Managing your Type 2 diabetes will likely mean managing your diet. Reducing your intake of unhealthy foods will not only help you get control of your blood sugar—it may also help you lose weight. Creating a diabetes diet plan takes a little work, and a shift in mind-set, but the results will likely be worth the effort.
What is the Diabetes Diet Plan
There is no specific "diabetes diet," as every person with diabetes has different dietary needs. In general, eating for diabetes management means eating foods that are rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Your new diet should be heavy in fruits and whole grains and low in snack foods, like cookies and chips.
Look at a copy of the USDA food pyramid to see what foods should make up your diabetes diet, and how many servings of each type of food you should eat. You can start by eating more of these foods:
- Fish, including salmon, tuna and halibut
- Legumes, including beans, peas and lentils
- Vegetables and fruits
- Whole-grain products
Then, look at the size of your portions. Your diabetes diet plan won't work if you eat too much at mealtimes. One meat portion is the size of the palm of your hand. One serving of cheese is the size of your thumb. One serving of rice or pasta is 1/3 of a cup. One serving of vegetables is the size of a tennis ball.
Getting Started
Implement your diabetes diet plan by clearing all high-fat, high-sugar foods from your home. If they aren't nearby, you'll be less likely to eat them. Make a list of foods you eat that you know aren't helping you manage your Type 2 diabetes. Look for healthier options to replace these foods. For example, replace chips with carrot coins. You'll get the same satisfying crunch with a lot less fat.
Invest in a diabetes management cookbook; many cookbooks have been written specifically for people with Type 2 diabetes. A cookbook can help you create interesting, innovative meals you'll love and be able to eat regularly.
You may not always be able to eat every meal at home. But concepts from your diabetes diet should come with you on the road. Research favorite restaurants and determine meals you can order that still allow you to keep your diabetes management goals.

Your One-Stop Shop for Product Localization
Translation into all the languages of global business
All ADAPT translations are performed by human beings. Machine translation has not yet proven useful, and we don't expect that to change anytime soon. But our human translators embrace state-of-the-art technology whenever it serves the project. This includes computer-aided translation (CAT) and specialized tools for testing and localizing software user interfaces. We rely on translation and terminology databases, for example—so-called translation memory systems, which save time and money while improving translation consistency.
The use of translation memory software enhances cost-effectiveness and quality, and not just in new translation projects: even prior translations not yet captured in bilingual databases can generally be imported into translation memories before the start of a new project so their content can more readily be leveraged. Typically, this is a modest investment that produces an immediate return.
Software localization
Software localization is the adaptation of a software product to the linguistic, technical, and cultural environment of a target market.
We analyze your project to determine the ideal localization processes and tools. Then we put together a team of linguists and technology experts to work within your project and organizational structures and turn your vision into reality.
Terminology management
Quality and user-friendliness of your localized product depend primarily on clear, unambiguous, consistent terminology that conforms to the standards and conventions of your target market. The terminology must also consistently reflect your corporate identity.
That's why wherever possible, we develop project terminology in collaboration with representatives of your company in the target countries. We also manage and update your terminology with the help of software integrated into our translation environment.
Software engineering and testing
Localization means more than just translating a text. ADAPT offers a full spectrum of linguistic and technical services, including software engineering and testing.
Simply provide us with all the basic materials, and we'll deliver fully compiled and tested localized software, saving you time and resources and accelerating your time-to-market.
Multimedia localization
Our close collaboration with professional recording studios allows us to offer high-quality multimedia localization, including dubbing and voiceover.
Specialized translators first optimize the texts for use in audio and video files. Our professional voice artists are native speakers of the highest caliber and typically work for international radio stations and dubbing studios.
Desktop publishing, graphic design, layout
Leave the prepress to us! Our DTP and graphic design experts can draft layouts according to your specifications or restore the original layout of your documents after the translation phase is complete. We can accommodate all standard DTP and graphic design programs: Adobe Creative Suite and Technical Communication Suite, MadCap Flare, the Microsoft Office Suite...
Source text optimization and information design
The quality of a translation depends heavily on a translation-ready source text. We'll be happy to optimize your source texts prior to localization, eliminating redundancies and identifying any technical or cultural misunderstandings that could compromise the translation of your software and documentation. Investing in this service improves the quality of the translation and saves you time and money during the localization phase.

It's good to be in the mountains
WHISTLER, British Columbia — After four nights in Vancouver, I've relocated in Whistler for the duration of the Games with the men's downhill scheduled Saturday. Vancouver is a fantastic city, but it's good to be in the mountains.
The drive to Whistler is beautiful. It's about 75 miles north of Vancouver, and for half of the journey there is an inlet of the Pacific (Howe Sound) along the left side of the highway. Near the town of Squamish, which is pretty close to the midway point of the journey, there is a beautiful granite face hundreds of feet high. According to one of my bus drivers, this rock face attracts climbers from all over the world. Looks like something in Yosemite.
He also pointed out a cruise ship docked near Squamish where some volunteers are being lodged during the Games. He said it's the original "Love Boat," meaning one depicted in the TV show, and not something salacious. I think I believe him.

PlotHost has a zero tolerance policy regarding unsolicited commercial email (UCE) and unsolicited bulk email (UBE) also known as "spam". The definition of spam:
An electronic message is "spam" IF: (1) the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients; AND (2) the recipient has not verifiable granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; AND (3) the transmission and reception of the message appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.

# You must not try to hide, forge or misrepresent the sender of the e-mail and sending site of the e-mail.
# Bulk mailings must specifically state how the persons' e-mail addresses were obtained and must indicate the frequency of the mailing.
# Bulk mailings should contain simple and obvious unsubscribe mechanisms. We recommend that this to be in the form of a working link to a one-click unsubscribe system; however, a valid "reply to:" address may be used instead.
# All subscription based e-mail must have valid, non-electronic, contact information for the sending organization in the text of each e-mail including either a phone number or physical mailing address.
# All bulk e-mail must be solicited, meaning that the sender has an existing and provable relationship with the e-mail recipient and the recipient has not requested not to receive future mailings from the sender.
Prohibited Uses of PlotHost Hosting Systems and Services Regarding Spam
# Sending Unsolicited Bulk Email ("UBE", "spam"). The sending of any form of Unsolicited Bulk Email through PlotHost servers is prohibited.

