Mr. Chhagan Bhujbal, Deputy CM, Maharashtra. Trying to find Qualifications, but found some vague mentions of 'Electrical/Mechanical Engineering'. This qualifies for a qualification, and then some.
So this is what our 'Peace March' and 'Voice of Mumbai', anger, angst, outrage led to?? The appointment of one politician whom we've never had opportunity to judge. (I couldnt think of a past record - good or bad), and one tainted, corrupt, money laundering politician.
The future looks grim. Mr. Deputy C.M. in all earnestness (did i say earnestness? I meant crooky shady trying to gain trust attitude, for lack for worse words) has ordered Rs. 100 crore of security equipment, sophisticated arms and ammunition, speedboats and what not. How much of this will reach his pockets and earn him another college I wonder?

Omg, omg, omg, this embroidery is something to see! Seriously, This multicolored embroidered floral pattern is so gorge on bright white. The fiery red and bright teal jump out against dashes of hot pink, maroon, and marigold. No matter the temp, she's gonna warm up the night.
Super flowy, this tunic is great over a bikini or with a hidden denim short. The peek a boo cutouts on the shoulders of her wide sleeves give that little glimpse of skin without being risque at all. Try her on with some strappy heels for a fun filled fiesta feeling or keep her chilllllll man barefoot at the beach.
Fits true to size.
100% Rayon.

This may be an overshare, but we've known each other long enough and if you've read a few of my blogs, you know I am an open book without an editor! I had an experience today that ended up being pretty powerful and I thought I'd over share. Lucky you!
So, today my uterus felt like it was trying to leave my body and take the rest of my reproductive system with it, through my spine. Joyous time. Because of this, I decided I couldn't do personal training and not end up in the fetal position, ironically. I cancelled. I was disappointed that I had to because I enjoy my workouts. That wasn't always the case so I like to honor that process now.
By the time I got home it had occurred to me that how I would feel about myself tomorrow would be worse than any feeling I had working out so I got on the treadmill. Now, I'm not saying that I would be beating myself up but more that I missed out on something I enjoyed and that's a bummer.
After a short warm up where I was still convincing my body that this was going to be good, I put the power woman playlist from YouTube on, uterine kinship, and cranked the volume and the speed. Hello ten minute mile! I knew you were in there somewhere!
Sure, I felt crappy going in but now I am proud and feeling a little better. My head said I was in pain and couldn't do something. My body said, hold my water and watch this!
How often does that happen to you? How often is the head in charge? What excuses show up out of that subconscious to keep you stuck? What if you listened to the body once in a while. It seems it's pretty smart. It takes you everywhere you go so it seems like a nice thing to do to honor it.
The body is amazing and can do way more than we give it credit for. How about this week you go a little beyond what the brain says and challenge yourself. Let me know how good that felt after!
So, there you are. Knowing more about me than you probably wanted to but I hope it resonates in some way and helps you the next time your brain wants to limit you.
Ovary share complete,

FUN MAGAZINE, August 2007.
Cellar Heaven Le ble d'or Xinyi Eslite Branch
By Joan Chang Translated by Ann Lee Photos by Andy Lin
11, SongGao Rd, B1
(02) 8789-5911
Hours: Sun-Thu 11 am-12 am; Fri & Sat 11 am-1 am
MRT:Taipei City Hall Station Exit 2
Credit cards accepted. 10% service charge.
If brisk winters are for getting together with friends over a steamy hot pot, then summer is for clam bakes involving good people, warm days, and tall pitchers of frosty beer. If you're seeking such cold ale, check out the Le ble d'or Xinyi Eslite branch. With retro-style decor, red brick walls and wooden floors, this beer house feels like a comfortable cellar, where patrons can relax, enjoy a beverage and, every Wednesday through Sunday night, enjoy live entertainment.
Behind the bar, Sandra, the assistant manager, explains that Le ble d'or provides pure barley beers made with Australian barley and Czech Saaz hops. Throughout the brewing process, the beer retains brewer's yeast and amino acids, giving it a refreshing and sweet flavor. The three types of freshly brewed beers at Le ble d'or—barley, wheat, and rye—are supposed to go well with different parts of your evening; the manager recommends ordering a glass of wheat beer for an 'appetizer', barley beer to accompany your meal and, after dinner, the rye beer. If you are not keen on drinking freshly brewed beer, then try their unique Mango Sorbet, which is made with wheat beer to increase its flavor.
As for food, the most popular summer choices are Spicy Fried Chicken Nuggets (NT$280) and Spicy Cuttlefish (NT$250). These dishes are marinated for four hours in Le ble d'or's own special spice sauce and served with a dipping sauce of multi-colored peppers and chilis. Spicy Cuttlefish comes with onions, bean sprouts and red chili, making it a good choice for the summer. There are quite a few other creative dishes made by the chefs here as well. Try the Chef's Special (rice dish, NT$280); the rice for this dish is washed with barley beer, then topped with more beer, green onions and eggs with sesame paste. The special comes with Fried Matzusaka Pork and Dried Grill Shrimp. Braised Beer Shrimp (NT$280) and the Seafood Fondue with Beer Soup Base (NT$480) are also worth trying out.
Since opening, Le ble d'or has been offering a series of great specials, like their half-priced Happy Hour special. On weekdays from 3 to 5 p.m., all beer is half price. On your 18th birthday, receive a five-liter beer keg—no matter how much you spend that day. In addition, you can order a business lunch with a beer for only NT$250—these are certainly the kinds of specials that have kept customers coming back.

WINTER HAVEN — A Winter Haven truck driver was involved in a fatal crash early Saturday in Osceola County. Michael Vanpelt, 29, of Zephyrhills, was killed in a head-on collision with a semi-tractor-trailer driven by Anthony Alexander, 31, of Winter Haven, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Vanpelt was driving his 2016 Dodge car westbound in the eastbound lanes of State Road 60 near Peavine Road shortly before 4 a.m. The Dodge struck Alexander's semi, which was traveling eastbound on State Road 60. A passenger in Vanpelt's car – Ronald Higgins, 43, of Dade City – was taken to Osceola Regional Hospital with critical injuries.
Investigators could not determine why the Dodge was in the wrong lanes, and the accident is under investigation.

