On Tuesday, Feb. 22, a day that will live in infamy, my wife and I watched helplessly as hundreds of violators of the marine preserve plucked hundreds of fish from the ocean a short distance from the beach.
When they were sated they came ashore and rested on the rocks enjoying the early morning sun. Where were the California Fish and Game officers and the City Council to prevent this travesty? The occasional fisherman on shore could not inflict such slaughter in a 1,000 years.
The City Council needs to call an emergency meeting to ensure that the pelicans respect all regulations. As a last resort they could always be neutered.

Last week when my Mr. woke up craving egg mayo sandwich for breakfast, I spontaneously whipped up a clean & healthy version that ended up tasting even better than the calorie-filled classic. Husband's stamp of approval – check – so no, I'm really not bluffing.
As gratifying as it is, traditional egg mayo sandwich isn't exactly the healthiest meal in the world. I'm sure you already know that mayonnaise is unhealthy but you might not be aware of just how fattening it is. This universally loved condiment contains approximately 11 grams of fat and 100 calories per serving (which is equivalent to 1 tablespoon). It's easy to spread 3 or 4 tablespoons on your sandwich just like that. So imagine how much mayo are used in one of those deli egg salad sandwiches. They can contain up to or even more than 600 kcals and 6 grams of saturated fat each!
Just incase you're wondering, I didn't use low-fat or fat free mayo either because they generally contain additives and extra sugar to compensate for the lack of flavor. The creaminess of my egg salad comes from a combination of low fat yoghurt & organic tahini. As for the rest of the flavors? Scroll right down to the recipe below. Oh and you know what – once you're eggs are boiled, it takes literally 3-4 minutes to put together.
Before I leave you to get cracking (no pun intended), I want to stress that it's very important to buy good quality organic, free-range eggs. They are more nutritious and are free of dangerous chemicals & antibiotics. Studies have shown that when given access to a grazing pasture, chickens tend to produce eggs with more omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and vitamin E. One of my favorite brands is Hilltribe Organics. Their hens wander freely and their eggs are hormone-free, pesticide-free, antibiotics-free, chemical & synthetic additive-free. If you reside in Thailand, look out for their Beyond Organic eggs in all major supermarkets next time you're groceries shopping.
Recipe Type: breakfast, sandwich, refined-sugar free
Author: www.askinnydish.com

- 2 slices of Sourdough or Granary Bread
- 2 organic/free range Eggs (hard-boiled then cooled to room temp.)

- Mash the boiled eggs with a fork in a medium mixing bowl until they are broken to small pieces but not mushy. Set aside
- Whisk together yoghurt, tahini, honey dijon mustard, sumac, lemon juice, chili flakes, salt & pepper in a small bowl until the texture of the dressing is smooth & creamy.
- Pour the dressing over the mashed up eggs and mix them together with a spoon gently but well.
- Toast the bread slices and place 1 on each serving plate. Divide the egg salad into 2 halves and spread them evenly over each toast.
- Top with alfalfa and sprinkle over some chili flakes for an extra kick. Serve immediately.
Remember to go organic as much as you can!

About Team Magic
The Directors
Team Magic is co-owned by Therese Bynum and Faye Yates. Bynum and Yates serve as race directors at all events. Both Bynum and Yates are USA Triathlon Certified Race Directors and have served on regional and national committees. Team Magic is one of the nation's largest full-service Professional Multisport Event Companies.
Therese has raced for over 25 years very competitively and continues to top the master's ranks when she finds time to race. In 2006, Therese was 6th in her age group at the USAT National Championship and represented the USA at the World Championship in Switzerland by claiming 8th in her age group.
Therese was recognized as a leader in the Greater Birmingham business community as a recipient of the B Metro Fusion Awards in 2014. Therese volunteers with her 2 Pygmy Goats, Flanders and Clarine, supporting Hand in Paw with a unique human/animal connection through animal assisted therapy in many schools, nursing homes, etc. Flanders and Clarine are the mascots from the Team Magic CX series.
Faye Yates received her Bachelor of Engineering from Vanderbilt University in 1989, starting her career in Birmingham working with United States Steel. She started working with Therese Bynum part time in 1995 and made Team Magic her full-time occupation in 2002 with a focus on expanding the Tennessee races.
When not organizing events, Faye also enjoys racing, including many triathlons, marathons, half-marathons and one Ironman Triathlon. Faye also serves on the Advisory Board of Directors for Girls On The Run of Middle Tennessee.
The Founding of Team Magic, Inc.
Bynum conceptualized Team Magic in the late 80s when she owned and managed the Magic City Tri Shop in Birmingham. A racing team was established to help her organize and promote races in the budding sport of triathlon.
Yates moved to Birmingham for her first job post college and met Bynum when she bought her first tri bike at the shop. The two combined their educational backgrounds in exercise and engineering management and personal interests in multisport to unfold what Team Magic, Inc. is today.
Over time, the racing team evolved into a group of leaders that reside in Birmingham, Nashville and Chattanooga and serve to help Therese and Faye produce some of the most respected races in the southeast.
Current Operations
Team Magic originated in Birmingham, Alabama but is now based out of both Nashville and Birmingham and has strong ties on the Gulf Coast of Alabama. The company has been producing multisport events for thirty years in 2015. While triathlons are the main focus and make up the majority of the events, Team Magic also manages duathlons, running events, and cyclocross. Team Magic has worked with several running events, including the Marathon Olympic Trials hosted by the Mercedes Marathon and the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge in Chicago. Team Magic was appointed as race management for the 2007-2008 USA Triathlon National Collegiate Triathlon Championship. In 2008, Team Magic served as race management for the Tuscaloosa Tri-Palooza which included the Men's and Women's Olympic Trials Qualifier for the Beijing Olympics. Several Team Magic events have been chosen as the top destination races including the Mountain Lakes Triathlon, Alabama Coastal Triathlon, Kaiser Coastal Half Marathon and most recently Chattanooga Waterfront Triathlon. Team Magic regularly receives the honor of hosting championship events for USA Triathlon, including regional championships, national championships, and world championship qualifiers for the states of Alabama and Tennessee.
Team Magic Growing With The Sport
In 2001, Team Magic began expanding into Tennessee with the Powerman Tennessee Duathlon. In 2002, the first Tennessee triathlon was added and have continued to grow in the Nashville area. In 2005 Team Magic joined a partnership with the Chattanooga Track Club to bring new life to the long running Chattanooga Dam Triathlon, which is now one of the premier and largest triathlons in the southeast. In 2006, Team Magic took ownership of the 2nd oldest triathlon in the country, the Music City Triathlon, which relocated in 2009 to the heart of downtown Nashville.
In 2007, Team Magic developed a partnership with the Alabama Gulf Coast Sports Commission to develop the Alabama Coastal Triathlon, which is now one of the most successful events on the calendar. With the same partners, a half-marathon weekend takes place the Saturday following Thanksgiving in the same area of Orange Beach and Gulf Shores, Alabama.
Running Events Added
Team Magic now also holds more running events in addition to the Thanksgiving weekend Kaiser Coastal Half Marathon and 5k. Look for the Music City Half Marathon, 10k and 5k in downtown Nashville in March and the Mt. Juliet Holiday Half Marathon and 5k run with the Mt. Juliet Christmas parade, just outside of Nashville, in December.
Cyclocross Events Added
The original CX series in Alabama started over 25 years ago at Oak Mountain State Park. Team Magic owners Therese Bynum and Faye Yates, as well as several Team Magic members, participated in these races. We welcomed the chance to bring our style of race management to CX and offer a fun, adventurous series.
The Team Magic race calendar now extends from the Gulf of Alabama to metro Nashville. Events start in January and end in December. A lot of good times, fellowship and many reasons to make lifestyle changes that benefit not just oneself...also the many charites we will be supporting in 2018 and beyond.

