Here is a fun, simple gross motor activity to work on visual tracking, ball skills, and proprioception motor skills.

Why is the Proprioceptive System important for our children's development?
Proprioception motor skills help us judge how far away or how close things are, as well as how much force is needed to move an object. "The term proprioception is used to describe the sensory information that contributes to the sense of the position of self and movement. Sir Charles Bell named the "sixth sense" as the sense of the positions and actions of the limbs (McCloskey 1978). Sherrington (1906) first used the term proprioception to define the sense of body position. Body position is perceived both at the conscious and unconscious levels. The information of conscious proprioception is utilized to facilitate complex motor activity, while unconscious proprioception is important to coordinate basic posturing during sitting, standing, and simple gait activities. Defects in the conscious proprioception system manifest as stumbling, although gait and posture may be normal. Defects anywhere along the unconscious proprioceptive pathways may be manifest as postural deficits or ataxia." (International Encyclopedia of Rehabilitation)
Target skills:
- Visual Tracking
- Upper Body Strength
- Proprioception motor skills
- Ball Skills
- Balls of various sizes
- Rope and some place to hang the ball
- Pantyhose, net, spandex, or a mesh bag
- Various bats, paddles, and rackets
Put a ball in pantyhose, a net or tie in a length of spandex material. Hang the ball from the rope and hit with the bat, paddles, etc.. We tied one up in our house to entice more interaction with hitting the ball. You can change up the size and weight of the ball along with different bats and paddles.
This gross motor activity turned out to be a real winner at our house. My son had been very reluctant to play t-ball. He kept saying that sports just weren't his thing and getting him to go to practice was a painful affair. The idea for this game came up when I was talking about his visual tracking with a friend. After bouncing ideas off of each other we came up with this gross motor activity that incorporates visual tracking skills. It is a bonus that this game works on tracking skills and proprioception motor skills. I did not realize then that it would also have the added benefit of building his confidence and thus, his enjoyment when playing ball games.

The Leaders in Hormone Replacement Therapy and Low Testosterone Treatment in Tampa
Welcome to K3 NOW, a specialty medical practice in Tampa who helps men and women recapture the vitality and good health of their youth. We specialize in Hormone Replacement Therapy, Low Testosterone Treatment and advanced anti-aging medicine that is used to prevent, identify, treat and reverse age related diseases. Some of our anti-aging treatments include:
We are conveniently located in South Tampa at 603 South Boulevard. We offer additional appointment times outside of regular business hours to accommodate those who can not make it to our office between 9-5. Patients from out of town routinely take advantage of our complimentary telephone consultations.
Aging is the result of cumulative cellular damage that begins to occur from the moment of conception. As you reach physical and sexual maturity, the cumulative rate of damage increases in speed and intensity. The longer you wait to attack your rate of aging the harder it is to get it under control and the harder it is to reverse its effects.
The bottom line is we can not reverse time or your chronological age, but your biological age can be improved. Poor health doesn't have to be a consequence of aging if you are proactive in seeking treatment that focuses on the health of the entire body.
Our 5 Point Restorative Approach
Our comprehensive program is a 5-point restorative approach, based on scientific thinking and biological principles in harmony with the body, to achieve optimal levels of hormones, nutrients, minimal toxins, a healthy mind and an optimum physical body.
The program requires a medical history assessment, laboratory analysis, an initial panel, physician review and follow up labs. Your program will include clinical recommendations and education regarding hormone replacement therapy.
K3 NOW offers a wide variety of anti-aging therapy plans to fit individualized goals and budgets with the option to purchase additional treatment recommendations as desired. Plan recommendations fall primarily into these five categories:
- Sex Hormones
- Thyroid Support
- Adrenal Support
- Essential Vitamins, Supplements, Amino Acids, Fat Burners
- Enhancement, Optimization
A healthy lifestyle begins by making good decisions and selecting skilled professionals to be part of your healthcare team. Our team of professionals are here to guide you to improve and maintain optimal health and vitality to ensure your quality of life. We take this responsibility very seriously and will do all we can to help you achieve your goals. Our physicians are conventionally trained with a dedication to whole body medicine which some call integrative medicine. This integrative approach puts the patient at the center, to address not just the symptoms, but more importantly the real causes of illness.
We know that making the choice to invest in your health can be a difficult decision for most. That is why we strive to offer affordable and individualized care plans for each patient.
Investing in your health can be an easy choice when you know you are receiving exceptional care at a fair price.
Call us to schedule a complimentary consultation so we can discuss making your health a top priority.

Jeffrey Wright is ready for Nucky.
Your favorite glamourous, bloody Prohibition-era show is returning in September, and it's added Casino Royale's Jeffrey Wright and Office Space's Ron Livingston. Wright looks to be a solid foil for Steve Buscemi, Livingston seems something of a fancy man, and Nucky is clearly still a conflicted badass. No sign of Patricia Arquette, but she'll be there, too.

