As Hurricane Harvey continues to wreak havoc on Houston, Texas, celebrities have band together to used their platform to raise awareness and funds to provide relief to the countless displaced families under water.
Kevin Hart was among one of the first celebrities to challenge his peers to make a donation of $25,000 to the cause of their choice. Stars like The Rock, Diddy, Chris Brown and more joined in pledging respective amounts. Despite his heartfelt intentions, Hart faced backlash from those who seemingly felt his challenge was self-serving.
Master P recorded a video addressing Kevin Hart's challenge, calling it unnecessary. "I'm blessed that Kevin Hart made a donation, but I feel like he don't have to do that because it's not necessary. A lot of people gon' do what they want to do. It's they money. We made a senaptous [sic] donation. It really don't matter what it is long as you giving from your heart. I don't think you have to do that with other people. Just let them give from their heart."
The New Orleans rapper then took to Instagram to clarify his statements, which may have actually made it worse.

We love Houston! Houston helped my people during hurricane Katrina. They opened their arms to families from New Orleans. I probably was the first to donate. I gave a lot but it's no need to talk about it. Giving is a blessing, if you can give then give! Your blessing will come back from God. I have nothing against Kevin Hart. Don't get it twisted with a TMZ sound bite. Hurricane Harvey has devastated Houston and the surrounding areas. Families need food water clothing shelter and it might take at least 10 years to rebuild. Please Go & Volunteer now in Houston, it could be monetary or it could be your time. You can make a difference whether it's big or small. It's not a race it's a marathon we're going to need your help more than once. There's gonna be water damage, mold & mildew and health care problems once family's get back into their homes. 85% of Houston doesn't have flood insurance So thats another Battle! The kids are going to need to get back in school. Most of the elderly have lost everything. We need people to be there When The Cameras LEAVE. We love Houston! We don't need problems or negativity right now! We need prayers and solutions. #HelpHouston
"I have nothing against Kevin Hart," he said. "Houston is my second home. I'm probably one of the first to give. I gave a lot of money but I don't have to sit around and talk about it. And I don't need no celebrity tell me what I need to do."
Kevin has since raised over one million for Hurricane Harvey evacuees.
Does it really matter if someone chooses to publicly make a donation to a needing cause or do you agree with Master P?

Hi folks, how are things today? I hope all things are fine, it is Martha R. Haney here. Today I want to share to you these handful of 0 lovely images related to the main topic of bedroom furniture design.
If you want to redecorate your personal master bedroom straight into a gorgeous suite, make sure you set up a master plan to begin with. The trick is to make a decent combination among master bedroom along with other areas like bathroom etc. You could use color, fabrics, as well as patterns in order to unify each of the aspects and thus binding your bedroom as well as other spots so that they can cooperate into a particular incorporated style and design. As an illustration, in case your bedroom is swathed in flower materials, it is recommended to keep this concept into the bathroom curtains, as well as carry those principle for some other bedroom ornaments. You may as well share the accessories between your bedroom and shower to create the bedroom atmosphere on the bathroom.
If you're planning on having a baby, make sure to put aside a room nearby the master suite to secure your infant. This is really important as you do not want to need to step quite a distance to get at your baby during the night when he or she is moping and crying. And also by having your newborn baby bedroom round the corner, you can make sure that you could have significantly better supervision to the baby's issue in case of urgent situation.

Brazil on Brazil
What is Brazil's view of itself, of its role, and of its relationship to other nations? Leslie Bethell, senior scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center, contextualized the question by tracing Brazil's historic policy of seeking a strong relationship with the United States while eschewing close ties with its South American neighbors. Bethell concluded that beginning with Cardoso (1995-2002), and increasing under Lula (2003-present), Brazil has not only expanded involvement within global affairs, but for the first time engaged substantially with its neighbors in South America—rather than the broader Latin America or the United States.
Minister Achilles Zaluar of the Brazilian Embassy in Washington detailed some of the many historical reasons behind Brazil's traditional distance from its Latin American neighbors and why Brazil's ties to the United States cooled after the "unwritten alliance" period in the first half of the 20th century. After WWII, the United States' almost exclusive focus on the reconstruction of Europe and Japan forced Brazil to rely more on itself and rediscover itself as a Latin American nation, and it began to forge closer relationships to its neighbors, as evidenced by recent political and economic integrationist projects.
Matias Spektor, professor of international relations at Fundação Getúlio Vargas and visiting fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, traced Brazil's hesitance to align with the United States and its reluctance to lead the region back to the Cold War period. Due to the cooperation of the various South American bureaucratic-authoritarian regimes to help combat leftists within the region, Brazilian leaders changed course from a balance-of-power strategy to a pursuit of regional leadership through bandwagoning that could increase Brazil's international stature.
Looking at recent history, Montague Burton, Professor of International Relations at Oxford University Andrew Hurrell, argued that beginning with Cardoso the perception has grown that Brazil has finally assumed its place as global and regional leader. This leadership, however, was neither historically inevitable nor is it unqualified. Brazil only consolidated its predominate role in the region through a rapprochement with Argentina in the 1980s, and today it lacks the resources to strengthen regional ties to the point that it would be the uncontested leader of Latin America.
Thomaz Guedes da Costa, professor of National Security Affairs at the National Defense University, argued that Brazil's foreign policy future course may be determined more by Brazil's position in the international system than by the winner of the upcoming presidential election. Having forged closer ties with many world powers and signed international agreements like the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, Brazil's decision-makers may have less leeway in the direction of Brazil's foreign policy.
Brazil within Latin America
Michael Penfold, associate professor at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Administration (IESA) in Caracas, argued that Venezuela has not challenged Brazil's increasing leadership, but rather has benefited from it, especially due to recent economic integration and as a manner of counter-balancing the U.S.'s influence. Because Venezuela relies more on Brazil than vice versa, however, if Brazilian and Venezuelan interests begin to diverge, Venezuela would suffer more.
South American integration rest upon a solid Argentine-Brazilian political alliance, insisted Dante Caputo, special advisor of the Secretary General of the Organization of American States and former foreign minister of Argentina. After relations between the two nations were severely strained during Menem's presidency (1989-1999), Caputo argues that political will, not more regional institutions, will be the key to rebuilding bilateral relations.
Brazilian-Bolivian relations center on the friendship between Lula and Morales, insisted Global Leaders Fellow at the University of Oxford George Gray Molina. This friendship helped soothe tensions between the two countries following Morales' nationalization of Petrobras-owned plants, and can be used to further exert Brazilian regional leadership through a multinational counter-narcotics strategy.
Arlene B. Tickner, professor of international relations at Colombia's Universidad de los Andes, argued that Brazil needs both to take on a more active role vis-à-vis Colombia's internal conflict and to stand up to Chávez's troublemaking. Despite a historical mutual invisibility, the two countries began to pursue closer relations in the early 2000s; this progress, however, now seems threatened by disagreements over guerilla movements in Colombia and the role of Chavez in the region.
Brazil's Relations with Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean
Olga Pellicer, professor of international studies at Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México, argued that Mexico is crucial to any efforts of Brazil to become the regional leader. Despite tension over NAFTA and restrictions of regional integration to just South America, Calderón and Lula have recently attempted to increase the low levels of trade between the two countries. Mexican support could give Brazil the influence it needs to lead the region more effectively, but this would require overcoming serious political disagreements.
Arturo Cruz, Jr of INCAE Business School argued that one must disaggregate Central America in order to truly understand the extent of Brazil's influence there. Lula's leadership is pronounced in El Salvador, where he has brought President Funes into the social-democratic left (rather than Chavez's radical left), than in Honduras or Nicaragua, where Brazilian influence is less pronounced and contested by Venezuela.
Brazil's regional leadership in the Caribbean is primarily economic, explained Johanna Mendelson Forman, senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, but it has been politically involved as well. Cuba is also a useful political ally for Brazil, helping to increase its clout in Latin America and Brazil's bid for a seat on the UN Security Council. Furthermore, Haiti has given Brazil an opportunity to exercise its new leadership, as it has played a predominant role in the 2004 multinational intervention in Haiti.
Brazil as Viewed by the United States
The United States has always perceived Brazil as a regional power, insisted Christopher McMullen, deputy assistant secretary of state for the Western Hemisphere, and has welcomed its recent assent on the global state; in fact, the U.S. would like Brazil to take even more leadership in helping to solve regional problems that the U.S. cannot tackle alone.
By contrast, Riordan Roett, director of Western Hemisphere Studies at Johns Hopkins University School, argued that the U.S. has been slow to comprehend Brazil's transformation into an economic and political power. Due to Brazil's growing energy sector, the U.S. needs to adjust to this new autonomy or else risk losing its influence in Brasília.
President of the Inter-American Dialogue Peter Hakim pointed out that historically relations between the two nations have been marked by tensions rather than cooperation. He suggested that starting from an assumption of divergence on key issues, and then seeking rapprochement, would be a more productive approach for working together.

