Gardening in the sky is not a novel idea. As far back as 500 BC, the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar ordered the construction of urban hanging gardens to please his wife, saddened when she was separated from the plants of her homeland.
Today, many urban dwellers choose to incorporate adjacent rooftops into their living spaces. Here, on these very desirable roofs, terraces, and balconies, they create lush outdoor gardens that enhance the quality of their lives by adding a natural balance to city living.
High above the bustle of densely populated areas, urbanites living in these privileged spaces are able to experience air that seems purer, a sense of freedom and privacy, brighter daylight, infinitely more sunlight, and closeness to nature that is often associated with mountaintop experiences. At these heights, people are more likely to be aware of the ever-changing shapes of clouds, the colorful drama of sunrises and sunsets, and the majesty of thunderstorms.
With strategic planning, apartment dwellers that are fortunate enough to include a rooftop into their living quarters, a concept sometimes known as a penthouse, can enjoy many of the benefits of a garden. However, the approach to achieving a quality outdoor life, high above a densely populated urban area, requires an approach different from that used to create a bucolic retreat in a back yard or on an estate.
A rooftop garden design must take into consideration building and zoning regulations, structural integrity of the apartment building, irrigation and waterproofing, physical access for both enjoyment and maintenance and weather elements that are harsher at great heights than they are at street level.
In this very practical mass-market publication, the author offers a variety of inspiring design ideas that meet the needs of most aspiring rooftop gardeners. Readers will learn how to plan a design for a multipurpose outdoor space that takes into consideration one's needs for entertaining, relaxation, play, and contemplation.
The author has also includes suggestions for furniture, containers, ornamentation, lighting, water features, and the selection of plants. Readers will be guided into choosing vegetation, not only for beauty, but also for privacy, shade, accents, visual background filler, and for growing food. The plant recommendations are influenced by the ability of certain vegetation to withstand the exposed, harsh conditions associated with windy, sun drenched rooftop gardens.
Michele Osborne graduated from the Sorbonne in Paris as a linguist before moving to England. There, her passion for art and architecture inspired her to become a landscape designer. Working privately and with developers and architects, she has completed projects both in England and abroad.
Designing many roof terraces in London's East End and Docklands allowed her to discover views of the city, which she found so exhilarating that she decided to abandon her Victorian terraced house in favour of a converted telephone exchange, where she could build her own roof garden. She is a winner of the prestigious Guardian's Britannia Homebuilder's Award for "Best Landscaping" and her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Garden History in London.

04 Mar Maximum Satisfaction Meets Maximum Contribution
Maximum Satisfaction Meets Maximum Contribution
This video is an excellent example of what it "really means to engage your employees through the "X Model". The key component of this demonstration is that it takes a combined effort from Seniors Leaders, Managers, and the Employees to accomplish this critical component of organizational growth. A company in order to elevate themselves must engage their employees.
The 'X' Model of Employee Engagement
On the other side the employees have to want to be engaged. They must feel like they are a part of the structure and feel valued within the scope of their individual job, and when working as a team to meet organizational goals. In order to do so they have to communicate and evaluate themselves in order to take appropriate action towards increasing opportunities within the scope of personal and professional growth.
Managers and Senior Leaders have a key function in this process as well. These eight aspects as discussed are critical to moving forward as an organization and being able to establish differentiation between themselves and competitors regardless of the industry. Having an abundance of Veterans who are involved in this process is key as well, as they possess the fundamental values that are critical in the area of globalization as a way of life that we are operating under in the majority of organizations around the world.
- Coach- Allow employees to learn and give feedback as appropriate to keep them on track.
- Align– Give clear direction through communication towards individual and company goals.
- Recognize– Give positive feedback as appropriate and when warranted.
- Engage– Become involved in the process as well (do not sit on the sidelines without encouraging growth).
- Community– Help instill the team concept in all employees.
- Authentic– Be real and true to what the company values are.
- Significance– Make differences that really matter in the lives of your employees.
- Excitement– Bring the highest level of passion and enthusiasm on a consistent basis to everyone that you encounter throughout the day.

30 November 2012 - The widespread availability of potent combination anti-HIV therapy (commonly called ART or HAART)
has greatly decreased deaths from AIDS-related complications in Canada and other high-income countries. The benefits of ART are so
profound that doctors estimate that a 20-year-old diagnosed with HIV today who takes his or her medicine exactly as prescribed
and who does not have other pre-existing health issues will likely have a near-normal life expectancy.
Unfortunately, not all HIV-positive people in Canada are benefitting from ART in a timely manner. According to the Public Health
Agency of Canada, researchers estimate that about 25% of 71,300 HIV-positive people alive in Canada today are not aware of their
HIV status. Moreover, a large fraction of such people, because they are unaware of their HIV status, only receives care and
treatment when their immune systems are very weak.
There are many disadvantages, at both a personal and societal level, to a late HIV diagnosis, including the following:
Routine HIV testing is recommended in Canada in cases of pregnancy and blood donations. Otherwise, HIV testing is primarily done
in people who are at or are perceived to be at high risk for this infection. In an editorial for an upcoming issue of the Canadian
Medical Association Journal, Vancouver doctors Réka Gustafson and Julio Montaner note that risk-based testing is likely
to miss "a substantial proportion of [hidden HIV infections]."
Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health Care conducted a pilot project and found that 60% of HIV-positive people diagnosed
late in the course of infection had previously encountered the health care system, as they had at least one of the following
experiences three years prior to their diagnosis or since their last negative test:
Drs. Gustafson and Montaner note that according to recommendations in other high-income countries, such as France and the U.K.
and U.S., "these patients should have been offered an HIV test at these earlier encounters, without needing to raise or
acknowledge a specific risk." Moreover, public health authorities in these countries now encourage health care
professionals to offer HIV testing to a broad age range of people, from teenagers to senior citizens,
without taking into account risk factors.
As part of the Vancouver Coastal Health and Providence Health Care pilot project, hospital administrators recommend HIV testing "as
part of all medical admissions and emergency department visits," stated Gustafson and Montaner. Preliminary analysis of the pilot
project found that 43% of hospital doctors offered the test and 92% of participants consented to be tested for HIV. This project
uncovered six new cases of HIV infection per 1,000 tests. Other research has found that even one new case of HIV per 1,000
tests is cost effective. Based on the results from the pilot study, Dr. Gustafson, who is the Medical Health Officer for
Vancouver Coastal Health, now recommends offering routine screening for HIV in hospitals and doctors' offices.
In an upcoming issue of the Canadian Medical Association Journal , based on the success of the BC pilot study, Drs. Gustafson and Montaner
encourage other provinces and territories to "implement and evaluate routine HIV testing across Canada." Hopefully such testing will be
accompanied by supportive counselling both before and after testing.
This recommendation seeks to normalize HIV testing so that it is routinely done in hospitals and clinics so that undiagnosed cases
of HIV can be caught early. Such normalization can help reduce costs, improve personal health and reduce the transmission of HIV.