WI--In a major victory for Milwaukee clergy abuse survivors, 7th Circuit Federal Court rules against Cardinal Timothy Dolan's transfer of $58 million dollars
Decision rejects first amendment argument, opens the door to determine if the Vatican and Dolan constituted the trust for purposes of fraud
Statement by Peter Isely, SNAP Midwest Director (Milwaukee)
Or Mark Salmon, SNAP Milwaukee director 414.712.2092
In a major victory for some 575 victims of childhood rape and sexual assault by dozens of Milwaukee Roman Catholic clergy, the 7th Circuit Federal Court in Chicago ruled this afternoon in a strongly worded statement that a $58 million dollar "cemetery trust" constituted by Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York while he was Archbishop of Milwaukee is not protected by the first amendment. The ruling could have major consequences for Dolan and the Vatican, since the court can now determine if the trust was fraudulently created by him and the Vatican before the Archdiocese declared bankruptcy four years ago.
The 7th Circuit overturned a previous decision by controversial Federal Court Judge Rudolph Randa in Milwaukee. Randa had barred any examination of Dolan's transfer of the money into a new "cemetery trust" before the archdiocese declared bankruptcy, essentially declaring that so called church "canon law" trumped US Federal Law in constituting the legality of the trust.
In a letter by Dolan to the Vatican seeking permission from the Pope to create the trust, Dolan states that, in part, the trust was being created in order to prevent US courts from compensating victims of clergy sex crimes. That means the trust was created for purposes of fraud, which would not only return the money back to the Archdiocese to be used to pay creditors in the current bankruptcy but also raises questions of criminal misconduct.
Finally, if Dolan had to seek permission from the Vatican and the Pope (then Benedict XVI) to create the trust, that clearly means that it is the Vatican, and not the Archdiocese of Milwaukee which is ultimately in charge of local church finances. The upcoming court examination, including the deposition one presumes of Dolan and, logically, top Vatican officials, even Benedict himself, could, for the first time, open the door to the long contested relationship between local bishops and the Vatican, most importantly, in matters of billions of dollars of church money and it's deployment in the decades long cover up of abusive priests around the globe.
SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world's oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. We've been around for 23 years and have more than 18,000 members worldwide. Despite the word "priest" in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers.

It's coming up to the middle of the year now and I thought it would be a good opportunity to post a little update and mid- year review of some of the projects I've been lucky enough to have come my way so far this year.
Tatty Devine
In January I worked with Tatty Devine, making paper flowers inspired by pieces in their new SS17 collection. It was a really fun project, I really enjoyed working with such a colourful, fun brand. I loved their jewellery pieces with their Wisteria necklace and Kimono Bloom brooch being two of my favourites. They also posted an interview with me on their blog and we did a joint giveaway together at the time on our Instagram pages.
Liberty London
In February I was commissioned by Liberty London to make 100 paper corsage flowers for them to gift with purchase at their pop- up shop in Tokyo. I made flowers based around an English Marigold, changing the colours for yellow, pink and a classic Liberty purple. I was thrilled to work with them as Liberty is a firm favourite to visit when I'm in London.
In March and again in May/June I worked with with the stationery brand kikki.K. Firstly I worked with them on their Mother's Day campaign, making paper anemone flowers in the colours of their new collection for their media packs and I also spent a weekend at their Guildford store making flowers for customers to receive as a gift with purchase.
Then in May I was lucky to work with them again, making a paper flower wall for their Chelsea Flower Show celebrations in Covent Garden Piazza. I made a peony flower wall backdrop for people to take selfies in front of, with kikki.K choosing to work in shades of pink and white. I also made ten large oversized flowers as props for people to hold as they posed for a selfie, along with a small display of flowers in their store window.
In April I also worked on a selection of forty flowers for a A/W 17 preview dinner for the fashion brand Uterque. I made a mix of paper Peonies, Ranunculus and Cosmos for this, and they were used to dress the table settings at the dinner. The beautiful tulips in the centre were by the amazing Flora Starkey.
It's been such a busy six months, a big thank you to everyone who has worked with me and my flowers!

