I saw this over at Criterion. How good is it?
Both the movie and the Criterion release of it are really good IMHO... The Criterion release (as well as the UK release) also has an earlier Kubrick noir with it, 'Killer's Kiss'. It's a bit clunky, but something about it I love. I upgraded my Criterion DVD's to the UK blu-ray, but kept the Criterion because of the different extra's.And FWIW, in regards to the discussion about the ending... The entire suitcase business is pretty dumb and careless planning, but the ending itself is telegraphed in an earlier scene involving the suitcase.
well as I discussed extensively earlier in this post, my problem is not with the "crime doesn't pay element" per se. My problem is with how it is done in this movie; the whole dog causing the porter to swerve causing the suitcase to fall, that's silly
It's 1956 the MPPC code may have demanded that they don't get away with it.

7 Keys to Relieving Student Stress
"I had church last night after soccer and then had homework in three classes. I got some of it done for my other classes, but not this one. My Mom made me go to bed at midnight before I was able to finish my essay."
It wasn't the first time this particular 8th grade student came to me overwhelmed with trying to juggle everything in his life. We met at least once a week to come up with ideas to help him keep his straight-A average, continue being a star player on his soccer team, and enjoy some family time each day without having a meltdown. I worked with him for two years to develop strategies to manage it all; fortunately, those rough couple years in middle school set him up for success in high school.
Now, more than ever, students are stressed out due to obligations with school, sports, church, lessons, family, jobs, friendships, the list is endless. The American Psychological Association (APA) reports that students are often overwhelmed and depressed as a result of stress. And while the causes make for quite a list, a survey by the American Psychological Association found that nearly half of all teens (45%) said they were stressed by school pressures. A little bit of anxiousness can be a good thing, and can even motivate students. However, too much can cause problems with sleep, eating, and overall health, not to mention school becoming a burden. So what can we do to help?
Here are 7 keys to relieving student stress that will help them maintain balance in their young lives:
1. Exercise
A couple years ago, I ran a marathon. The marathon itself wasn't the stress reliever, but rather the training that went into it. After I got over the agony of the first few miles, I'd set in and enjoy the running. With each mile, I felt the tension leaving my body, and by the end, I was relaxed and ready for whatever came my way.
Students do not need to run to experience the stress-relief that exercise brings. Whether it is playing on a school team, preparing for a dance recital, or playing a pick-up basketball game, exercise of any kind will cut down on their stress levels. Exercise stimulates the brain chemicals (endorphins, norepinephrine and serotonin) which cause relaxation and happiness. Exercise can be both proactive and reactive, meaning that it can keep stress from building up and can be used "in the moment" like a pressure-release valve. A person engaging in regular exercise will be more relaxed on average than a person who is not. At the same time, when tense or worried, getting a good sweat going often alleviates the pressure of whatever is bothering you.
2. Meditation, visualization, and breathing exercises
Sometimes we just need to stop and breathe. When I'm overwhelmed, I want to get far away from the pressures that are on me. Unfortunately, I cannot just disappear to a tropical island when I need to decompress. So, instead, I find a focal point and take some deep breaths before going back to the task at hand.
It is easy to teach students to do the same. I frequently have students who stress out before tests. Taking a few moments to teach them a deep-breathing technique before giving them their tests completely changes the dynamic. I also remind them that they can repeat this strategy during the test as well. While I have never had a student stop breathing, I have had a couple experience so much anxiety that hyperventilation ensued – finding a focal point and deep breathing helped them get back on track.
Once the body is in a relaxed state of mind, one can easily slip into meditation. I know several teachers that use short and simple meditations with their students on a regular basis.
3. Music
When I need inspiration, energy, relaxation, or entertainment, I turn on the tunes.
When I run, I listen to music that has a good beat and inspires me to keep going. For road trips, I turn up the volume and do some seat dancing. Writing means mellow instrumental music of some kind. Regardless of the genre, my body mirrors it.
A few years ago, I did an experiment with my students. I gave them a writing assignment with a deadline at the end of class. The first time I gave the assignment, there was no music and much anxiety about getting it done on time. The next time, I assigned a similar topic and deadline, but I turned on some instrumental jazz music. The results were as I expected. When the music was on, the students' writing was of a better quality and there was more of it. The third time I gave the assignment, I gave them the option of listening to their own music with headphones. Again, there was improvement. When students listen to music, they tend to focus in better on the task at hand, which lessens their stress.
4. Organization
Chaos and disorganization cause stress in my life. If the area around me, such as my desk or my house, is messy and disorganized, I have a very difficult time relaxing. The same is true when I know there are things I need to do and I haven't prioritized them. I will putter around and do very little of what needs to be done – not a good strategy when there are 150 essays that need to be graded sitting amongst the day's clutter on my desk. Just looking at the stack of them causes me to mentally clench up. Only when I clean up my desk am I able to get through more than one every 30 minutes.
One of the best ways to relieve stress is to stop it before it starts. Prioritizing what needs to be done and creating a plan of action are both ways of making all that needs to be done become more manageable. Who doesn't like marking things off a "to-do" list as we complete them? Students who have a strategy to keep their homework, schedule, locker, notebooks, etc. organized typically have more free time and, as a result, less stress.
5. Sleep/Nap
Kindergarten teachers have it right. Nap time gives not only teachers an opportunity to recharge, but also a way to re-center their students. Most students, especially teens, do not get enough sleep, which means their bodies are not getting the resting time they need to recharge. Eight to ten hours of sleep are needed to support a student's ability to learn, listen, concentrate, and solve problems. When one has difficulty with those tasks, more stress is created. One way to end this vicious cycle is getting more shut-eye.
My students often ask for nap time during the day… although in their case, chances are that they're asking in order to avoid schoolwork. While it is not possible to fit a nap into their schedule amidst all the academic requirements, a short afternoon nap after school may help before jumping into their homework.
6. Animals
When I think of animals that reduce stress, I tend to think of furry ones like dogs and cats. The types of interactions you can have with them are as varied as the kinds of warm fuzzies there are. However, there are other animals that can relieve tension as well. Watching fish swim comes to mind. And my daughter doesn't go for the furry animals – she holds her snake, Marvel. While that would not work for me (as I would be worrying about it getting loose and our cat using her as a new toy), she holds Marvel for hours. I see the anxiety leaving her body as the snake winds and coils around her arm.
When we are playing with or petting an animal, we tend to smile. Not only is it a means of enjoyment for us, it increases the levels of oxytocin (known for reducing stress) and inhibits cortisol (which contributes to increasing it). Spending just five minutes with a special animal, even a snake, can make all the difference in one's mood.
7. Coloring or other means of creativity
Remember when we used to color for fun? Those days do not need to be over. Spend time coloring. There are no rules on what color you need to use or whether or not you need to stay in the lines. If coloring is not your thing, other means of creativity are relaxing as well. Whether it's drawing, writing, painting, dancing, playing an instrument, or building with Legos, engaging in something you find joy in always lessens stress.
When my son was young, his means of reducing stress was building dams across a creek. He would build one just to take it down the next time and build it in a different way. My daughter writes. The genre of her writing changes depending on the creative state that she is in. It could be poetry, character sketches, fiction, or a journal entry… it all works for her. You need to find what works best for you.
You determine what means you want to use to reduce your stress. For me, it varies depending on the situation, where I am, and what is available to me. I teach my students the strategies listed above. We all have a strategy we tend to rely on more than others. However, different situations call for different approaches. That's why it is imperative that we work with our students to help them develop and find a variety of ways to reduce their own stresses.

