WASHINGTON — The Army posted a photo to Instagram today with the caption "Feeling cute, may change the Army uniform later, IDK."
The Air Force and Coast Guard both totally liked the photo. The Navy left a sarcastic GIF in reply, mocking the Army's clear attempt at garnering extra attention.
The Marines called the Army a series of expletives and said, "DO IT!!! #youwont #armysoweak."
The Air Force told reporters, "Every single time we tell the Army that everyone thinks it looks beautiful just the way it is, the Army posts some weird insecure crap like this. Like, dude, seriously: You look great, everyone understands the ACUs were a mistake. Let's all move on!"
The Air Force's opinion represents the majority, who cannot understand why the Army continues to post uniform changes in selfies only to later delete them.
"I think the Army just needs to look in a mirror," the Air Force added. "It'ss beautiful the way it is."

How To Write A *How-To* Book In Five Easy Steps - Articles Surfing
Do you know that what you know can make you money?
Many of the top-selling books on the market today are "How To" books. Our society devours instructional manuals about everything from relationships to dieting to crafts and cars! The best news is that e-books, which involve little-to-no cost to publish, are a prime vehicle for selling "How To" information.
Writing a "How To" book is easy, if you divide the whole into a number of parts ... and work on each one at a time.
1. Pick a subject
What do you know that others don't? You'd be surprised how many things you know how to do that others would love to learn. For instance, a few years ago, I won a Lemon Law suit against a major automobile manufacturer. Afterwards, I wrote a "How To" article about my experience for a national magazine, and they paid me $1,000! Surprisingly, many people haven't got a clue about how to file such a suit, what defects are covered, and how to get help. I'm now planning an e-book on this topic.
Business "How-To" books are usually top sellers. However, a lack of business acumen shouldn't stop you. Browse online bookstores, like http://www.booklocker.com and http://www.amazon.com to see successful "How-To" books on every conceivable subject. People don't just want to make money-they also want to learn how to accomplish goals and become proficient at hobbies.
2. Make a list of five things you know how to do.
Remember, even if there are experts on the subject, plenty of others don't know where to begin. Here are some examples:
Animal training, such as teaching tricks or even potty-training your cat; Crafts, such as needlepoint, crochet, knitting; Childcare, such as raising five children and staying sane, vacationing with kids; Thrift shop buying; selling old stuff on consignment; holding a yard sale successfully; any type of arts, such as painting, collage, playing an instrument, writing when you don't even have an hour a day, selling your paintings online, etc.
Look at the some non-fiction best seller lists to see what's hot in the how-to genre these days. See:
After creating your list, try to find a niche. For instance, my e-book, How to Become a Technical Writer, is geared to those who have not yet had their first job in the field, after research uncovered that there were few, if any, books that targeted this market.
3. Write an outline
Writing an outline (even in your head) is essential, but the outline is not set in stone. Getting your ideas on paper will spur you to write the book. It's just filling in the blanks. Although I was overwhelmed about where to begin on the subject of breaking into technical writing, noting the various components (Categories of technical writing, tools you'll need, etc.), gave me a road map.
4. Research your subject
You will, of course, want to locate facts and figures about your "How To" book subject. One of the most valuable aspects of e-books is that they allow the reader to link directly to the Internet from the text. So, if you are writing a "How-To" book about paper airplanes, you will want to include links to web sites on subjects such as the history of paper airplanes, relationships to real airplanes, paper airplane contests and records, and other books. The more resources you give your readers, in addition to your own knowledge, the more satisfied they will be.
5. Write the book
You don't have to write the book from start to finish in that order. That's the bliss of "How-To" books. You already know the ending! In fact, I often found myself creating new chapters as I went along. To begin, pick the easiest chapter to write from your outline. Remember, you already know this information, and are simply passing your knowledge on to others. You don't have to create it out of thin air!
I want to make an additional comment about publishing your "How To" book in e-book format, if not exclusively, then in addition to (or even instead of) a print version. You can easily update and edit an e-book. And, you should update annually. I cannot think of a subject that will not require the addition or deletion of information annually (e.g., a new web site containing great information, a link that no longer works, etc.). This means that some people may actually buy your book again, if the new information is valuable enough!
The best way to start writing your first "How-To" book is to get started now. So, go ahead and use the information you know to help others, while enhancing your writing career!

The notions of sustainability and corporate responsibility have "barely made a dent" in the culture of the UK's largest fundraising charities, a new report warns.
Matching Method to Mission, published today by the agency Forster Communications, says that although the subjects are increasingly critical to organisations in the business world, they are more of "an aspiration rather than a reality" in the voluntary sector.
The report is based on research conducted by Forster in February, which attempted to identify any staff among the top 100 charities by fundraised income who had sustainability or corporate responsibility as part of their roles.
Researchers also looked at each charity website to see if there was a publicly available report on sustainability performance.
They found that only 10 of the top 100 had named sustainability leads, and 13 had employees whose roles involved elements of corporate responsibility.
Only two of the 100 charities – Cancer Research UK and the RNLI – had publicly available corporate responsibility reports.
"Clearly, the disciplines of sustainability and corporate responsibility have barely made a dent in the cultures of the largest charities in the UK," the report says.
"While they all signal a myriad of standards, frameworks and membership bodies they are part of, very few of the top 100 fundraising charities have any named person or plan that covers all aspects of how they deliver their work and the impact it has socially and environmentally."
It adds: "In all cases, corporate responsibility, if mentioned, referred to the businesses charities work with, but not to the charities themselves."
The report suggests nine ways in which charities can ensure their methods match their mission, including stepping back regularly to consider the bigger picture of how the charity is operating, giving staff the opportunity to raise concerns and being transparent about what the organisation does and how it does it.
Katie Buchanan, head of sustainability at Virgin Media, says in the report that charities are "in danger of falling behind the progressive business community" and making it harder for themselves to strike up partnerships with companies.
"As more businesses become purpose-driven, a sense of mission is being driven from the boardroom so business is run in the right way," she says.
"Social sector organisations need to give the same attention to how they conduct themselves otherwise they might find it difficult, if not impossible, to find progressive businesses to build long-term, sustainable and productive partnerships with.
"Ultimately, charities don't have a monopoly on creating social change and businesses may choose to take on social issues without them."

