The Matrix USB prototype board provides an easy-to-use solution for rapid prototyping of microcontroller applications and is ideal for those learning to program microcontrollers for the first time. It has a Microchip PIC18F24K50 high-performance 8-bit processor which is programmed with a bootloader that allows you to download programs directly from a PC and execute them seamlessly.
The bootloader is open-source, so other USB-programmable projects can be based on it. Files can be sent to the chip using the free mLoader utility. The board also is compatible with Flowcode 6.
Two single-in-line headers provide wiring holes to connect the prototyping area to the 19 input/output pins of the microcontroller. You can connect these to the prototyping area using wire or micro leads. The solderless prototyping area consists of 17 rows of holes that are split into two sets of five interconnected holes per row. Circuits are completed by placing additional electronic components into the interconnected proto area holes.
The board is powered normally at 5V from a standard USB socket or a USB hub. The bootloader for the on-board PICmicro chip is based on open-source Microchip code. The board includes a resettable fuse and other components which offer protection for the board and your PC's USB circuitry, though microcontroller pins are not protected, so care must be taken not to exceed the allowable levels. A complete step-by-step course in developing simple microcontroller circuits is available online. A USB cable is not included.

Children's Health: Constipation
Constipation is a very common problem among kids. A child is considered constipated when he or she has fewer than three bowel movements in a week; has difficulty having a bowel movement; or when the stools are hard, dry, and unusually large.
Constipation usually isn't a cause for concern — it's preventable and most cases can be remedied with healthy eating and exercise habits.
Causes of Constipation
Most of the time, constipation is due to a diet that doesn't include enough water and dietary fiber, which both help the bowels move properly. Kids who eat a typical fast-food diet — rich in fats (burgers, fries, milkshakes) and processed sugars (candy, cookies, sugary soft drinks) — may find that they're constipated more often.
Sometimes, medications like antidepressants and medications used to treat iron deficiencies can lead to constipation. In babies, constipation can occur as they transition from breast milk to baby formula, or from baby food to solid food.
Keep in mind that some kids tend to avoid going to the bathroom, even when they really have the urge to go. They might ignore internal urges because they don't want to stop playing a fun game, use a restroom away from home, or have to ask an adult to be excused to go to the bathroom. When they ignore the urge to go, it's harder to go later on.
Stress can also lead to constipation. Kids can get constipated when they're anxious about something, like starting at a new school or problems at home. Research has shown that emotional upsets can affect how well the gut functions and can cause constipation, as well as other conditions, like diarrhea.
Some kids get constipated because of a condition called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which can occur when they're stressed or eat certain trigger foods, which often are fatty or spicy. A child with IBS may have either constipation or diarrhea, as well as stomach pain and gas.
In rare cases, constipation is a sign of other medical illnesses, so keep your doctor informed if your child continues to have problems, or if the constipation lasts for 2 to 3 weeks.
Symptoms of Constipation
Keep in mind that different kids have different bathroom habits. A child who doesn't have a bowel movement every day isn't necessarily constipated. One child might go three times a day, while another might go once every 3 days. Usually a child is constipated when he or she is going less than usual.
Your child might also complain of feeling full or bloated, or say that it hurts to poop, that he or she has to strain to poop, or that there's a little blood on the toilet paper.
Dealing With Constipation
You can take the following steps to prevent and treat constipation:
Give your child more fluids. Drinking enough water and other liquids helps stools move more easily through the intestines. The amount of fluids kids need will vary according to weight and age. But most school-age children need 3 to 4 glasses of water each day. If your infant is constipated during the transition from breast milk or into solid foods, try serving just a few ounces of prune juice each day. If the constipation persists or is causing your child distress, it may be due to a health problem, so call your doctor.
Serve more fiber. Foods that are high in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain bread, can help prevent constipation. Fiber can't be digested, so it helps clean out the intestines by moving the bowels along, while a diet full of fatty, sugary, or starchy foods can slow the bowels down. Fiber doesn't have to be a turn-off for kids: Try apples, oatmeal, oranges, bananas, baked potatoes, and popcorn.
Make sure kids get enough exercise. Physical activity nudges the bowels into action, so encourage your kids to get plenty of exercise. It can be as simple as playing catch, riding bikes, or shooting a few hoops.
Develop a regular meal schedule. Since eating is a natural stimulant for the bowels, regular meals may help kids develop routine bowel habits. If necessary, schedule breakfast a little earlier to give your child a chance for a relaxed visit to the bathroom before school.
Get kids into the habit of going. Try having a child who fights the urge to go to the bathroom sit on the toilet for at least 10 minutes at about the same time each day, preferably after a meal.
Talk with the doctor before giving your child any kind of over-the-counter medication for constipation.
In most cases, these small changes can go a long way toward helping your child feel better and getting the bowels moving the way they should.

David Olliver joined the Cobra staff in the spring of 2013 as the head men's lacrosse coach. Olliver came from Wingate University, where he had been an assistant coach since December 2008.
Olliver played four years for the Wingate Bulldogs, anchoring one of the top defenses in the conference. He won the John R. Dodd Coaches Award during his senior year. Olliver holds a bachelor's degree in parks and recreation administration from Wingate.
The Cobras won five games in the 2016 season, including a 4-4 mark in South Atlantic Conference play. For the third-consecutive season, he led the Navy and Gold to the SAC Championship Tournament. Mike Martiello, Josh Smith and Shane Wilson were all named to the preseason All-SAC team, while Martiello, Smith, Wilson and Patrick Timothee were named to the regular season All-SAC team.
2015 was a historic season for coach Olliver and the Coker men's lacrosse team. The Cobras won a program-high nine games, seven of which came in South Atlantic Conference play. The season was capped off by the Cobras winning a share of the SAC regular season title and advancing to the SAC tournament semifinals. Olliver was named SAC coach of the year and had five players named to the All-SAC team. Senior Dylan Marks was named SAC men's lacrosse Scholar Athlete of the Year and the Capital One Academic All-District At-Large team.
In his first full-season as head coach Olliver, the 2014 Coker men's lacrosse team broke a number of records. The team won a program record six games, four of which came in the highly competitive SAC, and broke a combined eight single-game and single-season team records. Along with the team's success, the quintet of Andy Campos, Ryan Maurer, Tim Ryan, Mike Martiello and Shane Wilson all combined to tie or break seven single-game and single-season individual records. The Navy and Yellow's season was highlighted by a late season two-game winning streak that helped secure the No. 4 seed in the inaugural Food Lion SAC Men's Lacrosse Championship.
Four Cobras were tabbed as all-conference selections. Leading the way was sophomore Mike Martiello, who was named a second-team selection, while junior Dylan Marks and seniors Ryan Maurer and Andy Campos were all named honorable mentions.
A mid-season replacement, Olliver took over on March 8 and the Cobras went 4-4 after his arrival, finishing the season 5-10 overall. Midfielder Keith LaClair earned second team all-conference honors.


