Fine is a Classic Memory Game used to reinforce concepts learned in a Teaching Game
- Learn to prounce this Italian word. Fine (pronounced fee'-nay) is Italian musical term that means the end. Since it looks just like the English word "fine" (pronounced fīn and meaning "of very high quality"), students may be confused if they see the word before hearing it, saying it and learning it's meaning.
- What's the Game?: Students put cards, magic notes on staff slates, puzzle pieces and other materials in order, calling out "fine"! when they finish. The teacher always explains that it's not a race, and we respect that each of us naturally do tasks at different speeds. Then everyone happily hurries as fast as they can. What fun to learn and play together!
- Other Uses: Many students like to say "fine" whenever they finish a small task
Freddie, Michiko's dog for 15 years, appears on cards to know if the card is upside down or not.
He also represents the letter "F" in the Music Mind Games alphabet kids.
High Jello
High Five is raising your hand, palm facing your partner and both of you saying "High Five!". High Jel-lo is you and your partner holding up two fingers in a jel-lo hand sign (2 eighth notes) and touching your finger tips together and saying, "High Jel-lo!".
It's a great way to finish a game or emphasize a successful moment.
Students also love "High Blue!" (quarter note - one finger) or "High Pineapple!" (triplet - three fingers) or "High Huckleberry!" (four sixteenth notes - four fingers) or "High Macademia!" (quintuplet - five fingers).
The teacher or parent can instigate any one of these by saying, "High Pineapple!" and raising three fingers toward the student who will do the same and in a second, both touch their three fingers.
Music Mind Games Handshake
While changing fingers with a steady beat say, "Blue, Jel-lo, Pineapple, Huckleberry, Macademia". On the next beat make the sign for quarter rest (cross your two jel-lo fingers) as you whisper "rest" and move your hand away in a cool motion.
It is really fun when a whole class of students face a partner and do the handshake in unison.

Play or Pass
The techniques from this Classic Game can be used within other games, too. When taking turns around a circle during a game, if a student prefers to skip his turn, he says, "Pass", as there is no pressure to play. Sometimes a student doesn't know the answer, didn't hear the question, is confused and doesn't understand, prefers not to speak for a moment, or any number of reasons. This is okay since observing is a powerful learning opportunity for all of us at any age. Also important, the game doesn't get stalled.
"Pass" can also mean, "I agree that the materials are correct". A Play or Pass game is played without talking. Students take turns around the circle fixing one thing in the game materials. The game finishes when all the students say "pass" around the circle, which means they all agree that everything is correct. Sometimes, everyone is saying pass, then one person stops to fix something. Then the "pass" around the circle begins again. This supports the student who may have a different opinion from the others and actually be correct. Occasionally, a student is being too precise, stops the "pass" several times and the teacher needs to keep things moving and say, "Enough already!" Everyone laughs good naturedly and the game finishes.
Pudding Shuffle
Place all the cards on the rug and invite everyone to join in gently mixing them up. One person (usually the teacher) restacks the cards. The visual of seeing chaos come into an order is a good concept for children. In the United Kingdom pudding is the word for dessert.

