ADC audiologist discusses Better Hearing Month on KXAN
Audiologist Penny Barron was in KXAN's studio on Saturday morning to talk about the importance of hearing with anchor Erin Cargile.
During Better Hearing Month, Penny wanted viewers to understand the importance of having your hearing examined at all ages. Many people take their hearing for granted until it is diminished or gone. She is seeing more and more young adults and teens in her office as well.
After examining Ms. Cargile with the video otoscope, Ms. Barron offered advice for cleaning your ears – simply wipe your ear with a clean cloth. A little wax is good for you and using cotton swabs may impact or cause damage to the ear drum.
For more information about hearing screenings visit our Audiology page or call us at 512-901-4808.
Ms. Barron will also be hosting a free seminar on May 23 from 1-2 pm at ADC's Main Clinic.


text: DigitalPalms Casino to Vince Neil: Don't Go Away Mad, Just Go AwayBy Mary C. Long|April 4, 2012ShareBy Mary C. Long|April 4, 2012Share The Palms Casino Resort is having a Twitter feud with Motley Crue's lead singer, Vince Neil. After the singer bashed the Las Vegas hotel in some tweets, the hotel responded (via Twitter) with an eight-tweet response – each kind of saying the same thing over and over: We're pretty bad at PR. Vince Neil was NOT happy about his recent trip to the Palms Casino Resort, as these tweets attest:The Palms came back at Neil with the following twitteruption, detailing their "side" of things:And the overwhelming sentiment expressed in the Twittersphere after this birdfight? Maybe they could have ignored him? Or tried to lighten the moment with a joke, maybe referencing his video (below)? Or maybe they could have just addressed it in a non-public forum, like a phone call maybe? As we've covered numerous times now – even offering recent examples – telling someone off on Twitter may make you feel good in the moment, but could possibly make you look a little silly the next day. This can be bad enough for individuals, but potentially damning for businesses.Why? Potential customers will look you up online months and (hopefully) years into the future and what happens if they stumble upon a tweet where you're publicly putting a famous client in his place? What happened to 'the customer is always right,' they may wonder? And if they'll smack down the lead singer of Motley Crue when he has a complaint, where does that leave regular old me if I'm ever unhappy?Have you experienced negative feedback online? How did you handle it? And how do you think the Palms did with handing this situation?(Talk to the hand image from Shutterstock) Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jGHT3l copy Adweek Adweek

My computer is a dinosaur. It was very slow trying to run modern software and having little RAM to support it. I installed a new 1GB chip, which quadrupled my RAM. I was astounded by the performance boost that this very inexpensive upgrade provided me.
I love my computer again--it makes everything faster and smoother. I would highly recommend this RAM because it has a lifetime warranty!

Baba au Rhum has a brand new location in Anjuna, ideally located near Bamboo Forest on the Anjuna - Baga backstreet. Despite the move, the ambiance remains familiar and comforting; the new café is charming, serene and blissfully laidback.
The Baba au Rhum bakery which supplies freshly baked breads, croissants and patisseries to restaurants and hotels across north Goa, and can also be enjoyed at this location.
A Note for our readers: The original Arpora location is no longer managed by Baba au Rhum, although the property continues to be run as café by the name of "Baba Cafe" by a new group. Baba au Rhum has no association with Baba Café, Arpora.
The café is furnished with long wooden tables and benches, and a 'Chill-Out' area strewn with low tables, mattresses, pillows and throws.
The mood here at Baba au Rhum is always friendly and relaxed. Music from across the world plays over the speakers all day and guests here often linger long after their plates are empty. The café is well staffed and the team is always on hand with friendly smiles and attentive service.
Baba au Rhum prides itself on its healthy and robust sandwiches prepared with breads freshly baked at their own bakery. The bakery produces a large selection of breads, quiches and pastries every day. A wood-fired oven, meanwhile, dishes up delectable pizzas.
Another big draw here are their hamburgers- big, juicy and bursting with flavour, topped with grilled onions, molten cheese and nestled in freshly baked sesame buns. There are options for chicken and vegetarian varieties; while for the gluten intolerant, the burger bun may be substituted with a fresh green salad.
Also on the menu are a variety of hearty, healthy and leafy salads and fresh fruit juices. The staff here always recommends topping off all your meals with their signature deserts, baked fresh daily and sinfully tempting.
Since their inception, the bakery has been specializing in French breads and croissants. Recently, owing to the growing demand, the management recruited a European pastry chef to extend their offerings in the dessert selection. The Baba au Rhum pastry specialities are Mille Feuilles, Strawberry tart, Lemon tart and chocolate as well as coffee éclairs.
The Baba au Rhum bakery supplies to hotels, restaurants and super markets across Goa, as well as for large private orders (weddings, birthdays and more).
If you would like to place an order with the bakery, you may contact Dayini Feraud by phone at +91 9657210468 or by email here>>
Conceived, developed and run by Leo Michaud and Dayini Feraud, Baba au Rhum opened in 2006 and has, over the years, created a niche for itself in Goa.
Baba au Rhum was founded at a time when North Goa's busy beach towns offered limited dining options for its international visitors and global residents. What began as a small café set in a quaint neighborhood in Arpora serving sandwiches and salads, now has two popular outlets and its own bakery that supplies to the top restaurants and hotels in the area.
Baba au Rhum has been reviewed and featured in various national magazines and television programs. (Outlook Traveller, GQ India, NDTV, Nahvind Times et al).