Motivational Intaglio – Shelley Thorstensen
Dates: August 10-14, 2020
Studio: Intaglio
Tuition: $775 members / $825 non-members
Lab fee: $75
Class limit: 6
Each morning, Shelley will begin the workshop with a series of demonstrations including ways of using color and printing. She will cover stencils, a la poupé, chine collé, viscosity, multiple plates, relief, collage, and digital media. Using participants' current work and ideas as a catalyst, Shelley will work with everyone individually to discover what aspects are vital to their work and how to successfully explore and expand their visions.
This workshop allows participants to incorporate new ways of working into their artistic practice. Shelley will organize this period to further examine your work and mindset. She will cover material specific to each participant, while also encouraging a further understanding of etching. Artists will learn how to seamlessly incorporate handwork such as drypoint and mezzotint on various substrates; editioned monoprint; paper and polyester photo litho; hand-worked and photo based collographs; photocopy transfer; handmade rubber stamp patterning for chine collé; and registration systems that are best suited to individual needs. Shelley will also address possible considerations for content, scale, series, multiplicity, format, paper choice, and available matrices.
Shelley Thorstensen
Shelley Thorstensen has expertise in all printmaking techniques. She is a fount of technical knowledge when it comes to color. She is a master of not only transmitting that knowledge, but of recognizing her student's strengths and artistic direction. Her work is part deep personal archive, part printmaking evangelism, woven together in fabric of color, metaphor and commentary.
Art critic Edward Sozanski wrote of her work "The ease with which she combines these processes and exploits their individual strengths gives her prints uncommon presence and, more often than not, transcendent beauty." Upcoming solo shows include College of the Sequoias, Visalia CA (March 6 – April 6) and The Delaware Contemporary Museum (October 2018). Recent solo shows include As Above, Union Art Gallery, Wagner College Gallery, Staten Island (2016) and Field Study: The Scheme of Things Anderson Print Gallery, University of the Arts, Philadelphia (2015).
Shelley currently teaches in the graduate programs at UArts. Her work can be seen at Dolan/Maxwell and is collected across the US, Europe, and Japan. She is a past president of the Society of American Graphic Artists (SAGA).

A Lincoln Town Car isn't the most ridiculous car to do an autocross with, but it's not the first one you'd imagine doing one in. But it looks like fun here for the driver and for those on the pavement. Less so for passengers.
Actually, watch it enough times and the body lean starts to make you feel sick. Can you believe there were four people in this car at the Clemson Autocross last weekend. Driver Dorri Williams finished 48th out of 59 entires, though.
And just look at it go!
Thanks for tip, Dorri!

There's a chill in the air and dew on the grass every morning now. I could get behind this change in seasons if the afternoons would stop being 80+ degrees. :) Either way, the mornings are a great time to play outside.
Since Jocelyn still isn't walking well yet, she gets completely soaked crawling through the wet tall grass out in our backyard. We've taken to playing out in front instead. Bubbles, tunnels, balls, and side walk chalk occupy little ones.
Normally I leave pictures of my babysitting kids off my blog out of respect for privacy, but their mom allowed me to put these same images on FB, so they are already "out there", if you know what I mean.

Marriage & Money Workshop — Wednesday, April 5th, 2017
Swedish Cultural Center
1920 Dexter Ave.
Seattle, WA 98109
Wednesday, April 5th, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
$75 per person, $100 per couple
Dinner and refreshments included
Call (206) 556-4502 or email email@example.com
More than just Budgets and Joint Bank Accounts
The Marriage & Money course goes well beyond traditional financial guidance - with segments from professionals in the fields of finance, education, mediation, therapy, and law. Participants in the program will benefit from:
- Assistance with understanding their current cash flow, and how it impacts budgeting
- Advice on finding the right financial strategies for both day-to-day living and retirement planning — and how to best execute those strategies
- A detailed overview of common issues faced by married couples, such as communication challenges
- A questionnaire for each spouse to illustrate attitudes about money
- A sample cash-flow analysis, balance sheet and financial plan
- A list of resources, including financial planners, CPAs, estate-planning attorneys, etc.
No Sales, Just Insight
This program is designed so couples learn about financial issues without sales pressure. Participants can utilize their new knowledge to begin addressing these issues on their own, or find a trusted professional to help on their journey.
The average age of engaged couples today is +30, as people are getting married later in life, and a growing number of people marry more than once. This means partners enter their relationships with more "stuff," like: Established Careers, 401(k)s, Real Estate, Insurance, Employee Benefits, Stock Options, Businesses, and—perhaps most importantly—an established money value system.
These aspects are typically beyond the themes addressed in marriage counseling. The Marriage and Money workshop was specifically developed as an extension of pre-marital counseling that some couples receive before marriage.
Our goal is to help couples simplify their life merger by breaking it into digestible pieces and helping couples build a roadmap for financial success—together.
Not Just for Engaged Couples
Marriage and Money isn't only for engaged couples or newlyweds. The program is relevant and useful for:
- Already-married couples
- Expecting parents
- People preparing for career or business transitions
- Couples looking to retire soon
- Individuals and families seeking assistance with family-care planning.

Implemented entire vision component for new gaming platform and integrated this into their proprietary SDK and design a completely new API for their entire SDK.
The platform revolves around computer vision. Both for LED color light tracking and virtual touch/motion detection/ gesture which we provided.
This had to perform on a Cortex A9 device with a single camera.
Architected an API to allow external developers to write game titles using the Vision Libraries we wrote.
David Perkinson VP of Worldwide Content at LeapFrog Enterprises
What I would point to is the fact that these platforms exist at all. The fact that LeapTV made it into the marketplace last year, with all of the functionality that we had wanted it to have, is a testament to not only their raw development ability but also the teamwork and collaboration that they bring to their projects, the level of communication that they bring to their projects. LeapTV especially was a really challenging project, and their role in it was so central to the success of the platform. The fact that it's in the marketplace, I think, is a testament to their skills. It was an ambitious undertaking and we couldn't have done it without them.

When Buck Owens went to Carnegie Hall in March 1966, he was at the peak of his popularity and his powers. Yet he was ambivalent about the invitation he had received to play the great hall due to a fear that there weren't enough country fans in Manhattan to make the show a success. He was persuaded to do the show in part through a promise that the show would be recorded for release; this record, the first of a string of live releases by Owens, was the result.
This is the second digital reissue of the Carnegie Hall record. Like the previous reissue, this one includes the complete concert, but it parts ways with its predecessor in restoring the original stereo sound and artwork (worth having just for the photo of the fabulous canary yellow suit Buck is sporting on the cover). The record makes clear that Owens and his Buckaroos were pulling out all the stops that night and making sure that they lived up to the honor of the event. In response to a shouted request for "Tiger By The Tail," Buck assures the audience that "we're gonna do it, we're gonna do 'em all," and he delivers on the promise: the evening's repertoire is largely his biggest hits, starting with "Act Naturally" - his first number one - and he manages to include at least medley-references to all but 1 of his 10 number 1 hits to date. However, their serious purpose doesn't preclude a good deal of clowning by the band, including a Beatles impression (complete with wigs), with Don Rich handling the vocals on "Twist and Shout" (a cover that doesn't appear on any other Owens release).
The Buckaroos' playing is inspired, and Rich's harmonies are flawless and remarkable. The only drawback is its reliance on medleys; while they allow the band to do at least tidbits of a greater number of songs, those tidbits often serve only to tantalize. It'd be nice, for example, to have full-length versions, rather than excerpts, of "Above and Beyond," or "Excuse Me," or "Foolin' Around" with Rich singing harmony (since Owens did all the vocals on the studio versions).

