About "The Walking Dead" ....
Q: We have gotten to see Maggie evolve through the storylines. How does it feel to be the alpha female?
A: " It's interesting. People were asking if I take on a maternal role with the baby. [That's] not the case — because she is the alpha and so able-bodied. She is more of a soldier. We are going to see more of that — this chick can get stuff done. [There are] huge challenges ahead."
Q: In the comics, Maggie marries Glenn. Is this something fans can look forward to?
A: I don't know, and it's not something I can say [anything] about now. We will see what the future holds. I would hope, somewhere down the line, we see that. The hopefulness of the couple is great.
A: I love Steven, but the chemistry is onscreen. He and I see these conversations people have, and they analyze every "arm touching." We are just good friends. It's like being in college together.
Q: What has been your favorite walker-killing weapon?
A: Machete — l just love that thing. It's just light and quick. You can hook it underneath, get it from the top, or take the head off it with it. It's not too bulky.

About Herself
SheKnows.com wrote about her: She was thoughtful, intelligent and passionate about her work, and she emphasized the familial bond the entire cast has with each other.
Q: You played the strong vampire Rose in The Vampire Diaries and the strong daughter on The Walking Dead. Very pro-female empowerment — are these your ideal roles?
A: Definitely, definitely — I just love it. [I'm] really attracted to strong people with strong morals [and to] playing those types of characters. Maggie is just like a dream role for me. [Starting off], you see this good, Christian girl, and [she] meets a new group. You would have never known any of us would [be] where we are [now], and there's still so much potential for all of us. I feel like she's still the same person, and you just put her in a different context. She is so great to play — she's really just a farm girl. Everyone's pretty normal. You have a sheriff, [a] pizza-delivery kid, and a farm girl (laughs).

