Head mounted displays are not a new concept, and although their boom was probably back at the end of the last century and the beginning of this one, they never became mainstream and kind of disappeared lately from the market. But users' interest hasn't disappeared in them at all and during CES 2011 last month Sony has rekindled this interest by showing a new prototype of a Head Mounted Display that may or may not become available at some point as a commercial product. With Sony's device however only the specs were upgraded from previously available similar products, but apparently there are also people working on new concepts that are very promising and that try to implement completely new ideas that can help overcome some of the limitations of the HMDs. The video above shows a few concepts for a future possible HMD device, 3D capable as well, developed by Deisler De Leon Vargas that shows a lot of promise, and he has even patented some of his ideas. The problem however is that he does not yet have the resources to build a prototype of the device himself, but maybe his idea will be picked up and further developed. Take a look at the video above to see what he is proposing as a new generation of an HDM device…

Corporate Attendees
- Event marketing through exhibitions is a high-yield marketing channel. Recent reports show every $1 spent on events marketing equates to $12 in revenue
- B2B marketing has been and will remain highly dependent on face-to-face events
- Businesses spend an average of $600 per employee per event
- Large companies send an average of 100 to 350 employees to major conferences and trade shows
- Businesses attend at least 2 to 3 major events annually
- Most large and international corporations do not have total visibility on number of employees sent to events
At Eventsplug, we believe businesses, especially those with strong events attendance, should be offered preferred registration rates similar to corporate rates offered by airlines, hoteliers and travel agencies. Businesses can save between 10 to 40% on registration cost. Employees will also enjoy our reward points program.
How We Do It – Simple! Demand Consolidation
We aggregate the attendance demand of our corporate clients and use as leverage in negotiating preferred registration rates with organizers. Since most conferences, training and marketing budgets are pre-determined, all savings made go directly to our clients' bottom-line!
Why Businesses Don't Negotiate Preferred Rates?
Since most major conferences and trade shows are planned by different organizers, businesses face the inherent inefficiencies of negotiating preferred rates with numerous entities and as a result, don't. This is due to the proverbial "cost vs benefit" conundrum!
How To Become a Corporate Client
Our process is simple does not requires dramatic changes to the way businesses operate. For process effectiveness, it is best an executive takes ownership or endorses the process
- Signup for FREE as an EventsPlug corporate client
- Company-wide email / message is sent to all employees directing them to provide the names of all conferences and exhibitions attended in the previous 12 months. Email will direct employees to an intranet page or to a secure Eventsplug page. We provide giveaways to incentivize form completion
- EventsPlug compiles and consolidates the data and provide client with expected future savings (10 – 40%, depending on industry and demand)

Miami Dolphins
Pride on the line in Miami Dolphins' final two games
The Dolphins couldn't win a home game against the New York Jets last December with a playoff berth on the line. So how will they muster the motivation to win two home games (against the Minnesota Vikings and Jets), with their playoff hopes realistically — though not yet mathematically — dashed?
"Pride," Mike Wallace said. "We get paid to do this. No matter what the record is, you've got to play every game like you're playing to win the Super Bowl."
Offensive coordinator Bill Lazor said the staff already has begun preparations for the Vikings and "the players need to see that from us. When they walk through the door [Tuesday], they are going to [get] our greatest effort to get them ready to get a W."
With Koa Misi and Jelani Jenkins sidelined, Miami's depleted linebacker unit was shredded in pass coverage Sunday.
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 4 of 5 passes for 55 yards against Jason Trusnik (who also had an interception off a deflection), 3 for 3 for 62 yards against Phillip Wheeler and 2 for 2 for 19 yards against Kelvin Sheppard. Also, safety Jimmy Wilson allowed all four passes thrown against him to be caught for 74 yards and a touchdown.
Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski beat Trusnik, Wheeler and Wilson for big plays in the second half. So why didn't defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle use Dion Jordan more in coverage against Gronkowski, considering Jordan's success in that matchup in the past?
Jordan played just 18 of Miami's 65 defensive snaps and was assigned to Gronkowski four or five times, Coyle said.
Coyle said that Gronkowski did much of his damage on early downs, and Coyle felt more comfortable playing his linebackers (and not Jordan) on those early downs.
▪ Lazor, on why he ran the ball (unsuccessfully) on a third-and-6 on Miami's first possession and on a third-and-3 early in the second half:
"We felt great about them, about the opportunity to get first downs from them, and obviously both failed," he said. "… Runs that you think are going to convert third downs into first downs … it is critical to use them and so we are looking for them all the time."
▪ Cornerback Jamar Taylor, who had missed the previous two games with a shoulder injury, was active for the game, but Coyle suggested he did not play because of a coaching decision.
▪ The Dolphins waived tight end Gator Hoskins and promoted tight end Gerell Robinson from their practice squad.

We have wrapped up our shape unit in Kindergarten this year and I just had to share one of my kiddos FAVORITE activities that we did.
They LOVE working with our interactive board. These sheets that I have in my Daily 3: Math By Myself - Unit 3: Shapes packet worked wonders with my class this year.
We practiced a few of the sheets on the board and then they were able to practice on the board during center time. There were hard copies for them to complete after as well. They just LOVED it!

