A collection of my favorite picture, short story, and chapter books that I hope to house in my classroom library!
He speaks for the trees! I love this vibrant work by Dr. Seuss. I think most of the charm of this book comes from the usage of made-up words. Seuss's made up characters make children giggle and use their imagination! I could use this book for all kinds of activities! I would love to read this on Earth Day. I think it would be great for students to research pollution and its effects on the environment after reading this text. Another great activity for young readers to try is a cause and effect study like the one I found here:

NC DOT employee dies in accident
A North Carolina Department of Transportation employee died Wednesday June 2nd in a tragic accident off a work-zone along I-40.
DOT employee, 21-year old Jonathan King, was hit by a tractor-trailer while setting up a work-zone along I-40 in Dublin County. Officials say the driver of the tractor-trailer took his eyes off the road for a second and swerved off the road, hitting and pinning King between two vehicles.
King is the first employee the North Carolina DOT has lost in a workplace accident in three years. One other employee was injured in the accident, but has been released by the hospital. The driver of the tractor-trailer is facing charges of misdemeanor death by motor vehicle and several other charges.
DOT supervisor Rodney Poe stated that the biggest difficulty is trying to get drivers to slow down when driving through construction zones.
Our sympathies go out to King's family and friends.

The month-long intensive English training 'gig' has come to an end. It was indeed very intense but I think everyone (including myself) learned a great deal. My lovely trainees presented me with a basket of yummy local goodies on the last day…..I think I must have mentioned my interest in food at some stage!?
In my experience, many French folk think that they have the poorest English skills in Europe. There are probably many factors contributing to this belief (fact?). In any case, teaching English here needs to include a big dose of psychology, along with humor, role plays…..and a little grammar.
I attended my 'Ceremonie de Naturalisation' where I, and 30 or so others, sang the French national anthem (or at least moved our lips) , shook hands with the local Prefet*, received documents regarding what it means to be a French citizen (which included -somewhat belatedly – the words to the national anthem), and toasted the occasion with a glass of champagne. It was a really nice event which balanced ceremony with conviviality .
However, in the very same week that I was officially welcomed into French society, I saw these flyers posted on cars parked in our town as I walked to the local market:
Following what seems to be a world-wide trend, many people seem to be looking for scapegoats or to be wishing they could go back to 'the good old days' rather than looking for solutions for the future. This is a concern as there will be the French presidential elections in April next year.
At least I'll be able to vote this time!
Meanwhile my dad was whisked into hospital to investigate blood clots on the lung. The tests took a week but did not reveal the cause. The doctors were able to find treatment to reduce the symptoms.
He is feeling better and I send a big THANK YOU to friends and family for their support. The bad news is that long haul aeroplane travel will no longer be an option for him…..which puts an end to our plans to have him visit here in France 😦
*'The prefect (prefet) is somewhat of an odd entity: standing between central and local government, their official role is to ensure local branches of state services function properly and they represent the state and ministers.'
'Often spotted in their official uniforms at opening ceremonies, commemorations and other important events, prefects are public figures but there is a lot more to them than meets the eye. Besides running what amounts to their own business with between 300 and 1,000 staff, the prefects have three main missions: to work with the police and the gendarmerie coordinating security issues; to manage the local branches of state services and their contacts with local government; and to work with different local bodies and companies to support the economy and pass on information on local affairs'.
'Today, their role is to act on behalf of the government, defend the national interest in their area and implement the government's policies, free of political pressure': http://www.connexionfrance.com/prefet-france-what-do-they-do-10662-news-article.html

Today we are joined by Karli Koning from http://www.behaviorpc.com/ to talk about challenging behavior problems in children. Karli explains how to figure out the function of a child's behavior and use that information to help correct it.Listen to the interview here or keep scrolling to view the notes:
Show Notes:
- ABC Model of Looking at Behaviors
- Removes the emotional component of dealing with behaviors
- A: Antecedent: What happens before the behavior occurs
- B: Behavior: Look at the actions of the child
- C: Consequence: Anything that happens after or as a result of the behavior
- Choose one type of behavior or situation to collect data on at any one time
- Functions of Behaviors
- Try to analyze why the behavior happened
- Function is either to get something or avoid/escape something
- Interventions
- Come up with a replacement behavior that you can teach them that will give them a more appropriate way to communicate that need
- Change the environment so the behavior is less likely to occur
- Make the old behavior less effective (don't respond to that)
- Reinforcement vs. Punishment
- Reinforcement will allow you to reinforce positive behaviors (the replacement behavior) whereas punishment applies a consequence for the old, inappropriate behavior
- There are some situations where punishment is necessary but you should always start by reinforcing the positive behavior and making the old behavior less effective
- Match the replacement behavior to the skill level of the child
Get the Worksheets!
Don't forget to download my awesome worksheets that will give you a place to collect data about the behaviors you are seeing and make your hypothesis about what the function of the behaviors is. Also, this handout includes replacement behaviors for each of the different functions so you can quickly and easily know what replacement behaviors to teach the child.

