Collaborative Mural Captures Values and Themes from the 2016 Michigan Good Food Summit!
Do you know an organization that would like to own and display the Michigan Good Food Summit mural? Keep reading to find out how you can nominate and vote for a business or organization to receive the mural!
November 4, 2016
What started out as a blank canvas was filled up with words and images by many of the nearly 500 people at the 2016 Michigan Good Food Summit, held October 28, 2016 at the Kellogg Center in East Lansing. At the end of the day, the eight foot by eight foot mural stood tall as a visual depiction of the values underlying "Good Food for All: The Road to 2020," the theme of this year's conference.
During the opening session at this year's Summit, event facilitator Stephen Arellano invited everyone to take some time to meet someone new and then contribute a word or image to the mural reflecting a core value they heard from their new acquaintance. Throughout the day, attendees made further additions based on themes and values in the day's talks, videos and performances – from the light-hearted shout out to the SEEDS youth musical performance "Fruit salad! Yeah!" to the calls to "Listen to one another" and "Meet the community where it's at."
Now is your chance to help determine a home for the mural! Nominations submitted at the Summit were: Detroit's Eastern Market, Grand Traverse Food Innovation Hub, Flint Farmers Market, Samaritan Center (Detroit), New City Neighbors, Muskegon Farmers Markets, the Michigan State University Student Organic Farm and not yet specified locations in Lake County and Marquette.
We are now opening up the collection of nominations for five more days – through Wednesday, November 9! To submit, complete this online form, including an organization name, location and contact person.
Once the nomination process is complete, and we've had a chance to follow-up with the organizations nominated on their interest and ability to receive the mural, we'll open up an online voting process through Facebook. Stay tuned!
Special thanks to Cynthia Price with Greater Grand Rapids Food Systems Council and Lindsey Scalera of the Ecology Center, for their efforts in planning and preparing the mural.

Lathe roughing cycle G71, G72 <LATHEROUGH>
<LATHEROUGH(401)> canned cycle G71 performs roughing machining of the workpiece by the given part shape. F, S and T commands in the G71 line or already set before G71 line are used in the lathe roughing cycle G71. G71 cycle handles two mahining trajectory types. If in the programmed trajectory the X axis doesn't change it's direction, then it's the first type trajectory (type I). The second trajectory type (type II) allows the change of the X axis direction. The Z axis direction must not change for both types.
G73 canned cycle is similar to G71, but is used to machine part face.
The last motion for both cycles is the return to the starting S position. As shown on the image S is the tool position when the cycle was called.
Lathe cycles assume the part programmed contour PQ is defined. SprutCAM passes the contour as NC-subroutine. The number of the subroutine is specified in the <CLD[3]> parameter.
If the parameter CLD[12]=1, then after roughing cycle G71 or G72 can be caused by a finishing pass along the contour - G70 cycle.
If a "signed" parameter is positive it is laid off in the positive direction of respective axis, otherwise it is laid off in negative direction.

You know that Winter skin? Dry, uncomfortable, dull? I don't! ;)
I was lucky enough to be asked to review, two of the most incredible products this Winter and I have been left wanting more. They do come with quite a price tag (understandably so) and even still, I will make sure that these two creams become part of my daily beauty regime.
I am religious when it comes to my beauty regime and there has been no better way to start the day with none other than "The Day" cream. It is delicate and light, and leaves an invisible veil of infinite comfort. It keeps my skin feeling hydrated and elastic, ALL DAY!
The main active Ingredients are:
CAVIAR EXTRACT: Helps revitalize cell renewal, contributes to nourishing and replenishing the skin's minerals.
MARINE COLLAGEN: Envelops the skin and increases cell cohesiveness, giving the skin greater resistance and better comfort.
Soft, supple and fresh, the skin becomes radiant.
Pretty radiant, don't you agree?
I posted on Instagram that "The Night" cream is my little pot of gold at the end of the day, and it really is. It smells incredible and I genuinely get excited to clean my face and apply my moisturiser before bed.
THE NIGHT is a true "revitalizer" treatmentfor nocturnal cutaneous renewal. Thanks to the caviar extract, an extraordinary source of vital elements with strong regenerative powers, it helps to revitalize the skin.
Night after night it helps the skin to look soft and silky.
Its main active ingredients include:
CAVIAR EXTRACT: Helps to revitalize the cell renewal, contributes to nourish and to replenish the skin's minerals.
SHEA BUTTER: A fat derived from the seeds of a tree found in Sudan and Mali whose fruit is edible. Possesses softening, anti-drying and protective effects, nourrishes the skin thanks to its vitamin A and F, improves skin tissue regeneration.
TAMARIND EXTRACT: Stimulates the cell renewal, fights against free radicals and avoids wrinkles' formation.
MARINE GLYCOGEN: Dermosaccharides – gives the skin the energy needed to accelerate its renewal. A principle of natural restoration is taking place during the night and all asset-based on regeneration and cell renewal becomes effective.
Out of 10, I would gladly give these two products a 12. I can't recommend them more highly. My skin is feeling and looking incredible and if ageing gracefully is something that you prioritize, these products are for you.
If you would like more information or would like to buy them you can call Matis Rosebank on 011 447 5055/75/76. Or visit them in store, Shop 2, The Firs. Rosebank.