text: Nenani Sichone was an orphan at 7. Now he is a Regis graduate on his way to great things. Nenani Sichone has been exceeding expectations his entire life. Nenani was born in Zambia and lost his mother, a human rights lawyer, when he was 7 years old. As a result, he and his younger brother moved into an orphanage. The nuns there had a connection to the local Jesuit high school and Nenani was able to enroll. His first taste of Jesuit education was, as he puts it, life changing. "Jesuit education defines who you become," said Nenani. His experience there pushed him to apply to an International Baccalaureate (IB) program in the United Kingdom. He got a scholarship to attend. At the same time, a Colorado family adopted his brother and Nenani met them during a school break. The father from the family was a Regis graduate, and Nenani, who was hoping to apply to colleges in the United States after his IB program, was impressed by what he heard about the University. He was even more impressed by his experience at Regis. As a double major in politics and economics and a member of the Honors Program, Nenani feels he was prepared to succeed. "Regis has given me an elite education. I am convinced it is as good as anywhere in the world," he said. "But more than that, at Regis you learn that education is not just about you. It's about others. What will you do with your learning to impact others?" Nenani already has an answer to that question. His next move is a graduate degree at the prestigious Josef Korbel School of International Studies, where he will study trade sanctions. His ultimate goal is to follow in his mother's footsteps, becoming a lawyer and working for justice in his home country of Zambia. See how a Jesuit education can help you reach your goals.

Promises to keep
Prejudice is an ugly thing. After decades of struggle to promote equality in these United States of America, we obviously have a more just society than the one we inherited from previous generations. But there is still plenty to be accomplished on the road to equality, despite unmistakable progress.
Prohibitions that would be unthinkable today were the law of the land not too long ago. Women were not allowed to vote in this country until the 19th Amendment to the Constitution became law in 1920. Forty years later the Voting Rights Act of 1965 extended that fundamental right to all citizens no matter the color of their skin or the state where they happened to live. In some states, men and women of different races were prohibited from marrying by laws that remained on the books until 1967.
Many of us look back on those laws with detachment as if that long-ago society has nothing to do with us. Future generations will no doubt take refuge in the same suspension of disbelief at the discrimination against gays and lesbians that is still deemed acceptable in some sectors of American society today. One day, that ugly prejudice will take its place in the dustbin of history alongside the other "unthinkable" prohibitions listed above. It is not a question of if but when.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., assassinated in 1968, was a man of his time; if he were alive today, Dr. King would be 83 years old – but the truths he embodied are timeless. He said, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."
Justice demands equal treatment under the law regardless of your age, gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual preference, and as Dr. King so accurately described, the arc is bending toward justice. The military policy called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has been scrapped by President Obama as surely as President Truman integrated the Army with the stroke of a pen in 1948.
Using any religion to enforce bigotry is unacceptable. A brochure on the door of the Episcopal Chaplain's office at Stanford University reads, "What did Jesus say about homosexuality?" When the brochure is opened the inside is completely blank.That is why the decision by Principal Thomas Amons to eliminate the adult cosmetology class at BISD's Taylor Career Center rather than admit a student he thought was gay is so disturbing and just plain wrong. It is impossible to believe this bigoted decision will stand, and we believe Dr. Timothy Chargois, the new BISD superintendent, will step in and correct this injustice immediately.
If they want to keep Amons around after this shocking error in judgment, they can toss him a fig leaf and let him say it was all a misunderstanding. But Dr. Chargois must make clear to him and other district employees that such ugliness will not be tolerated in the district.
The fight to end prejudice continues and we all have promises to keep – and miles to go before we sleep.

