Hello everyone, my name is Caitlyn Smith but my nickname is Cain. I am a sixteen year old junior who goes to Buchholz High School. I recently moved to Gainesville to come live with my grandmother. She takes very good care of me and supports me in everyday possible. Since coming to Gainesville I have joined the Japanese pop culture club but I'm also heavily into robotics, music, art, and learning new information. After school you'll most likely find me drawing nature or new characters I have designed. I've always wanted to be an exchange student for as long as I could remember. I saw how people came back much stronger than they started off. I was never given the opportunity to try out until I came to Gainesville. Everyone in Rotary is extremely kind and only want the best for you. I hope to accomplish becoming a better version of myself and to learn about an entirely different culture. I am ecstatic about being able to go to Japan and I know my journey is only just beginning. This is an opportunity of a life time and I am thankful for Rotary allowing me to go on this adventure. ありがとうございます。ロータリー! Journals: Cain-Japan Blog 2018-19 Cain, Outbound to Japan 皆さん、こんにちは!I've been in Japan for about two months now. It still feels like a dream. I arrived in Japan on August 26, which means my birthday, April 26, will be my eighth month here. I had a really rocky first few days. I was thrown into the world of school festivals and had to learn a dance that was to be performed the next day. Everything was a blur and I felt like crying. Even though I was going through a tough time I pushed through it and found a sense of normality. My classmates are very kind, funny, and helpful. I've started slowly building friendships and its definitely not easy. I try my best to speak in as much Japanese as possible so my classmates don't have to be stressed out about finding the right English word. My host family is absolutely amazing as well. They care about my strange hobbies like going to the animate shop every weekend or my obsession with cats. They push me out of my comfort zone and want me to be the very best me I can be. So, in return I study for hours on end and have decided to not speak English unless asked for translation or I don't know of anyway else to communicate. This method has pushed my Japanese skills so much farther. I understand about half of what people say and ninety percent of what my parents say. Oddly enough I really enjoy kanji! Even though most people find it difficult, I find it to be very beautiful and helps shorten up sentences. What I think everyone can agree on is that cursive kanji is beyond anything even imaginable. Even so, learning comes with difficulties that you just have to get pasted. That is why I'm very grateful to have my host family as my support system. They have really welcomed me into Japan with open arms. There are definitely pros and cons to living here. While I've gone on so many amazing adventures like going to a world-famous garden (kenrokuen), aquarium, geisha district, joining in on a shrine lifting festival, its definitely not all fun. I've gotten lost multiple times on the buses ending up on the other side of town. It's extremely humid and hard to adjust to. I've arrived in sick season so the chance of me getting sick are pretty high. School is sometimes hard to adjust to because teachers write things really fast and I can't write it down fast enough. Some of the food really messes with my stomach as well. But you know what, I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in the world. Even though I've had some "bad" days, the good ones are what shine through. I love my new home and already don't want to even think about leaving. I look forward to the new adventures that await me. I'm so grateful to my Rotary club in Florida for giving me this opportunity and my Host club in Japan for accepting me. I hope I can make you all proud.またね!Click HERE to read more about Cain and all her blogs Thu, October 11, 2018 (No comments)

Learn how Wellness supports a better standard of care, and efficiency.
Alarm.com Wellness is coupled with the leading home security solution from Alarm.com. Get additional peace of mind with 24/7 emergency response for intrusion, fire and medical emergencies and have persistent awareness of what's going on at home.

More comprehensive than traditional Personal Emergency Response (PERS) wearable pendants, Alarm.com Wellness is a safety net that provides a more complete view of a loved one's well-being, and delivers automatic, real-time alerts. Unlike a PERS button, Alarm.com Wellness does not rely on the individual to take an action or remember to keep the button with them.

Wellness can also simplify routine tasks, with seamless automation across the home's critical systems. Easy to use rules and schedules allow you to automate lights, thermostats, locks and security – so your loved one doesn't have to remember to turn lights on or off, or lock the door every night. Caregivers can even remotely check on thermostat settings and adjust the temperature, if needed, through a mobile app.
"...the system provides real-time info on your loved ones whereabouts and well-being, all without the use of intrusive cameras."
"A product like Wellness provides a simple, one-and-done solution that is clearly deserving of a CES Editors' Choice award."

Working with Windows ME
How do I create a daily backup on my system? I want the icon to sit on my desktop so each night, before I finish my work, I can just click on the icon so it reminds me to back up before I shut down and back up my system to CD ROM. I have searched everywhere on Windows ME and I cannot find how to do it. I am an artist not a nuclear scientist. If you can help I would be so very grateful. At the moment, I have to send everything onto a CD ROM in my E drive and it is very time consuming.
There are a couple a ways you can backup on a daily basis. However, before getting to those, it is important to realize that you should be creating two types of backups: A full backup and incremental backup. A full backup will copy bit for bit all the data from your drives on to your archive media. An incremental backup will copy just the files that have changed since your last full backup.
Both Windows ME and 98 have a backup program that resides in the system tools folder. This backup program will allow you backup your system to a specified archive media. This archive media could be a tape drive, CD ROM, hard disk, or other media type. If you want a reminder to do this everyday, you should create a shortcut to the backup program. Information on creating a shortcut can be found in your ME documentation.
Another program that you may find easier to use and more feature-rich is a program from 1Vision software called 1Safe. This program allows puts a status bar on your screen and allows you a lot flexibility. For a free trial of the software, go to http://www.1visionsoftware.com./

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Comparison Shopping and other Mortgages topics.
Pure fixed rate comparisons are easy. A fixed rate of 6.5% will cost more than a 6.125% loan each year and over the life of the loan. But to properly compare effective rates, use the Annual Percentage Rate (APR) which considers all closing costs for a particular loan and will be shown in the federal Truth In Lending (TIL) statement required to be given to you within 72 hours of you submitting an application. Unlike most other installment loans, the stated rate of a mortgage is also its true rate. However, closing costs can affect the effective rate you will pay. Therefore, for a real comparison, you must include the closing costs as a factor in the true interest rate for the loan. You must look closely at the APR for an ARM as the effective rate can be very different from the start rate, depending on the frequency of rate adjustments, the index and margin, and the adjustment and lifetime caps on the loan.

