The man in the red coat and top hat strolling along Hollywood Boulevard had a few words of advice for the tourists from Texas.
"When you get to Beverly Hills, it's Ro-day-o Drive," Gregg Donovan says. It's not some bull-riding event, so don't pronounce it that way, he tells them.
Donovan should know. He spent 11 years as Beverly Hills' official greeter before being laid off as the recession deepened.
These days he has traded Rodeo Drive for Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame. Instead of working for the Beverly Hills Conference and Visitors Bureau, he now represents a tour bus company.
But the shtick remains the same.
He belts out "Welcome to Hollywood! You have arrived!" in a multitude of languages (100, he claims) and poses for photos or waves at passing cars, a regal figure sharing a sidewalk with people dressed like action figures.

We shared two beautiful Seders with wonderful family and friends and I can't believe how much work went into those two nights and it's over, just like that! My house is starting to get back to normal and now I'm trying to plan what to eat for the next few days. My family is okay with leftovers for one day, but to be honest, I feel so stuffed and really need to get back to eating 'healthy'! If you are observing Passover, you must be faced with the same challenges that I am!

Students in art programs at Benedictine College have the opportunity to serve their community while learning their craft. Through the Center for Service-Learning, students in the art department go out into the community to provide art education, paint beautiful murals and perform other services to those in their area. In the Benedictine tradition of ora et labora ("prayer and work"), the students are called to prayerfully utilize their gifts at the service of the larger community in whatever capacity they can.
Benedictine College was founded in 1971, when St. Benedict's College (for men) and Mount St. Scholastica College (for women) merged. Located in Atchison, Kansas, the school has a profound Catholic identity, associated with two Benedictine monasteries — one a community of men, the other a community of women — and offers Mass three times a day in different locations on the campus.
Christa Kagin has been chair of the art department since 2013. She recognizes and emphasizes the importance of service learning for the art students.
"We remind the students that art is important to life — a fact they know well, personally," Kagin said. "But beyond that, the gift of learning and creating is not theirs alone, and if they experience blessings from art, others will, too. They therefore have a responsibility to give back some of what they have been given."
She feels that it is not enough for students to learn about art and how to create it themselves. "They need to put their learning into action, in their art, but also in their lives. Service learning is one way we ask students to do this."
"We want our students to be engaged with their communities. We want them to see how art can be shared with others. We also want them to see how they have something to offer and something to gain."
Outside of courses, the art department has created city murals, served at the local family art day for the Atchison Art Association and provided art to a rural elementary school that does not have an art teacher, according to Kagin.
"We have been called by God to share the gifts we have with those in need. Service learning allows students to see that giving need not be monetary, nor just mission-based; giving is sharing your own passion in a generous way with others," Kagin said.
The effect that service learning has had on the community, as well as the students themselves, is unquestionable. Many students have found that it influences them for the rest of their lives, even having an impact on their career choices.
"What I fell in love with was watching each child's mind come to life in the artwork!"
Marie Orsinger, a 2016 graduate of Benedictine College, helped teach art to the students at an elementary school in Effingham, Kansas, which had taken art out of the curriculum; another year, she did the same thing for high schoolers.
"This was a chance to bring art to students who do not normally get to create, but actually could use it the most," she said.
In her senior year, Orsinger got some field experience in art therapy, working with a 10-year-old boy in Atchison. After observing him and writing out goals, they began meeting once a week for about eight weeks.
"By the end of the eight weeks," Orsinger said, "he had made progress toward all the goals I set for our sessions. He saw himself as being good. He controlled his anger. He wanted to try in class."
This experience helped shape Orsinger's goals for herself and her career.
"The biggest blessing I have received from these opportunities has been seeing how art can heal, grow and change people," she said.
Kelsey Marchand, an art education major going into her senior year at Benedictine, spent three weeks team-teaching at a high school in Atchison, Kansas.
The school does not have an art program, so she and others from Benedictine planned lessons to "share the basic foundations of art, while also encouraging personal and group creativity and growth," she said.
While at first she thought the students would do the bulk of the learning, she found herself getting more from the experience than she ever imagined.
"The unique personalities of the students, as well as the raw talent and creativity they possessed, regularly inspired, energized and motivated me," Marchand said. "I found myself giving, but also receiving abundantly."
The service-learning experience helped Marchand realize that she wants to be a teacher of the arts, seeking "to use art to teach about the importance of presence, service to others and human dignity."
Rachel Francis, a 2015 graduate of Benedictine College, is pursuing a master's of science in art therapy at Florida State University.
While at Benedictine, Francis enjoyed working with nearby schools to lead art experientials, including the home-school community and the art association.
"What I fell in love with was watching each child's mind come to life in the artwork," she said. "It's honestly the most incredible thing."
This experience has helped lead Francis into a life of dedicated service. After graduating, she spent 15 months at Camp Courageous in Iowa working with people with disabilities; she then went on to graduate school.
The service-learning component of her time at Benedictine helped guide Francis toward the art-therapy career she is pursuing.
"The truth is that I have faith not in myself, but in God. I have faith that I was led to Benedictine College, to the art department and ultimately to Christa Kagin, who introduced me to art therapy," she said.
"In the end, it's not about me. It's not about me now, and it will never be about me when I'm the art therapist in the room," Francis said.
"It will always be about truth; the truth about God, his creation, the natural design of creativity in the human brain. It will be about the client, their story, their needs and their goals," Francis said. "It will be about that mysterious act of creating art where the metaphysical meets the physical, where neuroscience meets spirituality, where the things we feel but can't articulate become things we can see."
Paul Senz writes from Oregon.

To mark 60 years of the Queen's reign the Diamond Jubilee will take place this year. The celebrations will centre around an extended weekend on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th June. Aswell as having the bank holiday on the 4th of June, we also have the 5th June off thanks to Queenie wooo!!
The Queen came to the throne on 6th, February 1952 and her coronation took place on the 2nd, June 1953. She celebrated her Silver Jubilee (25 years) in 1977 and her Golden Jubilee (50 years) in 2002. The Royal family have traveled around the UK, also visited my city, Leicester! It was a exciting day at work even if we only did see the car, that the Queen and Kate was in, drive past our office! I know my drawing doesn't look much like the Queen but at least i tried!

How hard is swahili to learn?
August 6, 2008 by Admin · 5 Comments
I'm thinking about learning swahili? How hard is it to learn when english is my first language? Any other good language ideas for me? I want to be a linguist and a translator. I was thinking maybe Farsi…thanks!
It's pretty hard to learn if you come from a purely English language backround. It is much easier to read than to speak. However, you should try learning French or perhaps some Latin.