|Robert GRANT
1814 - 1892
|pictures supplied by the Science Photo Library
40, Hemingford Terrace,
5th January, 1854
My dear Sir,
In compliance with your request I have great pleasure in furnishing you with the following sketch of the progress of my studies from my boy-hood until now, so far as consists with my re-collection.
I commenced the study of Latin at the school of Grantown in the year 1824, being then ten years of age. As I was always fond of my lessons I continued to make very fair progress in the different branches of education. Towards the close of the year 1827 I was reading Virgil and Livy, and Mr Wink, my worthy teacher (who was subsequently Minister of Knockando and who died a few years ago) was beginning to talk about my being prepared for going to college in the ensuing Session of 1828 -9.
In the beginning of 1828, however, I unfortunately met with an accident from a fall, which bought on a long and serious illness and which completely interrupted my studies for several years. It was only in the Autumn of 1833 that I began to entertain some faint hopes of once more enjoying a moderate degree of health, although my constitution was irretrievably shattered. During the interval of almost six years which had elapsed from the commencement of my illness till this time, my life had been a complete blank. When I looked around me I found that several of my companions who used to be a good way behind me at school, had now well nigh completed their course of study at one or other of the Universities. Stimulated by this circumstance and finding that/
p2. that I was decidedly recovering a little, I began to feel a strong desire to peep into my former studies, but my constitution was so enfeebled and the state of my health was still so imperfect that at first I could read only a little at a time, and even then only for amusement.
On one occasion I happened to be in company with two of my old school friends - one of them a student at King's College, Aberdeen (my attached friend James Fraser, now Minister of Colvend Dumfriesshire) and the other a student of St. Andrews - when the conversation turned upon the course of study pursued at their respective colleges. I recollect well them talking about Conic Sections and I was very much puzzled to make out what the expression meant. I now felt a strong desire to obtain some acquaintance with Mathematics, more especially as in some book which I had read ( I think it is Watts on the Improvement of the Mind) the author earnestly recommends the study of Euclid as affording an excellent groundwork for mental discipline.
From one of my former school-fellows who was now studying Medicine I obtained a loan of a copy of Euclid. This was in October 1833. I was afraid to say to him that I knew nothing of the subject in case he might ridicule my presumption. But indeed, although a good sort of fellow, he had little expectation of profiting by his instruction even if I had explained my case to him. I have to this day a vivid recollection of the feeling of delight with which I carried home the so much coveted treasure.
p3 To my great gratification the first proposition offered no difficulty, but I was somewhat staggered by the apparently round about process employed in the second and third and although I found the demonstration of the fourth to be quite intelligible, yet from not sufficiently apprehending the true character of hypothetical reasoning, it left a very unsatisfactory impression on my mind. I therefore threw the book aside in the meantime.
In the winter of 1833-4 I used occasionally to assist Mr Wink in his school when my health would permit. At his suggestion I was induced to commence the study of Algebra, having obtained from him for that purpose the loan of Bonnycastle's small Treatise on the subject. I do not recollect whether on giving me the book he pointed out to me how I was to proceed, but at any rate on applying to him about a fortnight afterwards with the view of obtaining some assistance, I found he was unable to help me out of my difficulty, which related to the Binomial Theorem. being thus thrown back entirely upon my own resources, I succeeded by dint of a little perseverance in overcoming the obstacle which thus opposed my progress. Henceforward the subject offered no serious difficulty and I soon advanced as far as quadratic equations. Having read somewhere that the utility of Algebra consisted mainly in its application to geometry, I was lead again to consider the desirableness of studying Euclid. I therefore took up that work again with the intention of giving it another trial, and after some reflection on the subject, I effectually got rid of/
p4 of the misgivings which I formally experienced. This was in the beginning of December 1833. It was impossible to express in adequate terms the delight in which I now felt in studying the immortal production of the Greek Geometer. My progress was henceforth also uninterrupted and rapid. I recollect well having been occupied on Old Christmas-day in studying the fifth book, which afforded me peculiar gratification.
In the summer of 1834, my brother Alexander brought me down from London a copy of Ramsay's Edition of Hutton's Mathematics which had just been published. This work introduced me to several new branches of Mathematics which I studied one after the other without encountering any insuperable impediment. I also shortly afterwards obtained possession of Bland's Algebraical, and also his Geometrical Problems. These two works formed a subject of mental exercise which I constantly availed myself of in my outdoor peregrinations, for the state of my health which was still far from being re-established forbade any continued sedentary occupation. I may take this opportunity of stating that nine-tenths of the small progress I made in Mathematics and Astronomy before leaving the North, resulted from my reflections while walking through the beautiful woods and quiet sequestered glens in the immediate vicinity of my native village. In/
p5 In 1835 I obtained possession of the Treatise on Mechanics in Lardness Cyclopeadia, a little work which first gave me a taste for Physics - Mathematical enquiries. Soon afterwards I read the treatises on Mechanics and Hydrostatics in the Library of Useful Knowledge. I also studied attentively the short treatise on these subjects in Ramsays Hutton.
In the course of my studies I was mortified by the continual recurrence of scientific terms of Greek origin the etymology of which I was unable to comprehend. I therefore resolved to learn a little of the Greek language and procured for this purpose the Grammer of the Edinburgh Academy. Mr Wink read over the alphabet to me, but I obtained nothing further in the way of instruction from him. Indeed I had by this time become so thoroughly convinced by the results of my Mathematical pursuits that the progress of a student depends mainly on himself, and not on the tution he may receive, that I did not feel at all discouraged by commencing the study of the Greek language without the assistance of a teacher. By the summer of 1836 I had mastered the Collectanea Minora and in the following winter I read with attention the first six books of Homer and also a small portion of the Collectanes Majora. This was all that I desired.
The approaching apparition of Halleys Comet in 1835 awakened in me a strong desire to know something of Astronomy. I recollect the intense gratification I derived on looking/
p6 looking out towards the North one night about the middle of October and seeing the Comet for the first time. In order to assure myself beyond doubt that it was in reality the Comet, I directed the attention of my worthy father to the object, who, doubtless recollecting the great Comet of 1811, at once informed me its nature. I henceforward used to observe with great interest the more remarkable of celestial phenomena that are visible to the naked eye, such as solar and lunar eclipses, the direct and retrograde motions of the superior planets, especially Mars, and the alternative appearance of Venus as a morning and evening star. In the autumn of 1836 when the last mentioned planet was near its greatest elongation, I derived intense gratification from seeing the planet with the naked eye in the day time. So expert had my eye become in the performing of this feat that for several weeks about the time of the planets greatest brilliancy I could readily pick it out, when the sky was clear at any hour of the day except when it had descended low in the western horizon.
In the spring of 1836 I first became acquainted with Astronomy as a Science by means of the admirable little treatise of Sir John Herschel on the subject contained in the Cabinet Cyclopeadia. About this time also I read Hall's Differential Calculus and Simpson's Fluxions. In the Summer of this year I had for the first time in my hands a copy of Newton's Principia. I recollect well/
p7 well the feeling of awe with which I first looked into the pages of that immortal work. I obtained a loan of it from an old school fellow James McKenzie who received it in that year as the first prize of the Natural Philosophy Class at King's College, Aberdeen. McKenzie was a young man of sterling moral worth, and excellent abilities. He took the Huttonian in the following year, unfortunately he died a few years afterwards. I studied with great attention on the first three sections of the first book of the Principia, and considerable portions of the remaining sections, but I did not venture to attack the second or third book. Wright's Commentary was of great service to me, for having already obtained some acquaintance with Mechanics and the Differential and Integral Calculus I experienced very little difficulty in reading that work which introduced me for the first time to the immense subject of Analytical Mechanics. I soon afterwards obtained also Mosley's Hydrostatics from the study of which I derived great advantage. Henceforward the application of Mathematics to the doctrine of force was my favourite study, more especially those parts of the subject which bore upon Physical Astronomy.
Among the Mathematical books which I perused with great advantage I omitted to mention Wand's Treatise on Analytical Geometry and the Elementary Illustrations of the Differential and Integral Calculus contained in the Library of Useful Knowledge. I also obtained possession of a copy of Bland's Collection of Philosophical Problems which supplied me with an admirable field for mental exercise. In 1837 I commenced the study of/
