STEM Professional of the week
|David Jauregui
Texas Instruments
David Jauregui found his passion for engineering in the form of an electric control car at the age of 7, when he took it upon himself to troubleshoot and repair the broken toy for fear that the alternative would leave him toy less. This small but fundamental action, exposed David to a new world of batteries, switches and all sorts of different electronic components but most of all introduced him to a genuine affinity for the engineering field.
A first-generation Mexican-American, David learned from his parents that an education would be the key for his future success. David's parents lived a farmer's lifestyle and having immigrated to this country, they did not know how to involve themselves with the U.S. educational system in order to take advantage of the available programs. Although they were unable to provide guidance or the financial backing for David to continue his education, they did provide unwavering support, motivation and encouragement for the completion of his engineering degree.
With a full time job and a high school diploma under his belt, David decided to pursue an electrical engineering degree. He enrolled at ITT Technical Institute, which would allow him to continue working full time and take classes in the evenings. While attending school, David was hired by International Rectifier to work as an entry-level test engineer. Although this position required him to take a significant pay cut from what he was making in his full time job, David knew this would be the opportunity that would give him the necessary experience and lead to a career in his chosen field of electrical engineering. His intuition proved correct.
Today, David works as an Advanced Technology Manager for Texas Instruments (TI), where he heads an industry leading team of innovators in the creation of Low, Medium and High Voltage MOSFET device technology development. He also leads the system and applications and the test development teams for the MOSFET business unit. In the past five years with the company, David has enabled other TI product lines to use the MOSFET technologies to create highly differentiated power products.
David is known for his ability to recognize next generation and innovation technologies. His technical achievements are rooted in a deep understanding of market and consumers' needs, which result in outstanding business success. Over the course of his 18 year career, he has acquired 4 patents and developed more than 30 innovative products that generated over $600 million in revenue. His career has been focused on the development of power semiconductors in an industry that has seen an exponential rate of growth and change. His involvement in the design and the development of leading-edge power semiconductors has led to the creation of industry-leading products that drive not only innovation, but cost and size.
David graduated from ITT Technical Institute with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering and received a master's degree in engineering management from the University of Southern California. He currently lives in Pennsylvania and is married with four children. David was honored by Great Minds in STEM in October with a 2014 Luminary Award.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) is holding its first summit since India and Pakistan joined the bloc which is widely seem by observers as a means for blocking American influence in Central Asia.
The founding members of the alliance are China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. The summit is being held in the eastern Chinese coastal city of Qingdao.
Chinese President Xi Jingping told the group in opening remarks Sunday, "We should reject selfish, short-sighted, narrow and closed-
off policies.We must maintain the rules of the World Trade Organization, support the multilateral trade system and build an open global economy."
Political analysts see the Chinese leader's remarks as a thinly veiled reference to the chaos at the recent G-7 summit in Canada where the U.S. and its allies were divided by escalating trade tensions.
After leaving the G-7 meeting, U.S. President Donald Trump described Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as "meek and mild" and "dishonest & weak."
Trump also withdrew his endorsement of the G-7 summit's communique.

