text: education Science Teachers May Not Help Climate Change Understanding By Emily Cureton & Geoffrey Riley • Feb 12, 2016 NASA/Public Domain Listen Listening... / 22:11 Dr. Eric Plutzer shares results from a national survey of teachers. If we're counting on the next generation to come up with solutions for climate change, we might be expecting too much. Especially since schools may not be helping explain climate science adequately. Political scientist Eric Plutzer at Penn State just published an article in Science about issues with science teachers teaching about climate change in schools. Plutzer points out ways in which teachers' knowledge and values can hinder climate education. Pushing The Envelope In Private Education By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Dec 16, 2015 Red Hen Press Listen Listening... / 36:49 Paul Cummins shares his approach to education. The current emphasis on the STEM subjects in school--Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math--leaves a few educators cold. Because there's more to creating a well-rounded individual than what's in books. Paul Cummins certainly thought so in his 32 years at the ground-breaking Crossroads School in California. The school challenged the notion that a quality private education is only for rich, white, and privileged kids. His memoir, Confessions of a Headmaster, recounts his years as an educator, and considers where education is moving today. Restorative Justice In School By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Nov 23, 2015 Wikipedia Commons Listen Listening... / 21:14 Raphaelle Kunkel, Jani Hale, and Angela Escalante describe restorative justice in school. "You go say you're sorry to Bobby." Phrases like that have been heard for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. And what do kids actually learn from the experience? That's a question being considered in the Phoenix-Talent School District, which wants to move beyond punishment and into "restorative justice." That is a concept embraced by Resolve (formerly Mediation Works), which teamed up with the district on a project to introduce restorative justice to Phoenix High School. An App For Safer Schools By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Nov 18, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 16:13 Claudia Vincent details Project SOAR. High school students may want safe schools free of bullying and violence, but they're often reluctant to take concerns directly to school authorities. But maybe if a smartphone app made the process easier, things would change. That's the general approach outlined in Project SOAR, Student Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility, now in development at Eugene-based Iris Educational Media. The project is backed by a federal grant, and includes plans for testing at high schools in Illinois and Springfield, Oregon. Delia Ephron Brings "Manners" Back By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Nov 2, 2015 Just when people think manners may be in decline, along comes a helper. A proven one, at that. 25 years ago, author and screenwriter Delia Ephron published Do I Have to Say Hello? Aunt Delia's Manners Quiz for Kids and Their Grownups. The charming, soft-but-firm approach of the book helps kids learn and gives adults a few chuckles and smiles. Time To Change Some School Names? By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Sep 29, 2015 National Archives Listen Listening... / 18:56 Jenoge Khatter explains his thinking on TR. Eugene School District is building a replacement for Roosevelt Middle School, and at least one of its teachers thinks the name could be replaced as well. Theodore Roosevelt is just one of many white men for whom schools are named. RMS history teacher Jenoge Khatter says plenty of women and people from minority groups are worthy of such recognition. He's even constructed an online petition to take input. "Thirty Million Words" For A Child's Brain By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Sep 1, 2015 Penguin Books Listen Listening... / 41:32 Dana Suskind blow our minds with talk of growing brains. Any parent waiting for a great teacher to come forward for their child is waiting too long. Parents are the first teachers, educators point out. And the Thirty Million Words initiative is meant to give parents the tools to help build good brains in their kids, through the frequent and judicious use of language. The approach is detailed in a new book. Increasing The Ranks Of Minority Teachers By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Aug 26, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 21:52 Kelly Ramirez and Susan Faller-Mitchell talk about classroom diversity. Lagging student performance in public schools often focuses on minority students. Often--not always--the darker the skin, the lower the grades. More minority teachers could help, and that's where Kelly Ramirez comes in. The Grants Pass resident is a senior at Southern Oregon University, the first in her family to attend college. And she plans on teaching when she graduates. Oregon Flunking High School Graduations By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Aug 12, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 22:02 Nancy Golden talks about the approach to bringing graduation rates up. Depending on how you measure it, Oregon's high school graduation rate is either the worst in the country, or just near the bottom. Neither version provides any solace for educational leaders, who clearly have some work to do. Nancy Golden is Oregon's Chief Education Officer, responsible for a system now aimed at education from birth to career. Roseburg Teacher Recognized, Even After Retirement By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Aug 5, 2015 weebly.com Listen Listening... / 17:16 Don Crossfield and Chloe Ruffin talk teaching... and learning FROM students. Don Crossfield retired from teaching full-time three years ago. And people still can't stop thanking him for his work, and rewarding it. The former Roseburg High School math teacher (he still subs) recently picked up an award from the Oregon Council of Teachers of Mathematics for his years of making his subject matter crystal-clear to students. Oregon Teacher Union Chief Speaks Out By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Jun 29, 2015 OEA Listen Listening... / 21:57 Hanna Vaandering explains WHY teachers do not like high-stakes standardized tests. We can't seem to go a week without some news about standardized testing. It's the accepted way to measure the progress of students. But when student progress is extrapolated to measure teacher quality, that's when the National Education Association and its state affiliates get their backs up. The national Representative Assembly this week includes Oregon Education Association President Hanna Vaandering. VENTSday: Death Penalty + Testing Opt-Out By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Jun 17, 2015 Listen Listening... / 22:17 Listeners vent on the death penalty and testing. Nebraska's legislature ended the death penalty in the state three weeks ago, touching off another debate about the use and value of executing criminals. We want to know what you think about the subject, and about another subject: letting parents excuse their children from taking the standardized "smarter balanced" tests in school. Our weekly VENTSday segment puts listeners front and center. We throw a pair of topics on the table, and let callers and emailers vent--politely--on those topics. Topics range from the global to the hyper-local, and all responsible opinions are welcome. Sending Kids Outdoors To Learn By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • Jun 4, 2015 sou.edu Listen Listening... / 16:32 Jeremy Clothier details the Fall in the Field program. There's only so much anyone can learn in a classroom. Learning about things like the environment get a lot easier IN the environment. That's the basic premise of the Fall in the Field program offered by Southern Oregon University. Graduate students in environmental education set up courses for kids in the 4th grade and up at several locations around the region. Outdoor Education OUT-of-Doors By Geoffrey Riley & Emily Cureton • May 19, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 16:58 Bethany Osborne and Dave Lacy boost outdoor education. Oregon and California are both brimming with natural wonders. And kids do learn about the many natural features in school, but often in classrooms. Outdoor School For All wants to fling open the classroom doors in Oregon, so students get education ABOUT the outdoors IN the outdoors. The movement got bills introduced in both houses of the Oregon legislature to provide a week of outdoor education or its equivalent for all fifth and sixth graders. Twisting The "Short Bus" Into A Positive By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Apr 16, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 40:13 Jonathan Mooney talks about embracing "neuro-diversity" in education. Jonathan Mooney took a derogatory term and turned it on its head. He rode "the short bus" to school once he was diagnosed with learning disabilities and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (LD/ADHD). After his graduation from an Ivy League university, he took a real short bus on the road, meeting people who defied the constraints of "normal." Mooney is part of a conference on "reframing" LD/ADHD next week in Medford. Teachers And Technology At Ed Tech Summit By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Apr 15, 2015 Almonroth/Wikimedia Commons Listen Listening... / 14:58 Virginia Petitt discusses the technology/learning equation. In theory, the process of learning is usually the same: teachers teach, and students learn. But then throw technology into the mix, and all bets are off, especially in a world where so many people carry powerful computers in their hands. The Ed Tech Summit this week (Friday, April 17th) at Southern Oregon University brings educators and gadgets together, so the former can get up to speed on the latter. Missing Out On Quality Preschool By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Apr 9, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 14:31 Libby Doggett explains the findings about children NOT in publicly-funded preschool. The federal Department of Education and the White House are big on "high-quality preschool"... pre-kindergarten programs that get kids ready for school. And a recent DOE report shows that many American students are not enrolled in such programs. The percentages are even higher in California and Oregon. Celebrating Early College Programs By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Mar 16, 2015 Wikimedia Listen Listening... / 16:47 Daniella Bivens describes the workings of RCC's early college programs. The determined high school student can leave high school with a diploma in one hand, and college credits in the other. Early college programs abound, and in fact are celebrated during Early College Week, next week (March 22-28). Rogue Community College is one of the many institutions that offers early college. More Student, Less Teacher: Competency-Based Learning By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Feb 16, 2015 Wikipedia Commons Listen Listening... / 17:01 Moneeka Settles, Michael Oxendine and David Downey describe the workings of INL. Education has come a long way in this country. We're very far from the days of memorization and rote learning... but also far from satisfying ourselves that we're doing a good job teaching our kids, and students of all ages. Now throw "competency-based learning" into the mix. It further de-emphasizes the connection between student and classroom seat, and--in theory--lets students learn at their own rate. Southern Oregon University's Innovation and Leadership program is competency-based; it gives older students credit for what they've learned in life, though outside the classroom. Making A Case For More School Money In Oregon By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren • Jan 20, 2015 promiseoregon.org Listen Listening... / 21:41 Betsy Miller-Jones fills us in on the details of "The Promise of Oregon." Oregon's state government income is rising so fast, taxpayers might get refund checks under the state's "kicker" law this year. But education advocates want to see some of the increased revenue going to schools, to reduce class sizes and make other improvements. The Oregon School Boards Association--OSBA--demonstrates school successes with its "Promise of Oregon" campaign. Pages« first ‹ previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 next › last »

