Just a quick note. A high school classmate and sorority sister of mine had a baby boy, Tucker, on the 9th of this month. They discovered a heart murmur soon after he was born and last I heard, he will be having surgery next week.
I was an emotional disaster when Carter had that tiny cyst removed at 4 months. Can you FATHOM your brand new sweet baby having HEART surgery at a week old?!
Please keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.
Carter has a new favorite toy. It's a tiny fluffy sheep. So weird. He got it in his Easter basket. All of the sudden, it goes everywhere with him. He kisses it, squeezes it, smells it, laughs at it, and crawls around with it. It's so funny.
He has also taken to smacking people. Not out of hatefulness. He just smacks people. With a giant smile on his face. Little toot.
I'm taking the boys to the Plano Balloon Festival next Friday night. I'm excited. Should be fun.

'The Clinton Foundation is charity fraud of epic proportions'
'Foundation entities are part of a network that has defrauded donors and created illegal private gains of approximately $100 billion'
By Tyler Durden, Sept. 8, 2016
The Clinton Foundation is a rogue charity that has neither been organized nor operated lawfully from its inception in October 1997, says Charles Ortel, a renowned Wall Street analyst who spent over a year investigating the outfit.
Ortel's scrutiny of the Foundation's public records, federal and state tax filings and donor disclosures is a case study in international charity fraud of mammoth proportions.
When Ortel tried to match up the Clinton Foundation's tax filings with the disclosure reports from major donors, he said he started to find problems, including records from the foundation's offshoots—the Clinton Health Access Initiative and the Clinton Global Initiative—as well as its foreign subsidiaries.
"There are massive discrepancies between what some of the major donors say they gave to the Clinton Foundation and what they wanted it used for, and what the Clinton Foundation said what they got and what they did with it."
Last year the Clinton Foundation, which was created in 1997, was forced to issue corrected tax filings for several years to correct donation errors. But Ortel said many of the discrepancies remain.
The Clinton family's mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid. The organization spent the vast bulk of its windfall on 'administration, travel, salaries and bonuses,' with the fattest payouts going to family friends.
"It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons," said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group.
In particular, the Clinton Foundation has never been validly authorized to pursue tax-exempt purposes other than as a presidential archive and research facility based in Little Rock, Arkansas. Moreover, its operations have never been controlled by independent trustees and its financial results have never been properly audited by independent accountants.
The Foundation illegally veered from its IRS-authorized mission within days of Bill Clinton's departure from the White House in January 2001. Since that time, crucial information has been purposefully omitted or obscured in disclosures offered through the Clinton Foundation website.
Beyond any reasonable doubt, the Clinton Charity Network was neither organized nor operated lawfully. A nonprofit corporation must pass both an 'organizational test' and an 'operational test' to be legitimately exempt from federal income taxes.
The Foundation and each part of the Clinton Charity Network fails either the organizational test, the operational test, or both tests. The consequences for failing to meet either the organizational test or the operational test are severe. In normal circumstances, a charity would have its tax-exempt status revoked retroactively.
The 'charity' would then have to refile its tax returns and pay corporate income taxes upon any profits earned from the date its authorization is revoked to the present.
Donors who took tax deductions in the relevant time periods would owe personal income taxes on contributions they had made, and a raft of criminal as well as civil sanctions would likely ensue.
The scope and scale of illegal activities carried out by trustees, executives, significant donors and professional advisors in the names of Clinton Foundation entities are staggering.
All told, declared donations to Clinton Foundation entities from 1997 through 2014 are greater than $2 billion; but this vast amount is likely a pittance when compared to sums sent to affiliated "charities" and relief efforts around the world.
Though required by strict laws, no part of the Clinton Charity Network (including affiliates and joint ventures) has ever procured a comprehensive, independent, and compliant audit of its financial results.
Moreover, no part of the Network is controlled by experienced and independent trustees who can defend against conflicts of interest. Consequently, Clinton charities regularly are used illegally to create substantial 'private gain' and to advance the political interests of the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party.
Unless an independent conservator is appointed by the Arkansas State Attorney General, the public will never know the true dimensions of a fraud that started in Bill Clinton's home state and in Washington, D.C., and then spread throughout the world.
Ortel's stunning summary concludes: "Based on ongoing analysis of the public record begun in February 2015, the Clinton Foundation entities are part of a network that has defrauded donors and created illegal private gains of approximately $100 billion, and possibly more, since October 1997."
Charles Ortel, described by the Sunday Times of London as "one of the finest analysts of financial statements on the planet," uncovered financial discrepancies at General Electric before its stock crashed in 2008.

So, after all the bemoaning of crafts I haven't finished, I'm happy to report I planned and finished a craft! I've been wanting to stitch on paper for awhile now, and it was even easier than I thought. I used some heavy card stock, felt, and thread, and aside from poking my fingers a few times, I really enjoyed it...
The card is for a little girl, so I knew I wanted there to be a heart, and some judicious use of pink. I love how fuzzy and warm felt feels, and I hope she likes it as much as I do... I decided at the last minute to make the heart a pin she can wear:
I also embroidered the little "Hola" at the top of the card, and found it easier to poke the little holes through beforehand:
I loved how the back of the punched holes looked, almost like braille:
This all began because I was thinking of ideas for an embroidered Valentine. I really want to do a tutorial for a card...
Here's a closeup of the mixtape card, which of course has my favorite lovesong of all time, "Lovesong:"
So, which would you like to see a tutorial for? The monkey card, or the mixtape card? Both?
I hope all is well with everybody, and that you're feeling happy and inspired and that your world is thawing out - it's much warmer today, which always makes me feel more inspired - I even dusted off my paint tray today and washed all my paintbrushes!

