While some parents may balk at putting their kids into competitive situations, it has been consistently argued that competition is good for children. Among other things, it helps to build confidence, perseverance and self-belief, and can be great for boosting a child';s self-esteem. Competition at an early age can also help prepare kids for the inherent competency of adult life, in both their professional and personal relationships.
That';s why it';s a good idea for parents to encourage the competitive spirit in their children. While excessive competitiveness can of course be bad for both your child and kids around them, a healthy focus on competition will help kids to learn what it is that makes someone a good competitor and enable them to develop the good habits that will serve them well in later life. Encouraging the competitive spirit is as much about promoting fair play, honesty and integrity as it is about helping them win, and can generally help build a child';s character.
But what are the best ways to encourage competitiveness, and are some children just not suited to traditionally competitive activities? Obviously, getting your child involved with sports is one of the most effective ways to engender the competitive spirit. Not only does it keep your child fit while giving them an opportunity to make friends, it also introduces them to the principle of driving for success and the sense of achievement that comes with winning.
What';s great about sport is that there are so many different options for kids, from team sports like football or rugby to more individual pursuits such as swimming or martial arts. Both types bring unique benefits. Team games emphasize the importance of teamwork, good communication and working for others, while individual activities help kids to develop self-control, discipline and focus. Martial arts also often encourage participation regardless of ability and are a more accessible option for non-sporty kids.
Of course, some children will rebel at the idea of doing sports and it may be counter-productive to force them into it. Fortunately, many other activities contain a competitive element and can easily be integrated into your domestic life. Board and card games, for instance, put the focus on a battle of wits and can help to show kids that success is not just a case of being faster or stronger than someone else. Introducing them to an activity like chess is a particularly good idea, as it helps to develop skills such as patience and forward planning as well as honoring their competitive edge.
All in all, healthy encouragement of the competitive spirit can have a positive impact on your child and will aid many aspects of their development. While it may take a bit of work finding the perfect activity for them, there are so many different options out there that something is bound to suit their personality. And of course, the best thing you can do is set a good example for your kids by displaying the competitive spirit in your own life and through your own behavior.

He could sing like a girl, and he could sing like a frog. That latter trademark croak, utilized to the max on his 1956 debut smash "Ain't Got No Home," earned good-natured Clarence Henry his nickname and jump-started a rewarding career that endured for over 40 years around the Crescent City. Naturally, Fats Domino and Professor Longhair were young Clarence Henry's main influences while growing up in the Big Easy. He played piano and trombone with Bobby Mitchell & the Toppers fr...

Miss Consultant's poor benighted secretary, a cross between an angel, a slave and wikipedia, got back to me yesterday. Guess what Miss Consultant wants me to do?
Because I'm seeing her on the 25th and what's two more weeks?
Well, for starters, if she'd got back to me when I first asked, it'd've been four weeks and pretty much enough time for another whole cycle, but never mind. It's not like I've spent the two weeks I've been begging for her attention filling in IVF paperwork or any other little thing like that that concentrates the mind WONDERFULLY.
It's not that I want to not do IVF, not that I'm hugely keen on needles and bloating. But I did want to give Clomid a proper actual try, you know, with several goes and a possibility of it working properly on account of my actually ovulating, before I jogged on to the next task in this giant game of Myst, Infertile Island Edition.
Because Clomid worked before (Hah. See? These infertility doctors are infecting me with their jargon. 'Worked' indeed). And if all the matter is, is I can't ovulate or, at least, can't ovulate in a timely fashion and before the given egg has been boiled hard in a soup of estrogen and LH, then surely Clomid is the answer. Therefore the thing to do is get me to ovulate before the end of the third week of the cycle, several cycles in a row. And then panic and bring on the needles. Surely. And all this fucking about waiting for clinic appointments because my consultant 'doesn't do' calling back, is a complete waste of time.
Incidentally, H was on an IVF message board earlier this week (no, I had no idea, this was his own spontaneous action, and I was so startled at the information I think I forgot to be touched and delighted), and Miss Consultant apparantly has rather a reputation for being inaccessible and not answering her patients' calls.
Dear Christ in heaven, why me?
In other Fairly Major News, my FIL had open-heart surgery today. He seems to have come through it fine, and they didn't have to replace anything with metal or pig-parts, which was a worry and is a bonus (I mean, my MIL is an insomniac as it is – imagine asking the poor woman to sleep next to a man who clanks all night). He's still sedated in Intensive Care (normal after a heart op), so we have to wait, wait, waitwaitwaitwaitwait, until tomorrow to get a proper update. H is like a cat in a rocking-chair factory, poor lamb. Think happy thoughts for H's Dad, and H's Mum, and grandparents, and brother, and for H too, please, dear internets.


