This is a thought that I wanted to elaborate on later but a recent post on Raph Koster's blog prompted me to talk about it now. The post is about that really good violinist playing in the subway ignored by a thousand passers-by. Somehow, Raph thinks this is relevant to games. And I can see how he would think that.
I think this is about the apparent conflict between the goals of a game and the enjoyment one might find along the path, in those "little niceties" that the artists in the basement of the game developers have added to fluff things up. This conflict is another case of mistaking an opportunity for a problem. Remove the goals from games, and the problem disappears. It's as simple as that.
Silmple is obviously relative. It's in fact probably a lot harder to design an environment where people can enjoy the journey instead of hurrying towards the goal. In the case of music, this environment is a concert hall in which performances are organized. A lot of work, indeed. But well worth it, if you ask me. As opposed to walking from the metro to your office in the morning, sitting down in the opera with your wife in the evening is a very convenient situation for enjoying beautiful music.
The original thought was this:
Everyone enjoys a beautiful photograph, a beautiful drawing, a beautiful painting. So why should a realtime piece need to be a game before you can enjoy it? Can it not just be beautiful?

Builders Prefer SolaRay Infrared Heating Panels – Simple and Easy to Install
SolaRay radiant heating panels are quick and easy to install needing only a simple electrical installation which is why builders prefer SolaRay heating panels over central forced air heaters. No need to schedule a separate installation of a centralized HVAC system. No waiting for sheet metal work to be completed. No back-framing needed and no mechanical inspection required. Because of the simplicity of installation, it improves your on-time completion and likely will save you money as well with no schedule or cost overruns.
Low Initial Cost – Low Lifetime Cost
Not only are the panels easy to install, but they have a low initial investment. In fact, other than cheap wall or baseboard heaters, there is no heating system with an lower initial cost. And not only that, but Ducoterra's SolaRay radiant heating panels have low operating costs and NO maintenance costs. These all add up to increased energy savings and a lower Total Cost of Ownership.
Upgrade Baseboard or Wall Heaters
While wall and baseboard heaters are inexpensive to purchase and install, they have hidden costs. SolaRay infrared heating panels are 35% to 50% more efficient than wall or baseboard heaters. In just over 3 years a SolaRay heater

i want to us weed killer on my vegetable garden
By Plumberboy
United Kingdom
how long do i have to waite befor i can start planting again i am thinking of weed killing over the winter now that i have dug up all vegetables
- 30 Aug, 2009
Featured on:
grow your own
Roundup which is Glyphosate based is the best as it doesnt stay in the soil for months affecting future crops.
If there are already weeds on your plot then you should weedkill now.
If its currently just bare soil, then weedkilling would be a waste of time . Wait till any weed shoots appear and then kill but leave untill the weeds are about 2 inches high for the weedkiller to be most effective
It may need doing a few times every 2 or 3 weeks if you have bindweed or other perennial weeds come through
Its best to wait 2 or 3 weeks or longer. They say you can sow or plant when its dry as in same day, but best to leave it a bit longer.
After you have weedkilled a few times, sow a green manure to prevent more weeds growing. Weedkiller is less if at all effective in winter.

Last update on 2020-10-26 / Affiliate links / Images from Amazon Product Advertising API
#1. Playcraft Sport 40-Inch Table Top Air Hockey
Before we go into the features of the product, you'll need to answer two questions first. The first is, how often do you play air hockey and the second is how much space is available in your place for playing this game. If your answer to the first question is you only play occasionally and to the second question is you have limited space, then Playcraft Air Hockey Table Top is perfect for you.
This air hockey tabletop has all the necessary features of a good air hockey table, and fortunately, it can fit in a small space in your home.
This hockey table measures 40 inches. In connection to that, it is ideal for kids who cannot reach a big hockey table. It can also be convenient for adults who are having trouble playing hockey on a large table. Despite this table's size, it is robust. The makers of this table have used a sturdy MDF hardwood which made it durable.
Moreover, this hockey tabletop also comes with a UL approved CFM air-powered motor that is perfect for the slippery and silky smooth surface of the table. It is also equipped with two pucks and two strikers with an ABS puck catcher that makes a fast return possible.
The most fantastic feature of this hockey table is you can fold it and store it when it is not in use. Check out our complete guide about the card shuffler.

- Sturdy and durable MDF construction
- Small enough to store out of sight
- Lack of padding on the feet could scratch your tables and floor
#2. Sport Squad HX40 Electric Air Hockey Table

If you are in the search for a budget-friendly and small air hockey table, then you might be interested in the Sport Squad HX40 that has dimensions: 40″L x 20″W x 5″H.
The manufacturers of Sport Squad HX40 have amazingly combined all the goodness of air hockey in a small, portable, and compact air hockey table.