The U.S. Air Force apologized on Thursday and withdrew a tweet that sought to find humor in killing Taliban militants in Afghanistan by invoking a viral Internet debate about whether an audio file says the words "Laurel" or "Yanny."
The tweet from the Air Force's main Twitter account @usairforce came after days of intense fighting in the Afghan city of Farah, which has served as a reminder of the perils facing U.S.-backed Afghan forces even after 16 years of war.
The U.S. military has provided air support with A-10 attack aircraft and drones.
"The Taliban forces in Farah city #Afghanistan would much rather have heard #Yanny or #Laurel than the deafening #BRRRT they got courtesy of our #A10," read the Air Force Tweet. The #BRRRT was meant to suggest the sound of Gatling gun fire.
The tweet sought to link, however awkwardly, the war to a blithe Internet debate over an audio file circulating online that listeners alternatively think sounds like the words "Laurel" or "Yanny."
Wired magazine has reported that the audio file was posted by high school students on May 11. (https://www.wired.com/story/yanny-and-laurel-true-history/)
After questions at a Pentagon briefing about whether the tweet was appropriate, the Air Force deleted it and expressed regrets for the poor attempt at humor.
"We apologize for the earlier tweet regarding the A-10. It was made in poor taste and we are addressing it internally. It has since been removed," it said.

Fujitsu Lab announced the development of a secure USB memory device. The concept is that the memory device will automatically erases data stored on the USB memory after a fixed period of time. Users can also configure the secure drive to erase the data or rendered unusable when its is plugged into an unauthorized PC.
Along with the secure USB device, Fujitsu is also developing the File redirect technology that restrict the copying of data from the USB memory device, forcing it to reside only on the USB memory itself and a specific company server.
Both technologies are undergoing internal trials at Fujitsu.

Elton John is pissed at the founders of Dolce and Gabbana for shading the way gay couples decide to have children, The British singer, who has two children with husband David Furnish thanks to a surrogate, slammed Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana in an Instagram post. He shades the designers about their thinking and how out of step it is with the times, along with their clothing…..
According to The NY Daily News
"How dare you refer to my beautiful children as 'synthetic,'" the 67-year-old wrote. "And shame on you for wagging your (judgmental) little fingers at IVF — a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfil their dream of having children.
"Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions," he continued. "I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again. #BoycottDolceGabbana . "Dolce and Gabbana, who dated for 23 years before splitting in 2005, called babies born to non-traditional families via IVF "synthetic children" in a recent interview with Italian magazine Panorama,
"The only family is the traditional one," the pair said, according to The Telegraph's translation. "No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed."

Southampton drug gang members jailed in 'cuckooing' probe
A gang of dealers who used so-called "cuckooing" techniques to sell class A drugs worth up to £275,000 in Southampton have been sentenced.
The five men and teenager are the last to be prosecuted as part of an 18-month investigation into a drug network from London targeting users in the city.
Cuckooing is when a drug dealer takes over the property of a vulnerable person in exchange for free drugs.
The gang also sent teenagers to manage the day-to-day operation.
The network, which ran between October 2015 and April 2016, was uncovered as part of a Hampshire police operation investigating dealers from cities including London and Liverpool, cuckooing across Hampshire, Dorset, Oxford and Berkshire.
All six members of the gang were charged with conspiracy to supply heroin and crack cocaine and pleaded guilty, except for the 16-year-old who was found guilty at trial. They were:
- Craig Morris, 27, of Clitheroe Road, London, who is believed to have been the gang leader and was jailed for nine years and seven months.
- Joshua Whitter, 24, of Bennetts Close, South Malden, who had a crack cocaine production line in his kitchen and was jailed for eight years.
- Jacob Hemans, 18, of Haslemere Avenue, Mitcham, who was found by police at the stash house with more than £4,000 in cash and 200 deals of crack cocaine and heroin. Hemans was jailed for two years and three months.
- A 16-year-old who was also found at the stash house. He was given a two-year youth rehabilitation order as well as a criminal behaviour order for three years.
- Frank Nsereko, 23, of Albury Court, Mitcham, who was found in possession of 24 deals of heroin and 29 deals of crack cocaine, as well as about £1,200 in cash and jailed for five years.
- Peter Roberts, who the court heard had a "lesser role" as a street runner. He was given a two-year suspended sentence.
Southampton Crown Court heard Whitter and Morris recruited young teenagers to the network, including a boy who was just 14 when he started selling drugs on the streets of Southampton.
According to the HM Courts and Tribunal Service there have been 187 convictions of gang members linked to cuckooing in the south of England since 2015.
Analysis by Peter Cooke, BBC South Home Affairs Correspondent
This is a crime which crosses all social boundaries. I met two people from very different backgrounds. Paul lives in a rundown flat in Southampton and buys crack every week using his benefit money. He's been cuckooed before and police fear he's at risk again.
Less than two miles away I met Holly. A previous high-flyer who was introduced to class A drugs by a boyfriend. She now allows her flat to be used for drug dealing and officers think she's fallen into prostitution.
Gangs have been targeting counties in the south because there's a ready supply of customers. A National Crime Agency report recently said more than half of the towns and cities targeted are "middle-class or affluent".
It also found that criminal rivals already present in our rural areas are easily subdued by the gangs from London and Liverpool who routinely use much greater levels of violence.