The professional, social media network, LinkedIn, recently got on the college ranking band wagon. LinkedIn states the following on their education specific website (www.linked.com/edu):
'Which schools are best at launching graduates into desirable jobs? We analyzed millions of alumni profiles to find out how schools around the world stack up across a variety of careers.'
The website then goes on to share their three step process of how they identified the colleges within their eight career categories. The career categories are: Accounting, Design, Finance, Investment Banking, Marketing, Media, Software Developers and Software Developers at Startups. Even if those categories aren't interesting to you, the information is unique and worth a look.
In addition to rankings, you can utilize the 'University Finder' feature to locate colleges that match these three things:
* What do you want to study? (select major)
* Where do you want to work? (select a company/corporation)
* Where do you want to live? (select a city/state)
Additionally, you can also view profiles of alumni of the ranked institutions.
Full access to all the information and the site tools requires a LinkedIn profile. If you don't have one, I recommend taking these suggestions from TheSavvyIntern's article titled: Your LinkedIn Profile Sucks… Here's How to Fix That.
Have fun!

Dear Colleague, As Chairman of the Brain Tumour APPG, I am writing to you to seek your support for The Brain Tumour Charity's HeadSmart campaign to raise awareness of the symptoms of brain tumours in children. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask you to write to your local councils to request that they distribute the charity's free awareness cards to schools and health practices in your constituency.
Around 500 children each year are diagnosed with a brain tumour and a quarter will die as a result. Many more will survive but with life-changing disabilities caused by radical treatment. Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children in the UK – killing more children than leukaemia - and are the biggest cause of preventable blindness in children.
While more research will ultimately pave the way for better treatments and a cure, there is much we can do now to make sure that fewer children die or are left maimed as a result of the disease. Making sure that brain tumours are diagnosed early by doctors is essential to providing effective and less-intrusive treatments and a key aim of the HeadSmart campaign is to inform parents, GPs and healthcare professionals of what to look for when symptoms present.
HeadSmart was developed in 2011 as a result of an NHS Evidence-accredited best practice guideline to assist clinicians in the assessment of children and young people. Since then, it has won several awards and helped reduce the time to diagnosis from 9.1 weeks in 2011 to 6.9 weeks today.
This is still one of the longest waits in the developed world and that is why I am seeking your help to increase awareness in your constituency.
So far, the HeadSmart campaign has seen more than 900,000 awareness cards distributed across the country. These pocket-sized cards detail the symptoms to look for and offer advice on what to do if parents have any concerns. The cards are free and are sent to local authorities boxed and labeled by The Brain Tumour Charity – the charity only needs councils or their departments of public health to agree to distribute the cards to schools and GPs through their existing supply chains.
As a recent example of where this has worked, officers at Hampshire County Council were introduced to the HeadSmart campaign in 2013 after one of the charity's supporters contacted Caroline Nokes MP about it. As a result of Caroline's letter to the council, the charity has recently disseminated more than 165,000 cards to schools across the county – which account for 2% of the UK's school age population – and more than 500 information packs to GPs. This will have a huge impact and came at no cost to the council.
Over time, and with more schools and health practices involved, we should see the time to diagnosis drop to five weeks or below – and more children saved - in line with the US and Europe.
If you would like to find out more about the HeadSmart campaign, please have a look at the website at www.headsmart.org.uk. James Walsh manages the campaign from the charity's offices in Farnborough and, if you can help raise awareness in your constituency, he can be contacted on 01252 418192 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
With very best wishes,
Andrew Selous

Its raining, its pouring.......
10 June 2013
|Pic Courtesy of Taste.com
MM (mr morsel) is home for the public holiday, and deciding to be a family event, we all had our own part of the biscuit recipe to follow. Keeping in mind that LML ('lil miss morsel) is 4 yrs, and quite handy in the kitchen (apart from touching everything, wanting to lick every spoon, vessel and finger). Now us big kids have done our fair share of cooking together, we ran our own boutique bakery for 5 years and worked along side each other making slices, biscuits, bread, pies cakes and whatever else you find within a bakery cabinet, long hours and challenges; life was never dull. (this story is for another time and place)
We worked hard, proudly produced a heap of variety along with a mixer full of stress running a 24/7 business. So I find it amazing to be a part of an argument over how to soften the butter to cream together with sugar...even LML said "daddy...mummy's right y'know" (God love her). A self admitted control freak is he, however in the kitchen its MY RULES or get out....so I did...LOL
There obviously comes a time when you have to choose your battles, know when to make an acceptable exit from an obvious 'too many cooks' syndrome. That's fine, because he rarely gets the opportunity to see how well LML measures, sifts and mixes, cracks eggs and gets involved (besides from washing her hands in the flour) and me being 7 months ready to hatch it really is FINE to sit back and quietly observe without any fuss. Deciding on boy & girl cookie cutter shapes the mixing, rolling out cutting and baking is now done. (just with a few mishaps from not reading the recipe..) Now its time to ice the Jumbles complete with pink and blue dusting sand..oh what fun to watch from a camera distance...heheeh.
|boys n girls cooling off
|Face Painting & baking on a rainy day
Patience is a virtue when baking with little people, you have to have eyes in the back, sides and front of your head and predict every possible situation that may arise out of simply asking to pass the flour... Let them shine, let them make mistakes and have some fun, don't scare them off because they cracked the egg on the floor instead of in the bowl, look the other way when mixture goes in the mouth instead of on the tray. Develop & enrich their sense of achievement and see how proud they are to have made cookies ("all by myself..").
From the silence in the kitchen apart from the crunch crunch sound, it is all looking good, I just have to remember to keep out of the way until its all done (including cleaned up and put away)
See? Along with choosing your battles comes the spoils of; not having to clean my/ their mess up, having broken bits of freshly made cookie ferried over for sampling and seeing my favourite people have some fun in the kitchen.
Time for that coffee I so richly deserve from keeping my distance and keeping my mouth shut except however to sample fresh made jumble bumbles.