Years ago, the manager of a large conglomerate asked me to help a struggling new salesperson. Everyone called him Buzzcut Bruce. Bruce was new to sales. As it turns out, he had excelled as a private investigator in Louisiana, but after moving to Colorado he thought he'd take a whack at a career in sales.
Whenever I coach a new salesperson I focus on the discovery questions they ask their clients. Bruce asked the right questions, all right, but his questioning quickly deteriorated into interrogations. Not a good idea. Here's an example:
"So, Melinda, you just mentioned you've been using Thimble Fish as your technology platform."
"Yes," the prospect would reply. "When we founded the company, that's all we really needed."
"And when did you open your doors for business?" he'd ask.
"Late August 2012."
Painful pause …
"Hmm … but you said earlier that you've used Thimble Fish for nine consecutive years. Assuming you licensed it 2012, that would mean you've used it for five years. Which is it, ma'am?"
I couldn't tell if he was trying to get a signature on a contract or extract a confession.
Now, this is an extreme example of what not to do. Not all novice salespeople are going to grill their prospects as hard as a former private eye. But my point is this:
Unless salespeople are truly curious, the discovery process may feel like an interrogation to customers.
You may understand the power of thoughtful discovery questions. You may have memorized what questions to ask and even know precisely when to ask them — only to completely annoy your customers. Why? Let me be blunt. Many salespeople, in their misguided attempts to uncover valuable information, display a lack of genuine curiosity.
It's never enough to ask questions; you actually have to listen for and care about the answers!
You may ask the perfect question … and then, BAM, as soon as the customer gives you an opening, you start spewing out all kinds of product information. You just can't help yourself. I call this the "shotgun approach." We fire off feature after feature, hoping that one of them will hit its target.
Research suggests if you give someone too many options, eventually that person will just stop paying attention. Our brains are configured to make a certain number of decisions per day and once we reach that limit — our saturation point — we can't make any more, regardless of how important they are. Former President Obama has been quoted as saying that he makes his most important decisions in the morning while he's still fresh. Salespeople must keep their presentations simple and on point to keep customers engaged.
My recommendation?
Adopt the Five Attributes of Truly Curious Salespeople:
- Ask questions that help you better understand your customers — not simply those that allow you to elbow in your point of view.
- Do your homework before you meet a prospect. Who is this person? How long has he or she been with the company (what you don't want to do is pre-judge).
- Dig deep to find out what really matters to your customers at the heart level.
- Get to know your customers' inner worlds and discover how it affects their outer worlds.
- Instead of reacting negatively, seek to understand why a prospect might be putting off a decision.
Asking thoughtful questions isn't simply a matter of methodology; it's a matter of mentality.
It's about adopting a mentality of investigating over dictating, learning over teaching and understanding over closing.
Adopting a curious mind-set may not help you convict a suspect, but it will certainly help you sell a prospect.

Firstly lets cope with the most important miconception- because it stands now, Robotic surgical procedure is definitely 'Robot Assisted Surgery'. Know-how has played a huge role in human tradition.. It has become a very integral part of our lives; many people couldn't do with out it. The fashionable conveniences and the ability and freedom that technology provides us has changed the way in which we predict, act, and socialize.
Plus many virtual actuality corporations or researchers use and adapt other forms of know-how from other sources which implies that they are reliant upon these. Wired presents information about technology in highly visual and vividly colorful format, this journal is stuffed with eye sweet. The literature showed me find out how to incorporate expertise within the classroom while conserving the a number of intelligences in mind when designing lesson plans. The primary challenge will be through a taking significantly of the past of a legislation's engagement with expertise. And whereas technology that wins favor with the pornography trade often implies that platform might be successful, it will soon develop into far simpler for folks to change into lost in fantasy, and tougher to disconnect.
In a sense, there is no such thing as a longer any up or down at all, as every node in the community and obtain the message of refuse it, change it or go away it alone, and delete it or go it on. That is why I say that when it come to expertise and the media and human reality – Every part Is All the things.
It is fascinating to invest about the new laptop know-how that the following technology of ten-yr-olds will take for granted! Using computer systems, fashionable white boards and different sources has made schooling extra attention-grabbing. An instance of technology is the Internet which has made up-to-date information out there to anyone with access in a matter of moments and gives actual time information about events world wide. However, we're already beginning to see 3DTVs that do not require 3D glasses and as know-how advances and extra shoppers start switching, the prices will come down finally. I assume what I am making an attempt to speak (which I will positively expand upon sooner or later) is that know-how is neither good nor dangerous, but there are all the time consequences to its use.
Our location on the Hudson River speaks to our maritime custom and experience, and our proximity to New York City provides a gateway to career and entrepreneurial alternatives in commerce, finance, media, art, vogue, research, know-how, training and entertainment.