And later this month, we will learn whether he will commit more young men and women to a losing battle in Afghanistan, which is rapidly becoming President Obama's briar patch. Meanwhile, nothing has changed at home, where the armchair warriors of the mainstream media are campaigning for more troops and a greater commitment to "winning."
Sadly, nothing has changed in Afghanistan, where Afghan civilians are being killed in NATO bombing raids that continue to demonstrate a cavalier attitude toward protecting the innocent from U.S. fighter planes. And yesterday we learned that U.S. soldiers stormed through an Afghan hospital, searching for wounded Taliban fighters and tying up hospital staff and visitors.
We were led to believe several months ago that the change in U.S. commanders in Afghanistan was due primarily to making sure our military power more responsibly and to avoid "collateral damage" in order to "win hearts and minds."
The late Supreme Court justice Hugo Black believed that "paramount among the responsibilities of a free press was the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers and foreign shots and shells." Seven years ago, however, many elements of the mainstream media helped build a consensus for war against Iraq based on falsified intelligence and devious claims about weapons of mass destruction and Iraqi links to terrorism.
The day after Secretary of State Colin Powell's calumnious speech to the United Nations making the case for war, the editorial and oped writers of the Washington Post seconded the motion and called for immediate military action. Even the most liberal Post writer, the late Mary McGrory, wrote an oped titled "I'm Persuaded," which failed to analyze the dubious claims put forth by Powell's speechwriters at the Central Intelligence Agency, led by CIA Director George Tenet and deputy director John McLaughlin.
Once again, the editorial and oped writers of the Post are making the case for an expansion of the war in Afghanistan. Armchair warriors such as Richard Cohen and Anne Applebaum in Tuesday's
Post as well as David Ignatius and Michael Gerson in recent weeks have made their pitches for war. Cohen, who is neither a student of national security nor foreign policy and regularly beat the war drums for Iraq, makes the simplest and most simple-minded argument in an oped titled "Eight Years Later and Still No Revenge."
His column used the word "revenge" six times and provides no other reason for an expanded military conflict that will cost great amounts of blood and
treasure with no real chance for success. Applebaum simplisticly believes it is up to Obama to "cajole and convince, to produce plans and evidence, to show he has gathered the best people and the most resources possible—to campaign, in other words, and campaign hard." She presents no reasons for any of this and has reduced the difficult decisions of war vs. peace to ordinary politics and politicking.
Gerson, the former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, simply believes that we have "no choice but to try," and Ignatius opts for the so-called "middle way," which demands that we "bolster our friends and bloody our enemies enough that, somewhere down the road, we can cut a deal." Gerson and Ignatius provide platitudes and bromides without addressing the essential question of whether Afghanistan (impoverished, landlocked Afghanistan) is a vital U.S. national interest that demands more American lives.
They provide no discussion of the impossible logistics situation that we face; no discussion of the impossibility of nation building where there has never been a genuine "nation;" no discussion of the Pakistan sanctuary and Pakistan support for the Taliban. (Post editorial writers would benefit greatly from reading the excellent reporting of their own staff writer in Southwest Asia, Rajiv Chandrasekaran before offering their chauvinistic opinions.)
But the Wall Street Journal, again like the run-up to the Iraq War, takes first place in making the case for an expanded war in Afghanistan. Unlike the Post, the Wall Street Journal actually turns to oped writers Michael O'Hanlon and Bruce Riedel, who have wide experience in the national security arena. Reidel, in fact, chaired President Obama's review of Afghan and Pakistani policy.
They base their case on six factors that make little sense and, in some cases, are counter-factual: the "Afghan people want success" (what does that mean?); "Afghans are still largely pro-American" (we are talking about one of the most xenophobic countries in the world); the "Afghan Army is reasonably effective" (pure fiction); the "Afghan police show some hope" (more fiction); the "economy is better" (we are talking about one of the most impoverished and tribalized countries in the world); and the "elections were not all bad" (numerous villages turned out unanimous "votes" for President Hamid Karzai in places where no one actually voted). O'Hanlon and Reidel conclude that "our strategy is not perfect yet" but some quick fixes will find "results" in 12-18 months.
Unfortunately, President Obama has not "gathered the best people" to deal with this problem and certainly doesn't have the "most resources possible." His national security team has little experience in foreign policy decision-making, let alone the difficult geopolitical terrain of Southwest Asia.
His leading policy adviser (General James Jones) and his leading intelligence advisers (Admiral Dennis Blair and Leon Panetta) were never known for profound thinking on national security; his secretary of state (Hillary Clinton) was chosen for domestic political reasons and has never demonstrated wisdom on tricky foreign policy matters; and his secretary of defense (Robert Gates) was also chosen for domestic political reasons and has already waffled on the question of more troops in Afghanistan (just as he did on the so-called troop surge in Iraq in the winter of 2006-2007).
The weakness of this team is one of the reasons why Obama has been slow to make serious policy initiatives on Russia, Iran, North Korea, and the Middle East peace process, which beg for high-level U.S. intervention.
President Bush invaded Iraq six years ago when there was no connection whatsoever between that country and American national, let alone vital, interests and now President Obama is prepared to commit greater forces and resources to Afghanistan where there is no connection between that country and American vital interests. Our only concern should be making sure that al Qaeda or some other international terrorist force does not gain a safe haven in Afghanistan; it does not require a large-scale troop presence to achieve that mission.
Sea-based air power and air bases in the Persian Gulf could contain any government in Afghanistan, even a Taliban one, and disrupt al Qaeda operations and facilities there. It's time to join the contrarian voices in asking the president not to draw the U.S. defense perimeter at the Hindu Kush.

