In the last few years, my reading has decreased dramatically. I would like to read more. Especially, I would like to read more physical books - closing the laptop and focusing only on turning pages, petting my cat, and sipping my cup of tea.
I'm starting easy this year, with two YA/fantasy books.
The Keeping Place is the fourth of Isobelle Carmody's Obernewtyn books. Up until now, it's the one I've been stuck on - I've tried reading it a couple of times and bounced off. Over the statutory holiday break this year, I not only put it on my dresser, but got The Stone Key and The Sending out of the library to follow it. Well, those were returned late and unread to the library, but I did at least progress through the series.
The Keeping Place certainly starts slow - it feels like it's at least 200 pages before anything happens. There's a lot of inner monologue, lots of Obernewtyn issues which circle around and are unresolved, and events that simply happen rather than furthering anything else. On the other hand, one of my previous quibbles with the series had been that I could not imagine how a society in which beasts are equal could work - and there are long, in-canon meetings that hash out just these questions, so at least Carmody takes the how of the matter seriously.
Good points: the neatly-planned rebellion succeeds in some ways, and is thwarted in others, in a "no battle plan survives contact with the enemy…" way that felt plausible when I read it. Malik was a convincing and difficult villain. I enjoyed learning a lot more about the Beforetimer Cassy in this book.
Bad points: I really wish Carmody had cut down a lot of minutiae. I also wish there were fewer minor Misfit characters whose names we have to remember. I can believe there are a lot of Misfits, such that naming Zarak and Lina and Gevan and Ceirwan and Lirra and Merret and Blyss and… so on… adds colour, but they didn't all feel necessary (and don't ask me to keep Lina vs. Lirra and Gevan vs. Gavyn straight!) There felt like a lot of unnecessary travel - or the travel was not described in an interesting way. (I am also continually confused about the size of the Land. Can it really be right that you can get from Obernewtyn to Sutrium in, like, two days of steady horse-riding? The map feels too small.) The problem of Dragon was not solved by motive and actions, but by nebulous manipulations of fate.
It's only supposed to get more drawn out from here - as anyone could tell, looking at the physical size of those books. Coming to the end of The Keeping Place, I think I'm still interested enough in Elspeth's saga to keep going - and one of my reasons is to learn more about Rushton and his purposes and place. He's been kind of a cipher, and more so than I was expecting in this book. I'd like to see what he does in The Stone Key.
One thing that makes me a little uncomfortable is the repeated theme throughout Carmody's books of spirit/aura healing that can drive or supplant physical healing. I wonder if she believes this personally, not just in fiction - well, I don't actually want to find out.
I picked Foundation up off the shelf last week, when waiting in the library to meet Joel. It's been ages since I read anything of Valdemar. Nowadays I feel like I can't even read the Yuletide fanfic that's written for that world - the details of characters are too hazy. Foundation is the first of a recent series that stands somewhat alone, so I was hopeful it would be a good reminder of the world.
It starts with some promise. Our hero is a mine slave; the emphasis is less on his emotional trauma and more on his daily strategies for survival, which I found engaging. It is, of course, a Cinderella story, and Mags is soon rescued to be a Herald. (With that trope that I find SO annoying, whereby the rescue-ee is whisked away with no explanation, causing them cheap angst while of course the reader knows there's nothing to worry about.)
Mags is fairly smart, if wary and unsocial, and settles in well. I was unconvinced by the plot. Mags's first two friends are made slowly and carefully - all to the good. Then he meets someone in the market who turns out to be A Most Upright Citizen, and this Upright Citizen Soren takes him into his home and family and treats him like a special snowflake and suddenly he's friends with a whole bunch of kids who Help Their Families With Politics. We have a nice, world-buildy description of their winter festivities, and then we don't need to care about that lot [ever] again.
Then the book culminates in a psychopathic kidnap-suicide attempt on Mags's friend Bear, completely out of left field. Most other plot threads are unresolved. The book is clearly a set-up for the next book.
If I were Mercedes Lackey's editor, and equipped with a golden pen, a silver tongue, and a will of steel, I would have told her to chuck the kidnapping (really!), explain more about the mercenaries, and shove the whole section of plot about falling in with Soren and his friends/family to the next book, so as to ensure she had space to develop out some other plot threads she'd previously introduced.
And I would red-pen the hell out of painfully saccharine exchanges like the following. Mags, having met Upright Citizen Soren, tells him about his woeful miner slavery:
Finally, he sighed. "I wish there was a way that all this could be made up to you, and your fellows, Mags. That man stole so much from you--years of your lives that you will never get back." He shook his head mournfully.
Mags could only shrug. " 'Tis what it is," he replied.
"But I never dreamed there could be something like that going on in Valdemar. It . . . offends me." He paused, and Mags wondered if he should say something. Then Soren nodded his head as if deciding something. "Now that I know that they do . . . Mags, what would be a good way of keeping youngsters from falling into such places?"
Why is he asking me? Mags wondered, feeling stunned. He opened his mouth to ask that very question, but what came out that was not that at all. "Mebbe you c'd do something' with the law," he heard himself saying. "Make it bad t' put kiddies to work or some'thin."
"It would have to be the 'or something,' [sic] Soren mused aloud. "We don't want to penalize farm folk who rely on their children and extra hands. But yes, I see your point, and I think that would be a good start." He straightened up again, and nodded decisively. "Well, my young friend, is there anything more I can do to thank you?"
All that exaggerated nodding and shrugging and shaking of heads and so forth is rather appropriate to this bare authorial puppet. Um, unless it's normal, sensible adult behaviour to ask an abused young person one's just met how one should fix the world, and then get mired in the smaller details of their suggestion.
I was reading this on a visit to Paul and Sam. We were sprawled about in Paul's common room, mostly on bean bags, with books or laptops to hand. When I got to this section, I sputtered about it. "I don't know," Sam said gently. "Would you have taken that exchange at face value when you were, say, fourteen?" I squinted at it and conceded that I might have. Possibly I should choose better targets to be indignant at than Mercedes Lackey. After all, I only really wanted a Cinderella story.