Should I Apply for DACA?
Should I Apply for DACA ?
As of February 2nd, 2017 there is a heightened concern surrounding the fate of DACA. Many people who stepped forward and trusted the U.S. government to treat them fairly applied for the DACA program. Now that Trump has been elected, the political landscape has shifted and along with it, the Executive Branch's priorities. People have a right to be very concerned about the fate they or their relatives face under the DACA program. Nothing concrete has happened yet but anyone considering applying for DACA should be informed of the potential risks. The risks are potentially catastrophic such as deportation. One should really consult with a lawyer to have them examine their individual situation.
Before we move on to the current DACA situation here is a little background on the concept of Deferred Action. Deferred Action is basically a type of prosecutorial discretion. It is not a right or an official immigration benefit. However, it has been a practical benefit for thousands of people and their families, employers, friends and society as whole. Deferred action describes the choice by DHS to not target certain people for deportation. Deferred Action can be granted at any stage of the enforcement process. Normally we think of it as something people apply for before they are picked up and detained. However, it can currently be applied for even during or after removal proceedings. The USCIS and ICE are responsible for the bulk of the deferred action requests.
Surprisingly, deferred action has been around in some form for more than several decades. It once was more of a secret program reserved for attorneys familiar with the program. It was one form of prosecutorial discretion deemed appropriate. The reasons for prosecutorial discretion are usually humanitarian based.
It is vital to remember a couple of things especially now that President Trump will be taking office. First, deferred action does NOT confer a legal status. This is different from lawful presence. Second, Deferred Action is not legislation. It is revocable at any time. It provides only a tenuous safeguard or type of pseudo status, lacks many important legal criteria, provides no independent path to a green card or citizenship, and does not give permission to travel.
Except for the DACA program, traditional deferred action also lacks a form, a fee, or any guarantee that a person who requests it will be notified about its outcome or have the ability to appeal or challenge a decision to deny. In essence deferred action a is a short term protection from deportation. It also, as in DACA, allows someone to work in many cases.
DACA, announced in 2012, basically applies this Deferred Action concept to a category of young people. Under DACA, an individual must first satisfy certain criteria. The legal rationale is that because they were younger than 16 when they entered the country they could generally have been considered to have lacked the intent to break the immigration laws. They would have also have had to have lived in the U.S. continuously since a certain date and been physically present inside the United States on June 15, 2012. There also is an education requirement. An individual is disqualified from DACA if he or she has been convicted of certain crimes or otherwise deemed a threat to national security or public safety. USCIS adjudicates DACA requests on a case by case basis.
Risks of DACA
- Short term risks
Often the worst case scenario has been a denial and cost of the application fee. However for a certain unknown, but probably very small, percentage of applicants with certain criminal backgrounds they have been referred to ICE and other negative consequences. However the general rule, absent criminal history, fraud, threats to national security information provided in a DACA application was not protected from disclosure to ICE and CPB for purposes of immigration enforcement. *
- Long term Risks
Now that Donald Trump has been elected President the inherent risks of DACA are Staring us all in the face. The conduct of his administration is unpredictable as to DACA. However, it does not look good at his point. There has always been a wariness of a Republican President's effect on DACA. However, President Trump's stances on immigration makes DACA even more vulnerable. If his openly hostile rhetoric is any indication there is definitely cause for alarm. We just don not know for certain what his administration is going to do.
Historically, the U.S. government has not created a program like DACA and subsequently decided to enforce immigration laws against that population. Think of it as sort of a concept of good faith and fair dealing, gentlemen's agreement in essence. However, Trump is a new breed of President. We simply do not know what he will do.
On the bright side , those people who qualify for DACA would also normally fit the criteria for low priority targets for deportation due to the fact that they are not a threat to public safety and often have U.S. citizen or L.PR. family members.
Should I Apply for DACA while Trump is President?
Before applying for DACA relief you should exercise extreme caution. You should definitely speak to an attorney before you even think of applying for the first time. Renewals should be treated differently as well. Things are in a state of flux right now and it will be hard to predict what will happen. In addition, everyone's case or situation is different. This blog post or any other on this site is as not intended as legal advice and should not be taken as such. *

Rural Radio Policy Changes
On March 3, 2011, the Commission adopted a Second Report and Order in the Matter of Policies to Promote Rural Radio Service and to Streamline Allotment and Assignment Procedures (Rural Radio Order).
Among other things, the Rural Radio Order restricts the allotment of new stations in urban areas and further limits the criteria by which a station can propose to change its community of license into urban areas. The Commission affirmed that Section 307(b) "remains a vital provision of the Communications Act"; however, it also concluded that certain adjustments to the 307(b) priorities are necessary. Specifically, the Commission will customize its 307(b) analysis depending on service and type of application, while applying a higher level of scrutiny to all applications to move or change communities of license.