On Beauty
A NovelBook - 2005
Howard Belsey, a Rembrandt scholar who doesn't like Rembrandt, is an Englishman abroad and a long-suffering professor at Wellington, a liberal New England arts college. He has been married for thirty years to Kiki, an American woman who no longer resembles the sexy activist she once was. Their three children passionately pursue their own paths: Levi quests after authentic blackness, Zora believes that intellectuals can redeem everybody, and Jerome struggles to be a believer in a family of strict atheists. Faced with the oppressive enthusiasms of his children, Howard feels that the first two acts of his life are over and he has no clear plans for the finale. Or the encore.
Then Jerome, Howard's older son, falls for Victoria, the stunning daughter of the right-wing icon Monty Kipps, and the two families find themselves thrown together in a beautiful corner of America, enacting a cultural and personal war against the background of real wars that they barely register. An infidelity, a death, and a legacy set in motion a chain of events that sees all parties forced to examine the unarticulated assumptions which underpin their lives. How do you choose the work on which to spend your life? Why do you love the people you love? Do you really believe what you claim to? And what is the beautiful thing, and how far will you go to get it?
Set on both sides of the Atlantic, Zadie Smith's third novel is a brilliant analysis of family life, the institution of marriage, intersections of the personal and political, and an honest look at people's deceptions. It is also, as you might expect, very funny indeed.

I'm disappointed, and this took me much too long to get through. I will give her another try with a different work.
A great novel, both very traditional with an omniscient narrator and very modern in its subject matter: mixed-race marriages, parent-child dynamics, academic politics, infidelity, and of course: class. The novel is sprawling and takes in tons of themes and relationships yet Smith manages to have a very light-handed touch and plenty of humor and arresting insight to hold the reader's attention to the very last page.
The novel is centered on the mixed-race mixed-nationality family of Howard and Kiki Belsey. He's a transplanted British art historian in a posh American college town, she is a non-intellectual African-American woman with roots in Florida (home to some of the oldest all-black communities in America). This pairing of opposites somehow works, because Smith fills out her characters so skillfully and affectionately. Howard and Kiki have three college-age kids each with their own dramas and subplots: the eldest Jerome is a sensitive boy and a committed Christian who feels alienated from his violently anti-clerical father; Zora is a ruthlessly careerist alpha personality who inherited her mother's physique and her father's contempt for any form of commitment; and the youngest, Levi, is in his last year of high school and the only one to break away from his cloistered, privileged family. He gets drawn into the lives and pain of the Haitian immigrants who sell knockoffs on the sidewalks of Boston and work as cleaners at the fictional Wellington College (an obvious stand-in for Harvard or any other elite, smug university).
The novel's events are driven by the Belseys' intricate relations with another family, that of Montague Kipps, a rightwing Caribbean-British celebrity intellectual whom Howard loathes but with whose wife Carlene Kiki develops a tender, short-lived friendship.
There are at least five more peripheral characters in On Beauty, all of them brought to life on the page by Smith's uncanny gift for characterization. In just a few brushstrokes she's able to fashion completely believable characters such as Carl, the strikingly handsome working-class black youth from Roxbury; Dean French, the buttoned-up, arid academic head of the College; and Erskine Jegede, an always nattily-dressed Nigerian academic and colleague of Howard who's mastered the wiles of academic politics.
Each scene in On Beauty is masterfully rendered, and as many readers have noted there is plenty of laugh-out-loud humor (especially the sex scene) and insights into the human condition. In this novel Smith really is in the mode of the great 19th and 20th century realists, but with a much lighter touch. The novel's very last scene is incredibly beautiful, achieving the impossible feat of making us empathize with an otherwise thoroughly contemptible and risible man. I felt that rare thing one feels with truly exceptional novels: sadness that it had to end and a wish that it was longer.
On Beauty is a thoroughly satisfying novel. A comedy set primarily in academia, author Smith explores issues of marriage and infidelity, politics (academic and otherwise), race, class and art. Part satirical, part serious and usually quite funny—particularly the funniest sex scene I've ever read. Smith is generous with her cast of likeable characters, the one exception being blowhard professor Howard. How did Kiki stay married to him all these years?
** stars I really wanted to like this book because I had heard such praise for Ms. Smith. She is an excellent writer, but this book failed me because I did not care about or else actively despised the main characters. Howard Belsey is an Englishman teaching in Wellington, a college town in New England. After 30 years of marriage he is struggling to revive his love for his African American wife Kiki ( my favorite character, but she appears far too infrequently and definitely should kick his ass to the side ) ( the book does have one of the finest descriptions of mature sex that I have ever read) . Meanwhile, his three teenage children Jerome, Zora and Levi are struggling with their own lives. After Howard has a disastrous affair with a colleague, his sensitive older son, Jerome, escapes to England for the holidays. In London he defies everything the Belseys represent when he goes to work for Trinidadian right-wing academic, Monty Kipps. Taken in by the Kipps family for the summer, Jerome falls for Monty's beautiful daughter, Victoria. But this short-lived romance has long-lasting consequences, drawing these very different families into each other's lives. As Kiki develops a friendship with Mrs. Kipps, and Howard and Monty do battle on different sides of the culture war, hot-headed Zora brings a handsome young man from the Boston streets into their midst whom she is determined to draw into the fold of the black middle class. Part of my problem with the book is that I have lost all patience with men and women who allow lust and selfishness to be justifications for despicable behavior - in one case the sexual abuse of a young student by a professor. I disliked both the adult and the child-woman, but this sexual scene seemed unnecessary for the story line and led me to wonder about the author's inclusion of it, especially because his behavior had no consequences for the professor. Does this young woman author find such an encounter titillating or despicable? I could not identify with the teenagers. I did empathize with the street kid who had talent, but was used by Zora and ended up a child at the candy store window. The two professors are egomaniacs who allow themselves to cause harm with impunity. Kiki stands out in the chaos around her with great integrity, but she is not enough to allow me to like the book. Sorry to say, I cannot recommend.
I guess I just didn't get it.
Really amazing great book
Another great novel set at a university. If you liked White Teeth, you will definitely like this.
This novel is a slice of several cultures I have little experience with: East Coast black urbanites, Ivy League university life, mixed-race families, London, art history and beat poetry. Many have criticized the story for its inauthentic dialogue and slow pacing. I can't speak for the dialogue except the words sound true to me though I do understand why others had problems with it. The apparent slower pacing worked well, I thought, because the prose was much more introspective. This book allows you to immerse yourself in each scene and each exchange of dialogue, and the added commentary is more like our own loose reflections on daily life, which give it a realism that others might find slow or irrelevant.

