fabric color swatch books
I designed the Indigo Tones Personal Color PlumeTM as the ultimate tool for color harmony in personal color analysis, interior design, fashion design, jewelry design, quilting, and so much more. It is a fabric color swatch book of 60 harmonious colors organized in a color fan. Each seasonal tone swatch book includes a color range from every color family including metallics. The high level of color accuracy and unique texture makes matching colors to clothing, fabric, fiber, beads, metals, paper, and more so easy! The Personal Color PlumeTM is included in a personal color analysis, but is also available for purchase in my web store.
"I just got my color swatch book, and it is BEAUTIFUL!!!!" -- Danielle, Spencerport, NY
"I love, love, love the new color swatch book!" -- Joan, Victor, NY
"Just a quick note to let you know my colour swatch book has arrived, and I'm absolutely delighted with it...really special to have a fabric swatch with colour that seems to alter slightly with movement and angle in a 3D way - just like real clothers and fabrics. Love the metallics too! Many thanks." -- Alisoun, Surrey, UK
"I adore my beautiful swatch book plume...so pretty! I'll be taking it to the UK to spread some Indigo Tones beauty around the world. Can't wait to grow my swatch book plume collection!" -- Reba, New Zealand
indigo tones mineral cosmetics
Cosmetics can complete a pulled together look when they are applied in the right tones and shades, and take into account your facial features, personality and lifestyle. I have carefully developed a high quality, pressed mineral line of botanically infused cosmetics. Each item - from lipsticks to pressed mineral powders - have been carefully chosen to compliment the seasonal tones. Pressed mineral powders are free of parabens, talc, fragrance, oil, and dyes. All my cosmetics are available for purchase in my web store.
"Kerry Thanks again! The cosmetics arrived last week. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE !!!" -- Janean, Western Massachusetts
"The lip gloss is ridiculously awesome! (great texture and staying power). For a person who wears make-up infrequently, I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to find complimentary colors by simply using your color analysis matching. It takes the worry out of spending money on a product or color you find you are not happy with, and end up throwing away." -- Anne, Marketing Executive, New Haven, CT
"What a winner with the new nail polish! I had been looking for a healthier polish when I found yours. I've been using it for two weeks and I've noticed that my nails are much healthier. Thank you." -- Carrie

"Hi Kerry, I have have been getting lots of compliments on my outfits and the new "soft summer" scarf . Sometimes it is just a "you look great today" but I know it's because of the colors. The make up tips have also been really helpful ". Eliza

Changing Blog Software
As any regular readers will notice, things have changed.
This blog is now converted from Thingamablog to WordPress. The old permalinks for posts will continue to work because the old files are still on the server. In fact, those old files have enabled me to to the most complete reconstruction from previous Thingamablog crashes that I've ever been able to do. I was able to recover all the way back to the first entry on 2/22/06. I believe that there are some entries from Aug 06 that didn't make the transition, but all things considered, I'm not worried about it.
Over time I will put 301 Redirect's in the .htaccess file so that the old permalink urls will reach the wordpress version of the entries instead.
About all that's remaining other than that is to do some tinkering with the template files and fine tune a few things.

By Beth Jinks
Eastman Kodak Co., the imaging company that lost 88% of its market value last year, fell after a report that the company is preparing for a bankruptcy filing should its effort to sell patents fail.
Shares of the Rochester, New York-based company declined 27 percent to 48 cents at 3:14 p.m. New York time after dropping as much as 33 percent. The company may file for bankruptcy protection this month or early February if it can't sell digital patents, the Wall Street Journal reported today, citing people familiar with the matter.
Bloomberg News reported in September that Kodak was weighing options including a bankruptcy filing, according to people with knowledge of the matter. Its revenue has tumbled because of slowing demand for traditional film and competition in digital cameras and printers from Canon Inc. and Hewlett- Packard Co. Kodak's cash and equivalents fell to $862 million at the end of its third quarter from $1.4 billion a year earlier.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Antonio Perez, who took the helm in 2005, is trying to turn around the money-losing company by focusing on the printing business. He is seeking to raise cash by selling a portfolio of more than 1,100 digital imaging patents, and some other business units.
Kodak doesn't comment on market rumors or speculation, said Christopher Veronda, a spokesman for the company.
Shrinking Board
Three board members resigned last month, including Laura D. Tyson, a director since 1997, and Adam H. Clammer and Herald Y. Chen, two directors from private-equity firm KKR & Co. who were elected in September 2009.
Kodak's board decided early last year to reduce the number of directors, Tyson said yesterday in a telephone interview. Her 2012 schedule made it "virtually impossible" to continue to serve, and she resigned last week to help the company reach an "optimal board size."
"It's not a statement about the firm's strategy or the firm's leadership," Tyson said. "I was part of the board for a long time, I was part of the strategy to transform the company, then part of the strategy of choosing the company CEO, I've worked closely with him and with the other members of the board."
Tyson, a professor at University of California Berkeley's Haas School of Business, declined to comment on Kodak's next steps. She was an adviser to the administrations of Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton and sits on the boards of at least five companies, including Morgan Stanley and AT&T Inc.
KKR's Clammer and Chen got board seats after the firm invested $300 million of senior bonds and warrants for 40 million shares with an exercise price of $5.50. Kodak refinanced KKR's bonds in March 2010 via private placement.
Credit-Default Swaps
Five-year credit-default swaps tied to Kodak's debt jumped 2.9 percentage points to 70.4 percent upfront, according to data provider CMA. That's in addition to 5 percent a year, meaning it would cost $7.04 million initially and $500,000 annually to protect $10 million of Kodak's debt.
One-year protection also surged, adding 3.6 percentage points to 61.6 percent, according to CMA, which is owned by CME Group Inc. and compiles prices quoted by dealers in the privately negotiated market.
Credit-default swaps pay the buyer face value if a borrower fails to meet its obligations, less the value of the defaulted debt. The contracts, which investors use to hedge against losses on corporate debt or to speculate on creditworthiness, rise as investor confidence deteriorates.

