Mavis Gary is the ghostwriter for a successful series of young adult novels entitled the Waverly Prep series. Lately, though, the books have been lagging, so the publishers have decided to cancel them. Mavis has almost finished what will be the last book in the series but is struggling with the last chapter. She is also struggling with more personal issues in her life: she has a drinking problem and longs to relive the glory days of high school, where she was a popular cheerleader and dating the resident 'It' boy, Buddy Slade.

Often vilified as one of the worst films ever made, Are We Done Yet? is far better than its pedigree would suggest. Mining the home improvement milieu has been done before, and if you've seen The Money Pit you know exactly what's going to happen here. Nick and co. will move into what looks like a dream house, but it will fall apart before their very eyes. A group of incompetant repairmen and contractors will attempt to save it. Nick will have a lot of drywall fall on his head. And the stress will cause much marital strife. The "original" spin here vs. The Money Pit: Suzanne is pregnant.

Are We Done Yet? is a follow-up to Revolution Studios hilarious 2005 family comedy Are We There Yet? and picks up where the last story left off. Now married to Suzanne (Nia Long), Nick Persons (Ice Cube) has bought a quiet suburban house to escape the rat race of the big city and to provide more space for his new wife and kids Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Daniel Bolden).

The awfulness of this movie is boundless. The scatological humor in the movie is already legendary, offering the big three: farting, peeing, and puking. The underage heroes are so reprehensible, I was nearly overcome with joy when they discovered their beloved father with another woman. Cube's character seeks counsel from a talking Satchel Paige bobble head, which is, well... adjectives fail me.

Much better than Meet the Fockers," this family-friendly film uses virtually the same batch of vomit jokes, pee jokes, slapstick, chases and exploding cars. But this time we have Ice Cube, who possesses a remarkable screen presence and star power, plus an ability to effortlessly switch from cuddly comedy to fearsome drama. Cube flows with the material instead of against it, immersing himself in it, no matter how embarrassed he might be.
He plays Nick Persons, a sports collectibles dealer who volunteers to bring two kids from Oregon to Vancouver to impress a girl, the children's mother (Nia Long). The flimsy plot arranges vague excuses to avoid planes and trains and get the trio into an automobile, so that the rebellious children can wreck Nick's fancy new ride. None of the film's major events are very funny or interesting, but Cube manages a few delightfully funny and charming small moments in-between the big plot turns.
Tracy Morgan provides the voice for a Satchel Paige bobblehead that advises Nick from time to time. Jay Mohr co-stars, and Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura from "Star Trek") makes a "special appearance."

I am, and have tried te be, a lot of things. But first and foremost I am a human.
I used to think of this as a weakness, something to overcome by putting up a well polished fasade as a professional, but I think differently now.
I've had to overcome many personal ghosts to get where I am today and I keep working every day to create an environment where I, and the people I work with, can feel comfortable and safe. An environment where it's easy to be you. That's what my photography is all about.

Scott Thomas glows in Claudels 'I've Loved You So Long'
(LONDON, England) -- To my mind, one of the advantages of a film where not much happens (as opposed to wham bam big budget explosion-fests) are the insights into characters and situations that can be revealed when the camera is still.
"I've Loved You So Long," by French director Philippe Claudel, is such a film -- an understated yet graceful study of a family thrown into awkward chaos.
Kristin Scott Thomas plays Juliette, a haunted soul with a dark secret that threatens to unravel the carefully constructed perfect life of her sister, Lea (Elsas Zylberstein).
Estranged from each other for fifteen years, Lea welcomes Juliette into her Ikea-decorated, 'Benetton'-colored, Volvo-toting lifestyle -- somewhat naively, in the opinion of her husband (Serge Hazanavicius). But slowly, we see Lea's faith in her sister bear fruit: freed from physical incarceration, and helped by others along the way, Juliette begins to release herself from her mental prison.
Kindness is perhaps the most underrated virtue. Claudel demonstrates a deft touch at portraying gentle, everyday events and above all else, the human kindness that protects and supports Juliette as she returns to life. And in a mundane setting, the director tackles some of life's biggest questions: is there room for rehabilitation when one has committed an act so terrible? Is redemption ever truly possible, even given the most promising of circumstances, in a case like this?
There have been Oscar murmurings around Scott Thomas's performance, and they're not undeserved: she brings a stillness and a malevolent wit to her role. I've always felt that her greatest strength is her expressiveness, especially with her body, and in "I've Loved You So Long," she speaks from her bones, spiking them with pain; her eyes a window on the fragmented tragedy Juliette desperately tries to mask. As her character walks a tightrope between salvation and despair, she switches fleetly between poised feline elegance and grotesque contortions, thrown up in stark contrast to her cosy, refined surroundings.
It's not just the luminous Scott Thomas, nor Zylberstein, who lets Lea's dogged love for her sibling shine through. The sets and the town of Nancy glow with a soft light, and likewise, though Juliette's backstory is one of despair, anguish and torment, Claudel suffuses her tragic story with hope. Far from depressing, "I've Loved You So Long" shows that love and laughter can bloom even in the darkest situations -- and that, no matter what, as long as we let it, life goes on.

