Aquatic is the third album by Australian improvised music trio The Necks released on the Fish of Milk label in 1994 and reissued on the Carpet Bomb label in the US in 1999. The album features two tracks, both titled "Aquatic", performed by Chris Abrahams, Lloyd Swanton and Tony Buck with the addition of Steve Wishart playing hurdy-gurdy on the second. The Wire review described the album as "Real splendour...a hugely mature album, a rare spark of brilliance...a marvel".
The Empire ships were a series of ships in the service of the British Government. Their names were all prefixed with "Empire". Mostly they were used during World War II by the Ministry of War Transport (MoWT), who owned the ships but contracted out their management to various shipping lines. Some ships requisitioned during the Suez Crisis were also given the Empire prefix. They were acquired from a number of sources. Many were built for the MoWT, others obtained from the USA, still others were captured or seized from enemy powers.
Empire Sailor was a 6,068 GRT cargo ship which was built by Stabilimento Technico Triestino, Trieste. Completed in 1926 as Cellina for Società Italia di Navigazione, Genoa. Seized as a war prize on 10 June 1940 at Gibraltar. To MoWT and renamed Empire Sailor. Torpedoed on 21 November 1942 and sunk by U-518 at 43°55′N 55°12′W / 43.917°N 55.200°W / 43.917; -55.200 while a member of Convoy ON 145.
Dolphin is a fictional character, a superheroine in the DC Comics universe. Created by writer-artist Jay Scott Pike, she debuted in Showcase #79 (Dec. 1968).
Dolphin was a very young girl when she fell overboard from a cruise ship (Secret Origins #50) only to be saved from drowning when a mysterious alien race abducted her to use as an experimental prototype for a subaquatic humanoid race. In the course of these experiments, she acquired gills, webbed fingers and toes, shining white hair, superhuman strength, resilience to deep water pressures, and a slowed aging process.
When the alien scientists abandoned the experiment, Dolphin escaped their underwater lab. Oblivious to her former humanity, the feral young Dolphin scavenged underwater for her livelihood, eventually finding her trademark short blue-jeans and white shirt inside a sunken ship. She has always been alone her entire life, constantly swimming and enjoying her personal freedom. As she grew into young womanhood, she became tired of living an isolated, lonely life. One day, the crew of an oceanology vessel saved her from a near lethal encounter with a dolphin-killing shark and took her aboard their ship to help her.
The mahimahi (/ˈmɑːhiːˈmɑːhiː/) or common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) is a surface-dwelling ray-finned fish found in off-shore temperate, tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. Also known widely as dorado and dolphin, it is one of two members of the Coryphaenidae family, the other being the pompano dolphinfish.
The name mahimahi means very strong in Hawaiian. In other languages, the fish is known as dorade coryphène, dorado, dolphin, lampuga, llampuga, lampuka, lampuki, rakingo, calitos, ti-rone or maverikos.
The common English name of dolphin causes much confusion. Additionally, two species of dolphinfish exist, the common dolphinfish (Coryphaena hippurus) and the pompano dolphinfish (Coryphaena equiselis). Both these species are commonly marketed by their Pacific name, mahi-mahi.
The fish is called mahi-mahi in the Hawaiian language, and "mahi mahi" is commonly used elsewhere.
In the Pacific and along the English speaking coast of South Africa they are also commonly called by the Spanish name, Dorado . In the Mediterranean island of Malta, this fish is referred to as the lampuka.
Dolphin is a free and open-source video game console emulator for the GameCube, Wii and Triforce that runs on Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android. It was the first emulator to successfully run commercial GameCube games, and is the only emulator capable of running commercial Wii games. Its name refers to the development code name for the GameCube.
Dolphin was first released in 2003 as an experimental Nintendo GameCube emulator that could boot up and run commercial games. Audio was not yet emulated, and there were performance issues. Many games crashed on start up or barely ran at all; average speed was from 2 to 20 frames per second (FPS).
Dolphin was officially discontinued in 2004, with the developers releasing version 1.01 as the final version of the emulator. The developers decided to revive the project in 2005 and then in 2007 version 1.03 was released with minor improvements and basic sound support.

I saw this van parked on Columbia Heights at Cranberry Street this morning. I took the photo with plans to publish it on Brooklyn Heights Blog, but Homer beat me to the punch with a photo by Mrs. Fink. Nevertheless, I think mine is better, if for no other reason than having the advantage of better lighting.
I love Homer's explanation of the levels of meaning in this scene.

ASUU Strike: We've "End Up At" Restricted Concurrence With ASUU — Ngige
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr. Chris Ngige, yesterday, in Abuja, said the Federal Government has reached a partial agreement with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.
Speaking at the end of the Federal Government's reconciliation meeting with the union, Ngige, who is one of Federal Government's negotiators said: "We have finished our deliberation for today (yesterday).
I am happy to report that we touched some areas of understanding in implementation from the memorandum of action which we agreed to in 2017.
His words: "Some of these areas we have substantial compliance and some other areas have not been fully dealt with.
"Like the issue of shortfall in salaries of some federal universities' workers and lecturers, ASUU has given a list to the accountant general's office and we have agreed that by Wednesday that list should be cross-checked by the presidential initiative on continuous auditing.
"So, the accountant general's office is to get back to us by Wednesday.
"We also have the issue of earned allowances, revitalization, these are issues of 2009 agreement and partial implementation and we have agreed on the modus operandi to look into the fund situation, this is due to low revenue on the part of the government."
He explained that the meeting had identified one area to look for the funds for the re-validation that the appropriate government organ would be contacted on the issue.
Ngige said the government was sure to have good information for the striking lecturers.
He said: "We have agreed on what we are going to do to make sure that the outstanding amount is handled in a way that all parties will be properly accommodated.
Meanwhile, ASUU President, Professor Abiodun Ogunyemi in his reaction said:
"Our own understanding is that we heard promises made on the part of the government, we shall await the report on all the issues, which they have made the promises.
"Only after that, we can get back to our members to take a decision."

