Separate Video, more commonly known as S-Video and Y/C. It is an analogue video transmission scheme, in which video information is encoded on two channels: luma (luminance, intensity, "Y") and chroma (colour, "C"). This separation is in contrast with lower-quality composite video, in which all video information is encoded on one channel, and higher-quality component video, in which video information is encoded on three channels. S-Video carries standard definition video (typically at 480i or 576i resolution), but does not carry audio on the same cable.

Respect The Neighors • Drayco McCoy (FullyAutomaticDrayco)
Hometown: Fort Wayne / Indianapolis, IN • Age: 22 • Follow: Twitter // Soundcloud
Drayco Mccoy is a twister of vibes manically flying through the Midwest, party coming straight out your headphones in an explosion of chaotic hip-hop. He's got his own distinctly Indianapolis style, one of basements, mosh pits, bass, crushed cans, distortion, cig butts, and a love of basketball. A sense of humor, too ("I sold like 30 Xans in front of Trader Joes"). Official name FullyAutomaticDrayco, you can also call him Drayco McCoy, and he produces music under the name BigBabyGuillotine. Keep up. A lot to unpack, but don't over-analyze; the directness of his music is what makes it pop.
The sound of Drayco McCoy may be hard to explain at first, but Indianapolis' under the radar and on the rise music landscape is the first place to look. Drayco sees it a point where all sorts of sounds are converging, and he's a part of that.
"Indianapolis' music scene is very diverse. We have a lot of very talented artists and everyone in the hip-hop scene has shown great support and love for one another. Everyone provides something different and fresh, and it's a great experience, especially for those who are just recently discovering what we have to offer."
A city undefined by any genre in particular reflects in Draco McCoy's music. Cohesive, but eclectic, manifested in a house party maelstrom influenced by hip-hop, punk, and whatever else, as long as it goes hard. DIY movement kicking, artists from Indianapolis are keeping live music alive, rap and rock sharing the city. His performances have already given Drayco McCoy a glowing reputation, who performed over fifty live shows in the last couple years in Indiana, with everything from rock groups to straight hip-hop bills. From Drayco's fans to his music itself, he's been an undeniable success bridging across genre.
Drayco McCoy is equally effective riding between waves of hip-hop fans. The new school will immediately embrace his left field, Midwest-macabre, the raw noise, and older heads can't deny FullyAutomaticDrayco's devious bars upon bars. As such, his music is immediately confident. There's no creative hesitation, he knows exactly what he's doing (each project a progression, yet each still Drayco). With 3 mixtapes and an EP in 2016 alone, his already prolific library is a testament to his work ethic, a long trail of evidence towards his unique creative talent. Find his bandcamp to go even deeper.
What's it sound like? His project Drayco McGrady, released a couple weeks ago, is underground yet completely polished, a dark night time traipse through NapTown. His product, aided by some brilliant work on production from Rich Beats, himself, and many others, is a tightrope walk between distorted turn ups and shadowy late nights on city streets. A look at the person behind the party, peeking into the craziness, the night of, and the morning after. This balancing act is made possible only by the work of Drayco McCoy, who successfully coveys his persona on every track, a devilish, streetwise, function-loving, wordsmith. Brilliantly braggadocios on his raps, but if you ask real life FullyAuto, he offers a more reserved take on his success.
"Drayco McCoy is just a young talented dude, trying to figure out his destiny. Just like the rest of us."
Drayco McCoy will be performing his first show in Chicago for FSD x RBSS March 8, opening for Lil Bibby and G Herbo. RSVP here. Absolutely not one to miss.

In 2001, I travelled around Iran, which is a truly fascinating country, inhabited by some of the friendliest people in the world. I went to the more obvious destinations, like Tehran, Isfahan and Shiraz, but I was also lucky enough to visit some of the smaller, less well-known caravan towns on the Silk Road, like Yazd and Na'in.
Na'in is a small town famous for its beautiful, blue and white carpets, which traditionally used indigo and silk brought by the camel trains returning from the Silk Road. In the middle is a two-thousand-year-old Sassanid Citadel, surrounded by a maze of alleyways, little changed since the Middle Ages. The town's tenth century adobe mosque, Masjid-e Jame, is one of the oldest in Iran.
All of the architecture in Na'in is designed to protect people from the baking heat of the desert sun. The traditional houses use wind towers to funnel the breeze through the interior. The rooms are below ground, where it is cooler.
If you like remote, exotic places, which the modern world has passed by, Na'in is for you.
Realistically, I will probably never return there, but back home in England, I have a beautiful Na'in carpet, which will always remind me of the town where it was made, and the people who made it.
The photos show a covered alleyway in the bazaar, a typical Na'in home with its rooms below ground, surmounted by a conical roof and wind towers, the crumbling Narin Ghaleh Citadel, where the inhabitants of Na'in used to flee to escape the invading Mongol hordes and, finally, the tenth century mosque.
Excuse the poor quality of the photos. They are grabbed frames from a tape on my old video camera.