Awards, Recognition, Kudos' and High-Fives
No matter how you put it, it's time to pay it forward!
I was so blessed to have been the recipient of two amazing awards this week. The first was from Denise at Shorty Bear's Place. Denise has been so amazing, she sends me E-cards everyday encouraging me during this storm of my own I am facing and can't tell you how much it means to wake up to that kind of encouragement in your email. I love you Denise!
So here's how it works:
What I would "Like" for you to do: (after all, it is now yours):
1. Write your own Storm Dancer story. I shared my story with you below:
2. Grab the award code above, and put it in your Storm Dance story post and/or sidebar. You've earned it!
3. Pass this award onto 7 people. If you receive the award but are the type of person that isn't into writing and sending out awards...don't worry, just wear it proudly or do as you wish. Here is my Storm Dancer story:
In November, I remember waking up with a nagging pain in my lower left ab area, normal at times for my monthly cycle. So it didn't phase me much until a week passed and so did my cycle but the pain remained. In fact in lasted so long it wasn't until past Thanksgiving that I believed it may be something serious.
I went to the ER and was told that I had gallstones that would require surgery as well as something causing severe inflammation around my lower colon. I was admitted. A internist determined that I did not require surgery for my gallbladder and left. I was scheduled the next day to meet with an OBGYN and Gastro Dr. Yet during the night the hospital refused to give me anything for the pain. I was asked to wait until the doctors were in before they would give me anything, so I checked myself out. Went home and took some pain meds. I told my hubby, I would seek both doctors on my own to check things out.
The Gastro Dr. I attempted to book an appointment with was out of town and I would have to wait for a month. The OBGYN doctor after a month, agreed to meet.
To make a long story short, two OBGYN's later misdiagnosised me and saw nothing wrong. They even refused to refill my pain meds thinking I was an addict.
The final OBGYN, determined through an ultrasound that something wasn't right and scheduled surgery to determine what was going on, because I had a mass of some kind. Just want any woman wants to hear right?
After surgery for a partial hysterectomy, I still have my right ovary to keep my hormones balanced, I was told, my uterus was 3 times the size it should be and was so wrapped up in endometriain tissue that it was immobile, not only that I had numerous fibroid tumors, cysts all over my left ovary and so much endometrian tissue that it literally had glued my ovary to the wall of my colon. The next day I went home and 7 weeks later, I am a whole new woman. This was completed on March 25th of this year. So from November to March, I lived a life of chronic and debilitating pain. I was basically bed bound until my diagnosis and surgery in March. I lived on strong pain killers but thankfully I am free from that as well.
Through it all, my faith soared. Those who know me know that I feared surgery more than living with pain my whole life, and faithful prayer warriors prayed that night before and during my surgery and low, here I am today. Stronger in my faith, knowing that ALL things are possible with God.
You just may have to endure it a whole lot longer than you want, but HE never left me. He walked through those long, endless valleys and we both stood, tall on the mountain top that day.
So now, my dearest readers, here is the 7 people whom I want to pass this award to as well to share their own "Storm Dancer" stories:
1. Andrea at Arise 2 Write.
2. Loren at The Magoo's News
3. Kurt at Some Things I Have Learned
4. Tabitha at I Choose Bliss
5. Steve at Gotta Have Faith
6. Rosel at Off The Beaten Trek
7. Christy at The Secret Life of An American Wife and Mom
Lastly my brother, Kurt, from Some Things I Have Learned passed along a beautiful award to me yesterday. If you have never met Kurt, you're missing out on a beautiful story of a brother in Christ and a true man of God. Love you Kurt.
Here are the rules:
The rules for me to accept this award state that "I must list 7 things you don't know about me.
1. I struggle in my faith daily, believe it or not. There are moments in my day that I just fall apart, but I am getting better with certain things.
2. I still have not spoken to my dad who is still living for over 13 years. I am hoping to fix this on Tuesday.
3. I love Joyce Meyer, secretly I think she is related to me, because I just love her gumption and honesty.
4. My parents divorced when I was 7 and I thought it was amazing and a true blessing in disguise.
5. I love chocolate! Dark Chocolate is my favorite and I have to have some in the house at all times. You just never know when spiritual battle will call for reinforcements of chocolate.
6. My favorite colors are black and purple. Love that color combination.
7. Butterflies are really called Flitterbys and I love when God sends them to visit me.
So here are 7 wonderful people I am passing this award on to:
1. Denise at Shorty Bear's Place
2. Sunshine at Such Life In The Tropics.
3. Thena at Patiently Waiting
4. Niecy at LiveLaughLove
5. Mimi at He & Me + 3
6. Mamarazzi at Dandelion Wishes
7. Angel at All The Mus
Congratulations to all those that no only are being blessed with these awards but praying that they will light up someone's day that they are passed on to!

Electronic devices of the future will use wireless communication down to the chip level. An interdisciplinary, Nottingham-led, consortium of mathematicians, physicists and electrical engineers from the University of Nottingham, the University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, the Technical University Munich, the Institut Supérieur de l'Aeronautique & de l'Espace, Toulouse, IMST GmbH, Germany, NXPSemi-conductors and CST AG, Germany, will provide the design tools for wireless Chip-to- Chip (C2C) communication, which will be essential for this future technology. The scientific challenges will be tackled with the help of substantial funding from Horizon 2020, amounting in total to 3.4 Mio Euros.
Wireless C2C communication and wireless links between printed circuit boards operating as Multiple-Input Multiple-Output devices will become dominant features of future generations of integrated circuits and chip architectures. This will help in overcoming the information bottleneck due to wired connections and will lead to a new era of chip architectures. The design of wireless C2C networks can, however, not be done with today's engineering software tools. New, efficient modelling strategies for describing and exploiting noisy electromagnetic fields in complex environments are necessary to take into account input signals of modern communication systems being modulated, coded, noisy and eventually disturbed by other signals and the environment and thus extremely complex. Device modelling and chip optimization procedures need to be based on the underlying physics, that is, the electromagnetic fields, including accurate noise models and complex interference pattern.
Recent advances in Nottingham both in mathematical physics (Drs Gregor Tanner and Stephen Creagh) and electrical engineering (Prof Dave Thomas) in handling complex – chaotic – wave fields will play an important part in addressing these challenges. Wireless C2C technology needs increasingly sophisticated physical models of wireless interconnects and associated signal-processing strategies provided by the partners. New insights into wave modelling in complex environments based on dynamical systems and random matrix theory are needed to envisage wireless communication on a chip level. Electromagnetic field shaping will enable efficient energy transfer between antennas in complex networks of chips subject to strong interference. This opens up new pathways for chip design, for carrier frequency ranges as well as for energy efficiency and miniaturisation.