Dinner Out
A little over two weeks ago I threatened Hirono that I wouldn't shave until we went out together, just the two of us. It took a bit over a week before she realized I was serious. We finally made it out tonight for dinner. It was a local Cyprus cuisine restaurant. A bit overpriced for the quality but still pretty good. Their wine list was quite good. The most important part was that we could spend about two hours alone together over a nice dinner and glass of wine. It was the first time the two of us had gone to dinner alone since before the girls were born.

A woman walks into a local restaurant, sits down at the table, and stays there – for days, weeks, years. She is served meals, and washes in the restroom. Any member of staff who takes against her is promptly sacked. The maître d' tells the story to one new recruit: the woman had fallen in love with the chef-proprietor; but he was already tied to his restaurant. When the chef and the woman made love, the restaurant caused a small earth tremor in protest. The restaurant would not be left out of its owner's affections, so the woman stays there to appease it.
All of this is told in the most delightfully measured prose, as carefully placed as the elements of a fine restaurant dish. That prose style creates its own world for the story, so that everything within it seems quite logical and natural. By the end, I was reluctant to leave.

If you live in London or Manchester the bears will be on display in Selfridges before going to auction. How much of a fabulous idea is this- you know they're going to raise a massive amount of money for such a brilliant cause!!

MRI-guided breast biopsy is usually a preferred alternative to surgical biopsy. It is used when ultrasound or mammogram (stereotactic) guided biopsy is not appropriate because the area of concern is not well seen by mammography or ultrasound. Sometimes, MRI-guided biopsy is called for when an abnormality is seen only on a breast MRI and cannot be visualized by ultrasound or mammogram.
The positioning for MRI-guided biopsy is similar to that for breast MRI imaging. The patient lies prone on the table and the breast to be biopsied is lightly compressed between a plate and a localizing grid under the MRI table. Gadolinium is injected into a vein and preliminary MRI pictures are obtained. Guided by MRI imaging, the doctor places a needle into the suspicious area and removes a sample. A core needle, which removes a small, cylindrical-shaped tissue sample, is generally used. The procedure requires only a topical anesthetic and leaves little to no scarring. MRI-guided breast biopsy costs less than a surgical biopsy, can be done in less than an hour and has no significant complications. At Montclair Radiology, your MRI-guided biopsy is made faster and more accurate with the aid of DynaCad technology, which streamlines the biopsy process.

Topic: Pollution Prevention
Order Description
Pollution prevention refers to the process of reducing or eliminating waste at the source by implementing conservation techniques, reusing materials rather than putting them into the waste stream, and managing waste so that its environmental impact is limited. For this assignment, pretend that you have just been hired by the city of Ashford to develop a pollution prevention plan. The city currently has 100,000 residents but is rapidly expanding and soon the city will be producing too much waste and wastewater for the current structure. Thus, you need to develop a plan that will allow for the continued development of the city with limited environmental impact. Remember the primary goal is to prevent pollution and the secondary goal is to successfully handle and treat the pollution. In your Final Paper you must:
Develop a plan to limit solid waste production in the face of a growing population.
Describe how you will manage waste that cannot be prevented
Develop a plan to prevent excess wastewater in the face of a growing population.
Describe how you will manage wastewater that cannot be prevented.
Develop a land management program to limit destruction in the face of expanding housing and commercial areas.
Describe the economic and political feasibility of the plan and present ideas to overcome any proposed barriers to its implementation.
Must be eight to ten double-spaced pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a title page with the following:
Title of paper
Student's name
Course name and number
Instructor's name
Date submitted
Must begin with an introductory paragraph that has a succinct thesis statement.
Must address the topic of the paper with critical thought.
Must end with a conclusion that reaffirms your thesis.
Must use at least four scholarly sources, in addition to the course text.
Must document all sources in APA style, as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Must include a separate reference page, formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.