A Kind of Loving by Stan Barstow
Beautiful 1960 British novel, about a working class young man who falls in love and suffers the usual dire consequences. There is a truthfulness and a familiarity about Barstow's narrator voice (the young man's voice) that is refreshing and seems unusual for that particular moment in pre-sexual-revolution Britain.
Astounding use of northern England slang, too, dozens of words and phrases I'd never seen before, like "take a butcher's" (to look at).

Another Bullshit Night in Suck City
This is Not Your City: Stories by Caitlin Horrocks
Very beautiful stories. The first one a strange, second-person singular narration. The second about a rural girl caring for her 40ish mother crippled by rheumatoid arthritis, and the lonely girl befriends a philosophical Amish young woman: story is in the form of a make-up term paper to earn her high school equivalency.

Family's descent on kidnapper "like a movie unfolding"
Adan Salazar
November 9, 2013
After police efforts proved fruitless, the family of a kidnapped woman demonstrated why the Second Amendment is important when they took matters into their own hands last Friday. They confronted the abductor at his hideout and killed him, rescuing the victim.
A tipoff to her whereabouts sparked the search for 29-year-old Bethany Arcenaux in an abandoned house in Duson, Louisiana yesterday morning. She was suspected to have been abducted earlier in the week by 29-year-old Scott Thomas, the father of her 2-year-old son.
"We found her. We went and got her in that house. We kicked doors down. It was like a movie unfolding," Bethany's brother Ryan Arceneaux described to reporters. He was one of a group of about six family members that ascended on the house. "If we would have waited, she would have been dead."
Family members described hearing screams when they entered the home. Inside they found Bethany, "bloodied and repeatedly stabbed," reports The Advertiser. Initial reports say Thomas was "harming her" when the family confronted him and exchanged fire, killing him.
"We didn't wait, we got up this morning and we did what we had to do. We did not wait for the authorities, we did it our own selves," another sibling, Harold Carter, said of the ambush.
Carter says he's relieved they were able to find Bethany before something worse happened.
Another relative said it was "upsetting" Bethany was found by family members and not police, a criticism Lafayette Police Department spokesman Cpl. Paul Mouton doesn't think is fair.
"While we were looking on one side, they were looking in another and they came upon her. It just so happens where they were looking was where she was found," Mouton told The Advertiser. "If we weren't looking at all and they were searching, that would be different."
While investigators are still working to piece together exactly what took place, Lafayette Parish Sheriff's Capt. Kip Judice says it doesn't appear as though any of the family members would be charged with a crime. "The man began harming her. He (Arceneaux's family member) did what he needed to do to stop that aggressive behavior from Mr. Thomas," Judice said.
The family's rescue is a great reminder to gun control advocates that, in the hands of citizens, firearms do indeed stop violent crimes.

|PolarScreen Glucocorticoid Receptor Competitor Assay Kit, Far Red
| PolarScreen Glucocorticoid Receptor (GR) Competitor Assay Kits are ideal for studying or screening novel GR binding compounds. The PolarScreen GR Competitor Assay Kits contain partially purified GR protein, stabilizing peptide, buffer, and one of the following proprietary fluorescent glucocorticoid Fluormone ligands: GS1 (green assay kit), GS Red (red assay kit), or GS Far Red (far red assay kit). Fluormone GS Red and GS Far Red reduce interference from the intrinsic fluorescence found in some compounds when excited in the green region of the visible spectrum. This kit is designed for room temperature assays, using a coactivator-related stabilizing peptide to maintain GR complex integrity. The assay can also be run in the absence of the stabilizing peptide at +4C.To assay:protein added to Fluormone GS1, GS Red or GS Far Red forms a complex with a higher polarization value. Test compounds that compete for binding to GR and prevent the formation of a Fluormone/GR complex will result in a lower polarization value (Figure 1 and Table 1). The shift in polarization in the presence of test compounds is used to determine the relative affinity of test compounds for GR.
The PolarScreen Glucocorticoid Receptor Competitor Assay Kits contain partially purified GR protein, Fluormone GS1 (green assay kit), GS Red (red assay kit), or GS Far Red (far red assay kit) proprietary fluorescent glucocorticoid ligands, stabilizing peptide, and buffer.