September is National Child Obesity Awareness Month, highlighting a national epidemic that affects one-in-three American children who are overweight or obese.
Since the 1970s, obesity rates among U.S. children have tripled. Millions of young people are now facing increased risk of serious illnesses that were previously seen only in adults, including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, asthma and some types of cancer.
However, recent studies published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) show some modest progress in combating this problem. The CDC reports obesity rates among children holding steady after decades of sharp increases and even decreasing slightly among some preschoolers in 19 states and territories.
"Although this success is limited, it shows we can reverse childhood obesity," said Learning ZoneXpress (LZX) Founder Melanie Nelson. "The solution lies in education and awareness. When people understand the facts and have the right tools, they can take action."
Educators play a critical role in providing information to families, and the materials they share can help promote life-long healthy habits.
With this in mind, LZX offers two engaging educational products focused on combating obesity.
First is the Active Kids MyPlate Poster designed to encourage kids to "get moving." Colorful and inviting, the 24" x 18" laminated poster incorporates a sports theme as well as hero characters to promote both healthy food choices and 60 minutes of daily physical activity.
A second kid-friendly product, the Active Kids MyPlate Handout, features the same theme and messaging presented in a smaller format. Ideal for distributing directly to children and families, the 8 ½" x 11" two-sided handout is available in a pack of 50.

Intensive Practicum
Friday, March 26, 2010
The bitterness of a graduate nurse in Silliman University --- is the 1-month intensive practicum which extends right after graduation to staff a ward. The clinical instructors say it's to further enhance our skills. But to us, it simply nulls the graduation and makes it pointless. Bakit pa pagkatapos ng graduation??? T_T T_T T_T

I absolutely love adding books to our home library and our Kindle digital book collection. But if I'm being very honest, I'll tell you that I often spend WAY TOO MUCH on books. I have a book-buying addiction. Amazon Prime gets me every time!!

Guess what?
This benefits you, because I share the great deals that I find right here on this page. If you're wanting to add to your book collection, check out the books listed below.

Scores of people gathered in Hounslow on 11 November to mark Armistice Day, remembering the boroughs war dead and praying for peace around the world.
Hounslow Mayor, Councillor Nisar Malik was joined by members of the Irish Guards, who moved into the Hounslow Barracks earlier in the year, veterans and the Brentford Army Cadet Force, for the remembrance service led by the Reverend Derek Simpson of St Paul's Parish Church, Brentford. Veterans were joined by youngsters from Wellington Primary school, in Sutton Lane, Hounslow to lay wreaths of poppies.
The Armistice Day service is held annually to remember the eleventh hour of the eleventh month of 1918, when the horrors of the First World War were finally brought to a close. The congregation then observed two minutes' of silence to give people the chance to remember the lives given up in armed conflict over the years, before the Last Post was sounded by a lone trumpeter.
Prior to Remembrance Sunday and Armistice Day, Hounslow Highways carried out additional cleaning of the borough's war memorials. This year, Hounslow Highways also placed over 40 potted white Chrysanthemums at the memorials as a symbol of respect and peace.
Councillor Steve Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council, said: "It was good to see so many people wanting to pay tribute to the men and women who gave up their lives for their country during the two world wars and in the conflicts that have taken place since 1945.
"Armistice Day has grown into an international show of solidarity for the men and women currently serving their country and an appeal for international peace so that these terrible conflicts are not repeated.
"I'm very grateful to all those who were able to join us at the Civic Centre and to others who joined us in two minutes' silence wherever they were around the borough at 11am."