Most dissertations are about fairly boring, highly specific subjects. To make the writing process more exciting, students should pick a title that really interests them.
They should write out an engaging, unusual thesis that they actually care about writing. In addition to making the writing process easier, picking an interesting title will also make the paper much more enjoyable to read.
For such a long writing project, a schedule is a must-have for every student. Each student should set guidelines for completing the research and outlining their project.
They should also make sure that the schedule's deadline for the first draft leaves them plenty of time to edit and correct the document.
Writing Dissertation in 6 Simple Steps
Creating a dissertation is never simple. For students to get their doctorate or master's degree, they must finish this document and have it accepted by an academic committee. To simplify the process, students should use the following eight steps.
Decide on Word Count Goals
Once the student is prepared to begin writing their paper, they should set a word count goal for each day. By having this goal, the student can easily see if they are on track to complete the first draft. In addition, a word count goal helps to make the writing process easier and more manageable for the student.
Choose Research Methods Early
For some subjects, research will be a difficult part of the dissertation. Science students may have to begin clinical research immediately in order to complete their paper within four years. For history students, research may need to be conducted at far off libraries or archives. To make sure that these research projects are funded, students will have to decide on how the research their paper immediately.
Organize Each Source
To make citations easier, students should keep track of each source in a separate section of their folder. They may want to organize their notes according to the subject, the source or the part of the paper that it will be used in. By using a thorough organizational system for notes, students can reduce the amount of time that they spend writing. Students should also list the page number that they found each piece of data or quotation at. In addition to making citations easier, this will allow the student to easily find the quotation in the text.
Get Help
Before, during and after writing the paper, students will need to get help from the people around them. In general, most academic advisers will have a set period of office hours that the student can attend. During this time, students can ask questions, get help with research or submit their paper for feedback. Very few students are able to create a dissertation entirely alone, so getting help is an expected part of the writing process.
Hire an Editor
Most students are unable to edit their own work very well. The human mind sees what it intended to write instead of what is actually on the page. Due to this, many students will actually hire a professional editor online. Although this step costs money, it ensures that the student has a professionally edited document.

"Hanyma, a spirited young woman from the remote village of Kepler, is at a crossroads in her life. She wants to explore the unfamiliar, wide-open country outside her croft. But rumblings of dark, inexorable forces terrorizing the sparsely-populated continent dampen her aspirations.
That was before devastation gripped her. Now, driven by a wandering quest for vengeance, the headstrong survivalist struggles to combat a band of vicious marauders while simultaneously trying to comprehend all the strange phenomena discovered amidst ruins of technologically-advanced precursors.
Before long, Hanyma is thrust into circumstances beyond her ability to control, and she must team with an unlikely ally from a far-gone past who is determined to complete a mission of global importance. Whether that mission succeeds or not may well depend on the callow wayfarer from Kepler. Can Hanyma put aside her bloodlust when the fate of humanity beckons? Will it matter when pitted against the crushing weight of a powerful, inscrutable enemy?"
Review: I think one of the greatest letdowns of a science-fiction book can be the fact that some authors prefer to focus more on the science factors of their novel and ignore the story and the characters in its favor. Luckily, Waves of Reprisal does not suffer from this particular fault. A lovely Sci-Fi novel set in a dystopian world, Waves of Reprisal does not overwhelm you with technology, instead focusing on delivering its message to the reader. Written in an easy and faced paced way, the novel is a beautiful blend of fast-paced action, tense moments that keep you on the edge and vivid descriptions that allow you to imagine everything to the last detail as you read.
The character who spoke to me the most was Hanyma, a brave young woman and the main character of the story, who lost her family during a marauder raid. Instead of giving up and refusing to go on, she takes charge of her life, uses her grief and twists it into anger, allowing it to fuel her determination to avenged her loved ones. However, as the plot develops, she does not remain locked in a neverending cycle of vengence, instead developing, learning to look past her anger and staring to think on a grander scale.
All in all, Waves of Reprisal is like a breath of fresh air in the sea of science-fiction novels that seem to all follow the same trend. Intriguing, engaging, with a solid plot and well developed characters, it is definitely a book I recommend.

"Tell 'Em" by Sleigh Bells
"Teenage Myth" by Treasure
"Pickled!" by Flying Lotus
"Born Free" by MIA
Warning: this music video is violent and graphic
"Beautiful People" by The Books
Release dates were announced for what will be two of the coolest music releases this year.
It was announced last week that Animal Collective's Oddsac will be released on dvd, on June 29th. That's kind of a ways away. I'm still hoping it will come to a theater nearby so I can see it.
Also, news broke recently that Sleigh Bells is set to release their debut album called "Treats" on MIA's NEET label. The release date is May 11th.
Mark your calendars guys and gals.
Space Odyssey-MIA
MIA recently released this song on her twitter. Judging by this song, MIA's next album should by quite different then Arular and Kala. It does sound a lot more Animal Collective, but I like that.
Tunnels by FUR
This song is like a psychedelic hip hop party jam. This song is from FUR's album, Witches, which is being released February 23rd of this year.
Chase the Tear by Portishead
This is a song the Portishead released for the charity group Amnesty. I really like their album, Third and it looks like they might have a new album coming this year.
Vulture by Micachu via http://www.foeweel.com/
This week, I found this band called Micachu. They have unique vocals and a unique use of electronic, percussion, and stringed instruments.
White Sky by Vampire Weekend via Poptartssucktoasted
Vampire Weekend released their sophmore album last week, and this is probably my favorite song off of it.

