand and the military-grade closure strap to keep it close when moving. A carry case can be bought separately for better storage.
It also comes in four colors: gray with yellow, red, green, and blue, so your selves of DIY tools are never boring to look at.
Pros: Sturdy rungs. High Reach. Durable material . Anti-pinched retract button. Suitable for heavy work of contractors and DIY workers, both outdoor and indoor projects. Compact size for its reach; easily fit in the front or back of a truck, closest, etc.
Cons: Quite expensive. Difficult to retract on horizontal position. Quite heavy but can only carry a maximum load of 250 pounds
Cosco has a smart close one-touch release retraction to prevent fingers pinching. It is slowly descending, and its button is designed quite similar to that of Xtend and Climb to ensure proper hand position and avoid pinched fingers.
The green-red locking indicators on every rung to tell you when it is safe to climb (green means the rungs are locked and good to go). And the rungs are molded with a depth of 1.6 inches, creating a more steady feeling when climbing up high.
Pros: Lightweight, compact size, enough reach height for any household works.
Cons: Quite expensive.
The silicone pivoting feet grips is flexible enough to adjust to a slight change in angle of the ladders and the ground and thus hold it stable.
Serrated and elliptical tubing rungs along with the green-red lock indicators allow sturdy footing with every step you walk on the ladder.
With one touch on the release button, the ladder is fully automatically extended or retracted in just a second. You can stretch it to maximum height from the top rung or by the foot from the bottom rung.
Pros: Multiple usages: outdoor and indoor works, at home, on boats, farms, etc. Compact size that easily fits in any storage space. Effortless retraction and extension. Non-slip feet grips. Anti-pinched retraction button.
Cons: Expensive, replacement parts are sold and bought only at the manufacturers, cause scratches on walls.
The steel spring auto-locking pins make sure the rungs are locked into place when fully extended. Between each step are small plastic pillars to protect your fingers from being jammed when retracting
The ladder can be tilted at an angle of up to 75 degrees, providing more sturdy footing as you climbing up its maximum height.
Travel with the telescoping is also not a problem with a durable carrying strap and case of its own. At its size, it can fit in any small spaces like the trunk, storage sheds, or closets.
Pros: Good for both commercial and home projects, includes a carrying bag, good price for value.
Cons: Pending and flimsy when reaching the top, so it should be used with a spotter and on an even surface.
The rungs spring loaded and self-locked into place, giving a "click" sound when each rung is fully extended.
The ladder is slowly retracted with a one-button release to close the ladder from its full length and 11-level retraction button put under the step that is one level down from the descent level. This mechanism can avoid pinched fingers.
Pros: Low price considering its value, portable, lightweight.
Cons: Hand position when retracting the ladder may still get your finger pinched. The grip holding the strap is not strong. The size, when closed, is still larger than most other telescoping ladders. Unsteady towards its maximum height.
Before purchasing the telescopic extension ladder, you should look carefully into their specifications for safety. Most of the above-recommended brands have warranties against manufacturer defects so you should also check inspect the products to make sure it is in good condition when you buy it.
When using the telescopic ladder, it is easier to fall because of the height its reach and its placement position, unlike the A-ladder or multi-position ladder.
The ladders are rated according to the maximum weight they can carry, intended use, and material, so make sure you understand the abbreviation of the safety codes.
ANSI A14.1, ANSI A14.2, ANSI A14.5, ANSI A14.7 which stand for wood, portable metal, fiberglass (portable reinforced plastic), steel are probably the most common materials for ladders used in DIY projects.
Other abbreviations are assigned according to their use like ANSI A14.3, ANSI A14.4, ANSI A14.7, ANSI A14.8, and ANSI A14.9, stating rules for fixed, job-made wooden, mobile-platform, accessories, and disappearing-attic ladders.
To Wrap It Up
Depending on your need (indoor or outdoor, at home, on boats, in RVs, etc.), you will have different ladders to do the job. Therefore, the height and load capacity should be the most important numbers to look at.
With a reasonable cost, many usages, and safe designs, Xtend and Climb 785P deserves the title of the best telescoping ladder for DIY projects, while the others can be used in heavier duty.
We hope you enjoyed our article on "5 Best Telescoping Ladders for DIY Projects", if so, please share and rate it.

