The results of a contest sponsored by the White House shows how powerful a dose of design can be in treating what ails our medical system.
Electronic medical records (EMR) are extremely useful tools and can help improve patient care and reduce costs — if designed and used properly. Unfortunately, good design is hard to come by in this market. Health IT data standards, privacy laws, and impenetrable health systems complicate an already challenging design process and usually lead to lackluster products.
One of the glaring problems is that it can be difficult for patients to gain access to their medical records. In an effort to combat this problem, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) developed a program called "Blue Button," a feature of VA EMRs that allows patients to download their results.
The program has been a huge success since its launch in August of 2010, with over 500,000 patients in the VA system using the service. The Blue Button functionality has since rolled out to Medicare patients and even private insurers like United Healthcare are in the process of implementing it.
Only one problem: Its output looks horrible.
Ryan Panchadsaram, a Presidential Innovation Fellow and former startup founder organized a competition with the goal of making Blue Button more than a tool for access, but one that would give patients actionable information, stat.
"We were inspired by the creativity of designers, their ability to take something that exists, transform it, and make it more valuable and usable," says Panchadsaram. "Our hope was to challenge some of the best across the country to take the simple text health record and create a better patient experience by improving the layout and applying a layer of visual design."
"We have assembled a showcase of the top entries that challenged the status quo for the entire health community to be inspired by and learn from," he explains. "Our next step is for the curators to select a final design (that may combine elements from various submissions) to be built and open sourced on the code-sharing site GitHub. Our objective is to build the Bootstrap for the patient health record. With these tools, electronic health record software companies across the country should be able to integrate the final design into their products and contribute to the open-source project."
The competition had four goals:
- Improve the visual layout and style of the information from the medical record
- Create a human-centered design that makes it easier for patient to manage their health
- Enable health professionals to more effectively understand and use patients' health information
- Help family members and friends care for their loved ones
In the end, 230 individuals and groups responded, and were evaluated by design experts from the government and design worlds, including renowned pixel surgeon Nicholas Felton.
Even though the designers worked independently, certain themes carried through many of the winning entries. iPhone and iPad apps were seen as natural evolution of EMRs even though few exist today. Overall health "scores" presented as a number inside of a circle were also popular, as well as including photos of the patients and their caregivers, a design feature common in social services, but almost unheard of in EMRs. Designers can't replace doctors, but they have produced a clear prescription for better tools.

Florida's Bike Week Can Mean More Accidents
Motorcyclists and bike enthusiasts filled the streets of Daytona for Bike Week. Between March 4 and March 13, fans of motorbikes gathered to appreciate the vehicles, share their interests in the topic, and have a good time. For the 75th consecutive year, Daytona Bike Week drew large crowds. Businesses and community organizations donated their time and merchandise to help the event.
However, the increase in motorcyclist in Florida translates to a higher risk of an accident. Florida leads the nation with the number of motorcycle accidents that occur every year. In their most recent study, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that an average of 4,668 motorcyclists were killed in a year, while another 88,000 were injured. One of the primary causes of the crashes is riding while intoxicated.
While the Daytona Bike Week is a time to celebrate shared interests in motorcycles, it is important to take precautions and follow the rules. Many revelers will participate in eating and drinking during the festivities. It is important, however, not to ride your bike while drunk. Not only does the motorcyclists put their own safety at risk, they endanger the lives of others on the road.
Tips for Motorists:
- Be mindful of others on the road
- Give other riders enough space
- Look and listen, both for potential dangerous drivers and pedestrians
- Adhere to all traffic laws
- Avoid distracted driving
At The Pittman Firm, P.A., we want everyone to have a great time at the Bike Week. However, safety is important. If you were injured because of a negligent motorcyclists, you may be eligible for compensation. Contact our Panama City motorcycle accident attorneys today for a free consultation. We will review your case and inform you of your legal rights. Don't let someone else's mistakes cost you and your family.

WordPress offers a superb all-round solution for the fast and cost-effective development of the majority of the websites I'm asked to design – from single landing pages to full-scale corporate sites and even ecommerce.
Started as a blogging platform, WordPress has become a fully-featured open source content management system (CMS), with a huge selection of graphical and functional options.
Typically, a graphical theme is applied over the top of the underlying WordPress CMS and there are a great many to choose from, according to the style and intention of the website in development. It's also possible to create fully a bespoke WordPress graphical interface, if that's required.
By applying a fully responsive WordPress theme, your website will automatically display intelligently across all browsing platforms: desktop, tablet and mobile.

Colombo Dance Factory, Zurich, Switzerland
March 18, 2012 § 6 Comments
Heinrichstrasse 267
8005 Zürich
Tel 044 272 55 30
It is tricky to find so be sure to look at their map before going.
Well lucky you! You get to visit the Zurich Colombo Dance Factory's website AFTER the update. It was a nightmare before, there wasn't even the schedule on it! Arrgh! Now it is all complete and navigable, yay!
Sadly, I only took two classes here since I have been quite ill for some time. I was in Zurich for a month and only took 3 dance classes. :O(
Since I was so out of shape, I took the beginner/intermediate ('A/M,' meaning 'Anfanger' [beginner] and 'Mittelsuffe' [intermediate] in German) class with Daniell' Ficola on Monday evening, and another 'A/M' class on a Wednesday evening. I think the Wednesday teacher was a substitute though, I don't recall her name. She was not very technically professional…it was strange!
The dance center has that urban dance center feel, which I like…reminds me of taking class at Broadway Dance Center in NYC. At Colombo Dance Factory, there is an acting, singing and dance program gearing students toward a career in show business. Much like many NYC dance centers.
Daniell' Ficola (above)
Daniell' Ficola's class was very enjoyable, nothing magic but satisfactory. She is a fun, smiley and relaxed teacher. Combinations were not too complicated, so I would say the class is more beginner than intermediate. Be sure to try to be close to the studio door once the previous class lets out; her class is quite popular and therefore crowded, so try to get in to get a good place at the barre. Studio size…average. Though with so many people it feels small! If it is winter and the heaters are on, try to get on the portable barre that they drag out into the center, and not on the barres attached to the rear wall right above the HEATERS!!! It gets so hot even after pliés! hehe
Zurich Dance Studio Reviews, Coming Soon!
February 14, 2012 § 3 Comments
I have not written anything here for a while….perhaps I didn't think there were any ballet studio reviews to write after Marameo hehe.
But! I am in Zurich, Switzerland now until the end of February 2012, and I have already taken classes at two dance studios: Ballett-Tanz Institut Franziska Frei and Colombo Dance Factory.
SADLY I was not able to attend ANY events on the various days of the Prix de Lausanne :O( I was busy getting married! What the hell!?? So not fair. hahaha
Anyhow, I need to take more classes between the two dance centers to develop a more-informed opinion about each studio, so I will be reviewing my little tail off in just a bit! See ya soon!
Dance Studio Review: Marameo, Kreuzberg / Mitte, Berlin, Germany
September 7, 2011 § 6 Comments
Wallstrasse 32
D – 10179 Berlin
U-Bahn: U8 Heinrich-Heine Strasse or U2 Markisches Museum
Space, the final frontier….that ballet studios in Berlin have yet to conquer. Seriously, at every dance studio in Berlin, the 'saals' become unpleasantly crowded once attendance reaches 15. I did not realize this until I FINALLY went to the enormous, beautiful and perfect Marameo, but in these crowded dance studios, you actually train yourself to hold back, to make your movements smaller.
Want to go all out and give 100% in a small, crowded studio? Go for it, but you are going to smack someone upside the head with your jete' entrelace', or run into the mirror (see my review of Dock 11)
Tombe' Pas de Bouree: 'The Gateway' and Kicking Yourself in the Butt :O)
September 1, 2011 § 2 Comments
I have been learning so much these past few months going between various teachers in several ballet studios in Berlin! Now it is nice to finally sit down and share one of the things that I discovered is super-important in moving from beginner's technique into intermediate and advanced technique.
It seems so easy, it is a series of steps we always do and forget to focus on improving…perhaps we feel it is just a way to get from point A to point B, rather than an important part of the dance itself. It is the wonderful transitional step, the traveling tombee pas de bouree (let's abbreviate it to 'TpdB' from now on, yikes!). Remember, in this post I am talking about a traveling TpdB that often leads up to a pirouette, or in grand allegro, not the smaller pas de bourre' by itself in petit allegro.
There were 2 big TpdB things that I learned recently in Matthew Thomas' 3-day adagio summer ballet workshop in Berlin:
Finally….the Homemade Flexistretcher
August 5, 2011 § 6 Comments
Oh dear dears, yes I know it took me a million years to finally post the pictures of my make-your-own-Flexistretcher! You know how it is though, if you dance you are lazy about everything…except actually going to class.
So here it is, and it works! I would even wager that it gives a better stretch than the real Flexistretcher, as mine does not have elastic pieces for extra 'give.' Who wants slack and give anyway? You want to crank the hell out of your leg! hahaha