For some strange reason I decided to turn Kevin and the Seven Lions into an audio book. My thinking was that as a first grade teacher for years I would have a listening station in my room. Even in the older grades there are audio versions of stories for older kids. This year I listened to the audio version of Zathura by Chris Van Allsburg with my fifth graders during a lesson on visualization.
I have also read that when a book has an audio version listed with in Amazon it looks more professional.
Then there is the idea of different revenue streams, with one story I can sell it as a Kindle version, a paperback, and an audio version. One story, three different ways to sell it.
To get this done I went through ACX, which of course is an Amazon company. You post the project in ACX with a description of the project, a script for auditions, and post your budget. You can also share revenue with the audio book producer instead of putting up cash. I prefer not to do that, but sometimes it be the only possible option.
When I put up the audition script I got tons of, as in, 40 something, auditions to listen to. I'll tell you, after coming home from the day job, it is quite something to have other people come and compete for your attention.
But listening through the auditions was enjoyable, but way more difficult then I expected. Many people were very qualified to read the book. Listening to other people read my work gave me chills. That alone was worth the trouble.
Getting the right vibe of the story was important to me. I realized quickly that since the story revolves around Kevin, a boy, that I was going to need a male voice. I didn't realize that when I was setting up the project, but after the first couple of female voices tried out I realized I was going to need to go with a male voice. The story is about boy and all of the day dreams inside of his head. A male voice made more sense.
I choose Ron because in his audition he automatically got the pacing of the story, and that was awesome to see. And in some strange way his slight New York accent just brought another level of texture to the story.
Once I chose Ron to record the story, we agreed to a schedule of when the first 15 minutes of the story was due. In this case, that would have been the whole story, as it is only about 12 minutes. Once I got the first draft, I listened and then sent my notes back. He quickly finished it up and got the final audio back to me.
ACX then does a final quality check of their own before it can go on sale. And that takes several days to weeks. That is the part that is very different from the KDP experience. But once it does go on sale, it is for sale in three different places, Amazon, Audible, and iTunes.
ACX though has recently lowered their royalty rate. Hugh Howey has a great post on the potential problem that may cause. In my opinion it is one of the few screw-ups on Amazon's part.
But even with that, creating an audio book version is something to seriously consider as a way to promote your work.
Kevin and the Seven Lions is now a story written by guy in Virginia, illustrated by a woman in England, and narrated by a guy in New York.
I love the 21st century.

I was recently in Target, browsing through the e.l.f beauty section in an attempt to purchase their acne fighting foundation (and they were out of stock, as usual). As I was exiting the aisle, these molten liquid eyeshadows from their Aqua Beauty range caught my eye. I had a brief internal struggle about the blessings of frugality vs the joy of makeup, and then threw all of the shades they had in my basket.
Part of what really drew me to this product was that I have never used a liquid eyeshadow before. And the other part was that the shadows were only $4 each! The backs of the packages claimed that the shadows give a "vibrant, metallic look", and that they are "infused with Purified Water and Vitamin E to help hydrate." Sounds like a great deal!
The instructions say that they should be applied to your bare eyelid, using the applicator. You are supposed to blend quickly, before the shadow dries. The first thing I did once I got home was test one to see how long it takes to dry. It turns out it takes 30 seconds to completely dry down, but that it is most workable within the first 15 seconds. Then, I wanted to see if these would work better when paired with a primer. So, I opened the shade Rose Gold and applied one swatch over my Too Faced Shadow Primer, and the other swatch over bare skin. The shadow does seem to perform better over bare skin.
The top swatch is over the primer, and the bottom swatch is over bare skin. I had to keep dipping the wand back in the container to touch up the top swatch; it kept sliding around my skin. Because this is a liquid formula, I don't think it bodes well with a slick primer.
Next, I swatched all three shades on my other arm. Top is Liquid Gold, middle is Burnished Copper, and bottom is Rose Gold.
I was pretty disappointed with the consistency and pigmentation of the Liquid Gold and Burnished Copper swatches. I used about three layers of each, and they were STILL patchy! The Rose Gold (bottom swatch) was done with only one layer.
Next, I tried each of the shadows on my eyes.
The Liquid Gold one was awful. There was next to no color payoff, and it was entirely unblendable. I tried blending with my finger and with a brush, and it just comes right off. Patchy and not metallic at all. I do not recommend purchasing this shade.
The Burnished Copper was only slightly better. The pigmentation is a lot better with this shade, but it still is extremely patchy.
Rose Gold was definitely the best one of the three! It is a beautiful metallic color, and makes my eyelids feel very hydrated. It did take a couple coats to build it up to this color and consistency, but I can see myself using this again. I decided to work this shadow into my next makeup look:
Even though I do think the Rose Gold liquid molten eyeshadow gives you decent value for only $4, save your money if you are looking for a great product. I hope you enjoyed this review!

For the first issue of the diplomatic Club of Lomé, this January 19, 2017 Club, the general concern has focused on counterfeit drugs and their effect on health in Africa.
"The smuggling of fake medicines is now an underlying factor to the laundering of money and other traffic. Beyond the threat to health public, this traffic is a real threat to the security of African States, given established networks in these areas". That one of the consequences mentioned yesterday by Dr. Innocent Kpeto, president of the order of pharmacists of Togo, guest of honour of the diplomatic Club of January 19, 2017, the first of the year under the chairmanship of Professor Robert Dussey and with al moderation of the who resident representative in Togo Dr. me BOA Lucie.
For the first time, the Club came out of the geopolitical issues prevailing in the world to address a topic of concern for health concern, even beyond the fight against the drug trafficking.
Other consequences
According to Dr. Kpéto, citing several sources, there are 800,000 deaths each year due to the use of these counterfeit drugs. An information documented by the World Health Organization.
Crime, double, people remain hungry, for medicines, and finally themselves with fake
These are generally dose drugs, deaths by intoxication, behavioural disorders (the case of the tramadole on the zemidjan in Togo is cited as an example)
The scope of the topic.
10 percent of drugs in circulation worldwide would be fake, then in Africa and in poor countries, this increases to 40 to 60 percent. But generally on the Internet and the media, it's 50 percent of drugs in circulation in Africa that are 'fake'.
The circuit is very strict and even lucrative. According to Dr. Innocent Kpéto citing the World Customs Organization and the IRHCM, he would win more than 75 billion dollars a year to their players.
Also ' for 1 dollar, a drug dealer would win 10 to 20 fraud while making counterfeit drugs counterfeiting would win 200 at most $ 400'. They come between 50 and 70% of the India and China according to the World Customs Organization, these countries that also come from most of the good drugs recognized as such today. It's a paradox.
Several referrals through operations in ports in Africa unfortunately confirm this fact according to Dr. Kpéto who encourage the fight against the phenomenon in all the States of Africa. The CDL has called president, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Togo, Prf Robert Dussey to engage subregional advocacy for the fight to be collective.
In Togo, although the sale of drugs at the edge of the road continues to climb in figure, public power don't quite close your eyes.
Dr. Kpéto has reminded the audience the fruits of some operations to success. He cited the operation Cobra in October 2011, allowing to enter 7 tons of drugs in a week, other 9.2 tons seized in three days thanks to the Porcupine operation, seven 2015 and a the police operation which allowed to seize 22 tons of drugs transported in trucks from AKI always in 2016.

