If You Want To Homeschool You Have To Read This
The expense of private education does not mean you cannot provide your children with a great education. Homeschooling can let them do so. This article can help you.
Figure out what part of the house will create your classroom. It needs to be an area in which the kids feel comfortable yet won't be distracted. You need to provide enough space for a lot of action and other activities such as acting or dancing. You should have no problem consistently keeping an eye out for your students too.
Have you considered the financial hit you may take by choosing to homeschool. Quitting your job to teach your kids can pose a lot of money.
Older Kids
Set aside an area for your preschoolers that has toys and crafts they can use while you are teaching older kids. Ask the older kids to play with teaching younger kids. This lets everyone learn and will instill confidence.
Homeschooling is the perfect opportunity to flex your creative and crafty side to use. You can easily make certain resources that would otherwise cost lots of money to purchase. You can make DIY flash cards instead of buying them. Have your kids step up and turn it into a lesson.
Your children needs some hands-on lesson. You could cook foods which apply to the country you are studying. An example of this is making cabbage rolls and perogies if they are learning about Stalin. If your theme unit is about WWII you can make German or a historical site. Learning with every sense can help them retain more fully understand the topics.
Homeschooling is a totally different world to that just cannot be found in either the private or the public school systems. You may need to get them a tutor if you find they're testing below average in certain areas.
Allow your kids to have break times so that he or she can run around and use up extra energy stores. This will help your children focus on their lessons. Make time for breaks as part of your lesson plan.
Are you homeschooling more than one child at home? You need to know how your discipline style will work. It will be hard to keep your students orderly if you have trouble with discipline. By looking carefully at your weaknesses in how you deal with bad behavior, you can ensure success of all your children.
Homeschooling is a wonderful option when your child encounters too many problems in a public or private education system. It reduces the amount of stress your child faces daily. You will also have a chance to bond with them. This can be the best option if your child suffer through a difficult school setting.
High schoolers who are homeschooled must focus on passing a GED tests. You can give them GED sample tests before starting the school year. This gives you be able to concentrate on weaker areas.
You need to honestly evaluate your own shortcomings if you have as an effective homeschooling teacher. Some parents who home school their children may skip certain subjects if its an area of weakness for them. This will leave some gaps in the education received.
Find a group of other homeschooling parents in your area. You will benefit from other families who are sharing your experience. You can also build friendships by sharing your shared experiences and advice. This also create a social circle for your children opportunities to make new friends. It can be harder for your children to make friends since they are not spending time in class with other children. Meeting with other homeschooling families is the perfect solution.
Homeschooling can be tense sometimes because of your children. Try leaving "home" issues outside of class. If life becomes a little more stressful than usual, take a break. This will help you both a chance to relax and regroup.
If you are homeschooling and you are married, make sure that your spouse takes care of other household duties. Your spouse can chauffeur children to their sports or dance practices. It is imperative that you and your partner to make time to spend together as well.
We hope that the information contained in this article has filled you with a sense of confidence and optimism when it comes to home schooling. With the right information handy, you can do it! Using the information in this article, you will be able to teach your kids with skill and confidence.

My lab is a small lab. I don't have any graduate students, postdocs, or research technicians. I have me and a handful of students. Two undergraduates and one medical student. They undergrads are due to graduate this year. The medical student is a 2nd year and will be moving on soon for her 3rd and 4th year clinical rotations. That means I have to replace all three of them. I've been giving some thought to how I will do this.
I have some experience now in the process. My experience supports the hypothesis that there is no fool proof method. I can interview a lot of students, I can put out an announcement on a board, I can only go with word-of-mouth. Most of the time I get pretty good students. Once in a while I get a great one. Once in a while I get a bad apple. Knowing that no matter how thoroughly I investigate the applicants, I might get a bad one anyway frees me up to just do as good a job as I can and make the best decision I can.
Usually there's a few that are obviously not a good match. You might think it's because the person is such a low achiever that I just throw out the application. But more often it's because the person is such a high achiever. With several scholarships, awards, activities, and offices held, I don't see how such a student has time to be a research assistant, or how that student would be motivated to do it. The overachieving student doesn't need the research experience because her resume is packed. So I tend to shy away from them. That would have made me very angry when I was a student, if someone took that approach and I found out about it. I was one of the overachievers.
In preparing for this upcoming round of interviews and selections, I wrote up a description of my ideal student. I've learned not to publicize all the characteristics of my ideal students, because they take them so literally. I only meant it is my ideal, not that these are requirements! Yes, my ideal student is in town over Christmas and spring break, but how likely am I to find someone like that? Not very, so go ahead and apply. If you are a better fit in other capacities I might take you over someone who never leaves Kirksville. To tell the truth you'd have to be a little bit weird to stay in town during all the vacations so I'd want that one anyway. (It is slightly possible that I don't know what I want.)
I went ahead and pulled out all the plugs as I wrote up this description. It was for my eyes only, not a job posting, so I didn't worry about saying things like "I prefer this kind of personality" or "I want someone who likes to bicycle". I do prefer a somewhat outgoing personality, because it's a bit of a struggle for me to connect with the reserved, shy ones. They make me feel loud and awkward. I love to talk about bicycling, so I can connect really easily with a student who likes to bicycle.
Of my three current students, one of them is quiet and bicycles, and I've connected well with him. The others aren't as interested in bicycling, but they don't mind hearing about it, and they aren't shy, so I've connected pretty well with them too.
From this I concluded that it is important for me to feel like I have connected with the students. It puts me at ease around them, which lets me communicate with them much better. Regardless of the specifics–personality, or personal interests–the important thing is that I can connect with the student.
There was another trait that came out on my "for my eyes only" that troubled me quite a bit. I've worked with or around at least a dozen scientists from India/ Pakistan during my career. With very few exceptions, they've caused or had problems. I've heard horror stories from their labs, I've experienced the horror stories in their labs, I've had troubling interactions with the ones who were my peers. As I was writing this, I realized that my ideal student is probably not from India.
That bothered me. A lot.
It prompted me to ask why that is. Why do the Indian scientists have troubles in the US? Is it cultural? (Of course it is.) What is it about the culture? Is it something I could learn to work around? I started feeling curious about it. I thought, if I did take an Indian student, I would do it knowing that she would be a lot of work, that maybe I would learn more about the culture and where is the friction between that culture and ours. Maybe we would successfully figure out how it could work. Or maybe it wouldn't work out, but I would have learned a lot.
In thinking about the many interactions I've had with Indians, some of them moderately uncomfortable and some of them explosively uncomfortable, I suddenly noticed a common theme. Indians (in general, it's a big place and not uniform, anymore than US culture is uniform) value the need to save face. Saving face is very important to them, and they understand another person's need to save face. In the US, honesty is valued more than saving face. Even if they knew the person was lying to save face, Indians won't call them on it. Furthermore, they'd judge anyone harshly for calling someone on their face-saving dishonesty.
This is pretty hard to swallow for an American. We're proud of taking each other to task. We like finding out and publicizing someone's dishonesty. We like bringing someone down. (Again, generalizations. Obviously neither Indians nor Americans are a single culture or personality.)
Being able to see this cultural trait without judging it is really important if I want to understand how their culture interacts with mine. I can't judge either culture. I can't say that Indian culture is bad for prizing saving face above honesty, nor can I say that American culture is good for being honest. I can't stop there, I have to look at how part of American honesty is this delight in crushing other people. I have to see how the Indian respect for saving face is a kindness to someone who has failed. But again, without judgment. Neither the American honesty nor the Indian saving face is bad or good. It is just how it is.
Now I'm nearly keen to take on an Indian student, to learn more about the cultural friction, to gain a deeper understanding of my own culture. That is one of the things I love about science. For all that the internationals are flooding the PhD job market, I love it because it's a little like getting a study abroad experience without ever leaving Missouri.