p8 of the French Language in company with my friend McKenzie, having obtained for that purpose a set of French books from my brothers (Side notation... my father & uncle, signature = cfg.. must be written for Robert's nephew C. F. Grant?) in London.. We got on very well in making ourselves acquainted with the principles of the language and could soon translate a French book without any difficulty. In order to guard against a habit of bad pronounciation we used to spell the words in repeating our exercises to one another. In the following year we acquired a sufficient knowledge of Italian to be able to read a book in that language with sufficient ease.
Hitherto my studies were prosecuted merely for the purpose of affording a source of healthy pastime to the mind and not with any definite object in view, for the state of my health did not permit me to indulge in any more than a faint hope of ever acquiring sufficient strength to enable me to apply myself regularly to some fixed occupation. Since the beginning of 1836 I was in the habit of going everyday to an Infant school which my sister kept and assisting her for a few hours in her task. I continued to do so for about three years, when I repaired to London by the kind invitation of my brother Alexander ... (side notation...my father. signature = cfg)..who had commenced business in the City a few years previously. Occasional lectures on different branches of Science which I heard from time to time in London only served to increase a desire I had long felt of Acquiring some/
p9 some knowledge of experimental philosophy. I was also desirous of consolidating as it were my acquaintance with Greek and Latin in hopes of being able on some future occasion to turn my little knowledge of these languages to some practical account. On the other hand although I had now nearly recovered from my illness, yet as my weekly constitution seemed to be incapable of enduring the fatigues of a professional pursuit, a regular course of study at an University did not appear to be desirable. I therefore determined to attend for one session to King's College, Aberdeen, my brother Alexander kindly offering to pay all expenses. My objects were best attained by entering the third class, attending at the same time the Chemistry Class and the senior classes of Greek and Latin. I accordingly proceeded to Aberdeen and entered these classes at King's College in the Session of 1839-40. Considering that I was physically unfitted for much prolonged study I managed to get on tolerably well. The studies of the principles of heat, electricity and galvanism, and the experimental illustrations on those subjects, being all new to me, proved eminently instructive. Dr Fleming's Lectures were chiefly valuable for initiating me in habits of composition which I had hitherto entirely neglected. The attending of the Greek and Latin Classes was useful in renewing and extending my acquaintance with classical literature. At the close of the session I got the first prize in the Chemistry Class. and/
p10 and the last prize in the Natural Philosophy class. I was also in the order of merit in the Greek and Latin classes. If I remember rightly i stood rather high in the Greek List. I could not have attended the Mathematical class without sacrificing objects of greater importance. My cousin Patrick however who was then schoolmaster of Banchory ( now minister of Auchterderran in Fifeshire) gave me a letter if introduction to Professor Tulloch who kindly authorized me, after examining some of my manuscripts to make use of his name if necessary, for reference with respect to my Mathematical attainments. In the summer of 1840 I returned to London and after spending six months in a Boarding Establishment at Reading where I was occupied in teaching Mathematics, I entered my brother's Counting-house in which I remained for several years. When I was at Reading I received a visit form my much valued friend McKenzie who had come to London to see a brother off to Australia. This was the last occasion on which I saw him. He died in the following summer at Aberdeen while on his way to Edinburgh to obtain medical advice on account of an illness under which he was labouring.
From 1837 till 1842 I did very little to extend my acquaintance with mathematics or any of the Kindred Sciences. Whewells Dynamic's was the only new work which I recollect of reading during that period. In the summer of 1842, however, when/
p11 when walking along Fleet Street one evening after the hours of business, I happened to see at a book-stall a Copy of Airy's Tracts on the Lunar Theory and other subjects of Perturbation. Struck with the small compases into which the solutions of the different problems were condensed I was tempted to buy the book in hopes of being able to master its contents. To my great delight I succeeded in a very short time in accomplishing my object. I now definitively resumed my Mathematical and physical studies, devoting all my leasure time to such pursuits. About this time I read the seventeenth chapter of Prof. De Morgans Treatise on the Differential and Integral Calculus. I was gratified to find that henceforward no subject of Mechanic's or Physical Astronomy offered any serious obstacle to my progress, I now read Woodhouse's Physical Astronomy, Pratt's Mechanical Philosophy, O'Brien's Tracts, Poisson's Mechanics (the new Edition) Pontecoulants Theorie Analytigue du System du Monde, &c. &c. I also had no difficulty now in reading the second volume of Wright's Commentary on the Principia, which is in point of fact a literal translation of portions of the Mecanigue Celeste. (The first volume which related exclusively to the Principia I had read long previously while I was in Scotland) I now began to acquire a decided taste for researches into the history of the different branches of mathematics and Physical Science, which I mainly attribute to the reading of Whewells History of the Inductive Sciences. A study of this kind however could only be prosecuted/
p12 prosecuted successfully by having access to some large library. Being anxious to continue these pursuits, more especially as a mercantile life was not congenial to my habits, I proceeded to Paris in the beginning of 1846 where I obtained every facility for study and research. During my residence in that City I used to attend the Scientific lectures in the Sorbonne and the Astronomical lectures of M. Arago at the Royal Observatory. I now found my Knowledge of the Ancient and Modern languages -small as it was - of immense service to me in making researches into the history of Astronomy at the various public libraries which Paris is so amply supplied with. In the course of these pursuits I collected together an immense quantity of Notes which I was enabled to turn to a useful account on my return to London. During my residence in Paris which extended to rather more than a year I supported myself mainly by teaching English, my brothers supplying the deficiency.
Soon after my return to London I learned that Mr Baldwin the Publisher was bringing out some scientific works as a continuation of the Library of Useful Knowledge, and upon applying to him, I entered into an arrangement with him for writing a history of Physical Astronomy to serve as a Supplement to the history of Astronomy already published in which very little mention is made of the theory of Gravitation. The first number appeared in September 1848. In the month of/
p13 of June 1849 having the pleasure of making the acquaintance of Captain Manners one of the Secretaries of the Royal Astronomical Society, I sent him a copy of the first five numbers of the work, being all those that had been hitherto published. I was gratified to find that he seemed to entertain a favourable opinion of their contents. My publisher also very kindly shewed me a private letter relative to the author of the work, written by a distinguished Mathematician which was strongly calculated to encourage me in my labours. having obtained an invitation to the meetings of the Royal Astronomical Society from my kind friend Captain Manners, I soon became acquainted with many of the most influential Fellows of the Society. In 1850 I was elected a Fellow of the Society. In 1852 my History of Physical Astronomy, having been finally brought to a close, was published. In February 1853 I was appointed Editor of the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society. One of the most important of my duties in connection with this office is to write abstracts of the Astronomical Memoirs and other Publications relating to Astronomy which the Society is constantly receiving as donations from the various Scientific bodies of Europe, and America. The office was proposed to me - not on the grounds of the remuneration attached to it, which is trifling - but because it would serve to give me a status among Astronomers and to forward my views as an author. On both these grounds I have no reason to regret my acceptance of the office. I may mention/
p14 mention that I have uniformly received the greatest kindness from all the Astronomers and men of Science here with whom I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted, including among the others the Astronomer Royal, Mr Adams of Cambridge, Prof., Powell of Oxford, Mr Johnson Director of the Radcliffe Observatory Oxford, &c &c.
There are however, besides my staunch friend Captain Manners, three other gentlemen who have earned especial claims to my gratitude. These are the Revd. Mr Sheepshanks, my predecessor in the Editorship of the Montly Notices of the Ast. Society Prof. De Morgan of University College and Admiral .H. Smyth, a distinguished observer and the author of a well known work on Astronomy.
The examination of the various Astronomical publications which are sent to the society supplies me with a mass of intelligence which I have already the prospect of employing advantageously as regards my own interest.
I have thus given you a sketch of my somewhat chequered journey through life. I have reason to cherish a feeling of profound gratitude to the Almighty who has bought me out of such a long course of severe illness, and by whose blessing I now enjoy a moderate degree of good health. I have also cause to be thankful to him for his goodness in enabling me to attain a position wherein I can earn a modest independence in a way/
p15 way congenial to my disposition of mind and that in addition to the assistance of kind relatives which I never wanted I have the satisfaction of enjoying the friendship of many eminent men whose names were familiar to me as "household words" long before I had the pleasure of forming their acquaintance.
Among the privileges which I owe to my kind friends in London I must not omit to mention the absolute command of an Observatory within fifteen minutes walk of my residence.
I shall now conclude with wishing yourself and your family a happy new Year, and much future prosperity and believe me, My dear Sir,
Yours very Truly,