text: 1. Graceland, USA, June 6 at 10 p.m. USA Mike (Aaron Tveit!), an ace FBI rookie, gets placed in a snazzy beachfront group house of fellow law enforcement folk, all of whom are undercover agents of a sort (FBI, DEA, Customs). They are also good-looking. Daniel Sunjata plays a badass rogue FBI guy in contrast to Mike, the straitlaced newbie. Graceland is something new and darker for USA. I liked this pilot; let's see where it goes. 2. Pretty Little Liars, ABC Family, June 11 at 8 p.m., will be paired with... ABC Family 3. ...new show Twisted, ABC Family, June 11 at 9 p.m. ABC Family If you held a gun to my head and tried to make me explain what is happening on Pretty Little Liars, you would have to kill me. Because honestly. Finnegan's Wake is less confusing. Nevertheless, I will keep trying! Twisted is another ABC Family mystery, this time revolving around a guy: Sixteen-year-old Danny (Avan Jogia), who killed his aunt (!!!!), comes back to his hometown only to immediately become a suspect in another murder. 4. Magic City, Starz, June 14 at 9 p.m. Starz This drama — about a mobbed-up Miami hotel in 1959 — is gorgeous to look at, and there are things I really like about it. There are also things I find to be weak (there's some affectless acting going on, from Jeffrey Dean Morgan's lead character on down). And yet, I got sucked into the eight-episode first season, Morgan (RIP, Denny: never forget) grew on me, and I look forward to the second. Also, Danny Huston as the scary mob villain plays a sexual freak — a fact that caused some surprising larger plot twists! 5. True Blood, HBO, June 16 at 9 p.m. HBO Sigh. True Blood. I just can't quit you. But you are almost 100% terrible at this point. Will you be better in the first season after creator Alan Ball left? A switch that then led to the new showrunner being fired midseason? I just answered my own question. See you June 16. xo 6. Inspector Lewis, PBS, June 16–30 at 9 p.m. PBS 7. And after that run, Endeavour will start, PBS, July 7–28 at 9 p.m. PBS Fellow Masterpiece Mystery nerds and seekers of the Cozy Feeling! Lewis (Kevin Whately) and Hathaway (Laurence Fox) are back. And then, with Endeavour, so is Morse. Because Endeavour (with Shaun Evans as Morse) is the Inspector Morse prequel. 8. Under the Dome, CBS, June 24 at 10 p.m. CBS I'm so, so in with this one. From the Stephen King novel. A damn town ends up under a damn dome! Really good cast (Rachelle Lefevre from the Twilight movies, Dean Norris from Breaking Bad, Samantha Mathis from where-have-you-been-Samantha-Mathis, and others). And a really good story. It's a 13-episode series that, if it does well, can continue. It's adapted by Brian K. Vaughan (comics-guy-turned-screenwriter) and Neal Baer (of ER and Law & Order: SVU for many years). The pilot is great, I thought. Damn town. Damn dome. 9. Catfish, MTV, June 25 at 10 p.m. MTV Aren't we all being catfished by watching this show? I can't figure out what or how much is faked. But I do feel like they are the Manti Te'o to our gullible public. Or maybe they're the guy who catfished Manti, and we're Manti? Whatever! It's not entirely real, is the point. But clearly people are into this show. And it is coming back for more. 10. Rizzoli & Isles, TNT, June 25 at 9 p.m. TNT Come for the Sapphic friendship of Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander), leave with…well, that's basically it. No, I'm kidding. This show has a nice pace to it, good mysteries, and a charming ensemble cast. 11. Big Brother, CBS, June 26 at 8 p.m. CBS I'm often thankful that I stopped watching Big Brother fairly early in its existence, because, frankly, I'm confident it would ruin my life now that it's basically on 24 hours a day. I'm serious. It's on CBS multiple times per week, you can look at the live feeds 24 hours a day on CBS.com, and TVGN will be showing the late-night "curated live feeds" (as the press release put it) Showtime used to broadcast. To my friends who do watch Big Brother: See you in September. 12. Dexter, Showtime, June 30 at 9 p.m., leading into... Showtime 13. ...Ray Donovan, Showtime, June 30 at 10 p.m. Showtime Even if you think you don't have room in your heart for another antihero or tough-guy show, you still will want to check out Liev Schreiber in Ray Donovan: It is good. Oh, and? Dexter begins its final season! The show has had its ups and downs, but to me, it's been mostly ups. We now take Michael C. Hall's performance for granted, but let's remember that it was not only transformative for him as an actor, but he did what didn't seem possible before this show premiered in October 2006: He made serial killer Dexter lovable. 14. The Bridge, FX, July 10 at 10 p.m. FX I haven't yet watched the pilot for this show yet. But I am still confident that it will be good. My evidence: 1) Most FX dramas are good. 2) It is based on much-praised Danish/Swedish source material. 3) Diane Kruger and Demián Bechir are in it, and both of them are excellent and deserve to be better known. 15. Camp, NBC, July 10 at 10 p.m. NBC What the hell is this show? Rachel Griffiths plays a camp director? It was filmed in Australia? What? I will watch at least one episode to see what in the world this is. Because, like I said, Rachel Griffiths is in it. 16. Orange Is the New Black, Netflix, July 11 Netflix The latest Netflix original series should be a good one. It's based on Piper Kerman's memoir (disclosure! I know Piper a little bit) about a privileged white woman who goes to prison, and it was adapted by Weeds creator Jenji Kohan. Taylor Schilling stars as Piper. All 13 episodes will appear on July 11. 17. The Newsroom, HBO, July 14 at 10 p.m. HBO I'm admitting it right here: I have really missed The Newsroom! I described my conflicted feelings about the show in our year in hate-watching roundup, if you'd like to see. In summary: I cannot wait to be fascinated/annoyed again by the Aaron Sorkin show. 18. Covert Affairs, USA, July 16 at 9 p.m., which will be followed by... USA 19. ...Suits, USA, July 16 at 10 p.m. USA I know I should watch Suits, but people, there are only so many hours in the day. I will catch up sometime. In the meanwhile, both of these USA shows return for their new seasons (Season 4 for Covert Affairs, Season 3 for Suits). 20. Web Therapy, July 23, Showtime at 11 p.m. Showtime This improvised comedy, created by Lisa Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky, and Don Roos, is only nominally on Showtime — it exists more on the internet. Wherever it is, it really is so, so funny. Read Louis Peitzman's ode to its greatness here. 21. Broadchurch, BBC America, Aug. 7 at 10 p.m. BBC This eight-episode ITV murder mystery was huge in the U.K. earlier this year, and my Daily Beast friend Jace Lacob has been raving about this show for months. (He was literally raving; it was sort of scary, you guys.) But does anything sound better than this show, with David Tennant as a detective investigating the death of an 11-year-old in a coastal town? We already know it's great from its Downton Abbey–sized ratings. (Read only the headline of that if you click on it: I'm scared there are spoilers.) Cannot wait. 22. The White Queen, Starz, Aug. 10 at 9 p.m. Starz This show is based on the best-selling Philippa Gregory novel and looks like a costume drama spectacle with lots of history that I don't know and actors like Max Irons (son of Jeremy) and James Frain and Janet McTeer. I don't really know what I mean either. It's a compliment, though. 23. Breaking Bad, AMC, Aug. 11 at 9 p.m. AMC The best show on television — IMO! — will begin its eight-episode final run on Aug. 11. I wrote a little bit about Breaking Bad last week (and posted two clips from the first half of Season 5), if you care to read about how excited and devastated I am about the show ending. 24. And that leads into Low Winter Sun, AMC, Aug. 11 at 10 p.m. AMC I saw the 2006 British miniseries that this drama, now set in Detroit (and filmed there too), is based on, and I remember it being very good. Mark Strong will reprise his lead role as a detective who gets caught up in a criminal mess of his own.