It is an abstraction to think that mathematics is only confined to the classroom. This paper attempts to analyse how mathematics can be used in our society today through mathematical models. Attempt is also made to justify how these models can be used in mathematics teaching and teacher education. Arguments for considering the use of mathematics in politics as a useful resource for mathematics in the classroom have also been advanced.
At Roskilde University in Denmark, the regulation for mathematics teacher education for upper secondary school level included as one of its main aims and objectives that the teachers should be able to teach mathematics modeling to students in such a way that the roles and functions of mathematics in the society should be demystified (Roskilde University, 1975, p. 1). Mogen Niss, who was the main architect behind the programme, explains in Niss. M (1977) how this programme should be seen as a cure against what he described as the crisis of mathematics instruction. The crisis, which according to him, arose because of an imbalance between the societal developments towards a highly technological society with a need for mathematical competency in the wide population as well as a quest for critical citizenship in relation to the use of mathematics in society and on the otherhand, an abstract and isolated mathematics instruction, especially at upper secondary level skewed towards a mathematical elite and without connections to the use of mathematics in the society. In Denmark, this discussion together with other developments, actually led to the inclusion of models and applications in the upper secondary mathematics curriculum (the equivalence of senior secondary mathematics curriculum in Nigeria). Facilitated by a Danish research initiative; called mathematics education and Democracy (Nissen, 1993), this period also marked the beginning of a strong trend in Danish mathematics education research focusing on the roles and functions of mathematics in society. The overall objective was to understand how mathematics teaching can contribute to the development of a democratic society (Niss, 1994). Mogen Niss followed this path in some of his research (Blum and Niss, 1991, Niss 1994 and 1996) and another internationally well-known Danish Professor, Ole Skovmose, focused his research on the roles and functions of mathematics in society and on the related issue of investigating the conditions; actual and possible for a critical mathematics education (Skovsmose, 1994, 2000 and 2004, Alro and Skovsmose, 1998). Description is to be made of some of the ideas and concepts developed by Moges Niss and ole Skovsmose and others, and illustrations with some examples of the current use of mathematics in politics in society, how their theoretical ideas can be used to analyse cases of societal use of mathematical models and how they can be transformed into teaching.
The Nigerian Situation
Some examples will be considered from the Nigerian socio-political context. Nigeria is a developing country trying to establish a democratic, just and inclusive society. The Nigerian educational institutions play a determining role in the establishment of this kind of society. So, these institutions should prepare the future citizens to actively participate in the decision-making that affects and defines the social reality of Nigeria.
In particular, the mathematical education that is being provided in the Nigerian educational institutions should pay special attention to the socio-political uses of mathematics. There is evidence showing that mathematics plays an important role in shaping the social reality of Nigeria. An example of this is the "marginalization index", (Sanchez, 2009 and 2010) applied in Mexico, which is a measure based on a mathematical model that is used by governments to define the municipalities or local government areas that are in need of resources to promote social development such as, buildings, hospitals, roads, schools etc. Although mathematics plays an important role in shaping the social reality, the mathematics education that is provided in Nigeria does not seem to acknowledge this role. The perception of the role of mathematics within the Nigerian educational system has been discussed and was intended to provide a modest answer to the justification for teaching mathematics for social reality in Nigeria. The problem of justification, if we can underscore the Mexican example, the Ministry of Public Education in one of the documents, to some extent, provides an answer to this question in "Foundation of the curriculum for the reform of the lower secondary education". The document states:
[mathematics is useful] to cope with fractions, to plot functions, to conclude angles, probabilities and perimeters. But also to encourage abstraction in order to facilitate reasoning, develop the argumentation and introduction to the proof (Secretaria de Education Public, 2006, p. 9) as translated.
Other official documents from the Ministry of Public Education portray mathematics as a tool that helps students to understand the physical phenomena around them (Sanchez, 2007). Thus the official justification for teaching mathematics is to provide students with mathematical understanding and the understanding is relevant to the society in general. Besides, mathematics is presented to the students as a topic that is important to study and to understand because it will help them to learn more about mathematics. At best, mathematics is presented to the students as a topic that will help them to understand other school topics or subjects as Physics and Chemistry. Mathematics is not presented to the students as a tool that can be used for prescribing our political and economic reality. It is believed that this perception of the role of mathematics is not specific to the educational institutions. It is common to find mathematics teachers who are not aware of the connections between mathematics and the configuration of social reality and therefore, do not include them in their teaching.
The lack of connections between mathematics and society has consequences. For example, there is a risk of making students to interprete mathematics as a school subject that exists and is only relevant within the four walls of the school. This tends to produce a poor image of mathematics in the students. Another consequence is that the school curriculum does not encourage teachers to relate mathematics to other subjects. This also contributes to create a restricted image of mathematics in the students.
If it is agreed that the idea presented in Skovmose (2000) about the need for educating the youth and our citizens, so that they begin to understand and critique the formatting power of mathematics in society, then more work is needed in order to change the general perception about the role and nature of mathematics. Part of the contribution of mathematics educators to support such a change may consist of designing mathematical activities for the classroom, aim at explicitly illustrating and analyzing such formatting power. It is thought that, in order to prepare students to identify and evaluate socio-political applications of mathematics, it is essential to show them and discuss with them real instances of such applications. Such activities could be based on authentic applications of mathematics within the political systems of our societies.
Reasons for the Use of Mathematics in Politics
The arguments for advocating the use of mathematics in politics as a resource for mathematics teaching are mainly two. Firstly, to show how mathematics is applied within the political context to give an important motivational value. There, is a research indicating that the study of authentic and contemporary applications of mathematics can arouse a great interest among students. An example of this can be found in the empirical research reported in Jankvist (2009), where modern histories of applications of mathematics are used to motivate and change student's conception about mathematics. In this regards, the author states:-
The fact that history is a newer and fairly recent, history of mathematics seems to make it easier for the students to relate […] concerning the history of modern applications of mathematics. Some students may find it more interesting to work with such a history and possibly even more so, if they recognize elements from everyday life (Jankvist, 2009, p. 11).
Although, the study refers to the use of history of mathematics in the classroom, it is a case that can be used as an analogy to illustrate the motivational value that the use of mathematics in contemporary politics could have for the students. Such examples might be easy to relate to aspects of students' daily life. However, there are other reasons to believe that the use of mathematics in politics would be interesting and motivating for mathematics students and their teachers. A specific example of this is the video, "Government and Mathematics" which was published on "YouTube" (Sanchez, 2010). Several comments from people who would have otherwise ignore mathematics at a glance, were received and many of them expressed their feelings that the topic addressed in the video was interesting and they even recommended it to other people. A very remarkable comment was the one on realization of how the politicians govern the people with limited mathematical models based on the expositions by the video. This comment actually promoted the video among his contacts in the social network, but he in turn received commendation from the users of the social network. It can be seen that this process serves as a manifestation of the interest that certain people had in mathematics based on the contents of the video, because it was related to the social reality and experience in society. Consequently, it can be argued that, the mathematics teaching that is detached from the social reality experienced by any society or country can appear demotivating for the students. Conversely, the mathematics teaching that has strong links with the social reality may be more attractive and motivating for the mathematics students. This may be perhaps, true in particular for developing countries like Nigeria.
The second argument for considering the application of mathematics in politics as a resource for mathematics teaching is that, politics is a context that can be useful to explicitly illustrate the formatting power of mathematics. In other words, it is a context that can help to make evident how mathematics can be used to legitimize and justify political decisions that directly and significantly affect the social dynamics of communities and the lives of the inhabitants. It is important to explicitly illustrate and study these kinds of applications of mathematics, because they can serve to nourish a sense of civic awareness in the students and teachers towards the use of mathematics by politician and government institutions. We think that such kind of activities would contribute to prepare students and teachers to identify, evaluate and respond critically to the consequence, of such use of mathematics. Furthermore, we believe that the discussion of such mathematical applications can enrich students' perceptions about the nature and role of mathematics. Nevertheless, we are aware of the fact that locating instances of applications of mathematics in politics is not enough for using them into the classroom. Teachers need to have some sort of guide regarding the aspects they should focus on when discussing this kind of applications of mathematics in the classroom. We understand that mathematics education research can guide us on the aspects that could be the focus of attention when using the applications of mathematics in politics as an aid for the development of mathematics teaching.
The Integration of Mathematics in Politics in Mathematics Teaching
Whenever mathematics is used in politics to describe, predict or even prescribe reality, there is always some type of mathematical model involved (Niss, 1994, p. 369). Even the most simple statistics presupposes assumptions and choices about what to count and how to represent the results. Mathematical models used in politics or societal administration vary a lot in function, complexity, mathematical content and representation. Therefore, there is a need for theoretical ideas that can guide and structure the analysis of the use of mathematics in politics and society, but we are in need of didactical ideas that can support the transportation of such analyses into mathematics teaching practices. Some examples of these ideas as already tried out in practices of mathematics teaching in other societies, especially Denmark, are presented in this part. This is by no means a claim to have covered the areas of mathematics education research relevant for including the use of mathematics in politics in the teaching of mathematics.
Despite the great variation of mathematical models used in politics, they can all be discussed according to their role(s) in the context or contexts where they are to be applied. One very general categorization of models use in politics is the division in descriptive, predictive and prescriptive models (Davis and Hersh, 1986, p. 120). A mathematical model is descriptive when it is used to represent and communicate the current state of a situation. A predictive mathematical model is the one that is used to anticipate or predict what the future state of a situation or problem will be based on the current state. Predictive use of mathematical models is common in relation to societal decision-making, where it is important to be able to predict the effects of possible political regulations in often very complex societal systems. Models in economic planning, traffic planning, environmental planning, planning of energy supply and production are all examples for mathematical models that are used by the political or administrative systems to predict the possible effects of changes or regulations in these systems. Mathematical models are also used in society to define systems that actually shape the political or social reality in which we are living. Such use of mathematical models is characterized as prescriptive.
[….] there are plenty examples of recent and recently reinstated prescriptive mathematizations: examination grades, IQs, life insurance telephone switching systems, credit cards, zip codes, proportional representative voting… we have prescribed these systems often for reasons known only to a few, they regulate and alter our lives and characterize our civilization. They create a description before the pattern itself exits (Davish & Hersh, 1986, p. 120-121).
Of course, not all the examples mentioned in the quote belong to the domain of politics and many of them are integrated in technological systems, which are, infact mathematical models, have political and societal impacts. This is just to make sure it is the functions of the models that are characterized here not the models themselves. The same mathematical model can have different functions in different contexts.
If we want to analyse and discuss applications of mathematics in politics with students, one possible and first approach is to let the students experience and discuss concrete examples of mathematical models used in the society in relation to these three categories, viz, descriptive, predictive and prescriptive models. From experiences, it is possible and motivating for students from secondary school level and above as well as for mathematics teachers to work these categories and even find examples within each category themselves. The students do not need to understand completely the mathematical structure of the models in order to work with them in relation to these categorization. The function(s) that a model plays can be organized at different educational levels. Even though these sort of discussions are somehow general, and not strongly related to the internal mathematical structure of the model, it can be very useful for enriching the students image of mathematics and its applications. For most students and even some teachers of mathematics, it appears as a surprise for them that mathematical models can play different roles and even sometimes prescribe parts of the political and economic reality we are living in.
Skovsmose has analysed deeply the roles and functions being played by mathematical models in society both from a philosophical point of view and analysis of concrete cases of societal applications of mathematical models. Skovsmose, (1990, 1994) and Skovsmose and Yasukawa (2004). In this research, it is established that mathematics through modeling and models exerts a formatting power in modern societies. Furthermore, this formatting power of mathematics constitutes a major challenge for mathematics education research and for the practice of mathematics teaching. In order for mathematics teaching to contribute to general education in favour of democratic societal developments and if its teaching needs to have the desired role in society and politics, it must be taken seriously.
During a Danish research initiative in the years 1998-2004, a number of research and developmental projects with experimental teaching were carried out in order to investigate how this challenge can be met in mathematics teaching already at lower secondary level (Skovsmose & Blomhaj, 2003 & 2006). Findings from analyses of authentic application of mathematical models were used to structure courses of lessons which aimed at including a political dimension. One example of such findings, which is relevant for mathematics teacher education, is the following four types of general side-effects in relation to the use of mathematical models in technical or societal investigation or decision-making process (Skovmose, 1990, p. 128-133), which include the following:-
- A reformation of the problem in hand in order for it to be suitable for analysis by means of a mathematical model.
- A delimitation of the group of people engaging in the public discussion about the problem in hand, to those who are able to understand the model and its role in the decision-making process. This group is in this case referred to as the base of critique.
- A shift away in the discourse from the political and societal reality toward the political and societal reality towards quantitative claims and arguments related to the model. The model now becomes the object for the discourse.
- A delimitation of the possible solutions or the alternative political actions taken under consideration to those that can be evaluated in the model.
The point here is of course not that the use of mathematical models should be avoided as a tool in political and societal decision-making because of the side effects. Mathematical modeling is an indispensable part of a modern technological society. The point here is that the use of mathematical models in society is neither good nor bad nor neutral by any means. Therefore, it is important that mathematics teaching in general education contributes to the development of a critical awareness of, and a competence to analyse the possible effects of the use of a mathematical model in a decision-making process. That the detection of such effects and the related reflections do not need to be closely related to the mathematical structure of the model involved, mathematical modeling competency is a prerequisite for conducting such analyses. Hence, it is mathematics as a subject that has to address the educational challenge related to the formatting power of mathematical models in society, and therefore, these issues must be included in mathematics teacher education, else nobody will to it.
General discussions about the types of mathematical models and their functions in politics could serve to nurture and broaden teachers' and students' images of mathematics and its applications. However, in mathematics curricula, say, at secondary level, it might be difficult to find space for such extra mathematical aspects. Analyses of the inner mathematical structure of an authentic model might be a way of approaching the study of mathematical applications in politics, which is easier to integrate in the practice of mathematics teaching. Such analyses can be structured according to a general model of a mathematical modeling process (fig. 1). A concrete case of modeling can be analysed with respect to one or more of the six sub-processes included in a modeling process, namely; problem formulation, systematization, mathematization, mathematical analysis, interpretation/evaluation and validation. For example, we can discuss with the students the assumptions underlying a model and what their implications are. Such kind of discussion refers to the systematization sub-process. It is also possible to discuss the role of the variables and parameters within a mathematical model; like what do they represent?, how are the values of the parameters? And what are their effects on the models' results? This is one way of addressing the sub-process of mathematical model analysis. It is also important to discuss with students the sub-process of interpretation/validation. Questions like; on what ground(s) can the model be validated? Is it possible to obtain an alternative interpretation of the modeled situation? Or, does the model adequately capture the situation in hand? These questions are relevant within the discussion of the interpretation/validation sub-process. A typical figure of a mathematical modeling process is shown is figure 1 below:-
The point here is that the students through their work with concrete case, get acquainted with a model of a modeling cycle as a tool for analyzing the process behind models used in relation to particular political decisions. Examples from the project work at Roskilde University are found in Blomhoj and Kjeldsen (2010). Such approach is of course, relevant only for students that have previous experiences with modeling cycle as a tool for supporting their modeling activities. Last but not the least, students' work with authentic societal and political problems can serve as a motivation for and as a means for the learning of important mathematical concepts and methods. As illustrated in examples before, it is possible for students already from lower secondary level to activate their mathematical competencies in relation to societal and political issues.
Politicians and government institutions use mathematics to underpin their proposals and arguments and in decision-making related to social problems. Skovsmose (1990) has warned us about some of the effects that are produced when mathematics is incorporated into the discussion of non-mathematical problems. For instance, if the original problem is reformulated into a different kind of discourse (a mathematical discourse). As a consequence, the group of people who could have participated in the discussion of the problem and its possible solution becomes smaller or reduced because of its very specific composition. It would be integrated only by those citizens with certain mathematical knowledge, who could discern and criticize the use of mathematics in the discussion.
It is the responsibility of mathematics educators to provide the students with a mathematical education which could enable them to take an active and critical participation in the society. A mathematical education that prepares them to identify and analyse the applications of mathematics in addressing social problems. We believe it is worth discussing with the students, examples as those that have been shown in this article. This is because, these examples clearly and explicitly illustrate the kinds of consequences that may result from the application of mathematics in such contexts. This type of mathematics education, it is believed, would positively affect their education as citizens. It is however, necessary to promote these ideas in the classroom. We need more enthusiastic teachers and researchers to conduct experiments and empirical research, reporting the type of results that this approach of mathematical education can produce. Besides, authors of mathematics books are encouraged to try to relate topics in mathematics and their applications to other subjects and also give examples in these books that are applicable to societal issues, so that mathematics cannot be seen as being an abstract subject that is only useful and discussed in the classroom.