September 30, 2015
In recent years stories of cyber espionage have become common in the news. Experts debate the actual economic impact of cyber espionage, but seem to be convinced that it is one of the greatest threats to U.S. economic security. As its economy has stagnated and it seeks to retain a competitive edge, China is often identified as a major impetus for commercial cyber espionage. For example, in March 2012, Tze Chao, a former DuPont employee, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit cyber espionage. In his plea, he admitted to passing trade secrets related to DuPont's proprietary blend of titanium dioxide (TiO2) to companies he knew to be controlled by the government of the People's Republic of China (PRC) over his a 36-year career with DuPont. Moreover, he admitted that he passed the information as a result of a desire of the PRC to obtain the technology from western companies.
The U.S. is working to find ways to protect itself from outside cyber attacks. In May 2014, the U.S. indicted five Chinese nationals, including members of the Chinese military, in China, alleging that the defendants had conspired to hack into the computers of U.S. businesses to steal trade secrets and other sensitive information that would provide Chinese companies a competitive edge. Domestic criminal statutes may have little practical effect, but they set the stage for international pressure on China to take action. For example, in the days leading up to the highly anticipated September visit of President Xi Jinping, National security advisor Susan Rice highlighted the impact of China's cyber spying against American companies, saying that the spying "isn't a mild irritation… It puts enormous strain on our bilateral relations and it is a critical factor in determining the future trajectory of U.S.-China ties." "Cyber-enabled espionage that targets personal and corporate information for the economic gain of businesses undermines our long-term economic cooperation and it needs to stop," Rice said.
Despite evidence and accusations to the contrary, President Xi recently told the Wall Street Journal that "[t]he Chinese government does not engage in theft of commercial secrets in any form, nor does it encourage or support Chinese companies to engage in such practices in any way. Cybertheft of commercial secrets and hacking attacks against government networks are both illegal; such acts are criminal offenses and should be punished according to law and relevant international conventions. China and the United States share common concerns on cybersecurity. We are ready to strengthen cooperation with the U.S. side on this issue."
Ostensibly, China has taken steps to implement both a domestic and international program to combat cyber crimes. In July, China passed cyber security legislation which requires that Chinese Internet providers store data collected within China, in China. This gives the Chinese government what would seem to be exclusive dominion over the information under current regulatory schemes. The bill is designed to allow the government to take all necessary steps to "safeguard cyberspace sovereignty and national security" from the threat of cyber attack, cybercrime and the spread of "harmful" information online. The sweeping powers granted by the legislation should, in theory, enable the Chinese government to prosecute cyber offenders domestically as alluded to by President Xi. However, some in the international community are skeptical of the move, criticizing it as a step in the wrong direction. The law is aimed at protecting domestic users from incursions into their network, but also gives the government unprecedented access to the personal and business information of its citizens. The law seeks to regulate "critical information infrastructure" by not just protecting it from cyber attack but also allowing stricter enforcement of the type of censorship that groups such as Human Rights Watch have denounced for many years.
Despite concerns with China's domestic legislation, the U.S. government's attention is on cyber issues, including the challenges of international espionage. During President Xi's first stop in Seattle in September, he met technology industry leaders at a banquet that preceded his visit with U.S. officials in Washington. President Xi told the audience "commercial cyber theft and hacking against government networks are crimes that must be punished in accordance with the law and relevant international treaties… The Chinese government will not… engage in commercial theft or encourage or support such attempts by anyone." He indicated China's willingness to engage in dialogue with the U.S. regarding cooperation on cyber crime.
President Xi came through on his promise during his meeting with President Obama on September 25. While no sweeping agreement was anticipated, in no small part because the U.S. and China cannot even agree on what portions of international law might govern cyber crimes, the two presidents indicated that they had reached a "common understanding" on combating cyber espionage. Both agreed that neither government would knowingly support the theft of corporate secrets or business information.
Many saw the sides reaching a common understanding as a start to an international dialogue on cyber espionage. However, while the two countries acknowledged the existence of a problem, neither seemed confident that a solution, or even cooperation, was in the foreseeable future. President Obama concluded his statement by asking, "are words followed by actions?" He also threatened sanctions against cyber criminals. President Xi urged the U.S. to address the problem through bilateral agreements and to not "politicize the issues."
Even more troubling than the lack of agreement on corporate espionage is the absence of any discussion of government cyber spying for the purposes of gathering intelligence. In April 2015, the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) discovered that the personal data – including addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers – of 4.2 million Federal government employees was compromised by a cyber attack. This, however, was only the beginning. OPM announced in June 2015 that during the investigation of the massive data leak, it found that sensitive information pertaining to as many as 21.5 million individuals was compromised. In addition, OPM announced that the data compromised was more extensive than it originally thought – the compromised data included comprehensive background investigations of many employees. Further, on September 22, OPM announced that the fingerprint information of 5.6 million federal employees had been stolen. OPM's estimation of the extent of the breach grows as each new data set is revealed. The economic threat is estimated to be in the billions, while national security experts estimate that the threat to national security could linger for up to 40 years. China has denied any involvement in the attacks.
The U.S. has been careful to not officially blame China for the OPM breach, though news reports site unofficial sources and government investigators as pointing to China as the leading suspect. In practice, the U.S. is reluctant to blame states openly for cyber attack because, as cases such as Tze, the outstanding Chinese indictments, and the OPM breach all show, it is difficult to overcome the problem of attribution. While Tze admitted his own guilt and voluntarily implicated the Chinese government, the remaining cases will be more difficult to bring to justice because it is extremely difficult to trace an attack to an individual, and maybe even harder to a state. The U.S. has not admitted defeat, however. Discussing the 2014 indictments, Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin stated that "State actors engaged in cyber espionage for economic advantage are not immune from the law just because they hack under the shadow of their country's flag."
China and the U.S. agree that cyber espionage is a threat that no state should tolerate. But neither country seems able to move forward in a way that meaningfully combats the crime. Despite the legal and diplomatic challenges involved, the cost of cyber espionage in all its forms is too great for us to be content with "common understandings." The Department of Justice and President Obama should use all of the tools at their disposal in response. Deterrence of state actors will require more than a few indictments that are unlikely to end in successful prosecutions. Concrete action – such as following through on the sanctions against cyber criminals threatened in the President's September 25 statement – is required to send a message to the international community that the time to set cyber norms is now.