The use of exit pops and modal alerts can dramatically increase your revenue per visitor if used right. These are good extras you can add to your LP's to engage the visitor when they first arrive on, or exit your page. These aren't allowed on all traffic sources, so make sure it's allowed before using them.
Let's look at a few examples to get you started.
Intro Alerts
Here is an example webpage with an intro pop/alert message using jQuery. This is a very basic use of the 'dialog' function in jQuery. Click here to see this in action.
See the code below:
<!doctype html>
This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.
You can change the alert message by editing the text in the above code.
To get a little fancier, we can use a basic modal alert which dims out the background and prevents the user from interacting with the page until it's closed. Click here to see this in action.
See the code below:
<!doctype html>
Adding the modal overlay screen makes the dialog look more prominent because it dims out the page content.
Sed vel diam id libero rutrum convallis. Donec aliquet leo vel magna. Phasellus rhoncus faucibus ante. Etiam bibendum, enim faucibus aliquet rhoncus, arcu felis ultricies neque, sit amet auctor elit eros a lectus.
The above examples show how this works in an entire webpage. Obviously, you want to add the code to your own LP's. To do this, you just need to strip out the code parts and add them to your page. For example, on the first alert message, you would put this code in the head section of your HTML:
Then in the body put this:
This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.
Those alerts are nice, but we can spice them up a little! An easy way to do this is to use the jQuery ThemeRoller. The easiest way to learn this is to play around changing colors. Say I wanted to change the header background color of our modal window. I would just select the 'header/toolbar' area, then the color field and change it:
Once you change the color, you'll see it reflected in the examples down the middle of the page. To see what it will look like in our modal window, click the "open dialog' button under the dialog section. You can customize almost anything from the fonts to colors and borders.
Once you're satisfied with the look, click the 'download theme' button. In the zip file you download, you'll only need one file. Inside the CSS folders, take the file named jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.css and put it in the root of your LP folder.
Then, in your LP, change this line:
To this:
Ideas for use:
The classic use of an intro alert message is to call attention to something that would make the user want to stay on the page. For example:
"Special deals today only"
"You have a new message"
"Only x left in sock"
This could potentially be used in any niche, and can really increase your LP CTR.
Popunders are windows that pop under your LP. This example uses a popunder when someone clicks anywhere on your lp. Think about the potential with this: you ccould convert visitors on not one, but two offers. Click here to see an example. In this example, a popunder (going to Google) will open when someone clicks anywhere on the page or on my link.
Check out the code:
<!doctype html>
Click anywhere on the page, or the link below to see the exit popunder.
This is the script in an HTML page. You also need a file in your LP directory called jquery.popunder.js which looks like this:
function jsPopunder(sUrl, sName, sWidth, sHeight) {
if (typeof(sName)===null || sName === '') sName = Math.floor((Math.random()*1000)+1);
sWidth = (sWidth || screen.width);
sHeight = (sHeight || screen.height); sHeight = sHeight-122;
var sOptions = 'toolbar=no,scrollbars=yes,location=yes,statusbar=yes,menubar=no,resizable=1,width='+sWidth.toString()+',height='+sHeight.toString()+',screenX=0,screenY=0,left=0,top=0';
// create pop-up from parent context
var _parent = (top != self && typeof(top.document.location.toString())==='string') ? top : self;
var popunder = _parent.window.open(sUrl, sName, sOptions);
if (popunder) {
if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf('MSIE') === -1) {
popunder.params = { url: sUrl };
(function(e) {
with (e) {
if (typeof window.mozPaintCount != 'undefined' || typeof navigator.webkitGetUserMedia === "function") {
try {
var poltergeist = document.createElement('a');
poltergeist.href = "javascript:window.open('about:blank').close();document.body.removeChild(poltergeist)";
try{ opener.window.focus(); }catch(err){}
you can download the script here
To change the URL the pop under opens, change the 'google.com' in this line in the HTML document:
Example uses:
A popunder can be used effectively in almost any niche. You could offer someone 'one more chance at a deal', or simply pop a related offer. Be creative here! Try popping related offers, collecting opt-ins, or showing an offer wall.
Get creative with these tricks. You can do a lot with them!

Every year, it seems there are at least a handful of players on each major league roster whose job security hinges on their performance over the course of spring training.
At Milwaukee Brewers camp this spring, there are a number of players who have either elevated their Opening Day roster spot security, increased their likelihood of being sent to minor league camp or increased their likelihood of being released from the organization altogether.
Just past the midway point of spring training, now seems like a perfect time to pinpoint those players who have impressed and disappointed. Here is a look at a few winners and losers of Brewers camp thus far.

Camera Systems
Why Stock Photos?
The short answer is that we use stock photos on some listings to save us time and to save you money. The longer answer is that we love to take photos of each and every lens, camera, and accessory, but doing so takes a lot of time and makes it difficult to get everything listed. So, we decided to compromise: take gorgeous photos of some things and charge a little more for them, and use stock photos for other items and charge a little less for those, all else equal.
The items listed here were tested thoroughly by our trained technicians. If they observed any significant flaws, you'll see them detailed above. If the items listed here are exceptionally awesome, you'll see that noted above too. Regardless, please remember this is a used item and it's bound to have at least a microscopic imperfection.
If you're interested in purchasing an item with specific photos and ratings, we don't blame you one bit. Please visit one of our Exposed! listings (if available), usually marked with a green badge. If none are currently available, by all means, contact us.