America West Reports $62M 1Q Loss
The parent of America West Airlines reported Wednesday it lost $62 million in the first quarter, its 10th consecutive quarterly loss.
America West Holdings Corp.'s loss amounted to $1.84 per share, for the January-March period in contrast to a loss of $273.5 million, or $8.10 per share, a year ago.
Excluding unusual items, the company lost $1.97 per share. That was smaller than the $2.09 a share loss expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.
Operating revenues for the quarter were $523.2 million, up 13.7 percent from $460.3 million in the same period in 2002.
"While slightly improved on a year-over-year basis and quite favorable when compared to other airlines, our financial results continue to reflect the harsh realities facing our industry today," said Douglas Parker, the airline's chairman, president and chief executive.
"We remain in the midst of the most difficult period in aviation history, and it is difficult to predict when conditions will improve," he said.
The airline took several steps in recent months to try to cut costs.
Last week, the airline cut 250 jobs. The management, professional and administrative positions cut were primarily in the company's Tempe, Ariz., headquarters and other Phoenix locations.
Pilots, flight attendants and other positions were not affected.
In February, America West also announced that it will eliminate its hub in Columbus, Ohio, and rely on its larger and more profitable hubs in Phoenix and Las Vegas. The Columbus hub will be downgraded during the second quarter.
America West serves destinations in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
In trading on the New York Stock Exchange, America West Holdings shares rose 18 cents to close Wednesday at $3.03.

And today right from the Mi Spanish Community confirmation of u arrivesn GLOBAL event to be held on 24 July, and that will most likely have like main actor is the launch of Mi A2, a new smartphone that will be equipped with an operating system Android One and which inherits the hardware and design of the performing Xiaomi Mi 6X. The Spanish event will be held on July 24, a Tuesday as tradition Xiaomi, in the city of Madrid, but no further information is provided except the fact that a GLOBAL launch is expected for this event in which some products will also be honored.
Xiaomi Spain sets a GLOBAL event for the 24 July
Of course mine are only assumptions based on a series of elements that lead to this reasoning, as nothing of an official was issued by the management of Xiaomi. It is undeniable, however, that the new device to embrace the Android One project, has long been available in the hands of some Spanish leakers and that some stores have even included the new Mi A2 smartphone. And what do you think, do you agree with me in this hypothesis of global launch of Mi A2?

Mahindra is betting big on its Mini-Xylo in India. And for the same reason they have been testing the car for at least a couple of years now.
Generally manufacturers try to pitch in a product as soon as they can so that they can start earning from the platform they have invested so much upon. However spy pics of Mini-Xylo started surfacing from many months back. Among all the other regular highway and in-city spy pics, this car has also been spied with zebra-stripes amidst all the snow under cold-weather testing in Northern Europe. The following pics from WorldCarFans published in February this year are a testimony to this fact.
These pics also reveal that expectantly Mahindra would also use this product for its international markets as well. We also have traces of Mini-Xylo testing in harsh conditions of Leh and similar extreme regions.
Mahindra's mini-xylo would come with a 1.5L 3 cylinder engine which is one cylinder slashed from the Xylo's current mill. However, things do not end here; Mahindra has also played with engine dimensions. They also had to curb the vibration issues which is a characteristics of 3-cylinders. So, a rigorous testing was anyways needed for this product to ensure things do not go haywire.
Also, check out our scoop of Mini-Xylo
Positioning of Mini-Xylo in India:
While this is known that this new compact SUV would be sub 4 meters in length in India and hence would enjoy the lesser excise duty advantage, it would be really interesting to see how would Mahindra position it here.
Their entry level Bolero is a mass seller and is clocking 9k monthly units on an average. Bolero starts at somewhere around 5.65 Lac (Ex-Showroom Pune) for the BS3 Plus Non-AC variants and 6.30 Lac (Ex-Showroom Pune) for the new BS4 SLE variant which produces 63PS/193Nm from its 2.5L m2DiCR engine.
Mahindra would have definitely planned Mini-Xylo to help them create a new segment and hence bring in more volumes adding to what Bolero gets them. A very attractive starting price of 4.5Lacs does look feasible for this car because if Mahindra goes much over this, it would definitely cannibalize into Bolero which we are sure they would not want to happen in major magnitude. If net-net 10-11k units are all both of these UVs garner, the point of introducing mini-Xylo would go nulled.

