Do You Need Some Sparkle In Your Life?
So I started to think about what has been missing from my core reading program that would make teaching our youngest learners more effectively. With that in mind I also wanted it to align to the new CCSS so it can be used in the future. Our program marches through the sight words like a ball of fire so I decided to change that up a little. I created four different readers using the sight word "the". In addition to this, I wanted students to practice coloring, tracing, cutting and pasting to build their fine motor skills. It is also important to build academic language and address the needs of English language learners. In this packet I included sentence strips so that students can practice the language of these emergent readers in a pocket chart to build their confidence and print awareness. Sticky dots can be used under each word so they can track the text. These four readers cross a variety of content areas too. I think this is a great tool for a kindergarten teacher who does not want to race through her program and would like to build capacity while aligning to the CC. Whew! This was way too cognitive. I need to take a nap!
Do you need this? I think this is ideal for Transitional Kindergarten. I better print some of these for my TK buddies. Click on this picture to get to my TpT store. Have a fantastic Sunday.

So perfect. We call our Kinders our "Little Sparks" because our school Mascot is "The Heat" (a flame). Love it.

I have just recently started following your blog. OMG Fran...where have you been all my life? Your stuff is amazing! Thank you so much for the free downloads. I've also purchased a bunch of your material on TpT too. I just attended a K conference on Friday and told quite a few teachers about your site. I was wondering if it would be possible to get a copy of your counting sticks record sheet...that is too cute! Keep producing and I'll keep buying!

The Rafael Buelna market has long been the go-to spot in Culiacan, Sinaloa to find the latest narco-corridos, the polka-infused tunes that sing the praises of narco commanders and tell the stories of their drug trafficking adventures.
A decade ago, as I picked my way through the market while on a reporting trip in Culiacan, longtime music vendor Manuel Ángel Soto told me with pride that songs usually appeared in the market just six months after a particular story hit the news. Back then there was no doubt what the hottest sellers were: narco-corridos that celebrated El Chapo – Joaquin Guzman Loera – the head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Most of the songs told of his daring escape from a high security Mexican prison in 2001 and taunted the Mexican government for its inability to locate the near-mythical capo, who presumably was running his empire from the impenetrable mountains of the Sierra Madre.
Improbably, the Mexican government did track down and arrest El Chapo in the resort city of Mazatlan last year — although it took 12 years. But this weekend, El Chapo escaped from a second federal prison, this time through an elaborate, mile-long tunnel that opened up beneath the shower room.
But the music production and distribution business has changed dramatically since El Chapo's last escape — meaning times have changed on the narco-corrido front, as well. Forget six months; within six hours, bands and singers had rushed songs of El Chapo's second escape onto YouTube and FaceBook. By Sunday afternoon, bands were recording their just-written Chapo tunes in the studio, playing the songs in front of enthusiastic live audiences and releasing elaborate videos with news coverage interspersed with dramatic reenactments of the tunnel escape.
It's almost like they were ready for the news.
The band Rejegos released a YouTube video Sunday of "El Chapo's Second Escape," a song so new that the lead singer read the lyrics off his cell phone, balanced precariously atop his accordion.
"Sinaloa is partying, because the boss is back," the group sang. "They can't believe how it happened/ Like a mole, he escaped through a tunnel."
The Alegres del Barranco gleefully played their El Chapo song Sunday night in front of an excited crowd. "Where is Chapo Guzman? Only God knows./Is he in Sinaloa or on the border?"
On FaceBook, Roman Padilla y Los Reyes de Sinaloa released a video straight from the studio. "This is happening right now in our country," Padilla gravely told the camera. "News made into song."
Like a lot of the newly minted corridos, the Reyes version hypothesized a return by El Chapo to the mountains of Sinaloa: "He's already gone to the sierra/ He's going to visit his people to tie one on/ He got tired of being locked up and so he went back to his homeland/ In the (prison of) Altiplano there is mourning/ In Culiacan, it's a party."

Dear Editors:
The article "One of the City's Worst Landlords Targets Morton Street Senior" in the March issue of WestView was welcomed by long-term tenants at 40 Morton Street. We all sympathize with Indra Kaushal and condemn the harassment from Michael Sloan. Sloan, operating through Skyjam Holdings, is also the owner and manager of 40 Morton Street. He has a history of harassment in our building, too, and he has been successful in driving some long-term neighbors from the building.
In August 2014, Michael Sloan's plumber removed the gas meter for my apartment; Sloan claimed ConEd had removed the gas meter. ConEd said that they had not, and had not been in the building for over a year. I hired an attorney and went to court. Judge Peter Wendt at first seemed to side with Sloan, but my attorney, George Locker, was successful in forcing Sloan to restore services. Sloan claimed he must first replace all gas lines in 40 Morton Street. He gave all long-term tenants new gas lines. It took seven months until Sloan restored my gas in March 2015.
In October 2016, Michael Sloan again turned off gas to tenants at 40 Morton Street. All but one of the affected tenants are seniors on fixed incomes, some with health problems; all of their apartments are rent-controlled or rent-stabilized. Sloan initially claimed it was ConEd's fault that we had no gas. He now claims that he "must" replace gas stoves with electric ones, petitioning NYS Homes and Community Renewal (HCR) for the right to do major construction to re-wire our apartments. He hopes to receive a rent increase and disrupt our lives with sloppy construction and non-union construction workers who have no concern about flying debris and dust in the building or in the street.
The "hostile judge, Peter Wendt," referred to in the WestView article seems to side with Sloan in our current case in Housing Court, as we petition to restore gas services. This is the opposite of Wendt's ruling two years ago when attorney Locker demonstrated Sloan's responsibility to restore original services.
Michael Sloan harasses tenants at 40 Morton Street in other ways:
1. Sloan has not renewed leases of long-term tenants over the past year. When asked about new leases, he remains silent, or claims the new lease "must have been lost in the mail."
2. Sloan does not provide 40 Morton Street with a super. He posts the name of a local man as the super but that man says he does not work for Sloan and is not the super of 40 Morton Street. He is a super in another building on the block.
3. Sloan continues to be abusive to tenants, not responding to emergencies on the weekend or after 5:00 p.m. during the week.
Thank you again for covering Indra Kaushal's struggle against Sloan as well as other important issues. In this era of power and greed, WestView News provides a crucial service to our community and to our neighborhoods.