Bhagavata Purana
Bhagavata Purana or Srimad Bhagavatam , an "Epic Philosophical and Literary Classic", holds a prominent position in India's voluminous written wisdom. The timeless wisdom of India is expressed in the Vedas, ancient Sanskrit texts that touch upon all fields of human knowledge.
Originally preserved through oral tradition, the Vedas were first put into writing by Srila Vyasadeva, the "literary incarnation of God." After compiling the Vedas, Srila Vyasadeva was inspired by his spiritual master to present their profound essence in the form of Srimad-Bhagavatam. Known as "the ripened fruit of the tree of Vedic Literature, Srimad-Bhagavatam is the most complete and authoritative exposition of Vedic Knowledge.

|Gone Girl's Amy Dunne, played by
Rosamund Pike.
To recap: the structure of Gone Girl is a battle of dueling unreliable narrators. The chapters alternate between the point of view of a husband (Nick) and his wife (Amy), and both are unreliable because they omit, distort, and/or are incapable of accurately interpreting information. At the beginning of the book, we're led to believe that a wife has been murdered by her husband, and by the end, we find out that the wife has, in fact, only staged her murder in order to frame her husband.
Actually, I should probably correct myself and say that there are three unreliable narrators--Nick and two versions of Amy. In the first part of the book (Boy Loses Girl), there is Diary Amy--Amy as presented in the pages of a diary that she creates and, later, plants as evidence against Nick. The other is the Real Amy--the one who has gotten away with staging her murder and framing Nick. For the purposes of this post, I'll deal with Diary Amy.
The challenge with Nick's character was to make a murder suspect compelling and charming enough for the reader to want to follow his side of the story. The challenge with Diary Amy is the opposite--she has to read convincingly enough as a victim and a heroine to keep the reader from guessing her more malignant role in this drama. Here's a rundown of how I think this works:
1. The brilliant device of the diary!
This one fact alone--that we think we are reading diary pages--is enough to lure us into a false sense of intimacy and truthfulness, even though the self Amy presents in these pages is largely made up. After all, we might think, who lies in their diary?
The sense of time created by these diary entries is also significant--the entries are spontaneous, genuine, and most importantly, created prior to Amy's disappearance--they presume no foreknowledge of future events, other than Amy's suspicions and worries. This is an important distinction, when compared to Nick's chapters, which are written after Amy's disappearance, and automatically put him in the position of trying to explain what happened to his wife. That means, from the reader's point of view, Nick is under pressure to convince us (and himself) of his innocence from the beginning, while Diary Amy is automatically presumed innocent.
2. Amy's witty self-deflection
|Snipped from Favim.com.
"Tra and la! I am smiling a big adopted-orphan smile as I write this. I am embarrassed at how happy I am, like some Technicolor comic of a teenage girl talking on the phone with my hair in a pony tail, the bubble above my head saying, I met a boy! (p10)"The rest of the diary very much continues in this voice--the delicious mix of irony and earnestness of a reluctant yet head-over-heels woman in love. It's almost hard not to fall in love with her oneself--she's gushy and goo goo-eyed over Nick, but she's endlessly self-aware and self-deprecating about it: "I have become a wife, I have become a bore, I have been asked to forfeit my Independent Young Feminist card. (p38)" Against her best instincts, she has devoted her life to her man.
The result is an expert kind of self-deflection--the portrait of the kind of woman we should hate (and that, in fact, the Real Amy does hate, as we'll find out later), the kind whose life begins and ends with her husband's--and yet we like her! She's just like us--she's smart and funny and, yes, complicated.
3. Nick destroys Amy's dewy-eyed dreams
"He sat down...and glanced at the present on the table and said nothing....He clearly wasn't going to even graze against an apology--hey, sorry things got screwy today. That's all I wanted, just a quick acknowledgment.
'Happy day after anniversary,' I start.
He sighs, a deep aggrieved moan. 'Amy, I've had the crappiest day every. Please don't lay a guilt trip on me on top of it....'
'I was just saying happy anniversary.'
'Happy anniversary, my asshole husband who neglected me on my big day.'
We sit silent for a minute, my stomach knotting. I don't want to be the bad guy here. I don't deserve that....(p67)"Diary Amy comes across as making a good faith effort, while Nick reads like a self-involved jerk.
In short, Diary Amy is a brilliant construction of an unreliable narrator--one that reads just as compellingly after the reader knows the novel's outcome, as before.