Sears to run Fox's Orlando duop
Former Radio-Television News Directors Association chairman John Sears will
run the news at Fox's Orlando, Fla., duopoly, WOFL(TV) and WRBW(TV).
Sears joins as vice president of news.
Lena Sadiwski, who has been news director, will remain on in a different
capacity, Sears said.
Sears had worked briefly for Fox at KPTV(TV) Portland, Ore., between the time
the station changed from Chris-Craft Industries Inc. to Fox ownership and the time it was
swapped with Meredith Broadcasting Corp. to create duopolies for each of the groups.
Meredith's duopoly was in Portland, with KPTV and KPDX(TV), where it made
quick management changes. Fox's was in Orlando with WOFL and WRBW.

Current Students:
Maisie Borg -Broadly speaking, I am interested in the intersection of botany and climate change with an emphasis on ecophysiology, biodiversity, conservation and ecology. For my MS thesis I am investigating the impact of elevated atmospheric CO2 on the genome size and stomatal characteristics of California grassland species. This research is being conducted in collaboration with the Jasper Ridge Global Change Experiment at Stanford University.
Tasha Kayatsky - My research investigates the water relations of three co-occurring perennial asteraceae within the northern Sierra Nevada; Balsamorhiza sagittata, Wyethia mollis and Helianthella californica. In particular I am interested in characterizing species differences in stomatal sensitivity to changes in soil water availability as influenced by differences in root water storage capacity.
Former Students:
Jenifer Mo - As a graduate student Jennifer investigated circadian regulation of water use in gymnosperms. Jennifer's thesis research found no evidence of circadian regulation of stomatal conductance for there gymnosperm tree species, Pinus ponderosa, Pseudostuga menziesii and Sequoia sempervirens.
Karen Loucos - As an honors student, Karen used stable oxygen isotopes to investigate the pathways for water flow in leaves. Karen is now working towards a PhD. in Dr. Margaret Barbour's lab at the University of Sydney.
Rhys Pirie - For his honors research, Rhys used stable oxygen and nitrogen isotopes to trace the movement of water and nitrogen within soils and the subsequent uptake by cotton plants. Rhys is currently working for Alltech Crop Science.
Millicent Smith - Using common bean as a model system, Millicent investigated compound-speific patterns in leaf and phloem carbon isotope abundance and their relationship to plant water use efficiency. Millicent is now working towards a PhD. in Dr. Andrew Merchant's lab at the University of Sydney.

Receiving a phone call from a English lady living in France wasn't quite what we were expecting!
Can Delta Training help?
Maggie had been searching the Internet for a training company that could help with her dilemma.
Living in France with her son and father, Maggie, an RMN (Registered Mental Nurse), was hoping to return to the workplace but needed some key skills up-dating.
Maggie had tried several UK companies only to find none of them interested in training a single person in three key areas in 24hrs.
And then Maggie found Delta Training and Consultancy in Guernsey.
Not a Problem
'Can you help?' Maggie asked. 'Not a problem,' was the immediate reply from Delta Training's proprietor, Dawn Bagnall. 'What do you need?'
The three subjects Maggie needed were Moving & Handling, Basic Life Support and De-Fibrillation.
48 hours later
Just 48 hours after arriving on the Condor Express from St Malo, Maggie was on her way to Guernsey. Inside 24 hours of arriving in Guernsey, mostly spent with Dawn Bagnall in the training room, Maggie was returning to France clutching the three certificates she needed for her return to work.
So grateful
Maggie was delighted, grateful and astonished that Delta Training and Consultancy was able to cover exactly what she needed and in such a concentrated manner without any corners being cut.
Dawn Bagnall said, 'There really is no such thing as a job too small. It's all about customer service and meeting needs. That's what makes training such fun – you just never know what's going to turn up. It's exciting and keeps us on our toes!
'Thank you, Maggie,' added Dawn, 'for choosing Delta Training and Consultancy. Please keep in touch.'
Delta Training and Consultancy
'Bringing training to the heart of the community'

From the Founder/Creator
We originally created the vyve splashpant to be a bit warmer in water, hold up in chlorinated pools and suck to our body with no bloat minus the cheat factor of neoprene.
We've found through brand fans the vyve splashpant provides function both in water and on land. And they're FUN!
You can wear our splashpant to run, bike, kayak, hike, swim, surf and then pull on a top like our vyve caped hoodie and go meet a friend!