I am in the process of drawing my forms onto a wall sized piece of paper (200 x 250 cm) using 6B graphite. This is the piece in its early stages. I have been collating forms from various islands and archipelgos from the Philippines and Canada to the Faeroe Islands. These forms I gather and draw on spontaneously and intuitively taking into account composition and space. I want the forms to get smaller closer to the centre of the piece to highlight the sense of the shapes disappearing, or falling. I do not know how the piece will eventually look which is a quality I am most excited about. All my previous work has been meticulously planned, but I want to construct a piece which evolves naturally and gradually. I want it to appear as if it grows and expands, like a tiny universe.
Jennifer Letchet Paintings
My work explores fundamental elements of painting, the relationship between colour and line. I intend my paintings to affect the viewer optically with the illusion of shapes moving and receding. Colour theory is very important to my work. I use specific hues to symbolise ideas or emotions. The contained shapes on canvases seem more like objects than lines. My recent work explores natural and man-made disasters and the impact this has on our environment. I want to record the changing landscape through simplified shapes and colours.

|Last appearance
|Day 5: 4:00 AM – 5:00 AM
[edit] Day 5
As an assistant to Karen Hayes, Miles helps in the Homeland Security takeover of CTU. Miles is a bit of a rat, as he helped get Bill Buchanan ousted from his position and found out Chloe and Audrey were helping Jack escape custody.
When Miles finds out that Karen Hayes is helping Jack, Bill, and Chloe get back to CTU with evidence against Logan, he calls the President himself and promises to destroy the evidence. Once doing it, Miles leaves CTU with a new job at the White House in hand. He is slapped by Karen Hayes on his way out.
It is unclear what happened to Miles Papazian after this event.

"I don't want to lose my house" ... Disabled woman could be on streets by Christmas
... Disabled woman could be on streets by Christmas
Eugenie Amore is a fighter, she fought for her life surviving three open heart surgeries, and she is now fighting to save her home.
To win this battle, however, she needs the public's assistance as she has been given a three-month grace period to pay off roughly $700,000 in arrears at the National Housing Trust (NHT).
Amore and her family occupy a five-bedroom concrete house which is located on South Road, Kencot, St Andrew. It was purchased in 2007 for $4.5 million.
"I have appeared in the media earlier this year pleading for help, and that was the time I owed the NHT over $1 million. I paid $500,000 since then and I now owe a little over $700,000. In my first published story, persons wanted to help but I didn't provide the NHT account number so I want to give it today. I need to make payments September month end, October month end, and in November," she told THE STAR.
If the arrears are not paid, Amore and her family of four could spend Christmas on the streets as the house is in danger of being sold.
financial constraints
Amore, who is wheelchair bound, said that she still has to pay her monthly mortgage of $37,000, and that while she recognises her responsibilities, paying both expenses is near impossible given her financial constraints.
"The major difficulty I had paying the arrears is because the tenants I rented the house to were not paying consistently. So the little money I collected, I put towards paying the mortgage and cannot cover both mortgage and the NHT arrears," she said.
"I have to thank the NHT with all my heart because they have been so patient with me, and I just want to pay it off so I can have peace of mind and move on with my life."
She has two children and is living with her spouse, but although he is working, his contribution barely fills the gap for the much- needed funds to save her house.
"My spouse is living with me, but it's a little temporary janitorial job and it can hardly help out with anything. Sometimes, it's like he is just working his bus fare to go work and come back. I'm trying to see how best we can overcome these hurdles to clear up this balance to start afresh again. You think it easy to have this heavy load on my heart and head when my heart not 100 per cent already," she said.
She fondly recalled her years as a dressmaker, but stared blankly as her present physical situation prevents her from operating a machine cutting off her major source of income.
"I use to sew but I have to give it up completely because I can't use my foot to operate a machine. I tried other things because I have a little stall at home where I sell like snacks and drinks, but it run down because eventually I have to eat from it and give my daughter lunch money from it. Beg you the little help, please."
For persons wishing to assist Eugenie Amore payments can be made to the NHT accounts 82000331771 or 82000331770. She can be contacted at 783-0173

FreyWille takes inspiration from impressionist painter Claude Monet for its latest jewellery designs.
Famous for capturing the essence and beauty of the world around us, Monet's artistic vision is at the heart of these three distinctive collections.
Giverny produces an explosion of colour, mirroring Monet's vibrant, floral garden in Giverny, France, while Honfleur pays tribute to the idyllic Normandy region. Illustrating Monet's love of Japanese art, pieces have warm, golden undertones, calligraphic penmanship and distinct floral motifs.
Lastly, Orangerie has a simple and minimalist aesthetic. Inspired by the Nymphéas – water lilies – installation at the Orangerie Museum in Paris, the design reflects the exhibition's famous paintings.

One-day home improvement companies are popping up all across the country. These remodelers promise to complete jobs within a day or two and offer limited products, which makes it easy for homeowners to choose a remodeling plan and have work started right away. But for customers who don't know much about construction and remodeling, these speedy contractors may look more appealing than they really are.
Though the pitch might sound enticing, many homeowners are shocked when they find out how much more work they could have received from a traditional contractor for the same price. Comparing general estimates for a shower replacement from a one-day repair company and a traditional contractor illuminates the difference in quality and cost.
A quick home improvement company might charge around $5,500 to replace your shower in one day or one and a half days. Let's assume your shower is 15 square feet—that's a whopping $366.67 per square foot. Also, it must be noted that one-day repair companies are also known to use materials of a lower grade, so the repairs might not stand up to the test of time.
A professional St. Cloud, MN general contractor would typically charge around $3,200 to replace this very same 15 square foot shower. That's $213.33 per square foot, or a savings of more than $150 per square foot!
But it gets even more interesting—here's what that extra $150 per square foot can get you from a quality, trusted central MN general contractor.
For that same $5,500—remember, that's the amount the quick home improvement company wanted to charge you just to replace the shower—a general contractor could also install a toilet, bathroom fan, and mirror and repair the tile and grout in your bathroom.
The project done with the help of a qualified general contractor would improve the entire bathroom and take just an extra few days to complete—all for the same price that was offered by the quick home improvement company.
While homeowners can reasonably expect to have a professional general contractor working in their home for a few extra days, many find the additional time to be a worthy investment. By working with a professional general contractor, homeowners can typically have more than twice the amount of square footage improved in their homes.
As homeowners face more pressures and stresses from everyday life, quick repair companies have the opportunity to take advantage of the consumer's desire to finish the project quickly. Many people believe mistakenly that a quicker project is better, assuming that they will have more crew members working on their home or a more experienced team. However, the reality is that many one-day repair or one-day bath companies get the job done quickly by using sub-par materials, doing less work, rushing the installation, and taking advantage of a customer's lack of knowledge for home improvement costs.
Though a professional contractor's services might take a bit longer to complete, the results speak for themselves. When homeowners begin remodeling projects, they are investing in the future of their families and their homes. Professional general contractors typically deliver more for the money because their reputations sell their services.
Before hiring a remodeling company for a one-day project, professional contractors everywhere encourage homeowners to look carefully at the type of work they'll be receiving for the money. Homeowners are advised to look at samples of the contractor's work and to inquire about the type of materials that will be used. Professional general contractors also suggest that homeowners should consider the long-term value of their properties before working with a quick repair company. In many cases, the high quality of work and durable materials could mitigate the time investment of an extra couple days of work.
Thinking about remodeling your bathroom?
Craig at Schoenberg Construction is one of the best Saint Cloud, MN general contractors. He always gives honest, fair bids with no lowball, fake pricing and there's no sales pressure, ever. Craig never uses cheap materials and never engages in sloppy workmanship, and his company is known as one of the top remodel companies in the Saint Cloud MN area because he insists on doing every job exactly right.
Give him a call today at 320-252-0911 or send him an email to claim your no-obligation and no sales pressure home improvement consultation.

