Nail Issue - Treatment and Prescriptions
What is Nail Issue?
The main type of nail issue is nail fungus. The medical term for this condition is onychomycosis, and it's a fungal infection of the nail. Although onychomycosis refers to both hand and toe nails, onychomycosis is most commonly seen on toenails. The most common culprit is a type of fungus called dermatophytes, but other fungi can also be involved in the infection. You can have fungus on the nail bed, the top layer of the nail, the skin around the nails, or the skin at the base of the nail. Fungal diseases tend to flourish in warm, damp environments, so it often occurs when people have to wear damp shoes or walk around in moist areas. Nail Fungus doesn't significantly affect one's daily activities, but the appearance and odor can inflict daily, personal and social discomfort. It might start out as a white or yellow spot on one of your nails. It could make them brittle, and even produce a foul odor. If left untreated, the fungal infection can even affect multiple nails. Although the onychomycosis is difficult to cure because even if treated, nail fungus often comes back. There are many treatments such as home remedies, over the counter medications, topical prescriptions, and oral prescriptions to combat toenail fungus. However, it is important to note that treatment is a long process and one might not see results for many months or a cure for a year. Getting rid of fungus requires long-term dedication and professional help to significantly increase the likelihood of a cure. Nail Fungus can be diagnosed visually by a dermatologist, but sometimes a nail clipping will be sent to a lab to verify the nature of the disease. There are 4 main types of Toenail Fungus:
Distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO)
White superficial onychomycosis (WSO)
Proximal subungual onychomycosis (PSO)
Candida onychomycosis
Our care team will help you achieve your perfect health! With thousands of hours of in-person and digital clinical experience treating nail fungus, we know what works, and at costs that won't break the bank. Nail fungus might take time to take care of, but the doctor can see you now.
It can be difficult to tell whether you have nail fungus at first because it can just start as a small white patch on a single nail. Nail fungal infections normally start at the tip of the nail, so this is where you will notice it first. Over time, the fungal infection will spread, and signs of the nail issue will become more obvious. The nails tend to start looking thick, become warped, or feel itchy and they may turn white, yellow, brown, black, or even green. In some cases, the nails may crumble easily, especially along the edges, or fall off entirely. There normally is not a lot of pain, but if the infection spreads deeper into the skin, it can hurt when you put pressure on the nails. Here are the symptoms of the 4 main types of nail fungus:
Distal subungual onychomycosis (DSO)
– DSO is the most common type of nail fungus, mostly seen on toenails. The nail becomes striated and thickened with a yellow-brown discoloration.
Proximal subungual onychomycosis (PSO)
– PSO is mostly seen on toenails.The nail has a yellow-white discoloration at the base of the visible nail.
White superficial onychomycosis (WSO)
– WSO is mostly seen on toenails. It begins with small, white spots on the nail surface and spreads out to the rest of the nail.
Candida onychomycosis
– This type of nail fungus is commonly seen on the hands. There is yellow, white, green or black discoloration in combination with inflammation of surrounding tissue.
While nail fungus usually does not affect activities of daily life, severe cases of untreated fungus can lead to the following:
Nail Loss
Nail Distortion
Thickened or Brittle Nails
Odor from the Affected Nails
Spread of Infection to Nearby Nails
Onychomycosis is the result of a fungus infection underneath, inside, or on top of the nail. The fungus can come from the environment, an existing fungal condition such as athlete's foot, from someone else (though unlikely), or from an already infected nail. Fungus thrives in warm, moist environments which unfortunately means that the inside of your shoes are a great place for it to thrive, though it's also possible to have it on one's fingernails. Cracks in nails allow an opening for fungus to get into and grow inside or underneath the nail and make it easier for a fungal infection to grow. For these reasons, the following risk factors increase the likelihood of contracting a fungal nail infection:
Old Age
Nail injuries
Unsterilized manicure tools and footwear
Warm, moist environments such as swimming pools, gyms, locker rooms
Health issues including a weakened immune system, diabetes, and poor circulation
In addition to keeping nails short to prevent further infection, there are several ways to treat nail fungus depending on its severity. While mild cases of nail fungus can yield success with over-the-counter treatments, severe cases likely require oral and topical prescriptions for effective treatment. No treatment is guaranteed to get rid of the fungus completely and there's a chance that the fungus could spread again. The more potent your treatment, the faster your fungus may be treated, and the higher the likelihood that it may not recur. You should seek medical advice from your physician to determine which combination treatments is best to treat your nail fungus. When starting a treatment, it is common to start seeing results only after 6 months of treatment.
Home Remedies
While home remedies have taken on popularity, there are little to no studies confirming the effectiveness of such treatments. In some cases, it might even do more harm than good considering their minimal effectiveness versus the unknown side effects they could have on your body. It's best to follow the medical advice of a dermatologist because they know what will or will not treat the disease. Here are some popular home remedies that you should be careful with:
Baking Soda
Tea Tree Oil
Ozonized Oil
Snakeroot Extract
Vicks Vaporub
Over the Counter Medication
While some over the counter (OTC) medications are effective enough to be given as prescriptions, other OTC medications have limited effects on disease. They might help for mild to moderate cases, but they aren't usually effective on severe ones. If used incorrectly and without guidance, they might even prove to be ineffective and produce unforeseen side effects. However, a dermatologist can tell you whether or not these can be effective for you. Here are some OTC medications that may or may not be included in a treatment plan given by one of our dermatologists:
Clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF)
Terbinafine (Lamisil Spray)
Undecylenic Acid
Tolnaftate (Zeasorb)
Prescriptions, alongside professional medical advice, are the most effective form of treatment. Home remedies and over the counter treatments take plenty of time, energy, and money, yet are uncertain to work. Our experienced dermatologists take your unique skin, set of symptoms, and medical history into account to take the guessing game out of your road to recovery. Here are some prescriptions your dermatologist might include in your personalized treatment plan: Oral prescriptions that a dermatologist could prescribe to you:
Terbinafine (Lamisil)
Itraconazole (Sporanox)
Fluconazole (Diflucan)
Griseofulvin (Gris-Peg)
Topical prescriptions that a dermatologist could prescribe to you:
Our dermatologists have resolved countless nail issue cases with medications and treatment plans that are proven to clear nails once and for all. Trust dermatologists, the experts on cold sores.