The next single from Days And Nights At The Takeaway, Sugah Sweet, is a collaboration between Seb and shadowy dubstep types LV (who also remixed the first release in the series), creating a bubbling hybrid of electronics, cut-up vocals and live drums.
"It was really amazing watching Si and Wil play together," says Seb, "They're so in tune with each other, it's beautiful to see. Doing stuff with LV suddenly made me realise how much inspiration I'm getting doing these tracks with everyone, and how getting to know people by making music with them means that your instinct and trust become the most important parts of the creation."
The remix this time is by the multi-talented Micachu, under her M.A.T.H.E.S. moniker
"Mica is for me a very special person – her music always inspires and moves me," says Seb. "Her creativity constantly changes the way I feel about what music can be, and everything she creates is always so uniquely hers. I love what she created from our track."
You can listen to the tracks below and download them now from our Bandcamp page.
Make sure you're up-to-date with all the latest news on the project by signing up for our mailing list on the right hand side and keep an eye out for news on next month's instalment, which will feature one of the biggest names in UK hip-hop…

I believe that no other country embraces, studies, celebrates, laments, digests, and analyzes pop culture like America. Maybe it's because we virtually invented the modern concept of pop culture—this interesting, sometimes uneven mix of history, current events, and celebrity. But in trying to define "pop culture" in order to create a yardstick for this collection, I still found myself searching for a proper definition of what the term means. Then, buried in an obscure, online encyclopedia, I found this:
"Pop Culture: Those series of activities & events that are more or less equivalent to national identity."
In one simple sentence, it was just what I needed: a frame to hold these hundreds of "tiles" (which is how I have now come to view all of the entries in this book). Some tiles are bigger than others, some more interesting to look at, some more colorful, some more vital, but each one necessary to create a full and complete mosaic. In this case, the mosaic forms the American pop culture experience.
But while that definition helped set a criterion for what I would include in this book, it didn't address the main concept. The purpose of this book is not merely to list the events that helped shape our national identity. Rather, the purpose of this book is to identify the exact places where these events took place, thus allowing one to stand on the spot where pop culture history was made.
Think of all the events that have touched us. The news stories, movies, songs, concerts, and television shows. The tragedies, heroic deeds, controversies, and strange phenomena. The historic events we learned in school, from Columbus to Lincoln to Lindbergh to Kennedy . . . all of the moments that have amazed us, stunned us, entertained us, delighted us, appalled us. The landmarks which shaped our tastes, opinions, and passions.
Some aspects of these events we tend remember more than others. For instance, who was involved. When it happened. What the details might have been. But the one component that seems least available is where exactly did the event occur?
We're taught that Columbus discovered the new world, but just where exactly did he land? Where was Lincoln standing when he delivered the "Gettysburg Address"? Where did Lindbergh take off from on his famous transatlantic flight? Images of the Hindenburg's fiery crash are iconic, but where exactly did it occur? We all can picture Marilyn Monroe's white dress billowing up as she stood over a subway grating. But where exactly was she standing? Where did Buddy Holly crash? Where did Jimi Hendrix burn his guitar? Where did Wilt Chamberlain score 100 points? Does the Brady Bunch house really exist? And where exactly was John F. Kennedy, Jr. standing when he saluted his father's casket? That remote intersection on a desolate stretch of highway where James Dean was killed . . . where the heck is it?
Has the exact spot ever been documented? Is it marked? Can I go stand there if I want to? Has it been turned into a parking lot?
I wrote this book to help answer those questions, and all the others that might arise as one attempts to trace the physical path of pop culture history. After all, I think there are many of us who feel the need to visit these places. It's hard to pinpoint exactly why, but for me it's always been about getting "closer" to the event by gaining the same physical perspective as the subject. Whether the environment has been altered or not, you still get a sense of place. Other people I talk to about this seem to have the same motivation, in some cases coupled with a nostalgic desire to make some sense of a part of their own past.
As I began putting this book together, it became clear that its two most important aspects would be: 1. The criteria in choosing the events.
2. The categorizing of these events.
As for the first aspect, choosing the events, there were two simple questions that I attempted to measure each entry against: Would most people be generally aware of the event or landmark? Would most people be unfamiliar with the exact location?
Naturally, there are exceptions to every rule. I'd like to believe that many of the things I've included are at least semi-familiar to most of you reading this. But I've also included some you probably are not aware of, which I feel are relevant in helping to fill out this pop culture mosaic. For instance, most people are aware of the devastating Chicago fire that happened October 8, 1871, started perhaps by Mrs. O'Leary's cow. So in this book, you'll discover the exact site where that fire originated. But did you know that on that same day, an even more devastating fire occurred in Peshtigo, Wisconsin? It's not surrounded by the myth and lore of the Chicago blaze, but it's an event that (I believe) belongs in a collection like this.
Generally speaking, American historical events (including natural disasters and major tragedies) were fairly easy to choose. Where Washington crossed the Delaware, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, where Francis Scott Key wrote "The Star Spangled Banner," etc. are matters of deep historic record and are natural inclusions in a book like this.
However, when it came to the more subjective choosing of events/landmarks that involved the arts, things got trickier. After all, who is to say which film or concert or television program has earned a placed among pop culture icons? In my selection, I tried as hard as I could to not let my own tastes get in the way. I chose movies that I believe have stood the popular test of time (i.e. Casablanca) and/or greatly influenced pop culture (i.e. Saturday Night Fever). Of course, it also helps when there is an actual public place to go visit, given that most movie sets are closed environments. The same standards applied for television, music, and sports sites. Did the event leave an indelible mark on pop culture? Were many people affected by it? Do people still care about it today?
All of the caveat questions aside, I know there are bound to be some issues not just with what has been left out, but with what I have chosen to include as well. As I have learned in discussing this book with friends, that's the fun of a project like this—it demands a debate fueled by personal taste and dissenting opinion.
As for the categorizing of the locations, many events could easily fit into more than one category. For instance, Marvin Gaye was murdered by his father. It's a crime, but he was a singer. Crime section? Music section? Where does it belong? What we did (myself and my publisher, Jeffrey Goldman) was to classify each event based on its most definitive element. Thus, Marvin Gaye goes into the Celebrity Death and Infamous Celebrity Event chapter. Once again, opinions will no doubt differ as to whether each event is in its most appropriate place. But I can assure, we did the best we could given the eclectic range of information. That's sort of the trademark of American pop culture—the wildly disparate quality of what ends up entering the national consciousness.
So that's about it.
Whether you visit these places or not, I hope you find comfort in simply knowing that they actually do exist, that you could go there if you wanted to. To reflect, to inspect, to gain some new insight, perspective, or appreciation. There are so many anonymous, out of the way spots which have been forever altered after their random brush with history. Some have become national historic landmarks, others have evolved into places for fans to pay homage, and many have been forgotten almost entirely.
But however they exist today, they are real.
So, if you've ever found yourself wondering, "Where exactly did that happen?"
Well, look no further. Because you're about to find out.