We have to assume that Stuart Baggs The Brand was not lying when he said that everything he touches turns to 'sold', as the phone which he answered not 2 weeks ago appears to have vanished, ensuring that Lord Shugah has to turn up at the house himself. Half seven, and they're all in their jammies, apart from Stella, who's fully dressed.
There's a good deal of panic as word spreads, and probably for good reason, as Lord Shugagh is in the sitting room playing Cut The Rope on his iPhone, and looking a bit impatient. Stuart Baggs The Brand remains calm, but turns up in socks and shorts.
So, they've to make a marketing campaign for a cleaning project, and they've to appoint team leaders who haven't been in charge yet. Now, Jo owns a cleaning company, so that's going to come back to haunt her; the other team is mercilessly without merit, and therefore might just be ok. Or not. Because Alex has a background in advertising.
If Alex was an apple pie, the apples inside would be orange, apparently.
So Alex gets put in charge of Chris, Sandeesh, Laura and Stuart Baggs The Brand, a team so doomed to fail that I might as well be up front and tell you right now that they lose. But with style, so stay with me.
On the other team, Christopher is put in charge and is bringing the killer instinct of a Royal Marine into his business. Gulp.
They have to think up some colours for the bottle, an advertising campaign, and a general marketing approach.
At Christopher & Co., Stella thinks cleaning makes you all happy and passionate, which sounds naff, but in retrospect might have had more legs than what they ultimately come up with, rather ironically.
Alex & Co come up with 'Swipe' which is ok, and then Chris comes up with 'Germinate', which Alex (rather wisely) hates. Laura and Alex come up with 'Helping Hand', which is so mediocre even Chris laughs at it.
Christopher and Stella head off to the poshest Mother & Toddler group in the country. It's all cupcakes and metallic balloons and nice clean children in co-ordinating outfits. One of the mums comes up with the idea of 'octopus', as she needs more arms. They love it. They absolutely love it. It's The One. It's The Idea. Never mind that it's a bit rubbish.
Stuart Baggs, Sandeesh and Chris are off to a more normal parent and toddler group, although it only appears to have about 3 toys, which is a bit sad. Chris asks what they think of 'Germinator', and they hate it. They love 'Helping Hand' though. Weirdos. They also think the bottle should be yellow.
Alex and Laura are in the supermarket, looking at bottles of cleaning stuff. Laura suggests they could call it 'Blitz', which I think is quite good, but Alex thinks old people might not like it, but are all dead anyway, or something. They end up back on Germinator, because Chris has thought up an advert and Stuart can do a good Terminator impression.
And so to the designers. 'Octo-Kleen' looks quite good, like an actual thing you'd buy. 'Germ-o-nator' looks like something you'd kill rats with, which is weird because it has a picture of a child on the bottle. And also it has to be kept out of reach of children. Which is particularly unfortunate, since their advert involves a child using it.
And so to the recording studio, where Stuart is doing impressions of germs ('influenza is cockney'), while Laura whines that she hasn't been utilised enough, and the sound guy contemplates beating Stuart to death with his headphones.
Meanwhile, Christopher's team are creating the most appalling, creepy, hideous piece of footage ever to come out of the television age. It's so bad, I'm not even going to describe it. This is one of those episodes you just have to watch. To summarize, wife is dismayed at mess of house, husband sits on sofa, she dresses as an octopus and uses Octo-Kleen to clean faster (because she now has so many hands), before joining him on the sofa, for a night of what can only be imagined as pure agony. Nick is appalled.
Chris is directing the Germinator advert. Does anyone know what the adverb for 'mediocre' is? Because it would a useful term to have in one's vocabulary to describe the way Chris does things. Anyway, small boy with toxic chemicals does well, and otherwise it's all quite mediocre.
Finally, they have to pitch to industry experts. Laura knows what she's talking about, and comes up with a decent pitch, which Alex then hands to Sandeesh to do, because yet again, she hasn't really done anything. Laura thinks it's a bit rubbish, because it is, to be honest. She whines some more.
At the agency, there are actual people who actually really know what they're talking about. This should be fun. Sandeesh goes first, with Germ-o-nator. She pitches quite well, in the end. Then they watch the advert. One of the industry people asks how funny they think the ad is, and Chris says he's watched it, like, 20 times, and has peed his pants every time. Stop, Chris. Stop. Now.
Next, Octi-Kleen, where 8 hands are better than 2. Jamie says men don't want a night of fun in a dirty house. Women find it hard to keep up with these demands. So Octi-Kleen is great. They watch the ad and cringe in unison.
Feedback to Lord Shugagh; basically, they all hated them both. They say things like 'travesty' and 'distasteful'.
In the boardroom, we're forced to watch the adverts again. Lord Shugagh points out that they're both basically rubbish. And the advertising people thought they were both basically rubbish. Christopher's team are told that 'technically, they haven't lost', because Lord Shugagh quite likes the octopus. They don't get much of a treat, though, as they're shipped off to a dodgy looking karaoke den to sing 'We Are The Champions' really badly while wearing cowboy hats.
In the losers' cafe, Alex asks for feedback, and they all stare at him and sip more tea (from, and I hadn't noticed this before, polystyrene cups. What kind of cafe is this?). In the boardroom, Alex is all up for 'discussing this further with Lord Sugar', which is good, since Lord Sugar is well up for discussing how crap they were. There's an argument about whether the mums said the bottle should be yellow (they did, but whether the information was passed on is lost to the cutting room floor).
They snipe some more, Sandeesh looks fed up and Laura whines a bit. Alex waffles. Then he says Sandeesh was great, and he's bringing her and Chris back into the boardroom.
Out they go and in they come. Alex is told he didn't manage well, and points out that he manages people all the time, which doesn't help. Chris and Alex yell at each other for a while. It's a weird combination of mediocre and mental.
Sandeesh gets sent back to the house by Lord Sugar, because Alex was stupid to bring her back in. Then Alex gets fired, but 'with regret'. Anyway, Alex doesn't need Lord Shugagh, he says in the taxi home.
Back in the house, Laura is saying "I know everyone's shocked I'm here, which is really obvious, so thanks, but anyway...". It's all very passive agressive.
Time to start making predictions, I think. Currently, my hypothetical money's on Stella or Liz to win, with Jamie and Christopher as outsiders.
Next week they have to sell big screen experiences to the general public; I do not know why, possibly because they haven't sold it to me yet. Someone meticulous gets fired, so I'm thinking Christopher.

My excursion to Colorado is coming to a close and I feel the need to write this while these thoughts and feelings are still fresh. The journey out here was a long and complicated one, filled with unexpected bumps in the road. I remained unusually optimistic and relaxed as a result of thinking about seeing the mountains again. To be able to climb one and really see the blue of distance. I somehow have escaped my anxiety for the time being and have been thinking and feeling so clearly. Perhaps it's the high altitude, being somewhere new, or the amount of weed smoke clouding this city (a joke should anyone need clarification). But I'm leaving here with a lasting impression that I hope sticks with me and perhaps might help some of you.
So here it is: life is far too short to waste it on attempting to make a lot of things work. Of course there are things in this world worth fighting for, but nothing is worth harming your emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing over. So stop trying to look like you did when you were 16. Start eating better foods and be active because it feels good and it's good for you. Donate the clothing that you've been desperately trying to fit into to a good charity. You'll feel better for it and it won't haunt you. Stop wasting time trying to like Mozart and Chopin because you've been lead to believe classical music/instrumentals will validate your intelligence. It doesn't. Instead pick up that book you've been intending to read or take that trip you've been dreaming of and learn something about the world and yourself. Stop trying to plan out your life. Knowing what you want is healthy, but planning out the rest of your life will only lead to disappointments and feelings of failure. You deserve some freedom, even when it's from yourself. And here is the most important thing. Listen carefully. Let it sink in. For the love of all that is good in this world, please stop trying to make things work with people by waiting around hoping they will change. You are wasting your time waiting for someone else to "become." But becoming takes time, experiences, and the willingness to do so. You cannot force another being to have the will to change. He is not going to be nicer to you, nor will he open up about his feelings. She is not going to gain a personality you are drawn to or gain the sense of humor you enjoy. Those people you so desperately want to feel closer to and be embraced by? They will not become warmer or more inviting. Please, do yourself a favor, stop trying to change anyone other than yourself. It is not going to happen. Accept that this is a fragment of the blue of distance. You are who you are because of everything you have ever experienced. Your changes are not done in the same manner as others. Understand that you are also a being that others will want to change to better fit their desires and needs. Don't dwell on this and just "be."
It all comes down to this: either accept the people in your life and embrace them as they are and for what they have and will become or release your clumsy grasp on them and bid them farewell. There is not enough time.

