text: Knowledge Network Study Abroad The Project for Learning Abroad, Training and Outreach (PLATO) An Integrated Study Abroad, Training, Certification, and Diversity Outreach Program By Gary Rhodes and Hai Hong Study abroad is one of the most effective ways to develop international perspectives that promote global understanding, yet too few U.S. community college and university students take advantage of this opportunity. For those who do study abroad, too many participate in programs with limited orientation prior to study abroad and find a disconnect, rather than an integration of the study abroad experience into their home campus degree programs. Many times, recognition of the added value of the study abroad experience by the institution, employers, and participants upon the student's return to the home campus is also lacking. This is a problem for many U.S. college and university students and is exacerbated by unacceptably low levels of participation by African American students (3.4 percent), Latino/Hispanics (5.1 percent), Native American (0.5 percent) and Asian/ Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders (6.0 percent) (Open Doors 2004; see also table 1 on page 23). Many underrepresented student populations are left out of current study abroad recruitment and outreach. As Craig (1998) writes in The Black Collegian, "Our world is rapidly changing politically, socially and economically, yet the vast majority of African American students believe that study abroad does not have any relationship to their career." Many underrepresented students who can benefit from study abroad lack the information, resources, and support for study abroad that can motivate participation. For many of the institutions that have served these groups, including historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and Hispanic-serving institutions (HSIs), the challenges are significant. In California, for example, community colleges serve over 2.5 million students of which the majority are nontraditional students. Of that total, according to California Colleges for International Education (CCIE) Director Rosalind Raby, only about 3,800 students took part in study abroad programs over the past year. This reflects a participation rate of just over 1/100 of one percent. This is unacceptable. According to the American Association of Community Colleges (AACC), approximately half of all minority undergraduate students attend a community college (47 percent of African American students, 56 percent of Hispanic students, 48 percent of Asian/Pacific Islander students, and 57 percent of Native American students). For those students who do study abroad, effective orientation is critical for students' success. Very few (estimated at less than 50 of the more than 1,500 U.S. colleges and universities offering study abroad) U.S. colleges and universities provide a comprehensive pre-study-abroad for-credit orientation course. It is critical that students with a limited background in the languages and cultures of the world, as well as a limited understanding of the United States' role in the world, receive additional academic learning in order to take full advantage of their foreign experience. In addition to emphasizing academic study, it is critical to preparing students to live in another country and culture. PLATO Initiatives In 2004, the U.S. Department of Education awarded a FIPSE Comprehensive Program grant to the Center for Global Education at Loyola Marymount University, with project partners (listed below) to begin work on the Project for Learning Abroad, Training and Outreach (PLATO). More recently, the IFSA Foundation awarded the Center a grant to enhance project efforts. The

Under Water
Coyote08 replied to Jonnie Wilson's topic in Homemade Trail CameraI think the hard part would be keeping the water out. I remember someone had a camera out for ducks and the water rose up and over the cam. Water got inside the case. I've got a Olympus TG-5, not as a trail cam, and it has an underwater setting. You can buy a waterproof housing for it. So I'm not sure what the setting does. It would be neat to try.
Replacement for the Otter 3250 case
Coyote08 replied to kdornski's topic in Homemade Trail CameraWhen will your new build be done with one? Looks promising.
Flickr test
Coyote08 replied to kdornski's topic in Homemade Trail CameraI like Flickr. I have been using it for a year or 2. Photobucket was too slow. Its easy to grab links and even change the size of the picture you can upload.
Pentax W90 Solar Build
Coyote08 replied to Coyote08's topic in Homemade Trail CameraI updated the diagram. The camera externals are after the TP4056, I don't actually have the control board hooked up. So the box labeled Cam External is a 18650 battery in a protected holder that is the Cam power supply.
WV Photos from Pentax W90
Coyote08 posted a topic in Trail Camera Pictures & VideosThis new build set out for 4 months on a corn feeder. Unfortunately a month in, a racoon knocked the camera and pointed it down. I had the Pentax W90 set to ISO 400. This camera seems to take pretty good pics. The feeder is a 55 gal steel drum hung from a chain strapped between 2 trees and a boat winch to crank up and down. Hoping to keep bears off.Before knocked down After knocked down. I was impressed, even with the viv2800 firing the pics were still good at night. The cam was 3-4feet off the ground.
Coyote08 started following Pentax W90 Solar Build and WV Photos from Pentax W90
Pentax W90 Solar Build
Coyote08 posted a topic in Homemade Trail CameraI posted the hack for this camera a year ago. (http://www.hagshouse.com/forums/index.php?/topic/56295-pentax-w90/#comment-422449 ) I finally got around to putting a build together earlier this year and got it finished in time for a trip to our hunting place in WV back mid April this year. My brother in law went this weekend and pulled this camera for me. After 4 months and 783 pictures the batteries were still fully charged. Though mid May, a coon knocked the camera and it was facing down from then on. It still was taking pictures though. The setup is a Safari SMT with the regular programing set on Cam type 1. I have an older ones of Ralph's slave boards with a Viv 2800. I was given a 30W 18V solar panel. I reused a cam that I had an Olympus E620 DSLR build. I had ordered a 12V battery for a 4wheeler and got the wrong one, so I used that 12V battery. Here is a rough diagram of how I have things hooked up. I used a solar charge control ( https://www.bonanza.com/listings/CMP03-3A-12V-Charge-and-Discharge-Controller-Solar-Charge-Controller-Solar-Panel/477377079?st_id=58217574)I had a separate 3-AA power supply for the Safari board because I had that before and just didn't get around eliminating that. As you can see I used the hole from the DSLR camera and used some adhesive backed foam and that eliminated almost all the flash glare.Here is what the setup looked like in by back yard. I used these clips (http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-5-Kit-2-Pin-2-Way-Car-Waterproof-Electrical-Connector-Plug-Wire-AWG-Marine-/252416276772?hash=item3ac52eb924:g:TsUAAOSwcLxYDXta&vxp=mtr) to be able to connect the solar panel to the case. I mounted the solar panel about 15 ft. up in the tree hoping for more sunlight because I was down the north side of a hill. I put the cable from the solar panel in armor BX cable to protect it. I give warning about the next picture. I by no means tried to make this neat, lol. This was a get it done and in the box and ready to work.W90 insideEvern with the camera falling down, I was still happy with 783 pictures and still full battery through the summar with a solar panel in the woods. I'm sure it helps its a 30W panel. I'm thinking this would go a long time. With an 8 gig card I can get 3400 pics and I think I could put a 32gig card in the camera. To put this build together I didn't have alot in it because I already had the stuff or the solar build was free. The battery was $40-$50, but i couldn't return it. I got the camera free. The connector for solar panel, solar charge controller, TP4056, and the Buck convertor were probably around $30-$40. I already had the Safari and slave flash board on hand. So I think, if you dont mind a bigger case, using a solar charger to keep one battery charged and using that battery to power everything else will work. PS I'll be posting pics from the build in a diff post.
Card Reader
Coyote08 replied to king0581's topic in Homemade Trail CameraThis is what I have been using. I have used this for the Sony cards, micro SD and SD cards. Comes with the same USB cord that the sony cams take. https://www.amazon.com/eSecure-Reader-Digit...g/dp/B003CKC8W8
Kodak Zi8
Coyote08 posted a topic in New Camera Research & DevelopmentHas anyone messed with this camera. It does pics or video, but seems like would just be a video build. Not sure on IR. Not sure if it would be good. When cam powers on there's an option to start recording in WGA mode or selecting 720 or 1080, so kinda stinks it was remember that setting. Update: It does noe sty on 1080 hd setting
18650 6000mah
Coyote08 replied to Killet's topic in External Batteries & HoldersJust recently bought some 5000mah batteries and I did some discharge/charge cycles to get mah ratings, and they were around 500mah. I would expect the same results with yours. If they seem light, they are junk.
Solar External Power For H55
Coyote08 replied to ko4nrbs's topic in External Batteries & HoldersThey sell a solar charger like that on ebay that you put your own 18650s in. The 10000mah rating is a bunch of crap. I bought a kit and put 3 single 18650 holders in there, each had a protection circuit I added. Then I knew what the capacity one. You can fit 5 18650s in there if you connect the thing piece of metal to each end. I could only do that via soldering and didn't want to do that. If you did that, and actually had 5-2000mah 18650s, then you could get 10000mah. The solar panel would still take a long time to recharge the batteries, but I bet you could get a long run time out of 10000mah with even that small of a solar charger.