Don't Make Your Ballet Teacher Depressed: Give 100%
May 20, 2011 § 6 Comments
I know, it sounds funny, but it is something I never have thought about. Thanks to my current teacher, Mirco Fila at Escuela de Danza María Carbonell in Valencia, Spain for quite vocally showing his frustration at the class today for looking like zombies just going through the motions. I appreciated this as it shows he cares about our progress and thinks we can DO IT.
Many teachers spend much of the day teaching, or if not, perhaps they have a day job from which the come to do something hopefully fun and engaging. Imagine spending all day watching students not giving 100%, looking dead when they execute steps (and not dance!)….that must be depressing!!!
But trying to keep your adult beginner ballet teacher off the anti-depressants not only benefits her/him, it benefits YOU. « Read the rest of this entry »

Martial World - Chapter 1249
Chapter 1249 - The Defeated Nether Limitless
''My talent is inferior to yours, and even my strength is inferior?'' Nether Limitless laughed wildly as he heard Lin Ming's words, extremely wildly!
''Hahahahahahaha! I didn't say that your talent is truly the best amongst 100 great worlds, only that your talent can match the peak standard! Are you really so deluded that your think your talent is unparalleled? Do you believe that not only is your talent unrivalled, but also your strength? You want to teach me? Really, if I gave you a ladder you would think you could climb to the top!''
Nether Limitless fused true essence into his voice, having it spread through the arena!
As the disciples of the Skydark Holy Lands heard this, all of them rose up in anger. The entire Skydark Holy Lands area was roiled up in a chaotic mob.
''This brat is too arrogant!''
''Senior-apprentice Brother Nether, kick his ass until even his mom doesn't recognize him!''
''Beat up that brat! Throw him off the divine Seal Altar! Beat him into a pulp!''
It had to be known that the Skydark Holy Lands had an extraordinary status. With Nether Limitless added on, there were over 10,000 martial artists from the Skydark Holy Lands present, of which 8000-9000 were juniors.
The First Martial Meeting was a wild scene that caused everyone to go crazy with emotion. Let alone these martial artists that often resorted to violence to solve all of their problems, even in mortal nations, there was likely to be riots after kickball matches. Once the fans of these kickball matches rose up, it wasn't strange if dozens or hundreds of people were trampled to death.
The 8000-9000 junior disciples of the Skydark Holy Lands were roused into a frothing rage. Even the other martial artists from the Demondawn Great World were going mad. They originally had disciples attending the semifinals, but now that they had all been eliminated, Nether Limitless was the only one to come from their great world. Since they had the closest relations with them, they naturally had to support Nether Limitless.
Xiao Daochild slightly opened his eyes, faintly frowning. His figure moved and he flew over the chaotic part of the arena. A great pressure suddenly came crashing down from the skies, and all of those mad spectators were forced down by this pressure, immediately subdued. Otherwise, with billions of people in the audience and all of them formidable geniuses of their era, once a riot occurred, let alone Xiao Daochild, not even a Great World King would be able to suppress them. Perhaps only an Empyrean could do so.
As the Ancient Phoenix Clan saw those from the Skydark Holy Lands go crazy, they also started to cry out. The Ancient Phoenix Clan only had several hundred disciples present, but every disciple was shouting as loudly as they could!
''Lin Ming will win!''
''Senior-apprentice Brother Lin is unstoppable!''
Whether or not they believed Lin Ming could win at this time, none of them would weaken their momentum!
And in fact, with this sort of scene at the divine Realm First Martial Meeting that involved the very honor of a sect, it was easy for others to be infected with the atmosphere. At this time, they simply didn't care if Lin Ming would win. Rather, they would all do their best to maintain the honor of their sect. Making sure that their own side had the greatest momentum was the most important matter right now!
''Nether Limitless isn't willing to admit that his own talent is inferior to Lin Ming's, but the truth is already placed right in front of him. But, what he said is also correct. Lin Ming's current strength is lacking and he might not be able to win. But, after one or two years have passed, Lin Ming will likely surpass Nether Limitless. Out of the four people, Lin Ming is the youngest and his future is also the brightest!''
A clear-headed spectator commented. There were many Elders and juniors that weren't related to either Lin Ming or Nether Limitless, and they were calmly discussing the situation.
''Heh, Nether Limitless absolutely cannot lose this match. He already loses in talent. If he loses in strength also, then he won't be able to even lift his head up high!''
Currently, Nether Limitless should be the victor of this battle. If he couldn't win, then his face would sweep the ground.
On the divine Seal Altar, Nether Limitless slowly walked towards Lin Ming. Suddenly, something strange occurred. Every three steps that Nether Limitless walked forwards, he would leave behind a shadow. This shadow was a complete copy of Nether Limitless;all of them held a katana in their hands and all of them had an extremely dangerous aura. This was not an afterimage left behind by moving too fast. Rather, Nether Limitless was moving at an extremely slow speed, just like a normal mortal walking. Even so, he left behind three remnant shadows, making it seem as if there were four of him.
''Avatar technique?''
''No, that is the Space Laws!''
Nether Limitless had extremely high attainments in the Space and Time Laws. And, once one perceived the Space Laws to a certain degree, they could create spatial mirror projections.
These mirror images were different from illusions - they had true striking power. According to one's understanding of the Space Laws, their striking power could vary between 10% to 100% of the main body!
If one could reach 100% reproduction, then that was a perfect mirror image. If one could reach the peak in this aspect, their mirror images would even inherit the Laws, martial skills, combat experience, and memories of the original. That was a truly incomprehensible boundary.
Moreover, an important factor was that these mirror images did not fear attacks. Shattering a mirror image wasn't difficult, but doing so cost true essence, and these mirror images could even be reformed afterwards!
''It's actually spatial mirror images. By perfectly fusing the first four level Concepts of the Space Laws together and tracing the threshold of the fifth level Concept, he can actually form spatial mirror images!''
''Lin Ming is a monstrous genius, but so is Nether Limitless. The Space and Time Laws are known as second amongst the most difficult Laws to comprehend. He is so young and yet he has managed to perceive them to such a degree. This really makes us older generation martial artists feel useless!''
On the divine Seal Altar, Lin Ming now had to battle four opponents!
Four Nether Limitlesses simultaneously attacked!
Four swords slashed out together. In the skies, dark clouds began to gather as snow fluttered to the ground, filling the world!
''Drifting Snow of 8000 Miles!''
At the same time he created spatial mirror images using the Space Laws, Nether Limitless also displayed his Ice Law killing move. His ability to fuse Laws together was truly praiseworthy!
In just this Drifting Snow of 8000 Miles, every single snowflake contained Laws and Concepts. If these snowflakes touched someone, they could even freeze a Life Destruction martial artist to death. With millions and billions of snowflakes falling down, it could kill all living creatures for thousands of miles!
To Nether Limitless, this was his ultimate killing move. He had originally planned to use it at the finals of the divine Realm First Martial Meeting, but now he was forced by Lin Ming to show his hand here.
Facing this strike, Lin Ming pointed his long spear to the ground. Behind him, the Prime Emperor Lotus Flower began to quietly bloom.
Facing Nether Limitless's all-out attack, Lin Ming directly opened the grandmist space! An ancient and boundless power erupted. As those endless snowflakes fell into the grandmist space, all of them began to melt away!
Using the grandmist space was something that Lin Ming had already consulted with Mo Eversnow about and decided on before the divine Realm First Martial Meeting had begun.
Facing these countless masters of the divine Realm, as well as the unfathomably deep Empyrean descendants, he would need to use the grandmist space sooner or later. Otherwise, there was no chance that Lin Ming would win. After all, he was only at the early divine Sea realm.
If he failed to blossom in the First Martial Meeting, he wouldn't be able to enter Vast Universe Heavenly Palace, let alone study the divine Dream Law from Empyrean divine Dream. To study the divine Dream Law was something that Lin Ming desperately wished for.
