STEAM Education
What is S.T.E.A.M Education?
STEAM Stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths. Its a curriculum that brings reality into the classroom, and connects the different subjects together in the way that they would relate to the business world and each other.
It encourages students to think, innovate and create and equip them with 21st century skills that our students need.
Last year the Australian Government had committed an extra $12 million to restore the focus, and increase student uptake of, Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics in primary and secondary schools across the country.
This year, as part of the 2017 Budget, the Australian government has announced that it will provide AU$24 million to establish a Rural and Regional Enterprise Scholarships program targeting the STEAM fields of study.
Restoring the focus on STEAM subjects is about ensuring Australia's young adults are equipped with the necessary skills for the economy of the future.
Encouraging students to study STEAM subjects and showing them some of the great careers built on science, engineering, maths and technology will also help secure the nation's future. Starting this interest at the school level will help increase the number of students taking up STEAM subjects in higher education and in their careers and help keep Australia competitive internationally in these important fields.

This blog focuses on a small niche in the language services market, namely the adaptation between French and English (and to some extent other language pairs) of technical journalism for clients who seek to influence a clearly definied readership. Typical projects include website localisation, press releases and technical articles designed to shape opinions rather than simply inform. My blog is also a repository for occasional items of interest to translators and linguists in general.

Hi, everyone
Does anyone like drawing or art on here? As I feel I don't have anyone to talk about it with.
Zatanna said:Does anyone like drawing or art on here?
I like to draw but am not good at it and get frustrated when it all looks wrong.
i prefer technical drawing, rigid structure and orderly lines,
I enjoy seeing pencil sketches especially those that express with little or few lines,
so DC my friend, what do you enjoy ?
...Crickey. Believe it or not, I only see this Post now (from LoneWarrior), three days later, inviting me to Post something... so here is a something.
This is a very basic drawing tip, complicated yet simple. It was invented <>by Disney, perfected by the Japanese, and then at times forgotten by both of late...
Draw two circles.
Then quarter each circle (either by drawing a cross or by imagining it).
Upon the first, draw eyes and a mouth, like a normal "Smiley" Icon.
Upon the second, draw eyes, and a mouth - BELOW the cross (i.e. on the bottom half of the circle).
...The difference should be seen: The first is just a Face, yet the second is a Juvenile (child). This is a key technique, often forgotten, to drawing Cute, Chan, Children, Appealing, etc. It has nothing to do with "making eyes bigger" or "body size" or such like...
It may seem obvious, yet a lot of "professionals" do not know of it, and once you know it, you can see where it is done correctly and not (in Cartoons or Media).
End of Post.
That sounds fun, I'll try that DC, thank you. I think I'll get my new little table next week, which I will be using for drawing.

As Red Storm Gets KO'ed, Huskies Live Another Day
No one really expected St. John's to make the NCAA tournament—Jeremy Lin has used up Madison Square Garden's hidden cache of miracles—but the Red Storm could have still given fans some hope with a run through the Big East Tournament this week. As it turns out, New Yorkers playing hooky from the office will need to adopt another cause, as Pittsburgh eliminated St. John's with a 73-59 win Tuesday, abruptly ending the Red Storm's season at 13-19.
Those clamoring for a (somewhat) local underdog story might look no further than defending national champion Connecticut. Last year, the Huskies used this very tournament to snap off a streak of 11 straight postseason wins that culminated in them cutting down the nets at the Final Four. This year? They're still on the bubble.
But the Huskies bolstered their résumé with their 12th consecutive postseason win Tuesday over DePaul and would all but clinch a spot in the field of 68 by beating West Virginia on Wednesday. "This is a whole new year," said Jeremy Lamb, UConn's leading scorer. "We didn't go into it, like, 'Oh, here we go again.'"