The Biblical Narrative & the Historicity of The Tower of Babel.
According to Genesis the people "moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar, and settled there" (11:1). This was the place where the Tower of Babel was to be built. According to the text the construction of this great edifice was to be a challenge to God (11:4), and in response God confused their languages (11:9). This of course would cause havoc, and the people as a result scattered (11:8). However, did such a structure really exist, and what can historical and archaeological evidence tell us about it?
Scholars have argued that The Tower of Babel was a large ziggurat devoted to Marduk, a Mesopotamian god, by king Nabopolassar (c. 610 BC) (1). It was a tall structure standing taller than 90 meters.
The Genesis account is seen to be valuable since it is consistent with known facts from the world at that time. For instance, the reference to a tower in Babylon is consistent with the fact that such towers (ziggurats) were common in that ancient locale. In fact, 32 ziggurats are known to have been built in Mesopotamia (2). 28 of those are in Iraq and four in Iran. These large towers would consist of platforms that were built one on top of the other, and became smaller in size until the pinnacle was reached. The pinnacle had a small temple that was devoted to a deity. Professor of Assyriology Donald Wiseman explains that the Genesis 11 account "bears all the marks of a reliable historical account" (8). Another commentator says that "the background that is here sketched proves to be authentic beyond all expectations" (9).
The rather small reference to the usage of "brick" and "bitumen" (11:3) also seems to be authentic since these ziggurats in Mespotamia were made from sun-baked bricks that were set in bitumen. These bricks would sometimes have the names of kings engraved into them (4). This suggests that the Genesis account is describing a real structure in history. Furthermore, Genesis 10:10 says that Babel was in Nimrod's kingdom, however, the Bible does not specifically say that Nimrod built the tower, but many other historical sources do. For instance, since Nimrod's kingdom included the cities of Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, it was likely under his direction that the building of Babel and its tower began. This matches other historical accounts found by Josephus Flavius, in the Talmud (Chullin 89a, Pesahim 94b, Erubin 53a, Avodah Zarah 53b), and the later midrash such as Genesis Rabba.
Other Literature on The Tower of Babel.
In other literature there is a Sumerian account conspicuously similar to the Genesis narrative, called Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta. In this account Enmerkar is said to be building a colossal ziggurat in Eridu, and following this there is a confusion of languages: "the whole universe, the well-guarded people — may they all address Enlil together in a single language" (3). However, this source goes back earlier than 2000 BC, whereas the dating of the Biblical Babel is believed to be around 600 BC.
Further textual sources mention the destruction of the tower, whereas Genesis does not. Its destruction is mentioned in the Book of Jubilees (ch. 10 v.18-27), Cornelius Alexander (fragment 10), Abydenus (frags. 5 and 6), Josephus (Antiquities 1.4.3), and the Sibylline Oracles (iii. 117–129). These sources describe God destroying the tower with a strong wind. According to Abydenus it was "[U]ntil this time all men had used the same speech, but now there was sent upon them a confusion of many and divers tongues." Plato, in the 5th century B.C., tells of a time when men spoke the same language, but an act of the gods caused them to be confounded in their speech (4). Josephus Flavius, a Jewish historian of the 1st century, draws on an ancient source: "When all men were of one language, some of them built a tower, as if they would thereby ascend up to heaven, but the gods sent storms of wind and overthrew the tower, and gave every one his peculiar language; and for this reason it was that the city was called Babylon." (5)
Professor Jan Gertz.
The Genesis account does not intend to be exhaustive, as scholar Jan Gertz, a Professor of Old Testament studies, writes, "Gen 11:1-9 reports little about the actual tower. For example, the story only implies that the workers stopped building the tower. The tower's destruction, though often read into the story, is never stated. Instead of being the central interest of the story, the tower functions as a symbolic motif" (6). On the same note, Professor Strawn explains that "The tower of Babel story is replete with gaps—notable lacks in important information. It does not indicate—at least not clearly—what is wrong with this city and tower that God should be bothered by it in the first place." (7)
Although Gertz views Gen 11:1-9 as mostly myth set in primeval times, he still insists on a historical side to the narrative. According to Gertz the biblical narrative is "set in the land of Shinar (Gen 11:2)… scholars argue that the text's author was thinking of the ziggurat Etemenanki, which is located in ancient Babylon. The imagery of a building reaching the heavens supports this suggestion (Gen 11:4). If this is correct, then Gen 11:3 provides further evidence for the time of writing: the oldest ziggurat was originally built with mud bricks. Only at the latest building stage, in the seventh century B.C.E., did it receive a sheathing of fired bricks. It is also possible that the notion of an "unfinished" tower is connected with the extensive damage done by the Persian king Xerxes (518–465 B.C.E.) to religious buildings in Babylon. All things considered, the tower of Babel story is likely a postexilic addition to the primeval history."
In conclusion Gertz explains that "Some scholars dispute the identification of the tower mentioned in Gen 11:1-9 with the ziggurat Etemenanki because the Hebrew word migdal can describe every form of tower and the expression "city and tower" could also refer to the city and its acropolis. However, as the story is located in Babylon, the identification with Etemenanki is reasonable."

