GPA or Grade Point Average, is the one deciding factor that compares the quality of your work with your classmates and ranks you accordingly. The higher your GPA the better. But sometimes it is much harder to increase this simple number than it first seems. Thankfully, there are some simple steps you can take to boost your GPA. Pick the Brain has provided a few tips on this very topic, but I have found a few more that prove very useful.
John Wesley's original 7 tips include:
- Go to class – You would be surprised how often this is not followed. When you get to university you will learn that nothing is compulsory, and none of your lecturer's will care if you go to their courses or not, so it is extremely difficult to stay focused and motizated.
- Sit in the Front Row – Not my favourite place to sit in a class, but it will get you involved, and make it easier to learn more.
- Take Notes by Hand – I am a massive supporter of this idea. I don't think that you learn as easily just by following through printed notes. Actually writing the information down engages a different part of your brain, meaning that you are thinking about the concept and memorizing it at the same time.
- Do a weekly review – I have never tried this, but I suspect that it would work well. Most of the time you do this automatically however, whenever you are studying for an exam or preparing an assignment.
- Go to office hours – Again, I have never tried this, because I do not think that intruding on a lecturer in their time is of any benefit. If you have any questions, just ask them during your classes or directly afterwards.
- Find smart people to work with – Working through questions, and analysing key concepts can be a great way to fully understand the topic you are studying. It is for this reason that I encourage everyone to get a mentor. Someone older who can help you out, but have a smart fellow student in your same course can often be just as good.
- Avoid all-nighters – All-nighters are not the most pleasant experience, but most of you will do at least one of two in the next few years. Sometimes they are unavoidable, but I would try to eliminate them as much as possible.
My three additional thoughts on how to increase your GPA are of a different thought process, but are still highly valuable.
- Take easier courses – Make sure they are related to your major, but taking a few easy courses is a great way to boost your GPA. You just have to make certain that you will score extremely highly in all the assignments and exams. Remember, most courses are weighed the same, so a quick, simple course can be a great way to increase your GPA.
- Focus on the important assessment – It can be very irritating, but it is often the case that some of the least important assignments in terms of marks can be the hardest and take the most amount of time. Try to focus on the assignments and exams that will have the biggest impact on your overall grade.
- Remove distractions – Acquiring a high GPA can mean a lot of study. This is a very hard thing to do for many people, so you must help yourself out as much as possible. A good way to do this is to remove all distractions from your study area – TVs, computer games, mobile phones…
Having a high GPA can mean a lot when you are trying to get your first major job, or if you are trying for scholarships and academic awards. Often it is not easy to increase this number by a lot, but it is worth a try!
It's very difficult to keep yourself focused when studying for an online degree through an online education course. You can consult from encyclopedias and dictionaries i.e. german english dictionary or the online french english dictionary to take help in your studies. Always choose the best online courses offered by a reputable institution like the University of Maryland.

text: A few weeks ago folks expressed interest in my PHP/MySQL based web app for the Model S. I created it mostly because I was tired of Tesla's refusal to cache data and make it available when the car sleeps. Thus, you only need to wake the car from the iOS app when you need real time feedback (climate control, unlocking doors, etc). I released the source code on GitHub a couple days ago. More info below, but please have at least a basic idea of how to deal with MySQL dbs and have a basic understanding of some programming language before installing this on your webserver. I myself am an amateur programmer with zero formal training. The code is messy, yet functional. Cleaning it up has not been one of my priorities so I am releasing it as is. From github: This is a web accessable package written in PHP/MYSQL used to retrieve data and set parameters on a compatible Model S (remote access enabled). Features: - Track SOC data over time and monitor vampire losses (logger.php) - View offline range without having to wake the car - Set the desired charger % without having to wake the car - Calculates corresponding rated miles for given SOC % using real data! - View the car's last known location without having to wake the car - Track a supercharge or any other charge session - View streaming data in real-time The beauty is that all of these features output to the browser instead of having to launch a program on your desktop. Setup: - Configure an appropriate MYSQL db - logger.php will need to be executed by cron or task scheduler in 30 min increments Note: - Graphing features will require a PHP graphing library (i.e. PHPGraphLib) - I am an amateur programmer with ZERO formal training.

Real Madrid mean business and not just any old business but world-record business. The Spanish aristocrats have reportedly dispatched minions to
their vaults to begin counting out £100m, which Real will then wave in front of Chelsea in the hope that it will persuade the London club to relinquish Eden Hazard. If Chelsea refuse, Real will do an about-turn and march on Monaco, who are said to be open to the possibility of selling Bernardo Silva.
On the other hand, if Real do manage to get their claws on Hazard, then Chelsea will attempt to nab Silva, but the Portuguese may prefer to join Barcelona or Manchester United.
Whatever happens, Monaco are prepared to lose Silva and have already identified his replacement – Bordeaux's exotically named Brazilian schemer Malcom. The player mainly operates from the right flank but is said to be highly versatile so Monaco could play Malcom in the middle. And Malcom certainly has the X factor. All things considered, Chelsea should forget about Silva and just go straight for Bordeaux's 20-year-old trickster. Then hopefully Chelsea will get drawn against Exeter City in the FA Cup and Antonio Conte will have an opportunity to say: 'We're going to Devon, Malcom'. This is a signing that must happen.
One player who seems certain to join Chelsea from Monaco is Tiemoué Bakayoko despite an attempt by Arsène Wenger to persuade him to go to Arsenal instead. Wenger is hoping to have more luck convincing Sporting Lisbon's Rui Patricio to come to replace Petr Cech. One wonders what Wenger will say if Rui Patricio asks who will be managing Arsenal next season: will a simple answer be forthcoming or does Wenger tease,players he's trying to sign, too?
If anyone inquires as to Alexis Sánchez's whereabouts next season, the correct answer is Bayern Munich, reportedly.
Manchester United have let Neymar know that if he fancies a chance from Barcelona, he can move to Old Trafford and collect an annual salary of around £10m. What if Barcelona refuse to sell? No bother, United will trigger the player's release clause, which is about £173m. So much for your world record, Real.
The former United manager Louis Van Gaal, meanwhile, may be cajoled into returning to management to rescue Holland from further humiliation. Others, however, have suggested that Dutch football is in such dire straits that the country needs a radical jolt that only a foreign manager could provide. The Mill suggests a compromise: Schteve McClaren.
Jürgen Klopp's aversion to Mamadou Sakho does not appear to be widely shared, as several clubs are already plotting to offer to buy him from Liverpool, notably Southampton and Crystal Palace.
Everton have cast their net far and wide in the search for a potential replacement for Romelu Lukaku and have come up with the name of Cyle Larin, a 21-year-old Canadian currently working magic for Orlando City.
Finally, all those folks hoping that Sevilla's much admired director of football, Monchi, could be enticed to their club are set to be disappointed – unless their club is Roma.