The first wave of acts for the season ending Bestival on The Isle of Wight have been announced today. Bestival is a four-day music festival held at the Robin Hill country park on the Isle of Wight, England. It has been held annually in late summer since 2004. The event is organized by DJ and record producer Rob da Bank along with his wife Josie and is an off-shoot of his Sunday Best record label and club nights. In keeping with this years "Summer of Love" theme Bestival has announced it's usual eclectic mix of Dance and Indie acts.
This years Bestival will run between September 10th-13th and the organisers have pulled a rabbit out of the hat announcing that the Saturday night main stage headliners will be the Chemical Brothers who are back for the first time since 2007.
Rob da Bank says: "We're taking it right back to our roots for the 12th annual Bestival. It's also the 20th birthday of the club where it all started – Sunday Best, and that club and our beloved Bestival were founded on some pretty simple aims – listen to amazing music, make new friends, have fun, and maybe stay up all night."
Another firm Bestival favourite is Underworld, who will headline the Big Top on Thursday night as part of a UK festival exclusive for us! Commenting on their opening night appearance, Underworld said: "Can't wait to be back on the Isle of Wight with the Bestival crew. Be sure to get there early to catch us on Thursday night and start the weekend as you mean to go on".
No Bestival is complete without a surprise act or two and in this years line-up for the first time for a UK festival exclusive appearance are iconic trailblazers Duran Duran. Frontman Simon Le Bon says: "This year sees the beginning of a new Duran Duran live show. I couldn't imagine starting it with more of a bang than an appearance at Bestival."
Bestival will also have a UK festival exclusive appearance from the world's most famous musical family, The Jacksons, and live sets from psychedelic riff merchants Tame Impala, soul-powered collective Jungle, bloc party hip-hop kings Jurassic 5, a UK exclusive from unique beat sculptor Flying Lotus, garage duo Gorgon City, who, as you'll know, are 'ready for your love', genre-swerving four-piece Little Dragon; the golden voiced Roisin Murphy, and deep house don and UK singles chart-topper Duke Dumont.
Bestival has plenty more live music from the likes of Kate Tempest, Jamie xx (Live), Boy Better Know, Todd Terje (live), Action Bronson, Future Islands, Level 42 , Young Fathers, Flight Facilities, Rae Morris, Jungle Brothers, The Cuban Brothers, Pond, Sleaford Mods, Fat White Family, Lapsley, Cymande, Slaves, Shura, George The Poet, Dean Blunt, Snap!, The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, Mr Wilson's Second Liners, The Rajasthan Heritage Brass Band, Reggaerobics and Circus Raj.
With a host of DJ's including the queen of Radio 1's dance shows Annie Mac, rabble rousing as Lily Allen presents FUNLORD, and many others there will be plenty to keep those Bestival fans dancing through the night.
Tickets for Bestival's Summer of Love are on sale now, and will be available on a weekly payment plan, which lets you spread the cost of a Bestival ticket across 25 weeks for around £7 per week after your initial deposit. So there are no excuses not to get loved up at Bestival come September.

From its founding by Andrew Taylor Still, MD, DO, through the work of many contributors, one of the cornerstones of osteopathic medicine has been its ability to aid health by promoting neuromuscular homeostasis. As part of the understanding of osteopathic medicine since the time of Still, the proper functioning of stretch receptor organs (SROs) of skeletal muscle have been recognized as having a central role in this homeostasis. In doing so, the complexities of these numerous and vital sensors are described, including recent findings regarding their structure, function, and the nature of their neural connections. In their homeostatic role, SROs conduct information centrally for integration in proprioceptive and autonomic reflexes. By virtue of their integral role in muscle reflexes, they are putatively involved in somatic dysfunction and segmental facilitation. In reviewing some well-established knowledge regarding the SRO and introducing more recent scientific findings, an attempt is made to offer insights on how this knowledge may be applied to better understand somatic dysfunction.

The 2.0L Turbocharged Engine puts out just shy of 300 horsepower and 280 ft/lbs of torque in the sedan that weighs about 3300 lbs. Available in a S-Tronic transmission or 6 speed manual, the car can get going 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds. With a perfect chassis for modding and a platform that has been proven over and over again, the S3 is very receptive to enhance ECU calibration. The VR Tuned ECU flash is done via the OBDII port. It increases horsepower by 50 bhp and 60 ft/lbs of torque making the all wheel drive car a Ford Focus RS killer! Like any turbocharged vehicle, the Audi S3 2.0T can benefit from a higher flow exhaust system, intake, upgraded diverter valve, and even larger intercooler. It is not hard to get 400 horsepower out of this aluminum block engine. Ready to get your Audi S3 tuned? Shop Here! Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.

Linkin Park's debut album, Hybrid Theory, was pretty groundbreaking back in 2000, as the idea of combining metal with rap was still fairly new.
But on top of the novelty, it featured some great songs that made the band stand out from their "nu-metal" peers like Korn, Limp Bizkit and Kid Rock.
Since then the sound has become a little cliched, but Linkin Park still remain massively popular. Across a diverse career, they've worked with Jay-Z (who saw that coming?) and also experimented with electronica.
Now the band's sixth album, The Hunting Party, is more of a return to their roots. Guilty of the Same rocks hard with heavy riffs, Chester Bennington's shouty, screamy vocals, and a smooth transition to a rapped verse.
But Linkin Park are at their best on tracks like Wastelands, an epic song driven forward by pounding drums that eventually give way to a hip-hop beat.
All in all, this is a solid album. It might not sound as fresh as it once did, but Linkin Park still knows how to stir the emotions.

Title: Bilingualism: Consequences for Mind and Brain
Abstract: A growing body of research points to a significant effect of bilingualism on cognitive outcomes across the lifespan. The main finding is evidence for the enhancement of executive control at all stages in the lifespan, with the most dramatic results being maintained cognitive performance in elderly adults, and protection against the onset of dementia. I will review evidence from both behavioral and imaging studies and propose a framework for understanding the mechanism that could lead to the reported consequences of bilingualism and the limitation or absence of these effects under some conditions.

Students of University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Pharmacy claimed that they were compelled to act as personal servants for an Indian-origin professor, Ashim Mitra.
According to the report published in the Kansas City Star daily, "Over Professor Ashim Mitra's 24 years as a leader in the University of Missouri-Kansas City (UMKC) School of Pharmacy, his students hauled equipment and bused tables at his social events."
In his statement for the newspaper, a former student, Kamesh Kuchimanchi, said that he considered his life at UMKC as "nothing more than modern slavery". The students had to look after the faculty's dog, tend his lawn and water the plants! The jobs extended to a duration of weeks when the professor and his wife were away.
Mitra has denied the allegations while his colleagues reported regarding advising him to stop these improper actions. Mridul Mukherji, also an Indian-origin professor, has filed two lawsuits (in 2016 and 2018) in Jackson County Circuit Court. Reportedly, he has claimed that "Mitra mistreated vulnerable foreign students" and that the university retaliated against Mukherji when he complained.