SINGAPORE -- Serena Williams rebounded from the worst beating of her professional career to rout Eugenie Bouchard 6-1, 6-1 at the WTA Finals on Thursday, yet her title defense remain in the balance.
Williams was humbled by Simona Halep the previous day, when the 18-time Grand Slam champion won only two games.
She turned around and eliminated Bouchard from semifinals contention with a 0-3 record in the round-robin stage, while Williams improved to 2-1. The American will have to wait until Friday's match between Halep and Ana Ivanovic to know if she is through to the semis.
Williams will make the final four unless Ivanovic manages to beat Halep in straight sets. Halep is guaranteed of a semifinal berth.
Meanwhile, the outcome of the other group remains uncertain, with none of the four players qualified for the semis, and none out of contention.
Petra Kvitova beat Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-2, further eroding the Russian player's hopes of claiming the year-end No. 1 ranking.
Sharapova, who needs to win the title and rely on Williams not reaching the final if she is to bump the American from the top spot, fell to a 0-2 record while Kvitova is 1-1.
In order for Sharapova to progress to the semis, she will need to win her last match against Agnieszka Radwanska and rely on Caroline Wozniacki beating Kvitova, and have both matches decided in straight sets.
Williams credited her coach Patrick Mouratoglou with lifting her out of the doldrums and preparing her for Thursday's match.
"I started to believe that maybe I could come play another match," Williams said. "I wasn't quite sure that I could.
"I was feeling mighty low. I was able to feed off this belief. I know that sounds weird, even though I've won so many titles, I still at some point feel like, 'Oh gosh, maybe I might not be able to do this or maybe I might not be able to do that?'"
Williams was fatalistic about whether she will make the semifinals and remain in the running for a third straight title at the season-ending championships.
"If I wanted to win and be a part of the event, I should have won my match yesterday or should have done better," Williams said. "If I don't qualify, I'll be sad, but it wasn't my year. I'm not going to fall out and die."
Bouchard, the Wimbledon finalist, came into the tournament with only two tour matches in a month due to injuries, and won only 11 games across her three matches.
"I didn't have ideal preparation but that can happen to a number of players at any given tournament," the Canadian said. "Disappointing that it's at such a big and cool event where I would love to play as well as I can."
Sharapova, who lost the Wimbledon final to Kvitova in 2011, beat the Czech left-hander in their past five meetings and started brightly by winning the opening two games. But Kvitova took over from there, winning 11 of the next 12 games.
Kvitova said she was feeling burnt out during her opening loss to Radwanska, so took an unusual approach to freshen up for Thursday.
"When I lost against Aga ... I was so tired and sick of the tennis for a moment," Kvitova said. "So I didn't practice today at all, and I just really relaxed and cleaned my mind a little bit."
Earlier, Wozniacki moved closer to a place in the semis by beating Radwanska 7-5, 6-3 for her second win in the group stage.
The first set, which began with four service breaks in five games, lasted 67 minutes and contained some lengthy rallies that were punctuated by superb shot-making.
Radwanska ended up the loser but played a couple of extraordinary volley winners: One picked up at her shoelaces and lifted diagonally over the net, and another leaping effort played with her back to the net.
"I just needed some more good serves as well in that match," said Radwanska, who has a win and a loss.
Wozniacki was able to smile after Radwanska's trick shots.
"I'm like, 'OK, you know what, that's just too good,'" Wozniacki said. "You can either get frustrated or laugh -- it's better to laugh."

CBD Pet Oil In Shady Cove Oregon
There is a lot of inaccurate information circulating around the Internet regarding flea control for pets and natural flea control products such as neem. Many people have heard of neem oil but don't actually know much about it or how to use it safely with pets.
Neem is the common name for the two closely related species in the Meliaceae family:
- Azadirachta indica A. Juss (commonly known as the Indian neem, margosa tree, or Indian lilac)
- Melia azadirachta (commonly known as the Persian lilac).

Hemp. Some people use its fibrous stalks to make ropes. And admittedly, looking to a plant from which ropes are made might seem like a strange place to look for something that can help dieters succeed in their weight-loss efforts. But amazingly, the hemp plant provides just that. Hemp seeds are filled with oil, and cold-pressed hemp oil is in fact one of the most nutritionally dense foods on the planet, and as a bonus, helps with suppressing appetite.
Hemp comes in various forms suitable for dietary consumption. For example, the seeds can be eaten raw, ground into a meal called hemp protein, sprouted, turned into hemp milk (similar to soymilk), or used as a tea.
Other research has shown that hemp's benefits extend beyond appetite suppression. Research has also shown hemp to help relieve symptoms of eczema, and its omega 3s are known to help improve memory and brain function.
When you're doing your level best to lose weight, finding natural ways to subdue your appetite gives you a definite edge in your efforts. And one of the best, proven items to add to your appetite-suppression arsenal is hemp...its seeds, oil, and protein.

I hope the new academic year is off to a great start on college campuses across the Commonwealth. I spent much of August traveling to Minneapolis for the State Higher Education Executive Officers annual policy conference and then for a two week vacation. I cam back refreshed and relaxed...for an entire week before I got hit with the flu. Life is like that sometimes. Things move and change quickly. Watching the coverage on Hurricane Irma I'm wondering about the possible destruction of entire higher ed institutions in the Virgin Islands and the other Caribbean islands that have been devastated and look to be hit again by Hurricane Jose.
The Equifax security breach looks disastrous with data for 143 million individuals compromised. The news traffic I'm reading is disturbing in the simplistic approaches being taken. For example:
OMG, Equifax security freeze PINs are worse than I thought. If you froze your credit today 2:15pm ET for example, you'd get PIN 0908171415.