HAWICK linden6
Showing six changes from last week's trip to Linlithgow, the prospects did not look good againfor Linden as they travelled to Edinburgh to take on Forrester.
However, they made a great start and probably shaded things in the first 25 minutes, having worked extremely hard to take a narrow lead. Alas a costly interception try saw the momentum swing and the home team start to take control.
The visitors were caught out by a neat chip to the corner in the 14th minute and the home winger won the race for the touchdown. The Royal Blues responded well with some thundering charges by skipper Gary Wardle and two Steven Beattie penalty goals put them 6-5 ahead after 24 minutes.
Just before the half-hour mark came the crucial interception as Linden tried to play their way out from deep and the Forrester stand-off read the situation to stroll over and convert.
Linden were still well in the game but any chance of a positive outcome started to slip away as half-time approached.
Firstly, Forrester scored a lovely converted try through their full-back, following nice handling after a lineout. Then, deep into injury time, with Ryan Beattie receiving treatment, the remaining seven forwards couldn't contain a controlled lineout drive and the try took the Forrester lead to 24-6 at the break.
Two second-half touchdowns for Forrester, both resulting from good lineout play, the second nonchalantly converted by their wing forward from out wide, stretched the score to 34-6. Linden then had a long period of pressure in the home 22 but they couldn't break down a stonewall defence.
Almost typically, the next score was at the other end although it was somewhat controversial. The teams seemed set for a lineout when Forrester took a quick throw-in away from the mark and got in behind the Linden defence in the 22. When they chipped ahead, full-back Steven Beattie tackled the player without the ball for an unquestionable penalty and yellow card.
However, although there were other Linden players converging, the referee awarded a penalty try and Beattie's frustration took over and, when he spoke out of turn, the official showed him a red card.
The easy conversion was added and a further seven pointer followed with the game well into injury time to bring up a half-century for the home team.
In the end, a well-deserved victory for Forrester but a tough final scoreline for Linden to take after being in the game for so much longer than has recently been the case. The effort was exemplary as they fought hard and tackled like demons from beginning to end.
Gary Wardle gave a captain's lead with some excellent runs off retreating scrum ball, often making more yards than looked possible. The front five stuck manfully to their task, and in the backs, Graeme Anderson made a welcome return with some trademark big tackles.

Spatial perception is a continuous, cognitive process of inferring three-dimensional sense from the constantly shifting pattern of retinal sensation in which we are daily immersed. For everyone except visual artists the process is almost completely unconscious; something we have picked up from birth, along with our native language. The central mission of the visual sense is to identify "things" and distinguish them from the empty space that surrounds them. Graham Collier, in his book, Form, Space & Vision states, "…to perceive space… there must be a figure on a ground. For then a visual tension is created between the physical presence of something that intrudes, and the… apparent emptiness which surrounds it…" Naturally people take more interest in actual things than they do in empty space, but for an artist this isn't necessarily so. Over time, engagement with the two-dimensional language of art trains the artist to be acutely aware of both object and space as two co-equal entities. 2D Design students at OWU, working with one of Collier's classic exercises, beautifully demonstrate the co-dependence of figure and ground and the capacity of each one to shift or reverse.
Students employed the subtractive process of block printing to create a sequence of individual rectangular designs that, together, configure a larger rectangle. The unifying element of repetition works to break down the perception of each print's individual design, and the recognition of metamorphic change propels the eye forward. The whole enterprise is fraught with instructive ironies regarding the nature of figure-ground interactions. First, the initial figure is produced by an absence – removing the solid material of the block with a cutter – but in the print it appears as a presence, a white figure on a dark ground. The white mark reads unequivocally as figure due to the relative smallness of its area with respect to the larger black rectangle, and also because our eye can surround it. After each printing, students "add" another mark, or several marks, before printing again. Some students worked out their cuts in advance from a master plan while others, like jazz musicians, improvised by responding intuitively to the developing image. In the process of subtraction marks are added to the design. Somewhere along the march of progress an interesting thing happens. First, the ratio of white figure elements to black ground equalizes. Figure and ground become ambiguous and interchangeable. Then, as cutting continues, the figure-ground relationship reverses. The black ground has become the figure and the white has become the ground. The total design consists of twenty stages arranged in a flowing pattern from left to right and top to bottom. Students are challenged to select the states from 30 to 40 printings that best create an integrated whole with smooth transitions and without abrupt changes that interrupt the flow or that create undue emphasis.

It's Thursday — hope the week is going well for everybody!
Often we head down to Naschmarkt in the evenings after work. It's an open-air market where we usually food shop, and occasionally stop for a glass of wine. This being somewhat of a necessity after the 25-minute train-ride — yes, I'm being slightly facetious.
We live next door, which is not to say that the atmosphere has become dull and monotonous, rather that we find it comforting and nigh. It's old-worldy, too! Check out the brass bar stool in the background below.
As we passed one of our favorite wine-vendors, the owner called to us to try a new wine!
This week he's serving a fresh 2010 Grüner Veltliner — young and… — and we were more than delighted to be tasting it while hanging out in the evening sun!
The weather this weekend is supposed to be gorgeous in Vienna — high of 22° C — so there will be plenty of hangin' around outdoors.

Many of life's milestones are attached to a timeline. You always remember how old you were when you had your first date, started your first job or bought your first car. You might also be eagerly anticipating that age when your acne will go away. But at what age should you expect that to happen?
It's often difficult to pinpoint a precise timeline for anything health-related, in particular for physical changes that are associated with puberty, growth and aging. Your body and genetic makeup has it's own unique timetable for all these processes. It's important to point out that we don't necessarily "outgrow" acne, but the nature and type of acne will change for most people over time.
Below, we've provided a quick overview of the different factors to consider with adolescent acne, the impact it has at different stages and what to expect over its lifecycle.
What Causes Teenage Acne?
Acne is seemingly a rite of passage for teenagers. An estimated 80-85 percent of teens experience acne with breakouts beginning around the age of 11 for females. With the onset of puberty coming later for males, boys will usually start seeing breakouts at about age 13.
Many people still believe that acne is simply a matter of hygiene.The real culprit, for teens in particular, is the dramatic fluctuation in hormone levels, which is why breakouts are so common during adolescence. Increases in testosterone trigger excessive secretion of oil in the skin's sebaceous glands. Dead skin cells and bacteria become trapped in oil-clogged pores, resulting in blemishes. Adult acne, on the other hand, is the result of pore clogging from slower skin turnover that occurs along with sweating, excess oil production, and varying hormonal changes.
Will I Just Outgrow My Acne?
As we age, our oil glands produce less sebum and oil, leaving us with less chance of more severe acne problems. But while most teenage acne will simply run its course and resolve itself naturally over time, approximately one-third of teen acne cases linger and become chronic.
Adult acne is fairly common amongst those who've suffered from adolescent acne, requiring a regimented daily treatment that doesn't over-dry. Proper use of topical treatments such as toners, moisturizers and anti-bacterial ingredients like salicylic acid and glycolic acid are essential to help control breakouts and prevent scarring.
Post-Adolescent Acne
Since acne develops later in males, it usually tends to last longer as well. Women are more likely to experience acne in their 20s and beyond, even if they didn't suffer from acne problems as a teenager due to hormonal fluctuations caused by menstruation and pregnancy.
Women are also affected by the use of makeup, which can contribute to clogged pores. Non-comedogenic cosmetics are specially formulated to eliminate ingredients that clog pores that result in breakouts. Anabolic steroid use is known to cause acne in men. Approximately one-third of men who use steroids to enhance athletic performance develop acne, with half of those cases involving a severe form known as cystic acne, which goes more deeply into the skin.
If you're a young adult dealing with acne, you're not alone. A dermatologist can help you formulate an effective treatment plan to maintain a clear complexion.