Posted: 2001-01-22
Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of the Grand Council of the Crees I welcome you to Eeyou Istchee. This afternoon, at the dedication and opening of the hemodialysis unit, I spoke of the significance of the need for dialysis in the context of the changes that Cree society has encountered. Tonight, with a little bit more time, I want to explain the connection between the need for these medical procedures and the sudden changes in the Cree way of life.
Today's establishment of a hemodialysis unit at the Chibougamou hospital is important in its own right. It means that the people who live in this region of Quebec -- Crees, other First Nations People, and the non-native population -- will now have access for the first time to hemodialysis services that can be performed in and near their own communities. It means that these individuals will no longer need to travel to Val d'Or or live in Montreal to obtain dialysis. They will no long need to leave their own communities and families to obtain this vital lifesaving procedure.
For ten years, our people have had to leave their homes and families, and move to Montreal -- actually take up permanent residence there -- in order to obtain dialysis treatment. Dialysis is ordinarily performed three times a week, requiring about three to five hours for a session. These Crees lives were arranged to have access to this treatment, and it meant that they had to forsake their communities in order to survive -- all because the treatment was not available in our region.
Of course I am pleased that today we have a centre that can perform this vital treatment. But why should we have had to struggle to obtain this service in our region when we are in the midst of a diabetes epidemic and have such an urgent need to treat so many people? It simply does not make sense. Dialysis is not a luxury; it is an only means of survival.
Today, because of the work of the Cree Youth Council and the Cree Board of Health and Social Services and all of those individuals and organizations that supported and contributed to the walk across Eeyou Istchee, and all of those Crees who dedicated their time and their lives to raise funding for the new dialysis machine, the dialysis centre has been established. Because of their effort to walk across Eeyou Istchee to publicize the need for a dialysis unit in this region; and because of their persistence and hope and courage in crossing our land to seek donations to fund this project, they have been able to raise $344,000 to make the establishment of this unit possible.
While we welcome the establishment of this hemodialysis unit, it is important for people to understand the real cost to the Cree Nation that this unit represents.
Back in 1975, when the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement was signed, there were only three (3) Crees diagnosed with diabetes in all of the Cree Nation of Eeyou Istchee. The La Grande Hydro-electric project had not yet been completed, and the Cree People were still living as we always had, living on the land for our sustenance. Eeyou Istchee gave us the best food in the world, and because of this, diabetes was a rare disease among the Crees. We had no need for hemodialysis machines. Diabetes was practically unheard of.
To some people this may sound like superstition or some kind of mystical connection between disease and the land. But I assure you it is not. There is a verifiable scientific relationship between our normal, healthy Cree diet, and our susceptibility to diabetes.
We Crees have survived for thousands of years in Eeyou Istchee. During that time we have encountered climate change, changes in animal populations, and starvation. But we survived because the Crees adapted to this life over thousands of years, both genetically, and spiritually. We know how to survive on the land, and our bodies are healthy when we eat our own food.
Then Hydro-Quebec came to Eeyou Istchee and built the dams. Suddenly, our lives were changed -- age old patterns of life and survival were disrupted. Wildlife was no longer so plentiful, the animals retreated from the roads, highways, and hydro-camps. The patterns of the rivers were disrupted, and wetlands were destroyed. Trusted and dependable food sources were wiped out or diminished. The animal's habitats were destroyed.
But this was not all. We learned that our lakes had become poisoned with methyl mercury, which leeches out of the ground and vegetation when land is unnaturally flooded by dams and dykes. Hydro-Quebec had not predicted this poisoning of the water. The mercury in the ground, which is normally insoluble, converts to a soluble organic form which is absorbed by fish and other wildlife. When this mercury enters the human body, it causes well documented neurological damage.
The fish that we had always relied upon as a major food source could no longer be safely eaten. We had to tell our people not to eat the fish.
With the financial assistance of Hydro-Quebec, we engaged in an information programme of forced dietary change. We had to tell our people "Stop eating the fish". That was the message, and our people turned to store bought food, and fast food, and a diet that our systems could not tolerate. And that was the beginning of the diabetes epidemic.
Hydro-Quebec spent millions of dollars on a mercury programme. We had to stop eating a basic part of our normal healthy diet. Fish, we always said was one of the first foods a Cree child ate, and it was one of the last foods that our elders ate late in their lives when nothing else could be eaten. Yet, we could no longer eat it.
But look at the devastating effect it has had. Now, instead of three cases of diabetes in Eeyou Istchee, we have over 800 diagnosed cases of diabetes, and the number is climbing.
Today, we have one machine. In just a few more years, if this is situation is not corrected, we will need ten machines. We spent millions of dollars trying to correct the mercury poisoning of our waters. Now, only a tiny fraction of that amount is being spent to fight the terrible mortality of this disease brought about through the sudden elimination of our people's means of subsistence on the land.
Real changes have been forced upon the Cree way of life through hydro-electric development and forestry operations. Perhaps the opening of this hemodialysis centre will help people to understand that when we Crees speak of our attachment to the land we are not being poetic. Our attachment is real, and it has real physical effects. Those effects have come back to us with a real and terrible cost to our people. Today's dedication of this centre, has been paid for by our people with our lives as well as with the funds that we have raised. We hope that the machine is a temporary solution.
Diabetes has come to the Cree Nation suddenly and profoundly. It is sweeping through our communities affecting both the old and the young. We must return to our natural diet, or die of this disease.
Dialysis as you know is not a cure, it is a stop-gap. It prolongs life; but anyone on a dialysis machine can not expect to live long.
I want to thank Hydro-Quebec for its $10,000 contribution to this centre. I want to thank everyone who made a contribution or who encouraged others to contribute. In particular, I want to thank the Minister of Health, the Honourable Pauline Marois, for her cooperation and the support of her Department in making this centre a reality. Her understanding is the issues we confront here has been very important in the realization of this important project. Her willingness to address other issues concerning Cree health will soon make it possible for the Cree Board of Health and Social Services to place greater emphasis on preventive health. This, obviously, is where we have to go.
Congratulations to Youth Grand Chief Ashley Iserhoff for his very successful fundraising efforts. He has done an imaginative and fantastic job, achieving an enormous outpouring of support from the Cree youth, from the elders and from the trappers. Great leadership Ashley.
I want to congratulate Mr. Bertie Wapachee, Chairman of the Cree Board of Health and Social Services, and Mr. James Bobbish the Director General of the Cree Board of Health and Social Services. These individuals have worked hard to bring this project into existence. They have also been working to improve the level and scope of services that the Cree Board of Health and Social Services can provide.
I also want to extend the appreciation of the Cree Nation to Mr. Jules Pelletier, Director General de la Sante de la Baie James for his work on Cree health, and to Mr. Michel Letourneau our MNA for his work on our behalf. Thank you everyone.