Another weekend is here! This week, I've spent basically every evening working on refashions. I'm trying to get through SOME of my pile so I can justify buying more things at the Flagstaff Goodwill next weekend ;) (my sister is coming to visit so Saturday is Grand Canyon/Flagstaff day, and their Goodwill is aawwesssooommeeee).
Let's 'cut' to the refashions, shall we? (I crack myself up)
|This is how the sleeves were stitched in: a weird, square seam with a extra gusset thing.
|After approximately one century, I FINALLY had the sleeves off!
|Pin and sew. The hem was teeeeeeny narrow so I had to slow my sewing machine way down to keep everything straight
|So you unpick the sleeves and the armpits get all flopped out and weird... What on earth
|THIS is the problem. This stupid little triangle here. I sewed this about three different ways, all resulting in the bust becoming absurdly too tight, before I settled on...
|This! This didn't tighten the bust and allowed it to lie straight under the arms. This, plus two tiny pseudo darts in the front allowed the tunic to FINALLY lie flat on my body
|I thought about making a v-neck, but I really love the "Oh this top button just casually flopped open of its own accord" look that shirts never do in real life. So I stitched down a few wee stitches to help it do what I wanted!
|The excitement is real folks! Now it's sleeveless and fits great, and the neckline isn't touching my throat! I was so pleased I wore it to work the next day with a dark grey maxi skirt and looked pretty fly!
Next adventurous project:
|I thought maybe I'd make a skirt, but it just doesn't fit in the hip area. So, a top it will be! I used the back of the rejected shoulder/sleeve portion to cut out these pieces for straps
|I took the body of my to-be top and made an elastic casing so it would sit properly at the neck and not just be a floppy potato sack
|Straps, sewn and serged
|I pinned the straps and sewed them to the front first so I could try it on and decide what I wanted to do with the back
|I decided on a simple square knot. I tied it and did a little hand stitching so it won't get wonky when it goes through the wash
|Finished! I'll be getting MUCH more use out of this now! I sewed down the button placket too to avoid any potential malfunctions, and serged the inside seams where I had taken it in originally
|And here's the back. The straps sit a little nicer than that; I was just standing like a weirdo
I'm evolving I think! I'm slowly doing slightly more complex things each time I craft and I'm feeling pretty smug. I'm nowhere NEAR some of you talented ladies here, but for the level I'm at, I feel good!
SUNDAY: A FANTASTIC project that I'm excited to show off (don't worry editors, I made sure to finish the project correctly before I built up any suspense ;) )

Apple is announcing a new version of the iPhone today. We're going to have lots of live coverage.
One of the new features will be a new charger/connector cord.
It's supposedly faster.
Some people are annoyed that their old iPhone cords won't work with the new iPhone.
It must have been very hard for these types of people when Apple got rid of the floppy disk drive, the CD-ROM, and Firewire. We also bet these people don't miss those things now.
This is what the new cord looks like, according to 9to5Mac:

Open Doors Gallery is an arts initiative which supports emerging artists through online platforms and pop-up exhibitions across London.
Co-founder Tom Page walks us through the gallery's inception, highlights at two-years down the line, and plans for the future.
We've been running Open Doors for about two years now. We started it out of the frustration of attempting to make a living through the arts: we could see friends and other artists struggling to get work recognised, so we decided to display it ourselves. In September 2011, we set up an exhibition in our living room and kitchen in Shepherds Bush – a 'Postcode Gallery' – and assembled a collection that celebrated the local community; Shepherds Bush's media past, its multiculturalism, and Queens Park Rangers FC.
Seeing the positive effect it had on everyone involved inspired us to take on further projects to allow other talented artists get their work seen and appreciated. We were spurred on to stage two further Postcode Galleries: Clapham in December 2011, which traded on the area's nightlife, the Clapham Omnibus and William Wilberforce, with visitors all contributing to a mural on the wall of the gallery; and Brixton in June 2012, where we asked authors to write about the SW9 environment, which artists would then respond to – like a game of consequences. HRH Price Charles even popped in. Our most recent exhibition was an art fair at Chelsea Town Hall last year, where the aim was to present brilliant art at affordable prices.
Ben Martin's response to a written piece about dogs on Branksome Road, Brixton
As a way to present visual art together with written pieces, we set up ArtZine, which features original art and photography submissions, interviews, short stories and essays, and is published online each month and free to access. We're currently working on an annual, a kind of 'best of', to be printed and ready for Christmas.
Louise Burrows
Our current project, BLANKS, is an invitation to be creative, and open to all. Anyone can drag and drop a 'canvas' off our blog and onto their desktop, and fill the space with any sort of design they can think of. Every BLANK sent in finds its way up onto the blog. There are absolutely no boundaries as to what you can do, which is perhaps quite daunting to many; The first few marks on a canvas are always the hardest, so in that way it's quite a challenge, but we've been delighted with what's been sent it so far. Eventually, we hope to print a BLANKS collection, too.
Below: The Frame Loop's contribution to BLANKS
We have the same ethos now as we did at the start: we want to provide a creative and professional platform for emerging artists. Whenever we have exhibitions, we don't just hang the work: we hold workshops throughout the day and aim to create a festival vibe over the weekends with music, food and a relaxed atmosphere, and aim to make our online platforms to just as immersive. We want to make every experience as interactive and accessible as we can. – Tom Page

The biggest story out of Spring Training 2010 for the Phillies to some is watching how well Roy Halladay is starting out on the mound . That answer has been simple, he's been awesome so far. Halladay is poised to make the Phillies and their fans proud of him this season for sure. He looks ready to make the change from the American League over to the National League without blinking an eye.


text: DigitalTwitter Must Reveal Bullies' Identities Or Be Held Legally Responsible, New Law SaysBy Lauren Dugan|June 12, 2012 ShareBy Lauren Dugan|June 12, 2012 Share Unless Twitter coughs up the identities of those using 140 characters to abuse, slander and otherwise troll victims, a newly proposed UK law would see the company hauled into court to pay hefty fines. Justice Secretary Ken Clarke is looking to unmask bullies who hide behind internet anonymity, reports the Daily Mail.He has proposed a new law regulating the identities of trolls using social networks to harass their victims.Internet companies like Twitter and Facebook would be required to reveal the identities of the bullies to their victims. If they comply, they will not be held responsible for the actions of these users.If they refuse to comply, however, they might be brought into court and fined thousands of pounds – even though they were just the medium through which the bully sent his or her hateful messages.The new law is meant to help victims identify their online attackers and use their names and email addresses to file libel lawsuits, as well as act as a deterrence for future bullies.Clarke explains that the new law is also meant to protect internet companies from the sometimes slanderous actions of its users:"As the law stands, individuals can be the subject of scurrilous rumour and allegation on the web with little meaningful remedy against the person responsible.Website operators are in principle liable as publishers for everything that appears on their sites, even though the content is often determined by users. But most operators are not in a position to know whether the material posted is defamatory or not and very often, faced with a complaint, they will immediately remove material.Our proposed approach will mean that website operators have a defence against libel as long as they identify the authors of allegedly defamatory material when requested to do so by a complainant."The law would include a one-year timeframe on slanderous online postings, so that old tweets and blog posts couldn't be dug up and used in a lawsuit, as well as provisions to ensure that people do not falsely claim that critical social posts are defamatory just to get them taken offline.Do you think requiring Twitter to divulge the identities of bullies is a positive step towards protecting victims of online abuse? Or does this go too far in prying into people's privacy? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.(No bullying image via Shutterstock) Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kNu2ap copy Adweek Adweek

