Due to a couple of recent experiences I thought I might compile a list Of dangerous things you can do in japan.
1. Get a cab with a baby
No need for baby seat, and I suspect seatbelts are optional too?
Strap the kid into the seat and go for it!
2. Being in Japan
Rumi's mum feels 3 or 4 earthquakes month. Being on the 13th floor things can move around a bit. I've been here during 2 earthquakes, but oblivious to them both. 1st was the last trip 2 years back. It happened in the middle of the nihht and woke everyone up, except me
There was another last week that shook the apartment violently for 1 minute. However we were busy at the shops which are at ground level and didn't even notice. With a month to go im sure I'll get to experience one.
3. Go quad biking, horse riding and several other slighly dangerous activities and make it properly dangerous with no helmet! Whilst the quad bikes were speed limited, they went fast enough to be hairy.
4. Ride a bike. Everyone rides bikes but I've only seen two kids with helmets. Whilst people don't fly around, the sidewalks can get crowded so there is still lots of chances to have a good stack and crack your skull
5. Visit Japanese only restaurant and let waitress choose your destiny. Never thought I'd eat raw chicken or raw heart in this lifetime. But then again, it wasn't that dangerous. It's normal here, but it feels dangerous!!
6. Buy fireworks from the supermarket or 7/11
Dangerous can b fun too!
7. Cross road at pedestrian crossing without looking. Cars don't slow down or stop, they are really just recommended places tocross when there are no cars coming.
8. Hit the bum wash button on the dunny without checking what water pressure the last person left it set at.

I think this is the first time I've ever really wanted a year to end. Though compared to everything else that's going on in the world, things in my life are pretty inconsequential. Nonetheless, I've had my ups and downs this year, more downs than I'm used to. Sadly, I think it's just part of residency. This has been confirmed by many, many friends and acquaintances going through the same process. Though everything is fine and great now, this year has definitely been a tough one to get through with a lot of little hurtles to overcome. I'm just grateful to not be an intern anymore! My mom has dutifully pointed out that I may have a bald spot from all the hair I lost secondary to stress last year. Such a rewarding reminder of intern year. It'll grow back, right?
Two thousand thirteen is going to be a big year, whether I want it to be or not. Last leg (1.5 years to be exact) of residency! By the fall of 2013, I will hopefully have a job, a real life, paying job with semi-normal people hours waiting for me when I graduate. Scary!
Though I don't have resolutions, I do have some goals for the upcoming year: make more time for friends, master the control of my sleep cycle (somehow…), be more social (apparently being tired from work is a lame excuse not to go out according to some people), eat more vegetables, and be more empathetic to my patients (even if they just want some dilaudid). I think these are reasonable!
As for tonight, though I will drag myself from the warmth of my apartment to be semi-social, I think I ultimately will have some alone time with my new-found friend, Sudafed. I have this terrible cold that keeps me nice and congested, waking me up several times a night to say hi. Work is even more brutal when you can't breathe!
Again, happy new year! Please have a safe and wonderful night! Don't drink and drive! And the best wishes for the year to come!

Students in their sophomore, junior and senior years have the opportunity to earn college credit while attending high school – and here's the best part: its FREE! With the increasing cost of college tuition and books, college-bound students are wise to visit the counselor about the various options there are for earning college credit now….and saving money later!
In order to be eligible, a student must take and pass the Accuplacer test (computerized test of English, sentence skills, and math) and meet a certain GPA requirement:
- Sophomores must have a 3.5 cumulative GPA
- Juniors must have a 3.2 cumulative GPA
- Seniors must have a 2.8 cumulative GPA
Sophomores are limited to one college course per semester.
Accuplacer Practice Sites:
There are three ways to earn college credit:
1. College in the High School: There are several college courses offered at the high school that are taught by our own Sebeka staff. Students who enroll in these classes will earn credit through M State – Fergus Falls or Central Lakes College.
- College English – taught by Ms. Polman – full year = 6 college credits
- College Biology – taught by Mrs. Salo – full year = 8 college credits
- College Psychology – taught by Mr. Doyle – semester = 3 college credits
- College Political Science – taught by Mr. Doyle – semester = 3 college credits
- College Economics – taught by Mr. Heino – semester = 3 college credits
- College Algebra – taught by Mr. Geiser – full year = 3 college credits
- Introduction to College Algebra – taught by Mr. Geiser – semester = 4 college credits
- College Accounting – taught by Mr. Heino – full year = 3 college credits
If students take advantage of all the college-level courses offered at Sebeka they can graduate with 34 credits…that's more than a year's worth of credits at college!
2. Online College in the High School: Interested in something other than what's offered at the high school? Try out one of the many courses offered online! College credit is earned through two colleges: M State or Central Lakes College. Students taking online courses must be motivated, able to work independently, responsible.
- For more information about online courses offered by M State: http://www.minnesota.edu/echs/
- For more information about online courses offered by CLC: http://www.clcmn.edu/pseo-ecollege/
3. PSEO (Post-Secondary Enrollment Options): PSEO allows students to enroll in and attend college while in high school. Students are responsible for their own transportation to and from their school of choice and will take classes with college students, taught by college professors. There are options to attend either full-time or part-time. Regardless of which option is chosen, all students are responsible for making sure they complete all courses required for graduation.
Full-time: choose a program of study and have a full class schedule at the college. No courses are taken at the high school.
Part-time: attend high school for partial days and college classes for partial days. Some students choose to take only their required courses at the high school and enroll in other courses at the college for the remainder of the day.
Any students interested in earning college credit should visit with Mrs. Kern.