Yesterday we had one of our regular check ups with our Diabetic Care Team.
Today I'm supposed to be going to a Bloggers Event in Central London.
Yesterday, the Diabetic Consultant (lovely man, looks nothing like his photo on his Security pass) saw BB and was pleased with what he saw. He was pleased that BB was enjoying being on the Insulin pump. Enjoying isn't really the right word but it's the only way to describe how much better being on the pump is as opposed to being given seven (or more) injections a day.
The Consultant was pleased with Daddy and I (mainly me, but Daddy does have input too) and the way we test and help BB to maintain a good even blood sugar level and that we were picking up on Trends that he could see looking at the numbers we gave him.
BB's overall blood sugar level is still a little high, so we (The Consultant, the Diabetic care team and us as a family) fiddled yesterday with BB's ratios and the amount of insulin that he is given over a 24hour period.
Minor changes.
All was well yesterday afternoon.
All was well yesterday evening.
All was sort of okay during the night.
All was not well this morning.
I woke up early, I was thinking about BB's levels and not being around during the day and so went to check BB's blood sugar. He was low. So I gave him a sugary drink that he drank whilst still half asleep as it was 5:30 am. 15 minutes later his blood sugars had gone up, but not enough to be considered normal. So I waited 15 minutes more and he had a perfect level (although probably still climbing).
Remember that Bloggers event I'm going to today? Now I have guilt over it and I'm not going.
During the day today, BB will probably have a few low blood sugar readings whilst at School. Now, yes Daddy can handle these and could handle the telephone calls we'll probably get from the School Office when BB fails to rise as quickly as he has in the past from a low blood sugar level.
It's me who deals with it normally. It's me who runs up the School with the Glucagon injection when the School tell me that BB is really low and not responding to them. I'm the one who goes to Children's birthday parties and stands at the back, watching and waiting for BB to start showing signs of being low, or ready to carb count and give him a bolus of insulin when the food is set out.
Before he was diagnosed, I wasn't the sort of Mum that hung around in the background. I'd regularly head off to London or to Blogger events or to my friends homes an hour or so away. I can't do that now. I'm turning down attending events all the time these days, because I can't be far from Big Boy. I can't be more than ten or fifteen minutes away because I need to be able to rush to School in case he is rushed to the Hospital.
Add this to the reasons to why I hate Diabetes.

This tutorial in the continuation of the one where we made the square in continuous rounds!
To crochet a cube in rounds:
- Work without increases or decreases until you reach the desired height;
- To start to close the cube work the same number of single crochets between the corners as in the last round where you increased;
- To make the corners and close the cube decrease using the single crochet 3 together (sc3tog);
- Always start working the sc3tog in the stitch before the sc3tog on the previous round;
- The stitches between the decreases always decrease by 2.
With these rules you can make cuboid amigurumi in the shapes you like!
Next week I'll try a couple of variations we can use when making a cube in continuous rounds!
How to... Make a Square in Continuous Rounds
A crochet square can be used as an accessory or an aplique but most useful in amigurumi it can be used as the base for a cube or other cuboid shapes.
As my preferred way of making amigurumi is in continuous rounds or spirals I also prefer to make squares, that are going to be turned into 3d shapes, in the round.
To learn how to make a square working in spirals watch the video below!
To crochet a square in the round:
- Work 4 single crochets into the Magic Ring;
- Work 3 single crochets on all stitches of the previous round;
- Keep working up to the desired size always keeping in mind the 2 rules:
- Always work the corners in the middle stitch of the corner of the previous round, and
- The stitches between the corners always increase by 2 from round to round.
Next week I'll turn this square into a cube! Make sure you don't miss it!

Learn how to close the top of your amigurumi pieces flat!
This techniques is very useful when you want the arms of your amigurumi to lay flat against their body instead of out to the side, or when you want your migurumi softies to be able to sit down!

I used this technique for Diddl's and Diddlina's arms because I wanted them to lay flat against their bodies.
I used the same technique for Alice and Luca's legs, so they're able to sit down!
Have you used this technique before? How? Let us know in the comments below!
How to... Crochet an Amigurumi Cylinder
The cylinder is very useful when you want to make shapes that stand on its own. You can use it to make feet, legs, long bodies, hats, barrels, cups...
Learn how to crochet a cylinder by using these simple rules:
1. Start with a flat circle
Crochet a flat circle with the diameter you want your cylinder to have.
2. Work up and on the back loop
Work without increases or decreases into the back loops only.
3. Increase height
Work without increases or increases until you reach the height you want for your cylinder.
4. Decrease to close
Decrease evenly around on all rounds until you have 8 to 6 stitches.
Important: the first round of decreases must be worked into the back loops.
5. Close and finish off

