It's so rewarding to see how the combined talents and hard work of so many GHBA members and affiliates can make such a difference in the lives of these well deserving people, who have such a great need.

Our Domino Frame is the most versatile custom projection system on the market. Take a closer look at the Domino Frame's unique customization features and what sets it apart.
The customization options of the Domino Frame are virtually endless. The frame can be used with any of the screen surfaces offered by Strong/MDI for both front and rear projection. By offering the ability to wrap the screen, you can achieve an infinity edge finish or, masked with a black PVC welded border, obtain a sleek, modern framed presentation.
As for size, the Domino Frame offers a broad selection of options. For front projections, there isn't a size limitation so you can go as small or as big as you'd like. Rear projections can reach a width of 32 feet, which is substantially larger than most standard back-side displays.
You can also choose how you want to attach the frame system. Structural attachment hinges allow you to mount it on walls or implement it into a larger project arrangement, or you can choose to suspend it from the ceiling to make it the focal point of your room. Leg supports can also be attached for ground-level presentations.
Aside from unmatchable customization options, the Domino Screen stands apart from other projection systems for a multitude of reasons including convenience and adaptability. It offers easy installation and removal, regardless of location and mount-choice of your project. You can also adapt the frame to meet a variety of needs, so while it may serve as a backdrop for this month's theater performance, you can reuse it for a presentation or art piece for next month's fundraiser.
The tailored process of the Domino Frame's construction makes it the perfect choice for a variety of needs, notably for the arts including galleries, museums, and performance venues. Recently, we partnered with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts for their Chagall: Color and Music exhibition. We've also worked with a variety of theater groups, opera companies, and comedy festivals.
If you're interested in incorporating the Domino Frame system into your next project, we can help you bring your idea to reality. At Strong | MDI, we take a well-rounded approach to custom projection projects and are involved in every step of the process. Schedule an appointment to brainstorm ideas or to request an estimate by utilizing our contact form, or by calling (877) 755-3795.

Finally, Tom Sylvester's new book is now in print - or will be as soon as you order it.
Tom, you may remember, came to Sacramento Reads a few years ago to talk about his first book "The Descent," the tale of a commuter plane crash, and to plug his second manuscript, "The Hohmann Transfer."
You can still buy copies of his first novel, "The Descent" (hurry, fewer than 50 copies are left), and now you can read his latest, too.
Tom lives in North Carolina but is a commercial airline pilot (he's a 1982 graduate of the Air Force Academy) so he can easily show up at a book festival several thousand miles from his home. I read an early version of "The Hohmann Transfer" shortly after meeting him and was convinced that it would be published. That day has come.
"The Hohmann Transfer" will grab anyone interested in the space program, astronauts, the military, sabotage in space, or competition between the former Soviet Union and the United States. The main character, the astronaut, is a talented, beautiful woman who has her own near-crippling doubts about whether she has the right stuff for a risky assignment. It helps that she's a brainy math whiz.
Tom has even managed to stump the experts with this astronaut caper. A manager at the Johnson Space Center (where the book is based) was given the manuscript through a mutual acquaintance.
"He later asked what office I was in, thinking no outsider could possibly know that much about the inner workings of JSC," said Tom.
If you want to read this new suspense novel, you may order it through http://www.uPublish.com/books/sylvester.htm or from our link at the bottom of the page.
Yes, Tom decided to jump into the middle of the on-line book frenzy. He went with Universal Publishing, a business that publishes on demand, primarily from Internet orders. The book is expensive at $25.95 but it is immediately available. However, if you don't want to pay $26, you can download the entire book via the Internet for just $6.
"I would be thrilled if you choose to read it, regardless of the medium," said Tom, who tired of waiting for traditional publishing firms to give him the nod when he's found the alternative to be quick, easy and cost-effective.
"It's very inexpensive to get a book into print," he said. "Universal Publishing's only drawback is the standard book price, which is $25.95. I knew I would lose sales due to the steep price because there would be no impulse purchases. That means I had to use other methods to get people to buy it, i.e., ask them to trot the ISBN number down to their library, where the masses could pay for it. Universal Publishing originally published dissertations, then got into textbook pubs, so it knows small quantities and has a mindset that everyone will buy an expensive book, even fiction.
"But that's where my complaining ends," he added. "They have always kept their promises. The quality of the book is superb, they deliver promptly, and they track every nickel closely. Royalties are paid out once a quarter after the first three books are sold, and are based on the standard 40 percent if sold directly from uPublish.com and 20 percent if sold through someone like BarnesandNoble.com or a bookstore. They are Amazon.com's principal supplier of on-demand books and apparently have quite an operation going. Anyone can download my manuscript for $6 (of which I get 40 percent) into a .PDF file for an immediate read.
" I paid them $395 to establish the account, set up the book for publication, assign an ISBN, and link to Amazon.com. The math was easy: Forty-one books sold to break even. I have forty-one friends who would buy chickenwire from me if they thought that knowing a chickenwire maker was chic. They have a 90-day cancellation policy, meaning if I find a large publisher, I must give them 90 days notice, which seems reasonable. "
Tom says sales are going well. After the first month, he's well into profitability. His worries about lost sales due to high prices have been countered by sales to libraries.
"Other than their price-setting, I'm very pleased with Universal Publishing (uPublish.com)," he added. "They make a fine book on high quality paper. My dad is a commercial printer, so I notice paper grades. They're very professional, organized, and responsive. They are automation artists: I get an automated email each day, detailing the day's sales, broken down by royalty type (direct sale by uPublish, or sales through bookstores, libraries, and other online booksellers).
This may be the way for other writers to go, too. It didn't seem like a very attractive option at first, but Tom makes it sound like a good idea. Check it out.