Google AdSense is great program for earning money. But there are lots of people in this world who did not do any default and their accounts are banned and disabled by Google AdSense. It is very sad story for everyone who is interested to join this program.
|Vinod Kumar (Educator)
You were financial dependent on Google AdSense. So, if you have not Google AdSense account, it will surely affect you mentally and emotionally.
As per my thinking, everything which will effect to you and you will be dependent on affected thing. It will become your addiction. It will surely control on you. It will surely harm your health because without it, you will be disturb mentally and emotionally. It will bring tension by thinking instability in future. So, from the first day of AdSense account, you have to learn to live without Google AdSense account. Only with this, you can live tension free and healthy life. Like you, Google AdSense team is also group of people who also do mistakes. They are not God. When you can do mistake, everyone can do mistake in this world. So, be happy and come to learn life without this accounting with following points.
1. Remember the Day When You did not Have Google AdSense Account
No one has this account when he or she came in this world. So, one of the great way is to live without this account to remember all those days. Think your way of life before this account and you have to convert your life as before same account. Think, you are source of power. My Google AdSense account was opened in Jan. 2008 and it was disabled in Sept. 18, 2015 without giving me any chance to correct the mistake or any warning or asking question. It can disturb anybody's life if he or she is innocent. If It can happened with me, then it can also happened with anyone without any mistake or with mistake.
I live my life as simple as before this account. It is correct, it has increased my financial resources but I did not forget my past life. My mission of life is to help students which was before Google AdSense account and this is also this time.
Life should be happy if it is for mission instead depending on anything. No matter what we earn, matter is what we think and do for our mission. Remember always your mission, it will surely decrease your stress.
2. Never Depend only Google AdSense Account
One of the biggest mistake, I did which you should not do. Never use only Google AdSense account in your website. You must show donation button, you can sell your E-Book, you can sell your printed educational magazine and you can show also other ads network or give some professional service on your website or blog. It will surely increase your revenue of the website one side and second side, it will keep you survive. For example, after one year, if your website gets 10,000+ per day visits. Its traffic will surely go to your donation web page and your e-Book page and your other professional services.
So, you will surely get money from this. It will also survive your family who will give financial support for all basic needs. If you have children, second point is must for you.
3. Keep Saving
Every 1 $ which you earn from Google AdSense, you must save. I earned about $ 40,000 from Google AdSense. Thanks God, I saved 62.5% of it in Cash form which is enough for me, my online business and for my family to Survive in India because I have saved it and invested in Govt. Banks as FD. When I can saved it, you should also start it for financial freedom. Even Prime minister will not help you which you can help you and your family with the help of Saving. I recommend you to save minimum 50% of your earning whether it came from business or service. Read the book the Richest man in Babylon and you know the importance of saving the money.
As a student of accounting, I know every money which we earn from job or business is not our income but it should our capital. For this, I have decreased my expenses. If you do not learn, how to decrease your expenses, you can learn from my written steps and tips.
4. Do Online Business
From the first day of my Google AdSense account, I realized that source of earning of this account is advertisement. Whether google AdSense is distributing billions of dollar every day to AdSense Publishers, but source of income is Google AdWords. All those who advertise their business give money to Google. Google distributes it with partners of Google AdSense through google AdSense program. Instead depending on this money, you should learn to earn money from your online business. You must promote it from the first day of Google AdSense account. I have also online shop where I sell books, stationery, CDs and other Products. I also gave money to Google and Facebook and offline Printed newspaper for advertising of my online ecommerce website. You also should do online business and it must connected with your free content distribution service. Because people will come more your website because there are lots of quality contents which are free available. Instead AdSense on it, you can show your online business's product ads on it. If advertisers can sell through your website, you can also sell your own products. If I earned $ 40,000 through Google AdSense, I teach you its accounting. It means google has also earned about $ 40,000 from my website. It means, total earning $ 80,000 which was given by advertisers which may be 10% of their budget of promoting online Sale. It means, with my website, if I can sell $ 8,00,000 products in past of other advertisers. I can also sell my own products also. No one is weak in this world when God has made us and has given all powers.
Life is great and we should not waste it by thinking about misfortune of yesterday. - Og Mandino
5. Live a Simple Life
Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi are my Role Models. I had read their life biographies. They live in simple life and think high. You should read biographies of Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi. I have followed their life. It is also so simple. With this, anyone can live life without google AdSense.
6. Start Direct Advertisement
Google is taking advertising from business advertisers. Why you not? Advertising is neither sin nor evil. For example if your past earning is $ 2000 per month (on average) through Google AdSense with three ads units. You can sell your website's three space of 300X250 units with each of $ 500 per month which is less than your AdSense earning but it will surely attract advertisers because this is low than their past bid. But, for this, you have to review advertising. You have to make strict policy. Otherwise spam will come and there will no value add in your website. So, be careful about this. Otherwise advertise your own products is great on your free website.