WikiTribune asked the community what they wanted to know from Sadiq Khan, Mayor of London. You asked, he answered. [Note: the below is unedited answers for full context, spelling or grammatical errors are directly from the original text.]
Does London have anything to teach American cities about inclusiveness and diversity?
London is the greatest city in the world, not just because of our social, cultural and economic might, but because we view our diversity as one of our greatest strengths. Here in London you can be whoever you want to be. We are proud that we are one the most diverse cities in the world, with over 300 languages spoken every day, and we are committed to doing everything we can to show that London is open to all.
I believe strongly that where you come from should have no bearing on what you can achieve. It's important that at City Hall we lead by example, and that's why I'm proud that my team of deputy mayors are representative of our city. It's also why I have published our first-ever ethnicity pay audit and ensured that all recruitment is completely anonymised.
There is no doubt that our communities are changing rapidly but, importantly, we have been working hard to break down barriers and bring Londoners together. I appointed London's first-ever Deputy Mayor for Social Integration, Social Mobility and Community Engagement and developed a ground-breaking strategy to promote social integration and forge strong relationships across our diverse communities. Together we are taking action to make sure everyone believes they have a stake in our great city.
I am lucky to have met with Mayors from many American cities and Im sure it is fair to say that we have all learnt something new from each other.
I particularly enjoyed attending the US Conference of Mayors when I attended the SXSW festival in Austin last year where inclusivity and diversity, particularly in the tech sector, were amongst the topics we discussed.
How can the news media do a better job of bridging the urban rural political divide?
London is one of the media capitals of the world with all the UK's major broadcasters and newspapers based here. We are also fortunate to have a vibrant local press culture too.
However, in many areas outside the capital newsrooms have been badly affected by cutbacks and many local papers have been forced to close or reduce production. This has a negative knock-on effect for local democracy.
We are now seeing some media organisations taking positive moves to redress this imbalance. The BBC have relocated a significant part of their national news output to MediaCityUK in Salford, whilst Channel 4 recently announced that it will be setting up a new headquarters in Leeds, alongside creative hubs in Bristol and Glasgow. The BBC is also funding 150 Local Democracy Reporters – working here in London and across the country – who together have filed more than 30,000 stories in their first year.
How do you feel we get the Information Age back on track in the era of such disinformation?
I expressed my concerns about responsibility of the tech sector and social media platforms at SXSW last year. The main thrust of my speech was that although tech companies have brought huge benefits to society, they have also had a significant negative impact – fuelling fake news, extremism and online abuse among other issues.
Platforms, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have bought huge benefits to society. They've made it easier for us to stay in touch with those we love, meet like-minded people, and have easier access to information we want.
But, understandably, there are growing concerns about some of the ways the biggest companies on the planet have impacted our lives and the overall wellbeing of our societies.
In some cases, these new platforms have been used to exacerbate, fuel, and deepen the divisions within our communities. The impact is and continues to be profound and should worry democracies around the world.
In my SXSW speech, I was clear that some of the biggest tech companies must take greater responsibility for the impact they're having on the world. No business or industry should ever consider itself above the local rules, or laws set by democratic nations
Are you actively trying to influence real estate developments in London? You made a declaration with Barcelona's mayor titled 'City properties should be homes for people first – not investments' and yet recently we see the design of the Tulip Tower erecting in London skyline.
Since taking office, I have made tackling the housing crisis a top priority, faced with the previous Mayor's horrendous legacy of a city full of luxury flats and zero social homes in the pipeline.
That's why I am focusing resolutely on building new council, social rented, and other genuinely affordable homes. Last year, I broke records by starting more social rented homes than the rest of England put together, and in October I announced £1bn funding to increase council homebuilding in the capital five-fold.
By incentivising developers with fast-track planning permission, I'm also helping London to remain an attractive development opportunity whilst ensuring that a good proportion of their homes are genuinely affordable for Londoners.
Plans for the 'Tulip Tower' you mention are still at an early stage, and they haven't yet come to me for a planning decision. Although the proposal doesn't include plans for housing, I am clear that all plans for new homes must include more social rented and other genuinely affordable homes – not just luxury apartments for investors.
How are you (Sadiq Khan) supporting the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) to rid London of knife crime?
The causes of violent crime are extremely complex, but there is no doubt it has been made far worse by huge government cuts to the police and youth services. London has already lost 3,000 police officers and 3,000 Police Community Support Officers because of huge government cuts and it's about time ministers show they're taking violent crime seriously by reversing the £1bn of cuts to the Met.
Despite Government cuts I'm doing all I can to tackle violent crime. That is why I have invested in the Metropolitan Police's Violent Crime Taskforce, which is making thousands of arrests and taking hundreds of knives and dangerous weapons off our streets.
I am also leading a long-term public health approach to tackling the extremely complex causes of crime – which will challenge the perception that it's safe to carry a knife and better understand where positive interventions can be made – and I have invested £45m of funding for positive opportunities for young people. Giving young Londoners something meaningful to get engaged with through sports, culture and other activities is essential in helping them make the right choices and ensuring they do not end up on the wrong path.
London has reduced its carbon emissions by 39 percent since 2000. Meanwhile, many of the world's major cities have increased emissions. How can London be a leader and help the rest of the world's cities to reduce emissions?
I'm proud of the positive steps we continue to take as a city to reduce our carbon emissions but I'm under no illusions that so much more needs to be done to tackle London's toxic air and the climate emergency we are in. I've introduced a series of measures to tackle climate change– from investing £500m in low carbon technologies to divesting pension funds from fossil fuels and setting out a detailed plan of how London can get to zero carbon by 2050 and what more needs to be done by national government to get there,
But this issue goes far beyond the capital and requires the co-operation of cities and governments around the world to ensure that our children and grandchildren do not face a blighted future. Other global cities frequently look to London for leadership on these issues and I am working with them on a new Divest/Invest Forum which I launched with Mayor De Blasio of New York in September. I am co-chairing with Bengalaru the C40 Air Quality network to work with other cities around the world to share best practice on how to tackle this important issue.
But I can only work within the confines of the powers devolved to me by government so my message to ministers is: stop dragging your feet and gambling with our future and give London and cities across the UK the real powers and funding needed to protect our future generations.
London still has illegally high levels of Nitrogen Dioxide, what are you doing to further reduce emissions in the city?
London's air is so toxic it damages children's lung growth, causes thousands of premature deaths and increases the risk of asthma and dementia. We know that dirty vehicles are responsible for half of our NOx air pollution so I have been made it my mission to deliver hard-hitting, urgently needed policies to tackle vehicle emissions. These include cleaning up the bus fleet and introducing the world's first Ultra Low Emission Zone, 24 hours, seven days a week in central London from next April.
However, I can't do this alone. We all need to play a part in cleaning up our toxic air, whether that be individual decisions to walk or cycle to work or school, London's taxi drivers switching to cleaner electric taxis or the Government having the courage and foresight to introduce a new Clean Air Act that is fit for purpose in the 21st Century.
Do you support another Brexit vote? Furthermore, how can Greater London stay afloat and remain a formidable site for international investment following a "hard" Brexit?
There's no doubt we face some challenging and uncertain times ahead for London, but I'm getting the message out to the world that we remain optimistic about our future. Despite Brexit, London will still be one of the most exciting, entrepreneurial, international, innovative and outward-looking cities in the world – a city still bursting with creativity and opportunity.
This is what my London is Open campaign is all about – it's about saying loud and clear that that London is open: open for business, open for new investment and open for new talent.
With so much at stake, and the devastating consequences that a bad Brexit deal or a no-deal Brexit would have on jobs, growth, public safety, food supply and living standards, the Prime Minister must immediately withdraw Article 50.
In the absence of a General Election, withdrawing Article 50 would allow time for a public vote to be held so the country can decide what course it wants to take.

Blue Bell expanding into Vegas due to popular demand
Soon, Texans in Las Vegas will be able to drown their gambling-loss sorrows with a taste of home. Blue Bell Ice Cream has unveiled plans for a distribution center near the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in Nevada.
Blue Bell will begin being sold in Las Vegas after March 3, when the operation opens for business. According to Blue Bell reps, they will be offering all the usual flavors to Las Vegans.
Why Nevada?
Harold Gilson, regional manager for Blue Bell, says that the company received many requests from consumers and grocery store managers to bring the brand to Nevada.
"We look at consumer demand and grocer relations to make the decision of where to go next," Noska said.
The company's 12,000 square-foot facility will service not only Vegas, but Pahrump, Mesquite, and nearby locales. The company says it will be bringing in 14 jobs to the area, manning its office space, warehouse operations, and loading docks.
Blue Bell's company expansion happens slower because of their insular delivery system. Only Blue Bell employees handle Blue Bell products until it reaches the customer hands.
As of now, there are no plans for Vegas-themed flavors, so Poker Chip N' Mint and Red Velvet Roulette will need to stay in our dreams.
Kaysie Noska, a public relations and market specialist with the Brenham-based ice cream company said that they are excited to branch into Nevada, which will be the 23rd state that Blue Bell has entered.
That means plenty of people were vocal about seeing Crunch Cones and Homemade Vanilla out in the high desert.

Welcome to another of the Christmas book promotions and today the first post for the poetry books on the shelves of the cafe and bookstore. I love poetry collections and short stories as they are something you can dip into at any time of day to distract you from life and problems or to revitalise the spirit.
And the first poet is Ritu Bhathal with her collection Poetic Rituals. I met Ritu at the Bloggers Bash in 2017 and it is no surprise that her Twitter handle is @PhantomGiggler and she will brighten your day and anyone you gift her poetry. She is also an award winning blogger at But I Smile Anyway
Delve into a book of verse exploring different topics and different genres, all with a RITUal twist.
A collection of poetry drawing on the experiences of the writer, ranging from matters of the heart, love for the family, situations in life and some verses written with a humorous twist.
One of the reviews for the collection
Poetic Rituals' by Ritu Bhathal is an amalgamation of free verse, haiku and tanka. First section is packed with the emotions of a new mother; pride and affection flow freely through her verse but a realistic touch of worry, of angst and frustration add more charm to her poems. Every mother would 'like to flee' at some point when she feels that her kids are 'devils in disguise!' 'Twelve Days Of Holidays' is cute rendition of how mothers handle their little monsters during the holidays.
Ritu's poetry matures as the book proceeds into the third segment, dwelling on love, life and its realities… trying to answer some pertinent questions like… "Head or heart, to whom do I bow?" Section four would bring a smile on your lips as you read
'Brow-terpillars' and 'Oh My Bag,' reminding you of similar groans that the poet shares about packing and trying to fit in all those things in one bag and later realize we didn't even use. It is amazing how she could write a poem about chores like ironing, dieting, connecting a printer to Mac!