As Friday's vote for expanded trade authorities by the president nears, the White House took an aggressive stance toward members of Congress who signaled opposition to Obama's plan.
"What the president has said is that members of Congress should be more concerned about the jobs of Americans than their own jobs," spokesman Josh Earnest replied, asserting that passing trade authorities would "help" middle class families.
House Speaker John Boehner included trade adjustment assistance for workers who lose their jobs via free trade agreements as part of the trade vote package, but would pay for it with Medicare savings.
But Earnest warned members of Congress that if they opposed the deal during the week, they would have to say good-bye to worker assistance as it will expire at the end of the year.
"If you are a member of congress, and you vote against trade adjustment this week you are adding your name to the death certificate of trade adjustment assistance because it will go away," Earnest said.
Earnest referred to the "reasonableness, frankly, of Speaker Boehner in this instance" to address many Democratic concerns with the bill – giving both Democrats and Republicans a reason to vote for the legislation.
"There a lot of reasons for Democrats and Republicans to support trade adjustment assistance when it's on the floor at the end of the week," he insisted.

3 more years and we will KNOW so much more about Jupiter.
Jupiter is the victim of its own success. Sophisticated new calculations indicate that our solar system's largest planet, which weighs more than twice as much as all of the others put together, has destroyed part of its central core. Ironically, the culprit is the very hydrogen and helium that made Jupiter a gas giant, when the core's gravity attracted these elements as the planet formed. The finding suggests that the most massive extrasolar planets have no cores at all.
or maybe even the new data might tell us there is a whole new scientific model to consider.
Originally posted by Phage
The way the article reads it is as if they think the core of Jupiter may be dissolving??
A simulation shows that the core is constantly mixing with outer layers of the planet in a give and take situation. If it is happening it's been happening for a very long time.edit on 3/22/2012 by Phage because: (no reason given)
Conventional planetary formation theory has modeled Jupiter as a set of neat layers with a gassy outer envelope surrounding a rocky core consisting of heavier elements. But increasing evidence has indicated that the insides of gas giants like Jupiter are a messy mixture of elements without strictly defined borders. This new research on a melting Jovian core bolsters a mixing model of gas giant planets and would provide another avenue for heavier elements to flow throughout the planet. "People have been working on the assumption that these planets are layered because it's easier to work on this assumption," said Hugh Wilson, a planetary scientist at the University of California Berkeley and a coauthor of the new research appearing in Physical Review Letters.