Different trains. French contemporary dance in Russia
As part of the 25 Years of the project "French
Contemporary Dance in Russia"
June 8 - 16
In 2017 French contemporary dance marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of its appearance on the Russian stage. The French Institute in Russia has always considered promotion of contemporary dance one of its main tasks. During this time, with the assistance of the Institute, in Russia there have been more than 100 French plays, over 25 joint stagings, dozens of workshops and film screenings.
Over these years, contemporary dance was seen through the lens of Vladimir Lupovsky's camera. The French Institute in Russia offered the famous photographer assistance in creating an exhibition of his unique archives to show it it at Russian festivals. The exhibition consists of 50 photographs and gives an idea of the performances of Dominique Boivin, Francois Verret, Jean-Claude Gallotta, Philippe Decouflé, Daniel Larrieu, Frederic Lescure, Heddy Maalem, Mourad Merzouki, Mathilde Monnier, José Montalvo, Jozef Nadj, Régis Obadia, Karine Ponties, Angelin Preljocaj, Pierre Rigal, Hervé Robbe, Pál Frenák, Rachid Ouramdane, Dominique Hervieu and numerous other choreographers. This is an impressive overview of French contemporary dance in Russia over the past 25 years.
The exhibition blends seamlessly into the program of Platonov Arts Festival. Vladimir Lupovsky is our frequent guest. He has been shooting performances of the forum for more than five years. In addition, two plays of the French choreographer Angelin Preljocaj will be shown within the framework of Platonov Arts Festival, with the support of the French Institute, this year.
Vladimir Lupovsky is a famous photographer, an independent photojournalist, a member of Moscow Union of Journalists and International Federation of Journalists (IFJ).
A professional photographer since 1994, he collaborates with many theatres and dance companies. His works have been published in dozens of Russian and foreign newspapers and magazines, as well as in separate publications dedicated to the art of dance, among which - Ekaterina Vasenina's book album "Russian Contemporary Dance. Dialogues". Vladimir has taken part in a number of international photography exhibitions in Russia and abroad (Bulgaria, Spain, Lithuania, Poland, USA, France). He has had several dozen personal exhibitions, has worked as a curator of a number of photo exhibitions. The photographer's archive contains photographic materials of the most important international theatre and dance festivals.
Among his main awards and prizes are: Award of the International meeting of photographers "Photovacancy 2000" (Slanchev Bryag, Bulgaria, 2000), two prizes on the international competition "Press Photo Russia" InterPhoto – 2002, certificates of the Persona magazine for the best photographic materials (Moscow, 2002, 2003), award of the Ballet magazine "The soul of the dance" in the nomination "Press-Leader" (Moscow, 2014).

Peter Sands, StanChart's CEO, plus chairman John Peace and three senior non-exec directors are to stand down. Ex JP Morgan investment bank boss Bill Winters will take over from Sands in June.
Winters left JPM back in 2009 and came over to Blighty, where he bagged himself a seat on the influential Vickers banking commission. He's been looking for a big new job, and now he's found one, turning round Standard Chartered's flagging fortunes.
Chairman John Peace is also stepping down, as are its Asia head and three of the bank's longest serving non-executive directors. Crikey! Will the last one out of the boardroom please switch off the lights?
What went wrong? Well bank boss bombshells are hardly unusual these days, as barely a week passes without some new tale of market rigging or mis-selling breaking cover. HSBCs tax avoidance troubles being the latest example, of course.
But unlike most such scandals, StanChart's troubles are rooted less in dodgy-dealing than in old-fashioned under-performance. In the past two years its shares have almost halved in value, and profits are waning. In 2013 pre-tax profits slipped by over $500m to $6.96bn, and today's dramatic exodus rather suggests that its 2014 profits - out next week - will probably be worse still. Regulatory costs are rising - it was hit by a punitive $667m fine in America over allegations of money laundering - the bonds boom is over and lending money in Standard Chartered's core Asian markets is not quite the lucrative business it once was, either.
The bank's big shareholders including Temasek and Aberdeen Asset Management have been agitating for change, and they can hardly say now that they haven't got it. Chairman Peace will step down next year, and Asia chief exec Jaspal Bindra is also out. As are senior independent director Ruth Markland and two other non-execs, Oliver Stocken and Paul Skinner. The markets delivered a resounding cheer on the news, as shares rose almost 20% this morning.
Winters - who left JP Morgan after falling out with legendary boss Jamie Dimon - will be paid a base salary of £1.15m. He has been widely touted as a likely boss for one of the British banks, although some are surprised that it's turned out to be StanChart as he has little experience of doing business in Asia. As a 'good leaver' the departing Sands will receive full pay until the end of the year and his unvested bonuses intact, too. You can read our 2012 profile of Peter Sands in better times here.
As students of corporate governance will know, so-called 'board refreshment' is all the rage just now (no we don't think they are talking about fancier tea and biscuits either). But all the same, this is the sort of full-on reshuffle we are more used to seeing in the government rather than the boardroom.
So in contrast to so many of its rivals, having survived the crash relatively unscathed, it's the recovery that has done for Standard Chartered. And as the fate of Sands et al demonstrates, the consequences of failure are pretty similar in either case.

Treatment Type: Antiparasitics

Seresto is a flea collar that comes in only one size for cats (unlike the flea topical meds which you need to know the weight of your pet to know which "size" to buy in the topical meds.). The collar needs to be tight so the medicine can be transferred from it to their skin. It should be tight but loose enough to get one finger between the collar and the cat. If it is to loose the medicine will not be able to get onto the skin, thereby making the collar ineffective. The collar works for 8 months and it can be bought at your local pet store or at your vet. (Usually at the vet you can get a mail in rebate for Seresto but you can only use it for 2 collars). Seresto does not leave a smell or residue on your fingers when you touch it and is very safe to use around young children. When you get it before you put it on the cat you need to "activate it", I do it by gently stretching the collar out straight and rolling it back in forth gently. Once activated place it around the cats neck and secure it, cut the excess length off.