1. Start with a flat circle
Crochet a flat circle with the width you want your "pill" to have.
2. Work up

3. Decrease to close
Decrease evenly around on all rounds until you only have 8 to 6 stitches or less.
4. Close and finish off
Close the opening and finish off securing the yarn.
And that's it! Your ball is finished and ready to use! =D
How to... Crochet a Flat Circle
Learn how to crochet a flat circle using these simple rules!
All you need to do is follow this simple rules:
1. Start with the right number of stitches
If you start with too many stitches your work will become wavy, and if you start with too few your work will bunch up into a cup.
The taller the stitch you're using the more stitches you need to start with:
- If you're crocheting with single crochet start with 6 to 8 stitches.
- If you're crocheting with half double crochet start with 8 to 10 stitches.
- If you're crocheting with double crochet start with 12 to 14 stitches.
The number of stitches you start with may vary depending on your tension and the yarn you're using.
2. Increase evenly on all rounds
Increase the same amount of times as the number of stitches in your first round.
Have the same number of stitches between the increases throughout the round.
For example, if you're working with single crochet and started with 6 stitches your work will look like this:
Round 1: 6 single crochets into the Magic Ring (6st)
Round 2: increase on all stitches (12st)
Round 3: (1 single crochet, 1 increase) x 6 (18st)
Round 4: (2 single crochet, 1 increase) x 6 (24st)
Notice how on every round there's one more stitch between the increases, and how the total number of stitches at the end of each round keeps increasing in multiples of 6.
And that's all you need to know to crochet a flat circle with single crochet, half double crochet and double crochet! Use this technique when you want to make crochet flowers, bags, bowls, mandalas and even some amigurumi pieces where you want the finished project to stand upright!

"KNOW YOUR OWN HAPPINESS. YOU WANT NOTHING BUT PATIENCE; OR GIVE IT A MORE FASHIONABLE NAME––CALL IT HOPE." ––Sense and Sensibility, Jane Austen
In Mr. Darcy's Promise, Mr. Darcy learns of his love for Elizabeth on a ride on his horse. He tells himself that hard work and fortitude has gotten him what he wants in life. I firmly believe that it takes both of these things to be a success. It takes real effort to make something a success. It may mean long hours or late nights. It might mean putting off more engaging activities to get a job done. In short, you have to work for the things you want in life.
But there is a second important step . . . fortitude. What exactly is fortitude? Some synonyms are: courage, bravery, moral fiber, strength of character, true grit, and steadfastness. So why must we maintain a strong work ethic as well as have fortitude if we so desire to find our happiness? Because fortitude is the inner strength that endures the test time.
I have had the opportunity to interview for a fantastic job but if I get the job, there will be a great deal of sacrifice in order to get trained. I literally will be on call 24 hours a day for 6 days a week for 6 months. Now we have just started the interview process but anyone can see that there will be two very important things required to do this kind of training: Hard work and Fortitude. From an outside perspective, it might not even be worth it. But that is for those who do not value hard work and fortitude.
One of my favorite parts of a romance novel is when the hero and heroine are moving towards an understanding. All that can be seen is roses. But, from experience, and the sign of a great book, the reader knows that conflict is coming. There will be some major misunderstanding that will separate the characters for a time until one or both of them put away their pride and work it out. I like to say that we can never be the hero by doing small things. We will never resolve conflict with shying away. Our happily ever after will never come if we are afraid to fight for our happiness.

At Mural Unveiling, Ohavi Zedek Synagogue, August 2, 2015:
"It is an honor to be here with you on this special day that has such significance and was generations in the making.
I saw the mural for the first time about a year ago when it was not at all clear that today would come. As the son of an architect and someone who has spent 15 years in construction before this job, I could tell that a very difficult task was ahead.
Governor Kunin, as usual, got it exactly right when she said that anyone with any connection to the Holocaust will be moved by the sight of this mural. As a descendant of Eastern European Jews, I experienced that myself while walking into the synagogue today and seeing the remarkable new installation. The mural has persisted and survived through adversity, like Judaism itself.
As the Mayor of Burlington, I see a broader significance in today's event. At a time when Burlington is once again welcoming many newcomers from around the world, the rediscovery of this mural is a reminder that Burlington has always been a City of immigrants, and that its strength is built on the shoulders of so many who have come here for so long. That will continue to be a force of strength and renewal in our time as well.
I am happy to be here to say congratulations and thank you to everyone involved in this complex, difficult work that was needed to make today possible."