The #1 Thing That Keeps The Poor From Ever Becoming Rich
There's a peculiar thing that people do that separates them from ever becoming rich. This is such a common trait to have that most don't even recognize it's destruction. It comes as naturally as watching TV after work to them. It comes as naturally as looking forward to clocking out when the clock hits 5′o'clock as surely everyone else does right? This 1 thing will prevent them from ever changing their financial situation. This blog is going to expose this 1 thing.
How you view the rich will dictate if you are ever to become one of them
Poor mindsets cannot fathom that simple hard work could make someone rich
Here are some sample statements that poor mindsets state that will keep them where they are:
"He/she's just lucky"
"Oh sure, anyone could do that if they had his/her upbringing"
"Yeah, wonder what he/she did to get there though"
"I just think there's more to life than just money"
The same people that make these statements would plop $49.97 down for a "How to get rich quick" book. As long as you see negativity in those that are doing well, you will never do well financially. As long as you separate yourself from them, you will continue to create that gap. ****For more on this topic, read Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged (also happens to be my favorite book)
The poor mindset can never believe that someone ACTUALLY deserves to be rich. That is incomprehensible to them. Now, subconsciously, this causes irreparable damage. Think about it, if someone despises the rich, will that ever compel them to become rich? For every excuse the poor mindset can generate, there has been a person worse off that has done better. There has been a person that has done more with less. But, the poor mindset again, simply cannot fathom that hard work can make someone rich. That is why the poor stay poor.
How Should You Think About the Rich or fortunate?
Understand that SOME people have worked very hard and deserve to be rich, however, it is a waste of energy and effort to spend time determining if they deserve it or not. If someone has something you desire and currently do not have, have gratitude for them, be thankful that someone is doing good. This is a great strategy if you currently don't have a lot of things to be grateful for.
Study them
Find out what they did to become rich…and do it. In every success you will find they had lots of failures in their past, they just kept going. You won't find an extraordinary amount of excessive talent but you will find a certain attitude. The attitude that they are going to succeed no matter what. The knowledge that poor mindsets around them will tell them they can't do it, but they do it anyway. My good friend Robert sent me this video below that I really, really like. I hope you enjoy it as well.
"Successful people form the habit of doing what failures don't like to do. They like the results they get by doing what they don't necessarily enjoy. "
– Earl Nightingale

- ALL - Police Des Moeurs -
Artist : Police Des Moeurs
Label : F.K.K. Musik
n'en parlons plus / un monde sans évasion possible / 7"
Police Des Moeurs is a synth-pop band formed in 2010 in Montreal by Francis. Other members are Anouk (vocals) and Fred (analog synth geek). They play cold, melodic and nostalgic music for broken hearts and dark minds. Police Des Moeurs is the soundtrack for the nuclear night, a transition moment toward a post technological and post ecological world. The world after the future. Limited to 200 hand-numbered copies. Nice, as usual on this Kernkrach sublabel ;)
Artist : Police Des Moeurs
Label : Visage Musique
untitled / 7"
Police Des Moeurs may be Alphaville's greatest export since Lemmy Caution and Anna Karina. The duo intuitively know when to let sequencers speak for themselves, when to chime in, and when to command their drum machines to play another remorseless fill. Best experienced while observing brutalist architecture, a worn existential paperback in your pocket. Limited edition of 200 on white vinyl ;)
Artist : Police Des Moeurs
Label : Mannequin
untitled / LP
Police Des Moeurs is a minimal synth-pop band formed in Montreal in 2010 and they give the francophone perspective on what Black Marble, Lust For Youth and Cold Showers did in English in 2012, as well as fitting in with the output of Lescop. Their debut full-length, after some quicky old out singles, is permeated by a cold, melodic and nostalgic music for broken hearts and dark minds. Police Des Moeurs is the soundtrack for the nuclear night, a transition moment between the end of utopia and the final ecological disaster. The world after the future. Police Des Moeurs main influences and interests are underground aestheticisms (1979-1981), industrial transformations and the process of electrification, norms and deviance, nuclear and environmental anxiety as well as paranoia, secret agents, spies and political extremists. Limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl !
Artist : Police Des Moeurs
Label : Mannequin
ceux qui restent / 2x12"
Montréal synth-punk quartet Police Des Moeurs returns on Mannequin Records with a brand new full length entitled 'Ceux Qui Restent', the most dynamic and incendiary record of the group's career, following the highly-acclaimed self-titled release from 2013. While the 1st effort was mostly about how we're all separate from each others, the 2nd one is all about to getting over it and trying to fight it. As vocalist and synth player Francis Dugas explains: 'most of the new LP is about links, love and caring (in PDM style, obviously). The title is 'Ceux qui restent', which means 'Those Who Stay' or something like that. Ceux qui vivent la tempête jusqu'au bout.' Still raw, but more direct and minimal than the 1st LP, 2 tracks feature Pete from Dekoder on bass guitar. Double LP edition (limited to 250 copies) with the add of the 'Punk Tape' LP, previously released on cassette by Runstate. The 2nd LP contains covers of Chron Gen, Reagan Youth, The Headcoatees, Trotskids, Antisect, Anti-Cimex, Rudimentari Peni and Ludwig Von 88. Only 1 copy available !!!
Artist : Police Des Moeurs
Label : Mannequin
dédales / LP
Montréal synth-pop band Police Des Murs is one of the finest and rawest bands in the minimal-synth and coldwave scene. 'Dédales' their 3rd LP, is keeping the pure energy of their previous efforts while leaving greater room for atmospheric and textural considerations. The album will lead you into the passage zone between civilisation and wilderness, a mysterious place where truth, lies, light and darkness collide. For fans of New Order, Martin Dupont, Rational Youth, Xeno & Oaklander... Limited edition of 500 copies !

It's not because I'm bored or not doing anything… I guess it's just that the more familiar I become with China, the less there is that stands out to me as blog-worthy. But I've been here for almost two weeks now, so I suppose I should at least post some of the highlights and some pictures.
Photos 1-2: People's Park (人民公园). A large, famous, and centrally-located park in Shanghai. The surrounding area is home to People's Square (人民广场), the Shanghai Museum (上海博物馆), and both East and West Nanjing Road (南京东路 and 南京西路). In my first week here, I went to People's Park twice to do homework. I suppose I'll probably go back at least one more time to shop and maybe go to the museum.
Photos 3-6: Evening in Shanghai and "Square Dancing" (广场舞). I like it here at night because most of the buildings have lights on them, and it's so pretty. One of my classmates showed me a great place to walk along Suzhou Creek (苏州河) near where we both live – I like to go there at night, but instead of walking the whole way, I usually stop to watch the people dancing and see all the dogs that people brought with them. One of my favorite things to do is get out before they turn on all the lights, and watch as each building gets lit up!
Photos 7-10: Jing'an Temple (静安寺). There's actually a subway stop here, and I pass right through it on my way to and from the Hutong School, so I figured I probably should go and see it! The ticket was more expensive than I thought (50 kuai, not 30 like the Internet said…), but I'm still glad I went. It was pretty and interesting. But it felt really weird to be in a Buddhist temple while being able to hear car horns and see skyscrapers and modern stores.
That's it for now because I'm tired and want to go to bed so I'm not late for class in the morning. Hope you got something out of this terribly boring post, haha. Good night!