Sudden onset so-called child myopia. One day your child sees just fine, the next day – hugely short sighted. High myopia diagnosed. No explanation, no treatment besides glasses. This happens, and I wish every parent in this situation would find this post before saying yes to glasses.
At the risk of sounding like an elderly matron turned Internet unicorn hippie: Odds that your child suddenly becomes highly myopic in some irreversible manner, pretty slim. Odds that there's a huge bit of focusing muscle (ciliary) spasm, far more likely. Odds that the friendly local optic shop 'prescribes' a huge minus lens for your child if they get their hands on him/her – pretty much 100%.
Which is purely tragic, if it happens. He says, sounding like an old Internet matron unicorn farmer.
Minus lenses are a symptom treatment. They don't address causality. Don't go 'fix' a possible biological malfunction till you've got a really, really clear and plausible explanation of 1) what actually happened and 2) how the minus lens is the only possible answer.
Sometimes minus makes sense. I'm not saying go live in a cabin in the woods, swear off Western medicine, paint your face in tribal chakras.
Middle ground. Sanity before minus-for-everyone.
20/20 To Sudden -6 Myopia
Case in point, Ashley's 5 year old son goes from 20/20 vision to sudden -6 diopter myopia. According to the optometrist.
Here's Ashley telling the story herself:
A year ago, my then five year old, woke up and could not see more than a few inches past his own face. When he went to bed the night before, his vision was 20/20, and when he woke up, it was -6 diopters (20/800).
We had no idea what was going on, so we took him to an optometrist that morning. The optometrist ran several tests to check his eye health and nothing stood out… he was just severely near-sighted.
The optometrist did not believe us that his eyesight was perfectly fine the night before. He believed that we just didn't recognize that our son was having trouble with his vision until now. However, just a few months before, our pediatrician had checked my son's eyesight. So we knew for certain, it was normal then.
We then took him to his pediatrician, who was dumbfounded at how poor his eyesight was. He ordered blood tests and an MRI to check for a chiari malformation. That night, without answers, we went and got our son some prescription glasses… feeling completely bewildered and distraught.
After the kids went to bed, we started researching. We learned that muscle spasms can occur in the eyes and that this can happen suddenly. It's just not usually that severe when it occurs.
At that point we made the decision to take away the glasses and have Ben "exercise" his eyes by doing activities that required him to try to see objects at a distance. We played toss & catch with a large, lightweight ball. We had him try to use a plastic bow and arrow (inside the house!). We played with toy bowling pins. We bundled up for the snow and went on walks. We stopped letting him use the microscope, and wouldn't let him play with legos, or draw and color… all of his favorite things – all which forced his eyes to focus on objects close to his face. With these changes, his eyesight seemed to improve by an inch or so by the next morning.
He had an MRI that day and thankfully it was normal. Blood work wouldn't happen for another few days.
We kept at it for the next two days with the eye exercises and by the fourth day, while he was out on a walk, his eyesight suddenly snapped back, and he yelled out, "Dada, I can see now!! I can see!" ?
At his next appointment with our pediatrician, just a week later, his eyesight was 20/20.
I share this, because, apparently it can happen. ?♀ I had no idea. A person can go from having 20/20 vision, to being 20/800, and back to 20/20 – in less than a week, because of an eye muscle spasm.
I also share this because, ***if we had not done our own research***, we would have kept having him wear the glasses, and we would have only REINFORCED his near-sightedness… making it permanent. Again, had we just believed the optometrist, that our son's eyesight had gradually gotten this bad, we would have continued to use the glasses and caused PERMANENT DAMAGE to his eyes.
I thank God that we did our research. After this experience, I have realized that a lot of what we have been told about eyesight/vision is not entirely accurate… Thank goodness for people who question what we "know" and share what they have learned.
Original thread is here.
The Internet is full of very highly questionable 'cures', remedies, herbs, diagnoses, imagined deficiencies, detox recipes, and general head-shakerizing incredulity.
All That Glitters
Indeed, isn't gold. Or even not horse poop.
Your favorite eye guru is painfully aware how very much we're wading in that deep end of the swampy pool filled with unicorn ideas that are dubitable at best. Retail medicine is still in business because the alternative being Internet crazy talk just doesn't appeal much to anyone with a healthy semblance of sanity.
So, please. Visit the science section. From there head to Google Scholar and get into the habit of looking up actual clinical science and peer reviewed studies. Trust nothing you find online that sounds like some grand conspiracy theory reveal and alt health crazy cult.
But then also be highly weary of sudden unexplained child myopia. Especially when said child enjoys playing games on iPads and watching cartoons on smartphones.
Caveat emptor, darlings.

I have some very exciting news. The new Storage cartridge is coming out. Version 4.4. Its due to be released very soon! The big news for this release is that we are going to migrate the database that has always been a part of the Storage Cartridge off the Agent Manager. It is being incorporated into the main Foglight Database. This is HUGE !!!!! No more second databases.
By removing the database, the footprint of the Storage install is shrunk significantly. 90% less diskspace. No more running Postgress on the FglAM anymore. No more hunting for the support bundles on the Fglam. This will also lead to significantly better stability and much easier and faster deployment. The resource consumption will also be drastically reduced (since we are not running a local database for the storage cart anymore).
Another great feature for the 4.4 release is enhancements to the SDK cartridge. Here is the location to get the binaries and instructions for building the cartridge:
Dashboards | Administration | Cartridges | Components for Download
This will allow you to build an agent for any storage or switches you have in your environment. We are working on some interesting stuff in this area so stay tuned…..

Melville Special Olympian Brings Home Hardware/
By Connor Beach
A Melville swimmer returned from last month's Special Olympics USA games in Seattle, Washington with a little extra weight, the weight of one gold and two bronze medals to be exact.
Swimming didn't always come naturally for Danielle Birnbaum, 26, of Melville. Birnbaum started swimming at the age of three, but several years later she had a near drowning experience that almost cost her her life.
"I almost died," Birnbaum said.
Despite the traumatic experience, Birnbaum never lost her love of the water. She continued on to swim in middle school and as a member of the varsity team at Half Hollow High School West.
After graduating from high school, Birnbaum just couldn't give up the sport. "It just relaxes me," she said.
Birnbaum joined a club swimming team after high school and has had continuous success at the New York State Special Olympic games, winning numerous medals in the freestyle and butterfly events.
It was her success at the state level that earned her a chance to represent New York at the USA Special Olympic games.
"I was pretty shocked when I found out that I was going to nationals," she said. "I didn't know that I was going to get picked."
Birnbaum began an intense training schedule in January that including working with aquatics coach Frank DeGrazia as well as a strength and conditioning program. Even with nearly six months of training behind her Birnbaum was "extremely nervous" as she traveled to Seattle for the opening ceremonies on July 1.
Birnbaum captured the bronze medal in the 200-meter freestyle on July second, and began to gain confidence with two events still ahead of her. On July 5 Birnbaum swam the 400-meter freestyle for the first time in a competition, and, with an entourage of over 20 friends and family cheering her on, she captured the gold medal. Birnbaum entered the pool again just over four hours later to earn her second bronze medal of the trip in the 100-meter butterfly. \
"There were a lot of good athletes, but I enjoyed the tough competition," Birnbaum said. "It was great because I like to compete."
Birnbaum, who currently works as a hostess at Zinburger at the Walt Whitman Shops in Huntington Station, said she plans to continue swimming, at least until she turns 30. She said, "Swimming is my life."