December 17, 2011
WITH the advent of the next general elections due anytime now, Harvard graduate and former ISA detainee Datuk Dr Jeffrey Gapari Kitingan of Sabah has found a new home to advance his political ambition by joining a 16-year-old Sarawak party, the Sarawak Reform Party (STAR).
This latest move illustrates the chequered political career of Jeffrey since he first entered into politics in February 1994 when he stood and won the Bingkor state seat on the ticket of Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS) led by his brother Tan Sri Joseph Pairin Kitingan.
Previous to that, Jeffrey had been the Director of Sabah Foundation and the executive chairman of its investment arm, Innoprise Corporation Sdn Bhd and considered the ideologue of PBS and confidant of Pairin who was then the chief minister of Sabah.
He had to resign from his posts at the Foundation to enter into the political arena and play a direct role in the affairs of the PBS.
His candidacy in that state elections (Feb 18-19) had not been easy going. It was reported that his brother and party president gave confirmation only after a long tussle.
But Jeffrey's maiden attempt at the polls, only a month after his release from a 31-month detention under the Internal Security Act (ISA), was impressive enough.
He secured 6,408 votes against 2,249 votes received by Barisan Nasional's John Sedomon of AKAR party and 688 for Datuk Ayub Aman, who stood as an independent.
However, when many PBS leaders started to make their exit and beginning to align themselves with the BN coalition, Jeffrey too made his move, firstly to the newly formed Parti Bersatu Rakyat Sabah (PBRS) and later to Parti Angkatan Keadilan Rakyat (AKAR).
His next switch of political parties was to United Pasokmomogun Kadazandusun Murut Organisation (UPKO).
In 2003, he was reported to have applied to join the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) but his application was rejected.
He then joined Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and rose to the rank of a vice president until his resignation from the position and the party on Oct 28, 2009.
In the March 2008 general elections, Jeffrey challenged his brother Joseph Pairin from BN in the Keningau Parliamentary Constituency, but lost.
Over the past year, Jeffrey has been traveling all over Sabah holding tea-parties to explain and galvanize support to his 'Borneo Agenda' cause.
Jeffrey was born in Kota Marudu, Sabah and a 1981 graduate of the Kennedy School of Government and a 1984 graduate of the Harvard-Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, both of the Harvard University, USA.
He was detained under the ISA reportedly on suspicion of plotting to take Sabah out of the federation of Malaysia.
He was the founding Chairman of the Institute for Development Studies (IDS) Sabah, established by the PBS state government in 1985.
He has spoken widely on Sabah's pre-Malaysia safeguards known as the '20 Points' and on Borneonization of the civil service.
Since leaving PKR a year ago as its member and national vice president, Jeffrey has been devoting time and energy in promoting the United Borneo Front (UBF) that he heads as president.
STAR president, Dr Dripin Sakoi, presented Jeffrey a membership card and document empowering him to lead a Sabah chapter of the party in time for the 13th general election.
Four of Jeffrey's allies in Sabah – Guandi Kohoi, Rubin Guribah, Jeffrey Telado and James Aik – were present to receive their membership cards from Sakoi Dec 16 at a restaurant in Penampang on the outskirts of Kota Kinabalu.
"We in the STAR fully subscribed and support the Borneo Agenda of UBF and it is time now for us to unite… I am calling on Jeffrey to come forward and receive his membership.
"He is now to lead the Sabah chapter of our party," Sakoi said amidst applause from some 300 supporters of UBF and guests who had gathered to celebrate UBF's first anniversary.
Earlier on, in his hour-long speech, Jeffrey announced the formation of an alliance with Sabah and Sarawak-based parties to be known as the United Borneo Alliance that would take on the ruling Barisan Nasional (BN) in the upcoming 13th general election.
Also present were: pro-tem president of newly revived Usno, Datu Badaruddin Tun Datu Mustapha and Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) deputy president Amde Sidik.
"Sabah and Sarawak have common interests. We feel there is a need to form an alliance as a platform for us to pursue the Borneo agenda.
"We (Sabah and Sarawak) can be teammates in protecting and safeguarding the interests and the rights of the people in both states," Jeffrey told reporters after making the announcement.
Only time will tell what would be the next move of this controversial figure in the political arena of Sabah and Sarawak.