The Boston Celtics host the Washington Wizards in Game 1 of an Eastern Conference semifinal series on Sunday at TD Garden (ABC, 1 p.m.) The two teams split their regular-season series 2-2 but it was the way that tempers tended to flare that makes this playoff rematch that much more intriguing.
Recent meetings have featured flagrant fouls, nose bops, a police presence and one team wearing all-black funeral attire. Here's an FAQ to help explain how Celtics-Wizards has emerged as the NBA's most chippy and unexpected rivalry.
How exactly did all of this start?
The dustups date to last season. In the teams' third meeting, in mid-January 2016, Jae Crowder -- perhaps the central protagonist in this entire drama -- got tagged with a technical foul in the final minute of Boston's 119-117 win in Washington. Crowder could be seen barking at the Wizards' bench and pointing at then-coach Randy Wittman. After the game, Crowder suggested Wittman cursed at him and called him soft. "[Wittman] was saying something about me being soft, and bleep, bleep, bleep," Crowder said. "I feel like he was getting away with a lot of curse words and inappropriate words to me, and I retaliated and I got hit [with the technical]." Wittman later admitted he yelled at Crowder but denied using profanity. There was no obvious escalation when the teams met again two weeks later -- a lopsided Boston win -- and Wittman was fired after the season.
With Wittman out of the picture, why didn't this whole thing just go away?
The Wizards and Celtics reportedly were two of the primary suitors for Al Horford when free agency opened in July. Boston ultimately won that tug-of-war, signing Horford to a four-year, $113 million contract. While discussing Boston's big-splash signing in August, Crowder pointed out how Boston had beaten Washington four times during the 2015-16 season and suggested the Wizards were a less attractive option because of that. At least one Wizard, Marcin Gortat, took note of the jab on social media.
So things escalated from there?
Kind of. The Wizards absolutely dominated the first meeting of the season, but business picked up when -- despite being up 20 with 5:24 to play -- John Wall clubbed Marcus Smart in the backcourt, earning a flagrant foul 2 and automatic ejection. Smart, taken to the ground by the foul, immediately sprang to his feet and exchanged words with Wall. The players were separated, but Wall appeared to tell Smart to meet him out back as the two continued shouting at each other.
So now we're cooking with gas?
The teams played nice for the first half of their next meeting in Boston on Jan. 11. But in the third quarter, Smart and Bradley Beal -- who had a bit of a history because Smart inadvertently broke Beal's nose when he hit him in the face with his off-hand going for a layup last season -- got tangled up on the baseline when Beal tried to cut without the ball. Smart and Beal exchanged words, and Beal earned a technical foul in the sequence.
Isaiah Thomas scored 20 of his game-high 38 points in the fourth quarter as the Celtics pulled away for a 117-108 triumph. After the final buzzer, Wall and Crowder exchanged words on the court near the Wizards bench, culminating with Crowder jabbing his finger into Wall's nose and Wall trying to retaliate with a slap. A herd of teammates and assistant coaches separated the players, but the teams were still yelling at each other as they returned to their locker rooms, which were in close proximity at TD Garden.
Five Boston police officers were positioned between the Celtics and Wizards locker rooms after the game to ensure no further escalation. Otto Porter suggested in the aftermath that the Celtics played dirty, to which Thomas responded, "If playing hard is dirty, then I guess we are a dirty team."
Crowder was fined $25,000 for his role; Wall earned a $15,000 penalty.
How did the teams handle the fallout from the scuffle?
The Wizards, at the behest of Beal, elected to wear all-black funeral attire to the rematch in Washington 13 days later. It was a bit of a bold decision for a late-January regular-season game, but the Wizards backed up their fashion choice with their play as Beal's 31 points keyed a 123-108 triumph.
"I wanted to win, man. I wanted to win bad," said Beal, who insisted the funeral gear was simply to inspire the Wizards.
Not only did the Celtics struggle that night, but Smart got booted from the bench after a flare-up with assistant coaches after trying to check himself back into the game despite the Wizards having pulled away.
What can we expect from this series?
When the two teams met for the final time in the regular season in late March, Boston and Washington were jockeying for position near the top of the East. It felt like there was a good chance that these teams might cross paths in the postseason. Now it's come to fruition.
A playoff meeting should only enhance this budding rivalry. What's remarkable is that Boston and Washington haven't met in the postseason since the opening round of the 1984 playoffs.
Despite all the extracurriculars, it's clear the Celtics respect the Wizards and the talent they possess, particularly in the backcourt.
"They're a good team," Crowder said after Boston eliminated the Bulls on Friday night. "We've been battling with those guys all year. Wall is their head of the snake. They're a great transition team. I feel like we've got to get better and better each game with our transition defense. We've been talking about it [against the Bulls] as well, but it's probably gonna be a little more enhanced with those guys, with transition and those guys getting up and down, and just try to make it a halfcourt game."
It seems inevitable that tempers will flare in this series. The Celtics had their share of dust-ups with the Bulls in Round 1 and playing the same opponent multiple times in a two-week span leads to emotional outbursts.
This series could ultimately hinge on which team is able to best harness that energy and emotion.