How to Knit the Seed Stitch
Seed stitch consists of single knits and purls that alternate horizontally and vertically. Seed stitch gets its name from the texture of the knitted fabric — the little purl bumps look like scattered seeds. Although a little more complicated than the garter and stockinette stitches, seed stitch creates an interesting texture and is included in many patterns.
Like garter stitch, seed stitch lies flat, making it a good edging for a sweater border and cuffs. The knitted fabric also looks the same from both sides, making it a nice choice for scarves and other pieces of which both sides are visible.
To create seed stitch:
Cast on an even number of sts.
Row 1: * K1, p1; rep from * to end of row.
Row 2: * P1, k1; rep from * to end of row.
Rep Rows 1 and 2 for pattern.
When working seed stitch, you alternate between knit and purl stitches in each row. The trick to creating the little "seeds" is to knit in the purl stitches of the previous row and purl in the knit stitches of the previous row.

... From the CBS Television Network
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN TO MAKE FIRST APPEARANCE ON "THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT" TO DISCUSS HIS FORTHCOMING AUTOBIOGRAPHY, FRIDAY, SEPT. 23
Bruce Springsteen will make his first appearance on "THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT," Friday, Sept. 23 (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. In an extended interview with Colbert, Springsteen will discuss his forthcoming autobiography, Born to Run.
Springsteen began work on his autobiography in 2009, following his performance with the E Street Band at that year's Super Bowl halftime show. In the book he describes growing up in New Jersey, his drive to become a musician, the rise of the E Street Band and more. Born to Run, published by Simon & Schuster (a division of CBS Corporation), will be released internationally on Sept. 27. "Chapter and Verse," the companion album to Springsteen's autobiography, will be released Sept. 23 on Columbia Records. The compilation album features 18 tracks, including five that are previously unreleased.
THE LATE SHOW with STEPHEN COLBERT, a production of The Late Show Inc., airs weeknights (11:35 PM-12:37 AM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Stephen Colbert, Chris Licht, Tom Purcell and Jon Stewart are the executive producers.

Errata: Timbre and Melody Features…
In the heat of the moment I've got two things wrong in my paper entitled Timbre and Melody Features for the Recognition of Vocal Activity and Instrumental Solos in Polyphonic Music. First of all I apologise to Ferdinand Fuhrmann, Perfecto Herrera and Xavier Serra for not noticing their paper
Detecting Solo Phrases in Music Using Spectral and Pitch-related Descriptors. Journal of New Music Research, 38(4), 343-356.
Hence, contrary to what we state in our paper, we are not the first ones to have tackled solo activity detection. We might still be the first ones to have done it on popular music data, and I hope that we have added some valid contributions to the task.
Secondly, there is two sentences from the original submission that I failed to delete in the camera-ready version. They are "Note, however, that the precision ranking of the individual features is different from the vocal case, where the F feature was best and the {M} and R features showed very similar performance: the method using the R feature alone is now substantially better than that of the simple MFCC feature {M}, suggesting that using the isolated timbre of the solo melody is a decisive advantage." These are not a valid interpretation of the data.