Finneran: Life, Liberty, and All That Stuff
Friday, July 28, 2017
Thus starts the Declaration of Independence, an utterly remarkable document of rights, reverence, and revolution.
It's been a tough few weeks for the Declaration's central point about the equality of all, about certain unalienable rights, and most especially about "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness". Truth be told, there has never been an easy time for that life and liberty stuff. Tyrants abound.
This week's victims of tyranny live oceans away. But the lessons of their tortured lives apply to America, that remarkable land of the free and home of the distracted.
Our national specialty may well be the pursuit of happiness, which for most of us means blithely ignoring the morally hideous crimes committed against large chunks of humanity.
One such crime has entered its final stages. In Great Britain, home of the Magna Carta, officials have denied a request from the parents of a little boy named Charlie Gard to bring him to the United States for experimental medical treatment.
There is no medical dispute that little Charlie is a very sick child. There is similarly little argument that the experimental medical treatment is an extreme long shot. But the controversy here is not about Charlie's chances for life. Rather, the controversy is about who gets to make the call.
Should it be Charlie's parents, by all accounts caring, concerned, and loving parents? Or should it be "officials"---nay, state bureaucrats---who deem the experimental treatment as not effective, and therefore deem Charlie as disposable?
Apparently we are all supposed to genuflect to the wisdom of judges judging "scientifically". I choose not to. I genuflect to the parents instead, as they are the ones in the best position to decide their son's fate.
There is no question here of parental abuse. Nor is there a question of gross indifference or denial of care. Indeed, the opposite is true. Charlie's parents want to try a medical Hail Mary against impossible odds. Finally, there is no question here of the selfish exhaustion of limited medical resources. Charlie's parents have raised money as well received offers from an American doctor to provide the experimental treatment for free. Yet none of that matters to the bureaucrats whose wisdom knows no bounds.
The grotesquely mis-named European Court of Human Rights has uttered its grotesque opinion that death is in the best interest of the child. All rise, all bow, our masters have spoken. As one commentator has remarked, this is "barbarism disguised as mercy". Europe's once-celebrated culture has become a culture of death, placing more value on the Benz in the driveway than the baby in the crib. Shame upon that culture. So much for Life.
The second item in the Declaration's renowned trilogy is Liberty. Let's jump across the Pacific Ocean to the ugly and brutal regime of Communist China. Don't ever be fooled by the dollar-chasing madness of corporate America. Grovelling at the feet of thugs comes easily to American businesses. After all, they must hit a bottom line in order to satisfy another wretched interest group---the titans of Wall Street.
If any of these masters of the universe are aware of the savage imprisonment and treatment of Liu Xiaobo they have managed to hide it. Their silence makes them complicit in his looming death. Liu of course is only one of hundreds, probably thousands of political prisoners of this horrid Communist regime. His crime? He simply seeks democracy, which is apparently most intolerable to the smiling cultured Chinese leg-breakers.
Liu will die shortly, in prison of course, giving the Chinese leadership a two-fer in their squelching of both Life and Liberty.
Give the Chinese thugs credit---they've figured out that without Life and Liberty there's no chance for any pursuit of Happiness. So say a prayer for Charlie Gard and Liu Xiaobo. You're all they have, as their allegedly protective and preening governments have turned savagely upon them. Barbarism wins again.
For shame.
NOTE: This column was written in early July, before Liu Xiaobo died on July 13th of this year. He is mourned by lovers of liberty around the world.

Creole Fashion FabricsFashion Show
Bonjour, Bel Bonjou!! It's incredible to think that I, Ghislaine now have two fashion shows under my belt. Such an experience! I am developing skills and increasing my sewing and design knowledge alongside organising a show. Last year theme was "Textile and Senses" in purple to celebrate Success and Achievements of the community. This year was about creole culture and I draw inspiration from my mum in the 1965 in her gingham dress to look at a retrospective of the fabrics that made Creole fashion.
Click the photos to browse the gallery
"Creole Fashion Fabrics"
Madras and cotton
The bright checked fabrics is Madras, a traditional lightweight cotton fabric with typically patterned texture and plaid design. The fabric takes its name from the former name of the city of Chennai in India. The skirt is cotton, a staple fabric. For the anecdote this skirt was my practice skirt for Episode 1 of the Sewing Bee. I finally got a use out of it. The back of the skirt is a traditional cut. Loads of box pleats which create a small waist and a bum. I never do things in a traditional way. This couple' outfit has a heavy twist on the traditional fashion in Martinique.
- The back of the male shirt is normally seen at the back of the female blouse in the form of a scarf down the back.
- The lining of the female skirt made in "broderlie Anglaise" is normally an underlay of her skirt.
- The fascinator is the work of Milliner Vivienne Go and also a modern twist on the traditional head gear.

There's so much that your family and you will undoubtedly be considering, down to the colour of the ceilings. There's the architectural work that may inevitably be needed, the plumbing, the electrics, the decorating and that is before you have considered what fixtures and comforts will fill the modified section of your home.
Carrying out a loft conversion, the additional space may be used being a separate bathroom or two, a study or home business office, an extra room or possibly a room. Or you'll be able to contemplate putting an en-suite or individual dressing-room attached to a master suite, Loft Extension Cost in Westminster. Simple Dormers are preferred by organizers in preservation areas. If granted, two of those may be used to improve space and include symmetry.

Future consumers can assume at least one toilet as well as a showerroom on a 4 or 5 room house and the value is going to be restricted.
With an increase of individuals working from home, studies have become an extremely common motive to extend. ?We have a lot of clients who would like a workspace which can be hidden away in the fold of a lever,' says Guy. ?Many individuals upgrading the rear of your home while the main living space, and are likewise converting rooms into an office at the front of your home. Consequently, having your audio-visual plasma-screen, gear, illumination and Wi Fi built-into the composition is really a brilliant idea.'
Professional Extensions: the extension, is the first thing you have to consider's purpose. Is that this extension for a chic showroom or for more workplace offices?

I just typed "THE END" on page 321 of my manuscript.
I think I'm in shock.
I didn't get to 100,000 words, but the story reached its natural ending. My total word count is 95,085. It doesn't really feel like I finished the story because there are so many changes that I have to make, so much backstory and so many scenes to add. For this reason, I am confident that I will most certainly get to 100,000 words by the time I'm submitting the polished final draft.
Still. "The End." Holy cow.
I just wrote a novel.