How St. Thomas Saved The Church
On the second Sunday of Easter we always read the story of doubting Thomas from the Gospel of John. Thomas is not present when Jesus first appears to the Apostles and when he is told of the appearance he says that unless he sees for himself he will not believe.
Dr. Elaine Pagel is a professor from Princeton and writes interesting books about the faith, usually taking a slightly off beat approach.
I heard her speak and she suggested that at the time John's Gospel was written the Gospel of Thomas was being widely read by Christians in the early church. The Gospel of Thomas and numerous other books enjoyed a wide following in the early church, but did not make it into what we know as the New Testament for various reasons. Anyway she thought that John intentionally wrote Thomas into his Gospel in an unflattering way and to show a Thomas at odds with some of the teachings in the Gospel of Thomas. (That John! Thomas has no lines in any other Gospel.)
Here are the three places Thomas appears in the Gospel of John.
1.John 11:14 - 16
Then Jesus told them plainly, 'Lazarus is dead. For your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.' Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, 'Let us also go, that we may die with him.'
Unless you got an invite to the Alamo how is 'Let us also go, that we may die with him,' the right response.
2. John 14
After Jesus tells the Apostles In my Father's house there are many rooms I go to prepare a place for you, Thomas says to him, 'Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?'
3.Then in the upper room resurrection appearance John gives us 'doubting Thomas.'
John 20:24- 25 But Thomas (who was called the Twin), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, 'We have seen the Lord.' But he said to them, 'Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.'
I say God works in mysterious ways, because John meant to disparage Thomas and the teachings of the Gospel of Thomas but really what he did was save the Church from itself.
I want to embrace Thomas's questioning, His uncertainty, his desire for evidence, his doubts and I want to tell you I think they are the salvation of Christianity.
What is the opposite of Thomas's position it is certainty. And religion with certainty is not pretty.
Religion with certainty is a scary thing.
Religion with certainty looks like the Old Testament Stories in Joshua and Judges where the editor believe that God wanted the Israelites to exterminate the Canaanites who were in the land before them. (There is internal textual evidence and archeological evidence to indicate they did not exterminate the Canaanites.)
It looks like the Sadducees and the Pharisees who Jesus is always at odds with in the gospels because they have boxed in God with all their rules and made God very small.
It looks like the crusades and Christian soldiers attacking Muslims in the streets of Jerusalem.
It looks like the Spanish inquisition and people being tortured for their beliefs.
It looks like the witch trials that spread across Europe and the US in the 16 and 17 hundreds.
It looks like slavery, apartheid and segregation defended with biblical texts.
It looks like Christians and Muslims fighting each other in the Sudan.
It looks like the Taliban.
It looks like the American manufacturer who put biblical inscriptions on the gun sights of military rifles destined for Iraq.
It looks like the excommunication of divorced people.
It looks like an all-male priest hood.
Religious certainty can be very ugly. We need the right and ability to say is this really what God meant for us to do and Thomas more than anyone else gives me the right to question my brothers and sisters in the church.
But to bring it down to you and I.
You might think it would be nice to have a faith where someone could explain every piece of symbolism, doctrine and tradition. A faith where every church leader would rattle off the same pre-memorized answer to every moral or theological question you might ask but such a faith creates a very small understanding of God that often leaves us unprepared for the surprises life has in store for us.
I embrace my doubts and my questions because they are part of living into the mystery that is God.
My questions and doubts are an admission that though God can fully know me I cannot fully know nor understand God. Did we really get it right when we wrote the Nicene Creed or is this simply the best word s we can find to express the mystery that is God?
Does our understanding of the Trinity truly provide the best way to explain the mystery of the relationship between the Father, Son and Holy Ghost? I stand on what I believe but I remain open to all that I may not yet understand. I am free to think about God and free to get it wrong as I struggle to get it right if there is a right.
I want to live into the mystery of God.
On the front of our altar and on our baptismal font we have the letters IHS, on our cross we have the letters in Greek that look more like IHR which are really Greek letters IHC. These are monograms for Christ but in reality we are not certain of their origins or actually which names for Jesus they refer to. You can easily find three or for explanations including the English interpretations of 'In His Steps,' and 'In His Suffering." In truth we know it means Jesus but its true origins and meanings are a mystery.
I invite you to embrace a faith not shrouded in mystery but revealed through mystery.
My questions and doubts help me from follow in the ways of God. I live out the gospel as I understand the calling of God in this time and this place, but my questions and doubts allow me to live with an openness that I can always do better and know better and maybe act better. We corporately believed in an all-male priesthood until we were convicted of our sexism. We excluded people who were divorced or gay or who we stigmatized in some other way until we admitted that our actions caused pain and did nothing to show forth the love of God.
We have improved the way we understand and relate to animals but we need to be better. We have improved how we treat and use the planet but we need to do better. We have improved medicine but we need to do better and increase its availability to all. The list goes on. If we held to certainty we would refuse to hear the cries of creation and of God's children who are not us. Our willingness to question ourselves leaves us open to truth we do not yet know.
I pray to be protected from the self-righteousness of certainty while at the same time being delivered from the paralysis of uncertainty.
My questions and doubts expose me to God revealed in mystery and leave me able to join St. Thomas who in the end says, 'My Lord and my God!'