The Problem
Housing conditions in the United Kingdom are now considered to be among the worst in Western Europe; there is a chronic shortage of affordable homes leading to over-crowding and a rise in homelessness.
This Government's target of 150,000 new affordable homes being built by 2015 was dealt a severe blow when only 10% of this figure were registered as new build 'starts' for the 2011-2012 period. Failure to meet such housing targets has left an estimated 1.7 million people on housing waiting lists; many living in squalid conditions with no long term security.
The Empty Homes Agency estimates that there are over 930,000 empty homes across the United Kingdom; 350,000 of which have been vacant for over six months. Disturbingly, both un-inhabitable homes and properties due for demolition are not included in these statistics; abandonment of this scale is bad for local communities as it denies homes for those in housing need and provides a honey pot for crime and anti-social behaviour.
Government Response
The Government's thrust to empower private developers and Registered Social Landlords to achieve new building quotas has taken priority over the refurbishment of existing stock. Whilst it continues on it's path of austerity, funding for new or existing housing projects remains restricted; lack of investment here is fuelling increases in both crime and homelessness.
We have proven that empty home renovation offers the most cost effective solution to the housing problems stated above. The social, financial and environmental savings to retain existing, structurally sound, empty properties, that can be upgraded at low cost, makes sound economic and ecological sense.
For this reason, we have chosen to focus our activities and resources in Merseyside; a housing action area with approximately 29,294 empty homes and 48,000 people on the housing waiting list.
Our Plan
Over the coming period, working in conjunction with the Local Authority's renewal plan, we intend to purchase 100 empty properties and bring them back into habitable use as affordable homes.
We will renovate each property up to and beyond the Decent Homes Standard using local labour at all times. Each property will be upgraded to improve it's energy efficiency and environmental impact. Refurbishments will be professionally managed to ensure a high standard of workmanship and a timely completion. Once renovated, the accommodation will be let at an affordable rent to people who are homeless, facing homelessness or in desperate housing need.
We will recoup our investment by transferring ownership of the completed properties to a housing association, charity or similar organisation who are committed to retaining them on a long term affordable housing basis.
Income generated from sales will be used to support The Homesavers Charity which offers assistance to low income and homeless people who are unable to gain access to private lets due to their inability to provide a deposit or tenancy guarantee; allowing vulnerable tenants to move out of inadequate housing, often owned by rogue landlords, and into higher quality homes.
We also aim to provide help to other non- profit organisations who assist the homeless or are intending to develop their own affordable housing projects.
During the ten years that we have been undertaking empty property renovations, the purchase and refurbishment costs have been both qualified and quantified. Within the Merseyside area, £50,000 is the average expenditure we anticipate that will be required to purchase and refurbish a traditional two to four bedroomed terraced house; this figure has been calculated using economies of scale for all properties within the planned project.
Where You Fit In
As a registered Industrial and Provident Society, we are able to raise money by issuing Loanstock. This is an ideal method for us to borrow money from socially aware investors whose expectations are of a social dividend rather than a financial gain; these range from public spirited individuals to companies, charities and other societies. Monies raised in this way will be used to fund property purchases and refurbishment work costs in order to achieve our Plan.
Getting Involved
You can help us by investing in our Loanstock and choosing the level of interest you wish to receive; ranging from 0% to 5%. We hope that you will support this initiative and will be pleased to answer any questions you may have.

Abstract: :
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of low-intensity laser treatment on the choroidal circulation of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients participating in the Complications of AMD Prevention Trial (CAPT). Methods: This study included 30 AMD patients with bilateral drusen and visual acuity of 20/40 or better who were enrolled in the CAPT at the Scheie Eye Institute. The average age of the patients was 71 ± 6 years (mean ± standard deviation). Laser Doppler flowmetry (Oculix) was used to measure relative choroidal blood velocity (Chvel), volume (Chvol), and flow (Chflow) in the center of the fovea by asking the patients to fixate on a probing laser beam. Circulatory measurements were obtained in both eyes at baseline and three months following laser application. Laser treatment was applied in one eye and consisted of 60 light intensity 100 micron diameter spots located in a circular pattern 1500 to 2500 microns from the foveal center. Results are shown in arbitrary units (AU) as mean ± 1SD. Probability values are shown for paired, two tailed Student?s t-tests comparing choroidal hemodynamic parameters before and after laser photocoagulation therapy. Results: In comparison to baseline, no significant difference in Chvel, Chvol, or Chflow was observed three months following the application of low-intensity laser according to the CAPT protocol. In addition, no significant differences were detected in untreated eyes. Conclusions: No significant change in foveolar choroidal circulation was observed in this group of 30 AMD patients following laser photocoagulation treatment according to the CAPT protocol. Based on the variability of flow measurements in the untreated eyes, we have estimated that we have an 85% power to detect a 15% change in relative blood flow. A comparison of the circulatory changes found in the eyes that do and do not show regression of drusen after photocoagulation will be performed when the fundus photographic analysis of the patients is released by the CAPT study.

the stars at night are big and bright
deep in the hearrrrt of Texas!
(Actually, those are just jets circling DFW.)
Yes, folks, I believe this may be my first out-of-state blog entry. I'm in Dallas, TX this weekend for a student design conference. (Check it out at www.dsvcstudentshow.org.) About forty or so MO State kids are down here, and I've had such a good time hangin' with my beloved sophomore comrades, as well as getting to know some of the upperclassmen. Tonight was the last night of the conference and I learned a lot (I think)... actually, it's more like I just took in a lot of information and advice and looked at a lot of work and processed it and taught myself a few things:
- Every professional you show your portfolio to will have different opinions about it. Therefore, you have the right to have your own opinion about what you think is strong and what is weak. There is no "right answer."
- I have (and all my classmates have) the knowledge, skill, and creativity to be great designers; the difference between a great designer and a not-great designer is hard work. (Just a little effort, as James Victore called it.)
- Great designers have passion for their work. Take what you love--books, music, politics, kitties (or Qian Qian's kitties)--and put them in your work, both personal and professional. Do what you like. Make yourself laugh.
- A graphic designer's best friend is her printer. (By printer I mean a guy at a printing press, not an Epson.) To repeat an analogy I heard tonight, an engineer can design the world's greatest car, but if it doesn't have wheels, it's all for nothing. The printing and the paper are the wheels of a design.
- Design is social. Collaborate or die.
- Designers need the perfect balance of vanity and humility. If you don't believe you're amazing, you'll never bring yourself to put anything on paper; if you don't know you're terrible, you'll never grow.
(Kim, I blogged from your house! Yay!)