FAQs Need your HIGH attention:
1. Q: If this tracker can work without a simcard?
A: This tracker is a combination of current GSM network and GPS positioning. A suitable simcard is a FIRST NECESSITY to make it work. These 2 CANNOT work seperately.
2. Q: Where can I find a Suitable simcard to make it work?
A: As mentioned above, a suitable simcard is required to make it work. But when you choose the simcard, you need to be CAREFUL in order not to waste money. The simcard should be a GSM network based (ONLY GSM). The tracker now CANNOT support 3G in theory. Why in theory? According to our selling experience, in some countries such as AU, US, UK, etc, there are ONLY 3G simcard can be found now. But the tracker CAN still perform normally with such 3G simcard, that is because these 3G simcard can support or compatible with a lower generation like 2G or 2.5G, which is enough to make the tracker work. When you choose the simcard, PLEASE DO CONFIRM this with your local simcard provider.
3. Q: If your trackers are FAKE or CLONE ones?
A: First, let's say NO to confidence both of you and us. We have our OWN production line and Tracking system. If we are selling fake or clone ones, we should have been prohibited from selling earlier. There are several GPS tracker manufacturers here in China. We will NEVER send emails worldwide to say only trackers we are selling are REAL ones. Because on this question, buyers will make their final judgment. What you will get from us won't be just a simple transaction BUT should be professional technical support and final pleasant using experience. We have been trying to improve all the time just because we regard all your things as them of ourselves. So we need your trust and a firm support

Jacob on being the first transgender man for our campaign
'There is a lot of fear, stigma and misinformation about HIV which adds up to people being complacent.'
HIV can affect absolutely anyone, and Jacob is a proud advocate of sharing that message. As the first transgender man to be the face of the It Starts With Me campaign, he's leading the way for more mainstream LGBT+ representation and speaking out to his community about the issues that matter most to him.
'I feel that as an LGBTQ person, HIV/AIDS is a big part of the story of my ancestry and living history, and I feel we can honour that history today by working towards a world free of new transmissions.'
Jacob first appeared in the campaign in 2016 and had an enormous impact on the LGBT+ community, with many other transgender influencers coming forward on social media to support Jacob and his story, and share their own. Jacob understands the impact equal representation can have, and understands in particular that it can be difficult for transgender people to seek help regarding their sexual health.
'The trans community in particular are prone to not getting sexual health checks enough. It can be a challenging experience for lots of reasons. You worry about whether the professional you are seeing will treat you with respect, whether they will know enough about your anatomy to get it right, or whether you will have to do a lot of explaining. It can be really difficult.'
Having LGBT+ role models like Jacob is crucial for this reason, and it is our hope that we can make our efforts more inclusive of everyone by continuing to diversify the campaign. We want everyone to be able to see themselves in the campaign to help them understand that HIV really can affect anyone.
'I think that a lot of people still have an "it won't happen to me" attitude to HIV. I know many people who are worried about their status but are too afraid to get checked, they shrug it off and continue as normal. There is a lot of fear, stigma and misinformation about HIV which adds up to people being complacent.'
Jacob has the full support of his friends, family and colleagues, and wants to continue to be involved with the campaign and set a positive example for everyone – particularly other transgender individuals.
'If you are trans, and you are putting off an HIV test, I would urge you to seek out a friendly clinic. Remember an HIV test doesn't involve a physical examination and knowing your status is really positive because it allows you to lead a long and healthy life through treatment. I would recommend Clinic T in Brighton or Clinic Q in London for any trans person who is worried about their sexual health and needs a friendly and open service.'

Find a testing option suitable for you

Plenum Healer: offering metaphysical healing
* Affiliate links.
75.23 ▶ Questioner: I am sorry for the confusion. Sometimes, as you say, sound vibration complexes are not very adequate, and I'm sorry.
You made the statement in a previous session that the true adept lives more and more as it is. Will you explain and expand upon that statement?
Ra: I am Ra. Each entity is the Creator. The entity, as it becomes more and more conscious of its self, gradually comes to the turning point at which it determines to seek either in service to others or in service to self. The seeker becomes the adept when it has balanced with minimal adequacy the energy centers red, orange, yellow, and blue with the addition of the green for the positive, thus moving into indigo work.
The adept then begins to do less of the preliminary or outer work, having to do with function, and begins to effect the inner work which has to do with being. As the adept becomes a more and more consciously crystallized entity it gradually manifests more and more of that which it always has been since before time; that is, the One Infinite Creator.

I applied this lesson plan to upper- intermediates as you see in my lesson plan. However, some small problems occurred because the students were just 10 people in that day and my mentor teacher had told me that they would cover the reported speech until I came to teach there for my internship. But, it did not happen, they could not remember reported speech and I recognized it after ı gave them their first worksheet. Although these negative things which does not lie at my door, I believe my lesson plan worked well and my students enjoyed very well. Below is my lesson plan and I will support it with my pictures.
I sticked a picture from "LOVE ACTUALLY" movie and I asked questions.
I gave them a worksheet about the movie.
After they complete the sentences, they checked their answers from the movie by watching two times.
While I explaining reported speech, I said " we can use reported spech in our gossips. Pardon, in these days people do not say they are gossiping, they say : We are just analyzing the situations and people. So, we'll just analyze the situations and people, we don't gossip never ever." Then, I told them I had invited three gossip girl characters.
After I explained my topic superficially and told them the difference between "say" and "tell" , I gave them a classic worksheet for 10 minutes.
After eliciting the answers, the game started. There are isolated students near the wall and their english is very poor. Therefore, I did not want them to be in the same team for the game. I divided the students into two groups by telling them in order "you are red, you are blue, you are red, you are blue..." Red ones gathered in one corner, and blue ones gathered one group. I gave them small papers to write and wanted them to select a writer. I read direct sentences and they changed them to reported sentences as soon as possible. They wrote their sentences on the papers and showed me by raising them up. After each correct sentence, the group will go further until they scored a goal.
I gave a reward for the winner team.
I had a contingency plan, but I did not apply it. There are some sentences which were told by famous people. I would have wanted the students to change the sentences into reported speech.