Population genetic study of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)
Hisaaki Akaza,Yoshiki Morimitsu, Shuhei Hayaishi, Shizuka Kawai, Azusa
Saito, Sakie Kawamoto
We conduct evolutionary studies of Japanese macaques by testing genetic
variations of microsatellite markers on autosomes and Y chromosome among
local populations. Recently, we investigated contrast between those
markers and mitochondrial DNA variations in Tohoku region. An isolated
population in Shimokita Peninsula indicated a sign of ancient population
bottleneck. We reported this finding recently (Kawamoto et al., Primates
49: 32-40, 2008).
Under Cooperative Research Programs at KUPRI, we conducted
field studies in Yamagata, Toyama, Nagano, Hyogo prefectures in 2007. We
compared mtDNA diversity between hypervariable regions 1 and 2 and found a
number of molecular variants specifically occurred in the study sites.
Those new variants are informative in the phylogeographic assessment of
Japanese macaques.

Phylogenetic study of Asian macaques
Yuzuru Hamada, Mohammed Mostafa Feeroz, Kamrul Mohammed Hasan, Tashi Wangchuk
We held an international symposium entitled "Evolution and Diversity of
Macaques: Research Progress and Prospects" in February 2008 in Inuyama,
Japan. More than 50 researchers and students shared discussion about recent
studies on macaques as well as conservation issues.
A short-term field survey was conducted in September 2007 in Bhutan to do an
extension survey of comparative studies on Assamese macaques (Macaca
assamensis) and Arunachal macaques (Macaca munzala), a newly reported
from India.

A filed survey was conducted in November-December 2007 in Bangladesh to do
observation and characterization of rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). We
published the results of population genetic study in 2005 (Feeroz et al.,
Primates 49: 69-72, 2008).

An introduced population of longtail macaques (Macaca fascicularis) on
Mauritius are broadly used in recent biomedical researches. We reported their
genetic characteristics based on filed sampling on the island (Kawamoto et al.,
J. Med. Primatol. 37: 45-54, 2008).
Study on hybridization of macaques
Azusa Saito, Kei Shirai
We succeeded in Y chromosome typing with microsatellite markers in order to
conduct genetic monitoring of hybridization and male dispersal for introduced
populations of foreign macaques in Japan.
We published the results of genetic monitoring for an introduced rhesus
population in Chiba prefecture (Kawamoto et al., Primate Research 23: 81-89,
2007, in Japanese).
We presented a review of current status of hybridizing
populations of macaques in Japan both at PSJ (Primate Society Japan)
meeting in July 2007 and an international symposium in February 2008.

Genetic study on lemurs of Madagascar
We have analyzed microsatellite DNA variations in six social
groups of ring-tailed lemurs at Berenty Private Reserve in
Madagascar. Reproductive success of group members are evaluated
based on long-term observations and genotyping.

Domestication and phylogeny of domesticated animals
Tetsuya Inamura, Tashi Dorji, Yoshio Yamamoto
We visited the ruins of 'la Shicra', newly found in central Peru, in
August 2007 and inspected animal bones excavated from the ruins for the
study of domestication of camelids. We orally reported recent progress
of research in academic meetings in Japan.
We visited Bhutan in November 2007 to discuss research
plan for Mithun, a form of domesticated bovine, and to learn the
progress of its genetic study in Bhutan.

Animal lore of primates
Under financial support from the Toyota Foundation, we
conducted a questionnaire investigation for UMAYAZARU (stable
monkeys), the custom of enshrining monkey remains for the purpose
of praying for good harvest and the good health of cattle and
horses. People have associated this custom, thought to have
originated on the Asian continent, to Japanese macaques. This
custom may have nurtured a unique view of nature and an outlook on
life through its establishment in the daily life of people.
We could get answers from a total of 1320 sites in 18
prefectures to the questionnaires. Skulls or hand bones of
UMAYAZARU seem to be disappearing quickly now in Japan and the
investigation revealed difference in the remaining condition of
substance (bone) and belief in Japan. We began on-the-spot
investigation to do interviewing to the owners of UMAYAZARU in
northern Tohoku, Kii Peninsula and Chugoku Region.