State Street Corporation, a New York Stock Exchange-listed firm, today announced opening of a new Centre of Excellence (CoE) here, and an expanded facility in Bengaluru.
The company has 2,800 employees in India across its offices in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad. Over the next 12 months it will expand its existing facility in Bengaluru and build a new centre in Hyderabad, it said in a statement.
Jay Hooley, State Street's chairman and chief executive officer, who was in India to officially open the new offices, said the company established a presence in India 10 years ago and has become a key component of the Centre of Excellence network.
"This network gives us the coverage necessary to deliver services to clients more effectively and efficiently.
Adopting a `follow-the-sun' model enables us to take advantage of time zone differences to optimise workflows and deliver more timely services to our clients," Hooley said.

For as long as I can remember, my pastor, at every offering will say, "Give as God tells you to." This applies to all of us, even the children.
My kids have been earning money for a couple years now, doing their work around the house. They have things they are required to do because they are a part of our family; it's just their normal duty. But then they each have one job that can earn them money. This is a fantastic way to teach in so many ways!
Each child has a chart on the fridge for the month. I laminated it so that each month we only have to erase the dates and rewrite in the new with a dry erase marker.
For my older two, their job will pay $1, and they have the opportunity to do it once a week. My youngest son's job is done almost daily, and will earn him 10 cents. When they do their job, they write a "C" for chore on the chart. They also must get a parent to initial the chart saying the job was well done.
Sometimes I offer "mystery dollars" which is marked with an "M" on the date it's given. I was finding that every time I asked for help, it was always the other persons turn. No one wanted to offer their assistance to me. Now I randomly try to choose one job that will be worth a dollar. They won't find out it was worth money until after the job is completed. This means they never know if a job mom is asking about could earn them a potential extra dollar. I love how well this works! I rarely have trouble getting work done around the house.
I also use the chart to keep track of groundings. I am always forgetting who I told they were grounded, and for how long. Not an issue anymore. When they are grounded the kids have to add a "G" to the chart. It makes it so much easier on me, and I'm able to be a more consistent parent.
Every first and third Saturday of the month is payday. This has taught them the value of a dollar, when it's their hard earned money. It's even been a lesson on credit. Many times they will try to convince me that they have money coming to them, and can they pay later? I always say, "Absolutely Not." I want them to learn from a very young age that credit is not something to be played around with. They must learn patience.
Since we treat this "chore" like a job, there are days the kids have been fired with no pay. They cannot complain and whine. If we were their boss in the "real world" we wouldn't tolerate that kind of attitude for long. They also must do a good job at it. I have made them go back and fix their mistakes many times.
We have used this chart for year now. It has been very successful. The kids love having the freedom to choose whatever they want to buy with their money. Most of the time they are a little bit more choosy about how they spend it. They realize the value of their toys now. That's like 3 or 4 months of work! Of course this depends on what they set their heart on purchasing.
Another big part of this "job" my kids have is our responsibility in teaching them about giving and saving. We always apply the rule, "You give some, you save some, and THEN you spend some." I always tell them they need to ask God how much money He wants them to give... because it's His money anyways.
I desire for my children to be generous. I want them to learn the value of giving to others, especially when it costs you something. It's easy to give away mom and dad's money. It's not as easy to give away what you worked hard for.
On Wednesday night, I was so touched by my son's giving. I happened to glimpse the envelope sitting next to me. I encourage the kids to use a giving envelope so they can see how much they gave at the end of the year. It's something to look forward to. If it had been me putting my 15 cents in the offering, I probably would have just written my name on the envelope, not thinking to divide it up.
Actually I wouldn't have even thought to give it. In my pride I would have thought the pennies were worthless, and I would have held onto them.
But to Gabe, this money was all he had. He wasn't giving from his surplus. He was giving his best to God. I thought it was so sweet how he divided up his 15 cents. I teared up when I saw that he wanted Kidsweek to get 10 cents of it. For where your heart is... there your money will follow.
"Sitting across from the offering box, he was observing how the crowd tossed money in for the collection. Many of the rich were making large contributions. One poor widow came up and put in two small coins—a measly two cents. Jesus called his disciples over and said, "The truth is that this poor widow gave more to the collection than all the others put together. All the others gave what they'll never miss; she gave extravagantly what she couldn't afford—she gave her all." Mark 12:44

$1200 Bonus Package
$2000 Welcome Bonus
Code: ITWIN1
Zeus Play
From Bulgaria comes Zeus Play, an igaming developer that has made over 50 online casino games, including 2016 release Eternal Desire.
Top Zeus Play Online Casinos
Zeus Playis a white-label provider of igaming software to the global online gambling industry. The developer operates out of a head office in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria, and creates software solutions to meet a number of different needs.
Software Strengths
This is a software developer with strengths in three core areas. These include land-based gaming cabinets, software infrastructure for online casino sites, and general igaming content. By January 2016, Zeus Playclaimed to have developed more than 50 online casino games.
Gaming Content
Zeus Play has created many more video slots than table games, which is to be expected among igaming software developers. Quite simply, this is because video slots allow for greater diversity because of the various stories and themes that can be covered.
Thus far, Zeus Play can be credited with the development of video slots such as Page of Fortune, Underwater Pearls, Disco Fever, Trojan Horse, Viva Roma, Honey Money, Candy Land, and Guardian of the Sand. The most innovative slot, though, would have to be Eternal Desire, which is designed to display 20 symbols instead of only 15.
Zeus Playneeds to invest in new table games if the developer is to enhance its wider library. Currently, the only options are European Roulette 3D and Royal Poker. At the very least, the developer has to create a blackjack game.
Jackpots and Bonuses
Partners can also turn to Zeus Play for dedicated jackpot and bonus systems in the form of Golden Fever and Magician Bonus, respectively. These are intended to let casino partners engage their players with exciting new elements.