It seems to be one of the given's of homeownership that the garage door will last as long as you want it to. But is that actually true? As is the case with most things the answer to this question depends on a variety of factors. Most manufacturers claim garage doors will last 15-30 years. However, if you treat your garage door well and use it sparingly you may be able to extend its life (almost) indefinitely. On the other hand, if you treat your garage door with benign neglect it may not last 10 years. The answer to the question also depends on your definition of 'worn out'.
Determining the Life Expectancy of Garage Doors in Broomfield
The last point made in the introductory paragraph - how you define 'worn out' - is an important one because some people will insist on replacing the garage door when a major mechanical part like the torsion spring breaks. Others will simply replace worn out parts and keep the door.
With that in mind you can see why it's difficult to say a garage door will last 'x years'. Nonetheless here are some of the factors that go into determining how long a garage door will last.
- Price - "You get what you pay for" applies to garage doors just as it does to clothes and cars. If you purchased your garage door strictly based on price chances are you'll be facing major issues just a few years after installing it. Springs, hinges, pulleys, tracks and door sections made from inferior materials will not last as long as their high quality counterparts and a cheap motor will likely start giving you problems after just a few thousand cycles.
- Usage - Most torsion springs are rated for 15-20,000 open/close cycles. Tension springs usually about half that many. The more you use the door the faster these key components will wear out. So if you use the door 6 times a day you'll use up those 10 or 20,000 cycles in about 5 years. Whereas if you only use it twice a day you may get 15 years out of it. Keep in mind that a broken spring doesn't mean you have to replace the whole door.
- Care - You should call your garage door professional to schedule regular maintenance or make a point to perform it yourself. Otherwise your garage door will age prematurely, become noisy and uncooperative and begin to pose a real danger to anyone going in or out of the garage. It's important that someone take the time to inspect the door to make sure nothing has been compromised and all the moving parts are in good working order.
The bottom line is there's no way to say for sure "Your door will last (this) long." There is however a way to make sure it lasts as long as possible: regular maintenance. The following suggestions can help ensure your door has a long, healthy life.
- Keep it Clean - Several times a year you should wash both sides of the door itself to remove dirt and grime. Wood panels should be repainted on a regular basis before peeling and chipping paint exposes the wood to the weather. If the panels are steel you can apply car wax to keep them looking sharp and better able to repel rain, snow and ice.
- Keep it Lubricated - All the critical moving parts - the springs, hinges and rollers - should be lubricated several times a year. The type of oil you use will be important because heavier oils tend to attract and retain more dirt and grime and don't work as well during the extreme cold of winter. Something like WD-40 or spray graphite should work fine.
- Watch for Worn Out Parts - Parts wear out. Especially if you use your door several times a day or more. Someone should inspect the door once a month to determine if the springs, cables, rollers, track, chain, hinges or any other parts are exhibiting signs of failure. If so they should be replaced quickly so as not to undermine the overall operation of the door.
- Keep it Closed - The motor, springs, cables etc were not designed to be exposed directly to the elements for long periods of time. If you leave garage doors open all manner of dirt and debris can blow into the garage and clog the tracks, gunk up the springs and cables and compromise the motor leading to expensive repairs.
When to Replace Your Garage Door
While regular maintenance and replacing worn out parts will certainly help extend the life of your garage doors nothing lasts forever and you'll eventually need to buy a new one. But how will you know when you've crossed that line? Here are a few ways.
- The Door Just Looks Bad - If multiple panels on the door are showing visible wear and tear such as warping, cracking or rusting and a new coat of paint or a good cleaning are not going to solve the problem, it's probably time to replace the door.
- Too Many Simultaneous Failures - If the door reaches a point where it's operating in a haphazard way and a number of elements all need to be repaired or replaced at the same time you're probably better off, from a financial standpoint, replacing the door altogether.
- The Door has Been Damaged - If bad weather or vehicular contact has caused significant damage to the door you're better off replacing it than trying to fix it. There could be unseen but crucial structural damage that will escape the repair process and pose a future hazard.
Call the professionals at A Better Garage Door to schedule regular maintenance on your door. This will ensure it's at its best when you need it the most during the depths of the Denver or Brighton winter. The garage door is the largest moving part of your home and adds a major level of comfort and convenience to modern domestic life. Treat it with the respect and care it deserves.

by Jermell Witherspoon, Zeno Early Learning Specialist
People, coming together to create space for gifts, talents, passions, and the meeting of basic needs in the shallowest of terms, is a definition of community.
Zeno not only celebrates the power of math, we celebrate the power of community. Before ever beginning work with a new partner, Zeno builds trust and rapport with communities through listening sessions with the families and providers. The next step is co-creation, or working in partnership with communities to leverage the "mathy" activities already happening, and layer math onto existing programs for preschool-age children. The outcome? A positive, inclusive math culture where everyone believes they can do math.
Zeno's latest adventure has been with the beautiful community of Pasco, one of three cities that make up the Tri-Cities region of the state of Washington. We, like most organizations, do all we think is necessary in order to be "ready" for the task ahead of us, in the communities we serve. While deep preparation is important, there is nothing more gratifying than being present and open to unexpected opportunities to grow.
The level of interest and responsiveness to Zeno's program was one that I don't think we could have fully prepared for. The clear desire of childcare providers to want to grow and expand the minds of the children they serve was more than we could have ever expected. It is not easy welcoming strangers into your home, or even listening to what they have to say. Its not easy trusting that a group of people you don't know much about have your children's best interest in mind. While it's not always easy welcoming people into a tight knit community, it sometimes happens, and word quickly spread about an organization from Seattle that was radically welcoming, willing to learn, and devoted to teaching.
Zeno's intention was to pilot the program with 10 Spanish-speaking, home-based childcare providers in Pasco, predominantly serving the children of local agricultural workers. Much to our surprise and delight, over 30 childcare providers showed up to the first training Zeno facilitated. We looked around and made a decision in that moment that if these families were ready to work with us, we would find a way to work with each of them. And that's just what we did! Everyone was welcomed and provided with materials needed to expand their early math learning with the children in their care.
The people of Pasco not only came to the first meeting, they have been present at every meeting since. There has been a consistency from the Pasco community that fuels my 3.5 hour drive each month. The Pasco community continues to welcome me into their homes, and has been consistent in their hunger to grow with Zeno. The providers are not only eager to receive the materials from Zeno, they are eager to use everything we provide to enhance the spaces they serve the children in. The information given is used and valued in each home, that is clear every time I step into the centers and am bombarded by excited children, wanting to tell me all about what they have done with their Zeno games since the last time we were together. The Pasco Community has extended their hand to me, and for that I am grateful.