We had lived in our 1880's farmhouse for seven years when we decided to move. Our son had just turned three, and we wanted to move before he started preschool. We lived in the country, surrounded by cornfields, and most of our family lived in the city. We wanted to be closer to them, and we were tired of the constant upkeep that an older home requires.
We found a Realtor and listed the house. We listed for three months, and, being an older home out in the middle of nowhere, it didn't sell. Since it was almost winter, we decided to pull the house off the market and re-list in the spring. Over the winter, we decorated the house for the holidays. We built snowmen with the mounds of snow drifts that are inevitable when you live out in the open fields. We stayed warm and cozy by the fire in our wood burning stove. We fell in love with our home again.
Spring came, and we had to make a decision about whether or not we were going to list the house again. Yes, some of the pipes leaked. Yes, the windows were drafty. Yes, it took an hour to drive to the grocery store. But that home had a charm about it. The architectural detail was phenomenal. The basement was built out of cobblestone. It was a great house. So, we decided to stay.
Then, a month later, a received a letter from our Realtor saying that the market was hot, and if we wanted to sell, now was the time. She had a client who was interested in our home and willing to pay well-above the assessed value. It was an offer that we just couldn't pass up.
Even though we had fallen in love with our house again over that long, cold winter, the benefits of moving closer to family and being in a better school district outweighed that love. The house is now loved and cared for by a wonderful new family, and that 1880's farmhouse is loving them back.

ITC Service Co. Sells Its Shares of EarthLink
Page 1 of 1
Valley, Ala.-based ITC Service Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of ITC Holding Company, has sold its 10,648,134 shares in EarthLink Inc. to pursue other investments.
In a statement released by EarthLink, ITC executives Campbell Lanier and William H. Scott III have resigned from EarthLink's board of directors.
ITC Holdings refused to comment on the sale.
Bloomberg News estimated the dollar amount of the sale of the EarthLink shares netted ITC Holdings about $97.5 million. The buyer of the shares was not made available by either company. The sold shares amount to 7.7 percent of EarthLink's stock.
ITC Holdings also has investments in Internet and telecommunications companies such as Powertel, Headhunter.net and AllConnect.
With ITC Service's separation from EarthLink, industry analysts might speculate the ISP as a prime acquisition target. Microsoft has been rumored to be interested in EarthLink for months, but a takeover seems unlikely, since the sold shares went to various entities.
Bloomberg News and The Atlanta Journal contributed.

The Anglo-Nubian, or simply Nubian in the United States, is a breed of domestic goat.
The breed was developed in Great Britain of native milking stock and goats from the Middle East and North Africa. Its distinguishing characteristics include large, pendulous ears and a "Roman" nose. Due to their Middle-Easternheritage, Anglo-Nubians can live in very hot climates and have a longer breeding season than other dairy goats. Considered a dairy or dual-purpose breed, Anglo-Nubians are known for the high butterfat content of their milk, although on average, the breed produces less milk than other dairy breeds.
Anglo-Nubians are large, with does weighing at least 135 pounds (61 kg) and 175 pounds (79 kg) for bucks. The minimum height of the breed, measured at the withers, is 30 inches (76 cm) for does and 35 inches (89 cm) for bucks. Like most dairy goats, they are normally kept hornless by disbudding within approximately two weeks of birth.
The Anglo-Nubian breed originated in England as a 1920s–1930 cross between the Old English milch goat and imported bucks, including Zariby and Nubian, imported from India, Russia, and Egypt. They have been exported to most countries from England. In the United States and Canada, they are referred to as simply Nubians.
Breed characteristics
The typical Nubian goat is large in size and carries more flesh than other dairy breeds. The Nubian breed standard specifies large size, markings can be any colour, the ears are long, pendulous and floppy and they have a very round nose, which is referred to as a 'Roman Nose'. The Nubian temperament is sociable, outgoing, and vocal. Because of its elongated ears and sleek body, the Nubian has a variety of nicknames, including "Lop-eared Goat", "Rabbit Goat", "Long-eared Goat" and "Greyhound Goat".
Breed standard
According to the American Dairy Goat Association, "The Nubian goat should be a relatively large, proud, and graceful dairy goat of mixed Asian, African, and European origin, known for high quality, high butterfat, milk production."
The head is the distinctive breed characteristic, with the facial profile between the eyes and the muzzle being strongly convex (Roman nose). The ears are long (extending at least one inch [2.54 cm] beyond the muzzle when held flat along the face), wide and pendulous. They lie close to the head at the temple and flare slightly out and well forward at the rounded tip, forming a "bell" shape. The ears are not thick, with the cartilage well defined. The hair is short, fine and glossy. Any color or colors, solid or patterned, is acceptable.
The Nubian's size makes it a very useful dual purpose animal. The Nubian breed leads the way for the dairy breeds in butterfat production: it produces on average, 4.6% or more butterfat content. This is surpassed only by the Nigerian Dwarf, Pygmy goat and Boer goat breeds, which are less likely to be used for large scale milk production, as for a dairy or cheesegoat.
Nubians are remarkable in temperate zones of agriculture in being able to deal with temperatures as low as 0 °F (−18 °C) with open faced shelters. They readily attach to their new human owners with simple neck and side stroking. Nubians love human interaction and will call for their owner.
While being stereotyped as vocal, they are relatively quiet when provided with food, water and shelter. Just like human infants if they are making noise, they are doing so to let their needs be known. Nubians are also sometimes classified as stubborn, but Nubians are simply highly intelligent animals who know what they like and dislike. Once shown the correct way as in being let out of its pen to be milked, a Nubian will walk itself, load itself and wait to be milked.