New York Magazine Blurbs Camp Marmalade by Wayne Koestenbaum
Rachel Kushner in New York Magazine shouts out how Wayne Koestenbaum's Camp Marmalade is on her top list of things she can't live without!
Here's what she has to say about the book:
"Come on who doesn't want to go to Camp Marmalade? I'll go wherever putto, poet, painter and — little did you know — lounge crooner and ivory tinkler Wayne Koestenbaum wants to take me. But this new poetry collection, ostensibly culled from W.K.'s daily journals, and beautifully bound in a handsome shade of melon (or marmalade), looks excellent with a black outfit and offers great escapes into the cold streams and warm zephyrs of Camp K."

Intellectual Property and Copyright
Learning Objectives
• Define and give examples of intellectual property.
• Define copyright.
• Define and discuss examples of the fair use of copyrighted materials.
• Apply the copyright law and Creative Commons tools to personal and professional works.
• Discuss options for searching for fair use materials.
• Define and identify examples of plagiarism and ways to avoid it.
Intellectual property are tangible or intangible products of the human intellect.
Patents protect inventions.
Trademarks protect product brands.
Copyright protects creators of original literary, dramatic, musical, and artistic works.
Intellectual Property and the ALA Code of Ethics
Librarians are concerned with a wide range of topics and issues related to intellectual property.
Librarians respect the intellectual property rights of information owners, but also advocate for the rights of those seeking information.
ALA's Code of Ethics states
"We respect intellectual property rights and advocate balance between the interests of information users and rights holders."
Copyright is a legal construct giving the creator of a work exclusive rights to their intellectual property.
The copyright owner determines who may financially gain from the work, who can copy and distribute the work, and how the work should be credited.
Fair Use of Copyrighted Material
Fair use provides limits to the exclusive rights of copyright holders.
For instance, articles can be copied for private use only.
Four factors determine fair use and all conditions must be met:
- purpose and character of the use
- nature of the copyrighted work
- amount and substantiality of the portion used
- effect of the use upon the potential value

Go to Can I Use That Picture? Think about photos you find online. Try applying the infographic.
Laws and Rules Governing Fair Use
A number of laws and rules impact fair use of materials. For instance, interlibrary loan is an issue when copies of materials are created.
Limits have been placed on the number of requests and number of items.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 addresses issues related to digital materials.
The TEACH Act of 2002 allows extended fair use for online instruction.
When you create your own projects, you may wish to add a license for their use.
The two most common options are those supported by the GNU or Creative Commons.
Sometimes referred to as "copyleft" instead of "copyright," this type of license assures freedom to share with or without specific restrictions.
GNU General Public License
Many software developers distribute their software under the GNU General Public License.
According to the Free Software Foundation,
"licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users."
They also state that "we protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software." Finally, they remind people that "free software is a matter of liberty not price. You should think of "free" as in "free speech."
There are different types of licenses. For example, the GNU Free Documentation License is intended for use on a manual, textbook or other document to assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it, with or without modifications, either commercially or non commercially.
Creative Commons
Creative Commons is a nonprofit organization that offers flexible copyright licenses to meet specific needs. Like the GNU licensing, there are different options.
Some of the options include:
- Attribution (CC BY). You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work but only if they give you credit. (Required for Creative Commons licenses)
- Share-Alike (CC BY-SA). You allow others to distribute derivative works only under a license identical to the license that governs your work.
- No-Derivitive-Works (CC BY-ND). You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform only verbatim copies of your work, not derivative works based upon it.
- Non-Commercial (CC BY-NC). You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your work, but for noncommercial purposes only.
There are also other combinations possible including CC BY-NC-SA and CC BY NC-ND.
Try It!
Go to the Creative Commons License Chooser. Explore the options.
Advanced Searches and Usage Rights
Many web search engines provide tools that allow users to search for items with particular licenses.
For instance, the Google Advanced Search provides an option for Usage Rights including a filter for particular licenses.
Flickr Advanced Search is an example of an image file sharing website that provides usage search options.