After the grandmist space was camouflaged with Mo Eversnow's technique, even a World King wouldn't be able to see through it. The only chance was if they had seen Empyrean Primordius use the grandmist space with their own eyes in the past. But, Empyrean Primordius was someone with a similar status to Empyrean divine Dream. And just how mysterious was Empyrean divine Dream? Even if one became the champion of the divine Realm First Martial Meeting and reached first place on the Heaven Proclamation, they still wouldn't be able to see her!
Even an ordinary World King or Great World King did not have the chance to see her! And wanting to see Empyrean divine Dream display her full strength was an even greater impossibility. Only a similar Empyrean level character would be able to see her strength with their own eyes!
In other words, unless one was an Empyrean level existence similar to Empyrean Primordius, then even an Empyrean chief disciple like Vast Cosmos wouldn't be able to recognize the camouflaged grandmist space.
Perhaps the grandmist space being recognized by an Empyrean was an inevitability. But, Lin Ming believed that these characters would certainly know of the great war 100,000 years ago, when Empyrean Primordius had waged a cataclysmic war with Empyrean Thunder Punishment and other peerless powerhouses.
This war had involved countless masters of the divine Realm, and had likely even included God Beasts. It was even likely that Empyrean Primordius or Empyrean Thunder Punishment had perished because of this!
How could such a great matter not be known by other Empyreans?
They should also have guessed that Empyrean Primordius had left his inheritance within the Sky Spill Continent.
But, the reason that they turned a blind eye to all this definitely wasn't simple at all.
In other words, those that could recognize the grandmist space would also know about Empyrean Primordius's inheritance. As for those that couldn't recognize the grandmist space, they wouldn't know anything at all, so letting them see the grandmist space wasn't a big deal.
Drawing back 10,000 steps, even if someone coveted the transcendent divine might known as the Primordius martial intent, it was still impossible for them to take it away from Lin Ming, because Lin Ming didn't have a jade slip at all. Even if they caught Lin Ming and searched his soul they would still find nothing.
There was indeed danger, but Lin Ming had to make a desperate gamble no matter what. If he could truly blossom in splendor at this First Martial Meeting, then no one would be able to move against him.
The resources of an Empyrean Heavenly Palace, the divine Dream Law, these were chances that he absolutely could not let go of!
In the instant that he released the grandmist space, within Vast Universe Heavenly Palace, all the supreme elders there were able to see that the Drifting Snow of 8000 Miles was being rapidly melted away by some bizarre force field!
''Mm? This is...''
''It is a domain ability, an extremely powerful force field. Could it be a transcendent divine might?'' Several Great World King powerhouses could all see shock reflected in each other's eyes.
''It should be an ability on the level of a transcendent divine might! Moreover, it is quite complete... it could be 20-30% complete. This Lin Ming truly had great lucky chances. It is impossible for an influence like the Ancient Phoenix Clan to possess a transcendent divine might.''
''That is also reasonable. Without a great fortuitous encounter, how could he possibly grow to this degree and stand on the 31ststep of the divine Seal Altar? Even that Dragon Fang must have encountered some heaven-shaking lucky chance!''
These World Kings were a little surprised that Lin Ming possessed a transcendent divine might, but they had already guessed this long ago.
To be able to stand at this height, who wouldn't possess a transcendent divine might? These Great Holy Lands, if they didn't possess a complete transcendent divine might, they would at least possess an incomplete one. As for the Empyrean descendants, they certainly had at least one complete transcendent divine might!
However, at the center of the grand hall, there was one person, Vast Cosmos, who had a strange expression on his face. ''This force field seems like...''
Vast Cosmos seemed to make some vague associations in his mind. But, before he could think about it further, in less than the blink of an eye, Lin Ming had already attacked Nether Limitless!
In this moment, Lin Ming's entire body was burning with deep red flames. From deep in his heart, purple fire erupted. Even his gaze seemed to hold an inferno.
He opened the Heretical God Force to the limit and completely burnt the phoenix blood within him. On the Phoenix Blood Spear, two divine lights of red and purple began to shine!
Purple was virtual fire! Red was true fire!
The divine lights intertwined, fusing together. This spear strike was the peak utilization of Lin Ming's Fire Laws!
Nether Limitless comprehended the first four level Concepts of the Space Laws and Water Laws, even tracing the threshold of the fifth level Concept. This achievement was enough to earn him endless praise.
But as for Lin Ming, he had already stepped past the threshold of the fifth level Concept of the Fire Laws. He had achieved the boundary of truly summoning virtual fire!
This fifth level Concept was a completely new level. Stepping into a threshold and tracing it were two completely different boundaries. This was the greatest harvest that Lin Ming had gained after entering the divine Dream World and swallowing up the spirit source!
''Concept of Virtual Fire - Virtual Disintegration!''
Lin Ming poured all of the flames that wreathed his body into the Phoenix Blood Spear.
Purple and red flames twisted together on the Phoenix Blood Spear. Facing the four Nether Limitlesses and the endless dominion of snow around them, his attack seemed common and weak. But, in that instant, the Prime Emperor Lotus Flower wrapped around Lin Ming. He burst forwards, his speed reaching the limit as he directly tore apart that curtain of endless snow!
Underneath Nether Limitless's control, the millions of snowflakes swirled together, gathering into a massive white tornado that swept towards Lin Ming.
But, Lin Ming remained unstoppable, breaking through everything!
With the grandmist space, he had wiped away the increased striking power from Nether Limitless's Space Laws.
Then, with his Concept of Virtual Fire that he comprehended by truly stepping into the fifth level of the Fire Laws, he completely nullified Nether Limitless's Drifting Snow of 8000 Miles!
With both of them being elemental Laws, when the fifth level Concept of Fire was compared to the fourth level Concept of Water, it was obvious which was stronger and which was weaker!
Lin Ming's spear broke through Nether Limitless's pervasive sword light, immediately reaching his front!
With four Nether Limitlesses present, an ordinary martial artist would be hard-pressed to differentiate them. But, to Lin Ming this was not a problem at all. When the grandmist space came shrouding down, the energy of the spatial mirror images had been suppressed, and even seemed on the verge of dissipating. Although he wasn't able to cause the mirror images to completely collapse, it was still enough for Lin Ming to separate out Nether Limitless's true body!
The Phoenix Blood Spear aimed straight towards the true Nether Limitless's chest. In that moment, Nether Limitless was greatly shocked!
He cut down with his sword towards Lin Ming. But, he had just used all his strength and hadn't been able to summon any new strength. Moreover, this was only a hasty counterattack - how could he possibly block Lin Ming?
The Phoenix Blood Spear broke past Nether Limitless's final sword light and pierced through his protective true essence!
Nether Limitless's protective true essence completely burst apart. The power of virtual fire flushed into Nether Limitless's body. In that moment, Nether Limitless's heart filled with endless anger and jealousy!
He hated Lin Ming's talent, he envied Lin Ming's talent, he was unwilling to believe that Lin Ming's talent was superior to his own. He seethed with fury that he would lose under the gaze of all present, becoming nothing but a miserable loser!
The flames of envy and anger were all types of virtual fire. As Lin Ming's strike hit Nether Limitless, it caused all of the anger and jealousy within him to expand to the limit, becoming increasingly wild and intense, as if Nether Limitless's body would soon burn away!
His eyes turned blood red;his body would explode at any moment!
''You've lost!''
Underneath the rules of this competition and with Xiao Daochild watching from the side, it was impossible for Lin Ming to kill. He simply swept out the Phoenix Blood Spear and struck Nether Limitless with the spear shaft.
At this time, Nether Limitless's protective true essence had already broken. When the spear shaft struck him, he spat out a mouthful of blood as he was sent flying backwards!
In that instant, the insufferably arrogant Nether Limitless spun in the air before coming crashing back down on the divnie Seal Altar with blood splashing everywhere!
Nether Limitless had been defeated!
Lin Ming took a deep breath and adjusted his chaotic true essence. He put away the Phoenix Blood Spear. With the pressure of the 31st step pressing down on him, using Virtual Disintegration had consumed a good deal of energy.
The martial arts arena had fallen into complete silence. Even the faint and elusive Xiao Daochild had opened his eyes and was staring straight at Lin Ming.