I got this stamp at the NEC from Mr Magnolia himself and this is it's first inking.
So I thought I'd use it for this week's Just Magnolia challenge which is a gorgeous sketch by Naoual. Please excuse the pics cos my camera batteries are on their last legs so I took these really quickly. Despite mucking about with the photo editor, they still don't look right, but peeps, I did me best with them :)xx
I got me doily punch out, just in case it was feeling left out. Tracy at Dies To Die For is trying her hardest, bless her, to get some more btw. And keep checking the website cos there is something fabulous coming soon. Shhhh, I cannot say any more.
The old faithful PMs and Glamour Dust dynamic duo were used to colour and highlight and the papers are again from Wild Rose Studios Spring CD - I coloured them with the PMs to match the image.
Now, the reason for the change of colour is .......
... this butterfly.
I got the stamp from Port Sunlight at the weekend (Pauline, how the hell did I miss you chick? I am gutted we didn't get to have a catch up!!)
Anyhoos, I stamped it onto acetate using Stayzon and then I coloured it in on the reverse with PMs. Apparently it colours beautifully if you use Stazon ink (coloured, natch), but in the absence of any of that, I resorted to my bad boys (they never let me down!!). But I had to use fairly strong colours for it to show through. I dabbed on a bit of Stickles and then cut it out and added some teeny pearls.
I wanted it to look like Tilda was looking at the butterfly, but it is probably a bit big for this card. And to be honest, it's a wonder that the poor girl isn't in A & E having a coronary, or at least in a severe state of shock, cos IRL relatively speaking, it would be like something out of Jurassic Park!!!
And how do I close the envelope now??
Oh well, I'll do a box for it. It isn't for my friend either but that was the only sentiment that fit along the side lol xxxx
I didn't do all that well all things considered!!!
But I'll tell you who did!!
My eldest was sitting with me yesterday as I was colouring some stuff and she went and got some stamped images and using the PMs, this is what she did ....
The girl can really REALLY colour.
I call her Can Craft, Won't Craft!!
I am trying to persuade her to use her talent and do something with it, but she won't. I even suggested she start her own blog, but nope, not interested!!! Maybe I am biased cos I am her momma but I think these are really good - better than I could do if I being honest!!!
She was just 'mucking about'!!! I mean, what a flippin waste!!!
Remember the Hobbycrap saga from yesterday?
Well, get a load of these ....
No, not me (are you having a laugh!!!!).
It was Nikkie again. Never done it in her life, then she picks up the pliers and beads and an hour or so later, we've 4 pairs of earrings.
Just like that!!! I kid you not!!!
I got some of the beads from Dulcie (thank you chick xxx) and the rest of the beads and the bits and bobs were in my craft box. They are called findings apparently - I've been on the internet today, you can probably tell lol xxx). I found them last night while I was rooting about for something. I got them from that sale I did to help the girl out ages ago so I needn't have bothered going to HC after all.
And finally .... are you still with me, cos I've rambled a fair bit tonight, soz!!!
I got this from the lovely Caryn.
Thanks for this one darlin - it's fab, and I love being a rockin' girl xxx
Have a great evening and a great weekend if I'm not back before Monday.
Huggles xxxx

One of my biggest plan for this month is travelling to the Philippines in less than three weeks! for the first time ever since I've moved here in Canada. I was only ten years old when i came here in Canada with my family. I have missed my family relatives back in the Philippines for so long. I finally get to visit them and i'm so excited for this. One of my biggest fear is plane ride and apparently the exact flight is fourteen hours. So i'm not happy with that but i will be worth it. I will be taking many photos and i will show you the life in the Philippines. Anyways i hope you like this look! and Huge thanks to Choices for this rottweiler shirt.
what i am wearing | jeans from levis,
shades from le specs, beanie is thrift-ed, biker vest from all state,
rottweiler shirt from choies, creepers from urban outfitters.

For those following the politics of both medical and fully legalized marijuana, 2013 and 2014 were years of tectonic change. On New Years Day of 2014, the U.S. state of Colorado decriminalized the sale and consumption of limited quantities of the plant; this resulted in worldwide publicity and an influx of millions of dollars to the state's economy. The state of Washington followed suit later that year. Whenever there's a movement this big you can bet that domain cybersquatting will quickly follow.
And so, in February of 2015, the domain marlborobud.com was registered by a man in Vancouver, British Columbia. His use of the word "bud" after the well-known Marlboro brand was not meant to indicate that he was personal friends with the Marlboro Man or that he enjoyed a Budweiser beer along with his cigarettes. Rather, the Respondent stated that he is associated with an organization that has signed paperwork with the Vancouver government to operate a not-for-profit dispensary of medical marijuana. He claims that he registered the domain name to offer future medical marijuana products from Philip Morris, the owner of the Marlboro trademark, through his dispensaries.
Looking Back at Precedent in UDRP Decisions
At the time Philip Morris filed its UDRP complaint, there was no website resolving from the marlborobud.com domain but this is not an uncommon situation and is also not a bar to winning a UDRP complaint against a domain.
Under the third UDRP element, a non-resolving website might not seem like it clearly indicates bad faith registration and use of a trademark. However, when viewed in combination with all the other circumstances of the case, it very well might. I've won many cases where a famous brand was copied but the website was blank. Under a line of decisions going back to the very early days of the UDRP, panels have held that bad faith may be shown by the respondent's passive holding of the domain. When a famous brand is copied but there's no website, this theory assumes that the domain was registered by the respondent in the hopes that, at some point in the future, the domain will become valuable. Either they'll be able to use it for some commercial venture or, even better, the brand owner will someday make an offer to buy the domain for a significant sum of money.
However, in this case, all the Respondent got for his marlborobud.com domain was a handful of smoke. The Respondent, himself, said that he is holding the domain until the Complainant commences offering medical marijuana for sale at which time he hopes to set up a website offering medical marijuana for sale under the MARLBORO trademark. Finding that this intention for the domain shows bad faith, the Panel held that "the Respondent is holding the Domain Name with the intention, should the Complainant ever commence the sale of medicinal marijuana under the MARLBORO Mark of … attempt[ing] to sell, rent, or otherwise transfer the Domain Name' registration to the Complainant."
What if the Respondent Tried Some Smoke and Mirrors?
In my experience, even if the Respondent hadn't admitted his intended use of the domain, the Complainant still would have prevailed. Once a good case is made to support the bad faith claim, the burden shifts to the respondent to defend and explain why its actions were not bad. In most cases, the respondent either defaults or comes up with some far-fetched story to explain itself (see the Dunkin.menu case) but this is often rather transparent and recognized as such by Panels.
So, if you're the owner of a famous trademark which has been squatted upon in a domain name but there's no website or just a registrar parking page, don't despair. With the right evidence, arguments, and case citations you too can win a complaint and have the domain transferred to you.

