Reading is an ongoing goal in this household.
Children with DS are very strong visual learners and are therefor often very successful in learning how to read. I have been working with Phoenix for the last few years on developing reading skills. We started with flash cards, ipad apps and making our own word cards on foam shapes.
Phoenix has been very resistant to putting words together to form sentences, or to identifying words that she already knows in books. I keep on trying, but she has been telling me that she isn't ready so I had to respect that.
Recently, Phoenix has started reading the title of books that she is familiar with and she requests certain books by name.
I have also started making "books" of sight words on foam rectangles that I have stapled together. Those were very successful and Phoenix asks to read them over and over.
Here is one of the books she likes right now. It's a Dr Seuss book called "The Foot Book"
She reads some words, and I read some words. Please remember, this is a child who is not yet in Kindergarten. This progress is wonderful and I couldn't be happier that at 5 she already has a love and appreciation of reading.

For the moment, the Cavaliers have one content, proven point guard.
Free agent Derrick Rose agreed Monday to sign with Cleveland, a person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press. Rose, a former NBA MVP who has battled knee injuries, will get a one-year contract at the veteran's minimum of $2.1 million, said the person who spoke on condition of anonymity because the team has not announced the agreement. The deal is expected to be finalized and announced Tuesday.
Rose played for the New York Knicks last season and averaged 18 points and 4.4 assists. The 28-year-old's role with the Cavs is still to be determined. He could be used as a backup or even start depending on what the team does with All-Star Kyrie Irving, who recently asked for a trade.
Colts to put Luck on PUP
Andrew Luck's surgically repaired right shoulder will keep him out for the start of training camp. How much more time he'll miss is still unclear. Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters that the team's franchise quarterback would go on the physically unable to perform list when players report to camp Saturday. Luck, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft and the face of the franchise, had surgery in January to repair a partially torn labrum.
John Elway has agreed to a new five-year contract with the Denver Broncos. The deal ends a long-running saga that had fans wondering if their Hall of Fame quarterback-turned-front office executive would leave the franchise he's led to three Super Bowl titles.
Twins acquire Garcia
Hoping to bolster their rotation for a playoff run, the Minnesota Twins got veteran left-handed pitcher Jaime Garcia, catcher Anthony Recker and cash from the Atlanta Braves for minor league righty Huascar Ynoa. The 31-year-old Garcia is 66-52 with a 3.65 ERA and 808 strikeouts in 176 appearances, mostly with St. Louis (2008, 2010-16). He missed the 2009 MLB season following Tommy John surgery. Garcia is 4-7 with a 4.30 ERA, 41 walks and 85 strikeouts in 18 starts for the Braves this year.
The contending Kansas City Royals have acquired three pitchers from the San Diego Padres, getting starter Trevor Cahill, closer Brandon Maurer and reliever Ryan Buchter. The Royals sent pitchers Matt Strahm and Travis Wood, minor league infielder Esteury Ruiz and cash to San Diego. The deal came one week before the nonwaiver trade deadline. Cahill was 4-3 with a 3.69 ERA in 11 starts for the Padres. The 29-year-old right-hander was an All-Star with Oakland in 2010. Maurer is 20-for-23 on save tries, and 1-4 with a 5.72 ERA. The 27-year-old righty began his big league career with Seattle in 2013 as a starter. Buchter is 3-3 with one save and a 3.05 ERA in 42 games.
Earnhardt Jr. to booth
Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR's most popular driver, will join NBC Sports Group's coverage of stock car racing next year and there may be more options once he climbs out of the car for good. The agreement with NBCUniversal will allow Earnhardt to pursue "a wide range of opportunities in the company's media businesses.

Indian Army performed surgical strike in Pakistan and it was lauded by many Indians, however the opposition parties doubted the surgical strike. But all rumours came to rest, and now former Nagrota Corps commander Lt Gen Rajendra Nimborkar revealed why Indian troops carried leopard's urine and faeces. According to Nimborkar, the stench of leopard's urine helped to put dogs away and cleared the path for them to carry out the operation successfully.
Nimborkar came to Pune as he was awarded by the Pune-based Thorle Bajirao Peshwe Pratishthan for his contribution to the strikes.
"While in the sector, we had experienced that leopards often attack dogs in the areas. To save themselves from the attack, dogs prefer to stay in the locality during night."
"While devising the operational strategy, we were aware about possible dogs barking and attacking while crossing villages on the route. To counter it, our troops carried leopards' urine and faeces. They used to spray it outside the village. This worked well and the dogs left them alone," Nimborkar was quoted as saying by The Leading Daily.
Last year Indian Army launched surgical strike against terror groups across the Line of Control.

The way I met Alec (his name is Alessandro) is in fact a special story. For some reason, I believe that, somehow it was meant to be, that we became friends almost instantly. Alec have a Language School and I was looking for a job. I couldn't get in touch with Alec and I really don't remember why, but one of my business cards ended up on the sidewalk in front of the school. The next day Alec comes to my house to ask if he could be of assistance. Alec thought I was a possible client, but as said in fact I was the one asking him for help. Later we sat down and talked. In all modesty, I believe we soon became friends for life.
Alec, for me, is somehow a strange guy. He is a vegetarian, he believes in Buddhism and his passion is music and cats. He owns a language school where he and his teachers teaches foreign languages for Brazilians. He always has time to talk. He shares what he has of himself. At his school and I am sure in his private life also, there is always time for a talk and a cup of tea / coffee.
For me Alex is one of these people that you are happy to know and happy to have as a friend. Also for me he is one of the better memories of years in Brazil.
1. Where are you from and where did Alec grow up?
I'm originally from Salto. It's a small town in the state of São Paulo – Brazil, where I grew up and have spent all my life since I was born.
2. Imagine you are 20 years old how would you see yourself at the age of 35 years old?
When I was 20 I was still attending college for my first bachelor degree in Social Communication and I expected I wouldn't stop studying so soon as I intended to take a Master and stuff. So, I probably thought of myself at 35 as a PhD student at the time.
3. How do you see yourself as a professional? Or perhaps if you could choose what would you be?
I like to think of myself as someone who tries to do his best, but you know I'd rather be a full-time musician if I could.
4. I know you are working in education. What does education mean to you?
A path to make people better (If not the only).
5. What do you enjoy?
I'm a composer and music is my passion. Currently I've been playing the guitar and singing in a project called "Dirty Swede". Our songs are on Spotify collecting money to an animal cause: host and feed cattle left on the roads by their owners as they get old and sick. I'd like to take this opportunity and invite your readers to follow us and help the initiative by listening and sharing our songs on their playlists. Links can be found at our website: http://www.thatdirtyswede.com
6. How do you see yourself in your country today?
I don't understand how people in charge of a nation could ever act so unethical and greedy.
7. How do you see yourself and your world in 25 years as per 2017?
I still believe in people. So, I hope 25 years from now things will happen the way they are supposed to. I also hope I can be a famous musician by then and make use of this fact so that I can act more in favor of the causes I believe in.
8. If you have one wish about your Brazilian fellow man what would that be?
I'd like us all to think and act more collectively than individually.
9. One wish – how would you like the world to be in the future?
Plenty of everything to everybody.

