A Survey Of Buddhism, published by Windhorse Publishing, will turn 50 in 2007. I've begun my second reading of it.
If I were on a desert island, and could only take one secondary material book, I would take Survey of Buddhism. I think if I had 5 books, I would take the Middle Length Discourses, The Dhammapada, A Survey of Buddhism for sure. The other two would be difficult to choose, I'd like to take a Mahayana sutras, maybe the Bodhicaryavatara, and Ten Thousand Songs of Milarepa.
Through meditation, I've decided to quit coffee tomorrow. I've weaned myself down to 1 cup in the morning. With the use of wikihow, I looked up how to quit caffeine, and I've read that and girded myself for tomorrow.
Why we don't help and what we can do about it - My family and I have just returned from a very rich and varied week in New York, where we did all the usual tourist things, including a visit to the 9/11...

Along with her well-deserved Best Supporting Actress Oscar, Lupita Nyong'o should win also the award for best look at the 86th edition of the Oscars held on March 2nd. That stunning pastel blue, pleated Prada gown, with a plunging V décolletage, complemented by gold jewelry and a diamond tiara, made Lupita the belle of the ball. Daring V neck was quite a trend at the Oscars 2014, several actresses sporting satiny bias-cut gowns reminiscent of Golden Age glamour.
Oscar 2014 red carpet style: plunging V-neck gowns
Golden Globes 2011 brought pleasant surprises both awards and fashion wise. Pink is a favorite color for the upcoming season and that was seen on the red carpet. Reddish hue "honeysuckle" seen on Lanvin gown worn by actress Julianne Moore is already nominated as it-color of the season; also lighter pink shades such as pale salmon, coral and ethereal "silver-peony" are also very fashionable.
The summer of 2010 was a showcase of retro looks and saw the return of minimal chic and feminine elegance.
Faded, bleached denim was one of the biggest trends this summer and not only in the practical form of denim shorts but also jackets, shirts and dresses. Looks so fresh when paired with romantic ruffles and simple hairstyle.
We've seen quite a lot of spectacular fire red dresses on the red carpet in these summer months. Certainly the red color has always been present at glamorous event but how is that it's so classy and fashionable all at once?
Oscar 2010 red-carpet parade gives a lead for the spring season event dressing. The newest neutrals: nude shades (soft hues of pink and beige) will show everywhere in formal/cocktail/party occasions.
Versatile silver gray or warm shades of taupe make transition from sporty casual to indisputable elegance. Dazzling looks are still a strong option for party wear; the iconic LBD makes way for the impeccable little white dress while lace brings a retro romantic vibe.

Awards shows that take place at the year's debut are the best preview of the upcoming spring season's top trends. Golden Globes is my favorite award event (next to the Oscars, of course) and this year it was such a visual treat. Amazing, unique looks compensated for those several disappointing winning results (for me, anyway). So here are my favorite looks:
You'd think that in this darker times fashion would be as stark as our new (forced) lifestyles but the red-carpet season just began and already stated an optimistic tone. Come to think of it depression times have been also eras of glamour in terms of fashion statements.
Film awards events including Critics Choice, Golden Globes and SAG were a fashion delight; more colorful than ever, the red carpet was a spring celebration.
Europe's disco diva Roisin Murphy might not be a huge pop star (in fact I love she is not in the mainstream) but she is an untiringly muse for couturiers and an undoubtedly style icon.
Her fashion sense matches the eclectic music she's known for, a cutting-edge electronic, pop and dance mix, with references going from her idol Grace Jones to David Bowie circa Ziggy Stardust era.
Want to see what runway trends translated well into street fashion? First is the modern-boho look, well actually one aspect of this look: the fur gilet, which is now everywhere. But there are also other boho details like ethnic or flower prints, folksy knits, fringes, cross-body bags and flare denim jeans.
As opposed to last years mini length this summer maxi dress was on everyone's mind, both loved and hated. First maxi dresses appeared in major spring/summer 2008 collections and then they were seen on all "it" girls of the moment. While a one-color dress looks too occasion wear or beachwear (if it's jersey), a printed maxi-dress is the easiest way to an elegant look for daywear. Romantic, flowing, printed long-dresses seems to be this summer's hit and not only.
1st row: Biba, D&G, Stella McCartney, Etro and Matthew Williamson.
2nd row: Ralph Lauren, Roberto Cavalli, Collette Dinnigan and Diane von Furstenberg.
Inspired by the 60s and the 70s fashions, boho style (bohemian) has returned and looks more chic than ever. Boho-chic style keeps main hippie features: ethnic influences, DIY looks (tie-dye and patchwork), raw fabrics and materials (canvas, straw, wood) mixing them with heirloom pieces like lace dresses, embroidered linen blouses and crochet shawls, vintage men's hats, shoes and belts but also with glam and modern accessories like the latest "it" bag or the ultimate pair of shoes, metallic sparkles or fancy jewelry.
D&G, Donna Karan,Topshop Unique and Veronique Branquinho
Flapper style is one of my favorite moments in fashion so I'm glad that this season designers paid more attention to it. I was particularly inspired by the modern-flapper look Rodarte showed on its spring 2008 collection: I love the floppy hat and the sheer, loose clothes. Gladiator heels and fingerless gloves bring the needed modern vibe.
Rodarte spring 2008
I have to say this: I just love to see how people pull together great outfits for ordinary days. That is why I constantly looking into street style blogs. Regarding fashion trends, the street takes on some and recycles others in countless creative ways.
Who said leggings went out of fashion? Well here they are, graphic print leggings along with knee socks are making the transition between seasons in a playful puckish style.
leggings and knee socks
I think that a real must have for this spring, before any other "imperatives" fashion editors will tout about, is a good raincoat. But utility doesn't have to mean unfashionable, just take a look at this cute and very stylish laminated linen trench. It has been raining for a week now and I've decided to face the gloomy weather with cheerful details such as floral prints and pops of bright pink. I love the combination between grey or nude shades and bright hues of pink, yellow and orange. Oh, and the clear bubble umbrella is just adorable, don't you think?
For every girl out there who can still enjoy weekends and doesn't have to work her ass off (gosh, no! I'm not talking about me) I put together a cute outfit for a sunny, chilly, early spring free day. You might need an overcoat, though.
I wish you all fashionistas out there a Happy International Women's Day and here is my idea for a perfect 8 March outfit: sweet, feminine but also very modern thanks to masculine accents such as a loose silver blazer and a wide watch cuff.
International Women's Day Outfit
After a short look at this month's red carpet events before the Oscars I can say that glamour has exceeded Hollywood's boundaries.
Keira Knightley (Valentino), Marion Cotillard (Chanel), Emily Blunt (Marc Bouwer) and Kate Hudson (Dior).