Civilizing Globalization: A Survival Guide
Many citizens suspect that the ecological, social, cultural, and political costs of free-market globalization are too high. Yet at the same time they often lack the technical knowledge to assess complex proposals intended to deal with these issues. Written by a uniquely diverse group of academics, policy analysts, and activists, Civilizing Globalization presents in clear, non-technical language the dangers of unfettered global markets, as well as a new vision of globalization regulated to respect social and ecological needs. The contributors show that it is morally and practically imperative to begin thinking about how to deal with this crisis. While no one book can provide a single comprehensive and integrated plan, this volume gives direction and highlights the issues that will be debated for years to come.

On how to arouse atmosphere of English Classes in Primary School 姓名:_____陈 语 婧____________ 单位: 澳门永利4427aaacom ___ 电话: 15883218311________________ On how to arouse atmosphere of English Classes in Primary School Abstract: As a tool subject, English plays a important role in the process of learning .Vocabulary, Phrase, Sentences and Grammar should not become burden of students, or a kind of torture .Following the principle of "The analysis of New Curriculum standard": learning for using, using by learning", we can be aware that the key of foreign language teaching is to guide the students to use English in daily communication appropriately .Examination is a measure for reflection only. (New curriculum Standard) This thesis is designed to explore how to use atmosphere of English classes in Primary School. Individual differences and interests, Affection attitudes, Substance Recording forms, modern teaching aids, even the teachers' personal appeals are emphasized in English classes .By using these methods, we aim to establish an active atmosphere to facilitate students' language learning, and emphasize their language acquisition. Through the study, we aim to build up a new perspective of foreign language teaching. All the things we do are around the students' future life-time learning. By arousing active atmosphere to build the bridge for mutual-helped cooperation relationship, and both teachers and students can benefit from the teaching and interaction. Key words: Affection attitudes; Mutual-helped learning; Diminish psychological stress; Establish acquisition environment 1.Introduction: I'm an English teacher in Dongshan School . My students are in Grade Five . Our students are from different schools of defferent cities . Some are from Chengdu which of them have learned English for five years . Some are from countryside which of them don't have any foundation in English . Though the study, we aim to form a harmonious mutual-helped relationship between teachers and students though create a positive atmosphere in English Classes, both students and teachers can benefit from the active classroom atmosphere. 2.Problem All the time, the atmosphere influence the quality of English teaching, so how to break the silence is an unavoidable problem to all the English teachers . At present, the English teaching in the primary school meet one general problem :If there is no game in class , students rarely answer the teacher's question. Even simple problems they are unwilling to say, they always like to sit in the back of the classroom, and they do not want to communicate with teachers, which have led to the dull class. 3: Problem Analysis "Class atmosphere is a kind of social affective atmosphere, mainly refers to the motion state of class group. It can affect the team spirits and values of class group, and inside world of every student. For a huge influence it has, so it can facilitate the class to achieve a better learning result."(Fu Daichun,1999.6:303-304) How does class atmosphere facilitate the class to achieve a better result? Analysises from different aspects about this problem are as follows: 3.1Analytic method Through careful analysis, I was led to a series of questions: For instance, I found a majority of my students do not like doing this assignment, and I wanted to know why it should be the case, and whether they thought it important and necessary to arouse atmosphere of English Classes or not . If they thought it important and necessary, the problem was actually caused by myself, not by my students. Probably the atmosphere I give to my class was poorly. 3.2Cause analysis In this situation, I asked myself a series of questions and tried to provide some answers to them. Why did some of my students do not like English class? In order to know more about this issue, I designed a cause exploration procedure like this. Questions/ Answers ? Is it because they do not like English? (Maybe.) ? Is it because the English lessons are poorly designed? (Maybe.) ? Is it because they are not motivated? (Possibly yes.) ? Is it because my instructions are not clear? (Maybe.) ? Is it because they do not like to practice English alone? (Maybe.) ? Is it because they have lots of other things to do? (Yes.) ? Is it because they do not think the atmosphere of English classes are important and necessary? (Maybe.) ? Is it because they have some difficulties unsolved by themselves? (Yes.) 3.3Questionnaire survey I made a pilot(试用) investigation in this respect to know more about the situation. For this purpose, I designed a questionnaire survey to find out why they rarely answer the teacher's question in the class . I intended to get more detailed, more exact opinions from all the students through questionnaire. And I tried to make it as scientific and effective as possible. At first I prepared for the lessons by many ways : music, pictures, communicative practices and so on . I asked four students who were of different English levels to try out the questionnaire. Then I modified some of the items. After that I gave the modified questionnaire to my students and gave them fifteen minutes to finish it. All of them, thirty-seven students, returned their questionnaires which were left anonymous. When all these data came in, I made some statistical evaluation. The results showed that over 60% of the students thought that if they study in a boring atmosphere , they couldn't focus their attentions on the English class and that about 73% of them thought arouse the atmosphere was very necessary for their English learning. Therefore I thought the students were clear about the importance and necessity of atmosphere in English class. But they might have to deal with difficulties that they could not overcome, so they lost their confidence and interest. 4: Project Objectives The characteristics of English teaching in primary school is to emphasize speaking and listening . Develop the students' interests and abilities by using the ways of listening, speaking, reading, writing and singing. Lay a good foundation for the English learning of the future. Therefore, in order to achieve quality education, and help children to learn English easily, We must arouse atmosphere of English Classes, so that students could learn English in a relaxed environment. 5: Project Hypothesis Considering the age factors of the students , funny teaching( like using music ,cards and so on) is a good way to solve the problem . 6: Project Rationale B?A?Cyxomjnhcknn said: "Any good teacher, he must be a teacher who is good at making the students be interested in his class, and making his own class to be attractive." Quality education and innovation in education requires students to learn how to learn, and its essence is to make learning become students' self-exploration and discovery, students' hands-on activities, rather than passive recipients of knowledge. For English classes to live , arouse atmosphere of English Classes is a good way. " the objective of foreign language teaching is not only guide the learners can speak out some target language sentences, or do some translation , but also in order to form the citizens have a better preparation for survival and develop in the diverse global village, knowledge creating by information technology. (Teaching and Research group on English courses. May 2002:3) A famous proverb presented by Albert Einstein: "interest is the best teacher。" In ancient china, a distinguished educationalist Confucius has ever said that:" in pursuit of knowledge, curiosity is more important than knowledge itself, and interest is even more important than pure curiosity" .All of these emphasis the dominant role of interest on learning process. 7: Project Design Activity 1 1. Warming up and Lead in : (1) Sing a song "Jingle Bells" (2) Greeting with each other . (3) Tell the students the Christmas Day is coming . 2. Presentation : (1)Teach the word : Santa Clause . Let the students look at the screen . There is a Santa Clause who carries a big bag . (2) Use the Santa Claus's bag to let the students guess what's in the bag . (3) After guess , the teacher open the bag , there is a Christmas tree , a candy , a stocking , a star , a card , a gift , a bell and some coloured lights . (4) Teach the words : coloured lights and bell . (5) Let the students to guess what does the Santa Claus want us to do ? Then listen to the tape . In the listening , the Santa Claus told us to decorate the Christmas tree . 