Aviation Minister Osita Chidoka has said the Federal Government is committed to control the spread of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) at its airports.
The minister addressed reporters yesterday in Lagos at the end of a two-day inspection of facilities and projects at the local and international wings of the Murtala Muhammed Airport in Ikeja.
He said part of his visit to the airport was to review the medical procedures, including the screening of inbound and outbound passengers, to ensure that air travellers and other airport users are protected from the virus.
Chidoka said: "I am coming out to make sure that the country does not go back in the fight against the virus. That is why we decided to go to the airports yesterday (Monday) to interact and reassure Nigerians of the government's commitment to keep our airports safe. It is also to make sure that it is not a transit point for the transmission of the Ebola virus.
"The virus is not a political issue; it is not an issue for passing the bulk. It is not an issue that recognises ethnicity or partisanship. It is an issue against humanity. It is an issue we should all rise up and fight. It is an issue we should all show restraint about and compassion for those who have been affected with the disease.
"So, we want to assure Nigerians of our commitment in keeping our airport EVD-free. It is a commitment I have."

Question about Alps MD 1000 Thermal Printer
Hi guys,
I have an MD-1000, and I've been trying to install the XP driver from the alps yahoo group. It installs but before the window finishes I get an error saying saying "the service cannot be installed due to an unknown error." I have another copy of the same driver that came with my printer and I get the same error (hence why I went to get the yahoo groups one.) What could be causing this, is there a fix?
Posted by will_jayne on
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) causes the printer to not work - Go to control panel and select system to see which version of Windows you are on. I chose the lazy way out by unistalling SP3 via the control panel programs feature and then adding the printer back in. This is a known issue http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951822 with a Microsoft fix available for the problem. Also check this site out for another way it was fixed http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/e308274c-2990-42c0-a98b-9d97eb24981d If you are using Windows Vista, the only way I have been able to get it to work is with a 32bit system (not 64bit) networking into a shared printer connected to an XP computer.

I am wondering if you have uninstalled all previous drivers .. I know in some instances the Alps Yahoo Groups suggest you un-install all drivers, so the program looks at it as a brand new install driver.
Try this.

The Wine Club
The most popular wine portal from India
Updates From Facebook
A Reason to Celebrate Indian Wine
The Princely State of Mysore recently hosted a three day gala wine festival which began on the premises of the Oil Palm Project Office of the Horticulture Department on B.N. Road. The festival was inaugurated by former Minister and MLA Tanveer Sait.
Board Managing Director B. Krishna, Deputy Director of Horticulture H.M. Nagaraj and officials from the Board and the department were also present.
Wine enthusiasts turned out in big numbers to this first-ever wine festival in Mysore which was jointly organized by the Karnataka Wine Board, Bangalore, and the Department of Horticulture. The event witnessed the participation of around eleven wineries and aimed to educate visitors about wine and promote wine culture, as the Board maintains that wine has health benefits.
Many foreign tourists visited the festival and were seen interacting with the representatives of wineries.
Speaking to the media persons, Tanveer Sait said, "Events like the wine festival would encourage wine grape cultivation in the State."
"As an alternative to tobacco cultivation, growers can switch over to wine grape cultivation in tobacco-growing areas of Mysore," he said.
Over 40 brands of red wine, white wine and sparkling wine from across India were available at the festival. A wine variety with naturally generated alcohol (not fortified) was also available at a couple of stalls.
Among the many wineries participating, was a winery from Nasik, Maharashtra. Prashanth Kumar, zonal manager, Nasik Vintners Private Ltd said, "Visitors will be educated about wine. It is advisable to serve some wines chilled to feel the real taste."
Another representative of a winery near Bangalore said the wine industry is growing by 20 to 30 per cent annum in the country, but it is small compared to the liquor industry.
According to Karnataka Wine Board, consumption of wine in India is less. The rate of wine consumption is growing at 25 to 30 per cent per year.
"Karnataka has plenty of opportunities for wine production. The climatic conditions in the State are best suited for the production of grapes suited for wine making. Krishna valley and Nandi valley in the State are considered important grape growing areas in the State. There is good demand for wines in local and international markets," it said in a press release.
There is zero per cent sugar in wines since all the available sugar gets converted into alcohol in the wine making process and therefore diabetic patients can drink wine (in reasonable limits).
All in all, the wine festival truly captured the festive spirit of Mysoreans ahead of the Dusshera festivities in the city.

Maily How exciting for you! I've been here just over a month and have not seen ainhtyng beyond the malls and some markets. I guess the monsoon and the fact that the entire city is gearing up for the Commonwealth Games makes it a bad time to take in any sights. Post October, I'll start my own sightseeing. Hopefully, I'll get my car/driver sorted out by then.I think we will be making a trip to see the Taj Mahal soon because we need to recce the place before we receive any overseas visitors. My husband's assistant told us that in his first year in Delhi, he visited the Taj Mahal 14 times. I think I'll be a Taj Mahal expert by the end of my three years. Hahaha .If you ever plan to come visit Delhi, let me know and we can hook up.
Georgiy Sir it is a great pleasure to hear that India is celbnratieg the Engineers day on 15th September.Dear sir i heard that Sir has developed a bridge which contains the his name on the bridge in Karnataka if you know kindly let me know about it. I will be thankful to you.

Lanes were beginning to reopen as of 5 p.m. Traffic had been diverted for an hour off the expressway at Harlem.
An accident around 4 p.m. Thursday on the outbound Stevenson near First Avenue shut down all lanes in that direction. A semi was involved. Illinois State Police are saying is that the semi collided with a vehicle, maybe rolling over that vehicle.