For an exclusive audio interview with winner Kevin VanDam, click here.
MONETA, Va. -- Harkening back to his Michigan roots, four-time Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year Kevin VanDam picked apart a clear, deep fishery -- just like he used to do years ago as a kid in Kalamazoo -- on Smith Mountain Lake, to the tune of 61 pounds, 13 ounces, enough to hold off Matt Herren of Trussville, Ala., by more than 2 pounds for a victory Sunday at the Advance Auto Parts Blue Ridge Brawl.
With a decidedly different approach than most in the Elite field, VanDam targeted smallmouth bass by sight on the way to his 15th BASS victory and the accompanying $100,000 top prize. While most were sight fishing, no one else was actively seeking smallmouth. To boot, VanDam used a technique that isn't considered one of his strengths.
But VanDam has shaped an illustrious career -- his 15 wins put him third on BASS' all-time list -- by adjusting to the conditions. Sunday, he boated 13 pounds, 14 ounces, and threw everything but the kitchen sink to close out the victory.
"It seemed like every time things weren't going right, I made an adjustment and things would turn on again," said VanDam, who is closing in on $3.5 million in BASS career earnings. "It was just one of those magical weeks where everything fell into place. I'm just really proud of the decisions and adjustments I made."
While VanDam was technically sight fishing, he wasn't executing the technique in the traditional sense. He was keying in on areas where shad -- the main forage on Smith Mountain -- were spawning and attracting the aggressive smallmouth. His main weapon of choice was a 1/8-ounce Strike King Shaky Head paired with a 4-inch finesse worm in dirt color.
In a twist of fate, VanDam, who is often plagued by throngs of spectator boats, felt he got a boost from the abundance of spectator traffic on the spacious fishery. He felt the traffic helped to disturb the waters, causing the bass to become more aggressive in sensing an easy meal.
Perhaps most importantly, VanDam has put himself in the driver's seat in the Toyota Tundra Bassmaster Angler of the Year race with 1,063 points. A victory in the season-long points race would be his fifth and his second straight. His credentials already match up favorably with any bass angler who has ever competed.
"Since day one, I have been focused on the Angler of the Year," said VanDam, also a two-time Bassmaster Classic champion. "This year, it's going to be interesting. I just want to get on a pretty good run here so I can build some momentum heading into the postseason."
The AOY race is shaping up to be intense and memorable. An angler just as hot as VanDam, Skeet Reese of Auburn, Calif., the 2009 Bassmaster Classic champ, is close behind in second, trailing by just 65 points.
Herren, an Elite Series rookie, came up short Sunday, but he scored his best Elite finish and, if not for a terrible morning, he might have edged VanDam.
"One fish probably cost me the tournament," said Herren, 46. "I spent 2 1/2 hours trying to get her in the boat and she just wouldn't go. I had the darnedest luck today. I guess it just wasn't meant to be."
Still, Herren, who is seventh in the AOY standings, felt his biggest slip-up was on Friday, when he didn't perform to his own lofty expectations. His four-day total of 59 pounds, 5 ounces was accumulated strictly sight fishing with a variety of lures, including a creature bait and lizard.
Holding onto third was Day 1 leader Kelly Jordon of Mineola, Texas, with 58-3. In fourth was Greg Hackney of Gonzales, La., with 57-0. Moving up seven spots into fifth was Aaron Martens of Leeds, Ala., with 55-0. The field was cut to the top 12 for Sunday's final day of competition.
The top 12 pros in the AOY standings at the end of the regular season will advance to the two-event postseason, during which the Angler of the Year will be determined.
Up next in the Elite Series is the May 7 to May 10 Marine Formula STA-BIL Southern Challenge on Lake Guntersville out of Guntersville, Ala.
Fishing fans can catch all of the on-the-water action from the Blue Ridge Brawl on The Bassmasters, which airs Saturday, May 9, at 9 a.m. ET on ESPN2. The daily weigh-ins for all regular-season Elite events and the two postseason events will air live on ESPN360.com, ESPN's broadband sports network, while a wealth of unique content will also be available at Bassmaster.com.

Worship @ Eastwind…
The Worship Ministry at Eastwind exists for one reason: "To honor God with the best of our abilities by ushering others into His presence". We strive to do this by creating a professional (yet fun!) community of musicians, vocalists and sound & light techs who are united by an unrelenting passion to lead people into the presence of God each and every service.
If you feel passionate about music and/or technology and have a heart for God, then consider using your gifts in the Worship Ministry at Eastwind. You can find out more information about the team and current opportunities to serve by contacting Zack Galyen | email@example.com or by reading more about our philosophy of corporate worship.
Why Do We Worship God?
Because we get so much out of it?… because the Bible says we should?… because we love God? All of these answers may be true, and we could probably suggest many other valid reasons. Yet, apart from the first chapter of Ephesians we might never come up with an answer so stunning as what Paul offers there.
The apostle begins by praising God, who has: blessed us in every way (1:3); chosen us before creation (1:4); predestined us in love to be His children (1:5, 11); redeemed us (1:7); forgiven us our sins (1:7); lavished His grace upon us (1:8); and made known to us His plan for creation (1:9-10). Why has God done all these marvelous things? "In order that we… might be for the praise of His glory" (1:12). Our very being as God's people is defined in terms of worship. We exist to praise our glorious God!

I'm Afraid You Can't Spell, Dave
Grocery Store | | Right | February 20, 2009
(I was monitoring the customers at the self-checkout machines when a customer holding a cilantro angrily waved me over.)
Me: "Sir, what seems to be the problem?"
Customer: "These machines are so useless! They don't even have cilantro under the look-up list!"
Me: "Sir, it's because you're looking under 'S' instead of 'C' – cilantro is spelled with a 'C'."