Further cast announced for Lettice and Lovage at the Menier Chocolate Factory
Felicity Kendal and Maureen Lipman star
The Menier Chocolate Factory have announced further casting for their upcoming revival of Peter Shaffer's Lettice and Lovage which runs at their south London venue from 4 May to 8 July 2017, with an official opening on 17 May.
Directed by Trevor Nunn, the production will star Felicity Kendal, Maureen Lipman, Petra Markham and Sam Dastor.
"Lettice, employed as a stately home tourist guide, has inherited theatricality and eccentricity from her mother. Caught using 'alternative facts' to embroider the history of the house by Lotte, her supervisor, she is dismissed. During the dismissal interview they uncover common ground with the result that she and Lotte develop an unlikely friendship."
Peter Shaffer's plays include Five Finger Exercise (Evening Standard Drama Award), The Private Ear/The Public Eye, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, Black Comedy, Equus (Tony Award for Best Play) and Amadeus (Evening Standard Drama Award and Tony Award for Best Play).
Lettice and Lovage originally premiered at the Theatre Royal Bath before transferring to the West End's Gielgud Theatre in 1987, where it ran for 768 performances. Maggie Smith created the role of Lettice Douffet, transferring with the production to Broadway where she won the 1990 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play.
Trevor Nunn returns to the Menier following their current production of Love in Idleness, which has recently announced a West End transfer. The Menier Chocolate Factory currently have Travesties running at the Apollo Theatre, David Baddiel: My Family Not the Sitcom at the Playhouse Theatre and a UK tour of Funny Girl.
Tickets for Lettice and Lovage are now on sale.