There are several common issues that has been on going since the release of the new Windows 10 OS. One of them is the Network connectivity issue and honestly, this is not an easy problem to resolve right away. There are factors to consider and that includes the hardware but we will focus more on software on this one. Now, some Windows PC owners has been complaining about having a network but no internet and others cannot access a website.
This will be the topic that I will tackle in this post. Just continue reading and learn how to perform some basic troubleshooting procedure, we recommend an easy steps especially for those who are not computer savvy. Just like I said, this might not be an easy problem to resolve, so be careful and follow every single step and carefully read it. Otherwise, we will be adding problems to your PC.
For those Windows 10 PC owners, if you are looking for some assistance, don't hesitate to visit our Windows 10 Troubleshooting page for we already addressed some other issues. You can try and find similar issues that your PC has and perform the steps provided. For further assistance, you can contact us by filling up our Windows 10 questionnaire and provide us the detailed information about the issue and we will get back to you.
Troubleshooting Windows 10 PC with network issues
The procedures that we are about to recommend are not 100% guaranteed to fix the issue but can surely narrow down the issue. So, follow the procedures at your own risk.
First things first: Make sure to double check everything from the outside
Now, fixing a network issue is not that easy to fix if you start right away changing some settings in the software. We need to start from the hardware, it means we need to check the back side of the system unit where your Ethernet cable was connected to and way up to the modem.
- Check the Ethernet port – Commonly the ethernet cable is colored white but it has some other colors like blue and grey. Make sure that it is firmly connected at the port, you can try removing it and insert it again just to be sure.
- Check the LED light indicator on Ethernet port – The LED indicator on the Ethernet port has two colors, on upper right and upper left canister, it should be red/orange and green. We need to make sure that you are connected, if it shows solid green and blinking red/orange it means you are connected.
- Check your Modem – The modem is an essential part of connecting your PC to the internet, without it you don't have connection. It has several LED indicators like the Power, Wifi, Ethernet and for other ports. We need to make sure that your modem has connection from your service provider. See if the Ethernet indicator is either solid green or blinking green. If it's red or no color, then you have no internet connection. It is recommend to restart your modem.
1) Unplug the power cord of the modem to turn it off
2) Wait for about 20 to 30 seconds
3) Plug the power cord back in. And your modem will turn on.
4) On your PC, make sure to check if the connection was established. Otherwise, restart the PC and try to connect again.
- Check the Ethernet cables – If the modem has internet connection, then it might be a cable issue. Try checking the cable if it was stretch too much or has broken parts. As well as the RJ45 or the transparent tip of the cable that has brass connectors where you insert into the modem/PC port. In case you see a problem, try replacing it with a new one.
- Check the Ping using CMD or Command prompt – This might be an easy way to figure out if you have connections or not, by performing a ping test. A ping is a data that was sent to network path and going back again to your PC. In short, it will determine how quick it will take to return to your PC.
1) Open Start menu on the taskbar
2) Type cmd on the search box
3) Right-click the Command prompt and click Run as Administrator, then OK
4) On the command prompt, type ipconfig. It will display all information about your network. Then locate the "Default Gateway" (e.g. 192.168.254.254).
5) Type ping <Default Gateway> and hit enter.
6) Then you will have similar results like this:
Reply from 192.168.254.254: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.254.254: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.254.254: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.254.254: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.254.254: Packers: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost 0 <0% loss>
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum =0ms, Average =0ms
Then, you have no issues with your connection, we recommend to call your internet service provider and make sure to tell them about the issue..
- Make sure to have enough Data allocation – In some cases, there are PC owners forgot to regularly check their data allocation used. Now, this is intended only for users who are on a budget plan (e.g. 50gb plan per month). Some service provider won't cut off their users but only throttle their service speed. For example, you have 100mps per month plan and 50gb data cap. If you used up all your data before the renewal period, then the service provider will throttle your connection up to 1 to 2 mbps until you reach the renewal period. We recommend to double check your data allocation or you might want to call your service provider.
Update Network adapter driver
In some cases, outdated network adapter driver can cause network problem especially in Windows 10 OS. It happens after a recent update or upgrade, it could be a incompatibility issue if the network adapter driver was only designed for older version of OS. Upgrading it might resolve this issue. Here's how to check for updates:
- On the search box, type Device manager
- Click Device manager
- Click Network Adapters. If you have graphics card, then choose it.
- Right-click the item, then click Update Driver
- Click Search automatically for updated driver software.
- Then follow the instructions to continue.
- Restart your PC. Then once you're back, try to connect to the internet.
However, if you can't connect to the internet and won't update. You have to use another working PC and download the network adapter driver, just search it in your PC's manufacturer website. It is better to have written down the manufacturer's name and model number of your PC.Then, after downloading save it to a USB and manually install it in your PC.
Change your network channel width
This is not a recommended procedure but, since the above options are not working then we could at least try it. It is just a simple channel changing procedure and you can put it back again if it won't work. The main purpose of doing this, is to determine if the current channel you are in is congested and changing it to another channel might fix the issue. Here's how to change:
- On the search box, type Network
- Click Network Sharing Center
- Click Change Adapter settings on the left pane
- Locate and right-click the name of your adapter
- Click Properties
- Click Advanced tab
- Click the 802.11 channel and change it's value to 20MHz. This might fix the issue.
- Click OK
- Go back to desktop and try using your internet if it fix the issue.
Roll back your network adapter driver
Now, this procedure will restore your network adapter driver to a normal state before an issue occurs. Any changes you've made earlier will be removed and probably resolve it. Here's how to roll back the network adapter driver:
- On search box, type device manager
- Click Device manager
- Click Network Adapters
- Right-click Network adapter name
- Click Properties
- Click Drivers
- Click Roll Back Driver
- Then continue and follow the steps.
- Once you're done, then restart your PC.
Turn off your PC Firewall
This procedure is for testing only because turning off your firewall is not recommended, it's making your PC vulnerable from hackers, viruses … So, after testing it, you have to turn it back on. There are cases that a firewall is preventing you to access a website for some reasons. Here's a general way to turn off your Firewall:
- Press Windows key + X on the keyboard
- Click Control Panel
- Click System and Security
- Click Windows Firewall
- Under the Customize settings for each type network, choose turn off firewall by putting a circle bullet
- Under Public network settings, choose turn off firewall by putting a circle bullet as well.
- Click OK
This time, try to access the website you want to visit. See any progress. To enable the Firewall again, just follow the steps and put a circle bullet to turn it on.
Temporarily Disable Antivirus software
There are antivirus software that are very tight in terms of blocking programs, sites and drivers, like for example the Avast. If you are able to access a website without turning on your antivirus, then this software might be the cause of a network issue. We recommend to either change the settings to minimize blocking any websites and programs or you can replace it with another software.If you don't know what antivirus you are currently using, then follow these steps:
- On the search box, type System and Security
- Click Review your computer's status and resolve issues
- Expand the option by clicking the down arrow near Security option.
- Under Virus protection, if your PC was able to recognize your antivirus it should display there. If it's a malware-prevention software, then click Spyware and unwanted software protection, it should be there.
Alternatively, on the right-bottom of the taskbar, antivirus is commonly has shortcut in it. Just expand the taskbar by clicking the up-arrow. Then double-click the antivirus icon and explore the settings to learn how to turn it off. We recommend to turn your antivirus back when you're done to avoid issues in the future.
That covers it! If none of these procedures work, then don't hesitate to call a tech to have them handle the issue. There might be a hardware-related issue that can't be done by only tweaking some system settings.