As September approaches, the leaves slowly start to turn vivid oranges, yellows, and reds, your acquaintances and friends you never had time to meet up with during the summer months ask you THAT question.
"So, how was your summer?" and you pause for a split second, and reply, "It was good! How was yours?" Your friend replies, "It was good!"
If you asked me how my summer was, there is a 99 percent probability I would tell you it was awesome, it was busy, it was fun, it was…good.
But should I be okay with a dismal, non-informative response? Should you be content with my generic replies that lack depth, godliness, or thankfulness?
The answer is, No.
"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching"- Hebrews 10:24-25
It is our responsibility to guide and move our fellow brothers and sisters towards a vertical relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. This is all the more important as we wait in anticipation for the second coming of our Lord and Saviour. We must strive to encourage one another through fellowship and corporate prayer. It means asking those tough and often embarrassing questions like "what was the last portion of Scripture you read and what did God speak to you through it?"
It also means you and I need to be prepared to answer those tough questions when they come our way. We may blush, or stutter at giving an answer, but that's what makes it a humbling experience. Guilt overcomes us when somebody else comes to know we are "casual" readers of the Bible, and our responses to those questions will give a key indication of whether or not we are willing to accept rebuking from a brother or sister in Christ.
If we start asking Christ-centered questions to one another, our relationships will catapult us to a new level of godliness. We may come to know a person is struggling with disappointment, and this may prompt us through the work of the Holy Spirit in us, to meet with them over a cup of coffee later in the week. Praying with them, consoling them, and perhaps even shedding a few tears with them. Our relationships will continue to swell up with acts of servant hood to one another. This is one of the many ways we can serve Christ, and strive to live a life that revolves around our Lord and Saviour.
So let us all creatively look for ways to encourage, stir, and spur one another in our walk with the Lord.

High unemployment and the foreclosure crisis have gripped the nation's economy. Many people in Ohio have sought relief under the bankruptcy code to put a halt to home foreclosures and seizures. In some cases, filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy is sufficient for those who qualify under the "means test" to not only stop the foreclosure process, but place a distressed homeowner in a financial position to be able to remain current on the mortgage and keep the home.
The discharge of unsecured debt, such as credit cards and medical bills, may allow a person to have enough monthly funds to service their mortgage. The difficulty is many homeowners wait an extended period of time after becoming distressed, and are too far behind to catch up under chapter 7 due to the limitations on exempt assets allowed.
Many individuals choose to stop foreclosure through chapter 13 bankruptcy. An Ohio bankruptcy attorney can assess an individual's asset and debt structure to create a three-to-five-year payment plan to allow the working individual to become current on the home mortgage payment over time.
Certain debts, like student loans, mortgages and back taxes are given priority in a chapter 13 bankruptcy. Unsecured debts, such as credit card debt and medical bills, are given less priority in a chapter 13 payment plan, and a portion of the remaining debt can be discharged at the conclusion of the payment plan.
Timing is important for individuals. Many distressed homeowners wait until the foreclosure is imminent. Filing for bankruptcy will halt the foreclosure, but early action may help to preserve more assets.
Many experts believe that speaking to a qualified counselor or bankruptcy attorney in the early stages of distress to determine the best route. Bankruptcy is not for everyone; loan modifications and other types of debt negotiation at the early stages may be better options for some distressed consumers. It is important to obtain the sound information from a professional in achieving the best outcome.

5 Usability Techniques Learned at Webstock
For New Zealand techies, February means Webstock, a good conference. Like last year's conference, it was very insightful with speakers as diverse as Scott McCloud (Cartoonist and author of Understanding Comics), Marco Arment (co-founder of Tumblr), and Amanda Palmer (artist, singer). But today, I'll tell you what I learned from Christine Perfetti's talk. She is the former VP & Managing Director at User Interface Engineering and now CEO of Perfetti Media, a Boston based Usability training and consulting firm.
1- Five Second Page Test
This is a simple and quick technique to measure effectiveness of a web page. It tells you if the page is clear and concise. By saying so, forget this technique if you want to assess your homepage. How you run it? Pick a page where there is one goal and show that page, during 5 seconds, to your user. Ask him to write down every pieces of content he sees. Then, ask him to mark what was the most important thing on the page. You should get a pretty good idea if your page communicates what it has to.
2- Comprehension Test
This technique should be used on websites/applications that have a lot of complex information (and needs to have that info… because otherwise, remove half of the content). For example, procedures and policies could be good candidates. Give the user some time to read the content and then ask few comprehension questions. Again, it's shouldn't be used to assess a homepage. By using this technique you can assess if your user understand the complex information within your website/application, is your content understandable?
3- First Click Test
Simple technique to assess if the user is going on the right path, is the wording is clear and if the visual convey the right scent of information. It could be done on your homepage. For example, on a bank's site, you can ask "Where would you find your nearest bank's branch from where you are now?" It can be done remotely with tools such as Chalkmark (from Optimal Workshop).
4- Inherent Value Testing
You need to recruit loyal users who will give you a walk-through of your site. You will ask him to list content/feature he finds of good value. Then, recruit a new user and let him browse the website and/or give him some tasks. Find out what content/feature is of good value and compare with what came from your loyal users.
I have never heard about this technique, but I really want to try it soon.
5- Catalog based test
You can try this technique to discover what piece of information is important to your users. You need to print or grab a physical brochure of a product, let say a credit card, and ask to review the content and to highlight the content that is important for him. In this example, the user might highlight credit card interest rate and any reward system. After completing this first exercise, ask him to find the same content on your website, does he find it? Outcomes: you will know what is important for the user and if he can find it by browsing your website or prototype.
This one as well, I have never heard about before, but I really want to try it soon.
Thanks Ms Perfetti for this talk,
Have you ever tried one of these techniques? Pros? Cons?
One Response to "5 Usability Techniques Learned at Webstock"
I run several weeitsbs for Charities and I would like to move away from Word Press. I don't need blogging features, just a newer less confusing CMS with great in line editor, easy menu structure editing and the ability to easily add features, which Word Press can do. I am open to either Open Source or Paid for CMS's. A friend suggested Concrete5 but it seems to have a low user base, and fairly basic looking weeitsbs. Many thanks