The Greatest Fitness Trackers Of 2018Wirecutter supports our readers with 1000's of hours of reporting and testing to help you discover the stuff you want with a view to live a greater life. Mio ALPHA : This strapless heart charge monitor with a watch kind factor information continuous heart price, together with during intense exercise. Mio HYPERLINK: This strapless coronary heart charge monitor with a health band form factor information steady coronary heart charge, together with during intense train. PulseOn : Tracks heart rate constantly, and interprets it for you, providing data and ideas that allow you to perceive your coronary heart fee with respect to your each day actions and thereby allowing you to optimize your workouts. The next evaluation paints a sorry image of the MATCH's coronary heart fee monitoring capability.
Not all health trackers are like wristwatches and lots of come within the form of small, lightweight bands just like the Fitbit Alta HR, or can be attached to your ankle just like the Moov Now. A health tracker works alongside an app constructed to your smartphone and different units. Having strong software to assist the fitness tracker will make conserving a tab on your exercise far simpler. This can assist monitor working, however adding a GPS can add to the price and weight of a fitness tracker.
From the choices like GPS, Coronary heart rate monitoring to even controlling the telephone notifications, fitbit had custom-made its tracker to do it all to present you a wide variety of options. If you happen to don't actually use the GPS for the health routine of your every day life you are higher off utilizing some other variants that fitbit has to offer. It shows the options like coronary heart monitoring and GPS tracking all of the day long to maintain a superb track on the user. We are able to simple say that that is the best fitness monitoring watch that apple has launched yet.
Realizing this quantity and the way it modifications over time can give you a sense of your fitness level and whether your exercise plan is bettering your heart's ability to pump blood. A number of health trackers measure continuous heart rate, usually by way of a wrist-primarily based optical sensor or through using a paired chest strap coronary heart charge monitor. Garmin VivoFit fitness band: Can import data from Garmin Coronary heart Charge Monitors/Chest Straps.
If announcements made and merchandise launched in the first half of 2014 are of any indication, vast alternatives exist for marketers to reinforce their mobile and location advertising methods primarily based both on what people do, in addition to how they feel. As Nike's current transfer to downsize its FuelBand division hints at, there's plenty of evolution in wearable device's future to determine one of the best methods to assist us stay extra related lives. Smartwatches have also come into the same market as many health trackers and there is some overlap, making the choice between them more durable.
Garmin's health trackers are thought-about to be for extra serious athletes than some other manufacturers of health tracker. This can be seen from the complexity of Garmin's Join app and the variables monitored by its fitness tracker range. The Vivosmart three is waterproof for swimming and showering, whereas it additionally has a rep counter to be used during strength workout routines.
The GPS functionality gives you an edge over the opposite devices that you just use together with your fitness routine. There are a number of options for sports within the device, from the wrist primarily based heart sensors you possibly can run with out caring for the system's safety. The notifications on the garmin are also fairly well adjusted as compared to other health trackers as it offers you correct info on the right time.
With major players like Apple and Samsung certain to deliver merchandise designed for the mainstream and wearable at the core, mark my words: commerce is not the one thing that wearable units will in the end redefine; we're taking a look at solely reprogrammed ways wearable fitness trackers of living all through our on a regular basis lives, based on the constant connectivity and data inputs that wearables already do and will quickly present sooner or later.
Battery life: In comparison with smartwatches, most health trackers have wonderful battery life, from anyplace between several days to 6 months. Accuracy: You might be by no means going to get excellent accuracy from a wrist-worn tracker compared to a chest-mounted heart price monitor or GPS machine. It is good to bear in mind that fitness trackers are greatest for incremental improvements and encouraging exercise, and fewer an exact measure of your each day calorie burn. The glossy metal tube can be worn as an accessory on a series or around your neck, or as a classic health band.
It may well monitor a huge vary of exercises with watchOS4, comes with a heart fee monitor, and can soon be capable of plug in to a wide range of fitness center equipment, logging your information as you go. For most individuals, who wish to do some casual fitness monitoring and do not want to spend an excessive amount of, the Fitbit Cost 2 represents an honest funding in an affordable health tracker that can monitor activity and plug you in to the superb Fitbit app. The identical can't be stated for well being and health trackers, which have a clearly outlined use case and are already carving out a market inside shopper electronics.
As customers flock to strap on the latest in fitness technologies reminiscent of a Fitbit, Pebble's watch or Jawbone's UP, or drool over the futuristic capabilities of Google Glass, it's clear that, while there isn't a distinct winner (yet) amongst feature-rich, practical devices, wearable technologies are playing an necessary role in lives of right this moment's digitally savvy shoppers.

LaserCoil CAM takes only minutes from the importing of CAD files to active cutting of a simple blank. To illustrate its efficiency, imagine if you could design and machine a blanking die for a complex part in less than 30 minutes.
Napoleon, Ohio (PRWEB) November 10, 2016
LaserCoil Technologies LLC has announced the addition of LaserCoil CAM to its coil-fed laser blanking systems, automating the importing of part profiles for optimized nesting and laser cutting to save significant time and money. LaserCoil CAM accommodates single and multiple cutting heads, as well as peripheral automation, such as the system's dynamic conveyor lanes. In addition to optimizing the part recipes, LaserCoil CAM also controls and monitors the LaserCoil system during production.
"Creating nesting and cutting programs is a time-intensive process requiring a skilled technician," said LaserCoil Chief Technology Officer Jay Finn. "LaserCoil CAM takes only minutes from the importing of CAD files to active cutting of a simple blank. To illustrate its efficiency, imagine if you could design and machine a blanking die for a complex part in less than 30 minutes."
The program is designed for ease-of-use, enabling even less experienced system operators to quickly create an optimized program. LaserCoil CAM starts by creating a recipe with pre-built initial cutting parameters that are supplemented with the blank's profile data imported via a CAD file. The user can either ask the software to select the best coil from multiple coils in inventory, create the best nest for a specific coil width, or permit the program to specify the optimum coil width based upon part yield.
Taking into consideration the appropriate grain constraint for material flow as well as part profile, the software identifies the best nesting pattern. LaserCoil CAM then determines how the profiles will be cut by the laser. Next, the operator generates the cutting path, and adjustments can be made by simply clicking on the profile parameters and setting a new cutting routine. A simulation is run to show the sequenced travel path of the laser cutting head.
"We've achieved real-world results that prove the value of this first LaserCoil CAM release," noted Scott Sonnenberg, LaserCoil director of mechanical engineering/product development. "This software provides our customers a single interface to help reduce programming time and scrap rates, as well as improve their throughput and yield."
By laser cutting direct from coil stock, LaserCoil systems provides a fast and flexible approach to blanking that is well-suited for production environments that run multiple blank profiles and materials in runs of up to 100,000. The systems can process a wide variety of coil material in aluminum, mild steel, the new high-strength steels, and other materials for surface sensitive panels as well as structural components in thicknesses from 0.5 to 3.5mm and up to 2m wide coil at any length.
For more information on this approach to laser cutting of coil strip, visit http://www.lasercoil.com or watch the LaserCoil CAM video.