Often those who contact us about our Natural Burial Grounds or our environmentally friendly coffins have further questions regarding organising a funeral. This can be from people wanting information about:
- Organising a Funeral for someone who has just passed
- Organising a funeral in advance of death
- Useful Numbers
Organising a funeral for someone who has just passed
When someone dies, even if the death is expected, it can be a confusing and difficult time for everyone. Immediately following the death most people don't know what to do. The most important thing to remember is not to panic there is people who can help.
When death occurs it is important that you do not move the deceased until contact has been made with the deceased's GP. If the GP has attended to the deceased in the previous 28 days and is satisfied that their illness is the cause of death then they may instruct the family or friends to proceed with putting a funeral plan in place. This may involve contacting extended family, clergy and a funeral director whose main job is to assist you organise the funeral. (If it is a green funeral that you are considering then we recommend that you contact one of the funeral directors on our sister companies website http://www.greencoffinsireland.com/delivery-stockists.html as those listed will have eco friendly coffins in stock).
If the deceased has not seen the GP in the previous 28 days then the Garda and the coroner will need to be contacted and arrangements made for a post-mortem to be carried out. A post-mortem will help try to establish the cause of death, in some cases this may involve an inquest being held. A funeral director will be called to remove the deceased to the area hospital for post-mortem. You are not obliged to use this funeral director's services, you can contact a funeral director of your choosing to help you organise the funeral.
Every funeral is different - this link will give you pointers as to what you may wish to consider when putting the plan in place (Link to List)
Organising a funeral in advance of death (Pre Funeral Planning)
Funeral planning will be a consideration for all of us at some point in time. Pre planning a funeral for ourselves or a loved one can be uncomfortable however it also offers advantages and is something that thousands of us do every year in Ireland
Advantages of Pre Funeral Planning
- Puts you in control and ensures your wishes will be known.
- Eases demands and stresses on others. Often survivors are left wondering if the plan they put in place for a funeral is what the person would have wanted.By pre planning, your wishes will be known and it is easier for those left behind.
- Allows you to set aside funds and relieve those left behind of a financial burden. The most popular way of doing this in to organise a "Pre Paid Funeral Plan" which we will be discussed further below.
- Provides you peace of mind knowing that "your affairs are in order"
- A funeral plan can be as simple as you like or as elaborate as you wish. The important thing is to discuss the plan with the person who will be responsible for arranging the plan either a friend, family member of a professional from the funeral industry.
Putting a Plan in place
There are a number of different ways that you can put a funeral plan in place
1. Talk to a close friend or member of family and tell them your wishes.This is the simplest way to plan a funeral. The person you choose is tasked with putting your wishes in place. You may in certain circumstances wish to put this plan in writing as it will limit interference from others who may not agree with the route you have chosen. We would also recommend that you give the person you have chosen time to consider assisting you. Some people can feel very uncomfortable when put in this type of situation. If they agree to help we recommend that you arrange a time to discuss the plan where you will get no interruptions. It is also worth arranging to meet a second and third time (if required) as all the information you require may not be readily available. Things to consider (link to page)
2. Talk to a professional from the funeral industry.Funeral directors deal with death on a daily basis and therefore have all the information that you will need to plan your funeral. They are experienced in talking about funeral planning which often helps and all of them will work with you to put a plan in place which is practical. They will also give you a breakdown of costs if you require this. If you wish to prepay for your plan most will ask you to put money aside or complete a prepaid funeral plan with an external company. Prepaid funeral plans offered by companies such as Golden Leaves (who offer the only 100% Green Trust) allow you to put aside the money for a funeral now. This money will be invested into a trust which will grow and cover any increases in the cost of a funeral. Things to consider when speaking to a funeral director (link to page)
3. Discuss a plan with a company who provide prepaid funeral plans. To pre pay for a funeral you do not have to go to a funeral director. There are very few funeral directors who handle people's money directly, most put monies received from their customers into a pre paid funeral plans trust which secures the monies going forward. Companies who offer this prepaid service are heavily regulated to ensure that the money is there when it is required. You can go directly to these companies and they will assist you put your costed plan in place. They will speak to people in the funeral industry on your behalf and get the costings for the plan that you wish. Once the plan is arranged it is put in a contract which binds the company to fulfilling your wishes. There are no Irish companies currently offering this service.
The company we would recommend for this service is Golden Leaves who operate the only funeral plan trust which invests the monies received in "Green Investments". To contact Golden Leaves visit their website www.goldenleaves.com Their Irish contact is Kevin O Connor. Make sure you ask about their Green Funeral Plan

Frequently asked questions
Q. Can we purchase a plot directly from The Green Graveyard Company? A. Yes you can purchase directly from us - most people do it this way. You will need to fill out the information (complete the form on the "reserve a space" link on the website) and you can proceed with purchasing the space. Payment options are available upon request
Q. Is there a grant available to help with payment of a funeral bill? A. There used to be a grants available however this is no longer the case. This "Death Grant" was removed in the 2013 budget.
Q. The funeral director we wish to use is not listed on your Green Coffins Ireland website as someone who stocks green coffins - can we still get one of the eco coffins? A. Most funeral directors will get the coffin that you want when you ask for it - there may be a delay as transportation can take time (next day delivery via courier). If for some reason the funeral director refuses to get the coffin that you wish, contact us directly and we will speak to the funeral director.
Q. How do you register a death? A. Information available from the citizens information website http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/death/after_a_death/death_cert.html
Q. How much does an average funeral cost? A. Every funeral director has different charges, every funeral plan is different, and the place and time of death is not always known in advance etc therefore it is difficult to answer this question and this often frustrates people. There seems to be a fear or reluctance among the public to speak to funeral directors in this regard even though most funeral directors encourage people to discuss plans with them. All funeral directors will answer your query directly when given the information that they require to cost the funeral. If you don't like their proposed costings, ask another funeral director for their costs. This is why we recommend that people complete pre funeral plans - it takes the unknown out of the situation.
Q. What is the most environmentally friendly coffin? A. In our opinion it is the Irish made Willow coffin. There are a number of companies now supplying eco friendly coffins in Ireland, most are sourced outside of the country. Using an Irish made willow coffin is not only helping local industry and creating local employment it is also good for the environment. It takes one person 30 + hours to make a willow coffin. If we all chose Irish Willow coffins (there is approximately 40,000 deaths on the island of Ireland each year) we would create upwards on 1100 jobs mostly in rural areas (this would include land owners who would grown the willow).