3. Practice and Production: (1) Look at the TV , there are many beautiful Christmas trees. Today , the Santa Claus will teach us how to decorate the Christmas trees . (Listen to the tape for the first time .) (2) Listen to the tape for the second time , after listening ,invite the students to find out the important words . (3) Use the important words to retell the passage by the helping of the teacher . (4) All the class look at the important words on the blackboard , then retell the passage by themselves . (5) The teacher do an example to decorate the Christmas tree . (The students describe .) (6) The teacher devide the class into five groups . The students decorate their Christmas tree , after decoration , they must describe the Christmas trees . 4. Summary : (1) the teacher sum up the way of decorating the Christmas tree . (2) We will have a Christmas party . Sing the song "Jingle Bells " again . Activity 2 "Communicative practice is base on meaningful drills, teachers use "information gap" to make students appetite for further knowledge, and then join the activities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing."(Xiaoxi.2007.12.141) Through set up information gap in English classes, we can arouse active atmosphere to facilitate students' learning. Teacher can present students some pictures about different jobs, for instance: Ss: Good morning teacher. T: Good morning class, sit down please. Ss: Thank you. T: At the beginning of our lesson, I will give you a question. Dear class, what did you call me just now? Ss: teacher. T: Yes, I am a teacher, teacher is my job. Then "what do you do class? Ss: I am a student. T: Yes, today we will learn something about jobs; here please look at some pictures. Can you guess what do they do in these pictures? Now action! Activity one: T: They bring happiness to us from their films, and they are very busy, maybe they are handsome or beautiful. Can you guess what are they? Ss: They are actors. T: Read after me please, actors Ss: Actors---- T: How to spell this word? Ss: A-C -T-O-R-S T: Yes, very good. Then please look at another picture. Dear class, who can say some characteristics of him/her. 8: Project Implementation 8.1 English teaching methods Same knowledge points would achieve different teaching results by different teaching methods. A skill teacher is certainly a person who use different teaching methods frequently on different teaching materials To help the students are able to have successful communications with others in target language, Foreign Language Teaching methodology presented us a series of teaching theories for our using. Such as: Grammar-Translation method, the Direct Method, The Oral Approach, The Audingual Method, The cognitive Approach, The natural Approach, The communicative Approach---etc(committee of self-study examination,1999.9) Different teaching method has its advantages and disadvantages, using those methods properly to arouse an active atmosphere to achieve efficient teaching results. Here take communicative Approach to arouse English atmosphere as example. "Communicative practice is base on meaningful drills, teachers use "information gap" to make students appetite for further knowledge, and then join the activities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing."(Xiaoxi.2007.12.141) Through set up information gap in English classes, we can arouse active atmosphere to facilitate students' learning. This kind of teaching style is closely to students' real life, also can arouse atmosphere and motivate them learning interests 8.2 How to improve class atmosphere from the perspective of facilities usage. Arouse the active atmosphere in Primary School, we can say attract students' conscious sustain attention on process of English teaching. "There are two aspects of arouse conscious sustain attention, one is the characteristics of stimulus, and the other is person's subjective state .the characteristics of stimulus are: New stimulus, Different stimulus, Changeable stimulus, Contrastive stimulus. Subjective state includes the students' needs and interests knowledge experiences and expectation. (Hang Yongchan, 2005.6:34-36) The usage of facility should surrounding how to arouse and sustain students' conscious attentions 8.2.1pictures' usage Pictures have several characteristics; the usage of pictures can present a more concrete and vivid objective to students. Compare with oral depiction, pictures are more powerful to facilitate students' learning. For instance, when we present this word"elephant" in English class ,how we make our students have a better understanding about it. We can present students a picture of elephant, present them several characteristics of it, such as: it has big body and long tooth, it also has big ears. 8.2.2Learning archives Learning archives indicate that use forms to record students' learning process, record their gain or fail on English learning, especially their progresses. By forms using, students can clearly see their process of improvements. Arouse an active atmosphere to trigger their motivation, and strengthen their language acquisition. For instance: Learning archive Name: class: teacher: Do you satisfy your learning this week? Your best work in this week Your worst work in this week: Analysis the reasons of success: Analysis the reasons of fail: What do you plan to do next week? Your parents' opinion 8.2.3music's usage Naturally, music' beautiful rhythm is popular with students. Singing songs is gift of the young, introduce English songs into English classes can arouse their instinctive habits. Using music can arouse the atmosphere and led students interested in English 8.2.4computer's usage Using Multimedia assistant equipment in teaching is the basic skill of teacher nowadays. As a modern teaching assistant tool, computer contains vivid, visual characteristics. Teacher present teaching materials by computer can arouse students' interests. They can feel that learning English is so interesting. Better language acquisition will be formed. 9: Data Analysis In order to show whether is helpful for students to learn English . Date were gathered from two sources , two questionnaires and two tests at different time . 9.1 Data from the questionnaire Two questionnaires were used in this research . One was at the beginning of the project , the other was at the end of the project . Table One ―――― Comparison of the students' interest in learning English . Degree of interest Like a lot Like Like a little Don't like Before the research 10% 30% 33% 27% After the research 15% 60% 17% 8% Table One shows :75% of the students liked those teaching methods . The number of the students after the research than before the research is increased 35% . In the research , only a small number of students report they kept the same level . 9.2 Data from test Two tests were used in both classes . One was at the beginning of the project and the other was at the end . Table Two ―――― means of tests before research A: Rate of passing B: Rate of excellence C: Rate of good (%) Table Three ―――― means of test after research A: Rate of passing B: Rate of excellence C: Rate of good (%) The two tables show clearly that the students have been much better in English than before . It also shows Class One is much better than Class Two after doing this research . So it is very helpful for the students to learn English well . 10: Project Evaluation Through the period of study and experiment, our atmosphere of English class has significant improvements. Through using the method of the project, I find the interests of the students. After using those teaching methods, our class become more interesting and attractive . But I also have one problem unsolved is that active atmosphere in class sometimes cause the students to get out of control , some of the students are difficult to back to the textbooks from the funny activities . 11: Conclusion Through this study, we pursue a new perspective of foreign language would be established in primary school. Arousing active atmosphere by different aspects' factors, students' language acquisition can be facilitated. Their comprehensive abilities of listening, speaking, reading and writing could be developing very well. According to the standards of new curriculum, the difference between traditional English and modern English teaching is who play the dominate role in class, that is students-center shift from teacher-center. So establish helpful factors to facilitate students' language acquisition are the base tasks of teacher. In short, arousing atmosphere in English class of primary school is teaching aids only. It is helpfully to teacher and students to achieve better gains. It also can diminish psychological stress of students and strengthen their language acquisition 12: Bibliography Fu Daochun.Education.Education Science Press.1999.12 Wu Xiaofeng.How To Teach New Curriculum .Shengyang Press.2002.12 Hang Yongchan.psychology.