On a whim, I opened my personal statement for the first time since hitting 'submit' nearly a year ago. Preparing to face my tendency to over-write, a habit which lends itself to often-cringeworthy grand pronouncements, I queued up the Aspiring Public Interest Lawyers Greatest Hits: "Is It Still Worth It? (After Signing that Promissory Note)," "Oh, Really? You're Going to Save the World?" and the classic, "Naiveté."
Instead, I came face-to-face with the prospect that the young, impressionable, wannabe lawyer nursing the cheapest drink on the coffee shop menu in exchange for five hours of Wi-Fi knew everything he needed to know.
See? Grand pronouncements.
Sure, one year ago, I would have failed every single first year course. I couldn't brief, or outline, or read, or write, or even speak effectively. My Lexis points stood at zero and I had nary a dollar of Westlaw Starbucks gift cards. Every one of my classmates would have prayed to the almighty curve I was in their section. One year ago, I was a terrible law student.

Card reader and flash drive
I got the rest of my order from NewEgg today. I ordered an internal multi-card reader and two of the 1GB SD card/mini USB card reader combos. Oddly enough, I got the two SD cards last week, but the three card readers shipped separately from the cards, despite the combo deal.
Anyway, there is good news here. First, the multi-reader, a RosewillRCR-100/101, works flawlessly with Kubuntu. Card inserts are detected correctly and writing is fairly fast, unlike with the reader built into my printer. Now I can fill up that 1GB card for my MP3 player without having to wait forever! This reader also gives me a front USB port, which I had been missing. (Due to an oversight in ordering the parts for my PC, my case has no front USB.)
In fact, it's even better than that. It turns out that my Edgy USB drive problem no longer occurs when I use the new front USB port. Apparently it only happens when I plug the pen drive into my Walmart-special Belkin external hub. I'm not sure why, but it was the cheapest USB hub they had on the shelf when I bought it, so I guess I can't be too surprised.

text: FDA Approves Aflibercept for Diabetic Retinopathy in Patients with Diabetic Macular Oedema. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) expanded the approved use for aflibercept (Eylea) injection to treat diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetic macular oedema (DME). Aflibercept is administered by a physician as an injection into the eye once a month for the first 5 injections and then once every 2 months. It is intended to be used along with appropriate interventions to control blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol. The safety and efficacy of aflibercept to treat diabetic retinopathy in patients with DME were evaluated in 679 participants in 2 clinical studies where participants were randomised to receive aflibercept or macular laser photocoagulation. At week 100, participants being treated with aflibercept showed significant improvement in the severity of their diabetic retinopathy, compared with patients who did not receive aflibercept.

Oran and Karin write, The photo is Beaureguard and Daisy together very happy after a walk. They have been wonderful together, even sleep together. We found out that a lot of Beau's problem was his high energy level, and once we started really walking him, and getting him to be submissive to the pack leader, his pushing through, jumping up, and overexcitement nearly went away. I am saying nearly because he still get really excited to see us when we come home from work, but even that is more respectful, and gentler. Daisy was very submissive to start with, and enjoyed walks and pleasing us. Finally over the last couple of days her trust level was finally to a point her personality is finally coming out. She is a happy dog, playful, and makes you laugh, and want to have a good time with her. Her paperwork said that she had never walked on a leash before, but now she is walking perfectly beside me like she have been doing it all her life. Beau was harder to teach to stop pulling, but last night, he walked about ¼ of a mile beside me, with a loose leash. we both felt great. Thanks for letting us take both of them, our house hasn't been the same since, and we are loving it.
Please read information BEFORE sending any photo/story for the Happy Beginnings section.