Edición especial y ampliada del no 7 1992 preparado por el Congreso Internacional de Americanistas en Estocolmo/Uppsala 1994.
The central question raised in this study is the sense of community in Keskijärvi, a mining village in the north of Sweden. What is the nature of the local community and in which activities is it expressed? This question is examined through an empirical study of two communicative practices which convey local knowledge in the village. The method used is participant observation, supplemented with interviews. Findings indicate that no single, overarching local community exists in the village, that the communities that do exist are of two kinds: concrete vs. imagined, and that acquaintance was a salient feature in the variation between the two communicating practices.
Han tyckte sig ha levt förgäves, indelte soldaten Käcksson, torparen och metallarbetaren Gustaf Ericsson från Södermanland, när han 1894 lämnade det jordiska. Ett långt livs bemödanden att teckna ned bygdens folkminnen hade inte tagits emot som han hoppats. Men det var nog bara så, att tiden inte var mogen. Efter honom fanns över 7 000 handskrivna sidor, personligt, kunnigt, utförligt och ofta roligt skildrande allt från barndop till skörd, dräkt, besvärjelser, visor och gåtor. Av dessa har fem fristående delar av hans anteckningar publicerats:
The present dissertation deals with how a segment of the Swedish immigrant group mobilized to be included in American society. Three Swedish-American working class organizations have been studied as to how they interacted to promote their interests in Chicago and the Lake View district during the first decades of this century. Reflecting political, cultural and economic aspects of the immigrant workers' lives the case studies indicate that Swedish immigrant workers constructed an organizational network parallel to the one they had left in the old country known as "folkrörelsesamverkan" (popular movement cooperation). Like in Sweden this network was constructed as a haven for social mobilization, with the exception that in the American context an ethnic aspect was added.In the formative phase of their haven, historical retrospect and the defence of organized labor in the old country were important aspects of their activities. Through the educational and cultural programs that were organized, the group articulated and consolidated its position for interaction with American society including other ethnic groups. Political radicalism, including a pro-labor temperance movement, distinguished the group both within the Swedish enclave and the American labor movement. Nevertheless, in constant conflict and cooperation with other groups, new bonds of solidarity were developed which gradually enabled a re-definition of the group to include fewer ethnic and more class aspects. Once a wider definition of the group was implemented, the need for separate Swedish-American organizations decreased. Hence in the 1930s, by which time the Swedish immigrants had been included in the American labor movement, the Swedish-American labor movement also withered.
This article addresses the organisation of this growing social and cultural diversity in Sweden and the expressive forms through which it is publicly dramatised. To be more exact, the article deals with the role of dance and music in the formation of anew and powerful social and cultural category in Sweden: the retired or the'pensioners'. I argue that the expressive forms which pensioners use to create asense of togetherness and to become recognised as a cultural category in Swedishsociety, are basically the same as those which many ethnic groups have been usingfor a long time for the same purposes. By claiming "we are different, we have our own culture", and by using the same kinds of typified music, dance, folk costume,food, etc., as ethnic groups do to display their differences publicly, the pensionersbecome a sort of ethnic group. I refer to this as a process of ethnification. As a result, pensioners become more visible in society, strengthen their social andcultural identity, and increase their status and power at some levels in Swedish society. But at the same time they may also find themselves marginalized and demoted to a secondary level in the society as a whole, a level where mostimmigrants and other types of 'foreigners' in Swedish society are to be found.

Minnesota and Wisconsin farms generate 60 million to 80 million pounds of plastic each year but until now had no real options to recycle it. They had to make a choice of paying for it to go to a landfill, burying it on their own land or illegally burning it — none of them, they knew, good for the environment.
An Arkansas company has come up with a solution: In the past two years, it has given more than 4,400 dumpsters to farmers in the two states and then picked up the waste to turn into trash bags that are being used in parks locally.

Anne Erhard, SVP and NA Director, Corporate & Brand Citizenship/PurPle, MSLGROUP is a panelist for the "Effective CSR Marketing" session at the Net Impact Boston Career Summit on February 21st. Here's a sneak preview of what you've got to look forward to.
What inspired you to pursue a career with positive social or environmental impact?
I started my career in PR, more straight media relations and communications focused in the financial industry, specifically institutional money management. It fit as I had several PR internships in college – one in public affairs more specifically, and one surrounding the transportation industry. While I was moving up and getting promotions, I feared that I would be stuck doing the same thing for years without a feeling of real contribution to society. So I started doing some pro-bono communications work on the side and realized my passion was more on the issues side of things. That experience was enough to get me an entry level job in cause marketing/cause branding and even though this meant a step back (in pay, title) it has served me very well since. That was more than a decade ago!
What's the most interesting/most fun/most challenging aspect of your job?
The most interesting, fun and challenging aspect of my job is probably the same thing. It is the fact that I work on multiple clients, in multiple industries, making an impact within multiple issues. I love creating and communicating programs that have a business impact as well as a social one, and at any given moment I may be working in: the retail industry/female empowerment from supply chain internationally all the way to causes for women domestically; technology company/the need for NGOs to spark more online/mobile/social giving; health nonprofit seeking corporate support to help ensure the health of babies worldwide. I love to learn about the all of these issues and needs and carve solutions for making an impact, but there is a constant need to "become an expert" in any one industry or issue on a given day, which can be tricky – especially as issues are evolving rapidly.
What advice would you give to those looking for a career with a positive social or environmental impact?
There are many ways to make a positive impact so don't get too focused on one niche or specific career path. Here are a few options:
- Corporate – CSR, sustainability, community relations, strategic philanthropy
- NGO – corporate partner development, fundraising, programming and mission execution
- Agency – many agencies has practices focused in cause and CSR
- Government – advocacy, public affairs
Sign up today to come to the Career Summit on February 21st and join the panel "Effective CSR Marketing: Aligning CSR Strategy with Brand Marketing Objectives" to hear more from Anne.