About Versions of the Self
Imagine a shift to the way you see the world that arises through poetic narration. Imagine the world, at its base level, is a collection of selves. These selves collide, disperse, intermingle, and share themselves in lines of free verse. Such is the premise of Versions of the Self, poetry that assumes multiple types of selves exist and relate in ways that alter them. Each of the eight chapters looks at a different type of self, including the singular "I" and romantic interactions. These unique 80 poems definitely color themselves outside of the lines.
One of the reviews for Versions of the Self
All my life I thought that my emotional reliance on someone was a foregone conclusion, and that my self had to connect with another's to inject coherence into my life's abstract manuscript. In several unique ways in Versions of the Self, Christy Birmingham informs that the self can last 'brutally independent' longer without such reliance or even when it's relying on someone. In "Gliding Under Water," she writes, "I am gliding under the waters and my vision is remarkably clear while my body washes with liquids that contain no mixture of you."
Christy has succinctly touched on several emotions; that we don't pause and ponder enough to rationalize. We sense myriad versions of several people, and the only way we could connect with their selves is if it's a soul-led journey from us, without a destination in mind, in which case, no car had driven my expectations to them. Shake hands, therefore, seeking nothing but simplicity.
"And now it seems he takes the last space in my life, outside of my heart's walls, and miles from my reality" – she says in "The Capital." How fierce this self-representation is, so unyielding, that it draws its strength from the innate soul-gem.
Since I'm close to my mother – everyone is and must be – these lines from "As We Walk Together" aimed for my heartstrings: "I feel you take my hand as we walk forward, together, and we inhale the scents that disclose a recent rainfall has occurred." It reminded me of my childhood and those precious moments I so wish to return to, over and again. But, this heartwarming book wants me to return to my self, even away from the self that gave me birth because my self is the primary cure for all my worries, like the primary network that doesn't charge out of pocket. My soul is my self and, therefore, always covered.
This is a must-have book for anyone who wants to go beyond the mundane 'identify yourself' literature. Sans going beyond, we are nothing but a body without life.

The next poet is Natalie Ducey who has a wonderful way with words, creating heartfelt and inspiring poetry. You can find out more about her About Natalie Ducey and on Twitter at @NatalieDucey
The Heart's Lullaby is a candid portrayal of love in all its splendor and pain. Love, in its purest form, is tranquil and soothes the soul. But love, as is life, can sometimes be cruel and unjust with its paths of uncertainty and forced goodbyes. In essence, it is a journey of self-discovery. A continuous journey of becoming. Often, it becomes a delicate dance of holding on and letting go.
We linger in memories of ill-fated love; our minds can easily soil them, and our hearts can effortlessly polish them to perfection, altering their resemblance entirely. We can anchor ourselves to yesterday by zealous choice or solemn grief. So easily, we can become obsessed with what "might have been" and miss the beauty that lies before us. Our minds craft spectacular moments that will never be realized. Why? Is it self-indulgence, or are they necessary companions for our soul's survival?
Love, its force so formidable, transcends time, distance, and even death. Eternal love is the epitome of its grandeur.
To feel the exquisite, majestic splendor of love is the greatest gift we can give or receive. To have another see the unique beauty in our imperfections, that will protect us and elevate us without greed or envy, a soul willing and proud to walk this journey of life with us and share in its joys and sorrows … this is love, a gift unmeasurable and unmatched by earthly possessions.
But two souls must be willing. Therein lies the intricate complexities of the heart. And in the end, we must never forget … love, as is life, is a continuous journey of becoming.
One of the reviews for the collection
The Heart's Lullaby by Natalie Ducey is a beautiful book of poetry that describes the fragility as well as the strength of the human heart. The book is separated into four parts. Embers of Love focuses on the bittersweet aspect of heartbreak, the pain of saying goodbye to someone you care about. Eternal Love illustrates the beauty of love lasting forever, even after death. The Agony of Holding On & The Angst of Letting Go is about falling out of love, and that despite everything you do to hold onto that person, sometimes it's better to let go. Finally, The Journey of Becoming is about being comfortable with yourself, and knowing that both the heart and the mind need to work together to bring peace and comfort. Whether it be through pain, loss, or peace, Ducey shows us that love can comfort us in our time of need, and show us how human we really are.
The world is a funny place. Sometimes, we do so much to protect ourselves to the point where we simply forget what it means to laugh or cry, or to even love our own selves again. This collection does, in fact, remind me of a lullaby you would sing to a small child at night, or even to a grown-up in need for comforting. For example, one of my most favorite poems in this collection comes from Eternal Love, where the narrator promises to love their beloved for all time in the memories of their past, even if they're gone. It's wonderful, because oftentimes we worry about if we're missed, if we're better off gone. It's a question that's haunted many people, but this poem answers it easily. In my mind, it shouldn't be an easy question, but nevertheless, I'm shocked at how easy it is. It's nostalgically iridescent, to say the least.
Ducey provides a soothing, comforting atmosphere interlaced within her poetry. From the pain of losing a loved one, to the relief of finally finding yourself in the end, this book encourages those suffering from heartbreak, and mesmerizes others just by its messages of hope alone. As such, I would recommend it to fans of Feathers, Shades, Shadows and a Few Raindrops by Mandar Naik, and Catching a Dream by J.R. McRae.

One of the reviews for the collection.
I purchased a copy of the Night Owl Poetry for myself to read in the morning time when I am reading on the sofa while also enjoying drinking my vanilla latte. I find that all of the poems inside this book were wonderfully written and the poems focus towards the young adults to adult readers. She has a variety of poetry in her book, but my favorites are "Believe," "Daddy's Little Girl," and "The Cherry Tree Haiku." Those poems stood out the most to me and were the most meaningful to me in my life right now. Thank you for writing such a lovely poetry book and I will be sure to share this with others.

[i]f you're controlling a scarce resource, like the prime-time broadcast schedule, you have to be discriminating. There are real costs associated with those half-hour chunks of network time, and the penalty for failing to reach tens of millions of viewers with them is calculated in red ink and lost careers. No wonder TV executives fall back on sitcom formulas and celebrities—they're safe bets in an expensive game.
But if you're tapping into an abundant resource, you can afford to take chances, since the cost of failure is so low. Nobody gets fired when your YouTube video is viewed only by your mom.
Anderson's point is that when resources--in this case, willing content producers with cheap production tools--are abundant, we need to rethink how we structure, market, and make money off of content.
The point, though linked to media marketing models, might easily be applied to the domain of education. The following graphic accompanies Anderson's piece:
Clearly, the abundance model as presented here aligns with the spirit of participatory culture, at its heart an egalitarian, anti-hierarchical movement wherein cultural decisions become crowdsourced. Here's where many school policies confuse scarcity and abundance: They block participatory media (including YouTube, many social networking sites, and sometimes Google and Wikipedia) and evaluate students based on their ability to repeat back to the teacher (or testmaker) the big ideas of the class. Knowledge, in this case, is treated as a scarce resource, when in a participatory culture knowledge is almost the most abundant thing we have.
What would it look like to apply an abundance model to the classroom? What new roles can and should teachers and students play in an egalitarian classrom in which "everything is permitted unless it is forbidden"? What's the difference, practically speaking, between a "command and control" classroom and a class without that type of control?
Important questions to chew on. More soon.