Only a short post today as my mind is full of mumble jumble. I've not been out of the house much this past week or so due to looking after our newborn rabbits and Megan being unwell. Thankfully, she is well and back at school again today and I am heading to the museum to work for the morning before spending the rest of the week catching up on project work. I feel as though I'm going to have to learn how to communicate with the rest of the world again, so I'll leave a more insightful post for a time where I can articulate my thoughts again and instead leave you with the cuteness that are fluffy baby bunnies!
Being at home has meant that I've had lots of cuddles with all five of our babies. They are now two weeks old and have grown so quickly over the last week or so. They now leave their nest to hop about the hutch and chase after poor Lily trying to feed from her whenever they feel like it! I think she was happier when they left her alone! All five are adorable, I don't know how I'll be able to part with them when it's time for them to leave!
Have a lovely day

I know so many people who are celebrating their birthday this month! It's a good thing that i have a few cards done up in advance because i would never be able to manage! I did take the time to create a card for a very special person this weekend though, using My Mind's Eye Blog Challenge 29 sketch:
The challenge this month is to not only use this fabulous sketch, but also use "BROWN" on the card which is easy for me because i just love brown and i would use it on every single project i make if i could.
I used papers from the older, but still beautiful, So Sophie collection. Unfortunately, i didn't have any other MME products in my stash that matched the papers, but with a little chipboard, some border punches and a little stitching, i was able to make a lovely card for my well-deserving friend.
And voilà!
I'll take this opportunity to wish the best Birthday ever to all my November Birthday friends!!!

For those who have not completed games in the Xenoblade Chronicles series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.
Chimeras (Japanese: キマエラ, Kimaera) are enemies in Xenoblade Chronicles X. They are abominations created by the Lifehold Core. They do not appear as normal enemies, with them being mission or story exclusive, a Tyrant, and a Boss.
"A malfunction in the Lifehold's control system created these biological monstrosities from protoplasmic fluid. Their grotesque forms are due to being composed of an erratic jumbling of various genetic data."
Types of Chimeras
Mission Exclusive Enemies
Story Exclusive Enemy
Normal chimeras are grotesque monsters that vaguely resemble crocodiles. However, their head splits into four jaws, with the upper pair hanging apart. They have three tails with webbing in between them. Their thick legs end in sharp claws, with thumbs acting as a high heel. Their chests and shoulders are covered in numerous yellowish eyes.
A chimera is a fantastical creature created from parts from different animals, or an organism whose cells are genetically distinct and originate from different zygotes.

The player starts off choosing an angler. Then the player can either go to the bait shop, practice pond, or start in the tournament. In the bait shop, choices of baits, lines, rods, reels, fish finders, and boat engines are available for purchase. The practice pond mode is just where the player can cut his teeth on the game mechanics without consequence. The tournament mode is the main part of the game. Players start out in a fishing boat. Some of the factors that can affect your fishing are temperature, wind speed, water clarity and time of day. After casting the line, the game goes from an above the lake view to a side view of the lake water depths. Then it's just up to the player to attract the fish with the bait, and after the fish is caught on the hook, reel it in.

In just about every industry, there's usually a need to carry out maintenance activities at height. These can range anywhere from servicing tanks and hoppers to repairing jet engines – and these jobs can be particularly complicated. Not only can this type of equipment be hazardous if not properly locked out, they're often also very hard to reach. Straining to reach certain access points of machinery is dangerous from both an ergonomic and working at heights standpoint.
There are a number of solutions available for maintaining hard-to-reach areas in your facility. The two most popular that come to mind are ladders, and mobile or adjustable work platforms. Let's take a closer look at both.
There are obviously pros and cons associated with using ladders during maintenance activities – routine or otherwise. Some of those benefits include:
- Lightweight: Ladders made from materials like fiberglass are nice and lightweight, which means they're easy to move around from work space to work space.
- Long Lifespan: If you invest in a good quality, steel ladder, it has the capacity to withstand a complete lifespan. When compared to other materials, steel ladders have longer durability.
- Easy to Use: Provided the worker has completed a ladder safety training course.
On the other hand, ladders have a number of limitations as well, including:
- Small Steps: Some ladders can have thin steps that workers have to balance on, making slipping a higher risk.
- No Work Platform: Most have no dedicated work platform for workers to use; all tools and equipment need to be tethered to the body.
- Height Restrictions: You should never stand higher than the second to the top rung of a ladder, and you have a limited reach on a fixed ladder.
- No Safety Rails: On a ladder, there are usually no railings or guards to keep you in an enclosed area, making the potential for falls that much higher.
Now let's take a look at work platform systems.
Adjustable Work Platforms
A number of multi-use, height-adjustable platforms have made their way into the market lately, and they're gaining traction quickly. Most adjustable work platforms are designed to increase safety and productivity and come in a number of models with different features.
Some of the advantages of adjustable work platforms include:
- Versatility: Adjustable work platforms are available in a variety of deck heights, making them ideal for working in very small or very large spaces.
- Portability: You can easily walk many work platforms from room to room, and even through doorways.
- Increased Safety: You can be sure that the correct, safe handrail is available at each level of your work platform, and many now feature locking gates for additional security.
The only downsides to adjustable work platforms are:
- Size: Since they can't be broken down, adjustable work platforms can take up a lot of space. Fortunately, since they eliminate the need for scaffolding and some ladders, you should have a lot of extra room to store them!
- Up-Front Cost: Yes, you will definitely pay a little more up front for an adjustable work platform. However, the long-term cost savings you'll experience once you invest in one will surely negate that initial price.
Still not sure which is the best solution for your hard-to-reach areas? Take a look at a work platform in action and decide for yourself! And as always, if you can't find the solution you're looking for, get in touch with us!