19 Months Seizure-Free and Counting!
This is a long awaited post and more than a month overdue!! Things got busy and so much has changed in the last few months including the fact that Abram started pre-school in an integrated classroom with a one-on-one aide, he started and finished a 12 week MNRI program and began another one and we celebrated a huge milestone of being FIVE HUNDRED DAYS seizure free!!
Election Day marked this much anticipated milestone but of even more importance is the fact that in addition to the year-and-a-half of seizure freedom, Abram's Neurologist agreed to let us wean the last and final doses of his benzodiazepine from his system.
As I write this today, my son is pharmaceutical-free and seizure-free on cannabis alone. Please know that we did NOT do this on our own. We are very lucky to have a Neurologist and a Pharmacist who helped us along the way knowing when it was time to wean, how much to wean and what to be worried about. Weaning a benzo can CAUSE seizures so we were VERY careful about how we weaned this highly addictive medication and have been doing so since May of 2015. It was very slow going - only weaning .25 of a mL at a time and holding for at least two weeks before going down on the next dose. We also held the last wean for 6 months to ensure that he had no ill effects from it. So, if you are a parent hoping to be pharmaceutical-free - please do not do so unless your Neurologist is on board and if you are given a weaning schedule - do not hurry it. We were told how to wean and then we doubled the time because our son is so sensitive to things that we didn't want to trigger seizures or cause him any harm.
We finally weaned the last tiny .25mL dose (just .25mg of clonazepam) within three weeks last month and the only issue we have seen is a little bit of fussiness and NO physical seizures! This is a HUGE DEAL to my family and I can only hope that as Abram's body adjusts to having no benzos that it continues to be this way for us. Our son had words before the benzo worsened his seizures and caused him to regress so we are hopeful that he will once again be able to say "mama" or "papa".
In the 18 months since we started cannabis oil, our life as we knew it changed for the better. Our son is able to BE a little boy and he can now run, jump, ride an adaptive trike, do an 8 piece puzzle, string beads, stack blocks, he's learned about 50 signs (as he is totally non-verbal) and he's beginning to make eye-contact and engage in play with his classmates at preschool. We couldn't be more thankful!!
However, the Medical Cannabidiol Law in Iowa, the law that keeps us safe and free from arrest by allowing families like mine to posses this oil, expires on July 1st. I am hopeful that the Iowa Legislature will do the right thing this session by passing a meaningful piece of cannabis legislation that allows for access to this plant in Iowa to Iowans with a Medical Advisory Board. If you or someone you know could benefit from medical cannabis, please write to your legislators, senators and congressman and ask them for their support.
Thanks for reading this!