The concept of Motodachi by Paul Budden 7th Dan Kyoshi
Often the concept of being a Motodachi can seem quite daunting and usually stems from a basic lack of knowledge and understanding.
If we look at the aspects of Kendo practice – Keiko …it is obviously apparent that we need a minimum of two people to effectively complete the various exercises that are needed in order for us to make a progression. It is this interactive relationship and the collective needs that have to be understood & cultivated from an early stage in our Kendo careers.
The role of Motodachi has obvious comparisons and similarities with Uchidachi – 'the one who leads' in Kata geiko – Kata practice and can often be misconstrued as being only the senior person, this is coming from the concept of seniors having more knowledge through their experience which unfortunately is not always the case. Shidachi and Kakarite then being the opposite side – 'the one who responds' or who takes the initiative. During the relative practice sessions where a Motodachi is required the position can be assumed by both senior and junior practitioners as it only requires plain and simple understanding through good direction in order to become a good Motodachi.
The responsibility and tasks of Motodachi in Kihon practice: Motodachi has the responsibility to be the one who helps (leads) by correct distance and with a clear indication of what is required from Kakarite i.e. Men, Kote, Do, Tsuki, opportunities offered should be both inviting and encouraging and should avoid breaking Kakarite's rhythm through hesitant or bad timing and unclear or late indications.
The use of a formal approach by stepping into Issoku itto no mai (initially for Men) from the Shokujin distance encourages and develops 'Seme' – step in or 'approach' and if the opportunity is indicated by a clear invitation, then move on to the strike, if the centre is held then Kakarite should move back and approach again.
There is ideal opportunity for the development of Zanshin during the exercises for both sides which should be maintained at an equal level – 100% by both parties.
The use of Suri ashi rather than Fumikomi in the first instance, teaches both control of the body movement through Ki ken tai ichi with an ease of movement. – Fumikomi movements can then be undertaken later once the patterns have been established
Correct breathing and Kiai are paramount – Kakarite should offer an initial Kiai prior to their approach, Motodachi needs to offer a reciprocal Kiai at this initial distance of Shokujin no mai, this can then be the 'trigger' for Kakarite to begin. On striking Kakarite's secondary Kiai should be extended until returning to the start position. Sets of 3 strikes can be undertaken in one breath and then extended to further striking combinations.
Patterns – set exercises should be introduced with as much variation as possible through varied cutting actions and combinations with both large and small strikes.
Counter striking by Motodachi is both educational for Kakarite as it removes the elements of shock and surprise that can be encountered in the first instance as a 'beginner' in Kendo and instills confidence with striking without 'flinching' or protective covering actions, it also improves the skills of Motodachi. This can be seen as a development from the giving of a clear indication – i.e. opening for Men & Kote to the application of Oji techniques such as Suriage waza.
Motodachi should endeavour to apply the same 'logical' applications in both Uchi komi & Kiri kaeshi practices, however the cutting actions coming from Kakarite should be encouraged to be large in each case when undertaking 'Basic exercises' with emphasis for Motodachi' in Uchi komi geiko to encourage good distance, breathing and timing. Ozawa sensei points out that Motodachi should always 'consider the best way to improve Kakarite'.
Motodachi in Kakari geiko (Advanced exercises): In Kakari geiko it is the requirement of Kakarite to instigate the attack without receiving indications i.e. 'given areas of attack' and with an emphasis on Kakarite to build the attacking spirit through Kiai and Ashi-sabaki (this build up according to Tashiro sensei should be an 'animalistic' feeling like a cat & dog or Dog v Dog or cat v cat fights as types of examples squaring up). This should be done whilst maintaining the far to Shokujin distance before launching into an all out attack lasting around 10 seconds. Motodachi should not offer the indications seen in Kihon practices, but should maintain a strong 'central' looking Chudan kamae, but without being over forceful. Kakarite should after the 'Kiai build up' attack by breaking Motodachi's Kamae using techniques such as: Osae, Harai, Uchi otoshi and 'the approach' – Seme. Motodachi should not offer resistance to these attacks (keeping a 'loose' Kamae), but should look to deflect inappropriate strikes, attempt counters like Nuki-do and Suriage etc whilst continuing to encourage Kakarite to attack. Kakarite should attack with small but full sharp cutting actions as many times as they can within one breath and use 'approach' movements when applicable and as required throughout the sequence.
During the practice of Kihon, Kiri kaeshi, Kakari geiko and Uchi komi, Motodachi should not allow the Maai – distance between them to open up, but should close in each time and adjust as required, Kakarite can then move feely from the correct distance of Issoku itto no ma-ai without breaking the rhythm of their movement.
Here some notes taken from Sumi sensei's book translation courtesy of Matsuda sensei.
There are three things that always need to be considered after being a Motodachi in keiko and Shido-geiko:
1) At any time was I in 'a resting' mode, so did I spend any time without concentration?
2) Did I make the appropriate distance (Maai)?
3) Did I encourage and make Kakarite execute their skills fully? And did I also encourage them to do a little more than their usual ability?
Motodachi should hold appropriate 'Ki-atari' (communicative spirit) with a strong 'Kensen' whilst maintaining good but subtle distance with Kakarite. This will teach Kakarite how to perform Shikake' waza (attacking techniques) with appropriate opportunities. Motodachi should teach the Kakarite good opportunities, appropriate distance and 'Ai-ki' – a harmonised spirit.
Note from translator:
Motodachi needs to 'encourage' there is often a word used in Japanese – 'Hikidasu' which means 'to pull out' and in this case, Kakarite's best ability. This means that Motodachi needs to know Kakarite's limit and encourage 'a little more' than their normal performance level.
The following citations from Matsuda sensei on the teachings of Uegaki sensei, Fujita sensei also from Yoshimura sensei in his books
"Uchidachi is I believe coming from the Koryu idea of being a teacher 'Utsu' means to strike and 'Tachi' means sword, this means 'striking sword' and with the student side being 'Shidachi' – 'Shi' means to serve. So there are striking and serving swords in Koryu, this is the way of learning Kumi-tachi or Kata forms.
Whereas 'Motodachi' and 'Kakarite' are in my view, coming from Shinai kendo. 'Moto' means the root or platform or in 'building' (Construction) terminology -'foundations' (to receive a building on top) 'Tachi' in this context is 'standing' or 'position'. This also means 'the base position', whereas 'Kakari' means to approach or attack and often implies 'to initiate'. Here then we can put into context the Motodachi and Kakarite relationship, with Motodachi in a 'static position ready to receive' Kakarite who takes the 'initiative and executes attacks'. In other words there is Motodachi who receives and holds Kakarite's techniques on top of the platform (foundations) this together then creates and completes a 'strong building' one that can be then added to 'floor by floor'. This is the concept of 'Shitei-Doko' which means that the teacher and the student walk together side by side, thus establishing their 'human' relationship. Students in order to improve their ability learn proactively from the Teacher whereas the teacher although also learning from this process, has to continue to learn externally in order to improve. Kendo appears then to have a much larger picture in this context not only for one to improve but also for the entire group to improve together".