text: Boruto eats with Shikadai, and sketches what the possessing spectre looked like to him. The two speculate why it's possessing people, its purpose, and why only Boruto can see it. Sarada complains about the boys to Chōchō and Sumire. They're spied on by someone. The three share their concerns with the other girls. The boys overhear them, but don't think it's related to the shadow spectre. The girls take an alley after Chōchō buys chips, and manage to capture their stalker. The boys hear screaming and rush there. Chōchō recognises their stalker as Magire Kakuremino, from another class. Shikadai checks with Boruto if he's possessed, Boruto confirming he's not. They question why he's following Chōchō, but he reveals it's Sumire he's following, having a crush on her. Chōchō encourages Magire to confess his feelings to Sumire. He does, but Sumire rejects him, and he leaves hurt. During class, someone leaves a message to Sumire in the blackboard. Mitsuki asks around, and finds out Magire didn't go to class that day. Several notes for Sumire fall over the group. The boys and girls are separated by a metal wall in the Academy. The girls hide in a storage room, but someone knocks over smoke bombs. Sumire opens the door to clear the smoke, and gets separated from Chōchō and Sarada. Denki arrives, asking if she's ok, and gets knocked out by Magire. They boys reach them, and all of them get to Sumire and Magire on the roof. Boruto notices the shadow possessing Magire. Magire disguises himself and starts attacking. Chōchō admonishes his way of getting attention from Sumire, and tells him to better himself. She offers him chips. The shadow leaves Magire, who breaks down crying. Magire gets gaunt and faints. The boys talk over food, speculating Magire got weaker due to chakra exhaustion. Shikamaru delivers Naruto a report suggesting the same. At night, Mitsuki communicates with someone about Boruto's findings.

The Great Migration is a unique event on earth for wildlife lovers, to experience it with Wild Eye makes it even more special.
3 years ago Tristan and I met for the first time the Wild Eye team while we joined the 6 days Great Migration. It was such a great experience, that this year we decided to go for the extended one and everything was just awesome!
Since we're used to travel often in Africa, when I got back home, people were curious to know whether we've seen or experienced something new. What came into my mind were two highlights:
- We've seen our very first caracals, 2 youngsters but they were so shy that we hardly got a shot, but doesn't matter, we were like happy kids!
- A 2 hours crossing that we witnessed! It was so intense, my heart was beating so hard that in the end we thought we were there only for 15 minutes!! Approx. 10 thousands beasts crossed that time. It was classic!
Of course, those highlights are just a couple in so many others.
We've been lucky seeing leopards 8 days out of 10, the famous Scar, cheetahs, hyenas, lions. Pretty "insane" numbers of animals and sightings. Every single day was unique and full of emotions, we would be sensitive while witnessing crocs taking down wildebeests or zebras and the minute after over-excited watching lions hunting.
It was just mind blowing!
From a photographic point of view, we had in mind to play with various settings such as:
Slow motion
High Key
Multiple Exposures
What we appreciated a lot is that we could spend the whole day out in the field. No constraint to get back to camp to eat, or rest. When sightings were plentiful or crossings were building up, we just stayed out there until sunset.
Back in the camp, the day went on with a drink and gathering all in the media tent, editing pictures with the great support of Andrew and Gerry. 🙂 Those guys are really amazing, helpful, very knowledgeable and available 24-7! Thanks again…
Such a trip is all about sharing experience, enjoying the atmosphere like around the fire place, appreciating every single moment and also special one like the Masai evening.
We are used to travel on our own, with a 4×4 in the wild, far from any civilisation. But I must admit that when it comes to organised trip, Wild Eye is just the company to go with…
That trip was one of those experiences that made us feel alive.

Unfortunately, the price of a bottle of Spitfire ale is considerably more than the charge on the door so after one I decide to knock the drinking on the head for the night - pity there is no Wetherspoon's nearby. If I had a bit more time I might have popped into the nearby World's End though. In spite of the great location and dirt cheap door price the venue isn't as busy as I'd have expected on a Saturday night - several people I know were supposedly attending don't show - their loss as it was a great value for money bill. The place is probably less than half full, but there are enough people present to provide some atmosphere.
So I arrive at The Silver Bullet to find Stereo Juggernaut have just started their set. Only Ben on guitar/vox and Reuben on drums remain of the original band from several years ago. The keyboard/samples/laptop player has been replaced by a second guitarist. As a result the band now sound much harder and heavier - the commercial edge to the sound has gone and these days Stereo Juggernaut are far more of a metal band - although Reuben was always a great metal drummer. I do prefer the more 'live' sound of the band these days.
The other band tonight is Star Scream. Like the previous band I have seen them before, but that was a few years ago - I'm sure there were more than three people in the band back then and the bass player has changed. Former King Lizard drummer Sky London is now on kit bashing duties at the band. The band are giving their new video 'Death Shower Scene' tonight at the gig and are making an effort to put on a good show for the people who turn up tonight. Some thought has obviously gone into this and the bass player has a fantastic look.
Star Scream put on a good performance and there is some stage presence as well as some catchy cyber/punk/goth songs. Unfortunately, like the previous band they suffer from a less than clear sound mix although it seems to matter less in Star Scream's case as they seem to rely more on a laptop for some of their sound and the guitar and bass aren't loud enough to be able to really hear what's going on.

UK internet service provider (ISP) TalkTalk has used the national media to advertise its latest wireless broadband deal.
The broadband provider has promoted its TalkTalk Essentials broadband package, which offers download speeds of up to 24Mb, in the Metro newspaper.
Consumers are currently able to gain access to 40GB download allowance for just £6.99 per month, plus £11.49 line rental.
They also receive a free wireless broadband router, enabling subscribers to access the internet from any room within their home or out in the garden.
"Plus, more than one computer can connect to your broadband at once - making it perfect for families," the ISP stated.
Consumers are also able to adopt the TalkTalk package on a 30-day trial, meaning they can cancel their contract after the initial month if they are dissatisfied with their customer experience.
TalkTalk recently announced plans to open a new retail outlet in London, following its demerger from parent company Carphone Warehouse.