Let Your Business Security System Camera Fight For You
Do you want to push the limits of your home or business security system?
If Yes, then you have definitely come to the right place. On this page, we will show you how you can effectively use a motion-activated security camera and an IP camera that can pan, tilt and zoom on a moving target to secure your premises.
Meanwhile, before we discuss this topic further, quickly watch the CCTV video recording below. See how a business owner was smart enough to install outdoor business security cameras with intention to put a stop to rampant theft they were experiencing.
Watch how a high tech motion-sensitive PTZ IP security camera system captures a policeman pants down while having on-duty illicit affair with a woman behind a building at Oglethorpe, Georgia.
The video was recorded with an outdoor security camera system.
In today's world, criminals are becoming bolder and brash. For instance, when a drug addict is craving a "fix", to satisfy some addictive need, they can go just about any length to obtain the money they need to satisfy their ramming desire.
Motion activated outdoor security cameras offer a safe way to capture culprits in the vicinity of your home or business.
Whether or not we want to pronounce judgment on the addict, this is the sad state of this world's affairs. Other criminals simply seem to be addicted to the rush of taking the property of other people. Worse yet, a growing segment of our society seems to be addicted to violence.
How Business Security Camera Saves You Costs
Do you have an area of your home or place of business which is off-limits to others including children, family members, patrons or employees?
When anyone attempts to approach a prohibited area of a business or home you will have video evidence of their transactions in a place that they have not been authorized to go.
And as the name implies their motion will trigger the camera.
Motion activated business camera system is quite attractive because they do not need constant recording.
In fact, these high-end digital security cameras only goes to recording mode when motion is detected unlike normal surveillance cameras which usually do 24/7 continuous recording.
This means, only important video footage are recorded. The major cost of owning this cost-efficient business security cameras is the equipment cost, no monthly fees incurred.
These wonderful devices can be extremely useful in protecting and securing our homes, our property and our places of business.
In a personal property setting, a vacation home and/or a portion of your property bounds, these useful devices will help you to discover what is transpiring as you sleep; or if you may be away.
How PTZ IP Camera Pushes Limits of Your Security System
Have you ever watched one of these popular TV series: NCIS, Criminal Mind, Mentalist, CSI?
I suppose Yes….
Then you have probably seen state-of-the-art surveillance camera technology in action. They use Pan Tilt Zoom cameras to apprehend culprits that are caught by these types of cameras.
The special features of these cameras are its ability to Pan, Tilt, and zoom in at distances of 300 yards and more. It can easily focus on a license plate or even the face of a passerby surrounded or engulfed in a crowed.
It is because of these special abilities that law enforcers are able to catch bad guys easily.
Once an intruder is caught on camera with this special kind of security surveillance camera, the law enforcers will not have a hard time at identifying the intruder since you can easily zoom in on the recorded tape and focus on the face of the intruder.
Business Security Camera System Caught Woman Destroying Store »
The key to this high end camera is its high definition zoom lens. It can zoom in up to 300 yards and more. However, if you zoom in at maximum limit it may give distorted images. One of its unique features is its ability to 'auto-track'.
PTZ camera with low lux setting enables the camera to capture and display clear images located at low lighted areas. The higher the lux rating, the higher the light amount needed for it to capture clear images. Therefore, low lux means needing less light.
Exploiting the Powers of Motion Sensitive PTZ IP Camera
Motion sensitive business security system with PTZ IP features has so many good things going for it.
These types of business security systems are built to be waterproof and cope with extreme weather conditions. They also have infrared night vision and the cameras record continuously, day and night, in rain or snow.
The IP capability makes them idea for remote monitoring and workplace outdoor video surveillance. Business security system comes in different variants, features and performance power.
Since the surveillance cameras give the security system its power, it's very important to consider different camera types such as: infrared security camera, network security camera, and motion-sensitive, PTZ IP cameras which we have discussed here.

Board of Directors Expands; Management Agreement Renewed with Port Authority
Greater Cincinnati's business community has a large international component, and its regional Foreign Trade Zone program has strengthened partnerships to expand the program's impact as an important business incentive for manufacturers and distributors. Located in eight counties in SW Ohio and Northern Kentucky, Foreign Trade Zones (FTZ) No. 46 and No. 47 comprise the region's FTZ program, which currently has 10 active users, including GE, Festo and Milacron.
"Our goal in the past year has been to make more companies aware of the cost-savings benefits of the Foreign Trade Zone program and why it can be so valuable to a company's bottom line," according to Charles Miller, president of the board of directors of Greater Cincinnati Foreign Trade Zone, Inc., (GCFTZ) the program's federal grantee. "There are initial costs and time requirements involved in zone application and activation, but the payoffs are huge if an FTZ is feasible for your company."
The GCFTZ board recently renewed its management agreement with the Port of Greater Cincinnati Development Authority, upping it for another two years. "The Port Authority is excited to continue to manage the regional FTZ program," according to Laura Brunner, Port Authority President & CEO. "As the Port Authority works to expand manufacturing investment in Hamilton County, the regional FTZ program is a compelling benefit."
New GCFTZ board members
In addition to approving the Port Authority's extended management contract, the GCFTZ Board of Directors added three new board members for 2017:
T. James Min II, Vice President, International Trade Law and Global Head of Trade Law Practice Group at Deutsche Post-DHL Legal Department;
Jeffrey Bender, Executive Managing Director at Cushman & Wakefield;
Sheila Spradlin Reich, Owner & Partner at The XPat Desk.
Andy Kuchta, Director of Community and Economic Development at Clermont County, left the board after 8 years of service.