Reading, Writing, Playing
Every Child Ready to Read advises me to include all of the above in Story Time. I agree, completely! Here's my most recent attempt to talk, sing, read, write and play my way through Story Time. This time with David Shannon's famous, possibly infamous, certainly biographical, truly endearing character, David, from his children's book No, David . We love this kid. We all know this kid. Reading this book in story time always brings out confessions! Kids are loud and proud, parents blush. It's great! Emotional responses from all ages. How perfect!
After bringing David to life in 4 programs this week - I'm pretty cool with David. We're best buds. I totally get him! Of course I totally get his mom too. Hey, there are consequences for your actions David. She's not saying "NO" for the heck of it. She has her reasons. We explored these in an earlier post Oh! David it's Flannel Friday.
Here's the book::
Now, let's talk: What is happening on this cover? Tell me, what David's doing? uh, huh...right...and then....yes, I think you got it. So what does his mother say? You are 100% , up high here, kiddo! That's probably how he got the title, don't you think? And check out the author's name. David! Whoa...do you think he could be .....yes, again.! You are smart! I bet this is about when he was little. That's pretty cool. What would be the title of a book about when you were really little? Do you like to write? Do you like to draw? David Shannon does both! This is the background information. It is a grand key to comprehension.
Let's sing: you can do this one...(I can do this one) Take a look inside the cover at David's mom's body. Her head is not in the illustration. Does that body look happy? Sad? Upset? Bingo! Upset! So, stand up, get your hands on your hips...maybe you can find your pointer finger and let's sing out the word "no" to the tune of the alphabet song: "NO, no No no no no NO....." Show some attitude!
Let's read: now that you've practiced your "NO" - I think you're ready for the book. I will need your help with this story. I'll turn the pages and we'll all check out the illustration and then, please tell me what's happening. After we figure it all out...we'll do the reading part together. I'll point to the words and help. But let's see what the illustrations tells us first.
Let's write: you guys were great with the book. Now let's move to the craft table...we need to make ourselves a David to take home. Should we make a Naughty David? A Good David? How do we do that.? I'll bring the book to the table so we can see what the author/illustrator did. Remember the page where his mom called him Davy? I love David's face in that picture. Moms and Dads can make a David too. Or you can make David's mom or dad.
This is what I provided at the craft table with crayons, markers
scissors, paint stirrers, and painter's tape
Check it out, my David has dirt on his face!
Everyone wrote their name on their paint-stirrer-stick
And then we had pipe cleaners for writing NO
Tracing and creating N and O NO
Let's play: We're playing with our puppets! Without using words - will you show me how your puppet says yes? and how does your puppet say no? David are you allowed to run down the street naked? David are you allowed to shove all your food in your mouth? (I think you get the picture) Let the kids come up with some questions too.
Let's play some more: on the flannel board...with a flannel David (directions to follow) we can show David's feelings, his emotions. I gave each child a flannel bandaid to bring up to the flannel board to describe something that happened to David and why he needed a bandaid. And with this new fancy-movable-facial-features...the kids can also show me how David feels.
Here's my process for making David: Trace a circle on paper and draw in David's face,cut it out
Tape it to black felt, stiffened felt is best, and cut out the background following the outline. It should look like this when you are done.
Now tape the same pattern to the skin color felt and cut inside the outline. Cut off the ears and hair in this skin color felt.
Cut the ears, cut away the outline..just like you did with David's head.
Place things where they belong
I cut out the features and use them as the pattern. So I placed the original back over David - this photos is now called Silence of the David!
David had his skin brightened with these markers.
I glued David's face to the black backing. I glued the ears too. I glued his teeth into his mouth.
His eyes, brows, nose and mouth are all movable
Real men have emotions!
That's it folks. My interactive flannel David! Now, you can make him too.
We also sang the Ants go Marching in this program because of course David would like a song where ants go marching into the ground! And we read Press Here by Herve Tullet. Each child had his own copy to press. I'm certain David likes Press Here.
Look! Here's David!! Yikes :)
Click here to learn about him and all of his fabulous books. Go on, click!
Thanks for visiting Piper Loves the Library. We love comments!

Nginx and Perl-FastCGI on Debian 5 (Lenny)
Updated by Linode Written by Linode
DeprecatedThis guide has been deprecated and is no longer being maintained.
The nginx web server is a fast, lightweight server designed to efficiently handle the needs of both low and high traffic websites. Although commonly used to serve static content, it's quite capable of handling dynamic pages as well. This guide will help you get nginx up and running with Perl and FastCGI.
It is assumed that you've already followed the steps outlined in our getting started guide. These steps should be performed via a root login to your Linode over SSH.
Set the Hostname
Before you begin installing and configuring the components described in this guide, please make sure you've followed our instructions for setting your hostname. Issue the following commands to make sure it is set properly:
hostname -f
The first command should show your short hostname, and the second should show your fully qualified domain name (FQDN).
Install Required Packages
Issue the following commands to update your system and install the nginx web server and compiler tools (Perl should already be installed):
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install nginx build-essential psmisc wget libfcgi-perl
/etc/init.d/nginx start
Configure Virtual Hosting
In this guide, the domain "example.com" is used as an example site. You should substitute your own domain name in the configuration steps that follow. First, create directories to hold content and log files:
mkdir -p /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html
mkdir /srv/www/www.example.com/logs
chown -R www-data:www-data /srv/www/www.example.com
Next, you'll need to define the site's virtual host file:
- /etc/nginx/sites-available/www.example.com
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19
server { listen 80; server_name www.example.com example.com; access_log /srv/www/www.example.com/logs/access.log; error_log /srv/www/www.example.com/logs/error.log; location / { root /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html; index index.html index.htm; } location ~ \.pl$ { gzip off; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:8999; fastcgi_index index.pl; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html$fastcgi_script_name; } }
Issue the following commands to enable the site:
cd /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/www.example.com
/etc/init.d/nginx restart
You may wish to create a test HTML page under
/srv/www/www.example.com/public_html/ and view it in your browser to verify that nginx is properly serving your site (Perl will not work yet). Please note that this will require an entry in DNS pointing your domain name to your Linode's IP address (found on the "Remote Access" tab in the Linode Manager).
Configure FastCGI Wrapper
Issue the following command sequence to download the FastCGI wrapper script (credit: Denis S. Filimonov) and an init script to control the FastCGI process, set the permissions, launch the wrapper for the first time, and ensure that FastCGI launches at startup:
cd /opt/
wget -O fastcgi-wrapper http://www.linode.com/docs/assets/671-fastcgi-wrapper.sh
wget -O init-deb.sh http://www.linode.com/docs/assets/670-init-deb.sh
mv /opt/fastcgi-wrapper /usr/bin/fastcgi-wrapper.pl
mv /opt/init-deb.sh /etc/init.d/perl-fastcgi
chmod +x /usr/bin/fastcgi-wrapper.pl
chmod +x /etc/init.d/perl-fastcgi
update-rc.d perl-fastcgi defaults
/etc/init.d/perl-fastcgi start
Test Perl with FastCGI
Create a file called "test.pl" in your site's "public_html" directory with the following contents:
- /srv/www/www.example.com/public\\_html/test.pl
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
#!/usr/bin/perl print "Content-type:text/html\n\n"; print <<EndOfHTML; <title>Perl Environment Variables</title>
Perl Environment Variables
 EndOfHTML foreach $key (sort(keys %ENV)) { print "$key = $ENV{$key}
\n"; } print "";
Make the script executable by issuing the following command:
chmod a+x /srv/www/www.example.com/public_html/test.pl
When you visit
http://www.example.com/test.pl in your browser, your Perl environment variables should be shown. Congratulations, you've configured the nginx web server to use Perl with FastCGI for dynamic content!