The alarm rings, and all you want to do is stay in bed for an extra five more minutes. The next thing you know you're rushing out of the door without time for breakfast. We totally get it; we've all been there before.
But there's a reason why breakfast is the most important meal of the day. After a long night of sleep (that's approximately 7 to 9 hours without food), breakfast offers fresh fuel for the body and the brain. It charges us with energy and provides nutrients that can increase concentration. Studies have even shown that eating breakfast can help improve memory and moods, while also lowering stress levels.
So even if you're in a hurry, make sure to eat breakfast. Here at Qoola, we offer plenty of healthy on-the-go options.
Our breakfast wrap is made with eggs, ham, spinach, cheddar cheese and bacon, all wrapped in a tortilla shell. It's a great source of protein, fiber, calcium, iron, and vitamin A—everything you need to start the day off with a smile.
Or try our Acai Bowl, packed with acai berries straight from Brazil, which contain lots of antioxidants that are great for the body. Topped with banana and granola, this breakfast treat will surely give you that extra boost.
We also offer the Avocado Toast, a favorite dish among health foodies. Full of healthy monounsaturated fat and protein, avocados are naturally high in fiber, potassium and vitamins.
Better yet, try one of our fresh vegetable and fruit smoothies, that can be tailored according to your taste buds!

memory holes by Erin Virgil
(Monkey Puzzle Press, Harrison, Arkansas, 2014)
memory holes is well-crafted work, and deceptively so. "Deceptively" because this memoir is rooted in darkness: the first section "withdrawal" handbook* is about withdrawing from Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), the second section "offers other people's memoirs" which are replete with loss and desire as they should be as they're harvested from Craigs List want ads, and the third section is about living in an RV which is a lifestyle inherently singed with uncertainty (where to park tonight?). Yet, there's a light—and lightness—in Erin Virgil's telling/re-telling that alleviates the dark: despair does not have a strong presence in these tales.
So how did the author lift despair out of these dark moments? One can't know for sure but I suspect the writer's observing eye (it's professional in its distancing!), self-awareness and compassion allows her to rise above if not survive what could be debilitating. For example, this discerning excerpt from "withdrawal handbook":
Did you take:
and were you still sad in your heart?
In a recent post on her blog, Virgil discussed meditation, which I mention as just an example of what I perceive to be her efforts to increase (self-) awareness . Such seems to have strengthened this memoir. For example, from the apt but poignantly titled "want ads"—
Ok, so you must be normal and sane and not an ex-murderer and all that stuff. You must be able to carry on a conversation, or at least act like you're paying attention. You must NOT be looking for a sugar momma. You must be fairly tall (over 6 feet) and not have a mustache. Brownie points if you are Southern. Actually, on second thought, you must NOT be a relocated yankee.
Loneliness is often marked by false bravado. I do it too. Demanding something so specific from the vastness of the internet: good luck.
Her astute observation and then penetrating insight into what's observed is welcomingly sparkled by humor: "I am the better space cadet" (27)
Tough circumstances. But Virgil maintains nothing less than equipoise.
Eileen Tabios does not let her books be reviewed by Galatea Resurrects because she's its editor (the exception would be anthologies she edits because they focus on other poets as well). She is pleased, though, to point you elsewhere to recent reviews of her work. Soffwana Yasmnin engages her poem "Jade" from her THE THORN ROSARY: SELECTED PROSE POEMS AND NEW (19980-2010) . Her latest book, 147 MILLION ORPHANS (MMXI-MML), is also reviewed by Joey Madia at New Mystics Reviews as well as at Book Masons Cafe Press Website and Literary Aficionado.
And her latest anthology as editor, VERSES TYPHOON YOLANDA, receives an engagement in this issue of GR by Aileen Ibardaloza; at Manila Standard Today by Jenny Ortuoste; at North American Review by Vince Gotera; and at Philippine Inquirer by Luis H. Francia.