Key Steps In Influencer Marketing.
Influencer marketing is a type of marketing procedure which targets influential people rather than the targeted market. It only deals with providing its services and products to influential buyers, and most of its marketing activities occur around these individuals. Influencer marketing comprises of four main events; identification of influencers in which a marketer ranks them in order of importance. Marketing to influencers which raises awareness of the firm in the community, marketing through influencers in which the influencers make the community aware of the firm. Learn more about Influencer Marketing at
Influencer Marketing Strategies
. Lastly marketing with influencers where the influencers become activists of the firm in the market. The article herein discusses the various steps used in influencer marketing strategies.
The first step when deciding on your influencer marketing strategy is knowing your target audience. This helps by identifying who exactly you want to influence. It also helps by being specific to a particular type of audience you want. It becomes easy to find relevant influencers if you can define your target audience. With an idea of who your target audience is, it is easy for your business to produce products that are of different ranges. It is unwise to target everyone since different people come with different tastes. There are those that value quality over quantity and others who are budget conscious.
Another step is deciding on your mode of approaching influencers. Depending on the amount of time and money you are willing to put, there are a few ways in which one can find their influencer. The first step is by identifying an influencer manually. This helps in building a firm and robust relationship between your business and the influencer.To Read more about Influencer Marketing, click

The other way is by joining platforms with records containing potential influencers. Some platforms are available that work with individually selected influencers. By using the methods explained above, it is now easy to locate, identify and approach the influencer of your type.
Setting objectives is another crucial step in creating an influencer marketing strategy. It is essential to determine what it is you are trying to achieve. The goals help to determine whether your influencer campaign is successful or not. Your aim may be small, but alternatively, you may choose to engage yourself in influencer marketing with a goal of increasing sales of a particular product. This can also help to widen the reach of content relating to the product or service. If your objective has been met it is possible to come up with new ideas and a higher purpose. Learn more from

Door Status Panels are similar to an alarm annunciator panel. Instead of monitoring the alarm system, they are keeping tabs on the doors being opened and closed.
A commonplace for these devices would be an assisted living facility.
The door status panels can be extremely helpful to keep people from wandering.
The door can be configured to sound an alarm if propped open for too long and/or customized with switches to allow access during specific times of the day.
These panels would be custom made depending on the facility designated for installation. The panels would be created similar to the annunciators with a housing unit, Plexiglas with printed image and a dark or light background.
Specifications for the different product types can be found below. Click on the image or read more button for specifics.