I see so many booklovers writing that they would like to read more fantasy novels by female authors but they struggle to find the books. I am here to help! Over the past couple of years my female to male authors ratio has been essentially 99:1 so I thought I'd share as many as I can to help those looking for inspiration. I haven't loved all of these, but reviewing/ranking these women is not the intention of this post. The first section I have loosely divided into sub-genres and are all books by female authors that I have read/started reading and want to continue. Then I have listed some 'Honourable Mentions' which are books by female authors I have on my radar either on my Goodreads tbr shelf or on my physical bookshelves.

New Year Book Tag
Let's kick 2019 off with a fun tag. I saw this over on Drew's blog and thought I'd give it a go. The original was posted on the booktube channel Bookables. If you fancy doing it too, consider yourself tagged!
How many books are you planning to read in 2019?
Well…last year I set my Goodreads target at 12 because I didn't want to pressure myself & ended up reading 160 books… So this year I've gone for 150 but I already feel like I'm falling behind! I'm going to try and forget about it and just read like I normally would and see what happens. I'd like to hit 200 one year but that feels a way off yet.
Name five books you didn't get to read last year but want to make a priority in 2019?
1. Bloody Rose – Nicholas Eames
2. Fire & Blood – GRR Martin
3. In the Region of the Summer Stars – Stephen Lawhead
4. Child of a Mad God – RA Salvatore
5. Tombland – CJ Sansom
Name a genre you want to read more of?
Not really a genre, but I'd like to read more non-fiction this year. Fiction-wise I'm happy sticking to fantasy and its various sub-genres
Three non-book related goals for 2019
1. settle into my new job
2. plan our wedding
3. travel more in the UK
What's a book you've had forever that you still need to read?
A Natural History of Dragons – Marie Brennan
One word that you're hoping 2019 will be?
(not a very exciting word, granted, but I have lots I want to get done this year so here's hoping I manage it 😀 )
Phedre's Trilogy | Jacqueline Carey | series review
'love as though wilt'
I read and adored Jacqueline Carey's magnificent Phedre's Trilogy last year so I thought I'd combine my reviews for the trilogy here in case you fancy some exquisite writing and epic romance in a Renaissance-esque fantasy setting. Featuring royalty, pirates, kidnapping and betrayal, happy reading!