This is my new book! It is the sequel to my first book UNDER A FAIRY MOON which won the Gelett Burgess Children's Book award for fantasy in 2012. I am very proud of it, but I didn't want to critique this book myself, so I asked another author, H. D. Moore to do it for me. He promised to be as honest as he could, and I promised not to be too sensitive. I think it worked out okay! 😉
Wintergarden is a story of coming of age set in a fantastic world of cross dimensional travel. It has elements of classic fantasy and modern science fiction. The target audience is young adult readers.
Wallace invites us into a journey of self-discovery for our protagonist, Addyson Marten. The tale begins at the end of a long cold winter. Spring though, seems a long way off, as Addy recovers from a lengthy illness. Addy comes to herself, but carries with her memories from her fever dreams that seem all too real. There is a boy she knows from these dreams but has never met in the real world.
Next door to Addy lives Mrs. Tavish whose home is set in a marvelous garden. It is this garden that gives the book its title. A preternaturally vast space, it is home to a Labyrinth, the center of which is populated by large stone statues.
Wallace leads us gently into the garden, inviting us to experience magic and mystery. The opening third of the story features the interaction between Mrs. Tavish and Addy. There is a quiet desperation to the older woman who has full knowledge of what Addy experienced. The initial fear and suspicion that Addy holds is gradually replaced by trust and compassion. She convinces Addy to enter the garden and so begins Addy's quest to find Connor, Mrs. Tavish's kidnapped son, and bring him home.
This is a journey tale, both into the landscape of the garden and into Addyson's exploration of who she truly is. The Labyrinth itself is the path of discovery as Addy encounters alternate realms, magical creatures, witches and her own fears and limitations. The description is painted on a broad canvas that unfolds as we go inward, following the spirals of both the Labyrinth and Addy's soul.
The second part of the book switches to a different protagonist and is told from his perspective. Connor, who is the son of Mrs. Tavish, is introduced as the Prince of Labyrinths. This mystical creature seems to be both a human child and something else. The story here gets somewhat murky and esoteric and I was glad to get back to Addyson in the third part of the book where her quest to rescue him resumes.
As in all quest stories, the going gets tougher the closer Addy gets to her goal. We encounter all manner of malevolent creatures along the way, all set to thwart Addy. She is persistent and plucky and remains undaunted even in the presence of the evil Queen Uhtrace. Triumph comes with Addyson's discovery of her true identity and she comes into her own.
I liked Addy and cheered her on. I can't say the same for the other protagonist, Connor, who I found to be a rather pathetic creature. Some of the supporting cast were marvelous, particularly the pixie, Enitua, who brought humor and playfulness to the story. I would recommend this story for older teens who are struggling with questions of identity and belonging.

1. Wait, isn't it Wednesday? – Damn right it is. I don't play by the rules.
2. Speaking of rules, what do you think about cussing in a church? I always figured, God knows I cuss when I'm outside a church, so why should I pretend to be any different inside of one?..I'm not foolin' anyone…
3. Hittin' the road for a show tomorrow (on the real Thursday) in Des Moines, IA. And not just any old Moines, but DEE Moines. Gas Lamp, 7pm
4. My dog Sam has a Pavlovian reaction to me sitting down to relax on the couch. As soon as I do it, he has to suddenly take a leak and wants to go outside.
5. I attempted a revolutionary, ingenious live trap set to remove a muskrat out of my pond (he's been doing some damage), because I really don't want to shoot him. That was 4 days ago. Still no muskrat.
6. Westbound and down I-80 this weekend for Kearney, NE for a two night stint at Cunningham's Journal. The last time we played there, we sat down to eat before the show and the first thing the college student waitress says to us after learning we're the band is, "So all the staff was saying none of the guys in the band are good-looking." Thanks, we're glad to be here too.
7. I've never really had a die-hard, favorite college team. When I was a kid, I briefly liked Iowa. Then Michigan State for a bit. I'll always root for Northern Illinois, since I kinda played there. Nowadays, I do like to see Illinois win (I'm emotionally over the fact that they never offered me a scholarship). And someone did give me this snazzy Nebraska hat recently. So we can at least definitively say I'm rooting for the Midwest.
8. I vividly remember being in my grandparents living room as a boy, watching my grandma thumb through a Ghost Rider comic book that I had foolishly left out on the dining room table. I can only imagine what she must've been thinking about this dude on a motorcycle with a flaming skull for a head, whipping people with his long chain.
9. Speaking of Grandma, we filmed in a beautiful, rural, central Illinois Church this week for a "Fetch Me" music video. I might've cussed a couple times. But not out of disrespect. Just habit. And, I kinda just am who I am (see #2).
10. About 17 or 18 hours on the road here in the next few days – any ideas for road games we can play?

My charming guest is none other than Rebecca Roberts, the multi-voiced talent you hear reading Bonfire of the Vanderbilts on Audible.com. In a full and frank exchange of views, she offers lessons learned working with me on Bonfire.
She even confesses how her role can be much like an experienced nanny dealing with a new mother (the proud parent of the book).
Episode 6 Permalink: http://getpublishedradio.libsyn.com/6-socks-life-and-audiotape-with-angel-voice-rebecca-roberts
We include a brief clip of her reading, as she becomes a proper Bostonian lady of the Gilded Age dishing dirt about the scandal behind a famous painting.
And in keeping with the theme of this episode, Gerald offers his book review ofMy Voice Will Go with You by psychiatrist Sidney Rosen – about how Dr. Milton Erickson's therapy – based on storytelling –could change a patient's lifetime behavior patterns.
Rebecca Roberts (www.rebeccarobertsvoice.com) has narrated over 120 audiobooks, as well as commercials and instructional media. According to her fans, her greatest attribute is how easy it is to hear what she has to say, and not how she's saying it. In developing her trademark sound over the years (and often falling into the trap of trying to emulate her favorites), she found her niche – "being real." She has a natural cadence, a smooth comfortable tone, and pace that is truly a delight to listen to. Anne McAneny, author of Raveled, said, "She's so good, you don't even hear her. All you hear are my words."