It really does only get more minutia-laden from here. She really needs an editor who will go at the book and cut out whole chapters at a go.
And I'm pretty sure the size of the Land changes from book to book. IIRC, in Obernewtyn it takes a week to get from Sutrium to Obernewtyn, whereas in Ashling they get from Obernewtyn to Sutrium in one long day's ride...

Oh thank you! I'm glad it's not just me. I was reading the descriptions in The Keeping Place that went, "Oh, and it took four hours of riding Gahltha to get to here," and wondering, if that was the case, what was most of the plot in The Farseekers about?
Hm. Well, I got through The Keeping Place by being braced for it; I will brace for The Stone Key.

Yes, some of the geographic details change to suit the story! And I totally agree with you on the editing front. I'm pretty sure I skipped about sixty pages of the trip up the mountains in The Sending and didn't miss a thing, plot-wise. It's so frustrating!
Yeah, there's a ~200 page section that could have been cut down to maybe two or three pages without losing anything. Elspeth is going into the mountains with Maruman without sufficient food or water, but it's okay because she's learning an important lesson about how the world will provide, which it duly does, and also it gets kind of cold in the mountains, and somehow whenever she's about to get stuck because of tainted ground, a way forward opens up.
I look back at her earlier books, particularly Ashling, and I'm just like, What happened?

For me, The Keeping Place marked the point where I fell out of love with the Obernewtyn series. So much of that book was unnecessary - the Moonfair at the beginning was completely pointless and anypoints of significance from the event could easily have been dealt with in a paragraph or two. I'm afraid Isobelle suffers from very lax editors, which is sad, because the first couple of Obernewtyn books were my favourites for a long time. Now, I'm just reading because I want to know how it all ends.
Huzzah for your resolution to read more physical books, though! Nothing beats the feel of a book in your hands.

the Moonfair at the beginning was completely pointless and anypoints of significance from the event could easily have been dealt with in a paragraph or two - This is true. And at this point in her writing, I also find that Isobelle Carmody does not have a handle on any kind of "show, not tell" style of characterisation - we are always trying to picture characters through such descriptors as "Maryon's cold manner" or "Zarak's impetuousness" or what have you.
Indeed! I like books in my hands. I like open books in my hands. I like open books in my hands upon which my gaze is fixed.
I wonder about the lax-editor complaint. It is likely - and yet it always makes me wonder what the draft looked like before any editing. You never know, it could have been five time worse. But I hope not.

Eating out can be expensive, especially for dozens of people who recently dined at the Chop House in Knoxville, Tennessee. They were reportedly charged between $8,000-$99,000 for their meals due to a computer glitch in the system. One customer reported being charged $27,000 for chicken and beer.
While this may seem outrageous, electronic forms of payment, while convenient, can experience electronic glitches when systems are being updated, maintenance is being run, or processors are otherwise malfunctioning. The Tennessee restaurant is not the first to experience a computer glitch and overcharge customers. Del Taco in Santa Paula, California, recently charged 150 customers thousands for tacos and sodas, due to a computer glitch in the system regarding credit cards and ATM purchases.
The problem with overcharges at Chop House also affects debit and credit card payments, as the glitch is in the credit card and debit card processor. The overcharges are restricted to the Chop House at the Knoxville, Tennessee location and Bloomberg has stated that it does not affect all restaurants, so you don't have to worry about that Sam Tabar. The restaurant is currently working to resolve the issue, refund customer's money, and assist with bank overdraft fees for affected consumers.

Some users may find that the application data folder of SpiderOak One or Groups grows to a large size. What you are seeing is its internal database. This is on each of your computers and caches metadata about (but not the contents of) the files in your account for fast browsing, offline browsing, and to aid in deduplication. The more data you have stored in your account, the larger the database will become. You can expect this to occupy up to 1% of the space occupied in your online backup account.
When files are being backed up, the size of the database will temporarily increase by the size of those files. The application turns those files into encrypted data blocks, which occupy temporary space in the database. During the time that you are uploading files, the application will need an amount of disk space equal to the size of those files. Once those blocks are uploaded, the local copies are deleted and the database shrinks again. To accurately measure the size of the database, do so when One or Groups is completely shut down.
Over time any database can develop bloat. Whenever the application notices that significant disk space can be saved by cleaning the database file, it will do so. Although the application does a good job of taking care of this automatically, you can also trigger a manual cleanup at the command line if you wish with the
--vacuum option.
If you have any feedback on this article please let our support team know. Thanks!