Space Seeds & Mobile Genetic Mechanics
monkeys in suits chatter endlessly
thwacking on keypads pounding on tables
fighting between crazed cranial convolutions
intelligence design versus raw evolution
while Darwin's swarms rise around them
every earful of ocean contains millions
each breath a living soup of particles
our skin squirming as we squirt more
sneezing a cloud of life thoughtlessly
drink in the growing universe daily
statistically insignificant billions
in every spoonful of planet
significance a matter of size
mindful of microbial worlds
as one wipes away dust
tiny ants measure my desk
looking closer tinier mites
scales below and within
all around each of us
ancient artforms
long before our naked skin
swarms awaited our birth
their tubular tools sharp

"On this single planet called Earth, there co-exist (among countless other life forms), algae, beetles, sponges, jellyfish, snakes, condors, and giant sequoias. Imagine these seven living organisms lined up next to each other in size-place. If you didn't know better, you would be hard-pressed to believe that they all came from the same universe, much less the same planet".
-- Neil Tyson, AMNH
Microbes, Microbes Everywhere
I'd like to point out that microbes - the bacteria, the archaea, the eukaryotes - they're everywhere, or almost everywhere. We find all kinds of microbes in hot environments, sometimes as hot as 121 C (250 F). The only microbes we don't find in hot environments are the eukaryotes, although we do find eukaryotes everywhere else. In extreme cold: microbes can exist at minus 15 to minus 30 Celsius (5 to minus 22 Fahrenheit), inside of solid ice. In high pH (very alkaline) environments; in low pH (very acidic) environments, such as the Rio Tinto. These are the kinds of sites that astrobiologists in the NAI are studying today. Hypersaline environments; desiccated environments like the Antarctic and the Atacama Desert; high-radiation environments; deep-sea and deep subsurface environments; and inside of rocks. Any environment where you can imagine you might have a usable source of chemical energy, one can find life.
Viruses are mobile genetic elements
It was an absolutely stunning surprise to us that something as strange as viruses carrying genes from one cell to another can happen — Joshua Lederberg
If your computer suddenly begins to greet you, at various times, with a vulgar message, you will automatically know that the computer has contracted a virus. It might have arrived via the modem, it might have come with a new program on a disk, or someone might have stealthily keyed it in. It might even have been there when you originally acquired the computer. However it got there, it is definitely a computer virus, and your computer did not spontaneously generate it.
Computer viruses are called viruses because they are analogous to real viruses, the ones that infect living cells. Because viruses are simpler than cells, biologists used to think that maybe viruses were the precellular life forms that Darwinism requires. Today however, even Darwinists don't think that viruses are this link. Viruses are not independently capable of metabolism or reproduction. Biologists now think that viruses evolved after cells. What is a virus?
A virus is a piece of genetic instructions in a protective coat. Virus particles are tiny; a cell can manufacture and contain as many as a thousand of them before breaking open. They were first discovered when biologists observed that some disease-causing agents were able to pass through a filter too fine for bacteria. They can be small because they have almost none of the machinery of a cell, only a smallish quantity of DNA (or RNA) and a protective coat.
Viruses are not living things. When they are outside of their host cell, they are just very complex molecular particles that have no metabolism and no way to reproduce. In our computer metaphor, they're like software with no hardware, floppy disks or diskettes without a computer. Having no independent metabolism they can remain viable indefinitely, under the right circumstances. "Some of them can even be crystallized, like minerals. In this state they can survive for years unchanged — until they are wetted and placed into contact with their particular hosts".
The viruses that infect bacteria are more specifically called bacteriophages, or simply phages. The kind and amount of genetic instructions in phages vary from 3,600 RNA nucleotides to 166,000 DNA nucleotide pairs (9). To restate these dimensions in terms of our computer analogy, the computer viruses that infect handheld calculators range in size from 900 bytes to over 40 kilobytes. For comparison, the simplest handheld calculator (bacterium) has about 200 kilobytes of stored programs.
The viruses that infect eukaryotic cells vary in size also. The poliovirus has 7,600 RNA nucleotides; the vaccinia (cowpox) virus has 240,000 DNA nucleotide pairs. To use computer terms again, the computer viruses that infect personal computers range in size from 1.9 kilobytes to 60 kilobytes. For comparison, a very simple personal computer (a yeast cell) has genetic instructions equivalent to about 8 megabytes. An advanced personal computer (a human cell) contains about 1.5 gigabytes of stored programs, counting the backup copy and the unused programs (silent DNA).
When a virus attaches to its host cell, the host may take the whole virus into its cytoplasm where the virus's protective coat is removed. Some bacteriophages use a different invasion method. They remain outside the cell and a chemical trigger causes them to inject their genome into the host's cytoplasm. Either way, the virus's genome enters the cytoplasm of the host cell.
Once inside, the virus causes the machinery of the host cell to enter one of two cycles, the lytic cycle or the lysogenic cycle. In the lytic cycle, which leads to cell degradation, the host begins to carry out the reproductive instructions in the invading virus's genome. Those instructions are, in summary, "make more of me." The host becomes a slave to the invader; it drops everything and begins to manufacture copies of the virus. After many copies have been made, the cell breaks open and dies, and many viruses are released. This is the normal way in which a virus causes symptoms of disease in its host.
In the lysogenic cycle the host cell does not make more viruses, but simply harbors the entire viral genome in the cell, usually by incorporating it into the cell's genome. If the virus is an RNA virus, as many are, the RNA must first undergo "reverse transcription" into DNA. While harboring the viral genes, the cell may grow and multiply normally, carrying the new instructions harmlessly along with it. A virus carried in this manner is said to be latent. Recently scientists have learned that even during latency, some of the virus's genes can be expressed.
Sometimes after lysogenic integration of the viral genome into the host's DNA, an "induction event" can cause the viral infection to revert to the lytic cycle, in which the cell makes many copies of the virus and dies. After this happens, the numerous new virus particles can then infect many other cells. If the new infections are lysogenic, the virus's genes may again become integrated into the DNA of the new cells without harm to them. Lytic infection of one host followed by lysogenic infection in another is also called transduction. When we discussed transduction earlier, we said viruses could tranduct a cell's genes to another cell. Here we see that the virus's own genes can also be transducted into cells.
This method of acquiring genes is not in doubt. Among bacteria, for example, "There are some well-documented cases of homologies between viral genes and their host counterparts. ...Some past exchanges have occurred between distantly related phages and between phage and host" (12). Eukaryotes are also known to acquire viral genes, and the phenomenon is not rare. "Endogenous retroviruses and retroviral elements have been found in all vertebrates investigated.... As a general rule, the number of groups of viral sequences found within a given vertebrate species is proportional to the effort spent searching that species".
And it has now been shown that some of the genes that viruses install have a beneficial function for the host. In fact, doctors now use viruses to install genes in the new field of "gene therapy." Even the virus that causes AIDS, if properly disabled, may become useful this way.
When the genome of Bacillus subtilis was completely sequenced and published in July, 1997, the sequencers noticed another interesting example of gene transfer. "...Some of the bacteriophages in B. subtilis also appear to contribute genes that aid the host bacterium by helping it resist harmful substances such as heavy metals". This evidence confirms that genes installed by a virus into the genome of the host can be beneficial, even essential, for the evolution of the host.
"Viruses today spread genes among bacteria and humans and other cells, as they always have... We are our viruses."
— Lynn Margulis
Directed Panspermia: Targets and Propulsion
We can soon launch panspermia missions to seed other habitable solar systems. We can target nearby stars and star-forming zones in interstellar clouds. Each mission can seed dozens of new solar systems where local life has not formed.
We may launch swarms of capsules by solar sails from Earth orbit, or using shielded 10 - 100 kg payloads that will disperse into millions of capsules at the targets. Each capsule can seed a new planet, or incorporate in asteroids and comets, which will deliver them to planets later when they can sustain life.
Biological Payload
The payloads can contain microorganisms that will start a self-sustaining ecosystem: algae, bacteria, and cysts of multicellular organisms (eg., rotifers) that can speed up higher evolution. Eventually, intelligent beings may evolve who will expand Life further in the galaxy.
Directed Panspermia: Astroecology, Biomass, and the Cosmological Future of Life
Meteorite materials show that asteroids and comets can sustain microorganisms. With these nutrient sources we can construct a biomass of 1E22 kg, and eventually human populations of 1E18, ie., million of trillions in each inhabited solar system similar to ours.
The amount of life that will exist in each solar system can be measured as biomass integrated over its lifetime. This can be 1E43 kg-years in each solar system, 1E48 kg-years about future red and white dwarf stars in the galaxy, and 1E59 kg-years if all the mass / energy is use for biological resources.