it's finally spring here, thatcher. trees are budding, flowers are growing, the sun is shining. when you tell people you were born in spring of 2013, they will probably tell you stories of the never ending winter, stories of snowfall in may.
it was a never ending winter, but it taught me again things don't go to plan. you see, when i found out you were due in january, i thought it would be perfect for my maternity leave. hibernate a little in those first few weeks, and then enjoy the sunshine, go on walks, be outdoors with you. we hibernated a lot longer than the first few weeks, and it taught me to slow down with you and just enjoy those snuggles. walks can wait. snuggles on a snowy day? the best.
your dad gifted me with four fruit trees as a push present and valentines gift, and we planted them this week. it will be fun to watch them grow with you. it reminds me that we were created to grow. i see it daily in you. you're growing like a weed, little one.

Three black students who faked hate crime….get probation
(National Sentinel) Fraud: You would think that as hysterical as Leftists are about hate crimes – those which merit extra punishment due to the mind-reading capabilities of some courts and juries – they would be up in arms demanding justice from three fraudsters who faked a "hate crime" in order to gin up hate for political opponents.
Just injustice.
As Breitbart News reports, three black female students who attended the University of Albany in New York were essentially given wrist slaps – probation – after fraudulently claiming they were assaulted by 'white racists' Jan. 13, 2016.
Former students Asha Burwell and Ariel Agudio are the final two to face sentencing for the alleged false hate crime report. Both received three years of probation and 200 hours each of community service…
Along with student Alexis Briggs, Burwell and Agudio alleged that a group of white men attacked them on a bus. The women charged that they were called the N-word and verbally assaulted. They also engaged in a physical confrontation with some of the bus riders but claimed the others started the incident.
The so-called hate crime was whipped into a frenzy on the Albany campus and even sponsored the Twitter hashtag campaign, #DefendBlackGirlsUAlbany. At one point, NFL players and rap singers joined the activism to decry the attacks on the three students. Even Hillary Clinton jumped in to make political hay off the purported hate crime.
And of course the alleged attack drew in all the usual suspects: Black Lives Matter speakers, other Left-wing demonstrators and a whole lot of Trump hate.
But then cops got to reviewing the cell phone footage of fellow passengers on the bus, discovering that the women were lying; less than a month later, cops charged them with filing a false hate crime report.
Incredibly, the trio initially touted their innocence and thus refused a plea bargain. Eventually one of them – Alexis Briggs – cracked and admitted the "attack" was BS.
Last year, Briggs pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, apologized for lying, and was handed probation and 100 hours of community service.
But as you might suspect, no one from the perpetually angry Left is rising up to admonish these girls for their phony-baloney claims, even to let them know there false charge now makes it harder for real victims of such crimes to be heard and believed.
As for "hate" crimes, what's the point? A crime is a crime, whether someone had "hate" in their heart when they committed it or not. To add extra punishment onto a crime for assuming that 'hate' was involved is asinine and, frankly, impossible to prove without an admission – but, apparently, all too easy to fake.

Passing through Denmark to get home, BWB played the U14s and under 15s from top Danish team Brondby.
The age difference and the great made their mark however as they boys got a lesson in both age groups, probably recording their heaviest defeats ever. It was a shame after such a good week, but the surfs cannot be faulted for their effort against the difficult challenges of the day. Now time for home and a a gamble at the airport; will Dangerous get home…?

The fun thing about learning is that it takes many forms. A lot of people forget this. You think learning and what comes to mind is school, books, and being "forced" to do something that you do not want to do. The best learning is done when we do not realize it. When we stop and take a look at the world around us.
I enjoy doing a little hiking and photography. So on this hot July day when I had a rare afternoon to do as I pleased, I decided to indulge in a bit of both. I took myself to a local botanical gardens. I went specifically in the hopes of getting some good shots of the flowers. This meant spending some time in the 5 acres of prairie.
There was an extra appeal to my visit as I recently started reading The Children's Blizzard by David Laskin. The book is about a blizzard in the West in 1888. Laskin starts out by detailing some of the pioneers that were living in the area and why they moved out west. He paints an intriguing picture of the prairie and I was excited to see this little patch to help enhance what I was reading. See my review of The Children's Blizzard here
It is July and it was about 80 degrees when I got to the gardens at about one pm. It was humid, but there was a cool breeze. Very pleasant in the shade, but out under the sun I was a little miserable and sweaty. I took my time making my way through some of the beautiful gardens and the woods to the prairie. The whole place smelled amazing. If I could wish for anyone to experience this place, it is to know how unbelievably gorgeous the whole place smells.
There were not a lot of people about. The birds were singing and before I got to the prairie I managed to get a shot of a woodpecker who was searching for a snack. I had stopped for a moment to sit down and enjoy the quiet when I heard him. I stood up and crouched down to see him pecking in the tree above me.
When you take the time to walk in and enjoy nature, it is inspiring to see the things around you. For me, taking photos helps me to really stop and focus on the small details. If I had been wondering around not looking for things to photograph, I would have missed the clusters of beetles in the flowers and the butterflies flying around. I would have also missed out on the pure joy that capturing this Monarch butterfly gave me.
When I got to the prairie, I could not help recall the fact that the website had mentioned that it is very common to see four foot long snakes in the grass around the 105 acre property. I will admit to a fear of snakes even knowing that in Michigan most of the ones that I would encounter are not poisonous. I did not see any snakes, I am happy to report. However, I did notice that I found the tall grasses very unsettling. They were easily past my shoulders. Walking around the trails in the grass gave me a great opportunity to snap some photos. But I could not help but think of all the things that could be lurking in the grass. It is a claustrophobic feeling to have this wall of grass surround you.
The prairie was also very loud. There were bugs flying all over the place. Dragon flies, bees, flies, beetles, grasshoppers, and butterflies. The bugs made a lot of noise and I think overall that was the most surprising fact of the whole thing. The variety was amazing. I couldn't even begin to describe everything that I saw. They were flying on me and across the trails. All over the flowers.
In the center of the prairie they have a viewing platform. The website says that it is the height of what a person on horseback would experience. It seemed higher than I expected it to be, but there is no doubt that I immediately felt better being on the platform. During my time on the platform, there was no one around. I didn't see anyone on the prairie until I left. So it was very quiet and I had a few companions that chose to entertain me.
I spent about twenty minutes watching these birds fly from plant to plant. Their singing added to the cacophony of insects. It was fascinating to watch them perch and sway on these plants.
When I stepped off of the platform to return home I managed to capture another fun shot of this dragonfly. He was cruising the prairie grass looking for insects. The prairie is a few acres away from the water features on the grounds. So, I was surprised to see him. I just read that male dragonflies tend to be territorial, though. Who knows what he was doing out there, but there were certainly a lot of insects for him to graze on. And I appreciate the fact that he allowed me to enjoy a slice of his territory.
Leaving the grounds I felt very relaxed in the way that can only be achieved by spending a few hours living in the moment and taking in the world around me. I had to come home and identify everything in these pictures with the exception of a few things. I haven't even done all of it and I will need to add to these images as I figure out what they are. So my official learning of the names of the wildflowers species was a few fun hours on the internet. That is the part that looked like…learning.
The experience itself has given me a deeper and more connected knowledge of the world around me. It has enhanced my reading of the book I am enjoying. Helped to build pictures in my mind of experiences that happened to people over a hundred years ago. It has increased my understanding of what they went through. Watching flowers in various stages of bloom and decay have given me a deeper appreciation of the beauty of the perfect flower. My mom says that when I photograph flowers, I need to pick a perfect specimen. I cannot stop being fascinated by them in various signs of decay. Like flowers, we do not have to be perfect to be beautiful. Watching birds perching on plants in a tall prairie grass may not translate into a real world skill in corporate America. As we learn, we continue to build pieces of the world and put them together. A simple afternoon hike has allowed me to continue to enhance and connect the world around me.