Osteoporosis is responsible for 1.5 million fractures in the United States each year. Half of the women over age 50 can expect to suffer an osteoporotic fracture during their lifetime. Bone densitometry (DEXA scan) examinations measure the mineral content of the bone. At AMI AtlantiCare, we examine the hip, spine, and occasionally the wrist because these are the sites where osteoporosis first occurs. A dual energy beam of very low dose x-rays passes through the area being examined. The detectors then compare the amount of x-rays absorbed by the bone to the amount absorbed by the non-bony tissues of the body. DEXA scan provides a measurement of the bone mineral density so your physician can determine if you have osteoporosis and if you need to be treated. If you are being treated, a DEXA scan can monitor the effects of therapy.

Chaos in Calais: lorry drivers block motorways in 'operation escargot' protest
British holidaymakers could face chaos in Calais this morning as French farmers and lorry drivers block major autoroutes as part of a protest against the town's migrant camp.
The 'operation escargot' convoy is following the A16 towards Calais from Dunkirk and Boulogne. It will deliberately drive slow in a bid to build up congestion – and a human chain could be formed across the road.
- Sailing to France? Why not go via Portsmouth, says ferry company
- Travelling to France? Do not stock up on fuel in cans warns RAC
- More car news on Motoring Research
The demonstration – which is against the French government's refusal to close the 'jungle' camp – is also threatening a blockade close to the Channel Tunnel.
As part of her visit to Kent last week, the mayor of Calais backed the protest but said it could result in 'chaos' for British travellers.
Meeting Kent business leaders in Ashford, Natacha Bouchart said: "There might be chaos and disorder on Monday. This is for a good cause. We want things to change.
"There is chaos every day and every night. We want the French government to take its responsibilities and put an end to this particularly difficult time we are facing."
Criminal gangs are reportedly adopting new methods to smuggle migrants into the UK – including throwing items at cars to try to make them crash.

The Road Haulage Association (RHA) is advising truck drivers to find alternative routes across the Channel if possible.
"It seems certain that traffic crossing from the UK will find it almost impossible to leave the Port as access to the A16 is denied," explained RHA chief executive Richard Burnett.
"The inevitable repercussions of this will surely mean that the authorities on this side of the Channel will have no alternative but to deploy Operation Stack. This will bring yet further misery to hauliers bound for mainland Europe and of course for the people and businesses of Kent."

While lorry drivers are concerned about the safety risks posed by the Calais camp, farmers are said to be angry at the destruction of crops caused by the migrant camp.
The size of the camp has been steadily getting bigger since a large area was cleared in February.
Burnett added: "While we understand the reason for the action, we cannot condone it. The knock-on effects for hauliers, Kent and those returning from their holidays on the Continent will also be in it 'for the long haul' but certainly not as a matter of choice."

The Pulsar DTSi 200 C.C sold so far has defective front forks..!! Owners please ride carefully and get them replaced with new sturdy ones
You are have bought for yourself a Bajaj Pulsar DTSi 200 C.C just 5 days back.
With just 368 Kms on the odometer you certainly don't want to damage the engine. Therefore you wisely cruise on your spanking new bike at a relaxed speed of 45-50 Kms/Hr. Suddenly out of nowhere a cat appears in front of you. To save the poor kitty's life you brake hard. Aren't you glad that the Pulsar 200 comes with a Disc Brake up front..? You are sure that the kitty's life will be spared.
"Sounds like a bikers nightmare doesn't it..??"
The front forks dives hard due to the sudden braking, the bike stops with a jolt. Then suddenly you hear a "blasting sound"..!! The next thing you notice is copious amounts of fluid flooding in front of your front wheel. The cat meanwhile escapes unhurt and scoots off to safety.
You get down of your bike to inspect the reason for the blast and the source of the
fluid gushing out.
To your horror you realize that the barrel on which the Front Disc Brake is clamped has broken into two pieces.
But this is exactly what happened to Soumya (from Kolkatta) on 25'th April 2007...
Update: Attention to all.. Bajaj Auto has replaced the initial defective front forks of the Pulsar 200 with new front forks with a better and sturdy design.
All Pulsar 220 DTSi bikes now come equipped with these redesigned and stronger front forks.
A few of my close friends also own the Pulsar 200 DTSi. One of them have even been to LEH on his Pulsar 200 DTSi and his bike is still in excellent condition.
The pics were posted in Xbhp.Com by Soumya himself.
I spoke to Soumya over the phone about this incident. He told me that the front fork barrel just gave way on hard braking. To prove this he said that there were no marks anywhere else on the bike which could suggest that the bike had hit somewhere.
The pics scarred the shit out of me. Imagine what is Soumya had been doing speeds of 90 Plus Kms/Hr and had to make an even more emergency stop..??
I had never seen anything like this before.. Bajaj had definitely messed up this time. Either there was a flaw in the design of the front fork barrel or there has been really poor Quality Control on part of Bajaj Auto.
A comparision of the front fork barrels of the Pulsar 180 (on the left) and the Pulsar 200 (on the right) below shows the difference between the two designs.
Before I saw these pics, I was very impressed with the Pulsar 200 DTSi and was thiking of getting one for myself very soon. But now I was starting to have second thoughts.
There was something seriously wrong with the design of the front fork barrel.
Everyone at XBhp.Com were shocked.. a few even gave advice to Soumya to sue Bajaj Auto.
My faith with Bajaj now seems to be returning back.
Attention Pulsar 200 owners: Inquire about the replacement of your front forks at your Authorized Bajaj Service Centers. Till then ride very carefully. And yes, be very careful of Cats crossing the road..!!