Ben Franklin Beer Stein
Home > Personalized > Beer Stein
|Benjamin Franklin, inventor of nearly everything, was too busy to make his own beer, but he certainly enjoyed partaking of it. So did many of our other founding fathers, including George Washington who brewed his own beer at home. While beer may have its roots in Europe, settlers brought their own recipes, and started one of America's oldest traditions. Our period-accurate beer stein is made from pure copper, and shares the same qualities as some of the best modern American beers - handcrafted in small batches by red-blooded American artisans who take pride in their work. And since copper is a natural insulator, you can sip slowly while your ale stays perfectly chilled. So raise a toast with family and friends and bring America alive as you down your favorite brew. Sure, it's expensive, but who ever said authenticity was cheap? Completely built by hand, our period-correct beer stein is made of copper and holds 30 ounces of your favorite beer. No two are exactly alike. C012 0-81849-00033-8 Jacob Bromwell

Most parents would agree that having their children get a good education is important to them. The fact is that the quality of education that one receives can affect one's future educational opportunities, job prospects, and income levels. Statistics show that men and women who go on to get their bachelor's, master's and doctorate degrees can expect to earn more money than men and women who graduate from high school or obtain a GED.
So how does a concerned parent encourage their child to excel in school? The answer is that you need to make learning fun. There are many fun, yet educational websites that help with just this very thing. These educational websites make learning fun, and make children want to spend time learning. The best part is that your child will perhaps never even realize that while they are having fun, they are also learning.
It's sneaky, but it works!
Many students, especially girls I've found, suffer from math phobia. That is, they just don't like math and really aren't motivated to try to excel in math subjects. If you have a child that is math phobic, read on! In today's post, I'm going to share my top 10 favorite fun math websites. Please note that before you allow your child to log onto any website, you should first log on yourself to determine that the website is appropriate for your particular child.
My children love this fun and colorful website. Coolmath4kids is geared towards younger kids, but a sister site has activities "for kids 13-103". That's a wide age span! The activities on this website are interactive and addictive. This site proves that math can be fun and it can be easy to learn.
This is actually my favorite website just because of the parent resource section. You can access this section by clicking on the educator tab and then finding the particular state in which you live. There are resources for educational field trips and other important links including a link to your state department of education.
The student section is very colorful and creatively designed. You can access math ebooks in this section for students in grades K-6. The ebooks contain a variety of interactive activities and are fun!
The parent section has links for homework help tips and also a section for homeschoolers!
According to their website, the folks at dositey aim to provide high quality free online content for families and schools. The goals of the website creators are to help children master skills and gain confidence while achieving academic goals.
There are free interactive activities and there are also products that you can buy to help your child practice skills if they are having trouble in certain academic areas.
This is my absolute overall favorite website because it has interesting articles, lesson plans and activities for educators, parents and students. This website is so chock full of incredible educational resources that it's overwhelming.
In the student activities section, you'll find a link for online activities and interactive learning. You can then choose a grade level, and finally a subject. There are numerous activities in each subject for you to choose from—some cover 2 subjects. For example, the Math Hunt National Parks Game deals with Social Studies and Math!
This is a great website for teens needing practice with math skills. The game is called Absurd Math and is described as "math from another dimension". Players go on missions in an absurd world where the ultimate power consists of math skills. Pages have hidden clues and areas. If a player needs help, they can email the staff for assistance and get a response!
In the first level of the game, players help to free Nomean City and it's creator, which have been captured by a cult of pollution makers.
I'd recommend this site to older teens, especially teens who like science fiction!
This is also a wonderful site for teens.
The premise of the game is that your student has landed on an imaginary planet called Knab. In order to escape from Knab, you'll need to earn $100,000 for the spaceship flight. To earn the money, you'll need to find a job, fill out a tax form, etc. Then, you'll need to create a budget. You'll also need to find a place to live (one which you can afford) and still have money to pay the oxygen salesman!
This is a great way to teach your teen about budgeting, taxes, banking concepts, and other real life concepts in a fun way.
This is a cute website geared towards elementary aged children. The photos of the "math cats" are adorable.
This is a creative website which has activities for students up to 8th grade. However, I think that the website would be most effectively used by younger children.
I love this website too! There are free activities which you can do on this website, but to access the entire website, you'll need to subscribe. My daughter's school actually subscribes to this site and the children can access the activities at home to help improve their skills. I really do believe that it's worthwhile subscribing to have access to all the areas!
Brain pop is for children in 3rd grade and up. The sister site, Brainpop Jr. , is for students under 3rd grade.
According to the website, the content is aligned to state objectives of learning for states in the United States. The concept and content was the brain child of a pediatrician who wanted to help his young patients in their studies.
There is a free trial offer available so you can try out all of the resources that the site has to offer before making a decision to purchase a subscription. I'd recommend taking advantage of this!
This website is a formal tutorial designed to help children who have math anxiety or who are struggling to succeed in math. Your child moves through the curriculum at their own pace and is introduced to different mathematical concepts both online and offline through worksheets. If you are looking for a tutorial to help your child improve their math skills, this is definitely the website for you.
I hope that my list helps you! Do you have a favorite math website? Please share if you do!