Camp Cool Kids was released on 11th July 2017 with a PG rating and is written and directed by Lisa Arnold. The only major name in the movie is Michael Gross who plays the grandfather of two boys who have recently lost their air force father. They have moved into his house with their mum and are due to attend a camp for the summer. The younger of the two boys, Spence, is not looking forward to it and really does not want to go. His older brother, Dean, is supposedly the cool one of the family and does not want to babysit him for the full two weeks.
When Spence gets to camp, he is extremely nervous but a camp regular soon befriends him and takes him into his bunk where he cheers up a little. The boys in the bunk are nice and between them they have some funny moments. They also end up having a mini-war with the boys from Dean's bunk. I don't want to spoil the movie but parts of this was unrealistic but maybe that would happen in a real camp?
The story is very Christian based even with quotes from the bible and this was really annoying and could have been done a lot better. There is no need to ram the messages home in this way and I have detracted a star because of this. I did enjoy the movie, the storyline could have been a lot different, but I am guessing that would change the message that was being put forward? Overall though a strong 4 from 5, but I wouldn't add it to my collection.

Shares in creative agency Jaywing (LON:JWNG) sunk nearly 5 percent on Tuesday morning, after a "challenging" year sent EBIDTA down by £1.9 million.
Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) fell to £3 million, from £4.9 million the year before, as the group struggled to deal with challenges in a competitive market.
Other key figures were more positive, however, with the group reporting a narrower annual loss and a 4.2 percent growth in revenues. Pre-tax losses more than halved to £1.22 and gross profit increased by 2 percent.
The firm said it was well positioned to meet expectations for the new financial year.
Martin Boddy, chairman of Jaywing, said: "After four consecutive years of growth fuelled by a strong data science-led proposition, we have endured a period of challenging market conditions in the UK.
"We have taken the necessary actions to recover our EBITDA margin going forward whilst ensuring that we still have the necessary resources to grow our client base so we can return our EBITDA to previous levels by the financial year ending March 2020.
"Despite these challenges it has been a year of progress in terms of expanding our fast-growing Australian operation through the acquisition of Frank Digital, plus we have launched innovative technology incorporating the use of artificial intelligence for clients in the UK and beyond."
Shares in Jaywing (LON:JWNG) are currently trading down 4.53 percent at 21.48 (1112GMT).

At this very point i am very sad to see how over-excited or over-depressed can one nation´s face be. At most of the times the majority is not satisfied with achievements of their own athletes. Spitting in their faces with degrading disgust. But when…just when one of the athletes…of course their own again…get to the point of success. Now it seems that the cheering and boasting reached another level. Level of nonsense and idiocracy.
Sochi is almost over with freeskiing. There is the final Halfpipe women´s event tonight and i am going to be ´narrating´ their tricks over the national broadcast here in Ljubljana. Of course most of the people here is confused, uninformed, scorning and full of mockery to one of the rare that actually has the future, has the talent, has the young, has the industry, has the bold, has the balls to show that the sport of freeskiing does not need freaking Olympic farce to exist. I am proud to see that the world of freeskiing developed, but am far from glad that the feedback to David, Joss and Dara never came from the core. Yes, the runs were nuts, but nothing i haven´t seen before. And the core agrees. Big ups to Henrik who literally showed his ass to the judges and won the prize of the crowds, tribute to Jossi who showed the aspect of style and what a halfpipe run and what a triple sw zero. I am astonished. But glad that the thing will be over soon. I would be happy if the games finish tonight after Filip´s appearance at Skier X and hopefully another medal for Slovenia. Slovenia has won 7 medals so far and is on the second place, just behind Norwegians. Number of won medals compared to population of the country. (http://www.medalspercapita.com/).
So what am i even doing here being smart and all that? Nothing, just chillin. It´s just another nigga day.

The great news is, you have your objectives and your task list is slimmed down to the critical essentials. Now it's time to estimate and allocate your budget for each task. There's some math needed at this early stage, and excel will be your best friend as you monitor expenses in the lead up (and after) an event.
First of all, to get an accurate representation of each element of the task, you will need to boil it down into meticulous detail. It sounds tedious, but you may just surprise yourself about the hidden costs – and it's best to catch these early. Once you have each task narrowed down to within an inch of its life, the following items may arise:
- Licenses and Permit
- Equipment and Storage
- Travel
- Facilities
- Labour and Materials
Whether the amount is coming from your pocket, a client or the company you work for, it is imperative you track the money closely. Remaining under budget will gain you praise from your bank or lender, whereas going over budget can leave you in some very tricky situations.
So how do you estimate the cost of your event and detailed elements listed in the task list? You can do research online, contact vendors for quotes and trawl the internet shops for best available deals. That's the easy bit – the harder bit goes back to being organised. Just like having a binder filled with your inner most thoughts and feelings of what you want to have, you now need to organise your expenses for each task on the list. This will help you avoid any unexpected costs after the event, like vendor payments, shipping and postage costs, EVERYTHING! There are a number of tools available, but the method I am most familiar with goes as follows…
Open up Excel and transfer all tasks into a spreadsheet, with the following considerations:
The document doesn't really need to look more complicated than this, however I would encouraged you to include as much information as possible. Within each task item, you should include details of your desired outcome, especially if you are planning an event for a client. This will help to demonstrate why there has been budget allocated to a specific item, and will help you make the right decisions later if you decide it is no longer required. Essentially, the more details you include during your planning stages, the better chance you will have later on down the line.
- Price per unit – if you have an overall cost for the task, just include the single amount here. In the same way, include all costs of a vendor here, even if you are paying in instalments
- Estimated cost – Once you have calculated how much each element of a task will cost and received quotes, this will represent your budget. If you have extra money left over, brilliant. If not, you may need to start narrowing down your task list again. It's always best to do this during the planning stages than have some nasty surprises later!
- Actual cost – As you move through each task and your vendors confirm payment details, make sure you fill in the actual cost details. These costs may be higher than your estimate, which means you may need to negotiate discounts for other items later down the road. Remember to include tax amounts in the actual costs.
You should now have everything in place regarding expenses of your event. I reiterate for dramatic effect – do not forget about your budget tracker. As soon as you have a contract signed, paid for and completed: Update the budget tracker! If you wait until a week before the event and find you have overspent on decorations and can't afford to feed your guests – well, they would rather see an empty room. If people don't eat, they don't stay. Use your budget as a quality control for your event, ensuring you have your critical essentials adequately budgeted for.
Are there specific tools you use for tracking budgets? Or do you have additional fields you like to complete when tracking budgets? I'd love to hear your best practices in our comments to continually support our audience in achieving their ambitious goals.