Miss Ultra Universe
I'm glad some of us Buffies have been writing lately (Bad Meg, Bad Meg)
'From all across the multiverse, the mega-goddesses gathered once again for the Miss Ultra-Universe Contest. It was held every billion years to determine who was simply the most massive, most powerful, and most ravishing ultra-goddess in existence. Thousands of women of all sizes and levels of musculature poured into the mega-dimensional building, all the super strong women from the multiverses are here - Annie Huge, Average Woman, Static Girl, Tetsi Fli, The Shulk, Quadra Six Pack, and Princess Death from Planet Oblivion is here, all heavy lifters and working their massive bodies to the max. They range from a few million light years tall to several billion light years tall. They are all working out in the trillion light year pump room when the doors swing open and the sculpted mass of bronzed titanic muscle known as Mega Goddess Belle walks in.
It was clear she had spent the last billion years working hard on her physique after placing second in the last competition. It looked like she had enough muscle to equal the muscle of the thousands of other competitors put together. Even the previous champion, Princess Death, only now came up to Belle's waist. Looking down at the previous champion, Belle flexed her colossal right bicep and watched as the perfect split peak rose to attention criss-crossed by a network of thick veins pulsing with white-hot plasma-the stuff of stars.
"Hey little girl. It looks like my arm has more muscle in it than your entire body. You should have worked harder. Just wait'll you see me with a good pump."
With casual ease, she brushed by the seemingly tiny Mega Goddess and entered the pump room. Each step of Belle sent shockwaves through the building, caused her thighs to surge and swell with power, and saw her calves explode outward with inconceivable power. Belle walks up to the cables moving the setting from 1 megaverse to 100 megaverses and giggled out loud, "Who was the little girl warming up with one megaverse? I like to use 100 reps at 100 megaverses just to warm up my biceps."
"But, this is impossible," the seemingly tiny mega-goddess stammered, "I worked even harder than I did for the last competition. I'm more ripped than ever. I added twenty billion light years to my stature!"
"Ha, you're so cute like that. I added one hundred billion light years in stature, increased my muscle volume fifty times over, and increased my muscle density by over a million times. I'm a super-pumped mega-muscular ultra-goddess Fifty million times stronger than I was last time. Just wait'll you see me with a good pump. It's mind-blowing! I just hope this little gym has enough weight to satisfy me. These muscles love pumping the big weights. I mean, all the mass in all the universes in existence can't even begin to quench my muscles need for pump." As she warms up the weights seem lighter and lighter, and no matter how many universes she puts on, she finds it becoming too easy.
Belle moves to a bench to try tricep dips, she might get some more resistance just using her own weight. This proves a bit better, and her triceps swell and her arms are almost as big as her thighs now, but Belle decides she is not getting anything like a good pump with the small weights they have, and goes outside. The building shines and glitters in the light from the multiple galaxies, and is built to look like a stack of weights, going up in decreasing sizes. There must be about a million floors, and the bottom 'plate' of this huge construction is at least 100 trillion light years across.
This gives Belle an idea, she bends down and gets a finger hold under the edge of the bottom floor. With huge effort she strains to lift the megalithic structure. There is the sound of snapping girders and earthquakes shatter the mega-dimensional planet the foundations are rooted in. Her muscles strain and bulge as she lifts the building. Massive veins infused with solar plasma swell all over her ultra-powerful body. Now at last she will get a good workout! Holding the building by one edge, and ignoring the sound of people and weights falling about inside, she begins free weight squats. At the first squatting she finds the weight almost unbearable, but as she straightens her legs, keeping her abs tight and chest high, she manages it without locking her knees. After the tenth squat, she is beginning to enjoy it, and the building feels much lighter. Thick masses of striated muscle bulge in every direction and surge ever more massive with each rep until at last her gargantuan layers of rippling exotic muscle surge against each other.
The feeling of her muscles rubbing against her womanhood sends shivers through her massive erotic body. Sweating heavily, her sweat and juices run down her pulsating muscles, lubricating as her legs crash together like continents. Better try something else now she thinks, my thighs are so huge, any bigger and I will not be able to walk!
Changing her stance, Belle starts to do overhead dumbbell presses, slowly lifting the building up and down. Each titanic rep causes the exercise to become much easier, causes her shoulders, biceps, and triceps to swell with inhuman might, causes the muscles to split and separate into masses of ultra-feminine power. She breathes deep letting her chest swell in and out. As she goes past the hundred rep mark, her shoulder muscles explode to twice their size in deeply grooved striated masses covered in huge thick veins pumping nutrients to swollen masses of muscle. With one more deep breath, her bikini top bursts and is fired out into space.
Giggling, the ultra-goddess muses out loud, "I didn't need that anyway. Now I wonder how I'm going to get my tiny little bikini bottom off now that my legs are so incredibly massive?"
Casually dropping the ultra-massive building, Mega-goddess Belle drew her massive arms in front of her and thrust her luscious hips backward while flexing down hard. Every muscle in her body exploded outward with colossal force. Huge veins snaked across her body rising to their full glorious prominence. Her massive traps surged up threatening to engulf her ears as her massive biceps fought for space with her mountainous breasts. Each of her twin glutes surged into massive striated mounds of perfection and squeezed the tiny fabric caught between them and pushed it to the breaking point. The fabric stretched and strained over her swollen clitoris sending shockwaves of pleasure coursing through her mega-titanic body.
Relaxing her flex, Belle licked her lips and prepared for another herculean effort. Again she threw her body into a crab flex with everything she had. Her muscles responded like never before surging to new heights of definition and size. Sweat rolled off her titanic body, down the crevices between her muscles, and along the groves of her veins. Every striation of every muscle in her body rose to magnificent prominence and then finally, at last, the tiny constraining bikini bottom snapped and fell to the ground.
Now that's much better she thinks, I will try one handed overhead presses now. As she raises and lowers the building with one hand, her bicep builds peaks on peaks and as it brushes her face she kisses on it and thinks "These babies are going to win me the title this time!" Her triceps bulge into huge horseshoes of rippling striated muscle as she continues to overhead press, first one hand, then the other. She loses count of how many she has done as the weight of the building seems to get lighter and lighter each time and she dreams of what she will do with the other contestants when she is the supreme goddess of all the entire universes.
She is woken from her daydreams by a voice calling her. It is the Boy Wonder, hanging out of the front door of the building "For gawds sake Belle," he says, "put us down. The other contestants have conceded defeat. None are as strong as you; you are the new Miss Ultra-Universe!"
"What," thinks Belle, "it was that easy? And I had so many more muscles to exercise as well. What a bunch of wimps." She flicks her fingers and the building clangs onto the ground. "Oops, should not drop heavy weights on the floor," she giggles.
She enters the building, and the other contestants are helping Boy Wonder to carry the trophy to her. Tho' it is only the size of a medium planet, it is made from super heavy metals, and a mere superhero like Boy Wonder could not carry it. As Belle receives the trophy, she thinks how light it feels in her hand while the other ladies are lying on the floor recovering from carrying it. The previous winner, Princess Death, looks on with envy.
"Now that I am the Ultimate Goddess of all the entire Universes, you will ALL do my bidding from now on," she tells them.
"Yes Great Goddess Belle," they all reply.
"First then," she says, "I see from the bulge in your pants, Boy Wonder, that you like what I have become. Drop your pants and let us get to it!"
"YES MA'AM," he shouts as his giant man sausage bursts forth.
"In fact" says Belle "you can ALL join in the fun - I insist. It's my birthday, no harm can come to you."
"Yes Great Goddess Belle," they all reply, even Princess Death kneels down before her.'
So remember, children, we are ALL made from star stuff - we can all be heroes, and we don't need magic to help us.
*hugs* from Belle