Well, I've always liked toffee and butterscotch, but have an aversion to overly sweet things...gjetost is brilliant in that it taste like toffee or some sort of caramel...minus the sweetness. It has the consistency of hard cream cheese, and is delicious in little nibbly quantities. How it melted? We had no idea...which made it more intriguing. As a kid I liked toffee apples...I just couldn't eat a whole one from all the sugar...this seemed like a perfect combination. Cheese and pie? Well, I've seen and tried the cheddar apple pie combo, and it never really was my thing...like too many pickles on a sandwich, the cheddar was overpowering and, in my opinion, detracted from a perfectly good pie...and cheese. Any cheddar apple recipes I found called for grated cheese in the crust itself or melted on the top crust, so I had to improvise...mad science indeed.
I did a bit more piesearch before starting, looking in my trusty Joy of Cooking for a good apple pie recipe (this book has *never* let me down and has tonnes of references on methods of cookery). I found a good recipe, and (as usual) cut back the sugar a bit, to let the flavour of the fruit shine through. I also decided to not make the pie deep dish, as I usually do, as I wanted the ratio of apples to gjetost to be one that would allow the flavour of both to shine through.
I used my favourite pie crust recipe (same as in the peach pie post below). I made the recipe, divided it into 4 balls, as it is for 4 pies, froze 3 of them, and rolled out the remaining ball for crust. I rolled out the bottom crust and pressed it into the pie pan. Then I got to the apple filling, a variation on the Apple Pie I recipe from Joy of Cooking:
-6 peeled thinly sliced gala apples
-1T lemon juice
-1/2 c white sugar (less than the 3/4 c called for in the original recipe)
-1/2 t cinnamon
-2 T flour
I mixed this all together and spread evenly in the crust. Apples shrink when you bake them, so I filled it 1 1/3 times full to get a decently thick pie. Then I sliced the gjetost about 1/8 inch thick and laid it evenly over the top of the fruit...like so:We had a brick of gjetost about 3 inches by 2 inches by 1 inch and used 3/4 of it...the rest of it went in our bellies while we waited. Yum. Then I layered the top crust over it all, wetting and pinching the sides with a fork and cutting some slits in the top.
Then it went in a 425° oven for 30 minutes, after which I turned down the heat to 350° and baked it another 20-25 minutes until the crust was golden and the filling was starting to bubble out the crust slits.
Not to shabby eh? We were excited...it looked delicious. We managed to distract ourselves for 15 minutes to let the pie cool and sit a bit before having some...with vanilla ice cream of course.
As it turns out, gjetost and apples go brilliantly together in a pie. the caramel flavour of the cheese enhances the fruit flavour, but isn't overwhelming, and the usual sugary sweetness of caramel was absent, making for a rich creamy flavour. Decadent.
The gjetost didn't melt as much as it softened...it sort of fused to the crust and went a bit soft, like low fat cheese does when you broil it on toast. I give it two thumbs up. I will definitely make this again...and I highly recommend you give it a try, if you can hunt down some gjetost from your local exotic cheese shop.
I love being a mad scientist...:)

Without a doubt, Paynesville, a former ship building center, is the most popular spot in all of Victoria for water sports. You can find nearly any kind of water related activity here, as well as fantastic scenery and an abundance of wildlife. It is the perfect spot for any nature enthusiast or water lover.
Paynesville is a charming village that is surrounded by three lakes amidst Australia's famed Gippsland waterways, about 300 kilometers from Melbourne. Its unique location between Lake Wellington, Lake King and Lake Victoria gives visitors excellent access to saltwater as well as fresh water activities around the region's vast network of lakes, rivers and coastal waterways.
Paynesville is certainly the area's center for boating. There are boundless marinas around to dock, launch or rent a boat. An extensive canal system makes it simple to move throughout the whole of East Gippsland. Boaters here can do their own sailing or charter a vessel for sightseeing, dining or fishing.
There are also many opportunities for canoeing, tubing and kayaking in the Mitchell River. This is a terrific place to experience the magnificent scenery, wildlife areas and wilderness landscapes. An interesting natural feature here is the Silt Jetties. These are eight kilometer long delta formations at the mouth of the river that are the second largest of their kind in the world.
In addition to the many aquatic recreational activities, Paynesville is also noted for being a place to examine many native wildlife species, plant varieties and geological formations. Besides the many lakes and other waterways, the local environments also include marshlands, woods and grasslands. Nature enthusiasts gather here to observe a wide variety of animals that are abundant in their natural habitats.
One of the most popular attractions for nature lovers is the Rotamah Island bird observatory, located on the shore of Lake Victoria. This is a facility operated by the Royal Australian Ornithologists' Union and is an internationally known field study center. It also functions as a museum that features artifacts, photography and art. Visitors here can find a multitude of fascinating exhibits related to animal behavior, plant life and local ecology.
Birdwatchers will find hundreds of species of mammals, fish and native birds in the famous Lakes National Park, including many rare varieties of swans, pelicans, and ducks. This area is considered to have the most significant of all populations of rare wading birds found in Australia. There are also guided tours that enable the tourist to catch a glimpse of kangaroos, koalas and emus in the wild.
Naturally, the lake systems are heavily used for both commercial as well as recreational fishing and virtually all the lakes are easily accessible by boat. While the waters have a diverse variety of fish species for anglers, the most popular and plentiful are the notable black bream and the mullet. Fishing trips and boat tours around the lakes and rivers are always available from the marinas in Paynesville. Many water skiers, windsurfers and divers regularly visit to take advantage of the water.
Of course, you can also find excellent accommodations, restaurants and shopping. There are also many festivals, market events and yacht races. Without a doubt, Paynesville is the premier location in Australia for nautical and natural vacationing.