In 2010, Editorial RM initiated a competition that selects for publication a previously unpublished project by photographers from Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. The winners of previous editions of the prize will be introduced, after which there will be a discussion of the state of contemporary photography in Latin America and the intersection of Latin American and Iberian photographic culture.
2:45 — 4:00 p.m.
Horacio Fernández (Spain), curator at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid, and curator and author of The Latin American Photobook, in conversation with David Levi Strauss (US), author, critic, and chair of the Art Criticism and Writing MFA Program at the School of Visual Arts, New York.
Horacio Fernández, curator and author of The Latin American Photobook, wrote Fotografia Publica (1999), one of the first major books about the photobook. Shortly thereafter, Andrew Roth's The Book of 101 Books was published, featuring the research and writing of David Levi Strauss, among other authors. Fernández and Levi Strauss discuss the growing area of research, scholarship, and critical writing around the photobook.
4:15– 5:30 p.m.
Pablo Ortiz Monasterio (photographer and editor, Mexico) and Sara Facio (photographer and editor, Argentina), moderated by Gabriela Nouzeilles
Presentation and discussion about La Azotea and Rio de Luz, two artist-driven Latin American publishers. Sara Facio and Pablo Ortiz Monasterio have both worked as photographers, editors, and publishers; they will introduce their individual publishing efforts on behalf of other photographers as well as their own photographic work.
On the occasion of the exhibition The Latin American Photobook, this symposium has been made possible in part with support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Tinker Foundation, The Council for International Teaching and Research and the Program in Latin American Studies at Princeton University, Estrellita and Daniel Brodsky, and the Mexican Cultural Institute of New York. With additional thanks to the International Center of Photography and Fundacion Televisa.

Since 1911, every March 8 is celebrated as International Women's Day, in which more than 1,000 corporations, groups, and individuals from almost every country honor the valuable achievements of women and increase awareness regarding issues of equality. Many world leaders recognize the day with official statements, and people everywhere – in craft markets to corporate boardrooms – paint the day with purple.
A remarkably accomplished woman, Mary Baker Eddy, the founder of this paper in 1908, was well aware of the need for valuing womanhood and promoting female equality. She believed the bias against women stemmed from a misconception of who we – both men and women – truly are and where we come from.
One way to gain a better sense of who we are is to refer to the first chapter of the Bible, which states, "God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" (Genesis 1:27). In her chapter called "Genesis" in "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mrs. Eddy explains that "man" is a generic term that holds no reference to gender. I find her book helpful in bringing out the spiritual message of the Bible, that we are all the whole and loved spiritual reflection of God. As God's reflection, we all are complete, expressing the range of qualities that have their origin in God – from strength, courage, and wisdom to grace, compassion, and intuition. God, our Father and Mother, expresses God-like qualities throughout His creation, and He values each of His children equally. The more our global family understands this spiritual concept, the less women will be devalued.
I saw proof of how this understanding can improve the valuation of women. The example came through a couple, who are Christian Scientist friends of mine. They were expecting their first child, and the dad-to-be was convinced that he couldn't appreciate or relate to a girl, so he was dreading to find out the gender of the child. The couple, especially the wife, actually prayed to know that he would find a way to have a greater appreciation for feminine qualities. In her prayers, she thought deeply about a statement Mrs. Eddy wrote, "Love is impartial and universal in its adaptation and bestowals" (Science and Health, p. 13). This divine Love, or God, is powerful and ever present and had the ability to awaken this impartial love in her husband's heart. She prayed to understand that her husband, as the reflection of the all-embracing Father-Mother God, had the natural ability to reflect and embrace both male and female qualities. His ability to value womanhood was really an ability to value and understand a part of himself.
Her prayers were answered when her husband had to take a multi-hour flight home from a business trip. He was seated next to a 4-year-old girl, whose mom was sitting a row forward attending to two younger children. When he first assessed the seating situation, he looked around for a flight attendant. There were no other available seats, so he resigned himself to a long trip home. Perhaps, he thought, if he stuck his nose in a book he would go unnoticed.
But not so! The conversation began with the little girl offering him a stick of gum, which he accepted. Soon after she needed help opening her snack, which led to her asking for his help to see the movie better. She even fell asleep with her head on his shoulder. At one point during the flight the husband asked the girl's mother if he could pray for her daughter because she said her tummy was feeling "rumbly." After he prayed for her, she felt perfectly well. By the end of the flight, she took his hand and told him that she loved him. Of course, he was a puddle. She had softened a hard heart, and he knew a tender, loving daughter would be more than fine with him. It seems he caught a glimpse of the deep value of her as the reflection of pure, gentle, divine Love. She made such an impact on him that he easily persuaded his wife that their newborn daughter's middle name should be the first name of that little girl's on the plane. Now many years since, the dad speaks with pride and appreciation for the brilliance, fun, and richness his daughter has added to his life and how he "can't imagine missing out on her."
Yes, March 8 is a good day, as is every day, to value women – in the home, in the workplace, and across the world.

When a spouse or other family member calls the police during or after an argument, you or your spouse may be charged with domestic violence. If a family member, you, your spouse or someone living in your home has drugs or drug paraphernalia in plain sight, the police may search your home for more drugs. Instead of facing a charge for domestic violence, you could be facing drug charges, too.
Before you speak with the police tell them you would like your attorney present. You could say something to incriminate yourself or a family member. A domestic violence and criminal attorney will help you when you go to court for your arraignment.
While the police may cite the statute they feel you may have violated, a criminal defense attorney can explain what the statute means and will know whether that statute actually applies to your situation. The attorney may be able to get the charges lowered or dismissed, depending on the circumstances.
If you feel you have been falsely accused of domestic violence or of having drugs, you should contact an attorney who has experience with these issues. Domestic violence charges can be difficult to get off your record, even if you were falsely accused. Drug charges are also difficult to get off your record once you have been accused of having drugs in your home or vehicle. With certain evidence — if it exists — and by following the law, an experienced attorney may be able to reduce charges; or if you were falsely accused, get the charges dropped completely.
The most common calls for domestic violence are between spouses, but fights between parents and children, siblings and extended family members may also be filed under domestic violence charges. Often, the police will arrest the person who has no marks, making the assumption that the person harmed the person with bruises, scratches and other marks indicative of a physical fight.
Domestic violence could also be oral. When police have no clues to go by, bruises for example, the police may arrest both parties if one of the parties does not agree to leave for the night or if the parties continue arguing after police leave. The courts do take domestic violence issues seriously. If you have been accused of domestic violence — whether you committed the crime or not — contact an attorney. If drugs were involved in the domestic violence dispute and the police also charged you with a drug charge, make sure your attorney knows about this charge and what the police found to warrant drug charges.