Nxf1 encodes a nuclear
export factor. Quantitative regulation of gene expression is complex.
Initiation, elongation, processing, nuclear export, translation,
and turnover of mRNA are generally coupled, but allow several points of
control. We discovered that a wild-derived variant of mouse Nxf1 acts as
a genetic suppressor of mutations caused by integration of an
endogenous retrovirus by increasing the amount and proportion of
correctly processed mRNA from the mutated gene, at the
expense of mutation-specific, abnormal RNAs (Floyd 2003, Concepcion 2009).
This suggests that Nxf1 can influence processing choices for at least
some pre-mRNAs, in addition to its better-known recruitment to export
complexes after processing. Genome editing in mice showed that a single
amino acid substitution in the TAP_C domain is sufficient for this
effect (Concepcion 2015). We are working to understand how Nxf1 variants alters gene expression and potentially remodel its protein interaction network. This work is funded by a grant from the National Institute for General Medical Sciences (NIGMS).
Zfp423 encodes a protein with 30 "zinc finger" domains. This protein interacts with both lineage and signal-dependent transcription factors to repress or activate target genes. Mice that lack Zfp423 have midline defects in brain development, similar in kind to several human disorders (Alcaraz, 2006). The brain abnormalities are most apparent in cerebellum. We showed that variation in the phenotype results from both modifier genes and non-genetic causes (Alcaraz, 2011). Consistent with the mouse phenotype, the human homolog ZNF423 is mutated in patients with Joubert Syndrome related disorders (Chaki, 2012). Patient mutation confer abnormal DNA damage response to transfected cells (Chaki, 2012). Zfp423 has many likely sites of action and is expressed in a dynamic pattern during development. One important site is cerebellar granule cell precursors, where Zfp423 is required for proliferative response to SHH through the primary cilium (Hong, 2016). We are using custom mice to determine which Zfp423 phenotypes are cell autonomous, to model pathogenicity of genetic variants identified in patients, and to test for epistatic interactions between Zfp423 and its transcriptional targets. This work is funded by the National Institute for Neurolgical Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).
Zfp804a encodes a single zinc finger. Genome-wide studies by others identified ZNF804A as one gene associated with human psychiatric illness. While predicted to be a transcription factor, little is known about its functional properties, interaction partners, or effects on brain development. We have created custom mouse strains to allow visualization and purification of native Zfp804a and to test its requirements for normal development and behavior. This project is funded by the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH).
Nmf9 encodes a protein of uncertain function. Mice that lack this gene have defects in vestibular function, fear learning, and precision of circadian behaviors (Zhang 2015). The gene is unusually conserved. The core protein sequence, gove of take a domain, is identifiable in unicellular organisms that are sister groups to animals. Invertebrate species from every major phylum have a single copy except for tunicates, which have none. Jawed vertebrates have two paralogous copies, with the derived version having lost an RA domain that is constant among invertebrates. Mammals have only the derived, deleted copy. Mutations introduced by genome editing in mice, zebrafish, and fruit flies all produce defects in movement and balance, suggesting a level of functional conservation. However, while mice lacking Nmf9 have a comparatively mild phenotype, flies that lack the gene have severe defects and die as pupae or young adults.

SOURCE: paint inside microwave oven, Can it be repainted ?
Yes. You need to clean it, sand it shiny, then clean it squeky again.
Then you can get high temperature appliance paint in spray on brush-on form from local appliance part store or places like Wal-Mart and Lowe's.
I would suggest you let it dry overnight with the door open before using the oven.

SOURCE: change of lamp in LG microwave oven MS-194A
there's no obvious removable cover over the bulb (and the owner's
manual doesn't address it) some disassembly may be required.
Always unplug a microwave before removing or installing any bulbs.
If it's an over the range type, remove the vent grille across the top and see if bulbs can be accessed there. There may be a panel on the bottom covering the light(s), instead.
If not, chances are you'll have to remove it from the wall, then remove the outer cover. If so, the installation instructions are very handy, and it's best to have two people since the microwave can be heavy and awkward.
If you don't have your instructions, please reply back with your brand and model number.
Once it's out of the wall, the outer cover (wrapper) will need to be removed, just as you'll need to do on a counter top model.
On a counter top model, be sure it's unplugged, but otherwise ignore the instructions above this paragraph.
The screws you need to remove should be pretty obvious, but a special driver (such as a T20H Torx type or GTXH20-100) may be needed.
Be sure to put all the screws back in the right holes, since some may be special grounding screws.
Bulbs can be had in most grocery stores, hardware stores, home improvement centers, and big box or department stores.
Many models use halogen lamps. You must not touch the new one with your bare skin, as the oils will shorten the bulb life.
We're happy to help you with free advice and we'd appreciate your thoughtful rating of our answer.

SOURCE: Microwave Does Not Heat.
Test the high voltage capacitor,the rectifier diode.or the magnetron.
If it additionally does not spin and no light, then check also the door switch.
The diode and capacitors can br tested. The capacitor must be alloweddischarge before testing, or you risk to get electrocuted, even ifpower is off. Capacitors can get discharged by shorting their twocontacts.
Replace the magnetron if the checks and all of the high voltage component tests are good, but the unit still does not heat.
All locations, and description of this parts can be located using the diagram here: Counter top.
Parts must be tested to find out what is wrong.
Remember that microwaves are potentially dangerous devices if not repaired properly, the job must be done by a competent person.
A microwave energy leakage test must always be performed when the oven is serviced for any reason.
Regarding parts, contact the seller here to purchase parts. (here in UK).

SOURCE: LG microwave oven rotating but not heating
I have found that the common cause for this problem is either the 'High Voltage Fuse (HV fuse)' or the 'Magnatron Assembly'. In some instances it can easily be both.
My advice is to read throughly how to discharge a 'High Voltage Capacitor (HV capacitor)' to avoid any injury or worse yet, death.
After doing so you can find the HV fuse runing from the HV capacitor, it will be inside a small plastic casing, you will be able to see with the naked eye if it has blown. If so, replace it.
As for the magnatron Assembly, it looks like a large silver cube with a series of magnets inside it, they are not as easy to test to see if they are faulty or not so if the fuse doesnt repair the issue, replace the magnatron assembly as well. I hope this offers some help. Good luck.

text: I have many environmental and medical allergies , so I'm reluctant to try anything new. But about 6 months ago I began to have excruciating pain in my neck and left arm, like an almost constant electrical shock going all the way down to my fingertips; probably a pinched nerve , according to tests. I had tried an epidural steroid shot many years ago for my long-standing back pain , with little relief, but this pain was level 10, so I got an almost painless cortisone shot in my cervical spine. It was quite miraculous, stopping the shock-like pain the very day of the injection, and my only side effect was a short-lived headache and minor raising of my glucose levels (which subside about a week after each shot). I got a 2nd shot for the residual pain in my arm, again, great results. Decided to try it for my lower back, since that pain has gotten worse over the years, and not much pain relief, but I think the shot is responsible for the lessening of my many recurring leg and foot cramps, which are probably/apparently caused by my back issues. So, I hope to be able to get more shots as needed; when the pain gets to be unbearable, these injections can be a lifesaver!