A final view of Ecton Hill.
Walk stats: Distance: 7.6 miles. Climb: 1078'.
Time: 4 hours 52 minutes. On the move walking average: 2.1 m.p.h. Overall walk average: 1.6 m.p.h.
Group: Martyn and Mike.
We drove along the Warslow road from the Green Man with head lights and fog lights on and arrived at Hulme End with the temperature being 10.5 Celsius. At the end of the walk we arrived back at he car in sunshine a temperature of 21.0 Celsius.
We set off on the Manifold Trail, heading for Ecton Hill, but as it was still decked in mist/cloud we decide to do the Revidge loop first.
Almost as soon as we had turned off the Manifold Trail we had the delight of seeing a Tawny owl take to flight from a tree a few feet from us. Although it landed in a tree about 20 metres away, the tree's foliage prevented us from getting a clear view.
This was a good start to the day, and it wasn't long before the weather improved, the Sun came out and the mist cleared.
The rest of the walk was in warm sunshine with a gentle breeze and good views in all direction, especially from the top of Revidge.
Soon after leaving the road at the Butcher's Arms, we couldn't find the path that we wanted and ended up taking another path that led to the road we wanted near Kirkham Yard Farm.
After crossing Warslow - Longnor Road we were fortunate to find a large tree that had been felled and were able to take advantage of the seating opportunities it gave as a lunch spot.
This was a day for getting D of E experience, we saw at least three groups walking in the same area as us and several more as we arrived back at Hulme End.
Bird seen or heard included: House sparrow, barn swallow, Eurasian curlew, Black-billed magpie, Carrion crow, Woodpigeon, Common blackbird, Goldfinch and Tawny Owl.
We arrived back at Hulme just after three, so we decided that we would give Ecton Hill a miss and head for for the Wilkes Head in Leek for a drop of amber nectar - Whim Ales's Hartington Bitter. It didn't disappoint!

Hollywood hottie Paul Walker tells Neala Johnson Clint Eastwood is a blue-collar guy.
Earlier in the year you came to Australia to promote Eight Below. How was life in the Disney world?
I thought it was going to be terrible. I assumed they were going to have me go out and do things I just couldn't bear doing, but they were really cool about it. I was never doing anything begrudgingly. I thought I was going to be doing Tennis Shoe Weekly, Lollipop Magazine and God knows whatever else. It makes it easier, too, when you're talking about a movie, (1) that you like, and, (2) that also did well.
You would have run the gamut, in terms of the success and quality of the films you've made so far.
It's funny because the movie that you don't necessarily think is all that good a lot of the time is the one that people like the most. And when people like something you've been in, it's amazing how fast it'll change your mind or your opinion (laughs).
Was competition fierce for roles in your new film, the Clint Eastwood-directed Flags of Our Fathers?
Everyone wanted it. One of the things important to Clint was that the people he cast should look a lot like the real people -- for instance, Ryan Philippe looks a lot like John Bradley. So I'm looking at it and right off I don't look like most of the guys. So I'm trying to figure out who the hell I can play (laughs).
So how did you distract Clint from that fact?
I read for three different characters, which they say don't do. It's a no-no, 'cos you look like you're too hungry and you're gonna whore out just to do anything. But it's a Clint Eastwood movie, and the novel's great -- who the hell wouldn't want to be in it? So the bigger roles got swallowed up real quick, and I'm calling in favours from everyone, seeing if they would put a phone call in. But Clint Eastwood doesn't listen to anybody, he just disappears. The only person he would listen to is Phyllis Huffman -- she just recently passed away. She was his casting director for 25 years. I finally told her, "Look Phyllis, I don't care what roles are left, I'll take the smallest role in it. What is it gonna take? Am I gonna have to come in and scrub your floors?" She started laughing. Within a week I got a phone call.
Do you spend some auditions just battling preconceptions?
For sure. Everyone deals with that in one way or another, right? I don't have to be handed everything. I've been pretty fortunate and things have come relatively easily. But I don't think you appreciate things as much when they come easy. You know that when you have to go and work for something and earn it, the reward is much greater.
What kind of career are you after?
The guys I like the most are the good guys, so that's what I hope people say about me, just, "Oh, he's a nice guy". That's the most important thing.
You've talked about taking a break from acting. What would you do?
I went to school for marine biology, and my plan was ultimately to specialise in marine mammals as a vet. I still think about doing that. But at the same time I love architecture, and I design homes in my spare time just for fun. I'll see what happens.
Did you have a fanboy moment with Clint when you were making Flags?
I played it super-cool. A lot of guys worked on that movie, and they kicked ass. We were so lucky. There were a couple of guys who had the potential to be meanies, but they would have been so overwhelmed by the good-guy numbers that they would have stood out like major jackasses, so those guys really did their best to contain it. I saw everyone's true colours, I made a lot of friends on that one. Typically, I don't really care too much for actors (laughs) but these guys hadn't been around long enough to be affected.
How does Clint operate?
The best way to gauge somebody is how they treat people in general, right? And their level of consistency with it. It doesn't matter where you are on the totem pole, he treats everybody the same. From the valet to Stephen Spielberg, it doesn't matter, he's gonna talk to you the same way. That's how I knew that guy was cool. He's a great director and he's been around forever, but if he's not a decent person, then to hell with him, I'm sorry. But he's got it all together.
How do you know when you've impressed director Clint?
I just tried to sit back as much as I could, 'cos a lot of people had their noses attached to his butt (laughs). So I felt him coming to me because I wasn't going to him. So I felt maybe there's a little bit of a respect factor there, or he got that I got it, maybe. I had the very first line. And all the guys are like, "Oh dude! You've got the first line. Don't screw up!" You know how guys are. So I'm going, "Shut up, shut up", playing into it. The first line was "God, this place stinks". That's all the line was. And the way it was written, it called for, like, a Robert Duvall delivery in Apocalypse Now: "Charlie don't surf!" Just bellowing it out real loud. But the guy I was playing, Hank Hansen, everything I knew about this guy, he would never do that. He was a pretty humble guy, all the guys liked him. So I said it under my breath. Meanwhile there's enemy fire. And Clint goes, "Paul, did you say your line?" "Yeah I said my line." "How come I didn't hear it?" "Because I said it under my breath." "Why is that?" And I told him what I told you and he's like "OK, good." That was it. We moved on.
You have a bigger monologue later in the film. Did Clint question the way you delivered that?
He came up to me and said, "So, how do you like to do this? Do you wanna rehearse a couple of times and then go for it?" I said, "Nah, I'll just go for it." He gave me a smile/wink combo and we did it and he didn't say anything. I said "How was that one?" He said, "That was good." Then we did it one more time and that was it. If you come in and you know what you wanna do and you stick it, and you don't throw any attitude, if you have a blue-collar approach, he loves ya. But if you come in with this actor pretence crap, he'll smack ya, and I've seen that. He's a blue-collar guy.