Best Swing Trade Alerts To Capture Maximum Profits!
When someone buys shares of a stock they usually hold on to it waiting for the best market conditions. Some traders will wait for weeks, months, or even years to get that perfect return. That rarely works since no one can predict what will happen in the future. Then there are other type of traders that are in a hurry to get a return. They believe their best swing trading strategies and end up coming in for a lost rather than a gain. Our swing trading alerts our different. The reason our swing trading alerts work because they follow very strict rules that take away the two main culprits of making money with trading and that is "greed" and "fear."
An Important Rule when Buying & Selling Stocks
One of the most important rules of our swing trading alerts is timing. The trades are executed at the same time everyday. This is an extremely important rule to follow and not to break from. I remember my day trading mentor said to me once,
"Don't be sad if you lost money, rather be happy that you didn't break your rule."
In deciding what stocks are the best to pick, we look at multiple positions of popular stocks at the end of the day. Then we use different indicators to choose the best stock to fit for our swing trade alerts.
How do our Swing Trading Alerts Work?
With our swing trade alerts there is no guess work when to buy and sell the stock. Our system is so easy to follow you can still trade even with a full time job. Around 3:45 pm ET you will receive a swing trade alert to purchase four different stocks. You can buy that stock any time from 3:45 to 4:00 pm which is great because it gives you 15 minutes allowance to buy the stock. With mobile technology it as easy as picking up your phone logging into your brokerage account and placing a trade. By the way with our service, we will show you the best brokerage company to sign up with no commission fees! After you buy the stock you place a sell order to sell the stock after the stock market closes. This can be done anytime after 4:00 pm ET till the next day when the market opens which is 9:30 am ET.
With our swing trade alerts and penny stock alerts you hold the stock overnight. However, our day trade alerts you are "shorting" the stock within the same day.
Great News...You Do Not Need to Trade
Since all our trades are held overnight there is no need to have $25,000 dollars which is a requirement to make pattern day trades. You are allowed 3 day trades per week without having $25,000. You will receive 4 stock picks per day for a total of 20 stocks to trade each week. Our swing trade alerts are sent out everyday and you hold the stock overnight and sell right when the market open. Commission costs can be expensive especially if you are making a new trade each day. With the average cost being $4.95 or more per trade that can easily add up to around $400 per month. However, the good news we will show you how to avoid paying any commission costs to save you over $4,750 per year!

BBQ - thanks to my mum we now have a decent BBQ, so this summer I'd actually like to have one. I love having a BBQ at the end of a long, lazy, hot day.
Make Sangria - it's been 8 years since my last Spanish holiday and therefore the last time I drank Sangria. I want to have a go at making my own this year, we have a big drinks dispenser so I want to fill that up with fruit and ice and spend a hot afternoon sipping that great Spanish drink.
Have a picnic - when we were at university, Josh and I would often head somewhere with a picnic, we haven't done that since so I'd like to pack up a bag with yummy food and head somewhere pretty.
Local walks - we've scouted out a couple of places in the local area we'd like to visit but typically we've spent the last year or so talking about these places and never actually made it to any of them. When we have so much spare time on our hands it'd be the perfect opportunity to head out and explore.
Plant flowers - this ones a little bit of a cheat as I've actually planted most of my flowers as it's best to do it at the end of the May but I've got some fox gloves coming my way from my Gran's garden. She recently passed away and I thought it'd be really nice to plant some flowers from her garden into mine. She used to have a beautiful garden when I was a kid so I thought it'd be a nice a little tribute.

Time for another edition of everyone's favourite game – 3 things!
3 things I learnt/realised/randomly thought about this week || no.3
#1 Nana's can be cruel
You know it's time to book an emergency hair appointment when your 90 something glasses-wearing-nana says:
"Oh look at those roots Anna. Are you growing your hair out to go back to your natural colour?"
Touché Nana. Touché.
#2 That I quite possibly have had too many failed relationships
'Nuff said really. Or if you now find yourself more intrigued read this for a laugh: The Tragically Failed Relationships Mix Tape.
<iframe width="420″ height="315″ src="//www.youtube.com/embed/LoX8_xeybEI" frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen>
#3 Mandarins are a sometimes food
It's mandarin season in Australia. I would like to warn everyone though that a mandarin is no substitute for chocolate during a craving. No matter what anyone tells you. (Stupid Nutritionists).
In fact, I think they should actually be eaten like this.
How about you? What things have you learnt/realised/randomly thought about this week?

Today, we cannot deny that the number of people suffering versus the people who are coping up with daily life is increasing. This situation produced many criminals, thieves and those who are very dangerous.
At most times, we can blame them for being careless of their lives but then – they just need money. During this times, it is best that we're equipped with the right safety electronics at home to keep ourselves secured in case somebody tries to get in our house.
One of the ideal items we should do as a consumer and as an aware person is to buy surveillance cameras so we can keep track of what's happening at home even if we're not there and if we are.
This way, we can find out the people going in and out our house and assess if they look safe or not even before they can enter in. At times like this, we should be aware of the people around us than be sorry.

by: Godsmack
Godsmack's first, slow-burning success -- the self-titled debut from 1998 -- spent two years climbing charts and selling records as the witchy minstrels of alternative metal wound their way across the country on two consecutive Ozzfest tours. The sound was familiar enough, recalling Alice in Chains in both vocalist Sully Erna's tortured howls and their very name, taken from that band's excellent 1992 release, Dirt. And while it initially failed to impress critics, fans quickly picked up on the band's industrial touch to the post-grunge sound. Likewise, 2001's Awake was regarded by some as a sophomore slump, with only half of the sales of Godsmack's debut, but "slump" in this case equaled double-platinum. And though the sales did validate the band's effort to some extent, Awake was full of growing pains, as they tried in vain to shed their influences and ended up with a record that had successful moments, but its reliance on stop-start rhythms often left it sounding sorely underwritten. Faceless, Godsmack's third full-length, grooves more fluidly than Awake, but the band still hasn't managed to locate the pop hooks that made their debut a success. And while concentrating on texture can be just as interesting as hooks, lyrics as misanthropic as Erna's only sink Faceless further into the mire. ~ Wade Kergan