Last week we started a dance unit in G3.
As soon as I told learners that what was going to be our next UOI, I saw some happy, excited, disappointed, and worried faces.
I heard myself saying, you don't have to love everything we are learning in PE but you have to give it a try. Then I thought, "how could I engage the disappointed, worried and scared students?"
So together, we looked at the central idea: "Performances with a message can influence thinking"
Then, I asked learners what they thought their performance could look like. What was something they wanted to learn and do?
Right away, everyone was engaged in conversations, sharing ideas and happy to have choices.
The next day, I used this video as a provocation. Looking at student's faces amazed me. They were really hooked into the performances they were watching. At the end of the video, I asked them if they were able to understand what was the message of the performers and if they could use some of those strategies for their performances. Some could, others needed some support.
In addition, we used a question from a third-grade student to provoke student's thinking:
"How is Dance Important in Our Lifes"
Together, we started to shape our unit.
These are our lines of inquiry:
- The choreographic concepts of time, force, flow, levels, and space. (Form)
- Creating movement sequences in response to a narrative. (Perspective)
Learners are starting to think what kind of performance/dance they want to work on.
Letting Students Lead:
One way of thinking of learner agency is when learners have the 'power to act'. When learners move from being passive recipients to being much more active in the learning process and actively involved in the decisions about the learning, then they have greater agency.

program administrators and mediators may be better able to
screen out cases unlikely to benefit from mediation while still
allowing mediation to go forward when the parties feel it can be
of use in their particular circumstances.
Assumption 3:
Mediation as a career has become a reality for tens of thousands of conflict resolution professionals across the US and
other countries. The field of mediation was featured as one of
the "Top 30 Careers for the Next Decade" by U.S. News and
World Report (2007/12/19), due to rapid growth and relatively
low barriers to entry. In 2017, the Bureau of Labor (www.bls.
gov/ooh/legal/ arbitrators-mediators-and-conciliators.htm)
lists the mediation field as having 11% growth, significantly
faster than the average career category. Since the 1980's,
many courts have increased their use of mediation as a tool
for pre-trial settlement, generally to good results. In many
jurisdictions mediation is required before disputants can come
before a judge and use the court's scarce resources. While
vast differences exist between and within U.S. states in regard
to the prevalence of court-mandated mediation, much of the
growth in professional mediation has occurred in and around
litigated cases. Yet, in many regions, court based mediation
has nearly "topped out," meaning all the cases that can go to
mediation are going there. In these areas, as in others, we are
seeing tremendous growth outside of the court system. Additionally, many courts use unpaid, volunteer mediators. Those
seeking to build a mediation career often gain valuable experience within small claims or other courts, but then market
themselves as mediators to other case types or venues.
More than a decade ago, the term "mediation" was fre-quently confused with "meditation" in the popular mindset.Also, the average person couldn't explain the differencebetween arbitration and mediation. These terms are nowcommon enough to be used in the popular media withoutan accompanying definition. We are seeing an increase inthe number of people requesting, rather than being orderedto, mediation. Thanks in part to peer mediation programs inschools, the idea of a neutral third party who helps facilitatedispute resolution is no longer foreign to many people andwithin many organizations.
As a result, in areas where court-connected mediation is
common, the biggest growth in the field of mediation appears to
be outside of the court system. Elder issue mediation services
(e.g. estate planning and division; long-term care decisions,
etc.) are increasingly being offered to seniors and their families
through referrals from health care providers or residential facilities. Homeowners associations are realizing that mediation is
more conducive to neighborly relationships than arbitration
or litigation. Better Business Bureaus and Chambers of Commerce are offering low-cost services to their members and
their customers. Special education mediation brings parents,
teachers and administrators together to improve educational
outcomes for kids with learning disabilities or unique needs.
Organizational ombuds/ombudsmen are working to prevent
and manage conflict in our workplaces and civic organizations.
The Ombuds blog, for example, (http://ombuds-blog.blogspot.
com), lists 434 universities and 187 other NGOs, government,
and business entities with ombuds offices.
In many areas of our lives, mediation is available and increasingly common. Even in court-connected cases such as divorce,
more and more cases are being mediated prior to being filed
in court in order to reduce costs and preserve relationships.
Parent-teen mediation is being used to negotiate rights/
responsibilities and help families improve their ability to communicate productively in the future. Marital mediation is offered
to couples considering divorce, but trying to remain together.
These agreements help clarify expectations between the parties, reach agreements that help prevent the recurrence of past
conflict, and sometimes allow a peek through the keyhole to
see what child support, alimony and parenting schedules might
look like they were to proceed with a divorce. This information
helps couples make informed decisions about the potential
costs of divorce, while equipping them with the conflict resolution skills needed to succeed in overcoming existing problems
(often while going through counseling rather than as a substitute for it). In short, the range of cases using mediation is
growing by leaps and bounds, with the potential to affect our
lives, communities and careers in positive ways.
While court-connected mediation remains a familiar source
for cases, many mediators are building careers without ever
stepping inside a courthouse.
Some of our long-held assumptions about mediation have
turned out to be accurate, once put under the researcher's
microscope, while others have not. As a group, mediators tend
to be inquisitive and open to new ideas, even when those ideas
contradict their previously held beliefs. As the field of mediation
and ADR has expanded rapidly over the past four decades, it is
an important that we inform our practice with the best that current research has to offer.