These future amounts of life are vastly greater than what has existed to date. Our panspermia missions can secure an immense future for Life.
Wild Things: The Most Extreme Creatures
By Bjorn Carey
Extremophilic microbes are a wild bunch. They can be found thriving in some of the most hostile environments imaginable – swimming in near-boiling water, eating rocks, lounging in sub-zero temperatures, and hanging out where radiation levels rival nuclear reactors.
They're tougher than duct tape, boldly going where humans dare not and cannot.
Extremophiles are also a multimillion dollar-a-year business – some of them are employed to eat oil and help clean up spills. Others have important applications in medical research. But for many scientists, these hardy microbes are interesting because they suggest the potential for life on other planets.
Recent discoveries have greatly expanded the range of these wild things. Here's a census of small creatures living in some of the worst conditions imaginable.
Needs more salt
Microbial extremophiles have recently been discovered thriving in the extremely hostile environments in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea.
At nearly 2.5 miles (4 kilometers) below sea level, with salt concentrations ten times higher than seawater, pressure 400 times greater than atmospheric pressure, and a lack of oxygen to boot, the conditions these microbes thrive in are some of the most hostile environments on Earth.
In the Jan. 7 issue of the journal Science, researchers working on the European Biodeep project reported the discovery of new microbes in the anoxic basins, or 'brine lakes', located off the coast of Sicily.
It is these types of conditions, particularly the high concentrations of magnesium chloride, that have scientists imagining what the environments of other planets might consist of, and whether they contain life.
"Ascertaining the nature of the subsurface on other planets is tricky, but there is growing evidence for hypersaline environments of Mars and Jupiter's moon, Europa. Indeed, Europa is believed to have a subsurface ocean rich in magnesium salts," Terry McGenity, the lead scientist of the University of Essex group working on the Biodeep project, told LiveScience.
Since light cannot penetrate water of this depth, there are no photosynthetic bacteria in the basins. Most of the organisms the Biodeep workers have found reduce sulfates to run their metabolism.
Some of the microbes McGenity's group found were completely unknown; including a new group of Archaea they have named MSBL-1. McGenity speculates that these microbes are methanogens because they are related to methane producing Archaea and no other methane-producing microbes were found in the basins, which are abundant with methane.
The European Mars Express mission detected hints of methane in Mars's atmosphere last year, and some astrobiologists have speculated that the methane could be a by-product of extremophilic methanogens or some other form of microbial life.
Another recent extremophile study discovered microbes in the hot springs of Yellowstone National Park using hydrogen as their primary fuel source, refuting the popular conception that sulfur is the main source of energy for microbes living in thermal features.
The research was designed to find the main source of energy of microbes living in hot springs with temperatures over 158 degrees Fahrenheit (70 Celsius), a temperature too high for photosynthesis.
"It was a surprise to find hydrogen was the main energy source for microbes in hot springs," said University of Colorado researcher Norman Pace, who led the team.
Pace's colleague John Spear, lead author of the study published in January's online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, speculated about what the discovery of hydrogen fueled microbes means for life on other planets.
"Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe," Spear points out. "If there is life elsewhere, it could be that hydrogen is its fuel."
Beat the heat
Other tiny critters prefer the cold.
Hiding beneath sheets of ice in Siberia and Antarctica are microbes called pyschrophiles or psychrotrophs. They consist mostly of bacteria, fungi, and algae, thrive in freezing temperatures ranging from 23 to 68 degrees Fahrenheit (-5 to 20 Celsius).
In addition to being cold, the environments that these microbes are found in are sometimes at tremendous depths – sometimes over two miles (3.2 kilometers) below the surface.
Pyschrophiles help us clean up arctic oil spills. They also turn our milk sour. There is a good chance, scientists say, that extraterrestrial life could be similar to this class of microbes. In a solar system where many of the planets -- including Mars -- have large ice deposits and colder temperatures in general, pyschrophiles might thrive.
Undersea hot spots
Rising as high as 15 stories off the ocean floor at depths of 7,000 feet (2,100 meters), hydrothermal vents that spew acidic, mineral rich water are the places to be – if you can stand the heat. The water coming out of the vents can reach temperatures as high as 750°F (400°C), but that's just fine to undersea thermophiles.
The mineral-munching microbes living around these volcanic "chimneys," which are so deep no sunlight can reach them, give yet another view of what life could be like on another planet, where lack of sunlight would hinder organisms relying on photosynthesis as their energy producing mechanism.
A number of the planets and moons in our solar system are covered in ice, but scientists speculate that below some of that ice are liquid oceans. If there is also volcanic activity on those ocean floors, it is possible that similar hydrothermal vents could be growing there as well. Although it is nearly impossible to know whether there is life in those oceans, at least an environment that we know organisms can live in could be present.
Under pressure
A sediment sample recently drudged up from Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean, was abundant in single-celled protists called foraminifera. Researchers were surprised to find these soft-shelled critters at depths of nearly 7 miles (11.2 kilometers), where the pressure is 1,100 times greater than at the surface.
"I am very surprised that so many very simple, soft-shelled foraminifera are dwelling at the deepest part of the ocean," said Hiroshi Kitazato, of the Institute for Research on Earth Evolution at the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology.
Kitazato suggests that the deep trenches, where the creatures can feed on bits of sunken organic matter, may provide a refuge for the foraminifera.
The fossil record of foraminifera is over 550 million years old. In last week's issue of the journal Science, Kitazato suggested that these new creatures probably represent the remnants of a deep-dwelling group that was able to adapt to high pressures.
The rest of the wild bunch
It's a hard rock life: Endoliths and Hypoliths are two types of extremophiles that live inside rocks or between the mineral grains. Endoliths have been found over 2 miles below the Earth's surface, and if they can stand the heat, they could dwell much deeper. Early observations show that they feed on surrounding iron, potassium, or sulfur. Water is scarce at these depths, and this slows down the procreation cycle of the organisms – some reproduce only once every 100 years!
Biotechs Mine Bacteria for Industrial Use
Hypoliths are photosynthetic organisms, so the rocks they live in must be translucent, like quartz. Hypoliths are commonly found in extreme deserts in cold climates, such as on Cornwallis Island and Antarctica. Their translucent homes provide them with many comforts, such as trapped moisture and protection from ultraviolet rays and harsh winds.
Hot and hotter: Hyperthermophiles are organisms that prefer temperatures above 140 degrees Fahrenheit, some even as high as 250°F (121°C), although those have trouble reproducing. The hardiest of the 50 known species are those living near hydrothermal vents - these require temperatures of over 194°F (90°C) to live. In addition to being heat resistant, many hyperthermophiles can withstand other environment stresses, such as high acidity and radiation.
One thermophile, Thermus aquaticus, produces a DNA polymerase enzyme that is widely used in molecular biology research for use in high temperature polymerase chain reactions used to replicate DNA.
Mightier than a cockroach: Toxitolerant organisms can withstand high levels of damaging agents. They can be found swimming around in benzene saturated water or in the core of a nuclear reactor.
One species of bacteria, Deinococcus radiodurans, can withstand a 15,000 gray dose of radiation – 10 grays would kill a human and it takes over 1,000 grays to kill a cockroach. Extraterrestrial life forms would most likely need to possess similar tolerances to radiation, as the atmosphere on other planets, or lack thereof, filters out much less radiation than Earth's.
On a diet: Oligotrophic bacteria survive in, and in some cases prefer, environments that are low in nutrients. They have evolved metabolic processes that allow them to produce their own sulfur and phosphorus and they feed on their own organic waste.
While there is no evidence for life beyond Earth, information about extraterrestrial environments combined with the discoveries of life in places on our planet thought to be inhabitable keeps scientists optimistic.
"If it works this way on Earth, it's likely to happen elsewhere," says Spear, the University of Colorado scientist. "When you look up at the stars, there is a lot of hydrogen in the universe."
Odds of Complex Life: Great Debates Part III
Microbial life, at least, may be common in our stellar neighborhood and even may be present on other planets in our Solar System. That being the premise, the probability of complex life elsewhere is then dependent on the probability of the transition from slime to civilization. It happened here, so why not elsewhere? Do you think that complex life should develop on a sizeable fraction of worlds around other stars?
The debate about the "Rare Earth" hypothesis continues today with a discussion about complex life and the possibility of its occurrence in the universe. Complex life is generally considered any living thing with multiple cells - as opposed to single celled, microbial life - and, on Earth anyway, includes everything from the simplest slime molds to human beings.