First thing I read this morning is about my BIG God who is the God of small things too! So, no wonder it's a prologue of what's going to happen the whole day. I tend to be NEGA (major, major) and I am trying to swing that around and be more positive, not to be stressed with small things.
Anyway, I WON, I WON at Scrappers AT SG's Challenge #36. Thank you so much Beband and her hubby, Benjo for picking my layout. The layout, Shine, is my everyday affirmation. It's now pinned on my wall and will be there forever. Hehehe. When I am down, I know this will motivate me to be better and to know that God is just by my side, cheering me on.
And, I didn't get any stressful emails from my boss. That's a huge blessing for me. The moment I wake up, that's the first thing that comes to my mind. If I have the dreaded email or will my day be awesome because there's none. My boss is not an ogre, he's actually quite nice. But, it's so hard to please someone far, far away. Hahaha.
Anyway, writing this made me affirm that I have to let go of those negative thoughts. And, I know the solution to that. PRAY. *wink*

Fionola Meredith: Building more cycle lanes no way to reduce traffic chaos, it will just make things worse
For Fionola Meredith, the car will always trump the bike, and she's not afraid to say so
I have a terrible confession to make. I love my car, and I love driving it. It's a little black Alfa Romeo, a real beauty. The way it nips and weaves, purrs and roars - these are all things that give me great pleasure. Yes, I'm basically Jeremy Clarkson with lipstick.
But it's becoming less and less socially acceptable to speak in praise of driving, or to talk about how much you like certain cars. A vocal pro-cycling lobby, increasingly abetted by the authorities, is slowly brainwashing us into believing that getting on your bike is the morally superior, environmentally pure, infinitely more desirable way to get from A to B.
It seems that we are being trained to regard our cars as rather embarrassing encumbrances which, in a better, cleaner world we would be glad to renounce. We're learning to condemn ourselves as selfish and lazy simply for driving them.
At least, that's the only way I can account for the results of a new survey by Bike Life, "the UK's biggest assessment of cycling in cities".
It claims that four out of five people in Belfast - 81% - want more protected bike routes to make cycling safer, even when this could mean less space for other road traffic.
This is despite the fact that only 5% of Belfast residents usually cycle to and from work. Some of them will be walking or getting the bus, which is fine, but we know that a heck of a lot drive their cars into the city every day.
So why would they say they support a system that actually cuts down on space for cars to drive?
I suspect it's because they think they should. It's the 'right', morally correct thing to say: cars are bad, bikes are good. And, of course, we'd all like cyclists to be safer, wouldn't we?
Another finding from the 1,100 people surveyed in Belfast is that 65% say they would cycle more if segregated on-road cycle routes - where cyclists are protected from other traffic by kerbs and bollards - were created.
Yes, I'm sure they would aspire to that for the good of their health or the planet in much the same way I aspire to spreading less butter on my toast - nice idea, but it ain't necessarily going to happen.
Look at our cold, grey, rain-soaked climate. On a dark, sleety morning in February are you really going to deny yourself the relative warmth of the car or bus and embrace the face-freezing misery of biking it to work instead?
And then there's the enormous cost of remodelling the road system of the entire city in order to accommodate the needs of cyclists. Can we afford the investment?
Sustrans, the walking and cycling charity that produced Belfast Bike Life 2017, in partnership with the Department for Infrastructure - there's that official imprimatur I was talking about - is calling for £25 a head in Belfast to make the plan a reality.
That works out at about £8.75m, according to an impromptu sum by William Crawley, who led a discussion about this issue on Radio Ulster's Talkback programme.
Let's just say that implementing the scheme would mean taking a very large and costly punt on the promises of those people who claim they definitely would cycle if only there was a proper system in place.
Unlike some cycling refuseniks, I'm not advocating the removal of our existing cycle lanes, which could definitely do with improvement. In my view Belfast is a very dangerous city to be a cyclist. I'm just not convinced we can justify a total overhaul in favour of the bike over the car.
Obviously, cycling is better for your body than passively sitting at the wheel.
Sustrans quotes Mary Black of the Public Health Agency, who says: "Being more physically active can reduce your risk of developing chronic conditions, including heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, respiratory conditions and dementia.
"It also improves sleep, helps maintain a healthy weight and reduces stress and anxiety."
Undeniably true, Mary, but not if you find yourself and your bike squished beneath the wheels of a van.
I'd stick to the (relative) safety of the car if I were you.
And then there's the law of unintended consequences. If you slash away at the remaining space left for cars to drive in - already substantially eroded by bus lanes - aren't you at risk of creating more congestion, not less? Longer queues of stationary traffic belching out more fumes?
For me the wicked, beautiful car will always win over the bike. And I refuse to be shamed for saying so.

A talented woodworker, he enjoyed country music, western movies, and history. He was well-known for his incredible work ethic, his sense of humor and his friendly manner. Above all, he did everything he could to make wonderful memories for his family.
In addition to his wife, he is survived by three daughters, Atty. Beverley A. Griffin-Dunne, a member of the Peabody School Committee, and her husband Robert of Peabody, Maryann W. Griffin of Augusta, Maine, and Patricia A. Zalewski and her husband Steven of Peabody; two sons, Richard D. Griffin Jr. of Naples, Maine and Michael J. Griffin and his wife Jana of Middleton, Mass. He was beloved "Buppa" to his seven grandchildren, Brian, Maureen, MaryCatherine and Sarah Dunne, Cheyenne and Thomas Zalewski, and Nora Griffin. He was also survived by his brother, Joseph Griffin and his wife Evelyn of Peabody; his sister Ruth Bonfanti of Gloucester, Mass., as well as his sisters-in-law, brothers-in-laws, numerous nieces and nephews and all their families; and by his many friends. He also leaves his well-loved dog, Seamus. He was the brother of the late George "Mickey" Griffin, Edith Griffin-Fournier, Florence Pouliout, Marguerite Joyce and Patricia Lawrence.
Richard's Memorial Mass was held on Friday, Nov. 6, at 11 a.m., in St. John the Baptist Church, 17 Chestnut St., Peabody, Mass. Burial followed in Cedar Grove Cemetery, Peabody.