Unlike the "true Candor," I don't see everything in black and white. In fact, I don't really see any thing in black and white. I believe in truth, but many of those truths are not absolute, as I see them. And even where I see a truth as absolute, I think that others have have every right to believe something different.
A part of me is AMITY.
The Amity celebrity: Professor X. Pretty much the only thing that stops him from being just like Magneto is that he just wants everybody to get along.
I hate conflict, but my mother always says I should be a lawyer. That's because I like when things are "right". Logically speaking, that is. And sometimes, I argue for the things I believe to be so. But I could never be a lawyer because of the peace-seeking nature, and because I won't go against the truth. The Candor, and the Amity are in conflict with the Erudite, and I think the Erudite in me only shines through when it doesn't conflict or when it's a reflex.
And of course when it comes to answering any problem with an empirical solution, the Erudite mascot is Hermione.
When I think about this combination, I think most writers must be a combination of these three. Obviously, we're Amity, as we love the arts. We are Candor as we search for the truth, and Erudite as we seek and use knowledge. I guess the stories we tell and how we choose to tell them is influenced by which of the 3 shine brightest in us, and if any of the other factions are thrown into the mix as well.

A Playground To Smile About
All citizens want the community they live in to be responsive to their needs.
In Belton, Mo., the quick and positive reaction of the Parks and Recreation department to the pleas of a family show the tremendous effect a community can have on its citizens and its social capital.
In March 2010, Kelly Griffin, a mother of two daughters, wrote a heartfelt letter to Todd Spalding, Director of Parks and Recreation for Belton, to say that although they loved going to their local park, they were frustrated that their daughter was unable to play with her older sister.
Kelly explained that her daughter Paisley has a rare genetic syndrome that requires her to spend most of her time in a wheelchair. That left her sitting on the sidewalk, watching everyone else play, because she could not access the playgrounds in Belton's parks.
Both Paisley and her older sister, Hayley, often ended visits to the park in tears because one couldn't play, the other played by herself, and both parents were torn and frustrated. Kelly went on to say that it didn't seem fair that the parks were not set up for ALL kids to enjoy, and that children with special needs are entitled to play outdoors like every other kid.
The very next day, Kelly received a call from Spalding. He told Kelly, "I didn't realize the magnitude of the challenges that members of the community with disabilities faced."
He vowed to make it right. He asked if the family would come meet with his department and discuss the challenges the current play spaces presented to help him better understand how to improve them.
"When we showed up," said Kelly, "his assistant, Vanda Meehan, already had pictures of swings and playground surfaces ready to present to us at the meeting. We were blown away by their rapid response.
"Shortly after the initial meeting, Mr. Spalding contacted us and said they were going to re-do a whole playground and make it completely accessible, and they wanted our family to give input on the designs."
Belton Park and Recreation contacted PlayCore to learn more about the company's Seven Principles of Inclusive Design and to understand what products were available to help create the vision that the Griffin family dreamed of.
PlayCore, which created the design program in partnership with Utah State University's Center for Persons with Disabilities, saw the need to create a playground design program that addressed a multitude of abilities, taking inclusion beyond ADA access guidelines to provide best practice design principles that ensure that all people are included.
PlayCore's Play and Park Structures brand provided the products to execute the design, and their local representative, Karen Herren with ABCreative, listened carefully to ensure that the play space met the needs of the Griffins and the community.
Spalding contacted the Griffins to let them know that they were going for a completely new play space in the community's Memorial Park, and that they were going to put a measure on the ballot for the community to vote for the park improvements.
"The first time we saw the plans, I was overcome with emotion," Kelly Griffin said. "Just the thought of my daughter getting to play on a playground like that was so incredible! We were so impressed with the options that were offered.
"The plans included shade, and something for kids of all abilities, not just those in wheelchairs, but for kids with sensory, communicative, cognitive issues; we found all of that in their design plans."
The Griffins began working hand in hand with the Belton parks department team to get the community on board, and the measure passed with overwhelmingly strong community support. It is worth noting that the measure included plans to revamp the entire park, not just the play space, because the community saw the value and the overwhelming community capital that the new space would add.
The ribbon cutting ceremony to open the new space was held on October 13, 2011, only 18 months after that first letter from Kelly Griffin, which is a testament to the power of the park department and the community to commit to and achieve a goal.
Kelly states, "There are no words to describe the moment we arrived at the playground for the first time and Paisley was able to enter the play area in her wheelchair. There were no tears of hurt and frustration this time, only tears of joy and thankfulness poured from our hearts. All that our little girl wanted to do was play! She was able to laugh and giggle and play WITH her sister!
"Our family absolutely loves the park now. Paisley's favorite part is the slide; the smile that she has as she is going down is priceless!"
The Griffins have been approached by several families in surrounding communities, who share their excitement at being able to take their children with special needs to the park and experience the same playful joy and freedom.
They hope that by telling their story, other communities will see that there is no limit to what can be achieved by a park department and a community with vision, support, and dedication.

A free ad has been placed on Shooting People's mailing list for the essential crew…
Always more useful if they actually print your free ad and send it out in the mailing list, I find. Yes, that certainly would help.
Maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile Andy Martin gives me a quizzical look when I say I don't have a camera assistant yet. Or a loader. "They'll turn up," I say knowingly without the foggiest idea of how they will.
But just how am I going to get that film into the camera? Uh, oh.
Sandhya (pronounced Sandy) phones at 11pm and is available on Sunday, so that's that problem solved. Phew. Everything else is icing on the cake now.
Next day…
But now she can't make it. But she'll help me load the camera magazines on Friday night. And she'll try to come along on Saturday afternoon.
And Olly phoned to say he could be gaffer for the day. And Hannah can come and do sound. And Kathryn can come and do everything else, like boom op, logging and continuity. So we have a crew.