I have a pretty huge obsession for parka style utility/military shackets. They're so easy to style and go with everything. I've been finding awesome shackets in the men's section of Primark and Topshop to name a few.
I'm thinking of customizing my own. Ive found the best place to find them is in the men's section of any store.

Ask the Expert
How do you get started to list your home?
Deciding to move is a new stage in life, whether you are downsizing or moving up. Call a REALTOR and see what you need to do and how much you will net after the sale.
Organize your paperwork. Save your receipts, list replaced items. Buyer may ask for receipts or estimates.
Include home warranty information. If an existing home warranty will transfer with title, let the title company know in advance, so they don't order a new one.
De-clutter! Start in one room and work your way through the house. Sort items to toss, keep, sell or donate. Have a garage sale or get credit for donated items.
Clean, clean, clean. Paint if it is needed. It is one the least expensive re-dos you can do. Make the house smell good and stay ready at all times. Avoid strong cooking odors.
Hire a professional house cleaner and window washer. Chances are buyers will want this done anyway and you can beat them to the punch and have a shining, sparkling home to show for it.
Do repairs an appraiser may call. These problems may be on your inspection anyway. You are also in competition with newer homes.
Listen to the REALTOR on the pricing of your home. Location, price and condition will determine your value.

Mobile Shopping
I've been doing some holiday shopping. I like to do all my shopping online. I don't really enjoy being in stores and I like the convenience of having the items delivered to me.
This holiday season, I've been trying to shop more on mobile, both phone and tablet. I am doing this partly because I want to see what the experience is like and partly because as I spend more time shopping on mobile, I realize it's easier in some ways.
It feels to me that as a reaction to the shrinking real estate that is available in mobile, particularly phones, designers have made the user experiences simpler and more intelligent. Features that were smart on the web, like recommendations, become essential on mobile.
My favorite holiday shopping service remains Etsy. I know I am talking my book here as USV has owned a large stake in Etsy since 2006 and I am on the board. But the things you can find and buy on Etsy are one of a kind, special, and ridiculosly affordable.
In previous years, I found Etsy on the web preferable to Etsy on tablets and phones. Not this year. I just spent twenty minutes on Etsy's android app and completed most of my holiday shopping. If you try some holiday shopping on their mobile apps, you can download them here.
I'm curious if others are feeling this same way. Has the mobile shopping experience become better than the web shopping experience for you too?