What you're saying: David Price, Terry Munson
We must support language education
As the Editorial Board noted in "Reverse the decline in language education" (July 13), strengthening language education is critical to maintaining our position in the world economy because it equips America's students to compete on the global stage. It is also a national security imperative: A recent report from the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, commissioned by me and three other members of Congress, confirmed that language and cultural inadequacies in our military and intelligence communities weaken our capacity to further American interests abroad.
Last February, with this in mind, I introduced the World Language Advancement and Readiness Act (H.R. 1239) to create and support high-quality world language programs in elementary and secondary schools. The bill would authorize three-year competitive grants to support local and state school districts that plan to establish improve, or expand innovative programs in world language learning. This legislation would also incentivize the creation of professional development programs for world language teachers.
International education and foreign language advocacy groups have expressed their support for my legislation, and the bill already has cosponsors from both sides of the aisle. Shoring up language education is a vital investment in our nation's education, national security and economic competitiveness. I will continue to fight for this critical priority over the coming months by promoting H.R. 1239 and relevant expenditures on the House Appropriations Committee.
U.S. Rep. David Price
Chapel Hill
Positively Trump
Contrary to common belief, something positive has emerged from the current administration. Though Trump himself would not admit it, he has made a significant contribution toward Americans' understanding that governing is difficult, frustrating, and requires the best minds with the most experience.
Throughout his campaign Trump insisted that health care, and every other complex issue the government addresses is incredibly easy and that he could provide the solutions. As it turns out, he does not have the intellect or the disposition to tackle a subject and lead on any issue important to America. That helps explain why no non-trivial legislation has been signed since Jan. 20, 2016, and clarifies why he is babbling about non-existent domestic voter fraud while ignoring proven Russian interference in last November's election.
As it turns out, not knowing what you don't know is a crippling handicap if you are trying to run a country or a nursery or a laundromat. His whiney baby interpretation of leadership does not appear to be serving him – or anyone else – well.