Biography: Frank Sinatra Special Album Coaster Collector Set
Biography by William Ruhlmann
Frank Sinatra was arguably the most important popular music figure of the 20th century, his only real rivals for the title being Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley, and the Beatles. In a professional career that lasted 60 years, he demonstrated a remarkable ability to maintain his appeal and pursue his musical goals despite often countervailing trends. He came to the fore during the swing era of the 1930s and '40s, helped to define the ""sing era"" of the '40s and '50s, and continued to attract listeners during the rock era that began in the mid-'50s. He scored his first number one hit in 1940 and was still making million-selling recordings in 1994. This popularity was a mark of his success at singing and promoting the American popular song as it was written, particularly in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s. He was able to take the work of great theater composers of that period, such as Jerome Kern, Irving Berlin, George Gershwin, Cole Porter, and Richard Rodgers, and reinterpret their songs for later audiences in a way that led to their rediscovery and their permanent enshrinement as classics. On records and in live performances, on film, radio, and television, he consistently sang standards in a way that demonstrated their perennial appeal.
The son of a fireman, Sinatra dropped out of high school in his senior year to pursue a career in music. In September 1935, he appeared as part of the vocal group the Hoboken Four on Major Bowes' Original Amateur Hour. The group won the radio show contest and toured with Bowes. Sinatra then took a job as a singing waiter and MC at the Rustic Cabin in Englewood, NJ. He was still singing there in the spring of 1939, when he was heard over the radio by trumpeter Harry James, who had recently organized his own big band after leaving Benny Goodman. James hired Sinatra, and the new singer made his first recordings on July 13, 1939. At the end of the year, Sinatra accepted an offer from the far more successful bandleader Tommy Dorsey, jumping to his new berth in January 1940. Over the next two and a half years, he was featured on 16 Top Ten hits recorded by Dorsey, among them the chart-topper ""I'll Never Smile Again,"" later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. During this period, he also performed on various radio shows with Dorsey and appeared with the band in the films Las Vegas Nights (1941) and Ship Ahoy (1942).
In January 1942, he tested the waters for a solo career by recording a four-song session arranged and conducted by Axel Stordahl that included Cole Porter's ""Night and Day,"" which became his first chart entry under his own name in March 1942. Soon after, he gave Dorsey notice. Sinatra left the Dorsey band in September 1942. The recording ban called by the American Federation of Musicians, which had begun the previous month, initially prevented him from making records, but he appeared on a 15-minute radio series, Songs By Sinatra, from October through the end of the year and also did a few live dates. His big breakthrough came due to his engagement as a support act to Benny Goodman at the Paramount Theatre in New York, which began on New Year's Eve. It made him a popular phenomenon, the first real teen idol, with school girls swooning in the aisles. RCA Victor, which had been doling out stockpiled Dorsey recordings during the strike, scored with ""There Are Such Things,"" which had a Sinatra vocal; it hit number one in January 1943, as did ""In the Blue of the Evening,"" another Dorsey record featuring Sinatra, in August, while a third Dorsey/Sinatra release, ""It's Always You,"" hit the Top Five later in the year, and a fourth, ""I'll Be Seeing You,"" reached the Top Ten in 1944. Columbia, which controlled the Harry James recordings, reissued the four-year-old ""All or Nothing at All,"" re-billed as being by Frank Sinatra with Harry James & His Orchestra, and it hit number one in September. Meanwhile, the label had signed Sinatra as a solo artist, and in
a temporary loophole to the recording ban, put him in the studio to record a cappella, backed only by a vocal chorus. This resulted in four Top Ten hits in 1943, among them ""People Will Say We're in Love"" from Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II's musical Oklahoma!, and a fifth in early 1944 (""I Couldn't Sleep a Wink Last Night"") before protests from the musicians union ended a cappella recording.
In February 1943, Sinatra was hired by the popular radio series Your Hit Parade, on which he performed through the end of 1944. Adding to his radio duties, he appeared from June through October on Broadway Bandbox and in the fall again took up the Songs by Sinatra show, which ran through December. In January, it was expanded to a half-hour as The Frank Sinatra Show, which ran for a year and a half. In April 1943, he made his first credited appearance in a motion picture, singing ""Night and Day"" in Reveille With Beverly. This was followed by Higher and Higher, released in December, in which he had a small acting role, playing himself, and by Step Lively, released in July 1944, which gave him a larger part. MGM was sufficiently impressed by these performances to put him under contract. The recording ban was lifted in November 1944, and Sinatra returned to making records, beginning with a cover of Irving Berlin's ""White Christmas"" that was in the Top Ten before the end of the year. Among his eight recordings to peak in the Top Ten in 1945 were Jule Styne and Sammy Cahn's ""Saturday Night (Is the Loneliest Night of the Week),"" Johnny Mercer's ""Dream,"" Styne and Cahn's ""I Should Care,"" and ""If I Loved You"" and ""You'll Never Walk Alone"" from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical Carousel. Sinatra insisted that Styne and Cahn be hired to write the songs for his first MGM musical, Anchors Aweigh, and over the course of his career, the singer recorded more songs by Cahn (a lyricist who worked with several composers) than by any other songwriter. Anchors Aweigh, in which Sinatra was paired with Gene Kelly, was released in July 1945 and went on to become the most successful film of the year.
Sinatra returned to radio in September with a new show bearing an old name, Songs by Sinatra. It ran weekly for the next two seasons, concluding in June 1947. Among his eight Top Ten hits in 1946 were two that hit number one (""Oh! What It Seemed to Be"" and Styne and Cahn's ""Five Minutes More""), as well as ""They Say It's Wonderful"" and ""The Girl That I Marry"" from Irving Berlin's musical Annie Get Your Gun, Jerome Kern's ""All Through the Day,"" and Kurt Weill's ""September Song."" He also topped the album charts with the collection The Voice of Frank Sinatra. His only film appearance for the year came in Till the Clouds Roll By, a biography of the recently deceased Kern, in which he sang ""Ol' Man River.""
By 1947, Sinatra's early success had crested, though he continued to work steadily in several media. On radio, he returned to the cast of Your Hit Parade in September 1947, appearing on the series for the next two seasons, then had his own 15-minute show, Light-Up Time, during 1949-1950. On film, he appeared in five more movies through the end of the decade, including both big-budget MGM musicals like On the Town and minor efforts such as The Kissing Bandit. He scored eight Top Ten hits in 1947-1949, including ""Mam'selle,"" which hit number one in May 1947, and ""Some Enchanted Evening,"" from the Rodgers & Hammerstein musical South Pacific. He also hit the Top Ten of the album charts with 1947's Songs by Sinatra and 1948's Christmas Songs by Sinatra. Sinatra's career was in decline by the start of the '50s, but he was far from inactive. He entered the fall of 1950 with both a new radio show and his first venture into television. On radio, there was Meet Frank Sinatra, which found the singer acting as a disc jockey; it ran through the end of the season. On TV, there was The Frank Sinatra Show, a musical-variety series

Re: my first date with a chinese girl tonight!
Damn right, congratulations! it's a whole different level of politeness and friendliness.
Asian girls may be flatter on average, but the standard deviation is great
Also If you are a legs+shorts dude, this is the right hemisphere.
1)Too much of one thing defeats the purpose.
2)Everybody is full of it. What's your hypocrisy?