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.
I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself
what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself
what a wonderful world.
It's late, I know, but I couldn't help but think that it's already Inauguration Day ~ January 20th ~ a very special day that many have been waiting to celebrate, not just here, but around the world.
I've been watching the news (yesterday, now, I suppose) and have been amazed, overwhelmed at the crowds and stories that are pouring forth out of our Capital....and learned tonight that a dear friend's daughter will be there tomorrow as well - a "young girl" last I saw her, now an adult ready to live history. I smile.
And Andrew ~ half a world away ~ texted, yes, texted me a few days ago to double check on the ceremony in "Tanzanian time" as he is planning a trip to Moshi - the closest city where he can try to watch everything on a television. No doubt there will be other PC volunteers with him ~ when I called him on election night, they were gathered in Moshi around a canteen TV, cheering in youthful exuberance at one moment, frustrated at the next when the "network" would cut to some "insignificant" bike race! LOL! Fortunately, his village and Moshi are very close to the Kenyan border and television, when he can find it, is following President-elect Obama (only need to use the "elect part" until noon today!) very closely! I will be calling Drew at some point during the activities to see if they have succeeded in securing a TV connection and to get his feedback on the Tanzania/Kenya response to today.
Ok...and now on a lighter note (and no getting mad and huffy with me....) - this is all in good fun, 'k? Found these on the Huffington Post blog and thought they were worth sharing for the day! Enjoy....or not!
First, a game to try as you say "goodbye" to our "outgoing" jCommander - in - Chief
Goodbye, Mr. Bush!
Secondly, a FUN video look at what LEGOLAND can do with the inaguaration...yes, LEGOLAND:

A spokesman confirms that President Obama, his African-American professor friend arrested in his own Cambridge home, and the white arresting officer will have a beer together this week at the White House to mend hurt feelings on all sides. College of Communication Associate Dean Tobe Berkovitz, a political communications expert, says the "beer summit" invitation was a smart move on Obama's part.

Information for students
Clinical- and research-training opportunities are periodically available for psychology students at the graduate and postdoctoral levels. These include Practicum Placements, APA/CPA accredited Internships, and Postdoctoral Fellowships. Trainees who already hold postdoctoral funds of their own may also be hosted for research projects in relevant areas.
Post-doctoral Fellowship Available
Neuropsychological functioning of pedophilic men and sexual offenders
I am seeking applicants for a two-year, full-time Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. The Fellow will participate in neuropsychological and psychological assessment of persons with paraphilias, atypical sexual interests, or histories of sexual offending. The Fellow will participate in on-going projects and develop and conduct projects of the Fellow's own. Existing databases are available for retrospective data analyses, and opportunities are available for establishing new research protocols for implementation in the Kurt Freund Laboratory for phallometry. The Fellowship is ideal for those seeking research opportunities and experience in sexology, forensic psychology, assessment, or applied neuropsychology.
The CIHR-funded, 12-month stipend is $40,000 (Canadian;
The starting date is flexible, but preferred to be between January and May, 2012. All degree requirements must be completed before taking up the Fellowship. To apply, submit a coverletter describing your range of interests and career goals, a c.v., up to three reprints, and although letters of reference are not required, include the contact information for three professional references. Electronic submissions and inquiries may be sent to email@example.com.
The deadline for applications is 1 December 2011.
Clinical Internships
I supervise doctoral students in clinical psychology through the CAMH Internship Program (APA/CPA approved). All CAMH Interns take two half-time rotations, of which the Clinical Sexology Services rotation with me would be one. Interns conduct assessments, one-on-one psychotherapy, and group therapy with men presenting with illegal or clinically significant sexual behaviours or interests. These include individuals who believe they may be sexually compulsive, addicted, or unable to control their sexual urges; persons who have committed sexual offenses (e.g., sexual interference with a child, sexual assault, possession of child pornography); and couples dealing with such issues.
Psychotherapy cases are selected to match to the training needs and interests of the Intern. Interns receive exposure to additional cases through attendance at case conferences of the Gender Identity Clinic, the Sexual Behaviours Clinic, and the Kurt Freund Laboratory.
Ideal candidates have relevant, but not redundant, prior experience. CAMH interns take two full-year rotations (with additional, minor rotations possible), and the applicants who receive the highest rankings from the selection process are those who are well suited to more than one rotation. A list of all rotations is included in the CAMH Psychology Intern Brochure. Interns interested in the Clinical Sexology Services rotation may also be interested in rotations in the Gender Identity Clinic, the Adult Forensic Outpatient Service, the Work, Stress, and Health Program, or the Borderline Personality Disorder Clinic.
CAMH participates in the APPIC computerized Internship Matching Program. Together with the standard APPIC application materials, applicants to the CAMH Internship Program must also include the CAMH Psychology Intern Application. Once filled out, that document should be uploaded to the APPIC site as "supplementary material" to the standard application.
The APPIC deadline for applications is 15 November 2011.
Potential applicants with specific questions are welcome to contact me before the deadline at firstname.lastname@example.com. (Please include your c.v. in your email).
Clinical Practicum training
Not currently available. For other CAMH rotations, interested
students should consult the