He has contributed articles to such publications as the Los Angeles Times, Westways, Travel + Leisureand Preservation magazine. Epting is also the national spokesperson and consultant for Hampton Inn's Save-a-Landmark program, which recently won the Preserve America Presidential Award. He lives in Huntington Beach, California, with his wife and their two children.
"James Dean Died Here is an addictively irresistible tour through pop culture past and present."
—Chicago Tribune
"The whereabouts of 600-plus places that have helped shape national identity, from the momentous (site of the world's first A-bomb explosion) to the ridiculous (where Zsa Zsa slapped that hunky Beverly Hills cop)."
—USA Today
"Who says Americans don't know much about history?
. . . Epting's quirky factoids are most appealing."
—Publishers Weekly
"Chris Epting has written a guidebook to a broad range of historic and often hysterical American landmarks-more than 700 in all. James Dean Died Here includes the spot where the young movie icon perished in a car accident, the location of the Brady Bunch house, and the hangar where the final scene of Casablanca may have been shot." –
—National Public Radio's "All Things Considered"
"Chris Epting's omnibus picks up where standard guidebooks leave off, directing couch potatoes to the spots they've always imagined but never seen . . . . 49 states are represented, the 600-plus locations are almost entirely free to visit, and you'll never again lose $40 to take a stupid 'star tour.'"
—Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel
"Just in time for summer road trips comes a cool new book that lists the location of about 650 pilgrimage-worthy pop culture sites across the United States. James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America's Pop Culture Landmarks is a guide to sites morbid, trashy and profound. Epting has assembled a treasure trove of pop landmarks!"
—Albuquerque Journal
"Want to know where Zsa Zsa Gabor was arrested? The house that was built on the Indian burial ground in Poltergeist? Where Elvis recorded 'Heartbreak Hotel'? It's all in here, Baby!"
—BookSense 76 Pick for July/Aug 2003
"This book bulges with facts!"
—Los Angeles Times
"With sweep both noble and tacky, Chris Epting's book, James Dean Died Here: The Locations of America's Pop Culture Landmarks, is the complete package for those who like their American history unadulterated by the usual cultural distinctions . . . . Whether you are sticking to that armchair or planning a road trip this summer, James Dean Died Here is a spirited companion, one that will steer you off the interstate to some of the country's most exalted, tragically charged and hopelessly hokey landmarks."
—Baltimore Sun
"Takes you on road trips all over the country. . . . This book is a lot of fun!"
—National Public Radio's "The Savvy Traveler"
"Take a cross-country trip with this offbeat guide to America's historical and pop culture landmarks. Patty Hearst's bank, the site of Ritchie Valen's plane crash, the spot where George Washington crossed the Delaware, and the Brady Bunch house are among the listings. Full of photos, Epting's book is a guilty pleasure for the celebrity obsessed and offers an intriguing peek into the quirks of Americana."
"Looking for a good read? James Dean Died Here fits the bill."

Do You Know?
All of the buzz about digital marketing has left an old, familiar and still viable marketing medium in the dust: offline programs. The marketing divide between online and offline spheres can be so epic, in fact, that it's not uncommon inside companies to see separate print, Web and social marketing teams using different strategies and launching campaigns that are in no way connected.

But those silos only exist inside marketing departments. The customer's mind perceives one continuous brand. We live in a world where customers casually cross multiple marketing channels throughout the course of an hour and can see a kiosk ad, print promotion and social media campaign within moments of each other.
It's no surprise that consumers tend to be distracted; recent research from Reponsys shows that customers tend to spend 30 seconds or less absorbing digital content, making it especially important to reach them on a variety of channels. Other research shows that they expect seamless access across channels, with a Multichannel Retail Survey finding that 40 percent of consumers said it was "very important" to have purchase choices both offline and online.

I know a lot of Husker wristband maker followers might not agree with me on this, but for no matter what cause, Memorial Stadium isn't a significant issue any longer. The fans are nevertheless as passionate as ever and among the very best in the nation, which makes it even tougher to figure out. What I think will help Nebraska on Saturday is that the game is at evening. For some purpose there just looks to be a different feeling or ambiance in the stadium when the game is in the evening. Day video games just don't look to carry as a lot pleasure and that appears to be evident in the group's play.

The subsequent select was to the Rams in which they took the 300-pounder out of Baylor, in Tackle Jason Smith. A conservative pick for the Rams soon after shedding Orlando Pace to totally free agency. They needed to find a person to aid rebuild their line and Jason Smith could possibly be that outlet.