One day�I asked him why,
Just why was he so sad?
He was very slow to answer me,
He was a most unhappy lad!
Still, after a time�he told me,
Of how embarrassed he would get;
On �special� days�he was overlooked,
And, it hurt so much he could not forget.
It all began on VALENTINE�S DAY,
When love should freely flow;
The children would sign their cards,
And then, pass them out�row by row.
Well, this lad waited and waited,
But, nobody came his way;
It made him very sad,
And, he cried�the rest of the day.
Of course, he failed to mention,
That he had no cards to give;
Still, he was hoping he would receive some,
But, his hopes were short-lived.
Christmas came and went,
And, his birthday�too;
He never felt included,
In all the things that children do.
Sometimes he felt invisible,
Did anyone know that he was there;
For surely�had they seen him,
Surely, somebody would care!
He got no recognition at home,
For, he always seemed to be in the way;
Would his life ever turn-around,
Or would it�forever�like this stay?
Oftimes, children are so hurt,
They only know how to react;
Then, they will become hurtful,
And, that�s a proven fact!
But, this young boy really was �special�,
For, he didn�t retaliate;
He began making Valentines all year,
And, he passed them out�on that date.
Sometimes, all that it takes,
For others to know you are here;
Is to reach out to them,
Reach out�and draw them near!
So, if this has been your problem,
Rise above and take control;
Show them that you have value,
Step out�and it will make you whole!