Electronic cigarettes should be regulated globally, and the devices should not be used in indoor public places or sold to minors, the World Health Organization said Tuesday.
Its report warns that it might take decades before there is conclusive evidence of whether e-cigarettes are linked to diseases such as cancer or other health risks.
Electronic nicotine delivery systems, of which e-cigarettes are the most prominent example, "represent an evolving frontier, filled with promise and threat for tobacco control," the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control said in the report, to be presented at a conference in October.
Advertising for e-cigarettes shouldn't be allowed to make health claims – including claims that the devices help people quit traditional smoking – unless such claims are borne out by clinical trials, the report recommends. (A study based on data from Britain does support the idea, but more would be needed.)
The report also says that marketing for e-cigarettes shouldn't target children or people who don't already use nicotine. To that end, it says that fruit, candy-like and alcoholic-drink flavors for the devices should be banned unless studies prove they're not attractive to minors.
A push away from making e-cigarettes palatable for non-smokers speaks to the objections of Dr. Tom Frieden, head of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who worries that e-cigarettes are leading a new generation into addiction.
Among other suggestions, the report says the products should deliver a standardized amount of pharmaceutical-grade nicotine and carry health warnings.
The report stresses that more evidence is needed before the makers of e-cigarettes can legitimately claim the devices help people stop smoking.
E-cigarettes "may have a role to play in supporting attempts to quit" smoking, but currently approved treatments should be used first, the report says. Switching entirely from smoking to e-cigarettes "is likely to be less toxic for the smoker," it says, although it's unknown how much their risk is reduced.
The group also cautions that the claim that the aerosol produced by the devices is merely "water vapor" is not correct. E-cigarettes, the report says, should not be used indoors in public places unless the vapor is proved to not be harmful to bystanders.
Nicotine overdose is a concern, it says: Although information is scarce, reports from the U.S. and Britain "indicate that the number of reported incidents involving nicotine poisoning has risen substantially as the use of [e-cigarettes and similar devices] has increased."
On Monday, the American Heart Assn. recommended that federal laws prohibit the sale of e-cigarettes to minors and that the devices be regulated along with traditional combustible cigarettes.
"E-cigarette use and acceptance of e-cigarettes has the potential to renormalize smoking behavior," it wrote in a policy statement, adding, "Unregulated e-cigarette use also has the potential to erode gains in smoking cessation and smoke-free laws."
The president of the American Vaping Assn., an industry group, issued a response Tuesday. Gregory Conley said in a statement that the industry had been "pursuing extensive studies" of e-cigarettes' "uses, pitfalls and benefits" and agrees that more research is necessary.
However, he touted e-cigarettes as a way to help people quit smoking. "We don't believe that e-cigarettes should be regulated as tobacco products," he said. "They are not tobacco products; they are anti-tobacco products."
The American Heart Assn. said Monday that to help traditional smokers quit, other methods should be used first, with e-cigarettes as a last resort.

WEEE for manufacturers, rebranders and importers
If you manufacture, rebrand or import electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), you are a producer of EEE and need to comply with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Regulations.
These regulations aim to increase treatment and recovery of WEEE, and reduce the amount of WEEE that goes to landfill. They place a number of duties on producers including joining an approved producer compliance scheme, providing information to the scheme, labelling products with a crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and producer identification mark, making information available to consumers and waste treatment and reprocessing facilities, and providing your producer registration number to customers and suppliers.
This guide explains when the WEEE Regulations apply to your products, when a product is exempt and how you must meet your WEEE responsibilities.

How it works
Capturing Fingerprints: How it Works
Step One
Our Funeral Home Partners capture your Loved One's prints, which are then digitally stored in a secure database
Step Two
From the fingerprints that were captured, our Professional Artists select and enhance the best one. The lines and wrinkles that make each of us unique are left intact.
Step Three
Your Loved One's print is engraved, polished and handled with care to deliver a truly unique and custom Keepsake honoring the life of your Loved One.
Just like each of us, our fingerprints encounter different stages of life. While the core pattern of ridges remains constant, the clarity, definition, and individuality change over time, reflecting our own life's journey. The images below illustrate some of the characteristics our fingerprints can have as we progress through the years.
Elderly fingerprints tend to grow fainter in terms of their distinct ridges and generally present more "life lines", such as scars or wrinkles, from decades of use.
Fingerprints from adults offer distinct fingerprint characteristics, sometimes including surface "life lines" from years of use.
Young Adult
Fingerprints of young adults have had the opportunity to grow and develop and tend to offer clear and distinct ridges.
Fingerprints in infants up through toddler years are very compact and not yet fully developed, often resulting in less distinct ridges. During these developing years, a full hand or foot print is often captured in lieu of a single fingerprint.
Your Loved One's fingerprint image may have more or less defining characteristics depending on factors such as their life experiences and the fingerprint collection process. Please contact us with any questions about what you can expect from your Loved One's fingerprint.