fair enough...well, for starters, the universe is inconceivably large. i get that you're trying to get the picture across that you're incredibly large, but this is not the way. the definition of the universe is basically everything that exists. TWO universes, therefore, would be two WHOLE existences...that means EVERYTHING that is out there right now, is doubled...that's BIG (and not in a way that we can fathom with our feeble minds)ReplyDelete
what i'm trying to say is, having a competition that takes place once every billion years is just too unbelievable...if it were every century for example, then it'd be much more conceivable...
another thing (and ill end here), a megaverse, shouldn't be viewed as a weight...u can't weigh the universe...a terraton is 1000000000000 tons (1 trillion) and that's the weight system they use for planets...to put that in perspective for you: 1 ton is 1000 kg most pro male body builders can usually bench press about 400 kg...
i like your stories, but please, try to be reasonable with your numbers...wen i write stories, i DO go into the realm of the impossible, believe me, but my character has to yet be able to lift anything heavier than a car...because anything heavier would be playing with the border of impossibility....
and with that, my rant is over...sorry if i come off as being rude or mean or too critical...consider it CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ;)

Actually, the universe does have a finite mass. Astronomers have estimated the density of the universe to be 3x10^-28 kg/m^3 with a radius of about 1.7x10^28 m. This roughly extrapolates to the universe having a finite mass of about 6x10^51 kg.ReplyDelete
I find it to be quite comprehensible though I suspect that the very idea was to create a story of an individual with incomprehensible strength.
By the way, good constructive criticism always begins with a positive statement or two. This serves the purpose showing consideration for the writer and a genuine interest in the writing. Thus the critic creates an avenue that his critique will be read and potentially incorporated. A blunt attack will almost always be disregarded by the author. Perhaps if you wish your critiques to be well-received in the future you could open with something like this:
Hey Belle,
I must admit I enjoyed several aspects of your story. The descriptions of the main characters musculature were pretty solid. The only thing I really became hung up on was the extreme size measurements. They were so inconceivably large that I don't think many readers will be able to grasp what you were trying to achieve with this story. Other than that, I thought it was a entertaining story.

WOW and hey, have just found these comments - it was just meant to be a bit of fun, a complete nonsense about muscle growth and strength, not to be taken seriously, i thought - but then i am blonde!!!!ReplyDelete
I love you all, keep exercising those grey cells as well as your muscles, Belle xxx