The Birth of Rock and Roll: Photographs from the collection of Jim Linderman
Description: Photographs from the collection of Jim Linderman plus a conversation with Joe Bonomo
Hardcover book with 134 photographs
Size: 160 pages, 12″ x 9.75″ format
Publication Date: April 14, 2015
Availability: In Stock
Jim Linderman has arranged a storyboard of sorts that dramatizes the spirit, if not the chronology, of rock and roll. Poetically, the photos evoke without naming, and have little to do with conventional iconography of the birth of rock and roll. Instead they document, and celebrate, the pure but indefinable essence of rock. Wherever there is an urge to make acoustic or electric music—whether helping at a rent party, busking in front of a crowd, or testifying in the name of Jesus—there's an uncredited photographer there to snap an image. Thankfully Jim Linderman has shared these one-of-a-kind photos from his collection so we can explore one of the most transformative times for American music.
"We have this notion that rock 'n' roll started in Memphis in 1955, and it really didn't. Bob Wills was playing in the '30s and '40s in Oklahoma, and Chuck Berry modeled 'Maybellene' on a Bob Wills song. The roots of rock go back a lot further than we realize. It came from the church, from vaudeville, from the music played in after-hours clubs, from juke joints. Some of it came from Ireland. It's such a conglomeration, and that diversity is the real back story of rock 'n' roll. Without any trouble at all, I was able to include people of all races in this book. I was able to show the melting pot in America, which came together to create this phenomenon. I was especially happy to be able to include so many women performers, because they never got their due. Which is why we don't know who they are now. I love being able to illustrate how broad the music used to be, because now it's so narrow and pigeonholed. It seems we've lost some of the breadth that used to be there." – Jim Linderman speaking to Lisa Hix, Collectors Weekly

The Apollo Bay harbour is an important feature of both Apollo
Bay and the wider Colac Otway Shire community. The working harbour and port is
part of Apollo Bay's identity, generating economic benefits for both the town
and region, while helping draw thousands of tourists to the stunning coastal
hamlet each year.
In 1952 workers redeveloped a pier that stretched out into
the bay, helping set the foundation for what the harbour has become today. Further
improvements, including a $1.6 million upgrade of the old timber marina with a floating
marina pontoon system, has boosted economic opportunities, safety and access
for all users. Today the harbour is home to a local fishing industry and
commercial fleet which employs more than 70 people and boasts 16 boats,
including trawlers, crayfish and charter boats.
The port is enclosed by two large breakwaters. The harbour
contains a main wharf with marina berths, which fishermen and boat users lease
for an annual fee, while a causeway enables boat access.
The area enclosed by the breakwater contains a sandstone
reef. This makes much of the harbour floor shallow and visible at low tide, so
it's common to spot sealife such as fish, stingrays and jellyfish. The public
has access to the wharf and breakwaters extending around the bay, making it
possible for people to get up close to the harbour's sea life. This access also
allows participation in recreational activities such as walking and fishing
(see more information below about things to do in the harbour).
Visitors to Apollo Bay have many options when it comes to
enjoying the port's facilities.
Fishing – It's
rare not to see someone dangling a line off the wharf or breakwater, such is
the popularity of fishing within the harbour. You can fish within designated
areas of the wharf and breakwaters as long as you have a Victorian recreational
fishing license.
Walking and
sightseeing – The harbour is often abuzz with activity, particularly over
the summer months. You can see fishing trawlers returning with their catch,
vessels chartering tourists, and people fishing, swimming or simply enjoying a
walk on the wharf. The view looking back over Apollo Bay with its surrounding
hills in the background is amazing.
Swimming – A
small beach lies within the harbour, protected within the breakwater walls to
make it an ideal spot for families with small children.
Recreational boating
– The harbour has a public boat ramp and landing jetty for boat users to enjoy
time on the bay. Boat licenses are required and Victorian boating rules apply.
Apollo Bay
Fishermen's Co-Operative – You can buy crayfish straight out of Apollo
Bay's waters at the fishermen's co-op, along with a fresh selection of fish,
lobster, crayfish, squid, prawns and scallops available. The co-op also does
great fish and chips overlooking the harbour.
As a working port, the harbour provides an economic value to
Apollo Bay and the Colac Otway Shire region. The harbour's fishing industry alone
generates about $6.5 million a year, making it one of the Shire's larger
primary industry employers.
Tourism generates an economic benefit through the use of
harbour facilities and recreational opportunities. Anglers spend money in the
region to pursue their love of fishing, while boat owners and users pay fees
for mooring their crafts at the marina. Tourists take advantage of charter boat
tours from the harbour to enjoy our region from the ocean, while the fishermen's
co-op has fresh seafood or fish and chips for hungry visitors.
Colac Otway Shire Council manages the port on behalf of
Victoria's Department of Transport. The Council's harbour management team
comprises a team leader and three assistants, all attached to the Council's
infrastructure and services department. Some of the tasks involved in managing
the harbour include:

Department of Mechanical Engineering, Twente University of Technology, Enschede, The Netherlands
The mathematical prediction of muscle and joint force requires a quantitative knowledge of muscle origins and insertions. A model is presented based upon marking the origins and insertions in three cadavers (six limbs). Right-to-left biological variations and/or making errors are sometimes significant, but they rarely result in moment arm calculation variations of greater than 20 percent and usually the variations are less than 10 percent. The muscle origin and insertion differences between small and large cadavers is great, as would be expected, and the use of single specimen or average data will result in large errors in muscle force predictions. A scaling scheme is presented which substantially reduces those errors. The inherent limitations of developing a straight line muscle model include: 1) right-to-left biological variations and/or marking errors; 2) difficulties in establishing "effective" origins or insertions when the locations of the actual origin or insertion do not accurately reflect muscle function; and 3) intersubject variability which cannot be accounted for by simple scaling schemes.

blog tips – top 5 camera apps for blogging
Tue 29th, Jan, 2013
Hello, my name is Sarah and I am a Camera App Aholic.
I always get asked what camera apps I use and so finally I have put together a list of my top camera apps…these are not maybe the most popular apps out there, but are the ones that have helped me a heap…I have been promising this list for a long time and it could have been quite long, but once I sat down to choose my faves and the ones I wouldn't hesitate to recommend anyone reading this blog to spend their pennies on the list was actually quite short and quite sweet, which surprised me immensely because if there is one thing that has not been short and sweet in my life it has been the dabbling with camera apps.
So if there is one person who is well-qualified in camera apps, it's this girl on this here blog – if you find yourself one night in the depths of the App Store and are considering that huge decision of whether or not to waste another 99 cents on yet another camera app even though you would quite happily spend 3 times that on a cup of coffee and not quite think twice about it, I am the girl you can contact for advice, because I will tell you one thing, I can pretty much lay money on it that I will have been in your situation, but rather than talk myself out of the spending of said 99 cents I will have thrown all caution to the wind and will have bought it, only an hour later to be kicking myself and wishing I had tried the free version first.
Recently when I received my new iPhone5 someone else moved over my apps for me…he exclaimed out loud when seeing how many apps I had regarding photography…how many camera apps does a person need he asked…cough cough, in my case that would be a lot…I mean hello sunshine I don't buy designer handbags you know…
Part of the problem with camera apps is that they are either free or dirt cheap, so really it's a no brainer…but on the other hand, it's very interesting also that once you have fiddled around with these babies a bit that you can spot a good app from a not so good one a mile off…which is how I got here to this enviable spot of writing about camera apps in my oh so exciting life…I am a professional camera app spotter nowadays ladies and I am here to help…
Even though I still have a lot of camera apps on my phone, actually what tends to happen is that every now and then I end up deleting un-used, fiddly, irritating apps that don't perform very well and I streamline the whole camera experience down to a few chosen ones for a while until the whole circle or should I say circus starts again…
These are my tried and tested apps and the apps I open when I am wanting to take blog photos but either don't have my other camera with me, or as is more likely these days, I just want the ease and simplicity of blog photos via my phone…in the old days of blogging photos for your blog posts took a camera, a wire and a whole lot of time doing the uploading and all that stuff.. these days a good camera app and a bit of practice can really help you in the blogging game…
I have learnt a few things along the way experimenting with which apps work well for blogging…some apps don't transfers colour well, some perform poorly with resolution and some things that look good on your phone look completely different on a computer screen…
These are my go-to apps not just for blogging but just for taking better photos with my phone…
1. Snapseed
It seems like everyone loves Snapseed! I thought when I first started to see it crop up here, there and everywhere I wouldn't bother to try it…then I was about 3/4 of the way through my camera app purchasing journey and really did consider whether or not I needed another one… yeah yeah just another camera app…but I threw all caution to the wind, stumped up my hard-earned five bucks (it's free now so don't hesitate to download it) and wowzas it's good…it's a powerful little app with lots of filters and features…you can do lots with this app though it does take a bit of getting used to
This is beautifully simple which is why I include it here…it doesn't win any awards for me for being all singing and dancing and having all the the gadgets and gizmos you might find on a big girl camera, like some apps do… but it doesn't claim to have all that, which is quite why I like it. I find myself using it more and more as I have got used to how it performs and works…snap the pic, hit one of the filters (the filters are good as they don't completely alter the pics, especially if you have a lot of photos with white, ahem, like I do), do a bit of tweaking and bob is your uncle…it claims to have elegant and minimal filters with a sleek interface, I totally agree….great for when you want to improve a photo a bit but don't want to faff around…it's quick to use and easy to share straight to Instagram or to Facebook…a lof of my pics on Instagram (find me here) are via this app
3. PicFrame
There are lots of framing apps out there, ask me how I know, I have most of them…I have been using PicFrame for ages and though I have flirted with others outrageously, I keep coming back to this one…mainly because it's simple and easy to flick through and find the frame/montage you want without weird and wacky shapes in there or without so many different options that you end up sitting there for half an hour deliberating which photo would look good in what montage…this is simple, quick, fuss free and does what it says on the can…my kind of photo app….
4. Photo Transfer App
This doesn't do anything to your photos to make them any better but it's a great little way to transfer pics from your phone to your computer (or vice versa) without any hassle – I use this a lot if I am wanting to blog my phone pics….I have also used this a few times (though not often) to transfer big girl camera pics from my computer to my phone…it's also really handy when transferring pics between phones…a great little app that hasn't let me down and I've used it from all sorts of places…
5. ProHDR
This is my very favourite recent app…I got this recommendation from one of my favourite bloggers, went straight to the app store and downloaded it and have been in love with it ever since, it's done wonders for my photos! It costs a couple of dollars and has been one of the best apps I have bought so far…It takes a bit of getting used to and I would say it is not for you if you are a little on the impatient side, plus the filters are very mediocre …but if you want HDR in your hand, this rocks.
If you are into improving your camera pics either for you blogging for for your own personal photos any of these apps will help you out…I hope you like them…
Do you have any camera apps that you love? If so I'd quite like to try them out, I mean I need a few more things to do in the day