This is useful for improving performance with certain sports, back pain, and for withstanding abdominal impacts (e.g., taking punches). According to a 2011 study, abdominal muscle exercises are known to increase the strength and endurance of the abdominal muscles. It has been highly disputed whether or not abdominal exercises have any reducing effect on abdominal fat. The aforementioned 2011 study found that abdominal exercise does not reduce abdominal fat; to achieve that, a deficit in energy expenditure and caloric intake must be createdabdominal exercises alone are not enough to reduce abdominal fat and the girth of the abdomen. Early results from a 2006 study found that walking exercise (not abdominal exercise specifically) reduced the size of subcutaneous abdominal fat cells; cell size predicts type 2 diabetes according to a lead author. Moderate exercise reduced cell size by about 18% in 45 obese women over a 20-week period; diet alone did not appear to affect cell size.

We need to get involved in the business of restoring dignity.
With the storm raging it is surprising to NOT see more comments on social media tonight about the plight of the street folk, sleeping in dark, wet alleys surrounded by gushing wind and onslaughts of sound waves reverberating through their already shivering blankets. Tucked warmly in bed we say a prayer and resolve to find out how we can help - tomorrow - and tuck in to drift off. As we drive through the branch bestrewn shimmering streets, dropping kids off or heading to work, we see the wet, the rain, the cardboard against the fence, and again thank whomever that we and ours are safe, warm and dry.... and spare a thought for the street folk who we hope are tucked into the night shelter, warm and dry too.
The reality? The night shelter shuts at 7am, at which time unless you are quite literally dying, you and what belongs to you, are no longer 'inside'. And so starts your day, leaning into the storm you blend under awnings and cower from the rain, your feet exposed you trudge through the water and find a dry-enough place under a safe-enough cover hoping you'll be there long enough to dry a bit. This is life and you're making the most of it.
We hardly see these members of OUR society. We hardly notice their comings and goings. When we notice it usually has many strings of guilt tied in secure knots to our hearts and we hand out money to ease their suffering, to ease ours. Yet, despite the immense goodwill and kindness in the Helderberg basin, the night shelter is filled to capacity long before even remotely all who need help, have received it. The ones not accommodated in the night shelter, roam the streets for shelter during the night, hungry and exposed. With many street folk being un-IDed, they are denied even a space on the system and thus lose the luxury of a grant to buy even the most basic of necessities.
While very few are brave enough to reach out, some do. One such a street-angel is Vanessa Willis-Schoeman, a single mom and part-time student from Somerset West. When not working or studying, she makes soup or receives and hands out soup donated to her for the street folk; she collects and hands out blankets; she shares dignity.
A few weeks ago, a Facebook post told of an old man lying on a filthy mattress in one of the warehouses off the N2. While everyone typed abhorrent shock and horror, Vanessa drove to the area, searched door-to-door and eventually found Casper. With her help, he has received the necessary medication, has been ID-registered and is now under the protection of the night shelter. Members from Somerset 1 Facebook Page donate towards Caspers' monthly needs, soap, Omo, cigarettes, socks. In this they share dignity - being probably one of the most sought after commodities for a street sleeper.
Vanessa and many others like her serve the street sleepers. At first only 9 regularly came to fetch soup and/or blankets from her boot, a number Vanessa says, has grown to an average of 30 - 32 regulars each night. Donations are handed directly to the street folk and where donations are few, Vanessa gives what she has. However, it would seem that a war is raging over the street people. In media, newspapers, on social media and from pulpits, the community is encouraged to stop giving, in an effort to drive street folk from their shelters in the Somerset West area. Where do they go to? Strand? Gordon's Bay? The Karoo?
As a community we can no longer sit passively and pray for the street people to be safe from the storms. As a community we need to stand up and take charge of OUR community. We need to insist that our religious institutions and community organisations organise initiatives to collect blankets and clothes, and donate these to people like Vanessa. We need to pop in at the veg sellers and buy the ingredients or better yet, make the soup and call Vanessa to collect and distribute. We need to get out of our busy lives and 'do' for the sake of our community and all those living in it.
We need to get involved in the business of restoring dignity.

Bad luck, awefull night!
Well, it isn;t a that good morning here. Oh my, the good fortune Gods have left us at the moment.
Yesterday jan got really sick. I think he suffered from it already the evening before, but "tough guy as he is(better call it stubborn) he didn;t say too much.
But yesterday he really had it going on him. His belly had swollen(which is not good at itself, but also he has to be careful about his belly button and the umbilical hernia). But on top of it i think his stomach played triks with him, During the day and specially evening it became worse, he had no appetite at all, and then he started to throw up, poor fellow. I saw it on his face he was in pain, and then you feel so helpless, sitting on his side!
I already was ready in the earlier evening, to call my friend Heidi, to ask if sheor her husband could come over with the car to bring Jan to hospital. Perhaps not yet directly necessary, but with Jan's health problems, you know, I would feel better. But he wouldn;t hear a word about that. As I should know already.
Okay, you can imagine that Jan had a bad night and I had the same. Almost didnt sleep, I woke up all the time, after I finally went to sleep( think I was up till about 2.00 p.m.). but that wasn't much.
Jan aso felt extra bad, because today he had his first day of work as volunteer, but no way he could go there.
So I called them early morning to explain the situation, with a lot of excuses, but the lady was really nice and understood it.
Now I will keep an eye on Jan toay to see if it is getting any better with him. If not, I somehow should persuade him to call his specialist doctor or go right away to hospital to let them have a look. I don;t think this will happen well, let's hope it will not be necessary and that he will feel slightly better during the day and the weekend.
It really is a disappointment too for Jan, he looked forward to go to this job.
Okay, he just woke up and it seemshe is feeling slightly better. No way he his jumping around at the moment, LOL, but he told me his belly is feeling better a bit, yesterday it was a itght blown balloon, today he can push it in again. That already is good news. Now hoping that it will go better during the day. I think he should try to take as much sleep as possible, and then hope for the best during the weekend.
So, I am a bit reliefed, not reassured yet!
Good, that's the news I had for you today. Wished it was of another nature, but thinks like this can happen. I think I will take a good nap in the afternoon, that will keep me on my feet.
After I finish this post, I will see if Jan gets back to bed, then I quickly will go out for a few groceries.
As you can imagine, we didn;t do anything about the sowing yet LOL. It was planned to start yesterday, but something came in between.
Well, it still can wait a bit, next week will be a good time too.
The one thing I accomplished yesterday(but that was still in the morning)is a new bloglayout. Better something done than nothing at all I think.
But I have a new freebie for you, this time one of Florence, a set of "springy"clusters to get you a bit in the mood for the spring season, although in many parts of the world winter is still showing itself.
I wish you a wonderful weekend, hoping to have much better news on Monday.