Welcome to the third annual Portland Textile Month! We are honored to have you join us as we explore our 2020 theme of Repair & Reuse. Given all the challenges 2020 has brought, our programming emphasizes the collective mending of our social fabric, community-making projects, and highlighting the work of marginalized and or underrepresented community leaders and artists. In a moment where many people are isolated, we hope all those who interact with PTM art exhibits, virtual programming, or our distributed community projects feel a connection with our vibrant textile community. We hope all who participate feel a connection to the collective spirit and embedded beauty woven throughout all of this year's PTM programming. Thank you for your support, we couldn't do it without you!
Help Fund the Next Phase of Development of Portland Textile Month
In a little over two years, PTM has turned from an ambitious idea into an engaged community movement. This transformation highlights the power of our mission to foster collaboration cross-pollination, cultural dialogue, and exchange among the Portland textile community and beyond.
We've organized 3 festivals with over 170 events representing the diversity of textile interests and practices. And we've galvanized makers, businesses, teachers, students, institutions, and organizations to gather around shared interests and knowledge-sharing.
PTM would not have been possible without the dedication of a core group of committed volunteers and the receptiveness of the textile community. We hope to continue building PTM and TextileXchange as sustainable resources that serve the textile community for years to come. And that's where you come in.
If you feel a connection to the PTM mission and what we can accomplish together, please consider directly supporting the next phase of our development. As a direct contributor, your funds will go toward directly towards operational expenses.

Sky Exchange
We often need a reminder to acknowledge what is shared among us, rather than what divides us. Brittany Vega reminds us in her Distributed Community Project, "Sky Exchange".
"Sky Exchange" is a call for personally captured moments of the sky as one sees it at any given moment.
Brittany Vega's work embraces the notion of repair as it relates to tensions in relationships and offers sharing perspectives as a healing path forward. She recreates each submitted sky image as a painted flag that will be sent to a different participant. By the project's end, various homes in Portland will be flying an ode to the perspective of another, an ode not to a nation, but to a shared place, a flag for the sky.
Brittany Vega draws inspiration from personal collections of politically charged objects and historical documentation to investigate how these things act as symbols for American-ness, and how they can be misconstrued.

Up to 15 per cent of 15 to 64 year olds in the two countries use cannabis, while 2.8 per cent of the same age group use drugs such as speed and crystal meth. The latter figure does not include use of ecstasy.
The data is part of a series of papers published in The Lancet examining global drug use and law enforcement, which was led by Professor Louisa Degenhardt, who is based at UNSW's National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre (NDARC).
In 2009 in Oceania, 10 to 15 per cent of people had used marijuana in the previous year, compared with 1.2 to 2.5 per cent in Asia.
The authors report that in a high-income country such as Australia, illicit drugs are responsible for 2 per cent of years lost due to disability, compared with 2.3 per cent for alcohol and 7.8 per cent for tobacco.
The study has been reported extensively around the world, including in the Sydney Morning Herald.