"Free gift with purchase" is a phrase heard often in other sectors of the economy. But "free" has a much more complicated set of associations in healthcare delivery.
Certainly there is care of particular patients that gets rendered for free. But the idea of giving something – an item or service – to incentivize either the receiving or referral of healthcare products or services is bound around by a series of regulatory considerations.
What's a "Gift" ?
According to the Oxford English Dictionary a gift is ""the transference of property in a thing by one person to another, voluntarily and without valuable consideration." In healthcare gifts are also referred to as "remuneration" and "non-monetary compensation".
What's available?
At least in the past, just about everything. Here's a list from one University healthcare center's policy on gifts from vendors:
…pens, pads, and other promotional items, cash, food and drink, entertainment such as tickets to events, golf, and other sports outings, medical or research equipment, devices, or other products or services or discounts, use of company vehicles or vacation facilities, hotels, transportation, and other travel expenses, stocks, equity, and other such financial offerings, group gifts, text books, biological samples, software, computer hardware and accessories, electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, music and video players, PDAs, consulting, financial, and other services, and office and research supplies…
What are the limits?
#1 - No "remuneration" to beneficiaries of federal healthcare programs
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (original HIPAA) added a provision to the Social Security Act that authorizes the imposition of a civil monetary penalty (CMP) of up to $10,000 on anyone that "offers or transfers remuneration" to beneficiaries " that such person knows or should know is likely to influence such individual to order or receive" services". What's "remuneration"? "Transfers of items or services for free or for other than fair market value"
The enforcement agency for this provision is the Department of Health and Humans Services Office of the Inspector General (OIG). In 2002 that Office issued a Special Advisory Bulletin to provide "bright line" guidance about what it did and did not consider "remuneration" worthy of enforcement action. According to that document the following may be offered or transferred:
Inexpensive gifts worth not more than $10 (and not totaling more than $50 in a year)
Free care based on financial need
Incentives related to preventative care
Hospital waivers of Outpatient Department copayments
Independent patient assistance programs (e.g. American Kidney Fund)
That same OIG has also been tasked with issuing advisory opinions about the application of this prohibition - as well as the criminal Antikickback Act – to various scenarios posed by those requesting the opinions. More than 20 opinions about free items and payment waivers are available on the Office's website.
Hospitals are also adopting voluntary restrictions on the distribution of "gift bags" from formula manufacturers to new moms. The American Health Lawyers Association's Public interest Committee has published a White Paper on Beneficiary Inducements (2013) describing some of the risks and potential benefits in this area.
# 2 - No "compensation" for referral sources or their family members – unless an exception applies
The Stark law is discussed on another wiki page. What's relevant here are three exceptions which can be used to protect gestures of generosity between those billing federal healthcare programs and their physician referral sources and the physician's families:
- Non-monetary compensation (42 C.F.R. § 411.357(k))
– plus one "Medical Staff appreciation event"-
- Incidental Medical Staff Benefits (42 C.F.R. § 411.357(m))
- Compliance training! (42 C.F.R.§ 411.357(o))
#3 – Check for a Gift Ban
Several states have put in place bans on gifts to various folks in healthcare.
Minnesota was the first, in 1993, to ban gifts from drug manufacturers and distributors to "practitioners" – a broad term that includes licensed doctors, podiatrists, veterinarians and their assistants;
The Massachusetts ban is part of a drug and medical device manufacturer code of conduct in their interactions with "health care practitioners".
Vermont's ban covers gifts to "health care providers" – including institutional ones. That state's Attorney General publishes a "guide" to how the law applies.
Medical schools have also started implementing bans on their campuses - and early research shows a change in physician prescribing habits among those subject to the most stringent policies.