Android surges ahead of Apple on Ireland's phones
Ireland is becoming an Android-using country, according to new figures.
And 55pc of Irish phones now use the Android operating system compared to 41pc using Apple's iOS, a big turnaround in the battle of the phone ecosystems.
A year ago, Apple's iOS led Android with 48pc of the market compared to Google's 46pc.
The figures, compiled by Dublin-based Statcounter, show Android's lead over its main rival increasing.
Analysts say that this is down to the rise in Android phones' minimum quality and capabilities, which has led to greater use of the devices, even for budget models used by late adopters.
However, the emerging Android dominance in usage stands apart from the profitability of the competing ecosystems, with Apple making twice as much money from its iPhones as all other manufacturers combined.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's Windows Phone system continues to struggle, stuck at 3pc of phone usage in Ireland and falling in market share over the last 12 months.
Android's rise is also affecting web browser penetration in Ireland, too. Last month, Google's Chrome overtook Safari as the most used mobile browser for Irish phone owners.
Figures from Statcounter show that Chrome has risen from 27pc to 44pc of phone browser usage in Ireland over the last 12 months. In the same period, Apple's share has fallen from 46pc to 40pc.
But Apple remains the biggest individual phone brand in the Irish market, with 41pc of people using its devices. The next most popular brand is Samsung with 31pc, followed by Sony on 8pc and HTC on 6pc. Nokia's brand has plummeted, with the Statcounter figures indicated its usage at 3pc in Ireland, pegged at the same level as newcomer Huawei. Motorola is used by 2pc of smartphone users here.
Apple continues to dominate the tablet market in Ireland, with its usage almost unchanged in the last 12 months at 74pc of the Irish market.
Android, by comparison, commands just 23pc.
Meanwhile, phone users' social media links and traffic is increasingly dominated by Facebook. According to Statcounter, Facebook accounts for 92pc of phone users' social media traffic, up from 69pc a year ago.
Twitter's share of Irish mobile social media traffic has collapsed from 18pc a year ago to just 4pc today.
The figures reflect web traffic from smartphones that interacts with social media services, as opposed to use of a social media app itself. This metric is important for companies trying to understand where traffic to their websites or etailing offers is coming from within the social media demesne.
Statcounter's Irish sample is 7.2m web pages from mobile devices. In terms of search engines on smartphones, 96pc of Irish phones use Google, with 3pc using Yahoo. Just 1pc use Bing, despite its installation on Nokia and Microsoft phones.