Week 45
It's been quite the stressful week this week. For the past three weeks, we've had the prospective baptisms of Osiris and Ingrid, and they've failed us each week with a different excuse or reason for which they couldn't be baptized. When they didn't come to church last Sunday, we decided that we are effectively going to start over with them, teaching them everything from the beginning. The missionaries that were here in Presas before supposedly had taught "everything", but we realized they didn't know that basics of the gospel. Hence, we're starting over, and we placed their baptismal date for the 7th of November. I probably won't be here in Presas at that point, but we'll see what Elder Gallegos can do. We just finished up his week 11 where he had to take the initiative in everything, and he totally nailed it. He told me afterwards that it was pretty stressful at times, and I was like, "I told you!" He learned a lot, though, and that's the whole purpose of week 11 in the training of a new missionary.
I said this week was stressful more for the fact that the Garcia family began to grow doubtful about their baptism. They all had received a testimony of the truthfulness of the gospel, but their grandparents began telling them things like, "if you get baptized, you won't be part of our family anymore." Yeah, it was THAT bad. Needless to say, the children began growing quite fearful that they would lose their family upon being baptized. Fortunately, having gained their trust through the process of our teaching them, they expressed to us said doubts. My brain immediately started running through the scripture mastery scriptures I learned back in seminary, and through a quite powerful lesson, we were able to resolve their doubts, and everything came out just fine. I may not have been a super huge fan of seminary back in the day, but it sure has come in handy when I need to bust out a scripture or two.
In other news, I killed a tarantula the other day with Leticia, the flashlight-tazer that Elder Niro left for me. Elder Gallegos and I were helping a stranger move some dirt (yay service!) when I saw a semi-large and hairy tarantula next to my hand. Scared the Charles Dickins out o' me, that spider did. Fortunately, I had the ingenious idea to burn that sucker from the inside out with the awe-inspiring power of electricity. It was pretty great.
As for the spiritual side of things for this week, I will start with an experience. Yesterday (Sunday), we had a grand feast in the home of some members, and they had invited several families to eat with us. They cooked a large pile of meat and served it out. I was one of the last to go back for more, and I found, to my dismay, only a small piece of pork left. I went ahead and grabbed it, slightly disappointed, but I said nothing as to the dying whale still found in my stomache. When Elder Gallegos and I had finished (still hungry), one of the sisters of the ward walked past, whispered to us "wait just a minute, Elders," and walked out the door. A few minutes later, she walked back in with a bag of tortillas and cheese, obvious that she had just bought them from the store. She then asked us how we wanted our quesadillas to be made.
I was incredibly disappointed at what had just happened. Even after all the emphasis that the prophet and the apostles had placed on keeping the sabbath day holy, I still saw the same problem that has persisted since the beginning of time. I very frankly said, "The thing is, Sister Andrade, you just bought those on the Sabbath Day. Therefore, we won't eat them." Probably feeling a little bit bad, she went ahead and made them, serving a rather large pile on a plate and placing it in front of us, as if testing our resolve to not eat the condemnation that was the quesadillas.
We casually pushed the quesadillas in front of us and continued to share a quick message with the two young men at our same table. One of them was the son of Sister Andrade, and he said, "my mom told us that if it's for the missionaries, it's okay to buy things on Sunday." I haven't the slightest idea who has been preaching such apostacy, but Elder Gallegos and I made sure to clarify why that was certainly not the case. As we continued sharing, one of the men there at the party walked up, and held a quesadilla in front of my face.
"Elder, it's a quesadilla."
"Yes, hermano. Yes it is."
"You can go ahead and eat it."
"No, hermano. No I can't. This was purchased on the Sabbath Day."
He walked away, saying nothing more. After we had finished sharing with the young men, we said a quick prayer with them, told them not to eat the quesadillas, and walked out without an ounce of hunger or regret for what we had done. We were spilled spiritually for standing up for what we knew was right. It really was a great testimony builder for me, as it was always a little difficult for me back in high school to stand up firmly for my beliefs. I normally simply avoided the confrontation of the situation, but I certainly would not do it this time, especially when surrounded by people who knew the commandments and how to keep the Sabbath Day holy. It doesn't matter who we are, what we do, or in what circumstances we are found. If we know the commandments of God and have faith, we will keep them. Period. There is no if, and, or but. Keeping the commandments is the one and only way that we will recieve the blessings of the Lord. We know it, even if no one else does. Let us be examples to the believers, lights on a hill. Iré y haré.