I have to admit, this is one of the least attractive soups that I know how to make. I mean, there really is no feasible way to get a decent photo of it, as it looks equally bad in most lighting. Seeing it in real life isn't much of an improvement; it just sits there looking vaguely orange. It is just plain homely.
As it turns out, life is not always about looks, which should be comforting to most of us. Sometimes it is about things like bright, clean flavors and smooth, creamy textures. Sometimes, it is also about being too lazy to make a proper meal. If any of the above fits your way of thinking, this soup is probably a great match.
I am a little unclear where this soup originated, as it doesn't seem to resemble anything in our cookbooks; it is almost as though it sprang into the world from Brinn's mind, fully formed. It is probably a derivative of potato-miso soup, just without the kelp. In all seriousness, we eat this soup a lot. In addition to being very quick and easy to prepare, it has a delightful creamy texture, a clean bright taste, and is best described by the things to which it is not similar. Not like a cream soup…not like a broth…not really similar to a standard miso soup. It is probably most similar to a thin tomato soup, although I really don't know why it should be. It manages to be satisfying and filling without having much in the way of calorie count.
This is a dashi-based soup, so if you don't know how to make it dashi, read this article. Making the soup is simple, especially if you have dashi in the refrigerator and have cooked the yam in advance, two common situations in our kitchen. Just purée the yam, miso, and sake together with some dashi, combine the purée with the remaining dashi, bring everything to a boil and pour the resultant broth over some greens and the prawns. Using aka, or red miso results in a sharp, robust flavor, but other types of miso will likely do in a pinch.
- 3 cups dashi (sea stock)
- 1 small to medium yam (garnet, preferably)
- 2 Tbs. aka (red) miso
- 1 Tbs. sake
- 1 cup spinach, rough cut
- 3 large cooked prawns per bowl
- Cut the yam into large chunks and, boil in a medium sauce pan until softened. Drain and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Peel the skin off the yam pieces and set aside.
- Puree the yam together with the miso, sake, and about 1 cup of the dashi.
- Combine the yam-miso purée with the remaining dashi and, in a medium sauce pan, bring briefly to a boil.
- While soup is heating, arrange spinach and cooked prawns in your serving bowls. Add the heated broth and serve.

Can Software Security Requirements Yield Faster Time to Market?

Working in the Rockies Staff Blog – Samay Molina
Samay's Story
"The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them. If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough." ― Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
My name is Samay Molina. I'm 23 years old, and from Puebla City in Mexico.
I graduated in Communication and Multimedia at Universidad Madero in Puebla City, and I'm an international trainee in Guest Services and Marketing at YMCA of the Rockies, Estes Park Center in Colorado.
Working and living in a different country where everyone speaks a different language than yours and being away from your family and friends isn't easy, but it's totally worth it!
It has always been my dream to study and work abroad since I was a kid. That's why I decided to go for an internship in the U.S. after finishing my studies at the University I wanted to get more knowledge of Marketing in the hospitality industry, and to practice and improve my English skills.
When YMCA of the Rockies and the training plan that it offers was shown to me, I felt convinced that it was what I wanted to do for the next year of my life.
This organization gives trainees the opportunity to know how it is to run a business and really understand how the hospitality industry works in the U.S. I have learned how to perform many activities in Guest Services, training, and other departments such as Group Sales, the Central Reservation Office, Marketing, Events Coordination and more.
One of the things that I most like about being an international trainee is that I am always meeting and working with people from all over the world and the U.S. This allows me to learn how to communicate effectively with people in all levels, from managers, to staff and guests.
A place like this, surrounded by nature and wildlife, offers the most beautiful views in all seasons, as well as opportunities to do unique activities. Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park is my favorite activity to do here. To come and visit YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park is something that you definitely have to do!
This experience has taught me to be grateful for these opportunities, and encouraged both others and me to keep pursuing our dreams and keep dreaming big!

There's not much else to say other than this latest trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journeyjust continues to whet the appetite for all things Middle-Earth. It's much more action-packed with some nice new scenes instead of just rehashing what was in the original teaser trailer from year ago.
Enough words. Just watch the trailer below and decide for yourself whether another trip to Middle-Earth (before all the War of the Ring brouhaha of the first trilogy) is worth your monies.

ACDelco, American automotive spare parts brand, has added to its commercial vehicle product lineup, re-introducing heavy-duty maintenance-free (HDMF) batteries and announcing new all-season metal wiper blades as well as oil and lubricant products in the Middle East
Providing the performance expected from ACDelco, the recent additions to the product line deliver quality at every budget. The improved and maintenance-free, HDMF battery has a higher reserve capacity and is benefited by full frame technology, with increased resistance to outside impact and vibration, the re-introduced product helps to provide better road safety. The brand's new lubricants, oils and fluids are specially formulated and help to protect vehicles against harsh weather conditions and heavy duty commercial use in the region.
Equipped with the latest technology and aerodynamic design for a smoother and quieter operation, the brand's windshield wipers are an economical replacement component for commercial vehicles. With strong corrosion resistance, the wipers' durability is complemented by acryl spray painting over layers of electro-deposition coating and electro zinc painting on a galvanised steel body.
Mohammed Al Fayyad, customer care and aftersales director for General Motors, said, "With the significant addition of new and enhanced products, we are affirming our commitment to staying at the forefront of the market and offering our customers a diverse product portfolio they can trust."
"For instance, most heavy-duty batteries in commercial applications are exposed and installed outside of the engine room, so they need to be able to endure extreme conditions. Specially designed materials have been added to ACDelco heavy-duty maintenance-free batteries to ensure they resist vibration and potential corrosion. The same practical thinking was also applied to the rest of our commercial vehicle product line," added Al Fayyad.
ACDelco HDMF batteries are made from a variety of components, including:
• A polypropylene case with a reinforced design precisely tailored to support the battery elements. This is an exceptionally strong material which is able to withstand shocks and vibrations from the road
• Centered Cast-on Plate Straps which are stronger than thinner gas-burned conventional connectors which reduce the lever action movement resulting from road shock
• A double lid that prevents contamination and also adds to the strength and rigidity of the battery. It also includes permanent flame arresters to prevent an accidental explosion from external spark or flame and a built-in hydrometer for faster checking.
According to a company, all ACDelco parts are covered by a manufacturer warranty, with HDMF batteries backed by a 12-month warranty.