Bailey Gwynne: Youth culture's 'rebellion and gangs' means 'weapon crime goes unreported'
KATE Gwynne waved her son Bailey off to school on a cold Wednesday morning – but that was the last time she ever saw him alive again.
The tragic 16-year-old was stabbed at Cults Academy in Aberdeen by another pupil after a row over a biscuit at lunchtime escalated.
A jury found the killer — who cannot be named for legal reasons — guilty of culpable homicide, the Scottish equivalent of manslaughter.
He was cleared of the original murder charge.
But today the teenager was detained for nine years at the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh.
The court heard how the pupil brought a folding knife with an 8cm blade into the academy, one of Scotland's top-performing state schools.
Shocking figures released this week show UK police arrested 1,549 children as young as 10 for suspected firearm, air weapon or imitation gun crimes in the past three years.
Home Office stats also show almost 50 kids under 10, including a five-year-old, have been granted shotgun licences in the past five years.
"Reducing the opportunities for knife crime is difficult given that youth culture is about rebellion and every year the stakes to create rebellion get higher"Professor Chris Kemp
Experts have also warned knife crime in young people is more widespread than we think and often gets unreported to police.
Professor Chris Kemp, director of security firm Mind over Matter consultancy, told Daily Star Online: "An average of 19% of crimes reported to the police are not recorded [in official police statistics].
"With knife crime, so many incidents go unreported due to fear of reprisals or it makes up part of gang involvement.
"Over the year to the end of June 2012 there were 19,382 disposals given for possession of a knife or offensive weapon. Juveniles (aged 10-17) were the offenders in 17% of cases. The custody rate was 10% for juveniles and 28% for adults."
Teacher Ann Maguire was fatally stabbed in a classroom in Leeds, West Yorks., in April 2014 by a pupil. The mum's evil killer was sentenced to life later that year.
Since Mrs Maguire's horror fatal stabbing, schools in the UK have been on red alert and tightened security.
Schools are increasingly installing metal detectors, knife arches and even getting staff to search pupils as they arrive in the morning.
But pupils, parents, teachers and experts have still been left rocked following Bailey's death.
Prof Kemp, a former lecturer at Buckinghamshire New University, added: "Reducing the opportunities for knife crime is difficult given that youth culture is about rebellion and every year the stakes to create rebellion get higher.
"The increase in gangs and the need to belong in a society which focuses on a reduction in human interaction is difficult and we need to get back to basics to properly educate those at primary and secondary school in the art of conversation, social interaction and the integration of those at risk into the community to make them feel that they belong.
"For far too long we have exposed the youngest in society to crime through video games, films and TV programmes which create a feeling of invincibility and that there will be no repercussions for their actions."
Tony Blockley, lecturer in the Psychology of Criminal Investigation at the University of Derby told Daily Star Online: "Accountability and responsibility are low on the levels of priority for inner city kids and we need to support them in developing a sense of right and wrong and how the boundaries can be set."
"It's absolutely devastating that anyone should lose a life, let alone a child in a school. This was a tragedy, however it was an uncommon incident for schools in the UK and it's important to remember that the vast majority of children and young people enjoy their education in a safe environment.
"Education is crucial to prevent this sort of incident happening again. Both schools and parents have a role to play in making sure that children really understand the dangers and devastating consequences that carrying a knife can bring."
A recent report found teenagers spend on average a whopping nine hours every day on social media, and parents and teachers are concerned how the internet is harming young people.
Steve Hill, technical director at Opendium, an online security safety company for schools, told Daily Star Online: "Over the past few years it has become increasingly important for schools to monitor the students' internet usage.
"So much of everyone's lives are now online that a student's internet activity can provide early warning signs to staff."
Department for Education (DFE) is responsible for issues affecting people aged up to 19 in England, including child protection.
A DFE spokesman said: "Schools are safe places and fortunately crime in schools is very rare. We are clear that weapons have no place in schools and any incident that does occur is unacceptable.
"That's why we have put teachers back in charge of discipline and made clear that they can take action if they suspect a pupil has brought prohibited items including knives into school."
He continued: "Teachers can search pupils without consent, confiscate prohibited items and use reasonable force to remove disruptive pupils from the classroom when necessary.
"We have also given heads the final say on exclusions by removing the right of appeals panels to put pupils back in the classroom against the best interests of the school."