Historical records matching Arthur Israel Korn
Immediate Family
About Arthur Israel Korn
Arthur Korn (May 20, 1870, Breslau, Germany – December 21/December 22, 1945, Jersey City, New Jersey) was a German-born physicist, mathematician and inventor. He was involved in the development of the fax machine, specifically the transmission of photographs or telephotography, known as the Bildetelegraph, related to early attempts at developing a practical mechanical television system.
Korn was the son of Jewish Moritz and Malwine Schottlaender. He attended gymnasia in Breslau and Berlin. He then studied physics and mathematics in Leipzig at the age of 15, from where he graduated in 1890. Afterwards he studied in Berlin, Paris, London and Würzburg. In 1895 he became a lecturer in law at the University of Munich, and was appointed professor in 1903. In 1914 he accepted the chair of physics at the Berlin Institute of Technology.
Dr. Korn, being of Jewish descent, was dismissed from his post in 1935 with the rise of the Nazi Party. In 1939 he left Germany with his family and moved to the United States, entering via Mexico. There, he took the chair in physics and mathematics at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey. He died in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1945.
Telecommunication pioneer
Korn experimented and wrote on long-distance photography, the phototelautograph. He pioneered the use of light sensitive selenium cells which took over from the function of the stylus, and used a Nernst lamp as a light source. On the 18th October, 1906, he managed to transmit a photograph of Crown Prince William over a distance of 1800 km.
At a 1913 conference in Vienna, Korn demonstrated the first successful visual telegraphic transmission of a cinematic recording. Under heavy media attention in 1923, he successfully transmitted an image of Pope Pius XI across the Atlantic Ocean, from Rome to Bar Harbor, Maine, the picture being hailed as a "miracle of modern science". From 1928 onwards, the German police used Korn's system to send photographs and fingerprints, though the use of the "phototelegraph" in apprehending a thief from a Stuttgart bank in London was recorded in 1907, as well as the use of the technology by the media, with the French paper l'Illustration contracting for a French monopoly that lasted until 1909.
He also worked on potential theory and the mathematics of physics.