On Sunday morning, I got my two conference badges – one for Press and the other one as a Speaker. Each of those gives an access to special receptions or meetings with Adobe big shots, and I don't want to miss any of those.
While waiting for the doors to the AIR Lab room to open, I overheard how one of the attendees have whispered to the other, "T-Shirts are over there!". Now I can fulfill my main mission at MAX – bring MAX T-Shirt home for kids. Being an honest person, I explained the t-shirt girl that I have two badges and asked if I can get two t-shirts. She scanned both of my IDs – everything's kosher. But then, the girl realized that making such decisions requires approval, and asked the senior t-shirt distributor for an advice. The older lady said, "No, one person – one t-shirt".
So much for being honest… My bad, I violated the KISS principle – keep it simple stupid. I should've made two approaches to the counter. Learn from my mistakes and don't delegate the process of making important decisions to inexperienced people.
The rest of the business hours I spent in the Adobe AIR 1.5 class taught by Leo Shuman, an excellent instructor who managed to run this hands-on class packed with the information flawlessly. This is even more impressive given the fact that there were fifty people in the room .
AIR adds to Flex has a pretty straightforward API for working with local files and directories. There is a simple mechanism of installing and upgrading AIR applications. If you want, you can digitally sign them too. AIR 1.5 introduces local encryption, which means that you can encrypt, say a user's password and save it in a local storage. HTML component allows you to build a Web browser in several minutes. Flex developers would love to have it too…
Programmatic monitoring of network connection is really easy. This is one of the selling points of AIR. If you are disconnected, save the data in the local database, and when connection is restored, the local data can be automatically synchronized with the remote DBMS…if you have LiveCycle Data Services. For BlazeDS you need to develop your own solution.
The API for working with local SQLLite is easy to understand, but the result set comes back as untyped array of objects with properties corresponding to the table column names. It would be nice to have an ability to specify a strongly typed ActionScript class corresponding to the expected result set.
I can live with this.
But AIR has some other restrictions that don't allow it to be positioned as a full replacement to other platforms for development applications for the desktop. I see some inconsistencies in the design.
On one hand, you can write an AIR application that allows a user with the right credentials to erase files from local OS. On the other hand, AIR doesn't allow execution of the local code. In the previous blog I wrote that AIR won't allow you to invoke an ActiveX required to start Microsoft Outlook. Why?
After the class, I spoke to one of the Adobe engineers about it. He said, that the reason behind these kinds of limitation is a requirement to keep AIR a cross-platform tool.
I don't think so. IMO, Adobe should learn from Java, which is cross-platform, but provide JNI API to allow developers using features specific to a particular OS.
As of today, to support automatic Outlook emails with attachments, I need to write a C++ program that will invoke AIR, and then Outlook, which is not the architecture to die for.
Dear Adobe, please make AIR a full-fledged desktop development platform. You can't be a little pregnant.
Stay tuned.

Burial Hex/Silvester Anfang tour this week!
26 Mar 2008 Chameleon, Nottingham
27 Mar 2008 the Cooler, Bristol
28 Mar 2008 Whitechapel Gallery, London
30 Mar 2008 Fitzherberts, Brighton
They are the remaining dates. I saw em tonight and it was great!
Silvester Anfang don't seem to have a myspace page but if you like Sunburned and those Swedish psych bands like Trad Gras Och Stenar/Parson Sound you might love them! Top stuff. They sound really old and beardy on record but in person they have no beards and look about 16, it's quite bizarre.
Jazzfinger were great tonight too, again well worth a listen. How they manage to channel all those ghostly sounds through two guitars and three amps is totally beyond me.
Highly recommended anyhoo!
Can't say I'm a fan
of the new Burial Hex record. Oh well...
I love the new Burial Hex album!
Definitely one of my favourite purcchases this year.
Ben Nash and Queen of Swords who supported them at the Old Blue Last on Sunday were also amazing.
That Ben Nash record
is mindblowing, however.
The double cd
"Mahabone" is really good stuff, very creepy. What does the new one sound like?