OMG, Equifax security freeze PINs are worse than I thought. If you froze your credit today 2:15pm ET for example, you'd get PIN 0908171415.
In other words, a simple datetime stamp. Apparently they have been doing this since 2007. I suspect there will be quite few object lessons to take from this case. We have got to take information security much more seriously as nation.
This article from Smithsonian.com is one that I found fascinating. Not so much because of its implications for biology and herpetology, but because, without meaning to, it gets to the heart of what I consider to be the most fundamental issue of counting - definition and how to count from zero to one.
To study life on Earth, you need a system. Ours is Linnaean taxonomy, the model started by Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus in 1735. Linnaeus's two-part species names, often Latin-based, consist of both a genus name and a species name, i.e. Homo sapiens. Like a library's Dewey Decimal system for books, this biological classification system has allowed scientists around the world to study organisms without confusion or overlap for nearly 300 years.
But, like any library, taxonomy is only as good as its librarians—and now a few rogue taxonomists are threatening to expose the flaws within the system. Taxonomic vandals, as they're referred to within the field, are those who name scores of new taxa without presenting sufficient evidence for their finds. Like plagiarists trying to pass off others' work as their own, these glory-seeking scientists use others' original research in order to justify their so-called "discoveries."

If you have the time, it is well worth reading. It really makes the Classification of Instructional Programs seem quite simple and well-managed.
Just before leaving on vacation, I decided write out my philosophy of counting and measuring. You can read it here and it will give you a better idea of what I try to do and what I have learned in this job over the last 16 years.

Biography Reports That Even Your Reluctant Readers and Writers Will Love
Give students the power and control over their research report and you'll be glad you did.
Tell your students it is their job to learn all about a famous person because they will BECOME the famous person. This simple task changes the research process from drudgery to students begging for time to work on their projects. That's music to a teacher's ears! Everyone wants students who are eager to learn and it's easy if you release control and give them choices.
Set the stage and create excitement! There's a lot of great biographies out there at 3rd, 4th and 5th grade reading level you can use to integrate reading, writing, public speaking, and art. Get library books and display them in your classroom along with a HUGE list of names you think students would like to learn about. Then leave a spot for students to add their own famous people.
After students have chosen names, it's time to begin reading their novels and conducting Internet research. Conducting random website surfing isn't the best (or safest) to do with your whole class. I had large classes, which made monitoring where students were on the web difficult, so I created biography web pages for over 143 famous people for students to use. The rule is simple. Students can go to the websites on the web page. If you click the "back" button, you need to be back on our biography page. Simple! That way you can feel better that students won't land on an inappropriate page that you might have to hear about and deal with.
These are the famous people I built web pages for to use with students.
Here's a few comments from teachers who've loved this project. 💖

Do Something Different on Valentine's Day! Make a Math Fractions Quilt!
How about doing something different? Better yet, do something that taps into the creative side of the brain while reinforcing math skills. Ask students to create their own fractions quilt block design that has a pattern or symmetry and answer questions about their quilt block.
When all of the quilt blocks are made, cut them out and piece them together to make a class quilt. You can talk about how separately, we are individually unique and special but TOGETHER, we are complete.
Do you want to really hook students into learning? Give them choices. To differentiate, you can use forms B & C. Form B in the set is the "D.I.Y." option and allows students to choose their own colors. Form C gives students full control as the "Quilt Designer" and they choose the colors, decide the pattern, write questions and give an answer key.
Also, notice that there is a simple character education reminder next to the quilt block. Everyone needs reminders!
Here's an example of a quilt block FREEBIE:
You will notice the quilt block freebie in the photo is numbered 6A. The Quilt Block Fractions math center in my TpT store has 5 different quilt designs, plus forms B and C for each. They also include the manipulative pieces and answer keys. Besides using this as a great math/art center, it makes the perfect stand-alone set of activities you can leave for a substitute or as a gap filler. Easy and fun. Best yet...no prep!
Teachers in grades 3-5, let's share other great Valentine's Day math activities! What do you use?

Help Students Analyze Poetry and Enjoy It! {Grades 4-5}
You have to teach poetry to fourth and fifth graders but you may not have the time to prepare for dissecting poems. There are 9 exemplar poems on the CCSS Poetry Exemplar List. Yikes, that's a LOT and your prep time is limited. Maybe you don't even LIKE poetry, let alone have to TEACH it. Here's some hints that I hope help.
- Research everything about the poet.
- What background can you learn about the poet?
- Who is he or she?
- Where is s/he from?
- What was s/he known for?
- What other poems has s/he written?
- What is the audience for the poems?
- What was his/her style?
- During what time period was this poem written?
- What elements of poetry does the poet emphasize? Why?
- What may have caused the poet to write this particular poem?
- Has s/he written other similar poems?
- Dig deep! Take notes.
- Start by first quickly reading the poem.
- Now re-read the poem, this time read it for understanding.
- Then read the poem again, thinking about what the poet was (really) trying to say.
- What is the meaning of the poem?
- What is the poem about?
- Where does it take place?
- Think through your teacher lens and make sense of the poem and consider what you would tell students.
- What is the message and theme?
- What is the poem's stanza structure?
- Does the poet choose to use rhyming structure or not?
- Why did the poet choose that structure?
- What about the rhyme scheme?
- How about the poet's use of alliteration, metaphors and similes?
- What other types of figurative language are used?
- What other types of literary devices are used?
- What words are used and what do they mean?
- How does the poet use words to help convey mood and emotion?
- Look for vivid verbs and colorful adjectives to point out to your students.
- What emotion does the poem cause you to feel?
- Do you enjoy the poem?
- What makes you like or dislike it?
- How will you teach this to students?
- How will you assess student understanding?
Trust me on this; the more you know about the poet and the poem, the more you will be able to help students learn to read poetry and understand the (literal) words and the (figurative) word play. I know it's not easy! Some poems are hard to understand for adults. Some of the poems on the 4th and 5th grade CCSS list are tough to interpret and I wondered how someone decided which poems were appropriate and understandable by 10 and 11 year olds? Holy cow! Think what those deep poems sound like to a student! If they're tough for you to understand, you can empathize with your students as they struggle to grasp meaning. You have to understand so you can help your students. Don't short cut the steps of building your own background knowledge and understanding. Read as many poems by the same author as you can so you get the poet's style and themes.
If you're STILL stressing about teaching poetry, and maybe don't have the time to devote to it, I suggest starting with one poet and poem. Then teach your socks off!
If you don't have time with the hectic year, don't worry. I've got you covered! I love teaching poetry and did all of the hard work for you! If you're interested, I created 9 Poetry Analysis Task Card Sets for 4th & 5th Graders. I bundled the task cards to save you money by including 2 free sets. (#everyonelovesadeal) If you have teaching partners, additional licenses are a reduced price. You can use one poem task card set each week and have a 9-week unit. Or you can set up the task cards as a literature station. Or you can use the tasks cards as direction instruction lesson starters then let students work in discussion groups or with partners to fill out the response booklet. The choice is yours! BUT whatever you do . . . make learning poetry FUN!
Teaching poetry is one of my favorite ELA units of the year and it can be your students' favorite, too.
Here's a 30 second video that gives you a quick peek a the set.
The bundled poetry analysis set includes everything you will need to teach all 9 poems. The task card sets include a short poet biography summary. I wrote task card questions and included sample response answers for each task card. There's even a cool recording booklet that I designed to save paper for students to use. It prints back to back and simply folds in half. Website links are included so you can show students the videos, biographies, online versions of the poems and more.
Take the stress out of teaching poetry and start LOVING teaching poetry!