A beautiful new visitors center awaits you for your "Hoover Dam Discovery Tour," a self-guided overview of the Hoover Dam that you'll enjoy at your own pace. On the Hoover Dam Discovery Tour, you'll see---
* A movie about how this massive dam was built, and about the wonderful difference the water from Hoover Dam has made for desert agriculture and residents of the western USA.
* All sorts of exhibits, which include maps, diagrams, photos, murals, sculpture, etc.
* A viewing of the Nevada wing of the Hoover Dam's power generators, for which you'll descend 500 feet into the Black Canyon by elevator!
After enjoying the visitor's center, you'll stroll along the top of Hoover Dam, enjoying the magnificent view. Both in the visitor's center and along the dam itself, you'll find guides for asking whatever questions come into your mind---and ALSO, these guides give regularly-scheduled talks throughout the day on various topics related to Hoover Dam (also called the Boulder Dam).
If you've been on a tour of the Hoover Dam in the past, none of these activities may sound familiar to you. That's because the old Hoover Dam tour was a guided "hard hat" tour. It was a great tour, but if you've taken it, then you KNOW how long the lines used to get for this very popular tour! For a Las Vegas family attraction that gets nearly one million visitors each year (!), the line was only doomed to grow longer and longer with the passage of time.
The new visitor's center solves the "waiting forever in line" problem by letting folks start their tour whenever they arrive...and keep going at their own individual pace. PLUS the exhibit area in the new facility is MUCH larger than the old exhibit area was. If you haven't been to Hoover Dam in awhile, it's worth your time to take a brand new peek! (PLUS, there are still some hard-hat tour times available, too!)
Contact information for the Hoover Dam is---
* Hoover Dam Self-Guiding Tour Admission and Ticket Prices---Prices are current as of January, 2013:Adults (17--61), $11Seniors 62+, $9Juniors 7--16, $9Military, $9; FREE, if in uniformChildren ages 6 and under are FREE!
* Hoover Dam Parking---There's a very stylish parking structure (imagine that!) on the Nevada side of the dam which costs $7, cash only. It's very large; you'll probably find plenty of spots, even on a crowded day. However, if you're driving an RV (or if the parking garage is full,) you'll need to park in the open-air parking lots on the Arizona side of the dam. Note: while the parking garage does not accommodate RV's, our high-top camper van was able to fit in without being too tall.
* Hover Dam website: You'll want to visit the Bureau of Reclamation's web pages for the Hoover Dam Tour details. See the
Hoover Dam tour web page here.
Located in Henderson, NV (about 1/2 hour's drive from the Las Vegas Strip,) this popular self-guided tour is popular with all ages; kids, teens and adults all seem to enjoy the tour equally (ESPECIALLY the free samples!)
The Ethel M self-tour is free of charge; so is the adjacent cactus garden self-tour. Both are open daily. However, no candy is made on Saturdays and Sundays. If you arrive at a time when no candy is being molded, decorated or boxed, however, you can view videos of the process (which are available any time during Ethel M's open hours.)
Two different gift shops are available on the premises; one for M & M's related items and another yummy-smelling shop where Ethel M candies are sold. The shop also features a snack bar and items for those interested mainly in the cactus garden, as well.
On weekends throughout the Christmas holidays, Santa Claus comes to greet the children visiting the Ethel M Christmas Wonderland...and strolling carols make the scene festive with their renditions of favorite Christmas holiday tunes. Note: if you'd like to learn about other good places to view Christmas decorations in Vegas, please see our Las Vegas Christmas Lights page.
Practical info for the Ethel M Chocolate Factory Tour---
* Ethel M Chocolate Factory address---2 Cactus Garden DriveHenderson, Nevada 89105
* Directions to the Ethel M Chocolate Factory Tour---The Ethel M address at "2 Cactus Garden Drive" isn't much help---Cactus Garden Drive is so short that it only shows up as a tiny speck on a road map of Las Vegas! Instead, remember that the Ethel M Candy Factory is at the intersection of Sunset Road and Mountain Vista. (Those streets you CAN easily find on a map!) Sunset Road is a major street running through Henderson; in fact, it runs all the way from Henderson, NV clear through to Las Vegas Blvd. From Las Vegas Blvd, go east on Sunset Road; from spots in Henderson, such as the Galleria Mall, or the HUGH Henderson Auto Mall, go west on Sunset Road. When you get to the light at Mountain Vista, go 1/2 block on Sunset Way to get to the Ethel M candy factory and cactus garden.
* Map to Ethel M Candy Tour: Here's a link to
a map of the Ethel M Candy Factory in Henderson, Nevada.
Some of Henderson, Nevada's factory tours have closed. We used to "make a day of it" by enjoying all of the factory tours in the Henderson area. Sadly, though, the other tours are no longer in operation. They were the Kidd Marshmallow Factory tour and the Cranberry World West factory tour. These were very interesting tours, and it's sad that these fun, family attractions are no longer available. People searching for the Kidd Marshmallow Factory and Cranberry World West still reach this page every month--and we're so sorry to have to break the bad news to them!
You can't miss spotting the M & M's World building. Its exterior facade is outlandishly fitted with giant decorations! Inside, you'll find 4 floors worth of M & M's products on which to feast your eyes!
The star attraction of the M & M's World is a free 3D movie presentation. (However, it hasn't been in operation either of the 2 times that I've been there, so I didn't get to see it.)
Even if the 3D movie isn't operating, the off-the-top, whimsical M & M's merchandise itself can keep you entertained for at least an hour, easily! You'll see M & M's stuffed "animals," M & M's figurines, M & M's race cars, M & M's clothing for men, women, children and babies, M & M mugs, all sorts of whimsical M & M's dispensers...and OF COURSE, the real M & M's chocolate candy around which all this other merchandise is based!
You'll see M & M's in all the colors of the rainbow! You'll find M & M's gift packs of all types, and appealing to people with different sorts of interests.
Can't wait to see all these cute M & M's products? For your convenience, here's a link to
the M & M's official website!
If you pay a visit to the M & M's World on the Las Vegas Strip, you'll surely want to take in the other family attractions in the immediate area. It's only steps away from the free MGM Grand Lion Habitat, and across the street from 2 other family attractions: the giant New York New York roller coaster, and the fun Excalibur Hotel's game arcade. Families can spend the better part of a day enjoying these various activities centered around the Las Vegas Blvd/Tropicana intersection!Helpful Links:   Family-Vacation-Getaways.com HOME ::   Latest News ::   Privacy Policy ::   Advertising Policy & Disclosures ::

"Biological diversity is the key to the maintenance of the world as we know it."
~ E.O. Wilson, Biodiversity
The National Wildlife Federation's new GrowWild website incorporates Dr. Doug Tallamy's data on the number of species of butterflies and moths that use various native plants as larval hosts into a searchable database that is user friendly.
This is very attractive, and focuses on species that are useful in landscaping circumstances with the intent to encourage people to select native plant species that support lots of species of butterflies and moths, with additional benefits to the extended food chain. The website requests your zipcode and then provides plant species and number of lepidopteran species supported according to your local area. They have plans to expand to pollinators, at least to include bees, in the future as data are available.

Are You Serious?
Bavarian is a garbage company in my county. Forget, for the moment, that they have a German name and were founded in the 1930's and were thus probably Nazi sympathizers. What I want to talk about is that fantastically ridiculous slogan.
"Dedicated to Serving God and Country." Really? You're a WASTE MANAGEMENT COMPANY for crying out loud! God is served when you dump my dripping, stinking, garbage into a LAND FILL somewhere? Which God? The God of Garbage and Filth?
And what country are you serving? You picking up the trash from Congress? If so, next time take Rand Paul with you. THERE'S someone whose presence buried under two tons of landfill would serve God.
But seriously, which country are you serving? Your name is Bavarian, a state in Germany, and your logo is the Bavarian Alps. And you were founded the exact same year Hitler became der Fuhrer in Germany. Coincidence? You decide.
In the meantime, I use Rumpke.