HERE is a heart-warming, emotional story of a 61 year father who, through illness, was resigned to the fact that he'd have to watch his daughter's wedding via video rather than attending in person. Doctors re-evaluated him and decided that, with the right support, he could attend her wedding!
READ the brief article and watch the video clips.
Her wedding surprise will make you cry
View the article at:
PLANNING a wedding can be stressful. Knowing a special person is unable to attend can be heat-shattering. This is but one reason why we encourage couples to have their wedding filmed. Whether couples choose to employ a videographer, such as Artisan Media or they have 'Uncle Frank' (with the shaky arm!) film it – the one thing none of us can do is turn back time.

Discussion in 'Effects, Pedals, Strings & Things' started by flyingmusicman, Jul 11, 2019.
This is new!
This should be the dedicated thread to this pedal...not the one combined with the SY-1
Boss has a user manual on their site: https://www.boss.info/global/support/by_product/rc-10r/owners_manuals/
Unfortunately there is no information on the midi parameters/expression or the footswitch. I assume the footswitch will be similar to the RC-3 (Stop/Tempo and Up/Down). They refer to a missing "Parameter Guide".
This one looks cool. Especially how you can put in drum fills with the rhythm side foot switch.
Wish it was a little cheaper is all lol.
One miss is that writing phrases only occurs while stopped. This means that recording multiple live loops and switching between them is limited to the two phrases in the current memory location.
Would be great to be able to record live a C section (by saving current A/B phrases into a memory location 1, changing memory location, recording C and saving into memory 2) and then change between A/B/C that you just recorded at will. Or perhaps use separate memories for A versus B since changing a memory will likely start on A.
Suspect that write is not footswitch controllable anyway.
Guessing there's no midi clock sync? Parameter guide is missing. Curious what the midi controls are
No aux in or headphone out.
looks cool
Hey wait a minute, the guy in the first video. Isn't he the same guy demoing Neunaber 's products?
They need to release the parameter guide asap. It seems like all of the features are going to be there instead of the manual.
I want one, availability?
This looks pretty cool and this product category is a no-brainer. Hoping the drum sounds are good.
wonder if this means Boss will be updating the RC-300 next
Oh dang, this might replace my RC-2
It seems neat but I don't like the drum loops that much more than the stock loops built into the RC-3. And I certainly don't like them as much as my Trio. I'll stick with my current setup but I'm glad to see BOSS attempting something like this.
If this thing can spit out a click on one channel and send looped stuff to my guitar amp I might be buying. Been looking for an easy way to sync up loops with a live drummer.
Or create something in the 500 line with 4+ switches, live looping, more flexability on the drums ala beatbuddy?
Still wished they had stuffed one or two more switches on the 10R. There's room had they laid it out slightly different.
Nice to see this thread starting to take off.
The other one has devolved into a back and forth over some Boss distortion pedal.
Documentation is pretty light on info on the various menu options for loops (one shot, autostart, count in) and rhythms (effects, routing).
The Parameters Documentation should cover all this....

Our team of experienced Design Consultants are always on hand to offer advise and guidance when designing your beautiful home interiors. Jarrett joined the Burlanes design team in February 2018 and is based at Burlanes Chelmsford, alongside Sean. Jarrett has a real design flair, a passion for kitchen design and valued experience in the industry. Let's meet Jarrett... Tell us a little bit about yourself... An inquisitive mind, I find myself always learning something new or occupying myself with something hands on. I enjoy travelling to new cities, cooking and being outdoors. I am a keen skier, and I also like to make an attempt at surfing! Describe your dream kitchen... I am a keen cook, so my dream kitchen has to be geared towards this, with lots of space to prep and everything easily accessible! I would love a freestanding island purely for prep - a stainless steel worktop with everything at hand underneath. Aesthetically, I would like an industrial style kitchen combined with some traditional elements. A place to sit is also a must have in my dream kitchen; whether it be to eat breakfast in the morning or to simply socialise whilst cooking. Tell us a little bit about your career. How has it unfolded? I started out at university studying History, where postgraduate life saw me travel France and Italy working in the Alps as a Chalet Host, and a number of odd renovation jobs in the likes of Lake Garda and Bordeaux. Coming back to the UK, I realised my interests lie within the realm of design and having a hands on approach to working, and so I decided to pursue this part-time education in Architecture. Accompanying this, I have been designing kitchens for the past 18 months, putting my design ideas into practise. What do you think makes a 'happy home'? An open door policy, where anyone is freely invited, is what really makes a happy home. I also think lots of places to sit and gather are important, whether it be at a table, a breakfast bar or quite simply in a nice armchair. Different places for different times of day and circumstances to sit and simply chat. Name a kitchen gadget that you couldn't live without! A coffee machine! Whatever shape or size I cannot start my day without my caffeine fix in the morning, or a top up in the afternoon as well! What would people be most surprised to know about you? I once drove the Monaco Grand Prix track; even if it was in my Nissan Micra at the time! I also own two siamese cats named Monkey and Leon.

I'm not a cook. Seriously, I can't even count the number of times my apartment has filled with smoke during one of my many failed attempts. If I make something that's even remotely edible, it's a major accomplishment.
I know, I know, I shame Ukrainians everywhere. I wish I took after my mom in the cooking department. Both she and my grandma were ridiculously talented in the kitchen — they rarely followed recipes and would never measure anything, just a pinch of this, a bit of that, yet everything they made was a little taste of heaven. Maybe cooking ability skips a generation?
As I said in an earlier post, not only do I absolutely suck at cooking, but I hate it, too. I'm not sure if it's because I bite the big one, or if I just hate the actual art of cooking. Whatever the reason, it makes it difficult to follow the Eat Clean Diet, since so many of the meals require some degree of cooking ability and food prep.
Because of my lack of kitchen skills, you won't find many recipes on this blog. But when I find something that I can actually make and tastes delicious, I'll post it. If I can make it, anyone can.
I adapted the following recipe from a recent magazine (I believe it was Oxygen), and boy, was it good. Like, lick-the-plate good. You're welcome.
Clean eating tortilla pizza
1 small whole-grain tortilla
1 clove o' garlic
3 or 4 egg whites
Half a tomato
About 2 tsp basil
Fresh parmesan cheese
Grated reduced-fat mozza
1) Press garlic, then spread on tortilla. (Yes, this dish is really garlicky, so make sure not to breathe on anyone for a few hours afterwards.)
2) Scramble egg whites. (I know what you're probably thinking: Egg whites? On pizza? Just trust me.)
3) Spread egg whites evenly over tortilla.
4) Slice tomato, then layer tomato slices on top.
5) Sprinkle basil and cheese on top — I use about 1/4 cup of parm, 1/2 cup of mozza, but you can modify as needed.
7) Bake in the oven for six or seven minutes.
8) Wolf that sucker down.
I once made this three days in a row — it was that good. Somehow the egg whites added a pizza-like texture without an "eggy" (I'm sure that's the technical term) taste. Either way, I devoured these bad boys like there was no tomorrow.