We just got our new kitty and named him Oliver. He has the best personality!
Andini writes, Being newlyweds, we have decided to start our family by rescuing a dog but we ended up adopting 3. The first two were adopted on January 5, 2010 and the third one came home with us on March 7, 2010. Sausage (previously Annie) is a mixed of Corgi and Beagle. She is 4 years old. The second one is Trippy (previously Trixie), a super adorable dachsund (1 year old) and the last addition to our family is a mini schnautzer that we call Olive (previously Dalilah), also 1 year old. They get along very well and each has its own personality. Sausage is the big sister, Trippy is the clown and Olive is the talkative one. Our house has definitely become much more delightful and fun with their presence. Now we can't imagine our life without these 3 little rascals. We hope more people will take the time to visit the shelters so that more animals can finally get their forever homes.
At times the world works in mysterious ways, bringing people and animals together with timing impossible to plan. If you are lucky, you are there to witness the events unfold from excitement, to disappointment, to sheer wonderment and happiness. Our Dachshund Big Red's journey began when he first arrived at CAP as a stray little dog and continued as he went to spend some time with his foster family. While in foster care he brushed up on his doggie skills and proved to be a wonderful pet. Big Red was also renamed 'Coney' by votes on the CAP Facebook page to see if a name change would help him get adopted quickly. The name Big Red or 'Red' still stuck though as it just seemed to fit the large personality of this little guy. One day a very nice woman named Danielle drove in from Waller with her little dog Stewie to see if he and Big Red would get along, in the hopes of bringing Red home with them. Later on that day, Danielle sent an email to Big Red's foster mom to let her know how the meeting went:
Stewie and I met Red, and you're right, he's the sweetest dog. After the initial greeting, Stewie and Red kind of ignored each other, but they seemed ok. I couldn't get Red to pay too much attention to me either, and I thought maybe it was because of the surroundings....until Marie came.
Stewie and I had been visiting with Red for about 30 minutes, and Marie came to return another dachshund to the shelter because he didn't get along with her other dogs. When Red saw her, I think he was smitten! Marie sat down and played with Red for about an hour, and they really hit it off. The shelter said she could adopt Red if she brought her other dogs to meet him first. I was okay with it, because he really seemed to like her. So Marie left to get her dogs and I waited with Red (you should've seen how sad he was when she left). I filled out an adoption application just in case she didn't return, but she made it back, with less than 5 minutes to closing! Red and her dogs seemed to get along fine and she adopted him!
I have to admit, part of me was a little sad when she came back, but seeing how happy Red was to see her made me think I made the right decision. Marie said she's going to email me pictures, so I'll make sure I keep you updated.
What are the odds that Marie would be returning to the shelter at the same time Danielle was visiting Big Red?! It sounds like Big Red choose his own home, sometimes the dog does know best. Kudos to Danielle for thinking of what would be best for Big Red and letting him follow his heart. We're still looking for the right Dachshund for her and are certain that another wonderful match will be made!

Dolphins are the smartest animals
Easily and rapidly move in the water dolphins, sometimes developing a speed of over 50 km/h.
They are jumping high out of the water to inhale, filling the lungs with air.
Smooth shiny body of the Dolphin is the perfect streamlined shape, the muzzle is elongated into a narrow beak, at the top of the head has a hole — "blowhole" (nostrils kind of) from where the animal together with the exhaust air can produce a fountain spray height of 1-1,5 meters.
Dolphins, like whales, never go on land (unless they are thrown ashore during a storm) and her cubs too, give birth in water. At the time of birth the female raises its tail high above the water, and the newborn Dolphin in time to take a breath before you fall in the water (otherwise it would have drowned).
Gaining strength, first watch the Dolphin swims, as the float in a vertical position, breathing air, and slightly moving his fins. For several months little Dolphin feeds on mother's milk. Scientists have long paid attention to the mind of the Dolphin. According to his abilities and training, they surpass even dogs, they can be taught to rescue drowning men, to explore the seabed and find sunken ships. Continue reading

The inability to flex the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) of the ring finger is a result of an avulsion injury of the flexor digitorium profundus tendon at its insertion. This injury may or may not include an accompanying avulsion fracture. This is often called a "jersey finger" as the injury is often seen in football when the player grabs the pants or jersey of the opposing player. The mechanism of injury, as described by Leddy and Packer (1) is thought to be continued flexion of the little finger as it falls away while the ring finger, still caught in the pants or jersey, is forcibly extended. Often the player thinks there has been a DIP joint injury and does not realize the tendon has been avulsed and thus may seek treatment long after the injury.

Siemens Family // Chilliwack, BC
Can I just say how much I LOVE shooting in the fall? The colours of the leaves and being outdoors... it's a perfect setting for photos! Last Sunday I had the chance to drive out to Chilliwack and spend the afternoon with the Siemens family at their property along the river!
When I arrived it was raining... (like the usual BC weather we get this time of the year). We gathered under a covered area around a fire pit to stay warm and waited out the rain, and it actually disappeared within a few minutes!
Blue sky appeared and the sun came out... just in time. :) The Siemens family wanted to take photos around their property since this is one of the places that they spend a lot of time together through the year. The landscape along with the fall colours was gorgeous.
Big thanks to the whole family for doing so great in front of the camera and braving the colder weather! I had a great time photographing all of you! Hope you enjoy your photos! :)

I lost my mojo for crafting for a few weeks, so trying to not put too much pressure on myself I simply didn't make anything for quite a while! Then finally while searching Pinterest with Hunter we found plenty of projects that we just absolutely wanted to give a go at..
I saw a design for a card that had four flaps open up on the front.. I don't usually click into things to see how they are made, I like to try and figure that out for myself and this project was no exception.. It took me a few scribbles on some paper to get the right measurements and make sure it would all work together nicely.. lol..
The card is on a 6x6 piece of orange cardstock base.. I used a second 6x6 piece for the inside of the card after I had stuck down all the flap doors..
I used the Kaiser - Chase Rainbows collection for the papers and die cuts on this card..
The card itself is very sturdy as I used plenty of layering.. Although it is fairly simple on the design aspect regarding embellishments, I didn't think it would matter too much since the real hero of the card design are all the flap doors themselves..
The fun colours and folds on this card has certainly got me back into the mood to do some crafting again! :)