I'm so sorry to hear that Jan is not feeling so good. I hope that after a good rest today, he will be feeling much better. You take care too. A nap would be wonderful today for you too.
The Fed Ex truck just pulled up and left a big box on the front porch. I went out to get it, but it so heavy. I managed to get it inside the house, but I'll let Joe bring it out to my end of the house later when he gets home.
Today I will pick out the project to pack in the small suitcase. Such a big decision. haha.
One of the dwarfs is going to be moving out so I'll have to sit down with him today to see what his plans are. It's always something.
Well, it's time for me to get busy around here. You have a super day my friend. Hugs, Edna B.

I sure hope Jan gets his tummy under control.
I just mixed up a pitcher of water to boost metabolism. Apple slices from one apple, 1 cinnamon stick, in a 2 quart pitcher. Cover with ice to about 1/2 way in the pitcher. Then finish with cold water and let it set for awhile. I made mine about 1 hour ago and I can taste a little bit of apple so it must take maybe over night to make it really good.
Thank Florence for the clusters for us.

thank you for the pretty clusters and I hope Jan is feeling better soon!
- February 28, 2015 at 3:32 AM
Hello and Thank you Kyra and Florence for these lovely clusters.
It is a worry about Jan's stomach. Hopefully he will continue to feel much better. If not it would be wise to get it checked out as soon as possible.
Your new background is very pretty too.
I hope you both manage to get some rest and try to have a good weekend...

1. My old dishwasher has started to leak. Should I just buy a new one?
Not necessarily. If the dishwasher is still working well and has been looked after and kept clean it may just mean replacing a pipe and it is fixed. Of course if you want to update your old appliance you can.
2. How long can I expect my appliance to last?
Lifetimes of appliances can vary depending on amount of use but here is a quick guide.
- Dishwasher averages 10 to 12 years
- Refrigerator 10 to 14 years
- Microwave 10 to 15 years
- Washer 10 to 12 years
- Dryers 15 years and more
- Electric range 16 years
Your particular appliance may last a bit longer or not quite as long. The factors like amount of use and care taken with appliance can influence its life time.
3. Why should I call ASH Appliance?
Our qualified tradesmen stand behind their appliance repairs and aim to provide with an excellent service.
4. Do you give quotes over the phone?
No quotes are given over the phone as we can't determine the exact problem. What sounds like one problem may in fact be something all together different.
5. Do you use genuine parts for repairs?
We only use genuine replacement parts in all of our appliance repairs at ASH Appliance. We want your appliance to work just as the manufacturer requires.
6. Can I drop my appliance into you to repair?
If you are driving past, there is parking out the front so you can drop in your microwave on the way to work. All other appliances we tend to work at in your home as they are too large and cumbersome to transport.
7. Should I attempt to repair my appliance myself?
Under no circumstances should an unqualified person work on electrical appliances. You could damage the appliance more, blow fuses or kill yourself. Electricity is very dangerous.
8. Do you repair gas appliances?
Yes. We can repair your gas and electric ovens and cook tops and stoves.

Civacon, part of OPW, is proud to announce that Heil Trailer International, Cleveland, TN, unveiled a new truck and trailer at the recent Western Petroleum Marketers Association's (WPMA) National Convention & Convenience Store Expo in Las Vegas, NV, that featured Civacon's COPS (Cross-Over Prevention System).
The latest technology in cross-over prevention, Civacon's COPS has been designed to remove human error from the retail-site delivery process and prevent an operator from dropping the incorrect fuel-type into an underground storage tank – a costly and embarrassing mistake for the fuel-delivery company and fuel station. COPS utilizes RFID (radio-frequency identification) technology that communicates to an on-board fluid property sensor to match the fuel type with the proper underground storage tank. Until the system receives a match, the API located on the truck tank and/or pull trailer will lock out the operator and remain locked until it receives a positive reading that the delivery elbow is connected to the proper drop tube. COPS technology removes the possibility of accidental or intentional cross-dumps, and does so with no modification at the rack and minimal additions to the retail site's storage tank.
"WPMA was the perfect venue for Heil to feature the COPS technology on its truck and trailer unit," said Chris Gooding, Director of Sales and Operations for Civacon. "At WPMA, sales representatives could really take the time to explain how easy it is to outfit a truck tank or trailer with COPS. This technology truly prevents the possibility of accidentally mixing gas with diesel, which benefits the fuel-delivery company and the fueling station in several ways."
The Heil truck and trailer on display at WPMA featured a 5,400-gallon standard-duty truck tank with a 7,400-gallon standard-duty petroleum pull trailer. The unit was built to customer specifications and both, the truck tank and pull trailer, were outfitted with the new Civacon COPS equipment.