THE AUTHOR: K.M. Daughters (writing team of sisters, Pat Casiello and Kathie Clare).
THE EDITOR: Ally Robertson.
THE PUBLISHER: The Wild Rose Press.
SUMMARY: Nikki Lambert's husband purposely stalls his truck in the path of the midnight freight on the same day her eldest son, Jack, is diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder. Injured NFL quarterback, Ramsey Delaney is benched from his starting position leaving him ample time for more hands-on involvement in The Good Sports Club, a community center he established where Nikki's sons, Jack and Rocky are enrolled. Jack's deteriorating motor skills concern Ram's employees who bar Jack from attending the club without Ram's knowledge. Nikki wants nothing but normalcy for Jack and she heatedly confronts Ram for depriving her son of a beloved activity. Ram immediately reinstates Jack forging the fateful bond between Nikki and her boys' number-one sports hero. Ram is instantly attracted to Nikki. He wants to win her heart more than he's ever wanted to win a game. But after her husband's terrible abandonment will Nikki trust Ram's motives and open her heart to love again?
THE BACK STORY: Through this story, we wanted to explore how the traditional tight-knit family can find its relationship with love torn to shreds upon the diagnosis of a potentially fatal disease. We explore this through the broad spectrum of love we are all blessed with – romantic, maternal, brotherly, and paternal love. We're also on a mission to raise vital awareness for ALD which, while unusual and rarely diagnosed, is vicious enough to turn any family's life into a nightmare. The book was actually inspired by a real-life event that we conceived, held by Kathie's son, at Harvard University, to raise funds for ALD.
Kathie's son, Mike, was captain of the football team and discovered that the team secretary's grandson had received an ALD diagnosis. We're so proud to be turning this literary project into something genuinely charitable.
WHY THIS TITLE: The title coincides with a real-world event that we conceived to fund adrenoleukodystrophy research.
LOCAL OUTLETS: Autographed copies by order at The Bookstore, Glen Ellyn, IL.
WHERE ELSE TO BUY IT: Print copies by order at your local bookstore, online at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and all book retailers in print and digital.

WHY SOMEONE WOULD WANT TO READ IT: Written from the heart by K.M. Daughters, a unique writing partnership between sisters, Pat Casiello and Kathie Clare, 'Fill The Stadium' embroils readers in one family's grapple with a fatal genetic disorder, its impact on two young brothers' passion for football and its ability to redefine the many types of love that exist in life. But this is so much more than a book of thoroughbred fiction; Daughters' narrative also raises vital awareness for Adrenoleukodystrophy.
REVIEW COMMENTS: Kirkus Reviews: "Nikki—an ordinary woman suddenly confronted with an extraordinary demand on her adaptability and emotions—is a vivid fictional creation. And young Jack himself develops into the book's most memorable character. The book's well-orchestrated ending sections shouldn't leave a dry eye in the house.
An effective modern-day romance about two people brought together by the tragedy of a child's illness."
Amazon reviewer, "Wow! If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I would. I absolutely loved this story."
Kathleen D. reviewer, "Another great novel by KM Daughters. You filled our hearts with "Fill the Stadium."
M. Watson, reviewer: "I loved every word."
Lisa Fitzpatrick, reviewer: "I couldn't put it down. It was really well written, liked the different points of view of the characters. The story reminds us that kids can accomplish amazing things when they put their mind to it!"

Independence Day: Resurgence review
Independence Day may be director Roland Emmerich's best film, but that doesn't actually make it a good one. At best, it's just adequate - a mostly coherent story told by a mediocre director with characters that are, for the most part, purely functional. It's legacy comes more from the novelty it was at the time of release than anything else, and if we are being honest it's fair to say that Will Smith is, by and large, the only truly memorable or worthwhile aspect of the entire movie.
So imagine if Independence Day didn't have Will Smith. Imagine that it was bigger, and significantly stupider. Imagine that it was even less in control of itself, veering wildly in tone throughout. Imagine that it was badly put together, derivative of that which came before, utterly without charm or that earnest 90's cheese.
That would still be a better film than Independence Day: Resurgence.
Set 20 years after Independence Day, Independence Day: Resurgence has the alien species from the first film return to Earth in order to finish what they started. After an initial attack wipes out several major cities, it's up to the ESD (Earth Space Defense) to do what they can to stop the aliens from destroying the entire planet.
Independence Day: Resurgence is yet another film that is all too happy to simply regurgitate the same plot points, characters and iconography from earlier films in order to generate a feeling of familiarity and safety, rather than having to go to all the effort of doing something new. It's something we've seen more and more of in recent years, to varying degrees of success - Star Wars: The Force Awakens may have just about gotten away with it by being at least being entertaining when it was doing new things, but that's hardly high praise, and Independence Day: Resurgence fails to do even that.
It doesn't even have the courtesy to at least be bad in interesting ways, instead suffering from the exact same problems you've seen in a hundred other big, dumb blockbusters. It's awfully structured. It's got no interesting characters. It relies on spectacle that is no longer spectacular. It's bland. It's generic. It's wholly unoriginal. These are quickly becoming a checklist of criticisms that can be made about a large proportion of would-be tent-pole features, and the fact that Independence Day: Resurgence suffers from them too is as unsurprising as it is frustrating. Roland Emmerich has long said that he makes "popcorn for the masses", but what he's really saying is that he makes films for people who don't care about films. And when that's the case, where is the incentive to really try to make something good?
It isn't there, which is why Independence Day: Resurgence has nothing to offer neither fans of the original film nor new audiences, and especially not anyone who would considers themselves to be a film fan. It's just so low effort in every area, as if someone wrote a first draft of the script and decided that was good enough, or as if the take used in the film was the only one ever filmed. Nothing works the way it should, leading to a film that is completely unengaging throughout.
I didn't expect much from Independence Day: Resurgence - I doubt anyone did - but the fact that it fails to meet even those very low expectations is in itself a good indication of what you might get from a film that aims for "dumb fun" but forgets that all important "fun" part. It's a disappointing return to a world that never needed returning to; a huge waste of time that could instead be spent doing any number of other, more worthwhile things; a film that Will Smith was smart to avoid. As I said earlier, Independence Day may be director Roland Emmerich's best film - but Independence Day: Resurgence may well be his worst.