Nadira Hira, an award-winning journalist and writer for Fortune Magazine, gave akeynote presentation at the RockStars@ Work Conference. A Gen Y herself, Nadira has written numerous articles about Generation Y's influence on the workplace.
She told the audience that leadership should really set the tone for the organization, but to keep in mind that young employees are usually a company's best ambassadors.
She provided the following 7 values to engage Generation Y in the workplace:
1. Vision – The marketing and reality of a company really have to match up.
2. Accountability – It's important to articulate your company's vision, and even more important to follow through with it.
3. Consistency – It is imperative to make an entry level professional understand why their tasks make them important. Mentorship programs help Gen Ys and Boomers relate to one another.
4. Flexibility – Understand that Boomers consider work to be anything in between physically arriving at work at 9am and leaving at 5pm, but Ys consider work to be anything they do to further the goals of their position–which can happen at any time of day, such as blogging at 3am.
5. Opportunity – Focus on experiences. The reason Gen Ys hop around from job to job is because they don't wan to have just one job (one experience).
6. Community – Gen Ys have experienced over-supportive parents their entire lives, so they seek this same trait in their work environments. Provide ample feedback and engage Ys in dialogue.
7. Authenticity -This is the most important value. Ys want people to tell them the truth. Consider the example of how Zappos dealt with layoffs last year, being upfront and honest with their employees and involving them in the entire process.
Nadira ended her presentation by stating, "if you are a good company, you have achieved your mission to be rockstars."
In many ways, it's symbolic that Generation Z is named after the last letter in the alphabet because their arrival marks the end of clearly defined roles, traditions, and experiences. After all, Gen Z is coming of age on the heels of what has been referred to as the most disruptive decade of the last century. America has become an increasingly changing and complex place.
For example:
Members of this generation have undoubtedly been shaped by crisis and disruption. This generation will largely be responsible for confronting the aftermath of the Great Recession, high youth unemployment, the effects of climate change, terrorism, energy sustainability, and more. These dark events have undoubtedly made this generation more cautious and pragmatic, but they have also provided this generation with the inspiration to change the world – and their grit will likely allow them to do it.
Coming of age during disruption means that most Zs will be comfortable being the disruptors. While Millennials tend to be collaborative and innovative, this generation tends to be sincere, reflective, thick-skinned, and self-directed, and will likely approach work in much the same way.
In the era following World War II, Boomers (1946-1964) were born and eventually became the wealthiest, most prosperous generation in history. Raised to aspire for the American Dream, this very large generation moved into positions of power and influence, and served as the workforce majority for 34 years.
With the American Dream alive and well, Boomers had no reason to teach their children, mostly Millennials, about competition. Instead, they taught them to focus on academic achievement and to be team players because if everyone works hard, everyone can win.
Enter Generation X (1965-1981). In contrast Boomers, Xers came of age during a time when change and economic and political uncertainty began to take root. They have lived through four recessions, struggled with debt and economic decline most of their lives, and watched the best educated and accomplished generation of all time (Millennials) graduate during the Great Recession and become the most debt-ridden generation in history.
Gen Xers can be defined by their independence and anti-status quo approach to life, and they have taught their Gen Z children to be competitive, believing only the best can win. They have encouraged their children to be realists, finding something they are good at and aggressively pursuing it.
Xers have raised their Zs with an intense focus on competitiveness -- in academics, sports, and other activities. This approach to parenting has many implications, but one stands out in terms of business: Gen Z is likely to lead.
Millennials in the workplace created and aggressively advocated for collaborative work environments. In fact, their aversion to leadership has been so strong, some Millennials sought out companies that boasted boss-free or team-managed workplaces.
In contrast, Zs have been raised with an individualistic, realistic, and competitive nature. They have been taught the skills to successfully defy the norm. This means we're going to see the pendulum shift away from collaborative workplaces towards a widespread demand for, and pursuit of, leadership development.
While Millennials have been criticized for their "delayed adulthood", Gen Z is showing signs of "early adulthood". Educators and parents often describe this generation as being more serious and contemplative about the world. Zs are thinking about their career paths and exposing themselves to career training at an earlier age than Millennials. It's probable that some of this early onset of adulthood is caused by parents, who are pressuring their children to be competitive and successful and to avoid the debt that plagued both the Gen Xers and Millennials.
The numbers from our global research found 46% of Gen Z said they know what career to pursue and 51% have taken a class at school focused on their career interests. Forty percent joined an extracurricular program (team, club) based on their career interests.
Zs have been shaped by the aftermath of the Great Recession. They watched Millennials become debt-ridden and are concerned about falling into the same trap. XYZ University's survey results show 66% of Zs said financial stability is more important than doing work they enjoy, which is the exact opposite of Millennial survey results. Also, 71% of survey-takers have a paying job.
When presented a list of leadership traits, Zs ranked positive and trustworthy the highest. While Millennials and Gen Zs both value trust in a leader, Millennials usually cite collaboration and vision as most important. In other words, Millennials focus on the outcomes leaders inspire, whereas Zs are more likely to consider leaders' attitudes and personalities. To Z, what leaders encourage others to do isn't as valuable as how they make them feel.
Both Millennials and Gen Zs place a very high value on feeling challenged and appreciated in the workplace. However, according to our survey results Millennials rank appreciation slightly higher than challenge, whereas Zs rank feeling challenged slightly higher than appreciation.
Time will tell how Zs go down in history, but we know this generation's influence on history will be unlike any other.

The shared ledger known as the blockchain represents a global consensus of events that have happened up until the latest block, all in the form of Bitcoin transactions.
Boston, MA (PRWEB) June 04, 2015
In the last few years, whenever the topic of Bitcoin arose among financial services industry professionals, it provoked either negative connotations associated with reputed criminal uses such as money laundering or outright dismissal as something only Silicon Valley tech-libertarians would be interested in. In the last year or so, the tone of conversation on the topic has shifted as respected names in the industry like NYSE and Goldman Sachs have revealed not just interest in Bitcoin but plans to invest in the technology.
Bitcoin is innovative because it allows individuals to exchange value across the Internet without the involvement of trusted third parties that may impose costs or delays. The most obvious application of such a technology would be in the payments space, particularly in enabling cross-border remittances. However, Mercator Advisory Group's most recent research report, Understanding Bitcoin: Blockchain Applications Beyond Payments argues that this is just one of the many applications possible with this technology and by no means the most interesting one. The blockchain could fundamentally alter a whole range of services that today require middlemen to maintain centralized databases. These applications range from using bitcoins to trade real-world assets like securities or land titles to structuring "smart contracts" that could pave the way for on-demand services like Airbnb without the need for an Airbnb to act as the middleman.
"The shared ledger known as the blockchain represents a global consensus of events that have happened up until the latest block, all in the form of Bitcoin transactions. These two aspects—immutability and decentralization—give Bitcoin technology immense promise, far beyond simply enabling person-to-person transactions," comments Nikhil Joseph, Emerging Technologies Analyst at the Mercator Advisory Group and author of the report.
Highlights of this report include:
- An easy-to-understand explanation of the cryptography behind Bitcoin and why the technology represents a fundamental innovation
- Breakdown of the key elements in a Bitcoin transaction and the role that "miners" play in the Bitcoin ecosystem
- Analysis of how Bitcoin compares to card networks in facilitating retail payments and where it falls short
- Explanation of ways in which the blockchain could be used to build digital asset exchanges to trade anything from securities to land titles
- Examples of next-generation applications with "smart contract" use cases and the ways records could be secured on the blockchain