Looking for a job that isn't going to get outdated? Or your good at working with accounts and have enjoyed any work experience you have had that links to the management of company budget or accounts. Then this is the right career path for you to have a look at. In every business there has to be someone who manages the accounts. Ever business regardless of their size will either employ or hire someone to help check and manage their accounts.
Becoming an accountant doesn't just involve looking at the business accounts, but it is having the knowledge to advise and assist the business through looking at changes through their account data. Depending on the size of the company, the accountant would also work with each department to ensure budget is being kept. By tracking this an accountant is able to track where any cost may be reduced or where there may currently be unnecessary cost. Is this something you would be interested in? Would you be able to handle the responsibility involved?
Being able to provide advice to a company will help them to over come various financial challenges. This would include staying up to date on any new processes, for example when the HMRC updates any of the tax processes. This means you will need to be up to date on how these new processes work to ensure that this is also done for the company. Through this you will need to provide the company with assurance that their finances are in order and there will be a need to prove this to shareholders as well. This will prove to them that they have invested in the right company and their finances have been put to good use.
Tax is highly important part of managing the company accounts as this will involve any tax due is paid and on time. Throughout the year it is important to stay on top and keep track of all the financial aspects of the company. This will make the tax rebate a lot easier to do at the end of the tax year. If the accounts are not kept on top of then this could cause a lot of issues when doing the tax rebate.
As an accountant you could be working self employed and working for a few various small to medium businesses, but you could also work for a large company just working to manage their accounts. However, being self-employed would provide the opportunity to have flexible working hours, whereas working for a large company may not offer this.

Google Shopping has seen a meteoric growth of 32% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2017, compared to 12% for text ads. Google Shopping Feed Optimization is the key to get the most out of your data. This product data feed forms the foundation of any successful Google Shopping campaign. If the foundation is weak, it will end up bringing the entire campaign down and wreck all your investment.
Here are the best practices for Google shopping feed optimization, you should follow for the optimal results.
- GTIN: The benefits
The GTIN aka Global Trade Item Number is a significant part of the optimization process. All resellers are required to have GTIN. It can include an item's EAN (European Article Number), UPC (Universal Product Code), and ISBN (International Standard Book Number).So what role does GTIN play in Google shopping feed optimization?Google uses the GTIN to pull your product ad from the catalogue and places it into an auction with the other resellers of the same product. These ads set themselves up according to the attributes of the supplier's catalogue and override any optimizations made in the feed.These ads are triggered during high funnel specific searches in the form of product-listing ad. Once a user clicks on that ad, he will be re-directed to a landing page consisting of all the variations of that particular product.
Moreover, GTINs also enable your product ad to get featured during Google searches with keywords like "Best" or "Top". Customer reviews come into play as a deciding factor that determines the position of your ad. The more positive reviews you get, the higher is the probability to get featured at the top.
- Title Optimization
Product title optimization is one of the key steps for Google shopping campaign optimization. A research carried out by SearchEngineLand saw a CTR uplift of 18% on keyword-rich product titles as compared to other titles. The structure of the title can depend on the category of your business vertical. For example, you can structure your title in following ways if you are in Apparel and Electronics vertical:Ensure important keywords are included in your title. Test these keywords and make sure they mirror the product information from the website.
- Product Color
There was a time when it was recommended to use the colour in the feed that a user would search for instead of the actual colour. For example, Pomegranate colour would often be referred as "Dark Red" or "Red". Navy Blue may also be referred as dark blue as shown in the image below.However, if you try this now, you will get disapproval from Google for mismatched landing page information. Google Crawlers scan (or crawl) through the landing page data, they match the colour attribute in the feed to the colour value provided on the landing page. They will detect the mismatch in the value resulting in instant disapproval.
- Image Optimization
Use the best images possible for the shopping feed. Use images that command attention and describe your product clearly.Consider an example below:The highlighted product image stands out from others, doesn't it?So use the images that grab your audience's attention and can communicate what you are selling. Because at the end, Images sell!
- Promotion
Promotional offers can entice customers and has the potential to exponentially increase the CTR (Click-Through-Rate) and lower your cost-per-conversion.A promotional ad will look something like this:Special Offer tag showcases the promotional offer of the product.To create promotions, go to the Promotions dashboard of your Merchant Center account. Then follow the steps below:
- Log in to your Merchant Center account
- Select Merchant Promotions from the left-hand navigation
- Click Promotions
- Click the plus icon
- Enter the promotion details and click Save
- Competitive Price
SearchEngineLand also performed another research to study the impact of price changes on Google Shopping optimization. This study included 700 products with over 100,000 impressions, price rise of average 43% on all products.With no changes in the bids, the impressions were reduced significantly by 70%. To maintain the traffic volume, increasing the bid price was a considerable option; however, Google now penalizes the increase in selling price.This showcases how Google Shopping Algorithm favours the products with lower prices and serves these product ads more efficiently.
- Map with Google Product Categories
Not all products require categories, except for few like books, clothing, etc.However, it is recommended that you map your product to the Google product categories to make your ads more relevant. Here are the few Google Shopping Tips that are relevant to Google product categories:
- Choose the most specific category that is closely relevant to the search term.
- Select the category that is based on product's main function.
- Choose categories that were published after August 2011.
- Map with Reviews and Ratings
Graham Charlton, the Editor in Chief of E-consultancy, mentioned in one of his blogs that 61% of customers read online reviews before finalizing on purchase decision on e-commerce sites. He also stated that 88% of customers trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations. Seller ratings and product reviews are more important than ever to e-commerce websites now.There are few ways you can get customer feedback, but the two methods generally used are:
- Google Customer Reviews: A free-to-use program to collect post-purchase reviews on behalf of advertisers.
- Third-Party Review Sites: A set of sites approved by Google that offer free or paid services.
You might be not aware of 'Google Customer Review'. Check out how you can use it via Merchant Center.
Google Shopping is one of the most effective platforms that can help you showcase your products in front of the right customers. We hope these 8 tips for Google Shopping Campaign Optimization helps you boost your sales and grow your business exponentially.