Here to Give Ourselves Away
It had been a very long time since I'd been alone in a cemetery.
I was walking down a hill into the village of Gavarnie in the middle of the Pyrenees, looking for a good place to sit and write…
when I glanced over a wall into the church graveyard.
I was held where I stood by three faces staring at me.
Actually before I even saw the faces, I saw the uniforms: three young soldiers killed in World War I. I had forgotten how much I love graveyards for all the stories they have to tell, but these faces reminded me. So I went inside.
Graveyard walking is to search for clues; it is to remember that these were once real people and therefore be constantly searching for the power somehow to breathe life into them and let them stand once more, say a few words, tell us a bit about themselves and what they saw, what they knew, what they felt.
Most graves give very little information – but even just the name, age and year of death is its own little story. The first thing I learned in the graveyard of Gavarnie is that if you survived youth in this village, you tended to have a very long life. The majority of the graves were for those who were very old – people in their 80's, 90's and even one woman who had reached 100; these were hardy people. I could imagine most of them lived a quiet mountain life, perhaps rarely or never leaving the region.
I also saw a lot of young men. There were many of course that died in war, but later there were also those that had challenged the mountains to take them, and mountains had won. It seems that even here, the audacity of youth can be dangerous.
And then there was Madeleine. She died in 1955 at the age of 17. There are indications to suggest she may have been a nun in training at Lourdes, or perhaps went to Lourdes for healing. They call her sister in a way that suggests "sister of the cloth" not the flesh. Perhaps she went there and devoted herself to god, believing she would either be cured or else die in grace.
While most of the graves in Gavarnie are granite – smooth, polished and geometric, there are also some graves marked by just mound of earth. These have their own special impact because they gives the sense of a body under there, taking up space; it reminds me of how we look when we bury each other in sand as a game at the beach. Just a body in earth. It makes the once-upon-a-time flesh seem closer.
There is something disconcerting yet poignant about a grave without a name – knowing that something that was once someone is there, but knowing no moret. Yet knowing just that much is something. In that earth lie bones, that once contained life, consciousness. And now those bones are an empty, derelict house, hinting at the life that was once inside. For me a ghost is just that: the consciousness that has gone, and the trail it has left behind. Even without a name there are still traces of what once was. In my mind, a ghost can live in the idea of a person that has vanished.
My grandfather died a long time before I was born. It is always so weird to me that someone who played such an fundamental role in my own father's life, is someone who I actually cannot imagine at all. I have seen pictures and heard stories about him but I know that no matter how much more I learn I will never be able to actually imagine anything close to what the real man was like. For me he remains two-dimensional, limited to the space within a faded photograph, and the confines of conflicting anecdotes.
I know I'll never be able to reconstruct him, but there's something in me that is always wishing I had more to work with. I keep thinking that if I just had a bit more information – if I could hear his voice, or see a video with him in it, so I could know how he moved his face, how he laughed, a bit of how he expressed himself, I could come closer somehow.
I knew very little about him when I was growing up (besides how much he loved the outdoors, camping, hiking, etc.) so I found my own way to give him a voice. When I read Steinbeck as a teenager, for some reason I decided that his was a good voice to give my grandfather. In putting a writer in that surrogate role I think I was expressing the desire, more than anything, to know how my grandfather thought about things, to be able to hear his interior monologue. Lacking access to that, I found the voice that most closely matched the image I had constructed. When I told my father this he laughed. I think he laughed because I am not sure he ever really knew how his father felt about things either…
The gravestones that move me the most are ones that give me enough information that I can bring an idea of a human to life. A young nun dying of a wasting disease in Lourdes, young soldiers from a mountain village who know nothing of the world, who finally leave, only to see the outside world in a time of war, and never return. The young athletic 20-year old, dead from a fall, dead perhaps for trying to pack too much living in.
The combination of the information on and around the grave, and now sometimes even the very face itself of the person creates at least a ghost of a form. I know it does not come close to the people themselves – but in a way does it matter? Even famous historical figures about whom we have endless information still elude us when we try to reconstruct them. No matter how much information you have there is still something missing – perhaps the sound of the voice or the way they crinkle their eyes when they smile. And yet it's still alway worthwhile to try to imagine…
I was thinking how archaeologists must feel something like this all the time – the way they reconstruct bones and try to imagine civilizations through the contours of broken pottery, and yet know they can never fully recreate what was. Or paleontologists imagining dinosaurs and other ancient animals – yet always wondering if perhaps they were an entirely different color.
There's the beauty of the reconstruction – and the frustration at your distance from what actually WAS…and how you'll never know far that distance actually was and what part of the picture you were missing entirely.
The massive medieval citadel of Carcassonne in the Languedoc region is one of the most visited places in France; a UNESCO heritage site, it supposedly furnishes the tourist with the vision of a proper medieval city.