2018 Reading Wrap Up
Happy 2019 everyone! I hope you've all had a wonderful festive period and are excited to begin a new year.
Reading through my 2017 reading wrap up, I feel a bit disappointed to write that I've had another year where the majority of the books I've read have been a bit average. That's not to say that I haven't enjoyed the majority of my reads, just that not many really stick out now we're at the end of the year. Continue reading "2018 Reading Wrap Up"
2019 Reading Resolutions
Now I need to open with a disclaimer – this is not, as such, a list of resolutions. It would be more accurate to describe this as 'a list of books/series I would like to get to this year', but I won't cry if I don't manage them all nor will I be revolutionising/changing the way I do my reading. But that doesn't make for a catchy title, does it?
I am a lover of lists. I even recently found a list of lists I need to make in one of my notebooks, but my problem is that I don't keep them in one place, nor do I regularly go back to check if I've completed the tasks. I use them more for a kind of brain dump for what's bothering me/floating in my head at the time. Which is all very well and good, but doesn't help me in relation to remembering which books I want to read/what new releases are upcoming. I find it tricky to remember which series I'm waiting for a new book in, which ones I just need to buy the sequels for, and which new releases I have my eye on. So my plan is to type up a central list of books/series I would like to read so that I can come back to it over the year and remember.
Are you ready for my ultimate list? Are you sure? It's pretty long… Here we go: Continue reading "2019 Reading Resolutions"
A Time of Blood | John Gwynne | a review
A Time of Blood is book two of John Gwynne's Of Blood and Bone series and I received an advanced copy of this book from the publishers in exchange for an honest review. Huge thanks to Pan Macmillan and Tor UK for this.
It's not often that I finish a book I love and struggle to articulate why everyone else will love it too. It's been over twelve hours since I finished this masterpiece and my prevailing thought remains 'it's fantastic, read it, it's fantastic, read it'… So I will do my best to explain why you should. I'd also like to note that while there are references to events and characters in Gwynne's The Faithful and the Fallen series, this series can be read without having read them. You can find my review of the first book in this series, A Time of Dread, here.
A Time of Blood is the perfect sequel, it delivers more Continue reading "A Time of Blood | John Gwynne | a review"
Favourite Reads | 2018
Despite having read quite widely this year, I haven't read many stand-out books. I've read lots of good ones, funny ones, entertaining ones, but few 'oh my I will reread this for the rest of my life' books. Apart from those listed below… they have really left their mark on me. Instead of writing full reviews I have chosen some quotes to whet your appetite. If I have previously reviewed them on here or on Goodreads, I will link it so you can investigate further if you so wish. So without further ado, here be some greatness: Continue reading "Favourite Reads | 2018"

Midwest Landscape Specialists Inc. of St John, IN, uses 3D Renderings for Front Entrance and Walkway Design
In order to give the clients peace of mind and simplify their decision-making processes, Midwest Landscape Specialists of St John, IN, rendered a 3D model of their envisioned front entrance and walkway. Although the homeowners had originally planned to use a different paver, they fell in love with these Richcliff pavers in a blend of Pebble Taupe and Dawn Mist.
Basalt Courtstone pavers form a bold double border that clearly defines the edges of the paved surface. The small format of these Courtstone pavers allows them to yield to the curves in the walkway and form a snug outline.
The 3D model depicts a low wall constructed using Olde Quarry wall units in the Sandstone shade. Series 3000 pavers in Onyx were suggested to create banding that echoes the Courtstone borders. Buff Ledgestone Coping and Pillar Caps were selected to finish off the low wall, offering pitched edges that add texture to the hardscape design and work interchangeably with virtually any wall.

The finished product showcases how well the Sandstone Olde Quarry wall units complement the siding of the home. Not only is the chosen shade a perfect match to that of the brick siding, but the texture of these wall units also serve to complement the aesthetic of the home. The tall, rounded windows and black steel lanterns with which the home is adorned give it a traditional, and romantic, look and feel. Olde Quarry wall units have an antiqued finish that enhances the aesthetic theme of the home, allowing it to appear better anchored to the landscape.
Although these homeowners were initially thrilled by the appearance of Unilock Richcliff pavers, they were utterly convinced once they learned more about their intrinsic qualities. Richcliff pavers are manufactured using cutting-edge EnduraColor Facemix Technology from Unilock, which ensures highly pigmented pavers that are thoroughly protected from fading and mechanical stress. Care must be taken to use a protection device when compacting Richcliff pavers to ensure that their protective surface is not grazed by impact equipment.

SimilarWeb has a nice compare and contrast feature so you can track monthly visits to two different sites, and as you can see above, Sansar.com and HighFidelity.com are definitely gaining interest - up to 151K and 61K visits, respectively, last month. "Visits" are not the same as unique users, and a pretty good rule of thumb is to assume ~5 visits per actual person. (Since a single visitor is usual clicking on images and other links on the site which might also be recorded as "visits"). So on that logic, an educated guess is in July, around 12,000 people visited High Fidelity, while 30,000 people visited the Sansar page. No surprise there, as Sansar's open beta, widely covered in the tech and gaming media, was last month. Site visitors, of course, are not the same as people who actually created a user account, downloaded the client, and actually visited the world. A good rough guess is 10-20% of visitors did that in July -- i.e. low to mid-thousands.
By contrast, compare Sansar.com visits with SecondLife.com visits:
22 million visits to SecondLife.com last month. We know monthly users of Second Life are around 900,000, a lot of whom use the official portal to access their account, buy/sell Linden Dollars, etc, which is going to increase average "visits" way more than 5x per person. In any case, it's likely quite a few non-users are still hitting the site too!

Chairman's Awards Brochure
National Grid
HOW International 2014
Mobius 2014
A real talking point amongst attendees
Recognising outstanding achievement
Every year National Grid holds the Chairman's Awards which recognise the outstanding efforts and achievements of National Grid employees.The award categories include: Innovation, Health and Wellbeing, Safety, Environment, Inclusion and Diversity, Community Contribution and Customer Delivery.
The client was keen to have a link to the venue, DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, and the theme of 'Performance' – a key area of focus for National Grid. Our solution takes inspiration from the venue, maintaining a sculptural feel throughout. An unusual six-page die-cut wrap-around cover was used, alongside pop-up and die-cut pages with bespoke silhouettes, introducing each category. Several different finishes were used, including 'hi-light' (UV varnish) and embossing.
"We were delighted with what WPA provided. It was creative, fun, packed full of pop-up surprises and just invited you to pick it up. "