Cursive – "I Am Gemnini" – VÖ 24.02.2012 (Saddle Creek / Cargo Records)
We're very happy to report that CURSIVE has a new record! It's called "I Am Gemini", and it comes out February 24th!
"I Am Gemini" is the surreal and powerful musical tale of Cassius and Pollock, twin brothers separated at birth. One good and one evil, their unexpected reunion in a house that is not a home ignites a classic struggle for the soul, played out with a cast of supporting characters that includes a chorus of angels and devils, and twin sisters conjoined at the head.
Recorded in the summer/fall of 2011 at Omaha, NE's ARC Studios and mixed at Red Room in Seattle, WA with producer Matt Bayles (MASTODON, MINUS THE BEAR, ISIS), "I Am Gemini" marks the first time front man Tim Kasher, holding the completed story already in mind, wrote album lyrics in a linear fashion, in order, from song 1 to song 13. The result is thirteen singularly cohesive song chapters that blend effortlessly into one unique narrative.
The moody and playfully sinister "I Am Gemini" is CURSIVE's musically heaviest in years, with alternately muscular and angular guitars, pounding drums and driving bass. From the eerie introductory sounds of epic barnstormer "This House Alive" and the irresistibly catchy, insistent "The Sun And Moon", to the searing "Double Dead" and the split personality prog-pop of "Twin Dragon/Hello Skeleton", to the roaring, mournful closing track "Eulogy For No Name", the album is a dynamic, mind-bending, and imaginative ride.
CURSIVE is the longtime trio of Tim Kasher (vocals, guitar), Matt Maginn (bass), and Ted Stevens (guitar, vocals), with Patrick Newbery (keys) and Cully Symington (drums). "I Am Gemini" is the follow-up to 2009's critically praised "Mama, I'm Swollen" (Saddle Creek), which caught the attention of publications including Alternative Press, Billboard, Playboy, Rolling Stone, and Time Out New York, among others, and earned the band their network television debut on The Late Show with David Letterman
CURSIVE has released six full-length albums – including the heralded CURSIVE's "Domestica" (2000), "The Ugly Organ" (2003), and "Happy Hollow" (2006) – two EPs, a disc of rarities, and numerous singles since the band's 1995 inception.
The band is also known for their vital, magnetic live show, earning rave reviews from outlets including the Cleveland Scene's C-Note music blog ("[Tim Kasher's] effect on the crowd was chilling last night… CURSIVE was focused and on-spot, composed and gripping"), Nuvo Weekly ("…the five-piece slashed through a near-perfect set of songs from their last nine years of albums"), and the Orlando Sentinel's Soundboard blog ("…the band still knows how to rock on stage… [CURSIVE] thrashed away with an abandon that heightened the passion of Kasher's dense, emotionally charged wordplay.").

So, it's Friday.
And I haven't blogged in a week!
What up with that?
Well, dear friends - I haven't even had a bad week...it's just been...crazy? Without being especially busy? Weird stuff just keeps happening that just makes me look around and wonder, "HUH?"
This week alone I have been in a minor fender bender - MINOR, I promise, we are all ok. I was idling. That was the speed upon impact.
Also, my keys are currently locked in the car and I am waiting on husband to come rescue me.
He forgot his ID card yesterday morning, so couldn't get into work and had to turn around to drive home. His commute is around 35-40 minutes with traffic, so...that's fun.
Especially since he had to turn around and come to his preggo wife's rescue like an hour later when I was in said minor fender bender. (Two rescues this week - his office must think I am a nut case.)
I have gotten 25 weird phone calls from this 866 number that has other random complaints against it on the web. No one talks when you answer, if you don't answer, they stay on the line long enough to leave a voicemail of...nothing, and if you call back it is just some ambiguous company name with a full voicemail box so you can't leave a message. (I again registered for the do not call list...we shall see if this helps.)
Every store I have gone to this week has been OUT of the thing I came there for...except for the grocery store. You know, that would be really weird if they were out of everything, etc.
I punched a hole in our wall after tripping through a baby gate. Like, not violently...part of the gate put a hole in the wall when I knocked it out of place with my heavy pregnant self. I caught myself though, no worries.
Evelyn has alternately been the sweetest and saddest baby on the face of the planet. Mood swings. Teething. Poor baby.
The only way she would nap one day this week was clutching my circa 2006 iPod, which she was frustrated that she couldn't work because in her world everything is a touch screen.
And yeah, that's it.
It has just been a weird week.
Be back in full next week.
Evelyn Rae is 16 months old, I am 30 weeks along with Bump
...and Bump seems to be chugging along just fine and going ahead with his or her head right down in my cervix. Or at least it feels like that every time I try to move.