You know I love my iphone apps and instagram too. :)
My latest fave is InstaWeather – love that it adds the location and weather forecast to your pic – you know our obsession here with the weather! Would love to see some of the temps and forecasts you get Down Under.
I tend to use DipTic for my collage pics
I probably have all the apps you have (and I don't use most of them either) and more!!! I use Snapseed to straigeten pics, but not to it's full potential.
Which app do you use as your camera?
I have started a weekly feature on my blog – iphone Friday – feel free to link up!
In about 6 weeks I am teaching (!) a workshop in our local arts centre on mobile phone photography – how crazy is that!!!
I hadn't heard of instaweather, is there nothing they haven't thought of!!!??
I generally just snap with the iphone camera and then load to the app I want to use..I just find it quicker and easier to do it this way…
wow teaching a workshop! kudos xxx
Thanks :) I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks Sarah…I am quite new to the whole camera apps world but now itching to jump in and purchase!!.hmmm which one first??!? xx ps…for goodness sakes don't spill any berries on the gorgeous bed linen!!! x
haha Janelle enjoy! x
I did a blog post on this a few weeks back.. Just on camera apps and it is A LOT of them, and not all of the ones i had on my phone / iPad.
ps. i ended up getting the samsung galaxy camera, so i am now in the process of filling that app with the android equivalent of apps.
thanks I will check it out x
I always value your camera tips so I'll be checking out these recommendations. Thanks so much, Sarah.
no worries :-)
Oh, love this and fear have same addiction as you! My faves are Camera+ (always take my images with this), Snapseed (always edit with this). Others I play around with (depending on the photo) include, PicFx, Lumie, Afterglow and moreBeaute2.
ooh I haven't heard of Beaute2…looking that up now!
Yep Nikki, im with you I love Camera+ too :)
I love camera apps! Can't wait to check these out.
Thanks for sharing Sarah! x
I love Vintique, Afterglow and DeluxeFX.
Gotta say I love the google plus app, I instant upload all my photos and the post (to myself!) and then use them for my blogger blog- So quick compared to uploading one by one. the eye fi app- goes hand in hand with the eyefi card, an unbelievably wonderful tool. also iphoto and ps express- great for fixing exposure and having level horizons. I have another one , but all the writing is in chinese it is on a red background in a white circle with white chinese writing- If you just search Xiamen It comes up first- Meitu tech is the rest of the developers name. It has fabulous filters like little feint love hearts and pretty bokeh dots, but is a bit of guesswork- however it is free. I can guarantee you will love it
I love VSCO and Camera + and Retro Cam. I'm also a big fan of Afterglow – it links to Instagram, Facebook and Twitter the same way VSCO does.
Thanks for sharing this! I've had Snapseed, but hadn't played with it yet – you've inspired me to start using it again! Thanks! :)
PicFx is fun for lots of effects, including some nice bokeh.
SimpleResize is nice for resizing an image when sending it via iMessage or text.
Another one I use for editing is Tada.
thanks, I hadn't heard of Tada, will have a look x
Have you tried the photoshop app? In the rested to know what you think. I'm a little guilty with my photo app collection too so at least your are not alone.
Yeah I did have it on my old phone but didn't' really get on with it…not that it wasn't good :-)
Check out PhotoToaster also, one of the best I've found!
thanks I will check it out Ant :0)
Yeah do, is well worth the $1.99. It tops all the others!
totally unrelated, but where is that pretty polka dot bedding from? :)