The last story in Jordan Anderson's collection is an ambitious novella. It has overtones of Algernon Blackwood and Jack London, in that it's a tale of the snowy wilderness. It's a weird tale, but the focus is as much on the protagonist's suffering as the strange forces that besiege his isolated home.
Old Jack is a loner, a man who lost his one love in tragic circumstances and has withdrawn from the world. He bought a cabin in the wild from a man who warned him not to go outside during the darkest days of winter. The supernatural force, when it appears, is satisfyingly bizarre and menacing - a tide of blackness that sweeps down and engulfs his valley.
As the tale unfolds we learn more of Jack's background. Past and present become entangled as childhood trauma repeats itself, with variations on a theme. However, there's a strong suggestion that he finds a kind of solace at the end. Overall it's a satisfying conclusion to a somewhat uneven collection. At his best the author is very good indeed, but his work would benefit from firm editing. He has a tendency to (in my opinion) over-write and pile on too much verbiage. Cleaner lines would have made the longer tales more memorable.
And that rounds off my running review of The Things That Grow With Us. Next up comes a new collection of British ghost stories by authors from outside the field. Prepare for some forthright opinions - praise, blame, the chucking around of epithets. It's all here, folks.

(Reuters) - A man who burglarized the Atlanta home of baseball legend Hank Aaron and stole "priceless" rings destined for the Baseball Hall of Fame has been sentenced to eight years in prison and 42 years on probation.
Isiah Slaton, 24, pleaded guilty late Monday to burglary and theft charges. He admitted burglarizing Aaron's home last July and taking team baseball rings and two BMW vehicles, the Fulton County District Attorney's office said.
In a statement, Aaron called the rings "priceless" and said he intended to donate them to the Hall of Fame.
Aaron, who is now 80, broke Babe Ruth's career home run record as an Atlanta Brave in 1974. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1982.
Jury selection is expected to begin Tuesday in the trial of one of Slaton's co-defendants. Charges against a third man are pending.

I contacted Dani to paint something for my mom's birthday that needed to include wine/old italian vibes with a modern twist... let me just say, she hit the nail on the head! It came in the mail, and I was astounded at what she created with my vague color pallets for inspiration, especially since she used a medium that she doesn't use often. I can honestly say you can't tell--the brush work is amazing and intricate. I would 100% recommend her for anything and have/wil purchase her original work as well as contract with her again :)
Noah did a large format commission painting for me. Great experience with the artist. And I love the painting. Thanks Noah!
I was fortunate to meet Adnan Quedar at a local festival and was most impressed with his artwork. I fell in love with a specific large scenic painting but needed another painting the same size to go with it. Adnan took time to personally create another painting in the same scenic colors which is absolutely beautiful and goes perfectly with the first painting. They are truly exceptional and magnificent works of art! I have received many compliments on both paintings from anyone who sees them. It was a sheer pleasure to work with Adnan. He is very sincere and takes pride in his work. I am delighted to recommend him to anyone who is in need of original outstanding artwork. He also is very reasonable in his prices and works with the customer to make sure he/she is pleased.
Her original artwork is of a style that worked very well with what I wanted to express. She works easily with people of all ages, which was important to me because I had students that wanted to work with a professional artist. She is a great collaborator and the final result was beautiful!
Over 29 years experience. Our quality will be remembered long after our price! Stucco from repairs to the finish. Products that last (we stand behind our work in writing).

Do you know someone who always seems to develop an ailment when there's work to be done? Someone who merits an Academy Award for his or her superb simulation of symptoms? Then you know a malingerer. The verb malinger comes from the French word malingre, meaning "sickly," and one who malingers feigns illness. In its earliest uses in the 19th century, malinger usually referred to a soldier or sailor pretending to be sick or insane to shirk duty. Later, psychologists began using malingering as a clinical term to describe the feigning of illness in avoidance of a duty or for personal gain. Today, malinger is used in just about any context in which someone fakes sickness or injury to get out of an undesirable task.

Are you fed up with all the countless fitness workouts that promise you results, but get you nowhere in sight of your fitness goals? Or, are you a fitness-freak ready to take your workout regimen to the next level? Well, if you are positively inclined to change the very way you work out and you want to get all geared up, head out over to the one-stop destination for the latest news regarding all that you will need to achieve this! Find the best and innovative trends in fitness training at trainhardgetfit.com. Read expert reviews regarding exercise products that are designed to get your body into the shape that it deserves!
Why all the fuss to get into shape??
Professionals in the field of healthcare have long vouched for the numerous benefits that have been associated with exercise. The health experts at http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/regular-exercise-changes-brain-improve-memory-thinking-skills-201404097110 have recently published a very interesting article. According to their experts, regular exercise is vital to improving brain activity. This is caused by the increase in blood circulation, due to the strenuous exercises. Remember, cardiovascular and muscle-strengthening exercises, cause the heart to beat much faster, thereby leading to an increase in the amount of blood flowing throughout the body. This increase will affect the brain, making it more active and much sharper. Also, exercise has been known to promote better sleep and as an effective means to combat mood swings. These findings have motivated many a couch potato to get up and plan the exercise routines that are best suited for them.
Now, one of the best workouts that are designed to give a body that fine chiseled look are muscle-strengthening exercises. If you are thinking about venturing into a strength-training program, you will need to carefully consult with a certified fitness professional so as to learn and perform the various techniques that are associated with this form of physical training. Apart from that well-toned muscular look, some of the other cool benefits associated with this form of exercise are:
· A significant increase in muscle mass, making it easy and simple to attain and sustain a healthy body weight.
· Helps to slow down some of the effects of aging like the loss in bone density.
· Decreases the effects of disorders like arthritis.
· Increases the body's level of endurance, making it ready to withstand any hardship.
Now, for strengthening exercise certain machines or devices will have to be bought. Dumbbells, Fitness-balls, etc. are all effective in the pursuit of muscle-enhancement. But, one of the best tools, recommended by most fitness trainers is the Weighted Vest.
What are Weighted Vests?
A weighted vest is one of the best ways to carry weight. It is a vest loaded with a precise amount of weights. It enables a form of resistance training, allowing the user to carry weights and train harder. The use of these vests enables the users to take their fitness routines to the next level. They will be doing the usual exercises but will have the effects of weight training as well.