Hamstring Injury
- 8 Months ago
- 472
- 4.0
A hamstring injury occurs when you strain or pull one of your hamstring muscles- the group of muscles that run along the back of your thigh that allow you to bend your leg at the knee. During a hamstring strain, one or more of these muscles get stretched too far and sometimes the muscles might even start to tear. A person is more likely to get a hamstring strain during exercise that involves a lot of running, jumping or sudden stopping and starting.
Mild hamstring strains may not hurt too much, severe ones can be excruciating making it impossible to walk or even stand. Other symptoms of a hamstring strain include:
• Sudden and severe pain during exercise along with a popping and snapping feeling
• Tenderness
• Pain in lower buttocks and back of the thigh when walking, bending or straightening the leg
• Bruising or discoloration
Here are a few self help measures:
• Ice your leg to reduce the pain and swelling for about 20-30 minutes every three to four hours until the pain is gone.
• Rest the leg and avoid putting weight on the leg.
• Use an elastic bandage around the leg to keep down swelling.
• Elevate your leg by using a pillow whenever you're sitting or lying down.
Contact your doctor if you can't bear any weight on your injured leg and if you're unable to walk!

A recent report by Dr Allan Fels, former head of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) highlights the confusion that many people feel with respect to insurance.
The discussion paper, although referring to home and contents insurance, raises issues that can equally be applied to life insurance and other forms of personal insurance.
Lengthy quotation processes, policy documents exclusions and exclusions are often causes of confusion for those looking for personal insurance. Unfortunately, these frustrations often lead to people postponing their plans to organise personal insurance, or in some cases, abandon them altogether – despite the original drivers that lead to their initial search for insurance remaining unchanged.
As quoted on in a recent ABC News article, one Melbourne resident sought advice from an Insurance Broker following frustration with the quotation process.
"Even for someone like me who has a fair tolerance for these things it can be hours and it just gets to a point where you say enough, it's just very time consuming."
Insurance Does Not Have To Be Confusing
At Make A Difference Insurance, we constantly see people who are frustrated with the lack of transparency and seemingly endless paperwork involved with arranging personal insurance. People who have been enticed by the television advertising of many insurers who promise a simple process that turns out to be anything but simple.
An experienced Insurance Broker can help simplify what for many is a difficult and confronting topic – after all, no one wants to face the prospect of ill health, accident or even death.
Your Insurance Broker Can Help
As an Insurance Broker, it is our role to guide you through the insurance process – to help you find the insurance that best suits your personal situation, taking into account your needs and wants, your personal and financial situation and of course, your budget.
We work with a number of Insurance Companies and act as your advocate to ensure the best solution for you, regardless of your age, health or personal circumstance.
Our Role Does Not End When You Sign On The Dotted Line
The role of the Insurance Broker does not end with your signature on a policy. Our Advocacy role carries on for as long as you have a policy. Should your situation change – whether you buy a home, start a family or retire, we can help you modify your policy to suit your changed circumstances.

by Bob Hazlett
Remember the Marlboro Man? How about the billboard over Times Square with the GI blowing smoke rings? Or the end of Ralph Bellamy's TV shows where he proudly listed all the VA Hospitals that received free Camel cigarettes during the week just passed?
Then there was James Dean with a pack of cigarettes rolled in the sleeve of his T-shirt. There were movie-star ads implying that just smoking their brand would get them to jump into bed with you. Soon ads with a handsome doctor or dentist encouraged you to light up. It was so cool to smoke. But almost all that was for cigarettes – very little for cigars and pipe tobacco, and just about nothing for chewing tobacco or snuff.
A rebellion began, I'm not sure when, but it began slowly. First, we saw 'non-smoking' sections in public establishments. Tobacco companies set up phony research institutes with official government sounding names to produce "real medical evidence" that smoking caused no harm to your health. At some time, signs switched to 'smoking sections' then to 'smoke-free' facilities. I remember cigarettes selling for a quarter a pack and freely displayed near the cash register for quick sale. Now they sell for upwards of $50 per carton and are kept under lock and key.
I was a smoker in those days, fully convinced that one more drag on that cancer stick would propel me from my hum drum existence to that exciting manly life lived by the Marlboro Man. My one pack a day habit lasted about twenty years, in two stints of ten years each. I ended the first stint by withdrawal. Slowly reducing the number of cigarettes per day until I got down to one. I couldn't kick that last smoke – the one with the cup of coffee after dinner. That took a long time. Finally substituting a cigar for that cigarette did it.
My second addiction started with pipe smoking at the office and morphed back into cigarettes. Why? By this time, I was fully aware of the advertisement's hypocrisy and this oft-repeated little ditty:
"Tobacco is a filthy weed,
that from the devil doth proceed.
It stains your hands and burns your clothes,
and makes a chimney of your nose."
Cigarettes just plain tasted so good Period!
I ended that journey over forty years ago quite by accident. A bout of "upper respiratory distress" became pneumonia and hospitalized me for two weeks. When I came out, I had no desire to smoke and haven't to this day. That still amazes me.
I can reflect on those years, now as a non-smoker, and apologize to those non-smokers who quietly tolerated my smoking for twenty years. The smoke-filled air, ashes everywhere, cigarette burns on clothes and furniture, the hacking cough and yellow teeth, and cigarette butts littering the landscape. I'm sorry I contributed to that.
Recently, I picked up a book titled "Spanish Cedar" by an acquaintance of mine Kit Adams. It is a book of poetry about the 'cigar experience.' Kit told me the story of the book's creation and his book sales success at local cigar lounges. I admitted no knowledge of the term "cigar lounge." Kit filled me in and gave me some names and addresses. Later, I mentioned them to my son. He knew all about them.
The idea of sitting in an overstuffed leather chair smoking a good cigar and sipping a glass of wine or brandy while discussing all things great and small in a small group of cigar snobs sounds like something a man should do … at least once.
So, one recent evening, I did. There is definitely a lot to the total "cigar experience." Just walking into the shop was mind-boggling. Like everything else, there was a whole new vocabulary to learn. Different shapes, sizes, styles, origins, and flavors seemed to be never-ending.
Shop to the front, lounge to the rear. As you would guess, the lounge was dominated by several big screen TVs, and clusters of people gathered to share the evening. I was surprised by the number of women present.
I let the waitress suggest a cigar and a craft beer, then switched into people watching mode and spent over an hour taking it all in. I'll try this again.
Learning the new language, visiting the several shops in my area, and discovering which cigars I like and which I don't will be an adventure. Then maybe I can share an experience with my son when we get together again.