A New Weekly Color Me Mozart™ Video Series
As things get busier and busier here, I was inspired to take a trip down memory lane and watch a few singalongs I had done with my niece Michaela. We were both so young! lol! She was such a good sport and I love that we have those memories together forever etched in Youtube history.
As I watched the videos, I remembered how fun it was to make weekly videos both for kids and also online piano lessons for my first company, The Music Workshop. I had the best time filming and editing videos. That got me thinking that I needed to add some Color Me Mozart™ videos to this site, including singalongs and educational videos too. That way, you can singalong, learn some music and we could all have a musical experience together.
I also want to take it a step further in the coming months by offering Live Q&A videos and collaborative projects tat we can do together. Then you can send in your videos and we can create a musical montage, how fun would that be!
Educational Videos
As a weekly series, one of the featured topics will be music education. In addition, this will include mini-lessons to learn how to apply all the concepts and topics taught in the Color Me Mozart™ books. Learning music and learning to play the piano is a great experience. With these weekly mini-lessons, we'll go over all you need to know to have a great musical and piano learning experience.
If you're a teacher, I will also talk about the importance of adding music education in the classroom. The great news is that it's easier than you think. We will discuss the best music classroom techniques to make your music class a successful one.
As with this video of my niece and I singing the ABC's, we will be posting videos of new singalongs. Don't worry, we'll include all the nursery classics! lol! Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Mary Had a Little Lamb, Old MacDonald and even London Bridge.
Don't forget that we always want to hear from you so be sure to send in your requests for future songs and topics. Click here to send a request.
We'll also use this weekly series to announce any giveaways and winners, conference news, Color Me Mozart™ Foundation news and other special occasions such as this month being National Music in Our Schools Month (MIOSM).
Live Q&A
You have music questions. We have music answers. At the end of the day, what we want most here at Color Me Mozart™ is to help your child learn music. That is why during Live Q&A videos, we will answer any questions you may have. Those questions can be about anything related to music. "How to practice?", "where is "C" on the piano?", or "what type of keyboard to buy for your child?"
In conclusion, whatever you need to know, we'll do our best to answer it!

Posted by Josh Soupir on March 23, 2018
I get it, when you think of gaming accessories you're imagining some cool speakers or a mechanical keyboard. But, something most gamers don't think about is adding a monitor mount to their setup. Hear me out, mounting your monitor gives you nearly infinite monitor adjustments for more comfortable and longer gaming sessions. On top of that, you'll reclaim desk space and have room to add more to your battlestation. It's time to upgrade your entire gaming setup by adding a monitor mount.
Now I'mma keep it 100 with you, we just launched a line of monitor mounts specifically for gamers so of course we want you to get one. But we wouldn't have made these bad boys if we didn't believe in the benefits. Our engineers are gamers and put their sweat and tears into making sure these monitor mounts are up to snuff (plus got to play video games on the job). From the top-notch build quality to butter-smooth adjustability, an Echogear monitor mount is one of the most value-packed gaming accessories you can buy. We've got mounts for single, dual, and even triple monitor setups...because 3 screens are better than one. It's science.
How do I know they work? Well, I snuck one home to install on my desk and the results speak for themselves:
I mean, the before photo was pretty weak. I had boxes under the edges of my monitors to limit screen wobble and damn is it ugly! As a bonus, adding a monitor mount means no more screen wobble, no matter how many screens you mount. Save the wobble for the club. V.I.C. will be proud. Combine that with the lack of cable management and you've got a setup that can only be described in technical terms as "weak sauce".
Below is the step by step install, but first, here's everything I used to make my PC setup respectable:
1. Monitor Mount
With only 1 screen, I choose between the single articulating arm and the dynamic gas spring arm (desk or wall mounted). Since we'll occasionally have karaoke parties in my basement, the dynamic height adjustment was important so I went with our GM1FC desk mounted gas spring monitor mount.
2. Cable Clips
In order to give my setup a clean, finished look, I needed to upgrade my cable management game. You can find a myriad of products on Amazon, but this set of cable clips is pretty sweet. Apparently, the brand is called "Early Buy" but they're cheap and work well so who cares. It comes with 10 pieces of all different sizes to handle single or multiple cables each. They have a peel-off adhesive on the back and can stick anywhere you need them. 10/10 would recommend.
3. Cable Sleeve
Under my desk was a complete mess. To start fixing that I used a cable sleeve from Kootek to wrap and contain all the cords. It's reversible between black and white and is really easy to use. Cut it to any length and wrap multiple cords. Pair with an adhesive or zip ties and you can attach it to the back of a desk leg to class it up a bit. I've never used something like this before, but for $12 it was worth the risk.
And that's all I needed.
Despite my lack of handyman skills, upgrading my setup with the mount and cable management took about an hour. Not a bad investment for the results. Who knows, I might be excited to do work now. Or maybe I'll just throw back and play Age Of Empires II. I'll crush anyone with the Spanish. Here's the install process:
Mounting my monitor turned out to be the easiest thing I've ever done because of how it comes packed. There's literally an install manual, the mount, and a bag of hardware. That's it. No puzzles or complicated parts to assemble. Even my mediocre DIY skills were more than enough for this project. On top of the end results, I got to feel cool succeeding on the first try. Despite her eye roll, I know my wife was super impressed.
Clamping the monitor onto your desk is crazy easy. No hyperbole here grammar police. Just use the included hex key to loosen the clamp enough to slide onto the desk, then tighten it back up. Just make sure it is centered or positioned where you want the screen. Do this step before attaching the monitor so it's easier to move around to the perfect spot.
Now you'll attach your screen to the gas spring arm. You'll need a Phillips screwdriver for this part. Hopefully, you've got one of those. Put the screws halfway in with your hand, and hang the screen on the interface. Now you'll be able to put the screws in the bottom hole and tighten all 4. Not sure which way the interface goes? It should look like this with the half holes on the top. That's what lets you hang the monitor before completely tightening the screws. 2 person job? Nah dude, the interface was designed for a quick 1-person install. Now get back to Fortniteing (verb: to play Fortnite with heart & gumption).
Now that the monitor is mounted to the desk, you can start optimizing your setup by routing cables through the built-in cable management channels in the monitor arm. I put the power cord and HDMI through the channels and there was plenty of room. Since the end of my power cord is large, I did have to remove the channel cap using the included tools to route the cables, but it only took a few minutes. I felt like Tony Stark taking his Iron Man suit to the next level here, tinkering with the cables until they were just right.
You route cables through the top arm, around the joint, through the bottom arm, and down the back of the mount. Pro tip: make sure to leave a little bit of slack between joints for when you raise and lower the screen. An easy way to make sure there's enough slack is to fully extend the screen up before you start routing the cable through. If there isn't enough slack, your cables could get pulled out when you extend or swivel the screen and that sucks. Take the extra few minutes to set it up correctly and save time later. Time you can use to Twitch stream some Dragon Ball FighterZ Piccolo mastery your 15 followers. But hey, that's 15 more than me.
And.....you're done mounting the monitor. There are some tension adjustments you can make to get the perfect customized functionality, but you can read the manual for that. It's the easiest thing you've done since buttering your Pop-Tart (try it) this morning. Now your monitor has the footprint of a baby deer and you've got plenty of room to add new accessories. Your welcome. Oh, and don't forget that now your monitor can extend, swivel, and tilt to the perfect angle. Look at that beauty!
Now comes the time to clean up the cables and finish the project. It can take a decent gaming setup to the next level. Clean lines + cables out of sight + LEDs = a sick setup. I did the math. Before this blog, my cables were being held up by some empty beer bottles so you know it was bad. At least one of them was the delicious and boozy 2016 Surly Darkness straight outta Minneapolis.
I routed the cables along the back edge of the desk using the cable clips from earlier. They are easy to peel and stick, plus are rigid enough to hold multiple cables. In this photo, it's holding an HDMI and the laptop power cable without a problem. Some cable clips can be too narrow and not allow the cords to slide. Luckily these are perfect for cables that might need to move. When you raise and lower a monitor the cable will need some wiggle room.
I used all 10 clips and the results were pretty dang good...at least above the desk. Below was still an abomination. Using the cable sleeve helped clean up a lot of the clutter. It easily held the 4 cables that routed up from my surge protector. Speaking of which, here's another shameless plug for you. If you're having outlet related terrorism, we've got a sweet surge protector with rotating heads that can accommodate up to 8 devices while protecting them with 2,160 joules of surge protection. Which is a lot of Joules. I was able to power my entire setup (lights and all) from one power strip which went a long way in cleaning up the cable mess. But don't take my word for it, it's got a 4.9 star rating on Amazon.
And that's pretty much it. My desk is way less embarrassing now. You can easily enhance your gaming setup by adding a monitor mount and cleaning up some of the cable mess. It doesn't take much time or skill and will give you both more desk space and nearly infinite monitor adjustments. And now, here is my favorite photo of my new and improved setup. Pretty badass, eh?