2. As a TEC21 Workshop Program participant, you should have received some information by now from Concordia University–Nebraska pertaining to college credit opportunities. We're very thankful to be able to partner in ministry with CUNE in this way. Many teachers have been blessed through this arrangement over the years. It's something definitely worth considering!
For those who do decide to pursue this, the facilitators will use the following rubric to assign a letter grade after the final workshop – EDUC 513 Course Rubric. Take a few minutes to review the grading criteria. We look at it this way in that it's simply applying your TEC21 take-a-ways in your classroom with your students following the workshops each month and plugging into our online Google+ TEC21 Educators community throughout the school year–both of which you're doing as a part of this program any way. So, it's just an added bonus to reward you for your efforts!
Remember that TEC21 is considered a second semester class- EDUC 513. To receive college credit, apply online between December 1, 2017 – January 31, 2018.

1. Discover the value of digital storytelling.
2. Explore digital storytelling tools and resources to use with your students.
3. Identify a tool or resource to share with another teacher at your school.
Stop motion can be time consuming, but a great option for students to express their creativity. Using LEGOs is one of the most popular ways to create a stop motion video.
Tools to try:
Paper slides require a script and illustrations ready to go. They are usually one take videos and go as fast or slow as you would like.
What aspects of digital citizenship need to be addressed when creating digital storytelling projects?
SeeSaw is an app that makes sharing student work and student blogging easy to do. It can help teach digital citizenship with our students and keep parents up to date about what is going on in your classroom.
Check out this video for more ideas on how to use SeeSaw in your classroom.
Screencastify is a Chrome extension that allows you to record your screen and audio easily. Get it from the Chrome store here.
Ways to use it in the classroom:
Every learner has their own unique Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) – the narrow band that is the difference between what a learner can do without help, and what he or she can do with help. DoodleMaths identifies this zone and creates a daily-practice work program based around it, filling in gaps and ensuring continual progression.
Students using the basic plan can earn up to 15 stars daily. There is a priced option that lets them earn more stars each day. Various apps are available for different levels of students.
CommonLit is a free resource offering fiction and nonfiction reading passages and designed for grades 5-12. You can create classes and assign texts and questions to students. Common Core aligned
A visual storytelling app that lets you create comics, storyboards, or presentations.
Book Adventure is a fun, free way to motivate your child to read! Kids in grades K-8 can search for books, read them offline, come back to quiz on what they've read, and earn prizes for their reading success. Site sponsored by Sylvan.
We had mentioned this in our first meeting, but Zearn is a free online program that helps students in kinder-5th grade receive direct instruction in math associated with Eureka Math and EngageNY curriculums.
Tinycards is a new app made by the team that created Duolingo, the most downloaded education app in the world. Students can make their own decks using text and images, or use 10,000 existing decks of flash cards on languages, science, art, and more.

Being a police detective gives you a steady diet of the worse in people. They spend time with the most hardened criminals and get to see the damage they do to others day in and day out. For them it is important to be tough guys and gals to deal with these difficult people. I might be one of the only people who knows that they have a generous and caring side too – they just like to hide it whenever possible.
I got this email from Detective Ivette Brown:
I am disappointed I was not able to help out this year with our Christmas shopping with the kids event at Meijer – my family & I always have fun with the kids.
This year, my neighbors and I adopted a young lady named Yozzmine, a student at Life Skills Center in Pontiac. Yozzmine has two children, 2 year old daughter Treasure and 7 month old son Tyrell.
A little background on how we connected with Yozzmine – my neighbor, Rod Jones, is an Academic Development Advocate at Life Skills Center in Pontiac. His wife, Courtney, (in photo) asked him if he had a student that could use a little extra help for the holidays. Rod immediately suggested Yozzmine.
Yozzmine had a smile that lit up the room – she is such a sweet young lady!
Mr. Jones told me Yozzmine gives 110% everyday, regardless of what challenges she faces as a young mother.
On 12/16/15, I told AHPD Detectives I was meeting with Yozzmine at her school to give her the gifts. Without hesitation, the detectives insisted on giving money to purchase a Target gift card to add to Yozzmine's gift! I can always count on our crew to help out – this is sure to be a special holiday for Yozzmine and her beautiful children! And seeing her smile will make it a special holiday for all of us.

FAQ – Business Solutions
1) Cloud-base - Switching from BS to ABS.
This is done by swapping the license keys. If you have a BS license key, it will have to be changed to a ABS key. When the ABS key is inserted, the features specific to ABS will become available to the customer. No further actions is required.
2) On-premise - Switching from BS to ABS.
This is done by swapping the license keys. If the customer had a BS key, it will have to be changed to a ABS key. However, the Virtual Appliance itself will have to be changed, since these solutions have different Virtual Images that need to be imported in the hypervisor.
BS Virtual Images > http://download.bitdefender.com/business/BS/Current/
ABS Virtual Images > http://download.bitdefender.com/business/ABS/Current/
3) From On Premise to Cloud.
All endpoints need to be reinstalled throughout the entire network. Endpoints which communicate to a Virtual Appliance do not have the appropriate policies which would allow then to communicate and be assigned to the required company in the GravityZone Cloud Console. Therefore, they will not know to send or receive any requests or any type of communication from the Cloud Console.
4) Is it possible to block .mp3 / .exe / .avi / .flv etc file?
Our products are security intended, therefore we do not have a feature that would block .mp3 etc files from a USB stick or from any location. The .mp3 file is an audio compressed file, it cannot be considered as a threat. The Application Control can block applications, not specific files.
If any customer/ partner account deleted accidentally, there is no way to 'restore' it. Though the endpoint installed with BEST will be remain protected, right?
if you are trying to delete a company that is a Partner type which manages other companies, it will not let you delete it. You would need to first delete those child companies. The endpoints will remain unmanageable, but protected; if it's a monthly subscription, the endpoint will remain protected until the end of the current month, if it's a yearly subscription, the endpoint will remain protected until the license expires.