Many of us are familiar with common types of nursing home abuse: Nursing home neglect, nursing home bed sores, slip-and-falls, and prescription mix-ups. However, a very serious type of nursing home abuse exists of an almost unthinkable kind: Nursing home sexual abuse.
This week at Butner Mental Hospital, the State Bureau of Investigation is looking into the possibility that disabled mental patients were photographed while nude during their stay at the hospital. According to reports from the Department of Health and Human Services, two healthcare technicians are on paid leave after a cell phone was turned in to authorities containing a picture of a partially nude mental patient and resident of the hospital.
Disability Rights North Carolina says that if the story checks out, it is an appalling violation of privacy rights. "We find it extremely disturbing that after all that has happened we would still be investigating staff behavior that is so clearly inappropriate," Vicki Smith, executive director of Disability Rights North Carolina said. "These folks are vulnerable. To be put in a position of being exploited by the very people who are supposed to be treating them is unconscionable."
Butner Hospital has already faced other allegations of poor patient safety and staffing shortages. Just two months ago, three hospital staff were accused of having sex with multiple female inmates working labor jobs at the hospital in exchange for making phone calls or sending emails.
Cell phones are not allowed to be used at all by hospital staff while on the job.

Assess Decide Do
GTD is a wonderful methodology. I've been using it for more than 3 years and the benefits are unquestionable. I implemented it in several formats, from pen and paper to digital, and I can confess it really works. I'm productive and more efficient. But – you know, there is a but here – being productive and more efficient is not always enough.
GTD is a methodology for getting things done, period. But there's so much more to life than just doing. For instance, how you get to know which are the things you want to do? How you know if it's ok to do those things and not other stuff? How can you assess your overall progress, your internal growth? Certainly, GTD falls short here.
I assume that creating a life management framework wasn't David Allen's initial goal. All he wanted to do was to create a tool for making things happening and he succeeded wonderfully. Ironically, he opened a path which eventually made his tool obsolete, at least for me. I already wrote what I kept and what I left out from the GTD hype. And the reason why GTD is obsolete for me now is because I need something more:
A Life Management Framework
Doing stuff is ok. Constantly and effectively getting things done is even better. Is feeding you with self-respect and creates accountability. You have something to show, you did something. But after a while, I don't care much about doing things. I already created this habit and I'm doing it easier. Sometimes without even thinking, which makes me believe I reached that "mind like water" inner state.
Then why I still feel frustrated? Why I still feel the need for something more? Why I'm not happy anymore just by doing things? Because I need a new paradigm. One that can accommodate my effectiveness with my doubts. My productivity with my laziness (which is not always laziness, maybe is contemplation or meditation). I need a framework to acceptably balance every aspect of my life, not just the doing part.
A life management framework should do that. A life management framework is not a methodology, is not a software, is not a sequence of steps you follow blindly to your presumable redemption. Is just a framework, a wire frame for your own implementation. A life management framework should be light enough to be remembered in one sentence, but powerful enough to sustain your day to day activity as well as your long term goals.
It's been several months since I came up with my own life management framework. I briefly noted in one of my posts (when I got back from my trip to Thailand) that I will like to share something important for me. The reason I'm doing it only now is because I wanted to put it to test first. As a concept, as a mental projection sounded fine, but I needed to make an implementation for at least a couple of months.
Introducing "Assess Decide Do" Life Management Framework
As you may already guessed, ADD comes from Assess, Decide, Do. I will start with a brief explanation of the concepts and then I'll talk about each specific part .
At every given moment I can find myself in only one of these three stages: assessing, deciding or doing. I'm assessing my current options, I decide what I have to do, and then I do it. From the smallest context in which I may be, up to the long term goals, my overall activity will fall into one of these categories: assess decide do.
Every time I have a constant flow between assessing, deciding and doing, I'm managing my life correctly. Every time I have an imbalance in one of these stage, I have difficulties.
If I stay too long in an assessment stage I might lose opportunities or I might lose interest in the desired outcome. If I stay too short in the assessment stage I might lose some precious info, putting at risk my next steps: decision and doing.
If I stay too much in the decision part I may never actually doing what I already assessed and decided. If I stay too little, the outcome might be different from what I wanted.
And finally, if I'm not actually doing it – as in getting things done – the first initial phases were in vain.
A successful ADD life management framework implementation should take care of only two things:
- identify each of your current stage correctly: assessing, deciding or doing
- assure a smooth flow between the current and the next stage
It's not a big philosophy, but it's much harder to implement it then to write it. In programming, especially in OOP (Object Oriented Programming) tailoring this ADD framework to your needs would be called: "implementing the abstract class". Those are just principles, abstract notions and it's the task of the ADD life management framework to create an understandable, coherent wrapper on top of them.
As a wire-frame, this life management framework should be defined in only 3 words: Assess, Decide, Do.
Now let's talk about each of those 3 fundamental stages or realms.
You don't have to do everything on your agenda, unless you're a robot with no free will. You have to assess everything around and take into account as many information as you can about any specific task. Assessing is one of the most ignored states of the contemporary, modern individual. When you run furiously in your own rat race trap, you really don't have time to assess, you just run.
I find assessing vital for a successful outcome of any task, goal or activity I start. If I'm not assessing it enough, if I'm not integrating it into my own personal system of values, bad things are happening. I might get that thing done, but I won't be pretty happy about it. To say the least. Doing something against your personal values is one of the worst things you can do to yourself.
Integrating a specific task in your personal system of values is of course only one of the things you may want to do in the assessment stage, you can have tons of other things to assess, like the short or long term benefits, the opportunity, the resources availability and so on. You do this on the Assessment realm.
I realized that assessing has a cumulative structure. I put together pieces of information, emotions, memories, until I come up with a specific object. When I can't add to it anymore, when it looks the same to me regardless of my standpoint, I know it's time to make a decision. Then, and only then, I can move to the decision realm.
As opposed to assessing, decision is a one point structure. Once you can't assess anything anymore, you decide what to do about it. You have only 2 options:
- do it
- don't do it
If you decide to do it, you'll move to the Doing realm. If you decide not to do it, you'll discard the task completely. The nice thing about this dual attitude is that you won't have to postpone it. You simply decide you ain't gonna do it, period. You have the freedom to discard it completely or to move it back to the Assessment realm. If you can't do it now, maybe the future will bring some more info and you'll be in a better position to make a decision. But you made a decision about it, you can move on.
If I know I have to make a decision about a specific topic I usually do it within a very small time span. Several minutes up to maximum 24 hours. I'm talking about regular, normal tasks like blogging or business. There are some situations in which the decision part can last several months, like moving to a new country or relationship decisions. But if there's something within my current time horizon, I don't delay it more than 24 hours.
Being in the Assessment realm before has a very big advantage: I already have all the info I need to work with. Now, if I decided I'll go further, all I have to do is to move into the Doing realm.
Here is the place for methodologies like GTD. Here is the place in which I make lists and schedule tasks and actually check them as done. If there's something on my Do list, I know I already passed through 2 filters: Assess and Decide, so I don't have anything left to do about that task. Except doing it, of course.
The Do realm can be repetitive and can last days or months. It's not a cumulative structure, although it can produce visible results, and it's not a one point structure. It's more like a flow. It's not unusual to be in the Doing stage for months, if I have a larger project, coding, for instance. Every Do activity or project can be planned and/or managed from within the Do realm, or at least I did it with good results.
Whenever I finish doing some task or project, I go back to the Assessment realm, closing the circle. At this point, I finished an ADD cycle. In this cycle I included a lot of activities, from assessment, to decision making and to actually doing the specific project. Usually, whenever I finish an ADD cycle I have a very deep and powerful sense of well being. Every cycle I finish add to my self-respect in a way I never experienced before. Every ADD cycle is far more than a checked task on a list, is more like reaching the next level on a spiral path.
ADD Imbalances
I couldn't finish this introductory article about ADD Life Management Framework- yeap, there will be more – without a short section dedicated to ADD possible imbalances.
Assessing Stage Imbalances
One of the most common assessing imbalances is the "analysis paralysis" syndrome. You keep thinking and thinking and don't do anything. You never move from that realm, you never get to decide what to do with all the information that you gathered so far. All you do is crunching information, in the hope that at some point that information will be useful to you.
Another common assessing imbalance is the "I didn't know" excuse. You didn't know that your business was entering a crowded market so you went bankrupt in the first 6 months. Or you didn't know you're approaching an aggressive or lazy partner and your relationship is a mess now. If only you took some time to assess…
Deciding Stage Imbalances
The most common deciding imbalance is the "one day I'll have my own business" syndrome. In this case you took the decision but you aren't really doing anything to move further. Your decision is strong, you trust yourself and your hopes are high. But you're not doing anything, you just took a decision and never moved from there.
Another deciding imbalance is very close to shyness: I'm not going to do this, because it won't matter or because I will feel terribly bad if everybody will look at me. Your assessment was complete, you moved to the point where you can actually start doing it, but you decide to quit.
Doing Stage Imbalances
The most common doing imbalance is the obsessed productivity freak. The guy that does stuff without thinking, just to be able to check some tasks done. This is the biggest productivity trap you can ever hit, and I saw quite often many promising careers falling down because of this. Just doing, without assessing and making the right decisions is a sure path to the underground world of the "still smiling but completely burned down inside" people.
That was the introductory article about my life management framework. There will be more, because I am just scratching the surface with this one. But until then, I would love to hear your opinions, comments and suggestions. Do you believe in a life management framework? Do you recognize those 3 fundamental states in your activity: assessing, deciding, doing? Do you experience imbalances in any of the stages?