My cholla wood is very clean . If you purchase a piece from someone else and are not happy please don't get discouraged , try mine and you can see the difference. Others seem not to like to clean there wood but I enjoy it ,and I am very meticulous about my wood. I feel that I am creating something like art every piece I do , because it is so different then how it comes from the desert when it's cleaned There are no pesticides on or even near my area.I know everyone has there own unique style that they like so I've been working very hard trying to list a variety.My customers say The cholla wood pieces I sale are better then they expected .

I do a very through job cleaning these my husband says to through :) I sell these for all sorts of different things even though they are cleaned boiled and washed , sometimes they do still leach brown into water. Before sticking these in a fish tank they still need to be soaked to make sure the brown leach will not come out .So just put them in a bucket of water and let them sit to check before adding to a fish tank to make sure.

Warning: This episode may contain spoilers for this episode and previous episodes of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.
Episode two of American Crime Story season two adds some much-needed pieces to the Versace puzzle. New pieces of the plot become clearer and more background is brought into the light with Andrew Cunanan. This episode mainly focuses on Andrew's slowly dwindling sanity along with some history between siblings Donatella and Gianni Versace.
It is surprising to find out that Gianni was sick. Gianni and his partner Antonio had an open relationship which led to Gianni contracting AIDS. This revelation causes hardship between Donatella and Antonio. Donatella wants what is best for Gianni, but he is unwilling to give up Antonio. The big reveal here is that Gianni was already dying before he was killed. The issue of running Versace after Gianni's death is put into question. Donatella does not feel ready but decides to run the company.
The episode provides emotion right off the bat. Donatella does her best to stay out of the press when Gianni passes. She brings him a nice suit and dresses him for his viewing, but he is later cremated. His ashes are sent with Donatella on a plane back to Italy. She then mentions all the hardships her brother had to face during the AIDS epidemic. Gianni had claimed he was HIV negative to the press. As viewers, we know this simply isn't the truth. The writing here is brilliant because it provides a glimpse into the struggles Gianni faced. His open relationship with Antonio was difficult to accept and he was dealing with internal decisions. He was more than a celebrity and fashion designer.
Andrew Cunanan continues to evade the authorities with ease and checks into a hotel in Miami. Cunanan's obsession with Versace has led him to follow up on everything he has ever made or accomplished. This becomes obvious in a conversation with Ronnie, a local in the Miami area. Andrew's personality changes so frequently within the episode it is hard to decipher his true intentions. At this point he makes his money by becoming a local escort for wealthy men.
His friendship with Ronnie quickly dwindles and Ronnie is left dumbstruck by Andrew's change in behavior. Andrew has a layout of his own movements on the wall and realizes he needs to move on. At this point it becomes obvious that he is also a compulsive liar. He tells everyone a different story about his life and dreams. It makes us realize that even we as the audience don't know who Andrew really is. He's very cunning and is good at staying under the radar.
Andrew's lifestyle leads him to the gay culture in Miami, Florida where he is learning to take advantage of young, naïve men. He is very open about his sexuality. His hiding from the authorities leaves him hurting for money, hence the escorting. Adding this to the episode demonstrates just how dangerous Andrew truly is; he will say and do whatever to gain someone's trust but will also break someone's trust just as easily. He is beginning to form patterns of behavior which the FBI starts to recognize. This episode is more about the background of the characters rather than the events taking place. This is done very well using both the past and the present.

'The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story' Episode 2: "Manhunt"
"Manhunt" provides information that helps us to better understand the characters of 'The Assassination of Gianni Versace'. There are secrets and lies between the family members and the press, and the setting for the episode shows a good representation of the late '90s. Andrew's motives remain unclear because of his constant lying but this keeps the viewers wanting more. This episode is as entertaining as the first and fairly represents the Versace family and their struggles.

Below are three screen shots of my comment on the New York Times blog post entitled: How Do You Define Family? This is just a smaller part of the family traditions project we have been working on in ROGATE lately. Enjoy!
Here is the rest of my project:
In technical terms, a family is any group of people consisting of parents and children living together (We will call this Family A). However, we may also define family as being a matter of relationships, and modern society has grown to know a family as being any group of people that loves each other, regardless of their age, gender, et cetera. Although there may not always be two parents and a child, one may also define a group of unrelated people as being "one big, happy family" as they say. (We will call this Family B)
In my opinion, a family could be either of the two, however, a Family A may not always qualify as a Family B as well. When I travel from my small farm-town to the city on occasion, I often see families including parents that seem to care not a bit for their children, and only love (or not even love) their husband or wife. This is the kind of family that qualifies as Family A, but is it really and truly a family? There is much more meaning behind Group B, while Group A is simply a group of people who just so happen to be related.
This is where things get a little more complicated. Family A may have parents that care nothing for their kids, but the children may still love each other as Family B would, and vice versa. The parents may raise their children loving them, but the kids don't seem to appreciate the love that is coming their way. This is merely saying that, although a Family B may not have as strong of a bond as a whole, there may indeed be relationships within such a family that can withstand the parenting that they receive.
I just recently saw a family outside of a department store that seemed to be the typical Family B, but they displayed what is mentioned above, by which I mean that the two little girls which were the parent's children were laughing together and having a good time while their parents couldn't have cared less if they were burning down the store. This proves my point that the relationships of a family do not necessarily have to be completely uniform. There may be some families that would qualify as being AB or BA.
In modern society, we seem to see the people that are born to wealthier or nicer, or both, Family As in a more positive light than those who may not be as privileged. Is a king always going to be more intelligent or more kind than the peasant begging on the street? We can relate this question to the situation of families. The "combination" families may have parents that are not as skilled at parenting, but their children can still do great things in this world. It seems that we refrain from giving such children a chance because they may have been born in the inner-city, where the economy is struggling and there tends to be a bit of a "rough crowd." There is no reason to judge such people.
In conclusion, there are indeed different types of families, but the type of family that you are a part of should not reflect how you act as a person. It may influence you, but those who are truly good people will not allow this type of negativity in their lives. A family can be anyone from your mother to a friend from a foreign country, as long as they love you. That is all that truly matters.— Charles