Post Treatment Prevention
After being seen by our dermatologists, you've been equipped with the prescriptions to treat your discomfort. However, disease can be persistent, so you have to be too. A skin care routine and a set of disease-preventing habits recommended by our dermatologists are essential for long term prevention. Here are some popular prevention strategies that could supplement your personalized treatment plan:
Sterilize manicure tools
Wash hands and feet regularly
Treat shoes with antifungal spray or powder
Frequently apply antifungal cream or nail polish
Wear clean, breathable shoes and change damp socks into dry ones
Wear footwear at pools, gyms, locker rooms, and other warm, moist environments

Tiffany Davis, an attorney with Wombie Bond Dickinson, isn't on the partnership track, and she's comfortable with that.
To ensure she'd have more time to spend with her children, she instead chose to work with Womble Bond's GC Solutions, a division that offers affordable, scalable on-demand legal services, such as a legal help desk.
A more recent and narrower survey from legal search firm Major, Lindsey & Africa released in early April found that 40 percent of about 1,200 millennial attorneys questioned said they planned on making partner either at their current firm or another firm.

Ok let me apologize before hand, but this is really starting to make me a little nuts.
First let me say that I asked a question above which you have not answered and would be helpful to know, before troubleshooting the server side thing as it may become a moot point.
Should I assume for your lack of response that a client side response is not something that can be done? To me it seems a little crazy to have both and as I stated previously a client side validation is already set up on many of the fields. If this is the case then it would probably be best to remove the client side and make it all server side. Having said that I have also made the change you requested (several times now which is why it was missing this time around as I keep trying and trying and it never seems to work).

The Frenchman says he will be leaving Newcastle permanently over the summer.
According to the Chronicle and many other sources, Remy Cabella has confirmed he expects to remain at Marseille next season, potentially completing a permanent move to the Ligue 1 side.
And Newcastle United fans have taken to Twitter in response - the majority agreeing on an overriding feeling.
Indeed, while some wish Cabella could remain on Tyneside and try and make a go of things, most will barely notice his absence. That's saying a lot considering some of the struggling players currently on show at St James' Park.
Like Florian Thauvin, Cabella never looked right for the Premier League. From the word 'go,' the Frenchman seemed light-weight.
He did put in more effort than Thauvin and showed the odd glimpse here or there that he could yet fight for his Newcastle future.
Generally, however, the 25-year-old flattered to deceive - and Newcastle fans have made their feelings clear about the Magpies flop on social media...

Menta Offers Validation Board for Embedded FPGA Supporting TSMC's 28nm HPC+ Process
eFPGAs enable programmability in SoCs for mobile and consumer products
|Menta eFPGA Validation Board
Austin, Texas, June 19, 2017 — Menta SAS, a provider of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) Intellectual Property (IP), today announced a validation board supporting TSMC's 28-nanometer High Performance Compact Plus (28HPC+) process. The board includes a test chip with an embedded FPGA (eFPGA) IP core from Menta, and is supplied with all of the hardware and software required for validation of the complete eFPGA design flow from RTL to bitstream, and through final hardware test and measurement. Menta's eFPGA technology will be demonstrated at booth #1329 this week at the Design Automation Conference in Austin, Texas.
Menta's eFPGAs enable programmability to be embedded into complex SoCs, allowing changes to be made to the RTL at will, post-production, thereby eliminating costly re-spins. This capability is critical to meeting the sometimes conflicting requirements of changing standards, security updates and shrinking time-to-market windows of mobile and consumer products, IoT devices, networking and automotive ICs.
"Menta is pleased to support TSMC's 28HPC+ process with a board that demonstrates Menta's eFPGAs and Origami Programmer software," said Vincent Markus, CEO of Menta. "This FPGA design, from PDK and standard cells libraries reception to GDSII tapeout, was complete in just two months which shows our ability to support different technology nodes with a very fast turnaround time."
The validation board includes all of the software and hardware necessary to implement the complete eFPGA design flow. In addition to the test chip with Menta's eFPGA, the board integrates a USB connector for bitstream programming, a microprocessor to manage bitstream signals with USB/FLASH/eFPGA, a 2Mb FLASH memory, design for test connectors, and a standard 12V power supply.
Menta also provides customer support with Origami Programmer, a proven EDA tool that supports design from HDL design to bitstream with synthesis, mapping, and place and route. Origami Programmer includes synthesis to allow RTL applications in VHDL, Verilog or SystemVerilog, as well as SDC support for application design constraints. Additionally, timing analyses tools enhance engineer experience and facilitate designs. The validation board demonstrates standard test compatibility with all common ASIC and SOC test solutions. Menta eFPGAs are unique in offering fault coverage greater than 99.6%.
Menta's eFPGA validation board, testchip, IP cores and associated software are available now. For more information, please visit www.menta-efpga.com, or contact our customer support team at email@example.com.

Regular visits
Regular visits
Gum disease, infections, and tooth decay influence your whole body's health. Scientific studies have shown that disease in the mouth can be measured in other parts of the body. Today we know that a healthy smile not only gives us confidence, but it's good for us. There is a real value in maintaining your oral health and we will do our best to take care of your teeth.
Your teeth
To avoid tooth pain or big dental problems, we recommend visiting your dentist regularly. Many catastrophic tooth problems begin as small, repairable situations. With regular x-rays and exams, your dentist will find situations before they are problematic and that means you will avoid pain, expensive dental treatment, and possibly loosing teeth. Call us and make a one hour New Patient Exam.
Second opinions are helpful. If you have a dental situation that requires treatment and you are not confident about the recommended treatment, please schedule a 30 minute Second Opinion Exam. We'll take new x-rays or use the x-rays you bring, we'll answer your questions, and we'll offer you our expert opinion.
Second opinions
We use advanced dental technology to improve your visits.
•Digital x-rays use less radiation.
•White fillings are bonded to teeth and make teeth look natural.
•Fluoride varnish painted on your teeth means you swallow less fluoride.
•All ceramic crowns/veneers don't look artificial, don't show black lines.
•Micro fillings and sealants stop decay and are placed without pain.
•Rapid office whitening does not overheat your tooth's nerve.
•Quiet drill technology helps reduce the noise of the drill.
•Root sensitivity and small decay repaired without using a drill.
Dental technology
Gingivitis is the single leading cause of inflammation in the world. When this inflammation of the gums causes irreversible damage, it destroys the bone and attachment that holds our teeth. This condition is called periodontitis. Smoking, bacteria, and genetics all play some part in periodontitis and often the result is loss of teeth. Fortunately, periodontal disease can be controlled with special cleanings and special toothbrushes. If you have not been tested for periodontal disease, please call us and schedule a one hour New Patient Exam.