April 6, 2001
BY JIM DeROGATIS POP MUSIC CRITIC
Though she's been half of the mostly unplugged duo the Indigo Girls for more than two
decades now, Decatur, Ga., native Amy Ray has always hidden a punk-rock heart beneath a
Lilith Fair facade.
On her new solo album, "Stag," released on her own Daemon Records, Ray cranks
up the volume and rocks out with a passionate conviction, raging at sexism in all its
forms in songs such as "Lucystoners" and "Hey Castrator," and paying
homage to activist friends who've passed away in "On Your Honor."
Ray is touring with backing from the Atlanta punk band the Butchies. I caught up with
her at the start of the tour, after a hard-hitting performance at the South by Southwest
Music & Media Conference in Austin, Texas.
Q.I saw you guys the other night at the Rainbow Cattle Company, and it was a really
great show. Is it fun for you to be playing with a loud punk band?
A. Thanks; that was our first show. We're still working out the bugs, but I
think we're gonna get there.
I've been playing with [fellow Indigo Girl] Emily [Saliers] since I was 15, but I was
in a band before that that was a rock band. I got kicked out, actually, and I think it was
'cause I was a girl. But Emily and I were always part of this [do-it-yourself] movement
that encompassed a lot of different kinds of music, and the bands that I was drawn to were
more of the punk bands. A band like the Night Porters, I was really drawn to them in 1986,
and the first band that I put out on my label Daemon was the Ellen James Society, which
was in the spirit of the riot grrrl movement, though we didn't have a scene like that
happening in Atlanta. Basically I was always into Patti Smith and Husker Du and the Clash.
Q. It just took you 15 years to start making music in that vein.
A. I guess. Part of it was that my very earliest days were Neil Young and Rickie
Lee Jones. The things that stuck with me developmentally when I was first learning guitar
were very folk-based sounds, and I think I was really entrenched in writing a certain way
for a long time. I struggled for a long time with, "I'm writing songs but I'm not
really getting to the core of what I feel." At some point even with the Indigo Girls
I started being able to get it out more, and it wasn't just a function of being more
electric; sometimes it was just an acoustic song like "Johnny Rottentail." I
think when I started listening to field recordings by Alan Lomax, probably about 10 years
ago, that really changed the way I saw songwriting.
Q. It's supposed to work the other way, you know. As you get older and more
respectable, you're supposed to slow down and get quieter.
A. Not if you're a woman! I think women actually do it the opposite way. I don't
know why; maybe it's because your hormones kick in.
Q. In addition to being a powerful and catchy rock song,
"Lucystoners" is a damning indictment of Rolling Stone magazine and its
publisher, Jann Wenner, whom you accuse of a sexist bias against female artists.
A. Jann Wenner is definitely a symbol in that song of a large problem, and it
was easy to attach him because Rolling Stone is such a notoriously sexist and misogynist
magazine. It's a magazine that has probably always had the same kind of stance as far as
sexism goes, though at times it's had more nurturing writers; even though it's always been
a boys club, at times the boys it was nurturing were really good. Now it's a fashion
magazine; it's controlled by its advertisers. So it was just this thing where I'm very
familiar anecdotally with how the Indigo Girls have been dismissed by them, and so it was
an easy thing for them to be attached to. But it's a bigger problem. How many writers do
these magazines hire that are women, and what do the women get to write about, and how are
the women treated?
Q. Well, that's one of the problems I had with Lilith Fair: It seemed too
willing to ghettoize female artists. I'd rather have seen the Indigo Girls perform as part
of Ozzfest.
A. Lilith was what it was. To me, there were so many digs taken at it because it
was an economically successful women's venture. Lollapalooza made more money than Lilith,
and no one ever said they were being greedy. I think Lilith was a response to the fact
that women weren't getting billed at Ozzfest. Now, I wouldn't have done it the same way,
because I think that feminism gets commodified to the point where it becomes a fashion
statement instead of a reality. I had problems with some of the corporate stuff, but I
think the good outweighed the bad with Lilith Fair.
Q. You're working with some extraordinary people on "Stag." There
are producers Chris Stamey of the dB's and Dave Barbe of Sugar, and in addition to the
Butchies, you're backed on some tracks by the Rock-a-Teens and on others by a supergroup
comprised of Joan Jett, Kate Schellenbach and Josephine Wiggs. Was this pretty much your
dream team?
A. These are all people that I'm really influenced by and really into. This is
my world; it's like a star trip in my head, because this is my dream team. It's
like all these people that I have a reference to in my life and they meant something to
me, and they're part of this Southern scene that's really different from a lot of other
places. They're all pretty different, but they all have this thing in common, which is
they're willing to work on a project like this. They see the musicality or the passion of
Q. The Indigo Girls are still a going concern. This is just your paid
vacation, right?
A. Yeah. Or my unpaid vacation! The Indigo Girls are doing a record that
we'll probably start in early fall. It'll actually be an acoustic record--we're going back
to ground zero to do more of an Appalachian acoustic record.
Q. As the owner of an independent label, how do you see yourself fitting into
the current spectrum of the music business? In many ways, the mainstream has never been
more bland or corporate. The Indigo Girls have very little to do with Britney Spears.
A. I think Daemon is a label that has constantly struggled because we have not
had a niche. People do not know how to take us because we'll do Rose Polenzani one week,
and the next week we'll do a little garage band from Birmingham, Ala. It's hard. In the
punk community, we weren't accepted for a long time because I'm on a major label and
there's automatically a mark against me, no matter how much activism I do. But in the last
few years, I think we've finally gotten to this place where people understand what we're
trying to do, and we're starting to build coalitions with other labels, like Kill Rock
Stars and Merge and Bloodshot in Chicago. Daemon's whole perspective is that we have to
nurture the infrastructure of the counterculture. I'm actually encouraged that things are
so bad in the mainstream, because it's like there's more space now in the underground.