It is one of those irritating things that people do with babies - to predict their occupation.
These career forecasts are usually based on the flimsiest of evidence – he can hold a crayon; an artist! He likes aeroplanes; a pilot!
But I confess, I am the worst for this. I do it all the time and in that moment, I seriously consider whether this is the right direction for Snooks. At 16 months, I think he should be keeping his options open.
Perhaps it is all part of being a parent – the desire to find the perfect path and steer our young ones along it. But it's a fool's errand. Not to mention, deeply unfair on the child.
I try to keep this in mind as the image of Snooks on stage at the Albert Hall, bowing to an ecstatic audience, violin and bow in hand, swims before my eyes.
I mentioned this vision once to a friend who actually plays the violin and her response was "God don't do that to him – make him into the nerd who carries a violin to school every day."
Then I worried about the dangers of celebrity – the treatment by the press, the detachment from the real world, the awful come down when the star fades - and decided it would be better to be unsung, quietly excelling at something, out of the public eye.
After watching a programme about some guys who followed some fish around the Pacific Ocean for three months waiting for the right moment to film them, I started leaning towards marine biologist – so long as he came home once in a while to see his mama.
Passing strangers also feel free to tell Snooks' fortune, a number of whom have taken one look at him and announced he is bound for the silver screen. Glossy golden locks and a well-timed smile seem to qualify him for the role.
Another favourite is professional footballer. This probably tops the poll of vox pop forecasts. One woman even went so far as to remark, "Well that's your pension sorted," as she watched Snooks dribble her son's ball across the park.
Snooks' Godmother, a teacher of many years standing, often bemoans the fact that the many wannabe Beckhams who pass through her hands year after year, could have made very good foremen, had their expectations been a little more realistically managed.
Lucky for Snooks then, that he has parents barely able to name two members of the England team.
And also lucky for him that if you can inherit a sporty gene, it seems you can also carry a desire to know how everything works in your blood – in other words, be a born engineer.
His father, The Engineer, and I discussed whether he could have inherited such a leaning after watching Snooks examine the wheel-base of every buggy he came across, long before he could walk.
Or could we have inadvertently encouraged his technophilia? He did, after all, watch Megastructures once or twice in the first few weeks of his life, when we had all given up on the idea of sleep during the hours of darkness.
More recently he has developed a fascination for motorbikes, something I can definitely say I have not encouraged, having witnessed my mother's face when my older brother was out late at night on his.
Our journeys to Snooks' weekly engagements now involve zigzagging across the road to admire parked vehicles of interest on either side. And no, he does not look at the shiny paintwork or the nice leather seat (which are the bits that interest me). I watch his gaze fall lovingly over the cylinders and gearbox, drinking it all in.
Last week, when we finally made it to the local leisure centre's Toddler Gym, a fabulous space for wheeling hoops and climbing on foam shapes under the supervision of a lovely lady called Alison, I spent half of the morning retrieving Snooks from behind the bouncy castle where he was examining the machinery used to inflate it.
It got worse at the end of the session when Alison gathered us all round for a sing song - all bar Snooks who now wanted to stand on the deflated castle and be told exactly where it had gone.
"He's going to be an engineer," Alison muttered as we left.
I don't mind what he does so long as he is happy.
And I finally realise that my parents really did mean that when they said it, all those years ago.

We are heading towards an Idiocracy!
Thus far in the United States' current election cycle, Donald Trump looks to become the the Republican Party's nominee for President. This has me worried considering how in your face and unapologetic he has been so far. I can only imagine what he would be like on the international stage. Leaders who have much of their support from really angry people do not always make good decisions once they get into power.
On the other side we have a close race between the extremely untrustworthy Hillary Clinton, who does not even seem to be aware that she is lying, and Bernie Sanders, whose socialistic ideas make President Barack Obama seem like a light-weight.
Are we doomed for the next several years, or is there a glimmer of hope that I am missing?
Well, you already mentioned Sanders so...
What we have right now, as Sanders is apt to point out, is already socialism. It's just corporatist socialism -- socialist principles of government intervention applied exclusively for the benefit of the rich and prosperous.
What we need is a good dose of Bernie's democratic socialism -- socialist principles applied instead to benefit those in need so that everyone can be coequal and communal participants in society.
I fucking hated that movie.
In short though, no we probably aren't heading towards idiocracy; we're just in the middle of a spat of bad, emotional decision-making and the nation will probably get its head together in 4 years and maybe we'll learn a valuable lesson from it.
I'm honestly curious about what would happen if Trump was elected because alot of the things he says he will do is simply impossible. He has a fourth graders understanding of what the president actually does but to be fair so does most of America. Our "checks and balances" system is certainly broken but even in its current state it would still prevent such extremist ideas.
While on the subject Sanders is in a similar spot just on the opposite end. though his attempts won't make the international community look at our nation like a child throwing a tantrum most of his goals are far too drastic to ever get put into law. I'd say the only ones that are possible would be free college and healthcare mostly due to America becoming increasingly dissatisfied by it. Other things could be nudged like increased taxes on the wealthy and tighter FDA regulations. More major things like a massive cut into corporate revenue or decentralizing banks doesn't stand a chance.
One does not elect someone like Sanders in the current political landscape and expect him to succeed on driving every promise to completion.
One elects someone like Sanders because doing so sends a very clear message to the body politick about what is needed, and what is wanted.
Electing Sanders to the presidency, if, indeed, he earns the nomination, isn't likely to see huge changes immediately, but it will alter the political landscape for years to come and make those changes possible in the future. Electing Hilary, (or most of the republican nominees) on the other hand, will have the opposite effect of solidifying politics into corporate welfare and war hawkishness (i.e. Business as Usual) for at least another 4-8 years.
Electing Trump. . . well I can't say what that would do. He's corrupt, and stupid, and vile but running on the idea of anti-co--hold on I'll just post an article that'll make the point for me.
I'd say the worst part about the Primaries of this year is that Trump isn't even the worst person the Republicans have put forward, considering that Ted Cruz wants to be our Ayatollah Khomeini and Ben Carson has seemingly lobotomized himself.
Its a comment not on the politicians but on voters not understanding the role and powers the president is granted. If you want real change you should focus more on state elections. Your governor and congressmen have far more power than the president, or perhaps I should say have a far greater impact on the lives of your average citizen.
Last I checked, Sanders and Clinton both crush Trump in hypothetical national polls. At this point it makes more sense to muse about what their presidency would look like instead of toying with the idea that Trump would win a general election.
Clinton vs Trump is looking like it might actually be a close race.
Bernie, does, however, crush Trump, but with the democratic party doing everything it can to shore up Hillary and Bernie's issues with black voters up to now, Trump losing isn't really something you can be comfortable with yet.