Periodontal disease
When used properly, whitening is safer for your teeth than drinking a Coca-Cola. There are many different brands and types of tooth whitening and we can help you decide which one is best for you.
Tooth whitening
Some people grind or clench their teeth at night. It's called bruxism and it can destroy your teeth and injure your jaw joint. Here are some signs that you are grinding your teeth: headaches, short teeth that are worn flat, root sensitivity, and broken or cracked teeth. A night guard is a plastic tray that is custom made to fit and protect your teeth while you sleep. During an exam we will check for signs of grinding.

text: Courtesy Of XXL MagREVIEW: Playboi Carti Timothy White April 19, 2017 Music 5660 Tweet Share3 Share Email WhatsAppShares 3 The time has finally arrived folks, Playboi Carti has finally decided to bless us with a full length project titled after himself "Playboi Carti". It's been a long wait almost going on a half of a decade for Carti to drop something but here it is and as an "OG" Carti fan I must say it's pretty dope with all honesty. Of course I wouldn't expect an older crowd of hip-hop/rap fans to appreciate this but Carti could personally care less as he already has accepted his trendy label as a "mumble rapper" in today's rap game society while co-signing on the topic with lil Uzi Vert in an interview for VFILES LOUD live concert in times square. Even after the release of Carti's official tape fans took to twitter almost instantly to voice their loud opinions on Playboi Carti's unique rap style. carti album was made strictly for fly niggas and niggas with hoes so if it's not for you, i can't fault you — 1K (@kachi1k) April 14, 2017 Niggas that don't get no bitches don't understand carti. It's cool bro we know — LUCKI 🌹 (@LUCKI6BELOW) April 14, 2017 Now with all that being cleared up lets get into dissecting album from it's creative process to the energy it gives off. Playboi Carti the mixtape is pure fun, lit, and young energy for young people as I stated earlier so if you were looking into this tape expecting Kendrick Lamar type bars and smooth sonically soft melody from and Drake level perspective you have been clearly misguided and I almost feel bad for you that you put yourself through the discomfort of listening to the Playboi Carti mixtape. However, if you were looking forward to hearing a lot of yeah's and a lot of aye's after every few words along with some crazy dope production value this is the perfect tape for you. "We make lit sh*t" said Carti as he was asked to describe his own personal style of music along with Lil Uzi Vert's. And speaking of Lil Uzi, he was featured promptly on two out of the 15 tracks from Carti's self titled project. Other features included A$AP Rocky of course and a new R&B singer by the name of Leven Kali. With all the rapper stuff out of the way it's time to embrace the production side of this project because the production is basically the core it all. The most recognized from this side of "Playboi Carti" is a young producer out of South Carolina by the name of Pierre Bourne. He is the mastermind and overall main sound behind Playboi Carti's debut mixtape which is so hard to describe. But, if i had to make a guess on this unique beat pattern and sound I'd have to say it is a wild mix between 80's techno, 808's, and old Super Nintendo video game effects supported heavily with some catchy ad-libs. Nun the less, Pierre produced 6 out of the 15 songs on the tape including big hit's Magnolia and WokeUpLikeThis featuring Lil Uzi Vert. Hopefully there is more music in the near future to come from Carti as he has already thrown out hints of another project in the works. this how u feel ? Bet ! Made it my mixtape cover !! 😉 #cartiseason pic.twitter.com/WvFEkQ7tmL — #cashcarti #playboi (@playboicarti) March 12, 2017

Brush or peel, halve them lengthwise, drizzle with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven at 190 °C for 20 to 25 mins.
Apple, parsnip, red onion roast
Apple and parsnip have a history together. They are a good match in a soup bowl, and they are even better match roasted in the oven, especially when garlic, red onion and fresh thyme involved too.
Peel the parsnip, cut in half then into quarters. Add apple chunks, red onion quarters, whole garlic cloves. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, the roast.

Beetroot, parsnip, green cauli roast
Deep coloured beetroot, creamy parsnip and tender green cauliflower baked into one dish.
Cook the beetroot. Let it cool so you can handle. Peel and cut into chunks. Parboil the cauli florets, then cut in half the bigger ones. Add parsnip wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. Bake for 30 to 40 mins.
Roasted Brussels, beetroot and red pepper
Pan roasted Brussels sprout baked with beetroot and red pepper slices.
Halve the Brussels sprout (quarter the big ones) and add to a hot pat. Drizzle with some olive oil and roast till some sides get brown.

At first glance, some may find it strange when they hear the term funeral videography, or that a videographer/photographer attends funerals. So why should you have the funeral captured on video?
Here is the the reason why.
Many family members and loved ones are not able to be present at the funeral, because of reasons such as distance, time and cost, it makes a lot of sense for them to actually experience the funeral through a video recording live, or one that has been uploaded to a password protected website or video platform.
In terms of funeral videography, it is important that a funeral videographer needs to have a vast amount of experience with funerals over a length of time.
The reasons for this is that it is vital that they understand what sort of challenges may occur, what the etiquette and best practices are at funerals, how to communicate with family members and how to be discreet.
Staying behind the scenes is crucial as the videographer should know how to not draw attention to him or herself and simply blend in and capture the event, often from the back of the room.
In terms of funeral videography techniques we use two cameras for most funerals; one with a slightly wider angle video camera, and one with a longer angle video camera. You want there to be at least two video cameras and the reasons are as follows.
The close up angle is extremely important as it captures emotion. By zooming in, close ups capture all of the emotion portrayed on a speakers face whether it be the outward expression of grief or the tears in their eyes. It captures all sorts of emotions rising to the surface.
Why is this important?
Because, as a family member unable to attend the service, you want to be immersed into the recording and into the story. You want to connect with it. You want it to have an impact on you so that you can experience the feelings that are being experienced by those at the event. Also, because experiencing these feelings is an important part of the healing process and of feeling connected, authentically, with the funeral event.
What about the second camera?
The wider angle camera is important because at any given moment something may happen at the funeral where the speaker is no longer the center of attention. The centre of attention then becomes what is happening at the funeral which could be a multiple of things. It could be guests coming to do something ceremonious, it could be some music being played or an important part of the proceedings could be happening.
So in terms of capturing the funeral videography with two cameras we will usually have those two cameras right beside each other right at the back in a position where they are out of the way.