Our Best Bites From the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival
In just its third year, the Atlanta Food & Wine Festival has quickly blossomed into one of the premier events of its kind. That's not just a slick PR spin; it's a sentiment that was echoed by almost every chef we talked to at this year's blowout over a (mostly) steamy weekend in Midtown.
While fancy sit-down meals and over 100 hands-on instructional classes helped round out this year's agenda, three consecutive afternoons of Tasting Tents were far and away the major draw for hungry festival-goers, with culinary talent from 12 Southern states handing out samples of everything imaginable, along with a few noshes we'd never ever dreamed of.
With over 250 bites and beverages to choose from, we weren't able to taste everything, despite our best efforts. But strolling among the fifteen or so clearly defined "food trails," chatting with the region's best chefs and cooks, and engaging in that oh-so-Southern tradition of discreetly eavesdropping on your neighbor's conversations, we not only got a sense of where honest, classic Southern cuisine comes from, but where it's headed, too.
Click through the slideshow for a supersized sampling of what we saw, who we ran into, and the very best of what we ate at the 2013 Atlanta Food & Wine Festival.
About the Author: Todd Brock lives the glamorous life of a stay-at-home freelance writer in the suburbs of Atlanta. Besides being paid to eat cheeseburgers for AHT, pizzas for Slice, and desserts for Sweets, he's written and produced over 1,000 hours of television and penned Building Chicken Coops for Dummies. When he grows up, he wants to be either the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys or the drummer for The Gaslight Anthem. Or both.

It's hard to remember life without ATMs. In Hong Kong, we can transfer funds, pay our utility bills and even settle tax demand-notes using an ATM. And they even dispense cash.
We're so used to these handy machines that we may not always view them as security risks. But we should. As security gurus like Bruce Schneier point out, we make security decisions all the time--some conscious, some subconscious.
It's time to put your ATM security strategy into your conscious personal security perimeter, if it's not there already. You may know that ATMs can be fitted with "skimmers": snap-on devices that include card readers and pinhole cameras. The crooks want to steal your account number and watch you type in your PIN, then clone your card for nefarious purposes.
According to a recent story in the South China Morning Post, illegal skimming equipment is believed to have been installed on at least 10 Hong Kong ATMs since September. From October to December 2012, 18 people reported losing money--14 in December alone.
Mainland authorities have been contacted because illegal withdrawals using fake cards and the stolen data were made across the border, according to the SCMP.
ATM cards are being replaced with ones bearing an embedded microchip for greater security by Hong Kong banks, and this process should be completed in 2015. But as ever, your awareness and alertness are the best weapons against thieves using technology.
ATM-skimmers are uncommon, but should you suspect an ATM has been tampered with, please report it to the HKP on their Commercial and Technology Crime Hotline hotline: 2860 5012.
Secure locations for ATMs
ATMs located on public streets are accessible to anyone at any time, making them prime targets for a skimmer. One security-measure worth checking: streetside ATMs attached to a bank sometimes have a security camera (look for the half-dome on the underside).
Another factor: the bad guys like to keep visual contact with the ATM they've illegally modified. An ATM inside a bank-lobby, or shopping mall, or other facility that is locked during non-business hours, is a better choice than a streetside ATM.
Be aware of your ATM's surroundings. You're making a transaction involving valuable personal data and cash. Now is not the time to check Facebook on your mobile phone.
ATM security-practices
Skimmers use pinhole-cameras which can record your PIN (Personal Identification Number) when you type it on the keypad.
Hong Kong ATMs have useful shields around the keypad, but this is important: always cover your typing hand when entering your PIN. You can use your free hand, purse, or wallet to cover the keypad.
Follow the instructions on the ATM: cover your typing hand when you enter your PIN. Every time. This simple practice just might save you from a substantial loss of funds.
Be alert when you use an ATM. Don't let anyone distract you--complete your transaction, be sure you've tucked away your card (and cash) safely, and leave.
More information on ATM-skimmers is available from the website of Charles Krebs: a US-based security researcher who documents these criminal devices. Krebs compiles his ATM-skimmer stories here:
Basic security practices are important when you use any ATM. Refuse to be a victim. Remain alert, cover the keypad when entering your PIN, and urge others to do the same.

Diego Costa and David Villa delivered again for Atletico Madrid, whose La Liga title charge continued to gain strength on Sunday with a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao.
Villa enjoyed Atletico's best opportunities at the Vicente Calderon and put the hosts ahead after 32 minutes by volleying Juanfran's headed cross through the crowded penalty area and into the goal.
Nine minutes later, Koke delivered a perfect ball to Costa, who cut back to dribble around Erik Moran and fire a low shot beyond goalkeeper Gorka Iraizoz for his joint league-leading 13th goal of the season.
Bilbao rarely threatened and they were reduced to 10 men in the 81st minute when Erik Moran was shown a second yellow.
"The team showed great rhythm right from the start and from the first 15 minutes on we dominated the game," Atletico coach Diego Simeone said.
The victory put Atletico Madrid just a point behind La Liga leaders Barcelona.
"We're not frustrated that Barcelona keep winning. We're just happy to keep competing with them after so many rounds," Simeone said.
Also on Sunday, Valencia lifted some of the pressure off coach Miroslav Djukic with their first win in five rounds, a 1-0 victory at Getafe.
Granada scored in stoppage-time for a 1-0 win at Levante UD, while Malaga also needed a stoppage-time winner from a late substitute to beat Real Betis Balompie 3-2.
Costa, the Brazilian-born, naturalized Spaniard, has spearheaded Atletico's title credentials so far this season, but it was captain Gabi who first tested Iraizoz in the 18th minute and the Basque goalie made an outstanding reaction save to a low drive.
Costa then showed how dangerous he is when given space in front of goal as he moved freely down the left side to poke a shot past Iraizoz, but also beyond the far post.
Atletico controlled a physical game and were inching closer to an opener when Iraizoz made another reaction save to deny Villa's powerful half-volley in the 26th minute.
However, Iraizoz could not keep out the Spanish striker's shot from almost the same spot moments later, as Villa's sixth goal of the season made it 1-0.
Koke has been instrumental in Costa's scoring run and the Spain midfielder again set up the striker to add the second, putting him even with Cristiano Ronaldo at the top of the La Liga scoring chart.
"He's such a great player who is growing in every area," Simeone said of Costa, who had chances to score several more in the closing stages. "He's getting better in every aspect, from recovering the ball, controlling it, his movement, and that is helping the team play better."
Valencia had lost three straight before the game at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, but an impressive first-half strike from Dorlan Pabon sealed the morale-boosting victory.
The Colombian striker unleashed a powerful shot from long range in the 40th minute that flew beyond goalkeeper Miguel Angel Moya into the left corner.
Levante had a penalty in the 25th minute, but midfielder Nabil El Zhar saw his spot-kick saved by Granada goalkeeper Roberto Fernandez.
That left the game scoreless until Keylor Navas was beaten by Piti's free-kick, although Granada teammate Manuel Iturra likely distracted the Levante goalkeeper as he stood alone between him and the defensive wall as the ball spun over and in.
Meanwhile, Roque Santa Cruz and Eliseu put Malaga ahead in each half, only for Betis' Joan Verdu to cancel out the opener with a 33rd-minute free-kick, before Jordi Figueras equalized again with an angled header in the 61st.