New Social Networking Sites List
As of now I am trying to come up with a good list of Social Networking websites, it may be a little lonely at the moment though… Don't fret because before the end of the week I will be able to present you people with a great list of these sites here, so don't forget to keep coming back and see my progress.
So what exactly is social networking or a social network for that matter? According to Wikipedia: A social network is a social structure made of nodes which are generally individuals or organizations. It indicates the ways in which they are connected through various social familiarities ranging from casual acquaintance to close familial bonds. The term was first coined in 1954 by J. A. Barnes (in: Class and Committees in a Norwegian Island Parish, "Human Relations"). The maximum size of social networks tends to be around 150 people and the average size around 124 (Hill and Dunbar, 2002).
So there you have it people, I am now faced with an incredible dilemma of having to choose from hundreds or maybe millions of sites that may fit the description above. If there are any kindhearted souls out there who can help me with this problem, I will be forever indebted to you…
Sample Profiles
If you haven't been to wikology lately or still did not have the time to check it out, the profile page has been updated and you can now put a logo of your company and even add an image to your profile. Everything has been fixed so that if you don't have any entry for a particular field it will not show in your profile unlike before. You also have the option to list your company under different categories just remember to use the semicolon (;) sign after each category, this also goes for companies, executives, partners etc.
Here's a sample of a company and person profile…
Wikology's Web 2.0 List
Hi there peeps! If you are one of those people who just can't get enough of these Web 2.0 stuff maybe you can take a look at Wikology's Web 2.0 List. It has about 300+ and growing list of Web 2.0 companies… You can take a peep here… If you see some sites missing, feel free to add it to the list.
What the heck is Wikology?
To those who just doesn't have a clue… Wikology is a wiki-based business and website directory. By wiki, we mean everyone can edit any page. This website was founded by John Bresee. If you want to know why he founded Wikology, read on…
The basis of this business idea comes about as a response to the inherent problems in Yahoo, DMOZ.org, and Wikipedia.org. Yahoo was founded on the notion that people sending in their web address can lead to an interesting collection of sites. Eventually Yahoo couldn't keep up with the influx of sites and eventually began hiding the link that lead to their submit form. The number of submitted sites was so great that they could not write enough descriptions of the sites to keep up.
This lead to the creation of DMOZ.org, or the Open Directory Project. The founders of the open directory project were fed up with the great power that Yahoo held. So they created a project which was comprised of volunteer editors. Sadly, power corrupts and the DMOZ project became corrupted. It was impossible to determine who was a volunteer editor, how you become one, etc. The directory is filled with crappy dead links etc.
Wikipedia came along, shooting to be the be all end all directory of human knowledge. The wiki model is very powerful because anyone can edit any page. However they are a bit snooty and don't want anything as crass as a for profit business listed in their precious directory, unless it is related to George Lucas or Slashdot.
So that led me to believe that a wiki based editing system on top of a directory structure might be a good thing. Basically recreating Yahoo and DMOZ the way they should have been originally…using user based content and editing. No crazed hierarchy, a truly open directory, at least as far as content goes.
The revenue model is a simple one of running google ads and leasing the content out to people who are tired of DMOZ.

"Their added risks and frequent moves call for careful attention to matters including estate planning and real-estate ownership." Our military families risk so much and are often ill-prepared for circumstances. At Sundvick Legacy Center we are committed to helping them understand what options are available to them and to assist them.
Many military families—particularly young families—need financial and estate planning advice. With the risks of going into a wartime situation or the potential for a training accident, service members have a greater than average chance of disability or premature death.
The Wall Street Journal article, "How to Serve Military Families," says that in many instances military spouses are young and financially immature. Military families don't settle in one place for very long, so a nonmilitary spouse may have trouble finding a steady job that would provide a second income and a retirement plan. In that situation, if something happens to the service member, and benefits are paid out, they need to be able to access them immediately. It's more likely that young military families will need help getting these estate documents in order and updating their beneficiary designations.
Financial and estate plans can't be static; they need to reflect a family's current life situation. For example, beneficiary designations on retirement plans need to be reviewed and updated, and many soldiers and sailors name a boot camp buddy as the beneficiary of their Servicemembers Group Life Insurance (SGLI) policy after they enlist. This needs to be changed when they've married and/or have children.
Retirement and insurance plans pay named beneficiaries, separate from the Will. A service member's Will may provide that his or her child can't access the assets left in trust until he or she reaches age 25. However, if the child is a named beneficiary of an SGLI policy, the proceeds will be paid directly to the child if he or she is 18 or has attained the state's age of majority; or they will be paid—regardless of age—to a legal guardian who may not be the person the service member would have chosen to manage these funds for his or her child. Another way to go is to have a trust for the child be the insurance beneficiary.
Real estate is another area of concern for military families who move frequently and may own property in multiple states. If the service member is killed, the property may end up in probate without the proper instructions. One might even think about starting a limited liability company for the property and speaking with an experienced estate planning attorney about setting up a living trust to hold real estate assets during his or her lifetime that also names a beneficiary in the event of his or her death.

Written by a leading neuroscientist, mind scientists from around the world have consistently acclaimed this work as one of the best books on hypnosis ever written for the non-professional. It is the result of decades of research with literally thousands of people who volunteered for experiments, helped with logistics and data collection and analysis, and participated in numerous other ways.
A clinician, researcher and college teacher, Henderson has pioneered an approach to personal improvement dynamics that works where other methods fail.
Especially noteworthy is Henderson's unique work, based on his extensive research, in the area of autoquestioning. This is part of the secret to why his method is so effective for people of all ages and walks of life.
Autoquestioning is a necessary step for mental alignment because success at anything—losing weight, quitting smoking, memory improvement, controlling things like shyness or fear, in fact anything that depends on a person's own efforts—always requires subconscious agreement with the conscious goal.
Suggestions formulated in agreement with personal knowledge from autoquestioning produce dramatic, speedy results that often could not be achieved by any other means.
The subconscious is the most powerful part of the mind. Trying to force significant achievement or change through uninformed suggestions, affirmations, or willpower ultimately results in failure most of the time. This method takes the guesswork out of change and achievement and puts your efforts on a sound, logical, scientific footing.