Everything just beginning
By Ivan Demidov
The BelAZ Works Here film, dedicated to the Belarusian automobile giant, has won the contest's major nomination — 'Image Corporate Film'. It has taken the Grand Prix, which is the People's Choice Award.
In total, 130 corporate films entered the contest, including works by world famous brands. However, only four reached the short list, being screened in Moscow during the Corporate Video in Russia 2012: Major Market Trends Forum.
"To make a good film, we needed to establish good relations with our customer company: BelAZ," notes Yevgeny Barkovsky, the producer of the LBLProduction Company, which shot the BelAZ film. "It's a unique enterprise employing unique people. I now understand Belarus better as a Slavonic nation."
Experts note that corporate videos are a new business competence, bringing fresh business solutions and the opportunity to make bright and emotional connections with partners, clients and colleagues. The Belarusian automobile giant agrees, so is soon to present its new documentary to the public. According to Mr. Barkovsky, the film details the enterprise's successes and prospects for development, using the idea that much has been achieved but that its path is also only just beginning.

Weddings are a fun and timeless event, so why not have your guests help you create time capsule to remember the event? Time capsules have been used for all sorts of events that are worthy of remembrance, and a wedding certainly fits that bill. On top of the importance of your wedding that makes it a great candidate for having a time capsule, your guests will have an unforgettable time helping you stuff it full of all kinds of items that will be fun and even silly when you open it down the road. Though it isn't the most common practice at a wedding, this type of unique and fun idea can make your wedding stand out from the other weddings your guests will attend this year.
What to Put in Your Time Capsule
There are many great choices for what to put in your time capsule, but many of the choices are up to you. In fact, it's that very type of personalization that makes a wedding time capsule such a fun and unique idea! Most people plan a pre-wedding party to get photos of their friends and family to include in the time capsule, as well as gather all the trinkets and mementos your guests want to include. If you are having trouble getting your guests excited about contributing fun things to put into your time capsule, you can always offer some kind of food or beverage as an incentive for their participation.
Where to Put Your Time Capsule
While most people would immediately think that burying their time capsule is the right thing to do, it is actually a risky choice that should probably not be made. The fact is that the ground can fluctuate vastly in temperature from winter to summer, and most time capsule shells can't handle those types of changes very well. Also, if you plan to move before you would be opening you time capsule, then there's the additional hassle of digging it up and re-burying it at your new home.
Opening Your Time Capsule
First off, you need to set a date when you're putting your time capsule together. Most couples choose common anniversary dates such as their 25th anniversary for the date that they will be opening it. Furthermore, you will want to make sure you have a good guest list put together so you know who needs to be there when it is opened. Though the contents are intended for you as the bride and groom, some of your closest friends and family will want to be part of opening and viewing the contents after a whopping 25 years; especially since no one person will know all of the contents in advance.

And Spotted Jewelweed:
Bees have to really commit themselves to reach the nectar:
The seedpods are excellent fun because they pop open at a touch, spewing seeds and little green springs all over. I've read that you can eat the seeds so I tried one this morning. I found it quite pleasant, but I'll save any more I gather for smuggling to Beechwood and planting.

Yes.. my dream is to become a Pilot!
Being a pilot isn't that easy. You need to pass the Aptitude test and the Compass test, and you also need to obtain a Class 1 medical certification issued by the relevant national aviation authority to qualify for the enrolment. I was once selected to go for the tests by CAAS, but didn't make it through the aptitude and/or compass test. I would love to do it again if there's another chance.
Why would I want to be a Pilot?
1. Yes.. I was pretty inspired after watching this show, Triumph in the Skies II.
2. I find that aviation is very interesting where you get to fly up high in the air and be above all, above the clouds. It allows people to travel from place to place in the most efficient way.
3. I can travel around and see the world!
4. Its actually a meaningful job which you send people to where they wanna go safely.
5. Its one of the most prestigious job in the world, hence it would be my honour to take on this career.
6. Last but not least, I can make use of the perks to bring my family around. Perhaps my parents can have a chance to be on board the First-Class cabin too. :P Lol~!
I had went to a few talks regarding to being a pilot.
Here are my takeaway from the talks.
1. Being a pilot you would always need to be in a top-notch medical condition.
As a result, you would have to be health-concious and hence take note of the things you eat. Don't take things that are too salty or sweet, Teh (milk-tea) with lesser milk etc. Well, in a way it helps you to lead a healthy lifestyle as well. So its not too bad la..! Lol~!
2. You need to have the Passion!
At the talk.. there was one guy asked what are the cons of being a pilot, the captain replied, "Its all about Passion!". He also said nothing can stop a determined person! The only con that he probably said was that you need to pass your medical test every 6 mths, hence maintaining a top-notch medical condition which I've mentioned earlier.
In short.. I would say..
Once you have the Passion, you would love and enjoy the process!
Here's a video of a Cockpit View Landing London City Airport at night!
So this is my dream.. to become a pilot! And I would love to fly for our country, Singapore Airlines!

Our take
These legislators are voting against your interests: Lawmakers should focus on what matters: legislation that could help solve California's housing shortage, improve the environment and leave the state a little better for generations to come.