The thing that most tourists don't know is that in the in 1850's the French Government decided to restore the Cité de Carcassonne, hiring architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc, to oversee the renovation. Viollet-Le-Duc decided to remake it to match his idea of what this medieval fortress should look like rather than attempting to restore it according to what had already been there. Carcassonne for him was not supposed to just be what it had been in the past – but stand for something about France of the present, a kind of conversation about France over the ages.
"Viollet-le-Duc's aim in restoring the Cité was to reintroduce meaning into a set of ruins — meaning, of course, for the culture of nineteenth-century France. For us, therefore, Carcassonne stands as a meaningful architectural monument of the nineteenth century, speaking for its nationalist passion for history. The restored Cité fundamentally expresses the architectural interests and thought of an architect in the 1850s. As architectural intervention is never neutral, as it is always an exercise in interpretation, it deserves as much attention as the original object. From the perspective of our day. Viollet-le-Duc's restoration is as expressive of the architect and his time as were the medieval remains of their era." – Francesc Xavier Costa Guix
So many elements of the restoration of Carcassonne say way more about the mindset and aesthetic and ideology of the 1850's, than of the medieval era. For example – the famous towers that circle the city are pretty much Viollet-le-Duc's interpretation of medieval – their conical tops that give Carcassonne so much of its particular flavor, were completely imagined by him, and had never existed previous to the restoration project.
People visit this impressive place and leave feeling they've seen what a medieval city looked like when in fact they are seeing what an 1850's architect decided a medieval city should look like.
But is it important that they know this? Or is it really just as good that they carry away the simpler version of the story, and walking through those streets and imagining them just like that a thousand years ago?
I have never seen faces in a cemetery before – but there were so many in Gavarnie.
Here is the Family Germain Bordes.
Baby Philippe Bordes was buried here. He was exactly 1 year old – born December 17th, 1961, Died December 17th, 1962. A beautiful baby. It was disconcerting to see that face, his smile and chubby cheeks, in this place of death.
And then there was Serge Bordes. Probably Philippe's brother – born in 1959.
We see him pictured, as a handsome young man – who died 19 years after his baby brother – at the age of 21 or 22. A year before, it seems his Grandfather Justin died, aged 74. We see him in his beret and traditional mountain clothes. A man who lived a full life, next to his kin who lived such short lives.
I felt strange taking these photographs, like there was something grotesque in the stealing of these faces, much more problematic than photographing a headstone. It felt so much more intrusive.
What right did I have to read these names and dates and look at these faces and create something out of them that was so far from the truth known by those that truly loved them? What right did I have to imagine them, stereotype them, make assumptions, take pictures, and carry pieces of them away for my own purpose?
But their loved ones put their faces there so that people would see them and remember them. I don't think they would be there otherwise. I think maybe part of the purpose is to be able, years later, to have someone walk by these graves and be able to look at these faces and get some small sense of the human however faint and inaccurate, and take it with them. I think a graveyard represents the desire for those traces of of the dead, the ghosts of them, to continue to have a voice, albeit distorted, and thus still have some impact on the living world.
And maybe those men are now not just who they were – but now they are also the picture on a plaque in a cemetery and the imagined human ghost in the head of an American woman passing through and taking their image with her.
One day when I was in Paris I was walking along the Rue Mouffetard during market day. A man walked by me and handed me a rose and then walked on. I stood on a street corner there, holding the rose to my face, delighting in the ridiculous romance of moment.
A few moments later I spotted a tourist with a large camera trying to secretly photograph me standing there with my rose to my cheek – stealing an image of me, an idea of me. He probably thought I was French and he'd just managed to catch some minute inhale and exhale of the city. Whatever he thought, he stole some piece of me and made it into something new, whatever he believed it to be.
And I think that is beautiful. We are here to give ourselves away to each other in one form or another, maybe even after we are gone. We shed pieces of ourselves like skin cells – in the form of people's impressions that they carry away – the smallest gesture that they inflate into a new form. This form may not resemble us from our own perspective, but perhaps we are so much more than what we think we are from our own perspective. Perhaps we are all these things that people take away from us too, even the things that we'd argue are wrong. And these assumptions, misconceptions, and perceptions tie us all to one in another in the most complex and amazing web of ideas.
We don't have to be dead for people to steal our faces and fill them with new thoughts, new personality, new motivations. It happens all the time every day. We are all body and brain snatchers, writing the world around us like a fiction. We turn living, breathing humans into ideas. And in doing so, we hope to understand each other in a way that, despite not being accurate, is still somehow true.
When I write here I struggle to express feelings and get them translated somehow into thoughts. I never quite know what ideas I am actually transmitting, and how closely they resemble what I was hoping to communicate – but that isn't so important. Because once words are let go, just like images, they take on their own life. I think that's why it feels so necessary to release them.