Funerals are usually organised short notice so as the organiser you are under time pressure. You don't want to really spend a lot of time finding a funeral videographer and as soon as a funeral videographer communicates back well with you and shows a great portfolio of work you will want to enlist the videographer.
Funeral videography prices differ from one company to the next. Our company offers funeral videography services starting at $500.
We offer you the raw footage from the camera which does require editing or the fully edited video it its entirety, smoothly edited to take out any pauses, bumps and non-relevant footage or audio that has been captured.
Funeral video music is usually soft background music that does not distract from what is being said but amplifies and elevates the style and impact of the words and speeches being given. We have a big database library of the best music available for funeral videos.
Now let's go into a typical workflow for our company in capturing a funeral. We will get called by a family member asking us for availability and pricing.
We will then direct you to our pricing link to be able to view or download our pricing. If we are available in most cases we then get booked to video the funeral.
Once you have booked us we will look at the location information and organise our equipment required for the filming.
For most funerals we aim to arrive an hour prior to the funeral to set up our video and audio equipment and then wait at the back of the venue for guests to arrive.
The thing we most enjoy about capturing a funeral on video is the appreciation and love we receive from the funeral. We understand how difficult this time is for our clients and also notice how appreciative they are when they talk to us during and after the funeral.
Capturing photography at the funeral is also something that we get asked to do. these photos are very important to show all those who paid respects to the loved one lost and to see family and loved ones together at watches at very important occasion in the lives of the family.
Something that we can offer is to have photos captured in several ways. The first way is that we are asked to capture some photos throughout the event which we do at the same time as recording the videos. This will be a minor additional expense however it is very valuable and presents a very affordable option.
The second option is that our company brings a dedicated photographer from our team to capture photos only throughout the event which will be a slightly higher investment yet we'll create powerful meaningful storytelling, candid photojournalistic images of the funeral.
The last option in capturing photos of the funeral is for us to set our cameras to a high resolution. This resolution is called 4K. From this video resolution we can create photos that are of an acceptable quality. The quality does not match that of actual still photos captured in the camera yet in many cases it is okay to use this technique.
If you would like to contact our studio for funeral videography requirements we would love to hear from you and we'll dedicate ourselves to creating a professional experience and understanding nature and the highest quality meaningful engaging and emotional capture of your event.
Funerals honour the life of the people most important to us, and we believe that this celebration is one worth documenting. Our beautiful photos and videos emphasise the legacy of a life well-lived and the day you said goodbye. By capturing the day on video, you can share memories with those unable to attend and continue to commemorate the life of your loved-one.
With over 12 years' experience in the industry, our team are highly-professional and are subtle with their work. Suitably attired, our videographers will unobtrusively record the service. We are always considerate of our clients' privacy: where practical, we use two cameras fixed to tripods, ultra-long zoom lenses, and podium mic's, so we can film at a respectful distance. We are understanding of all cultures and religions, and do our outmost to capture the essence of every ceremony.
A funeral is a difficult time. Our services offer peace of mind through experience, discretion, and empathy. Funeralvid operates throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coasts, and surrounding areas.

In Spain, once upon a time we had kings and queens who swore to rule by the Grace of God.
Those days are over…
Felipe VI is certainly taking Spain's modernist monarchy to a whole new level, by echoing and building upon his father's reign.
Felipe VI's first speech, as the new King of Spain, was extremely inclusive of just about everyone– except for God, who was not mentioned even once. The same goes for his restrained swearing-in ceremony as Head of State, pursuant to Article 61 of the Spanish Constitution.
Instead, Felipe VI focused on "liberty, responsibility, solidarity and tolerance."
This extremely secular initial jolt was followed by a protocol visit to the Vatican, where Queen Letizia did not wear the traditional mantilla during her audience with Francis— although she did genuflect and kissed his ring.
Felipe VI and the United Nations
For a nation as proud as Spain, with such a passionate and courageous history of defending its sovereignty under the light of Christendom, it defies common sense that Felipe VI, as a Spanish monarch, would be paying homage to the United Nations (a socialist entity) during his first speech as king. We can safely assume that this is the result of his formation.
But let us remember that this is a monarchy in the European Union, where nothing goes without the United Nations' nod of approval. As a matter of fact, I don't know of a single European monarch who is not involved, in one way or another, with a United Nations project.
Here is an excerpt of Felipe VI's very secular "proclamation" during the ceremonies held on June 19:
«En un mundo cada vez más globalizado, en el que están emergiendo nuevos actores relevantes, junto a nuevos riesgos y retos, sólo cabe asumir una presencia cada vez más potente y activa en la defensa de los derechos de nuestros ciudadanos y en la promoción de nuestros intereses, con la voluntad de participar e influir más en los grandes asuntos de la agenda global y sobre todo en el marco de las Naciones Unidas.»
Translation into English, courtesy of Marielena Montesino de Stuart:
In an increasingly globalized world, in which new stakeholders are emerging, along with new risks and challenges, one must assume an increasingly powerful and active presence in defense of the rights of our citizens and in the promotion of our interests, with the willingness to participate with greater influence in the significant issues of the global agenda, and above all in the framework of the United Nations.
What would Queen Isabel La Católica say?
Felipe VI has assumed his role as King of Spain, without publicly invoking God– nor pleading for His Grace. This is a precarious situation, considering that ISIS (now renamed the Islamic State) is threatening to reclaim Spain as "Andalus" under their five-year caliphate plan.
Personally, with such a looming threat, I would want God on my side– along with all the Saints and His army of angels. But perhaps Felipe VI is expecting that Spain will be defended against ISIS by the politically-correct unarmed representatives, with the little blue pastel hats, from his beloved United Nations.
Indeed, many faithful Christians are questioning Felipe VI's secular approach.
The Servant of God, Queen Isabel La Católica of Spain, must be turning in her grave. After all, it was she who brought an end to the Islamic domination of Spain– and she did so by faithfully proclaiming Christianity as the center of her reign.
But that was once upon a time, by the Grace of God.
Someone has to say the truth…

aka the Party of God; Islamic Jihad; Islamic Jihad Organization; Revolutionary Justice Organization; Organization of the Oppressed on Earth; Islamic Jihad for the Liberation of Palestine; Organization of Right Against Wrong; Ansar Allah; Followers of the Prophet Muhammed
Description: Hizballah was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization on October 8, 1997. Formed in 1982 in response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the Lebanese-based radical Shia group takes its ideological inspiration from the Iranian revolution and the teachings of the late Ayatollah Khomeini. The group generally follows the religious guidance of Khomeini's successor, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Hizballah is closely allied with Iran and the two often work together on shared initiatives, though Hizballah also acts independently. Hizballah shares a close relationship with Syria, and like Iran, the group is providing assistance to Syrian regime forces in the Syrian conflict.