Erika D. Smith: In California, we know how dangerous Donald Trump is. We know his weaknesses as a president, and so many of us wish he would just go away. But be careful what you wish for.
Andres Oppenheimer, Miami Herald: Hurricane Irma is why we need a national conversation on climate change – now. Tomas Regalado, Miami's mayor since 2009, says that he does not buy the claim by climate change skeptics that the unprecedented water rise in downtown Miami was an exceptional event. Too many weird climate events have been happening in the city in recent years.
Joe Mathews: Rural California towns are said to be dying. So why is little Gonzales doing so well?
Bill Boyce: Swordfish can be caught without killing other fish. It's important that the Pacific Fishery Management Council take definitive action this week to help transition the commercial swordfish fleet from drift gillnets to deep-set buoy gear.

Susan Sward: On a road trip through Trump country, a word from the voters who elected him.

On behalf of The Sacramento Bee's editorial board, welcome to The Take, your opinion-politics newsletter.
Take a number: 25.6 percent
California's poverty rate last year was down from 2015, but it's still higher than in 2007, before the recession. And as the California Budget & Policy Center pointed out Thursday, there's a wide difference among the 53 counties. While the statewide rate for 2016 was 14.3 percent, poverty ranged from 6.5 percent to 25.6 percent. The rate was higher than 20 percent in nine counties, mostly in the Central Valley. The gap is even bigger for child poverty. The statewide rate last year was 19.9 percent, but ranged from 5.2 percent to 37.9 percent. The divide is mostly the wealthier coast vs. the poorer inland, a persistent gap that even determines the odds that a child will make it to the middle class. And we can't lose sight of the actual people behind the numbers – more than 5.5 million Californians, including nearly 1.8 million children, lived in poverty last year. –Foon Rhee, @foonrhee
Their take
Miami Herald: There is little doubt that Irma turned the Rehabilitation Center at Hollywood Hills into a living hell — and now it seems clear that no one did enough to save those trapped inside without air conditioning — or called for help in time.
San Francisco Chronicle: From a bill to divulge state data to union organizers to an effort to bar nonprofits from any work that could conceivably go to a government employee, it's been a banner year for California Democrats' kowtowing to their labor underwriters — which, given their history of doing so, is saying a lot. The latest episode has the Legislature taking a shot across the hood of Tesla. We agree.
Mercury News: The House of Representatives' bill governing self-driving vehicles has a hole in it big enough to drive an autopilot Mack truck through.
Los Angeles Times: With support from Caltech, UCLA, philanthropist Eli Broad and others, the California STEM school proposed in AB 1217 Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra and Sen. Anthony Portantino promises to be outstanding, the kind of well-funded, heavily enriched institution that affluent people would pay big money to send their kids to but that remains beyond the grasp of poor families.
Orange County Register: A bill to cut red tape for Olympics projects in Los Angeles and a new Clippers' arena in Inglewood has been shelved, but political favoritism in development is not going away.
East Bay Times: While we very much appreciate Oakland A's Team President Dave Kaval's commitment to build a new ballpark in the city, he has chosen to do it the hard way because, he says, the revenue potential is greater. That's his business decision. He shouldn't expect taxpayers to subsidize it.
Kansas City Star: Yes, there's something unseemly about the enticements that Amazon apparently expects from the city that will become home to Amazon's "HQ2."
Syndicates' take
Charles M. Blow: Trump enthusiasts and accommodators say that the time for outrage is term-limited, that at a point, complete opposition registers as unfair and unpatriotic. How is it, precisely, that right becomes less right and wrong less wrong simply by the passage of time and the weariness of repetition?
Gail Collins: On Tuesday President Trump had dinner with a few moderate Democrats and completely retooled his tax policy before dessert. On Wednesday Trump not only ditched his tax-cuts-for-the-wealthy plans, he claimed the rich might take a hit. But the only actual written-down Trump tax plan is a one-pager.
Michael Gerson: Sen. Dianne Feinstein and other Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee mistreated Amy Coney Barrett, a law professor at Notre Dame who is being considered for a position on the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. They displayed a confusion of the intellect so profound, a disregard for constitutional values so reckless, that it amounts to anti-religious bigotry.
Dana Milbank: The Democrats have become socialists. This became official, more or less, Wednesday afternoon, when Bernie Sanders rolled out his socialized health-care plan, Medicare for All, and he was supported by 16 of his Senate Democratic colleagues who signed on as co-sponsors.
Eugene Robinson: The question now is whether Democrats will continue to settle for half-measures or finally demand what the party has claimed to want for decades: fully universal health care as a right, not as a privilege.
"As the "father" of true high-speed rail, I regret its "horizon" isn't now bright, unless the governor and Dan Richard restore 2008 promises to taxpayers." – Quentin Kopp, San Francisco

This practical system instills user awareness and a greater understanding of the security policies and technical controls in place, which leads people to modify their behavior and attitude towards data security.

"NETconsent adds an extremely important building block to Cryptzone Group's security platform and is an essential part of our planned expansion strategy.