Last year, the library conducted a survey of adults over 55 about their knowledge and interest in services and programs. Can you guess what was one of the top areas of interest? If you said technology, you were right. With the help of the Senior Advisory board, we created an inter-generational program called Tech Talk: Exploring 21st Century technologies with teens. Two of the Senior Advisory board members specifically mentioned that seniors are on fixed incomes and wanted to learn about and how to use new technologies. Often they hesitate in purchasing new technologies unless they know if it will make their life easier or more enjoyable. This program pairs up teens with older adults to explore and learn about new technology.
Members of the Teen Advisory Board volunteered to be trained and then share their knowledge about a variety of technologies. The two hour training involved exploring learning styles, how to communicate technology concepts and included a demonstration between an older adult and the trainer. The training was an eye opener for not only the teens but also the trainer (me!).
I was not aware of the different types of cell phones that are currently available, the teens straightened me out about them. The older adult in the training asked "what is an iPod or an MP3 player and is there any difference?" The teens explained that the difference was the software used to play audio files. The older adult said "Oh, they are similar to a Walkman." The teens then asked " What's a Walkman?" I replied, " Oh, they played audio cassettes." To which the teens replied, "What's an audio cassette?"
The program was attended by four older adults. These adults were interested in how to use a digital camera, what is an iPod, and how to download audio books. The adults not only learned about the technology for which they were originally interested, but also about additional technologies as they talked to their teens.
The older adults expressed their appreciation and were generally impressed with the teens' knowledge and ability to show them how to use the various technologies. One adult even brought in her own camera to be
shown how to use it. Another person had been wanting to download audio books from the library's website but didn't understand how or what equipment she would need. She was very proud at the end of the program
and was headed off to the store to buy an MP3 player that would allow her to play audio books.
The survey and the Tech Talk program was my leadership challenge project for the Urban Libraries Council's Executive Leadership Institute. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to participate and grow as a leader and hopefully in a small way impact library service to older adults. There have been two other staff members who have participated in this program previously. Their leadership challenge project continues in
the form of Library Take-Out.

Some projects are hard, aren't they? I put thousands of my projects in the 'too hard' basket, the challenge then overwhelms me and sometimes I revisit them, sometimes I don't. Starting new projects is easy, it's always new and exciting…the hard part is finishing it. (Read: 9 Ultimate mental strength tips) Normally, time and interruptions help me decide if it was a good idea and if I should commit to going ahead, and if my gut says 'yes', then the re-visit takes place and I take small steps to get it done. Then finally, at some point… it gets done, I manage to complete the project. But, how many times did I say to myself, that's it, I'm giving up, it's too hard? How many times did a project crumble in front of me? How many times did I say, I'm not good for it, nobody cares, it's too complicated, I don't have the courage?
Plenty of times!
But like any challenge that helps you grow and evolve – of course it's going to be hard.
I bumped into a mother I knew from the school the other day, she is a self-less women, always giving up her time and energy, busy doing something for the school or someone else. She has nine children – 9 – so you can imagine how busy she would be. One of her sons had been seriously ill, but had recovered, thank goodness, and I was asking how he was doing. We chatted about what we were both up to of late and I told her a few things including completing my eBook. She said I was amazing. I said 'crap' – she was the one who was amazing.
The conversation made me think about my recent eBook challenge and complaining it was hard. It was hard because I thought it was hard. It wasn't hard, it was just hard in my own mind. (Read: 9 Ultimate mental strength tips) I was looking at the 'hardness of it all' from the wrong perspective and I just made myself believe it was impossible. Yes, it was time consuming, difficult to coordinate, provided some anxiety and doubt, but when I look at it from a practical and realistic perspective it really wasn't hard.
Sometimes life confronts us with an impossible change, a heartache, an illness, a betrayal, a disturbance that cannot be undone, that is when life is hard, things like:
- Losing a child and learning to live without them
- Farmers going through terrible drought
- Being homeless and confused, possibly suffering from a mental illness
- Rape victims trying to move forward
- People staving and trying to work out where their next meal will come from or;
- A child surviving sexual abuse and having to live with that as an adult
Such things are hard.
Trying to get a project like mine over the line can seem difficult and complicated, especially if you have tried a few times and haven't succeeded. When you stress and worry about things and think that life's too hard because you have to complete that uni project, stay back at work to get something done or need to be extra patient for someone, think about the above and think again… is it really that hard?
Look again and perhaps, like me, apply a few small steps to help you make them happen, steps like:
- Do something small for your project each day, keeping it alive in your mind (Read: 10 Great ways to fight for your dream)
- Go slow and don't expect your project to happen over night
- Create a blueprint of what you are trying to do and revise daily
- Be present, accept that some things will work and some just won't
- Research and look at as many options possible
- Show up and give more that you get, make a difference to the people around you
Things are rarely actually 'that hard' in life – we just make everything out to be much worse than it is. I encourage you to consider yourself lucky to even be able to take on your projects and dreams, to make the most of situations and to never miss an opportunity.
So, next time you are about to give up on someone or something, look at it from this perspective – the perspective of moving on from your self-talk of 'it's too hard' to 'I'm lucky to have this opportunity'. (Read: 10 best positive self-talk tips) Do a little bit every day, make it happen and don't give up, especially if your intuition is saying 'yes'. Who cares if it takes years to complete, what's important is that you finished it.
It always seems impossible until it's done. – Nelson Mandela

(Outfest Film Festival in Los Angeles 2012 – Photo by Karen Ocamb)
I met Larry Horne in 1989, six years after he founded the Gay and Lesbian Media Coalition, sponsor of the Los Angeles International Gay & Lesbian Film & Video Festival that eventually became Outfest. I had just started freelancing for the gay media and went to see a film at the Vista Theatre in Silver Lake. The place was packed, the air conditioning was off and the projector failed repeatedly. There were times we sat waiting in the dark, fanning ourselves, grumbling, annoyed – but truthfully, at the height of the second wave of AIDS, we were just so anxious to see positive portrayals of LGBT people that we put up with the inconvenience and the often poorly acted films.
Indeed, the gay films themselves, the very act of producing and showing them, seemed like a middle finger to the horrific, inculcated homophobia pervading society and infecting our collective unconsciousness.