1. Put your phone in the back seat
One of the most effective solutions is also one of the simplest: Put your phone in the back seat—or at least away and out of sight—in a spot you know you can't reach while driving.
2. Place your phone in Do Not Disturb mode
If you'd rather keep your phone in the front seat, use Do Not Disturb mode. This prevents the phone from ringing, vibrating, or otherwise notifying you of texts. If you use your phone for navigating while driving, however, text messages may still appear, depending on the phone.
3. Have your phone automatically enter "car mode"
iPhones with iOS 11 can be set to detect when they're in a moving car and automatically enter Do Not Disturb While Driving mode. This limits notifications and can send a customizable automated reply to let people know you're driving. Android users can download apps with similar functions.
4. Pick a designated texter
Traveling with a passenger? Put them in charge of the phone. Make sure they have some way to unlock your device, whether that means providing your thumbprint or sharing your passcode.
4. Use hands-free technology sparingly
If you do use the hands-free technology, bear in mind that according to AAA research, even hands-free, voice activated systems can be significantly distracting—hands-free isn't risk-free. Be sure to familiarize yourself with their limitations.
5. Wear a visual, physical reminder
For extra reinforcement when the urge to text while driving strikes, try a wearable reminder that can nudge you to make the right decision in the heat of the moment. (And imagine how you'd feel if you had a texting-related crash while wearing a "Don't text and drive" thumb band.) It doesn't have to be a purpose-built band—even a rubber band from the grocery store can be helpful.
7. Pull over
If all else fails, pulling over is always an option. Find a safe place to park (if you're on the freeway, that means exiting) and text away. Make sure whoever you're texting knows you'll be driving again once the conversation ends.
8. Let your family check if you're driving
Sharing your location with family and trusted friends through apps such as Find My Friends can cut down on common texts they might send while you're behind the wheel. Rather than asking "Have you left yet?" or "Will you be here soon?" they can check the app to see if you're on the road.

Enhancing recall and precision of web search using genetic algorithmREA AuditadoDue to rapid growth of the number of Web pages, web users encounter two main problems, namely: many of the retrieved documents are not related to the user query which is called low precision, and many of relevant documents have not been retrieved yet which is called low recall. Information Retrieval (IR) is an essential and useful technique for Web search; thus, different approaches and techniques are developed. Because of its parallel mechanism with high-dimensional space, Genetic Algorithm (GA)
has been adopted to solve many of optimization problems where IR is one of them.
Design and architecture of a stochastic programming modelling systemREA AuditadoDecision making under uncertainty is an important yet challenging task; a number of alternative paradigms which address this problem have been proposed. Stochastic Programming (SP) and Robust Optimization (RO) are two such modelling ap-proaches, which we consider; these are natural extensions of Mathematical Pro-gramming modelling. The process that goes from the conceptualization of an SP model to its solution and the use of the optimization results is complex in respect to its deterministic counterpart.
Employees Provident Fund (EPF) Malaysia: Generic models for asset and liability management under uncertaintyREA AuditadoWe describe Employees Provident Funds (EPF) Malaysia. We explain about Defined Contribution and Defined Benefit Pension Funds and examine their similarities and differences. We also briefly discuss and compare EPF schemes in four Commonwealth countries. A family of Stochastic Programming Models is developed for the Employees Provident Fund Malaysia. This is a family of ex-ante decision models whose main aim is to manage, that is, balance assets and liabilities.Tema: general:
Numerical quadrature methods for singular and nearly singular integralsREA AuditadoThis thesis is concerned with the development, design, and analysis of simple and efficient numerical quadrature methods for integrals on finite intervals with endpoint singularities, for integrals on the real line of steepest descent type, for integrals on finite intervals with branch point singularities near the interval of integration, and for integrals on the real line of Laplace type with branch point singularities near the path of integration.
In Chapter 1 we develop and analyse a numerical quadrature method, known as the
variable transformation method, for integrals on finite intervals
Adaptive methods for time domain boundary integral equations for acoustic scatteringREA AuditadoThis thesis is concerned with the study of transient scattering of acoustic waves by an obstacle in an infinite domain, where the scattered wave is represented in terms of time domain boundary layer potentials. The problem of finding the unknown solution of the scattering problem is thus reduced to the problem of finding the unknown density of the time domain boundary layer operators on the obstacle's boundary, subject to the boundary data of the known incident wave.
An investigation into using news analytics data in GARCH type volatility modelsREA AuditadoIn the work we study different dynamic volatility models. We consider the family of ARCH and GARCH models to compare the performance of the models using both unconditional coverage Kupiec's test and the test of conditional coverage proposed by Christoffersen. In-sample estimation procedure and out-of-sample evaluation will be based on General Electric stock market closing daily prices (January 2, 2008 - December 31, 2010). We consider different volatility models augmented with news analytics data to examine the impact of news intensity on stock volatility.
The frequency assignment problemREA AuditadoThis thesis examines a wide collection of frequency assignment problems. One of the largest topics in this thesis is that of L(2,1)-labellings of outerplanar graphs. The main result in this topic is the fact that there exists a polynomial time algorithm to determine the minimum L(2,1)-span for an outerplanar graph. This result generalises the analogous result for trees, solves a stated open problem and complements the fact that the problem is NP-complete for planar graphs.

Alright ladies and gents. Its officially getting to be last minute for buying Mother's Day gifts. Its ok, moms tend to be understanding. But just in case you're still at a loss of what to get dear ol' mom, here are a few ideas that go beyond the traditional candy and flowers.
For Moms of Infants
First, we need to make sure those little ones are taken care of. After all, a happy, peaceful baby is a great gift for mama.