The Future of IT Jobs: Critical Skills and Obsolescent Roles
- Originally Published:
- Aug 2014
IT professionals work in a field which is inherently susceptible to change. While bedrock concepts such as software development, administration of networks or operating systems and security requirements have been in place for decades, infrastructural evolution is a factor that has grown more prevalent in recent years. In the 1990's many system administrators got Novell CNE (Certified Novell Engineer) or Microsoft MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) certifications and then dwelt fairly predictably within those realms. Now, however, mobile and cloud computing, the rise of big data and the importance of business continuity/disaster recovery have made today's tech landscape a very different place from the almost quaint era of desktop client/server management and exclusively in-house systems.
This evolution had a significant impact upon information technology employment and the available career options therein. Many types of jobs can now be performed remotely (or overseas, provoking more global competition), physical systems are being replaced by virtualized editions and entire data centers are moving up to the cloud, endangering certain traditional roles – while also laying the groundwork for new opportunities.
It's been said for years now that IT workers would benefit from stronger business knowledge in order to remain competitive. This factor is undoubtedly important as occupational lines are blurring – the system administrator parked in the server room fixing problems while avoiding human contact is being replaced by the technology and communications expert well-versed in training and project management, offering face-to-face solutions geared towards meeting company needs rather than establishing them.
However, it's important to keep in mind that while business skills come in handy to establish relevance and prove one's value, focusing on the right technologies is an even bigger part of the picture – it represents the foundation of the trade. Business skills are only useful when they are wedded to meaningful technology to capitalize upon them. Knowing which trends will take off, gain momentum and become common can future proof an IT career and ensure you stay on top of the game - and stay in demand.
This Tech Pro Research report, The Future of IT Jobs: Critical Skills and Obsolescent Roles, surveyed 1,156 global respondents and focuses on the answers to the following questions:
- How are IT professionals responding to the current technology landscape?
- How are they managing their careers?
- What have they been working on?
- Where should they branch out to stay competitive?
- Where and why are they are expanding their technical and non-technical skill sets?
- How are they learning and who is arranging that?
- How are the new skill sets translating into hands-on work, and what percentage of their time is being allocated to these new areas?
- What level of demand are they seeing for their skills sets at the organizations? What about in the overall job market?
- What are recruiters and employers looking for in an IT professional?
- What they expect to see down the road both personally and within their industries?
- How are they planning to stay in IT, or are they moving (or being driven) into other fields or companies?

Today thousands of Iraqis marched in Baghdad to support democracy and oppose terrorism. Healing Iraq has the story, with a lot of photos:
"The rallies today proved to be a major success. I didn't expect anything even close to this. It was probably the largest demonstration in Baghdad for months. It wasn't just against terrorism. It was against Arab media, against the interference of neighbouring countries, against dictatorships, against Wahhabism, against oppression, and of course against the Ba'ath and Saddam."
The photo below shows some of the marchers; there are many more at Healing Iraq.

Gruff Rhys
Sunday 1st December
Live At St. Luke's
Tickets €23 + €1.99 booking fee
Doors 7:30pm | Show 8pm
"I'd made a note of the name after driving past a sign when I was on tour in 2014. Cut to a few years later and the studio where I recorded the album was being knocked down just a week after I finished to make way for a 'luxury' apartment development. I was looking for a name that evoked the Tower of Babel - people building towers to reach an idea of heaven (but maybe creating a kind of hell - I'm an atheist by the way!) In any case I had written Babelsberg down and when I listened to the songs together, it finally made sense why I'd done that."
Babelsberg is the fifth album by Gruff Rhys, his first record for Rough Trade since 2007's classic Candylion.
The album's ten tracks were initially recorded in early 2016 in a whirlwind three day session that took place before producer Ali Chant's studio was demolished. The band he gathered for the record were his regular drummer Kliph Scurlock (ex-Flaming Lips) and multi-instrumentalists Stephen Black (Sweet Baboo) and Osian Gwynedd. The ten tracks then hibernated for eighteen months, awaiting orchestral scores by Swansea based composer Stephen McNeff and the incredible work of the 72 piece BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
The result is Gruff's best record to date - a ten song gazetteer of modern times, each track set to timeless, indelible melody. Amazingly, for a collection of songs written over two years ago, each one seems to pull very sharp focus on the times we're living in.
Over the course of Babelsberg's forty something minutes, Gruff manages to perfectly document our troubled and troubling times with humour, grace and always addictive melody. In a career that's spanned three decades, two languages, multiple bands, offshoots, collaborations and one boundless imagination, Babelsberg is arguably Gruff's finest set of songs to date. And we're willing to have that argument.