I looked for Ozark Fabrics on FB, but there were quite a few. With your recommendation, I was going to go look and she what they had. I just started quilting in July and need an inexpensive influx to my stash.

LOL I did the same thing Tami did and found too many to figure out what was up. Decided it was the fabric fairies telling me I really didn't need more stash. ;-) But I am very happy for you and will watch for your wonderful creations in the new year!

I love the fabric you got!!! I made fabric ornaments for my students this year! I have a stash of material that has musical themes on them. I love those!
I am so sorry you are ill with the flu. My brother had it yesterday and of course, he didn't tell me early enough for me not to go and see him that day. I had a nice visit and prayed the entire way home I don't get his bug.

It's estimated that one in six Americans is allergic to cats, dogs or both. How many cats are allergic to people? No one seems to know for sure. But in allergy testing cats and dogs in his practice, one veterinarian found that about five-10 percent have an allergic reaction to human dander.
It's not the dander itself that causes humans to be allergic to cats. The real culprit is fel d 1, a glycoprotein that's found in cats' saliva and is also secreted by the sebaceous glands. Those glands are located at the base of the hair follicles and are the oily lubricants that keep the skin supple.
As cats groom themselves, they cover their bodies with the fel d 1 in their saliva, and those tiny but potent glycoprotiens drift all over everywhere, sticking to clothing, curtains, rugs and even walls.
While there have been many studies on why humans are allergic to cats, few scientists have looked at why some cats are allergic to humans. But veterinarian Nicki Reed and other researchers at the University of Edinburgh's Hospital for Small Animals looked at the causes of asthma in cats and came up with a list that includes human dandruff, household dust and cigarette smoke.
Dusty, scented cat litter was another culprit. Reed told National Geographic News the number of cats with asthma is increasing as more and more cats are kept inside and are unable to escape the irritants that cause those coughing spells.
If your cat has asthma, just making some changes in his environment might be all he needs to feel better. In addition to household dust and cigarette smoke, these are some common triggers of asthma in cats.
- Scented, dusty cat litter
- Cleaning products
- Perfumed laundry detergents
- Perfume and hair spray Dryer sheets
- Carpet fresheners
- Air fresheners
- Scented candles
- Feather pillows
- Ragweed, grass and tree pollens
- Mold
- Fireplace smoke
Cats between the ages of two and eight are the most likely to develop asthma, and female cats are twice as likely to become asthmatic as male cats are. Siamese and Himalayan breeds seem to get asthma more often than other breeds.
It's been years since I've used commercial cleaning products or air fresheners or burned scented candles because I know they can be toxic to cats. It make sense that they could also cause asthma.
But it never occurred to me that cats could be allergic to human dander until I stumbled across an article online. Not sure what to do about that. Cats shed, and apparently humans do, too.

A lot of people today rely on text messaging when communicating with friends, colleagues, and family members. This communication medium started with feature phones and is now popular among smartphone users. The #Samsung #Galaxy #S6 for example has an extensive text messaging feature which allows users to not only sent texts but pictures as well. There are however instances when issues can occur when trying to send a message which is what we will address today. In this latest installment of our troubleshooting series we will tackle the Galaxy S6 text message app refreshing issue & other related problems.

S6 Text Message App Refreshing
Problem: My Samsung Galaxy S6 just completed a software update (G920VVRU4CPC2). Upon the completion of the update, my texting app that comes on the phone will no longer work. When I open the app…it will just sit and spin with the message "Refreshing". The phone will then periodically restart itself. I tried the other Messaging app that is on the Galaxy "Messenger" and it responds in the same way. All other apps on my phone work just fine.
Related Problem: I just updated to marshmallow and now the default app for text messaging, messages, just says refreshing. I've deleted the system cache and the app cache and it's still not working. I have allot of valuable irreplaceable photos I don't want to lose so I'm afraid to do any kind of reset. It keeps rebooting on it's own as well. I haven't downloaded anything new to my phone in a few weeks.
Solution: Does this issue only occur for the messaging app? If this is the only app that has the problem then try to clear the cache and data of the messaging app. Should this fail to resolve the issue you will need to wipe the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode then check if the issue still occurs.
One other factor that you should also consider is that a third party app installed in your phone is causing the problem. To check if this is the case just start the phone in Safe Mode. Once your phone is in this mode only the pre-installed apps are allowed to run. Check if the issue still occurs in this mode. If the problem does not occur then it could be caused by an app you downloaded. Find out what app this is and uninstal it.
If the above troubleshooting steps fail then your last option is to do a factory reset. Take note that you need to backup your phone data before performing this step.
S6 Not Sending Picture Message While On Wi-Fi
Problem: My only issue is when I try to send a picture through text while I am on wifi the circle keeps turning and it won't send until I switch back to 4G. It does that on any wifi I connect too. It's really annoying. I don't know what the issue is and would like to know if there is anything I can do to fix it. I have only had my phone for 3 months and I have already had to go and have them reset the phone back to new and start over due to my phone getting extremely hot and found out the android was running at 70%, something in the background was constantly running. I haven't had the same issue after having them do that but now I have the issue I explained above. Hope you can help..Thanks.
Solution: When attaching a picture to a standard text message this message is converted to MMS. One of the requirements for MMS to work is that you have an active mobile data subscription. This means that MMS messages are sent using a mobile data subscription and not through Wi-Fi. This is the reason why the picture message that you are trying to send does not send out when your phone is on a Wi-Fi connection.
S6 Cannot Send Receive Text Message After Marshmallow Update
Problem: I updated to Marshmallow today, seemed to have a successful install, but ever since I cannot send or receive any text messages. I have tried my 3rd party app (Go SMS Pro) as well as the Verizon Message+ app and Samsung Messages app that shipped with the phone. Upon opening Go SMS Pro, the phone will lock for about 20 seconds and then restart. When I open a text convo in Message+, it says "sending disabled"
Related Problem: Cannot send or receive texts through any apps. Used Messenger originally, but after update, I could type messages, but they wouldn't send. Tried messages (default app) and Hangouts as well. Facebook messenger works as does Hangouts when working within their network, but it freezes and restarts when you attempt an SMS. Tried clearing data, restarting, reinstalling the messenger app, and now it won't even pull up my saved messages. Please help
Solution: The first thing that you should do is to confirm with your carrier if there are any network or account related issues that could prevent you from sending or receiving a text message. Once you have confirmed that the network or your account does not have a problem then proceed with troubleshooting the phone. Since the issue also occurs when using third party text messaging apps I suggest that you do a factory reset to resolve this issue. Make sure to backup your phone data before doing this.
S6 Text Message App Lag After Marshmallow Update
Problem: I got the newest update 3 nights ago and now my text function is barely working. I hit the app and it takes about 5 seconds to load. then another five to pull up the keyboard and another 5 to give a cursor and even then the letters randomly populate. I usually have to go and delete all the text and start over really slow. None of my other functions are having problems. Just this. It's incredibly frustrating.
Related Problem: Texting (the app that came standard with the phone) worked perfectly until I did the 6.0.1 upgrade a week or so ago. Now it's super slow to respond, sometimes as long as 2 minutes to type and send a single SMS text. Those with whom I communicate regularly (and thus have many months of texts on file) are the worst. Deleting those threads are not an option; I'm required to keep 3 months worth of conversations. Is there a fix? Can I "UN" upgrade? Everything worked great before.
Solution: Does this issue only occur when using the messaging app? If it does, you need to clear the cache and data of this app from the application manager. It's also best if you follow this up by wiping the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode. What these two procedures do is to take out any temporary data stored in the phone that could be causing this problem.
Try to check if the text messaging app now works normally. If it doesn't then you should consider doing a factory reset. Take note that you need to backup your phone data first before doing this procedure.
S6 Unfortunately Messages Has Stopped Error After Marshmallow Update
Problem: When trying to send a text to anyone that I haven't recently texted I can compose the message hit send and get this "unfortunately messages has stopped" this didn't start happening until I updated to marshmallow.
Solution: One of the most effective ways to deal with this issue is to clear the cache and data of the messaging app. It's also best if you follow this up by wiping the cache partition of your phone from the recovery mode.