Huge props to Mark and team for the fantastic work on my 94 Chevy 1500 truck. It hasn't looked that good since it's been painted. They really do take their time to ensure the work is done right while also pointing things out for me to be aware of. They'll definitely be the one I continue to go to for my auto detailing needs.
Just got my BMW 5 series detailed and paint corrected by Mark. The difference is night and day in the way he was able to make my car look. My jet black colored car looks like a shiny piano black finish. Swirls are virtually gone. Excellent and professional workmanship! Highly recommended!
Highly recommended Great staff Great service Great quality tint Look forward on doing my clear ceramic windshield for extra UV protection. Huge thanks to my peeps at NFSG for recommending me to them

"This Is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous"
Testing Love
Amos Lassen
.In 2008, Gregory Lazzarato, a young, nationally ranked Canadian diver, walked away from diving and began a YouTube channel focused on makeup tutorials. He would never allow himself to be intimidated by bullies either online or in school. Lazzarato became the fierce, outspoken Gregory Gorgeous, amassing a loyal following who found strength and inspiration from his public coming out as a gay male.
Despite this success, there was a secret that was revealed in a December 2013 video titled "I Am Transgender." Motivated by the death of her mother, the YouTube star took on the new name Gigi Gorgeous. Gigi had the support of her father and brothers and now gives us a candid look at her transition. Two-time Academy Award–winning director Barbara Kopple ("Harlan County U.S.A"., 1976; "American Dream", 1990) shines a spotlight on her subject's uplifting, empowering message of self-acceptance and Gigi becomes a self-assured, happy and, gorgeous young woman.
Gender transition processes are of interest to those going through them. However we have seen this portrayed in so many nonfiction and narrative forms that we now question if this is as compelling to everyone else.
Documentarian Barbara Kopple thinks it is and profiles Gigi Gorgeous who began attracting a following and is a celebrity and an LGBTQ role model with the very simple message of "Be Yourself". This glossy documentary fails to show conflict or depth in a personality who should be very interesting.
Transgender rights are a major social-justice issue today but Gigi Gorgeous is not a particularly articulate spokesperson, nor does she seem to have experienced any real problems aside from trolls on the Internet. She's a transgender celebrity and a self-made princess primarily interested in being glamorous, and with the means to get there first-class. It's easy to see why people in more challenging circumstances might see that image as encouraging, something to aspire to — but such individuals would be much more interesting than Gigi.
Greg Lazzarato was born in 1994 in Toronto, a middle child and an extrovert at an early age. His mother died of leukemia in 2012. Gregg was a competitive high-diver and might have made it to the Olympics if he hadn't walked away from it. Identity issues were already taking precedence and he expressed there in makeup tutorials that he began posting on YouTube at age 14. Naturally he got his share of homophobic insults but these videos won a fast-growing following and it did not take long before "Gregory Gorgeous" attracted a manager and was making money from product endorsements. He came-out online as gay (but not seen in this film), and later as transgender and others saw him as an inspiration for some fans.
The gender transition began after an announcement in late 2013, with various surgical and other procedures following. Her father David was supportive. We see Gigi doing some modeling, but mostly she is just a professional celebrity and loves buying lingerie and really aspires to be a mainstream commodity.
Much of "This Is Everything" consists of YouTube, home-movie, broadcast, and other preexisting footage and the original footage doesn't go any deeper into Gigi's personality so I can only think that there is really nothing newsworthy there. However, there is on scene shown under the closing credits when Gigi was detained at the airport and refused entry to Dubai last August because the United Arab Emirates classifies transgender persons as an illegal "imitation" of gender. We do see Gigi Gorgeous as a human-rights spokeswoman. She is the champion only of herself.

This post came from the folks at Vanderbilt, who are still battling to hang onto their radio station. To date, they have been most successful at publicizing their plight, rallying the troops, and holding off, so far, the dark forces seeking to cash in on college radio.
The WRVU article in the recent issue of The Rambler seems to shed some additional light on some motivations for the VSC proposed on-air license sale of WRVU. Based on Media Advisor, Chris Carroll's comments in the article he sees the future of all media groups being folded into an online umbrella outlet that is InsideVandy.
The self-styled media mavens that are the VSC (they have to justify eating up the VSC budget somehow) seem intent to shoe-horn a newly online-only (i.e. moribund) WRVU along with VTV and the print-based media into a generic centralized InsideVandy box.
Of course, WRVU is far too big and dynamic of an enterprise to fit into a snooze-fest online content aggregator. In order for WRVU to fit into the future consolidated sausage maker, WRVU has to be gutted so its lifeless body will slot in nicely.
This consolidation will certainly further remove Vanderbilt student involvement from the individual media enterprises and downgrade student roles to 'content providers' to the InsideVandy VSC central portal. The first victims will be the individual spirit, history, associated responsibilities/experiences, and personality of each student media group. Now, don't get us wrong, if some of the member groups find it worthwhile to have joint resources or outlets, so be it, but let it be a student decision and not a VSC Board 'adult' staff mandate.
What is important here is that all media members need to consider whether it is worth being a part of the VSC and a part of this apparent consolidation. There are quite a few indicators that the VSC is actively embedding its tentacles into the media groups: 1) Chris Carroll's comments, 2) The recent build-up of paid professional 'adult' staff, 3) Recent unnecessary VSC meddling in student media affairs, 4) VSC removing budgeting away from students into a consolidated VSC managed budget 5) removing administrative duties away from students organizations 6) the relentless double-speak, stone-walling, and question evasion in regard to the WRVU license sale, etc.
Each VSC media member needs to consider its own future, because VSC intends to make it for them. Based on what is going on currently with WRVU, there are few lengths the VSC won't go for compliance. I suspect the VSC is in various stages of breaking the backs of each media group to make them compliant, with WRVU being their white whale.
We suspect, in the near future, each media group will need to insist to the University and to AcFee that the VSC is not serving their interests and to assert their own autonomy away from the VSC. That near future might be now.
…or put another way…
This cause that is SaveWRVU could very well be expanded to simply putting all student media back in the hands of the students and out of the crushing hands of 'adult' VSC staff.
Read The Rambler Tennessee to see what your take away is…

Girls Can't Be in the Mafia
Morbidly funny and inspiring, Danielle West's memoir is heart-breakingly honest about her years of angst and escape.
Getting away from her dysfunctional family was Danielle's one mission as a child in America. After a stint of homelessness, she becomes a dominatrix and a go-go dancer, a soap-maker and a professional MMA fighter in London, a digital marketer and a novelist—all before stepping foot in Singapore, where she has made her home.

Vision & Mission

Our Philosophy at ST JOHN FISHER COLLEGE

The St John Fisher community is inspired by God's spirit and the Catholic faith tradition to live, to love and to learn with respect for truth, the courage to seek justice, the gift of peace and the grace to forgive as we respond with equal dynamism to society's challenges today and tomorrow. We are a Brisbane Catholic girls' college for Years 7-12 providing a contemporary and holistic Mercy education in the spirit of Catherine McAuley, that prepares young women for the world that awaits them.

To love and to learn

The holistic approach to education at St John Fisher College means that your daughter's spiritual, social, emotional and physical growth are promoted as well as her academic learning. Because our Pastoral Care program is integrated throughout the school system, the Gospel values of love, justice, peace and forgiveness are taught by example and experience. Sharing the support of a Pastoral Care teacher with a small group of other students offers your daughter an intimate, nurturing atmosphere.