The Issue
The term "chain migration" is currently being used to describe a process in which one legal immigrant can generate many new admissions by sponsoring his or her relatives — each of whom, in turn, leads to even more immigrants. President Donald Trump called for an end to "chain migration" in his State of the Union address on January 30, 2018, stating that: "…a single immigrant can bring in virtually unlimited numbers of distant relatives." While immigrants admitted on the basis of family ties constitute the largest share of new permanent residents each year, the potential for an ever-expanding chain is constrained. Under current law, family-based immigrant visas are limited to a small number of categories of close relatives, many of which have numerical limits and are subject to caps by country of origin. As a result, there are long wait times, of years or even decades, for many family-based immigrant visas. Furthermore, family members are subject to extensive background and security checks, and financial support by U.S. residents must be established for them to obtain visas.

|When choosing targets not only do I grab the main domains, but I also try different keywords in my campaign and deep urls. For example, I choose keywords that I think would be in their browser address bar if they were on the buy page, or order page for a product I am promoting. The idea is to target obvious places like Amazon.com and Kindle, but also the not so obvious targets like competitors, (Barnes and Noble, Nook) and buy now pages, ebook stores, etc. By catching the user in the process of researching or buying a Kindle I am able to increase my click through rates and conversions. This also reduced the "annoyance" factor since they are actually looking for "Kindle" information.
As you can see this type of method uses a landing page that kinda looks like a coupon. It seems to work better if it also looks similar to the offer page, so there is a smooth transition from the landing page to the offer page. If my targeting is set properly, and I narrowly focus on people interested in certain products I will begin to see very high click-through rates which could be anywhere between 3-15%. This means I could be paying less than 10 cents a click from PPV traffic. If I chose a good CPA offer that converted well, I could have a killer campaign on my hands.
There are many different ways this method of how to promote CPA offers can be tweaked and tested for success, including:

Last week I had the pleasure of traveling to the twin cities area to photograph a brand new baby girl! Emma Charlotte made these good friends of mine first-time parents and I was so excited they had chosen me to capture these moments for them! I am so happy for Tonya and Jason and I can't wait to watch Emma learn and grow.
Emma really made us work but I think that we got some great shots!
This was my first time traveling to a clients home for a newborn session and I loved it! I think that it is easier on Mom and Dad because they do not have to leave the comfort of their own home and worry about forgetting something. It also gave me a chance to play with natural light -which for newborns I have always used my studio lights. I would love to start offering this for all sessions... not just newborn! If you would like me to come to you to capture some memories just let me know!

International Solidarity with Palestine
Wednesday June 19, 2013
6 pm to 8pm
Café Artère
7000 Avenue du Parc
Metro Parc, or Bus 80
On May 31, 2010, Israel intercepted, boarded and attacked the Gaza Freedom Flotilla in international waters, killing ten and injuring dozens of activists. Comprised of civilian vessels, the Gaza Freedom flotilla had been carrying much-needed food, construction material, and medical equipment to the people of Gaza. In addition, the Flotilla had also aimed to break the brutal Israeli-imposed siege, which suffocates the economy, curtails reconstruction, constricts freedom of movement and affects every facet of day-to-day existence for the 1.5 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
Join Tadamon! for a discussion with Palestine solidarity activist Manuel Tapial to mark the three-year anniversary of the Gaza flotilla massacre. A member of the Cultura, Paz, y Solidaridad network in Spain, Manuel was aboard the Mavi Marmara at the time of the attack. The event will also feature a screening of "Flotilla: An Attack on Solidarity", a short film that highlights footage captured at during the raid and documents the events that unfolded.