The Life Sublime en VARIETY
Vazquez knew his grandfather, nicknamed "El Cuco," as a happy but reserved man who maintained a silence about his past -- unsurprising given the Spanish Civil War, followed by the Franco years. He sets out to trace El Cuco's mysterious journey south in the late 1930s, stopping to reflect alone or with friends on what differentiates Andalusia from Castile. Discussions about the lure of the past, or anarchy vs. populism, ultimately take a back seat to gorgeously lensed still and traveling shots of green fields and sun-dried pastures, or meditations on the quality of the summer light in Cadiz.

So yeah, when it comes to programming, I am a real noob, anyone can point me out how to do the Huh-Ha! of mercenary AI? I have seen some videos, quite amazing what they can achieve to do.
And since we are in the subject already, when the contract expires (30 min passes) you only get 1 Loyalty Point instead of 10, is this intended or its a bug? Because the main page says that Mercenaries have 10x intimacy rate.

"I did this because of that? I did that because of this? I defined myself around that accident or that person or that ridiculously minor event?"
— From Ghost Exit by Philip Roth
I've been in bed these last days. I began reading Ghost Exit, by Philip Roth, with a high fever and a head ache, and felt like his words might be causing my symptoms. You know what I mean? I was in no condition to be reading. My eyes hurt. I was delirious, my hips and neck ached. I was sick to my stomach. And he was going on about mortality, about illness, incontinence and impotence. About longing, the desire that continues after the ability to act on it has gone. About memory loss. About finding the world a suddenly hostile, alien place where everyone is tethered to a cell phone. About being affected by the long ago past. Zuckerman looks at the young lives in progress around him and he can see into their future. They are "not-yets" who will become "no-longers." It was moving, fascinating to read. But today I had to throw it off a little bit.
I'm still feeling weak but went out to the studio and worked on the song called "Oh, The World." I mentioned it to DW at our meeting last Monday and he wants to hear it as a possibility for a campaign he's working on. I like the song. The lyric is good, I think. But it's not really about the world. It's one of my songs. It's about the same thing all my songs are about more or less. The chorus lyric goes like this:
Elusive happiness
You change your shape
I lose your scent
Still, I'm hellbent
On chasing you down
Where have you gone now?
Well, maybe it is a bit different from my other songs. Maybe it has something in common with the Philip Roth book, in fact. It has this verse:
Oh, the world
The maps are torn
The tracks are worn
The memories long
It's evening now. I'm sitting here at the dining room table. The big wooden bowl full of oranges looks beautiful. Outside the wind has picked up and it's started to snow. When the wind blows here, it sounds as if the trees could come down. They roar. I wonder if the electricity will go out? Sally is sleeping near me on a chair. Whenever the weather gets bad, I'm thankful she's an indoor cat now. She's still in denial but she'll get used to it.
That quote at the top of this post is really something, isn't it? With its suggestion that life's choices have been almost arbitrary. That maybe crucial, pivotal decisions were made for the wrong reasons. That life could have gone this way or that. I'm not sure it's the case though. Sometimes I wonder, If I could go back and make this decision or that one again, would I make the correction? And I'm not sure. I think I might do all of it again. Make all the same mistakes. For all the same reasons. I'm not saying I'd want to. Maybe that's what fate is.