Canadian concrete companies running deceptive ad campaign against wood construction
Wood construction is gaining in popularity around the world. New technologies have made it possible to build higher and stronger. Sustainably harvested wood stores carbon dioxide, while reforestation absorbs yet more CO2. That's why the new wave of wood construction is so exciting, and why so many jurisdictions are looking at changing the building codes to promote the use of wood and allow taller wood buildings. Particularly in North America, where the forests are under attack by the pine beetle and will just rot if not cut and used, building with wood makes more sense than ever.
The manufacture of concrete, on the other hand, is responsible for almost 5% of the world's annual CO2 production. The aggregate that is mixed with cement to make concrete is another problem. Any switch from concrete to wood construction is going to be good for the climate. Who it is not good for is the people who make and build with concrete, like the Canadian Concrete Masonry Producers Association. . They have turned themselves into environmentalists, with headlines like If current deforestation rates continue, critical habitats could disappear within the next hundred years. Their full-page ads and press releases tug at the heartstrings and drop names of prestigious organizations:
While leading environmental organizations from National Geographic to Forest Ethics are warning of the threats of deforestation and clear- cutting, governments in Canada are implementing policies mandating the use of wood. In provinces such as B.C., Nova Scotia and Ontario, members of the building industry have proposed "Wood First" legislation requiring the use of wood in certain building construction.
They are asking readers of the papers to contact their members of Parliament to stop this terrible thing, goaded on by photos of clearcuts and poor homeless animals in the foreground.
The photo is a Shutterstock stock photo and they have photoshopped the animal into the foreground; They can't even be honest about their imagery.
These are not environmentalists supporting the work of ForestEthics, they are co-opting their name and the environmental movement as a whole to try and subvert a move to a greener way of building with a renewable resource that can and is being sustainably harvested. Instead, the CCMPA misquotes ForestEthics (try and find the stats on the ForestEthics page that are linked to with the **, I couldn't)
Properly designed, wood construction is safe, soundproof and durable. It's far, far better for the environment, particularly right now when there is so much to be harvested before it rots. The whole campaign is as deceptive as the photoshopped stock photo.
I have contacted ForestEthics to get their opinion about this campaign, and will update post when I receive it.

Mortgage Pre-Approval Application
When purchasing a property; buyers will either pay cash or finance the property (evaluating a variety of financing alternatives)
when buying with cash (at the time of negotiating the contract), a seller may require a proof of funds
when financing a property (at the time of negotiating the contract), a seller will ask for a pre-approval letter from a local reputable lender.
In order to be in the best negotiating position, we recommend a prospective buyer have a pre-approval prior to starting the process of purchasing a home. In addition, it is critical that a buyer have a comfort level with the amount of future payments, including principal, interest, taxes and insurance. As such, speaking to a lender prior to starting the process is very important. A buyer will get an idea of what the monthly mortgage payments will be and what interest rates are on the type of loan you want. You will also have different options on how much of a down payment you would like to put down. Contact our trusted advisor, John Sprengnether, to start the pre-approval process today!

What exactly is Brazilian Waxing?
An affordable way of removing hair from the private areas in the front (pubic area) and back (anus). This has become a lifestyle choice for many as it offers benefits such as smoother skin, hygiene during menstruation etc.
Where can waxing be performed on?
Any where with unwanted hair, underarms, brazilian and legs are always in demand.
How often do I need a session?
Every 4 weeks. Unlike shaving, you won't see stubble regrowth the next day.
Is it painful?
You will feel it on your first visit, we can't lie. It gets easier with repeated visits and clients have been known to fall asleep. Staying fuzz free in your intimate areas is a life enhancing choice.
Wax, don't shave.
Shaving irritates the skin, leaving it sore, red and sensitive and you need to shave daily. You only need to wax once a month and regrowth takes 4 weeks and gets finer over time.
Friends do not let their friends shave.
Bring a friend, life is better when you share the good stuff.

A to Z Blogging Challenge
Today, U stands for UP, as in Legs Up the Wall Pose. It's a restorative yoga pose that feels SO good. It's great for your back. It's great for achy legs and feet. Great if you suffer from
varicose veins. It's super simple, too. Anyone can do it.
Find a bare wall. Lie on the floor with your hips scooted right up to the place where the floor meets the wall. Your legs rest on the wall in front of you. Now, if your hamstrings are really tight, you might need to scoot your hips back away from the wall a bit to be more comfortable.
Once you're in position, just relax, breathe and enjoy! Spend at least five minutes a day in Legs Up the Wall Pose.

Tickle Me Pink
by: Kathryn Gemmell
During one of my many adventures down the rabbit how that is Pinterest, pinning, liking and commenting on so many interesting things I ran across a fabulous design and decided to give it a try, with my own twist, of course!
The chain is 3 inches long per earring, and is connected using the smallest ring available on the chain. No glue is required for the feathers or the ultrasuede leaves. I used crimps, however, please feel free to add a drop of glue to ensure security.
Each leaf is cut on it's own and ironed on the highest setting to create the crease. The leaves are about 11 cm long.
These earrings are made with sterling silver components, but feel free to substitute it with any other metal as you prefer.

Micro pub, big passion
We're small but we have a big heart and passion in plenty. We love real ale, cider and fine wine and as all these things are for sharing with like-minded people what better way to do that than to open a pub? We also stock vegan and gluten-free beers. We are dog friendly too so don't feel that you have to leave them behind!
Proper job ciders
He Looked and smelt like Autumn's very brother, his face being sunburnt to wheat-colour, his eyes blue as corn-flowers, his sleeves and leggings dyed with fruit-stains, his hands clammy with the sweet juice of apples, his hat sprinkled with pips, and everywhere about him the sweet atmosphere of cider which at its first return each season has such an indescribable fascination for those who have been born and bred among the orchards.