Electric cars 'mean design innovation'
* Nissan and Infiniti design boss * electric cars will look more interesting * Will be affordable, too...
Electric cars will give designers the freedom to come up with more innovative-looking vehicles, says Shiro Nakamura, the chief creative officer of Nissan and Infiniti.
Concept cars such as Nissan's Pivo, and the Twizy from Alliance partner Renault, give clues to the sort of things we could see in years to come, according to Mr Nakamura.
The Pivo is a bubble-like car capable of being driven forwards, backwards or sideways, while the Twizy is a four-wheeled covered scooter, or quadricycle.
'Realistic approach'
Twizy is scheduled for production in 2012, and will be largely unchanged from the concept car, but there is less chance of people ever being able to buy a Pivo as things stand.
'Technically it is feasible,' says Nakamura. 'The difficulty is cost. Would people be willing to pay $1million (650,000) for it? We want our electric vehicles to be as reasonable and affordable as possible, therefore we take a realistic approach.'
Eight EVs planned
The alliance plans to introduce eight electric vehicles within the next three or four years, the first of which the Nissan Leaf will be on sale later this year for just over 28,000 before Government grants.
In design terms it is not much different from petrol or diesel mid-sized hatchbacks already on sale, but Nakamura says that future electric cars are likely to be more avant-garde.
'Today we are utilising existing platforms, but we are gradually developing unique electric-vehicle platforms that will give us much more freedom with our second- or third-generation cars,' he says. 'We have much more interesting ideas coming.'
One of the four electric vehicles to come from the Nissan side of the Alliance will be an Infiniti, but Nakamura is warning people not to expect anything too radical. 'The first-generation Infiniti electric vehicle will not necessarily be too different (from the cars we are used to),' he says. 'But the emotional expression has to be Infiniti.'

By Andrew Snaith
Whitby's improvement continued as Northern Counties East Premier Pickering were swept aside, on Tuesday night, in the Seasiders' second-last pre-season outing.
"I think we were worthy of the win." said boss Chris Hardy.
"We got ourselves to where we needed to be in terms of performance, though we, possibly, gave too much of an advantage to them in the second half."
Hardy made two changes from the side that drew 2-2 with Bishop Auckland, at the Turnbull Ground, on Saturday. Curtis Round returned from holiday to start in midfield, while striker Matty Tymon was also thrown in from kick-off, as Mikey Roberts was rested and Dale Hopson was unavailable.
"In the first half, we maybe should've been out of sight," Hardy told the Whitby Town Football Club Facebook Group live, after the game.
Certainly the Seasiders dominated in the last outing for their old white away strip. On 13 minutes, Callum Martin's right-wing cross brought a strong header from Tymon but an even better save from home keeper Peter Lawrie. However, the resulting corner found its way into the net. Kieran Weledji, who netted in similar fashion at the weekend and was wearing the captain's armband, was left free to head the left-wing ball past a helpless Lawrie.
Around the half hour, came a great opportunity to double the Evo-Stik Premier club's lead. This time it was ex-Marske United midfielder Cameron Park who was unmarked, but the ball arrived at an uncomfortable height and his forced header went wide of Lawrie's right-hand post from inside the penalty area.
Last season's top goalscorer Roberts replaced the skilful Round, at half-time, as Hardy tried two up front, having started with just Steven Snaith behind Tymon as an attacking midfielder/playmaker.
Regarding the forward positions, Hardy revealed:
"We're getting close to a decision, it just needs a little bit of discussion."
Ex-Whitby striker Sam Calvert came on for Pickering at the interval and looked dangerous with his direct running down the left, but the visitors started where they left off in the first period with plenty of possession and chances created.
Just before the hour, Martin cut in off the right and unleashed a powerful 25-yard effort that was turned away spectacularly, albeit at a good height, for a leaping Lawrie.
Tymon then brought a more impressive tip over from the busy gloveman after hammering a piledriver toward the roof of the net, from 20 yards.
Ryan Blott, another to previously wear the blue and white of Whitby, in-between spells with Scarborough, was leading the line for the hosts and brought an amazing point-blank block from Shane Bland with a strong header, following some lovely build-up play.
Hardy introduced young marksman Jordan Jewson for Park as he experimented with a third striker and within 11 minutes, Whitby had a second goal. It was neither of the attacking trio, however, but one of his celebrated wing-backs on target. Dan McWilliams netted his first-ever Whitby goal after Roberts went down on the edge of the box and the left-sided number 3 drilled a deflected free-kick through the wall and between Lawrie and his left-hand post.
Regarding Williams and Martin, on the right, Hardy declared:
"These boys are dynamic boys- they're up and down, they're athletes.
"They're going to contribute on the defensive side and the attacking side."
Speaking of the attacking side, Hardy added:
"I was impressed with Snaith.
"I think his maturity, his application was first class and I thought Matty Tymon was very impressive, this evening.
"He seemed to have the bit between his teeth and he showed quality and endeavour.
"They weren't the only ones- there were a few good performances and positive results and positive performances create momentum."
It was also pleasing, following his recent injury, to see Hardy's assistant and experienced centre-half option Lee Bullock getting the last five minutes, in place of Tymon, as an unlikely frontman.
Pickering Town: Lawrie, Tilsley (c) (Ingram 80), Danby (Richardson 80), Taylor, Turnbull, Bissett (Kamara 46), Dhesi (Hirst 66), Cooper (Lingard 70), Blott, Thompson (Bennett 73), Robinson (Calvert 46). Sub not used: Wells (GK).
Whitby Town: Bland, Martin, McWilliams, Weledji (c), Robinson, May, Gell, Park (Jewson 70), Round (Roberts 46), Snaith, Tymon (Bullock 85). Subs not used: Organ-Simpson, Dixon (GK), Dawson (GK).

5 things you will understand if you're part of a big family
9 comments:
This is something I do understand! I have eight siblings, two girls and five boys, and mommy is is pregnant with the other one, so we do not know whether it's a girl or a boy!ReplyDelete
Oh, this is so true!!ReplyDelete
It's very rarely quiet in a big family, right? The piano (I'm a culprit of that sometimes, myself, but you know what I mean…) and all...
The illness thing. YES. When one of us gets sick, at least, if it's a stomach thing, we go into full-blown quarantine. It's often pretty ineffectual, but we try anyway. Ugh. Definitely the worst part.
Indecision. The trademark of our family;)
wow! this sounds very familiar!!ReplyDelete
the pictures are really sweet!!
These were pretty relatable! I have five siblings, so six isn't that big compared to your family, but it's bigger than the average family, I think :). Then again, we know a couple of families with 8 or 9, one with 12 and one with about 14, so we're not so big!ReplyDelete
I have SO often thought how I would dislike being an only child! Siblings are fun! (Especially if there are a few older ones and you can have singing sessions and do parts!
This describes my family exactly!! Haha:-) and the thing about portion sizes is true for all-girl families too as I have three sisters and then we had two little brothers....talk about noise! Mums and dads are awesome though aren't they!:-)ReplyDelete
Sounds like you have a wonderful family. Speaking from a mom's experience, if you will put your toothbrushes in the dishwasher when these illnesses start popping up, it does help a bit. I don't know why this makes such a difference, but it has in our family. My sister in law told me about that years ago, and it has been helpful.ReplyDelete
We've been having a cold epidemic here too. Someone caught one between Christmas and New Year's, and at least one person has been sick ever since. And I only have 3 kids! Sigh. So yes, I'll definitely keep your family in my prayers :-) Especially your mom! I know well how draining it is to be sick while pregnant.ReplyDelete
I understand all of these!ReplyDelete
Why does this all sounds so familiar? Oh yeah.ReplyDelete
Completely relate with everything. Especially with the sickness issues. My family is finally completely healthy for the first time this year. The winter colds hit us very hard. I was lucky, I only got sick once.
Noise. Totally. Yup. Uhuh. All the time. One of the reasons why I listen to so much music.
I must say though, I do know what it is like to be lonely, but only in a room full of people. I like to be alone, but not lonely. Introvert problems, right there. That's probably why God put me in a big family. It's a good thing.
Your post had me laughing internally the entire time I read it!
Spam comments are lame. I got SO many of them I had to disable Anonymous comments. (Sorry nice Anonymites)
Anyway. Other comments = I LOVE YOU. :-)