The show: "Miss Saigon" at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts in Hartford.
What makes it special?: This is a homegrown production made by four presenting houses, including the Bushnell.
First impressions?: Has it been 22 years since "Miss Saigon" opened on Broadway? It's now been decades since the final "blockbuster" from London arrived in New York — along with the brouhahas over the casting of English actor Jonathan Pryce in the role of the Eurasian Engineer, the then-record-breaking three-figure ticket prices, and that damn helicopter that became synonymous with the primacy of special effects over character, story and song.
But time and this partly-local production make things clearer now.
The subject matter of this Vietnam-era romantic extravaganza — that war's end was just 16 years old at in 1991 — is certainly less raw now but also less urgent. Grandiosity, too, has gone out of fashion when it comes to lush romantic tales in favor of more intimate chamber musicals like "The Light in the Piazza," "Once" and the upcoming "The Bridges of Madison County."
Still, one can't deny that big-note passions can still have their pull — and tap into an evergreen market, albeit a much smaller one than that in the blockbuster past.
But one would have to leave logic in the lobby and overlook the still clunky plot, vague characters, the unearned emotions and the interchangeable love songs and just ride the wave of over-emoting. For these fans, a certain satisfaction may be found in this simple-but-by-no-means-puny production, adequately staged and delivered.
Gee, that's mighty generous of you: As regionally produced shows go, this one is reasonably well done, though imperfectly cast, with some sound issues — a common problem on Bushnell opening nights — that hopefully will be corrected as the run continues.
But the songs by composer Claude-Michel Schönberg and lyricists Richard Maltby Jr. and Alain Boublil ("Les Misérables") have a generic feel when there isn't that whiff of being derivative from Kander and Ebb, Puccini or Rodgers *Hart.. (I can't think of this show's big song "Why, God, Why?" without thinking of "There's a Small Hotel.")
And the cast?: Charlie Brady is fine as Chris, the American soldier who is forced to leave his Vietnamese love but the character is written so blandly it's tough to care about his two moods: bliss and angst. Manna Nichols as the Vietnamese girl Kim has an exquisite voice but the actor's athletic physique and American-girl attitude (you could picture her in the cast of "Bring It On!") works against the character's initial vulnerability. There are no sparks in the relationship that takes up most of the first act. It's a relief when the Viet Cong arrive to take over Saigon, jumping the story forward several years and finally giving the show some political pop.
Also giving the production oomph and sardonic humor is Orville Mendoza as the Engineer, the unctuous survivalist who dreams of taking his profiteering skills to America. Nkrumah Gatling as Chris' soldier friend John elevates the second-act opener, "Bui-Doi" from preachy to passionate. Jonny Hsu Lee has fine vocal chops too as Kim's betrothed from an arranged marriage. The hard-working ensemble, too, is solid.
Who will like it?: Fans of the British musical extravaganzas.
Who won't?: Those who want more character in their characters.
For the kids?: Teens might connect to the overwrought, unmotivated romanticism, but you might have to explain why we were in Vietnam in the first place.
Twitter review in 140 characters or less: Ad hoc production serves "Miss Saigon" fans well; but may leave others singing "Why, God, Why?"
Thoughts on leaving the parking lot?: It's not about the helicopter anymore. Yes, this production has an OK representation of a landing for the '75 U.S. evacuation from Saigon but it doesn't have much of a jaw-dropping impact anymore. It may be that this special effect is simply passe, surpassed on the spectacle side by shows like "Spider-Man." But I suspect tastes have simply changed and audiences now prefer more intimate, credible and complex love stories.

Britain's banks and financial firms are taking part in a major cyber "war game" exercise today to test their defences against the mounting threat of online attack.
The simulation – dubbed Waking Shark II – is set to be one of the largest of its kind in the world, involving teams of staff from dozens of banks and other City institutions and overseen by officials from the Bank of England, the Treasury and Financial Conduct Authority.
Details of the exercise have been kept under wraps, but it is expected to concentrate on how banks cope with a sustained attack, in particular focusing on investment banking systems, such as clearing and risk management tools.
Credit Suisse is understood to have designed a scenario that will mimic a real-time threat, with firms hit by a barrage of announcements and attacks on computer systems, also involving social media.
It is thought the test will be co-ordinated from one room, with staff from financial firms interacting with each other, Government officials and regulators as the crisis unfolds.
But teams of staff across the offices of financial firms are also expected to take part as the exercise plays out.
It comes amid growing fears over internet attacks and the ability of the UK banking system to protect itself.
The Bank of England's Financial Policy Committee (FPC) warned recently that there were a number of "potential vulnerabilities" in the system and called on financial institutions – including the Bank – to draw up plans for protection as a priority.
The UK's banking sector is particularly at risk due to old and complex IT systems, as well as a high degree of interconnectedness and its reliance on centralised infrastructure, such as payment systems and clearing houses.
The last cyber threat exercise – the original Operation Waking Shark – is thought to have taken place in 2011 under the watch of the former Financial Services Authority, testing responses to an attack at a time of increased demand, then using the London Olympics as a scenario.
Andrew Wingfield, partner at law firm King & Wood Mallesons SJ Berwin, welcomed a "proactive" test on the resilience of bank security infrastructure.
He said the risk of online attacks was increasing as customers move from traditional banking services to technology, data, communications and social media services.