The real secret to personal finance isn't some sort of financial arcana. It isn't finding some loophole or discovering some magical "system" that will get your life in order.
Rather, it's about following straightforward principles day in and day out that inevitably guide you to a better financial state.
Here are eleven rules for practical day to day living that will help set you on a good financial path if you follow them carefully.
Rule #1: If you haven't used it in the last twelve months, sell it or otherwise get rid of it. This simple rule solves a bunch of problems all at once.
First, it keeps you from accumulating too much stuff. Many people live in houses that feel overfilled with stuff simply because they hang onto things that they somehow convince themselves that they "like" but yet never touch for years and years while those things sit on shelves or in closets or in garages gathering dust. If you're not using something within a year, it's not something you really love.
Second, this cycle of getting rid of unused things ensures that you get rid of items while they still have value. Something that's been in storage for a year or two likely still has value. Something that's been sitting around for a decade probably doesn't have a whole lot of value any more. It's better to be able to put that money to work paying off debt than having it sit in your closet gathering dust.
One good way to do this is to make this a routine once or twice a year. Empty out your closet and get rid of everything you're sure you haven't touched in a year. If you're not sure, put a piece of masking tape on it with a big "X" on it (or put everything in a box with a big "X" on it. Next time you clean, anything in the "X" box or with "X" masking tape on it can be sold off without worry.
Rule #2: If you have a use for something, borrow it first. If it's at all possible, try borrowing something before buying it. See if a friend has it and you can borrow it for a while. Check it out from the library. Go to a community event and try it out a few times.
This isn't always possible, of course, but you should strive to make it happen if you can.
Remember, a demonstration doesn't count as actually using something. Anything can look great in the hands of a salesperson. Focus on whether or not you actually have a use for the item.
Rule #3: If you've borrowed something and see yourself actually wanting to own it, start with a low end version. Start with a version from a secondhand store. Start with a version bought off of Craigslist. Start with the store brand version. Use that version and see whether or not it becomes a regular use item for you before you invest in a high quality version.
The reason is that, if you're buying something new that's not a regular use item for you, you can't be certain that you will use it enough to get the value out of what you paid for it. It's only through repeated use that an item returns value to you. So, until you're sure of that time and use commitment, you're better off with a low end version.
I often do this with books. If I read a book from the library that I like and want for reference or to potentially read again in the future, I'll start looking for a used copy or put it on my Kindle discount watch list so I can pick it up if it goes on sale. I'm also very active in used board game trading – in fact, I joke that most of the board games I own are actually "rented" because if they don't click, I'll trade it away.
Rule #4: Whenever you're about to spend money on anything, stop for ten seconds and ask yourself whether you absolutely must have it right this second, and if not, put it down (or leave the website without a purchase) for now. This doesn't mean you won't ever buy it, just that you're putting it off for now and thinking about it a little more.
That simple rule, if constantly applied, brushes off a lot of unnecessary purchases. The key is to actually apply it seriously and consistently. You need to get into the routine of thinking about everything you're going to buy in this way so that if it's not essential (or part of a planned splurge or part of a "free spending" segment of your budget), you're in the routine of just putting it back and not buying it.
It's important to note that it's usually a good idea to avoid sales unless there's something specific you're planning to buy already. The fact that "it's on sale" is often used as an easy justification to buy something that's nowhere near a need.
Rule #5: Whenever you put something down because of Rule #4, wait a month and see if you still want it. I'll often write down the item for further reflection later and then perhaps research it a bit online. What I find is that if I give it a few days, most items fade pretty quickly and I'll either completely forget about it or I'll find that I don't want it (and often wonder why I even did want it).
This is a good use for a note-taking app on your phone or (my preferred method) a pocket notebook. Just write down what that item is that you were thinking about and it'll subconsciously feel like you "took action" regarding that desire, so it'll take the edge off of the desire to buy it immediately. Plus, it gives you that reference point to look it up later.
I use this a ton when I'm in a bookstore. That list of books ends up getting checked out at the library (rule #2) and then, if I do like it, I'll pick it up used (rule #3). (These rules have lots of nice synergies.)
Rule #6: If you still want something after a month, start carefully shopping around for it – after all, you've waited a month, what's a few more weeks of looking for a great price on it? If an item is still on my mind after a month, that's the point at which I'll start shopping around for it. I'll start looking for it used if it's an item I haven't owned before (like rule #3), or if it's a replacement, I'll heavily research which item I want and start shopping around for it.
Both of those paths take a little bit of time, but they both save a lot of money. The thing is, if I've already waited for a month to buy that item, waiting another few weeks to find it at the right price and to make sure I'm getting the right model is not a big deal.
Rule #7: If you want to save for a big goal, make that savings automatic – ideally, have it taken straight out of your paycheck. It is very unlikely you'll miss it. There's a pretty simple principle that guides a lot of our human existence: the path of least resistance. In almost everything we do, we tend to choose the option that offers the least overall resistance – it takes the least amount of effort when everything is considered (there are some exceptions, but they're usually related to a persona passion).