Hizballah has strong influence in Lebanon, especially with the Shia community. Hizballah plays an active role in Lebanese politics, and the group holds 13 seats in the 128-member Lebanese Parliament and two seats in the 30-member Council of Ministers. Hizballah's political strength grew in the wake of the 2006 war with Israel and the group's 2008 takeover of West Beirut, though its reputation and popularity have been significantly undermined by the group's active support for the Asad regime.
Hizballah provides support to several Palestinian terrorist organizations, as well as a number of local Christian and Muslim militias in Lebanon. Besides overt political support, support includes the covert provision of weapons, explosives, training, funding, and guidance.
Activities: Hizballah's terrorist attacks have included the suicide truck bombings of the U.S. Embassy and U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983; the U.S. Embassy annex in Beirut in 1984; and the 1985 hijacking of TWA flight 847, during which a U.S. Navy diver was murdered. Elements of the group were responsible for the kidnapping, detention, and murder of Americans and other Westerners in Lebanon in the 1980s. Hizballah was implicated, along with Iran, in the 1992 attacks on the Israeli Embassy in Argentina and on the 1994 bombing of the Argentine-Israeli Mutual Association in Buenos Aires. In 2000, Hizballah operatives captured three Israeli soldiers in the Shebaa Farms area and, separately, kidnapped an Israeli non-combatant in Dubai. Though the non-combatant survived, on November 1, 2001, Israeli Army Rabbi Israel Weiss pronounced the soldiers dead. The surviving non-combatant and the bodies of the IDF soldiers were returned to Israel in a prisoner exchange with Hizballah in 2004.
Hizballah and a Palestinian group affiliated with al-Qa'ida blamed each other for a May 2011 roadside bomb attack that wounded six Italian soldiers with the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). Two other attacks against UNIFIL peacekeepers – an attack in late July that wounded six French citizens and a second attack days later that injured three other French soldiers – were believed to have been carried out by Hizballah. Also in 2011, four Hizballah members were indicted by the U.N.-based Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL), an international tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. The four Hizballah members indicted by the STL were Mustafa Badreddine Salim Ayyash, Assad Sabra, and Hassan Anise. Identified as the primary suspect in Hariri's assassination, Badreddine is believed to have replaced his cousin, Imad Mugniyeh, as Hizballah's top military commander after Mugniyeh's 2008 death. Hizballah denounced the trial and vowed to retaliate, saying the four indicted Hizballah members would not be handed over.
On January 12, Thai police detained a Hizballah operative on immigration charges as he was attempting to depart Thailand from Suvarnabhumi International Airport. He led police to nearly 10,000 pounds of urea-based fertilizer and 10 gallons of liquid ammonium nitrate in a commercial building about 20 miles south of Bangkok. It was unclear if the materials were intended to be used to carry out terrorist attacks in Thailand – possibly against Israeli tourists – or if they were to be transported to another country. The Hizballah operative was awaiting trial at year's end.
In 2012, Hizballah stepped up the pace of its terrorist plotting, and was implicated in several terrorist plots around the world. In Cyprus, a suspected Lebanese Hizballah operative was detained by the Cypriot authorities on July 7 for allegedly helping plan an attack against Israeli tourists in Cyprus. The trial began in September 2012, and on March 21, 2013, a Cyprus court found a Hizballah operative guilty of charges stemming from his surveillance activities of Israeli tourist targets.
In Bulgaria, on July 18, a terrorist attack was carried out on a passenger bus carrying 42 Israeli tourists at the Sarafovo Airport near the Bulgarian city of Burgas. The explosion killed five Israelis and injured 32, and also killed the Bulgarian bus driver. On February 5, 2013, Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister Tsvetan Tsevtanov, publically linked Hizballah to the Burgas bombing, citing the involvement of two Hizballah operatives in the plot.
Strength: Several thousand supporters and members.
Location/Area of Operation: Hizballah is based in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Bekaa Valley, and southern Lebanon. However, as evidenced by Hizballah's activities during the course of 2012, the group is capable of operating around the globe.
Funding and External Aid: Iran continues to provide Hizballah with training, weapons, and explosives, as well as political, diplomatic, monetary, and organizational aid; Syria furnished training, weapons, diplomatic, and political support. Hizballah also receives funding from private donations and profits from legal and illegal businesses. Hizballah receives financial support from Lebanese Shia communities in Europe, Africa, South America, North America, and Asia. As illustrated by the Lebanese Canadian bank case, Hizballah supporters are often engaged in a range of criminal activities that benefit the group financially. These have included smuggling contraband goods, passport falsification, trafficking in narcotics, money laundering, and credit card, immigration, and bank fraud.

THE GAME: The Giants (2-2) at the Green Bay Packers (2-1) at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wis., on Sunday, Oct. 9, 8:30 p.m. ET.
THE WEATHER: Call it the not-so-frozen tundra this time. It'll actually be a nice day in Green Bay with the temperature getting all the way up to 60, but when the sun goes down the temperatures will drop to the mid-40s.
WHAT IT MEANS: There is beginning to be the feel of chaos around the Giants, mostly due to the Odell Beckham, Jr. circus, but the two-game losing streak hasn't helped. The game in Minnesota was predictably awful, but between the penalties and the out-of-sync offense and the lack of sacks and turnovers from the defense a bad pattern is beginning to emerge. So again, it's too early for this to be a must-win. Let's call it a must-stop-the-bleeding game for the Giants. A three-game losing streak could be the beginning of a bad downhill roll, especially if the Giants' play doesn't improve.
PLAYER TO WATCH: QB Eli Manning. Yeah, I know. Odell Beckham. We'll get to him, I promise. But Manning has had some fantastic games in his career against the Packers, including two brilliant performances in Green Bay (in the playoffs … his one regular-season game there was a four-interception disaster in 2010). And the Giants need a big game from him. Nothing is working around him. The offensive line isn't offering a ton of protection. The game plan -- perhaps forced by that, or forced by the defense -- has become small ball. His receivers are out of sync. This is where the franchise quarterback has to step up and carry his team.