Canada's Wonderland is the only theme park that is within a reasonable drive from where I live. This is my 4th year getting a season's pass and according to my prediction, I see that the number will only continue to increase. I also predicted it during my 1st year of being a season's pass holder, so… yeah, you get the point.
Let's stop and think about it.
I am in my 20s and damn I'm feeling old! Canada's Wonderland seems to be associated with kids. I agree. However, most people forget that the thrill rides were made for people like me, adults. Basically, what I'm trying to get across is that I feel no shame in getting a season's pass 4 years in a row hahaha. Still not convinced?
The Leviathan is a big blue roller coaster that reaches 306 feet and goes at a speed of 148km/h. Now that's fast!
What's cool about this ride is that parts of the ride are outside of the entrance. You will be able to see and get the feeling of what to expect even from your car! No surprises.
I bet you are jealous! Or, maybe you're more scared. Whichever one suits you best.
Next is Flight Deck. Flight Deck is an intense roller coaster. It has the speed, the turns, the flip, the pains, but more importantly, it has the adrenaline! The reason why it is so intense is because it mimics the feeling of flying an F-14 fighter jet (sorry mom). It is also known for being an ear/head banging ride. For those of you who have earrings, let me give you a tip. Just take them off. It's okay, you can thank me later.
"Mom, guess what?"
"Oh no, what did you do today, honey?"
"Nothing too dangerous. I FINALLY know what it feels like to be inside an F-14 fighter jet."
As of now, Flight Deck is my favorite ride. It may be the scariest ride at Canada's Wonderland and I absolutely love it. It feels that much more extreme when my feet are swinging in the air.
Canada's Wonderland may be a place for kids, but it will always be a place for me when I'm in need of an adrenaline rush or when I feel like being a kid again. Here is a true testament to what I'm like even outside of Canada's Wonderland hahaha.
How convinced are you now?
Fionn is an adventure seeker that is attracted to danger. She is always on a mission to wander around the globe curiously. Whether it will be hiking to the bottom of Grand Canyon, swimming with whale sharks, or finishing the World's Toughest Mudder, she will always be there with her camera(s) in her hands, a smile on her face and butterflies in her stomach. Oh, and did she forget to mention that she is also a foreign Piña Colada drinker?

President Trump says he is unable to "speak to" North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's infamous legacy of mass executions, assassinations, and killings of his own people.
During a lengthy conversation with Fox & Friends, the president boasted of his meeting with Kim last week: "I got along with him great. We have a great chemistry together. That's a good thing."
Fox News host Steve Doocy asked: "What about the people he's killing?"
The president replied: "I can't speak to that. I can only speak to the fact that we signed an incredible agreement and it's great and going to be great for them too because now North Korea can develop and North Korea can become a great country economically."
Moments after ending the Fox News interview, Trump was asked by a media-scrum reporter: "How can [Kim] love his people if he's killing them?" The president once again replied: "I can't speak to that."

SnapMD Client Expands Reach of Health Services in Mississippi
A not-for-profit startup company is finding a niche in Mississippi, offering telemedicine services in a variety of underserved areas while crafting partnerships that link patients in rural areas with providers.
TeleHealthONE is the state's only private telemedicine company, and it's using a cloud-based product to link patients with providers, testing approaches that will enable healthcare to be provided in a variety of community settings.
David Powe, former chief administrative officer for the University of Mississippi Medical Center, is the CEO of the new company. He retired from the medical center in June 2013, but caught a vision for how telemedicine could bring care to underserved areas of the state.
"A lot of people today don't have primary care physicians, and they're using ERs to get primary care," Powe says. "With all the negative health indicators that we have in Mississippi, we're just trying to provide better access to healthcare and serve the needs of the population in a rural state."
TeleHealthONE is taking advantage of incentives intended to promote telemedicine initiatives in the state. At the urging of Gov. Phil Bryant, Mississippi recently enacted a law requiring health insurance plans to provide coverage for telemedicine services at the same level that the services would be covered if they were provided in person…

Have you ever seen a mind-blowing creative shot and wondered how the artist made the image? In this very informative 10-minute behind-the-scenes video, see how Alexis Cuarezma shot these creative portraits of professional boxer, Devon Lee.
In this weeks installment, it is the fourth in a 10-part series called "Breaking Down The Vision," where Cuarezma goes in depth on how he creates his favorite images, covering his lighting, camera settings, and thought process behind each piece of work. In this video, Cuazerma breaks down a multi-faceted project he was commissioned to do for Lee in the Team Watson Boxing Gym. For this project, not only was Cuazerma the creative photographer, but also the director for a music video. That being said, he had to shift his mindset and adapt to using a different setup that he wasn't used to — that being using continuous lighting to account for shooting photos and video.
In this image, see the settings and lighting that was used. As explained in the video, he wanted to create drama in the scene and implement the split color scheme. To accomplish this look, he placed a Par 3,200 K continuous light as a backlight that emitted a warm glow and highlighted the haze that filled the room. Next, a Joker 1600 light was placed overhead, which gave off a cold blue tone. Since Cuazerma was shooting video, he was shooting with only primes, and opted to open his aperture to f/2.8 which was against his normal routine of shooting at f/8 and above. All the effects he mentions were all created in camera which I thought was very inspiring and made me think about how I shoot my images.
If you want to see the rest of the series, be sure to check out his YouTube Channel for more inspiring videos each week.