With just under two days left until Christmas, thousands of shoppers are flocking to stores in their droves searching for those perfect gifts.
What you need to know before hitting the shops
Though time is running out and you're likely consumed with the thought that you have so much to do before the big day, there's no need to panic - just yet.
One of the things you need to know before stepping out to take on the masses, who are also doing their last-minute Christmas shopping, is store opening hours.
Rather than blindly heading out into the fray, take a savvy approach with the advantage of extended shopping hours.
Major retailers are pulling out all the stops.
Smart shoppers think about pricey parking
Parking is r anked as more stressful than long queues at cash registers and battling large shopping crowds, the Herald Sun reports.
While some shopping centres offer free parking, note there are some which charge. It always pays to check before heading out so you're not stung by sharp fees.
How long left to shop online?
If leaving the comfort of your home at this time of year seems too much, and we can't blame you, then shopping online is your go-to solution.
While there are only a few hours left before the big day itself, it's still possible to shop and get gifts delivered directly to your door.
Shopping the best deals
Once upon a time you had to wait until Christmas was over to snap up the best deals.
Not anymore.
Some shops start their mark down sales early, ensuring you can pick up some quality, yet affordable gifts for your loved ones (or for yourself).
Last minute giftspiration
If you're still struggling to think of the perfect gifts for your loved ones, or you're just wanting to play things safe for a fussy relative, a voucher from a major retailer will never go astray.

Juan Tamad (Filipino for "Lazy John"), is a character in Philippine folklore noteworthy for extreme laziness.[1] He is usually portrayed as a child, although in some interpretations, he is said to be a young man.
Arguably, the Juan Tamad story most often told illustrates his utmost laziness to the point of stupidity that it becomes comedic. In it, Juan Tamad comes upon a guava tree bearing ripe fruit. Being too slothful to climb the tree and take the fruits, he instead decides to lie beneath the tree and let gravity do its work. There he remained, waiting for the fruit to fall into his gaping mouth.
Other Juan Tamad stories include:
A book published by an unknown author in 1919 in Manila entitled Buhay na Pinagdaanan ni Juan Tamad na Anac ni Fabio at ni Sofia sa Caharian nang Portugal (Tagalog for "The Life lived by Juan Tamad, son of Fabio and Sofia, in the Kingdom of Portugal") contains a poem consisting of 78 pages of four-line stanzas at seven stanzas per page. It tells of how Juan Tamad was born to a couple named Fabio and Sofia, and his adventures in Portugal.
Several Filipino films have treated Juan Tamad as a central or supporting character.
Juan Tamad is a man who is buried by monkeys who, because of his laziness, thought he was long dead.

What Makes Great Web Design?
So what makes a great web design?
A great website needs to make the right impression as soon as you load it up. This means it should look highly professional, modern, eye catching and crisp and should feature high resolution images and an intuitive layout. At the same time, it should be effective in immediately communicating what your website is about, who it's aimed at and what you're selling if you're a business. If someone lands on your page and they don't instantly know what it is that you're selling/providing then they will likely leave within the minute. Then they need to know where to click, how to get the information they want and what to do next. Don't be mistaken – a minute is actually a relatively average amount of time for punters to spend on any website!
But these days, it's not enough for a web design to simply look the part. At the same time, it needs to be designed with SEO in mind so that Google can easily search and index its pages and content. It also needs to work on all manner of different screen sizes and devices. If your site doesn't use a responsive design for mobile, if it doesn't have touch-friendly controls, then you are going to get penalized by Google and you're going to lose visitors.
Your page needs to load quickly, it needs to present information in the right manner and it needs to be free from errors. This is all part and parcel of great web design and web development.

For more on Northwestern's historic night, see the Feb. 27 edition of the Sports Journal. Request your free digital subscription today.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Northwestern's expected run to a Class 3A state championship got off to a bit of a sluggish start, but coach Kathie Layden's Tigers used a 16-1 run in the second quarter to take command and roll to a 63-42 win over Greensburg at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The No. 2 Pirates led early and trailed only 15-13 early in the second quarter before Northwestern went on its decisive run. The Tigers eventually led by as many as 26 points in the fourth quarter before settling for the final margin.
The victory gives top-ranked Northwestern (29-1) its first state title in program history, although head coach Kathie Layden became the second coach to lead two different schools to a state championship joining Donna Cheatham. She guided Tri-Central to Class A titles in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
Stephanie Burns led the Tigers (who finish with a 22-game winning streak) with 17 points, while Kendal Bostic added 14 and Madison Layden (the coach's daughter) with 13 points.
Misha Morrison led Greensburg (23-4) with 12 points.
Class 3A State Championship Records
Most Points in a Quarter: (Tied) 24 by Northwestern vs. Greensburg (2nd quarter).
Most Combined Fouls: 42 by Northwestern (21) and Greensburg (21).
Sarah Vas named Mental Attitude Award winner
Following the game, members of the IHSAA Executive Committee named Sarah Vas of Northwestern High School as the winner of the Patricia L. Roy Mental Attitude Award in Class 3A Girls Basketball.
The award is presented annually to a senior participant in each classification who was nominated by her principal and coach and has demonstrated excellence in mental attitude, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability.
Vas is team captain for Northwestern, and a four-year letter winner in basketball. She has helped the team to a conference championship, two sectional championships, a regional championship and a semi-state championship.
Outside of athletics, she spends time volunteering for different events at Northwestern and has also given her time to Howard Haven-Nursing Home. In the classroom, she is third in her class of 117. Vas has been dubbed the Outstanding Chemistry student and earned a level three honorable mention for the 2015 national letters about literature contest.
She is the daughter of Timothy and Mary Vas and will study pharmacy at Purdue University.
The Indiana Fever and Indiana Pacers, the presenting sponsor of the IHSAA Girls Basketball State Tournament, presented a $1,000 scholarship to Northwestern High School in the name of Sarah Vas. Since 1989, more than $840,000 in college scholarships have been presented to deserving high school athletes in Indiana.
The award is named in honor of the former IHSAA assistant commissioner Patricia L. Roy, who oversaw the girls basketball state tournament from its inception in 1976 until her retirement in 1999.