Many small enterprise homeowners do not have QuickBooks® set up properly for his or her enterprise. The significance of Twitter as a information and knowledge platform will be largely influenced by its adoption, each in journalism and different spheres. When the news comes we discover out that nothing was created and 10 thousand work locations have been lost. While financial situations and sudden shifts within the market can have so much to do with how employers handle their staffing, that isn't sufficient to clarify this dramatic change of habits in the enterprise relationship between employer and employee. In this situation, the strategies in this article would be useful to each client and business proprietor.
Julie Banderas would go on to work in tv news in Connecticut, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New York City. He didn't have cash but had a enterprise angle which introduced him to the wonderland of Indian business tycoons. Business house owners can use press releases to offer them these good tales whereas making a reputation for their company.
In this context, tweets provide a various and eclectic mix of stories and information, as well as an awareness of what others in a person's community are reading and take into account important. This was a business deal between Apple and Beats Electronics which translated into urban tradition: kids on their iPhones and Beats by Dr. Dre headphones under the baseball caps. Plenty of great concepts you've got right here to make your individual business cards, even for us writers.
This broadens the journalist's position as proposed by Bardoel and Deuze of knowledgeable who serves as a node in a posh atmosphere between technology and society, between news and evaluation, between annotation and choice, between orientation and investigation" (2001, p. a hundred and one). There is the power to comment on articles to have interaction in dialog simply through your app with others keen on these topics.

I going to be completely upfront and say that I don't get the Terrarian. I mean, I get the whole connection to the video game Terraria, but I don't get the yo-yo as a yo-yo. The design looks so odd to me, although from what I understand it was the game's developer that came up with the design and not One Drop. I did try one just a few days ago and it seems OK to toss, although not enough for me to jump on that hype train. Then again, I really do appreciate the hype that the Terrarian is bringing because it is bringing along a bunch of new throwers into the community, and that is a great thing to see.
Anyway, Chris Rhoads over at High Speed YoYo published Terrarian review a few days ago, and if you are curious to hear more about this new yo-yo from One Drop then I recommend giving it a read. Here is a quick excerpt:
"I know many are looking at the size and weight of the Terrarian and immediately writing it off. That would be a mistake. While it is wide, it is not unwieldy during play. It can still weave through strings in some of the tighter combos without an issue. Tricks like Black Hops are still quite easy to pull off."
Check out the rest of the Terrarian review over at High Speed YoYo. Enjoy!

Every day, you ensure that your family eats healthy while enjoying the delicious meals that you whip up in the kitchen. To make that an even more 'fruitful' endeavor, here's a tiny ingredient that is both packed with nutrients and will have them asking for more
Olives From Spain are the fresh and interesting ingredient that can infuse zest to any dish they are added to. You may assume that this delicious fruit is confined to Mediterranean or Continental cuisines, but the truth is that home cooks and chefs across the country are experimenting with traditional Indian recipes, breathing new life into them through the varied flavours and textures of the magical Spanish olivesRead Page 1

I found a cookie recipe for feeding these Stasis Breaker and Wei Qi Booster Chinese cancer herbs to them, and they like the cookies. I crumble the cookies in with the meal, with that much less dry dog food. But she seems to also like them by themselves. Here's that recipe for anyone who so desires it if you cannot get them to eat the herbs in their regular food. Keep in mind that many vets recommend a high fat content when treating cancer, since cancer cells grow best with carbohydrates as fuel, but they don't grow well at all with fatty foods. The peanut butter in the recipe is a high fat food -medium protein and low-med carb(don't know what to do about that carb and still have tastiness). Here's the recipe:
Peanut Butter Meringue Cookies. Makes 16 cookies
Let 3 eggs warm to room temperature (for easy whipping)
Separate the whites from yolks, the whites will be whipped. The yolks I save to give as a cooked treat.
In one bowl:
Whip egg whites
Add the meds in question into the whipped egg whites (In this recipe I add 2 days worth of the herbs. probably could add 3 days worth)
In another bowl:
add 1/4 cup of molasses
add 1/4 cup of hot water
add 1 cup peanut butter
whip all that
add the peanut butter stuff to the egg white stuff, and whip more
spoon a teaspoon full of the mix onto a cookie sheet as one cookie. I put 8 onto a cookie sheet at at time, making two batches.
bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes.
do the next batch.
They actually taste quite good. Just a faint taste of the herbs, which taste awful to me anyway. Mostly they taste like peanut butter. The meringue adds some substance to them and bring up the protein -so they bake well. It's still has reasonable protein and fat overall, so the sugar/carb isn't horrible.
But again, this is just stuff to try if they simply won't eat the powder in their regular food.