Don't have time to go out to the store? Or maybe wanting to give something you made yourself? Here are a few ideas that are from the heart and will work if you're low on cash.
Ideas from Jacqueline Whitmore, founder of The Protocol School of Palm Beach
1. Create a custom gift basket. You know what your mother loves. Think of all the things she'd never buy for herself. Create a goodie basket filled with gourmet coffees, teas and assorted snacks.
2. Gift chore coupons. Create a handmade coupon book for your mom to use when she needs a break. Each voucher is good for a different chore. You could offer to do the dishes, vacuum, take the dog for a walk, wash her car, or make dinner.
3. Call her via Skype. You can still connect even if you aren't able to visit your mom on Mother's Day. Use FaceTime or Skype to get some one-on-one time from far away. She'd love to catch up and see your smiling face.
4. Make it a party. If your mom loves to socialize, throw a Mother's Day party. Coordinate with friends or neighbors to celebrate their moms too. Your mom will be able to spend time with friends and enjoy her special day.
5. Handwrite a Mother's Day card. Store-bought cards lack the personalized emotion of a handwritten note. Write a letter to your mom and share picture and a special memory. Let her know how much you care and how much you love her.
6. Make a family photo book. Gather photos of your entire family. If possible, reach out to extended family for their pictures. Then create a photo album or scrapbook filled with memories. Add your favorite quotes or family sayings for a personal touch.
7. Gift personalized jewelry. Instead of generic earrings, have the names of all your mother's children inscribed on a necklace or pendant. Or, create a charm bracelet. Handpick charms that represent memories from your childhood or your mom's favorite hobbies. One year my siblings and I gave my mom a ring adorned with five sapphire stones. Each stone represented each of her five children.
8. Make her breakfast. Whip up your favorite recipes and invite the entire family to spend a meal together. If you're cooking skills are not up to par, host a potluck dinner or brunch or order takeout.
9. Schedule time together. Give your mom the gift of time. Treat her to dinner at a nice restaurant, a cultural event like a ballet or play, or take her to the spa. The activity is less important than spending quality time together to talk and reconnect.
Celebrity Manicurist Skyy Hadley's Recipe for a Refreshing Cucumber Lemon Foot Scrub:
o Start with 2 whole cucumbers (one per foot), 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of olive oil; mix in a blender until pureed.
o Pour the mixture into a bowl and heat it up to warm temperature.
o Place half of the mixture in a large Ziploc baggie and half in a second baggie.
o Slide feet right into each baggie, rubbing cucumber mask until each foot is fully soaked.
o Leave on for 5-10 minutes then rinse with warm water.
o The cucumber is extra refreshing and reviving for tired toes, the lemon helps exfoliate and the olive oil deeply moisturizes for super softness.

Exercise and Osteogenesis Imperfecta
Exercise and osteogenesis imperfecta are perfect complements of each other. It has been found that immobilization of children with osteogenesis imperfecta after a fracture (or for fear of inflicting new fractures) causes additional osteoporosis. Therefore, it is vital for your child to practice some form of muscle and bone strengthening, whether it be through walking, swimming, or weight bearing.
It has been found that immobilization of children with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) either after a fracture or for fear of inflicting new fractures causes additional osteoporosis (or increased bone brittleness) and muscle wasting because of disuse. This also leads to more fractures. The joint laxity (looseness) associated with osteogenesis imperfecta makes the large joints unstable and adds to the danger of incurring fractures. Therefore, careful positioning and some form of muscle strengthening as soon as possible are very desirable. Never attempt to limit your child's spontaneous movement, because any activity will aid in muscle and bone strengthening.
As soon as your child's medical condition permits, you can encourage a full range of exercises, including swimming and weight bearing. Exercise can range from kicking and splashing in the bathtub to a full exercise program implemented by a physical therapist. Weight bearing can begin with propped sitting, head lifting, and partial weight bearing in the upper arms, and eventually advancing to standing and walking. Swimming is a safe exercise for children with OI and should be encouraged as soon as possible.
When your child appears ready to stand, you might consider lightweight containment-type braces for him or her. Braces are initially used with a standing frame or standing table. These devices hold the child who is wearing the braces upright in a standing position. It is hoped that standing will lead to strengthening of the child's fragile bones and, possibly, to long bone growth, thus giving these extremely short children a little more height.