MONTEBELLO – "Fire station closed due to budget cuts and staffing shortages."
These signs are posted in front of Montebello Fire Station 57 on the city's west side, and nearby residents said they had safety concerns. The station will be closed until the new fiscal year begins on July 1 because firefighter overtime has been tightly restricted, Interim Fire Chief Jim Ballard said Wednesday.
"They should cut somewhere else but not that," said resident Moses Alatorre, who lives around the corner from Station 57. "That's very wrong."
Alatorre said he got a flier in the mail Tuesday from firefighters alerting him the station was closed for the next month.
"Who is going to respond to us?" asked Vicente Navarro, 73, who also lives near the station.
City officials have slashed overtime for firefighters, citing a $4 million budget deficit. The Fire Department had been rotating station closures through the city's north, south and west because shift openings from injuries, illnesses or vacations couldn't be filled.
But after rotating closures for two weeks, Ballard said department brass decided shuffling personnel and equipment from station to station wasn't beneficial.
He plans to have all three fire stations up and running again when the city adopts a new budget in the coming fiscal year.
Ballard said he is planning on hiring new firefighters to help control overtime, but added it's an inevitability in the emergency field.
"In order to keep the stations open, you have to have overtime. That'll be the case forever," Ballard said.
He didn't know whether the reduced staffing has resulted in longer response times or injuries but Ballard said two firefighters had been injured since the cuts started earlier this month and it took a fire engine just over 23 minutes to get to a call this week.
"There were still some times even when we had all three (stations operating) when they all were busy and we'd have to dispatch another department," he said. "The fact that there's only two engines, it will happen more often."
Police and firefighters earned a total of nearly $3 million in overtime from July 1 to the end of March, and Interim City Administrator Randy Narramore said the financially strapped community can't afford it.
"We have financial challenges and if we could keep (the station) open, we would," he said. "We've got to stop the overtime. We have no money to pay it."
Narramore said he has eliminated positions in the Police Department and left them unfilled.
In March city officials reduced Fire Department shift staffing from 18 on duty to 16, which took a fire truck out of service.
Citing the city's ongoing budget woes, some criticized officials for taking a trip to Las Vegas this week for the International Council of Shopping Centers conference, though others said it was needed to explore new revenue sources.
"The city's going through so much financial trouble right now, it just doesn't look right," said resident Robert Aguilar, 54. "Maybe they have the right intentions but this is just the wrong time to do so."
Four council members – Mayor Bill Molinari and councilmen Frank Gomez, Alberto Perez and Art Barajas, Narramore, Director of Planning and Community Development Michael Huntley and three of his staffers attended.
Molinari said he paid for his own expenses, except the $425 registration fee the city is required to pay.
Wednesday night's City Council meeting was canceled due to the lack of a quorum, according to the city's website.
Narramore said they went to Las Vegas with a plan.
"We had a full agenda. We're excited about the potential of bringing new businesses into town rapidly," Narramore said.
City Councilwoman Christina Cortez didn't attend the conference and said she was concerned going would send the wrong message in light of the city's financial straits.
"I think we should be trying to tighten up as much as we can, and should really try to cut back on expenditures," she said. "When we're in the middle of the situation we're in right now, we've got to focus on solutions, and I'm not sure if (going to the conference) is an immediate solution."

Bike Parking: More than Just Junk in the TrunkTravel News — By Ben Van Loon on July 14, 2010 at 2:00 pm
If you've ever seen The Bicycle Thief, you know how painful it is to have your bike stolen. For some people, the bicycle is the basis for their well-being, and with bike theft continually on the rise, practical innovations must continue to be made in order to protect bikes. This means that locks have to become stronger, and storage facilities have to become smarter.
Treehugger recently posted a list of seven different innovative municipal bike storage structures, all of which can make cycling safer and more practical in cities around the world. Commuters and visitors to cities who want their bikes protected from the elements – natural, human, and otherwise – greatly appreciate such well-engineered structures. They also send out a message on behalf of the host cities: please ride your bike, we encourage it. If a city encourages cycling, more people will feel safe riding their bikes, which means more people buying bikes, using bikes, getting healthier, and driving less.
The structures on Treehugger's list include Washington D.C.'s Bicycle Transit Center, Edogawa Ward Kasai Bicycle Parking in Japan, the proposed Bicycle Tower in Malmö, Brazil's $5-per-month Ascobike, Amsterdam's MacBike, The Bicycle Cellar in Tempe, Arizona, and the easily-recognizeable B-Igloo in eight different Spanish cities. All of these structures are technologically innovative, promote bicycle riding, and are relatively affordable.
Most of these structures are found outside the US because Americans still have an aversion to cycling, though cities like like Chicago, San Francisco, and even Boulder, Colorado often appear on bike-friendly city lists. As Green philosophy continues to rise and become more widely accepted, the world's opinion about cycling will also continue to change. And, unlike other products of the industrial age, cycling is still relatively the same as it has been since its inception.
Though, even if cycling hasn't changed that much, the technologies that surround it have, which is perhaps a good thing for cyclists in a changing world. Bike storage is important, and cities send a good sign to cyclists when they promote practical ideas for bike storage. Plus, if a storage unit is well-designed, it also can become somewhat of a tourist destination – and who can complain about tourist revenue?

I would like to obtain information and prices of bicycles, bicycle parts and accessories.
Why work with bicycles and accessories, nearly 30 years in Great downtown Rio de Janeiro – Brazil.
As can be seen on my site: http://www.utidoaterro.com.br
And I have great customers who enjoy imported goods and I only ask that providers need to try to better serve my client, because as Mr. must know the client must always be well served.
Thank you for your attention

An avid* reader of the blog, Paige (not my Paige – this Paige), posted an enticing little ditty on "Things to do before I die" today.
It reminded me of a few months ago we sat down (at Becky's request) and each wrote a list of 50 things we want to do before we die.
Now, being the awesome and creative writer that I am, you would think: This is going to be a fan-damn-tastic list! WRONG.
I struggled to get about 30 things down, and at the end I was just writing things like: Be a millionaire, sleep until naptime, and drive for Jack Rousch.
Seriously, when we were done, we compared our lists and found many similar things that we had NEVER talked about with each other. It was emotional and fun and exciting and exhilarating to compare.
Top on both of our lists: See a NASCAR race at Daytona and Bristol, go to Ireland, and vacation in Australia.
We started to actually plan some of these trips and I look forward to crossing them off together. (Especially the Rousch one now that the 97 car needs a driver)
P.S. Do this list before kids if you plan on having them. Basically, 99% of our list is on hold until Kaitlyn is in college.

AFS prides itself on employing those with a strong work ethic and a fundamental understanding of the key requirements to deliver quality solutions. Above all, we value honesty and openness in our actions and strive to create a collaborative work environment.
Oil and gas companies worldwide have turned to AFS for more than just flow assurance support. They have engaged AFS to assist in their project delivery and integration of flow assurance issues into their total system design. AFS's combined 20+ years of focused deepwater and multiphase flow experience has helped enable clients to solve problems in a timely and practical manner, taking the best from both academic and operating experience. AFS recognizes that flow assurance is an important piece of a larger puzzle, working with multiple disciplines to integrate the solution within the whole system.
AFS consultants are experts in the multi-disciplinary flow assurance arena. Flow assurance, with links spanning from sub-surface through pipelines and facilities, is a complex science that requires a grasp of both fundamentals and real-world applicability. Often, key decisions in a project lifecycle are made with a limited understanding of the true nature of the fluid properties. The AFS difference is rooted in a fluid testing and characterization background, communicating the risks/uncertainties associated with the chemistry to the key stakeholders. AFS believes in a collaborative, yet decisive, working relationship with its peers and clients, in order to progress key decisions in a practical, rational, and timely manner.
The flow assurance decisions made early in a project will echo throughout its design and production life-cycle. AFS understands these impacts and the importance of continuity in the relationships built over time to ensure critical information is kept up to date.

RTGC Seminar: Rational shuffle conjecture and torus braids.
Seminar | February 17 | 4:10-5:30 p.m. | 891 Evans Hall
Anton Mellit, IST Austria
I will talk about a proof of the rational shuffle conjecture, which relates certain weighted counts of Dyck paths with labelings to certain natural polynomials arising from Macdonald polynomials and elliptic Hall algebras. In an earlier work of Erik Carlsson and myself the "usual" shuffle conjecture was proved with the help of a certain algebra of operators acting on symmetric functions, a close relative of DAHA and EHA. A new ingredient of the present work is a geometric interpretation of this algebra using torus braids. Then certain transformations of braids imply otherwise strangely looking relations in the algebra, and lead to a proof of the rational conjecture. In the end I will explain how this method may lead to a computation of Khovanov homology of torus links.