We hear quite a bit about the dire straits of the United States' economy these days; specifically in Northern Michigan where unemployment wants to rise to 10 percent.
So while much of the daily coffeehouse discussion (Oh wait, Starbucks closed in Gaylord) is about the bad news, it's not all bad. North Country Aviation in Gaylord has just bought a jet, the first in their fleet.
Some will say that the direct impact of this event is almost nil compared with the number of people Meijer will hire, let alone the number a theme park in Grayling might employ (if it ever comes to fruition).
North Country caters to a business crowd. They fly places to bring people here and they feel there is reason enough to have bought a jet.

After a rash of reported illnesses and deaths that were linked to poorly-cleaned flexible endoscopes in the summer of 2015, the FDA has implicated manufacturers of endoscope washers as part of the problem.
As a result, the FDA has forced Custom Ultrasonics to recall 2,800 endoscope washers that have been in use in healthcare facilities across the United States. Prior concerns about the effectiveness of these devices in 2012 caused the company to stop manufacturing new washers, but they continued servicing washers that were already in the market.
Ongoing concerns
According to the FDA, there have been ongoing concerns about Custom Ultrasonic's ability to thoroughly disinfect endoscopes with their units. The recall applies to all of the System 83 Plus, Plus 2 and Plus 9 devices that are currently in use.
These automated endoscope reprocessors (AERs) are used by healthcare facilities to reprocess flexible endoscopes in between patient procedures. Custom Ultrasonics is required to prove that their devices are working as advertised and, thus far, they have been unable to provide the required test data to justify their claims. In addition, an inspection of their facilities turned up numerous recurring violations by the FDA which the company failed to address in a timely manner.
Alternative cleaning procedures
As these endoscope washers are being recalled and tested for efficacy, healthcare facilities have been asked to use alternative methods for reprocessing their endoscopes. This means that they need to consult the manufacturer's instructions for use (IFU) to ensure compliance within the facility's manual reprocessing practices.
Based upon past reprocessing failures leading to these recent infectious outbreaks, healthcare facilities will need to remain vigilant in ensuring best recommended practices are upheld.
The FDA is also asking that facilities who believe they have had infections caused by insufficient sanitization by Custom Ultrasonic's AERs to file an official report with the company to alert them of the issue.
Many people agree that the FDA failed to proactively prevent these infections from happening by allowing Custom Ultrasonics to continue servicing devices for several years before forcing the recall. In addition, very little information about the case was publicly released to the healthcare sites that were affected. This lack of action left care providers without enough information to make informed decisions about their scope cleaning and maintenance procedures that may have potentially prevented infections from spreading.
Going forward, Custom Ultrasonics plans to continue gathering test data and will present their case to the FDA in 2016 to prove that their devices meet minimum sterilization standards to remain in use.
PREZIO Health

Role of stakeholder in financing of free primary education in Nandi South District, Kenya
Khamede, Zipporah
MetadataShow full item record
Free Primary Education Programme (FPE) is the brainchild of the United Nations millennium development goals, one which revolves around education for all. FPE Underscores the need to enhance access to education for all, but in many instances it falls short of specifically responding to barriers and challenges. For instance, the high cost of implementing FPE has made the progress towards this goal calling for the involvement of stakeholders in the financing of this programme. This study was therefore designed to examine the role of stakeholders in the financing of FPE programme in Kenyan public primary schools in Nandi South District, Kenya. The objectives of the study were to Identify the types of FPE projects stakeholders finance, establish the criteria for stakeholder financing of FPE programme, determine the challenges associated with stakeholder financing of FPE and determine strategies for effective stakeholder involvement in fmancing of FPE. The study targeted public primary schools, SMC members, teachers, parents, Non-Governmental Organizations, Churches and fmancial institutions in Nandi South District of Kenya. A sample of 134 respondents was drawn from over 123 primary schools in the District. The study adopted ex post facto research design where data was collected using questionnaires. Piloting of research instruments was done in two primary schools, namely Kobujoi and Chebara by distributing 10 questionriaires to these schools to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent data. The study found out that stakeholders were keen to provide physical, material and fmancial support to schools even though they tend to withdraw from this as years progress. The study therefore recommends that, the gpvernment should formulate policies.that will govern financing of FPE programme. A board of trustees which will regulate and supervise stakeholders contribution to the fund aimed at supplementing the government efforts should be put in place. It is therefore hoped the findings of this study will assist the government in formulating FPE policies that would benefit all' the stakeholders by enhancing team work and sustainability of FPE.