How can businesses use location in their local search marketing to increase conversions and sales?
1. Personalize location search results by transport mode
If you're a marketer for a bricks and mortar store, you have to make sure your customers can reach you quickly and safely: In search results, there's no point suggesting a service station restaurant to someone without a car, or a grocery store that has no nearby parking if the searcher is coming by car.
Pre-filtering locations so that they're bike-friendly, public transport-friendly, or step-free acknowledges the fact that the closest location is not always the best one.
2. Use direct marketing with a twist
There was a time when printing someone's name on a leaflet looked damn good, and the literature was seen as a novel piece of advertising. Up the ante and deliver a marketing campaign that uses each individual's house address and explains the shortest route from their home to store. (Companies such as locr can make that happen.)
3. Geofence by time
Basic geofencing means businesses can set a perimeter around a location and send mobile alerts to customers when they cross into the delimited area. It's possible to draw the area manually or use a distance radius so that you can target specific customers using services from companies such as ThumbVista.

1. What benchmarks could you use to determine the effectiveness of your meetings?
To determine if a meeting is effective, it has to answer yes to all the three questions below:
? Has the meeting achieved its objectives?
In order for a meeting to be effective, it must have a purpose and at the start of the meeting, facilitators should be clear on the expected outcome or objective to be met. What is the meeting intended for - to make a decision, generate ideas, get status reports, communicate on something, or make plans?
? Did it take up a minimum amount of time?
Was the time used wisely? People don't want their time wasted so streamline the meeting by starting with objective, cover only what needs to be covered by keeping an agenda and preparing the needed information on hand for reference purposes, and use the agenda as your time guide. Assign particular topics of discussion to save time and increase involvement.
? Did it leave the participants a feeling that the meeting has followed a sensible process?
Ask people their feedback and create a participative discussion. Ensure a maximum satisfaction for all the participants by not allowing people to dominate the conversation, summarizing at end of discussions, ensuring that the meeting stays on topic, listing all tasks generated at the meeting and noting down the assignments and responsibilities.
2. How effective is communication within a group?
The communication in a group includes an exchange of ideas and languages may be spoken or unspoken, verbal or non-verbal and messages can be explicit and implied. The participants share and exchange information, ideas, and feelings.
In order for two people to communicate effectively, they have talk and listen to each other as well so that doubts, confusions and misunderstandings are clarified resulting in both two parties understanding each other clearly. They also need to give and receive feedback to clarify matters. When ...