Dragos, this is valuable and insightful as always. While caution is necessary and the degree to which an action can be rash must depend on the nature of the outcome if the action doesn't work, sometimes action is necessary, plain and simple.
My dad always used to say, "Don't just stand there. Do something, even if it's wrong." Of course he didn't mean that I should go out and rob a bank; he meant that I should take my best guess on what needed to be done, and then do it. Sometimes it would be the wrong decision, but he was also indicating that it's okay when that happens.
I worked for Data General for years and years; this is the company featured in Tracy Kidder's book, Soul of a New Machine. Tom West, one of DG's technical leaders for many years, had a saying, "Not everything worth doing is worth doing right."
Or, in other words, sometimes you just need to shoot from the hip and hope you hit the mark. 🙂

Analysis paralysis. I get stuck on that one pretty often. Decision making is a pretty tough one as well. Probably if you can constructively and not obsessively analyze things well, you can get to the decide and do parts a lot better. I'm interested in seeing more details about this approach.

I like the framework, and agree with it. It's interesting that the "do" part is the one most people have the hardest part with. Possibly becuase that is the only part of your framework that entails risk? Interesting concepts, and well put together as usual.
[rq=4197,0,blog][/rq]Series Recap: Small Business Questions Answered
when I was at Cap Gemini we used the idea of "Design, Build, Run" to describe how we handled infrastructure projects. People kept throwing in new pieces to the puzzle so it came out to be something horribly long; something like assess, design, sign off, build, implement, run, review, change – then start the process again. While the second is technically more accurate, design build run is the core that never changed.
When I was hired by Microsoft to build infrastructure related to call centers and global networks I ended up becoming the PM teacher. Each time we hired a new IT PM (pretty much anywhere in the world) they were sent to me, or to a meeting that I was attending, so I could teach what I did. Assess, decide, do.
Me, I love the don't do option. That was one thing that was really hard to teach the new PM's. Just because someone had an idea, even a good idea, you don't have to do it. If it's assigned, sure, ya gotta get it done. If you have reasons for not doing it, document your assess and decide phases and try to get the project canceled or pushed back to a more appropriate date.
As Master Yoda once told me (through the big screen) "Do, or do not. There is no try."

Dragos, you are amazing at breaking things down into stages and explaining the progression from one to another. As you pointed out and will be addressing further, balance is the greatest challenge. We need to stay aware of the relationship between each step and how they fit into the big picture. Thanks for this.

Really great article, Dragos. I especially like the polarisation of the DECIDE element into it's simplest parts – Do it/Don't Do it. I recognise that's where I often get stuck, when in fact it really is that simple.
I need to read this post again a couple of times to get a better understanding, but at first sight looks like it's just what I need.
Ian Peatey's last blog post..Life: powerful and fragile
This came to me watching Wall-e with me 10 year old last summer.
We all have the drive to get things done just like a robot, but what makes us different is the frontal region of our cortex which is basically a simulator that is unique to humans. It is the engine of our intelligence that is virtually simulating a multitude of possible scenarios of what is going to happen next. The more intelligent a person is, the more accurate it can predict (foresee) the outcome of its decisions before doing anything, so it won't waste any resources and energy trying.
The Universe can be modeled as a deterministic mechanism, where past history (what we learned and experienced) and present decisions determines the future outcomes, so don't loose the habit of procrastination and doubting the decisions that you make. Just become aware that they are there to give you "time" to choose a higher meaning and purpose of your actions.
Hi Dragos
This is a good framework to life your life by. The problem I have is that my head is buzzing with new ideas and I find it difficult to focus on one thing at a time as I am juggling so much stuff. Recently though I started focusing on 3 business ideas and ever since I have done this the business side of things seem to have taken care of themselves and I find it easier to do things.
Deciding what to do and what to focus on was the hardest part, but, like you say, once you have decided to do something it is much easier to get to the doing realm.
Great post and great life strategy.
Steven Aitchison's last blog post..The Devils dreams
Hi Dragos-
I think,
each aspect of of your life has a point where you once achieve learning a task – it becomes humdrum. We lose interest and something we have enjoyed doing once we find stale.Delegation of work is great if you can do that.I find it better to do the more important tasks first before the tedious ones that aren't as important at the end of the day. I schedule my day the week before and often find I can successfully follow it when I choose not to allow distractions.
I think determining which tasks by the value and time taken away from your projects is helpful.
With work my clients know I can be reached easiest in the afternoon.They are going to have too leave a message or email me.
I check messages and email only twice a day.To decrease distractions.
I try to finish the task list off but if I have other plans I start off the next day by breezing through the previous day's remaining tasks.Which I dislike doing very much. I rather jump in to the money making projects.
Very useful article and I cant wait to read more.
Bunnygotblog's last blog post..Under Pressure
I think it's a good model.
The decision part could seem tiny respect to the others, but we must consider that decisions are effectively the junction points that start to draw the path between the now and our goals or intentions by directing our focus, and should never be taken in long time after the initial analysis. So despite of appearances, its atomicity seems ok.
In the assessment stage in my opinion there is the higher chance to encounter setbacks. Because as I grasped it, it comprises three important phases:
– grounding, i.e. taking accurate info from outside and looking at them from multiple perspectives to obtain a sort of objectivity
– acceptance, i.e. avoid denial on reality to avoid wasting your time
– freedom, i.e. self confidence and detachment from outcome, that is power you can keep within to move on to next stages, or can waste by dwelling in self doubt and other poisons
I don't know if this can serve from your perspective, but maybe it can help in your assessments 🙂