I love to stroll around the neighborhood just west of my house. It's a vibrant area with great restaurants, lovely wine bars, leading edge art galleries – and a furniture store. However, this is no stodgy "sofas from my parents' basement" depot, nor is it a "build it yourself and hope you have all the parts" factory – it's a world of beautiful, practical, unique pieces, and I love browsing there as I wander the area.
As it turns out, the company, Gus*, is much more than just an artsy armchair outlet. In fact, as with many Small/Medium Businesses, there's a lot more than meets the eye. Gus* is actually a wholesale design house and manufacturer of fine furniture, creating inspired pieces and selling them through stores across North America and internationally. Moreover, if you can force yourself out of their super comfortable and eye-catching sofas, you soon see that there's a lot of technology behind the scenes. I always pictured this industry as starving artists with sketchbooks arguing over the merits of fuchsia versus vermillion. But in reality, it's a business like any other — a business that understands the value technology can bring to the work process, and a company that needs to get things done…fast!
Recently, Gus* was featured in a vignette about their use of BlackBerry® smartphones in their business. Curious to get a bit more background, I recently met with Dave Podsiadlo, the Partner/Head Designer from Gus*, who told me more about the company and how they are benefiting from a thoughtful mobile technology strategy.
Dave, how did you get into the furniture/design business – what inspired you?
I've always been interested in art and design. After high school I studied Industrial Design and worked at a number of firms before branching out to start Gus* with some like-minded friends. I'm inspired by many types of things – of course other furniture – but I'm also inspired by materials and processes. Not just finished products, but the steps along the way that result in the finished products.
Gus* has grown from operating out of the basement of a furniture store to a team of 60 employees who sell furniture to 150 retail stores. Can you tell me about that journey and how technology has helped you grow?
Technology has been a key component of our business from the beginning. Today, being able to communicate instantaneous information such as real-time inventory status, production changes, and new product launches has allowed us to build strong relationships with our retailers, suppliers, and customers. When we started Gus*, we realized that these relationships, and our timely communication of information to them, would be critical to our success.
You described your furniture as 'Modern made simple' – no bells and whistles. Why is this philosophy important to you?
In many ways, the design philosophy at Gus* reflects our own needs. Life can get very busy – often very complicated – and we feel that there's something appealing about design that helps to simplify your life in some small way. We believe that furniture should be beautiful without being "fussy". The simplicity of the design is actually just one part of it – we feel that furniture should also be simple and easy to find, easy to buy, easy to maintain, and it should adapt to changing needs. Gus* appeals to those that appreciate design and how good design can be a positive influence on your day-to-day routine.
You have partners, staff, and suppliers around the world in very different functional areas and demographics. How do you manage the diversity and volume of communication?
For Gus*, the key is to have tools that are versatile. BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™) is perfect for communicating among our design and production team because we're rarely all in the same place at the same time. We've found that most of our retailers and suppliers are on Facebook® and Twitter®, so social media can often be a more efficient way to reach them. It's always good to have several different options.
Speaking of social media, this is a big part of your communication strategy. How do you keep up with the barrage of information and engage effectively?
The only way to keep up with social media is to stay involved and to be part of the conversation. Mobile devices play a huge role in that, because they let you bring the conversation with you. Being able to interact with customers, retailers, and other designers through social media is invaluable to us. We get feedback not only about which of our products people love, but also what they'd like to see in the future, or ways that we can improve our existing designs. It allows everyone to be part of the design process.
You mentioned you use a BlackBerry smartphone as part of your quality control process – how does that work?
There are so many details that go into producing a piece of furniture, and our goal is that each of those details is realized with high standards of quality and consistency for each design. Woodworkers, upholsterers, welders – everyone involved has to get the details perfect. If anyone notices something during production that isn't just right, we can use our BlackBerry devices to communicate the concern and make necessary corrections before the design moves on to the next stage. Design is highly visual, and so we've found that the most effective way to communicate quality improvements is by taking pictures or video and forwarding to key people. They can immediately understand, respond, and react.
You're very passionate about the creative process and you describe joy as coming from the moment when you finally "see your idea realized." So I have to ask: What's your next big idea?
Furniture that supports Adobe® Flash®. 😉

Editor's note: This is a blog post from Kalpana Kumar Sharma, past Teach to Lead Summit Participant.
The Teach to Lead Initiative, a partnership of the US Department of Education, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and ASCD, has given me a platform to create a wave of health consciousness among teachers, parents, students and community. I have always felt that self-care is often forgotten amidst setting high expectations to be successful in the society. Teacher Leaders as Health Ambassadors trains individuals to become advocates and spread awareness of self-care for people in all walks of life.
My idea is to promote teachers' health creating awareness for self-care. There are many different ways to take care of ourselves in this fast paced world, but I have taken a few steps that have transformed my life. Now, I want to share my strategies and experiences so that SELF CARE becomes a priority for my colleagues. Based on my personal experiences, I have developed a comprehensive health program that comprises healthy eating & lifestyle habits, simple physical exercises, mental ,emotional and social health, and a Daily Five Minutes of practice.
Let me briefly explain the Health Ambassadors project, which is gaining momentum to put self-care in the driver's seat. The first presentation is on healthy intake habits which includes a few principles on how to deep breathe, drink water and eat healthy to stay fit. It is based on the knowledge that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between conscious food selection and mindful eating.
Next, the emphasis is on physical health. Now when it comes to physical exercise we always feel that we don't have enough time and I have felt the same feeling when I joined a gym and later a yoga institute. However, I learned a few yoga exercises which can be done at my convenience within the confines of my home or workplace and have a great impact on my overall health. Three powerful exercises which I practice every day to open all meridian channels have become favorites of mine and others in our program.
The third presentation is on mental, emotional, and social health. Our emotions have strong connections with physical health. We need to recognize the energy within and always try to maintain the vibrant energy which we all possess. Emotions keep changing and depend on various situations around us. How do we keep the balance within ourselves so that the negative emotions do not impact our physical health? I have put together a few strategies to quickly change our negative energy into positive energy.
The last presentation is on a daily five minute practice. I strongly believe that we must spend some time each day to improve our mental and physical health. For this I have put together a list in rhythmic order of a few selective things to be done on a daily basis to stay focused and positive.
I launched this Teach to Lead project in August of last year. Today, we have forty teachers, fifteen parents, and fifteen of our middle school students as health ambassadors at my school. It is my sincere hope that the Health Ambassadors program will promote healthier, happier teachers who in turn will promote healthier, happier, and more productive classroom experiences for students. The goal is to create the wave of health consciousness in all schools across the nation because every child need tools to create a healthy, happy and successful life.