Sutherland Shire Singing

Sutherland Shire Singing is the place for everyone who loves to sing! Whether you are wanting singing lessons just for the love and fun of it, preparing for auditions or exams, or wanting to refine and develop your vocal technique, this school has everything you are looking for. Our private singing lessons and group singing classes offer a fun and safe environment where students not only learn to sing, but also learn to step out of their comfort zone, face new challenges with a positive 'can-do' attitude and grow in their own self-confidence.
See what our Sutherland Shire Singing students have been up to! A sneak peak into our singing lessons, end of year performances, charity events, café gigs, and more. Current students can also keep up to date with schoool news and performance opportunities.
Meet our Director, Seryna Jane Lock. "At the age of 11, while happily singing to myself in class one day, my teacher interrupted me to say, "Whoever is singing, please stop or get singing lessons". So I got singing lessons! When it comes to singing, there's a misconception out there that you either have it or you don't. That's a complete lie."
We offer singing lessons and group classes in the Sutherland Shire as well as singing lessons in Sydney CBD. Click below to see our locations.

Finding Joy Toasting Bread
This funny photo is courtesy of my husband. He was helping one of my other kids with something when he smelled something. He looked over in the kitchen and noticed Nathan standing by the toaster giggling. So, he went into the kitchen and noticed that Nathan was toasting himself some bread and was so excited about it!
Nathan has been working on simple cooking skills at school and toasting is one of those things. It is fun to see him transfer skills from school to home…and even more fun when he does it independently and ENJOYS it! Who know toasting bread could be so much fun? Finding joy in the simple things of life is awesome!

According to Brendan Fraser's superpowered hitman, knowing the future is a discipline that involves "seeing things you don't want to, and just moving on," and that perfectly describes my job as it relates to Jieho Lee's The Air I Breathe, a breathtakingly bad Altman rip-off that seems like a wholly unintentional parody of multi-narrative films. A superficially snazzy opening credit sequence is the first tip-off to the emptiness of this entire affair, which is nominally based on a Chinese proverb concerning life's founding sensations—Happiness, Pleasure, Sorrow, and Love—but is instead pieced together with dim-witted fortune-cookie adages. In what passes for cleverness, the protagonists of Lee's four intertwined stories secure their given emotion (which they're also—ugh—named after) in scenarios where the opposite would normally be felt, so that Forest Whitaker's accountant, Happiness, finds contentment by ditching his mundane life via robbing a bank and being gunned down in a blaze of glory. Deep, right? There's more where that came from in the three subsequent segments featuring Fraser's hitman, Pleasure, his gangster boss Fingers (Andy Garcia), Fingers's cocky nephew Tony (Emile Hirsch), pop star Sorrow (Sarah Michelle Gellar), and Dr. Love (Kevin Bacon), all of whose paths cross in ways monumentally contrived and silly. Lee's scripting is third-rate, his characters one-dimensional clichés prone to spout platitudes in embarrassing voiceover (sample groaner: "Sometimes the things you can't change, change you"), and his direction is no better, marked by an over-saturated color scheme, gimmicky transitional wipes, and hectic zooms that are often accompanied by loud sound effects. There's an ocean-wide gap between Air I Breathe's self-assured air of profundity and its actual, empty goofiness, which stretches from a pitiful remark about Krull (hey, an obscure pop-culture reference!) to an epically vapid tête-à-tête between Fraser and Gellar. Misbegotten at every turn, Lee's debut is an abyss of crying, screaming hysterics, made no more bearable by the fact that—for all the wrong reasons—it's also hysterical.