The stone floor eased his aching bones as he sat pondering on what his next move should be. You see Dustin
was thrown out after keaving school by his ever loving parents. Two weeks down the road he was still there,
down on his luck, as ever. "How could this possibly get worse" he muttered under his breath. As if the sky
had heard him its silver linig toar, soaking him instantly. Reminding him of the well missed power shower.
At least it was refreshing, he thought while trudging down the litter strewn streets of Manchester, finally
taking shelter underneath an old bridge. Trying to shake off the chill he lay down. What had he got himself
into. Why? he rolled over. The ground was lumpy as youd expect but its was dry unlike his old jacket saturated
from the rain it comforted him. He soon fell into a deep slumber only to be rudely awoken.
"what was that!" a blood curdeling scream echoed in his ears.
"Get away from me!" it sounded like a women, a women in trouble. He shot to his feet darting toward the source
of comotion. Adrenaln pumping he took a sharp left tripping himself. "stupid laces" quickly dusting him self
down he set off again cursing. The screams stopped, he took another left there she was lay upright against the
dumpster. "Oh ..." he knelt next to her lifless body, observing the slit throat he felt nautious. This poor lady
didnt have a chance slaughtered. "What kind of sick person could do this."
After informing the police of this unfortunate women he finally mangaged to get his head down, plagued by dreams
of death and mortality he tossed and turned. He couldnt help but think if hed got there sooner shed still be alive.
After what seemed like hours of torture he awoke in a cold sweat, starring straigt into the deppest of blue eyes
"What beautiful eyes youve got there," she said nothing, and didnt seem to notice he had woke. "Hello?" trying to
grab her attion he reached forward. She ran away. "What a cute cat." Days after the event Dustin forgot all about
cat with its deep blue eyes and broght white fur. He forgot about how it sat there waiting for him to wake. When
he stopped, there she was again, sat there, staring. Her eyes watched his every move scanning him, reading him like
book. "Here puss-puss" he held out a hand to stroke the cat, she didnt move, but waited for him to come closser.
Beckoning him with her mysterious ways. Finally reaching to the outstreched hand. A sharp shock run its way up his
arm, she seemed to smile at him

BOSTON, Sunday, Nov. 3.
A heavy north-east gale commenced at 9 o'clock last night, lasting ten hours. A great quantity of rain fell. The noon tide, to-day, overflowed several of the wharves, doing considerable damage to goods, &c., stowed in the cellars. So high a tide has not been known for several years. We learn of the following wrecks:
The bark N. Coggswell, of Providence, HAMBLIN, from Malaga, for Boston, struck on Scituate Beach, and will be a total loss. The crew were saved.
The ship Maritana, WILLIAMS, of Providence, from Liverpool, for Boston, with a cargo of coal, wool and cotton, struck at midnight on Egg Rocks, near Boston Light, the sea making a clean breach over her. At 3 A.M. cut away the masts and mizzen-masts, and stove one boat. Launched the other boat, but she stove alongside. Five of the crew then succeeded in getting on the rocks. At 8 A.M. the ship went to pieces, and seven of the passengers and crew reached the rocks on a piece of the poop. The following persons were drowned:
Capt. Williams, Mr. Carner, mate; John McGinnis, John Ellis, Henry Green, Wm. Jackson, Winfield West, David McLaune, Augustus Chiveric, seamen; Ed. Barrett, cook; Mrs. Pratt and two daughters, Mr. Clark and wife, Mary Flanagan, Maria Bryan, Lucy Pratt, Elizabeth Bryan, Eliza Bosier, D. Hunter, Patrick Reagan, passengers; a Swedish passenger, and three unknown.
At noon to-day the weather cleared up, and the twelve seamen were discovered clinging to Egg Rocks. The life-boat was launched at Hull, and they were taken off. Not a vestige of the ship remained. Several of the bodies, including that of Capt. WILLIAMS, have been recovered and brought to this city.
Passengers by the City of Boston, of the Norwich line, which left New-York Saturday evening, arrived here at 12:30 to-day, and those by the Empire State at 4:30.
The night train, both by Springfield and the Shore line, arrived about noon, being detained near Bridgeport by damage to the track.Continue reading the main story

1) The Harvard case, ÃÂBotswana: A Diamond in the RoughÃÂ, describes the exceptional case of BotswanaÃÂs sustained economic rise from near absolute poverty to a country with a 10% average annual GDP growth for more than four decades. This case shows that healthy economic gains can be achieved by a mixture of formal institutions and ad hoc substitutes for missing institutions.
When Botswana gained its independence in 1966, the country lacked many of the institutions deemed essential for economic growth by most prosperous developed nations. These absent institutions included a central bank, a national currency, basic administrative structures, market institutions, and the ability to connect to the global markets and apply external tariffs. Yet, Botswana was unique among its neighbors in that it held institutions such as a stable, democratic government supported by a charismatic leader and a constitution which upheld the liberties of a free press, legal transparency, and property rights.
BotswanaÃÂs institute of government also lacked the discriminatory practices and internal strife present in many of the neighboring countries.
Botswana was able to supplement its lack of many formal institutions with substitute ad hoc solutions which filled many gaps. The countryÃÂs initial lack of its own central bank and national currency was supplemented with the countryÃÂs use of the South African Monetary Union until Botswana was able to establish its own currency and central bank in 1976. Similarly, Botswana relied on the South African Customs Union (SACU) for application of import tariffs used to raise tax revenue and protect infant domestic industries.
Gaps left in the countryÃÂs infrastructure by weak public funding and an underdeveloped private sector were patched with help from financing and administration given by multinational firms, development institutions, as well as the creation of some of its own formal institutions. The most prominent of these...