Fashionably late to the party, nonetheless here is my Mama Awards Round-Up for you all! Unfortunately due to work I was unable to watch the MAMA's live this year, but caught up with it as soon afterwards as I could.
Where, oh where, to begin? Well the start would be best I guess and the red carpet! I am not a big red carpet watcher TBH (I find them a bit of a snoozefest) but for the MAMA's I soldiered on. I thought the Air Asia sponsorship and 'entry gate' entrance was super cute! Shinayoung, Z.Hera and Moonheejun, in my eyes at least, did a stellar job of hosting the red carpet event!
Seventeen went for the safe option of sensible dinner suits for the event and pulled it off really well.
As I am not normally a red carpet watcher, I was quite surprised to see Seventeen put on a bit of a red carpet performance for us, but it certainly brightened up my red carpet experience!
Next up to grace the red carpet were Monsta X whose matching, but different, red and black ensembles did the job of making sure they group were nice and identifiable. I am still not sure how I feel about the way boy and girl groups do this. Partly I think there is a very 'stage outfit' kind of look to it and partly I think the red carpet and the awards are basically just a different type of stage for these artists, so it makes perfect sense.
Got7 appeared next, with a bit less build up and in quite the variety of states of dress, from ripped jeans to a 3 piece suit!
The Koxx were bright and flamboyant in their coloured suits – even going so far as to have some matching hair going on!
Actor Ha Seok Jin, of D-Day, made his entrance alone, looking dashing in a dinner suit!
Actors Lee Ki Woo (Flower Grandpa Investigation Unit) and Stephanie Lee (Yong Pal) arrived together and Stephanie's dress was STUNNING. I cannot get over how that material and that cut manages to look good on her. She makes me feel even more of a potato than normal!
Superstar K singers Kevin Oh and Cheon Dan Bi made an entrance with Kevin in very shiny dinner suit and Dan Bi perfectly pulling off a more daytime style.
More actors graced us with their style as Seo Kang Jun (Cunning Single Lady) and Kim So Eun (Scholar Who Walks The Night) arrived in classic evening dress.
Hip Hop got some representation in the form of Zion.T and Crush, whose swaggers on the red carpet were really befitting of their public image.
Hong Soo Ah (Billion Dollar Heir) made her entrance in one of my least favourite outfits of the evening. For me, this dress had a beautiful silhouette but then looked like someone had just glued everything they could find to it!
Again staying traditional, were Yeo Jin Goo (Orange Marmalade) and Kim So Hyun (The Girl Who Sees Smells). I wasn't a huge fan of Kim So Hyun's dress either, without the weird layered peplum part I think it would have been gorgeous!
Taeyeon's dress was gorgeous. I love the colour, material and shape and her hair and make-up were on point too. This girl's looks stole the red carpet!
iKon arrived in remarkably subdued clothing compared to what I was expecting. Unlike the actors however, iKon avoided an evening wear look and instead opted for casual wear mixed with formal wear elements.
Just when I was starting to get bored of the red carpet, we were given another red carpet special stage – this time from Monsta X. This ultimately made their choice of outfits make even more sense to me!
Next to tread the carpet was Kim Kang Woo (Missing Noir M) and it looks like satin materials and the colour red are going to be a feature of this red carpet.
Elena Torres and Soohyun were visions in red, although neither dress was one I would have chosen, particularly not Soohyun's which was particularly unflattering.
San.E made a typically excitable entrance, joining the ranks of artists who had opted to go casual for the event!
BTS made their entrance to scores of fangirl screams. Much like iKon, they had opted for a causal/formal wear compromise and were more muted in their style than we are used to seeing them. They even gifted fans with a little bit of English!
UEE and Lee Sang Yun's entrance had me wondering if there was some law that meant UEE must be showing some thigh at all times! Girl looks good though!
F(x) arrived (sans Victoria who is busy with her solo schedule) and were another act sporting something that looked rather more like a stage outfit than red carpet wear.
A rather more subdued special stage form Vivian Koo followed. This one did not break up the monotony so well for me!
Actors Yoo Yeon Seok (Reply 1994) and Son Ho Jun (Youth Over Flowers) made their entrance next and followed the trend amongst the actors of a more traditional evening look.
Actress Koasung went against the acting pattern and sported a more dress-down look, partnered with cute ankle boots and a blazer.
Jessi blew my mind when she walked out – I don't think I have ever seen her look so glamorous.
Choi Ja Hyun (The Boundary) was next up to talk to the hosts and was so elegant in how she carried herself.
Oooh another special red carpet stage and this time it is Got7!
I liked Hyuna's dress but was not a fan of the colour. Of course that may just have been the way it came across on-screen and credit to her for wearing something different to the other attendees. I do want her boots though.
Tiffany and Seohyun arrived next and have opted for short dresses, unlike their group mate Taeyeon. These girls always look stunning and this was no exception.
Park Bo Young and Lee Kwangsoo cut a dashing figure on the carpet, albeit with Bo Young looking like a tiny little doll!
Han Chae Young continues to be so incredibly beautiful it ruins my focus.
Another icon graced the red carpet stage in the form of actress Park Shin Hye.
SHINee arrived, I can only assume, straight from a sale in a coat shop!
Han Hyo Joo's dress was something a little different and I am still deciding if I like it.
The fangirls got to scream again when EXO arrived sporting a variety of winter colours. During the red carpet there was an SNS competition for best Asian style which EXO then picked up. Honestly I think EXO won this due to the strength of their fandom rather than the actual style and I thought there were a LOT of better outfits on the night. Not that EXO's was bad, just not the best!
Konghyojin beautifully showed us how simplicity can be so elegant with her little black dress!
Unsurprisingly, JYP was rocking the classic dinner suit with a flash of personality in his choice of bow tie.
Model-actor Lee Jung Jae was a sharp figure opting for a stand-out white dinner suit.

Jacobi's four-square theorem
Jacobi's four-square theorem gives a formula for the number of ways that a given positive integer n can be represented as the sum of four squares.
The theorem was proved in 1834 by Carl Gustav Jakob Jacobi.
Two representations are considered different if their terms are in different order or if the integer being squared (not just the square) is different; to illustrate, these are three of the eight different ways to represent 1:
The number of ways to represent n as the sum of four squares is eight times the sum of the divisors of n if n is odd and 24 times the sum of the odd divisors of n if n is even (see divisor function), i.e.
Equivalently, it is eight times the sum of all its divisors which are not divisible by 4, i.e.
We may also write this as
where the second term is to be taken as zero if n is not divisible by 4. In particular, for a prime number p we have the explicit formula r4(p) = 8(p + 1).[1]
Some values of r4(n) occur infinitely often as r4(n) = r4(2mn) whenever n is even. The values of r4(n)/n can be arbitrarily large: indeed, r4(n)/n is infinitely often larger than 8√log n.[1]
The theorem can be proved by elementary means starting with the Jacobi triple product.[2]
The proof shows that the Theta series for the lattice Z4 is a modular form of a certain level, and hence equals a linear combination of Eisenstein series.