How To Generate Organic Traffic
Organic traffic is the key to the quality of website visitor conversion and a pillar tenet of the SEO industry. The following article will provide examples of, and listings for resources considered to be organic traffic generators. If you listen to the SEO people, it's as easy as jumping through hoops of flame while smeared with cooking oil. What EXACTLY is organic traffic and how does it relate to the success or failure of your website? It's visitors sent to your VRE (virtual real estate) from the search engines via a particular keyword or longtail keyword phrase search query. Quite simple really. Those visitors are going to, more or less, be looking for something you have to offer. If you put in a little foundational work, you can generate as much as you want. Your organic traffic sources are going to be from one of the following of site classification types of site submission targets;
These kinds of sites represent potent sources of organic traffic that will keep feeding your destination URL as long as those sites are online. The article content and links filter into the search engines as they visit these types of sites ultra-frequently because search engine robots are always attracted to sources of constantly-fresh content. When your postings are in demand in the directories, these content pieces are then ranked highly in the search engine indexing according to the content keyword targets. You also have to submit in (high-quality) bulk to get a leg up on your targeted phrases.
One aspect of content submission that almost no one takes into consideration is the presentational structure of the content itself. How much more effective do you think the content that you're using to laser-target buyer traffic is laced with simple HTML/CSS to make it stand out to the eye of the viewer? Make it easy for someone who's reading your content to invest themselves in it so you get the anticipated result of reader click through to your target URL destination. It's up to what the publishing mechanism of each individual website will accord you. Some sites are set only to allow the minimum HTML/CSS to cut down on abusive browser attack vectoring, while others let you go hog-wild (hopefully employing resources like HTML Purifier in the background) and light up your posted content like an Xmas tree.
Another ignored aspect of content submission is the keyword research process. Finding long-tail keyword phrases with the least competition and most searches is your rule of thumb and you'll need to have access to tools that give you both the analytical and real-time overview you need to dodge and outrun any potential competition in this respect. There's an excellent grouping of keyword research applications online;
A bottom-line assessment on how to pre-qualify the profitability of your long-tail keyword phrase targets is to go by the hard and fast rule that if plugged into a search engine and the result returns anything under ten thousand results with the presence of on-page paid advertising, those are high-paying keyword phrases to structure content around as it'll be attractive of the buyer (and not tire-kickers).
The key to success in this pursuit is to scope out an initial list of fifty to one-hundred directories (of all types) for the keywords or keyword phrases that you're comfortable targeting. If those are listed, see if you can drill down into the phrasing to come up with untapped examples to avoid open head-to-head competition as you'd like to corner an original keyword phrase that is potentially-profitable with application of marketing to the correct online niche. The beauty of this approach is that you have fifty to one-hundred anchored links to the VRE of your choice and they'll be generating organic traffic for you as long as the resident directory keeps existing. As there is a rate of turnover in this niche, check all Alexaâ"¢ ranking for your first directory submission batch to be sure.

In case you choose to study martial arts you have to understand that you are not simply choosing to study to combat and defend, however you are additionally choosing a brand new way of life. I'm the proud mother of 4 boys and the even prouder grandmother of 4 grandbabies…my life is full of creativity that's impressed by others and I am grateful to my God for the concepts given to me daily…I am just making an attempt to keep up! Quite surprisingly, the chance of damage from martial arts is lower compared to other contact sports. Fashion does not only cowl clothings and footwear, this also deal with accessories, hair & make-up and every other thing that is related to a person's physicality.
Supplies used for body arts include tattooing dyes, special cleansing agents and so forth. U.S. President Barack Obama (R) presents the National Medal of Arts to comedian Mel Brooks (L) throughout an East Room ceremony at the White Home September 22, 2016 in Washington, DC. Nonetheless, college students who're pursuing pure healing diploma applications can anticipate 2-4 years of vigorous classroom and scientific instruction; particularly in healing arts faculties providing degrees in naturopathy, chiropractic and/or acupuncture.
You'll be proud and confident adding a CIA bachelor's or associate diploma in culinary arts or baking and pastry arts to your resume. Individual artists and humanities organizations will obtain equal consideration for grants. This means that the Evaluation from TRG Arts blog will no longer be on blogspot and this URL will re-direct you to the new blog.

In 2000, a bunch of individuals realized this, and decided that the time was proper to open a preschool that not solely stimulated the kids in a approach that might open their minds to studying; it taught them solid Jewish values, too. These details explain the close similarity of the postures in Chinese martial arts and yoga. In practically all colleges, kids are told that destructive actions like combating, drug use, bad language, and vandalism are intolerable and will result in an expulsion from upcoming classes.

Free parking is out there on nights and weekends in the parking deck adjoining to the Scholar Companies Building on Ferst Drive. Ken Gullette has practiced martial arts for 36 years and is greatest identified for his high-quality tutorial DVDs, his online internal arts faculty and his internal arts blog He is devoted to dispelling the myths surrounding tai chi, hsing-i and bagua, showing that the talents required for the internal arts are bodily, not metaphysical.

Do you know the Wordpress options for Ruby on Rails? How can they rival Wordpress?
Refinery looks rather easy however i do not have an thorough comparison to wordpress. Appears like it features a lot less features but likely simpler to keep and extend upon. It's pretty standard to create really crappy code within the Wordpress community.
typo could be a answer, but i am unable to match up against wordpress

Neural networks can model the relationship between input variables and output variables. A neural networks is built of artificial neurons which are connected. For the start it's the best to look at the architecture of a single neuron.
They are motivated by the architecture and functionality of neuron cells, of which brains are made of. The neurons in the brain can receive multiple input signals, process them and fire a signal which again can be input to other neurons. The output is binary, so the signal can be fired (1) or not be fired (0) which depends on the input.
The artificial neuron has some inputs which we call \(x_1, x_2, ... x_p\). There can be an additional input \(x_0\), which is always set to \(1\) and is often referred to as bias. The inputs can be weighted with weights \(w_1, w_2, ..., w_p\) and \(w_0\) for the bias. With the input and the weights we can calculate the activation of the neuron \[ a_i = \sum_{k = 1}^p w_k x_ik + w_0 \].
The output of the neuron is a function of it's activation. Here we are free to choose whatever function we want to use. If our output shall be binary or in the intervall \([0, 1]\) a good choice is the logistic function.
So the calculated output for the neuron and the observation i is \[ o_i= \frac{1}{1 + exp(-a_i)}\]
Pretty straightforward, isn't it? If you know about logistic regression this might be already familiar to you.
Now you know about the basic structure. The next step is to "learn" the right weights for the input. Therefore you need a so called loss function which tells you how wrong you are with your predicted output. The loss function is a function of your calculated output \(o_i\) (which depends on your data \(x_i1, ..., x_ip\) and the weights) and of course on the true output \(y_i\). Your training data set is given, so the only variable part of the loss function are your weights \(w_k\). Low values of the loss function tell you, that you make an accurate prediction with your neuron.
One simple loss function would be the simple difference \(y_i - o_i \). A more sophisticated function is \(y_i ln(o_i) \cdot (1-y_i) ln(1-o_i) \), which is the negative log- Likelihood of your data, if you see \(o_i\) as the probability that the output is 1. So minimizing the negative log - Likelihood is the same as maximizing the Likelihood of your parameters given your training data set.
The first step for learning about neural networks is made! The next thing to look at is the gradient descent algorithm. This algorithm is a way to find weights, which minimize the loss function.
Have fun!