The race for the Florida State Senate District 22 may well feature the first attack ad complaining about a political candidate's support for robots. The candidate in question, Jeff Brandes, is currently a member of the Florida legislature, where he has supported bills that would allow autonomous, driverless cars on the roads in Florida. Nevada has already passed such a law, and other states are considering this.
The ad was put out by the Committee to Protect Florida, a Florida PAC headed by political consultant Rockie Pennington, which has run another ad against Brandes as well. You can check out the ad below:
For those who can't watch or listen to the video at work, it shows footage of a driverless Prius nearly striking an elderly woman, while a voiceover, also from an elderly woman, expresses concern over allowing such dangerous things on the street. The tone of the ad has led Jalopnik's Travis Okulski to dub her the "'I've fallen and I can't get up' lady for the 21st century."
On a side note, the ad also quotes Forbes as saying that the cars are "more dangerous than driving." This appears to be a reference to Forbes contributor James Poulos's article "Driverless Cars For All: An Idea More Dangerous Than Driving." It's worth mentioning that Poulos isn't claiming, in this article, that driverless cars are unsafe. Rather, he's criticizing the suggestion that driverless cars be the only cars allowed on the road once they become viable. Which is nowhere near what Brandes has suggested.
Still, as we get further into the 21st century, I'm looking forward to seeing more anti-robot political attack ads in the future.
I'm a senior editor at Forbes covering healthcare, science, and cutting edge technology.

At a glance
- Flexible working practices, such as hot-desking and working from home, are increasingly common in today's organisations
- While delivering various benefits to employees and employers alike, they also present various risk management challenges
- We look at some important considerations when exploring flexible working practices
Working from home, hot-desking and bring your own device (BYOD) are all prominent examples of how our work environment is evolving.
For some job roles, technology now makes it possible to work seamlessly from anywhere in the world, challenging traditional staffing practices and enabling smarter and more flexible methods to be explored.
The growth of flexible working has been so quick that, according to the government, 1.3 million people now work from home, with a further 2.7 million working from multiple locations.
However, as well as potential benefits for both employers and employee, flexible working also presents a number of fresh challenges for risk managers to overcome.
We look at some important points to consider when exploring flexible working.
- Multiple locations, same duty of care
All employers should take reasonable steps to protect employees from foreseeable risks of harm. This duty is not limited to their regular place of work, but extends to all work environments, including business travel and home working.
Measures such as Display Screen Equipment (DSE) workstation assessments therefore still apply, but may need to be approached slightly differently.
As a minimum, DSE guidance should always be given that addresses different types of work environments. All workstations, including hot-desks, should be adjustable to meet various employees' needs. If a person is working from home regularly, it is advisable to conduct a separate DSE assessment for that environment.
Fundamentally, it is important to keep records of all risk management actions in order to evidence how you are meeting your duties to employees.
- Mental wellbeing
Managing hazards such as stress are also important when satisfying an employer's duty of care. Organisations should therefore consider how flexible working practices might impact employees' mental, as well as physical, wellbeing.
For example, using personal devices for work may remove clear divisions between work and life, introducing more stress. Working from home may have the same effect for some employees, while also potentially fostering feelings of isolation.
- Insurance implications
Businesses should always be encouraged to discuss flexible working arrangements with brokers and insurers to ensure cover remains suitable.
Portable electronic equipment, for example, can be subject to inner limits, so may require adjustments to accommodate larger amounts, or usage at multiple locations.
Equally, employers should recommend that employees check their own insurance arrangements for potential conflicts. Some household policies, for example, can restrict or exclude use for business purposes.
Similarly, if employees are using their own vehicle for business travel, it is essential to check that it is insured for uses beyond social, domestic and pleasure.
- Maintaining security
Flexible working practices can introduce a range of cyber and data security issues that will need to be addressed.
Allowing employees to use personal devices, such as laptops and smartphones, for work purposes is a particular challenge. Organisations should ensure they have clear written policies on acceptable use and security procedures, formally authorise and register all devices, and require strong passwords to be used.
Other sensible measures include using remote access virtual private networks (VPNs) for business purposes, and installing remote lock/wipe software in the event of a device being lost or stolen.
Guidelines on the use of unsecured WiFi networks should also be considered, as well as clear policies on taking paper files out of the office.
- Ensuring equality
If some employees benefit from flexible working at the expense of others, this can breed resentment towards both flexible workers and the organisation.
It is therefore advisable that flexible working arrangements are not made on an ad hoc basis, but instead introduced via clear policies setting out the circumstances of when and how they apply.
For more information managing the risks of flexible working practices, please speak with your local Zurich contact.

Look out T-Mo customers, a new bad boy is in (a very European) town! T-Mobile will be releasing the HTC Athena as the "Ameo" in Europe in a few weeks. Aside from having a crazy design to begin with (it's sweet nonetheless), the Ameo will feature Windows Mobile, a stunning 5-inch VGA touchscreen, 8GB of hard disk space for all your
porn media, quadband GSM, HSDPA, GPS, a 3-megapixel camera capable of both video and pictures, and a 624MHz XScale CPU. Sad that the CPU inside this "phone" is faster than my computer from the year 2000.
Talk about beefy. It's sketchy as to whether or not us Americans will be seeing the Ameo anytime soon, but it's somewhat possible. No word on how much this'll set you back for, but don't expect it to cheap.