How is Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease treated?
Life-style changes
One of the simplest treatments for Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease is referred to as life-style changes, a combination of several changes in habit, particularly related to eating.
As discussed above, reflux of acid is more injurious at night than during the day. At night, when individuals are lying down, it is easier for reflux to occur. The reason that it is easier is because gravity is not opposing the reflux, as it does in the upright position during the day. In addition, the lack of an effect of gravity allows the refluxed liquid to travel further up the esophagus and remain in the esophagus longer. These problems can be overcome partially by elevating the upper body in bed. The elevation is accomplished either by putting blocks under the bed's feet at the head of the bed or, more conveniently, by sleeping with the upper body on a wedge. These maneuvers raise the esophagus above the stomach and partially restore the effects of gravity. It is important that the upper body and not just the head be elevated. Elevating only the head does not raise the esophagus and fails to restore the effects of gravity.
Elevation of the upper body at night generally is recommended for all patients with Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease. Nevertheless, most patients with GERD have reflux only during the day and elevation at night is of little benefit for them. It is not possible to know for certain which patients will benefit from elevation at night unless acid testing clearly demonstrates night reflux. However, patients who have heartburn, regurgitation, or other symptoms of GERD at night are probably experiencing reflux at night and definitely should use upper body elevation. Reflux also occurs less frequently when patients lie on their left rather than their right sides.
Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease Diet
Several changes in eating habits can be beneficial in treating GERD. Reflux is worse following meals. This probably is so because the stomach is distended with food at that time and transient relaxations of the lower esophageal sphincter are more frequent. Therefore, smaller and earlier evening meals may reduce the amount of reflux for two reasons. First, the smaller meal results in lesser distention of the stomach. Second, by bedtime, a smaller and earlier meal is more likely to have emptied from the stomach than is a larger one. As a result, reflux is less likely to occur when patients with Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease lie down.
Certain foods are known to reduce the pressure in the lower esophageal sphincter and thereby promote reflux. These foods should be avoided and include:
* chocolate,
* peppermint,
* alcohol, and
* caffeinated drinks.
Fatty foods (which should be decreased) and smoking (which should be stopped) also reduce the pressure in the sphincter and promote reflux.
In addition, patients with Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease may find that other foods aggravate their symptoms. Examples are spicy or acid-containing foods, like citrus juices, carbonated beverages, and tomato juice. These foods should also be avoided.
One novel approach to the treatment of Gastroesophageal / Acid Reflux Disease is chewing gum. Chewing gum stimulates the production of more bicarbonate-containing saliva and increases the rate of swallowing. After the saliva is swallowed, it neutralizes acid in the esophagus. In effect, chewing gum exaggerates one of the normal processes that neutralizes acid in the esophagus. It is not clear, however, how effective chewing gum actually is in treating heartburn. Nevertheless, chewing gum after meals is certainly worth a try.

Kamila Shamsie, a writer for Refugee Tales, says –
"We hear so many of the wrong words about refugees – ugly, limiting, unimaginative words – that it feels like a gift to find here so many of the right words which allow us to better understand the lives around us, and our own lives too."
Scots Makar, Jackie Kay, recommended it in the Scottish Review of Books. It was her 'Pick of the Year'!
Shami Chakrabarti wrote:
'Refugee Tales is a wonderful way of re-humanising some of the most vulnerable and demonised people on the planet. This collection is both challenging and poignant. Readers will surely be moved to move their leaders to action.'
Refugee Tales, 2016 and Refugee Tales II, 2017 are published by Comma Press … or ask in your local good bookshop
In Refugee Tales, poets and novelists retell the stories of individuals who have directly experienced Britain's policy of indefinite immigration detention. Presenting their experiences anonymously, as modern day counterparts to the pilgrim's stories in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, the books offers rare, intimate glimpses into otherwise untold suffering.

Marvel's Mutant Split Parallels the Post-Holocaust Theological Divide Between Kahane and GreenbergBy AMI EDEN
In the long-running comic book series "The Uncanny X-Men," a string of genetic mutations gives birth to a sub-species of humans endowed with super powers. The mutants strike fear in political and military leaders, who worry that this new breed will supplant its genetic predecessors.
This alternate reality forms the basis for two movies, "X-Men" and its current sequel "X2: X-Men United," both smash hits at the box office. But some comics offer more than just clashes between make-believe heroes and villains; they can present us with a paradigm for real-life conflicts plaguing humanity.
A stretch? Bear with me.
Just as "Superman" has been deconstructed for decades as a rendering of the golem myth, the X-Men films can be interpreted as a metaphoric battleground for two radical theological responses to the Holocaust — one belonging to Rabbi Irving "Yitz" Greenberg, the other to the late Rabbi Meir Kahane.
The mutants are split into two camps. The good-guy mutants, known as the X-Men, are led by the wheelchair-bound Charles Xavier, aka Professor X (played by Patrick Stewart), the founder of a school for mutants and a powerful psychic with an ideological — and physical — resemblance to Greenberg. While the professor remains dedicated to coexistence between mutants and non-mutants, his nemesis and lifelong friend Erik Magnus Lehnsherr, aka Magneto (Ian McKellen), is convinced that a war between the two groups is inevitable. He leads the Brotherhood, a band of renegade mutants who share his fatalistic — i.e. Kahanist — views.
In the first film, a Joseph McCarthy-like senator attempts to pass a bill requiring the registration of all mutants. For Professor X, this is cause for redoubled efforts to improve relations and understanding between mutants and non-mutants. Magneto, as a Jewish Holocaust survivor who lost his family in the camps, sees things differently. He is certain about where all bigotry and hatred lead: to Auschwitz — and, in his science-fiction world, "Never Again" means launching a pre-emptive war before the humans have a chance to kill off the mutants.
Both films are packed with a barrage of special effects and elaborate plot twists. But, thanks to a string of creative decisions by director Bryan Singer, the movies never stray far from the fundamental moral question dividing the two mutant leaders: Does their power obligate them to seek peace with the rest of humanity or entitle them to wage war at the first sign of human hatred?
Like Professor X and Magneto, Greenberg and Kahane are progenitors of dueling ideologies that emerged in the shadow of World War II. For each of these Orthodox rabbis, the Holocaust demanded a reassessment of the relationship between Jews and the non-Jewish world.
Before he was gunned down in New York by an Arab assassin in 1990, Kahane coined the phrase "Never Again," founded the militant Jewish Defense League and argued for the forced transfer of Arabs from Israel and the territories. Ordained at the ultra-Orthodox Mir Yeshiva in Brooklyn, Kahane also earned graduate degrees from New York Law School and New York University. In 1971, he immigrated to Israel, where he founded the Kach Party and, in 1984, was elected to the Knesset. With polls showing Kach poised to make big gains four years later, the Knesset banned the party on the grounds that it espoused a racist ideology.
Kahane insisted that Jews could only achieve national salvation through an increased faith in God, demonstrated by a willingness to strike hard at their enemies and isolate themselves from the non-Jewish world. Kahane sanctioned Jewish violence against Arabs, in a theological challenge to the commonly read view of the Torah, which repeatedly commands the Israelites not to oppress the stranger, because they themselves were strangers in Egypt.
Greenberg, who received rabbinic ordination from Yeshiva University and a doctorate in history from Harvard University, formulated his own revolutionary, some say equally blasphemous, post-Holocaust theology. Greenberg argued that God's failure to stop the Holocaust represented an abrogation of the divine covenant with the Jewish people. As a result, according to Greenberg, Jews can no longer rely on God to intervene; they must assume full responsibility for their own protection and for perfecting the world. And when the use of force is required, Greenberg argued, Jews must operate according to a moral standard that takes into account the suffering of non-Jews.
What has emerged in the past generation is a polarity between two philosophies, embodied by the two rabbis: one who insisted that living in the Holocaust's shadow obligated the Jewish people to apply a heightened moral calculus when exercising Israeli military force, and another who argued that the annihilation of European Jewry justified the unbridled use of this newfound power. Tension between the Greenberg and Kahane worldviews has lurked beneath the surface of debates over American Jewish life and Arab-Israeli relations for a generation.
Until recently, the choice seemed for many as morally clear as the message at the ending of the first "X-Men" movie. In the final scene, Magneto, whose special power is the ability to manipulate metal and magnetic fields, has been imprisoned by the government in a plastic jail cell, where he plays chess with Professor X, who has come to visit.
During the match, Magneto asks, "Doesn't it ever wake you in the middle of the night, the feeling that some day they will pass that foolish law, or one just like it, and come for you and your children?"
"It does, indeed," the professor concedes.
"What do you do when you wake up to that?"
"I feel a great swell of pity for the poor soul who comes to that school looking for trouble."
In response, Magneto mocks the professor's "continuing search for hope," and warns: "The war is still coming... and I intend to fight it — by any means necessary."
Without a moment of hesitation, the professor responds with the movie's final line: "And I will always be there — old friend."
Magneto is behind bars, with his message seemingly discredited — a triumph, as it were, of Greenberg over Kahane.
But in "X2," this certainty is shattered. The senator is replaced by a maniacal military scientist who comes within seconds of executing a plan to kill all of the mutants. Magneto's fears have been validated.
The sequel ends with Professor X extending an olive branch to the president of the United States, but packaged with a subtle warning. "The next move is yours," the professor says, to which his most menacing disciple, Wolverine, quickly adds: "We'll be watching." Magneto is absent from the second film's final scenes; the X-Men are now more fearful of the threat posed by humanity than that of mutant adversaries. The shift eerily mirrors real-world developments.
Since the release of the first "X-Men" film, the intifada erupted, the World Trade Center was destroyed and the world has descended into an ever-increasing state of violence and uncertainty. Suddenly, Kahane's fundamental assumptions about — if not his solutions for — a world at war and a clash of civilizations seem ch harder to dismiss out of hand.
But even now, when Kahane has never seemed more prescient, it is not clear that any path other than Greenberg's can produce a better lot for all humanity.
In his 1988 essay "The Ethics of Jewish Power," Greenberg invoked a talmudic dictum to argue that "lashing out with full force in frustration at all who stand in our way in the hope of knocking them out with one big blow" will only make things worse for the Jewish people in the long run.
"The difference between failure — or suicide — and true resolution often lies in finding the patience to start or persist in policies with no immediate end in sight," Greenberg wrote. He added, "Patience combined with urgency, persistence combined with openness to the other will ultimately get us there."
Or, as Professor X says to Magneto, referring to humans: "Don't give up on them."