Do you love wild game? Do you wonder what to do once you have it? A couple of friends had me over for quail a while back, and it was an amazing meal. They blew my mind with wild poultry wrapped in bacon, piled on cheese grits, and smothered in mushroom sauce. My contributions? Squeals of joy and this Chocolate Bread Pudding. Anyway, because I have awesome friends, I was sent home with several packages of quail and a copy of the night's recipe. So here I bring you one of the richest, most satisfying menus of all time: Bacon-Wrapped Quail. (This is originally a Paula Deen recipe, but I haven't been able to find it online.)
Bacon-Wrapped Quail
8 quail
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground black pepper
1 tsp. ground mustard
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
8 slices bacon
1 lemon, quartered
Mushroom Sauce
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
4 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
1 tbsp. flour
6 cups sliced mushrooms
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 cups chicken broth
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine 2 tsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper, dry mustard, and garlic powder in a small bowl. Season quail with the mixture, rubbing inside cavities as well as outside. Reshape quail, and wrap tightly with bacon, securing with toothpicks. Place quail in pan, breast side up. Squeeze lemon juice over meat, and scatter rinds in pan. Bake 16 minutes; turn oven to broil, and cook 8 more minutes to brown.
Mushroom Sauce:
Combine 1 tbsp. butter and flour in a small skillet. Whisk over medium heat until golden brown; set aside.
Melt remaining 3 tbsp. butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, and cook until browned, stirring occasionally (about 8-10 minutes). Add wine; cook until liquid is almost gone, and stir in broth. Add 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, 1/2 tsp. thyme, and garlic. Stir in flour mixture, and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer until mixture bubbles and thickens (it will be a while).
Serve mushroom sauce over quail.
This recipe is served over these Cheese Grits, so make them, too!
First things first. When embarking on a new culinary adventure, don't go alone. Enter: Forest. Forest and I are preparing the quail by making sure they're rid of all feathers, organs, and - pause - pellets. Welcome to wild game, people. Forest is using the 3 1/2-inch Paring Knife from the Forged Cutlery Collection to get a pesky pellet out of the meat while I assist by taking a picture.
You know how sometimes you're in the middle of a recipe and you try to stop and measure spices? You know how that's kind of annoying? Avoid minor annoyances (and potential cross-contamination by touching too much stuff after you've handled raw poultry) by prepping everything ahead of time. This is a simple step that makes cooking more enjoyable, and it separates the men from the boys in the kitchen. Besides, how fun are these Pinch Bowls? Don't you want to use them? I just grab an Adjustable Measuring Spoon and do my spice blends for the quail and mushroom sauce before I start anything else.
There's no getting around it: This is kind of gross. Now I know why the directions warn you'll have to reshape the birds after seasoning them. This is one of those times when you want to scrub your hands really, really well after a step. Oh, but wait - you still have to wrap these little guys in bacon! The quail are on the Large Bar Pan, an ideal Stone for large quantities of meat (or sheet cake, Annie).
This was a great recipe to do as a team because I got to wrap raw quail in raw bacon while Forest... handed me toothpicks. It seems those roles should have been reversed because I'm a much better toothpick-hander than bacon-wrapper. Anyway, squeeze lemon juice over everything, and put the rinds around the pan.
As much as I enjoy quail and simply being able to say I had some of it in my own kitchen (pellets and all), the mushroom sauce steals the show. This stuff is amazing, and I'm sure it pairs well with all kinds of things. I'm about to get this going in an 8" Saute Pan, and I'm adding the flour with a new Measuring Spoon. I know you think measuring spoons aren't a big deal, but this set is awesome! These things are heavy duty, and they're curved to dig in ingredients easily.
Things are about to get good! Forest is stirring the flour/butter mixture with the Silicone Whisk to avoid scratching the pan, and I'm getting the mushrooms going in the 10" Executive Skillet. The spatula is from the Basic Nylon Tool Set, and it won't melt when I walk away from the stove.
Forest was the mushroom sauce master, and he had an easy time of it thanks to all of his prep work. White wine and broth were measured in the Easy Read Measuring Cups and Easy Read Mini Measuring Cup. Then there was the herb mixture in a Pinch Bowl and the garlic in a Prep Bowl. With everything ready to go, Forest could focus on letting those mushrooms brown perfectly.
And at this point I will quote one of my favorite movies: What About Bob.
"Oh, Mrs. M., this is sooooo gooood!!!"

Life Without A Blog
Well, everything is okay. Except that I've been too busy with various things (mostly work and family), to be blogging a lot. That's one answer, and it is true. However, another answer (equally true) is that I just don't feel that interested in blogging anymore. In fact I have been feeling distinterested for some time.
It seems a waste to just abandon the blog, especially when I've kept it going for quite a few years. On the other hand, to keep it going just for the sake of keeping it going also seems to be an illogical decision.
Well, everything is impermanent. Blogs are no exception. Most of the Singapore bloggers whom I once considered as my "contemporaries" have largely vanished from the scene as well. That includes Xeno Boy; Molly Meek; Singapore Angle and Singabloodypore. I wonder how many people even remember those blogs/bloggers now.
I've noticed that the less I blog, the less I bother to keep up with the news. Once upon a time, reading the online Straits Times was pretty much a daily habit for me. Now, many days might pass, before I bother to read it once. I still read Today quite frequently, but mostly because I often get handed a free copy while on the way to work.
Due to my regular inattention to the news, I feel somewhat out of touch with this country now. Nevertheless my life goes on smoothly. Sounds a little strange, but it seems eminently possible to get by just fine in one's own life, without knowing too much about the broader national developments. I mean developments in areas like politics, government, education, healthcare, the economy etc.
Maybe the nature of the world now is that people can just easily zero in on the specific information they need, when they need it. For example, you don't need to be reading the newspapers regularly, to know what's happening in the property market. Instead, right at the time when you want to know, you can just google to find out what you want to know. And you could get much more relevant, detailed information from a few dedicated property websites, than from the mainstream media.
I've considered blogging about topics other than current affairs. To some extent, I've already done it. In many of my posts this year, I have often mixed news articles with personal anecdotes drawn from my own everyday experiences. Then again, perhaps the most important question is whether I'm wasting my time blogging here. And whether I should be doing something else.
It's been almost a year since my book Two Baby Hands was published. Part of me feels that it's high time I got started on a second book (I'm considering short stories - I have plenty of ideas floating around in my head). But writing a book takes a lot of time, and I'm not a full-time writer. To succeed, I need to decide exactly what I want to do or not, and after that, I just have to avoid spending any time on things that I don't want to do.
So the question for myself is - do I want to blog, or not? Hmmm.

I got the sense that you've already decided to give up on blogging :)
But personally I think blog can be more "life-like" than books, therefore, more useful for us readers. Of course, writing book can be more interesting for you as a writer:)
I hope you keep the blog, because I learned a lot from it.

i remember reading mollymeek but like u, she/ he? has kind of disappeared
i do hope that u will continue to blog but ultimately the decision is up to u

Best thing to do...

Blogging is entirely voluntary and out of interest. No monetary rewards(except some bits of ads revenue on blogs if any) unlike career, business or investing.
Hence, if the interest is no longer there, naturally blogging will stop.
But sometimes things can happen in a cycle. Like after a while the interest and urge build up again.
Pretty much like sex and hunger. Hahaha!

Life is like that. You take up something, you have to give up something else. Time is always the factor.

I have learned a lot from your blog and really appreciate what you have given us. I hope you would continue to blog when time permits.
Best Regards,

Hi Mr Wang
Please dont stop blogging .
Your articles are definitely interesting and insightful
You have BUILT a GOOD REPUTATION - as one of the best bloggers in Singapore.There's absolutely no doubt about that !
- May 16, 2010 at 7:50 PM
please do continue blogging. i've always looked forward to your articles.