Having problems on your Chromebook, Chromecast, or other Chrome OS device? We've got all the major problems that Chrome users have come across, and the solutions that make them go away.
Before we get started, a quick word on Chrome to save you some time. Because Google juggles the Chrome browser, the Chrome OS, and Chromium OS, terms can grow a little confusing. The Chrome operating system is a unique OS that is most often found in the lightweight Chromebooks and Chrome computer sticks. This is easy to confuse with the open source Chromium OS, which is a free OS project that began when Google opened up Chrome's code to create a big user base of free software for Chrome across a variety of devices.
Chrome OS is based on web apps, so it's also hard to tell the difference between the OS and the Chrome browser when using a Chromebook – functionally, they are the same thing. The big difference is that the Chrome browser can be downloaded as a separate app on any computer. This browser has many of the same capabilities, but it is not technically the OS.
There has been some discussion on whether Google will retire all this Chrome stuff for a greater focus on Android, but the company has assured users that Chrome OS will remain very much active and evolving. With that out of the way, pick your problem from the list below, or click on the next page to get started!
Major Issues
Problem: Chrome OS is running very slowly
- Because Chromebooks are usually ultrabook-like laptops with diminutive specs, your computer's memory may not be able to keep up with your typical pace. Try closing a few apps or browser windows and see if Chrome OS becomes more responsive – that indicates a RAM issue and means you may be running your Chromebook too hard.
- Chrome OS will also slow down if it's a few updates behind. These OS updates help improve efficiency, fix problems, and increase performance. Fortunately, Chrome makes it easy to see if there is an update waiting in the wings. Look at the status section where you see your Google account picture or icon: Here you should see the System Update Icon, which looks like an arrow. Select this arrow, and then choose the option to Restart to update. This will of course reboot your ultrabook, so make sure all your projects are at a good stopping place first.
- Sometimes the System Update Icon will not always appear to let you know about updates. You can check for available updates at any time by heading over to the status section with your account icon, and clicking Settings (it looks like a cog). From there choose About Chrome OS, which will open a new window. Choose Check for and apply updates to make doubly sure that you have everything needed for an efficient OS.
- Remember that Chrome OS loves the cloud and runs apps directly from the web, so your Internet connection may be to blame for a general slowdown. Check your Internet speed and experiment with other devices to see if its your connection that is the problem. You can loosen up some of the bandwidth by turning off automatic Google Drive syncing: Head over to Settings, make sure you are in the General tab, and look for an option to Sync Google Docks, Sheets, Slides & Drawings. Make sure the box is unchecked.
- Chrome OS offers a variety of extensions you can download to add new tools or change functionality. Unfortunately, if extensions are too old, numerous, complex, or poorly designed then they can create serious slowdowns. It can be difficult to pinpoint which extensions are at fault, but you can see a list of your current downloaded extensions by opening the Chrome menu in your toolbar, and selecting More Tools, which should give you a number of options – pick Extensions. This will open a new window that lists all of your extensions and whether or not they are enabled. You can uncheck the boxes to disable any extension. Try your more recent extensions first to see if this fixes your speed problem. If not, go through them one at a time – and delete those you no longer need.
Problem: Chrome OS is frequently crashing for no discernible reason
- Do you find that your Chrome machine freezes, randomly shuts down, or suddenly closes every window for no reason? These crashes can be very annoying, but resetting your Chromebook can fix this problem. Start by making sure all your information is saved to Google Drive or wherever else you'd like to store it in the cloud: This will fully reset your Chrome OS settings, including your user profiles, Wi-Fi settings, and any files saved to your hard drive – it's basically a full wipe. When you are ready, head over to your status area to access the Settings From here, choose Advanced Settings, and look for the section called Powerwash. Here, choose Reset, then choose Restart and enter your Google Account information. Note that you should only do this with a personal Chromebook, not a work or school version.
- While a full Powerwash will often solve your problem, it may be too drastic a step for you. If you want to start smaller, we suggest you look through your extensions. You can see a list of your current downloaded extensions by opening the Chrome menu in your toolbar, and selecting More Tools, which should give you a number of options – pick Extensions. This will open a new window that lists all of your extensions and whether or not they are enabled. You can uncheck the boxes to disable any extension. Recent or suspicious extensions may be causing your crashes, so try deleting them and see if things improve before going for a full reset.
Problem: I can't make a second screen connection work
- Trying to get a second screen presentation going but running into problems? Chromebooks are generally friendly toward monitor connections – as long as you are connecting the right cable to the right ports (HDMI, DVI, VGA, or DisplayPort, depending on your Chrome device), the connection should be largely automatic.
- You can check for settings problems or other issues by heading over to the status area and looking for the external display section, which typically shows a notification about the connection and an icon of two windows. Click on this and choose Manage Displays. This will give you a number of options to rotate your image, center the image, check the TV alignment, and send the image to multiple screens. See if any of these can help solve your problem.
Problem: Chrome keeps shutting itself down and restarting on its own
- This is a serious error that indicates a problem with the operating system. It may be accompanied by an ominous "Chrome OS is missing or damaged" message. If this happens, you are going to need to fully recover your Chromebook, which means a bit of work. A recovery attempts to save as much data from your current OS as possible. You will need your Chromebook, a separate computer with access to the Chrome browers, and a portable SD or USB drive for saving data.
- With these tools ready, go download the Chromebook Recovery Utility on your separate, functioning computer. This extension will walk you through the process. Launch it and it will prompt you to create a recovery media that you can use to temporarily transfer data and settings. Follow the instructions carefully and use your storage device to move settings to the Recovery Utility and fully reset your Chromebook while keeping as much of you data safe as possible.
Problem: Instead of loading web pages, I get weird error messages
- If Chrome cannot properly load a web page, it will give you an odd "aw snap!" error that means the web page tried to load but crashed instead. If this is happening all the time, then something is wrong with your operating system or your settings. One of the easiest and hopefully effective solutions is to start closing browser tabs and windows. If closing a few tabs finally allows you to open a new one, then you have reached beyond your Chromebook's RAM limits and need to slow down.
- Restart your Chromebook. Don't worry, this doesn't wipe settings like a reset. The easiest way is to simply to go to your status area, and choose the Power button (you can do this manually too if necessary). Then use the physical power button to turn your machine back on.
- Once again, we must visit the problem of failing extensions, which may just not be cooperating properly with the web pages you are trying to visit. Head over to the main menu (with several horizontal lines), select More Tools, and go to Extensions. Uncheck all your extensions and see if this solves the problem. If it does, enable extensions again one at a time to find out where the troublemakers are, and delete them.
Problem: I tried updating Chrome OS, but got error messages afterward