Phonics Consonant Letters h-hw-w-zh-z-y Photo Battleship Game-ESL Fun Games
Try out our Phonics Consonant Letters h-hw-w-zh-z-y Photo Battleship Game.
How to Play It:
English Battleship is a game for two players. Players try to guess the location of five ships their opponent has hidden on a grid.
Players take turns calling out a row and column, attempting to name a square containing their opponent's ships. The goal is to sink all of your opponent's ships by correctly guessing their location.
Each player gets a game sheet with two grids and five ships. There is one length 5 ship, one length 4 ship, two length 3 ships and one length 2 ship. Students secretly place their ships on the lower grid. Each ship must be placed horizontally or vertically (not diagonally) across grid spaces. Ships must not hang over the grid. Ships can touch each other, but can't both be on the same space.
Players take turns firing a shot to attack enemy ships. On a turn, students will call out a letter and a number of a row and column on the grid. Their opponent checks that space on their lower grid, and says "miss" if there are no ships there, or "hit" if they guessed a space that contained a ship.
How to Score It:
Students will mark their guesses on their upper grid, with an "X" for misses and a check mark for hits, to keep track. If a student "hits" an opponent's ship, their opponent must fill in the blanks, use photos or written prompts to practice the target language. If they don't succeed they lose their next turn.
When a ship is hit, students will put a check mark on that ship on their lower grid at the location of the hit. Whenever a ship has all of its length spaces checked off they must announce to their opponent that he/she has sunk their ship. The first player to sink all of their opponent's ships wins.
Ships are included on page 2.
Answer Key Included.

Become a VFX specialist
Visual Effects Courses
Acquiring a job in visual effects is a common goal for those who are interested in design and computer generated imagery. A special effects technician, or VFX specialist, is also a highly sought-after job. It involves producing physical effects through pyrotechnics, and other visual graphics to help create a specific illusion in a film production.
Where to Start
Many companies who are utilising a VFX specialist for a particular job will not require you to have a degree. Instead, they will want to see proof of previous experience and what you are capable of achieving. However, a degree showing that you are skilled in a particular area, such as design, will help give you leverage when competing for particular assignments. It is important to network and make contacts in the visual effects industry. Many companies will not advertise jobs openly.
When achieving a permanent job with a visual effects agency, they typically employ based on a ladder system. In other words, when you first get hired, you will work as a technician for 2 years, or until you have proven your skills. This is often called an internship/apprenticeship. However, if you are employed on a contract basis, or as a freelance VFX specialist, then you will have more options as far as your overall requirements.
There are certain skills that need to be present when becoming a VFX specialist. During the learning process, an educational background in drawing, painting and electronic components is very important in order to perform the job properly. The design skills come into play during areas of the job that involve computer generated backgrounds or characters. In this case, knowledge of specific software is important.
Most video editors will also be required to maintain the storyline in their heads, even while they are editing scenes that may not be in sequence. You may also need to work with numerous other production staff, including other editors.
Equipment and Software
If you are going to ensure you get the best possible job, it is important to make sure that you have the right experience with the software and the equipment necessary to edit video. The more experience you have, the greater your chances will be when you hit the job market looking for work.
Formulating a portfolio with show reels of previous work is a step you should take first. Many entrants come from a variety of different fields, such as animation, engineering, computer science, and industrial design. A company will typically look at a person's practical skills, instead of an educational background.
Get Involved
Networking and doing numerous apprenticeship/internship jobs can be a great way to have your foot in the door when you start looking for a formal position. The better you were in those positions, the greater the chance is that you will have a leg up when it comes time to apply for a full time job.
Becoming a video production specialist requires knowledge of editing software and equipment; it requires good networking and people skills to handle the team of people that generally accompany a production. You need to be able to work with everyone, from the director to the staff. This is a rewarding, productive, exciting career with advancing opportunities. Video production runs into movies, television, and the internet. Each has its own set of rules and methods. Additionally, you will get to meet many exciting and interesting people every day as part of your daily routine.
Own It
It is important that a VFX specialist have certain characteristics or qualities to prepare them for the type of work they will encounter. A person who is naturally creative and imaginative is very successful in the VFX industry, and additional knowledge about technical processes and computer technology is vital. Other personal characteristics include the ability to work in a team setting and the ability to communicate successfully and professionally. For a freelance VFX specialist, the above mentioned qualities are true, but it is also extremely important that they have organizational skills and self-motivation to help excel in the industry.

I began learning and practice MFC three months ago. The first month was the toughest because I was down right lost after reading the first nine chapters from Prosise's book. However, everything changed after I first studied from Richand Jones' introduction to MFC. Everything Prosise discusses became clear and only now do I begin to appreciate the information Prosise offers in his book.
Next, I would like to move on to more specific tools i.e. networking or COM. I have no experience with COM and networking programming using C++. My ultimately goal, however, is to design and implement network programs such as an ftp server (my dream).
What is there after MFC? I am an MFC beginner, but I have confident I can work with the tools MFC offers relatively well.
I am very interested in networking programming, but COM is something that is quite popular. I saw good review on C++ Networking Programming Volumn 1 by Douglas C. Schmidt, Stephen D. Huston. What do you recommend? As for COM, I am not sure where to start. Nonetheless, COM is something I want to consider, if not now, then after networking.