The picture of evil
I detest these things. I have no idea how long they've been around, but I had my first child 13 years ago, and they were just as evil then. You think they could improve these somehow. When Maria was born, I spent 23 hours fighting with the nurses over the fetal monitors. They would only work if I was perfectly still and laying nearly flat. Every time I tried to reposition myself, or shift my legs, or BREATHE, they would lose her heartrate and some nurse would come in a gripe at me to be still. For 23 hours. Of active, pitocin-induced labor. Evil. And that memory of being strapped into a bed for 23 hours was probably my main motivation for seeking out homebirth information for my next pregnancy.
Well, the other night I got to revisit the fetal monitors. After my last post, my blood pressure zoomed on up to 220/120, and we ended up in the ER of a local maternity hospital. I was attached to the monitors for just three hours this time, which might not have been so bad in an actual bed, but since it was an ER I was on a gurney. It was so, so uncomfortable and my back is still feeling it. Why oh why can't they come up with something that works better than this?
Anyway, gripe over. The rest of that story is that once I got to the ER, even though my blood pressure had been rising at the midwife's office and high at home all weekend, it was normal when I got to the hospital and stayed normal...better than normal, in fact. When I left, it was 116/68! I thought maybe it was the herbal stuff the midwife prescribed kicking in, but I haven't taken it since...I've just been monitoring my blood pressure to see what happens first...and it has stayed down. I do believe we've had a mini-miracle. Heaven knows (literally!) that I had plenty of good people praying for me. Here's hoping for an uneventful next few weeks!

Melanie- I am so glad you are back to normal, dear friend. Please call me next time! I would be happy to help anytime you need me. I mean it. You and little sweet pea are in my prayers.:) Lori
- Tiny Actions said...
Mel-My prayers are with you as you get towards the end of this pregnancy that you and the little honeybee stay healthy. And gripe all you want about those evil contraptions. I totally agree with you about how uncomfortable they are. Why they don't invent something that is wireless in today's day and age is beyond me. It seems so archaic to wrap a woman who is pregnant and in active labor in not one, but two pieces of elastic around her overstretched belly!
- Kelly said...
Oh Melanie - that gives me a heart attack to read! That is a HIGH number! I'm glad you are watching it carefully at home, and I'm glad you've had a miracle [ not a mini-miracle either - if your BP had stayed that high it would be extremely life threatening for you and the baby!].
Take care of you! :)

The best features of Canada's Pavilion Lake are below the surface: The floor hosts a rare type of freshwater coral that mimics some of the first life that ever formed on this planet. Cameroon's Lake Nyos caused one of the largest unusual natural disasters in recorded history when blew up without warning. (It's safe to see now.) One part in three of the Dead Sea is salt, which means you can float on its surface.

Half the fun of value investing is the detective work and the intellectual challenge (the other half being the warm glow of making money!) but sometimes The Hinterland has to just kick back and ride someone else's investment thesis.
Here Whitney Tilson outlines his valuation method of Berkshire Hathaway, which is actually based Buffett's own valuation method outlined in his 1997 annual letter.
In a nutshell, the intrinsic value of of Berkshire "A" is $194,000 per share and likely to reach $214,000 per share in 2014. As it is selling at $173,000 today The Hinterland is convinced and has invested in a major way, making Berkshire 38% of its portfolio.
It feels good to own a company who's major problem each year is how to invest the tens of billions of dollars it throws off each year, which is run by the best capital allocator in history who is grooming two excellent apprentices ("Tod'n'Ted") who are already outperforming the master.
The Hinterland is long Berkshire Hathaway.

Higher education in Pakistan
June 23: Higher education in Pakistan is facing many challenges which include the total number of universities, enrolment of students, gender based equity, quality of teaching and research, institutional governance, curriculum and violence in institutions.
The total number of universities and degree awarding institutions in both public and private sectors is 130 for the population size of 170 million which is quite less than required. Although, the preceding government had established many new institutions, yet the need is not satisfied and every district should at least have one university. There are many districts in Pakistan where no higher education institution is available and many students who cannot afford to go to other places abandon their studies due to unavailability of universities in their home districts.
In addition, the number of students in the higher education sector is very low. There are only a little more than 700,000 students with less than 4 percent of the total population. Though enrolment of females in the universities has increased to 10 percent, yet it is alarmingly at a very low level. Only 400,000 female students were enrolled against a population of 86 million women according to mid 2009 estimates. The poor representation of the 51 percent population of the nation in higher education demands emergent steps to rectify the situation.
Furthermore the quality of our existing institutions in terms of teaching and research cannot be compared with the rest of the developing world, let alone the developed world. The quality of research is even worse than our teaching standard. It is a common practice in our universities to carry out fake research based on trivial results and sometimes on plagiarism. The biggest fault of our research is its non-linkage with social and societal system without which our society cannot get benefit from the efforts of our research, even if it is a genuine and scholarly work.
Another challenge is that the government and funding agencies as they sometimes dictate the institutions which makes them less productive. Moreover the universities are administered in a bureaucratic leadership style which does not provide enough space for the people to participate with vigour and enthusiasm that leads to dissatisfaction in among faculty members and students. The overall environment is not at all progressive. There is no second opinion that a liberal environment is a prerequisite if we want our system to be productive.
Finally, a very important aspect of our university life is the violence and unrest caused by our students. The biggest cause of this nonsense phenomenon is incessant interference of political parties in our institutions for the sake of their political gains. The government should take concrete steps to eradicate all sort of political interference in our institutions, be it from radical and conservative religious groups or from liberal and progressive political parties. The higher education institutions are for education only and these should not be the battlegrounds of political conflicts. Any political party, which has a student wing functional in universities, must be advised to avoid such practices through legal and constitutional bindings.

Teachers await promised incentives
Islamabad: Lack of will in bureaucracy and the procedural delays have marred the introduction of new service structure for teaching staff in the Federal Capital, an initiative (taken by the teaching community) to restore teachers' morale and self-esteem.
There has been no specific policy with regard to promotion of teachers at 435 schools of the Capital while all the provincial governments have announced special packages for the teaching community. In Punjab, new service structure for schoolteachers was introduced in September 2007 while NWFP government upgraded their teaching posts in October in the same year while Balochistan and AJK governments elevated the status of schoolteachers in 2008.
In Pakistan Metric Trained Teacher (MTT) are kept in BPS-09 and Trained Undergraduate Teacher (TUGT) are given BPS-14. The emoluments of the primary teacher hardly offers a worthwhile incentive for performing at the optimum level," lamented a teacher. The introduction of new service structure for teaching staff in educational institution situated in the capital was approved on August 21, 2007 by the government.
According to the proposal the minimum qualification of primary teachers will be B.A/B.Sc. with preference for B.Ed. They may be placed in BS-16 and re-designated as Junior Lady Teachers. Similarly, minimum qualification for teachers at secondary level was decided to be M.A/M.Sc. They may be redesignated as Lecturers and placed in BS-17.
Earlier, the case for the up-gradation of the posts of teaching staff was referred to the Finance Division for their concurrence but the Finance Division referred it to the Establishment Division. Education Ministry had proposed the implementation of the new service structure for the teachers from July 1 but due to the delaying tactics by the officials of the ministries the decision was not implemented.
As the teaching posts in ICT institutions are in low grades, the candidates from Sindh, Balochistan and even from NWFP do not find any attraction in these posts due to which provincial quota posts of these provinces mostly remain vacant for years.