Quick question. i have seen MANY posts on here about putting pudding mix in cake mixes to make them "thicker", I suppose it is?
What does it actually do and is it just the "instant", and not the "cook and serve" jello pudding mix? Do you just mix it in to your dry mix? I use boxes mixes as baking is not my speciality.
Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
I've seen those suggestions of "add pudding and an extra egg". I tried it. Used the instant pudding. Sent it in with hubby to my official taste testers. ALL of them sent word back "Do NOT to that to your cakes again!" They absolutely hated it. Said, "This is not a Debi cake. This is awful."
Many on here swear by it but my testers (who represent my clients) gave it zero stars.
Be sure to test it on family/friends first.
I've tried this one which is pretty dense and moist.. add extra egg, 1 cup water, 1 box instant pudding, double the oil. I've never had any bad reviews on this one! =)
I add pudding mixes to all of my cakes and everyone loves it! I use the instant pudding mix and it makes it moist and also thickens the batter! I am one of them that swear by it lol!!! Everyone has there own though and this is one of mine!
I also add pudding to my cake mix, but i don't use an extra egg or oil. I follow the box mix instructions for egg and oil amounts, add 2 tbls of instant pudding, then I add half water/half whole milk for the liquid amount. I also add 1 tsp of either vanilla, lemon or almond extract depending on the cake flavor.
It makes a denser cake that is delicious!
Does anyone know the difference between using the instant pudding vs. the cook and serve?
I add the instant pudding to my cakes but I have to check to make sure i get the 32/40g packages not the 113g packages. MAde that mistake once - blech!
I added pudding plus and extra egge and ended up with something like cake clay. Inedible. Rats! I'll try your recipe next, Melchas
Sorry to hijack, but now I have a question about this...
What brand of cake mix do you use when adding the pudding?
I know BC has pudding in the mix, but do you still add pudding to it as well, or is pudding added only for DH or other brands??
I use Betty Crocker because I prefer it, but Duncan Hines works as well. And yes both have pudding in the mix already, but I add 2 tblsp per box and use 1/2 whole milk 1/2 water for the wet ingrident. I also mix mine on high for 8 mins, then on low for 3. I also "slightly under bake". If crumbs come out on the toothpick it is done..it will continue to bake as it cools.
I too, have been adding 1 small box of instant pudding to my box cake mixes (Im not good with scratch yet!) and I have not gotten any complaints. I think it definitely thickens the batter and adds more flavor to the cakes. I love what the french vanilla or vanilla does for flavoring a yellow, white or already vanilla box. I do only use BC as I haven't had any luck with Pills or DH.
I use either BC or DH, add a box of pudding (either instant or cook/serve), 3/4 cup each of oil and water, 4 eggs, and 2 tsp of a complementary extract. Beat on medium 6 minutes. This makes a cake that has the consistency of a pound cake, and my customers love it, never had a complaint about taste. It's good to use for a stand-up pan or for cakes that are going to be carved.
thank you!!
I make scratch and from mix, so thanks for sharing the tips!
Melchas, 1 last question- Beating it for that long, doesn't that give if lots of air bubbles? I usually only beat it for 2minutes.
But I will try your way this week coming up(lot's of cake orders)
Quick question. i have seen MANY posts on here about putting pudding mix in cake mixes to make them "thicker", I suppose it is?
What does it actually do and is it just the "instant", and not the "cook and serve" jello pudding mix? Do you just mix it in to your dry mix? I use boxes mixes as baking is not my speciality.
Any advice will be GREATLY appreciated!!!!
This is the recipe I use and love! It has the pudding mix (1 small pkg instant) in it but also has 1 cup of sour cream.
Does anyone know if there is a difference when using the instant vs. the cook & serve?
Thanks : )
I was told by an instructor that for cake baking purposes, you can use either.
The cook and serve is more expensive here, so I have always used the instant variety..........plus the cook and serve only comes in about 5 flavors here, and the instant comes in like 30 flavors!
I usually just add 1 c. sour cream per box to my cakes. depending on the cake mix I will add 1 tsp extract in with the liquid. This makes a REALLY moist cake. I love it its so good. But it dosn't rise like a regular cake so its more dence, but the nice part is I almost never have to levael my cakes they came out almost square every time. ( I have only had one cake fall in at all...not sure what happend with that one,but the rest have been great.)
I would advise not adding both sour cream and pudding to a cake mix...It makes it REALLY moist and dence...almost to the point of a underdone cake. Eh...some people liked it, some didn't...so...

|17th Century routes through the towns and forests
of England, hunting horns denote forests
This being a success, to assist in the repair of roads, after 1663 groups of wealthy landowners were given permission by Parliament to build or improve a stretch of road and then charge tolls to get their money back, thereby allowing them to make a profit. These were called Turnpike Trusts. At first these toll roads were short and acted as short cuts, often bypassing a village and thus reducing its trade.
|18thC print of Hyde Park Turnpike Gate
A turnpike gate was a large gate which revolved on a spike and after the individual had paid his penny to use the turnpike the gate would revolve allowing access to the newly created turnpike road. Typical charges in the 17th Century were one penny for a horse and sixpence for a coach. Exempt from the charges were mail coaches, foot passengers and people in a funeral cortege. Because it was possible for brave horsemen to leap over the gates without paying, the gate was sometimes replaced by what soon became known as a 'turnpike': a wooden bar with spikes on top. The book I am working on now features a lot of travel by horseback, so I thought I'd share some snippets of my research. Anyone with information to add to my growing collection of data about Stuart roads, I'd be glad to hear from you.