Berkeley Nucleonics Corporation (BNC) was formed in 1963 to develop custom pulse generators. You are also well known for your radiation detection equipment. What motivated the company to branch out and develop equipment for RF/microwave applications?
As a successful science tech company, we are continuously on the hunt for emerging technologies and markets. With the proliferation of data transmission and growth of applications to manage and utilize the electromagnetic spectrum, it was clear that new opportunities to support RF/microwave in research and with commercial customers existed. In addition, with trends pushed by the IoT (Internet of Things) and consumer social behaviors tied more and more to computer-oriented interactions, we saw an opportunity to lead the trend away from large, complex and fragile traditional lab equipment to smaller, more robust, application diverse, GUI-centric (graphical user interface) instruments.
What is the RF/microwave market that you're targeting — is it a particular type of equipment, a specific application, something else?
Our main targets are multi-pronged and across the board. As I mentioned, we see an opportunity as innovators in providing the market with an alternative to legacy format equipment, thereby providing instruments that have better reliability and application/work flexibility. By offering a smaller, lighter and more portable solution, we are bridging the gap from the lab to the field. Field work such as satellite communications, radar, COMINT, electronic warfare and others requiring "lab precision and quality" now have solutions literally in the palm of their hands.
The RF/microwave industry is served by large and long established test and measurement companies, as well as quite a few relatively new, small companies. What is BNC's differentiation or value proposition, where you stand apart from your competition?
Our axiom is to "out-package, out-perform, and out-price all competitors." The fact that this industry is served by many large and long-established companies poses both a challenge and an opportunity. The challenge is promoting a new idea with less brand recognition in this space. Interestingly, however, the large manufacturers are slowly moving toward GUI-based, cost-reducing designs as well. Our size presents an excellent opportunity, too; we can innovate and develop faster, which translates to higher performance and better solutions with shorter times-to-market. Our value-add proposition is clearly providing customers a higher quality of the data, spectrum and instruments overall at affordable costs. Thankfully, BNC is a recognized brand in the broader test and measurement field, synonymous with the values that our customers need and appreciate.
Test equipment has a long operational life. How do you support your customers over that lifetime — calibration, maintenance and software updates, for example?
BNC's name, in part, stands for excellent customer service. It is a component of our company's legacy and what helps us stand out in the field of competitors. Our lead times in deliveries, calibrations or repairs are faster than our competitors. Our direct customer interaction in solving issues and providing solutions is evident from the first call or email inquiry.
In addition to our great customer support, the innovative direction in "interface-less" GUI-centric instruments is literally combating obsolescence and providing even longer operational life. By not tying our equipment to manual interfaces or computer operating systems, our customers are not beholden to third party technology or obsolescence issues like disk drives, old unsupported operating systems or even fading screens and broken buttons. All of our user interfaces are free and open to download. There are no subscriptions, seats or renewals. And all of our updates are provided at no charge, online, over the life of the instrument.
Talk about some of your most popular products, their features and benefits.
We specialize in solutions within the RF/microwave field with both signal generation and signal analysis, all of which we believe to be disruptive to traditional companies and the equipment they provide. The three main flagship product segments are
- signal sources (generators and synthesizers)
- dedicated phase noise/signal source analyzers and
- compact real-time spectrum analyzers/microwave receivers.
All of these products embody our design approach to be significantly smaller, lighter and more portable than their traditional counterparts. They all provide industry-leading performance, function and features. And all solutions are provided at a cost to customers that is a fraction of the price of the traditional competitors — up to a 66 percent reduction. Nothing in the industry comes close to the price/performance/size ratios that we offer.
Can you share some of the interesting technologies you use that are not obvious from the outside of the instrument?
Ironically, many of our innovative engineering approaches and technology advancements are obvious when examining the outside of the instrument. This is clear when noticing the extraordinarily small and compact design when compared to contemporary counterparts. That being stated, we are continuously driving our internal resources to employ cutting-edge engineering techniques and technology in current component design. Each release of our GUI update is loaded with menus options, modes and new features for the user.
When someone hears the name BNC, what do you want your brand to mean to them?
The message has been the same since my father founded the company: a relentless pursuit of satisfied users. We have gone to great lengths to address very demanding needs, and our reputation illustrates that. The name (and logo), BNC, stands for high performance, reliable products backed by a company committed to the long-term needs of industry. We enjoy the accolades from industry and academia alike, often having our name show up in research papers, conference talks or case studies.
You're privately held, have been in business for 53 years, and the founder is still involved in the business. What's the personality of the company?
The environment is quite positive. We have a variety of talents above engineering and product manufacturing. The divisions within the company enjoy friendly competitions ranging from darts to March Madness basketball pools. We have occasional evening or weekend events and often bring technical experts from various fields into the company for specialized projects. Having significant business in Europe and Asia, we also enjoy a cultural variety of support, sales and training issues. That can mean 4:00 a.m. phone calls, but our tech support teams are equally committed. It is nice to have Mel involved in the daily operation; he is quite entrepreneurial and resourceful and encourages initiative throughout the organization.

I and B Ministry declares citizen charter
New Delhi: The Information and Broadcasting Ministry today declared a Citizen Charter under which it will deliver services to people within a specified time-frame. As per the Charter, for granting permission to TV Channels for uplinking or downlinking, the ministry will forward the applications within two months after receiving them in completed form to the Ministries and Departments concerned for clearances.
The Charter explains that to issue permission for uplinking or downlinking of TV channels from India, the application is examined by Department of Space, Ministry of Home Affairs and other departments. The Citizen Charter lays down a time-frame of four months for delivering on such applications once such formalities are over.
Similarly, as per the Charter a specific time plan is also listed for the Issue of license for providing Direct To Home (DTH) services to prospective licensees. As per the Charter, the applications for DTH services will be forwarded within two months, after the receipt of the completed applications, to the Ministries and Departments concerned for necessary clearances.
Once all the clearances are acquired, the ministry would not keep the application for more than four months, the charter states. Officials said once the Citizens Charter Bill is passed in Parliament, the ministry would become bound by the timeline established under it, officials said. As per the charter, the maximum time taken for issuing license to Multi System Operators after security clearance from MHA will be four months.
Four months` time limit has also been specified for the ministry to issue Letter of Intent for setting up Community Radio Stations (CRS) to NGOs or educational institutes after all mandatory clearances. Issue of approval letter for the publication of Indian editions of foreign magazines, journals etc in the categories Speciality, Technical or Scientific has been set at 3 months after all clearances have been obtained.
The time limit set for granting permission to foreign Producers for shooting films and reality shows is even shorter than that of other applications. The I and B ministry would grant permission within three weeks once clearances from Script Evaluator and the MHA have been received and application is complete in all respects.