Ashley How started LightARC (previously Advectas) in 2010 after working for an organization that had poor management and in turn wasn't performing. Ashley saw the opportunities within the corporate performance area and decided to take advantage of that. He started with a few contracts following them through to completion; he says that the business then "floundered around for 5 years or so".
He could see the potential and opportunities within the market but wasn't able to take full advantage of them. Consumed with repetitive day-to-day tasks and after various attempts at marketing events and activities had failed; he knew that if he continued to take that same approach the business would never grow.
Ashley took action and began reading business development books, it was then he realised he needed help, guidance and knowledge, something more personal and in depth than he found in his reading. It was time to engage someone to assist in developing and growing the business.
Ashley started coaching with David Guest from Outcomes Business Group in June of 2016; at that time he had 2 Consultants and 4 staff working for him with approximate revenue of $800,000. He did a lot of research on the Outcomes Business Group and was thrilled to work with a company that had a similar vision to him. He felt an alignment, to him it "wasn't all about pure dollars, it was about improving the value to me personally, to the business and the outcomes we were after".
He decided to jump straight in with the maximum level of engagement with David to ensure he was taking full advantage of this opportunity and process, he realised he'd been in business too long and needed to get out of this hole and resolve the challenges they had within the business. The level of excitement and overwhelm that comes with the extensive learning process he was undertaking had settled within the first couple of months of coaching.
Ashley began executing changes within the business based on the knowledge he had accumulated in his coaching sessions. Within the first 12 months Ashley had really kicked into gear, he had widened his vision and understanding within the business. He laid all of the foundations needed for huge growth. Making time for tasks he previously ignored became less challenging. As he developed a new approach to recruitment and systemising the business, LightARC began to entice higher quality employees that could take on even more of the work.

Towards a Computational Understanding of Protein Function
Date/Time: September 3, 3:40 pm
Location: B29 Atanasoff Hall
Proteins facilitate almost all of life's functions. A comprehensive knowledge of the function of any organism's proteins has profound implications towards our understanding of life and, especially in humans, of wellness and disease. With the introduction of fast and cheap DNA sequencing, we have amassed a large amount of data about genes and the proteins they encode. At the same time, for most of these proteins we lack the knowledge of what they do. While biological experiments are the only reliable way to reveal a protein's function, many of these experiments do not scale up to the needs we have for understanding the hundreds of thousands of proteins sequenced. The computational annotation of protein function has therefore emerged as a problem at the forefront of computational and molecular biology.
Many methods have been developed by research groups worldwide. Some are based in comparing unsolved sequences with databases of proteins whose functions are known. Other methods aim at mining the scientific literature associated with some of these proteins, yet others combine sophisticated machine-learning algorithms with an understanding of biological processes to decipher what these proteins do. However, there is a need to assess how well these methods perform. The critical Assessment of Function Annotations (CAFA) is a new community-wide experiment to assess the performance of the multitude of methodologies developed by research groups
worldwide to help channel the flood of data from genome research to deduce the function of proteins.
In my talk I will discuss the two CAFA experiments conducted in 2011 and 2014. I will show how a time-based computational challenge is helping improve protein function prediction methods. I will pay special attention the the generation of benchmark data and to the choice of assessment metrics.