NOAA CoastWatch produces near real-time true color satellite images
for U.S. coastal regions
from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)
on-board the polar-orbiting Suomi-NPP satellite.
True color satellite images are like a camera photo.
The instrument's visible measurements at the red, green, and blue
wavelengths are combined to create a color-realistic image, just
like a digital photograph.
Land and water features can be seen in these images. Because cloud
coverage is very obvious, these images can be used to quickly determine
if a particular day's image is useful for observing a land or water feature.
NOAA/NESDIS processes the Sensor Data Record (SDR) calibrated
radiances for all wavelengths, and CoastWatch then generates data files
with the red, green and blue radiance measurements extracted for generating
true color images. Currently, CoastWatch true color data and image
files are available for the VIIRS instrument's 750 m
spatial resolution wavelength bands. The radiances are top-of-atmosphere
measurements and are not corrected for atmospheric effects,
such as a Rayleigh correction. In the future, CoastWatch anticipates
offering true color data and images at the much higher spatial resolution
of 375 m with Rayleigh atmospheric correction for U.S. coastal regions.
Apparent Stripes:
Because VIIRS pixels are aggregated toward the edge of the scan
(to preserve pixel resolution as the instrument views along its scan line),
gaps result when the aggregated pixel data are projected
to a geographic grid. These gaps appear in a stripe-like formation
and indicate the instrument's edge of scan. See example at the right:
stripes on the image's right side.
Compositing Effects:
Several successive satellite orbits may pass over a given area.
When daily composites are created, data from neighboring orbits may
be included in a single image. If clouds have moved in the time between
orbits, discontinuities may appear in the composited image. In addition,
the different orbits will be viewing the area from different angles,
resulting in composites that have a mixture of geometries and
atmospheric effects. See example at the right.
The NOAA CoastWatch East Coast Node is hosted by the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office.
NOAA is an agency within the Department of Commerce (DOC).

The main reason the snooze button has been on the TAS is the massive construction around and below it, all part of a major renovation. The entrance to the underground museum and the funicular to the top used to be from the base of the legs. As the work nears completion, you can see how the new entrance has been turned toward the city under the center of the monument.
It's not ready yet, but there should be more new views as the weeks pass.

Teresa Palmer has settled back in the US after her much-publicised Australian holiday – and now has plans to buy a luxury pad in LA.
The Adelaide starlet is on the verge of stardom in the US. She is set to start filming a lead role in Disney epic The Sorceror's Apprentice, opposite Nicolas Cage, in New York next month.
Teresa said this week she was amazed she'd been picked by super producer Jerry Bruckheimer. "I can't believe it happened to me and I'm very flattered that he wanted me," she said.
"It's been a bit of a whirlwind the last couple of years – but I just feel like the same old Adelaide girl. I always used to have five-year plans and all those sorts of things, but I feel like my life is so unpredictable . . ."
Teresa's current plans include house-hunting, with the blonde beauty hoping to buy a luxury home in the celebrity enclaves of West Hollywood or the Hollywood Hills with her generous Sorceror's Apprentice pay cheque.
"I really miss my dogs (in Adelaide) and I want to bring them over (to the US), but I feel bad that they have to endure that terrible flight," she said.
Teresa revealed she is also looking beyond life in front of the camera to direct her first project in Adelaide after creating a production company with fellow LA-based Australian actresses Tahyna Tozzi and Nathalie Kelley.
"We're working on our first movie at the moment and we're in the pre-production stages," she said. "I'm going to be co-directing it with Gracie Otto (sister of actress Miranda Otto). "We're going to come back to Adelaide and film it there, hopefully next year."