I've been on a feverish lookout for maple syrup. REAL maple syrup. Turns out it doesn't exist here.. and if it does, it's very rare.
I was browsing a (now favourite) health food store and low and behold - the gates of heaven opened. There it was on the shelf, with the familiar-looking tin. Real maple syrup. From Canada. Hell yeah. I picked that sucker up. €16 (500ml).
I came home and was all happy and excited and told W. of my purchase. I made pancakes the following Sunday morning just to celebrate.
With caution and intent, I placed one pancake on my plate, put on some butter, drizzled the syrup, cut into them and took my first bite. First... I was content. Happy. A familiar taste. But wait, what's that? It tastes a bit different. *Way* sweeter than I'm used to.
Yeah. I didn't entirely notice the front (I blame tunnel vision). Grade: C+. As in.. not the prime maple syrup you're used to buying from the store (most likely, in that area) or your market vendor. It's the last pick of the season. Probably over-boiled. There's also a more sharp smell to it, if that makes any sense. You can smell the sugar.
So.. I'm sad. I'm going to have to ask for Canadian Maple Syrup supplies just to live :P I have a plan, though. To import it, maybe make a little money and show the Dutch what *real* syrup is ;) Doing research at the moment and we'll see what the process holds.
Wish me luck!

Maple Syrup. Not.

Aw! I hope you make a fortune importing REAL Quebec maple syrup! For a country with such an affinity for sweets (I mean, they even eat chocolate sprinkles on bread) ..they certainly deserve real maple syrup!
P.S. I LOVE eating chocolate sprinkles on toast. They get all melty *drool*. -Nicole H.

text: Hi, Now the internet has become a business hub, where most of the advertisers try to catch with their products . There are also services freely provided by some organisations like free sms free email alerts, particularly email alerts. These companies do use the mobile phone nos to advertise their clients products. While forwarding the emails to them to get the alert from them in your mobile for free is a service ofcourse. I also learnt that the emails will go to them only as pulses and not as actual messages, so they could not be able to see the contents of the messages in their servers. Is it true or not. Secondly, I also noticed that some time if there is a blockage of some technical fault, the actual mail you receive (not mail alert) will also be affected. Even though it is a free service, approved by the law.

In this module we asked to explore using Picasa to share photos/images. Initially I uploaded photos using Google's Photo app - before trying the Picasa app. Honestly, although I found that Picasa has more options, the Photos app as part of the Google suite of tools was much easier and straightforward, not requiring me to install anything else.
Having the photos online allows me to visually reflect on a learning activity from a class - in the particular example I uploaded for this module, I am able to see examples of student conceptions regarding the model of the atom. It allows me to work out what I could change for next time. For this particular activity I was happy with what my students developed in small teams - it accurately reflected the model I wanted them to understand.
More powerfully, publishing online allows a user to share photos with a colleague and allows for external contributions, rather than leaving things in just the one classroom/professional learning team.

The First Female Action Star
Pam Grier has just released her autobiography and I'm really hoping it comes out on audio so I can listen to it at work. She was on the Leonard Lopate show the other day and totally sold me on the book.
My favorite quote from the interview :
"I treated these wet t-shirt roles seriously, as if it was Chekhov".

A&E Networks will run its upcoming "Bonnie & Clyde" miniseries simultaneously on Lifetime, History and A&E later this year, the company plans to announce Wednesday at its upfront presentation in New York.
The unusual simulcast will allow A&E Networks to combine female-skewing Lifetime viewers with male-skewing History and A&E's broader adult audience -- all the better, the thinking goes, to offer ad buyers larger reach at one time. It is the first such attempt by the company but is likely to be repeated if it works.
"Bonnie & Clyde" is the latest big-budget TV miniseries, where History has been spearheading the genre's return to prominence -- first with "Hatfields & McCoys," whose finale averaged 14.3 million viewers, and then "The Bible," whose finale got 10.3 million viewers. Their success also spawned History's first scripted series, "Vikings," which has been renewed for a second season.
History is now committed to building out its scripted programming, planning two additional miniseries: "Houdini," which will star Adrian Brody, and "Sons of Liberty." It will spin "Hatfields & McCoys," meanwhile, into a reality show.
The A&E network will use the upfront -- part of TV's annual effort to sell ad time in the upcoming season -- to introduce its next scripted drama, "Those Who Kill," which stars Chloe Sevigny as a police detective who tracks down serial killers. A&E will also announce a "Storage Wars" spinoff, with bidder Barry Weiss from the original show. The network enters the upfronts following the season finale of "Duck Dynasty," which drew 9.6 million viewers, and the success of its most recent scripted drama, "Bates Motel."
Lifetime will add a scripted series, "Witches of East End," about a family of witches, and "Devious Maids," a new project from Marc Cherry and Eva Longoria airing in June. It is also renewing the reality competition series "Abby's Ultimate Dance Competition" for a second season.
A&E Networks plans to emphasize its broad success, arguing that it accumulates audiences without over-relying on any one program, genre or night, and without any costly sports programming. The company has seen an executive shakeup in recent weeks, with Nancy Dubuc rising to president and CEO, succeeding Abbe Raven, who was named to the newly created role of chairman. The ad sales team has also been ramping up and restructuring, with an emphasis on partnerships and research.
The partnership group, led by David DeSocio, is working to develop custom creative executions in the network's specials, while the research team, led by Michael Greco, is spearheading studies to provide clients with insights into viewers' passions and marketing to men and women.
As A&E Networks focuses on selling content across platforms, the company has also formed a new business development group, headed by Louis Jerome and Susan Webber Gatto. Chris Lenge, VP of business affairs, will focus on History and H2. Jim Agius, Amy Baker and Peter Olsen, have been promoted to oversee advertising on A&E, Lifetime and History, respectively. And Michael Peretz was also promoted to exec VP-ad sales, revenue management and operations.
"We are not just selling cable TV any more... We need to think of it more broadly than selling TV ratings points," said Mel Berning, president of ad sales, in an interview ahead of the presentation.