Google Home Mini Review
For just $49 (£49, AU$79), the moderate Google Home Mini accomplishes something that the best Bluetooth speakers can't comprehend: it comes furnished with Google Assistant, which is dependably good to go to enable you to discover answers, turn on the tunes, diminish the lights, begin a TV show and more by utilizing only your voice.
Thusly, the Home Mini is precisely similar to the bigger, more costly Google Home and even the ground-breaking Google Home Max. In any case, that is the place the examinations stop. While the others make for exceptionally strong independent speakers from an execution point of view, the Home Mini can't stand its ground as the sole sound-producer in your home.
[Update: Google Home Mini has as of late advanced over to India. Our group over yonder has viewed the full size Google Home, and keeping in mind that they valued it, says that both the Home and Amazon Echo are breaks even with in a market that aren't prepared for either.]
There's unquestionably a part of subjectivity in judging sound quality, however most would concur that what the Home Mini is equipped for is anything but a mess. The soundstage – in spite of being pitched as 360-degrees – falls rather level. While talented in pulling up the most cloud music you can concoct from a genuinely wide assortment of spilling administrations, it has a troublesome time doing them equity on account of this current speaker's humble profile.
On the flipside, in the event that you officially possess a Google Home or have a speaker set up with a Chromecast Audio, the Home Mini will make your sound course of action much sweeter with its skill inclining toward the highs in the sound profile. Vocals and so forth toll through unmistakably, however come in to the detriment of, well, everything else. This isn't an issue in the event that you have different speakers getting the slack, however independent from anyone else, the Home Mini simply isn't sufficiently strong.
Despite that reality in any case, it's unimaginable not to prescribe this little gadget. Its Assistant smarts, vast rundown of highlights and low value make it simple to dive in on the Home Mini.
Look at the Latest Google Home Mini tips and traps
The Google Home Mini looks as though Google flipped around the Home, at that point smushed it down to estimate. In that capacity, you'll discover the texture surface on the highest point of this gadget with the matte plastic on the base half. Additionally, on the off chance that you get a kick out of the chance to contrast tech with sustenance, this gadget resembles a macaron.
The palm-sized Home Mini radiates a look that its texture work is only for looks, however it's really conductive to your touch in a couple of territories. For instance, tapping the best stops and continues play. Google had plans to take into consideration the Assistant to be summoned by tapping and hanging on the center, however has since for all time (by means of: 9to5Google) incapacitated the element because of security concerns.
Putting a finger on the left and right sides of the speaker brings down and raises the volumes, as you may anticipate. What's more, in conclusion, at whatever point you explore with your voice or contact, the Home Mini will light up four LEDs on its best to demonstrate that your activity has been enrolled.
Moving down to the lower a large portion of, the Home Mini highlights a small scale USB port on its back to give control (this android gadgets is without battery, similar to the Amazon Echo Dot) and a receiver switch that empowers you to kill undivided attention, making this a speaker that you'll need to tap to collaborate with.
Uncovering its base, you can see a roundabout elastic tangle to keep still on whichever surface that you put it on. Google furnished TechRadar with a coral (peach-shaded) show, yet the Home Mini is additionally accessible in chalk (dark) or charcoal (dark).
The Google Home Mini is the most reasonable Google Assistant-empowered speaker accessible and gratefully, its voice acknowledgment doesn't experience the ill effects of the lessening in size and cost. In the case of yelling from over the room or talking tenderly 10 feet away, the Home Mini yielded likewise awesome outcomes.
As far as what the Home Mini can take control of, the rundown goes on. You can put a call for nothing in the US (in the not so distant future in the UK), stream music through a variety of music applications like Pandora, Spotify, YouTube Music, iHeartRadio and then some. It can send a demand to pull up a YouTube video over to your Chromecast to easily start seeing. The Home Mini is likewise a keen home center point in that it can likewise coordinate with Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets from any semblance of TP-Link, Philips Hue, Wemo and that's just the beginning.
In any case, setting aside its savvy abilities for a minute, the Home Mini gloats an amazing arrangement of highlights that are accessible appropriate out of the crate for the individuals who can't be messed with chatting with your speaker or interfacing it with incidental administrations.
Interfacing is an easily get through the Google Home application and rushes to show you some things about the Home Mini, similar to how it works and assets that give moment access to a wide assortment of free sound substance. On the off chance that you need to exclusively utilize the Home Mini as an arrangement of Bluetooth speakers, the Google Home application presents blending settings, however they are fairly covered inside the application.
Once your cell phone is set up with the Home Mini, it's easy to start tuning in. Either give the speaker a yell for a few tunes, being as particular or unclear as you'd like, or simply hit the Cast catch close to the best to give your telephone free rule to drive its sound straight to the Home Mini.
Talking about Cast, Google's most recent speaker works best inside a horde of other Cast-empowered gadgets. In my studio condo, I gathered together a Google Home, a Chromecast Audio-associated soundbar and the Google Home Mini to manufacture an encompass sound setup. At the point when in this gathering, the Home Mini emerged as the star of the highs, pushing the vocals through additional hard when the bigger Home was more centered around the mids.
However, all alone, the Google Home Mini shouldn't be utilized as considerably more than a work area amigo. It's all that anyone could need in case you're just utilizing it to get a look at your logbook, hear the most recent news or telephone a companion with its free voice calling (accessible now in US, coming later in the UK). Be that as it may, in case you're searching for something that will dependably duplicate your most loved music, this isn't the best arrangement out there. This mini speaker can get genuinely boisterous, however there's no bass in the conveyance.
The Home Mini is like the Amazon Echo Dot in that it's Google's endeavor at getting the Assistant into whatever number homes as could reasonably be expected. At that, the sheer measure of capacities that the Google Home gets expansion to its chic, premium form and the low value make it a moment star.
In case you're in the market for a shoddy speaker, the Google Home Mini will do the trap for some. However, remember that it's best seen as a supplement to the Home family, not the establishment. This present gadget's claim to fame, beside being quite keen, is for the most part to compensate the individuals who are as of now inside Google's Cast-empowered walled cultivate with a modest, new gadget.
Truly, the Google Home Mini is not as much as a large portion of the cost of the bigger Google Home, and a large portion of its size, as well; be that as it may, it simply doesn't seem like we're getting a large portion of its execution – we're getting something somewhat less.

USFRA's Point of View
Antibiotics are one tool in farmers' and ranchers' overall animal care plan; which also includes proper housing, good nutrition and personal care and management. Farmers and ranchers who utilize antibiotics believe that not treating a sick animal with antibiotics that can cure an illness would be inhumane and could lead to the animal's death.
Additionally, farmers, ranchers and veterinarians – along with medical doctors in human medicine – must work together to preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics and minimize the potential for the creation of resistant bacteria.
Responsible use of antibiotics is important in all settings, including agriculture. Farmers, ranchers and veterinarians are legally and ethically obligated to follow the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) requirements for the use of antibiotics on farms and ranches.
Wanda Patsche, a Minnesota farmer, says "many farmers, like myself, use antibiotics when our animals become sick – as it's our responsibility to give them the care they need. Antibiotics help maintain animal health and thus, a safe food supply. Giving antibiotics are one tool farmers and ranchers use in an overall plan of good production practices to raise healthy animals for a safe food supply and – in my opinion, may be the only moral and ethical way to help our animals."
Here we will explore specific topics relating to antibiotic usage on farms and ranches, including antibiotics resistance, antibiotic residues, healthcare collaboration and next steps for maintaining a healthy food supply.