If you are afraid to go to the dentist, relax! Sedation dentistry and a trained sedation dentist can change your life for the better with a light sedative!
You can have the beautiful smile and the good dental health you've always wanted with sedation dentistry. Ask your dentist about more benefits of conscious sedation.
Imagine being able to smile with confidence and chew your food without pain. A sedation dentist and conscious sedation dentistry makes it possible to be totally relaxed during your dental treatment.
You won't feel any discomfort and likely won't remember the treatment itself. Because you'll be completely comfortable, your sedation dentist can do many dental care procedures during the same visit, including:
Best of all, you'll probably only need one or two appointments with a dentist using sedation dentistry. So in hours you can start enjoying the confidence that comes with a bright new smile and good dental health.
Plus sedation dentistry is safe. Before your sedation dentist begins work, he or she will thoroughly review your medical history, and then monitor you closely during your conscious sedation dental treatment.
Most people are well aware of the value of dental care, but cannot bring themselves to get into their dentist's office and climb into the chair. The reason: fear.
Dental anxiety, unfortunately, is sometimes a shared family experience. Whether it's just a bout of sweaty palms or acute anxiety, the fears and attitudes of parents can easily be passed along to children unintentionally. Perhaps you grew up without the technical advantages available today. Your unpleasant memories can be fierce enough to interfere with family dental education - and health.
Parents can begin to allay phobias - and keep from spreading them around - by examining the source of apprehension. Dental phobia generally hinges on fear of pain, choking, or loss of control. The dental environment might feel overwhelming. Invasion of personal privacy - the mouth - can be frightening. When you schedule an appointment, how do you feel about it? Do you find yourself cancelling appointments at the last minute? Do certain pieces of equipment make you uneasy? A little soul-searching can help pinpoint your fears.
You need to speak frankly with your dentist. Chances are, he'll understand. He'll take time with you to describe new techniques - and there are many - to overcome fear. His dental staff will take special care to respect your feelings and dispel any misgivings.
With some effort, nearly everyone can learn to overcome dental anxiety and relax. The direct benefits - you'll feel more comfortable when you visit, and, if you or your family have been avoiding the dentist altogether, your dental health will begin to improve. Indirectly, you'll offer a positive role model for your family. Take this step for yourself, and the family will follow. Call your dentist today to find out how he can help.

Who would have thought crepe paper could be so pretty?
I've been admiring all of the Bible art journaling I've been seeing on-line and have been wanting to try it. I felt very intimidated by it, maybe because of the full-sized pages, I don't know. So when I spotted little New Testaments at the Dollar Store, I was excited about using one. I totally love what I did, although it's quite busy. I learned a lot and can't wait to do another page.

Happy Friday!
Today is a new challenge on the YNS Blog and it is a super FUN sketch and the color inspiration screams Spring!
For my card, I am using the new Fitness Planner set. I thought it would be a fun set to make an inspirational card for that work out friend who may need a little lift to keep going.
Using the Cute Alpha Squares die, I used three of the squares to stamp with different images before popping them up over the patterned paper from EP. The sentiments were then stamped directly onto the base and finished with some fun gumdrops.
Be sure to stop by the YNS Blog to see all the wonderful creations some of the DT members have made. Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you have a great weekend!