QAU VC, HEC served notices in academic's promotion case
Islamabad: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) has issued notices to Vice Chancellor (VC) Quaid-i-Azam University and Higher Education Commission (HEC) in a writ petition filed by an Assistant Professor of the university regarding his promotion.
Justice Raja Saeed Akram directed the respondents to file their para wise comments within two weeks and adjourned the hearing.
As per details, the petitioner Dr Syed Anwar Iqbal, Assistant Professor of Anthropology department of the university moved the court through his counsel Advocate Mushtaq Hussain and made Quaid-i-Azam University through its Vice Chancellor and Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan through its chairman respondents in the case.
In his petition, Dr Syed Anwar stated that he applied for the post of associate professor of Anthropology at the university in response to an advertisement in national media and according to procedure a departmental committee was constituted which was responsible to scrutinize the applicants' dossier.
He added that after the scrutiny, the dossier was sent to the dean Faculty of Social Sciences for his remarks but the then Dean Prof Zafar Iqbal Cheema instead of participating in scrutiny went on leave for a few days and passed on this file to Prof Naveed-i-Rahat as an acting dean who wrote very negative and pessimistic remarks and disqualified the applicant on age of previous ten years long personal based enmity of Dr Naveed-i-Rahat with the petitioner.
Dr Anwar continued that when this dossier reached the VC, he was shocked to notice Dr Naveed's participation in this scrutiny procedure and sent his dossier to foreign experts.
He informed the court that later, the selection board, in view of foreign experts' reports and his vast experience in the field of Anthropology, selected him as associate professor.
He further added that the syndicate of the university deferred his selection with the comments to have a review on his validity of score of publications.
He prayed in his petition that respondents No 2 be directed to submit his judicious comments on the petitioner's publication in the light of comments received from international experts.
He further prayed that respondents No 1 may be directed to approve his promotion on the basis of report of selection board with all back benefits. The Nation

Sorry I have been out of touch for several days. We (Tam, the public health director, and I) had to fly to Nairobi in order to straighten out our applications for work permits. It took two days, but we have gotten them submitted! It took two full days, two visits to NyayoHouse which contains the Immigration Department, and the services of Wangari to get it done. Wangari also got my work permit, and a slightly bent clerk in Immigration extended my visa all the way to November.
Wangari (she tells us the name means Daughter of the Leopard) is Henry's wife, and of the two I think she does all the actual work for us. She is educated, fluent in English, Swahili, and Kikuyu, her mother tongue, and a charming and cheerful lady. Henry has another job managing a drilling rig which apparently digs wells for water. Together, they have a vision of improving water and sanitation for rural Kenyans by drilling wells as sources of clean water and building good latrines for private and clean ways to take care of the calls of nature.
While in Nairobi we stay at the Flora Hostel, a lovely Catholic Guesthouse for travelers from all over the world. The price includes three meals a day (If you can get here during the thirty minute window for each meal), free wi-fi when it is working, and hot showers in the morning. And while there are mosquitoes here, there are no lake flies so it is possible to leave the lights on and work in the evening, or to read in bed. This is real luxury for us. Also, their grounds are filled with lovely gardens and plants, with manicured lawns and groupings of potted plants. I am getting ideas for plants in the ex-pat housing areas of the Matoso compound.
We met another American here, an anthropology graduate student at Michigan State doing research into the diversity and "intersectionality" of Information Technology workers here. He explained that intersectionality has to do with multiple group identities residing in a single individual. So someone could be an IT worker, for example, and a member of the ruling class, and that intersection might have profound influences on the government, especially if it is true for many in the IT field. Like Tam, he is a returned Peace Corps Volunteer and truly loves Kenya. He stays at the Flora for weeks at a time.
The big city is like cities everywhere, with pockets of horrible traffic and diesel exhaust, and lovely suburbs with huge houses or apartment buildings behind big walls and hedges. The sprawling slums, among the largest in the world, were pointed out to us as notable landmarks. I have managed to buy some of the medical supplies I wanted, including tourniquets, a Doppler for fetal heart tones, and a couple of thermometers for the lab. And I have managed NOT to buy, so far, any crafts or fabrics or scarves/wraps. I am trying to save my tourist dollars to buy crafts closer to home, at the Ochuna Craft Cooperative for instance. Ochuna Craft Coop Facebook Page And so far I gave only 100 shillings (about one dollar) each to two charming con-men—I am quite proud of this because I am such an easy mark.
Nairobi seems quite safe as long as one is reasonably alert. We are warned of robberies and to be careful with our cell phones when out on the street, and we don't go out alone at night. People who know the city and the country feel that conditions are quite different than those that led to violence after the 2007/2008 elections. People are preparing for trouble, but are hoping there is little.