A sewage spill in Cary, N.C., has been attributed to errors made by construction workers who were working on expanding the Swift Creek pump station.
The June spill led to millions of gallons of untreated waste ending up in downstream waters, and closed Lake Benson and Lake Wheeler for days.
According to the News Observer, a report stated that the workers didn't provide enough support for an underground pipe stub held in place partially by dirt. The pipe came loose on June 23, sending an estimated 8 million gallons of untreated sewage into Swift Creek.
The lakes were unavailable to boaters for more than a week.
Town manager Bill Coleman hired engineers from the firm of Brown and Caldwell to perform an investigation. They concluded that those involved could have done more to prevent the spill.
For example, the report states that construction workers did not install movement monitors around the pipe stub, which was required by the contract.
Town leaders have reported that they now have enough piping to create a system bypass if necessary.

Deborah Savage
Deborah Savage, Instructor of Equine Studies
Though her career only recently transitioned into higher education, Deborah Savage is a lifelong horse enthusiast and an experienced teacher. Originally from Lake Charles, La., she earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Texas and became accredited as a United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) Senior Dressage Judge.
For 25 years, Deborah worked in medical advertising and publishing in the New Jersey/New York City area, home base to many pharmaceutical companies. Eventually, she chose to leave this field behind to make better use of her dressage riding and teaching skills. "I have been teaching riding for many years and decided to pursue new opportunities in this area," she said. "I enjoy passing on my enthusiasm for horses in general and dressage specifically."
Deborah's search led her to Lake Erie College, where she joined the faculty as an instructor of equine studies this past summer. In her younger years, Deborah had evented, which includes cross country and stadium jumping along with dressage as a three-phase competition. "As I got older, I realized that I had difficulty switching between the jumping and dressage, and also, I just wasn't a great jumper rider!" she said. "I decided instead to focus exclusively on dressage."
Deborah's passion for dressage has only grown over the years, as it is the "haute ecole" of equestrian sports, meaning the highest form of classical riding. According to Deborah, "Not only is it beautiful, but it also involves tremendous theory to figure it out."
At Lake Erie, Deborah teaches Introduction to Dressage as well as Horse Care Practicum, Balance Seat classes and Facilities Management. The latter course is one she wishes she had the opportunity to take herself. "In between my medical publishing and riding career, I had the good fortune to help build a world-class barn in New Jersey," she said. "I sure wish I had a class in Facilities Management before doing that!"In the time she's spent teaching at Lake Erie, Deborah has grown to love "everything" about the College. "I love the school horses, the facility, the students, the faculty... all of it!" she said. Above all, Deborah's favorite part of the job is the opportunity to prepare students for rewarding careers in the horse industry. "The best thing is seeing the light bulb go on in a student's eyes each time they 'get it'!"

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, I feel as though I didn't stop throughout mine I must admit and suddenly it is the working week once again. Luckily the sun is shining though which always makes it a bit nicer! Hope it is shining where you are today.
My weekend was nice an packed out, on Saturday I took my die hard West Ham supporting husband to Upton Park for a stadium tour as a birthday present. You are split into two groups and then taken around by a former West Ham player for two hours while they tell you bits and bobs about behind the scenes and their memories of playing at the club.
You get to take lots of photos which is good, you go into the VIP boxes, Chairman's boxes and seats in the stadium, all the different club lounges as well as the changing rooms and interview rooms. Finally we ended up down on the pitch - well not actually ON the pitch as you weren't allowed on the grass - where you have your photo taken together professionally. You also have one with the player who took us on the tour - in this case it was Alan Taylor.
Finally, you head back to the lounge you started in for a pie and mash dinner, a quiz and a Q&A session. I am by no means a football fan in the slightest and do not know anything about the players, the game or whatever but I have to say I had a really good day, much more than I thought I would. Most importantly though, hubby had a great day which is what I had hoped for!
I loved that these players were so approachable and down to earth and that they were happy to chat to you and answer questions. It was a good day!
Once we were home, we decided to get into our comfy clothes and snuggle up on the sofa and watch a film whilst enjoying a naughty pizza!
On Sunday we went to get baby's buggy which was very exciting! We never thought we would see the day we would be eager to buy a pram but that has arrived and it was yesterday! We had a massive result too because thanks to researching online, hubby had found the travel system we wanted on offer with a couple of free extras. The place that was doing it was a pram company based in Wigan but they delivered to anywhere in the UK. The package came to the same price that the biggest children's retailers were selling just a basic package for. We tried our luck in Kiddicare and asked if they would be willing to match the offer we had found, I didn't think they would do it if I am honest but they did! I couldn't believe it. I am so so happy! We wanted to pay that bit more and get a travel system plus pay for a pram / pushchair that would last so we won't end up going through lots of them! We had seen the Stokke travel system a while back and hubby had researched it online and not read one bad review. Now we have one of our own, ready for baby! As I say, I do realise how sad I sound being excited about this!
After that successful shop we popped over to see hubby's cousin and her fiancé and their new baby daughter Layla who she gave birth to last week. She is BEAUTIFUL. It is so weird to think that she is here now as his cousin and I have been texting each other loads about pregnancy related stuff...one minute she is in bump club and the same b oat as me, not knowing the sex and the next, she has had a healthy baby girl. It was lovely to meet her and it has made me even more excited for our little ones arrival.
Sunday evening was sent chilling out, making the most of the last part of the weekend. It went so fast! The week's do as well though so it will soon be Friday again!
Hope everyone has a good one! x