Turtle Tamwoy Song and Dance Man.
While visiting with good friend and brother artist friend Gumaroy Newman the other day I was introduced to Turtle Tamwoy. I hung around Circular Quay and after Turtle had finished his daily performance we quickly agreed to try and capture a handful of images that we could both share with our family and friends.
Turtle has a sharp wit and he is quick to see the funny side of the daily grind and share his humour with like minded individuals. Over the last four years I have photographed many of the Aboriginal artists who perform their music at Sydney Harbour. And it is always a huge thrill when I get the opportunity to capture special moments with still imagery.
Arthur "Turtle" Tamwoy is one of the worlds leading traditional indigenous dancers, singers and didgeridoo players, his father is from the central desert tribe of the Pidjandjarra and his mother is from Badu Island in the Torres Strait Islands. Turtle as he is known in indigenous circles has toured and traveled to over thirty countries to be one of Descendance's and Australia's most experienced international performers.

The renovation of the flood-damaged Roosevelt building downtown is set to begin.
The City Council last night approved a 30-year, 1-percent loan of $1.6 million to help in the $10.3-million affordable housing project.
Much of the funding secured by developer Sherman Associates Inc., Minneapolis, Minn., consists of federal low-income housing tax credits. The city's loan likely will lessen to a $1-million one once the renovation of the historic building secures historic tax-credit financing.
The city earlier provided other short-term funding for the project, which will be paid back once the renovation is complete.
The renovated Roosevelt, which was converted to apartments from a hotel some years ago, will consist of 96 housing units, 90 of which will be affordable ones.
Jackie Nickolaus, Sherman vice president, told the council last night that the top three floors of the Roosevelt, which had been renovated in recent years by the prior owner, might be ready to occupy within six months once the building's mechanical systems are installed.
Sherman Associates bought the building in December for $2.2 million.

Ethan Hawke has been dying a lot in recent months. Having taken on the depressive, suicidal title character of Chekhov's "Ivanov" late last year, he is now portraying another existentially challenged, terminal case in "Clive," Jonathan Marc Sherman's latter-day variation on Brecht's "Baal." While there are big differences — it is now Brecht instead of Chekhov, after all — the road to the grave, as mapped by Mr. Hawke, feels much the same: fretful, feverish and, ultimately, fatiguing.
Mr. Hawke deserves props for being a movie star who regularly ventures onto terrain where Broadway angels fear to tread. "Ivanov" and "Clive" are both early works from challenging dramatists that are notoriously difficult to get right. While Mr. Hawke's characters are the unconditional centers of their plays, they are also anything but easy to love.
What's more, he does not take the star's prerogative of dominating the proceedings. "Ivanov," staged by Austin Pendleton for the Classic Stage Company, and "Clive," which opened on Thursday night at the Acorn Theater in a New Group production, are very much ensemble efforts. So I regret to say that neither show has been all that well served by its leading man or for that matter by its director, who in the case of "Clive" happens to be Mr. Hawke.
A decade or so ago Mr. Hawke, now 42, a writer as well as an actor, would have seemed a natural to play Baal. Written by Brecht in 1918, when he was only 20 and filled with contempt for the German theater of his day, "Baal" is an angry young man's play about an angry, unwashed young artist of charismatic talent and equally magnetic destructiveness. He's a grubby, convention-smashing outlaw poet (or poète maudit) in the great Gallic tradition of François Villon and Arthur Rimbaud.
Structured in fatalistic fragments that bring to mind Büchner's "Woyzeck," "Baal" courses with the sap of early manhood, when pleasure is an end in itself, and life seems both beautiful and damned. Though its portrait of a polymorphously perverse antihero (who would happily have sex with a tree) is unlikely to shock audiences today as it did in the 1920s, "Baal" still has the potential to electrify.
The current that flows through "Clive" is oddly sluggish, though, and it only rarely gives off sparks. Set in the 1990s by Mr. Sherman ("Sophistry," "Things We Want"), Brecht's tale of a degenerate society assumes the air of a wearily confirmed prophecy acted out in a world where everyone has by now been there, done that. And as embodied by Mr. Hawke with spiked iridescent gray hair and an expression of eternal tiredness, Clive (as Baal has been rechristened) comes across less as a satanic catalyst than just another rotten apple on a dying tree.
Mr. Sherman — who is also part of the acting ensemble, along with Vincent D'Onofrio and Zoe Kazan — has stuck close to the form and content of Brecht's text. Of course the locale is now Giuliani's New York instead of Augsburg, Germany, around 1911, which involves certain changes of detail. Mood-altering powders are now ingested as well as high-proof brandy; a lumberjack's camp has been transformed into a shooting gallery; and Clive is a promising singer who performs in downtown dives instead of the oral poet of the docks that Baal was.
This means that there's a fair amount of music in "Clive," including a few bleak American ballads about heaven and hell (performed by Mr. Hawke in the vein of an exhausted, midcareer Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen), some snatches from the Brecht-Weill "Alabama Song" and, most ingeniously, musical doors. You heard right. Each of the free-standing doors in Derek McLane's set has been equipped (via the sound design of Gaines) with hammers, bars and strings that allow the performers to summon tunes from them.
But if it's not impolite to ask: Why? Are we to infer that the capacity to elicit the music of the spheres lies not just in Clive but also in everyone? In that case why are other characters so keen on signing Clive to record contracts or nightclub gigs, especially given Mr. Hawke's rather lackluster musical performances?
There's an argument to be made that "Baal" is as much a picture of an inhuman society as of a monstrous individual. Mr. Sherman has said that in translating "Baal" to the late 20th century he was struck by "how little people mistreating people has changed." And Mr. Hawke has spoken of the "despicable" nature of everyone in the play, all propelled by "an id at work."
But if you carry this point of view to its ultimate leveling conclusion Clive's story is stripped of conflict. It's hard to get worked up as Clive seduces, abandons and destroys an assortment of friends, lovers and strangers. Finding a compelling dramatic tension in Brecht, whose goal even then was to keep his audiences at a thoughtful distance, is never easy. But there should be energy at least in the execution, in the sly creation and subversion of illusions.
The cast members — who also include Brooks Ashmanskas, Stephanie Janssen, Mahira Kakkar, Aaron Krohn and Dana Lyn — do appear to be enjoying themselves, incarnating various lost souls and speaking their own stage directions in character (an interpolation by Mr. Sherman). And Ms. Kazan, for one, makes you share that pleasure as she seems to draw instant Etch A Sketch cartoons of women done wrong by the rapacious Clive. (She is helped by Catherine Zuber's amusing virgin-vamp costumes.)
Mr. Hawke, who was excessively agitated as Ivanov, plays Clive in a more minor, subdued key, which is a surprising choice for a character meant to be an irresistible force. What magnetism there is in this production is generated by Mr. D'Onofrio, one of the great wild-card actors of his generation. (Even if you've seen him only as the troubled Detective Goren on "Law and Order: Criminal Intent," you'll know what I mean.)
Speaking, for some reason, in a down-home Southern accent, Mr. D'Onofrio portrays the rough-hewed, hedonistic Doc (Eckart in "Baal"), Clive's best friend and probably his lover. Even delivering annotative lines like "They exit," Mr. D'Onofrio exudes a gleeful, dangerous heat.
When he yells to Clive to come out and play in the dark, dark woods, it's the call of the wild. It's a sound that also fleetingly raises the pulse of a show that is, for the most part, strictly flatline.