'The Raid' Director to Make Former Darren Aronofsky Heist Project 'Breaking the Bank'
Posted on Friday, May 4th, 2012 by Russ Fischer
We knew that Gareth Evans, who directed The Raid, had to be tapped soon for a studio project. Now Universal has picked up the rights to Breaking the Bank, a film that will chronicle "the daring robbery of the Securitas Depot in Tonbridge, a £53 Million Sterling score (around $86 million US)," a crime that was put into motion by UFC fighter 'Lightning' Lee Murray.
Back in 2009 Darren Aronofsky was developing this same project, but ended up moving on to other things, and is now finally about to make Noah. So Universal picked up the project for Evans, and will likely be re-developed slightly to suit his sensibility.
Deadline says that Kerry Williamson's script is still in play. That draft is based on an April 2008 Sports Illustrated article by Jon Wertheim called Breaking the Bank, and the non-fiction book Heist: The Inside Story of the World's Biggest Robbery by Howard Sounes. This robbery is said to be the largest cash heist in history.
Evans' name was made as a dedicated action director; The Raid doesn't have much in the way of character or story. Breaking the Bank will require a lot more work in both departments, and so hopefully we'll see a lot more of what Evans can do. Whether this happens before or after the sequel to The Raid remains to be seen.
On Wednesday, 22 February 2006, GBP53 million in bank notes was stolen from a cash warehouse belonging to the Securitas company in Tonbridge, Kent — a sum of money so vast that if the notes were stacked up they would equal the height of high-rise building. In terms of value, the Tonbridge Securitas robbery puts all previous famous British capers, such as the Great Train Robbery and the Brink's-Mat bullion heist, in the shade; it also overshadows similar robberies overseas. Only in times of war have larger cash sums been stolen. This was a crime notable for its audacity, carried out in a small town in the Garden of England. A large number of people have been charged in connection with the Tonbridge robbery, with eleven men and women standing trial at the Old Bailey in summer 2007. Further details cannot be revealed at this stage, for legal reasons, but the full story will be told in Heist, by the author of one of the most successful true crime titles of recent years. Full of jaw-dropping detail and full of narrative pace, it will be the definitive account of these strange and compelling events.

I have considered the use of twitter in my classroom for some time now. This year I moved to teach 5th grade and the importance of teaching and modeling digital citizenship became even more evident. Students are already on social media websites. They are interacting with others and constantly sharing content - pictures, messages, videos, etc. I decided that this school year I would investigate the use of twitter again.
The year started and it seemed like just a few weeks later it was already time for winter break. I again committed myself to the exploration of twitter and collected suggestions for a twitter handle from my students. I decided that right before the holiday break was not the best time to begin to implement this new tool. I did set the account up, so we would be ready to begin in January.
Over the break, I procrastinated on all of the to-do list items which I had saved for the break. These items were on the list because I didn't want to do them earlier. I still did not want to attack the list of daunting tasks.
Instead I picked up my iPad and looked into Twitter again. As in the past, I found lots of wonderful educator resources and decided that I wanted to rebrand my own digital footprint. I created a new account which I am using to expand my professional network and engage in professional development. (@mareenakohtala)
My first tweet when live on December 29th. I had 0 followers. I searched for users in educational fields and built my list to follow. The purpose was developing myself, so what did it matter if no one followed me?
Then on December 30th, I posted a link to my blog posting on coding. This is when everything changed for me.
After the post, I checked out some tweets under the #HourOfCode. Those of you famliar Twitter will understand why hours later I found myself far from the coding feed I had started on.
and then I found the #edtechchat three hours after the live chat was over.
If you have an interest in technology incorporation, this Monday evening chat is an absolute must! The chat is 8-9 P.M. Eastern time. I created a three page word document of screen shots, web links, lists, and users to follow up on from my first chat.
I found a post about a live broadcoast of a concert from school. I had considered the ability to do this just this fall when we held an informational session for parents, when I was unable to attend the chorus concert because of my book club cookie exchange, and when I was considering options for sharing information via video to other teachers after school hours. The answer to what I had wanted to learn - here on Twitter! Not only that, but a connection to someone that I could reach out to if I had questions. (Thanks Chip Williams!)
As if these experiences didn't confirm my love of Twitter already,
the moment I realized I had just hit the nail on the head came January 5th.
I posted a link to a blog post I wrote. I quickly saw a rise in hits on my website. Someone is actually reading what I wrote?
Then came retweets and favorites by other educational users. A comment on my activity came in from Canada, copying another 5th grade teacher that had retweeted my post.
I felt like I had contributed something of value for other educators. Perhaps my writing isn't worthy (yet) of book publishing, and maybe I haven't hit thousands of followers, but someone else read what I wrote and liked it.
I was transported back to my elementary self, beaming after receiving positive feedback from my teacher. Why did I feel this way? My words meant something. What I made was valuable.
I want every one of my students to share this same feeling.
Today we posted our first tweet of our New Year's Resolutions. After some class discussions and expectation set up, we are going to go live with student contributions in the next few weeks. I also added on the ability of students blogging through my teacher website (thanks to Paul Solarz - psolarz.weebly.com). My students will be given the ability to create posts sharing their learning and projects. Periodically, we will use our twitter account to share some of the posts to give my students an audience.
I cannot wait for the reactions as my students share with their new audience. I will be sure to share those via twitter!