There are vulnerabilities in the Packers' secondary, particularly with cornerback Sam Shields out. Manning has to find a way to get the ball in the hands of his playmakers and he really has to find a way to get at least a few passes into their hands downfield. Mostly, though, he has to make sure the offense stays out of trouble. Turnovers here will put a very dangerous offense back on the field and turn this into a very long night for the Giants.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Giants WR Odell Beckham against Packers CB Damarious Randall. With Shields out with a concussion, the promising young Randall figured to be the guy glued to Beckham all game. But he's been dealing with a groin injury, so now it's hard to say what the Packers will do. If they're forced to go only with second-year pros Quinten Rollins and LaDarius Gunter and rookie Josh Hawkins, this could be an absolutely huge day for Beckham. Randall would certainly seem to be their best option to contain him.
The real question, though, is, how will he (or anyone else) try to do that? Will he man up and show some courage and just play football against Beckham, the way that Giants offensive coordinator Mike Sullivan practically begged defensive backs to do? Or will he follow the lead of Josh Norman and Xavier Rhodes and their successful strategy of getting under Bekcham's skin and getting him off his game? It's safe to say everyone is watching to see what happens -- including the Giants, the league, and every future defensive back Beckham will face.
INJURY REPORT: The Giants' secondary remains a mess with two safeties out again -- Nat Berhe (concussion) and Darian Thompson (foot) -- and two corners listed as questionable -- Eli Apple (hamstring) and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie (groin). It's hard to say if either of the two corners will play, though Apple sounded very uncertain of that earlier this week. RB Rashad Jennings (thumb) is also questionable again, and it's a good bet that even if he does return you'll still see plenty of Orleans Darkwa as the workhorse back and Bobby Rainey and rookie Paul Perkins as the third-down back in for the injured Shane Vereen (triceps/IR). Right tackle Marshall Newhouse (calf) is again out, so Bobby Hart has to fill in for him again. And tight end Larry Donnell is out with a concussion, leaving Will Tye and rookie Jerrell Adams to handle all the tight end duties themselves.
For the Packers, cornerback Sam Shields (concussion) is out again, which is a big blow to their already questionable secondary. And TE Jared Cook (ankle) won't be playing, either. Randall, meanwhile, is nursing a groin injury but he is expected to play, as is LB Clay Matthews, who has ankle and hamstring issues.
THE PICK: This is a Packers team that is pretty dangerous based on the talent on its roster, but it certainly doesn't look like the same old dangerous Packers based on the way they've played. The passing attack has been shockingly low octane. And if that continues, the Giants could be in great shape because the Packers' passing defense is full of holes and now it's banged up a bit, too. But here's the thing: The Packers have averaged under 200 yards passing per game, and there's almost no way that a group that includes Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb will continue to be held in check like that for long.
Against a Giants' defense that has lacked a pass rush and is very banged up in the secondary, this could be just the game for them to get back on track. Of course, the same could be said for the Giants' too against the Packers' defense. And I do think they'll get back on track a little. But they have looked so out of sync lately in the passing game and that's worrisome. They also will almost certainly have trouble running the ball against the No. 1 rushing defense in the league that is allowing a ridiculous 42.1 yards per game (and an even more ridiculous 1.8 yards per carry). I think the Giants' play will improve in this game and I think Beckham will get his game back on track, too. In the end, though, and on the road I just don't think it will be enough. … Packers 32, Giants 27.

(The following notes were submitted by Rich Bailey on the trip)
Hawk Junction to Mattice. Dan Sullivan, Mary Powell, Bob Dick, Jay Hanks, Emma Bailey and Richard Bailey
Friday, July 10: "Headed Up". Met at Jay's around 11 & packed & on the road by noon. Stopped and ate at the Voyager Inn just west of the Batachawana. Camped at Alona Bay. The lake was beautiful, but the black flies were thick.
Saturday, July 11: "To Stony Portage". Breakfast in Wawa. Dropped the boats & gear at a landing on Hawk Lake, then parked the vehicles at the train station. Launched about 10:45 AM. Smooth sailing for a while, then the wind came up. Surfing big rollers and some breakers from behind. Pulled off about 1:30 to wait for it to calm down. Had coffee & scrambled around a bit. About 4:30 we thought it was calming down some, so we made a run for it. We had to cross to the far side to make the turn up the arm that leads to Stony portage. The wind came up big time while we were crossing. We were running cross swell through a wind tunnel towards the end, but we made it. The run up the last bay was much easier. We arrived at the falls and started to look for the campsite and portage trail, but it just didn't look right. We finally found them 50 yards to the right. Set up camp, had dinner then bed.
Sunday, July 12: "Blown off Dog Lake". Light comes around 4:30 – 5 AM. We got up around 6 AM all through the trip. After breakfast & packing we carried Stony Falls, had a short upstream paddle then carried Little Stony on the left, then into Dog Lake. Gentle winds to start, so we set sail. However, the wind starded blowing at least as strong as Saturday. We pulled off on a small island and hung out for awhile. We found just enough room to sit more or less comfortably. After 3 hours or so we thought the wind was dropping a bit so we packed up and headed out. We were about 1 KM out when we realized the Emma's rain coat had been grabbed by a bush when we were carrying back to load the canoes. Emma & I turned around and went back to get it while the others waited. The wind started to pick up & we fought a head wind back to the the rain caot. Heading back up the waves picked up & we started to get some splash from the breakers. We caught up with the others in a small bay. Explored a bit & found a spot good enough to camp on (more or less). About 4:30 we decided that it was a wind day & did set up camp. Had some heavy gusts & rain later, then some clearing. Much entertainment trying to get Jay's fishing reel out of the lake where it fell when the foot broke. No luck, but Bob dove in & retrieved it in the morning.
Monday, July 13: "Over the height of Land". Up and off by 7:45 AM. The winds were sailable and we moved right along. Chose not to stop in at Missanabie, but kept going. Lunch at a camp site at the entrance to the narrows. Beautiful flowers, but some trash. The Height of Land portage is boggy to start and end. One canoe at a time to unload. The put in is easier/drier if you go right a bit. Very wet straight ahead. A nice run up Crooked lake but some head wind at the end. Saw a black bear swim across to the far side just before camp. Arrived at a nice camp site about 5:30. No rain today.