Lily, the autonomous camera drone that sold a whopping$34 million in preorders, has announced it is shutting down.
In an email sent to customers about an hour ago, the startup said that it was unable to raise an additional round of funding which would have allowed itto start production of the drone. So itannounced instead that itwill be winding down the company, and offering an automatic refund to all preorder customers.
From the email:
At the same time, we have been racing against a clock of ever-diminishing funds. Over the past few months, we have tried to secure financing in order to unlock our manufacturing line and ship our first units but have been unable to do this. As a result, we are deeply saddened to say thatwe are planning to wind down the company and offer refunds to customers.
Lilys demise has been a slow one. The startup had delayed shipping multiple times before, first to summer 2016 and then to early 2017. Itdid raise a$14M Series A rounda year agofrom high profile investors like SV Angel, Spark Capital, Steve Aoki and Joe Montana that was supposed to help get its dronesto production.
Lily was one of the first autonomous AI-assisted camera drones ever announced, and was supposed to revolutionize the personal cameradrone industry. But in the time it took Lilyto ship, others drones like Hover hit the market, and DJI developedautonomous flight modes forthe Phantom and Inspire (and now Mavic),arguably the three best drones on the market.
While itwasnt able to ship in quantity, Lily was able to produce prototypes, and even start a beta program so customers could test its hardware in the wild.Part of this timeline was shared by the company, with the latest schedule showing the drone readyto enter mass production in mid-November 2016 and the first devicesbeing delivered a few weeks ago in mid-December 2016. But it seems that instead of pushing back the date yet again, the company decided that there was no sustainable path forward without another infusion of capital.
About two months ago TechCrunch learned that Snapchat was in early stage talks to potentially acquire the struggling camera company, but that didnt come to fruition.
In its email to customers, the startup said it will issue an automatic refund to customers within the next 60 days theresa special form to fill out if the card used to preorder has sinceexpired. This wording makes it seem like customers will receive 100 percent refunds for their preorder commitments, but weve reached out to Lily to confirm this.
A high-profile shutdown likethis certainly isnt going to make it easier for hardware startups to win over early adopters and backers online. However, it seems that in this case the startup decided to sacrifice investors capital in order to issue full refunds which willcertainly help appease the disappoint of backers.

ISELIN, N.J. (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Bio-Technology General Corp. shot up 34 percent Tuesday after the company posted higher first-quarter earnings that outpaced Wall Street's estimates.
Bio-Technology General BTGC said its profit totaled $9.5 million, or 17 cents a share. The biopharmaceutical company was expected to earn only 7 cents a share, according to the First Call/Thomson Financial survey of two analysts who cover the company.
In the year-ago period, Bio-Technology General earned $1.1 million, or 2 cents a share.
Shares closed up $1.69 to $6.74 on volume of about 2.24 million.
Revenue leaped 101 percent to $34 million from about $17 million in the first quarter of 2000.
Of that, product sales surged 139 percent to $30 million from to $13 million. Product sales in the first quarter of 2001 accounted for 89 percent of revenue.
Most of the increase reflected the initial impact of the company's alliance with Abbott Laboratories marketing Oxandrin, a drug developed to promote weight gain following surgery, Bio-Technology General said. It said it's looking forward to seeing additional growth in Oxandrin sales as its alliance takes full effect.
"We are highly encouraged by the marked increase in product sales in the first quarter of 2001, and in particular by the significant growth in Oxandrin prescriptions," Chairman Sim Fass said in a statement.
Based on the company's earnings this quarter, Bio-Technology believes that earnings per share growth will be between 25 and 30 percent in 2001, excluding one-time items.

A new way to print and paint…on fabric!
Dying fabric is an ancient artistic practice that is very popular today. In this class, you will be instructed in two traditional methods: the first is how to safely and carefully make a tie dyed piece of fabric (or a shirt, etc.) and the second is how to use a djanting tool and brush using a wax resist to create a batik! Both methods are easy for beginners and can be practiced at home. Beautiful dyed fabric examples from around the world will be shared with the class and everyone will enjoy a few hours of fun with gorgeous colorful fabrics.

Of course you all know that I created a protocol for Bill, my husband, to heal his body of throat cancer. As I continue to research ways to return his body to health I always come back to Dr. Morse and his methods of healing.
I'll always be a student and love my books. I love reading, learning and finding ways to help people but it's all been so complicated when it came to retaining the information. Each time I'd find something I wanted to learn more in depth it wouldn't stick and I'd return to my search for the "right" thing. I'd know it when I found it (for the 100th time) and "it" seems to be Dr. Morse's healing methods because I keep circling back to his teachings which make so much sense.
One of the biggest difficulties is to just keep it simple and work with nature. We have to free ourselves from the detailed intellectualism that fills our minds and doesn't allow us to shut off the world and BE. We are here to enjoy our experience of being a soul in a physical body. Healing is done in the mind, body and soul and can be no other way. When we heal one we must find the healing balance with the others or we haven't healed at all.
I urge each one of you to watch as much of this video as you can and keep your healing simple.
Godspeed my friends.

Web Abstract:
This paper discusses the policy and political issues surrounding school construction, and it illustrates how infrastructure banks would work to address this challenge. The paper explores the problems of overcrowding and crumbling schools, details the struggle many communities and States have in expanding their efforts to solve these problems, and reviews the policy and political issues within the current school construction debate. The author argues for the establishment of State or regional school construction infrastructure banks to help capitalize and leverage State and local resources and ensure customization and flexibility for the variety of schools that exist. The paper also explains how school infrastructure banks are the most efficient vehicle that the federal government can use to empower States and communities to address their new facilities issues. The report includes 14 endnotes.