In Case You Missed It: PandoMonthly with Elon Musk
Last night's PandoMonthly with Elon Musk was a smashing success. After selling out at record speed, hundreds came to watch, devoured a mountain of pizza, and walked away with PandoDaily t-shirts in hand. In case you were unable to watch it live at the time, or were stuck in traffic on the way there (as Musk was), we've got you covered.
Musk answered almost every question we put to him, but he went into more detail on what other entreprenuers should do while raising venture capital, why he isn't going to be doing another Internet startup, his thoughts on CleanTech, the launch of SpaceX, and finally, his plans for the future.
Now for the recording:

Cranberry, Ginger and Pistachio Shortbread Biscuits
These are the shortbread biscuits I should have made the other day, instead of trying that other recipe out which failed abysmally. This is my "go-to" recipe for shortbread biscuits. It never fails me, ever . . .
Normally I make them with only candied ginger and I drizzle them with melted dark chocolate, but today I fancied something a little bit different . . . something festive!
With the green and red colours of Christmas and a tiny snap of Ginger . . . dried Cranberries, Pistachio Nuts and the ginger worked so very well together . . . and I thought were quite pretty.
The white chocolate drizzle was a very pretty touch. Altogether these were . . .
Truly. I would not lie. These are very Merry Christmas Biscuits! Short and crumbly . . . rich and buttery . . . with tantalizing flecks of tasty red, green and spicy gold througout. I used my Pampered Chef chopper to chop everything nicely. I just spritzed the blade with some non stick cooking spray first. Worked like a charm.
It all worked like a charm. The colours, the flavours, the textures. All good. I love it when that happens.
*Cranberry, Ginger and Pistachio Shortbread Biscuits*
Makes about 5 dozen
Printable Recipe
A delicious variation on an old holiday favourite!
225g unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)
65g sifted icing sugar (1/2 cup)
2 TBS finely chopped dried cranberries
2 TBS finely chopped candied ginger
2 TBS finely chopped pistachio nuts
1/4 tsp salt
200g plain flour (2 cups)
90g white chocolate chips melted (1/2 cup)
Preheat the oven to 300*C/150*F/ gas mark 2. Line a couple of baking sheets with baking paper. Set aside.
Cream the butter ad sugar together in a bowl util light and fluffy. Stir in the salt, berries, ginger and nuts. Gradually stir in the flour until well combined. Roll out between two sheets of greaseproof paper, to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes using a sharp metal cookie cutter. Place onto the lined baking sheets, leaving some space inbetween cookies. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until light golden. Scoop off and cool on a wire rack. Repeat until all the dough is used, re-rolling scraps as necessary.
Once all the biscuits have been baked and cooled, melt the chocolate chips according to the package directions. Drizzle decoratively over top of the shortbread biscuits. Allow to set before storing in an airtight container.

Non-Mydriatic Retinal Cameras and Telemedicine
Timothy J. Bennett, CRA, OCT-C, FOPSPenn State Hershey Eye CenterHershey, Pennsylvania
Non-mydriatic fundus cameras with digital capture capabilities are often used as screening devices for diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Diabetes is a significant worldwide health problem affecting an estimated 18 million people in the United States alone. One of the most devastating complications of diabetes is blindness from diabetic retinopathy. Early detection and treatment can significantly reduce the incidence of blindness from retinopathy. It is estimated however, that only about half the known patients with diabetes receive recommended annual eye examinations. The reasons for the low rate of patient compliance are complex, and include poor access to ophthalmologists in rural or other underserved areas. Digital fundus photography is an effective method of retinopathy screening that is capable of detecting macular edema and proliferative diabetic retinopathy, the most common causes of vision loss in diabetics.
Non-mydriatic digital fundus cameras are designed with an infrared focusing system that promotes physiologic dilation in a darkened room, making them simple to operate. They can be placed at remote primary care sites and operated by available clinical personnel such as nurses and medical assistants. In a telemedicine environment, images are electronically transferred to a centralized reading center for image review and treatment recommendations. Image quality can be quite good, but doesn't match the quality produced with a mydriatic camera through pharmacologically dilated pupils.
Although professional ophthalmic photographers generally don't perform imaging in digital screening programs they often oversee network design, training and sometimes serve as primary image graders in screening programs. Digital retinopathy screening programs have been implemented in many locations around the world and are most successful in countries with centralized health care, such as the government sponsored screening program in the United Kingdom.