To live as Christian People of Faith

The formal teaching of Religious Education in our curriculum is underpinned by the daily lived experience of Gospel values in our community. The values of love, justice, peace and forgiveness are taught by example and experience. The college chapel provides a place for regular liturgies and for private prayer and reflection. Priests from the surrounding community support the college in the regular provision of Eucharist.

Sofia's Big Pitch for Pop-Up Art Van
Sofia's Big Pitch for Pop-Up Art Van

Year 10 St John Fisher College student, Sofia Velkos, has more on her mind than holidays as she prepares for a big pitch to the Lord Mayor's Council on 4th December. Early this year, Sofia was one of 80 Brisbane Year 10 students selected to sit on the Lord Mayor's Youth Advisory Council (LMYAC).

Students meet with the Lord Mayor once a term, to act as a voice for Brisbane's youth, identifying issues, providing feedback and their opinion on Brisbane City Council policies, local laws, services and programs that affect young people.

Sofia and a team of 10 LMYAC students, including Oliver Horwood of St Joseph's Nudgee College and Thomas Darben from St Patrick's College, have come up with the idea of increasing Brisbane's creativity and vibrancy through the utilisation of a mobile 'Pop-Up' van.

Sofia says the plan is for the van to travel to identified areas within Queensland, enabling children and young teens to participate in drawing, painting and other forms of art, using supplies they may not have previously had access to.

"Our aim is to increase the sense of community and inclusivity within Brisbane through art", explains Sofia.

St Joseph's Nudgee College student, Oliver Horwood said the idea came from a project the Council currently fund called, Visible Ink in Fortitude Valley which is a free art space with art supplies and resources.

"We've been there for meetings and seen people using it, but we felt like more people would use it if they knew about it. And so, came the idea of setting up the mobile art space we proposed to Council," said Oliver.

Sofia and one other student will pitch the mobile pop-up van idea, on behalf of 80 students on 4th December and is excited at the prospect of the idea coming to fruition.

"It feels amazing to know that extremely important people like the Honourable Lord Mayor Graham Quirk are asking the youth and future generation of Brisbane for their opinion on current issues that are prevalent within society," says Sofia.

Sofia says discussions have been raised surrounding the vibrancy and creativity of the city, as well as its environmental friendliness. Methods of improving transport, technology, business, the economy, and lastly health, within the Brisbane region have also been major touch points.

 "It's honestly so rewarding to be a part of the LMYAC group as we provide a voice for the issues and problems that we as individuals and as society, are currently facing. Knowing that these issues can be fixed and changed for the better through the help and assistance of the Brisbane City Council is a real thrill," Sofia says.

Why choose a girls' school?
http://www.stjohnfishercollege.qld.edu.au/Enrolments/Pages/Why-choose-a-girls-school.aspx, Why choose a girls' school?
Why choose a girls' school?
"Single gender classes provide a learning environment where the female voice is not marginalised. The personal attributes of the teachers, most notably their encouragement, care and availability, motivate these female students from single gender schools to excel" (Tully & Jacobs, 2010, www.agsa.org.au).

 There are many favourable reasons to choose a single-sex school, particularly during early adolescent years as girls grow into young women and start laying the foundations for their entry into the wider world. Developing strong core values that lead to a sense of pride in one's identity, is something that is integral to the mission of St John Fisher College. As the research suggests, amongst other benefits, single sex education leads to "improved self-esteem" and "psychological and social wellbeing in adolescent girls"(Cribb & Hasse, 2016 cited in www.agsa.org.au/why-a-girls-school-the-research/ ).

08:30 - 09:00 Registration / Networking
09:00-10:00 G7-ECB Cyber Briefing
10:00-10:30 RegTech Case Study - Q&A
Cyber related threats are not a new concept to the financial sector but the threat landscape has changed radically in recent years and months. What was adequate before is simply not good enough now.
The reality of cyber threats is, their guise is in many forms. These include APT's (Advanced Persistent Threats) in basic terms are strategic, stealthy, remotely controlled reconnaissance type vectors sponsored by actors who objective may be as much geopolitical as financial.
Destructive attacks in the guise of "Ransomware" appearing to be pedestrian cybercrime but designed to ultimately destroy the availability and integrity of data. One of the biggest game changers is the threat actor landscape itself, the motivation, origin and objective of these attacks is aligned with the eclectic mix of malefactors. These are powerful forces which involve state sponsored attacks with geopolitical motivation, criminal syndicates offering "crime as a service" to lower end criminal entities and all this makes for significant challenge for FMI's (Financial Market Infrastructure) across Europe and throughout the Globe to deal with.
"Cybercrime is a serious threat not only to individual market actors but also to the overall operational network." ECB European Central Bank
We have are almost desensitised to the media reports of high profile destructive and global cyber attacks and heists. Of course these reports only represent a fraction of the attacks and breaches that occur on a daily basis.
Due to the nature of these attacks, the "reality check" is that traditional security controls are now increasingly inadequate.
Why is conventional cyber security becoming inadequate?
Traditional "Prevention" techniques such as black listing/white listing is not good enough anymore. Verification is an imperative. Prevention is only one part of the solution. Breaches are inevitable and having an adequate capability to be able to detect, respond and recover are now baseline requirements.
Your Network Perimeter is Dissolving. Your customers, staff, business partners and vendors need access to everything, anytime from anywhere on any device. The cloud, mobile, remote access, multiple jurisdictions are the reality of the foundation of the extended enterprise.
Cyber Skills are Scarce! There are over 40,000 open IT security related positions in Ireland alone. Over 2,500 open Global CISO roles in the US and a recent survey reported the average salary for a UK CISO (FinSec) is £1m. There are simply not enough "real deal" experienced and qualified people to meet the demand. It is not simply a case of outsourcing as professional service firms face the same challenges of finding "Cyber Skilled" resources.
Your business ecosystem and vendor dependency is one of the biggest cyber challenges facing your organisation. Security is only as strong as the weakest link and with the increased sanctions in legislation such as the GDPR, not alone will we see litigation between business partners but all organisations in the supply chain are open to being sued post breach by those affected for pecuniary or non-pecuniary damages (i.e. distress). The "Blame for Claim" rush is on its way. Establishing trust and gaining assurance is a key challenge in the financial service ecosystem.
A final point to note is in relation to IoT, the "Internet of Things". Security is very low on the agenda of manufacturers. These devices are being increasingly networked and this has introduced unprecedented security hazards. Recent massive global large scale DDoS attacks have been based on cybercriminals being able to create compromised networks of hundreds and thousands of these devices around the world and use them to essentially attack a target. One of the highest profile attacks was during the US elections and involved a massive Internet outage across the US.
There is an alphabet soup of laws, legislation, regulations, guidance, frameworks, standards and authorities. Over 400 of them comprising of over 10,000 overlapping and often conflicting controls, originating from 175 legal jurisdictions. It is a challenge even to know where to begin.
European related legislation is key, the NIS (Network Information Systems) Directive, the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) are part of your "must do" list.
This is not instead of but to compliment and support initiatives such as PSD2 and SIP. The IOSCO (International Organization of Securities Commissions) – CPMI (Committee on Payments and Market Infrastructure) has released some excellent guidance in relation to cyber resilience.
However, let me point you to what I feel is one of the best guidance documents available. The G7 cyber expert group have published the "Fundamental Elements of Cyber Security for the Financial Sector" and this advice is being echoed by the Eurosystem, ECB and local regulators across Europe.
The elements underline that cyber risk must be met by a collective and united effort by the financial industry and the public authorities, both within and across borders.
This means cyber resilience of the financial ecosystem is a joint effort of institutions, infrastructures and regulators. Of course this means banking supervisors and financial market infrastructure overseers will be naturally increase focus on ensuring cyber resilience. The bottom line, first responsibility is and stays with the financial institutions.
Members of the financial sector are invited to our G7-ECB Cyber Briefings. We will outline the guidance and explain how to leverage RegTech solutions in order to meet the challenge.
This event will be presented by: Paul C Dwyer - Cyber Risk Expert - www.paulcdwyer.com