- Start by checking your Internet connection. Ideally, you will have a strong Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. Don't use your data connection for updates! It will run through your monthly data and often causes these error messages.
- Restart your Chromebook. Simply press the power button to shut down (after making sure all your current work is finished), and then when the Chromebook is fully shut down, press the power button again to restart. This helps deal with some of the update errors.
Problem: I'm trying to download an important update, but it won't work
- If you have tried to download the same update several times and it refuses to even start, then you need to try rebooting your Chromebook. The easiest way to do this is to simply restart by turning your Chromebook off with the power button and then turning it back on again.
- If this doesn't solve the problem, then you need to reset your Chromebook. This will wipe away your settings and hard drive, so make sure everything is saved to the cloud first. When you are ready, head over to your status area to access the Settings From here, choose Advanced Settings, and look for the section called Powerwash. Here, choose Reset, then choose Restart and enter your Google Account information. Note that you should only do this with a personal Chromebook, not a work or school version.
Other problems
Problem: I can't hear anything on Chrome OS
- First, check for any obvious but sometimes unnoticed issues like plugged-in headphones that may need to be removed before you can hear sound normally. If you are using an audio device like speakers, make sure it is working properly.
- If the problem seems to be on the OS itself, then head over to the status area where your profile icon appears. Here there is an option to adjust the volume via a slider. Make sure the volume is turned up high enough to hear.
- After that, your next option is resetting your Chromebook, which will wipe any saved data. When you've backed up all of your user data and are ready, head over to your status area to access the Settings From here, choose Advanced Settings, and look for the section called Powerwash. Here, choose Reset, then choose Restart and enter your Google Account information. Note that you should only do this with a personal Chromebook, not a work or school version.
Problem: Bluetooth isn't connecting over Chrome OS
- First, keep in mind that not all Chrome OS devices work with Bluetooth – but most do. You can look for the Bluetooth logo in your status area to make sure if you don't know – if it appears (even if crossed out) then your Chromebook is compatible.
- Make sure your Bluetooth is on and working. If Bluetooth is off (with a bar across the icon), then scan for your accessories by clicking the icon and choosing Enable Bluetooth. This will begin the pairing procedure. It's a good idea to try to reconnect this way even if a device has worked in the past – just disable and then enable your Bluetooth to reset an old connection. Make sure that any codes you have to put in are accurate.
- Never forget the physical aspect. Make sure the Bluetooth device is close to your Chromebook, and make sure you've properly paired it.
Problem: My browser tabs are reloading and making everything slow
- Chrome OS will occasionally run into a problem where it will keep reloading browser tabs – over and over and over, slowing down everything else. The most comment culprit here is low memory, so try shutting down any browser tabs that you don't need and see if the problem goes away. The same is true of apps and programs. Press the Shift and Escape keys together to open the Task Manager, which will show all the apps currently in operation. Close any apps you don't need or don't recognize.
- You may also want to weed through your extensions. From your browser, you can input "chome://extensions" into the address bar, which will immediately take you to your list of current extensions. Disable any that you don't need or that may have recently caused the problem by un-checking the boxes next to the extensions.
Problem: I can't connect to a strong Wi-Fi network
- Check the status area to make sure that the Wi-Fi icon is full and not covered by an X, which means your Wi-Fi is turned off. You can turn your Chrome OS Wi-Fi on at any time by simply clicking on the icon, selecting No Network, and choosing Turn Wi-Fi On. This allows you to search for available networks and connect to one.
- Particularly old wireless networks may not work with Chrome OS. This is unusual, but if your router is several years old, you may want to try a different Wi-Fi network to see if this works. If it does, it's time for a router upgrade.
- When in doubt, restart your Chromebook. The steps are extra easy. Shut down using the power button, wait for a bit, and then push the power button to start up again. See if your Wi-Fi works now.
Problem: I can't use my Word docs on Chrome OS
- If you have recently switched to a Chrome device and you are finding it difficult to link with any of your old documents, there are several workarounds you can use. Google's first suggestion is, naturally, to switch to Google Docs. This can solve your problem – and Google Docs can indeed view many Word files – but it isn't always practical because of tools, formatting, compatibility, etc.
- You can also save individual Office files onto your Chromebook and open them in case of emergencies. Download the file, and open it by going to All Apps, selecting Files, and double-clicking on the file. This will open the file in Google Docs, but at least you'll have access to it.
- Another option is moving to Word Online. This is a specific Chrome extension specializing in making it possible to use Office features on your Chromebook and with various applications, and is well-reviewed. If you have online Office capabilities, this web-based solution is ideal.
- Note that while Word may be responsible for the most common concerns, this applies to the entire Microsoft suite and indeed a variety of popular apps. There's typically a solution out there. This list of compatible file types may be handy if you have a more specific question.
Problem: I can't get my printer to work via Chrome OS
- This may be your barrier to success: You need Google Cloud Print via an Internet connection to successfully print. It's not a problem for Chromebooks, but cloud-ready printers are hit or miss. Find a cloud-ready printer for the best results.
- If you are stuck using an old, less compatible printer, Google does have a somewhat awkward workaround. If you are signed into the same Google account on another computer (not a Chromebook), you should be able to create a wireless connect with Google Cloud Print, then use your Chromebook – once again on the same account – to pass a doc through the cloud and print it anyway.
- If these solutions don't work, look up your printer model online and see if there are any new drivers needed for an update to add Cloud Print compatibility.
Problem: Chrome OS keeps telling me "This webpage is not available"
- This error (assuming you have the web address right) is most often caused by cookie or proxy issues. On the cookie front, it's probably time to delete them all. Slim down your Chromebook by going to Settings and choosing Show advanced settings. Here you can find a Privacy section, where you should click on Content settings. This allows you to choose various browser data to delete. Select All cookies and site data, and then click Remove All. Just make sure that you have your online passwords saved somewhere first.
- The problem could also be your proxy settings (sometimes indicated by a message about proxy issues). You can change proxy settings, but only if you know what you're doing. One of the best fixes is to head over to Settings, find the Internet connection section, and check the box for Allow proxies for shared networks. If you are using a guest profile on a Chromebook, this will probably solve your problem, but you will have to input the correct proxy settings as prompted after checking the box.
Problem: I can't sign into Chrome OS without getting errors
- There are a lot of different error messages you can get when a sign-in doesn't work on Chrome. Rather than going through each of them, we suggest you visit the handy walkthrough Google has for dealing with these sign in errors one at a time.
- Generally, we advise that you doublecheck your password, username, and Google account to make sure all are up to date and functioning as expected, because the problem is usually with one of these three.