Asymmetric organocatalysis is becoming an increasingly useful approach since its first application in 2000. It is complementary and sometimes better approach to metal catalysis. Different activation modes and catalysts were developed to activate the carbonyl compounds. In this thesis, we tried to use various organocatalysts to activate aldehydes to undergo C-C bond formation reactions. In the second chapter, amine catalysts were used to catalyze the α-alkylation of aldehydes with indole derived diaryl alcohols. Anti-selective products with good yields and enantioselectivities were generated, and their selectivities were opposite to that obtained in literature. Brønsted acids were added as co-catalysts to aid the formation of carbocations. Later, similar acids, as sole catalysts, were found to catalyze the SN1-type alkylation of aldehydes with diaryl alcohols as described in the third chapter. Besides the role to generate the carbocations, acids also accelerated the enolization of aldehydes. Allylic alcohols and α,α-disubstituted aldehydes were effective substrates for this strategy. For the above two reactions, DFT calculations were carried out to support the proposed transition states and reaction pathways. The fourth chapter deals with the activation of carbohydrates as formaldehyde equivalent for the Stetter reaction with chalcones using N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. Carbohydrates such as C6-, C5- and C4-sugars worked well. Among them C5-sugars gave the best results. Paraformaldehyde as formaldehyde precursor was also studied. The Stetter products could be obtained with good yields in both cases.

Combined Heat and Power in Louisiana: Opportunities for Improving Resiliency, Emissions Compliance Requirements and Efficiency
David Dismukes. Funded by Louisiana Department of Natural Resources. Project Funding: $90,000.
The objectives of this study are to update prior work assessing the current state of the CHP industry and its technical/cost-effectiveness potential with particular emphasis on changes that have arisen over the past 24 months with the actual industrial/petrochemical expansion.
This research will incorporate two additional new research topics. The first will examine the degree to which CHP can assist in facilitating electric power system resiliency and reliability. The second topic will examine the degree to which CHP could be used as a compliance option for meeting any future potential clean climate regulatory requirements, like those envisioned in the Environmental Protection Agency's recently-promulgated Clean power Plan.
The results from this research can be used to facilitate improvements in Louisiana's energy efficiency, energy security, reliability, and emergency response capabilities.

My first VIP box was awesome, my second one not as good as the first one but okay and now I received my third VIP box already! I'm very happy with it! It really contained some beautiful things I can always use like a shining lip gloss, scrub glove and a clear nail polish. I am also very curious if you are a member of a beauty box. This is my first membership and until now I'm very satisfied! I love it! Also tell me in the comments what you think about the VIP box!
So first of all there was a clear nail polish in this box from Nail Girls. I'm very curious at this product since it's not on the markets yet. In September it will be announced at London fashion week and I just have it in my hands already. It promises to be a 3 in 1: base/top coat and nail strengthener. If it really works? I didn't test it yet, but let me know in the comments if you want a full review on this polish. At least it looks nice and a girl can never have enough clear nail polishes, right? This nail polish will be €10,-.
I totally loved this box, let me know in the comments what you think! You can be a member of the VIP box as well, it's €12.50 per month and when you order this box for multiple months you get a discount.
This is not an advertorial or anything, I just really like this box and am a member, so why not show it to you? XOXO Anna

This is our magazine and blogging page where we write about things that interest us; perhaps they will interest and inform you too!
Metalasia is a widespread shrub of the daisy family found extensively in the Western Cape and beyond across Africa. What fascinates us about Metalasia or blombos (Afrikaans common name meaning "flowering/blooming bush") are its prolific, early winter blooms, mostly white, but also found in a fascinating variety of pastel tints including mint green, straw yellow, gold, pale strawberry, pale brown and even more in-between. As such, Metalasia reflects the diversity of landscape be it style, vegetation, land form, colour, season, climate, location. Here are some photographs of these beautiful but very tough fynbos/strandveld plants.
Blogs can also be found on the Metalasia menu above. This is a new feature we are trying so it's early days yet on content.
COPYRIGHT WARNING: All images and text on this site are Copyright © NWA and may not be reproduced without the written permission and acknowledgement of New World Associates.
Metalasia growing on the slopes of Muizenberg, Cape Town in 2014. This is the mountain which burnt down in the great fire of April 2015 leaving little but white sand and ashes.
The variation in colours on display: white (left) and rose (right).
Close up of the common white form showing the maroon centre with the yellow stamens and stigma protruding.
Dense blankets of white metalasia/blombos come out in late autumn (May) and bloom until mid-winter (July). The mountain looks like a winter-bride and makes a stunning display at the start of winter!
More colour variations: gold (left) and mint (right).
Closer view of the rose heads, here not quite open. It is the scaly bracts not the petals themselves that create the colour.
When viewed up close, the very fine metalasia flowers are typical composite flowers of the daisy family (Asteraceae).

What's better than mixing the Easter Bunny with a horde of the Easter egg-crazed undead? If you said nothing, congratulations, we've got an app for you — Bunny the Zombie Slayer, today's leading game and a fun exercise in anti-zombie, egg-flinging physics. You can read all about it on today's Fresh Games list below, along with a quality match-three title in Burning Birds, and an update to the addictive battle-driving game Death Rally.
Bunny the Zombie Slayer (iPhone, iPad) $0.99
Just in time for Easter festivities comes Bunny the Zombie Slayer, a game that mixes the Easter bunny, egg hunts, physics-based action and zombies into one awesome package. As the Easter Bunny, you have to protect some oblivious, egg-hunting kids from their zombified families, friends and neighbors. From behind your sandbag fortifications, you lob your magic Easter eggs at the incoming zombie horde, trying to take them out as quickly and efficiently as possible. As always, headshots are the best way.
In a setup a lot like Plants vs. Zombies, you'll play defense from the left side of the screen while zombies come toward you from the right. Touching on the screen lets you aim the arc of your thrown eggs, but you'll have to think carefully because your angles are limited. If you get into trouble, you can use a special egg that clears the screen, but you only have a limited number of these; multiple headshots in a row earns you more, so accuracy is key to long-term survival.
Burning Birds (iPhone, iPad) $0.99
The bottom half of Burning Birds is a lot like Tetris. There are piles of eggs below a bird sitting on a power line, and if you tap the bird when a thought balloon appears above its head, it'll lay another egg. Three in a row of the same color clears the eggs from the screen, and each group of eggs goes toward clearing the level. The trick is clearing groups of eggs that also include coins, which increase your score for the stage.
But the match-three aspect is only part of the game: Sometimes power surges will come along the power line that you'll need to dodge by tapping your bird. And as the game goes on, you'll get more and more birds under your control, each with different eggs and each needing protection from the surges. The more birds you can keep alive, the more points you'll pull down, but lose them all and it's game over.
Death Rally update (iPhone, iPad) $2.99
Remedy Entertainment is making Death Rally a better and better deal all the time. Before, this racing battle game that encouraged you to blow up your opponents as much as out-race them carried a lot of goodness — a bunch of tracks, five cars and several weapons. In a previous update, Death Rally added another car and new weapons to its roster of implements of destruction.
This time around, Remedy has packed in more events to take advantage of the varied gameplay that comes with new weapons. Last time, it added levels where nitro boosts were the only power-up on a track, causing quite a lot of mayhem among the racers. This time, challenges are weapons-specific, putting gatling guns, sniper rifles and more in the hands of everyone on the track. Remedy has also fixed a lot of bugs and added left-handed controls.

Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Paleo Friendly!
Serving Size: Serves 1 | Prep time: 10min | Cook Time: 15min
Haven't heard of Maca before? Maca originally comes from a plant, known scientifically as Lepidium meyenii, and is sometimes referred to as Peruvian ginseng. Maca is known to provide numerous health benefits, such as enhanced learning and memory, and boosted brain function. It is also known to balance mood and hormone levels. Maca root is a good source of carbs, low in fat and contains a fair amount of fiber. It's also high in antioxidants, adaptogens and essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin C, copper, magnesium and iron. Maca root is typically dried and consumed in powder form (like in this recipe) and has been described to have an earthy and nutty flavor similar to butterscotch.
There are all kinds of really simple maca powder recipes (like these pancakes) that make it easy to incorporate into your daily diet. Many people add it to their smoothies, oatmeal and other sweet treats. So, if you're looking for a healthy, new pancake recipe, give these maca, coconut flour pancakes a whirl, you won't be sorry you tried them!
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp tapioca flour
- 1 tbsp maca powder (I use Indigo Herbs' Organic Maca Powder)
- 1 tsp coconut sugar
- 1/2 tsp baking powder (gluten-free)
- 1/4 tsp fine salt
- 2 large, organic eggs
- 3 tbsp almond milk (or choice of milk)
- 1 handful of tart organic raspberries
- 1 dallop of organic Greek yogurt or coconut yogurt
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the coconut flour, tapioca flour, maca, cinnamon, coconut sugar, baking powder and salt. Give it all a stir and ensure there are no lumps.
- Crack in the eggs and add in the almond milk. Whisk together to form a smooth, thick batter. It should be a thickness similar to a fruit puree. If it's really dry and thick, add another tablespoon of almond milk. (Similarly, if it's too dry, you can add a tiny bit more coconut flour; it's very absorbent so start with a half teaspoon).
- Heat a non-stick pan on the stove over a medium heat. Add in half a teaspoon of coconut oil. Spoon in two tablespoons of batter to form a single pancake, smoothing it down to form a small pancake about 10 cm (4 inches) in diameter.
- Cook the pancake on the first side for 2-3 minutes, until just a few bubbles start erupting through and the very edges appear cooked. Then, gently flip and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes. Repeat with the remaining batter until finished. You should end up with 4 pancakes at this size.
- Add raspberries and yogurt toppings (or other toppings of your choice.)
Recipe Notes:
*If you can't get your hands on some maca powder, you can swap this for buckwheat flour (or a plain gluten free flour mix), ground almonds or your favorite protein powder (as long as it's neutral or a mild flavor).
*To make these pancakes nut-free, swap the almond milk to dairy milk, coconut milk or rice milk.

- Create a new campaign
You will find the instant win campaign in "Quizzes, competitions, predictions, jackpots & instant wins".
- Add your prize
In the tab "Welcome", click on "Add a prize" at the bottom of the page.
- Allocate your prizes
In the tab "Settings", click on the drop-down menu "Prize allocation".
Start by removing the default planning if necessary. Thus, you will have 4 options to planify automatically your allocations:
- Random: your allocations will be planified completely randomly
- Random divided: your allocations will be planified randomly and equally distributed in the time
- Linear ascending distribution: your allocations will be planified in the ascending order and equally distributed in the time
- Linear descending distribution: your allocations will be planified in the descending order and equally distributed in the time
You can manually modify the date and time of each prize by clicking on the corresponding thumbnail
The first person playing at the specified date and time will win the corresponding prize (if nobody plays at that specified date and time, the prize will be won by the first person playing after the scheduled date and time).
That's it, your instant win is ready!
If you encounter such messages indicated in red, don't worry:
Since the instant wins are mechanics automated by a blocked calendar (definitive) as soon as the campaign has started, if the algorithm of the platform has any doubt about the possible modifications made for the number of allocations and/or their name indicated in the home page, this red message will appear.
In order to make it disappear, and thus reinitialize the planning of the allocations, here is what to do:
1) Put the campaign offline
2) Delete the statistics of the campaign
3) Erase the planning of the allocations in the tab "settings"
4) Regenerate a new planning
5) Save the new planning
6) Redo your tests (in order to see the success/failure screen)
Do not forget to re applicate the steps 1 to 5 after your tests :-)
NB: With instant win, mechanics quite frozen by need of securing (because of the automated mechanic of the allocation), it is very important not to touch to the prizes neither to the dates once your planning is saved. It is therefore important not to modify this in the process, as soon as the campaign is online.