very beautiful piece! a nice release of ideas indeed

.NET Framework was released 14 years ago to create a universal programming layer that gives developers the choice to use any programming language. The Framework was designed with a cross-platform concept in mind, but Microsoft only implemented it for its own platforms. Mono, the open source and cross-platform implementation of .NET Framework, was created by Novell (originally by Ximian), but it is not very popular. Two years ago, Microsoft decided to further open source .NET and make it officially available on different platforms. This was the start of .NET Core. The .NET Core 1.0 was released in June. Let's take a look at .NET Core 1.0 and ASP.NET Core 1.0 to see the features. What I am going to present here is solely based on my own study, research, and experiments on .NET Core 1.0 and ASP.NET Core 1.0.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with full registration with the Australian Health Practitioners Regulation Agency (AHPRA) and Member of the Australian Psychological Society (APS).
I enjoy working with children, adolescents and adults presenting with a variety of concerns. My background is in public mental health working across these age ranges, in a variety of settings including acute presentations. I also have experience working in the educational setting and in private practice.
I am particularly interested in supporting parents as they navigate their journey through parenthood. This ranges from the provision of emotional support during the perinatal period (including postnatal anxiety or depression) and fostering secure infant-child attachments to working with parents to support the emotional and behavioural development of their children.
I am also experienced in and have an interest in supporting children and their caregivers to achieve the best outcomes with regard to a range of childhood concerns including:
- anxiety (including school refusal) and shyness
- depression
- developmental trauma
- parent-child relationship or attachment concerns
- bullying
- deliberate self-harm
- periods of adjustment / transition
- grief and loss
I also like to work with adults and adolescents to achieve their unique goals and desired outcomes. My experience extends to:
- anxiety disorders (including PTSD, OCD, panic)
- depression
- personality disorders
- deliberate self-harm
- emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- grief and loss
- periods of adjustment / transition
- sleep disturbance
- perinatal anxiety or depression
I use evidence-based therapies including cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy and motivational interviewing.