What is pet owner insurance
What is pet owner insurance and Why should you have it.
When you mention pet insurance most people think – dog, cat, and vet bills. Pet owner insurance covers almost any pet. We say almost because although it is unlikely that there is an animal that cannot be insured, there will be some cases where there will be exclusions in a policy or specific cover will be just too expensive rendering the animal uninsurable to that owner.
What pet owner insurance covers
When you insure your pet, you insure for a lot more than illness. Animals can have accidents too, get into trouble with the law and disappear without a trace. Some insurers will help with the costs of tracing a lost or stolen pet. There are also some things that will be covered by pet insurance for a small enhancement of the premium. This includes accidental damage not only to your own possessions, but also to those belonging to someone else.
Illness cover
Animals like people get sick and there are very few animals that get through life without getting ill at least once. This is comfortably the single greatest reason why anyone insures their pet. When taking out a policy it is important to remember that vet bills can escalate very quickly into thousands of pounds. The issues that people experience with standard cover is the value of the cover rather than what it covers. With a policy that covers £500 per illness, you will run out of cover quite quickly if the pet requires emergency surgery and multiple follow up medications treatments as well as bloodwork and other tests.
Because you can mix and match the options you would like to include with your insurance policy, it is advisable to insure for the highest cover you can afford.
Liability Insurance
This insurance comes as standard with most policies and will cover your pet if the cause damage or injury to a third party or their possessions. While you may like to believe that your precious dog would never bite the postman or plumber, when animals are startled their reactions can be unpredictable. There is also always the risk that you may be sued and this is where this cover is critically important.
Accident insurance
Every now and then a pet does something unexpected. A dog may suddenly run into the street in front of oncoming traffic, or a cat may use up one of their nine lives dodging a delivery van in your driveway. Your hamster may even injure himself by getting his head stuck inside his exercise apparatus. Pet insurance will usually cover accidents in a separate clause. This means that accident cover does not deplete the cover enjoyed under illness cover. Always check to ensure whether this is funded separately.
Loss or theft
If your pet becomes lost or is stolen and after much heartache and searching your pet can't be found many policies will pay out a fixed amount. Some policies will pay out the cost of acquiring the pet, but in some cases the cover will pay out a specified figure from the policy that determines the approximate replacement value.
The cost of publishing the loss of your pet to find or retrieve it is offered in some policies. This cover is separate the actual cover for the loss and is meant to be used as a recovery effort. Apart from printing poster and hunting from vet to vet, you may wish to place an advert in a local, regional or national newspaper. This cover is very useful if you own a popular breed or your dog is nervous when out and likely to run away on opportunity.
Understanding your policy
Pets, like people are unique. They have different needs and these needs will change as they get older. When you insure your pet, you will need to think about more than simply their immediate insurance needs. Consider whether the policy is going to be diffident to cover their needs should they develop a long term illness and when they get old. Be sure to understand what the policy covers. If the illness cover is £3000, is that an annual limit for any illness or the annual limit with each illness covered to a limit of £1000? The two are very different types of cover.
Will the insurance cover chronic illness if cover takes place after the pet has been insured? Pets also suffer from illnesses such as diabetes, epilepsy and heart conditions. When treatment is managed they can live long and productive lives.
There are a variety of policies available and different insurers will use different criteria to determine the premium. The real question you should ask yourself is whether for less than the cost of a cup of coffee every week is it worth not insuring your beloved companion.

Local leaders are the backbone to community development. The six communities we visited with Rural Partners- Troy, Choteau, Lincoln, Glendive, Glasgow, and Harlowton- all had local leaders, whether local officials, nonprofit organizations, volunteer community groups, or citizens, who are stepping up to make projects happen and to help make their communities better. There are many other communities across our state where leaders are stepping up to make their communities a better place to live, work, and play.
Local leadership is the foundation to economic and community development, and increasing and strengthening local leadership capacity is critical to the vitality of Montana's small towns. We are working with state-wide partners on efforts to support and increase local leadership capacity.

Malaysian college students jailed for secretly burying dead baby
PETALING JAYA: A couple in Malaysia were sentenced to 12 months' jail on Friday (Jan 12) for concealing the birth of their premature baby daughter by burying the body after she died.
Magistrate Zaki Asyraf Zubir sentenced Faizal Said, 20, and Nur Fitri Iryani Sani, 19, after they pleaded guilty to the charge and ordered the couple to serve their jail terms immediately.
The couple, who are private college students, cried after the magistrate meted out the sentence, reported the New Straits Times.
The duo were jointly charged with deliberately concealing the birth of their newborn baby girl by burying the body at a house in Kelana Jaya on Aug 23 last year.
They were charged under Section 318 of the Penal Code which provides for a jail term of up to two years or a fine, or both.
The two accused, who were not represented, pleaded for a minimum jail sentence on grounds that they were from poor families and wanted to continue their studies.
They said the baby was born prematurely and they were not aware that what they did was wrong in the eyes of the law.
However, deputy public prosecutor Fazeedah Faik asked for a custodial sentence on the duo as their actions had caused the baby's death.
"The picture shows the baby in perfect condition and the two accused should have sought medical attention or notified the authorities," he said.
According to the facts of the case, Nur Fitri went to the toilet to give birth normally after complaining of abdominal pain to Faizal.
But the baby subsequently fell to the floor with her fingers still moving.
Nur Fitri found the baby to be lifeless after the fall and informed Faizal who then took the body out of the apartment.
During her pregnancy, Nur Fitri had not gone for any medical examination, despite knowing she was pregnant.

Tina Roth Eisenberg is a Swiss designer based in Brooklyn, New York. She founded and runs a global monthly lecture series called CreativeMornings; she co-created a to-do app called TeuxDeux; she is the founder of Tattly, a design temporary tattoo shop; and she founded and run a co-working space called FRIENDS. But perhaps her greatest accomplishment was starting Swiss Miss Design Blog and Studios.
For years, she played the role of a Traditional Designer. But then she had her first child, a little girl, and she realized she wasn't fulfilling her purpose and true calling in life. Almost in that moment, she decided to quickly shift gears and dive headfirst into a number of "labor of loves," where she switched hats to become a serial entrepreneur focused on diving headfirst into projects that really mattered to her.
Each of these projects was proximately focused on something closely related to her heart. As she puts it: "I have a rule: If I keep complaining about something, I either do something about it or let it go." And Tina has made that mantra an integral part of her life. Each of her endeavors is fueled by the need to solve a very specific problem. This is an inspiring attitude to have. It is not about serving herself, it is about empowering others to embody the constant and important principles of their lives.
In her regular interviews with magazines and blogs, Tina shows us fellow women how to be strong, empowered, and crucial leaders in this world. Some of my favorite pieces of advice she shares includes:
You can either start complaining and feeling sorry for yourself or you can channel all of that frustration into how can we look at this from a different angle and make it to something good.
I'm trying to have really good people in my life: I know I fill them up and they fill me up and we are happy for each other's successes.
I do not want to portray that I have it completely together.
I do have a routine, but I would never say I would stick to it forever – I don't like to be confined by routines that are too rigid.Tina Roth Eisenberg
Each of these thoughtful statements embodies valuable lessons for each of us to live by. They aren't blow-you-away-and-reinvent-your-very-existence type of guidance, which actually makes them even more meaningful. They are insightful, thoughtful, and cause us each to pause and inventory what we are doing and how we are doing it.
My favorite piece of subtle guidance is that we don't have to portray we have it all together and figured it out. It is perfectly natural to be natural. And we all have our own challenges that cause us pause, frazzle us at times, and shows the outside world that we are strong but can be affected by what occurs around us —just like any other human being around.