It may be. Certainly some people will have studied the issue, and not all will reach the same conclusion. If your OS is VxWorks, for example, and you feel that using semaphonres is a good way to solve your problem, then there are loads of reasons why Erlang might not be a good choice. We have actively discouraged people from using Erlang on VxWorks in the past. I guess VxWorks supports memory protection now, so combining C and Erlang on VxWorks is perhaps no longer the disaster it used to be. >> If you're investing millions annually into developing complex >> software, why is it unreasonable to put some money into actually >> _investigating_ if new implementation techniques might shave off >> a portion of that, perhaps getting you to market faster, and >> allowing you to save money on maintenance as well? > > Perhaps is the big word.

But no one suggested that. Joe suggested that one important reason why people dislike mixing languages is that many language environments don't mix well, and it's very difficult to get them to interoperate. There are several domains where Erlang isn't a contender at all. There are some domains where Erlang might be a good alternative, but it's not obviously better than other, more established approaches. Then there are domains where Erlang is so much better than e.g. C++ that practically all who give it a chance find it hard to believe the grudgery they used to put themselves through. Even in these domains, many people will refuse to give it a chance. Some will claim that they do this on good grounds, and talk portentously about business cases and risk reduction. Some will fight it for political gain, or perhaps because they happen to dislike a person who is much in favour of it. Then again, some people will simply prioritize differently and/or disagree that Erlang would be so much better. (If I had to guess, I'd place you in the middle category. Many of the arguments in this thread have been about the latter one.) Still, with very few exceptions, people are not malicious and honestly try to make the best choices in each situation. The fact that people given the same data can still draw completely opposite conclusions is both stimulating and good for our evolution, I think. (: /Uffe

To: House Appropriations - Human Resources Division
From: Christopher T. Dodson, Executive Director
Subject: HB 1012 and HB 1072: Economic Assistance and Alternatives to Abortion Program
Date: January 25, 2017
The North Dakota Catholic Conference asks this committee to increase the appropriation for the Alternatives to Abortion program.
The Alternatives to Abortion program was authorized by the 2005 Legislative Assembly. It reimburses pregnancy centers, adoption agencies, and maternity homes for services to pregnant women and women who think they might be pregnant. The 2005 legislature appropriated $500,000 for the biennium, the entire amount coming from special funds from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant. The appropriation today is still $500,000 a biennium.
This might not be a problem if the costs of providing services was the same as it was in 2005 and the number of women served in the program remain stagnant. It has not. In 2011 the Department contracted with Village Family Services to administer the program, including publicity for the services. The number of women served has since more than doubled. Without additional funding, the Village reduced the reimbursement rate several times until it eventually ran out of funding before the 2013-2015 biennium ended.
At the same time, the percentage of pregnant women choosing abortion fell.
Probably no other group of service providers has not received any reimbursement increase since 2005. This is a successful program that does not use any state funds, uses the private charitable sector, saves lives, and helps women address the very same factors that contribute to poverty. It is time we explore how to increase the program's funding so that we can ensure that the Alternatives to Abortion program continues.

By Rick Reeno: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer spoke with BoxingScene.com and explained the factors which influenced WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26KOs) to pass over Amir Khan in favor of Marcos Maidana as the opponent of choice for May 3rd, likely at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Khan (28-3, 19KOs), inactive since last June after he struggled to decision Julio Diaz, was viewed for months as the frontrunner to fight Mayweather.
However, Maidana (35-3, 31KOs) made a major statement, and quickly entered the Mayweather sweepstakes, after scoring one of the biggest upsets of 2013 with a twelve round unanimous decision victory over previously undefeated Adrien Broner to capture the WBA welterweight title at the Alamodome in December. Besides handing Broner his first defeat, Maidana also scored two knockdowns in the contest.
"I actually talked to Floyd last night, I saw Floyd last night and talked to him about it. I think what it came down to, is that Maidana had such a strong performance, a statement performance against Adrien Broner, who a lot of people felt was going to be the next Floyd Mayweather, a superstar, and that still might very well be the case..no question about it," Schaefer told BoxingScene.com.

Marlins will honor Parkland shooting victims by wearing school's cap in spring game
The Miami Marlins plan to honor the victims and survivors of last week's deadly shooting at Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland, Fla., by wearing the school's caps during its first spring training game.
The Marlins will wear the caps Friday when they open Grapefruit League action against the St. Louis Cardinals. The shooting — which claimed the lives of 17 people — has already inspired Marlins players to act in other ways too.
[Batter up: Join a Yahoo Fantasy Baseball league for free today]
First baseman Justin Bour said Monday that he plans to visit the school's baseball team this week, according to the Miami Herald:
"I thought I would jump at the opportunity to be there and spend some time with those guys," Bour said. "After it happened, I let them know if there was anything I could do, I'd be more than willing to help them."
New outfielder Lewis Brinson — who came to the Marlins in the Christian Yelich trade — visited two Douglas High students in the hospital recently. He's from Coral Springs, which is next to Parkland.