Hey you. Yes you, guy over there sitting at the computer. Are you bored with all of those Triple-A titles that the gaming industry is pushing on you? Are you tired of 1080p graphics and next gen story telling? Then do I have the game for you. Look no further than Poly Bridge, the over the top bridge-building simulator by Dry Cactus that allows you to create just the most ridiculous bridges ever known to man in order to get some guy on a moped over a body of water. In short, it is a beautiful waste of time.
In Poly Bridge you will be starting of on a 2-D plane and using wood, steel, cable, and hydraulic pistons to get a vehicle from one side of a body of water to the other. Things like weight placement, support and budget come into play as you try to stop the vehicles from taking a dive into the water below. Later on you have to account for things like incoming ships and make stunt jumps for stuntmen.
After a brief tutorial on how the physics function in the game you are thrown to the wolves. And by thrown to the wolves I really mean thrown to the wolves. There are multiple ways to accomplish each level. Your bridge only has to be able to support the weight of the vehicle that is going to travel on it and not go over a certain amount of money. Smaller vehicles mean that your bridge don't need to be that reinforced. This game taught me how to cut corners and still get the job done really quickly.
One of the best parts about this game is that it has no consequences. You build a bridge that doesn't work, just tear it down and try again. You can't fail the level, and you can only progress by building a bridge that works. This type of gameplay promotes creativity and free thinking. I found myself tying to me the most outlandish bridges at the budget given to me. Using every penny to make my creation truly marvelous.
This bridge building simulator is not without its flaws however, and my problem with Poly Bridge lies somewhere in the games design. The game has the habit of just throwing in incredibly hard levels in at random. The difficultly doesn't seem to scale, more like vibrate up and down. Also, if you are stuck on a level, or just don't something absolutely wrong, the game doesn't even hint at what the problem could be. I'm not one for hand holding in my video games, but for a game like this it would have been nice to be able to receive little hints if you wanted them. Some of the level are straight up punishing if you don't have a clue what you are doing.
All in all, Poly Bridge is a great time. You will be surprised what creations you are able to come up with. It is well worth the $11.99 on Steam right now. I would recommend this game for those who have a huge imagination or children. This is the type of game that would keep them entertained for hours on end.
Fun yet challenging
+ Art style is fun
+ Gameplay is addicting
– Levels can be too punishing
– Difficulty is random

It is said that the shooter at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh was concerned about "invaders" coming to the US in the migrant caravans. He thought Jewish people were assisting those in the migrant caravans and that was not okay with him. He was a deeply hateful anti-Semite.
Can you imagine what the members of the Tree of Life synagogue are experiencing right now because of one man's hatred? I can't imagine how devastating this would be for them, for anyone to be attacked in such a way, and to watch loved ones being killed.
I looked at his picture. He's white. I'm white. Obviously our ancestors crossed the pond at some point making both of us the descendants of invaders as well.
What makes someone like him the judge and jury of who can come to America for a better life?
Looking around at Trump's Christian fan base, they seem ignorant to the fact that our country is crumbling by the day. A portion of Trump's Christian fan base thinks other issues are much more urgent, such as those who would celebrate that Satanic holiday Halloween. I love Halloween, so take from that what you will.
My country becomes more baffling and broken each day. This hatred festering in our country has got to stop.

Weasel version 2.5 released
The Weasel mail server is now up to version 2.5. You can fetch it from
or from
or from Hobbes incoming.
For those who already have version 2.49, there are only two changes:
- Added option to reject mail that fails a reverse DNS lookup.
(See page "Options 1" of the Setup notebook)
- Changed the rules about the decision whether to use INI
or TNI format (see manual).
For those who haven't upgraded since version 2.4, there have been too
many changes to list here.
I strongly urge people to read the "Configuration" section of the
manual, because the rules about choosing INI/TNI files have changed
significantly. The new system is simpler, but it's different from
what you're used to.

I was given the opportunity to read a beautiful book, Bessie's Pillow written by Linda B. Silbert. Published by Strong Learning, Inc. I was so excited to receive my signed copy from the author and granddaughter of "Bessie", Linda Silbert.
Originally, I was going to read this at our spring homeschool co-op to our teens, this years 6-week subject is "Discovering America" & I was excited to add this twist to the usual suspects. Sadly, Life Happens. The past few weeks have been very hard on our family. We are going through some rough health issues and changes. So I am a bit late with this review but I am so glad that I picked up this book when I did. Since I didn't feel my own kiddos would understand, and I was also concerned with some of the topics touched on in this book, I chose to read it myself. What I discovered was eye-opening.
Bessie, aka Boshka was a survivor. She endured things we can not even begin to fathom this day in age. So, In this hard time of my life, the Lord has used this to remind me that things could be so much worse.
I really don't want to give away too many details, this book is just full of surprises and why read a book that someone has narrated. But to give you some insight, In 1906, in the country of Lithuania, at just 18 years old this young Jewish girl was more than tortured by the police who Czar incouraged them to do so. She decided to go to America and was separated from her family & home country but through it all, she succeeds far more than the odds stacked against her. The name "Bessie's Pillow" comes from a lady she met before leaving for America, she trusted her to bring this pillow to her son, Nathan who was already in America.
The pillow has a Yiddish phrase: May this pillow bring you peace.
As you go through the story you understand the meaning and depth of this pillow and the happy ending it brings.
As a woman, I was encouraged by Bessie's bravery and determination. This is one of those books where you can't put it down and makes you crave what will happen next. It will open the reader's eyes to the reality of immigration even as it stands today. Part love story, part harsh reality but overall an amazing look into this woman's life.The author does offer wonderful free online supplements & a teachers guide packed full of additional resources and links. I believe it was very well put together. It really allows you to connect with what the characters lives were like at that time. I love looking back on old documents and petty things that may not seem like much at the time to people. So I very much appreciated these things. I look forward to using these once my kids are a little older. Some things that stuck out to me: A Look into Bessie's America this is also included in that back of the book.
A video of Linda speaking about Bessie & I love the Family Album
I really like that the author included the "Afterward" so that readers are not left wandering what happened next to the characters.
Overview :
Rating: 4 Stars (On a 1-5 scale)
Age Recommendation: 13 & up
Price: $15 very reasonable considering the awesome resources & teachers guide.
Reading Level: 7th grade & up. Lots of advanced vocabulary words and topics.
Final Note:
If you like historical fiction, can withstand some sadness or are studying immigration during this time period I believe this book is a home run. There were a lot of real life sorrows in this book that would be hard for little ones like mine to understand. I think teenage girls would benefit from reading this.