Developer Rare has been revealing new details about their upcoming See Of Thieves game through short development diaries. This time the developer has shared another development diary that focuses on building Sea Of Thieves outposts.
Sea Of Thieves outposts can be found in the game and players can also build one if they so desire. In this development diary, we see the game beyond the ships.
In the video, Environment Artist Joe Bradford details the mechanics behind the Sea Of Thieves outposts and the challenges. According to Bradford, the real challenge to create an outpost is to make it clear and easy for the player to navigate.
Previously, Rare shared another development diary that focused on the islands in the game. In the video level art lead, Darren Nourish, and environment artist, Joachim Coppens, discussed the islands within the Sea Of Thieves, their designs and more.
Furthermore, Rare's Mike Chapman discussed the progression system in Sea Of Thieves along with the character customization. He revealed that these systems are quite detailed and give players an array of choices it terms of character customization.
He further added that players will also be able to upgrade and customize their ships. One of the most exciting features about the game is playing on someone else's ship. This allows you to see the choices they made and how they are progressing.
He also revealed that players will not be forced to play in large groups and players have the choice to play as they want.
Sea Of Thieves is an action-adventure MMO in development at Rare and will launch in 2017 exclusively for PC and Xbox One.

There's no doubt that Yohan Cabaye leaving in January and not being replaced has adversely affected Newcastle's season, and it also hasn't helped that two of our very best remaining players – Mathieu Debuchy and Loic Remy – last played when they represented France in the 2-0 win against Holland on March 5th, and both are still expected to be out for the next couple of weeks. 🙁
Yohan Cabaye was brilliant at Newcastle
He improved so much that's a good message to other transfer targets
When Yohan Cabaye arrived at Newcastle in June of 2011 from Lille for just over £4M, he hadn't been capped by France, and when he left in January, he had played 26 times for them with two goals and had become one of their very best players.
And in the crucial second leg tie against Ukraine last November, after they had lost the first leg 2-0, he was the Man of the Match and put in a superb performance to get France through to the World Cup finals in the 3-0 win.
So in the summer, when Newcastle are trying to persuade some young play-makers to join the club – what happened to Cabaye on Tyneside can only help us in the transfer market.
Alan Pardew has said Cabaye will be replaced in the summer:
"It's fair to say that the transfer made it harder to qualify for Europe – and I don't think anyone would disagree with that – because we couldn't replace him." "But that doesn't mean to say we can't replace him in the summer."
"We know we have got good players here, but we do need that controller of the ball, that maneuverer, that clever player, and we will get one in the summer, for sure."
Clement Grenier of Lyon was one player we tried to get in January to replace Cabaye – and we'll probably go after him again this summer – and he would be a terrific replacement – and the lad only turned 23 in January.
Who are the other play-makers we should be after in the summer?
Comments welcome.
Note: Sean Borland is a student in Newcastle and will not be at either the Man United (5 April) or Swansea (19 April) games – and he has tickets – £30 for the ManU game and £20 for the Swansea game – you can contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com or sean4eva09 on twitter.

whoever replaces cabaye .. firstly needs good atttacking skills .. Grenier has this .. then they need to defend from the front .. just like Cabaye .. I'm not sure if grenier can do this ..
I just hope we get the players that we need and get them in early.
I hope we get Fofana (cover for Tiote)
Young top centre back
Sadio Mane
Batshuiyi and Bony
Cabaye replacement will be someone who has a clause in his contract or is an unknown entity that has potential, rest of signings will be of Gouff or Amalfitano (or whatever his name is ) standard.
Gouff is a workhorse who will score a few goals whereas Amalfitano wasn't up to scratch
I can't see the leopard changing his spots based on the last 5 years evidence so not sure why people keep making wish lists of players they would like signed.
In reality we all know we're fighting the likes of Villa, Everton, Stoke for players
just looking at the league table .. a win tonight and we can push for Europa .. I'm sure theres a few players who do want it .. nevermind Pardew .. with the correct investment Europa shouldn't harm your league .. what you need is a squad or players not just a first 11 .. that was our problem last year
1. I anticipate 3 signings: 1 CM, 1 youngster, 1 loan striker.
2. Due contracts will be renewal offers for less money, short-term.
3. As long as we stay above relegation spots, that's fine.
4. Ashley can then spend in January if he needs to, to keep us up.
I agree with none of the four points above but this is the way the club is being run now.
btw it's amazing the ambition of Benteke how he's happy to turn up week-in, week-out for a poor team. How long can that last?
no reason we shouldn't be competing with players everton are linked with .. they've no money themselves .. some of the players being tauted to them are top drawer .. newcastle should be a bigger pull that Everton/Villa/Southampton etc .. the fans, the stadium etc .. unless one of them teams is in the champions league we should be the front runners..
Greebol1892 .. we all know this going to be the case but I hope somehow that the 80 mill + cabaye and fans stopping season tickets make ashley spend at least 40-50 mill on transfers which means we should have a formidable squad .. if we got the right players we'd be pushing top six as long as the spine isn't changed to much .. be I do fear if we lose Tiote/Debuchy .. to injury or being sold .. I think we need apure DM to back up Tiote/ Fofana is a must for me alongside the crying need for 2+ stikers, attacking midfield, winger and CB cover, the CB must be good in the air, strong and have good positional sense
I don't normally predict scores but I expect a tight game. With no Remy or Cabaye, I don't think we have any great outlets in an attacking sense so there are none of our players to be especially fearful of. An on-form Sissoko, Goofy, HBA or Cisse could change that though.
I'll go for a 1-1 draw.
We're in the PL and are currently ranked the 8th best team, which is about right. We have some top players and can surely expect more to arrive in the summer, plus we have some exciting youngsters coming through soon we hope. But most importantly, this is Newcastle United we're talking about…I didn't start to support the club because we were winning loads of trophies or because we were in the CL, I started to support the club because of the great spirit and passion around the club for football, because the fans would get behind their representatives on the pitch and because the stadium was loud and passionate with the crowd willing their team on to perform.
Now, this blog is mostly full of posts with people slagging off our owner, manager or squad and general doom and gloom.
I'll take 8th place and a transfer window where we should sign several players, it's you miserable types who put a downer on the season.
Id like to see Cabella replace Cabaye but there are many other clever midfielders around, and not just in France they should widen their net a bit, as regards a striker I haven't seen much better than Bony. I think we should go for him he's as good as Remy or could be in a better team…. we also need a good centre back and maybe a full back. Dummetts not good enough in my opinion. Santon should be in the side in the right position (not necessarily full back) as he is technically very good and the lad likes Newcastle and the area; sounds committed .