French Masterpieces
French Masterpieces offers a sensual experience of brushstrokes and colours. The exhibition presents works from the 19th century. A period when art moves from being idealised, with a wealth of detail, to the use of a more free, often experimental expression.
The French masterpieces all display technical brilliance, new motifs, combinations of colours and compositions. Each work is representative of the individual artist's style and expression. They capture the artists' aesthetic, heralding new ideas in art and stand out as unparalleled masterpieces. Here, then, are Monet, Rousseau, Courbet, Cézanne, Degas and Gauguin at their best!
New Thinking and New Departures
The 19th century was epoch-making in French art. At the beginning of the century, the French art academy, the Académie des Beaux-Arts, and the annual Salon Exhibition, more or less determined the official art of the period. However, from the 1850s onwards there were new currents and ideas. The changing political climate was of considerable significance for the circumstances in which art found itself. With the unofficial exhibition venues in the 1860s and the First Impressionist Exhibition in 1874, new possibilities for artists arose.
Various artistic ideals circled around each other at this time. Sublime and idealised beauty, realism in the depiction of peasant life, the flickering of light and the significance of forms. The works exhibit all technical superiority as well as innovative designs and compositions.
A New Acquisition
For the first time we are presenting The Rock Oak by Théodore Rousseau, which the Glyptotek has acquired through generous support from the Ny Carlsberg Foundation.
From the very start of Rousseau's career, trees played a predominant main role, and The Rock Oak is one of the most colour-suffused intense paintings of the motif with its dense, dabbed brushstrokes. This painting of ancient, contorted oak trees standing amongst moss-covered rocks, was, in 1861, the only picture Rousseau submitted to the Salon.
See the exciting activities and events, The Glyptotek has to offer. Please note, the events in Danish will not be presented here. Go to the Danish version of the homepage to see all events.
Enjoy a delicious lunch at "Picnic" overlooking the Glyptotek's beautiful Winter Garden.
Special Exhibition
"The Road to Palmyra" takes the Glyptotek's unparalleled collection of ancient tomb sculptures from the city as its point of departure.

Saffuri off to arm wrestling champs
HERVEY Bay's Sam Saffuri will be alone when he marches on to the world stage this week to represent Australia for the third time in the 2011 World Arm Wrestling Championships in Kazakhstan.
The Australian champion is aiming to be number one across four days of competitions, but not before a weigh-in, sign on and an Olympic-like ceremony that has every country march beneath their flag in to the stadium.
Mr Saffuri is once again the only Australian competitor in the championships and will be competing against countries such as the United States, which frequently has more than 50 competitors.
It may be the last year that he competes as he debates whether to go to next year's championships but he will be comforted by the fact that this year is the last time Australia will have only one competitor.
At least five men have signed up to compete in the 2012 competition being held in Brazil after Mr Saffuri said many Australian competitors felt like they could not compete at an international level.
Mr Saffuri, who runs an eco-friendly developing company Monopoly Designs, flew into Sydney on Saturday as a guest at the New South Wales Arm Wrestling Championships before flying out to Kazakhstan on that same night.
He weighs in at 80kg but frequently beats men who weigh up to 140kg.
Mr Saffuri took out both his own weight category and the overall award at the Australian Arm Wrestling Championships earlier this year.
He hopes to increase his ranking from number eight on his left arm and number 10 in the world on his right arm this week but said the outcome was unpredictable.
"There are always surprises," he said.
The championships start today in Almaty and continue until December 4.

Alana Thompson to Star in Toddlers & Tiaras Spinoffby Hilton Hater at .
We really wish we were making this up.
But Alana Thompson - a six-year old contestant on Toddlers & Tiaras known as "Honey Boo Boo" - has landed her very own reality show. It will be titled Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and it will consist of six half-hour episodes that provide "an inside look into Alana's world," according to a TLC network statement.
The statement goes on to say that viewers will learn how Thompson "is more than just a Go-Go Juice-drinking beauty queen" and that "when she's not chasing after crowns, Alana's with her family in rural Georgia doing what her family does best: four-wheeling through mud pits and picking up road kill for the family cookout."
Here Comes Honey Boo Boo will also feature Thompson's stay-at-home mom, June Shannon, along with her father, Sugar Bear, and sisters Lauryn "Pumpkin," Jessica "Chubbs," and Anna "Chickadee." Really. That's how they are listed in the press release.
We doubt Vanessa Williams will tune in for this spinoff, but will you?