Set in the year 2020 in fictional Empire City, COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists) includes the standard amount of technological advancements that probably still won't arrive for at least 50 years (if ever), but us kids weren't thinking about such technical details. It's essentially cops-and-robbers with tons of cool gadgets, tailor-made for
Hard to believe, but it's been over four years since Shout Factory unleashed COPS: Volume 1 on DVD, which contained the first 22 episodes and a modest assortment of vintage bonus features. Let's be honest, though: what other studio would bother to follow through at this point? Shout Factory has always stepped up to the plate regarding semi-obscure and niche DVD releases; they've even picked up the slack for Universal's abandoned 1960s-era Dragnet collections in recent months. In any case, very few fans saw COPS: Volume 2 coming, but there's been no preemptive announcement for the third and final collection. But for now, let's soak up a little more nostalgia with this three-disc follow-up, which includes the following episodes:
(21 full-length episodes on 3 single-sided discs)
Not surprisingly, these 21 episodes are very similar to those found on Volume 1; like most cartoons aimed at a younger audience, they're stand-alone adventures with a very specific formula. COPS always employed a larger-than-life style that fit in perfectly during the decade of excess: our characters (the crooks, especially) are colorful, over-the-top caricatures, not to mention the tools they use to get the job done. Typical episodes revolve around a ridiculous heist carried out by less-than-capable crooks, in the same way that Rocksteady, Bebop and the Foot Soldiers always manage to be outwitted by the Turtles. Five minutes before the credits roll, our heroes showed to deliver justice accompanied by catchy theme music and a few catch-phrases. It's a tried-and-true formula that gets the job done---and though the novelty may wear off during marathon viewing, it's more than tolerable when stretched out over a few weeks.
Episode highlights include "The Case of The Big Frame-Up" (Longarm's father, Mickey O'Malley, is framed for a robbery and must clear his name), "The Case of The Stashed Cash" (O'Malley helps the COPS look for $5M tucked away roughly 35 years ago), "The Case of The Big Boss' Master Plan" (a two-parter involving a presidential kidnapping), "The Case of The Iceberg Pirates" (Big Boss and company try to hijack an iceberg needed during a brutal heatwave), "The Case of The Lying Lie Detector" (technical problems plague the underused Bowser and Blitz) and "The Case of The Disappearing Dough" (Big Boss tries to destroy Empire City's money and replace it with his own brand of currency). Of course, no 1980s-era cartoon series would be complete without a generous helping of cheese, and COPS is happy to oblige: it's chock full of corny one-liners and plot holes, which pretty much comes with the territory. Luckily, even the unintentional comedy is amusing enough to keep things light and entertaining.
Oddly enough, one episode is absent from the proceedings: "The Case of The Crook With A Conscience", which most episode lists place squarely between "The Case of The Big Little Green Men" and "The Case of Mace's Romance". The reason for this episode's absence is unknown, but perhaps it'll show up on Volume 3 in the (hopefully) near future.
For now, Volume 2 arrives with considerably less fanfare than the previous installment; not surprising, given the franchise's four-year absence. Though the technical presentation and episode count are roughly on par with Volume 1, this stripped-down collection includes no bonus features and a slimmer packaging job. It also seems to be exclusively available at Shout Factory's online store (click the "Buy Me" link above for more info), which may limit its potential audience even more. Here's hoping the slowed momentum doesn't prevent Volume 3 from seeing the light of day. In the meantime, let's see how the caper came down:
Shout Factory is hit-or-miss with their DVD transfers, and it looks like COPS: The Animated Series is slightly below average. Presented in their original 1.33:1 aspect ratio, these 21 episodes exhibit a modest amount of dirt and debris during plenty of scenes, while the image is a generally soft and seems a bit oversaturated. All things considered, though, this series looks decent given its age, budget and shaky road to DVD thus far, so fans shouldn't be too disappointed.
The audio is also a bit thin at times, but this straightforward 2.0 Stereo mix comes through fairly clean and clear (and yes, the music is still pretty catchy!). Episode #12, "The Case of Mace's Romance", exhibits a notable problem, however: vocals are confined to the right channel instead of being split evenly, which tends to drown out the dialogue; additionally, there's a slight audio/video hiccup during the opening sequence. This is most likely an issue with the source material (UPDATE: it is, according to a source from Shout Factory), but it's certainly worth pointing out. Unfortunately, no subtitles or Closed Captioning options are offered during these episodes.
COPS: The Animated Series, Volume 2 offers 21 more episodes from this short-lived but memorable 1980s series---and even though it's taken four years to see the light of day, fans should sincerely appreciate the follow-up. Story-wise, these adventures are roughly on par with those from Volume 1, serving up plenty of colorful characters, chases, comedy and camp. Shout Factory's three-disc set is a relatively basic effort: the packaging artwork is plain, no extras are on board and the technical presentation has its fair share of issues. Problems aside, die-hard fans of COPS will undoubtedly want to grab Volume 2 to keep the ball rolling. Mildly Recommended.

Slow But Sure, Africa's Path To Democracy: [Bridled] Globalization, Education, and the Middle Class
Document Type
Africa! The word has been associated with poverty, greed, brutality and gangsterism. Why is Africa, particularly sub-Saharan Africa, still wallowing in poverty while the great mass of nations are moving forward, some taking strides while others making gargantuan leaps? Is there any hope that African countries will in large part become democratic? How do they get there? In this paper, I give a short historical background of how Africa has evolved over the years into modern day Africa in order to understand how Africa has come to be what, and where it is today. I make the argument that the only way by which Africa can attain democracy is by first and foremost having in place Rule of Law, however imperfect it may be. I further argue that consequent upon that, it is only the synergy of globalization in its controlled form, an educated populace, and a strong middle class that can be the catalyst, the fuel that can cause the essential ingredients of democracy to manifest itself in the society and eventually democracy take root. Lastly, I make recommendations as to how these can be achieved.