everyone's back. even the distant mainland mountains were visible, snow-peaked and serious, from across the waters of a pristine and sunny afternoon. i have re-noticed the freshness of the mountain air here after spending some time in the metropolis. still, vancouver's exhale didn't seem as coarse as chicago or the waterbody-barren rockford.
on our various adventures, we've come to an understanding. this verbalization, called the watershed theory, is the moment where, like a raindrop hitting the peak of a shed, the drop will go one way or another for whatever reason and then be required by the flow of those behind and the legalities of time and gravity to continue. plinko. God.
two months are already over here. as i turned my back to the water and ocean earlier today and realized that last summer's australia lasted two months and at the end of the trip, i was definitely feeling the grain of time, even after a massively productive and exciting adventure and ministry. today, it doesn't feel like two months. it doesn't feel like time at all. on of the other video guys turned twenty-two today and i'm relatively young to the majority of these people, but it's good. good things are happening and God has a hold of things and everything's exciting right now.
tomorrow, we start another week of starwood dv and working one-on-one with kids and video. should be good.

When you take your boat out for a ride, it'd be wise for you to stay in mind your safety and your boat's safety. The primary issue you must check and maintain is that the hull by ensuring that it's very sealed while not cracks or any openings for water to enter. The second issue you must check is your Electric pumps.
Regardless of however well maintained your boat is, the possibilities of bilge aggregation in your boat are extremely high. Though there are not cracks on the hull, as long as it's get in the water, there'll continuously be water leaky within the boat. It'd be informed install bilge pumps on your boat to stay it afloat.
Most boat house owners would have a minimum of 2 pumps in their vessel. The foremost sensible sorts to possess square measure the automated or electrical pumps Sups. Automatic pumps can, obviously, mechanically begin once the liquid collected on the boat reaches a precise level. It'll suck out the water within the boat and expel it outside. Electrical pumps have constant operate though not all electrical pumps mechanically operate. Some electrical bilge pumps would solely begin or activate manually.
It would be informed have them put in your boat to confirm your safety. It's conjointly sensible to possess either the machine-controlled one or the electrical kind to be put in as a result of these does not need manual labor. This implies that you simply might handily relish riding your boat whereas the gizmo removes the bilge from your vessel.
It is conjointly sensible to possess a manual pump on board for emergency functions. It acts as a precaution just in case the batteries for machine-controlled pump or electrical pump Sups square measure drained or once these electrical machines would not operate. It's informed have a copy conceive to save your boat and conjointly your life.
Some individuals would counsel that you simply install 2 electrical or automatic bilge pumps put in on your boat. This way, once the first pump fails to operate, you continue to have another automatic or electrical pump to consider. If all else fails that is once you use the manual pump to alleviate the boat of the bilge.
I guess this means that if you own a ship, particularly a fashionable one; you must have a minimum of 3 pumps on board. One primary pump, a secondary pump and a copy manual pump.

A copycat website that "tricked" people into paying £500 to file their tax returns has been taken offline.
It is thought thousands of taxpayers gave money to Taxreturngateway.com in the run-up to the January 31 self-assessment deadline, with many convinced they were using an official government website.
In fact, they paid £500 for a process that is free through the HM Revenue & Customs website – hmrc.gov.uk.
The copycat website appeared prominently on Google when users searched for "tax return". It has since been removed.
Telegraph readers said they were "misled" into believing the site was a "genuine" government tax portal by its design.
Those who realised their error have been denied refunds by Taxreturngateway.com, even if they subsequently filed through official channels.
A statement on company's website today said: "Due to overwhelming customer demand for our service and the close proximity to the January 31st Self-Assessment deadline, we have taken the decision to suspend our Self-Assessment Tax Return Submission service to new clients at this time. This decision has been made to ensure that we deliver the highest level and quality of service to our existing clients."
However, the statement indicated that the website will return in the "near future". The company failed to respond to a request for comment. The company has also removed its telephone line and appears to be ignoring emails to email@example.com.
Both Trading Standards and HMRC said there was nothing they could do to prevent the site from operating, as it had not broken the law.
A spokesman for Trading Standards said: "In principle, a practice such as this is not illegal. Many businesses provide a service that consumers could carry out themselves relatively easily. We have looked at this particular trader's website site, and they do state that they are not connected to or affiliated with HMRC, DWP or any other official government body so there is very little that Trading Standards can do in this instance."
A spokesman for HMRC said: "Whilst people are entirely free to employ a tax return agent, HMRC does not sanction or in any way approve such sites, and we will take firm action against any websites that suggest otherwise. HMRC provides comprehensive help and guidance through our website and contact centres entirely free of charge."
The company behind Taxreturngateway.com is Who4, based near Sunderland. Who4 runs a string of copycat websites, where customers are charged £172 for passports that would normally cost £72.50 and £29 for Ehic cards, which are issued free by the NHS.
Efforts are being made at a government level to crack down on this type of website.
A Cabinet Office spokesman said: "We gave commissioned a cross-government group to evaluate the problem posed by misleading websites to our customers, and the best way to address the issue. As part of this, we are engaging with internet search engine providers to mitigate the risks posed.
Anyone who feels they have been misled by Taxreturngateway.com should contact Telegraph Money at email@example.com. Help is available through the Citizens Advice consumer helpline on 08454 04 05 06.