As we find ourselves at the end of the academic year, our Head of School's retirement is upon us. Below is a letter from our beloved Terry to our community. His years of service have shaped this institution into the educational pillar that it is, and he will be passing the torch to the equally capable Dr. Yann Lussiez.
May 12, 2017
It is time to begin the process of leave-taking, of transition and of looking back for me and looking forward for the school. I have played but a small role in helping create a place where students can thrive and realize their potential; a place where adults are in the background, nurturing, guiding, teaching and being role models, a place where students are primary, prominent and in the center of the "experience."
I have always thought that the reason Desert Academy exists is to help children grow by valuing their individuality, their uniqueness, and by honoring their destiny — whatever that may mean.
Thankfully, this is the Desert Academy that exists now, in 2017, and my hope for the future is entrusted in people who "get it" — who know the "key" of Desert's success and who are true servants, who understand that it's their charge to nurture the next generation. I have had the pleasure of working during this transition with our next Head (Desert's 7th), Dr. Yann Lussiez. He "gets it." Together with Leslie Livingston, our Executive Director of Operations and Student Life, who also understands the deep meaning of our mission, he will lead our school to the next level of excellence.
As with any journey, the steps along the way aren't usually noted until one arrives and looks back: the adoption of the IB, the Diploma Program, then the Middle Years Program, our move to our new campus, doubling of our enrollment, and then doubling again to 170 students this year, growth of our athletic teams, our vibrant arts programs, increasing awards, the highest ACT scores in the city, an ever-increasing pool of teacher talent, and more. Our continuing authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organization and the highest commendation from AdvancED, our accreditation agency, are clear expressions of the quality of academics for which we have become known.
Transition, by its very nature, means change, and change leads to some degree of uncertainty. We should not, in this case, think of uncertainty as problematic or ominous. Change can be transformative, energizing and often has an emergent quality. Ultimately, we can't remain static anyway, even if we wished it, as the Greek philosopher Heraclitus reminds us: "All is flux; nothing stays still."
What will not change is our steadfast commitment to honoring the individual student and our passionate guidance of our students toward the joy of engagement and curiosity in the learning process.
There is such a solid foundation here, so much to build upon. I am confident in Dr. Yann's ability to nurture the seeds of learning here in this school I deeply cherish. I leave hoping my small contributions have mattered in the lives of the adults with whom I have collaborated and the students whom I have been fortunate enough to teach and mentor. I hope that each of them takes a bit of what we have created here out into the wide world and makes the most of it.
With warm regards,
June 21, 2017
Dear Desert Academy Community,
It is with great enthusiasm and pride that I step into the leadership role at Desert Academy. I have seen firsthand the entire school community's commitment to Desert's mission and to growing that beautiful essence we call "Desertness." I have been inspired by our students' incredible achievements, brought to tears through their kindness and generosity, and feel eager to share in their vision of a better world. Walking the halls with visitors and friends, I have been proud to show off the high level of expertise, collaboration, and caring of our teachers and leadership team. Desert is a magical place, a school that you can fall in love with and a school that will love you back.
Over the past twelve years in educational leadership, I have discovered that there is great fulfillment in leading a community towards the achievement of a worthy goal. Leadership is service with the goal of inspiring the school community and encouraging all participants to think of themselves as leaders and part of a team. I have learned that, without a culture of care, learning can't take place. As Head of School, my goal is to lead Desert with mutual trust, purposeful inclusion, and a steadfast commitment to the school's mission and vision. I will strive to keep excellence and empathy at the center of all I do, through active listening, perspective taking, story telling, humor and compassion.
I am inspired by Kaizen principles: throwing out old fixed ideas about how to do things and how things should work, thinking positively, not waiting for perfection, correcting mistakes as soon as they surface, embracing the question "why," the wisdom of the collective, and basing decisions on data instead of on opinions. By way of sharing that data, I will send out a "State of the School" update twice a year that will include feedback from a number of surveys we will conduct with our various stakeholders. We will use that feedback to highlight both successes and challenges as well as to inform continuous refinements to our strategic plan. At the end of the day, that information will help insure that every faculty and staff member is supported and nurtured. Optimally, this will mirror the nurturing we, in turn, provide for our students.
I am fortunate, indeed, to lead such a remarkable community to the next chapter of excellence. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
Dr. Yann Lussiez

Hi guys,
Well that's Liam and I moved into our new flat. I am loving it, it's so quiet where we are and everyone is up so early in the morning walking dogs and going for runs so hopefully it will keep me motivated. I hated living in the city as its always so congested, everyone just sort of bops along and I hate the pollution. I know you get these problems everywhere but as least where I live now people bloody smile at you ha-ha.
Anyway, enough about me, this week is all about my Weekly Favourites.
1. Lush Bath Bombs - After moving house (this weeks most hated task) I have really needed to pamper myself as I had to do most of it myself due to Liam being away and everyone else I know were working. So I have been enjoying my lush bath bombs over the past couple of nights which have firmly relaxed me.
2. The Sopranos - Liam recently got this boxset from his dad so we decided to watch it from the beginning again and O.M.G it's as good as I remember it. I actually love Tony Soprano :) if you love mobster movies then this is right up your alley.
3. Sanctuary Spa 5 minute Detox Mask (£10) - As I said I have moved house this week so I have been chilling out at night and you can't have a pamper session without a face mask. I am loving this mask at the moment, so much so that I haven't used my Good Things Manuka Honey Mask at all this week. I will do a full review on this bad boy at the end of the month but if I'm loving it after 2 weeks I will probably love it even more at the end of July.
4. Wotsits - I have taken a real hankering for Wotsits over the past week. Nothing else to really say on the matter apart from these are the best cheesy crisps out.
I haven't really had time to do make up or anything so I don't have any make up products to share with you guys, sorry!
What have you been loving this week? Let me know in the comments below.