Similian Islands
Koh Similan Island is by far the most beautiful group of dive sites in Thailand and one of the best areas for diving in the entire world. Many people comment that the most fantastic thing about the Similan Islands is that we have two radically different types of environments all rolled together into one destination. Nowhere else in the world will a diver find such diverse topography in such a small area.
The Similan Islands, located about one hundred kilometers northwest of Phuket, are composed of nine granite islands covered in tropical jungle, washed by a clear blue tropical ocean and blessed with some of the world's finest beaches. Similan comes from Malay fisherman who named it "The Nine Islands". There is limited accommodation available on the island.
The East Coast with its powdery beaches features hard coral gardens which slope dramatically from the surface down to approximately 30-40 meters, where sand takes over as the water depth increases. On this side, the most popular activity is drift diving along healthy coral gardens while watching the reef inhabitants go about their business. On several sites, large coral bommies rise from the bottom and are covered with soft corals, sea fans, and an enormous amount of critters and unusual fish. Here the diving is easy and navigation simple, allowing each buddy pair to explore at his or her own pace.
The West Coast, just a short boat ride away, can offer faster paced, more exhilarating diving as currents swirl around the huge granite boulders-some larger than the largest of houses. These smooth, rounded boulders make dramatic formations, holes, and overhangs ("swim-throughs") underwater where divers can enjoy swimming with the current through the openings. The drama of just looking up through the clear water at these huge rocks is satisfaction enough for some divers, as there are very few places like this on earth. Growing on these boulders are some of the most colorful soft corals imaginable, in many places so thick that the rock is no longer visible. In the larger passages or channels between the boulders, the fans grow to a size sometimes three meters across, and are often so tightly bunched together that it makes it impossible to swim through the passages. Most of the dive sites on the West Coast are best seen with a guide, since navigation can be tricky.
If you enjoy watching and photographing small fish, the Similans are hard to beat for the sheer numbers and varieties of tropicals especially lionfish and anemone fish. We often get an occasional whale shark, while large cow tail rays are fairly common. And, of course the most famous aquatic resident of Thailand the leopard shark makes his appearance on a regular basis. We'll also see white tip and black tip sharks once in awhile, and a few times over the years we've seen schools of pseudo orcas or false killer whales.
High season in the Similan Island is from October until May, but diving is possible all year-round. The water tends to be clearest in the summer and in the fall, but then again, the visibility is almost always good in the Similans, averaging approximately 18-25 meters and at times exceeding 40 meters!

This spring I started playing for a new soccer club as I moved to far away from my old club, which by the way also ended last fall by totally closing their women's department, so it was a good time to move! My new club, DSIO, is located just across the street where I live now, and I have had no problem settling down with my new team mates. Though we lost the two last games of the spring season, we stayed in the regional series of Funen (Fynsserien), bringing 2 points to our score in the fall tournament. This is actually quite an achievement, as I learned that the team just advanced to this series this year! Newly advanced teams usually have a hard time finding their feeds in the first season, but we managed to go through with only two lost games and three draws (out of 9 games in total), placing us in the top of the table until the last two games. We start the fall season as no. 4 of 6 teams, due to the transfer of points from the spring season, so we have to work to stay in the regional series. I should be possible though. We play each team twice, home and away, and the pool winner will advance to the national series (Danmarksserien), whereas no. 2 will go into two play-out games for possible promotion to this series as well. The number of teams that will advance to the national series depend on the number of teams from Funen that are relegated from this series, though. I don't believe that our team is qualified to play in the national series anyway, so I think that that it would be fair for us to "just" aim for the 3rd or 4th place this fall.
Today practice starts for the soccer fall season. We have had the possibility to play a bit once a week during summer, but I haven't gotten off to that, so I look forward to start again, although it was nice with the 1-month break :-)
In a previous post, I wrote about my discussion with my diabetes nurse about how to handle blood sugars during, and especially after, soccer games. We agreed that I should try wearing the pump during the games, mingling with the basals to see if that would solve the problems that I experienced in the spring season. Though I am still not that comfortable with wearing the pump during a game, I think that I ought to at least try it, and then if it doesn't really work either, I will go back to shots at least on game days – that I know how to handle!
I am not all satisfied with the fact that I will have to figure out how to wear the pump and what the adjustments of the basals should be during games only. However, as I haven't had the same issues during and after practice, I really have no choice but to try to figure the basal thing out during games. Where to wear the pump on the other hand I plan to experiment with during practices. This will probably also allow me to get an idea of the temporary basal level during at least the first part of a game (until adrenalin takes over and mess things up. My guess is that if I play a full game – 90 minutes – after approximately 30 minutes of warm-up, I will probably have to increase my basals slightly during the second half of the game, while the excitement and gearing up to hard work during warm-up and first part of the game will likely render a lower basal rate necessary). I plan on starting out with rather severe decreases of the basal rates (probably going down to at least 25-30 % of my normal rates) during the initial practices until I find the right level. In spring I went low several times during the last part of our 90-105 min. practices. This is quite annoying as the last half hour of our practices are usually devoted to games and shot practice, neither of which can be performed adequately when hypoglycaemic, but because I really want to be in those activities, I will usually end up just taking a 5 min break to swallow some glucose tabs before continuing. That is of course not ideal, I know, but I can't help it, it is so hard to accept that diabetes should interrupt in this way and keep you out of the game for 15 minutes or more.
Finally, some question for those of you pumping and playing contact sports wearing the pump: 1) Where do you typically place your pump and tubing during games and practices? 2) How much to you decrease/increase your basals during and after games? 3) How long before and after a game or practice do you run on temp basals? I know that I will have to find my own answers for these questions myself, but it doesn't hurt to listen to, and possibly learn from, other people's experience :-)