What this means is that if your savings plan requires you to constantly take action to maintain it, you're very likely to eventually fall off the wagon with it. The best way to make progress toward any financial goal is to automate it, so that all payments and deposits are made automatically and you actually have to take an effort to stop it.
Sign up for your 401(k) at work and turn on automatic payments. Start a Roth IRA and do the same. Set up an automatic extra credit card payment through your online bill pay. Set up an automatic small weekly transfer from your checking to your savings to build up an emergency fund.
"But I barely make ends meet as it is!" A funny thing happens when you start automating. You find that you start to adjust your spending to match what's left in your checking account because there's less resistance to doing that than dealing with overdrafts. IT doesn't happen immediately, but it does happen.
Rule #8: It's almost always cheaper to do it for yourself. If it seems hard, it's almost always because you just need to do it several times to build the basic skills. This is true for everything from cooking meals to sewing on a button to changing oil to dealing with a clogged toilet – and many, many other things. In each of those cases, it can be tempting to throw up your hands up and just hire someone to do those things because they seem either more challenging than they're worth. Go to a restaurant or get takeoutt or delivery. Take a shirt to a tailor. Go pay for an oil change. Call a plumber.
The problem is that those choices are expensive and they really start to add up, plus the tasks really aren't all that complicated. They only seem complicated and hard because it's a skill you haven't practiced yet; the more you practice that skill, the easier it gets and the less of an obstacle that task presents.
The solution is obvious, too: just take on those simple tasks as often as possible, even if it seems hard. Make lots of meals. Sew on those buttons. Do your own oil change. Figure out how to fix the minor toilet issue.
Once you do those things enough times, they cease to seem scary and hard and they no longer feel like a lot of work. They're not intimidating any more and your skills have risen to the point where it really isn't much work any more.
For example, I feel almost no reason to go to a restaurant because it's more efficient to make something at home. My meals at home are usually tastier and far less expensive. For us, eating out happens for special occasions.
Rule #9: Money doesn't buy happiness. If you're unhappy, throwing money at the problem won't solve it. Many people end up buying things to make themselves feel better – "retail therapy" is quite a thing, and people often do it with small perks, too.
The catch, of course, is that the little burst of joy you might get from trying to "buy" happiness never lasts. It fades surprisingly quickly and then you're back where you started except with less money (you might also now own an ill-considered item or two).
If you're feeling unhappy in the moment, find a mood-raising outlet that doesn't cost money. I go for a walk in the woods or meditate or write in my journal or curl up with a book.
The more important approach, though, is to put in effort to cultivate a life that naturally bubbles with joy. Make sure your mental health is in order. Get regular exercise. Build lots of strong relationships. Put aside blocks of time for things you care about. Do things for others on a consistent basis. Those are the building blocks of a happy life, not a shopping trip or some coffee.
Rule #10: The personal finance success you want isn't going to be easy and it's not going to come tomorrow. You're going to have to work for it. You're going to have to be patient. Each day is a few steps in a long journey. Evaluate your financial success and financial progress each month or, even better, each year, rather than each day. Using the other nine rules in this article consistently in your life will make a profound effect on your finances, but the results won't be obvious immediately. It will take at least a month or two to even see an impact in your checking account, and you won't start seeing big results in terms of paying off debt or building up a nice balance in an account for several months.
That's why it's important to judge your behavior on a daily basis and your results on a much less frequent basis – monthly at most and ideally quarterly or annually. Your success on a daily basis is measured on your choices. Your success on a long term basis is signified by the results of those choices.
Don't get the two confused or you'll be disheartened. If you weigh yourself after a week of dieting, you'll be depressed. If you check your account balances after three weeks of good financial moves, you'll be bummed out. Instead, pride yourself on changes in your daily behavior and strive to keep it going. Look at actual results later.
Rule #11: If you're trying to succeed at one of the other rules and mess up, don't beat yourself up over it. Tomorrow is another day. Instead, ask yourself seriously where you went wrong and spend some time visualizing yourself doing it right the next time. Although it's absolutely true that you should be measuring short term success on your behavior, you're asking for failure if you demand nothing short of perfection from yourself. You will make mistakes. You will fall short. You will make the wrong choice sometimes.
The key is what you do when you fall short. Don't beat yourself up over it. Instead, step back and ask yourself why you went wrong. Why did you make this mistake? What conditions were present? What feelings were running through you? What can you do otherwise when that situation comes up again? How can you nip those feelings and those situations in the bud so you're not in that situation again?
Consider those questions, then come up with a better approach you could have used in that situation. Then, visualize yourself actually using that better approach. Imagine yourself going through that situation where you made the mistake, but doing it right instead. Let that run through your head over and over again for a while and you'll find that you're much more likely to handle that speed bump well going forward.
These rules are a starting point for creating a set of life behaviors that will lead to long term financial success. They're not magic recipes that will instantly make you rich. Rather, they'll set you on a different trajectory, one that gradually points you in a better direction without requiring major upheavals of your life. Personal finance success is a long march, and this is all about taking good steps.
Good luck!