The Companies Act 2014 has been enacted, and will on commencement revolutionise company law in Ireland. The provisions of the Act consolidate the law relating to Irish companies, which currently encompasses more than 30 enactments, and will introduce significant reforms in a number of areas. The Act will provide a state of the art company law code to the users of Irish company law.
The heads of Bill were drafted by the Company Law Review Group (CLRG) and its innovations are based on its recommendations. Arthur Cox's Dr Tom Courtney, Head of the firm's Company Compliance and Governance Group, has been the Chairperson of the CLRG, and William Johnston, Banking Group Partner, has been a member of the CLRG, since its establishment in 2001.
Parts 1 to 15
Parts 1 to 15 of the Act set out comprehensively the law which will apply to the default company type under the proposed new legislation, being the new model private company limited by shares. A number of provisions simplify and improve the legislation relating to such companies.
Parts 16 to 25
Parts 16 to 25 of the Act deal, in turn, with additional provisions applying to other types of companies, e.g. public limited companies, companies limited by guarantee and unlimited companies.
The Act was formally published as the Companies Bill 2012 on 21 December 2012, and was enacted as the Companies Act 2014 on 23 December 2014. It is anticipated that the Act will be commenced with effect from 1 June 2015.

New Zealand has had its faults in its own treatment of its indigenous people, the Maori, but we have learned better interracial relationships over our mutual history, and continue to work towards improvement. Furthermore, there is plenty of opportunity for people of Maori blood to prosper in the same way as other Kiwis, and many of them do prosper.
I was going to write a review of Barnett's book, and haven't yet done so. In the meantime, however, I'm going to present some sentences and paragraphs I highlighted while I was reading the book. On their own they speak as well, if not better, than any review I could do. These are focused on the Australia issues. There are a number of NZ issues included in the book too, since Barnett is concerned that NZ doesn't follow Australia's path, something it appears to be learning towards.
Over 7100 people are in immigration detention in Australia and offshore according to February 2014 immigration records. Sadly this includes over 1100 children.11 The toll on these lives cuts deep even after they are released from detention.
These people have hope upon arrival but find only hopelessness inside prison instead. They expect safety and help but land inside barbed-wire indifference with no stated end to their sentence. They are subjected to multiple daily musters and head counts by uniformed even riot-gear-suited guards sometimes in the middle of the night with loudspeakers issuing orders in a language they can't always understand. They are moved repeatedly without notice to distant camps in handcuffs. They are subjected to room searches and solitary confinement. The people surrounding them are often suicidal or self-harming or are almost uniformly severely depressed. Most damagingly this is prison for those who perceive themselves to have done no crime.
The Senate passes three resolutions calling for an independent review. None occurs. Many of the women and children who died were attempting to reunite with their husbands and fathers who were denied the ability to sponsor them under harsh new Temporary Protection Visas or TPVs a policy Pauline Hanson championed. These visas mean each case has to be proven again three years after issue leaving lives in continual insecurity. (Three years earlier in 1998 Ruddock had objected strenuously to Hanson's policy suggestion. 'Can you imagine what temporary entry would mean for them? It would mean that people would never know whether they were able to stay here ... I regard the approach as being highly unconscionable in a way that most thinking people would clearly reject.' The following year Ruddock himself announced the introduction of Temporary Protection Visas.)
I understand how hope dies. I just can't support laws that erase it.
Many of these refugees have been isolated from Australia by being placed on neighbouring Pacific Islands. Here is a horrific article showing just how badly Australia is treating these people: The realities of life for mothers and children on Nauru.
I'd thought that the situation in Guantanamo Bay prison was horrific, and still wait for President Obama to follow through on his promises to close that place down. Australia seems to want to have its own Guantanamo...

Top Heart PNG Images
The heart could be a muscular organ in most animals that pumps blood through the blood vessels of the vascular system. Blood provides the body with Oxygen and nutrients, still as helping within the removal of metabolic wastes. In humans, the centre is found between the lungs, within the middle compartment of the chest. In humans, different mammals, and birds, the centre is split into four chambers: higher left and right atria and lower left and right ventricles. Usually, the proper atrium and ventricle are referred along because of the right heart and their left counterparts because of the left heart. Fish, in distinction, has 2 chambers, associate degree atrium and a ventricle, whereas reptiles have 3 chambers. During healthy heart, blood flows a technique through the centre because of heart valves that forestall flowing the centre is surrounded during a protecting sac, the serosa that conjointly contains a little quantity of fluid. The wall of the centre is formed from 3 layers: serosa, myocardium, and serosa.
The heart pumps blood with a rhythm determined by a bunch of pace making cells within the SA node.
These generate a current that causes contraction of the centre, travelling through the heart muscle and on the physical phenomenon system of the centre. The centre receives blood low in Oxygen from the circulation that enters the proper atrium from the superior and inferior venae cave and passes to the proper ventricle. From here it's pumped-up into the circulation, through the lungs wherever it receives Oxygen and provides off greenhouse emission. Ventilated blood then returns to the left atrium of the heart, passes through the ventricle and is pumped-up out through the artery to the general circulationwhere the Oxygen is employed and metabolized to greenhouse emission. The centre beats at a resting rate on the brink of seventy-two beats per minute. Exercise quickly will increase the speed, however, lowers resting pulse within the long run, and is sweet for heart health.

Ever since the adventurous pioneers crossed our country in covered wagons, road trips have been a great American tradition. Whether you are planning a late summer get-away or delivering your freshman to college this fall, these 7 Road Trip Tips will help you to enjoy your travel and make some lasting memories along the way.
- Prepare for Your Trip: Check-Up & Clean Up!
Whether you do it yourself or go to a garage, pre-trip auto maintenance is key to comfortable cruising. Check the wiper blades, all fluid levels (oil, water, etc.), belt and hose connections, tire pressure, turn signals, horn, headlights and your spare tire. Exactly how prepared you want to be as far as your in-car tool kit is up to you, but a few items are essential: cell phone charger, flashlight, batteries, bottled water, a tire iron, fire extinguisher, jumper cables, first-aid kit and reflectors/flares. We also like to have easy to eat non-perishable snacks tucked away for an emergency— such as dried fruit, nuts, protein and / or granola bars. Clean up and remove anything extraneous from your car before setting out. And finally, don't forget to bring a spare car key—because you just never know when you'll need it!
- License and Registration Please…
Be sure to have current documentation of license, registration and insurance in order and with you. Also remind your travel companions to pack their licenses if you plan to share the driving.
- Help On The Way
Join a roadside rescue service, there is nothing like the peace of mind a 24-hour 800-number can bring when traveling. There are also numerous road trip apps to assist you with everything from navigation to locating gasoline stations with best prices, places to eat, parking and much more. Simply search "road trip" in the Google Play or App Store.
- Have A Plan, But Leave Time for the Unknown
It is smart to decide in advance which city you will sleep in each night and to plan your driving time for eight hours a day or less. That said, be sure to allow time for delays and last-minute detours—intentional or otherwise. You may want to extend your lunch break in an interesting place or to stop for the night a bit early to enjoy the sunset from a new vista.
- Take A Scenic Route
Unless you have a very strict schedule, you won't see much along the way if you stick to the interstates. Most U.S. road maps have some indicator of whether a "back road" is an interesting scenic route. If you dare to wander a bit, you may be rewarded with stunning views and get a real feeling for regional life throughout America. Engage with residents, ask them where to eat to enjoy the local flavors rather than typical rest-stop fast food fare.
- Anticipate Traffic
Avoid being in the wrong place at the wrong time– like trying to get to "the Shore" or "the Mountain" from a metro-hub on Friday afternoon or into "the City" on a weekday morning at rush hour.
- Know Your Traveling Companions
Some folks are good at navigating and others, well… are not. Ask what really matters to your traveling companions; divvying up tasks that play to each persons strengths will help to keep everyone happy.