Traveling with children can at times be a bit stressful because they have so many demands. Careful planning ahead of time can save you the headache while on the road. If you are planning a long flight with little kids, read our tips here.
1. Reservations are a must when traveling with children. Request a copy of your reservation if you are booking with a hotel directly or through a travel agent. Print a copy and bring it with you. Same goes with airline tickets – although you can usually retrieve your reservation at the airport by using your credit card or id, make a hard copy of the ticket as well.
2. Once your bags are packed and you know how many you will be checking, print your airline boarding passes at home. This will save you time at the airport. Kids are not good at waiting in line, so anything that you can do ahead of time to shorten the weight time is a good idea.
3. Call your credit card company and let them know that you are planning a trip so that you don't have problems using your card. Credit card companies fight fraud by preventing suspicious charges to your card. If this is your first trip to a particular destination, make sure that you let them know that you will be traveling. This is especially the case when going overseas, but it's a good idea for domestic trips as well.
4. Make a list of emergency numbers to call in case you need them on your vacation: your bank, the child's doctor, a neighbor who can keep an eye on your apartment, etc.
5. Just before departure, check the weather at your destination. That way, you can make last minute wardrobe adjustments if it looks like it will be colder or rainier that expected.
6. If you are flying, don't leave the house before confirming that your plane will actually be leaving on time. It's much better to wait with kids at home than at a crowded airport.
7. If you are driving with kids, make sure they have something to do: their favorite movies on a tablet, some video games and books. Look up directions ahead of time so that you will have a good idea of where you are going. Printing a map is also important unless you can pull one up in your car.
8. Remember to charge your phone, camera and other electronic equipment so that you have full batteries on the road. Pack the charger that you plan to use while traveling. Click here for packing tips.
9. Make sure that you have health insurance coverage in your chosen destination. Evacuation insurance is also a good idea in case there is an emergency.

It can be very stressful dealing with behaviour issues, but the ABC model is a handy way to understand what is happening, and respond instead of just reacting. It involves looking at the: Antecedents (what happened before the behaviour?) Behaviour (what is the actual behaviour?) Consequences (what happens afterward?) This is an effective technique for taking the emotions away from challenging behaviours, analyzing these behaviours, then creating effective responses. When creating a behaviour support plan, it will be important to work out which strategies you will use. These strategies are not to be used occasionally, but will need to be applied consistently by everyone who encounters the targeted behaviours. While they may be difficult at first, your chosen techniques will eventually become second nature. Antecedents What occurs before the behaviour (and may have triggered it)? The antecedents are simply all the relevant things that happened before the behaviour occurred. They can also be considered as triggers for the behaviour, such as: things that other people did or said emotional state (e.g. depressed, tired, anxious etc.) the environment (e.g. hot, noisy, cramped, smell, bright lights). Managing these antecedents, or triggers, is a proactive way to avoid behaviours occurring in the first place. Here are some useful strategies: Build and maintain good rapport Avoid or minimize known triggers Sometimes a distraction or redirection away from the trigger may be all that is necessary Involve the brain-injured person in discussing triggers Work together on possible coping strategies in dealing with triggers Suggest and encourage these strategies when a trigger occurs. Graduated exposure to the antecedent This is useful when antecedents can't or shouldn't be avoided. With time and patience, it can be a powerful technique. For example, Kirsten starts screaming in supermarkets due to sensory overstimulation. Her mother says they will just stand outside the supermarket for 30 seconds then go home. The next time, they go in for 30 seconds then go home. This is gradually lengthened until Kirsten has adapted to this difficult environment. Preparing for the antecedent An inability to cope with chaos, unpredictability and lack of routine is common after a brain injury. For example, if Chris finds the activity and noise of a supermarket unpleasant, it can help to talk about expected reactions and ways to cope before the event. Behaviour What happens during the behaviour (what does it look like?) Before you respond to an actual behaviour, the key is to understand the purpose of the behaviour and what it may be expressing about unmet needs. Although emotions can be running high, there are still strategies that can prove useful during the behaviour itself: Stay calm and speak in an even tone Give simple directions and prompts about coping mechanisms Use non-threatening hand gestures Manage your personal safety and remember the strategies agreed on for dangerous incidents Recognize when it's time for disengagement/exit strategies for crisis situations. Ignoring the behaviour In some cases, behaviour occurs to get attention, so the best strategy may be to ignore it. As with many of these techniques, tactical ignoring is best linked with positive reinforcement. For example, a child is ignored during a tantrum, but is rewarded with praise, a treat or favourite activity once the tantrum is over. Consequences What are the immediate & delayed reactions from everyone involved? The consequences, or our responses to a challenging behaviour, are very important. For example, a pleasant consequence can simply reward the behaviour, while a negative consequence may discourage it. Pleasant consequence: "When I yell everyone gives me what I want". Negative consequence: "When I yell everyone ignores me completely"). When we use the ABC technique to analyze behaviour, we tend to stop reacting emotionally in ways that often make the situation worse. A consistent response from everyone to challenging behaviour can have a very strong effect over time.