So here's a little back-story to my attending the Taiwan tournament. Last year this time I was in the US for some reason and was unable to attend and was forced to live vicariously through the accomplishments of my teammates who had gone. They spoke of having such a great time that I promised myself that I would go the following year. I hadn't been to Taiwan in over 14 years so I was curious to know how things had changed since the mid-90's. Always a tough group at the tournaments, I knew the guys in Taiwan are serious about their jiu-jitsu. Another hilight for me would be the Baret Yoshida seminar and other guest black-belts who would compete in the NO-GI ELITE DIVISION. GI (AUG 22, 2008)
So this time around I committed myself to competing in the heavyweight division with those giants and didn't bother to cut any weight, hehe. I also learned my lesson and made sure I focused on what I was there to do which was to compete first, then cover the event second. So thankfully no injuries this time besides the normal tournament aches. The morning started well as I had gotten in the night before and checked in to my quiet 'love hotel' just a quick taxi ride away from the community sports center. Which by the way is something I wish Bangkok would have since this place ( the sports center) was really nice. Several story building committed to housing events and sports facilities like judo, kendo and ping pong! One of the guest teams was the Da-tong Judo Team which did a great job of putting themselves in there, mixing it up. Some did better than others but it was an inspiring thing to see the coaches show their interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and expose their students to the benefits of cross training. I'm sure us BJJ guys learned a thing or two as well. The lighter guys made the bulk of the competitors at this comp, showing fast-paced and technical matches. The two guys that really stuck out in my mind when I think about the lighter divisions are Kai and Isaac. Being that they're teammates, I'm sure they know each others games quite well so it was nice to see what they would push for on the mat.
As for me, I lost the first round in my weight division by 1 advantage with the score 0-0 but was able to come back with two more wins in the absolute to take me to the finals where I would meet the same giant. Unfortunately for me I lost this one by points. I knew coming into this that it wouldn't be easy and I definitely walk away with a lot to work on but that's also what makes me excited to get back to training this week. Hopefully my pics do a better job of describing what it was like and the intensity of the fights. I want to thank all the guys I fought this weekend and to everyone that came compete and support the scene.I think there is also a shout out in order as Vova from Taiwan BJJ Academy was promoted this weekend to blue-belt after a great showing this tournament. Guys, look out for this one, haha. We hope to see him in Bangkok this September.

What a great day to frolf (Disc Golf)! Corey and I hit the course at Morse Beach Park. As you can see it was pretty soggy and turned out to be a little more windy then we expected. There are a few reasons that this form of golf surpasses that other game of golf with the white ball.
#1 - free
#2 - equipment to get started $15-$20
#3 - takes 45 minutes to play 18 holes
#4 - no funny clothes to wear
We had a great time and I beat Corey on the back nine (we won't speak of the front nine, that was warm up round).
What have you done in the last couple of days to enjoy this weather before we get our last big snow of the season?

Right Foot Blue (x 3)
Fell in love with Victoria and Vancouver, B.C. on my first trip there. The area has some of the most beautiful people and scenery I've ever encountered, and the food was dazzlingly good. The local salmon sushi was the best fish I've ever had and will remain so until they start making fish out of candy.
Between my old friends and our new favorite food being B.C. based, this story about what's turning up on the beaches was a little bit disturbing (this is part of the story from Canada.com):
Third right foot washes up on B.C. coast
RCMP puzzled by strange findings
Canwest News Service
Published: Friday, February 15, 2008
VICTORIA - Three severed feet have washed ashore on B.C.'s Gulf Islands in the past six months -- all right feet, all in sneakers --in an increasingly bizarre mystery for police.
The latest foot was found last Friday on Valdes Island, a small community between Vancouver Island and the mainland.
RCMP say they are not sure whether foul play is involved and are trying to match any missing person cases to the severed extremity.
Two other right feet, both in size 12 men's sneakers, washed ashore on nearby Gabriola and Jedidiah islands last August. RCMP collected DNA from the remains but could not match them to anyone in police databases.
So, remember when you're in B.C., there's .6 miles to a kilometer, just over one yard per meter and three feet to a beach.

3rd McKinney BrotherThe story: JT, the 3rd McKinney brother meets a young, single mother at a diner. He is instantly attracted to the Paige and her daughter. JT and the daughter bond over their prostheses. He proceeds to assist Paige with her daughter. They travel to meet his family, decide to move from Southern California to Virginia so Paige can help Hannah (wife of Stephen see book #2). JT makes peace with his past (reference the missing limb) and they live happily ever after in their mission to re-populate the world. The good: "He'd never felt a kiss all the way to his heart." I loved this line. The bad: I had a hard time staying focused while reading this book. The confusing: "Her daughter hadn't been around many kids, not because of her leg, more location and time. The trailer park in Texas was mostly older people now, not a lot of playdates going on." I THOUGHT SHE WAS RAISING HER DAUGHTER IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA? 3 Stars (It was OK)by BoxerLover2 on May 18, 2016

LOVED!Loved! This! Book! I didn't think it was possible to love any of the McKinney brothers as much as I loved Matt but JT comes real close! The kindness and compassion he show's Paige's daughter Casey just had my heart thumping like crazy. After having his football career shattered after a car crash, JT has devoted his life to developing the best prosthetic devices in the world. After dealing with his own injury which resulted in the loss of his leg he knows how important the right prosthetic can be. When he meets young Casey and learns from Paige that she suddenly doesn't want to wear her device he offers the young mother and her daughter help to get the device just right for her. He struggles though. He lives with the memories of the crash and the events that lead up to it as well as those that follow. That was eight years ago and Paige is the first woman who has tempted him to open his heart again. Is he willing to risk it all? This is another fantastic book in the series. Don't worry if you haven't read the others though, this can easily be read standalone. Do yourself a favor though and read them all. This is a great series you don't want to miss. I highly recommend it.by Bette on April 19, 2016