Morning Light – April 12th, 2016
Today: [Job Twenty-Nine] Do Good Works Leverage God? In this chapter Job looks longingly back at his past prosperity. He believes that now God has unfairly abandoned him. Did God abandon Job? If you are suffering could that ever be properly construed that God is punishing us in some way? On what basis does God bless us and put us in a place of advantage? Because of good works or moral excellence? Or because of God's grace and tender mercy?
[Job 29:1-25 KJV] 1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, 2 Oh that I were as [in] months past, as [in] the days [when] God preserved me; 3 When his candle shined upon my head, [and when] by his light I walked [through] darkness; 4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God [was] upon my tabernacle; 5 When the Almighty [was] yet with me, [when] my children [were] about me; 6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil; 7 When I went out to the gate through the city, [when] I prepared my seat in the street! 8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, [and] stood up. 9 The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth. 10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 11 When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me:
In this chapter Job looks back at his life and pines for the "good old days". One of the great dangers in life is looking back. Jesus warned about this in the gospel of Luke:
[Luk 9:62 KJV] 62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
Job longs for times past as those times "when the Almighty was with me…" Now answer the question – is God still with Job? Job might feel abandoned by God because of his circumstances but the fact of the matter is that God is still with Job and God isn't angry with Job. Negative circumstances are not a reliable indicator as to whether God is displeased with you in some way. In reading the first two chapters of Job we can see that God considered Job a good man and was not disapproving of him.
The trial came to Job because he lived in a fallen environment and was vulnerable to assault because of unreasoning fear. The enemy always wants us to base our understanding of God on outward circumstances that he can manipulate and therefore deceive us as Job is deceived in thinking that God is no longer with him. In Hebrews 13:5 we read "I will never leave you nor forsake you. In hard times and challenging circumstances you cannot go by feelings. Faith does not originate in emotion. Emotionally you may be struggling but faith runs deeper than emotion and is rooted in the confidence that though you are struggling and may not understand why you are going through a particular situation you are confident that God is with you and His word is reliable even though at the present time you are enduring contradictions to it's promise.
12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him. 13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy. 14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem. 15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame. 16 I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out. 17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job in remembering his past state of blessing and prosperity now goes on to reveal on what basis he thought his blessing came. He feed the poor. He took care of widows. He met the needs of the disabled. Is this why God blessed Job? For all of Job's benevolence he was still a fallen creature. Good works do not negate the sin condition in our hearts. Consider the words of Isaiah:
[Isa 64:6 KJV] 6 But we are all as an unclean [thing], and all our righteousnesses [are] as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
If God's blessing is predicated on good works or moral excellence then we have no need of a savior. Were you to be a great philanthropist and bestow many blessings upon the disadvantaged – in the court of heaven this would bring you no special status. The only standard of judgment before the throne of God is based on an appeal to His mercy that for us is ultimately found in the shed blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.
When you are under pressure and suffering it is very tempting to go back and look at our good works, our tithe record or church attendance. This is the definition of self righteousness – a perceived approach to God based on who we are or what we have done. The opposite of this is struggling with condemnation. We feel as though we are being punished for past wrongs. Looking back either way on our works or our failures is a perspective that denies the cross. To complain that we shouldn't be struggling because we are a good person ignores the efficacy of the shed blood of Calvary. Likewise to grieve because we feel we are being punished for previous misdeeds does not take into account that we have been forgiven and our sins are cleansed. Sometimes our friends and enemies alike are happy to bring up our past. It is easy to feel as though someone is being punished by God for something from their past life. What about us? The bible teaches that we are born in sin. We are sinners not because we sin but because we are born in sin. The only solution is the new birth. All the good works in our life cannot undo the sin debt of being born an enemy of God. Thus the self righteousness / self condemnation dichotomy is a unified indicator of a lack of understanding of the basis of our approach to God – in the Old Testament through the blood of a sacrificial animal, in the New Testament through faith in the blood of Christ.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply [my] days as the sand. 19 My root [was] spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch. 20 My glory [was] fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand. 21 Unto me [men] gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel. 22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them. 23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide [as] for the latter rain. 24 [If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down. 25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one [that] comforteth the mourners.
Job first asserts his righteousness and then states what his expectations were because of his opinion regarding his own goodness. He expected God to be impressed. He expected men to be impressed. He is shocked that anyone could genuinely not believe and readily acknowledge what a good person he actually is. His opinion of himself is so lofty he feels utterly justified to question the faithfulness of God. This is why unbelief is considered transgression because it is rooted in a sense of entitlement that is based on our good opinion of ourselves. This is the thinking that arises from the fall – that men can be like God independent of God and therefore leverage God to act in our behalf. Nothing could be further from the truth. God moves in our lives and shows mercy to us not because of who we are or what we have done but because of who Jesus is and what He did for us 2000 years ago. Because of that fact we cannot expect to earn privilege with God in terms of answered prayer. Likewise we can resist the suggestion of Satan that God will not hear our prayers because of our own failures and shortcomings. God accepts us and hears our prayers because of Jesus regardless of whatever spiritual state we may find ourselves in at the time.

Introducing 'IHAWKe': A Unifying Organization for Students in Engineering's Diversity & Women's Program
LAWRENCE — Diversity programs at the University of Kansas School of Engineering are being reimagined and rebranded with a new name: IHAWKe, which stands for Indigenous, Hispanic, African-American and Women KU engineers.
The rebranding takes place under the leadership of Andrew Williams, the school's new associate dean for diversity, equity & inclusion. He said the new name reflects what he hopes will be renewed collaboration among IHAWKe's constituent groups, including the American Indian Science & Engineering Society, the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers and the Society of Women Engineers.
"We want to brand it something that would appeal to them — something that would also capture the fact that there's a lot of similarities in what the organizations are for, but also to allow for the distinct student organizations that have existed in diversity and women's programs," he said.
Where the different groups have similar needs and missions, Williams said, he hopes IHAWKe will provide an umbrella for collaboration — on everything from recruiting members to mentoring students to sponsoring events that help members network and build professional skills.
"Now we're having each of the student leaders of those diversity and women's programs meet together almost every other week, to talk about ideas to do things together and also collaborate on projects," Williams said. "This allows them to still maintain their distinct identity but also work together."
Matthew McFarlane, a master's student in architectural engineering who serves as treasurer of KU's NSBE chapter, said he's looking forward to the new collaborative efforts. The regular meetings among group leaders, he said, give each group a chance to learn from the ideas and experiences of the other groups at the table — exactly, he said, how diversity should work in professional settings.
"We've worked collaboratively, but not very collaboratively outside of diversity-specific events," McFarlane said. "Instead of a bunch of different groups trying to do events or a mentoring program, it helps the overall organization grow together."
IHAWKe is the latest iteration of diversity efforts in the School of Engineering. In 1971, the school established the Student Council for Recruiting Motivating and Educating Black Engineers, SCoRMEBE. Over the years, those efforts grew to include other minority student organizations under the Office of Diversity and Women's Programs, which was run by Florence Boldridge from 1983 until her retirement last spring.
Williams hopes to move those efforts forward, which also includes faculty diversity and K-12 outreach programs.
"What IHAWKe should be," he said, "is something under the umbrella of the Diversity & Women's Programs that lets the student know that they can be part of changing the world, connecting with others and conquering their classes."