Vision 2020
Vision 2020
– choose the right specs
By 1 January 2020, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) will impose the 0.5 % sulphur emission cap on the maritime sector globally.
Even though most countries agree to the benefits of capping the sulphur emissions globally, these new regulations pose operational challenges to the international shipping industry. Most operators seem to postpone decisions about how to comply with this until the very last minute. Given the many uncertainties, this might seem be the best approach. However, the date is approaching rapidly, hence, preparing your operation and company for the inevitable, becomes more and more urgent.
Much has been said and more will be said, but at Malik Supply A/S and Nordic Marine Oil A/S we see the following trends at this stage:
Choosing scrubbers
Few people are investing in scrubbers. Mostly, because they have concerns about the overall return of investment as scrubbers are a costly investment based on the availability of HSFO and the long-term discount from HSFO to distillates.
Needless to say, the availability of HSFO is crucial to the scrubber, but also the discount to the distillate market will ultimately render the ship's operation competitive or not vis-à-vis distillate burning ships. Additionally, the policing and penalties for exceeding the sulphur cap will be of value to vessels with scrubbers as this should safeguard the initial scrubber investment.
We expect the following trends supporting scrubber technology veins implemented:
The expected lack of demand in HSFO after 2020 will support the price gap from HSFO to distillates which again supports the return on investments in scrubbers.
- The scrubber solution offers a good method for disposing of sulphur which is an inherent part of any crude oil and makes up a global problem.
- Fines have been issued. Thirteen countries have officially declared fine levels ranging up to 6m euros.
- Investors and banks will eventually find comfort in scrubbers as a viable solution and thus be more inclined to support this investment.
Scrubber outlook
We believe that scrubbers will provide a sulphur treatment solution and thus offer commercial vessels SECA compliance. It is the solution that we believe will be used more widely after 1 January 2020 when the HSFO output and availability stabilizes.
Choosing distillates
This solution seems to be the method chosen by most operators at this stage. However, due to the abovementioned uncertainty, it seems to be more of a "fall-back" position than a long-term strategical decision. This appears to be the "no-risk" approach. Through a bunker adjustment approach, the cost is expected to be passed onto the end user.
However, switching to distillates is not as easy as it may sound. Firstly, owners need to check if the vessel's main engine can burn low-viscosity products and is correctly lubricated to burn these products. Secondly, charter parties might stipulate a viscosity spread or raise other issues that do not include distillates specifications. Challenges will be similar to the switch to 1% HSFO in 2010.
Also, other shipping-related, long-term contracts should be carefully evaluated in the light of the 2020 challenges as costs will spill over. Do contracts leave room to renegotiations that will curb the changes? Will the contract hold, once the pressure becomes real?
Distillate outlook
Needless to say, distillate pricing may rise due to the influx in demand. However, we believe that shipping will find a way to overcome this challenge. Most oil majors communicate that they will provide a solution for the industry in due time. We already have a multitude of products that fulfill the sulphur cap. More will come as demand stabilizes. Refineries are already changing production plans, and as demand becomes firmer, these plans will gain momentum.
The biggest challenge will be the cash flow obstacle. In other words, we expect pricing to be a bigger issue than actual availability. Local pockets might periodically have low availability, but history has shown us that, provided the price and demand is there, products will be available. So note should be taken on the vessel cash flow requirements. Current calculations show that the same business case will require a 40-70 % higher credit or cash facility. Historically, there is 270 USD/MT spread from 380 CST to MGO. This can be added to the cash flow demand currently tied up in bunkers.
Operators should enter into a dialogue with bunker suppliers as well as banks to plan around this.
To discuss the matter, we remain at your disposal: firstname.lastname@example.com

I've always liked to consider myself as the ultimate lazy girl! Let's face it the older you get the happier you are just being home, catching up on your favourite shows and spending time with people closest to you. I thought it would be fun to share with you guys A Typical Lazy Girl Weekend Routine I spent most of my weekends doing or lack of things I do.
Gone are the days of clubbing and getting so drunk you can't remember what happened.
I'm reaching my 30's and fast… The things that I enjoy doing now are completely different to what I enjoyed in my teenage years. Not only am I now married, but a outgrew many things and people.
My Typical Lazy Weekend consists of doing as less as possible! If I had it my way I would lay in bed, eat bad food and not having any commitments.
Catching Up On Shows
Weekends are the only times I get to unwind! What better way to do this by catching up on all my tv series! At the moment the hubby and I are rewatching you guessed it Harry Potter once again. I have also been super into Jane The Virgin, which makes me sad because I am almost done watching it.
Pamper Evenings
Another way to completely unwind is having a pamper evening. I usually do this on Saturday, if we are not seeing any friends. A day slap on a face mask, wash and blow dry my hair and do my nails!
My number one goals for the year is to get back into reading. It's been years since I picked up a book and just read. My husband bought us the Harry Potter book set with all six books. Yes! We are that obsessed!! I have been reading that. There's just something about cuddling in bed or laying on the couch and just reading a good book you can completely just lost in.
Weekly Grocer Shopping
Something we can't avoid! Purchasing all the meals for the week ahead. We typically don't do any shopping during the week and plan our plans for the week ahead, that way we get everything we need and not have any waste.
So that's basically what most of my weekends consist of. Some weekends we will have friends over, for most of the time we are home in our happy space!
What does your lazy girl weekend mainly consist of?0

OTTAWA, Ont. – Trucking HR Canada released today the proposed National Occupational Standard that will more clearly define a commercial vehicle operator's (truck driver's) job. The company is inviting all members of the country's trucking industry to review the proposal and submit comments.
"The final document will offer the detailed information that can help guide training programs, ensure that graduating trainees are more employable, and better meet the trucking industry's needs," says Angela Splinter, CEO of Trucking HR Canada. "This project also represents an important step toward mandatory entry-level driver training, and efforts to recognize truck driving as a skilled occupation."
The draft have been under development over the last year through the Trucking HR Canada's Driving the Future project (supported by the Canadian Trucking Alliance and every provincial trucking association), and were overseen by a National Working Group of fleet personnel from across Canada.
According to the release Trucking HR Canada says that the drivers who meet the proposed standard will:

1. Missed the Memo; Forgot to Leave Africa
A new fossil found in Kenya's Rift Valley is shaking up the latest hypotheses about alleged ancient apes and their postulated connection to modern humans, chimpanzees, and gorillas.
2. We Are All Martians
Men (and women) are from Mars—though the popular tongue-in-cheek hypothesis lacks proof, it received an injection of plausibility in September from a baseball-sized rock that fell from the sky.
3. New York Times: "Battlefield Report From the Evolution War"
Television producer Paula Aspell—behind Public Television's popular Nova program—originally had no desire to use her show to deal with the "nasty" controversy of discussing intelligent design in public schools.
That was before Aspell read news accounts of the landmark Kitzmiller v. Dover Area School District trial of Pennsylvania and recalled that many Americans reject the evolutionary explanation of human origins. "As someone concerned about science literacy, that concerns me—a lot," she said, reports the New York Times.
Finding "plenty of drama" in various aspects of the trial, Aspell set out to film a two-hour Nova segment that "takes viewers through the trial, illuminating the theory of evolution, the flaws of intelligent design, the politics of those who back it, and the course the case ran in Dover."
This week, AiG's Mark Looy and Liberty University's David DeWitt took a closer look at the resulting documentary, Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial, uncovering the substantial bias in the program. To read their take, visit "Is It Over After Dover?" and "Biased Judgment: Comments on NOVA TV's Judgment Day and its analysis of the Dover ID Trial."