Tips For Bead Sellers: If You Buy Discount Wholesale Beads You Can Increase Your Profit Margin!
If you own an independent jewelry making supplies shop, it is important that you understand the business sense involved with the oft heard mantra "buy low, sell high". Although this mantra usually applies to stock market trading, the logic carries over to all types of businesses. If you buy something for a low price, and you sell it on for a high price, then you will have a much better profit margin than if you bought high priced items in the first place. If you are looking to improve your profit margins, then you will need to learn about discount wholesale beads, in order to get the best possible deals on the stock which you buy!
1. Do not be afraid to sell things on which you bought at a discount, but make sure the products are good. As a respectable business owner, you will understand that it is important that your customers are happy with your stock. It is therefore important that the beads which you buy are the type of beads which you would be happy to sell. There is no point in buying broken or damaged beads, because the people will not be keen to buy them on from you at a high price. If you sell poor quality stock at a high price you will receive lots of complaints, and it is unlikely that many people will become repeat customers. Remember, if the beads you sell are good quality, people will be willing to pay a high price for them, but if you are selling low quality products, your customers will not be willing to fork out big bucks. Luckily, if you buy beads from a good wholesale supplier, "discount wholesale beads" does not have to mean beads which are broken or damaged. "Discount wholesale beads" are often sold at a reduction because you are able to buy a large number of products at once. Many of the discount wholesale beads which are available from internet retailers are actually stunningly high quality.
2. Let your supplier know you are a trader. To take advantage of discount wholesale beads, you do not even have to be a business owner; however some companies which sell to small business owners may be able to cut you an even better deal if they know that they are selling to a fellow trader. This is because they will want to get your repeat custom. In the same way that you want to encourage your customers to return to your shop, these traders will want your repeat business. If they know that you are a trader, and your first order is a large one, they may be able to offer you even more discount wholesale beads to sweeten the deal, in the hope that you will visit them again, next time you want to stock up.

NEWS - new video with some Koukou variations to try. Call me after watching to get some tuition:
The concept behind thedrumcoach is to make funky West African rhythms available to adults and teens in a friendly and fun learning environment. It's a not-for-profit enterprise so contributions go to various good causes and charities in West Africa, mainly in The Gambia.
thedrumcoach makes frequent donations to The Amadu Bansang Jobarteh School Of Music in The Gambia: http://abjschool.org/ where they run a school to teach kids the arts of balafon, dance, drumming, etc. Help these kids have a better life - 'building bright futures on ancient foundations'.

You"ll do a double take when you look at Carol Milne"s sculptures. First, you"ll think her piecse are bits of knitting that have been dropped, the needle still looped through the yarn. Then you might wonder, how are they standing up like that? Then you"ll realize that the needles aren"t entangled in yarn, but in glass. And that"s when you start to really wonder.
How did she do it?
Considering that glass has a melting point of about 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, it would seem unlikely that Milne actually knits molten glass. And don"t worry–she doesn"t. As impressive as that would be, the actual process is pretty impressive itself. In 2006, Milne, who is based in Seattle, developed a multi-step process involving making a mold, casting the sculpture, and, yes, knitting.
First, Milne makes a wax model of the sculpture, based on a knitted piece, with each knit and purl included. The wax model is encased in mold-making material and heated, causing the wax inside to melt out. The result is a hollow mold that retains the shape of the mold. This is a process known as the "lost wax" technique, and it has been used since ancient times all over the world. Then, glass is melted into the mold, and then cooled very slowly to avoid cracking. Finally, when the glass is cool, the mold is chipped away, revealing the sculpture underneath.
The results are what appear to be strands of colored glass woven delicately together. Some appear to just be small, formless pieces of knit yarn. These suggest the very beginnings of a project or a beginner"s practice piece. Others take the form of vessels, flowers and even booties. Some even have glass hands emerging right from the yarn as though the sculpture is making itself.
As for the needles she uses, some are actual knitting needles that are inserted into the sculpture"s loops after it"s freed from the mold. However, others are cast right into the mold and are made of the same glass.
These pieces are a beautiful study of texture, form and color. Not only that, but they make the viewer reconsider how materials and the creative process work together. It challenges our expectations.
There"s also a deeper meaning she puts into her work: "I see my knitted work as metaphor for social structure. Individual strands are weak and brittle on their own, but deceptively strong when bound together. You can crack or break single threads without the whole structure falling apart. And even when the structure is broken, pieces remain bound together. The connections are what bring strength and integrity to the whole and what keeps it intact."
Milne does way more than the knitted sculptures, too, and the rest of her work can be found on her site and Facebook page, as well as on her Glass Art Society page.

I drove about 360 miles yesterday, mostly on I-10 and I-20, from Fredericksburg to Fort Stockton and then to Midland, and the overriding thought that sticks with me is..."wow, what a noisy drive!"
Interstate 10 is a patchwork of road surfaces, and the newest ones are also the loudest. The material used to surface the road is so coarse that the noise from the friction with the tires is just overwhelming, especially when compared to the smooth asphalt sections that come before and after. And it makes me wonder if TxDOT or anyone else has ever studies the long term effects of such high noise levels on drivers?
I'm sure it depends to some extent on what kind of car you drive. I would expect - hope? - that a Mercedes sedan would be quieter than my pickup. I'm sure that the type of tires also affects how much noise is generated.
Regardless, after several hours of driving on rough and noisy surfaces, I felt more tired and even stressed than had I been driving on the smooth asphalt of days gone by. If all drivers are affected similarly, that must impact driver alertness and mood, and not in a positive fashion.
I realize that the new surface materials are less expensive and are said to be longer lasting, but it's one more example of how "progress" adversely affects quality of life. But I suppose that's what the volume knob on the satellite radio is for.