Title: The Wolf of Oren-Yaro
Author: K.S. Villoso
Publisher: Orbit Books
Publication date: 18 February 2020
Genres: Adult, Fantasy
A queen of a divided land must unite her people, even if they hate her, even if it means stopping a ruin that she helped create. A debut epic fantasy from an exciting new voice.
"I murdered a man and made my husband leave the night before they crowned me."
Born under the crumbling towers of Oren-yaro, Queen Talyien was the shining jewel and legacy of the bloody War of the Wolves that nearly tore her nation apart. Her upcoming marriage to the son of her father's rival heralds peaceful days to come.
But his sudden departure before their reign begins fractures the kingdom beyond repair.
Years later, Talyien receives a message, urging her to attend a meeting across the sea. It's meant to be an effort at reconciliation, but an assassination attempt leaves the queen stranded and desperate to survive in a dangerous land. With no idea who she can trust, she's on her own as she struggles to fight her way home.
Hello, I previously announced that I'm on a semi-blogging hiatus, except for planned posts. Still on hiatus (I am SO ready to graduate!!) but please enjoy my review for The Wolf of Oren-Yaro! I don't feel like it's one of my best review but if I still feel terrible about it after graduation, I do intent to pick this book up again before the release of its sequel. (I read the book and wrote this review in 2019)
As always, thank you to Shealea for all your hard work at Caffeine Book Tours. Please check the link after the review to see what everyone else thought of the book!
*I received a finished copy via Caffeine Book Tours in return for an honest review. This in no way affected my opinion of the book.*
The Wolf of Oren-Yaro follows Talyien, the Dragonlord of Jin-Sayeng, five years after her husband left her to rule over their already divided people. Issues and disagreements have been piling up for years, and the generals surrounding her are watching her every move. To keep the peace, she agrees to leave her land to the foreign city of Anzhao for peace talks with her estranged husband. Already out of her depth, she finds herself on the run when the negotiations go awry. Alone, in a nation unfamiliar to her, Talyien must survive the unknown if she wishes to return home.
I'll admit it; I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into when I decided to apply to join this blog tour. But I'm delighted I did. Oren-Yaro is a staggering journey of survival. From story to characters, to overall setting, this book was a unique read. Villoso delivers on what she sets out to achieve, and while I found myself a little overwhelmed by the world, the focus of this story wasn't something I could pinpoint in certain moments, but I liked it like that. Which sounds very weird since, as a reader, I like having some awareness of where the story could go as I'm reading, but honestly, I flew through this book so quickly, I didn't even care. This book was a wild ride, so much was happening; it all didn't settle in until I reached the very last page.Continue reading "[Blog Tour] The Wolf of Oren-Yaro #HailTheBitchQueen"

Mr Cameron believes that these are countries with whom Britain should do far more business, but with previous plans, like doubling trade with India between 2010 and 2015, failing, what makes this trip any different?
India is emerging as the strongest economy out of the Bric nations, Brazil, Russia, India and China, and is growing at 7% per year.
Earlier this year the UK Trade and Investment (UKTI) released a report confirming that India is now the third-largest source of foreign direct investment into the UK, which increased to 64% in 2014. The UK India Business Council estimated that the total value of Indian investment in the UK totalled at £1.89 billion by the end of 2014s financial year, and 110,000 people are now employed by Indian companies.
Talking to the BBC, Alpesh Patel of Praefinium Partners, said "that the ease of doing business in the UK, as well as the English language and familiarity with UK institutions, also makes the UK an attractive proposition for Indian investors." But this works both ways, by 2015 the UK had invested £14.5 billion in India according to CBI, making the UK the largest foreign investor.
With Mr Modi's trip dubbed a success, more investment in the UK can only be a good thing. But should UK based companies now look outside of the EU, to countries like India, if they want to grow their business internationally?

Researchers may have discovered why women fall for jerks.
A study from the University of Texas at San Antonio has found hormones produced near ovulation may influence women to pursue long-term relationships with bad boys.
"Previous research has shown in the week near ovulation women become attracted to sexy, rebellious and handsome men like George Clooney or James Bond. But until now it was unclear why women would ever think it's wise to pursue long-term relationships with these kinds of men," said Kristina Durante, assistant professor of marketing.
In the first of two studies, 33 women near ovulation that viewed online dating profiles of reliable men and sexy men thought the latter would contribute more to domestic duties, such as caring for the baby, cooking and doing chores.
"Under the hormonal influence of ovulation, women delude themselves into thinking that the sexy bad boys will become devoted partners and better dads," said Durante.
"When looking at the sexy cad through ovulation goggles, Mr. Wrong looked exactly like Mr. Right."
In the second study, 21 women interacted with male actors who played the roles of sexy cad and reliable dad during periods of both high and low fertility. Again, researchers discovered the women near ovulation thought the hunks would be better father figures -- if those men were their partner.
The study was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

My mom and I recently went to the Miami Swim Show to do the Spring/2018 buy for Bigley's Beach House. We decided to stay at the Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort. I've been there to eat and hang out by the pool a couple times before, however this was the first time I had the opportunity to actually stay there. We stayed there for four nights, and it was absolute paradise.
I'm currently in the process of my planning my wedding, and my fiancé and I both liked the idea of having it at Margaritaville. Therefore, my mom and I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to meet with the wedding planner and check out the venue. To say I fell in love is an understatement.
Margaritaville is inspired by the lyrics and lifestyle of singer/songwriter, Jimmy Buffet. It's an extremely "chill" atmosphere, surrounded by island vibes. The decor and design of the resort is absolutely stunning. When I explain it to people I use the phrase "coastal chic". I can't even put into words how impressive the detail was that they put into every little thing. Not to mention how friendly and helpful all of the employees were. I was truly amazed. My fiancées dad is actually the executive chef there, and he went above and beyond to make our stay one that we will definitely never forget.
Considering the majority of our guests will be travelling from up north, we wanted to find a venue that would provide them with lots to do, as most people will be making a vacation out of it. Margaritaville is not only located right on Hollywood Beach, (in Hollywood, Florida), the intercoastal waterway is directly across the street. There are five different restaurants located right at the resort (the food is AMAZING), and numerous more just a short walk away, along the Hollywood boardwalk. They also provide a huge variety of entertainment. Not only do they have multiple pools to hang out at (even one with a water slide 😋), they often have live bands playing at various locations throughout the resort. On top of that, they have a FlowRider surfing simulator (which is awesome for kids), and stand up paddle board and jetski rentals! There's literally always something to do there, and its in a very central location, making it very convenient to explore the area.
I truly had the most amazing experience there. Needless to say, we WILL be having our wedding there, and I'm so excited to officially start the planning.