What can we say about Amalfi? The name evokes in us a sensation of beauty, probably due to its sea, so blue as to seem in communion with the sky. Or, again, the famous white houses, a typical summer architecture, that tells us traditions and the history of one of the most beautiful cities in Italy.
What to visit in Amalfi?
Amalfi is not very large, it counts a little more than 7000 inhabitants. Every year, however, it is taken by thousands of tourists, both Italian and foreign, who are enchanted by its wonders. In 1997, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. And how could it be otherwise?
Amalfi has the perfect climate to enjoy a summer at the most, between fun and relaxation, thanks to the presence of numerous places to have aperitifs in front of the sea.
Did you know that Amalfi is the place where cannelloni were probably invented? Yes, the famous pasta finds many recipes with which to be served by the various restaurants. In addition to the historical monuments and the sea, you can make a path in which to taste the excellence Amalfi.
We have selected for you some places that must be necessarily visited when you are near Amalfi.
The importance and beauty of its coastline
- Maritime Tour between Amalfi and Capri: The Amalfi Coast is famous all over the world. When you are here, it is impossible not to let yourself be conquered by the enchanting sea. We advise you to take a maritime boat tour between Amalfi and Capri. The Amalfi Coast boasts 50 km of coastline. Moreover, it is also very close to Positano, another inevitable destination, which deserves to be discovered. Here you will discover the pristine beaches and visit the Bays and grottos;
- Cloister of Paradise: Located at the Duomo of Amalfi, the cloister of paradise is probably one of the most famous buildings in the city. Built between 1266 and 1268, as a cemetery in which they would find rest the illustrious and deserving citizens, its historical importance is known. Inside, there were six frescoed chapels, of which today only five remain. You can visit them and read the various inscriptions dedicated to them;
Valley of the ironworks: among waterfalls, streams and nature reserves
- Walloon of the ironworks: we of tourism Campania, we cherish your travels, even if choosing and advising only certain destinations is very difficult, because there are a variety of places so fascinating that it is impossible not to visit. This is the case of a Walloon of the ironworks. You can reach this place on foot from the city: it will take you about an hour. Thanks to the creek and the waterfalls, the place is very breezy, so it is advisable to discover it in the middle of summer to seek refreshment from the city. Inside it has a nature reserve oriented;
- Duomo of Amalfi: Speaking of the city, it is impossible not to mention the Duomo. Predominantly Romanesque and baroque, we can also find Rococo features, as well as Arab and Norman elements. Having been remodelled several times, it is a very important complex that marks the various artistic currents present in Italy. Here we can find the cloister of Paradise and the crypt of Sant'Andrea.

Our students are digital natives. They have never known a world without screens. It's important for us to help them learn the digital landscape and how to balance screen time with real life activities. This video clip will give you some insight and ideas on how to connect with your students and how to help them gain a sense of a balance.
Elementary Video: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/videos/kids-and-tech-the-new-landscape

Be SMART!
The new school year is a great time to set expectations and rules for safely using the Internet. ISTE Standard 2 (Links to an external site.): Digital Citizen states, 'Students recognize the rights, responsibilities and opportunities of living, learning and working in an interconnected digital world, and they act and model in ways that are safe, legal and ethical.'
Being SMART on the Internet is an easy way to remember the guidelines: Safe, Meeting, Accepting, Reliable and Tell.
As summer approaches, there will no doubt be many great experiences to share with everyone with social media. It's important to remind students (and each other) that we need to be cautious about what we share on the internet. This poster from Common Sense Media gives some great guidelines on how to judge whether or not something is post-worthy or if it could potentially cause a problem for you or those you care about.
Download the infographic here:

Safely Searching for Images
How many educators have told students to use Google Images to search for images for student projects? Nine times out of ten, students will come across inappropriate images using Google Image search. As part of Internet Safety, it is important that students are searching for images and content on sites that are filtered to protect students from harmful images. We want students to be searching and using images that are appropriate for a school setting and can be used publicly because they are licensed by Creative Commons. The following is a list of where educators can take students to search for safe images.
Internet Safety Week
February 1st-5th is CSD White Ribbon Week, which recognizes the importance of Internet Safety. Please share this infographic with your students. Other things will be shared to help us focus on Internet Safety (posters, announcements, lesson plans, etc.) Please post pictures or information about anything you do to promote online safety and digital citizenship using the hashtag #csdwhiteribbonweek. Let me know if you have any questions! Click here to download image
Common Sense Media
This month we'd like to spread the word about Common Sense Media (Links to an external site.). They have wonderful resources for teaching students to become good, digital citizens who consider the effect of their actions on others when posting/participating online. These resources are available with curriculum and sequence. They also tie together with one of the great tools that we all have access, Nearpod. Start out with one of these great digital citizenship posters. And then check out the curriculum lesson plans and resources (Links to an external site.) available on Common Sense Media. Keep in mind that all of these lessons are available in our wonderful Nearpod Common Sense Media content. (Links to an external site.)
Stop and Think
For Elementary Schools:
It's important to stop and think before you post something online. Thinking about these things can help us decide if it's something we should be posting:
For Secondary Schools:
Sometimes we post things online, and later regret it. Being selective about what you post and make public is an important part of living responsibly in a digital age. If the post is questionable or you think you may regret doing it later on, just don't do it! Brittney is a 14 year old girl who posted something she later regretted. Please watch this clip with your students and have a short discussion on how things we post may affect us in the future.
https://www.commonsensemedia.org/videos/brittneys-story-posting-something-you-regret (Links to an external site.)
Students use the Internet consistently, which makes it very easy to copy the work of others and presenting it as one's own work. This is called plagiarism. Students needs to understand plagiarism and its consequences. Plagiarism is copying and pasting anything that is created by someone else without giving them credit. This includes copying and pasting music, videos, images, and text. People's creative work is protected under copyright law. Digital Citizenship is about not plagiarizing, and about being a respectful and responsible user and creator on the Internet.

5 Tops to Keep You Safe
Just as we have rules and expectations posted in our rooms, it is important to post and review Internet Safety Tips. Discuss this info graphic with your class and post near the computers in your room. Use this a daily reminder to review these tips
Digital Footprint
As students are starting school this year, they will have numerous opportunities to go online and interact with the virtual world. We'd like to remind them that each time they visit sites or interact with the internet they leave a "digital footprint". No matter their age, the activities they participate in online may seem private, but they are often quite public and can reflect back on them- positive or negative. Emphasize the need to really think about what kinds of things they view or search for online.
These tips are compiled by our Digital Citizenship team and sent to teachers on a monthly basis.

In addition, in many use cases you may want to translate each incoming request into a CDI RequestScope. This requires some custom handling of each request, before passing it down to RestEasy for processing. This allows you to properly scope all of your objects, though you cannot use a session scoped object (since there would be no active session).
The code is pretty simple to do this. You can find details on my github repository: https://github.com/johnament/resteasy-netty-cdi
First, define your endpoint. In my test case, I added a very simple one:
@Path("/")@RequestScopedpublic class TestEndpoint {@GETpublic String echo() {return "pong";}}
Next, we need some code to initialize the server. I added this directly in my test, but I would imagine most people would want to initialize it elsewhere.
CDINettyJaxrsServer netty = new CDINettyJaxrsServer();ResteasyDeployment rd = new ResteasyDeployment();rd.setActualResourceClasses(paths.getResources());rd.setInjectorFactoryClass(CdiInjectorFactory.class.getName());netty.setDeployment(rd);netty.setPort(8087);netty.setRootResourcePath("");netty.setSecurityDomain(null);netty.start();
As you can see in the test, I am using a custom CdiNettyJaxrsServer, which is what enables me for CDI integration. The only thing different about mine versus the normal one is what RequestDispatcher I use. The RequestDispatcher is what RestEasy provides to handle the incoming requests and what the response looks like. It's very low level. I decided this was the exact point I wanted to start the CDI RequestScope. So my RequestDispatcher looks like this
public class CDIRequestDispatcher extends RequestDispatcher{public CDIRequestDispatcher(SynchronousDispatcher dispatcher, ResteasyProviderFactory providerFactory,SecurityDomain domain) {super(dispatcher,providerFactory,domain);}public void service(HttpRequest request, HttpResponse response, boolean handleNotFound) throws IOException{BoundRequestContext requestContext = CDI.current().select(BoundRequestContext.class).get();Map<String,Object> requestMap = new HashMap<String,Object>();requestContext.associate(requestMap);requestContext.activate();try {super.service(request,response,handleNotFound);}finally {requestContext.invalidate();requestContext.deactivate();requestContext.dissociate(requestMap);}}}
So whenever a request comes in, I start the context (using Weld's BoundRequestContext) and on completion I end it. I also created a custom CdiInjectorFactory for Netty. This alleviates a bug in the base one that depends on a ServletContext being available (throughs a NullPointerException). It's just a simplified version of the injector factory
protected BeanManager lookupBeanManager(){BeanManager beanManager = null;beanManager = lookupBeanManagerCDIUtil();if(beanManager != null){log.debug("Found BeanManager via CDI Util");return beanManager;}throw new RuntimeException("Unable to lookup BeanManager.");}
You'll also notice in my test code I'm using a CDI Extension - LoadPathsExtension. This simply sits on the classpath and listens as Weld initializes.
LoadPathsExtension paths = CDI.current().select(LoadPathsExtension.class).get();
For each ProcessAnnotatedType it observes, it checks if Path is present. If Path is present, it adds it to a local list of all resources.
public void checkForPath(@Observes ProcessAnnotatedType pat) {if(pat.getAnnotatedType().isAnnotationPresent(Path.class)) {logger.info("Discovered resource "+pat.getAnnotatedType().getJavaClass());resources.add(pat.getAnnotatedType().getJavaClass());}}
This makes scanning for Paths possible, which is done by the container for RestEasy. In the Netty deployment, you need to always maintain your list of resources.
LoadPathsExtension paths = CDI.current().select(LoadPathsExtension.class).get();CDINettyJaxrsServer netty = new CDINettyJaxrsServer();ResteasyDeployment rd = new ResteasyDeployment();rd.setActualResourceClasses(paths.getResources());
Finally, we start the actual test which uses the JAX-RS client API to make a request to a specific resource.
Client c = ClientBuilder.newClient();String result = c.target("http://localhost:8087").path("/").request("text/plain").accept("text/plain").get(String.class);Assert.assertEquals("pong", result);