As the Internet continues to grow in size and capability, many firms are implementing Web-based applications and Internet-derived economic change continues to occur. If this change is revolutionary, now or in the near future, then many managers will be required to rethink their firm strategies and managerial responses in a profound way. On the other hand, if the change is simply evolutionary, it will apply more to some firms than to others, and pre-Internet strategies and managerial responses will still be appropriate in many circumstances. While it is premature to categorize e-business as revolutionary, e-business is not a silver bullet, rather it will be a useful tool for some firms and some tasks. There are a number of key questions firm should ask in order to make sense of e-business.

During his six year tenure as Germany's president, Horst Koehler worked hard to put Africa on the top of Germany's political agenda. However, his surprise resignation may jeopardize the success of his African projects.
Koehler supported projects to foster connections between Germany and Africa
As the German president, Horst Koehler travelled the world. On state visits, people saw a president that was interested in different cultures and societies. But Koehler was always fond of one continent in particular: Africa. He did not overlook Africa's ills and when he described them, he did not mince his words either.
But with Koehler having left office, there is a looming danger that Africa will fall back to the bottom of the political agenda in Germany again. New German presidents usually do not continue projects started by their predecessors, because they want to set their own political focus. In this case, it likely won't include Africa.
That is a shame, say experts, because when it came to corruption, civil war or lack of political leadership, the former president said what he thought – even if he was addressing African heads of state at the African Union's assembly. At the same time, he did not ignore the many positive signs on the continent.
Koehler dances with Ghanian President John Agyekum Kufuor in 2007
"Civil society is growing across Africa. More and more people refuse to give in to their destinies. Farmers come together to buy fertilizer or to build wells. Civil society groups fight against corruption and put their governments to task. Women take the initiative to built schools or clinics for AIDS patients," Koehler once said in a speech.
Whether it was praise or criticism – Horst Koehler's main priority was to establish a dialogue of equals between Africans and Germans. In his first speech to parliament in July 2004, Koehler made it clear that Africa was a priority for him.
"It is my conviction that the humanity of our world will be measured against the fate of Africa," Koehler told members of Germany's lower house, the Bundestag.
IMF legacy troublesome at first
But most African leaders did not start cheering at his words right away.
"There were many people in Africa in the beginning that automatically identified Horst Koehler with the International Monetary Fund," said Ulf Engel, a scholar in the Africa Department of the University of Leipzig. Koehler had been at the helm of the International Monetary Fund until he was elected president.
The fund is notorious in Africa for Koehler's structural adjustment policies, cost-cutting measures aimed at reducing public debts. The IMF forced various African countries to introduce school fees or make visits to the hospital more expensive as part of structural adjustment. But Koehler soon managed to change his perception in Africa through his work.
Köhler visited a youth center in Rwanda in 2008
"He gained a lot of popularity in Africa when he started his 'Partnership with Africa' initiative," said Engel. Partnership with Africa was Koehler's pet project. It was his attempt to make a direct contribution to the establishment of a dialogue of equals in real life.
It wasn't just members of Germany's and Africa's political and business elite who discussed topics such as the difficult relationship between Africa and Europe or the challenges faced by Africa's youth. Promising young people known as "future leaders" from Africa and Germany also always sat at the table.
All words, no action?
Critics sometimes commented that the meetings were just another talking shop. They liked to complain that Africa did not need more words, but action. But as the University of Leipzig's Engel says, Koehler was able to consistently make a clear statement about the policies regarding Africa.
"Some politicians were clearly uncomfortable when he took a firm stand on issues that he felt the West needed to change. A reduction of subsidies for Western products for instance, or the need to take Africa seriously," Engel said.
Germany's constitution did not give Koehler much room to put his political ideas into practice. According to the law, the president has little political power. Instead, he had to use the power of words to influence German politics, and that power wasn't always enough.
"It's tragic that he did not manage to make politicians in Berlin listen to him," said Engel.

Current & Future EDE Programmes
What is an EDE (Ecovillage Design Education programme)?
Ecovillage Design Education programmes, often referred to as 'EDEs', take place in more than 43 countries in settings ranging from tribal and traditional communities to intentional ecovillages, from urban slum to universities and training centres. The duration of these programmes are around 125 hours over a full month, although this may vary slightly depending on where and when they are taken. The EDEs provide students of all ages with the knowledge and practical skills on how to design a society which uses energy and materials with greater efficiency, distributes wealth fairly and strives to eliminate the concept of waste.
Students become change agents and sustainability designers, taking active roles in transitioning their existing communities, institutions and neighbourhoods, to more sustainable patterns of production and consumption, as well as leading more joyful, meaningful and healthier lives.
How to run an EDE
Several of our EDE graduates have carried on organising EDE programmes in their local areas, and you are warmly encouraged to do so after completing your course.
The recommended time frame of an EDE is four weeks, however this is not fixed and varies with each individual programme.
The material can be condensed into smaller workshops, spread out over a longer period, or distributed in blocks at different times and locations.