Whatever your decision is, keep in touch =D
We can do a lunch or dinner when you have the time. Heh.

please do keep blogging -- it is not often we hear such a logical voice, on politics or otherwise.
if it's possible could you pass a commentary on this article? http://www.todayonline.com/Print/Singapore/EDC100510-0000060/Death-penalty,-a-trade-off
i am fairly certain there are a few loopholes in the good minister's argument

Hi Mr Wang, please continue to blog! From your faithful reader!
- May 17, 2010 at 12:16 AM
I think u are bored cos election is not here yet! nevermind take a break n recharge for when the time comes .. hahaha!!
- May 17, 2010 at 12:53 AM
i know what you mean when you say life goes on the way it does without you reading newspapers. But i think its the way life is when the country you reside in is peaceful and essentially with not much "happenings". If you stay in a war-torn zone or place with much political strife and hardship, you wont be needing the papers very much to know what is going on. That said, its normal to feel the need to not blog. Afterall, its not your career, and sometimes, there is just not that much to talk about that hasnt been discussed to death.
I always feel we as a world dont need too much news,esp economic news. If one dont read the papers during the economic crisis, one's life still goes on.
- May 17, 2010 at 10:48 AM
to add to my earlier point, forgot to say, provided one is not retrenched during the crisis...
anyhow.. if you blog, its our benefit as your insights are interesting. But if you decide to take a break, i hope you can 'return' in time to come. ~anonymous

Mr Wang...hope to see your blogging back during "cooling-off" day :)

Mr Wang, your insight to local news and the not so publicly published news allows us, the ignorant, to be more aware of what's really happening in Singapore.
Without your blog, the 66.6% of incumbent supporters will continue to be blind and be led blindly.
Please, I beseech, do not stop giving us the light... Else the general public will always think people whom wear white are always right.

Perhaps there are not so many issues which tug at the heart of Mr Wang. There are not so many gapping holes left to be picked at, considering the dire state the rest of the world is in. Our petty issues pales in comparison to the reality facing Europe and some other parts of the world.

to me, you are providing a community service. thank you very much!

Just do what makes you happy, as there is no obligation. If you have the calling to contribute something to society and get some satisfaction from it, then continue. It is totally voluntary but who knows? The readers here do appreciate your writings and the thoughts you share. Wish you well whatever you decide for the future.

You will be missed, but there are far more important things than a blog. Best wishes whichever your choice.

Hi Mr Wang,
If you must stop, pls stop only after the general elections, can? There'll be so many issues come election time and there're not many platforms for credible alternative views readers like me can refer to.
- May 18, 2010 at 6:15 PM
Mr Wang, please continue to blog. You write the sharpest comments on local issues. It will be a big loss to the local blogosphere if you stop.
- May 18, 2010 at 6:16 PM
All the best whether you choose to blog or not. Thanks for excellent posts.
- May 19, 2010 at 11:17 AM
Your analysis is usually spot-on, your writing a pleasure to read. I do hope you continue blogging as and when the inspiration hits you, and will continue to check this website.
BTW, Two Baby Hands--enjoyed it thoroughly. I have never been into poetry; it was a revelation.
Best, CKH
- May 19, 2010 at 4:11 PM
I hope you do continue to blog. At least on issues that affects most Singaporean.
Many a times, your views have open up my eyes and mind, which I don't really get from reading our national papers.
With election coming, it's even more important that that we hear from you, things that are not said which should be said in our papers.

I'm a faithful reader of your blog. I like to read you political and social blogs that increase my awareness of events happening around us.
I look forward to the articles about education and young children especially, as I have a baby whom I hope I'm able to nurture as well as your kids.
I actually enjoy re-reading some of your blogs dated way back in 2007 to 2008. Those were the times that you wrote lengthy and detailed blogs frequently. :)

To paraphrase Hamlet - to blog or not to blog – that is the question: whether 'tis nobler in the blog to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous comment,
or to take arms against a sea of spam and, by filtering, end them. To delete, to log off – and by logging off we end the heartache and the thousand vitrual shocks
that the web is heir to – and the rest, as they say, is silence.

You shouldn't be reading local news. Your latest topic proved my point. I'm sick of local media. There's too much censorship and , as always, too much focus on crappy issues that only the local kaypoh is interested in. But please, stay updated, read other stuff, the articles that somehow is published everywhere else in the world except, suspiciously, here.
Yours is a voice in a country of ignorance and insanity. I hope you would continue to carry the torch. When people are trying to shut you up or discredit you, you know you are doing something right

The miracle of manifesting riches derives from the potency of your brain. This is performed by affirming exceptional items can happen even in case there are hurdles and let-downs along the route. You have to hold re-inifocing mentally it will occur till the world leads you to the trail of attaining it. Manifestation of riches even though is a bit more complex mainly because it is not just a randomly positive thought but a comprehensive business presentation of your respective aspiration you'll want to center on soon you achieve it.
To reach your goals in occurring wealth, you should willpower your mind in focusing on your goals and maintaining that concentration even though you feel absolutely nothing is transpiring in the beginning. It may be recommended that you have a crystal clear purpose of what you look for to happen and produce it as being precise as you possibly can. When you are by itself is likely to space, imagine on your own presently accomplishing your perfect. You're probably traveling your very own black Benz. Attempt really experience that experiencing as if you are already in this situation. Now stick to that picture in your thoughts and let the whole world cause you to that fantasy.
The concept in occurring money is this: request also it will probably be granted. Think about that you will be Aladdin and this the galaxy is the best genie. Your wants are unlimited since the whole world is prepared to present you everything that you would like if you are devoted to that objective. You must have that concern that aim and stop at not even attempt to do it. Complaisance is a useful one in most specific situations but for anyone who is occurring wealth, you will need to aspiration huge to be massive. You must bring in good aspects by delivering optimistic indication on your own.
To reveal success you will need to identify your life's blessings and be happy and gracious regarding it making sure that joys will keep on serving unto you. In the event you maintain discuss the good things then good stuff will even flood in your life thus giving you much less road blocks in hitting your perfect. You must get more benefits by pondering and rewarding with the recent delights. These are typically items of existence that supply us with delight so we've got to hand back by confessing their living.
When you find yourself occurring money, you should are living in the present. Will not appear extremely popular earlier because there is almost nothing you're able to do to vary it. The future, however, is for some reason daunting simply because you could not explain to what is going to occur there. Your health would only be filled with InchmaybesInches and In .what ifs.In . Living in today's, then you can certainly certainly anything right now to change your goals into simple fact and are living that wealthy life you have been dreaming about.
Occurring prosperity calls for focus and unarguable love to attain your dreams. If you feel absolutely nothing is extremely hard then there is little change be extremely hard. You need to keep that burning desire in you making sure that life can even hand back compassion in granting your primary goal, whether or not it's with regards to your accomplishing good health, pleased connections, real and long lasting joy or starting wealth.

The concept of rights based ethics is that there are some rights, both positive and negative, that all humans have based only on the fact that they are human. These rights can be natural or conventional. That is, natural rights are those that are moral while conventional are those created by humans and reflect society's values.
The United States is founded upon a Rights Based Ethics System in which citizens are believed to have certain unalienable rights. John Locke was one of the primary supporters of this type of system as it takes the perspective of what the ideal world looks like and creates a rights system based upon those ideas.
Beauchamp and Childress, authors and ethical theorists, have defined the term "right" to be a "justified claim that individuals and groups can make upon other individuals or upon society; to have a right is to be in a position to determine by one's choices, what others should do or need not do."
Rights can be legal in nature, or pertain to human rights or moral rights.
The opposite of rights based ethics are utilitarian ethics. Utilitarian ethics are based on the maximization of "good outcomes" and minimizations of "bad outcomes."
Now these examples help to show exactly what a rights based ethics system is like.