Although it won�t attract bears, molten glass can best be described as having the consistency of honey, said Dane Gallery co-owner Robert Dane.
Once removed from the furnace, the scorching-hot, syrupy liquid immediately begins to cool so it�s easier to mold. Watching the typically solid matter contort and twist its natural form is a spectacle not to be missed, said Dane.
Beginning tomorrow, the Dane Gallery and Corning Museum of Glass will host a Hot Glass Road Show outdoors on the former Mad Hatter property at the corner of Easton and South Beach streets. The show will continue through Sunday with demonstrations, meet the artist discussions, and �You Design It�We Make It� sessions for children. Admission is free, although donations to benefit the Artists Association of Nantucket�s children�s art program will be accepted.
�The nature of the material is totally unique. It�s both fragile and really durable, so it�s different from anything else. It�s hard, it�s soft, it�s liquid. And there are all these things you can do with it: You can blow it, cast it, carve it, polish it,� said Dane, who discovered glass-blowing at the Massachusetts College of Art in 1973. Back then, though, the artists were basically treading new water. Today, it has developed into a much more popular and serious art form.
�When I started, there were 400 or 500 artists in the country. Now it�s all over the world. There are a lot more people and a lot more information,� Dane said. �After 35 years, I still find it fun. And it�s more fun because I know how to do it now!�
The art has become so popular, added Dane, that many other types of artists have begun to include glass work in their own pieces, and will hire a glass-blower to make them.
Dane usually works inside his Western Massachusetts studio with three or four assistants to create his fragile sculptures and more functional work, like his Tutti Frutti goblets, the colorful wine glasses (translated to �many fruits�) the artist hand-creates and features in the Centre Street gallery he runs with his wife Jayne.
�I really like the fact that I�m making a goblet that someone is going to take home and drink their wine out of, so I have that connection with them,� said Dane, who will create the Tutti Frutti goblets during his demonstrations. Watching the process, which dates back to around 650 B.C. and has strong ties to Italian artisans in the 1600s, is absolutely mesmerizing, said Dane: It relies on concentration, teamwork, and skill to work decisively with the hot glass. Much like the Italian tradition, Dane hires team members at a relatively early age, then teaches them step by step each part of the process. Eventually, they learn how to execute the entire project themselves.
�You�re working with something that is moving, so you have to respond to it,� said Dane. �In Italy you start when you�re 10 or 11. I started when I was about 20.�
Marc Petrovic typically likes to work with one assistant so that he doesn�t have �too many chefs watching the pot� when making his glass fish sculptures and castaway bottles.
�One thing that interests both my wife and I is, you are simultaneously creating the form and the color,� said Petrovic, who will demonstrate at the road show all weekend. He and his wife Kari Russell-Pool will also give a lecture on Sunday at 8 p.m. at the Atheneum library about the inspiration behind some of their earlier works.
�When you�re scalding something hot, you maybe can take five minutes off, but you basically have to make the whole thing in one sitting. Then, once it�s done, you can�t sit it on the shelf and decide to turn the face the other way. With wet clay you can make that decision, but with glass you can�t.�
Glass-blowing does have its benefits, though: It�s immediate and it�s versatile. Not only is glass transparent, it has the potential to be opaque and translucent, said Petrovic, leaving room for a wide color palette. And, with glass, you can redo the color if you�re unhappy with it, which might not be the case with ceramics.
Unlike Dane, Petrovic works mainly with representational subject matter (animals, boats, bottles), the process for which is unique in its own regard.
�Most people have a kind of general idea of how glass-blowing is done, but this will hopefully show them what is involved with creating free-hand objects. Mine are representational, recognizable objects. The process is quite different for making a form like that: You take glass out of a molten tank, it�s like a big bowl of honey, and you make an object out of it. It looks like an anatomically correct item,� said Petrovic.
From Dane�s Tutti Frutti goblets, to Anthony Schafermeyer and Claire Kelly�s Venetian cane technique, to Petrovic�s representational figures, the demonstrations at the road show should vary far and wide � seeing one blown-glass figure does not mean you�ve seen them all.
�I�m probably the most critical of my work, except for maybe my wife,� said Petrovic with a laugh, who added that the demonstration models probably won�t be up to par for his sellable collection. If he does happen to make what he considers a worthwhile piece, then he will be glad to auction it off for the children�s art program.
�Generally (my projects) take an hour and a half to two hours, but if I can get them done in an hour, I have a happier audience. So, I tend to speed things up a little more for demonstrations,� he said.
Petrovic, along with Schafermeyer and Kelly, will demonstrate their art at the road show, as well as instruct the �You Design It � We Make It� sessions for children. The young participants will draw their own design, and then a select number will have their designs brought to life in glass by one of the artists.
The Hot Glass Road Show will run from Friday, July 6 through Sunday, July 7 at the corner of South Beach and Easton streets. See I&M Calendar on page 10 C for specific times and artists. Free, although donations to the Artists Association of Nantucket�s children�s art program are appreciated.

July 2016
Various commemorative events were held in many cities for Madanjis anniversary in July.
Pune, which has many Madanji admirers, had a third show in same week... following ANUBHUTI, held in same auditorium just two days ago. It is heartening that each event is packed and the audiences enjoy the music and experience.
EK HASEEN SHAAM was held at the Yeshwantrao Chavan Hall on Sunday 17th July.
MERA SAAYA SAATH HOGA, a big event with a large orchestra was held in Mumbai.
I REMEMBER MADAN MOHAN, a unique event of the rare songs of Madanji and Lataji was presented by Vikas Bhatwadekar. During this show, apart from singing these rare gems, he explained all the nuances of their compositions. The audience was very receptive even though some songs they had never heard before.


text: Ok here is my question, I hope i am in the right spot. I am looking for a way to add Metadata to my MP3 and MP4 (video's) so that it can be seen in itunes or my PS3. I currently have things sorted out into folders, this keeps everything pretty well orginized. I want to make sure that if a file is transfered to another computer the data comes with the file. Does that make sense? with my MP3's the data like artist/track/album/genre is part of the file I want this for my MP4 (video's) too. I know itunes lets you add this info but I am not sure it is written directly to the file or some itunes Database. please keep in mind i am using a vista PC. if I had a Mac i would use lostify which looks like a great program. I have found nothing of this calibur for windows.

7 Facebook Trends That Need To Stop Being Trends
1. Selfies.
This was an easy #1, hands down. Nothing says "Appreciate me for my beauty, not for my brains" quite like a picture you took of yourself in the bathroom mirror making a duck face. No, don't tell me it's a sexy pout. Duck face is not sexy. Unless you're a duck, being seen from the point of view of other ducks. I also like it when the toilet is clearly visible in the backdrop of selfies, because obviously that's what you want associated with your lovely face.
2. Random kid ❤
People who take pictures holding a random baby bother me. I probably don't know you enough to know whether or not that kid is actually yours. Do you have any idea how confusing this is to people? Luckily there's usually that one estranged relative who actually asks if you're the parent, because I sure don't know you well enough to ask. (And I admit I'm probably being all judge-y in the meantime. But that might be just because I'm not ready for kids so I assume others my age aren't either.)
3. Speaking of kids…
Here's 8 million pictures of my kids! Like them all!
I don't mind when people with kids post super cute pictures. But try to keep in under control, people. And as a side note, I find it kind of creepy that when these kids are older, they will be able to watch themselves grow up, with a thorough record of their day-to-day happenings and all life events.
4. Song lyrics to that song you've never heard that really doesn't make sense out of context.
"I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
Retracing every step we made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
But if it's true then tell me how we got this way"
But what does it mean? Does it mean anything? Is it deep, or do I just like the song? You don't know muahaha evil genius…
5. Food porn
If you are out at an amazing dinner, you are welcome to brag about it. I will probably be very jealous and then go make myself a bowl of cereal for dinner. But do I post that picture of my cereal to the internet? No, no I don't. No one wants to see the gross food you cooked for yourself. The rule should be that only exceptional food can be posted to Facebook!
6. #Hashtag #ALL #the #words!
Bro, stop it. You're embarrassing yourself. Hashtags are for Twitter, and even if you are posting something on Twitter that happens to also go to your Facebook, you really don't need to get so hashtag-happy. And anyways, by the time we see your hashtag-ridden monstrosity, we are already looking at the words or picture it's supposed to be describing.
7. Awkwardly sexual or inappropriate behaviour.
Personally, I think we shouldn't be posting anything on the internet that we don't want our parents/family members/religious leader/current or future employers/kids to see. Once it's up there, there is no way to get rid of it, so be careful. Also I'm going to be judge-y here again, but I lose respect for people who post sexual things to their Facebook pages. Not that I think you should not be a sexual being, but you don't need to tell the whole world that you got laid last night. And those pics of you partying, smoking pot, or doing other illegal activities? You never know who will see them. Plus even though you think you sound cool now, odds are good that no one cares. Sorry, it's the internet.