Our Latest Realization
We are proud to present the Matisse Room, a marvelous gift to the sacred arts world, offered by the generosity of our President, Liana Marabini. It is a large space in the heart of the Vatican Museums that hosts an impressive permanent collection of huge drawings and vestments by Henri Matisse.
The gallery of modern religious art, located in the depths of the Vatican Museums in the apartments of Pope Alexander VI Borgia and the basement of the Sistine Chapel, contains many jewels. At the heart of this impressive collection, there is now a unique collection: the ensemble of the preparatory drawings by Henri Matisse made for the Chappelle du Rosaire in Vence, France. The Chappelle du Rosaire is the last and most important work of sacred art made by Matisse between 1950 and 1954 in which he designed the whole chapel: its architecture, paintings, stained glass windows, vestments, crucifix and altar.
The huge drawings were donated by the son of the artist, Pierre Matisse to the Vatican Museums in 1980. They remained in the storage until June 2011, when they have been gathered and exposed together in the new space called Matisse Room, situated between the Sixtine Chapel and the Paoline Chapel. The works of preparation of the Room took two years and the result is perfect. Our president, Liana Marabini and her generosity, made possible the realization of this permanent exhibition in the heart of the Vatican Museums. Her ties with the Vatican Museums are very strong: She is also president of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums (Monaco Chapter).
She presented the Matisse Room during a press conference with Antonio Paolucci (president of the Vatican Museums), Father Mark Haydu (international director of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums) and Micol Forti (curator of the Contemporary Art Collection in the Museums).
Speaking to the press, she said: "The Church is the biggest patron of the arts of all times. All of us, we have the duty and the moral obligation to thank her. Anyone must do something to help the Church to continue her work".

Kaley Cuoco and Lake Bell are getting animated in the DC Universe series "Harley Quinn," with Kaley voicing Quinn while Lake takes on Poison Ivy. The duo was with "Extra's" Renee Bargh Tuesday to give us all the scoop!
Kaley talked about her one-year wedding anniversary with husband Karl Cook, saying, "He bought me a beautiful ring and we ate Taco Bell… We had Taco Bell for dinner and the most amazing bottle of red wine." She clarified, "Meatless Taco Bell — all beans."
As for life after "The Big Bang Theory," the star is keeping busy with projects like "Harley." She said it hasn't really hit the wall yet. "This would be our summer hiatus anyway, so it feels kind of normal that we wouldn't talk. Usually, we go our different directions and, 'I will see you in August,' so I think when that starts to come around, I will be like, 'OMG, I'm not seeing them again.' It will hit me a little more."
She hasn't kept in touch with her castmates, but shared, "The next month or so, the texts will come in: 'Awww, we're supposed to be at our table read today.'" After 12 years together, she explained, "It's like family."
Updating Renee on her latest animal adventures, Kaley said, "We rescued a mini dwarf goat. We adopted him, and he is the most delicious thing in the world."
Lake is an animal lover as well, saying, "I rescued a puppy… a pit dachshund."
The two said they loved working on "Harley Quinn." Kaley said, "It's been a f--king blast." Lake added, "You show up in sweatpants, you curse all day long." Kaley interjected, "Fight, kick ass." She went on, "This show has been so psychotically awesome, I don't know how else to describe it."
The women don't exactly work together. Lake said, "We have to act with each other and improvise with each other, but we're never in the same room." Kaley explained, "We're all alone in the booths." Kaley takes on her ex, the Joker, in the series, saying, "It starts out with this relationship of her trying to get out… Then, you know, a few episodes later, she falls back in." She said with a smile, "It's weirdly realistic."
"Harley Quinn" premieres on DC Universe in October.

Three tries in the last 10 minutes of the game guided South Africa to a 28-10 victory over Australia in the Rugby Championship.
© Getty Images
The Springboks used their power in the early stages of the game and Marcell Coetzee was able to go over the tryline in the 13th minute following a breakdown of a maul from a line-out on the Australian five-yard line.
The visitors hit back with a penalty as Bernard Foley fired his kick between the posts, and it got better for the Wallabies when they took the lead on an incisive breakaway as Ashley Cooper touched down in the corner.
South Africa managed to regain their composure in the second half and they drew within two points of the Aussies as they won a penalty from a ruck, which Handre Pollard lifted over from close range.
The Springboks pressured Australia throughout the second half but couldn't find a way through the solid backline until Pat Lambie showed great touch and accuracy to put a drop-goal through the posts and give his side the lead.
The floodgates soon opened as the home side dominated the final seven minutes of the match. Jan Serfontein broke with speed upfield and released Cornal Hendricks, who in turn found Jannie du Plessis. The second row offloaded to his skipper Jean De Villiers, who went over for the score.
Australia tried to rally and got the ball back into the South Africa half, only to be hit on the break again. This time Lambie went himself and faked the offload before powering over the line.
The Springboks ended the game in style when De Villiers scored his second try of the match with a surging run to the corner, while Lambie added the conversion.

The news just keeps getting better.
What will have to happen is a complete restructuring of the generous pensions afforded municipal workers. Soon there will be no pensions even in the public sector. What will be left are 401(k) plans where the average person will never be able to save enough to retire. That will cause the workforce to explode with more and more people vying for the same limited employment opportunities. These two factors will force wages down even further. Wake up America before its too late.