This Elite Gold Profits review dissects a scam that is very popular these days. The Elite Gold Profits scam is just like any of the other binary trading robot scams out there and is just one of the websites that try to take advantage of people who are new to binary options.
The scams come in all types – some are polished and look really legitimate, while others are easy to discern as fakes. Elite Gold Profits scam is one of them. It poses as an autotrading robot that can reportedly make you thousands of dollars a day. However, this review exposes how it is merely a sham that is not any forex robot but only a medium to deceive innocent people out of their hard earned money. Read on to find out why.
Based on Readers Feedback's posted in Comments all over our site – many are saying that Ultimate4Trading and EZTrader are a SCAM. Our review of that product was based on only a 1-week trial. We apologize for any inconvenience.
If you are looking for a trusted trading robot system then check out Snapcash (click the banner below). Several traders on our staff have used Snapcash and have had great results with it so far, with 84% WIN RATES across the board over several months..
Many of our long-time readers know that we don't often recommend specific robots. However, we are very enthusiastic about Snapcash and we are very happy to give it our absolute HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION:
Learn More about the Snapcash Trading Robot..
First Impressions
The first thing you notice on their website, elitegoldprofits.com, is a video that is the center of attraction, as is with most of such scam websites. A point of interest is that below the video, the website proudly declares – 'Elite Gold Profit Service – Since 2004'. Now, the curious thing is that binary options weren't even around during 2004. This in itself points to Elite Gold Profits being a complete sham. However, there are a number of other points that lead to the same conclusion.
Their video is just a waste of digital bits
How Do The Names Relate?
If you notice, during the course of the video, the creators use a number of well-known and respected faces from multiple fields. Photos of Oprah Winfrey, Roger Federer, and Beyonce are liberally used but seem to have no bearing upon the software at all. Elite Gold Profits is trying to imply that this trading robot is used by celebrities. Unfortunately, none of the celebrities uses any of these auto trading robots and we are sure they have no idea that their images are being used to hawk digital snake oil.
Where Are The Celebrities?
Interestingly, there is no proof or testimony to this effect, and it is simply a ruse to pull more people in. It is possibly also a cover for the flimsy explanation attempted in the video about how binary options can make anyone so much money. The truth is that even traders who are experts in binary options trading and have a lot of experience in the field cannot make this much every day, and they definitely cannot guarantee anything, much less every day earnings.
The Elite Gold Profits Review Conundrum
Most fake autotrading software websites use fake reviews. To build up customer trust, they flood the web with positive reviews a few weeks before launch. Customers believe that the product is genuine reading the many positive reviews about the product without understanding that the negative reviews have been pushed down in the search results by all the fake review spam.
If you tried to Google Elite Gold Profits reviews near its launch date, you would have mostly found positive reviews of the software. This is an easy tell for any scam. If you can't seem to find any negative reviews, or balanced ones at least, there is definitely something fishy. Add to this the fact that the Elite Gold Profits is not a registered company with the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and a complete picture of this scam starts to emerge.
Who Is The Person Behind This Thing?
The person that they credit with the idea, one Nigel Pearson, is actually a well-known football manager. A simple Google search shows that he seems to have nothing to do with this Google Elite Gold Profits website at all. It seems that using well known celebrities as bait is their modus operandi. Do not believe everything you see. Such websites tend to prey on the gullible nature of people. Reviews like these expose the reality of such trading robot scams.
Buy In Before Time Runs Out!
The website also uses pressure tactics to get people to register with them. When you visit the website, you get a warning that you must sign up in the next two minutes or you won't get a chance. However, this is a complete sham as no matter how many time you come back to the site, you will get the same warning over and over again. You would probably know this if you have been using internet for a number of users but the occasional user can be easily made to believe otherwise.
This is a common tactic used by such scams to force people to sign up before they have a chance the properly research the website. And even if you give only your e-mail address, you will be inundated with spam and 'special offers' every day clogging your inbox.
Final Verdict – Save Yourself From Such Scams
Binary options is a growing field and has recently become quite popular, and therefore a lot of shady operators are taking advantage of the recent boom. People want to invest and try out binary options but do not have a lot of knowledge about trading robots, and forex robots. The best thing you can do is only use a registered broker or website.
The Elite Gold Profits scam is just one of the many binary trading robot scams and does many similar things to the other con jobs out there. For one, it doesn't let you see any negative reviews near its launch date, spamming the web with fake positive reviews. There are pressure tactics used to urge you to buy the product before time runs out. And there is the founder you can find no trace of online.
Keep an eye out for our reviews that show you all the signs you should look out for to determine if a particular website is a scam or if it is a legitimate operation.
Take a look at our latest scam reviews as well as positive reviews on binary robots for the worst and best forex autotrading apps.