Yesterday I finished my Sigma 8-16mm lens review. I've been enjoying it since the spring and probably would have continued to do so. However, Sigma decided they wanted it back so I had to wrap things up and cough up a review
Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Zoom Lens Review >>
Condensed review: I love this lens.
The review has a whole bunch of sample photos and a video demo. If you're looking at wide-angle lenses for an APS-C digital SLR, you need to check out the Sigma 8-16mm. It's probably not for everyone. But if you like to go really wide, there's nothing like it.

Sympathy Notice: Kathy Dickerson
Elgin District Lay Leader Kathryn (Kathy) Dickerson, age 82, passed away on June 25, 2020, at Aurora Lakeland Medical Center in Elkhorn, WI.
A young "dreamer", a father of a U.S. veteran facing deportation, and an immigration activist from Mexico taking sanctuary in a United Methodist church shared their personal stories at an immigration learning event sponsored by the Northern Illinois Conference (NIC) Hispanic/Latinx Ministry Team and the National Hispanic/Latino Plan.
"This is an opportunity to review what's going on nationally and in our own area around immigration," said Bishop Sally Dyck to the nearly 120 gathered at Our Saviour's United Methodist Church in Schaumburg on April 22. "Not everyone agrees on what to do around immigration issues, but when we come together like this we hear from each other, make connections and think about what it is we as United Methodists are called upon to do."
Seventeen-year-old Rosalinda, a member of El Mesias UMC in Elgin, came to the U.S. from Guatemala at the age of four and never thought being an immigrant was a "big deal." It wasn't until recently she discovered the impact it would have on her life.
"My sophomore year (in high school) I wanted to drive, but I couldn't get a permit because I wasn't a resident or citizen," said Rosalinda. "I wanted to get a job, but I couldn't. I can't even apply for scholarships, even if I have the grades."
Miguel Perez, Sr., shared how his son, a Mexican-born legal permanent resident and a U.S. Army veteran who served two tours in Afghanistan, is facing deportation after a drug conviction.
"He defended the flag of this country in Afghanistan," said Perez. "If he leaves, I don't know what to do without him. We are advocating for clemency for my son and others who fought for this country and have a right to live in this country."
Elvira Arellano, an immigrant rights activist from Mexico who helped bring the sanctuary movement into the spotlight ten years ago after taking a 12-month refuge at Humboldt Park's Adalberto Memorial UMC, shared how she returned to the U.S. three years ago with her sons to seek asylum fearing for her life. She is back in sanctuary at Adalberto and advocating for fair and just immigration reform.
"I'm here because God has a purpose for me and my church," said Arellano.
Making a connection
Stacy Williams, a member of Salem UMC in Barrington, came to the event to learn how she can make a difference and advocate for immigrants.
"I want to help and I'm so thankful to be part of a congregation that wants to do something and put faith into action," said Williams. "I think first we need to listen to their stories and share them…that's where it all starts."
Pastor Emma Lozano of Lincoln UMC in Chicago, a predominantly Spanish-speaking, mixed-status immigrant congregation, says the event was so important to help connect with one another and dispel misconceptions about immigrants.
"I talked with members of other churches who may not know what my congregation is going through," said Lozano. Even though we don't speak the same language, we speak the same language of love. We can stand up as United Methodists opposed to laws that separate families and come together."
The United Methodist General Board of Church and Society's Jeania Ree Moore and Kristin Kumpf provided background on current national immigration policies and outlined how local churches can take action through advocacy, direct action, and sanctuary.
"This journey of immigration is about people who we know and we love," said Kumpf. "I have stood at the border and watched someone taken away that I loved by border patrol. That's the kind of moment in our lives that make our faith become action."
Organizers say some ideas to help put faith into action include: support the Northern Illinois Justice for Our Neighbors (NIJFON), which provides free legal service for immigrants, call your legislators, hold a Bible study on immigration, invite immigrants or immigration rights groups to speak at your church and/or attend an immigration rights rally/march.
Sixteen-year old John Gutierrez, a member of Lincoln UMC, is looking forward to attending college to study computer science, but for the last 10 years, he's lived with fear and anxiety that his father will be deported to Mexico.
"I'm always afraid my dad will leave us," said Gutierrez who was feeling less anxious after coming to the NIC immigration event. "I'm really happy I'm not alone. We can help each other out and go through this together."
Manuel Padilla, strategic leader of the National Plan for Hispanic/Latino Ministry, said the learning event was the fruit of many partners coming together to accompany prayers with actions and an opportunity for all people, church included, to raise the level of awareness of our own ethnocentric orientation.
"It is when we do not only embrace but defend the rights and uniqueness in each one of God's creation that we can make possible a process to transform our world and our beloved United Methodist Church," said Padilla.
NIJFON donation
At the end of the event, Our Saviour's UMC presented the Northern Illinois Justice for Our Neighbors a check for $1,200.
"Local church support like this, that congregants make happen through special offerings, and through the Advance, are essential to NIJFON's ability to continue to provide free, high-quality legal services across the conference. The fact that these practical services are provided at United Methodist churches reveals the NIC's commitment to transform the world," said NIJFON board member Brent Holman-Gomez.