SunFest, Florida's largest music, art and waterfront festival — and our very own ultimate 5-day fun spot to be at — will be held May 3-7 along the downtown West Palm Beach waterfront. SunFest 2017 lineup was announced February 15 and is kind of a doozy!
National headliners for the 35th edition of the festival include: Blink-182, Weezer, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Widespread Panic, Marshmello, Snoop Dogg, Dirty Heads, Ziggy Marley, Tori Kelly, Flo Rida, Steve Winwood, Ben Harper & The Innocent, Criminals, Breaking Benjamin, 3 Doors Down, X Ambassadors, Fetty Wap feat. Monty, Rachel Platten. Jon Bellion, Tinashe, Kaleo, St. Paul & The Broken Bones, The Strumbellas, The Naked and Famous, Loverboy, Stick Figure, Christopher Cross, Marc E. Bassy, Wavves, Night Ranger, Declan McKenna, Filter, Thirdstory, Ambrosia, Taylor Bennett, Lillie Mae, Thomas Wynn & the Believers, Leilani Wolfgramm, Magic City Hippies, Tayla Parx, and Ocean Park Standoff.
Now it is the time to get ready for SunFest. Admission prices are being offered at a decent discount here. So to make things easier for a decision, let's break down some of the lineup headliners for this year.
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (THURSDAY, MAY 4, 8:30PM – 10:00PM)
This duo from Seattle, Washington, have become a premier international hip-hop act known for their electrifying live shows, expertly crafted music, and innovative music videos and media. They are famous for "Can't Hold Us", "Same Love", a song and video in support of marriage equality, that galvanized young fans and voters and led to live studio performances on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Since releasing The Heist, the duo has garnered attention in Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, TIME and GQ, with live performances on VH1, MTV, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, and the MTV Movie Awards.
Weezer (WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 8:30PM – 10:00PM)
This band was nominated for the best rock album in this year's Grammy. Weezer consists of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), and Scott Shriner (bass guitar, backing vocals). As one of the most popular groups to emerge in the post-grunge alternative rock aftermath, they play alternative rock, power pop, pop punk, emo and indie rock. Many reviews for the White Album -Weezer's latest album- have rightfully identified it as the band's best work in a very long time.
Snoop Dog (WEDNESDAY, MAY 4, 8:15 PM – 9:30 PM)
Snoop returns to West Palm Beach, and this time on opening night. He began his music career in 1992 when he was discovered by Dr. Dre and since then, it has been a legend in the rap music industry. Snoop has mutated from a moral threat to a beloved entertainer. His work through more than 20 years has paved the way for a whole new era of hip-hop.
Coolaid is the fourteenth studio album by Snoop Dog and it has received positive reviews from music critics, who praised Snoop's technical rapping abilities and production choices.
Flo Rida (FRIDAY, MAY 05, 9:45 PM – 10:45 PM)
The night is served on a silver plate to a Florida's local rapper. Many of the Miami-based rapper's studio album hits have topped Billboard's charts. Flo Rida has never fallen far from the pop sphere since 2007 single Low, which everyone had as their ringtone. Flo composes fun syncopated rhythms for himself and he recites them with ease when he performs.
Ziggy Marley (FRIDAY, MAY 05, 9:00 PM – 10:30 PM)
Ziggy is a 5-time Grammy Award-winning reggae artist and eldest son of music icon, Bob Marley, and leader of the band, Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers.
The burdens of becoming a second-generation star weighed heavily on Ziggy since the beginning — who looked and sounded almost eerily like his father — but when Marley & the Melody Makers recorded their masterpiece, 1988's Conscious Party, their album was both a critical and commercial smash, with the single "Tomorrow People" reaching high on the pop charts. Ziggy Marley debuted his first solo album, Dragonfly on 15 April 2003. On July 2006 he released his second solo album and he won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album, making it Ziggy's 4th Grammy win.
Marshmello (SATURDAY, MAY 06, 9:45 PM – 10:45 PM)
Marshmello's identity remains unknown, although it has been heavily suggested he is American DJ Chris Comstock, also known as Dotcom. So you will come to SunFest to enjoy the mixes of a popular DJ whose musical style includes groove-oriented, synth and bass-heavy electronic dance music, who always appears wearing a full-head-covering marshmallow-shaped helmet. And SunFest will be no exception.
So, who is Marshmello? One thing is for sure. His giant cartoon marshmallow mask will be something EDM fans in the Palm Beaches will honestly never forget because his sound is original, and incredibly exciting.
3 Doors Down (SATURDAY, MAY 06, 9:30 PM – 10:45 PM)
Diehard 3 Doors Down fans? You know well that since The Better Life album, the band has been one of the biggest-selling bands of the 2000's, going platinum four times during its first year of release and spawning several singles.
Sporting a new lineup, 3 Doors Down comes to SunFest ready to give a boundary-smashing, unforgettable performance that only a true expert rock band can stage. 3 Doors Down has been delivering one of rock's most dynamic live shows for two decades with an extensive catalog of hits displaying their diversity as a band.
Blink-182 (SUNDAY, MAY 07, 7:45 PM – 9:00 PM)
25 years in the making and still sounding fresh and entertaining. The California's rock band has been one the most popular bands to emerge from the post-Green Day mainstream explosion of pop-punk. Now in their forties, Blink-182 is the band of all ages who has been honing a slaphappy version of punk rock, fast but surprisingly catchy. Blink-182 has helped encourage the next generation of punks to think big, not to settle for a subgenre, known for simple chord progressions and memorable tunes.
Blink-182's California album was one of the most anticipated—and most successful—releases of 2016. Their new tracks are not only a solid addition to what was already released, but a good mix of sounds.
So, what's your pick thus far?
Get ready for SunFest 2017 with more advice, tips, and suggestions here. We'll keep featuring information, reviews, interviews and much more for you.

Riviera Keys real estate agency can, through a close relationship with local developers, assist you in buying a new apartment or house in France, at no extra cost. We ensure the link between the developer and the notary for all administrative documents and communication, from the first visits on site until delivery. For customers who do not live locally, we offer security and assistance throughout the sales process.
The process of off-plan sales (in French "VEFA" or Vente en Etat Futur d'Achèvement") is thoroughly regulated by French law. This way of purchasing a property has the following advantages: - Reduced purchase costs, so-called "notary fees", approximately 2-2.5% (against 7-8% for existing properties) - Ten-year guarantee on the structure – Two-year warranty on the electrical equipment – completion guarantee or your money back - Building qualities in accordance with the latest standards in terms of insulation, electrical equipment etc. – Possibility of tile choices, etc ... and in some cases, an opportunity to personalize your property.
NOTE: The kitchen is usually installed by the purchaser.
Buying a home off-plan is done in two steps; first by a reservation contract with a deposit, and later by a final notarial deed. The buyer has a withdrawal period after the reservation and also the time to set up a bank loan. The future home becomes the property of the purchaser as the work progresses, and the buyer must make stage payments according to the fixed timetable.

A mock presidential debate will be held on Monday, Oct. 15 at 6:30 p.m. in the Dixon Ministry Center Recital Hall. The event is sponsored by the history and government department.
Four students will debate nine political issues: healthcare, abortion, immigration, same-sex marriage, taxes, entitlements, foreign policy and national defense, economic policy and relations with Middle Eastern countries.
Lauren April and Amber Strickland will speak as Ann Romney and Michelle Obama, presenting their husbands' views on domestic issues. John Whitcomb and Caleb Nissley will speak as Paul Ryan and Joe Biden, presenting the candidates' positions on foreign policy.
Thirteen students have been preparing for the debate as part of the campaigns and elections course. Assistant professor of political science Jewerl Maxwell said he gave the students different responsibilities depending on their areas of study and intended careers. In addition to the four speakers, eight students have been researching the candidates' policies, and one will moderate the debate along with Maxwell. The speakers have been preparing responses based on the students' research, but they will not know the questions before the debate.
Strickland, a senior communications student from Virginia, said the debate offers the students an opportunity to think critically and gain understanding of the important issues as they strive to represent the candidates' positions with integrity.
In addition to helping these students develop practical skills, Maxwell said the event will give attendees a valuable experience.
"I think it will be just as helpful, if not more, for others on campus," he said. "We know there's a lot of apathy among young people, and it will be very informative."
Tickets to the debate are free and open to the public, but online registration is required due to limited space.