Please Sir, Can I Have Some More? How Britain's Vulnerable Live on the Outskirts of Poverty
One in five people in the UK live below the country's official poverty line according to the charity Oxfam. If you compare the UK to my home country of South Africa, which has roughly the same population (59 million to Britain's 64 million) but a GDP ranking in the mid-30s, the question arises as to why-when Britain is the world's 6th largest economy.
South Africa has 23 million of its people living below the poverty line, and while that is not acceptable, it's understandable.
In the UK, almost 150,000 people were fed by foodbanks in 2012- a figure that more than doubled the next year.
By contrast in South Africa, poverty numbers have been declining steadily over the last five years according to the Poverty Trends Report.
So, what's causing 13 million people in the UK to struggle everyday, having to decide between food and heating?
Many analysts blame this new crisis on benefit cuts, which the new coalition government has brought about; without the government funding to top their salaries and rising living costs, people are simply not earning enough to support their families.
Since 2010, Britain's coalition government has cut benefits to families, the elderly and disabled. The coalition, which has been derided in left-wing media for being run by a majority of private school-boys has been accused of being out of touch with the reality of the average citizen's life.
Whether or not this is true, the figures show that hundreds of thousands of people who are deemed to have an "extra" bedroom in the UK have up to 25 percent of their benefits cut by the government; this has caused many to be referred to foodbanks or go hungry.
According to KHT, a non-profit housing association in Merseyside, a year after the bedroom tax and other benefit changes were introduced, average rent arrears in households went up by 35 percent.
The Trussel Trust is a charity that coordinates hundreds of foodbanks across the UK. Initially the Trust used to collect funds for the underprivileged in Bulgaria. However, their creators realised there was a problem in their home country when a woman refused to give them money on the grounds that she herself was starving. The couple sent the woman away with some food and started up foodbanks across the country.
The foodbank is a community resource. At some of them, people are given hot meals when they arrive and can meet with someone who will try to help them through their crisis.
Generally, foodbanks are tied to a main charity and have links with local supermarkets, where they have drop-boxes. Members of the public use these drop-boxes to put in non-perishable items like rice, pasta and tinned goods, which are then passed on to foodbanks to distribute.
People who attend the foodbanks are referred by doctors, social workers or benefits agencies that recognise their needs. In a six-month period, a person is only allowed a total of 9 days of food, so a culture of dependency isn't created. If people are referred more than twice in a 6 month period, the foodbank organisers get in touch with the referral agency to find out why the client's problem has not been solved successfully.
Even so, many are embarrassed to take advantage of this resource. In some instances doctors say people have either been cutting down on meal sizes or skipping them altogether rather than go to a foodbank.
Liam Hannan is the Manager of the Manchester Central Foodbank, he said: "There is some stigma the first time people come to us but after that they are happy to come back. We give out vouchers to people who are referred and only 60% come back for food vouchers. I have absolutely no idea why 40% don't come back but I suspect that stigma plays a big part in this."
Hannan says over the last five months, more medical professionals are referring patients to the foodbanks, as they have seen a rise in malnutrition and poverty, which had not been seen before.
The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA), which is a registered educational charity that is independent from all political parties, has researched the issue academically. It blames the problems in Britain on the current government's new laws that raise the daily cost of living for families.
In fact, it says all politicians push for policies that make themselves look better but actually lead to essential costs like childcare, housing and energy going up for the average family.
The IEA Director General, Mark Littlewood says: "Times are tough for millions of families up and down the country. But this will not be fixed by introducing new laws, taxes and regulations. To really reduce the cost of living (in Britain) politicians must urgently tackle the root causes rather than impose populist quick fixes"
The British Medical Journal has warned that the rise in food poverty has "all the signs of a public health emergency" and while Liam Hannan doesn't think the situation has quite come to that yet, he agrees life has become difficult for the average citizen.
He said: "We have people who come to us from the (prison) probation service and find life quite frustrating on the outside, they say " At least inside you're given your meals". The vast majority of people don't want to offend but don't feel they have any other choice, I've spoken to a woman who did time because she needed to feed her kids. She lost everything and I would have liked to have helped prevent that."

I'm a crafty kind of girl. So this blog is a place for me to share all the crafty things I attempt, along with an occasional personal anecdote. I tried a blog in the past but just couldn't get into it. I think I was hoping it would turn into a money-making blogging powerhouse, with book deals and personal appearances and all that. What pressure to put on oneself! I was writing for an audience, instead of for myself. This time will be different. This time, I am creating a blog so that I have a place to share my hobbies without bugging all my friends on Facebook who could care less that I just made another thingamajig. This time, I'm not going to worry that my photos are kinda dark, or that my post doesn't contain the right keywords. This time, I'm concentrating on the enjoyment I get out of making something and sharing it with anyone who cares to read along.
With that said, here's what I'm working on now. My mom bought me a jelly roll of the latest line from French General for Moda (thanks mom!). This design was made in Corel Draw, so I just approximated the color and design elements to get the general idea. I wanted to do something a little abstract, and keep the strips mostly in tact so that you can see the designs better. I've already finished piecing the top, I just haven't gotten the images off the camera yet. I'm trying to decide how to quilt it next. I think I'm going to do parallel wavy lines running from bottom left to top right to emphasize the directionality shown in the color progression built into the top. They'll be done in a red thread. Whaddya think?
In the beginning...Posted in quilting on 7:00 PM by Wendy

The last couple weeks have been busy ones at our house. We visited with some friends from out of town who are here for a couple of weeks and with friends who are moving out West later this week. We spent a few days tent camping up in the mountains of western North Carolina and then came home to discover that our computer had died. (It was rather ironic going from a time with no electricity to being so dependent on modern technology.) We were able to purchase a new laptop and Rob has been very busy setting it up and trying to restore things the way we would like to have them.
Grandson Ryan visited today while his parents went to a prenatal visit. Mark and Katie's little girl is due very soon. We have several birthdays and anniversaries in the family during the next two weeks and will soon add another birthday to the calendar. We are very excited to meet this new little girl.
I'm not normally a coffee drinker but for some reason I really enjoy coffee flavored desserts. I was intrigued when I saw this recipe for Coffee Mousse recently and decided to try it. It is a light dessert made with unflavored gelatin. The only change I would make to the original recipe would be to stir in a small amount of the cool whip initially and then fold in the rest to make a more uniform texture. My picture doesn't make it look too attractive, but it is very refreshing and tasty. If you need a cool summer dessert you might like to give this a try.