Larsen Biathlon Rifle Carry Harness. Hands down the best harness on the market. Proven and tested for years by IBU athletes. It is the harness of choice for comfort and quality. Don't settle for second best when it comes to this vital part of your equipment.
Larsen's harness is the benchmark in the business and is used together with other products from the company by the majority of participants in the world today. Conventional harnesses consisted of two nylon belts. The Larsen design distances the rifle from the back but still keeps the rifle firmly in place. An earlier version is on display in the Ski Museum in Holmenkollen outside Oslo!
This is the new generation of harness designed with the help of 'test pilots' such as Ole Einar Bjørndalen. The focus is on a more streamlined design to reduce wind resistance.

The leader of a major political party cannot be expected to have time to watch too much television. Nonetheless it was a tad unfortunate, when visiting Bradford on Saturday, that Ed Miliband had not heard of Make Bradford British. This was the much criticised reality TV experiment that stoked racial tensions in the West Yorkshire city by shoving Bradfordians of different colours and creeds together earlier this year.
It wouldn't have mattered had one of the first guests he met on his mission to woo Bradford not been Sabbiyah Pervez, a young Muslim mother sent by Channel 4 to pull pints in a local pub and then filmed being racially abused by the customers.
"I was on Make Bradford British," said the petite 23-year-old by way of introduction to the Labour leader. "Great!" said Miliband, beaming at her camouflage print headscarf and exquisitely made-up face. "Tell me about the scheme!" Pervez paused. "Didn't you watch it?" Miliband cocked his head to one side: this clearly had not been in his briefing pack. Pervez helped him out: "It was a TV programme."
In that case, said Miliband, he would most certainly be watching it now. Good, said Pervez, launching into an exuberant precis of her short life that not only detailed the racial intolerance she had experienced taking part in the documentary but also the forced marriage she suffered in the city as a teenager.
It was a little hiccup in what was an otherwise admirable and assured attempt at persuading the Muslim women of Bradford that the Labour party cared about them and their city. Miliband had been invited by the Bradford Muslim Women's Council (BMWC), an organisation set up in 2010 to give Muslim women a voice and access to a national political, social and cultural platform.
He had a mountain to climb. The 70 women who turned up to the event at the Media Museum were a polite, if sceptical audience, warned at the start to demonstrate the "Islamic etiquette of respectful dialogue".
Many of them had voted for George Galloway in the byelection in March and, like Pervez, had plumped for councillors from his Respect party at the local elections in May.
Worse, most of them had come to the conclusion that the Labour party did not welcome women like them. "It's an old boy's club!" shouted one woman. Another told Miliband that she had been a paid-up member of the Labour party for 15 years, but had relinquished her membership after being shunned by the men who dominated her local branch in the Manningham area of Bradford.
The women told Miliband his party had taken their support for granted.
He could not disagree – it is a source of particular embarrassment that he had been so assured of a Labour victory in Bradford West that his advisers were briefing journalists even after polls closed that he would be on the first train north in the morning to celebrate the continuation of 38 uninterrupted years of Labour rule in the constituency.
But worse than looking smug and out of touch, Labour's dramatic defeat – a 5,000 Labour majority was transformed into a 10,000 majority for Respect – revealed some extremely uncomfortable home truths about the modern practices of a party that has always prided itself on its inclusiveness.
A postmortem revealed Bradford's Labour party had become dominated by powerful Pakistani elders who played clan politics, exploiting the so-called Biraderi system, which demanded loyalties of those whose families came from the same Kashmiri villages. While Galloway recruited an army of women in niqabs and hijabs to talk to their sisters in Urdu and Gujarati, male Labour canvassers were knocking on doors and asking grown women if their husbands were in.
This from a party whose deputy leader, Harriet Harman, was breastfeeding in the House of Commons in the 1980s.
Sensibly, Miliband began with a mea culpa. "I'm here, honestly, partly because of what happened in the Bradford West byelection, because that was a big wake-up call for the Labour party," he told the women. "We lost very, very badly and we didn't realise we were going to lose until we had lost." The party, he said, had "specifically failed in relation to Muslim women and younger members of the Muslim community" in the city.
But, he said, the defeat had actually been a blessing in disguise. "Because it's a reminder to us that no area can in any way be taken for granted," he said. "It's also a reminder that people are pretty fed up with politics; people think all politicians are the same, that they break their promises and that people think it won't make any difference who we vote for. And I think part of the attraction of George Galloway was that maybe he offered something different – it's not something I agree with, but that's what I think the attraction was."
Talking to many of the women on Saturday, it was clear that while few shared Labour's support for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, many identified with the party's core values – a belief in wealth redistribution, a rejection of austerity as a way to make good the deficit. They'd just fallen out of love with Labour and voted instead for a party that seemed to care about them. As Sarah Khan, an interpreter with the courts service, put it: "Voting for George Galloway was a protest vote. Bradford women were disappointed with Labour."
Another said that she never even knew the name of her old Labour councillor and only ever saw him when he was asking for her vote (or rather her husband's) around election time. "Now I even have my Respect councillor's mobile number!" she exclaimed, waving her phone.
Reconnecting with voters all year round is one of Miliband's key aims as he tries to reshape Labour as a "ground-up rather than top-down" party.
But it's difficult to win over an audience if you can't offer solutions to their problems. Miliband was forced to admit that many of the women's gripes were issues over which he had no control. He explained, for example, that the much maligned "black hole" in the city centre where a shopping centre was supposed to be built (now site of the Occupy Bradford camp) was owned by Westfield, not the Labour-led council. Sorting out this development was one of Galloway's key campaign pledges, along with bringing troops back from Afghanistan and Iraq and scrapping university tuition fees. "I'm not going to make promises to you three years before a general election without knowing what I can actually deliver," said Miliband.
But he came up with some ideas that went down well – schools from his constituency in predominantly white Doncaster could link up with their Muslim-heavy counterparts in Bradford so that children can learn about diversity first hand, he suggested, to murmurs of approval.
Miliband was sent back to London with a warning from the event organiser ringing in his ears. Underestimate Muslim women at your peril, said Bana Gora, chair of the BMWC and Bradford programme director for the Joseph Rowntree Foundation. "There's a lot of men who fear strong women, who want them to be wallflowers," she said.
"Whereas the prophet, that's not the type of people he encouraged. His wives were women who talked back."