The Anglican Centre in Rome has a report and pictures up of yesterday's historic celebration of Anglican Evensong in St. Peter's Basilica.
The service was held in honour of St Gregory the Great on the nearest day to his old feast day. St Gregory was the Pope who sent St Augustine to England to evangelise the Anglo-Saxons and who has become an unofficial patron of the most recent ecumenical exchanges between the Anglican and Roman Catholic Churches. His crozier-head was sent to Canterbury as a gesture of support during the Primates' Meeting in January 2016 and Pope Francis gave Archbishop Justin Welby a wooden crozier modelled on it during their meeting in October. Archbishop Roche preached on the important ways in which Pope St Gregory, the servant of the servants of God, can guide relations between the two communion today.
The event follows closely the historic visit of Pope Francis to All Saint's Anglican Church in Rome.
At Evensong, the closing hymn was one we love at our parish Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Ottawa and one that guided our entry into the Catholic Church in 2012
More from the Anglican Centre's website:
The final hymn, during which the procession made its way to the tomb of St Gregory, was the great, rousing, "Thy hand, O God, has guided'. The final verse sums up so much of the feeling in St Peter's today as Anglicans and Catholics praised God together in a way few would have expected even a year ago:
Thy mercy will not fail us,
Nor leave thy work undone;
With thy right hand to help us,
The victory shall be won;
And then, by men and angels,
Thy name shall be adored,
And this shall be their anthem,
One Church, one Faith, one Lord.
One Church. One Faith. One Lord.
I am reminded of something I read in Fr. Louis Bouyer's Memoirs. A Lutheran convert to Roman Catholicism, Fr. Bouyer knew and was on good terms with prominent Protestant theologians such as Oscar Cullmann who was an influential observer at the Second Vatican Council. Cullmann was the one who coined the phrase "reconciled diversity" that Pope Francis has often used when talking about Christian unity.
However, because Fr. Bouyer was a convert, the powers that be kept him away from any ecumenical dialogue during the years of the Council. He lamented that having been a Lutheran who converted, he might be in the best position to participate, understanding both sides!
Every time I see something on the continuing ecumenical dialogue with the Anglican Communion and the Personal Ordnariates set up under Anglicanorum Coetibus are treated as irrelevant or non-existent, I am reminded of Fr. Louis Bouyer.

Vicar's Letter July
2 Jul 2018 • General news
Dear All,
I have recently been to a meeting to reflect on a report[1]by The Centre for Theology and Community based on the experiences of seven growing Anglo-Catholic churches in London. These churches are not just growing in the number of people attending, but also spiritually and in service to their communities. Like St Alban's, the seven churches were all in areas of deprivation. Of course, London is different to Birmingham in many ways but much of what was discovered about why these churches grow is relevant to us.
The Study identified seven Characteristics across the seven churches.
- 1."Growth-minded priests - Priests who want to see their churches grow and are prepared to lead in this direction. For them, growth is part of their mindset. Their leadership often sees much continuity with previous practices, but they are also prepared to make changes where necessary."[1]
- 2.Maximising resources. This was mainly about generating income from letting out the church, church hall and other assets. This might be much more difficult for us than a London church with high rents and high demand. The seven churches also encouraged giving through stewardship campaigns.
- 3.Building up leadership among lay people. Many people do help lead our church but we might think of how to encourage more and especially younger people to be more involved.
- 4.Focus on a warm welcome. Of course, we have a particular sort of Sunday morning service, but we can make sure that any new person is made to feel welcome and helped to understand and follow our service by, for example, someone sitting beside them and helping them find the right book and page. We now run a less formal Mass on Saturday evening and a Celtic Evening Prayer, both of which are easier to follow than the Sunday Morning Service. Greeting children and families and helping them to have a great time is important to growth and of course, as we already do, having refreshments at the end of the service. So we are already doing a lot towards this but we need to be thinking about hospitality all the time.
- 5.Welcoming children. This is important enough to be a separate category to the general need for hospitality. It includes activities like our Sunday school that makes children feel much more part of our church and the Multimedia family mass. I also hope that we can run messy church occasionally.
- 6.Working with local partners. This is again something we are active in, our links with Ark St Alban's Academy. Stanhope Hall, and with many local groups through the food bank. I hope that the Highgate Interfaith Forum will soon restart, linking us with other faith communities in our community. (I should just mention here that the first meeting will be on Wednesday 4thJuly at 11am in the Central Mosque).
- 7.Midweek encounters. Through our links with the school and Stanhope hall we have many encounters with the local community. When possible, I go to the lunches at Stanhope hall, but as the lunches are on Monday (when I work in the school) and Thursday (When we have a 12:30pm mass) these encounters are limited. There are other ways I try to be in, and part of, the community: going to a local boxing gym and wearing my collar as I walk around the parish. I also hope that events like the drumming workshop will help us to do more work with our community.
Once we have the building work on the church done we need to think about how to use our enhanced building to make our presence more visible in the community. One thing I have in mind is to have an arts festival at St Alban's next summer with many types of art and music in the church, and this might include a drumming and/or singing workshop.
I am sure everyone worries about our church declining over the years. I pray that worrying will not paralyse us but spur us on to think about some of these things. Anglo Catholic churches can grow, but it won't happen if we don't pray about growth and then act on what God is telling us to do.

World War I in Lawrence: Women encouraged to register for war service
Following the compulsory military draft of young men nationwide, the state of Kansas attempted a voluntary registration of women for war service. As explained in a Lawrence Journal-World article in early August, "There is nothing compulsory about the registration of women…. They are merely asked to tell the government just what they can do to help win the war. Every line of service is regarded as useful, be it housekeeping or stenography, nursing or school teaching."
The date for registration was set by the governor's proclamation for September 5 for all women over the age of 16. It was again emphasized that "the registration is voluntary and made solely 'for the purpose of discovering definitely what each woman can do for the greatest advancement of her country and herself during the war.'" Running concurrently with this program was the "Hoover food pledge card" drive, backed by federal food administrator Herbert Hoover, which was explained this way: "There is not enough food in the world to go around. That is why the government wants the housekeeper to conserve in her own home. By doing this she will leave that much more food for the starving allied nations. Unless she does this hundreds of thousands of men, women and children will perish this winter."
In spite of reassurances that both programs were voluntary and that the object of the government was simply "to know where the women can be found when they are needed," Douglas County women were reluctant to sign up for them. Only 15 percent of the eligible females participated on registration day. According to news reports, this was "not taken to mean that the women of the county lack patriotism but that they did not realize the importance."