Tuesday, July 14:"Fairy Point & Barclay Bay". Very calm this morning. We need a moose to show us the start of the portage to Missinaibi Lake. An easy portage and off on the lake by 9 AM. A short paddle over to Fairy Point to view the pictographs and the rock formations. It was almost chilly by the rocks. This is a very special place. We took lots of pictures, but they really don't do it justice. It was a blessing that we had a clear calm day as this point has a reputation for being dangerous in a wind. We stopped at Whitefish Falls where the Little Missinaibi river meets the lake for lunch and exploration. With the sun beating down it seemed almost too hot as we paddled up the lake. We planned to stop at Bells Island to camp, but the site was occupied. Camped at the group site at the Barclay Bay campground. We had time for a swim & to dry out some laundry. There were fresh bear tracks on the beach around the corner.
Wednesday, July 15: To the River". We were up early & packed, but needed to wait for Dan to make a 9 AM phone call. The first pancake breakfast. That worked better than I thought it might have. It rained some in the AM and really picked up after we were through the narrows. We stopped on a sandy beach & squeezed back into the woods to get out of the rain & have some lunch. After four days of lake travel we are on the river! We scouted Quittagene rapids & then ran it. There was no sign of the submerged log sluice at this water level. Emma & I ran a bit too far right & shipped some water. At the campsite past the Hay River a group ahead of us left a "hello" spelled out in orange peels with daisy decorations. Dan checked out the camp and found three paddles, one new. The middle of Long Rapids looked like class II not class I. Emma & I eddied out left half way down then finished the run. Camped about 4:30 at the Flying Post Creek site. Small, but surprisingly few bugs. We saw one moose a long distance ahead during the day.
Thursday, July 16: "Fish Fry Potluck". Up and out and ready for some rapids. Sun rapid was a bit wild. Jay ran Hap's line to the right, but couldn't see the rocks to "thread the needle" and banged some. He almost broached on one. At the bottom he pointed up left. We ran that way & plowed through some big waves and wondered why he pointed that way as we didn't really know what problems he had. I guess that left may have been best after all. Barrel rapids was an easy run. Dan caught 4 walleye & Bob caught 1 in a small rapid. Two of the fish were quite large. We planned to stop at the Peterbell site for a shore lunch with the fish, but there was a large (7 canoes) group there so we had lunch at the bridge & fed the bugs. The weather had been a bit off all day, but it became worse for a while in the marsh. We had a sun shower followed by strong head winds and a blast of rain. There were some very interesting clouds. The weather cleared up before we turned right to the campsite on the rocky outcrop in the marsh. This was a very nice large site with plenty of room and great views. Dan cooked five pans of fish, Mary baked corn bread and we added a two person "Meals With Wheels" and everyone was well fed.
Friday, July 17: "The Greenhill Slog". Off down the river looking for moose, but we saw none. Swamp rapids looked big, but had several lines. Jay took the main left – right run. We wiggled through on the right at the top. At Allen Island there seems to be a new logjam forming 50 yards or so above the main jam and portage. We pushed over two logs to get through. That portage is ugly and rough. We had thought about camping at Wavy Rapid, but were concerned about the large group dropping in late so we chose to get Greenhill out of the way today. Wavy was big. It looked like the second wave would stop & swamp a loaded canoe. Jay & I were reminded of Cucumber Rapid or the runout from Swimmers Rapid on the Yough. We were able to run far right to just above the campsite, then a short portage. It rained some during the day. We were concerned about the water levels at Greenhill, so we opted for the portage. I don't know which would have been worse, but the portage was an experience. It was very wet and muddy. Carrying the packs wasn't so bad, but the canoes were another thing entirely. We camped in the tight site at the end of the portage. It rained hard from 8 to 10 or so. Lots of wet gear, but the tents stayed dry.
Saturday, July 18: "Rain and Thunder (Falls)". We were able to break camp and have breakfast before the rain came again. We looked at St. Peter Rapid and gave him the courtesy of a portage. There were complications every where we looked. It could have been fun in a play boat, but on a cool, wet, gray day with loaded trippers, a walk seemed pleasant. It was raining through the Split Rock portage. There was a single tent with a father & son having a lay over day camped there. We pushed on to Thunder Falls where we had planned to camp. The rain stopped before the portage. The class I rapid just before the falls seemed to be washed out, so we had no problems with the landing. We camped at the big site across the pool. This is another special site. There is a big sandy beach and camping area with some more sites back in the forest. The floods have washed sand out from under some of the cedar roots leaving lots of cave like spaces. We hung gear out to dry, but there was not much sun & wind. Dan fished with no luck except losing a bass and his favorite lure in the rapid below. Mary & Emma explored on the rocks by the falls. I went down to look at the run out rapid.
Sunday, July 19: "Bonus Day". Up and out, but not in a hurry. We puttered around a bit trying to dry out some gear. We had some rain during the night and it became chilly & picked up again after the first rapid. Dan had spotted a good line there when fishing. Drop into the top right eddy then peel out the bottom & go left. In the eddy, Dan found his lucky lure high & dry on a rock. Dan & Mary went up the Fire River to see the falls & trappers cabin. The rest of the group continued down the river. The rain let up after awhile. We stopped at the Brunswick portage for a snack and again to feed the bugs. After this we began to get some sun showers, but still cool. After lunch it changed to sun with fair weather clouds. Yeah!! We camped at the First Lake Rapid island site (rapid 30). This is a great site! We hung everything out to dry. Dan caught a mess of fish for breakfast. Jay hooked a big one twice, but lost it both times. The sky is perfectly clear this evening.
Monday, July 20: "Sunshine". Sunny all day with fair weather clouds in the afternoon. We had fish and pancakes for breakfast, so we didn't leave until 10:30. Dan & Mary headed over to look at the falls on the creek from First Lake and to fish. We didn't see them until the Camp 95 Bridge. Stopped at a campsite marked on the bank that was not on any map for a stretch and snack. Lunch & nap was at Camp 95 rapid. Stopped at the bridge to wander around a bit. Dan, Mary and some fish showed up while we were there. They were getting tired of towing the fish, but we still had a way to go to camp at Two Portages Falls. We arrived at camp about 5 PM. Scouted the runout rapid for the morning & thought it looked ok.