Claremont, Calif., May 19, 2014 – The No. 9-ranked Washington University in St. Louis women's tennis team ended its season with a 5-1 loss to top-ranked Emory University Monday in the quarterfinals of the 2014 NCAA Division III Championship in Claremont, Calif.
Washington U. concluded the season with a 19-6 overall, the most wins for the program since finishing 20-5 in the 2003-04 season. The Bears were making their second-straight and third overall appearance in the NCAA Quarterfinals.
"We knew we were playing the No. 1 team in the country and needed to bring our best game to compete with them," said Washington U. head coach Kelly Stahlhuth. "We got here for a reason and we knew we could compete and gave it our best."
Emory (26-2) quickly jumped in front 2-0 with a pair of doubles wins at No. 1 (8-2) and No. 2 (8-1). The Bears prevented the sweep as senior Betsy Edershile and junior Hanna Newstadt posted an 8-6 win at No. 3 doubles over Brenna Kelly and Katarina Su to trim the lead to 2-1. The win for Edershile and Newstadt improved their overall record to 18-3, while the loss for Kelly and Su was just their second this season (6-2). The duo from Emory had dropped just seven games in their last five matches.
"The whole team decided that we needed to come out swinging for doubles. Hanna and I came in and really wanted to win that match," Edershile said.
Emory, who is unbeaten against NCAA Division III opponents this season in 18 matches, posted wins at No. 1 (6-0, 6-0), No. 3 (6-0, 6-0) and No. 5 singles (6-0, 6-1) to secure it school-record 26th victory of the season.
Sophomore Jamie Silverberg will represent Washington U. in the NCAA Singles Championship, while freshman Rebecca Ho and senior Corinne Rauck were one of 16 teams selected to the NCAA Doubles Championship. First-round action begins Thursday at 10:30 a.m. (PT).
1. Gabrielle Clark/Michelle Satterfield (Emory) def. Rebecca Ho/Corinne Rauck (WASHUW) 8-2
2. Beatrice Rosen/Madison Gordon (Emory) def. Aly Coran/Jamie Silverberg (WASHUW) 8-1
3. Betsy Edershile/Hanna Newstadt (WASHUW) def. Brenna Kelly/Katarina Su (Emory) 8-6
1. Gabrielle Clark (Emory) def. Jamie Silverberg (WASHUW) 6-0, 6-0
2. Rebecca Ho (WASHUW) vs. Michelle Satterfield (Emory) 7-5, 1-1, unfinished
3. Beatrice Rosen (Emory) def. Aly Coran (WASHUW) 6-0, 6-0
4. Melissa Goodman (Emory) vs. Theresa Petraskova (WASHUW) 6-1, 5-2, unfinished
5. Madison Gordon (Emory) def. Betsy Edershile (WASHUW) 6-0, 6-1
6. Katarina Su (Emory) vs. Corinne Rauck (WASHUW) 6-0, 5-1, unfinished
• Washington U. is 11-15 all-time in the NCAA Championship.
• It marked the second time WUSTL and Emory have met in the NCAA Championship
• Emory has won all 19 meetings all-time against Washington U., including a 5-0 win in the last meeting in 2013.
• Washington U. finished 10-5 against ranked teams this season.
• Ho and Rauck had their nine-match winning streak snapped at No. 1 doubles.
• The Bears trailed after doubles just six times this season, finishing 2-4 in those matches.
• The Bears' senior class posted a 66-28 (.702) record in four seasons on the Danforth Campus.
• Senior Theresa Petraskova finished her career tied for 11th on the WUSTL all-time wins list (114), while Rauck is 18th (106) and Edershile tallied 96 career victories.

Técnicas computacionais inteligentes para a inferência de estado e a otimização de cultivos de Streptococcus pneumoniae
Horta, Antonio Carlos Luperni
MetadataShow full item record
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococo) is a pathogenic bacterium that causes several infections which are aggravated by the increase of serotypes with antibiotics resistance. The development of an effective vaccine against this pathogen is crucial for the prevention of the neumococcal illnesses. Conjugated vaccines, consisting of the capsular polysaccharide joined to a carrier protein, are more efficient in the stimulation of the immunologic memory. The capsular polysaccharide (PS) is present in the capsule that involves the cell. Thus, the conjugated vaccine elaboration involves bacterial cells cultivation for its production. As the organism is cultivated in the oxygen absence, the lactate production is inevitably high, leading to growth inhibition due to lactate accumulation in the medium. To minimize the inhibitory effects of the lactate accumulation and to increase the PS production it is necessary to monitor the process and adequately control the addition of supplementary medium along with the withdrawal of saturated medium. This kind of operation can be performed by carrying out a fed-bath cultivation in a bioreactor connected to a perfusion system. The success on the monitoring, control and optimization of this bioprocess depends on the efficiency of the modeling and simulation resources employed. This research work considers the uses intelligent computational techniques, specifically the technique of heuristical search called simulated annealing (SA) combined with neural networks for the state inference and the optimization of S. pneumoniae cultivations. The proposal was implemented as a computational system that: a) uses the SA for the identification of the values for a set of parameters associated to unstructured models and; b) uses neural networks (individually and grouped as a committee) for the state inference of a culture. The work presents and discusses the results of the system for data sets experimentally obtained and highlights the importance of the proposal for achieving a higher efficiency in the culture control processes.