*Haul incredibly heavy and awkward mountain of stinky things to the basement.
*Separate and chuck as much as possible into the washing machine and add soap.
*Quickly leave basement to go do other pressing projects, i.e surf the web, drink a cup of tea, or day dream about wearing a bikini again sometime in this lifetime.
*Hours later, head down to basement to move laundry.
*Open washer to see all kinds of weird grey and white gelatinous material everywhere.
*Find what's left of the nappy you had forgotten to take out of Bubba-Love's pajamas.
*Throw it all in the dryer in hopes that you won't break the machine you just got fixed and that said dryer will suck off all the weird gelatinous bits as the laundry dries.
*When the laundry is finally dry, remove all articles and shake hard.
Voila, il neige!
I highly recommend you do this with a dark load for the ultimate experience. Trust me.

No Pain No Gain
It came into prominence after 1982 when actress Jane Fonda began to produce a series of aerobics workout videos. In these videos, Fonda would use "No pain, no gain" and "Feel the burn" as catchphrases for the concept of working out past the point of experiencing muscle aches.
It expresses the belief that solid large muscle is the result of training hard and suffering sore muscles repeatedly, implying that those who avoid pain will never reach a professional level as bodybuilders.
In terms of the expression used for development, the discomfort caused may be beneficial in some instances while detrimental in others.
The expression has been adopted in a variety of sports and fitness activities.
David B. Morris wrote in The Scientist in 2005, "'No pain, no gain' is an American modern mini-narrative: it compresses the story of a protagonist who understands that the road to achievement runs only through hardship." Origin
A form of this expression is found in the beginning of the second century. Rabbi Ben Hei says, "According to the pain is the gain." This was written in The Ethics of the Fathers 5:21 (known in Hebrew as Pirkei Avot) Pirkei Avot. Rabbi Ben Hei Hei was giving a spiritual lesson; no pain in doing what God commands, no spiritual gain. One of the earliest attestations of the phrase comes from the poet Robert Herrick in his Hesperides. In the 1650 edition, a two-line poem was added: Source

Do you have any questions?
Every transplant team member that I spoke with at Ochsner Medical Center asked me this question during the pre operative appointments that I had on Tuesday, August 22. They asked again on the following Monday morning prior to starting the process of prepping for surgery. Each time I would give them the same answer. No, I did not have any questions.
Let's start at the beginning. In an earlier blog post, Giving Back, I introduced you to some of my closest friends. I wrote about how I had the immense honor to be a match as a kidney donor for one of those friends. Learning that your are a match as a donor, however, is only the beginning.
After that comes two days of intensive testing. Blood tests, specimen samples, heart tests, stress tests, kidney scans, an MRI, and my favorite -psychological testing. Who knew that there were so many ways to ask if the voices in your head were telling you what to do? Upon completion of these tests, you get to meet the transplant team. Each of these professionals specialize in something different, and all of them gave us lots of information. Do you have any questions, they would ask. Maybe I should have!
Clear Communication
It was all worth it when we received the news that I am not only physically healthy, I am also mentally sound. Surgery was scheduled, reschedule, and rescheduled again. Each change and every conversation ended with one query, do you have any questions? And still my answer was no.
I never had a question, because the entire Ochsner team was absolutely meticulous with keeping us informed of what was happening, what could happen, and how they would handle each and every contingency. Every communication was an opportunity to have an in depth conversation about what could be expected.
The team worked hard to address every aspect of the kidney donation process.
They understood that each of them played an important role in keeping the patients informed and updated.
They delivered a quality of care that we would all do well to emulate.
Do you have any questions?

I bought some wicking today, and my daughter says she would like to try making candles with me. Yay!
I also bought some hemp cord so I can string a bunch of beads I bought in India about 5 years ago. I will mix in the beads I made at a bead making course about 3 years ago. The beads are a bit big for truly period necklaces, but that's okay. The overall look is fairly good. I may also end up wearing them to the office. Once those are done, I will string up a little necklace of very appropriate beads for my Merovingian persona, made by someone in the East Kingdom.