Air is the most essential element needed to sustain life. Overall health of your body and mind in a great degree depends upon the amount of pure, fresh air breathed. But nowadays people often tend to forget about the importance of spending time outside and underestimate the health benefits of spending time outdoors.
Why oxygen is essential?
A steady supply of fresh air that is full of oxygen is very important. Fresh air provides you with a steady supply of oxygen which is needed by your brain and every single cell of your body. The body is made up of cells. Cells in turn make up tissues and tissues in turn make up the organs of the body. Every function carried on by the body is directly related to the life of the cells. Cells need four things to live and function properly such as oxygen, water, nutrition and cleansing. Without oxygen the cells die in three minutes as it is one chemical essential for the cells to create energy.
Health benefits of fresh air
The air that you breathe in any indoor location is not as fresh as your body needs to remain healthy. This is why health experts highly recommend taking a break from the indoor air and to go out to enjoy fresh air. There are many health benefits of fresh air, such as:
Fresh air cleans the lungs and helps to bring more oxygen to the cells and improves the cleansing action of your lungs. When you exhale and breathe out through your lungs, you release airborne toxins from your body. The increased oxygen level in the body brings with it increased energy to do the things you need to do.
More oxygen also brings greater clarity to the brain, which needs twenty percent of our body's oxygen to function. When you breathe fresh air you can automatically think better as compared to when you remain inside a room for a longer period of time.
Fresh air is good for digestion as it helps you to digest food more effectively. That is why experts' recommend taking a small walk outside after you eat. From all the health benefits of fresh air, this one is really important if you are trying to lose weight.
Fresh air also improves your blood pressure and heart rate. Those who have a problem with blood pressure should avoid staying at polluted environments and try to stay in surroundings that have a good supply of fresh air. Dirty environment forces the body to work harder, to get the amount of oxygen it needs.
The amount of serotonin your body has is hugely affected by the amount of oxygen you inhale. Serotonin can significantly lighten your mood and promote a sense of happiness and well-being. Fresh air will leave you feeling more refreshed and relaxed.
Fresh air is also essential to make your immune system strong. White blood cells require more oxygen when working to kill and destroy bacteria, viruses, and germs. They need enough oxygen to work and function properly.
Fresh air purifies the blood, imparts to it a bright colour, and sends the blood, a life-giving current, to every part of the body.
What happens when you stay in closed area?
If you stay in a closed in area for a long period of time, you will end up breathing in the same air over and over again. The oxygen content of the air will go down. Breathing this stale air will not supply your body with enough oxygen to keep your cells fueled and functioning properly. If you are breathing in stale air, you may suffer from certain health problems such as dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue and exhaustion, irritability, anxiety, depression, frequent fevers, colds, or lung diseases.
If you are spending most of your time inside the air conditioned office or home, you are forcing your body to use stale air. By doing so you are making it harder for your body to stay healthy and fresh.
Where can you find fresh air?
Oxygen is a very important component of life. Fresh air is a free gift that we need to breathe liberally. To enjoy fresh air, it does not mean that you can find it everywhere outdoors. In large cities, finding clean and fresh air is not an easy task as the natural freshness of air is destroyed by tobacco smoke, city smog, re-circulating air in buildings, improper ventilation, exhaust, and many other pollutants.
In big cities, you need to find a park or garden with plenty of trees and plants to enjoy fresh air. Also good quality air can be found in abundance around seashore and beaches.
Tips to get refreshing fresh air
Getting a bit of sunlight and fresh air every day is one of the most important things you can do in order to keep your body healthy. Here are certain tips to enjoy fresh air:One of the best ways to receive the benefits from fresh air is to go out into the open air by walking or gardening. This enables the lungs to expand and be filled with the negatively charged oxygen molecules.
Try to do exercises outdoor in fresh air as it will benefit you more. When more clean air is inhaled, it improves the breathing technique
which in turn increases stamina.
Try to do jogging every day outside in a nice jogging trail away from the city. Avoid jogging on an indoor track or along a side walk.
Once in a week or two go for hiking in the forest. It is a great way to get the fresh air your body needs and it will be a relaxing experience for you.
Keep plants in your home and work environment to help improve the air quality. Plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide from the air. Some plants can even remove toxic pollutants from the air.
Get some exercise on a daily basis. When you can, try to exercise outside. Exercise gets your circulation going and floods your body with oxygen.
If you can, sleep with your bedroom window open. You can also leave your bedroom door open to increase the transfer of air.
To conclude, getting outdoors to enjoy fresh air should not be a chore, but a privilege. Take the time to breathe freely the revitalizing, invigorating fresh air created by nature to enjoy numerous health benefits!