Tuesday, July 21: "To Big Beaver". It's busy to start on this leg of the trip and then no marked campsites for a long ways. In 1997 we had spotted a cut coming down to the river and explored to find a gravel pit where we camped. That was a late September trip se the day's were shorter. We had originally planned to camp there again this trip, but decided to try to skip on through to Big Beaver. The run out rapid from Two Portages was fun. We carried the full route around Pond Falls. The class III stretch looked nasty for loaded boats. Carried Devils Cap Falls and had fun running the rest. A little splash, but no big deal. The class II ledge below was an interesting tight right run. Pulled off far left to look at Z-Drag and have lunch. We carried the packs over and ran the far left drop. In 1997 we had lunch on rocks that were underwater today. Quite warm and sunny this afternoon. The path to the gravel pit looked overgrown. We didn't stop to explore though. The Albany swifts were fun at this water level. At low water it seemed to take two hours of picking and banging to make our way through. This year we were through and into the rapids below in no time. The first rapid was pretty easy. After that Dan & Mary were far left and seemed far below us. I was looking ahead trying to see where we were going to loose the elevation, but couldn't see the ledge until we were nearly on top of it. I guess that's why it's called "Sleeping Beauty". No problems there though. The final drop is rated class II. We came up to it looking at the far left. I thought we might stop to scout, but ran on through. Dan & Mary had gone left close to the rock. As we were dropping into the wave train we saw them drop into a hole and slowly swamp. We took on about 10 gal of water in the waves, but were able to help pull them to shore while Jay & Bob pushed. Nothing lost except a sock and a fishing pole. As we were coming into Big Beaver we saw three boys fishing from the bank. After we were past we heard them fire up a motorcycle or Quad. As we were portaging into camp we found a new ATV trail cut into the portage. Dan & Mary camped at the upper sites while the rest of us camped at the lower. I was tired, but the next day is a layover day.
Wednesday July 22: "Layover Day". Not long after breakfast two men and a boy came down the new ATV trail in a "Argo" an 8 wheel drive go anywhere utility vehicle to go fishing. Note that we are still in the provincial part and motorized ground access is not allowed. They fished the pool and from the center island, but didn't have much luck and left around noon. We did laundry, swam, and explored. There were thunderstorms off to the east in the afternoon. We had some light rain. We did a pot luck dinner with much of the remaining camp food this evening. Six men portaged through on their way to Glassy Falls about 6 PM. They were carrying enough gear for a month, but are just headed to Mattice. They said that they had dumped in Albany Rapids (Sleeping Beauty from the sounds of it) and one canoe was taped up. One of the canoes they were carrying was a Scott. I think it's a popular inexpensive canoe in Canada. Most of those we have seen have been broken below falls & rapids. They let us know that the youth camp group would be coming through tonight as well. They stopped to scout Little Beaver and portaged it. About 8 PM the group from the Sudbury youth camp arrived. Two leaders and 12 campers. This is a high adventure leadership training camp. They are on their way to Moosonee, having put in at Missanabie. We made sure they had room to set up and have the fire ring. The kids set up their three tents in the middle space while the leaders were next to us. Their group also dumped a canoe at Albany Rapids making it three dumps for three groups there. We enjoyed talking with the leaders while they dried out their tent. The tents & wannagan were in the canoe that dumped. Three campers came down to the fire to cook later. They had a big pot to boil for the 12 campers. A pleasant group the kids were all 15. We had a little bit of rain at bed time. Their group had left the Hello at the Hay River camp for another group from the same camp that is several days behind. We were able to return the three paddles we found there. They were grateful as they had lost some while running Greenhill. Talking to the leaders, the Missinaibi is almost an easy river for them given some of the other rivers they have been out on in the past.
Thursday, July 23: "to Mattice". We were up and out early. The Sudbury group weren't stirring yet. We scouted Little Beaver, but didn't see any problems & ran it easily. Sharp Rock was basically a lift over rather than a portage today. The launch was a little tricky, but no problems. At Glassy Falls we caught up with the six men that had portaged through the previous evening. We chatted for a while and found that they were from Smooth Rock Falls & Kapuskasing and basically locals. They had only put in at the Camp 95 bridge. The day cleared up and became sunny. At Crow Island Rapids we saw the remains of the Pak Canoe that had wrapped there in early July on the far left. We could see a rocky ledge on the right, but were able to pick our way through the left center with no problems. Arrived in Mattice around 1:30 and called Owen and Denise for shuttle to Hearst. Into Hearst for hotel, shower, and beer. Picked fresh food at the supermarket down highway 11 for dinner & the train the next day. Played cards outside until the skeeters drove us in. The train is running slow this year and didn't arrive until around 10 PM.
Friday, July 24: "Slow Train Home". Yep, the ACR is running slow this year. 30 MPH on the good tracks and 15 on the bad. We had a Tim's hike in the AM before portaging the boats & gear from the hotel's shed to the train. We talked to a couple that the come up yesterday on a "Tour of the Line". Planned to have dinner at the hotel, stay over, then back to the Soo the next day. They didn't arrive until about 10 (about 3 hours late) and the hotel restaurant closed then. They were able to get something to eat at the hotel bar, but have a long day ahead today. We were only about 2 hours late arriving at Hawk Junction. Loaded and off to Dan's place by the Black River. Our car was the random check winner at customs after 40 minutes on the bridge, but no real problem, just another 10 min delay. Dinner at the American Soo then to Dan's cabin. We arrived there about 10 PM after picking up eggs and bacon for tomorrow.
Saturday, July 25: "Home finally". A big breakfast of bacon eggs, fresh bread and coffee. More rain over night & on the way home. We ran through a good storm south of Shepherd, but no problems. Home and drying out gear. We had a great trip, but it's good to be home.

Yes, it is laborious. Very, very exhausting to set aside the workbook and orderly math progression by a defined curriculum and shift to what appears to be a messy, random bunch of games and fingers-on activities.
Yes, I'd say that either of these would be superb for helping a three-year previous study. In case you take a look at the manufacturer's web sites you'll see among the games and apps which are available. Together with a description of the app/recreation, additionally they give some details about their learning and developmental advantages. Martha Rogers was an excellent pioneer in the nursing profession. Her teachings formed a variety of our careers! Beautiful tribute!
Eighty p.c of Individuals call themselves environmentalists, and such a program, if properly performed, could be extremely widespread. Sponsors might embrace leading environmental organizations. All our old buddies from Sesame Road appear in learning games and movies here. It's a good place for a preschooler to vanish into for a while, with the wealth of games and videos obtainable.
Sumblox presents learners of all ages a new potential on problem fixing by means of open-ended play. Though these blocks are shaped like numbers they're additionally really nice for supporting inventive play. Establishing and constructing towers, bridges or even fences in an imaginary story encourages learning by means of play. I also LOVE your suggestion of studying extra literature. I am planning on taking neuroscience within the fall which needs to be enjoyable!