The congress aimed to provide a dynamic and innovative scientific program, showcasing the latest developments and techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of neurovascular disorders. With previous congresses having taken place in leading world cities, the global community had shared their doubts to the organising committee about Australia's technological capabilities to host such an event.
What was needed was a partner with creative and digital capabilities to engage and activate the delegates and reflect at the same time the country's innovative, forward thinking and technological solutions. With that mandate, MCI Australia explored several options and created an app that facilitated engagement though a solution called 'interactive sessions'.Download PDF

Yes, that was my school you saw on the news this week. You know, the one with the taped beating in the boys bathroom? Yup. That was us. How do I feel about it? Let me tell you.
First, I have to say that we don't have many fights on our campus. Really. This year we've had maybe four that have even garnered attention by those not directly involved. We have had a couple of severe beatings on campus in the past four years. I don't know that this one is the worst. Fights are never a good thing, but they do happen. Beatings are never a good thing, but they also happen. What made this incident unusual was the fact that the video was posted to the internet. According to students, other incidents had been taped as well, some maybe even posted, but somehow the media never got hold of it.
Thursday I arrived at school at 6:45. There was a satellite truck already in the parking lot. The reporter was interviewing our principal inside the administration building. More showed up during the day. When I left at 4:30 that afternoon there was still a satellite truck on campus. Near as I can guess, the following channels visited: 2, 4, 5, 7, 11, and Telemundo. That's a lot of coverage. I had been hoping the coverage was for our "Every 15 Minutes" program (the one to discourage drinking and driving), but it wasn't. Reporters were more interested in a beating.
What truly disgusts me is that we never get coverage for the great things that our students do. We have an award-winning school newspaper, an awarding-winning band and orchestra program, nationally ranked students in judo, track, and cheerleading. Every year our theater and dance productions sell out! Our basketball team went to the state championships two years ago (okay, that is another story for another time). We have students who have been admitted to and will be attending Stanford, UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, UC Santa Barbara, SFSU, Sac State, UC Davis, UC Riverside, Sonoma State....the list goes on and on. We have an 85% pass rate in English on the high school exit exam and a 77% pass rate in Math on the high school exit exam (remember the state average is around 50% for both). We have a higher API/AYP than other other comprehsive high school in our district. We've got great kids, but the community never hears about it.
Recent surveys have shown that many adults are afraid of teenagers. Teens are these alien beings; something to be feared and loathed. I don't understand it. When you look at what teens can do, why are adults afraid of them? My guess is that most adults don't spend the time to get to know teenagers. Try it. They are interesting people. Frequently, they are more interesting than some adults.
I have talked to many in my community who are afraid of our students. They believe our one high school to be a dangerous place. I don't find it to be dangerous. I have invited them to visit my classroom and visit my school. No one has ever taken me up on the offer.
I have two challenges. First, I challenge media outlets to report on good things that students do once in awhile. Second, I specifically challenge the media to come see what my students will be doing as a service project for one of our elementary schools.
Okay, this is enough for now. I am getting angry all over again. If you read this, please keep an open mind next time you have an encounter with a teenager.
Posted by Natalie Wojinski at 6:23 PM
That nickname was given to me by a student. Yes, I know. Some people are shocked. I found it amusing. Why? It's one of those things that happens in a classroom. A student gets really frustrated or excited about something and something goofy just pops out of their mouth. "Cold Hearted Demon" was this year's. My first year teaching, my students found out how old I was. Naturally, sixth graders are shocked to find out adults are over 20. Francisco blurted out "Wow! You're an old fart, aren't you?" He was mortified, as were his classmates. They held their collective breath to see what would happen. I busted up laughing. I laughed so hard I cried. They were relieved that I could be so liberal about the whole thing. Same thing happened with "Cold Hearted Demon" this year. Collective breath held. I laughed so hard I cried. I still give the student a bad time about it.

Narod Armenian Children's Cultural Institute
The Narod Armenian Children's Cultural Institute was established to bring joy to the life of every Armenian child, improve the educational contexts of childhood, and help children share the Armenian cultural heritage.
Narod Network Project
Primarily concerned with children's education, the Narod Network Project was aimed to introduce information technology to expand educational networks, their potential, and bridge Armenian communities worldwide. The Narod Network Project provided students and educators in Armenia with the means to share their rich cultural heritage and gain the perspective of their peers in other parts of the world.
Sesame Street
Since 1993, the number of children attending preschool institutions in Armenia had frightfully declined due to cuts in government funding and harsh conditions in pre-school institutions such as lack of heating and food. Numerous schools shut down leaving preschool age children on the streets without necessary structure needed for proper development.
Narod's Children Library
The Narod Arhdaldjian Children's Library was opened in the neighborhood of Bourj-Hammoud in Beirut, Lebanon on March 30, 1996. The library aimed to encourage the educational and cultural development of inner city Armenian children living in the Armenian enclave of Bourj-Hammoud.

Downtown doesn't have any more room for St. Luke's expansion. Meridian has plenty of room with more open areas for expanding. Does Boise want its downtown identity to be "hospital," or a nice variety of eateries and eclectic shops that make Boise's downtown interesting and fun?
On another note, why aren't the hospitals' nonprofit status held to the same standards that the Idaho Humane Society, Idaho Foodbank and Idaho Youth Ranch are? It seems like a mega business that continues to use a loophole that should be closed. Wow, just think of the tax dollars the state could really use. Nonprofits are supposed to better the community, not just themselves.

That Ex-NFL Cheerleader Who Had Sex With A 15-Year-Old Was Set Up With Him By Her Teenage Son
Molly Shattuck, the ex-Ravens cheerleader who yesterday we told you was indicted for having sex with a 15 year-old boy, allegedly hooked up with the boy through her son who set the whole thing up. What the eff indeed.
According to DelawareOnline…
The relationship began at the end of May when Shattuck spotted photos of the teen on Instagram and posted a comment about them, according to information contained in an application for a search warrant.
After the victim replied thank you in a private message through Instagram, Shattuck's son sent the victim his mother's cell phone number, saying, "You should text my Mom, she is obsessed with you," according to court records.
The budding friendship continued through the summer and progressed from chats about daily life to provocative talk and text messages into trysts in the rear seat of Shattuck's Cadillac Escalade where the two would make out and grope each other, court records said.
But wait, there's more…
Through the month of July, while the teen attended summer school, Shattuck picked him up for lunch "five or six times" and drove to a parking garage where they would "talk and eat and then get in the back of the car and kiss or make out," police said in court records. During one of these incidents, Shattuck allegedly touched the teen's penis.
"Between their encounters, Shattuck asked for pictures via text message" and he would send pictures of himself shirtless and one in his underwear, the victim told police.
Over Labor Day weekend, she allegedly performed oral sex on the victim while outside the home and later invited him to her bedroom where they each stripped down to their underwear and fondled each other, the documents show.
I'm sorry, but as weird as this whole thing is, and it is very weird, this might be the luckiest 15 year-old boy on the planet. Sorry, it simply had to be said. Kid was having sex with a blonde, older, experienced former NFL cheerleader (video here). His life can only go downhill from here and not just because they got busted.