Opportunity Cropping Up in Monsanto
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
FOR THE PAST FEW WEEKS, investors and traders have actively bought upside calls on Monsanto (ticker: MON) and Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan (POT), two of the world's top agricultural companies.
Some of the interest is attributable to investors using options, instead of stocks, to maintain exposure to the stock market. Others are attracted because Monsanto has outperformed the Standard & Poor's 500 index by 30% so far in 2009, and its sector benchmark, the Standard & Poor's materials sector by 20%.
Now, investors face an important data point in the agriculture trading cycle. Monsanto reports fiscal second-quarter earnings Thursday before the market opens. Options trading is already turning a bit defensive as the stock trades down, indicating investors are interested in protecting their gains in Monsanto rather than rolling the dice that the stock trades higher on earnings.
Analysts expect Monsanto will report earnings per share of $2.08, compared with a record $1.79 in the year-ago period. Monsanto's EPS estimates have, however, been revised lower in the past month to $2.08 from $2.12.
Goldman Sachs advised clients early Wednesday to buy "put spreads" just in case Monsanto's stock declines on earnings news.
"With shares up 18% in 2009 and significantly outperforming both materials peers, and the broader market, we would hedge risks ahead of earnings," Goldman's options strategists, John Marshall and Stuart Kaiser, said. They told clients to consider buying the April 80 put, and selling the April 70 put to create a put spread.
Robert Koort, Goldman's agriculture analyst, rates Monsanto at Neutral due to potential risks ahead of earnings from market-share losses and pricing pressures as farmers are increasingly cost conscious, which creates opportunities for generic products to win business from Monsanto.
The implied volatility of Monsanto's options has increased ahead of the earnings report, which is why Marshall and Kaiser like using a put spread to lower the cost of the hedge. Monsanto's one-month volatility is about 60%, and has increased about eight points since the beginning of the week. Realized volatility is at 60%.
The put spread will protect stock against a decline of 4% to 16%. Based on implied volatility, the stock is expected to move up or down by 8%, compared with an eight-quarter median move of 6%.
Consider options the financial equivalent of Monsanto's Roundup herbicides. A well-reasoned hedge will keep weeds from strangling stock performance.

Everyone, please introduce yourselves by name and affiliation - OLGA (recovering gamer) or Olg-Anon (family member).
Example: " Hi my name is Aaron, I am an gaming addict."
Everyone say hi!
*Our Mission:
On-Line Gamers Anonymous is a fellowship of people sharing their experience, strength and hope to help each other recover and heal from the problems resulting from excessive game playing.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gaming.
Our primary purpose is to abstain from gaming and to help others find freedom from gaming addiction.
Who wishes to read 1) the serenity prayer?
GOD, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living ONE DAY AT A TIME;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop gaming.
Our primary purpose is to abstain from gaming and to help others find freedom from gaming addiction.
Who would like to read 2) "How it Works"?
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.
Those who do not recover are people who cannot or will not completely give themselves to this simple program, usually men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves.
There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average.
There are those, too, who suffer from grave emotional and mental disorders,
but many of them do recover if they have the capacity to be honest.
Our stories disclose in a general way what we used to be like, what happened,
and what we are like now.
If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it then you are ready to take certain steps.
At some of these we balked. We thought we could find an easier, softer way.
But we could not.
With all the earnestness at our command, we beg of you to be fearless and thorough from the very start. Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let go absolutely. Remember that we deal with obsessive gaming – cunning, baffling and powerful! Without help it is too much for us.
But there is One who has all power – that one is God. May you find Him now!
Half measures availed us nothing. We stood at the turning point.
We asked His protection and care with complete abandon.
Here are the steps and principles we took, which are suggested as a program of recovery:
Step 1. We admitted we were powerless over gaming, and that our lives have become unmanageable.
Principles - Honesty and Acceptance
Step 2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Principle - Hope
Step 3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understood Him.
Principle - Faith
Step 4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Principles - Action and Courage
Step 5. Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
Principle - Integrity
Step 6. Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Principle - Willingness
Step 7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Principle - Humility
Step 8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Principle - Brotherly love
Step 9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure, them or others.
Principle - Justice
Step 10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
Principle - Perseverance
Step 11. Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Principle - Spirituality.
Step 12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to other compulsive gamers and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Principle – Service
Many of us exclaimed, "What an order! I can't go through with it."
Do not be discouraged. No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these principles. We are not saints.
The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines.
The principles we have set down are guides to progress.
We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection.
Our description of the obsessive gamer,
and our personal adventures before and after make clear three pertinent ideas:
(a) That we were obsessive gamers and could not manage our own lives.
(b) That probably no human power could have relieved our obsessive gaming.
(c) That God could and would, if He were sought.
The 12 Steps were created so we don't kill ourselves.
We also have the 12 Traditions, so we don't kill each other.
Who would like to read 3) the 12 Traditions?
1. Our common welfare should come first; personal recovery depends upon OLGA/OLG-Anon unity.
2. For our group purpose there is but one ultimate authority - a loving God as He may express Himself in our group conscience. Our leaders are but trusted servants; they do not govern.
3. The only requirement for OLGA/OLG-Anon membership is a desire to stop excessive game playing.
4. The group should be autonomous except in matters affecting other groups or OLGA/OLG-Anon as a whole.
5. The group has but one primary purpose-to carry its message to the obsessive gamer who still suffers.
6. The OLGA/OLG-Anon group ought never endorse, finance or lend the OLGA/OLG-Anon name to any related facility or outside enterprise,
lest problems of money, property and prestige divert us from our primary purpose.
7. The OLGA/OLG-Anon group ought to be fully self-supporting, declining outside contributions.
8. On-Line Gamers Anonymous should remain forever nonprofessional,
but we may employ special workers as needed.
9. OLGA/OLG-Anon., as such, ought never be organized;
but we may create service boards or committees directly responsible to those they serve.
10. On-Line Gamers Anonymous has no opinion on outside issues;
hence the OLGA/OLG-Anon name ought never be drawn into public controversy.
11. Our public relations policy is based on attraction rather than promotion;
we need always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio and films.
12. Anonymity is the spiritual foundation of all our traditions,
ever reminding us to place principles before personalities.
Who would like the read 4) the 12 Rewards we receive by following the 12-steps into our real lives:
1. Hope instead of desperation.
2. Faith instead of despair.
3. Courage instead of fear.
4. Peace of mind instead of confusion.
5. Self-respect instead of self-contempt.
6. Self-confidence instead of helplessness.
7. The respect of others instead of their pity and contempt.
8. A clean conscience instead of a sense of guilt.
9. Real friendships instead of fake friendships with make-believe pixels.
10. A clean pattern of life instead of a purposeless existence.
11. The love and understanding of our families instead of their doubts and fears.
12. The freedom of a happy life instead of the bondage of gaming obsession.