Nearly 1 lakh ATMs recalibrated till today: Will it become easier to withdraw cash?
Close to one lakh ATMs, which account for about 45% of the cash vending machines in the country, will be recalibrated by Wednesday morning and made ready to dispense currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 2,000, officials have said.black money crackdown Updated: Nov 23, 2016 10:59 IST
Close to one lakh ATMs, which account for about 45% of the cash vending machines in the country, will be recalibrated by Wednesday morning and made ready to dispense currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 2,000, officials have said.
"Out of 2.2 lakh ATMs, 82,500 were recalibrated till Monday evening. We are recalibrating about 12,000-14,000 units on a daily basis, so I assume and hope it should be done by tomorrow (Wednesday). These ATMs have been reset as per the direction of the task force set up by the government and RBI," Rituraj Sinha, president of Cash Logistics Association of India, said.
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) set up a task force last week under its deputy governor SS Mundra to oversee the recalibration of the automated teller machines after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on November 8 that Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes will be scrapped as legal tender.
Read | Demonetisation: Ten things to know before heading to a bank or ATM
The surprise move was aimed at curbing illicit funds and corruption.
ATM cash logistics firms met RBI officials and banks' currency heads in order to sort the dearth of cash availability at the ATMs.
"The RBI wants the banks to make the currency available at ATMs on a priority basis. Earlier, we were required to replenish the ATMs twice a day with Rs 100 and lower denomination notes. With the new Rs 2,000 and Rs 500 currency notes, the availability of cash at ATMs has increased and hence queues are shortening. ATM functioning should normalise in a month," Sinha said.
Sinha, also a member of the RBI task force, added that the ATMs have been recalibrated in a manner that regional balance is maintained while giving priority to rural areas.
With the recalibration, ATMs are now stocking Rs 50-60 lakh and are able to cater to a higher demand as against Rs 4-5 lakh earlier. With more cash at ATMs, queues outside such machines are also getting smaller.
"... We have added additional field force to manage our logistics. The queues are more manageable now. We are working round the clock," Navroz Dastur, CEO of NCR India, a leading ATM firm, said.

House is nice and clean. Plenty of space for large party. Owner was very responsive when we had an HVAC issue. Would / will stay there again.
This was a great location for us. Close to everything we wanted, including the ocean, the St. Johns river, Blue Springs park and manatees, Ponce De Leon park, shopping, great restaurants and more. Yet out in the country enough to be private and peaceful. The house was very spacious and very clean. Great furniture and more than enough towels, sheets and blankets and space to satisfy a much larger group. Kitchen well outfitted, including blenders and coffee makers. And the owner went out of her way to do extra things to make the time there more fun for our teenage daughter and her friend. We would gladly stay here again!
It was the perfect retreat for my husband and our adult children as we were in the area for the Memorial Service for my mother-in-law. There was plenty of room for us all....and then some! We enjoyed our stay in the beautiful and quiet atmosphere, and Jean was very pleasant when we corresponded with her.
We did have a little difficulty finding the house in the dark as we arrived at 4AM.... we were all very tired after driving from Atlanta and not very wide awake!

Given that the brain is the cradle of your emotions and your psyche, it is not surprising that a brain attack can have psychological reverberations. As you recover from your stroke, you may find yourself flooded with feelings that are overpowering or misplaced. It's not uncommon to feel an increased urge to laugh or cry inappropriately, or to get angry easily. You may also experience sexual dysfunction. Although counseling is part of rehabilitation, your need for counseling may last far longer than your need for muscle-strengthening exercises or speech therapy. Psychosocial counseling for you and your family can help you learn to live with the aftershocks of your stroke.

Situated on a small road leading to the Pier, the Boatyard Inn of Bangor, North Wales offers guests just as warm a welcome today as it probably did for many sea workers, sailors and fishermen years ago. Almost sitting upon the water's edge, the pub embodies the character and atmosphere of a traditional sea-side tavern.
Once visited by Prince William and Kate who live in neighbouring Anglesey, The Boatyard Inn won several awards whilst under the ownership and management of Hayley Meek. Last year, the pub was named as Marston's regional pub of the year for its food and it came runner-up in the newcomer of the year category in 2010. The pub is also listed in the CAMRA (Real Ale) guide as pub of the season for Gwynedd and Anglesey.
As I enter The Boatyard Inn I see a cosy little room decked out with seaside memorabilia to my right. Continuing left through the bar to the restaurant the nautical theme continues, the wall adorned with historical boating artefacts like a captain's wheel, a rubber ring and a set of seaman's knots.
The minute we enter we are greeted by a smiling, young waiter who has reserved us a spot next to the window, enabling us to enjoy the breath-taking views over Bangor harbour and the Menai Strait. As he goes to the bar to get us some drinks, we take the opportunity to have a good look around the restaurant. Rustic wooden floorboards are teamed with vibrant red walls with tables and chairs to match, adding to the warm, homely feel of the restaurant.
Each table is presented beautifully with a red flower, folded serviette and tea-light candle.
Behind us, a paned glass window separates this section of the restaurant from the pub. Peeking through, we can see sketches and paintings of vessels from years gone by, scattered randomly all over the wall.
Turning our attention to the evening menu it's no surprise that seafood and fish play a big part, with fresh red mullet, sea bass and mussels on offer alongside several daily specials. However, those of you who are not keen on fish will be pleased to hear that the menu also features popular options like lamb cutlets and rib-eye steak. The daytime menu has even more variety – pub classics, salads, grilled dishes, sharing platters, seafood favourites, vegetarian options and children's meals. A carvery is also served on Sundays.
For starters I order the black pudding wrapped in bacon, baked and set over a fresh ratatouille (£6.95). The combination of rich, smooth black pudding and crispy bacon is delicious, whilst the saucy ratatouille removes any risk of the dish being too dry. I don't know why I've never thought to try this myself before, but I'm definitely going to give it a go at home.
My guest opts for the crispy whitebait with side salad (£6.95). Whitebait is not to everyone's liking, but these ones are pleasantly crispy and they taste very fresh. The inclusion of red onion and colourful peppers makes the side salad more exciting than the lone lettuce leaves served up by some of the other pub restaurants I've been to.
For my main course I am keen to try out the fish, being as The Boatyard Inn appear to pride themselves upon it. I decide to try sea bass for the very first time, flash-fried with fresh prawns, lime and dill on a bed of creamy mash (£11.95). Elegantly presented and drizzled with red pesto, the fillet is light and tender with a delicate taste, so fresh that it could even have been caught the same day. Judging from this experience, I think I'll be eating a lot more sea bass from now on.
My vegetarian guest chooses the mushroom and chestnut stroganoff with a timbale of rice and seasonal vegatables (£9.95). Although the daytime menu lists several veggie favourites, it's a bit disappointing that the evening menu only features one option. Luckily though, this dish is superb in every way and impossible to fault. Flavoursome, creamy and moreish – I try some myself and even as a firm fan of meat, I almost begin to wish I'd ordered this!
Our main courses are both served with a bowl of seasonal vegetables, steamed to preserve their texture and flavour.
We are really impressed with our meal and so we decide to stay for dessert, the waiter tempting us with his recommendation of the Baileys crème brulee served with vanilla ice cream (£4.95). I decide to follow his
advice, and I don't regret it. The crunchy, caramelised surface is a gorgeous golden brown. Breaking it with my spoon, I discover a smooth sauce which tastes of egg and vanilla, flavoured with a hint of Baileys liqueur. The toffee-coloured drizzle is delicious, but I can't figure out what it is. A quick chat with pub owner Hayley reveals it to be mango sauce – now you wouldn't expect that to go with Baileys crème brulee, but it certainly does.
My guest succumbs to one of the more traditional dessert dishes in the form of the homemade fruit crumble, served with fresh dairy custard (£4.95). This contains real pieces of fresh fruit, helping to justify polishing off the moat of sinfully-delicious custard which surrounds it.
The Boatyard Inn should have a firm place on the to-do list of anyone who pays a visit to Bangor. With its seaside location and nautical theme, the traditional pub offers a very warm welcome. The staff develop a great rapport with customers and have an extensive knowledge of the restaurant menu, whilst the food is all of a high quality and presentation is key. As far as pub grub goes The Boatyard Inn is a little more costly than other venues, but every aspect of the dining experience goes above and beyond what you may usually expect, or receive. You get what you pay for at The Boatyard Inn. If you're planning a longer stay in Bangor, The Boatyard Inn also provides a B&B service with three guestrooms available and a promise of "a hearty breakfast"!

The Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the virtual machine component of Microsoft's .NET framework, manages the execution of .NET programs. A process known as just-in-time compilation converts compiled code into machine instructions which the computer's CPU then executes. The CLR provides additional services including memory management, type safety, exception handling, garbage collection, security and thread management. All programs written for the .NET framework, regardless of programming language, are executed by the CLR. All versions of the .NET framework include CLR.
CLR implements the Virtual Execution System (VES) as defined in the Common Language Infrastructure (CLI) standard, initially developed by Microsoft itself. A public standard defines the Common Language Infrastructure specification.
CLR release history:
The runtime provides the following benefits:
- Performance improvements.
- The ability to easily use components developed in other languages.
- Extensible types provided by a class library.
- Language features such as inheritance, interfaces, and overloading for object-oriented programming.
- Support for explicit free threading that allows creation of multithreaded, scalable applications.
- Support for structured exception handling.
- Support for custom attributes.
- Garbage collection.
- Use of delegates instead of function pointers for increased type safety and security.

She's a mom. She's inked. She treads the ridiculously complex world of WordPress web development and CSS like no other. Meet Jennifer Gardiner, the latest addition to the Seafoam Media team! Before she came to us, Jennifer was previously working as a marketing manager for a company that specializes in digital marketing for law firms. As a multi-talented individual, she brings 15 years of web development experience and SEO knowledge, and has a strong track record of finishing projects remotely and efficiently.
A little more about Jennifer:
If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?
If I could have just 1 super power, I would like to fly. A lot of the times when I've got a million things going on, to just fly above everything for a while and clear my head would be so nice and calming. Also, being able to go wherever I want really fast would be awesome too. 😉
What are you most passionate about professionally? What most excites you about your work and the contribution you can make?
I am most passionate about development professionally. I like taking something that is either given to me by a professional artist or that is in my head and putting it to work. I like problem solving and seeing that I actually made it work in the end. Seeing the end result of what I do still amazes me that I actually did it!
What apps, software or tools can't you live without? Why?
Professionally; Dreamweaver, Notepad ++, Photoshop, my laptop of course, and tablets. Personally: Spotify, Pinterest, and Yummily…those I use daily!
What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I LOVE to garden. I've got this weird green thumb that just comes naturally. I'm surrounded by plants. I also crochet and paint wall murals. I raise Siberian Huskies. I have also become well versed in the world of Little League Football and Baseball through my sons, so I like to throw a ball around with them. I've relearned the world of magic fairies and that Barbie has thoughts of her own through imaginative play with my daughter.
What do you like most about working remotely?
I like the fact that I can be home for the kids if I need to be. Most of them are either at school or work during the day, but if they need me… I'm here. Also, I like to be able to get up and go in my kitchen and make lunch or coffee, or whatever it is that I'm needing. I can throw in a load of laundry for the baseball game coming that evening if I need to. I also like the fact that I can play my music as loud as I want and it doesn't bother anyone!
What does your workspace look like?
My workspace today is at my kitchen table, but usually it's in an office I had built in my bedroom when we expanded the house. It's a 5ft x 7ft "closet" with a window. It has a built in desk. I like it because I was able to make it however I wanted. I chose everything, down to where and how many outlets I had in there.

Hi there,
I am looking at going to Okinawa (main island and a few other ones) in September.
It is taifun season, so it is very possible my travels will be disrupted by one or more taifuns.
I would like to take a travel insurance to cover my flight, hotel and possibly diving costs if this does happen.
Because for the purpose of the insurances I have been able to find I am considered a Japanese resident, I am not allowed to apply for a travel insurance. (I don't want the health part of it - I am covered already by the 4 health insurances we have to sign up for).
Does anyone know what I could do?