When I was first beginning to look into Catholicism, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed. The lady running the Catholic book store advised me to take one thing at a time – to take each new concept or doctrine or devotion and just sit with it. She encouraged me to just "chew on it a while" before I moved on to something else.
That was excellent advice. Many of the doctrines and practices I read about took a lot of prayer and study to grasp. One dogma I did not expect to have trouble with was the Immaculate Conception. After all, as a Protestant I fully believed that Jesus had been conceived immaculately – that is by the power of the Holy Spirit and born to a virgin. But much to my surprise, that's not what the Immaculate Conception is. The Immaculate conception actually refers to…okay, don't freak out…Mary's conception. The Immaculate Conception is the belief that Mary was conceived free from original sin aaaaaaand that she remained free from sin throughout her life
This came as quite a shock to me. I mean I knew Catholics were big on Mary, but I didn't know they thought she was sinless. It was at this point in my conversion process that I almost bolted. But I followed the bookstore lady's advice and just sat with it for a while. And I read and read and read. Here's what I learned
- Catholics do not believe that Mary is divine. I'd heard that Catholics worship Mary, and the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception certainly seemed to confirm these rumors. But a belief in Mary's sinlessness does not mean a belief that she is divine. In fact, she wasn't even the first person God created sinless. Adam and Eve were also created in a state of sanctifying grace. Even though Mary's Immaculate conception was a gift from God, she was actually just created to live in the same state that we were all created to live in before the fall of man. We tend to think of Mary as having some sort of superhuman gift, and the gift of her Immaculate Conception is no doubt incredible, but in reality, she was just created to be what all humans were meant to be.
- Mary needed a savior. In her Magnificat (Luke 1: 46-55), Mary proclaims, "My spirit rejoices in God my savior." So yes, Mary needed a savior. The difference between Mary and the rest of us is that God saved her before her fall. The rest of us were saved after our fall. The website Catholic Answers explains it something like this: If a man is walking through the woods falls into a pit, and I reach down and pull him out, I have saved the man from the pit. On the other hand, if a different man is walking through the woods, and I yell, "Hey! Look out for that pit." I have also saved that man from the pit. I just saved him before he fell. God saved Mary. But he saved her before her fall.
- Mary was given this special grace because she is the Ark of the New Covenant. In the Old Testament, the Ark of the Covenant was God's dwelling place. God came to the people of Israel in and through the Ark. When Jesus came into the world to be God With Us, He came through Mary. God prepared a special dwelling for himself when He came into the world. For a much more in depth look at this teaching go here.
- The Immaculate Conception is Biblical. When the Angel Gabriel greeted Mary as "full of grace," he meant it. Catholic Answers explains it this way…The grace given to Mary is at once permanent and of a unique kind. Kecharitomene is a perfect passive participle of charitoo, meaning "to fill or endow with grace." Since this term is in the perfect tense, it indicates that Mary was graced in the past but with continuing effects in the present. So, the grace Mary enjoyed was not a result of the angel's visit. In fact, Catholics hold, it extended over the whole of her life, from conception onward. She was in a state of sanctifying grace from the first moment of her existence.
The Immaculate Conception is indeed a challenging dogma, especially without all the facts and a full understanding of the teaching. But once I came to realize depth and beauty of the Immaculate Conception, it made perfect sense – just like all of God's plans.
Immaculate Mary, pray for us.

Recently passed legislation ensures recently discharged Veterans, and their eligible dependents, will not have to bear the burden of out-of-state tuition rates while using their well-deserved education benefits.
For terms beginning after July 1, 2015, schools will be required to charge in-state rates and fee amounts to "covered individuals" who are:
To qualify for the Post 9/11 GI Bill or Montgomery GI Bill, members should first complete the Application for VA Benefits online.
The following items must be submitted to the Financial Aid Office:
Individuals who initially meet the requirements above will maintain "covered individual" status as long as they remain continuously enrolled at the institution of higher learning (summer enrollment is not required), even if they are outside the 3-year window or enroll in multiple programs. While VACA students will be eligible for in-state tuition rates, they will not be eligible for the BOG fee waiver.
Certification of VA benefits will also need to be completed each semester of attendance by submitting an updated Request for VA Benefits.
For more information, email firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also contact the Department of Veterans Affairs at (888)GIBILL-1 or by visiting their website, www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.

TropicalFish.hu link exchangeWhether you're from Hungary or speak Hungarian, feel free to visit TropicalFish.hu - aquarium plants, tropical plants, tropical fish.
The golden rule before actually buying your tank is to think first, get an idea in your head of what fish etc. that you wish to keep. Researching these fish will tell you which size of tank will be best for your and your fishes needs. The size of the tank will determine which accessories you will need for the tank as they all range in power ratings dependant on water volumes. quite expensive.
sponsored linksYou are now the proud owner of a new tank, at this stage you will already have an idea in your head of which fish you are going to add. Basically there are three main setups that you have to choose from, coldwater, tropical, or saltwater. There are smaller variations that are a bit of a mix from the main three but for now these will be the easiest to explain.
If you have decided to go for a coldwater setup then there will be no need to heat the water to a temperature to suit the fish. Many fish keepers will start off with this set up to gain some experience before venturing onto the other two.
If you are keeping tropical or saltwater, a heater is a must. All fish species have preferred temperatures that they like to live in, always research your fish before you buy. The heaters that are used in fish tanks are very easy to use. They consist of a submersible glass tube that contains an element to heat the water; this is controlled by a thermostat which will normally be built into the heater. There is a dial on top of the heater that allows you to set the correct temperature, the heater is placed in the water and then plugged in, it may take a few hours for the water to warm up but that is quite normal. You will probably find that the temperature may not be exactly the same as the temperature that you have set, this is also quite normal, a small adjustment up or down will rectify this. There are more expensive heaters on the market that have separate thermostats and are made from titanium casings, but for most tanks a standard heater is sufficient. You are probably asking yourself now, how do I know what the water temperature is and what size heater should I be using?
The size of the heater required does depend on the water volume of the tank, at the pet stores the packaging for the heaters should display a table with all the information but a quick guide is tanks of 25 liters will only need a 50 watt heater, whereas a tank of 100 liters will need a heater of 200 watts. Exterior room temperature will have an effect on the temperature inside the tank as well.