4 steps to make your smart home more security smart
Authored by a NortonLifeLock employee
"IoT" is an acronym for the "Internet of Things." And any device that can connect to the Internet and transmit or receive data can be considered a "smart" thing. That includes smart homes, also known as connected homes.
Smart homes — in which IoT devices such as thermostats or ovens can be programmed from anywhere — are popular with consumers who seek convenience. Some people, however, may not realize the connected devices or appliances they've grown to depend on could leak private information or be susceptible to hackers. In the rush to get products to market, smart device makers may not see security as a priority. However, recent studies indicate they should if they want consumers to continue buying.
In January 2016, Accenture reported that 47% of consumers said privacy risks or security concerns were reasons they wouldn't buy smart things. Of consumers who had bought IoT devices, 18% returned them until they felt more secure that their sensitive information couldn't be hacked.
"People buy from brands they trust because they assume security is built in," says Brian Witten, Senior Director of IoT Security for Symantec. However, more often than not, that assumption is incorrect. Although some smart device makers build in basic security measures — like password encryption — not all do. This means that, for now, the best way to make sure your smart home is security smart is to take matters into your own hands.
How to Help Secure Your Smart Home
1. Secure your network. Smart things need to connect to the Internet, and most of us use Wi-Fi for that. If your home Wi-Fi network isn't secure, then your private information isn't either. Be sure to turn on Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA2) encryption protocol when setting up your Wi-Fi, and use a router that offers firewall protection whenever possible. While you're at it, change the preset username and password. You can typically learn how to do this by going to your provider's website and doing a search for "how to change Wi-Fi password." Depending on your Wi-Fi gateway, you may also be able to create multiple network identities. Think about which devices you use to transact. If you shop and bank online, you could create one network for the devices you use to transact and another for smart devices, which may have more vulnerabilities.
2. Know your devices. Make sure you understand what capabilities your smart devices have. You may not be comfortable with all of them. For example, some smart TVs are able to listen to your conversations. Disable these features to suit your comfort levels, usually by going to the Settings menu. Also, modify the privacy and security settings according to your needs. And be sure to install updates when you receive notifications.
3. Install security software. Internet security software may not work with all smart devices, but it does with the most important ones: your PC, Mac, smartphone, and tablet. Many trusted computer security companies make software that can protect multiple devices, including your smartphone. Even when your Wi-Fi network is secure, it won't be able to protect you from the types of malware that could infect your computers. Use security software, and be sure to update to the latest versions promptly whenever you receive notifications. These updates are often released in response to major online threats that require software companies to issue patches.
4. Secure your smartphone. It goes without saying that you should already be using strong passwords on all your devices. Even so, many people still do not use passcodes to lock their smartphones — 33%, according to the Norton Cybersecurity Insights Report. Almost all IoT devices are controlled by a smartphone app, so mobile phones have become key entry points to our smart households — and in the case of smart locks, they're actually the keys to our physical homes. Imagine if your un-password-protected smartphone fell into the wrong hands and you hadn't logged out of the app that unlocks your front door. So it's more critical than ever to keep smartphones secure. Before purchasing products or installing apps, even those to control your connected home, read the Privacy Policy to see what types of data the app will access from your smartphone, what data it will collect, and what will be done with that data.
The Future of Your Connected Home
Until somebody figures out a way to control security for all of the vulnerabilities in your connected home, it's up to you to decide how security smart your smart home should be. You needn't think you'll be alone in trying to navigate this space, however. By 2020, Gartner predicts there will be25 billion IoT devices in use around the world — and most will likely be in smart homes. The sooner you start to take control of the security of your connected home, the better positioned you'll be to make intelligent choices in the future as you add devices to your smart domain.

What are your goals for social media marketing and what key performance metrics do you use to determine if your efforts are effective?
This is a common question we get all the time. The trouble with this question is that it is easy to answer, but more difficult to understand the answer. Often he answer is somewhat abstract.
Similar to Search Engine Optimization, social media marketing and social media optimization not only requires an understanding of how search engines work, but also a strategic goal for targeting both your demographic market and your effective key word phrases.
But what does that really mean and how do you gauge success? There are a few metrics we look at specifically to determine the success of social media marketing. The first, and most obvious, is the amount of and quality of traffic each social media source drives…total visits, unique visitors and how deep and long these visitors remain on your site. How many visits did you get from Facebook or LinkedIn? These numbers typically are not that high on any target tracking report because the underlying purpose of many of these sites is to interact ON these sites. Still, getting quality traffic from these sites is one key performance indicator.
Another and better indicator is where these alternate sites rank in the SERPs for your targeted words. Does your blog or Twitter account appear in the top ten results in a Google search for your name? Having these ancillary sites appear in the SERPs is a huge win. As Carol always says, "When you Google your name, do you like what you see?"
A third area to look at when determining the effectiveness of your social media and SEO program is your keywords and referring URL numbers. Effective social media and SEO will increase the number of key word phrases coming into the site and the number of URLs into the site – which inherently expands the overall reach of the site.
In addition to all of these, a well built blog and effective blogging and moderation (with SEO in mind) should produce a top 5 referral source to your site. To date, mRELEVANCE has built well over 100 blogs and all of them (when run effectively over time) have become a top 5 referring site for the client…along with the overall program increasing quality web traffic between 50 – 200%. This is a common occurrence for a company that operates at the intersection of Social and Search! Contact us when you are ready to see this kind of result.