He put an engagement ring on your finger, but would you put one on his? Surprisingly, people are buzzing about "mangagement" rings these days—the concept of engagement rings for men.
See more: The Secret to Making Your Marriage Go the Distance Is...
More than one star has embraced the idea: Michael Buble was spotted wearing his ring months before his wedding to his Argentinian fiancée, and reportedly told a Canadian audience this about the custom: "The boy also wears the engagement ring. That's what she tells me anyway." And, when actress and singer Jennifer Hudson's boyfriend proposed to her, she responded with a five-carat Neil Lane diamond ring for him to wear, too.
Those (adorable!) guys might be in the minority, but a survey of engaged couples conducted last year by Robbins Brothers, a national jewelry chain, revealed some surprising thoughts on wedding traditions: More than half of the male respondents (67 percent, to be exact) said they'd definitely be "open" to wearing an engagement ring.
See more: Why for Happy Couples (Like You!) a Big Fight Is No Big Deal
It's already a cultural practice in some countries. Kevin, a married man in South Orange, NJ, shares, "My wife is Swedish, and in Sweden it's tradition for the man to wear an engagement ring. So when we got engaged, I wanted to wear one, too. It wasn't like a big diamond or anything, it was my wedding band—I just put it on early. I thought it was a nice nod to her culture, and she very much appreciated that I was willing to do it."
What do you think about men's engagement rings: Would you buy one for your man—and would he wear it?

Take half of a large piece of construction paper and fold it in half. Cut 1 1/2 inch pieces all the way across the top layer. Write the math sentence on the top and the answers underneath. Have each student make their own to help them study double facts.
The students start to get very excited when they notice the pattern of counting by 2's.
When the students are finished making the flip charts pair them up and have them quiz each other on their double facts. We switched partners (within 5 seconds) twice for extra practice. They thought that was fun.
We also made these flip charts and then used paint to show the double.

"Is YOGURT the secret to easing hay fever? Probiotics can relieve sneezing and itchy eyes," a new study suggests. The study, which was conducted by researchers from the University School of Medicine in Nashville, focused on 23 trials which were investigating the effect that probiotic supplements tend to have on hay fever.
According to several records, Hay fever has affected almost one in five people and it usually causes running nose, itchy eyes as well as frequent sneezing. Hay fever usually happens in an event that allergic irritant sets off a response by one's immune system in the mucosa of the nasal passages which, as a result ends up causing an allergic reaction. While many of the studies revealed that there are some benefits for at least a particular outcome, other studies revealed that there was no benefit at all.
The researchers of the study concluded that as much as probiotics tend to have some benefits when it is added to other treatments of hay fever, there is still need for a higher-quality study to be conducted so as measure the exact effects which are brought about by probiotics. For the study, the researchers were extra cautious about the results that they will be releasing. According to the researchers the differences between the studies, for instance different sizes in the study's population as well as the difference, meant that it was possible that probiotic's positive effects on one's life quality they found "may be at least partially due to confounding factors and differences between studies".

The gorgeous Hebridean Sheep from Colt Cottage have finally moved in to our field. We have seven ewe lambs at present with another eight still to come. They are totally gorgeous and seem to have found a nice sheltered spot close to the burn and near the road that passes the house. Here's a closer look. They are gorgeous lambs with thick black wool and beautiful curled horns. They are also incredibly hardy, barely acknowledging the weekend's storms. Hopefully they will help batter down the bracken in the field and won't mind us coming and going with the kids and the strimmer!
So, we've started to see some progress this week. Our lovely plumber came on Monday and Tuesday, partly in preparation for the shower room he's fitting next month and partly to rid us of the dangerous old lead pipes. He's also been talking to Dad about the electrical side of the bathroom fitting and they've worked some things out. He also pointed out that most of the stuff I'd ordered for the shower room was too big (whoops) but it's all been sorted out with a phone call and the sink we bought can be used when we fix the main bathroom upstairs. Dad has also finished off the electrics so we now have more plug sockets than you can shake a stick at and he's disconnected the old heaters. Next step will be getting the stoves put in for heating.
We've also started to prepare the ground for our veg patch and this weekend we will see the first livestock on our land. Not ours, I hasten to add, but the lovely Hebridean sheep belonging to Jo and Phil who live down the road in Colt Cottage. Hopefully they'll help to keep on top of our grass in the field and provide some entertainment for Arthur who will not accept their sheep or not in fact the goats he's been dreaming of. Jo is planning to move them in in a few days.
I would have illustrated this post with a photo of the giant cauliflower Janet dropped off today but I chopped it up for cauliflower cheese before I had chance. It was yummy!

eBay to Prohibit Auctions of Ivory Items
In an effort to protect elephants, and reduce the illegal traffic of ivory in and out of the originating countries, eBay will completely prohibit auctions that showcase products containing large amounts of ivory.
The new policy will take effect in December 2008 and will be enforced starting in January 2009.
eBay to Force PayPal Payments Only?
Starting in October of 2008 (yes in just a few days), eBay will remove many payment options for most items sold on their auction website leaving only PayPal, ProPay and paying upon pickup.
Is this unfair business practice (or anti-trust)?
eBay says: "It's for security and consistency"