JPMorgan in Talks to Raise Bear Stearns BidBy Reuters - | Posted 2008-03-24 Print
The deal to takeover Bear Stearns gets more complex as JPMorgan Chase is in talks to raise its share price offer, and the Fed is no too pleased.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - JPMorgan Chase & Co is in talks to raise its takeover offer for Bear Stearns Cos to about $10 a share in an effort to appease Bear shareholders angry with the cut-rate deal, a person briefed on the discussions said on Monday.
But the talks to increase the bid may still fall apart, and the timing of any announcement is uncertain, the source said.
JPMorgan's original agreement on March 16 to pay $2 per share in stock for Bear was widely considered a fire-sale price for the 85-year-old Wall Street investment bank. Bear collapsed as large subprime mortgage losses and falling confidence in the company prompted a run on the bank.
In pre-market electronic trading, Bear shares were up more than 50 percent at $9.15 with 50,500 shares changing hands. The stock closed Thursday at $5.96 in composite trading.
The original Bear takeover agreement was forged with the support of federal regulators, and the U.S. Federal Reserve is balking at the higher price, The New York Times said, citing people involved in the talks.
The newspaper said the Fed originally directed JPMorgan to pay no more than $2 per share to assure that it would not appear that Bear shareholders were being rescued.
Representatives of Bear and the Fed were not immediately available for comment. JPMorgan declined to comment.
An offer of $10 per share would value Bear at more than $1 billion. That price, however, is less than one-third of the stock's price on March 14, the last trading day before the original deal was announced. It is also less than 10 percent of the stock's price throughout much of 2007.
Jamie Dimon, JPMorgan's chief executive, grew convinced the merger was in jeopardy after spending much of the last week taking calls from indignant Bear shareholders, The New York Times said, citing people involved in the talks.
Among these shareholders was the British entrepreneur Joseph Lewis, who spent well over $1 billion on some 12.1 million Bear shares, including some as recently as March 13.
Last week, Lewis said he would take whatever action was needed to protect his investment, and might encourage Bear and third parties to pursue other transactions.
Bear shares closed on Thursday at $6.39, reflecting investor expectations that JPMorgan might raise its bid or that another suitor might offer a higher price. JPMorgan shares closed at $45.97.
According to The New York Times, Bear was seeking to authorize the sale of a 39.5 percent stake to JPMorgan on Sunday night, which under Delaware law it can do without shareholder approval. Both companies are incorporated in Delaware.
As part of the original agreement, the Fed extended a $30 billion credit line to JPMorgan to finance Bear's most illiquid assets.
JPMorgan was in talks with the Fed Sunday night to assume the first $1 billion of losses on Bear assets before the $30 billion cushion kicks in, the newspaper said.
The original agreement called for JPMorgan to swap 0.05473 of its shares for each Bear share.

#TwitterArtShow (working title)
#Swineflu is Born! 2009
I've decided to join the #TwitterArtShow (working title).
For like Sheree Rensel (aka wizzlewolf):-
"I am an artist. I use Twitter to follow other artists. There are many fantastic artists using Twitter. I thought it would be a grand idea if we joined together to create a Twitter Art Show group. Our mission is to write a proposal, submit our plan to art venues, and create an exhibition that can travel the world!"
I like the idea of it being inspired, rather than 'themed', by #hashtags on twitter.
I'm using the hashtag #swineflu.
I poured #Swineflu is Born! on Sunday, and spent yesterday afternoon removing an encasing eggshell-like fin. I got to the point shown in the photo and realised he was #swineflu and he was born.
I'm also discovering that taking sharp images of shiny pewter figures is very hard to do. May have to go back to the old camera.

So after a nice round-table discussion at Networking Field Day 11 we are again trying to define SDN in the Campus, something that's been around for some time now. Terry Slattery kicked this conversation off and it kinda morphed from there. But the fact that we're still trying to define it tells me that there are still an enormous mass of people out there that don't have any idea what's happening in data networking today. You can watch the round-table discussion in the following video, but I wanted to share some of my thoughts on SDN and it's features, along with a recommendation as to where you can go to learn a bit more.
SDN Features
Greg Ferro published his definition and I have to agree with what Greg wrote. SDN is not a single thing. SDN is a shift in how networking is being done today. So here's how I see it.
- SDN has a strong tie to Apps and API's. There should be software-based applications that provide a single interface for device configurations.
- SDN has monitoring capabilities that make the traditional network monitoring capabilities look like a peeping-tom with a pair of binoculars sitting in a tree across the street. The new network is and end-to-end monitoring with visibility that's better than before.
- SDN makes use of API's to decouple the software from the hardware, eliminating vendor lock-in and giving us the ability to move from vendor to vendor without a significant expense in new hardware.
SDN Learning
SDN is not scary. It's the future, even though we're probably not going to be calling it SDN. Rather we'love probably just call it "networking." So take the time right now to learn about networking. A great site geared toward learning is http://www.sdnskills.com/ by Wendell Odom. Tom Hollingsworth wrote a piece on SDN after ONUG back in 2013 with some great references. In fact, if you start searching for SDN you're probably going to be overwhelmed. So, maybe just start with Wendells site and then start branching out from there.
Final Thoughts
Things may seem a bit murky right now but in time that will all go away. We can't just give a single straight-forward definition because SDN is still something that vendors and IT organizations are wrapping their head around. As already mentioned, at some point this will just be called "Networking."

Hot off the update train, CF PillPad HD has been rebranded PillPad alongside a new update that brings further refinement to the patient pill management utility. You not have an integrated help section with more details, specifications of backup locations, better Q device support, and further updates to the in-app calculator.
If ever you're in the need of managing prescriptions this application is a beautiful native example that works very well given the focus. I love the native look and feel of the application nice touches like exporting your patient filing and even calendar integration for scheduling prescription refills really makes the app a well rounded offering.
**The price above is discounted for a limited time (normally $2.99) the application supports a very good cause and it's worth checking out at the link above.