The Codes of Gender: Identity and Performance in Pop Culture
The main theme of The Codes of Gender is "commercial realism." As explained by the narrator of this film, Sut Jhally, Professor of Communication at the University of Massachusetts, a code of gender has to be understood as a shorthand language, a set of rules and behaviors. This is how Jhally analyzes the ways in which both women and men are portrayed in advertisements and on the covers of glossy magazines.
The film is based on the works of the Canadian social anthropologist Erving Goffman, who was born in Alberta in 1922. His greatest contribution to social theory and to gender representation was the analysis of visual communication between spectators, the subjects of their attention and how attitudes about gender are shaped by culture and society.
The film starts with an explanation of the difference between biological sex identity and constructed gender identity, which leads to the process of contrasting these identities in magazine advertising for commercial films. Gender expressions on magazine covers are skillfully manipulated to reflect the identity of women and men– not as they are, but how they should be, according to a societal norm. The women in the advertisements are posed in awkward positions. They lie down with their heads tilted off balance, stand on one leg, or kneel to suggest powerlessness, submission and dependence. Women become sexualized and accepting of their helplessness, embodying both men's desire and subordination to them. In contrast, men are portrayed as active. Their poses suggest power, strength, and control.
As an example, Professor Jhally uses a clip from the Seinfield TV series that shows the lead character dating an attractive woman with hands that are big, rough, and strong, like the 'normal' hands of a man. Jerry Seinfield is put off by the image and loses interest in the woman.
A second example is Danica Patrick, an American auto racing driver, who is also an athlete and therefore does not fit with the stereotypical image of 'natural' femininity. But Patrick is portrayed on the magazine covers in the same way as other women. She lies down, ready to be gazed at–weak and submissive. Paul Marciano, founder of Guess, is portrayed as selecting images of passive women for Guess advertisements, as if he was making a statement that 'women should know their place.'
Another striking feature of the visual images is the association of women with childhood. As though they never left this part of their lives behind, in commercials women are frequently portrayed as childlike, with fingers in their mouths. Women's posture with men is that of father and daughter: constantly hiding behind men, snuggling with men for protection, or resting their heads on men's arms in sweet and helpless positions. Men, on the contrary, are shown in straight posture, muscular and strong, and project a hyper-masculine image of 'accepted normality'.
The Codes of Gender will be of interest to all who question the visual images of what is deemed natural and normal. The film is well-made and presented, and it serves as a fitting tribute to Goffman (who died in Philadelphia in 1982). His work was underestimated when he was alive, but his contributions to 'the codes of gender' are as equally valid today as they were thirty years ago.
I recall reading - I think in an old sociology class - that gender (and race) are often presented in 'shorthand,' which equates to gross stereotypes, since writers and producers don't feel they have the time to sketch complex characters and must rely on the 'white hat/black hat' model. :(

The sharing economy faces concerns about discrimination against consumers based on gender, race or religion.
Media have reported that African-Americans were refused Airbnb reservations. A recent study by two researchers published by Harvard Business School found that access in the sharing economy was not equitable due to racial discrimination and The Guardian reported discrimination by users of the Uber platform.
But such problems of discrimination are old problems surfacing in new contexts. Airbnb states in its Terms of Service that it does not tolerate "discrimination, bigotry, racism, hatred, harassment, or harm against any individual or group". Although no one can legitimately blame the sharing economy as a space for discrimination, discrimination is obviously a problem that businesses and individuals in the sharing economy must seriously address.
It is obvious that despite the important strides made in the sharing economy, it is also fraught with many challenges.
Can you think of other challenges that the sharing economy has that have not been mentioned here?
Post your thoughts to the Comments area below. Comment on other learner posts and offer some ideas that can address these challenges.

The Legislature has been in special session for ten days, and held a half dozen budget hearings. On the other issues lawmakers have been called back for — Medicaid expansion and a sexual abuse prevention program — there have been zero meetings. The special session has mainly been characterized by gridlock. APRN's Alexandra Gutierrez looks at one way to break it.
If you've been watching the Legislature the past few weeks, things have been less West Wing and more Twilight Zone.
With the gridlock between the Republican majority and Democratic minority, the legislative branch and the executive branch, little has been accomplished. The same questions get asked on the state of the budget, and the same answers are given.
"I can't say I'm an insider and know what's going on, but as far as the public is aware, they're not doing anything to break the impasse," says attorney Douglas Mertz.
Mertz is a mediator with an office just a block away from the Capitol building ("It's within shouting distance"). Mertz has been following the legislative session, and wondering why lawmakers have not reached a deal to close out their work.
"They're ripe for some kind of intervention, like public policy mediation," says Mertz.
While negotiation meetings have taken place between legislative leaders and the governor, there has not been a formal structure with a clear, mutually agreeable path to a resolution.
Mertz says there could be some merit in bringing in a third party to help guide the key players. And there's precedent.
"Things have been done in other states," says Mertz. "In Illinois, for instance, a few years ago they had a big issue that the legislature found intractable about telecommunications policy."
So, they brought an outsider in to mediate between the stakeholders and come up with a solution.
"The legislature enacted it almost unanimously," says Mertz. "It was a real turnaround."
Mertz says if he were mediating, he would get the leaders of the Republican majority and the Democratic minority in the same room, with plans to bring in the governor's office at a later point. He would lay out some parameters.
"Well, one of the ground rules would have to be: Stop blaming the other guys," says Mertz.
As in, no attacks via news releases or press conferences, and no Twitter bashing. The idea would be to focus on the policies instead of the politics.
"Break down all the big issues into small discrete issues, get them to think about what are the blockages here, and how we can get around them," says Mertz. "Can we engage in some blue-sky thinking about different types of resolutions that we haven't thought of before?"
Mertz would also ask them to consider the costs of not reaching an agreement.
In this case, those costs involve the literal expenses of keeping the Legislature operating, which can be as high as $30,000 for each day of special session. There's the risk of government shutdown and damaging Alaska's credit rating, if an agreement to fund state government for a whole year cannot be reached.
With Medicaid expansion, Mertz says there's the loss of federal dollars that would pay for the program right now, as well as the human cost of poor people not getting health insurance.
Mertz has a few other ideas, if legislators are curious.
"I don't know that I'm the right person," Mertz says with a laugh. "But if I can help out, I'd certainly be happy to."
And as far as his rates?
"They can afford me," Mertz chuckles. "Don't worry about it."
Mertz says the Legislature could ask the state's chief justice to appoint a mediator, if they're looking for a neutral party. But he thinks some sort of conflict resolution could be valuable at this point — after all, it's almost always cheaper than the alternative.

$3 Gas: Does Your State Have It Yet?
For the cheapest gas, fill up in the Palmetto State.
Average gas prices in the U.S. fell to $3.03 a gallon on Tuesday and stood below the $3 mark at more than half of gas stations, according to auto club AAA.
Drivers in South Carolina have enjoyed gas below $3 for a little longer than the rest of us.