With the long overdue BlackBerry 10 launch now just two months away, parent company RIM has teased the first QWERTY keyboard packing BlackBerry 10 handset., offering developers the chance to get their hands on the BlackBerry Dev Alpha C test device.
Having recently confirmed a BlackBerry 10 release date will be held on January 30, RIM is believed to be prepared two all new BlackBerry 10 handsets to launch alongside the eagerly awaited OS, one with a touchscreen interface, the other featuring the company's trademark full QWERTY keyboard.
With the repeatedly leaked BlackBerry 10 London expected to line up as the company's first touchscreen toting BB10 offering, the BlackBerry Dev Alpha C is expected to offer the first look at the brand's opening BB10 device with the infamous BlackBerry QWERTY keyboard.
"The BlackBerry Dev Alpha program is expanding to include a BlackBerry Dev Alpha C test device for developers who want to test applications on a BlackBerry 10 device with a physical keyboard," an official Research in Motion spokesperson announced in a recent release to developers. "For now, developers can sign up for more information on how they can qualify for this upcoming test device."
Ramping up its developer program ahead of the ever nearing BlackBerry 10 launch, RIM has confirmed the heavily revised BlackBerry app outlet, a service that will look to emulate the success of the iPhone 5 providing Apple App Store and the Android device filling Google Play Store, will be called BlackBerry World.
Having already issued around 7,500 BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha handsets in a bid to encourage development for the fledgling new platform, RIM is set to offer up the first BB10 developer devices as well as offering devs the chance to trade in their developer handsets for a limited edition BlackBerry 10 device after launch.
"Developers from around the world are joining us on the last leg of the journey to the launch of BlackBerry 10 and we are thrilled at the enthusiasm we see from them," BlackBerry's Vice President of Developer Relations and Ecosystems, Alec Saunders said.
"Developers asked for hardware to test their apps, and we delivered. They asked for the roadmap about the tools, and we posted it. They asked for RIM to show our confidence in developer success, and we're doing it. We've continued to refine and add on to our developer programs to ensure we are giving developers the best opportunities for success with BlackBerry 10."
Do you think BlackBerry 10 will help resurrect an ailing BlackBerry brand or do you think the Canadian company has lost too much ground to regain traction in the Android and iOS dominated smartphone market?

T-Shirt Printing in Johannesburg is available using 3 techniques. We will look at each order individually to decide on the most effective way to meet your requirements both in value and quality and advise you accordingly.
Digital Transfer – created using a heat press, the Digital Transfer can produce single or multiple colour transfers in a wide variety of high-performance materials.
Sublimation Printing – Sublimation printing uses a blend of ink, heat timing and pressure. This combination changes the ink from a solid to a gas allowing it to penetrate the material. By penetrating the surface the print becomes colourful, long-lasting and resistant to scratching. This technique does not work on darker colours and black.
Screen Printing – This is the most common form of t-shirt printing and is achieved by separating a design into individual colours and often into separate areas.
Setting up your logo or image for print incurs a one-off cost although this service will be provided free of charge for orders over R1000. We do not have set prices for T-shirt printing as, in order to give you the best possible value, we need to know your requirements first. Give us a quick call for some great value items we recommend for printing.

Posted by: Lisa Steinhauer, U.S. Peace Corps Community Development Volunteer (Drohobych, L'vivska Oblast)
The United States is associated with many positive emotions at Nadiya, an NGO focusing on children and youth with special needs located in Drohobych, L'vivska Oblast. The organization, in operation since 1991, has received various sources of support from U.S. grants as well humanitarian assistance over the years. In June 2012, the NGO's relationship with the United States was strengthened further when I arrived as the organization's first U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer.
Peace Corps has given both Nadiya and me an exciting opportunity to work together on local community development projects while participating in a cultural exchange program. Since arriving in Drohobych, I have been overwhelmed with the hospitality and openness of my organization and community. People consistently take the time to genuinely listen to and understand what I have to say, even with my broken Ukrainian. They have accepted me into their lives, up to the point that it is not uncommon for me to hear myself referred to as "наша Ліза" (our Lisa). They even go as far as declaring our organization an extension of the United States on U.S. Holidays as a way for us to celebrate American culture together.
Needless to say, when Nadiya found out that the new U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt would be coming for a visit, the mood was jovial. Around 20 of Nadiya's youth with special needs, volunteers, and parents anxiously waited for Ambassador Pyatt outside the building on that Monday morning. We had practiced saying "Welcome to Nadiya" in English several times before his arrival and it was a proud moment when everyone welcomed the Ambassador in unison.
Ambassador Pyatt graciously listened to information about our projects over the past year, made possible through U.S. support, and congratulated us on our successes. He then enjoyed a brief tour of our facility and a cup of tea with our youth and volunteers. Everyone was really encouraged to hear so many positive remarks from the Ambassador. People cannot stop talking about his visit to Nadiya.
From all of us in Drohobych, we would like to say thank you, Ambassador Pyatt, for taking the time to see us at Nadiya! I am sure this day will be remembered for years to come.

A partial story of Kate and Nan and why I adore these twins.
- They are older than me. At this stage of life I am happy that anyone is older than me. When I was younger, the fact that they were older was a sore spot for me. I could not understand why they didn't want me around every moment. They grew up in the Windy City while I grew up in the Motor City. The two of them invaded our home summers for many years running. They were teenagers. I was, well, underfoot, whenever possible. This meant that when they went to hang out with the Campbell boys next door they didn't want me busting up their dance party or whatever they were doing in the basement. I fixed them, though. I peeked in the window and reported back what I had seen (nothing) to whomever would listen (no one).
- They were directly involved in the hiding of the Easter baskets. Read about those escapades here.
- Because of their influence I was introduced to music that was older than me. Since I wanted to be like them I listened to the music they listened to whenever possible. This included Hair: The American Tribal Love-Rock Musical. I am quite certain this was not a musical my folks would have encouraged me to listen to for my educational enrichment. I am happy (well, actually somewhat embarrassed) to report that I still have the entire thing committed to memory and can sing along LOUDLY if perchance it comes on while I am shopping at Wal-Mart. Since many of the words are neither family friendly or appropriate (for anyone) I am pretty sure my fellow shoppers will not be subject to my melodious voice. But if you ever stop by and it just happens to come up on my iTunes…
- They, along with their sister Pat, are the keepers of the family houska recipe. This is reason enough to keep them in the family.
- Speaking of family, they are utterly devoted to family and it shows in ways I have no space to recount. Suffice to say they love deeply and completely. Those of us that are blessed to know them feel their love and concern.
Happy Birthday!
Words cannot adequately express the gratefulness I feel when I think of you.

Plainsboro Public Library – September 2017—Members of the Plainsboro Library's Artists' Group hold their 2017 Annual Exhibit, "Dreamscapes", with a wide array of drawing, painting, mixed media, sculpture, handmade felt, and recycled art. This year the artists are asked to share their dreams – but the interpretations may be varied: an imaginary landscape, a fantastical landscape, or a real-life landscape that is improved or changed; a dream or a nightmare; a figment of the imagination; goals or visions. A reception, open to the public, will be held in the gallery on Monday, September 11, from 6 – 8 pm, during the regular artists' group meeting time. The exhibit runs through September 27.
The exhibit will include works by West Windsor and Plainsboro artists Liz Adams, Vimala Arunachalam, Susan Freeman, Sweety Mehta, Sandhya Modi, Maria Pisano, Pratibha and Praveen Raju, Siripala Ranaweera, Janet Marion Simmons, Allison Singer, Donna Senopoulos, and Tatiana Sougakova. The artists' group also has members from many of the surrounding communities; participating artists from these areas include Ellen Aiken, Beverly Fredericks, Thelma Fried, Joelle Hofbauer, Art Lee, Lonni Merrill, Adrian Nicoara, Elizabeth Peck, Sandy Rosen, Laurie Schwartzer, Nancy Scott, Aleksandra Seletskaya, Poonam Singh, Evie Sutkowski, and Lynn Varga.
The Plainsboro Library Artists' Group is open to all area adult artists, professional and amateur, and provides an opportunity to critique artwork and to network. The group meets on the first Monday of each month at 6:30 pm in the library.
The Plainsboro Library is located at 9 Van Doren Street, Plainsboro, NJ. Hours are 10-8:30 Monday – Thursday, and 10-5 Friday – Sunday. For more information about the exhibit or the artists' group, contact Donna Senopoulos at 609-275-2897.