Hess selling energy marketing business for $1.03B
NEW YORK (AP) -- Hess is selling its energy marketing business to a subsidiary of Centrica PLC for approximately $1.03 billion. The sale is part of Hess' plan to focus on its exploration and production activities.
The energy marketing business supplies natural gas and electricity to 23,000 commercial, industrial and small business customers in the eastern U.S.
Hess Corp. has been working on reshaping its business. In May the company said that it planned to split the roles of chairman and CEO. That same month it reached a deal with activist hedge fund Elliott Capital Management to revamp its board. Elliott had battled for spots on Hess' board while pushing for drastic changes at the energy company.
This transaction brings year-to-date asset sales to $4.5 billion. The company said that selling the energy marketing business to Direct Energy, Centrica's North American subsidiary, will now allow it to start buying back shares under an existing $4 billion repurchase program. It used proceeds from prior asset sales to pay back $2.4 billion of debt and strengthen its balance sheet for future growth.
The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter, pending regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions.
Hess shares finished at $72.03 on Monday.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, claiming the lives of 1 in 4 people annually.
Advanced diagnostic and intervention techniques now allow doctors to gather information about heart problems - whether you're in the ER experiencing heart attack symptoms, or just concerned about your risk of a heart attack. These procedures help not only diagnose heart trouble, but relieve pain and resolve heart problems early to avoid a more serious heart episode and major surgery, down the road.
Diagnostic tests generally fall into two categories: non-invasive, and invasive. Non-invasive tests utilize imaging, such as X-rays or CT scans, which take a picture of the heart. Invasive tests might use a catheter inserted inside the body through an artery or vein to pinpoint the source of heart trouble.
Non-invasive tests Echocardiograms/electrocardiograms: An echocardiogram uses ultrasound to view the heart's structure and function, while an electrocardiogram uses electrodes applied to the chest, arms and legs that are connected to a machine that records the heart's electrical activity.
CT coronary angiogram: This newer heart imaging test provides information about the heart previously only available using more invasive testing methods. It can help detect blockages, such as deposits of fat or plaque that have narrowed the coronary arteries and cause coronary artery disease. Coronary CTA is a special type of x-ray exam. Patients undergoing a coronary CTA scan receive an IV injection of iodine-containing contrast material (dye) to help provide the best possible detail of the areas being examined. It provides imaging previously only available using more invasive testing methods.
Invasive tests/Intervention techniques
Cardiac catheterization: This widely used, minimally invasive procedure provides a look at the inside of the heart and surrounding structures. A catheter (a long, thin and flexible plastic tube) is inserted into an artery or vein in the arm or groin, and threaded into the heart's arteries or chambers. Your doctor is then able to measure blood pressure in the heart, the heart's pumping capability and the amount of oxygen in the blood. Patients are usually awake during the procedure, feel little or no pain; however, there may be some residual soreness in the blood vessel where the catheter was inserted, after the procedure.
Cardiac catheterization is not only a diagnostic method, but in many cases, a first step in surgical procedures that can help minimize or stop a heart attack. Once the catheter is in place, it can be used to perform interventional procedures such as angioplasty or stent implantation.
Percutaneous Intervention: This catheter-based procedure is used to restore blood flow to the heart. A catheter with a balloon at its tip is threaded through a blood vessel to the narrowed artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated to compress built-up plaque against the artery wall; this opens the area and restores blood flow. Angioplasty is frequently used to relieve symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as chest pain (angina), and it can reduce heart muscle damage when performed early during a heart attack. Sometimes the cardiologist will place a stent (a metal support structure) inside the artery that has been opened with a balloon to help the artery remain open.
If you're experiencing symptoms of a heart attack, get to your closest ER immediately. Also, talk with your doctor about your family history and individual risk level. Your doctor can recommend routine tests and preventive habits to help manage your heart health.

The Brasília Declaration
More than 1,900 people from 140 countries gathered in Brasilia to discuss one of the most pressing issues of our time: corruption in today's world.
When the International Anti-Corruption Conference last met in Bangkok in 2010, the raging financial crisis made restoring trust an imperative. Since then, as a result of the lessons learned not being put into practice, the world has seen countless examples of trust abused.
Trust continues to be eroded. Many realise that in politics, in sport, in education, and in business, in local offices and global institutions, corruption denies them a voice, well-being and justice. Now more than ever we must bring corruption fighters together to create a more focused effort against the abuse of entrusted power.

LOWELL, Mass. – Coming off a tough three-set setback on Friday night at UNH, the UMBC volleyball got back to its winning ways with a sweep of UMass Lowell in three sets (25-19, 25-13, 25-10), Sunday morning in America East action at the Costello Athletic Center.
Junior hitter Hannah Schmidt (Catonsvile, Md./Mount de Sales) sent down a match-best 11 kills while senior middle Emily Witsaman (Medina, Ohio/Medina) added ten winners for UMBC (17-10, 8-4 AE) who equals its conference record from last year.
Senior setter Mallory McIntyre registered her ninth double-double of the season by sending out 27 assists and picking up a match-high 14 digs. Classmate Ali Goc (Oshawa, Ontario/R.S. McLaughlin) was also in double figures by scooping up 12 digs for the Retrievers.
UMBC outhit UMass Lowell (0-24, 0-12 AE), .269-.088, while also recording more kills (39-22) and digs (48-39).
Anisa Smith led the River Hawks with seven put-aways as the Retrievers held UMass Lowell without a player in double digits for kills for the second time this season.
Looking to put Friday night's loss behind them, the Retrievers jumped out to a 3-0 lead, and then 4-1, on a kill by Schmidt. The hosts grabbed the next two points to cut the lead to just one, 4-3, but UMBC never allowed the River Hawks to draw level, using a 5-0 run, punctuated by a kill from sophomore Krystal Mlemchukwu (Baltimore, Md./Western Tech), to take the opening frame, 25-19.
The second set was close early with the two squads even on four occasions. After UMass Lowell again pulled within one at 10-9 courtesy of a Smith winner, UMBC ran off six straight and never lost consecutive points the rest of the way. On set point, freshman Ivana Kostic (Belgrade, Serbia/Srednja Skola Grocka) powered down one of her two kills to send UMBC into the break with a two sets to none lead with a 25-13 set win.
The Retrievers continued the momentum into the third frame, grabbing an early 4-0 lead after kills from Witsaman, Mlemchukwu, and Schmidt, in addition to a River Hawk attack error. Then, leading 5-3, UMBC ran off six of the next seven points, with Goc's winners putting the visitors up 11-4. UMass Lowell never got any closer the rest of the way as the Retrievers ran away with the final frame, 25-10, to complete the sweep.
UMBC continues its end of the season road swing next weekend with a contest at Providence on Friday evening before closing out the regular season at Hartford on Sunday.
Dawg Bites
- UMBC's 8-4 mark in America East play matches its best-ever record since joining the league in 2003.
- The Retrievers improve to 2-0 all-time against UMass Lowell after defeating the River Hawks in three sets in Baltimore back on Oct. 4.

So, on a certain forum thread about fanfiction and preservation of characters and whatnot, I mentioned that I was writing a "fanfiction"-ish thingamajig for Fate/Stay Night. Here it is!
Well, sort of. Originally, I wanted to start writing the novel-length fic write off the bat. However, since the setting is in an alternate-universe 11th century Europe/N. Africa/Near East, there was a lot I wanted the readers to know as soon as they started the story. However, I couldn't just slam a crapload of exposition in their face and expect them to sit through all that crap, and I also wanted to contrast the main characters of the novel-length story (who are dealing with the fallout of a devastating war) with how they were like before the big war. Thus, I came up with the idea of creating a set of short stories for each individual important character to delve a little into their backstories and also give readers an idea on what my customized setting is like. And, of course, to give myself a bit of writing practice because...
This is the first time I've ever done anything like this. EVER. Up until now I've never, ever really tried to write a short story, or really, any sort of fiction that wasn't written in the style of a pseudo history book. I've never tried to write a character and make that character seem human, I've never tried telling a story through writing. I've never really tried my hand at writing stuff outside of academic essays, really. Thus, I don't have any experience in narrative flow, writing human-like characters, etc. ''at all''. Part of the reason as to why I'm bothering to write this fic is to try to teach myself to do those kinds of things that good storytellers do, but I'm starting pretty much blind here. Please keep this in mind as you read.
Things I'm concerned with:
1) Writing style. How is my writing style, especially in the action scenes? Is it too choppy, as I suspect it is? Do the sentences transition well?
2) General flow of events. This is a bit much to ask seeing how so little of this short story has been written, but how does the action scene flow to the battle's aftermath?
3) Characterization. Again, this is a bit much to ask given how little the main character is seen doing, but what is the impression of the main character that you get? Do you get any kind of impression at all? After a few folks have posted their opinions on this matter, I will reveal how I ''wanted'' to characterize the main character, and will ask how to better write her to convey how she is supposed to be like.
Additional notes:
Though this is technically a Fate/Stay Night AU fanfiction, I should warn veterans of TYPE-MOON lore (and specifically the lore found in the Fate franchise) that I have very much an outsider's knowledge of things. I've seen most of the anime and I'm aware of important plot events in the 3 Fate/Stay Night routes, stuff in Fate/Hollow Ataraxia, and plot events in Fate/Zero, and very basic, distilled summaries of character personalities due to extensive reading of various wikis (type-moon wikia included). I've only just gotten my copy of Fate/Stay Night (the visual novel) and I will be playing it sometime soon, but until then (or even then), I will have difficulty preserving the original characterizations of certain characters. Some of this will be inevitable since the entire cast has been transplanted onto a radically different setting.