At CESS, all information participants get during our studies is true. This implies:
- We never deceive participants. For example, if we inform you that another participant is making a choice on which you then can react, this is indeed the case.
- We keep our promises made to participants. For example, if we promise a certain payment, participants will indeed receive it.
- In the event that we are responsible for a mistake that is to the disadvantage of participants, we will inform and compensate the respective participants.
- We design, conduct and report our research in accordance with recognized scientific standards and ethical principles.
We adhere to the terms of our privacy policy as stated below.
- The data in the participants' database will only be used to conduct experiments at CESS. The data will never be given to third parties.
- There is no direct link between the personal data in the participants database and the data collected during a study.
- Every participant can decide at any moment to unsubscribe from the participants database. Unsubscribing from the database implies that no further invitations to our studies are sent to that person.
- The data generated during experiments is anonymous and is used to write scientific articles and to give presentations. We provide links to working and published papers for research done at CESS on the main CESS website.
Data Integrity
» All experimental data that is generated at CESS is subject to careful oversight by CESS managers – this includes lab, online, lab-in-the-field and field data. We guarantee the authenticity and integrity of any data that results from experiments conducted at CESS facilities.
» In the experimental lab our data oversight policy is the following:
- final programming of all experiments is conducted by CESS lab managers;
- results from experiments are initially compiled on CESS servers;
- these are then made available to PIs;
- these data plus proper documentation that includes the experimental protocols are archived at CESS;
- these data and protocols can be make available, in form that protects the identify of all subjects, to appropriate third parties that include the PIs of course but also Editors and funding agencies.
» Implementation of lab-in-the-field experiments by CESS follows the same protocol as for CESS conventional lab experiments. Data generation is subject to the same oversight and archiving policies.
» The data oversight policy for online experiments is very similar to the lab experiments:
- the data generation is subject to oversight by CESS online experiment managers;
- final programming of all online experiments is conducted by CESS managers on CESS servers;
- subject recruitment is managed by CESS;
- results from online experiments are initially compiled by CESS personnel on CESS servers;
- these data are then made available to PIs;
- these data plus proper documentation that includes experimental protocols and coding are archived at CESS;
- these data and protocols can be made available, in a form that protects the identify of all subjects, to appropriate third parties that include the PIs of course but also journal editors and funding agencies.
» CESS policy is to recommend to all PIs that they make their anonymized data, along with proper documentation, available to the public within 12 months, if not earlier.
» Maintaining data integrity in Randomized Control Trials/Field Experiments poses somewhat different challenges. Nevertheless CESS is committed to overseeing such data integrity for RCT/Field Experiments conducted under its auspices:
- RCTs/Field Experiments conducted under the auspices of CESS are also subject to strict CESS oversight. This includes of course the design phase but also the implementation of the field experiment and the compilation of resulting data.
- These final data are made available to PIs but also archived on CESS servers with appropriate documentation and are made available to appropriate third parties such as journal editors and funding agencies.

The one main issue WWE has been dealing with for the past couple of years is how to get Roman Reigns over with all WWE fans. His rise to the top is thanks to a major push backstage, and at the start, fans were essentially told to deal with it.
However, over time, some fans have started to accept The Big Dog as the new face of the WWE, but not all. There is still a notable amount of fans that still boo Reigns whenever he makes an appearance for the WWE on TV.
Chris Jericho is one of the greatest WWE superstars of all time, so if anyone knows how to get over with the crowd, either as a face or as a heel, it's him. He recently spoke to Chris Van Vliet, via Cageside Seats, about what WWE needs to do with Reigns.
Y2J said: "He's like a modern day John Cena. For years, fans just boo Cena because they think it's the cool thing to do but not paying any attention to what he's really doing. That's what Roman is now. They just see Roman and instantly start booing because it's the in thing rather than just shutting up and watching this guy for what he is which is a great performer. And that will come.
"Obviously maybe if he turned heel... but if he turned heel, all the people that booed him would start cheering him, you know what I mean? So, I think it's just a matter of time, staying the course. He needs some good, good heels to work with, heels that want to be heels, or can be heels.
"A guy like Samoa Joe, I mean, he's a big, tough ass kicker who is a great promo. He looks tough. What's to hate? What's the heel about Samoa Joe? I'm not saying that in a bad way but dude, I loved Samoa Joe before I ever met him because I just like... that guy he kicks people's asses.
"I like that. It's like Brock Lesnar -- how can you ever cast Brock Lesnar as a heel? He's a big, giant, ugly guy who beats the hell out of guys and wins all the time. What's to hate about that?"
Jericho continued: "Honestly, if it was me as a heel, I could get it over. Maybe Miz, like those type of heels. I don't know if people would buy The Miz in that place, though. But you need some kind of a real crybaby cowardly heel against Roman Reigns."
Jericho even had a crazy idea for him and Reigns that he pitched to Vince McMahon if they ever got into a feud against one another, and it involved a fireball.
"I had an idea that I wanted to do that I pitched to Vince: I wanted to throw a fireball in his eyes and blind him. An old school Memphis idea, yeah. But we never did it. But something like that, maybe, would help."
A real proper heel that would be the bad guy to Reigns' good guy would be perfect to help The Big Dog get over with all WWE fans. While Joe is a great heel, he's a solid fan favourite, so everyone loves him and will be hoping he can beat Reigns, rather than it being the other way around. A crybaby cowardly heel is needed to get The Big Dog over with everyone as a babyface.

There's a reason people love sports the way they do. The drama, the heartache, the thrill of victory and of course, seeing history unfold. Last night, the Cubs defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6-1. Sure, the game doesn't really matter much the Cubs are in but they are vying to be host of the National League Wild Card matchup on Wednesday.
Then there's Jake Arrieta. That pitcher who came out of nowhere this year to thrill and excite fans across North America and beyond. With last night's victory, Arrieta may have put to rest any decisions regarding a Cy Young winner. Right now, Mr. Arrieta is the best pitcher post All Star Game in history. His ERA is 0.75. He has 22 victories. He is incredible.
This year, the Cubs record is currently 95-65
"Tremendous," Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. "Watching from the side you could see the explosive stuff. If that did not clinch his award I don't know what would. That had to be the clincher. Another quality start, a dominating performance. For me, that should put the icing on the cake right there."
The Cubs are still two back of the Pirates. That chances are unlikely that they'll be hosting the Wild Card game after the Pirates came from behind to beat the Reds 6-4. Pittsburgh will have to lose two in a row and the Cubs will have to win.
This is an historic season for the Cubs. It's fitting that Arrieta will lead his teammates against the Pirates on Wednesday. Has all this success changed him?
"Before I get to the field, I've got to be Dad," Arrieta said. "We just got back from doing a little shopping. The kids need jackets. It's getting a little cold. Summer's gone up here in this part of the country. Had to get some stuff to keep the kids warm. "I want to be the same guy every day, regardless of what's going on off the field, on the field, show up and be consistent for my teammates, both in my performance and just being a good person. I think those kinds of things that you take serious in your life off the field carry over on the field. That's the only way I know how to do it."

Is there a way to mark or hide individual submissions from displaying on the Grid List, for example a form that has been returned to the submitter for editing and I don't want it to show until it is final.

Unfortunately, we don't have that settings when creating Grid Listing Reports. You can only limit what fields to show or hide.
With regards on editing the values in submissions, yes, that is possible. Just access your Form Submission page, find the submissions you want to edit from the grid list below, then click "Edit".