If you're like most customers, you purchased your mattress so long back that what you realized about mattresses back then no longer applies to the models on the market nowadays. For example, have you know the most recent mattresses don't need to be switched?
You may be hesitant to create the purchase inside a high-qualitymattress, or to spend enough time examining the options. But simply consider your purchase on the mattress distributed more than fifteen years, and think about that you just do spend one-3rd of your daily life in mattress. Isn't it really worth investing enough time and money to ensure your adjustable sleep surfaceis best for you?
Right here, some fundamental ideas to create the most of your purchase and help you to relax together with your decision.
Try out, Repeat the Process
The only real way to find the correct mattress for you personally is to try out them for yourself. Consider information on those that you like and those you don't like, focusing on aspects like firmness or whether they have cushion shirts. In the event you find out you like mattresses with cushion shirts (also known as summit shirts or softest shirts), that instantly narrows lower your choice to one-3rd of the mattresses on the market. Similarly, when the mattresses within your "no" line are firm, then firm isn't the best choice for you personally. It sounds easy enough, however it can be difficult for customers to look beyond the clever marketing of mattresses to concentrate on the typical denominator within the mattresses that charm to them.
How Smooth?
The level of gentleness you select really depends upon your resting style. In the event you sleep working for you, you'll want a much softer mattress so your shoulder joint and stylish kitchen sink in easily and your backbone is inside a directly position. Firmermattresses are more appropriate for people who strike the hay face-lower or on their own backside.
In the event you and your lover choose different levels of gentleness, you can manage with the addition of an extra coating of foam to one side of the one who favors a much softer mattress or attempting one of the new atmosphere mattresses, which gives each individual control more than their space.
Furniture Issues
Whilst you're choosing a mattress, also think about whether you should purchase a new mattress framework. Today's packed mattresses can be up to 18 in heavy, so consider regardless of whether your current mattress framework will ensure it is essential to go up a step ladder just to get into mattress.
Reduced-user profile frames and foundations are an option because they create deciding on to heavy mattresses much simpler. Making use of this kind of framework, your mattress will be about 7 in smaller, that makes a substantial distinction. A nice benefit: Apart from including to your convenience level, decreasing your mattress to a reduced height will also help make your room look larger.
Bunk mattresses are a classic pattern, and now they're particularly favored by a desk quite than a second mattress under the best bunk. Stay in mind before you purchase this kind of mattress should have a mattress seven in heavy or less.

On Thursday, May 24, 2012 about 250 community members joined together for a Groundbreaking Ceremony at Railroad Square for the Monadnock Food Co-op (formally known as Monadnock Community Market) – the future home of our locally-focused, community-owned grocery store in the heart of downtown Keene.
Joe Marks, the Co-op's Board President addressed the crowd and thanked the vendors who provided treats for community members to sample: Orchard Hill Breadworks, Gemma's Linzers, Merry Meeting Farm and Walpole Creamery (all products we look forward to carrying in the future – plus many, many, many more). Mayor Kendall Lane spoke about how the Monadnock Food Co-op fits into the Keene Comprehensive Master Plan. Others who spoke: Dan Scully from Dan Scully Architects, Jack Dugan from Monadnock Economic Development Corp., Molly Lambert from USDA Rural Development, Bonnie Hudspeth the Co-op original Project Manager and Michael Faber the Co-op's General Manager.
What are our hopes & dreams for our co-op?
- We asked the community to share their hopes & dreams for our local food co-op at the Groundbreaking Ceremony. Their wishes will go into the foundation of the Monadnock Food Co-op, literally.
- Here are just some of the hopes & dreams that were shared by our friends, family & neighbors:
- I hope the co-op teaches our community how interdependent we are to each other – and the land, water and air that sustains us. ~James Duffy
- A welcoming gathering space.
- Let Whole-some become Whole-all: Let the best be available to all, not just some. ~ Ella Rank
- Neighbors & community connected through healthy food – what could be better!
- Fresh wonderful produce/food & a place that can be walked to.
- Local food, local economy, local fun!
Would you like to share your hopes & dreams for our co-op with us? Share your note using this link.
We acknowledge the work of many who have bought the Monadnock Food Co-op this far. Thank you to all who are making our hopes & dreams for the co-op a reality.