6. BBC News: "Bat techniques could find tumours"
The latest cancer-fighting technology, under development in Scotland, has been inspired by a source you might not expect: bat sonar.
A team at the University of Strathclyde is "developing a diagnostic device that employs the same technique used by some animals to recogni[z]e objects."
Essentially, the device is an ultrasound that functions similarly to bats' sophisticated sonar system, custom-creating different "acoustic codes" for "a wide variety of targets, including cancer cells."
If successful, the technology could even be adapted for military uses, such as minesweeping.
News to Note frequently includes stories of animal (and sometimes plant) abilities that fuel scientists' and engineers' imaginations, leading to technological breakthroughs. For the evolutionist, these abilities all have the same origin: random mutations shaped through the mechanism of natural selection. For creationists, these abilities all have the same origin: information "pre-loaded" into an organism when it was designed by the master Designer.

Goodwick – Transportation – Public Transport – Ferry Terminals
For a crossing to Ireland from our part of the country, there's two options. We could take the overnight ferry from Swansea to Cork, or the less expensive, shorter trip from Fishguard to Rosslare. Really, it's swings and roundabouts, for any savings we'd have made on the shorter route would be eaten by the extra miles we'd have to drive.
But, we chose the Fishguard route anyway, for that way, we'd see more of the country.
We arrived in Fishguard in plenty of time for the ferry; in fact, we only had to wait 20 minutes to check in. And, when we had checked in, there was a considerable wait before we could load.
But, here was a cafe, with free wifi, where I had a very nice beef pasty for lunch. Normally, I'd have said there was too much pastry in it, but it was so moist and slightly sweet, it wasn't a problem,
The crossing itself was rather lively. The ship had to deal with high winds and rough seas, but we didn't feel too much discomfort, although moving around the ship was a bit of a problem. Not that there's much to see, anyway. We found comfortable seats, in which to play with the free wifi and the MP3 player, read and go to sleep
If I had one teeny complaint, it was that the music over the loudspeaker was a little too loud.

The Mercury inspires visions of a classic cabinet design from a time long ago, but within the chassis of the Mercury you'll discover an inspiring and truly innovative circuit (along with utterly remarkable tone). While it is true that your friends, band mates and family members will admire the Mercury for its good looks and 'polite' power rating, Mercury owners seem to cherish our newest amp for many other practical reasons. Carr's exclusive power attenuating circuit enables the Mercury to be played at 8, 2, 1/2 and only 1/10 watts, with no appreciable change in tone, yet the Mercury easily yields enough clean headroom for club work. Add our renowned reverb circuit, a 3-position boost switch for subtle-to-intense output tube distortion, plus the incomparably thick and rich tone of a single EL-34 power tube, and the Mercury will earn its rightful place among your most treasured instruments.
Quote from Joe Perry: "Fortunately, I get to try a lot of different amps. I love an amp that lets my guitars sound like guitars, a Les Paul should sound like a Les Paul, a Dano like a Dano, etc., with as little outside coloration as possible. It should be as transparent as possible while giving you that feeling that your guitar is coming alive. I have a bunch of amps to choose from and what can I say but my Carr is on the A-list in front of the mics in my studio and not in the back collecting dust and has been since it came out of the box."

This week at the Olympic Museum…(10-16.07.2006)
The eyes have it: from spectator to supporter exhibition
Until 16 July 2006, restaurant gallery
When you can see sport in the eyes of the spectators, everyone is involved. From the amused look to the scowl, from the embrace to the hand raised to strike, the expressions and attitudes of those living through the game are touching, comic and sometimes tragic: infinitely human, in other words. Exhibition created by the Information Management Department. IOC photographic archives collection.
Angel or Demon? The choice of Fair Play exhibition
Until 5 November 2006
Whether in sport or in our daily lives, human beings choose, suffer or impose their behaviour. In competition as in play, the balance between self control and impulsiveness, respecting or deviating from a line of conduct, is a very delicate one. This exhibition on fair play asks the visitor to consider his own angels and demons and confronts him with the fragile balance of the human relations. These games of mirrors, situations, confrontation, reflection and feelings illustrate the fact that fair play is not incompatible with performance, even at the very top, and that its absence destroys the very concepts of play and sharing. A conclusion which is certainly valid in the field of sport but also in our daily lives.
Kids' programme: It's not always easy to play fair
Visit - Role plays (with coordinator)
Tour of the exhibition followed by a workshop in which the participants use role plays to work on their behaviour in certain situations arising in sport and everyday life. Education kit. Information on 021 621 65 11.
Triathlon Passion exhibition
Until 15 October 2006
The 13th Lausanne Triathlon will be taking place on 26 and 27 August, followed by the Triathlon World Championships on 2 and 3 September. This is a chance for the Olympic Museum to devote an exhibition to this young event which became an Olympic sport at the 2000 Games in Sydney.
Opening hours: Every day from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I've really enjoyed this book case. I loved both books and I wouldn't have found Burying the Honeysuckle Girls without this box. I hadn't read Rebecca (hanging head in shame) so I was really happy to see that included. The treats and trinkets were so much fun! I love the themes for each month too. I'm looking forward to my next box!
Useron 10/23/2017
Beautiful Madness Bookcase box is in my opinion, the best book sub out there. She introduces us to wonderful books, extras and food/drink items. Her themes are great too! I highly recommend BMB.