Our hobbyfriend Michael for whom Massimo made the set of Großjägersdorf sent photos
of the figures with details. I thought you might like them.
I put the figures as a set in the shop. But I think the hussars alone would be interesting as a single set for collectors too as they are useful for other battles. What do you think?
And BTW, talking about the SYW - there are new figures from Rüdiger which I will put in the shop later.
Prussian Generals
A Pandur and a hussar.
Maybe you recognize the one figure:-)
We are a group of Enthusiasts from all over the world, mostly Germany, who create historical battles in scale 1:72. As we do this since more than 10 years we thought it is time for our own blog. Being a historical enthusiast I wanted to fulfill my dream of producing my own figures in this scale too. So I started working with several sculptors to produce exotic figures in 1:72 which I fear nobody else would bring on the market.

U2 scans political landscape in 'Joshua Tree' tour
Irish rockers U2 kick off the first day of the U.S. leg of their ''Joshua Tree'' tour in Seattle. Rough cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT (NO REPORTER NARRATION) With evocative montages of the American west scrolling on screens behind them, Irish rockers U2 kicked off the first day of the U.S. leg of their "Joshua Tree" tour on Sunday (May 14) in Seattle, Washington, with a few jabs at the new political landscape. The tour was billed as a look back at the band's 1987 breakthrough album "The Joshua Tree" with its globe-spanning hits "With Or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". Bono largely steered clear of the overt references to President Donald Trump that had peppered his performances during the election campaign. But more guarded references to modern-day events kept breaking through. "Some of you think that the dream is dead. Maybe that dream is just telling you to wake up," Bono said during "Pride," as the words of Martin Luther King were projected behind him. The screen switched to images of models in front of a faded American flag and vast desert landscapes. Other scenes showed the destruction in Syria and a girl there appealing for help. Bono also acknowledged U.S. Mother's Day, dedicating the song "Ultraviolet" to "women who stood up or sat down for their rights, who insisted, resisted, persisted for their rights." U2 will play 33 shows to 1.7 million people during the "Joshua Tree" tour. The tour is also the top-selling concert in the U.S. this summer, according to ticket seller StubHub, with most shows already sold out.

A Christ-centered Fellowship
Adventure Zone 1 (Kindergarten and 1st graders) meets each Sunday during our
9:00 a.m. and 10:45 a.m. services
Jesus What a Savior
Week of May 19th
God's attentiveness-His providence-is truly deep and rich in meaning, not easily grasped for even the adukt mind, let alone a child's mind. Nevertheless, it is important that children begin to understand what it is and its implications at a basic level. For one thing, we can teach children that God does not regard His creation as some toy that He made a long time ago, but now finds boring. God is actively involved in every aspect of His creation and communicates with His creatures. He is attentive to the galaxies, as well as to the sleeping child.
In this lesson, we also emphasized God's attentiveness being shown as He interacts with those who trust in Him, as was demonstrated in the story of Elijah and the prophets of Baal. The prophets of Baal could not be heard by their false god. But when Elijah called out to the one true God, Yahweh, God heard and acted. He is an attentive God who watches over us, hears His people's prayers, intercedes and acts on our behalf, all in the context of His wise and sovereign rule. God's people are truly blessed to enjoy the special privilege of His constant care.
As you review this lesson with your child, pray…
Show your child a Bible. Ask if he or she can recall why the Bible is so special. (The Bible is God's Word---2 Peter 1:20-21; it tells the truth—Psalm 119:160 and John 17:17; and it answers the most important questions. What would be more important to read and know—a make-believe fun story, or God's true words? Why is it more important to read and know the Bible?
· Review today's memory verse from Isaiah 46:9b. Because God says that He alone is God, it means there are not other gods. Because this answer is from the Bible, it is the truth. What does it mean to be "God"? What kind of job is it? Is there anyone or anything more important than God? Is there anything better than God? Because God alone is God, how should we act toward Him?
God alone can make us truly happy.
Adventure Zone 1 will be studying through Jesus What a Savior! a Children Desiring God curriculum during The 2012-2013 school year