Our human attraction to water is well documented, observes Lauren Stack, but none of us are automatically comfortable around it, nor do we often learn to swim without access to lessons. That's a pair of issues this article addresses while pointing toward a compelling aquatic future.

Advent Blog Week 1: Hope
November 27 – December 3, 2016
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death a light has dawned." Isaiah 9:2
This is the first week of Advent; a time when we wait in anticipation for the earthly birth of our Divine Creator. With this birth, we are enlightened to the model life we are to lead. Up to this point we have been "walking in darkness" and with the birth we will see the "great light". In this 4-week series, I want to reflect on this waiting time and what it means spiritually. Each week we'll look at a different theme – Week 1 – Hope, Week 2 – Peace, Week 3 – Joy, and Week 4 – Love.
What are we hoping for? Each of us at some point in our life have or will have hoped for the ultimate rescuer. That one person we can count on that will take care of us, will never betray us, love all our warts and our successes. We are all wanting and waiting for that one person that will love us unconditionally. Jesus is that person. Jesus is our hero.
"He will keep you strong to the end, . . ." (1Corinthians 1:8)
Keeping this in mind, how will you live your life today?
Can you live your life today as if it is the only day left? As if it is the only day that matters? What might the day look like?
Instead of a day of worry about what the future will bring we can be confident that no matter what, all will be well. If we believe Jesus, our ultimate rescuer, will keep us safe and provide avenues for all our needs to be met today, then we can also believe Jesus will do the same tomorrow and every day into the future.
During this first week of Advent let's keep the light of Hope burning in our hearts and remember our ultimate rescuer – Jesus is on His way.
Think of a time when life was bleak – how did your ultimate rescuer, Jesus stand by you and provide?
What are you worrying about now? Is it possible to give that worry to Jesus?
Each time you think of the worry say this prayer – Jesus handle ___________ because I can't.

He leaves me to shake my head and wonder about men in general. Not only did he lead the public astray (not too shocking for a politician, but still....), but this man cheated on his dying wife and lied all the while to his family about the affair and his re-entry into fatherhood.
It takes 2 to tango and I think his mistress is just as much to blame as Edwards for the affair. However, I blame Edwards for succumbing to the temptations of cheating. Not just cheating on his spouse, but his family as well. Not to be crass, but if he was in such a hurry to have an affair, he couldn't at least wait until his wife passed away? What must his children think of him? Apparently, his eldest daughter feels that standing by him is the right thing to do.
She's a better person than I, that's for sure.

Jack White Goes to a Tigers Game
From what I saw on social media tonight, Jack White was at the Detroit Tigers game. Here is poses with the TV broadcast team.
Here he is throwing out the first pitch. Ball one. Insert joke about Jack White as a pitcher is a heck of a guitar player.
And here is Jack in a selfie taken by the Tigers mascot. OK, that's a little weird.