Mare & Stallion Infertility Investigations
There are many causes of mare and stallion infertility/sub-fertility and accurate diagnosis is the first step towards successful treatment or management. For mares, causes may include factors such as age, whether or not she has foaled previously, infection or reproductive system disorders. Similarly, stallion infertility/sub-fertility may be due to age, the result of infection or congenital or developmental abnormalities. Our equine reproduction clinicians can investigate such cases by using a variety of diagnostic techniques.
Our vets will undertake a thorough evaluation of the mare's history, together with a gynaecological examination: this may include ultrasound and speculum examinations, endometrial culture, cytology and uterine biopsy and videohysteroscopy (examination of the lining of the uterus using a hysteroscope). Endometrial swab and smear samples can be sent to our laboratory for analysis. Depending on the results of these investigations, further treatment such as laparoscopic oviductal flushing, perineal surgery or hysteroscopic removal of cysts or adhesions may be advised.
Our vets have a great deal of experience dealing with stallions. Assessment of stallions with poor rates of fertility, assessment and management of such cases can be carried out by physical examination of the genital organs, ultrasound examination of the reproductive tract, and semen collection and analysis.
Laparoscopy can be used successfully to diagnose and treat some cases of infertility in both mare and stallions.
Contact Andrew McGladdery, Fred Barrelet, Ollie Pynn or Ian Cameron for more information or to discuss a case.

What Causes Thigh Cellulite?While cellulite is actually normal fat beneath the skin, it can affect both slender and overweight people, particularly in the thigh area. The bumpy cottage cheese appearance is caused when the fat pushes against connective tissue, causing it to pucker. You may want to consider thigh cellulite treatment if you want:
- To have summer ready legs.
- To get rid of cottage cheese, orange peel, dimpled, or lumpy skin on thighs.
- You can see cellulite through thin clothing.
- You dress to cover your thigh cellulite (long dresses and pants).

More On Australian ISP's Action Against Piracy
Internet providers unveil piracy crackdown plan - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
Watching the major morning news today, the tech journalist being interviewed appeared to emphasize ISP's determination to limit their liability to future legal action taken against them by content owners. Interesting.
Another interesting comment in light of recent Gearslutz debate:
The boss of Exetel, a smaller ISP, says while the trial is encouraging, it is unnecessarily limited.
"It is a step in the right direction if Australia believes that the protection of property ownership from thieves is something that a civilised society should provide, but restricting the number of notices sent to 100 a month makes no sense at all," John Linton said...........
Mr Linton says smaller ISPs including Exetel have been taking this approach for seven years "without any cost to ourselves".
"Keeping track of to whom these notices have been sent is also a trivial cost to write the code and no cost to maintain records relating to this process," he said.
"Any statement to the contrary is simply lying nonsense."

VN attends ASEAN-EU maritime talks
A Vietnamese delegation led by Ambassador to Malaysia Pham Cao Phong attended the second ASEAN-EU high-level dialogue on maritime security co-operation in Kuala Lumpur from May 4-6.
Themed Developing Inter-Agency and Regional Cooperation, the dialogue attracted more than 100 scholars, diplomats, experts and officials from ASEAN and EU member states.
Chairman of the Maritime Institute of Malaysia, Ahmad Ramli Nor, said the event aimed to intensify inter-agency co-operation in fighting piracy and armed robbery at sea, monitoring and dealing with threats including trans-national organised crimes and ensuring seaport security.
He underscored the need to raise mutual understanding and trust between ASEAN and the EU as well as increase bilateral efforts to address cross-border security threats in the region.
Participants discussed sharing information and technological advances used for maritime security and developing regional mechanisms and international legal frameworks to ensure safe passage for ships and containers.
Several delegates also offered ideas on settling territorial disputes in the East Sea.
The Vietnamese delegation spoke on maritime and seaport security as well as East Sea issues, Ambassador Phong told Vietnam News Agency.