As I raked winter's sodden debris from the garden, a chevron of Canadian geese passed over. The leader, cleaving the sky with strong, regular beats of his wings, kept his head pointed north, unwavering. Ten more geese followed, strung out in a perfect V. Several yards behind a straggler, calling in anxious cadence, struggled to close the gap and take his place at the end of a skein.
I wondered about that straggler. Was he—or she?—weaker than the others. Had he lingered aground for one more nibble at a fresh shoot of grass? Had he been distracted by a passing seagull, a forming cloud, a burst of wind, or something on the ground below? Or, did he just want to stay put?
If I migrated twice each year, would I be that straggler? Would I look forward to the journey, train and prepare for it? Or would I put off even thinking about it until the others lifted off and called for me to follow?
I have friends who, by choice, "migrate" spring and fall, moving from New York to South Carolina, from Washington to California. They have "nests" established in two places, north and south. When they arrive, except for stocking the pantry and airing out the house, they're all set.
Birds, of course, migrate from necessity. They take flight in search of warmth, food, mating and breeding grounds. The changing seasons nudge them along with chill winds, longer nights, less available food. My "migratory friends" also feel a seasonal nudge—a frost delay at the golf course, flurries in the air, a chill in their bones, or, in the spring, sweat on their brows, a yearning to be among northern family and friends.
Some birds, however, don't migrate. The juncos and chickadees in my back yard, the towhees and the crows—they all tough it out. To my yearly amazement, male hummingbirds stay behind to guard their territory and somehow survive nights of snow and ice.
My husband likes the idea of migration. Dreary Northwest winters drag him to the brink of depression. He glares at those tiny pictures of clouds in the weekly weather forecast and floats trial balloons filled with images of warm days, sunny skies, golden beaches and green golf courses. While I have no quarrel with the concept of being somewhere else through the short, dark days, I dread the process of migration, the planning, the packing, the paring down of possessions, the preparations for leaving one "nest" for another.
In the grand scheme of things, he's a robin or a swallow—he feels the call of adventure in a powerful way. I feel it, too, but I'm less inclined to respond than I was years ago. Somehow I've turned into a chickadee or a towhee. Having found a comfortable spot, I'd rather hang out around the feeder than flap my wings for days on end.
But we're mated. The day will come when we will migrate. And when we do, he'll be like that lead goose, intent on the destination, not looking back. I, of course, will be the straggler.
How do you feel about migration? Leave us a comment.

"Monkeys," said the Hollywood mogul Arthur P Jacobs, "make good movies. They always have." Such certainty was earned: Jacobs produced the first Planet of the Apes film in 1968 – the same year as another chimpy classic, 2001: A Space Odyssey. So immediate was Planet's success ($33m from a budget of $5m) that Jacobs knocked out four sequels before his sudden death in 1973. Once unleashed, the Apes were unstoppable, spawning two TV shows, a comic book, a tonne of merchandising, a remake and a reboot, which is out next week.
Since cinema began, apes have been in on the action – evidence, says Variety's Stephen Gaydos, of the movies' debt to the carnival: "Primates were always an integral part of showbiz, so when circuses made way for film, they just moved over." At first it was freak-show stuff, either slapstick or schlock in which scientists try melding man and monkey, rarely to happy effect. But unlike, say, dogs, or ducks, this was a species that swiftly proved endlessly malleable to almost any genre. Farce? Easy. Horror? No problem. Pathos? Just hand me the shackles.
Some go so far as to say they saved cinema. In 1933, just as the talkies were looking like a busted flush, King Kong stormed into town. It was the first blockbuster and the first franchise (34 sequels and counting) – no chance of them staying in their cage after that.
Sidekick primates, from the Three Stooges' Dodger to Clint's Clyde, made for irresistible hits; murderous monkeys for easy metaphor. As Howard Hawks's Monkey Business showed, you could even set a screwball comedy in a vivisection lab.
Next week, two monkey movies open simultaneously in the UK. There's that reboot, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, an origins flick that shows how earth came to be overrun in the first place (botched medical research, a genetically modified super-chimp, dim captors plus a nasty virus). At the other side of the multiplex is the latest documentary from James Marsh, who won an Oscar for Man on Wire. Project Nim is a study in hippy folly: a chronicle of an experiment in 70s New York to raise a chimp as a child – and its fallout.
So far, so superficially on script. Yet these movies mark a change in primate cinema: its purpose, its effect, and its message. Alongside Nénette (2010), Nicolas Philibert's quietly audacious film about a 40-year-old orangutan in a Paris zoo, they seem at first to confirm Jacobs's adage, then to confound it. Yes, monkeys have always made good movies – whether or not they'll continue to do so suddenly seems doubtful.
Why? Well, first off, none of these films is really about monkeys. For all Nénette's apparent documentary observation, its heroine is a red herring. As Philibert's editing priorities prove – shots of Nénette were cut to fit with an audio track of onlookers trying to guess her mood – it's all about us, exposing the human assumption that other species share our world-view.
Nim, likewise, features old footage of a real chimp, spliced with that of a furred-up actor employed to re-enact crucial scenes not recorded at the time. It was, says, Bob Ingersoll, a former carer for Nim – and one of the few humans who comes out of the saga with dignity – a condition of his involvement: "No way was I going to be involved in something that used real chimps," he told me down the line from Mindy's Memory Primate Sanctuary, his institution in Oklahoma. "It would have undermined the whole movie."
Rise of the Planet of the Apes does the same, but higher-tech: using an actor (Andy Serkis, who has played Gollum and King Kong for Peter Jackson), performance-capture technology and lashings of CGI. "It's frighteningly realistic," says John Lithgow, who plays the father of chief scientist James Franco, who adopts the orphaned chimp, christened Caesar, who in turn goes on to lead the revolt against humanity.
Lithgow saw the movie the evening before we spoke, and was still spooked by the "zoological" level of detail. "This isn't corny ape makeup and leather jumpsuits. That's why it's so powerful."
So: progress. Just as the PG Tips chimps were ditched for Johnny Vegas's sock puppet, shifting attitudes have meant flesh-and-blood monkeys are all but unemployed at the movies. And, says Patti Ragan, who runs an ape rescue centre in Florida (residents include Clyde and Bubbles), the real thing was hardly a guarantee of accuracy anyway. "They undergo rigorous training. No movie that uses live great apes really depicts anything true."
Rachel Mayeri, who makes films for a chimp audience (using human actors dressed as chimps, natch), goes further: wildlife documentaries are yet more pernicious. "They're under the radar. So often they're morality tales about human sexuality and gender relations, laying on a narrative that just isn't there, just treating primates as human ids – us without inhibition."
The sympathy we're supposed to have for the creatures in Apes and Nim, on the other hand, is on their own terms. Says Lithgow: "Your heart breaks for Caesar. He's so martyred and he overcomes it and then becomes a very dangerous hero." Director Rupert Wyatt echoes Ingersoll when he explains why he used CGI: "There was no way we could put actors in simian suits [and] it would have been a bit of an irony to be telling the story of our most exploited and closest cousins, and use live apes to tell that story."
This, then, is the other key difference: these films are contemporary angst monkey movies, penitential reflections of our mistreatment of our closest cousins. Cinema has long used primates to explore our own bestial nature, but what has happened lately is that brutishness has been transferred from ape to man, as the monkeys are sentimentalised as innocent versions of humans, and brutality is presented as something that only humans are capable of – unless, as in the climax of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, the monkeys are really, really pushed.
Once anthropomorphising animals was sneered at as a childish indulgence, now it's seen as logical for grownups, too, especially as science suggests we're more like our primate cousins than even Darwin clocked. Nim, with its lovable humanoid chimp and beastly scientists takes this process to its logical conclusion. The medics in Planet are more misguided than vainglorious, but even in that film, we're rooting for the apes.
"It's the end of the liberal dream that you could change the world for the better," says Adam Curtis, who used footage of Dian Fossey's work trying to prove human goodness through our closeness to gorillas in the closing episode of All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace.
"When that failed it was taken as evidence of the dark genetic forces with humans. If we are all connected, we can't be made good. So now we're left with liberals going to documentaries that say to them: you are bad, you are flawed, we're all a bit crap and there's nothing you can do about it. That's nature."
Nénette and Project Nim can afford to say that. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, however, is a side-of-a-bus flick whose audience doesn't want to be sent home stricken with self-loathing. Given that, the extent to which it does peddle the same pro-primate agenda as those documentaries is remarkable.
Their message is clear: we must quit an idea of cross-species connection, not just for the primates' sake, but for our own, as when we tamper we risk unleashing dangerous forces. In fact, there's something lazily appealing about the idea that science doesn't know everything, that you must simply look for guidance to the chimp.
Curtis sees it as symptomatic of a wider mood, one that admits human fallibility but takes solace in the bigger picture. "It's a resigned acceptance that the great project is over; a lowering of the horizons of what's achievable. Most attempts to change the world for the better – in Iraq, with atomic power – have led to terrible consequences. This is the new democracy which says elites who tell us things are bad." Chimps on the other hand, lead by example.
So what are the movies to do with monkeys now? Turn them into superheroes and the humans their foe? Not likely. It might even, perhaps, lead to a backlash, to a return to the apes' vaudevillian role: there's something militant about Jeremy Thomas's assertion of our otherness in Not a Chimp – his rebuttal of Desmond Morris's The Naked Ape, whose thesis documented the evolutionary uncertainty that led to experiments such as Nim.
One thing is certain: as human individualism leads us to become ever more intolerant, and as species isolation exerts a stronger and stronger grip, the impulse to connect with something other than each other won't abate. Enter, then – or, rather, re-enter – the alien. Out this week is Super 8, JJ Abrams's love-letter to ET (a monkey movie in sci-fi clothing), in which a final-reel connection between a boy and a creature from another planet proves earth's salvation. If monkeys can no longer help us out of our lonely hole, cinema will keep searching for something that will.