Izzy Harris explores the tough reality for those living with separation anxiety
When you hear the words separation anxiety, what do you think of? Lots of people think of a nervous child on the first day of nursery school clinging onto their parents, or perhaps a dog barking at the front door after its owner leaves.
What a lot of people don't know, is that separation anxiety disorder is not just limited to children and pets, but in fact lots of adults experience it as well. t's more common than you might think.
Ever since I can remember I have struggled with separation anxiety, and I have first-hand experience of what it's like to experience this issue not only as a child, but as a young adult too. My greatest fear has always been something bad happening to my family when I wasn't there to control it.
What started off as a few tears and a lift home from a sleepover when I was seven, turned into panicking in classrooms at the sound of an ambulance siren when I was ten, which then morphed into Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (commonly known as OCD) when I was twelve. The thoughts were always the same, if I was with my family, I could monitor what they were doing, and somehow the risk of something bad happening to them would decrease. Is this sounding irrational? Welcome to the mind of an anxious person.
Through years of therapy and determination I managed to stop OCD behaviours from controlling me, and instead I control my OCD behaviours. OCD had almost packed it's bags and moved out of my head, leaving separation anxiety sitting stubbornly in the centre of my mind.
Whenever I heard a distance ambulance siren, I'd think What if my mum is in that ambulance? Did she fall down the stairs at work?
Whenever I saw a traffic report of a car accident on the motorway I'd think What if that was dad's car on his way to work? What if he was hurt in the crash?
Whenever I heard a bump upstairs at my grandparent's house I'd think Was that my grandma hitting her head? What if she's had a horrible injury?
Whenever my boyfriend didn't answer his phone I'd think What if he's been mugged or attacked? What if nobody saw and he can't get to the hospital?
And right after the thought, the physical anxiety begins; my heart starts racing, my chest gets tight, every breath is a conscious effort and I lose focus on whatever I'm doing, my attention shifting to finding out if the person I'm worried about is okay.
And just as the thoughts subside, or as I ring my mum to find out if she's okay, I hear or see something else that triggers the anxiety and the cycle starts all over again.
It took a while for me to realise that the horrible thoughts I was having was just the voice of separation anxiety and once I worked that out I could find ways of stopping it from interfering with my life so much.
Now when separation anxiety starts telling me that someone I love could be in that ambulance, I know it's just a voice that I can tell to be quiet.
Now when I start panicking about why someone isn't answering their phone, I turn around and politely ask separation anxiety to cool it and come back when I'm less busy.
Now when I get these thoughts, I know it's not me, it's just separation anxiety, so I rationalise and distract myself with writing or going on a walk or talking to a friend or watching something on Netflix. Eventually, separation anxiety gets the message and shuts up for a while.
My experience is common, in that lots of adults experience separation anxiety, however everyone who experiences it will have their own unique perspective and understanding of it, and it manifests itself in different ways.
Any questions? You might find the answers below.
What is separation anxiety?
Separation anxiety is a form of anxiety disorder. It can be described as when a person experiences excessive fear or anxiety concerning separation from those to whom the individual is attached Often the people the anxious individual feels most anxious about are family members, spouses or partners, close friends or children. When the anxious individual experiences periods of separation from the people they worry about, the anxiety they experience as a result may interfere with their daily lives and function. Common fears of those experiencing separation anxiety include the fear of someone they know or love dying suddenly, being injured, lost or ill.
Who is affected by separation anxiety?
Individuals of any age, race and socio-economic background can experience separation anxiety. It's true that statistically, more children and teenagers experience separation anxiety, however adults are less likely to report their experience of it which may affect the statistics we have on separation anxiety. Statistically, groups of adults that are more susceptible to separation anxiety include females, individuals who have a history of mental health conditions, individuals who have or are experiencing the death of a loved one and individuals with a family history of separation anxiety, however it is not limited to these groups.
What causes separation anxiety?
Like with most mental health conditions, there is not one sole cause of separation anxiety. Researchers have found that a combination of genetic, biological and environmental factors can contribute to the development of separation anxiety.
What are the signs of separation anxiety?
There are so many signs and symptoms of separation anxiety, mainly because it manifests itself in different ways for each person that experiences it. Saying that, some of the common signs include but are not limited to; nightmares about bad things happening to loved ones, frequently checking on loved ones, inability to do things that involve being apart from loved ones, or intense physical and/or mental anxiety when separated from loved ones, distraction from tasks, social isolation and restlessness.
What can I do if I think I'm experiencing separation anxiety?
As with most mental health conditions, with the right treatment and approach, the negative thoughts and feelings caused by separation anxiety can be greatly reduced.
If you think you are struggling with any sort of mental health condition, including separation anxiety, seeking help from a trained professional is a good place to start.
A therapist or counsellor should be able to provide expert advice and assistance with regard to coping with separation anxiety and should help to prevent it from interfering with your daily life. UCL offer services through the Student Wellbeing Office which is there to help any student struggling with issues surrounding their mental health and wellbeing. Websites such as Mind UK, Rethink UK and Sane UK have some really useful information about accessing help for anxiety and advice about what you can do to manage anxiety yourself.
The important thing to remember about separation anxiety, is something that applies to most mental health conditions – with the right treatment, and an awareness of what's happening in your mind, the symptoms and effects of separation anxiety do not have to dominate your life. Recognising that there's a problem is the first step towards managing your mental health, so if you think that separation anxiety is disrupting your life, talk to someone about it, research it and if you feel like it would help, seek professional treatment. Take control of your mental health. Don't let separation anxiety control you.