Hello Jessica! Jessica Simpson is showing off her post-baby body once again, and the result is simply stunning. The mother of two showed off her svelte body in a new picture while working with Weight Watchers on Friday, Nov. 8.
"Couldn't stop smiling on set for my new @weightwatchers campaign today! #happy," the 33-year-old wrote. Alongside the caption, a beaming Simpson is seen wearing dark jeans, boots and a tight-fitting white button down top while standing in a field. The singer and designer smiled with her mouth wide open, and with her beautiful blonde locks down in waves.
It isn't a surprise that Eric Johnson's fiancee is so thrilled with her new slimmed down figure. After all, the singer previously dropped 70 pounds after giving birth to Maxwell, 19 months, and has been dropping the weight once again since giving birth to son Ace in June.
"I'm a lot more confident this time around," the former Fashion Star mentor told Tumblr's MomFeeds blog in an interview in late October. "With Maxwell I didn't think about the weight I was gaining, and the first time I stepped on a scale and looked at the number...I mean, that wasn't a number I had ever even considered...and I was faced with a pretty serious truth," she revealed.
Back in August, Simpson was honest about her weight gain in an extensive interview with Us Weekly. "I am just one of those pregnant women who gains a lot of weight," she told Us. "I have really big boobs. I have my curves. Even trying as hard as I did with Ace, I still gained -- definitely not as much as with Maxwell, but still a significant amount."
And because of that, Simpson knew what to do next. "With a toddler on the run and an infant to look after I knew I needed a plan that's simple and fits into my life, along with the support that's so important to my success," she told MomFeeds. "I know Weight Watchers works, so I got on the plan again."

Industry Leaders Choose Palm Beach North
POSTED ON May 18, 2017 - 5000 North Ocean
The old adage "Location, location, location," may still ring true as to why industry leaders are finding Palm Beach North to be an attractive place to open their doors. While not so much a brick-and-mortar storefront as in the past, the saying still applies to where businesses are making their primary decision-where to open their base of operations. With the exceptional tax climate of the Sunshine State, it's never been easier to make Florida home for flourishing business ventures.
It's easy to see why Palm Beach North is an ideal location with its year-round summer climate and active outdoor lifestyle near the ocean. Align that fact with ample and affordable business sites, harmonious government and business partnerships, easy access to I-95, Palm Beach International Airport, the newly-reimagined Port of Palm Beach, a wide range of home real estate offerings, urban sophistication with shops, restaurants, arts & culture, a consistent A-rated Palm Beach County school district and you've got a perfect mix that's hard to argue with.
One Region:
Ten Inviting Personalities
The consortium of municipalities listed at the top make up the distinctive new corridor within Palm Beach County. The 10 municipalities of Palm Beach North share one mission: To foster business and lifestyle prosperity region-wide. All 10 municipalities proactively manage a strategic and sustainable master plan that supports the continued growth of bioscience, aviation, marine, distribution, manufacturing, sports and recreation, energy, healthcare, technology, tourism and other industries, while preserving unique quality-of-life benefits. Every advantage any company needs to prosper and every amenity families and employees could desire can be found here. Maybe that's why Palm Beach North is fast becoming known as Florida's Prosperity Coast.

A vibrant mix of small-town warmth and 21st century innovative science and business. Three miles of beaches, beautiful and accessible waterways, rich history and cultural discoveries, strong growth and a stable, sustainable local government.
Key businesses: Max Planck Florida Institute; Els for Autism Foundation
Jupiter Inlet Colony
This hidden gem was ranked as the "Safest Town in Florida" according to crime statistics reported by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the FBI (2015). With its premier housing choices and upscale amenities, Jupiter Inlet Colony is a particularly coveted choice for many top executives relocating to the Palm Beach North area.
Lake Park
Known as "The Jewel of the Palm Beaches," lush landscaping adorns the town, and marinas are filled with postcard-perfect sailboats fluttering in warm breezes. A revitalized downtown with dynamic shopping, cultural and arts venues, it reflects the premium quality of life town founders dreamed of back in 1923.
Key businesses: Congress Avenue Corridor; North Federal Highway Corridor
Mangonia Park
Covering one square mile, approximately 75% of the town is zoned for industrial use, making this an ideal location for distribution centers, manufacturers, importing/exporting operations and other types of relevant commercial activities.
Key businesses: WPEC Channel-12; Kauff's Transportation Systems; Ande Monofilament
North Palm Beach
The community strives to maintain a small-town atmosphere, while still offering a wide choice of family-friendly recreational choices and upscale amenity opportunities. The Village is home to the North Palm Beach Country Club, which features amenities such as an Olympic-size swimming pool, full tennis facilities with Har-Tru courts and a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.