After purchasing two of the past boxes, I have to say this is the best book subscription box I have received yet. The boxes are well curated with great books that I never would have heard of. The additional non book items all fit the theme well and add to the experience.
Useron 10/15/2017
This box is carefully curated. Bookish items are items that you can use or gift easily. Customer service Is top-notch. I received an item that was broken, and it was quickly replaced. If you want to discover new authors and try different genres, this subscription is for you. For those people who aren't sure, you could purchase a last box. You won't regret it. Happy reading.

This is a really nice subscription box, that includes some awesomely unique items that match the book and month's theme. I will admit that I enjoyed the earlier boxes more, as I found those books more interesting. There are fun things in these boxes that I always wanted to buy, but never really could justify doing so :) In fact, some of my most favorite bookish items have come from Beautiful Madness Book Case! I have a cute little trinket plate (or at least, that is what I use it for, lol) with a page as the background, and a deer in a suit, maybe regency wear. It's quirky, unique, cute, and it's not something that I could pick up at a regular store. It is one of my favorite items from a box - period! While I love the extra items, and could go and on forever about the goodies, I do admit that I am not a huge fan of the books. That, however, is not the fault of Beautiful Madness. I love reading romance and the classics. While I did enjoy some of the books, like Edgar Allen Poe and the one that came with my deer :) If you enjoy non fiction books, and different, interesting, reads, then this is the box for you!
Jenniferon 10/11/2017
My husband originally got this for me as a Mother's Day gift and I have loved it. Not every box is a home run but I've read so many books that I would never have picked up other wise! And the treats in the box are nice, too ;).
Saraon 10/11/2017
This is my favorite book box! I bought the messenger bag leftover from BookCom 2016 still for sale on their site with the book Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, which also included Dandelion Sock It to Me socks-AWESOME (my daughter and I are getting several pairs for Christmas. I am also happy that BeMad has on a couple occasions included SockItToMe socks in their boxes). A bar of orange hibiscus vegan soap by Siren Soap shop-not a sample but a full bar and it smells incredible. An iron on patch, which will go on my jean jacket shortly and several packets of Stash tea in a pretty little cinch bag. Moon pies were suppose to be included, but because of the hot weather they included several Nonnie's dark chocolate almond biscotti. I have a new fave biscotti now! I am so happy with my order. *BEAMS* I have read the reviews on SA and I had to get a subscription. The theme for October is Dark and Stormy. Miss Julia Jones does an excellent job of curating these boxes. Thank you Miss Jones.

JUANA: Yes Monday, the 16th. It was my Lucy's birthday and she turned 19. Happy Birthday, Lucy! She is in the Army in Kansas.
We've been very, very worried about Mr. Charlie. We will talk about him again at the end of this report. I didn't take a lot of pictures of him during the day. Lacie had the day off from Morton Clinic on Monday and sometimes she comes and works with us, when she can and if we need her. Most of the time, we need her help. There are so many things that she can do. She can cut the dogs' toenails and she helped me examine the dogs for ringworm. We haven't talked about the ringworm. Thankfully, with all of the rain and all of the humidity that we've had this year, it hasn't taken a stronghold here. I don't know if it's because we are more careful or if our dogs have built up immunity to it. Knock on wood; we haven't had a big breakout of ringworm! I am going to show you pictures of the dogs that we had questions about. Lacie and I went out there and checked them and I took pictures. We decided which dogs had ringworm according to what we saw.

COMEDY ROUTINES for NOVICES ISBN 978-0-6482953-2-7 NEW APRIL 2018
I have decided to put my original comedy routines on Amazon Kindle in the hope that stand-up comedians and theatrical groups can make them work. They were all written in 2017 after I met a funny author who constantly made any comment in a funny voice.
Of course a lot of these routines are heavily dependent on the visuals and how the lines are delivered. These comedy routines are designed for the novice to present at interviews, gigs and hopefully some TV or stage work – leading to more professional work.
ALL Books NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON as PRINTED BOOK or as a KINDLE e-Book

Feeling harassed in any setting can be disconcerting. When sexual harassment takes place at work, it can be even more difficult to face as individuals have to return to their jobs day after day. Fortunately, individuals in this type of position can take steps to report the misconduct and harassing behaviors they have faced.
Do you work in a hostile work environment?
As a California worker, you undoubtedly have days when you wish you did not have to go to work. Possibly that is because your workplace is not always the pleasantest place to be. You may have to deal with people who incessantly tell off-color jokes, make negative comments about you or other co-workers, make discriminatory and/or offensive comments to you, or otherwise make your life miserable. This type of workplace harassment can rise to the level of a hostile work environment.
Wage and hour claims may help address illegal actions
Fair wages and proper compensation is what many people work for. Often, they must work long, hard hours in order to provide for their families and meet other needs, so whenever something seems off with their pay, it can be concerning. Unfortunately, some employers do not properly pay their workers, and it is often up to the employees to pursue their rightful compensation through wage and hour claims.
Workplace harassment may involve cultural differences, disability
Most Californians want to do their jobs to the best of their abilities. Though some days may seem more difficult than others, they can often power through and reach the end goal. However, when parties must contend with workplace harassment, their jobs may become immensely more difficult, and these actions may cause their work and personal lives to suffer.
Failing to comply with ADA may equal workplace discrimination
It is common for people to assume that many individuals with disabilities were born with them. However, a multitude of people, including many in California, develop disabilities later in life due to accidents, injuries or illnesses. As a result, someone could hold a job for a number of years before developing a disability that may need accommodation. If an employer fails to adhere to laws requiring these accommodations, a person could have reason to file a workplace discrimination claim.
Body evaluations at restaurant lead to sexual harassment claims
It is not unusual for California residents to think an opportunity is going to work out a certain way only for it to be drastically different. Many individuals may feel excited to start a new job, but they may soon find themselves facing sexual harassment at work that quickly drains that excitement. Unfortunately, some people may not even realize the actions that employers take could be considered harassment.
New California Test For Employee vs. Independent Contractor
The California Supreme Court adopted a new legal standard that will make it more difficult for businesses to misclassify workers as independent contractors. This will directly affect the trucking and transportation industry as well as the gig economy (e.g., Uber, Grubhub, Bellhops, Caviar, Dolly, DoorDash).