If you are a primary grade teacher like us, the 100th Day of School is a big deal. Even though Annie has left the classroom, she still couldn't help but make Big B a sandwich shaped like the number 100 and dessert that looked like the number 100 (Swiss Roll and two Fudge Stripe cookies). Something about the first triple-digit number makes it so important. So last week, Kendra was typing a little blog about what she's been reading and noticed that we were getting close to our 100th post! (We love that blogging means we're reading more too.) So Kendra immediately emailed Annie. After an exchange of emails, and some funny text messages that really didn't have a thing to do with blogging, we knew a joint post was in order to share and celebrate a bit.
What started as an idea between three teachers-moms-friends has become a place to reflect upon literacy and learning in a new way. We are grateful for the connections with other educators that the blog has helped to foster. Our blog has helped us to develop a greater understanding of what it means to be a writer. We have learned a lot during our first 99 posts. The video, THE GAP, by Ira Glass (another Twitter find!) speaks to where we are at in our journey -- truly the beginning.
THE GAP by Ira Glass from frohlocke on Vimeo.
We know enough to know our writing isn't where we want it to be yet, especially if you consider Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000-Hour Rule. (Note to Us: Need more time to become a better blogger. Figure out a way to add more hours to the day.) But we're finding our voice and growing. Blogging requires you to put your thoughts and words out for public consumption. This can at times be a doubt-inducing experience.
So, thank you for letting us learn and join the conversation.
Our celebration will continue (because we love a good party) as we post 100 things about us...some school-related and some not.
Annie & Kendra

Jewish World Review Sept. 10, 2002/ 4 Tishrei, 5763
Lawrence Kudlow
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com | When the U.S. Congress first authorized the use of force against Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist army in a joint resolution adopted Sept. 14, 2001, the bottom-line-money paragraph stated, "The president is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons. ..." The italics are mine.
Official language is important. In particular, the word "harbored" is essential as the political debate heats up over President Bush's coming request that we take military action against Iraq.
In his great speech of Sept. 20, 2001, Bush coined the phrase, "Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Recent developments in Iraq and Iran suggest that al Qaeda -- the perpetrators of the terror of Sept. 11 -- is alive and significantly well. Even worse, al Qaeda is regrouping and recovering in new bases and safe harbors granted by Iraq and Iran. This means those countries stand in violation of U.S. wartime policy.
This is a scary and disturbing scenario but one that has been reported by a number of reliable sources. And because of these new reports, it will be essential that the Bush administration, in its discussions of Saddam Hussein's growing arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, not take its eye off the al Qaeda ball. In fact, the most politically potent argument for action against Iraq is quite simply that al Qaeda operatives are being backed and harbored by that country and its geographical neighbor, Iran.
It is this thought that must not be lost in the increasingly technical and esoteric arguments over Saddam Hussein's arsenal of weapons. The clearest and most present danger is that terrorists within the borders of Iraq and Iran are in all likelihood planning and plotting additional attacks against the families, businesses, buildings, ports, public utilities, hotels, restaurants and freedoms of the United States. These are al Qaeda terrorists, the ones responsible for 3,000 deaths a year ago.
A recent article in the International Herald Tribune reports that Kurdish leaders in Iraq have failed in an attempt to drive al Qaeda out of a mountain stronghold in a northeastern part of the country. Bill Gertz of The Washington Times writes that Arab terrorists linked to the al Qaeda network have tested chemical or biological weapons at a facility in northern Iraq. Bush administration intelligence officials corroborate this, pointing to a group known as Ansar al-Islam.
The New Yorker's Jeffrey Goldberg reported brilliantly on Ansar al-Islam last winter. This is a group of several hundred terrorists who were initially trained and organized by bin Laden troops and co-financed by al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's secret police. Today, their chests swell in the north of Iraq. Defense officials, meanwhile, say they were initially surprised at the large number and senior rank of the al Qaeda operatives moving into Iraq.
The Washington Post's Peter Finn has reported that al Qaeda members are being sheltered in guesthouses in the Iranian cities of Mashhad and Zabol. It is also reported that Iran has moved large quantities of al Qaeda gold from Afghanistan to the Sudan.
This new evidence supports Michael Ledeen's view in his excellent new book, The War Against the Terror Masters. Ledeen argues convincingly that major terror groups are coming together as an integrated network. This puts al Qaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Islamic Jihad and other PLO-groups all in the same dangerous pot.
And Ledeen points out that these groups are being aided and abetted by the "terror masters" -- namely Iran, Iraq and Syria, who foster, arm and train these terrorists, and Saudi Arabia, the financier. These are the safe-harboring states, who shield enemies of the United States -- and violate American war policy.
A year ago, this was the logic as stated by President George W. Bush and agreed to by Congress, the majority of Americans and people all over the world. There must be no safe-harboring of terrorists. Given new evidence of the regrouping, re-basing, rearming and refinancing of al Qaeda and its terrorist cousins, there can be no question that the president should frame the Iraq argument with this exact same logic.
Yes, the reason Iraq is the first target under discussion rather than Iran or Syria is that its leader has developed weapons of mass destruction and we cannot afford to let him get us before we get him. But the loss of thousands of lives at the hand of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda remains the emotional rallying point for America, so long as President Bush taps into this vein.
We first hit al Qaeda in Afghanistan, but the job is unfinished. They must be wiped out wherever they may be found. If the war against this evil takes us to Iraq, Iran or other states, then so be it. The defense of American freedom and democracy can know no geographic boundaries.

How to Solve Samsung Galaxy S4 Camera and Gallery App Problem?
Another common problem that has been reported by a good number of S4 users is media related. But one of the best things about this is that most of these problems are resolved manually or by going with some software update.
- Camera and gallery application not starting.
- Camera and Gallery app crashes randomly and at any point, even though none of the other apps are in use.
- Camera refuses to take pictures.
- Gallery apps not displaying some of the photos or not displaying them properly.
In the following lines you will get to know about the solution of all the above mentioned problems.
- This problem could also be SD card related, therefore the very first thing that you need to do is to remove your SD card and then try to take pictures and access your gallery, if everything is fine then change your SD card if not then SD card is not causing the problem.
- Go into:
- Settings
- More
- Application Manager
- All
- Go into problematic Camera and Gallery app
- Press Clear Cache and Clear Data. (If the app is running then Force stop it and check)
- Clear Cache of your S4, as sometimes cache also becomes the cause of the problem. After the cache wiping procedure is done then your phone will restart automatically. Previous step was to clear cache and data of the specific app, while this method is used to clear the entire cache data of your phone.
- Remove any of the third party camera and gallery related apps, as they could also be the cause of the problem. But before removing them, try updating them first, as sometimes the apps that are not updated also become the cause of similar problems. If that doesn't solves the problem then remove all those camera and gallery related apps.
- You can also try going with scanning your SD card and phone with the help of a good antivirus program, as your SD card or phone might have encountered any kind of virus and this might be causing the problem.
- Try restarting your phone in Safe Mode and check whether the problem persists or not. If it is also troubling in that as well then there are strong chances that your phone might be encountering some sort of hardware issue.
- If every above mentioned thing fails then it might be the hardware issue. In order to overcome this problem the very first thing that you need to do is to remove body of your S4 and check whether it is the problem of loose connection or not, as sometimes it also happens due to that. Else your phone might be encountering some other hardware issues.

The year 2011 was a pretty good year for Super Sentai and Kamen Rider films. We got the ultimate Sentai clash in Gokaiger Goseiger: Super Sentai 199 Hero Grand Battle and the surprisingly awesome Koichi Sakamoto-directed Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Fourze & OOO: Movie War Mega Max. We even begun the year on the right foot with a dream team-up alongside the very first Metal Hero in Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Space Sheriff Gavan: The Movie. So, my guess is that Toei felt really good about themselves and wanted to cash in on their successes as much as possible. This resulted in the very rushed catastrophe known as Kamen Rider x Super Sentai: Super Hero Wars.

It's a proof-of-concept short about a group of sushi chefs battling giant sea monsters and it looks all kinds of amazing. They hope to get enough of a following to make a feature film out of this someday and honestly, I hope this happens. It's got a great combination of humor, action and cool VFX. So check out their site for some behind-the-scenes content and spread the video around. We can help these guys make an awesome monster movie for all of us to enjoy.