New York Gov. David Paterson (D) confirmed in a press conference Friday that he won't run for a full term in November.
"I am being realistic about politics," he said. "Today I am announcing that I am ending my campaign for governor of the state of New York."
Paterson said he welcomed the pending investigation into his conduct as governor. "I have never abused my office, not now, not ever," he said.
He also defended his record in the state's top job.
"But no matter how difficult the circumstances were, I have never forgotten my oath, nor my responsibility to serve the people of New York with faith and with integrity," Paterson said.
He hinted that the recent New York Times reports were causing him to abandon his campaign.
"Up until the last few days, I was looking forward to participating in that work in a full four-year term," he said, noting the situation had become untenable.
"It hasn't been the latest distraction; it's been an accumulation of obstacles that have obfuscated me from bringing my message to the public. Therefore, there are times in politics when you have to know not to strive for service but to step back," the Democrat said.
Paterson promised to serve out the remainder of his term.
"Right now, New York state needs a leader who can devote full time to this service," he said. "There are 308 days left in my term I will serve every one of them fighting for the people of the state of New York."
Former Rep. Rick Lazio, the expected GOP gubernatorial nominee, called Paterson's announcement "another sad chapter in New York State government."
"It's dysfunctional, it's broken and it doesn't work. It's exactly why we need someone not tied to the Albany culture to bring the sweeping change we deserve," he said in a statement.

I'm using the Unicode character "Double-Stroke Not Sign" (U+2AEC) to represent bitwise logical not operation (a.k.a. one's complement). I've implemented a control sequence called
\blnot which accomplishes this, but my solution feels kludgey and I suspect there must be a best-practices solution which is much cleaner. Here is how my output looks with
\lnot, and
\blnot, respectively:
My question is two parts:
What is the cleanest way to stack two
\lnotoperators as shown above? I made an
\hboxand used
\raiseboxto adjust the base of each instance, but I don't like how I used
\kern-.666666emto back up 2/3 em after the first instance. I feel like there should be a way to cleanly go back the exact width of
\lnotwithout having to know it, or better yet simply to not advance at all between the two.
I would also like to insert approximately .11em after both
\blnotbecause it looks too tight otherwise. (I'll be using
\blnotmostly with multi-character identifiers in italics.) I've added the space this by saying
\kern.11em, but again that feels kludgey to me. Ideally, I'd like to inuit the width of
$-$and simply use that, without hard-coding any width.
Here's an MWE:
$-a$ \vskip -1ex
$\lnot\kern.11em a$ \vskip -1ex
$\blnot\kern.11em a$ \par
p.s. I know I could easily implement this using TikZ, but stacking two
\lnots seems easier to make work at multiple font sizes. (I won't probably be using this at any size other than 10pt, but I might use it in a footnote or a caption.)

Heaven- Imaginary place where religious people say those dead people they liked are now existing. This way they don't have to face the reality that those people are dead.
Hell- Imaginary place where religious people like to imagine those who didn't belong to their particular religion existing after death. This way they can get off on imagining those being people tortured for eternity for not following the imaginer's particular religion. It is religious revenge and hatred disguised as "God's will".
Reality- The opposite of both the above. Dead is dead. It is not Heaven, Hell, or wandering the Earth as a ghost, or drifting through space and time. It is not "blackness"- it is the absence of any form of existence at all. It is less than nothingness. It is what you were not experiencing a billion years before you were born. You have been dead before- for countless years since the Big Bang popped our Universe into existence, until you were born- and after you die it will be exactly the same for you as when you didn't exist before. It is a Nothing that is even devoid of nothingness.
Sorry for the dose of reality if you were counting on an afterlife.
There is an upside. Your atoms, the very building blocks that make up your body right this minute, were formed in stars unbelievable lightyears distant, unimaginably long ago. "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away"… parts of you were there. They were scattered to the Universe when those stars died and exploded. You were a part of many, many stars eons ago. Your atoms will continue to be reused for trillions of years to come even though you won't know it. That's kind of awesome.
The grandest, most Glorious religious ideas become small and dim by comparison to reality. They and their god pale by comparison. And delusional people prefer that insignificant view? I just don't get it.

The use of derivatives as an element of an investment manager's portfolio continues to rise in importance. At the same time, the ever expanding variety of these contracts and hedging activities brings increased complexity. It is vital that decision makers have certainty of information.
These increases in complexity have understandably also brought challenges to accounting properly for all positions held, and allowing for strong risk and compliance management. Do you have the confidence that the liquidity and collateral positions of any derivative contracts you have in your portfolio are correct at any point in time?
Designed to support all the accounting and reporting needs for derivative and hedging activity, the paragon Derivatives module processes swaps, caps, floors, collars and corridors:
- Full support of payment variable rate reset and compounding schedules, including look backs and business day conventions with multiple holiday calendars to accommodate geographical market variances
- Swap collateral management and substitutions
- Multiple methods for notional amortization (index-based, straight-line and variable)
- Variable strike rates on floors and caps
- Fee income and expense management, including straight-line and level yield amortization
- Early close out processing
As you would expect, paragon's extensive reporting capabilities means you can select precise, up-to-the-minute data that helps managers keep on top of positions and allow for comprehensive risk and compliance reporting.
Read more about how paragon's specialist modules have been developed to support specific trade services as fixed income service offerings, instruments and regulatory requirement have all evolved.

Fluoride's Deadly Secret
Dr. Russell Blaylock M.D. is a retired neurosurgeon

in the western world which are directly connected to toxins in our environment, and how this relates to the larger global
eugenics program behind population reduction. In this fascinating interview, Blaylock reveals how depopulation programs forged
by the Rockefeller foundation in association with the Nazis were the basis of modern day incarnations of eugenics like fluoride

The American Dream is a 30 minute animated film by Tad Lumpkin & Harold Uhl
that shows you how you've been scammed by the most basic elements of our government system. All of us Americans strive for
the American Dream, and this film shows you why your dream is getting farther and farther away.
Do you know how your money is created? Or how banking works? Why did housing prices
skyrocket and then plunge? Do you really know what the Federal Reserve System is and how it affects you every single day?
The American Dream takes an entertaining but hard hitting look at how the problems we have today are nothing new, and why
leaders throughout our history have warned us and fought against the current type of financial system we have in America today.
You will be challenged to investigate some very entrenched and powerful institutions in this nation, and hopefully encouraged
to help get our nation back on track.