Instagram users showed off their voting activities on Election Day, uploading more than 250,000 election-related photos and immediately posting a slew of photos after hearing of the president's victory, the photo-sharing network posted today.
In the U.S., users tagged more than 100,000 photos with #IVoted and 150,000 photos with #election2012, Instagram reported, with the largest surge of photos coming in right after news outlets projected President Barack Obama's win. At that moment, the number of Instagram photos uploaded each second was at 2.1 times the normal rate.
Clearly, these Americans are not shy about sharing their dedication to civic duty visually, a reflection of Instagram's growing popularity among citizens.
"The intimacy and immediacy of the Instagram experience has fostered new and meaningful connections across the globe, whether it's looking through the lens of a family member across town, or a favorite candidate barnstorming across the nation," Instagram's blog post reads. "We love watching people share photos in new and interesting ways, and we're excited about the potential Instagram has to bring us all closer together."

Estee Lauder Doublewear foundation seems to have many fans and I recently tried their Doublewear Light foundation, a product which has the long wearing properties of the original but a light, sheer finish. I've never tried the original before, although I do prefer a medium coverage base – however, as my skin condition improves a lighter foundation is a good idea.
Doublewear light is a 15 hour wear foundation which a natural, fresh finish. It controls oil, it won't melt even under heat and goes on sheer.
As this is a sheer cover base, the shade ranges are in 'intensity' form – so you are choosing based on depth. They are pretty blendable so I don't think it's the end of the world if you are one shade out.
Colour chart:
I felt that I was between a intensity 3 or 4 and went for 4, which in hindsight is actually a little dark.
I would say in MAC terms this is more of a NC40-45 but it does blend in so it looks like I have a bit of a tan. In hindsight I'd go for a shade 3 (I am a NC30-35).
When this comes out of the tube, it looks a little thick and pigmented and it's not – it is definitely a sheer finish with a slight hint of tint.
Blended in:
I would say this is best for people with better skin – when I was testing this I had some red blotchy areas, and I did need extra concealer on top.
It didn't cling on to any dry patches, which is a miracle, although isn't a particularly hydrating base either so I wouldn't say it's like a tinted moisturiser. I would definitely use a lotion underneath this.
In terms of how well this lasts – the answer is pretty well – better than most base products I have tried recently. It can last a full day at work which is about 9 hours without slipping off and I keep that glowy look although some red patches do 'come through' during the day if that makes sense.
The finish is glowy but it does look matte in some areas.
If you want a long lasting base, far more long lasting than a tinted moisturiser that is light and and will cover very light blemishes, then this is nice product to try out.
For me, it's one of those bases I'd happily take away with me on a holiday to a warmer clime because I like to have flawless looking skin, and this will last without being to heavy. Generally day to day I prefer more hydration and coverage from a foundation.
It has a SPF of 10 so you will need to use additional sunscreen.
This is on sale on Estee Lauder counters or here and costs £27.50.

text: RENSSELAER -- Dressed in uniform, Doane Stuart School students gathered in the school's recently renovated chapel Thursday morning to witness a ceremony dedicating the space to those that financed its renewal. A former gymnasium, the chapel was transformed by a generous donation from the Golub family, owners of Price Chopper supermarkets, who were honored at the ceremony. "Today we are celebrating this chapel as a place of respect for all people and we are celebrating Doane Stuart as a place where we can learn to appreciate our differences" said Neil Golub. Beginning in 2008, renovations turned the once "dusty" gymnasium into an ornate space lit by skylights, decorated with hand-carved Art Deco paneling and furnished with pews from the former St. Rita's Roman Catholic Church in Cohoes. In 2010, a pipe organ purchased by parents on eBay from the State University of New York at Purchase was installed. All those amenities were absent when trustees first walked into the space, said Noel Hogan, president of the board of trustees. "It was poorly lit, it was very dusty, there was no magnificent pipe organ in the back, there were no pews. There was a musty odor in the air and I'm pretty certain it was not lingering incense. And there was a big hole right up there," said Hogan, pointing to a corner of the chapel's high ceilings. In honor of the contribution from the Golub family, which made the chapel into the space it is today, a plaque in the chapel was dedicated to Neil, Jane, and Mona Golub, as well as Mona's son, Ira Ganz, who is a sophomore at Doane Stuart. The chapel, with symbols of the world's religions on its walls -- a menorah, a cross, and an symbol denoting Islam -- was the focus of their donation because it aligned with the goals of A World of Difference, said Neil and Jane Golub. That institute, part of the Anti-Defamation League, was created through a partnership with the Golub family 27 years ago to work against hate, bullying and intolerance because of a person's color, religion, or body shape. "Nicknamed AWOD, it was created and designed to teach students of all ages that hate, bullying and intolerance because of a person's color, religion or body shape was unacceptable and wrong," Jane Golub told the assembled students, trustees and faculty. It was a long journey from the school's former location on South Pearl Street in Albany, inside the former Kenwood convent, to their new home along Washington Avenue, in a building that once housed the Rensselaer Elementary School. The school stated the move was prompted by religious differences with the Society of the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the Catholic order of nuns who owned the former convent. Those differences were likely exacerbated when the order rebuffed the school's offer to buy the site for $7 million. "It wasn't that long ago that it would be very hard to imagine that we could in this place today," said Hogan. "We wandered from Saratoga to Columbia County; we wandered east, we wandered west. Mr. (John B.) Robinson (past president of the board of trustees, stepped down in 2009) had us visit sites on the edge of cliffs, in heavily wooded meadows, all sorts of unpaved, unplowed, undeveloped sites, looking for that home. He had us visit buildings of every shape, age, size, some large, some small, some rectangular, square, circular, and some shapes I couldn't imagine were planned." Doane Stuart's new home was purchased from the Rensselaer School District in 2008 for $4 million. Renovations in the 117,000 square-foot space began in 2008 and were completed for the 2009-10 school year. When the school moved to Rensselaer, enrollment stood at 288, and has grown at a rate of 4 percent, which has held true over the past five years, despite poor economic conditions. According to the director of admission, Michael P. Green, there are 303 students presently attending the school. Ian Benjamin can be contacted at 270-1287.