Slow start, but you can't help but love Jake.I have to admit it took me a while to get into it but once I did, I have to admit Jake is one really great guy. Of course, Casey was the real star. Since I haven't read any of the other books in the series, I hadn't met Jake McKinney before WORTH IT ALL. He's the youngest of the McKinney boys and had dreams of playing football professionally until an unfortunate car accident stole those dreams, and his leg. Eight years has passed since then, he's moved to California and started a business developing amazing prosthetics for others like him. Jake gets much satisfaction from helping others and although, his work satisfies him, he's lonely even while intrigued with the pretty waitress at his favorite diner. But when his life becomes entwined with hers, and another very special lady, his life changes but will it be for the better? Paige Roberts has dealt with some bad things in her life but loves her little girl, Casey, more than anything in the world. She wants her daughter's life to be very different from her own. She wants her to feel safe, and confident. When her little girl decides she doesn't want to wear her prosthetic, it's a handsome, and rather brooding, man who changes her mind. Paige feels herself drawn to Jake but her hesitations, fears, and belief that there is no such as a happily-ever-after has her holding back. I had a little trouble getting into the story at first. I don't know if that was because I hadn't read the other books or because it just wasn't resonating with me, but once I did I began to fall in love. I have to say that the real star of WORTH IT ALL is little Casey Roberts. She is the most adorable, precocious, and real fictional child in a romance that I've ever encountered. Her connection to Jake is one that I would like to have seen more of in terms of Paige's connection to him, but I enjoyed it all the same. WORTH IT ALL, book three in the McKinney Brothers series by Claudia Connor is a sweet, heart breaking at times contemporary romance that has me adding the rest of the series to my ever-growing TBR list. I just have to experience the rest of the McKinney brothers after falling somewhat in love with Jake. He's everything we'd like to see exist in real men but know can't really. He's funny, he's sensitive, he's sexy as hell, and even when he's brooding, there's a caring, inquisitive side to him that makes him special and intelligent. I love the story-line being that there are so many who have lost limbs through tragedy and military action. I love that Claudia gave us a look at the feelings and worries of those who use prosthetics, and those who in turn worry about them. Jake is patient with Casey, as well as with Paige. As if sensing that Paige is fighting her own demons, he gives her similar time and patience with a much different result. He's such a wonderful romance hero. I highly recommend WORTH IT ALL by Claudia Connor to anyone who loves a truly sweet, timely, sensitive, and well-written contemporary romance. I'm so glad this one came across my radar. It was definitely WORTH IT ALL to read. ***eARC provided by publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest and unscripted review.by Amy V on April 29, 2016

Wonderful romanceI liked this sweet romantic story. The characters in this book were absolutely wonderful and the story made my heart melt. This book is listed as the third book in the McKinney Brothers series but it is really more of a stand alone that is loosely linked to other stories. This is a series that you can easily jump in at any point. I have only read the second and third books and don't feel like I missed anything besides maybe another great story. This story focuses on JT, Paige, and Casey. JT, or Jake, lost his leg in a car accident. He know works to make prosthetic devices with advanced technologies. He really has completely recovered from his physical injuries and is able to do just about anything except forgive himself. He has had his eye on the cute waitress even before he realizes that her daughter could benefit from his expertise. Paige is a single mom who works tirelessly to make sure her daughter Casey is given a good life. She makes every decision in her life with Casey in mind and is determined to go to school so that she can get a better job to take care of them. Paige does not believe in fairy tales. Not for a minute. Paige has a really hard time doing anything for herself and really doesn't end up with a lot of free time to do anything for fun. Will she take a chance on Jake? I loved the characters in this story. Casey really added a lot to the story and I don't often like kids as a main focus in a romantic novel. Casey was just a lot of fun and she was completely honest as kids tend to be. Her connection with Jake was absolutely precious. I could feel the love that Jake and Casey shared as much as the chemistry between Jake and Paige. These three were just meant to be together. I would say that this romance was more of a sweet story than a sexy one. There were a few sexy times but I was really pulled in by the sweet moments. I would highly recommend this book to fans of contemporary romance. I plan to read much more of Claudia Connor's work in the near future. I received an advance reader edition of this book from Random House Publishing Group - Loveswept via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review.by Carole's Random Life on May 22, 2016

I mentioned a couple of times that we'll be in Stockholm for Fashion Week in February. Tomorrow we're leaving Berlin again to fly to Stockholm again, and I can't wait. Since it's finally getting warmer in Berlin, it's hard to leave the city to travel to Stockholm where it is probably a bit colder. But I really like this city, so I can't wait! 🙂 We'll attend some shows, but we'll have some free time as well. So if you guys have any recommendation regarding restaurants, shops, etc. please let me know. For now, I'll leave you with a new outfit post shot last week:
Casual after and before Fashion Week
The highlight of this casual outfit are my new Porsche Design sunglasses I got via Maverick & Wolf. I opted for a casual outfit with a little touch Rock`n`Roll. 😉 That's why I added my new sunglasses as well as the studded boots. It's the perfect outfit to wear in between the Fashion Weeks (Berlin Fashion Week took place last week and Stockholm Fashion Week will happen next week). It's comfortable yet non-boring because of all the details. As you can see, I wasn't wearing a jacket for the shoot; that's because we had around 10°C in Berlin that day. Isn't it amazing? It kind of feels like spring is coming early this year – at least, I hope spring will come soon. 🙂 Have a great Saturday folks and let me know what you think about this look. xx
P.S.: Here's comes the news: you can shop the Porsche Design P8478 Sunglasses and many more nice sunglasses from brands such as Ray Ban, Celine or Tom Ford online at Maverick & Wolf. The best: you can save 20 percent with the code WHAELSEBLOG. Happy Shopping. <3