If you've got kids, you know that part and parcel of having kids is having messes. But did you know that kids can not only create the problem, they can also be part of the solution? There are many ways to involve kids in maintaining a clean household. One method that works well is having a Daily Chore Chart.
A Daily Chore Chart assigns specific chores to individual children, with different chores assigned each day. The chores can be tailored to each child's age and abilities. Even children as young as two or three years old can be included in a chore chart, and will usually be excited to join in and clean up just like their older siblings.
The first step in creating your Daily Chore Chart is determining which chores will be included on the chart. List these chores on your Master Chore List. The foremost consideration is to list those chores which need to be done every single day. If a chore is needed very irregularly, it would not be a candidate for the Daily Chore Chart (but could possibly be included on a weekly or monthly chart). Also important to keep in mind is that the chore must be within the abilities of the child to whom it will be assigned. Good examples of chores to include on a Daily Chore Chart are: clearing the dinner table, washing dinner dishes (or loading the dishwasher), taking out the garbage, sweeping the floors, straightening up the family room, etc.
To fill in your Daily Chore Chart, create a table with eight columns across, and as many rows as you have children who will be included, plus one additional row. Label the column headings -- starting from the second column -- with the names of the days of the week. Label the row headings – starting from the second row – with the names of the children who will participate. (Some families include one or both parents on the chore chart; if you will include parents, add two additional rows.)
Now you will need to fill in the blank spaces beneath each day's header with one of the chores you have entered on your Master Chore List. Keeping in mind the different ages, abilities and temperaments of your children, assign a chore to each child for each day. You may find some children work best when given the same one or two chores repeatedly, while others enjoy the variety of having a new chore each day. Some parents like to give each child a "day off" or "free" day, and finds that the children are more eager to help on other days when they have had one day off-duty.
Regardless of precisely how you set up your chore chart, the chances are that a Daily Chore Chart can help your family. A Daily Chore Chart lets your kids know exactly what is expected of them each day and can help eliminate nagging (on your part) and complaining (on theirs!). Start working on one now, and enjoy the benefits every day!

Can anyone predict the 2010 Supercross Series by looking back at 2009?
From history's big picture perspective, they were the only two that would matter for the 2009 season. And they put on quite a show for us during the season!
The 2009 season was a battle between two riders, both of whom have won AMA Supercross titles before. Defending Supercross Champion Chad Reed, riding for the Rockstar Makita Suzuki Team, and James Stewart, riding for the San Manuel L & M Yamaha team.
The opening round of the 2009 AMA Supercross Series, an FIM World Championship would take place in Anaheim on January 3. The somewhat surprise winner? Josh Grant! Riding for the Joe Gibbs Yamaha Racing Team! Andrew Short would finish second, with Chad Reed third. Jake Weimer would win the opening round of 250 'West' supercross. And James Stewart? He and Chad Reed had a tangle on lap nine of the 20 lap main event, leaving James to eventually walk off the track, officially scoring 19th place.
Round 2 was in Phoenix. Chase Field. James Stewart would win his first race of 2009. Chad Reed was second to Stewart. Ryan Dungey won the 250 West race. Josh Grant would be leading the point standings with 45 points. Reed was second with 42. Stewart in seventh with 27 points.
Round 3 – otherwise known as 'Anaheim 2'. The winner? James Stewart! Second place? Chad Reed! This would become a frequent happening during the season. The new points leader of the Supercross Series? Chad Reed! Chad had 64 points, Josh Grant was second with 61. James Stewart was fourth with 52 points. The 250 West event was won by Ryan Dungey.
Round 4 was held in Houston. James Stewart would win the 20 lap main event, Chad Reed was second. This was the first 'East' regional round for the 250 class, which was won by Christophe Pourcel. Four races into the 2009 season, and Reed leads Stewart, 86 to 77 in the point standings.
AT&T Park in San Francisco was host to Round 5. James Stewart wins again! Chad Reed second again! Reed holds a six point lead in the points chase …. Jake Weimer won the 250 East main …
Round 6 – back to Angel Stadium at Anaheim. James Stewart wins in the 450 Supercross class again! Chad Reed is second! Jake Weimer wins 250 West event! Supercross standings? Reed 130, Stewart 127.
Round 7 – San Diego. James Stewart wins his sixth Main Event in a row! Chad Reed finished second. Ryan Dungey won the 250 West Regional event. Stewart and Reed are now tied on points!
The 2009 Supercross Series went down to Atlanta for Round 8. And James Stewart would win his seventh Supercross Main Event in a row! Stewart leads Reed by three points in the championship chase! Chris Pourcel would win the 250 East main.
The new Lucas Stadium in Indianapolis was the site of Round 9. Chad Reed would win the 20 lap main event, James Stewart would finish second. And they are tied on points for the Series Championship! Again! Austin Stroupe won the 250 East Regional event.
Daytona would host Round 10. Chad Reed would win. And take over the points lead! James Stewart would have a fall and finish seventh. Surprisingly, Jason Lawrence finished second. Chris Pourcel won the 250 East Race. At this point in the season, Reed leads Stewart by 11 points.
Round 11 – New Orleans SuperDome. James Stewart wins again, Chad Reed was second again! Austin Stroupe won the 250 East event. Reed leads Stewart 246 to 238 in the Supercross Championship point standings.
Chad Reed would score the supercross main event win in St. Louis – Round 12. James Stewart finished second. And Blake Wharton won his first ever 250 Supercross! Reed holds an 11 point lead in 450 Supercross over Stewart.
Round 13 – Toronto, Canada. Stewart would win the premiere 450 Supercross class, and Reed would finish second. Chris Pourcel won the 250 East event, and Pourcel clinches the 2009 East Region Supercross title!
Round 14 was in Jacksonville, Florida. James Stewart would win in his home state, and Chad Reed would finish second. Christophe Pourcel won another 250 East Supercross event.
Seattle hosted Round 15. Ryan Villopoto would win his first ever 450 Supercross Main Event! But Stewart would score second … Reed a seventh. This turned the Supercross Series points lead over to James Stewart! Ryan Dungey won the 250 West Supercross race …
Round 16 was in Salt Lake City. Trey Canard would win the 250 West Supercross Main Event, but Ryan Dungey clinched the 2009 West Region Supercross title. In the 450 Supercross class, James Stewart was the winner, Reedy right behind in second place. It would all come down to the finale in Las Vegas the following weekend. Only six points separated Stewart and Reed …
The Finale. Round 17. Las Vegas. The Champion would be crowned. Ryan Villopoto won the main event, … James Stewart and Chad Reed would battle – literally. Reed finished in the runner-up position behind Villopoto, with Stewart finishing in third place. Stewart has four more points after 17 rounds than Chad Reed …. and …. James Stewart has clinched the 2009 AMA Supercross Series Championship!
2009 Supercross Final Point Standings:
1. James Stewart – 377
2. Chad Reed – 373
3. Andrew Short – 270
4. Josh Grant – 237
5. Kevin Windham – 236
6. Ryan Villopoto – 233
7. Ivan Tedesco – 226
8. Davi Millsaps – 219
9. Mike Alessi – 218
10. Josh Hill – 146
What does this mean for 2010? We don't know, except to say there is a reason they run the races! Let's see who will become the AMA Supercross Series Champion in 2010!

On her 2nd look we used a pop of pink lips to match her floral wreath headpiece to bring out the femininity of this layout.
For her 3rd look we used a deep red color to match the interior and the pop art feel of the place.
Her last lay out is more edgy highlighting more of her personality. We used a deep plum lipstick and straightened her hair for a more editorial feel.