Garmin-Asus today announced their second Android-powered phone, the A10 (for reasons unknown, they're seemingly not calling it a nuvifone).
Just like the nuvifone A50, the device aims to be a pedestrian navigation device (as in, for pedestrians, not a boring navigation device), and will come with Garmin's navigation software and maps pre-loaded.
The benefit of pre-loaded maps is that no matter where you are (reception be damned) you'll be able to use the navigation features (unlike Google Maps).
The disadvantage here is the you'll have to manually update the maps every-so-often so that the maps are current (unlike Google Maps). Sadly, there is no word on the process/price for updating the maps.
The screen has the same HVGA (320×240) resolution as the A50, and, just like the A50, it will support Microsoft Exchange (whether this means it's running Android 2.1, with native Exchange support, or — like the A50 — Android 1.6 with Exchange on top, isn't clear from the press-release).
The phone includes a 5 megapixel camera, which is pretty standard fare for current Android devices, but still an improvement upon the A50's 3 megapixels.
In fact, aside from the camera spec bump, I don't really see much of a difference between the this A10 fellow and it's elder sibling, the A50.
Unfortunately, no price details were mentioned, but the device is set for launch in Europe and Asia-pacific some time around the middle of 2010, and will include a car mount kit — just like the A50. *A50* *A50* (…those were meant to be echoes…)

Double Elimination Format
Each player enters a Single Elimination called the winners bracket. Losers in the winners bracket enter a modified second Single Elimination called the losers bracket. The winner of the winners bracket, who has no losses, plays the winner of the losers bracket, who has one loss, in the bracket playoff. If the winner of the winners bracket wins, then they win the tournament, because all other players have two loses. But if the winner of the winners brackets loses, then both players have one loss, and they play again to decide the tournament winner.
Below, is an example of a Double Elimination format for eight seeded players. Player B, the winner of the losers bracket wins the first bracket playoff, and forces another bracket playoff against Player A.

Counseling Services
Counseling Services are free for students currently enrolled in a degree granting program and include the following:
- Counseling for such matters as: anxiety, stress, depression, self esteem, relationship concerns, sexual assault, grief and loss, family stress, lesbian, gay, bisexual issues, college-related transition and other developmental issues.
- Individual Counseling and Therapy provides students the opportunity to meet one-on-one with a professional counselor to address concerns they may be confronted with that could impede their ability to achieve academically.
- Group Counseling is offered to provide students with support and encouragement through a shared group experience. Groups allow students to learn new ways of relating to people or issues and to gain self-awareness and self confidence.
- Assessment and referral to other campus resources, such as Health Services, Student Services, Office of The Chaplain, and referrals to community resources when the presenting concerns are beyond Counseling Services' scope of practice.
- Mental health consultation, education, and outreach programs are available to students, faculty, and staff. Counseling Services presents workshops and training sessions to meet the needs of the university community.

Name: Roanne Adams
Age: 30
Hometown: Clinton Hill, Brooklyn
Favorite childhood hairdo: "Side ponytail (California '80s-style) with a headband not on my head, on my forehead because I wanted to look like Bruce Springsteen, but my mom wouldn't let me wear a bandana, so I had to improvise."
Secret styling weapon: "Moroccan Oil."
What do you love most about your hair?: "It's very malleable, because its thick and has a slight wave I can do a lot with it in terms of styling. I can also do nothing to it and it typically looks good."
What drives you nuts?: "Frizz!"
Dream 'do?: "Perfect bangs that never get weird or frizzy like Jane Birkin's."
What's a hair move you've always been curious about but have been afraid to try?: "Platinum blonde."
If your hair had a horoscope, what would it be?: "My Hairoscope for the month of August starts with a bang —the frizziest time of the year! Take a vacation, your beach hair will thank you. Mid-month your hair will shift dramatically as you gear up for NY Fashion Week. You'll have no time to wash and maintain it, but stay strong and keep it up in a pony-tail or wear a hat!"