I LOVE THIS!!!! I just wrote a rant on selfies as well the other day. Facebook really annoys me…

drishism says :
Some of my friends who are on vacation post pictures. That's cool. I do that. But they only post selfies, so its like… what's the point? If you are in Hawaii, or New York… and the pictures you post are only of your face… then you can't really prove it with just your face. At least stand in front of the Statue of Liberty and get a full profile or something…
Sanaa ♥ Dietitian says :
HAHAH I feel that way about a few people when they travel, Its either a lot of food pictures or that awkward pic they take on their own trying to get their face in with a glimse of the background.

Reblogged this on Musings of a Mild Mannered Man and commented:
Lol, I do have to admit that there are a few things on this list that I am guilty of – read hashtags – but as for the million and one photos of friends kids, please, please, please can someone get people to stop this. I know your kids are wonderful and a delight to be around, but I'm more interested in you, the friend, the family member, the work colleague, and what YOU are doing, not the bloody sporgs…
McphistoMr2U says :
Selfies are the least favoured of the seven for me, why do they choose not only have a million of these vain shots, but often couple them up in the worst environment possible, from untidy bedrooms to public toilets..no imagination

Some of the thing's I often find myself ranting about on a daily basis
sashwilson says :
#3 is for photo albums: kids will watch themselves grow up with a thorough record of their day to day happenings. Didn't you have that? Although I do agree posting every one of the internet is kinds creepy
becky6259 says :
Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud at this post! I've thought these same things, even (blush) been guilty of at least one. So true it's hilarious — I was going to follow up one of my posts about this same subject, but I think I'll just reblog this instead. Your post says it all! Thanks for stopping by Mrs. City Boy!

Hey all! Janine here.
This blog is to help me understand what is going on in my life, because I find that until I share my experiences it is hard to make sense of them and what they mean to the bigger picture. When there's nowhere else to turn, your typewriter is there to listen without judgment, and just let you bleed.
Welcome to the inside of my head.

Chicago Bridal Market Experience/
On Monday, Ms. Hot Wings and I had the opportunity to go to the Chicago Bridal Market under the Weddingbee/Project Wedding moniker as "Press". What exactly is the Bridal Market? It is where tons of wedding dress designers/manufacturers along with wedding accessories and shoe manufacturers gather bi-annually to display all their new designs for retailers to view and place their orders for Spring/Fall. Very cool! Unfortunately most of the high-end dress designers show their goods at the NYC Bridal Market, so there was no Vera/Monique/Amsale/Reem/Melissa/etc. for us too see and drool over… Ms. Hot Wings and I… why am I so red?! I swear, I was not drinking!
Pictures were not really allowed, but I snuck in a few. Imagine thousands of square feet of dresses upon dresses! I was seriously gaga over some of the gowns and they made me want a wedding RE-DO (and then there were some dresses that just made me want to gag. Period.)
No comment on these below…
I seriously wanted to make off with one of these cute OKA b flip flops that you can literally throw in the dishwasher!
Most of the fashion shows took place on Sunday, but we were lucky enough to catch this Mori Lee show. Again, I don't think I was supposed to take pictures, but I told the guy, "We're Press." hahaha.
I love love love the bottom of this dress, how dramatic are those ruffles?! Le sigh…
There was something very lovely and luxe about the cut and fabric of this particular dress below (my lousy pictures do it NO justice!)
If I WAS to have a wedding re-do now, I might choose something like one of these below: sweetheart neckline, higher waist (I'm short waisted anyways), blingy belt, a skirt that SWIRLS when you twirl… and POCKETS!
The rest of these (considerably better) pictures were taken by Kevin Ramos, the official Project Wedding photographer for the site's Wedding Dress section.
Can you tell, I really love this shape?
L: Watters Brides R: Allure Bridals
The trumpet shape is also another one of my faves; these remind me of something a celeb would wear to the Oscar's (if in a different color).
Both by Allure Bridals
Hello gorgeous gown with amazing ruching and fab, blingy belt by Maggie Sottero! I could totally see JLo wearing this down the red carpet (doesn't the model kinda remind you of JLo if you squint a bit?! hehe)
Let's not forget about the bridesmaids, they deserve to look smokin' in their bridesmaids attire too! Navy is a big color, I think I saw a lot of navy bridesmaids dresses on display. The one on the right by Watters is super cute and sassy with the sweetheart neckline and soft draping.
L: Allure Bridals, R: Watters
I think I want the purple one, bridesmaid or no bridesmaid. I am a sucker for lady-like dresses with V-necks, floofy skirts and pockets!
What do you think?!
**By the way, you may not immediately see these dresses up on the company websites because most of them were "new releases" for the fall season.**

It is 11 o'clock in the morning. 91 years ago at this very moment, World War I officially ended. While we call it Veterans Day in this country, most of the world knows it as Remembrance Day. The "War to End All Wars" was not really so. At this moment, 91 years ago, the calm before the real storm began. Lives striving to be put back in order would, within twenty years, come undone again.
The last of Britain's World War I soldiers died in the past year. And we continue losing the World War II generation. It is odd to think that soon there will be children born who have no direct connection to either of the two great wars of the 20th century.
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

8 Year Old Having A Hard Time
by Cindy
Dear Annie,
I received an email from his teacher today that highlights some of the issues that Colin is having at school. His teacher says he is disruptive and defiant, not following directions, needs a lot of attention despite being very capable, and making poor choices in class. He was sent to the office as his behavior became so disruptive. He spoke to them about having a bad week at home and having problems with his brother.
I plan to further explore what's bothering him with his 11 year old stepbrother but I believe it is that he is 3 years older and is wanting his own friends and time and doesn't handle it very well when Colin wants to play with him. I keep encouraging him to do his own thing and started inviting friends over more his age to play with. I totally agree with you that he feels like he has lost power at home so he is exerting it at school.
Having recently purchased EFT 4 Kids I would like some ideas for using it to help Colin.
Thank You