The wedding night
She sat on the edge of the large mattress, her finger gently tracing the rose trellis pattern of the pale blue lace curtain that covered hung from the ceiling of the large four poster bed. The mild scent of agarbathi nauseated her. The sickly sweet smell of jasmines woven around her long braid made her feel dizzy. She took a deep breath. She looked around without seeing, and her mind dismissed the tray of fruits and milk with dispassion. The door creaked, and she jumped. He stood there in a white Kurta looking uncertain. She curled herself into a fetal position closing her eyes shut as memories of the past began to flood her mind.
Three years back:
She sat in the middle of the master bed, waiting for her husband. The wedding had been a quick one as the groom had just fifteen days before he had to leave to Canada. Her parents had cross verified the social status of the groom's family, micro-analyzed the horoscopes, cross consulted three astrologers, and everything said he was the perfect match. On her part, she was fascinated about living in a foreign country. One look at his unruly curly hair, straight nose and perfect white teeth, she fell for him like a piece of log. They didn't have much of conversations in the fifteen days, just occasional greetings and tentative smiles. She thought it didn't matter. Why would it matter? She had a lifetime to talk with him, didn't she?
"What would happen tonight?" she murmured
"We would be talking, of course!" she replied to herself "The…uh… thing cannot happen so soon right? We barely know each other!" she voiced out her reasons. Maybe a handshake or a small peck on the cheek she trailed off as the doors opened.
He walked in from the adjacent room wearing only his briefs, with a drink in his hand. She gaped at him in shock. He sauntered over to her, raking her from head to toe with his eyes and a carnal, unsmiling grin spread across his face.
"You are wearing too many clothes" he rasped and dragged her up from the bed; before she could recover from the shock, he had deprived her of her saree. He started unhooking the buttons of her blouse with practised efficiency. His fingers made contact with her skin, and she snapped back to her senses. She stepped back away from him desperately shaking her head in the negative.
"Can't this wait?" She pleaded as he stepped towards her with purpose.
"Why would I marry you, If all I wanted was to talk with you?" he replied in a mocking tone. Rishitha started stepping away from him, trying to run away. He caught her by the wrist and pulled her to him with brute force. She pushed her face up to his and grabbed her lower lip between his teeth in a vicious bite.
"You are my wife" he murmured in a cold tone as he bit her hard. "And you'll obey me!" he said, pressing her closer to his length. "Say it back!" he commanded.
"I… I am your wife" she stuttered between her tears "I'll obey you."
"Good…" he said with a wolfish grin and captured her mouth in a punishing kiss.
Her clothes flew to the ground in a haphazard manner, and he pushed her down to the bed. His mouth grabbed her nipple in a cruel bite, and she yelped in pain; before she could recover from the agony, he spread her legs and pushed his arousal to her dry, unyielding warmth. The sharp pain she experienced nearly pushed her to the brink of death.
"Oooh! A Virgin" he echoed. He started a harsh and punishing rhythm and poured himself into her with a satisfying grunt. He rolled away from her and smirked.
"You are such a good wench in bed Rekha!" he said.
"My name is Rishitha" she murmured with affliction
"Whatever" he murmured and slept.
The red dot on the white bedsheet was appreciated greatly by her grandmother. Her nights became a painful routine. When he flew to Canada, she wept with joy. Three months later came the shocking news that he was already happily married in Canada. Three years since all that happened. She had married again thinking she had moved on, but the subtle hint of the night that lay ahead had brought back all the memories with crushing force.
"Rishitha?" she heard Gautham's uncertain voice.
"Can I come in?" he asked
"It's your bedroom" she shrugged.
"Our bedroom" he replied as he came and sat near her on the bed.
"Anyways am just here to borrow my pillow," he said pointing to a fluffy blue pillow. "I can't sleep without it. Am a creature of habit."
She understood the opening he gave and grabbed it "What other habits do you have?" she asked.
"I always brush my teeth before having coffee in the morning "he grinned as his stance relaxed.
"Interesting "she smirked
"And I always snore when I sleep," he said. She feigned a look of horror; he laughed. The night progressed peacefully expect for that one room that glowed brightly with her laughter