Dr. Bill Thomas is not a fan of nursing homes. In fact, he wants to abolish them.
Thomas is a nationally known geriatrician who believes older people are much better off living in small group homes rather than in nursing homes.
His approach is called the Green House model, and the first Green House homes in Colorado are set to open this fall in Loveland. There are currently about 160 developments across the country and many more now under construction.
Dr. Thomas says as baby boomers age, they're not going to tolerate the traditional nursing home model, which has them living in big institutions.
"If I could make one historical prediction, it's that the Baby Boomer generation is gonna look at living on a corridor, behind a curtain, and sharing a bathroom with a stranger and say…we're not going to do that," Thomas says.
The idea behind the Green House model is to have several homes clustered together in a development. Ten residents live in each home and residents have their own bedrooms and private bathrooms. They may help out with things like cooking, cleaning and gardening.
Instead of nursing homes, where strangers can walk into the front hallway, Green House homes have front doors and doorbells and preserve what Thomas calls "the sanctity of home."
And they're not supposed to feel remotely like medical facilities.
"We 'demedicalize' the environment. So there's no rumbling supply carts," Thomas says. "We create a place that sounds, smells, feels like home."
Each home has a team of workers who manage the house and prepare and eat meals with the residents.
While the whole idea sounds expensive, Thomas says the model costs the same as a nursing home. And he says a large percentage of the residents will be low-income, including those at the homes soon to open in Loveland, Colo.
Green House homes are run by both for-profit and non-profit companies. And while Thomas developed the idea, he doesn't own or manage the properties.
Thomas says he hopes that in the next few decades, big, institutional nursing homes built predominantly in the 1960s and 1970s will be a thing of the past. Except, he says, he'd like to preserve one as an example.
"I want to keep one of these buildings…as a museum someday so we can take children in there and say 'Once upon a time, grandmas and grandpas lived in a place like this.' And the kids'll be like 'What, are you kidding me?'" Thomas remarks.
Thomas, who lives in Ithaca, N.Y., is in Denver today on a 25-city national tour called the Second Wind Tour. The day's events include speakers and theater focused on aging.

Hello All,While shopping at my nearby thrift store I found a Red Roboquad with remote. I took him home, installed fresh batteries, and *nothing*. No movement or lights. It looks like I spent money for nothing. :(But now I'm curious about the Roboquad. Does anyone know why WowWee retired Roboquad and when? It's a pity. I guess I may post the Red Roboquad and remote to eBay for sale to collectors and people that may be looking for parts. I got all excited for nothing.

Thanks for coming along and having a little looksie!
Wow, nice sketches man! Im diggin her as a main character. Does she have any super powers like super-swing-katana-slice-action-speed? Its great to be able to follow this from the beginning!ReplyDelete
Hey Kevin - thanks! Hmmm... while super-swing-katana-slice-action-speed sounds PRETTY AWESOME, the main character in my story is a bit more pedestrian than that. She's an engineer.
She builds pretty cool stuff though - which kind of gets her into trouble...
Very nice bro - let's see some bikini shots next! NOT OF YOU.ReplyDelete
Awww, but I've been workin' outReplyDelete
Seriously fresh stuff going on here. Can't wait to see more.ReplyDelete
Thanks, Oscar! Much appreciated :)ReplyDelete

Cari Byers, of Green Tease, Jennifer Paquin of TORN Cutoure and Angel Gonzalez of Pantaleon worked with these young ladies to show them some of the techniques they use to create their clothing lines. Â It was inspiring to see these three give back to the community, and share their passion with these budding fashionistas. Here are the pics from the show. Enjoy!

Ivanka Trump's Made-in-China Scarves Recalled Over "Burn Risk"
Apparenlty consumers aren't so into flammable accessories.
What's another PR scandal for the Trump empire?
The latest headline involves eldest Trump daughter Ivanka, whose scarves have been recalled by Global Brands Group Accessories, a Trump licensee, for violating the federal flammability standard.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, roughly 20,000 scarves sold between October 2014 and January 2016 at retailers including Lord & Taylor, Amazon, TJ Maxx and Century 21 pose a "burn risk" to consumers. The scarves, which are 100 percent rayon, can now be returned for a full refund. Original retail price for the two styles involved — the Beach Wave and Brushstroke Oblong — falls between $12 and $68.
Of the many scandalous headlines baring the name "Trump," a generous handful have been related to both Donald and Ivanka's fashion lines. Specifically, the pair have been criticized because a majority of their products are manufactured outside of the U.S. Of the 838 products under Ivanka's line, none are made exclusively in America, according to Harvard professor Robert Lawrence. Most are imported, with 354 being produced in China.
Donald has openly admitted that his neckties are made in China. However, the Republican candidate used this fact to make the point that "it's very hard to have apparel made in this country," implying that his reforms — including a tariff as high as 35-45 percent on apparel coming from China and Mexico — would encourage more production on U.S. soil.
Speaking of Mexico, you may also recall Donald's drama with Macy's over his controversial comments regarding Mexican immigrants, another of the magnate/politician's retail offenses. In July, Macy's officially severed ties with Donald and phased out his merchandise from shelves. Ivanka's line, however, continues to be sold at the department store.