Attorney Benedict Morelli's uncanny ability to connect with jurors and deliver masterful summations is no doubt a large part of what makes him a formidable opponent in the courtroom. But know this: Mr. Morelli is not just for show. Behind every opening and closing statement and everything in between are hours upon hours of work, meticulous preparation and a thorough understanding of his client and the case. When you try a case in the courtroom, you're the choreographer, director and producer, says Mr. Morelli. You've got to know every detail.
His level of preparedness certainly pays off. The Brooklyn-born Mr. Morelli is well known for taking corporate Goliaths to court in employment discrimination, medical malpractice and personal-injury cases and winning. But not all of Mr. Morelli's most high-profile cases end up in front of a jury. Late last year, he represented former Fox television producer Andrea Mackris against network pundit Bill O'Reilly in a widely publicized sexual harassment case that was settled in less than a month. Not every case should go to trial, Mr. Morelli says. You have to be cognizant about what's best for the client.
Even so, the straight-talking Mr. Morelli takes on each client with the idea of going to trial in mind. We never prepare to settle, he says. I try to get my clients on the wavelength that we're going to do whatever we have to do to win.
Mr. Morelli, who is president of the New York State Trial Lawyers Association the second-largest such organization in the country started his namesake firm seven years ago after more than two decades as a senior partner with another Manhattan practice. Today, Benedict P. Morelli & Associates counts some 16 sharp-minded lawyers among its ranks and is expanding its roster with more lawyers and paralegals.
We are a boutique firm and we're going to stay that way, but we're not afraid to take on the really big cases, he says. We are trying to level the playing field, and we're known for taking the cases that are high-profile, difficult and complex. The firm, for example, currently represents more than 700 plaintiffs against pharmaceutical company Merck, the maker of the arthritis drug Vioxx, which has been linked to heart attack, stroke and other medical problems.
Mr. Morelli credits his wife Arlene, who works in the office next door to his, with helping to keep him down to earth and lending a familial air to his Midtown office. She is often his toughest critic when it comes to his openings and closings, frequently helping him go through dozens of revisions until a particular statement packs the appropriate punch. I can spend days, weeks even, preparing a closing argument, says the ever-effusive Mr. Morelli.
Preparation means nothing, of course, if the delivery is off, if the connection to the jury isn't there. But that's not something that Mr. Morelli is concerned about. I can speak to them because I am them, he says. It's how I gain the advantage.

This great value trip with quality boards, daily boat trips, surf guides, coach, twin share accommodation, and meals is the most economical decent surf trip you could hope for. Riding the best boards on the market supplied by Sunova Stand Up Paddle Surfboards and the boys at the Fiji Beachouse. Daily boat trips with additional local surf guide will have you on the best waves of the day. With a dozen of waves to chose from, there will always be something to surf no matter the conditions.
Accommodation is based on twin or double share room at Fiji Beach House. Set within acres of beautiful tropical gardens and abundant green lawns, fringed by a stunning white sandy cove and crystal blue lagoon.

Theres no exact day to day itinerary, the waves on the day will be planned by Moon Tours' experienced local surf guides based around the wind, tides, swell, and what size waves you want to paddle into. With a great SUP wave off the beach, they also have five boats available for daily surf trips depending on conditions.
Group transfers on day one from Nadi International Airport (NAN) is at 9:00 a.m.. You will then meet the crew for a late breakfast or lunch. Relax unwind, unpack, have a nap if you need to. Feeling energised? Lets go surfing. Need an afternoon of rest and relaxation? pull up a sun lounge by the pool or go find a nice bit of shade under a coconut tree on the beach. Watch out for falling coconuts!
Let yourself go, unwind in Fiji time, it's time to relax and surf for the next eight days. You need to be at an intermediate level for this trip but you definitely do not need to be a wave bro or pro.
Frigates, Fiji Pipe, Jay's, Shifties, Sigatoka beach break to the Beachouse wave are a short paddle in front of your resort and many more. It's winter swell time and even though the trades are kicking in, a lot of the waves are off shore in the SE trades which means you will always get a wave.
This also makes for good wave kiting potential. The waves and location here is recommended by Moon Tours' friend, professional SUP surfer, and four time World Kite Surfing Champion, Keahi De Aboitiz.
Leave your board at home! A wide range of Sunova SUP's are included for the entire duration. Sunova Surfboards are the manufacturers of high performance composite sandwich surfboards. Under the tutelage of Shaper of the Year and legendary shaper Bert Burger, Sunova have been pioneering the use of parabolic rail balsa and veneer-skinned surfboards for over 20 years.
Partners, children, and even grandparents welcome, you have the great advantage of travelling together without leaving your loved ones at home. A nanny can be organised from 30 AUD a day.
Daily boat trips out to breaks are included in the price.

KOLYMA (1920) The 29 ton gas screw Kolyma stranded and became a total loss on the northwest side of Sledge Island at 2:45 a.m. Thursday July 22, 1920. The vessel had departed Nome earlier in the day to seek shelter at Sledge Island with two crewmen aboard. John Vatney of Seattle, master of the Kolyma made the following statements in the casualty report:
"North west side of Sledge Island, Alaska….STRANDING" "The wind shifted suddenly to the west and was a gale in a few minutes and the engine refused to work." "There was a gale blowing from the west, very heavy sea, and impossible for anchors to hold vessel…light." "We dropped the second anchor and tried to start the engine, but she struck the reef before engine could be started. There were several vessels there but none of them could render assistance as it was all they could do to get out themselves." "When the anchors started to drag we blew for the ga.s. Genvieve who was close, and asked for assistance. She tried to get a line to us but the sea was so rough she could not. The reason the engines refused to work was that the heavy rolling got water in the cylinders."
The crewmen were able to get to safety but the Kolyma and her cargo became a total loss. She was carrying 30 tons of general merchandise including 75 cases of distillate and coal oil on deck. The vessel was valued at $10,000 and her cargo at $15,000.