Remember Sweep the Leg, Johnny? Sure, their records were kinda noisy, but their live show was insane. It was always a bit of a shame that they never quite captured their live show's intensity--or their sense of fun. Through the sheets of noise and the sea of bored-looking hipsters, their alto sax-driven fun always made the night enjoyable. Even though Sweep the Leg, Johnny broke up, sax man Steve Sostak hasn't lost his desire to make fun, energetic music that's specially built for a live audience.
That's certainly true with Palm Reader. ZZZZ certainly wastes no time in setting down the fun-time vibe, with the upbeat gypsy dance number "Assassination Polka." Invoking the sounds of a rogue bunch of happy rogues, ZZZZ starts off with a fun vibe--and the band never loses its energy; as they travel from the funky "Snowball" to "Bandit King & Queen" to the final jam of "Buncerto," you wonder when they're going to stop for air. The boy/girl vocal interplay gives the music a real nice feel, too, but, really, the record doesn't seem to be about making a lyrical statement as much as making a really great groove. Indeed, at times their sound reminds of great bands like Drums & Tuba, World/Inferno Friendship Society, Brave Combo, Gogol Bordello, Spaceheads and The Coctails, but their sound is all their own.
If ZZZZ had anything to improve on, it would be on working on making each song a little more distinctive. When they flow together like they do on Palm Reader, the record sometimes feels a bit too connected, decreasing the overall intensity of each song. Still, that's a minor flaw for a generally awesome record, and it's a safe bet that this too will change with maturity. Still, Palm Reader is never too heavy, never too boring, and it will keep you on your feet--and dancing, too! The groove cannot be denied, and it's probably a safe assumption to say that their live show is 100 times more electric than the songs found here--which means, of course, that you shouldn't pass on seeing this band live!

Solar Energy Research Institute, 1536 Cole Blvd., Golden, Colo. 80401
This paper describes a novel alternative to the laser ray trace technique for evaluating the optical Quality of focusing solar collectors. The new method does not require any equipment beyond that which is used for measuring collector efficiency; it could therefore become part of routine collector testing. The total optical errors resulting from imperfect specularity and from inaccuracies in reflector position or slope are characterized by an angular standard deviation σoptical , the rms deviation of the reflected rays from the design direction. The method is based on the fact that the off-axis performance of a concentrator depends on σoptical . An angular scan is performed; i.e., the collector output is measured as a function of misalignment angle over the entire range of angles for which there is measurable output (typically a few degrees). This test should be carried out on a very clear day, with the receiver close to ambient temperature (if the latter condition cannot be satisfied, appropriate corrections are necessary). The parameter σoptical is then determined by a least-squares fit between the measured and the calculated angular scan. We tested the method on a parabolic trough collector manufactured by Hexcel, and it is suitable for parabolic dishes as well.

Samsung Galaxy S4
The Samsung Galaxy S4 is without a doubt a handheld technological power house. Powered by a 2600mAh battery and a blazing quad-core processor, the S4 has an impressive 5.4" in display producing a stunning 1080p image. It is also equipped with a 13 megapixel camera, which as of right now, is the highest pixel count for cell phones in today's market. From 16 to 64 GB of internal storage and an external capacity of up to 64 GB the phone has more than enough room for what you need. All this and countless more features are found in Samsung's latest creation. However, the one thing Samsung's Galaxy S4 is not indestructible. That's where we come in.
Smart Fix offers numerous repairs for the S4. Below you will find a list of the most frequent repairs performed on the S4.
Display Glass
The S4 is equipped with Gorilla Glass but occasionally it can break. We provide a top of the line glass replacement service that consist of glass removal (exposing LCD which is adhered to the glass), followed by a LCD cleaning process. After that, we test the digitizer (touch screen) before installing the glass to ensure that the phone received no damage during the separation process. Then we install a new OEM glass and perform a second digitizer test. The finally step is to apply a small amount of heat to the glass, which is already installed at this point, and place it under a press with enough pressure to seal the glass to the LCD but not nearly enough to crack the glass or LCD.
LCD Display
Sometimes when the phone is dropped or the glass is broken for any reason the LCD behind the glass can also be damaged. Also, there are times that the LCD screen can break and/or malfunction without any damage to the glass. Unfortunately, there is no way to repair/replace the LCD alone but here at Smart Fix we offer an LCD+Glass combo repair. During this repair we remove the LCD and glass, clean the mounting plate of all residues and place an OEM pre-fused LCD+glass combination piece.
Charging Port
Although the S4 has an outstanding battery life you eventually have to plug in your charger. All that plugging and unplugging can harm your port if you are not careful. The charging port is a vital part of any phone but is a common repair performed on the Galaxy S4. This repair consists of disassembling the phone in order to expose the mother board. Then, we remove the damaged port and install the new one, making sure there is no debris between the port and the contact points on the mother board. Finally after we make sure the phone is charging again we reassemble the phone and perform a second test to make sure everything is working properly.

It was not that long ago TiPb passed along some warning signs we'd seen about AT&T cracking down on iPhone users who currently not on an iPhone data plan. Well they've gone and given all of you rebels out there one more warning for good measure.
After some digging around in AT&T's myWireless application, we have found yet another dose of legalese from AT&T that states they can and will change your data plan and charge you accordingly if you are currently using an iPhone with any data plan other than the iPhone data plan.
While this is nothing earth shattering, we figured we would pass it along so, if AT&T started following up on the warnings, our readers wouldn't be caught by surprise.
Switch to the appropriate data plan or possibly end up with a larger than normal bill?