My initial shock about director/producer Arnold Laven's death last month has morphed into regret and appreciation. Regret for only knowing him for slightly under a year and appreciation for the brief time we spent together talking about his career and the movies.
After attending a celebration of his life at Arnold's residence today, I was awed with the outpouring of genuine love for a man who literally spent his life giving of himself to his friends and family. Yes, there were some of his old television and movie friends present; Dick Van Patten, Dennis Dugan and Johnny Crawford who spoke movingly of his close relationship with Arnold that began with multiple auditions for The Rifleman. However, many of Arnold's friends have nothing to do with show biz. There were his old tennis buddies (for many years, Arnold ran the Arnold Laven Memorial Tennis Tournament at his place every Memorial Day Weekend), there was the guy who had the locker next to him at the health club, his CPA, old friends from his days in the 1st Moton Picture Unit, neighbors in Encino along with the sons and daughters of old friends who had passed on and looked upon Arnold as a surrogate Uncle or Father.
Everyone spoke of Arnold's humility, his righteous love for his wife and family, an unabashed zeal for all things living (he would stop a tennis game to have everyone observe a squirrel) and generosity of spirit about everything. Although I only knew Arnold more than slightly, every moment rang true. Arnold was one of those rare people who could converse about any subject and was interested in everyone else. A microphone was passed around and everybody had an opportunity to remember what Arnold Laven meant to them. It was joyfully moving. We sat next to a young man that Arnold and his wife virtually adopted and raised as a grandson. In addition to Arnold's sister and his daughter and son, I chatted with an old Army buddy of Arnold's who grew up on the Universal backlot and was an extra in The Bride of Frankenstein. There were so many other nice people and they were all there for Arnold.

Another man was able to pull the victim out of the fast-moving water before emergency workers arrived, an Ada County Sheriff's Office spokesman reports.
Paramedics checked the man out, but he appears to be OK, the spokesman said.
The man was checking a flood gate near the Hatchery/Trout roads intersection about 11:10 a.m. when he fell into the water and was rescued by a man who was with him, ACSO reports.
"By the time we got on scene, he was able to get out of the water," an Ada County dispatcher said.

Jamak Fabrication, a Texas organization, sells windshield wiper blades created from silicone, alternatively of rubber, that are becoming marketed as "the planet's 1st totally recyclable wiper blade." When the blades fray, you send the squeegee portions back to the company, which grinds them into new manufacturing resources. The wiper frames go in your residential recycling bin. Tripledge Green blades conserve landfill space and require no oil to create, as rubber bracelets isn't petroleum-based mostly, the organization says. And they expense about as much as regular, rubber blades.
Rubber silicone bracelets cater to all kinds of fashion. You can either go for the plain black or plain white rubber silicone bracelets. Or you can go colour crazy and you can place 2, 3, or 4 colours on your rubber silicone bracelets. Most businesses offer you you to place as several colors on the bracelet as you want, but obviously, the more colours the pricier it gets.
For example, allow's say you would like to make an apple candle in September for the fall season. You could search and uncover apple molds and purchase them, or, why not make candle generating molds from a genuine apple?

London – it's quite busy, isn't it? But maybe more than you even realise.
As of this time last year, 8.6 million people call Greater London their home.
That makes London a LOT bigger than other UK cities. You could fit people from all these city districts into London, for example:
Admittedly we're cheating a little, because just as 'London' is much bigger than just the central district, so 'Greater Manchester' is much bigger than just the middle bit of Manchester.
But even if you take entire metropolitan counties, you can still fit everyone from five of the country's biggest into Greater London:
See? There's loads of us. Who else could you fit in London?
Yep, there are more Londoners than Scottish (5.3 million) and Welsh people (3.0 million) put together.
How about some American cities? You could fit the citizens from these all places comfortably inside the Big Smoke:
In fact, we're even bigger than all these countries combined:
Come to think of it, London is also more populous than Israel, Switzerland, Denmark, Finland, Norway, New Zealand and Jamaica... to name but a few. (If we became our own country, we'd be the 96th largest – just a few thousand people smaller than Austria.)
If this is all making your blood pressure rise, just be glad you don't live in Shanghai, which at 24 million people (nearly three times the size of London) is the largest city in the world:
Finally, a snappy demographic fact to impress someone on a first date: if you drained the blood from every living Londoner, it would be enough to fill 16.2 Olympic size swimming pools. Mmm... blood pool.

✚ 25 photos that prove London is just a tranquil village
✚ 17 of the best alternative tube maps of 2015
✚ What London will look like once all 250 approved skyscrapers are built
Just like the map of London is of Greater London at 8.6m people....Greater Chicago is.....9.9m people. London likes to brag how big it is, but rarely every does an apples vs apples comparison to other cities (otherwise it would probably find that it is a fairly low rises/low density suburban city.
I heard there was a completely new mutation of a mosquito in the London Underground! People of London, anyone looking to meet new locals and travellers just propose an event on Iceberg and see who's in!
Easy put; London is ranked 25.
@Alejandro C no. It's just RANK...
You've left out Halton and Sefton from the Merseyside (which is actually the Liverpool city region) regional graphic.
so there you go...I'm from LA and lived in London and have been to shanghai, Mexico city, Sao Paulo, Beijing, New York, and Cairo...and while London is crammed (rammed to americans sounds like london is getting sodomized!) it's nowhere near as bad as Cairo or Sao Paulo...the problem with London is piss poor urban planning...driving in london is an exercise in futility, buses that can't get around tiny ass tight roads that have been updated since freaking PM Gladstone....no affordable housing, meanwhile tonnes of vacant buildings that are tax write offs...it's a great city unfortunately being looted by by a bunch of eton twats!

Population Statistics
Refers to urban agglomeration not cities under such stats London would include much of the South East commuter belt and would be about 20 million.
@Duane B This is incorrect. You missed Jakarta, whose urban agglomeration is ver 30 million and puts it comfortably in 2nd place
these comparisons aren't quite apt; you're comparing "Greater London" to strictly the city populations of many of these places. But the Chicago metro area, known as Chicagoland to locals, has a population of 9.5 million people, and the LA metro area is 13 million...
Greater London IS London's city proper. London's metropolitan area easily is 14-16 million people.
The city of London proper as u put it is 1 yes 1square mile not too many in there los Angeles is huge by comparison full of the idiot's who ruin our lives in the city of London