AKB48 Concert [Takamina ni Tsuite Ikimasu]
AKB48 Concert [Takamina ni Tsuite Ikimasu]
[We'll follow Takamina]
AKB48 with SKE48, SDN48, NMB48
Location: Yokohama Arena
25 March 2011 (Friday)
1st Concert - 18:00 Start
26 March 2011 (Saturday)
2nd Concert - 13:00 Start
3rd Concert - 18:00 Start
27 March 2011 (Sunday)
4th Concert - 13:00 Start
5th Concert - 18:00 Start
Tickets are priced at 6,800yen.
AKB48, along with their sister groups SKE48, SDN48 and NMB48, will be descending upon Yokohama Arena again this year for 3 days, from 25 to 27 March 2011. This is the 2nd time they have performed at the venue, the first being [AKB48 Manseki Matsuri Kibou Sanpi Ryouron] which took place last year on 24 to 25 March. For this year, the groups will be performing 5 times over a span of 3 days, the biggest they have ever done so far.
The title of this concert series is [Takamina ni Tsuite Ikimasu], meaning "We'll follow Takamina". In case there are any misunderstandings, "Tsuite iku" means "to loyally follow a leader", and Takahashi Minami is the unofficial leader of AKB48. One interesting fact is that Watanabe Mayu's birthday falls on 26 March, the 2nd day of the concert. So in addition to honoring Takamina, Mayuyu will probably get a birthday surprise like Acchan at last year's [Surprise wa Arimasen] at Yokohama Arena..... without the following accident that happened of course.

The best part about Acchan's birthday was the cake dropping right in her face and tomochin not being apologetic about it

Residents of North Central Washington interested in fish and wildlife issues can talk with local Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) staff at a public meeting Tuesday, Sept. 19 in Pateros.
The meeting is scheduled from 6 – 8 p.m., at the Howard*s on the River Central Building, 233 Lakeshore Drive.
WDFW Northcentral Region Director Jim Brown said the last few years of wildfires, drought, and low fish returns have affected fish and wildlife populations and the local fishing and hunting economy.
These trends have challenged area residents and WDFW resource managers alike, he said.
"This is an informal opportunity to talk with our fish and wildlife biologists and enforcement officers about these issues, whether they relate to post-wildfire habitat recovery, this summer's new wild chinook salmon fishery, or other concerns area residents might have," Brown said.
Brown said WDFW staff will provide updates on some issues, but that most of the meeting will be dedicated to questions, comments and discussion with attendees.
WDFW's Northcentral Region includes Adams, Chelan, Douglas, Grant, and Okanogan counties.

All it takes is a can of Crisco (or another brand of vegetable shortening),
an eye dropper and a cup of water.
Each child applies some of the shortening to their forearm.
Once the Crisco is applied, place a few drops of water on top.
The water beads up nicely on top of the Crisco shortening.
This represents the insolubility of oil and water.
I love this shot of my Kinders observing their arms up close.
They remind me of little seal pups all in a row!
One of my Kinders wondered during the discussion if our own Florida manatee has blubber. They actually don't. But I was amazed at her critical thinking on the subject as it relates to our beloved sea cow (who looks a little like a walrus if you think about it).
A great expansion activity on "Blubber" is this experiment I found on the Gulf of Maine Aquarium's site. "Blubber Gloves" is super easy and way cooool, too!

Scythian mythology and Yazdanism
Yazdanism is a conventional name for the pre-Islamic religion of the Kurds, before it developed into three branches of Ezidism, Yarsanism and Alevism, now practiced by small communities in central, southern and northern Kurdistan, respectively. A peculiarity of these religions which they share together and basically originates from Yazdanism is belief in a heptad of divine beings. In Ezidism for instance, the world is in the care of a Heptad of seven Holy Beings, often known as Angels or heft sirr (the Seven Mysteries). Preeminent among these is Tawûse Melek or Melek Tawus, literally meaning ''The peacock angel''.
In Scythian mythology, which is sporadically known through Greek sources, a heptad of seven deities are worshiped, greatest of all being ''Tabithi'' or ''Tabiti'' who was ''queen of animals'' and ''godess of fire''.
Besides the resemblance of the name which fully corresponds with Kurdish historical phonology (b> w, θ>s, hence: Tabithi > Tawus), both divinities have smiliar characters: being the greatest of the heptad and queen of animals (peacock has been often described as such).
One more amazing similarity is that in the Scythian mythology, the heptad divinities each represent a planet, as in Ezidism in which each divinity has been created in a week-day, (week-day names basically represent planets).
Another Scythian goddess, "Api", depicted as having snakes instead of legs (image), precisely corresponds with the famous Kurdish mythological character, "Shameran".

Hello hawre,
i am very glad to read about yezideh, as that religion is close to my heart - in general i am not too much religious, i dont follow any religion, to be honest, but yezideh is closer to me than others - i have a pic of Tawuse Melek in my room and i light up the candle on Wednesday - i dont know why - i just feel i need that. on my polish website blog i am going to write about religion as well and i am going to write more details about yezideh, coz i noticed some people think that yezideh prey to devil, thats not correct.
anyway i am waiting for more readings on your blog.
my best wishes.

Blessed is Xwedayê Mezin's Light - that despite 'the slings and arrows' of such outragous fortune the history of Kurdîstan and the 'Kurda' is on the rise again. Let us bring Peace to Mother Earth O Yêzdanên Mezin. And as the tyranny of our oppressors draws to an end - let us once more bring Justice and chivairous order to this - the land of the first seed.