I have just bought an apartment and already got a fire insurance, why should I buy another home insurance namely SmartHome Optimum?
Home insurance is different from fire insurance. Our SmartHome Optimum insurance protects home contents such as furniture, domestic appliances, altered decoration like fixtures and fittings, personal belongings and even the frozen food in your fridge.
Fire insurance covers the building structure such as walls, windows, ceiling, floor, pipes and the property's original fixtures and fittings, but not your home contents.
The two insurance plans are complementary. For comprehensive protection you should consider buying both.
Scenario 1: Interior decoration is provided by the developer
If the interior decoration is provided by the developer, it is considered as the original structure of a building and should be covered under your fire insurance.
Scenario 2: Interior decoration has been altered by you
Any interior decoration altered by you are regarded as home contents and will be covered by SmartHome Optimum.
If you are a tenant, any interior decoration done by the landlord should be covered by the home insurance owned by the landlord, unless it is specified in the tenancy agreement that you are responsible for it. If the improvement work is paid by you, then your SmartHome Optimum will protect you from the damage of such.
Scenario 3: Interior decoration is bought from the developer at additional cost as a package
It is similar to scenario 2 but you need to provide evidence on the extra cost you paid to the developer to prove that such work is commissioned by you.
Our home insurance SmartHome Optimum provides cover for accidental loss of or damage to your domestic appliances on a 'New for Old' basis, regardless of their age, meaning that they will be replaced by a new article of the same kind with similar but not better quality without any deduction for depreciation.
If a water pipe in your home accidentally bursts, our SmartHome Optimum will cover the damages to your home contents. In case your home becomes not fit to live in temporarily, we will pay for the cost of your alternative accommodation.
If the pipe is your own improvement but not the original structure, the relevant repair cost will also be covered.
In addition, if the water from the burst pipe damages the property of your neighbour, such as the apartment downstairs, we will cover your liability for such damage.
SmartHome Optimum states that if my home is unoccupied for more than 30 consecutive days, it will not be covered. How do you defined 'unoccupied'?
'Unoccupied' means not lived in by you or any person authorised by you.
All amounts are in Hong Kong Dollars.

The Music from Ruby 4
RUBY 4 is eight hours long, there's hardly a moment without music. The composer, Tim Clark, has selected what he considers the best from each of the four stories, The Moon Coins of Santo Lore, The Turban of El Morya, Dark Night of the Reptoids, and Mad Moon for Rubina.
We're delighted to finally be able to offer this, because there's so much wonderful music in Ruby 4.

Fun at the Grocery
The fresh category on the shop floor continues to lead; it serves as the business card of the advanced retail outlets. The more sophisticated a country market is, the more you will find the fresh produce section right at the entrance of the shop and additional effort is spent presenting an image of freshness, naturalness, wellness and choice. Undoubtedly, the space that the fresh category takes up in shops is on the rise.
Why would this be? I came up with three reasons: 1. we are influenced by how this section is laid out. If it looks clean and attractive, we intuitively apply this image to the remainder of the store and how it is managed. 2. we make a trip to a store more often to buy perishable rather than non-perishable items. The fresh food displayed, serves as a frequent and open invitation to enter – ideally every day. 3. The margin to the store for this category (i.e., fresh food) is considerable higher than for the non-perishable items. Something I did not realize until I had a discussion with a retail expert.
Because of its impact on consumers and brand value, this section of the store is likely to change even more in the future. Some of the leading stores are already taking this theme further: they create a sense of freshness, naturalness, choice, personalization and convenience for the shopper. It is retailers' attempt to turn the whole shopping process into a positive and fun experience. For example, in-store cooking gives consumers the opportunity to choose from a broad selection of inviting products presented unpacked and displayed like at your own local market, which the Chef will freshly prepare for you. Either you can take the dish home or consume it right there in an attractive setting together with other customers. Retailers are achieving the desired effect: I do something good when I shop, it's healthy and it's a fun experience.
Head of Vegetable Seeds at Bayer
And it's not only inside the shop where things are changing; I recently paid a visit to one of the lighthouse new type retail outlets in my neighborhood. I entered the parking area, and was positively surprised: wide parking spaces! What a pleasure when you do not get irritated by all the other foolish car owners that take 1.5 space (you and I would obviously never do it!), and you can open your doors wide for convenient exit, but even better for stress-free loading. I then go to a close-by shed to get a cart and here is another smart surprise: the handles feel like those of a sophisticated race bike, allowing horizontal and vertical grip. Somebody close by remarks: Super! My handbag will not fall off any more. Well, well, well, little details count!
Another growing trend is online grocery shopping. I wonder how fast it will increase. The basic principles mentioned above are the same (freshness, naturalness, choice, personalization and convenience): same day or 24 hour delivery. They often include traceability info, product recommendations on the basis of either your own shopping behaviors or like-minded people, and enclosed recipes. Those who choose this option enjoy all the diverse offers and services made available close to real time in the comfort of their own home. I can already imagine what will follow: personalization of your on-line product recommendations, not only on the basis of your own consumption behavior but on your body data (wearables, etc.). All these data could drive very different loyalty schemes establishing a more direct and stronger connection between nutrition and health.
Simultaneously another trend is developing: growing it yourself. A part of the population always grew their own produce, now it's becoming trendy again but it involves much younger folks than traditionally. Obviously, it cannot get more local then this. My youngest son has "rented" a piece of land from a former farmer together with some fellow students. They not only grow food themselves (that still amazes me – a few years back a lot of creativity was invested to avoid even entering the garden, when dad was DIY) but also have access to the products in the farm store on a flat fee basis. Here again, the grocery shops are already picking up on this theme. The first concepts for in-store growing are appearing. Shoppers pick up their lettuce right from the shelf. Amazing, no more middle man!
All of the above have a great side effect: we will eat and consume more consciously and the demand for healthy food will continue to increase. The category that will benefit most from it is vegetables and fruits. At least this is what I conclude. I'm very pleased with this very positive trend I observe – not because of our vegetable seed and horticulture business, but as a customer. I anticipate the topic will remain hot and I'm convinced we will see many changes impacting the path that food travels from the farm to our tables.