What's the real federal deficit?
"The federal government keeps two sets of books.
The set the government promotes to the public has a healthier bottom line: a $318 billion deficit in 2005.
The set the government doesn't talk about is the audited financial statement produced by the government's accountants following standard accounting rules. It reports a more ominous financial picture: a $760 billion deficit for 2005. If Social Security and Medicare were included — as the board that sets accounting rules is considering — the federal deficit would have been $3.5 trillion.
Congress has written its own accounting rules — which would be illegal for a corporation to use because they ignore important costs such as the growing expense of retirement benefits for civil servants and military personnel.
Last year, the audited statement produced by the accountants said the government ran a deficit equal to $6,700 for every American household. The number given to the public put the deficit at $2,800 per household.
A growing number of Congress members and accounting experts say it's time for Congress to start using the audited financial statement when it makes budget decisions. They say accurate accounting would force Congress to show more restraint before approving popular measures to boost spending or cut taxes."

by William Dickerman, Esq.
Guy walks into the Bar, asks for a beer. "Sorry," the Bar-keep replies, "no beer for you! But I'll give you something better, and for free: a primer on how to go about choosing the right lawyer." And here is what he told me:
Lawyers vary in quality more than perhaps any other professionals. Passing the Bar Exam means merely that the student knew enough law and could conduct the minimal amount of analysis necessary to begin to handle legal matters. A law license tells nothing about the person's honesty, integrity, emotional stability, judgment, interpersonal skills, and other critical intangibles.
It therefore falls to the client to protect himself ("him" includes "her" in this article) when retaining a lawyer, lest he invite the kind of unfortunate situation I see too often: A client frantic with fear and anxiety because his trial is imminent and his lawyer just bowed out because he was disbarred, or is unprepared, or can't take the pressure, or he squandered his client's money, etc. I got a call recently from an overwrought fellow whose trial was to begin in three weeks, and who had just discovered his "lawyer" wasn't, in fact, a lawyer. And that was the good news: The bad news was that no desirable attorney was likely to play Lone Ranger, after a year's litigation that was in disarray.
Such scenarios can easily be avoided, as can more "ordinary" instances of unhappiness with chosen counsel—which I am called on regularly to cure. That requires careful investigation, including personal referrals, if possible; checking out the lawyer's discipline status with the State Bar; using search engines to see what's been written about the lawyer (aka Google); examining his website; scrutinizing his academic and professional credentials; and interviewing him with questions designed to determine if he's the right lawyer for you. Here are, from my experience, some of the factors that are most likely to lead to success and avoid disaster:
Make sure the person you're considering is a lawyer.
This seems like a no-brainer, but you'd be surprised how often imposters are discovered handling legal matters and ruining them. If you don't check the person out with the State Bar, you won't know for sure. Their website (http://members.calbar.ca.gov/fal/MemberSearch/QuickSearch) will tell you that and much other useful information.
Investigate the lawyer's disciplinary record.
It, too, is available at the State Bar's website. Lawyers are disciplined for numerous transgressions—ranging from relatively minor sins such as improperly promoting themselves, to serious wrongdoing such as commingling personal and client funds. Many clients who were unaware of their lawyers' malfeasance would not have hired them if they'd known.
Demand competence and experience for your legal matter.
Lawyers used to be generalists; now many more of us are specialized. A generalist might be adequate to write a simple contract, petition for an uncontested marriage dissolution, or obtain a default in a lawsuit, which do not call for expertise and the high fees that expertise tends to command. But the law is constantly expanding as the lawmakers go about their jobs with alacrity, and that means that many matters require someone who is well-versed in a narrow practice area.Learn whether yours is one. It is altogether proper to ask the candidate to explain how many matters of your type he has handled, and what his results have been. Keep in mind that in this tight economy, attorneys are suffering as much as anyone else, and may be tempted to take on matters for which they're not truly suited. You might also ask the lawyer to allow you to contact a couple of clients for whom he has handled a similar matter. Happy clients are often willing to consult with prospective clients.
Hire a busy lawyer.
Legal matters are expensive.A lot may be at stake, and doing things right takes time by a skillful lawyer. Manage that expense by avoiding the practitioner who has all the time in the world to attend to you. True to Parkinson's Law, the work may expand to fit the time available for its completion. Because the busy lawyer is not too dependent on the income from your matter, he will likely charge a reasonable fee.
Retain a lawyer who will be attentive to you and your concerns.
I am often asked to take over for an attorney who all but disappeared after he got the case.Having volunteered in the Bar's attorney-client dispute resolution program, I think it's safe to say that the most common complaint is that the lawyer doesn't communicate with the client. "My attorney won't talk to me"; "he doesn't return my calls"; "he doesn't keep me advised on the status of the case".That is inexcusable. Find out if the candidate is one of those attorneys; if he is, look elsewhere. If not, get his written commitment to keep you informed; to return phone calls within 24 hours; to copy you on all important documents; to oversee the matter personally rather than fob it off on someone else; and, by no means least, to seek your input on crucial issues before incurring substantial fees and expenses.
Go with your gut feeling.
Retain only someone whom you trust, with whom you feel safe, and who you believe really cares about you as a client, not a meal ticket.
The foregoing are only some of the many factors to consider. (For some particular suggested inquiries of lawyers whom you interview, see the page "What to Ask" on our website) If you take these suggestions to heart, you'll likely have a positive client-attorney experience.