Students drummed up a carnival atmosphere to welcome a group of teachers from South America.
Samba drums were beating and the Brazilian anthem played as three visiting teachers from Brazil were given a warm welcome after travelling more than 6,000 miles to North Tyneside.
A special assembly was held at Holystone Primary School on Monday where children were joined by staff and other dignitaries to welcome the trio.
The teachers' week-long trip is part of an international exchange and follows on from a visit to the city of Curitiba last month by staff from their twin partner schools – Holystone, Fordley and St Cuthbert's primary schools.
During their week, the South American visitors spent time in classrooms and joined pupils on sightseeing trips to explore the area as well as enjoying a civic reception hosted by Elected Mayor Norma Redfearn.
Stephen Baines, headteacher of Holystone Primary School, said: "It was a truly fantastic experience and we received an incredible welcome from our Brazilian hosts.
"Our time in Brazil taught us that whilst there are many differences between our school systems, fundamentally, the basics of teaching and the hopes and aspirations of children that go alongside are the same the world over.
"We hope our visitors enjoy all we have to offer and the exchange will go a long way to nurturing further links and promoting a greater awareness of each our cultures."

grown on the streets of Salt Lake City.
"Columbia Jones is an enigma." begins a news article on this well traveled country and blues singer and its not far off. A small town boy from Maine growing up, Columbia found himself in Salt Lake City in 2016 bandless and poor. But that was when it all began.
He started playing street corners and singing loud blues inspired songs with a bass drum, foot tambourine, guitar and harmonicas. Next he added 2 members, guitar and bass, and started playing in bars for hours. Hitting the road in the summer of 2017 he clocked over 65 shows in 8 different states and one Canadien province all booked by himself. Included in there was a trip paid for soling by street performing out to the Americana Fest in Nashville, TN. Fresh off that he hit the same cities as he did in the summer to start building an audience.
Columbia Jones is a true blue collar musician with no handouts, no free rides and a work ethic that doesn't die. Added in their is a powerful singing voice and songs about his family, his love of music, and the hard times of doing it all on your own. He may not be the country singer who can ride a horse, but he sure works like one.

During the night it wasn't so cold in our tents and super warm sleeping bags but in the morning the Russian Mafia coat required again. We watched the sun rise from the small sand hill, another beautiful moment before eating our breakfast of bread and fruit. It was not long after waking in the morning that we were back on our camels to leave, while we watched sunrise the guides packed up the camping things and that was that. The camel trek back was just as beautiful, the colours on the sand dunes amazing but it was not long before we were brought back to the city and reality.
Our train was due to depart at 130am ish so we had the whole day, annoyingly the trains heading west departed from LiuYuan which was 130km from Dunhuang and the latest taxi we could get left at 8. That basically wrote out the night market unfortunately. I still wanted to visit the famous Mogao caves (must-see for Silk Road tour) and although Ben didn't the German boys did. They needed to book tickets and wanted to shower first so while they did that I checked out some more of the town and it really is such a beautiful town. I met them back at Charlies (the owner is so friendly we used her café like a home for two days) and together we took taxi's to the caves. It took a little longer to get there than we thought it was going to then we had to walk to the ticket office while he had dropped us off at the furthest part of the carpark away from where we wanted to be. Then the queue to buy the tickets was big so by the time all this added up we missed the 12o'clock English tour and had to wait until 2o'clock for the next one. We took this time to eat lunch, it was erm… not the best meal I have had China vacations. Anyway by the time we had finished lunch, took a few photos and walked down to where the caves were it was not far off 2o'clock.
The caves were caves in a sense but not caves as you would automatically think. They were underground but king of built into a mountain side so on the outside there were stairs and steel doors that you accessed them through. There are only around 40caves open to the public all the other 700 or so are permanently closed in order to protect them, you can't take photos inside them as this will slowly destroy the paintings. There were 8 of us on the tour and although the guide spoke good English she had learnt a script very very well! There was only me that spoke native English and some of the English words she used I have never even heard been used, I just know they must be English; this made it really difficult for the others to follow. She took us around quite a few caves and they were all unique and interesting, many of them had been painted and re-painted over hundreds of years, one had the second largest Budda in it in China (and it was pretty big!) another told a story from that time in history. I found the paintings really impressive, how they painted on roofs with every picture the exact same like they did I have no idea but the artwork inside them is amazing. Each time in Chinese history has a different type of art and the caves were all very different.
After the tour we headed back for dinner, we wanted to try and fit a visit to Cress Lake in before 8o'clock and it all seemed possible. All until the point when we realised it would cost us 120rmb to get into the lake and then if you actually wanted to do anything in there you had to pay extra. In the end I met up with Ben and we found the night market for an hour. We were surprised by how expensive the BBQ's were 5-10 times more expensive than in Baiyin.
The time spent in Dunhuang (famous travel destination for China vacation deals) was truly amazing but I just wish I could have had one more day there! There is so much to see and do there and we only touched on it. But we had to keep going, our train tickets were booked and we had to be back for school.
Dunhuang for me was the part of the trip I was looking most forward to, we just had to get there. I was only around 5hours by train from Jiayuguan but the train times were all really stupid times. In the end our train was supposed to depart around 5am infact it was delayed and departed just before 7 and even then became further delayed so we eventually arrived around noon.