Our skating rink in the front yard of our home in 1950 in Alaska
Our ice rink at school in Fairbanks, Alaska. We spent our lunch hours and after school skating!
We have really enjoyed watching the Olympics the past couple of weeks. The Winter Olympics are our favorites. The skating, skiing and snow remind me of Alaska and many happy days spent on ice rinks and ski slopes when I was growing up. Hope you all enjoyed the games too!!

Valentine Day
Valentine Day was wonderful. My sweet, thoughtful husband gave me a beautiful bouquet of roses and a darling card - I love flowers so I am so grateful and touched. I gave Malcolm some sugar free chocolates - he loves chocolate and I think these were good. After Church, Amanda and Tyler came down with a valentine cake with cool whip/pudding frosting and cherries - it was delicous along with a card made by the whole family. While Amanda and Tyler were visiting, our Stake Presidency came by and gave Malcolm a blessing. He has been sick for several weeks with a hacking cough. We appreciated their thoughtfulness after a full day of meetings! Thank you everyone for the wonderful day!

The Weekend
Tyler and Amanda went for a couple of days away for their anniversary so Grandpa picked the children up at school and I stayed overnight and cooked, played and just enjoyed all the children for a couple of days. We played scrabble, read books, cooked their favorite foods, snacked, and visited. Grandpa wasn't feel too well, but he came by everyday to check on us and have some goodies with us. Mason took his naps well and all the children went to bed like angels. Mason said the "jello was the best in the whole wide world!"

Your Letters: Dangerous Highways, Norman Rockwell
Host Liane Hansen reads listener letters about last week's segments on dangerous highways, Norman Rockwell and an eco-friendly Christmas.
LIANE HANSEN, host:
Time now for your letters.
Last week, we wrapped up a weeklong series on highway safety with a report about the dangers of Utah's Highway 6, a road that's had more than 500 fatal or serious crashes since 1996. A number of you wrote to suggest that officials lower the speed limit on Highway 6.
Margaret Carey(ph) left a comment on our Web site that aggressive driving is also to blame. She writes: There seems to be a fascination with dangerous passing. I have had to go off the road at least twice to avoid being hit head on by someone who could not get back in their own lane of traffic. Often drivers in the passer's lane close the gap as if to prove something to the passing car. Many drivers treat driving like a game.
Last week, guest host Jacki Lyden explored the little-known history behind the paintings of Norman Rockwell. The famed artist relied on posed photographs to create his paintings, drawing criticism from some in the arts community.
Artist Burt Cox(ph) of Philadelphia writes: Any tool that can help get the job done on time should, can and will be used by an illustrator. And if Rockwell were alive today, he would probably be using a computer like every other freelance illustrator on earth.
Also, last week we focused on an effort in some parts of the country to take the penny out of circulation. Troy Hill of Seattle, Washington writes: Tradition, history and old habits are not easily changed, but the penny has served its purpose, run its course and needs to be retired.
Alan Crocker(ph) wrote on our Web site: I own a store and I can't even begin to imagine the hassles involved with discontinuing the penny. Sales tax would be a nightmare. All this anti-penny contrarianism is pretty short-sighted, if you ask me.
Finally, a number of your wrote in after hearing Anna Getty, author of the book, "I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas," suggest that cuttings down a tree is more environmentally friendly than purchasing a plastic one. Several of you pointed out a third option - buying a live tree that can be planted after the holiday season.
Tom Arnold of Eugene, Oregon writes: Not only is this an environmentally superior option for all the obvious reasons, but it also offers a focal point to remember warm, close times with loved ones.

If you've driven all the way to Inglewood to seek out Coni'Seafood, chances are you're here for the snook. That snook, or pescado zarandeado, is the dish that has garnered the most adoration from devotees of chef Sergio Peñuelas, and there's no doubt the whole split, grilled, tender white fish is one of the city's great seafood dishes. But really, it's only the beginning of what this small, slate-gray restaurant has to offer. In a dining room one wag describes as resembling "the Flintstones' living room," there are smoked marlin tacos, which are like the best tuna melt ever, only in taco form. There are all manner of cocteles, such as the ceviche marinero, a jumble of shrimp marinated in lemon, cucumber, cilantro and tomato, topped with hunks of sweet mango and bathed in a wicked, dusky "black sauce." Then there are the camarones, giant, head-on shrimp that come in many different variations of sauce: diablo for the spice lovers; borrachos — in a broth made from tequila, lime, cilantro and crushed peppers — for the hungover. There's a brightness and complexity and pop to this food that makes all of it — not just the snook — well worth the pilgrimage.

If you believe the press releases, LAX at last has great eating options or, at least, great enough that you might not mind being stuck in its international terminal for a few hours while New York digs itself out of a blizzard. While we're just as excited as anyone else about 800 Degrees and the other eateries that will make flight delays that much more bearable, they still won't quite replace the mandatory pre- or post-airport stop at Pann's, the Googie-style diner that opened in 1958. Designed by Helen Liu Fong and Eldon Davis of Armét & Davis, the diner remains a potent symbol of Americana: the upswept roofline angling high into the sky, the bright red booths inside, the long line of counter stools. Beyond architecture, Pann's is one of the few bona fide classic American diners that does classic American diner food very, very well. Thus you could be happy at the counter slurping a strawberry milkshake with your patty melt, or sipping a mug of hot coffee alongside a plate of terrific chicken and waffles. No airport food could ever top that.