Happiness is celebrating Holi festival
Holi is the festival during which mind and body, both play wicked games. I didn't actually play with colors, but just a small smudge of red color was rubbed on my throat. My sister felt that I needed to stain my body some place.
But during my walk in my lane, I saw children playing happily with colors and water balloons, some men, too drunk to walk on their own, swayed, fell, wobbled with support and then there were group of young people gyrating to the loud music of Bollywood numbers.
The main idea is to enjoy. For me it was a day to celebrate with my family and enjoy my favorite meals of pulav, greens and deep fried brinjal.
So here I am, with the project of '100 Happy Days'I am posting pictures each day here on my blog then sharing the link on my page on FB too. You can enjoy my work either here or on my page at FB at Pushee's World

A second post today, but it is kind of important for me to keep track of health stuff and sometimes the days from all melt together. It has been quite a week with doctor appointments.
Today I had a second opinion sort of visit with my former, non-Kaiser endocrinologist about my thyroid tests and readings. I was afraid my very green family doctor at Kaiser was not quite experienced enough to be prescribing for this problem and I wanted a consult with someone I trust and who specializes in this sort of issue.
So glad I did … worth every red cent of the fee I paid out of pocket.
He reviewed my labs and ordered additional bloodwork as well as an ultrasound on my thyroid. While it's going to cost me slightly more money to not use my insurance, it's worth the $23 more to have him reviewing my labs and ultrasound results. An endocrinologist should be examining and diagnosing any abnormalities in my thyroid function anyway, and he is far more conservative with medication if that is warranted, which he is presently not sure in this case. That alone made it worth the cost of the consultation.
We also had a discussion about my diabetes management – he is very, very pleased that I have done so well and continued to improve with the exercise and better, healthier eating habits. That my A1c so firmly in the normal range and that I continue to be well controlled without medication is inspiring, he wishes even half his patients would try some of what I have been doing. That is always so nice to hear, particularly from someone I like and respect as a medical professional.
As for battling my weight, did I realize I was down 18 lbs. since the last time I had been in to see him? Ummm no, apparently not and thank you! In his view, controlling my blood sugar and managing my diabetes is highest priority, and now that I have done that, working on my weight goal does make sense, but for him it is not necessarily the imperative it was when I was on insulin and other diabetes control medications. My weight is not "fine" from a BMI or standardized weight chart, but the fact is that I am dropping weight slowly via a better eating habits and steady, consistent exercise. There could be something amiss with my thyroid that will require attention and intervention. That I am not gaining weight could also mean my thyroid is wonky yet functional, and that it simply takes more time and more effort to rehabilitate my metabolism. Either way, my lifestyle changes are very worthwhile and I am heading in the right direction.
Until he actually said that, I had not realized how disturbed and lower level worried I have been that there might be something else really wrong with me. On the one hand it would have been good to have a specific reason and cause for not shedding lots of weight yesterday, but it is somehow more relieving to know that this is just the way my body and system works and it will happen in time if I continue doing the work. I would rather not become obsessed about the scale, and I would really rather not have anything medically necessary wrong with my thyroid function. Yes, thyroid results require additional tests and continued monitoring, but medicating for it is serious business. He would much rather not start me on medication for it if at all possible.
And since we were discussing medication, there are apparently prescription drugs to help with weight loss, but he is reluctant to give them to me at this time. I have gone back and forth about asking about or for them, and in truth at the end of the day, I think I would rather continue on my present trajectory and see where it takes me next. It is encouraging that he thinks I am doing an excellent job with my health, my non-Kaiser primary thinks I am fine and on the right track, and it is only Kaiser as a whole that is obsessed with the scale yet seemingly unwilling to offer any further solutions to make me get thinner faster.
And there is apparently no medical urgency to my getting thinner faster. I am already doing the right things – I exercise daily, eat majority of real (versus processed) foods, drink plenty of water, get adequate amounts of sleep. The rest is time and patience. All my other health markers are good – cholesterol readings are well into the normal ranges and I do not suffer from high blood pressure or anything else.
So really, what am I worried about? I have no idea. Healthy eating, eat more protein is an ongoing work in progress, but in no way, shape, or form am I failing or even falling behind. The crazy making is coming from sources well outside my village realm, and I need to push that shit back and turn off that white noise.
All in all, I feel infinitely better about things. I have long felt happier and healthier, now with good reason and the atta-girl backing of doctors I trust.

|Ben Cohen visit
World Cup Rugby Star Ben Cohen MBE visited the Safety Centre on 24 May 2012.
As part of the UK Launch of his charity, he met some very excited children from Eastfield Primary School whose visit was funded by a grant from the Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation.
The Ben Cohen StandUp Foundation is the world's first foundation dedicated to raising awareness of the long-term, damaging effects of bullying, and funding those doing real-world work to stop it.
"We are very pleased to support an innovative project such as Hazard Alley, at the Safety Centre in Milton Keynes. We are particularly passionate about the Internet Safety element, which helps improve young people's awareness of the dangers of chat-room banter and what constitutes cyber bullying," Ben Cohen.
The children learn life-skills, which will remain with them throughout their lives. The Safety Centre promotes strategies to help children deal with bullying alongside many other safety messages in a unique experiential way.
The children of Eastfield Primary School sent Ben some thank you letters which you can view by clicking the links below.

Throughout the centuries, different types of institutional policies towards Roma impede their development and emancipation. Variety of policies were ranged from forbidding the Roma language to persecutions as well as mass evictions and revival of anti-Roma racism in the latest of our time. All these practices and policies primarily had an ultimate aim to extinguish the Roma cultures or fix them in accordance to the needs of the majoritarian societies. In the last three decades, the existing mainstream institutions endorsed a model of assimilation for integrating the minorities through the system of education and promotion of the state culture as a convergence between minorities and the majority.
However, Roma survived and during the years developed a "strategy of survival" often through hiding or denial of their identity. Up until a recent period, Roma have been defined by non-Roma from different perspectives. As the Romani scholar Ian Hancock (2002) once said that when a community loses a sense of its own history, when you cannot tell people where you came from, it's open season for outsiders to construct and define your identity. Or in the case of Roma as Mihai Surdu claims "Roma have been subjected to a variety of scientific practices such as counting, classifying, demographic predictions, mapping, photographing, and DNA profiling"[1] he also adds that "all these practices are part and parcel of a trained vision that itself needs to be observed."[2] In this regard, we are witnessing a undignified representation of Roma cultural values in academic research which in the last decade managed to (re)construct from a distorted interpretations, being far from the Roma reality, yet, strong enough to "define" who Roma are, what Romani identity is.