Those who would like, please join us in saying the Lord's Prayer:
Our Father, Who art in heaven.
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
Now and forever. Amen
2) Alternative Prayer (Closing)
Higher Power, help me to stay free. For this next twenty-four-hour period, take from me any urge to game. With Your help, I'll be free: Action for the Day Today, I'll think about my obsessive gaming. Only in this kind of reliance on a Higher Power will I find my own transformation.
3) Just For Today (Closing)
Just for today my thoughts will be on my recovery, living and enjoying life without the use of gaming.
Just For Today (Refrain)
Just for today I will have faith in someone in OLGA who believes in me and wants to help me in my recovery.
Just For Today
Just for today I will have a program. I will try to follow it to the best of my ability.
Just For Today
Just for today through OLGA I will try to get a better perspective on my life.
Just For Today
Just for today I will be unafraid, my thoughts will be on my new associations, people who are not gaming and who have found a new way of life. So long as I follow that way, I have nothing to fear.
Just For Today
Keep coming back. It works, if you work it!
You are welcome to stay after and chat.

When you teach ESL, there are several barriers between you and your student. The obvious one is the language barrier. That's not what I'm talking about here. The word "understand" in the title is not referring to understanding pronunciation, spelling, or grammar.
This post is about how ESL teachers often have difficulty understanding the motivations, attitudes, goals, and struggles of their students. I'm not trying to attack anyone, and these might not be true for everybody. But if you read one and say "oh shoot, that's me!", then you've got some things to think about.

Wow! We had some unbelievable disc art submissions for 2019! Thank you to everyone who submitted art. Please continue to do so in the future, it is so awesome. We decided to pick 3 different designs because they were so cool! For the 2019 100 mold from Discovering The World, Raphael Legrand's Deck of Cards King Brain was selected (if you went to Jam Britannia you know!). For the FPA 2019 Discraft Skystyler, David Bolyard's World Peace design was selected! Congrats to both of you and the FPA for being the recipient of your generous creations!
We have selected art for a potential disc run for the World Urban Games and are waiting for approval from the organizers to do so. The art is a great match for these games and it is sure to be a collectors item.
Become an FPA member and purchase these discs at a discount from Wrightlife (US) or Jakub (Europe). The 100 molds are currently available at The Wrightlife and the FPA 2019 Skystylers will be available by Frisbeer at both places (scheduled for production for February 4th). The World Urban Games disc will be announced and made available at a future date if approved.
Huge thanks to Discraft for sponsoring the FPA with the Skystylers and Discovering the World for the 100-molds. Please, support those companies with purchasing their products if you have the chance.


text: Would you? Could you? Under what circumstances would you? I am going through a freak of time right now. While married to my previous husband him and I had two children. After the first, our relationship became a nightmare. So we got pregnant again and I decided adoption would be the only answer. I am very particular in how I believe a child should be raised and although I love mothering it is very hard for me cause I had a shitty mom. No way would I bring a child into a hell storm of a house and expect them to have any chance at life. So, my daughter found me on facebook appx a month ago. WOW - what a surprise. So as we are chatting and getting to know each other I soon find out she is living in the very situation I tried to protect her from. Her Mom is very verbally abusive to her. So in short she is coming to live with us. :? :?

We are pleased to announce the recent publication by Dr. med. Guido Freckmann from Institut für Diabetes-Technologie Forschungs- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH at the University in Ulm. This publication detailed the performance of our device which was presented at ADA 9th Scientific Sessions in San Francisco in June 2019.
The aim of the study was to assess the measurement accuracy of our NIGM prototype system in a mixed in clinic/outpatient setup, where the data from the last in-clinic visit was blinded prospective independent validation.
Comparable Results to Contemporary CGM
Outpatient mean ARD ranged from 8.0% to 26.2% for Freestyle Libre (FL) (mean: 16.1%) and from 9.1% to 26.9% for RSP prototype (mean:20.2%). In-clinic MARD ranged from 13.7% to 45.3% for FL (mean 23.3%) and from 19.8% to 36.0% for our prototype device (mean 25.5%).
"This is an important step further, to realise our goal to provide an innovative non-invasive glucose monitor", said Stefan Ovesen Banke, CTO of RSP Systems.