After discovering that XmlAttachments had a AddProperties method, I thought of this script as a way to use it.
- Requirements:
- Small edit to TreasureMap.cs
This is a deed or tool to decode treasure maps without requiring skill or chance.
It checks if the TMap has already been opened by yourself or someone else, as well as if it's completed and of course the usual backpack check.
What it does
-Double click the item and target a treasure map
-If the decode is successful, it will tell you that map and coordinates of the treasure chest.
Pretty awesome for players that don't like to figure out where that darn pin is pointing.
The script is drag and drop, except for one minor addition to TreasureMap.cs
in the GetProperties method add this line at the end of the method
Code (C#):
- public override void GetProperties(ObjectPropertyList list)
- {
- base.GetProperties(list);
- list.Add(m_Map == Map.Felucca ? 1041502 : 1041503); // for somewhere in Felucca : for somewhere in Trammel
- if (m_Completed)
- {
- list.Add(1041507, m_CompletedBy == null ? "someone" : m_CompletedBy.Name); // completed by ~1_val~
- }
- //Added
- Server.Engines.XmlSpawner2.XmlAttach.AddAttachmentProperties(this, list);
- //Added
- }

In these very dire times for the Newcastle United Football club, at least the fans are doing all they can to support the lads, and that's just fantastic to see.
This is Newcastle United Football Club
The lads will have the backing of a sold-out away end for Saturday's season-opener at West Bromwich Albion and the Hawthorns.
The Newcastle fans, as faithful as ever, have snapped up the few remaining tickets of their 2,700 allocation for the televised clash at The Hawthorns, which has 5:30 pm kick off time this Saturday.
Newcastle, when some would think the support would be dying away, have seen really magnificent support from their fans in the pre-season, and it warms the heart to see the lads being so well supported, when the club is facing so many problems.
Stand-in boss Chris Hughton, who is also doing his level best in a very bad situation, told the Newcastle official site today:
"We can't thank the fans enough for their support in recent weeks."
"The players appreciate that backing and hope that, when the season starts, they can give them something to shout about."
The support has been phenomenal and its in these bad times when the character of the fans really shines through. We thank the brave lads and lasses who are supporting the team right now. With support like this, surely success on the field cannot be that far away, but yes, there's a definite hope in those words, to be sure. 😀
Hey, the players are very appreciative and maybe they can even give us a win on Saturday – that would be something great to celebrate, after all the misery we've been through this year.
Here's hoping.
Howay The Lads!!

guess who !
Is that you main aim in life, to be the first on every blog that Ed posts??
What a sad exsistance you must lead, don't you have a gf or wife 😉
It wouldn't be too bad if you actually posted something of interest, instead of just trying to be 1st!!
Anyway, no doubt the fans will turn up in there thousands week in, week out but no matter how much we support our beloved club, all we're doing is lining Ashleys pockets with our well earned money!!
I doubt it will make him seel the club any faster but at least we'll still support the players, even if they can't be arsed & only turn up for their wages!!
Apologies if it has been already posted but this is a great article and sadly too true for a lot of people
brownrob – I get the Express so saw that this morning. To be honest Mick Dennis hates Newcastle with a vengeance and i think it's just another excuse to have a go at us. He is a poisonous and spiteful excuse for a human being as far as I am concerned, and this article is in very bad taste. Dyer may have had the odd fall out with Robson, but that doesn't mean that he didn't like the man or respect him, and I'm sure he's geuninely saddened that he has passed away. As for the fans, I for one thought Robson was losing the plot a bit near the end in terms of signings and his treatment of certain players, but that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate what he did for the club and respect him for the man he was, and like most fans I was very upset to hear that he died.

…might seem like a daft question Macas, but why do you buy the Express? 🙂
With reference to that article though, I couldn't believe the sh1te that Kieron Dyer came out with in his mini-tribute – made me cringe.
I like the rest of us are very pessimistic when it comes to the takoever but there could be a positive spin to this.
Why if there is no sale in the pipeline has Ashley not appointed a manager? Even a temp manager. He did that last time didn't he?
He saw how poor the team were last season when Hughton was in charge and must surely know it will be more of the same this season.
The only common sense reason behind this is that Ashley is under the impression that the sale is immenant.
But then again Common sense, Football and Mike Ashley don't necessarily go hand in hand……
Just my positive thought iof the day.
The whole bottom line here is newcastle will not be sold and anybody else to think we will daft because if they really was anybody going to buy this club it would have been sold weeks ago so dont believe all this crap in the papers they are just makeing alaughing stock out of us and for us to stay up this season we are going to need luck alot of it to be honest i think we will and up like leeds doomed even though i dont like to say it we are ashley wont be able to see the reason being whos going to but a championship team for a £100 million and plus a £164million in dedt no one thats and there is only man that would manager this club and that is shearer but no other manager would touch us with a bargepoll it is simple as that so this is what i dont understand why all the fans still wanting to go to the games as yous all keep lineing ashley pockets and if anyone says that iam not a proper supporter iam not bothered because i no iam i just dont see the point of paying all that money to watch overpaid overated players kick a ball about and to pour loads of money into fat ashley pocket because all we get is lies and more lies so i give and i will only return when we get a new owen which i thinks it might be sometime next christmas if lucky.
Looking forward to the WBA game – taking my son down for the match and then off back to Nigeria for work.
Just hope we dont get a bad start, heads go down and we let 6 in, in which case we could be in relegation trouble by November.
Praying for the team to perform as a team, to fight for each other for the full 90 minutes and we have a chance of 3 points which will lift the players and us fans.
The quicker MA gets the sale completed the better we will all be. It WILL happen, keep the faith!!!!
I got my tickets for the home game v sheff wed. I live down in sheff now so im up with a few wed fans so should be good banter on way home!! At least i get to go to a few more games this season which is the only crum of comfort for me.
Where did the rumours of an announcement today/tomorrow come from?
I hope everyone has their ticket for the Reading game and that it is a 52000 sell out in celebration of Sir Bobby Robson's life, its time to put aside ownership issues and to show the footballing world what Sir Bobby meant to this region and what the fans are about. Its needs to be a carnival, make sure it is!!!
Stuart79. Very true… Houghton is pretty impressively bad – even as a stand-in for a stand-in.
Having said that – Shearer was even worse than Houghton last season and I think Ashley could move to give wor al the job if he can't sell. So he's hardly to be trusted.
Heaven forbid Newcastle United ever appoint a suitable manager.
Rod, no diamond billionaires mate, but one of the guys I work for can afford to buy the club without using a bank loan to do it. I have been trying to get him interested, but to no avail. Its not his scene and doesnt generate big enough profits for him to get involved!!
Shame really, he's an ace bloke as well. Will just have to win euromillions this week and take a punt myself lol.