The strong westerly wind and heavy seas forced the barge onto the beach in Willow Bay 12 miles NE of Deering in Kotzebue Sound. There was no one aboard and no cargo when the vessel drifted ashore. Charles Daukert, part owner mentioned in the wreck report:
"Expected to get her off this spring but the ice made a total wreck of her during the winter."
The KSL Co Barge No 4 was valued at $700 with nothing but ballast aboard. She last sailed from "Kewalik" bound for Deering. Her owners are listed as Daukert & Reich of Candle

This year's Belfast Festival at Queen's attracted some big names to their talks programme. Here St Etienne offers his assessment on three of this year's big setpiece events: a talk by Lord Ashdown; a panel debate on Carson's Legacy; and the National Anthem theatre production.
By St Etienne
Lord Ashdown
Paddy Ashdown had his chat in a packed out Elmwood Hall – first time I'd been in the place – and as you can imagine he's a very comfortable, but comfortable speaker. Kicked off with an excerpt from his new book! about his time in Bosnia – on the one hand containing his best achievement in life and the worst the very next day. His time in Bosnia obviously deeply affected and influences him.
I'm happy to report the Donaghadee man's greatest smile of the night came as he recounted his days as a young officer in the Royal Marines and then again when he moved on to his time as an operator in the SBS. But what was insightful in all this, as the audience watched a man who it is assumed is now away from the frontline of world affairs, was his responses to questioning. They were not the answers you associate with someone looking back at the end of their career, which while sometimes humorous – "In your time at Westminster who do you think would make the best MP?" "ME!" – also struck me as being sincerely looking to the future, the next challenge.
And I reckon that for Lord Ashdown the next challenge is in Kabul. He turned down a UN role there before, but tellingly only after Karzai himself appeared unwilling to have a 'corruption buster' on board – and after his 'wife told Paddy he couldn't stand idly by while young men put their lives on the line for their country'. That sounded like a speech to go to war on. And if it didn't, the retelling of a tale about the 1879 retreat from Kabul debacle in which the army endured it's worst military defeat showed the audience just where Ashdown's mind is.
Will be watching his next move with interest.
Professors Graham Walker, Paul Bew and Dr Eamonn Phoenix sat in on a packed Elmwood Hall discussion in the 75th anniversary year of Carson's death. Interesting factoids were shared throughout the evening – Carson's family background, his maternal family from the West, the Presbyterianism of his Father, his own romance at the height of the Home Rule crisis, etc – but I found the two apparent 'heavyweights' of the evening hard going. I have always thought that godfather of academic politics Bew to be overrated as a narrator and media personality: while his analysis is undoubtedly incredibly exacting and trustworthy, it is often difficult to follow and at times rather unfocused in term's of a narrative.
Phoenix on the other hand comes across as just another nationalist historian incapable of espousing anything other than his own political dogma on matters of history. Struggling to maintain interest while Phoenix speculated Carson was a 'complete failure' to himself and that he would also have to accept responsibility encouraging later Irish republican violence with the formation of the 1912 UVF. I can only conclude that poor Eamon has not yet read up on the history of Irish republicanism pre-1900 and is therefore unfortunately ignorant of a couple of centuries of Irish 'political' violence and the fact that the 1912 paramilitaries – both nationalist and unionist – remained untried in terms of violent effect. If Phoenix felt Carson was a failure for delivering partition I wonder what he thought of the republicans of the time.
No matter – Prof Walker came across as a hidden diamond in the discussion. I had not heard of him before, but frequently he tied up disjointed and rambling efforts from the other two contributors with succinct and interesting analysis – I'd like to hear more from him in future or at least give the other has-beens a lesson or two in how to raconteur successfully.
Undoubtedly Carson was on the inside a brilliant manifestation of contradictory thought and influences – no better a question then that from within – that delivered to an external audience perhaps the most professional articulation of Irish Unionist thought and argument in the perennial battle for understanding at the mother of all parliaments. Certainly among his contemporaries he was unrivalled and as Walker noted the leader of Ulster Unionism Craig with his worldly acumen recognised this at an early stage. The result was to elevate this personality to pop history's saviour of a people while in comparison his courthouse contemporary on the other side of the divide John Redmond barely gets a look-in ahead of the more violent personalities of the age.
It's true about who writes the history books.
National Anthem
On the final day of the festival I went for Colin Bateman's National Anthem, a play that hits on the ludicrousies of what passes for current political life in Northern Ireland. I'm a big fan of Bateman, not just for the fact that he's an incredibly funny writing talent, but also for the fact that his caustic wit reduces the self-absorbed world of the political spectrum here – media and politicians alike – to the comedy that too often remains unchallenged.
One thing that wasn't comedy however was the steep 10% surcharge for booking online. My gut instinct is that companies pay for their expensive little ecommerce shopping carts this way. This isn't 1998 anymore. However, the play.
George Best vs Bobby Sands, the Department of Thankyous and a National Animal – this may be his first play but it's pure Bateman gold. Bateman was interviewed prior saying he found the medium challenging – unlike a book or screenplay he has to keep nailing the dialogue in order to keep a live audience interested. And he starts off all guns blazing – the exchange between the two main protagonists builds up a sense of the contradictory narrative various elements of NI have been spun up to where we are. The biting pace lessens into a more non-descript humour-in-vulgarity fare when the pair leave momentarily but returns for the twist in the tale.
One thing, all through the performance I was completely prepared for an ending with no anthem in sight. But unlike the society it gently mocks, there is no fudge from Bateman. The surprising thing is it's actually a decent shot at something Northern Irish – with not a small hint of Windsor Park's "We'll Support You Evermore" about it – and I loved it when everyone was morally obliged to their feet, the usher bringing in the words on blackboard, and the cast blasted out a 2nd rendition of our anthem. Maybe they're prone to dramatics but actor Alan McKee (Mouse in Divorcing Jack) definitely had something in his eye at the end.
Hoofing effort all round. Really enjoyed everything about this. Far from the tired old Hole in the Wall Group cliches – this was a sharp, funny description of the NI we live in today. Bateman needs to do more of everything he does, because I've yet to experience a peer in his field.