Shelton provides a proper disposal for household hazardous waste
There was one question many drivers patiently waiting to drop off items at the city's Household Hazardous Waste Collection Day on Saturday, Oct. 5 had when they neared the front of line:
"Why not have two of these a year?"
During the course of the four-hour collection, vehicles snaked around Riverdale Avenue to reach the Myrtle Street entrance to the city Highway and Bridges garage site.
The cars carried everything from old paint and stains to fertilizers and swimming pool chemicals — most carefully placed in cardboard boxes or pickup truck beds.
"This is better than having people throw this stuff down the drain," said resident Steve Ronning, who was dropping off driveway sealer, craft paint and batteries.
Resident John Didonato brought items he found at his late grandfather's house, such as old cleaning supplies, for proper disposal.
"They should do this more than once a year," Didonato said in a comment echoed by so many others.
The collections are not inexpensive for the city to offer, however.
Hundreds of cars lined up
Last year, more than 400 cars came through the line to deposit unwanted materials from their homes, said Marilynn Gannon, city recycling coordinator.
Based on the number of cars waiting an hour after this year's collection had started, it's likely that even more people participated in 2013.
"I love that so many people take the time to bring items in," Gannon said while assisting at the collection.
Gannon said some unusual items have been dropped off at the collections through the years, including cyanide pellets (used to kill flies in greenhouses) and a mayonnaise jar full of mercury.
"There are some interesting things that sit there in people's garages and basements," she said.
At the collection, about 20 volunteers helped coordinate the drop-off process. "This can be hard work, with all the running around and checking," Gannon said.
The collection was handled by MXI Environmental Services, whose workers removed the items from people's vehicles and placed them in containers. Proof of Shelton residency was required to drop off items.
City officials noted the collection prevents these materials from contaminating ground soil or water, becoming a fire hazard, or causing harm to children and pets.

The Rev. Jim Richardson, Priest-in-Charge
We sometimes refer to our Sunday worship as "The Liturgy." The word liturgy has ancient and surprising origins. In its original context, liturgy came from a compound word in Greek for people (laos) and work (ergon), according to scholars Louis Weil and Charles Price in their landmark book, Liturgy for Living.
The term was not at first religious, but was connected to public works done at private expense in ancient Greece. Building a road or bridge for public use on private land was considered "liturgy." Those who translated the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) into Greek in about 250 B.C. expanded the meaning of liturgy in references to public worship. In effect, worship became "the work of the people."
By the time of the New Testament, liturgy was fully connected to the new Christian understanding of Christ's sacrifice celebrated through sacraments. The new use of the word is explored in the Letter to the Hebrews. Saint Paul used the word in Romans 15:16 when he described himself as a "minister of Christ," or in the Greek, liturgon Christo.
"Liturgy" is often misused when describing only those churches that follow a prayer book or a script in worship such as ours. In fact, any church that conducts worship in a structured way is "liturgical" even if the words are not written on a script.
And what of the word worship? It is an English contraction of worthy and -ship, and means assigning value to something, usually a person. In medieval England, aristocrats were addressed as "Your Worship." Only later did worship become connected to a human response to the "worthy" initiatives of the divine.

| 12.1°C Dublin
Homeowners are keeping an anxious watch in flood-hit areas, as gale-force winds once again sweep along coastlines.
Rail travel has been disrupted and householders are living on a knife-edge in some towns along the lower Shannon area as high levels of rainfall and strong winds have left floodwaters just inches from entering homes.
It comes as Met Eireann warned winds would reach speeds of up to 110kph from Wexford to Louth, along the southern coasts and across Galway, Mayo and Donegal.
Forecasters moved to issue a 'yellow' warning for extra care to be taken in exposed areas, while fishermen are once again preparing to be buffeted with an 'orange' warning foretelling of gales reaching storm force at sea.
As floodwaters recede in parts of the country, the nightmare is continuing for those along the midlands, particularly in low-lying flood-prone areas vulnerable to the rising waters of the River Shannon.
Sandbags and heavy-duty pumps have been deployed by Athlone Town Council to stave off the water levels that have been rising slowly over the past 10 days in the Shannon catchment area.
So far, houses have not been flooded but residents in the Park area of the town, south of the Shannon Bridge, fear they may once again be hit after extensive damage was caused in 2009.
Resident John Stroud (47) told how he has been keeping an anxious watch, along with his wife and two children, for the past five weeks as their garden filled with floodwaters contaminated with sewage waste.
Yet, their fears mounted on Friday as floodwaters from the nearby canal, filled by the River Shannon, began to rise.
"By Saturday morning it was right around the house. It was about two inches from the front and back door," he said.
Athlone town mayor Gabrielle McFadden estimated the waters were inches away from flooding properties. She pointed out the situation was under control but that an emergency response was in place.
Elsewhere in the midlands, floodwater has halted rail travel on the line between Dromod and Carrick-on-Shannon for the past week.
Floodwaters at Ballycar, near Newmarket-on-Fergus, have resulted in the closure of the Limerick to Ennis rail line.
Met Eireann forecaster Pat Clarke warned heavy rain and blustery winds reaching up to 110kph could be expected overnight, with severe gusts continuing throughout today.
"It will be quite blustery but not as severe as the worst we have had," he said.
"There will be still more wet and windy weather to come Wednesday and Thursday."

I'm glad I can eat one slice of bread /day, but unfortunately I 'failed' all my challenges at the end of my trial testing (dietitian supervised 12 months ago). Do you have any tips about increasing tolerance ?
Any time I eat more than the Monash app amounts I'm dashing to the loo. My usual day is to plan the full day menu and not replicate anything, so that I can get as wide a variety as possible spread out over the day. I seem to not tolerate any chia, corn or quinoa also, and fibre count is low, despite efforts to up it.
My G.P. Says I do not have IBS . (No pain) but the intolerance (onion and garlic particularly)started more than 30 years ago following small intestinal surgery. And escalated to 'all out' after hemicolectomy almost 2 years ago.
Any tips to eat more vegetables welcome.
Thanks for the Walnut Brie and Fennel recipe in your book – I love it.
Can IBS get worse over time? I only really have bloating and change in bowel habits that change daily. I am worried this may get worse with age? Thank you

This cat really wants her dog friend to wake up! She nuzzles him and paws at him over and over—but the sleepy dog just won't budge. Eventually, she gives up in the sweetest way. We can't get enough of this cat's adorable caresses.