Good Morning! I hope you are all doing well. This has actually been a bit of a trying week, what with the horrors of Tuscon, the destruction of the storage barn at our favorite organic farm (and provider of our CSA share), and the death of a wonderful member of our community who was also our vet and the father of one of our divine babysitters. She called me yesterday morning, right after he had passed and the grief in her voice was overwhelming. I have been so sad for her, her brother and their whole family. What has been amazing is the way our community has come together to support each other through the loss of this friend. So with that in mind....
13) My community. I am so grateful to live in a town where people are beholden to each other, and far from resenting it, they revel in it. There are arguments, and the usual petty disagreements of course, but I am proud to a member of what really feels like a team. It is really, the most amazing community, Zach and I talk about how lucky we are all the time.
The picture below is from the elementary school lantern parade, right before the solstice. Several hundred schoolkids, the entire faculty, hundred of parents, all carrying hand made lanterns led by a raucous Brazilian Drum band marching through town to the green and back on street lined with community supporters. Pictures were hard to get because I didn't want to miss a moment of this magical event. The line of lanterns was endless, there was a light snow falling, and it was the perfect way to welcome back the sun as it turns it's light back toward the north. The best part was that everyone I saw that night really GOT what a special place this town is. It was radiating from all of us.
Fresh, locally grown food. I love the anticipation of seeing what will be in my CSA share every week. I love getting our meat from a farm I love to visit. I am grateful beyond words to have fresh food at my disposal, and to be able to feed my family without worry about where the next meal will come from.
Masterpiece Theatre. I love a good costume drama! I am girly that way.
What are you grateful for today?

They say "Getting a driving license is different from actually driving".
Initially I didn't understand this saying, until I started to drive! Well for me, getting the driving license was adventurous enough and i was confident to drive on the roads. But I guess, I was wrong. I have far too many occasions where I have managed to save myself or my car from damage (Mom, don't panic after reading this, cos I am much better at it now)
It was sometime in November 2007 when i got my own car(A year after i got my license). It was a 1999 Maruti 800 and I was the third owner. The reason i give this info is for you to understand that the very old car was gonna be driven by a very new driver! - ME :)
When the car came home, My dad was just too scared to give the car keys in my hands, he insisted i go for another round of classes before i actually drove the car myself. However, I managed to convince him for a few classes by a known driver.
The known driver finally turned up on one of the weekend and I could finally take charge of the car and control the steering myself. Well, it was not only the steering, but the clutch, the gear, the accelerator and the brakes too! As I sat on the driver's seat, there was a wave of nervousness running down my body and the only hope I had was the person sitting next to me - My teacher - The known Driver.We drove and drove and drove until we hit the Toll plaza on ECR and we decided to get back home. The drive was pretty smooth and I did pretty well in my first class. My teacher was already impressed and was recommending me to take the car out everyday!
We finally reached home and I was totally proud about myself! Now that the driving was impressive, my next chapter was the parking! I was supposed to park the car inside the house garage - which was slightly scary as the car park at home was pretty weird. I had to take a right and another right and then left in order to get to the parking slot! And to add complexity to the already complicated route, The second right was an elevation and the left was where the gate was. It might sound extremely simple to you, but for me it was no where close to it being simple.
With all the courage and skill, I took the first right peacefully, no engine noises, no tyres screeching no smoke, no clash. However, the second right required some knack cos it was an elevation. It needed a little acceleration, lot of clutch and quick brake when the car has to turn left. Mummy :( I was very cautious on the accelerator, but because of that my car refused to climb and my teacher kept signaling for more acceleration. Finally i left the clutch, jumped on to the accelerator, went zoom on top and forgot to break before turning left!!!
Result: Car was in the place where it had to be.
Car Status:
Right headlights were broken
Left bumper was smashed
Left headlight and indicator light shattered into pieces
People Status:
My mom's eyes couldn't believe what had just happened!
My driver was almost in the verge of laughing
My dad had a mixed feeling whether to scold the driver or me!
I was shocked and shivering to get out of the car!
The neighbors came running after hearing some loud screeches.
My driving status:
Though i got to drive the car, my dad, never let me park for almost a month after this incident. I would leave the car on the road until he came home and parked it himself!
Hence proved:
Getting a driving license is different from actually driving

Championship contender Raul Guzman made the correct gamble in order to win the opening race at Vallelunga. The Mexican decided to pit for wet tyres when many of the Italian F4 field stayed out. It paid off and he beat his team-mate to the line.
While qualifying had been dry, it was a different story for the race. A sudden downpour 40 minutes before the start soaked the circuit and prevented the cars from properly starting. With the field on dry tyres, the race was started under safety car.
The track was quick to dry though and many believed that it would be more beneficial to ride out the weather, taking advantage at the end of the race. Pole sitter Juri Vips maintained his lead off the line as Mick Schumacher followed him into the first corner.
Elsewhere, the DR Formula drivers of Guzman and Artem Petrov drove into the pits. Guzman had had a poor qualifying, by his own standards and knew a gamble was his only chance at a podium. The circuit didn't dry as quick as everyone was expecting and soon it was Guzman out in front.
A safety car was called during the middle of the race as the Jenzer Motorsport driver of Diego Ciantini ran into the barrier. By this point the DR Formula cars were already in front of Schumacher who had overtaken his team-mate.
The race was eventually red flagged after a number of driver veered off the track thanks to the worsening conditions. The win moves Guzman to within 21 points of leader Marcos Seibert, who crossed the line sixth.
Vips had fallen back from his pole and could only manage fourth ahead of Juan Manuel Correa. While other drivers did pit for wets, it was too little too late as Siebert lead home Diego Bertonelli and Giuliano Raucci to complete the top eight.