I have no information about such matters, no instructions on how to submit proposals that might have a chance of being accepted. I just see that this particular entry is grossly outdated and was wrong even 17 years ago, so the first move would apparently be to remove the current explanations, as they are not helpful at all. If there is no one to take this simple action, which should have been taken long ago, I don't think it pays off to spend time in constructing some new wording.

A bit later than planned (been busy with work and my new GPU), but here it is, none the less. There might still be some bugs in the 9th ed version due to a sync error with an earlier version, but I've tried to fix all I've found. The Chaos Dwarf update is dependant on some new pictures from Tamurkhan that a friend is getting for me, so it will either be a bit delayed, or I will work on the Cult of Ulric update in the meantime.
- Lore of Ying and Yan are separate lores with access to boosted versions of their spells. Wizards still get access to both lores as before.

E-studying has the potential to include Indigenous Peoples' in learning processes that address expertise, knowledge and qualification gaps that exist and are wanted to achieve successful employment outcomes. The school aims to strengthen the potentials of indigenous youth for group management. This scholarship was established in 2016 in cooperation with InterVISTAS and is meant to have a good time the management and innovation of Gerry Bruno, the founding CEO of InterVISTAS Consulting and a revered chief in commercial airport management. A suicide crisis amongst Indigenous youth, a lot of whom were compelled to go away their hometown to go to highschool distant, has brought this difficulty to the fore.
From an financial perspective, expenditure on education refers to the amount or proportion of nationwide revenue spent on education by both people and the government. Well, the obvious benefit is the chance to apply the extra funding to your education or scholar loans. For instance, if college systems are sending teachers out to distant Indigenous communities, they have to guarantee these lecturers are prepared for neighborhood life and that they've strong expertise in educating English as a second language.
On a worldwide scale, many of those organizations engage in lively information switch in an effort to protect and promote indigenous data and education modes. The expectation was that by removing college students from the poorly staffed, inadequately outfitted, closely church-oriented day schools, assimilation would be accelerated and the training outcomes of students would enhance.
As such the training system is often seen as a social issue which must replicate the ethos of the those that it serves. After 1830, when administration was transferred to the secretary of state for the colonies, some cash was diverted to education by way of donations to church organizations. The nationwide elements of these nations usually present differences which are mirrored in their training system.
At both universities, students should take no less than one Indigenous studies course as a way to graduate. For the reason that late Nineteen Sixties, submit-secondary training in Canada has made efforts to include Indigenous histories and studies into their programs. The casual and non-formal schooling subsets are sometimes assumed to be a part of the formal training and if not ignored altogether, they're given little attention.
Colonialism has been an essential historical factor that can be mentioned to have shaped the education system of many African nations and others on the earth. Lack of a proper nationwide character, implies that the nationwide schooling system won't be able to understand its goals. Enrolments in provincial faculties rose quickly and by 1960, there have been about 10,000 Indigenous college students attending off-reserve provincial faculties.
