Our man Cameron Law went along to what promised to be a great night of underground punk infused country/folk in Glasgow last week…
Opening the show to a packed Audio was Dan Allen of Norwich punk rockers Ducking Punches who are about to drop their third full length album next month. Playing a mix of material from the upcoming record including new single 'Goddamn Coward' and older hits such as 'Big Brown Pills from Lynn' and 'It's Been A Bad Few Weeks', these songs sound every bit as raw and powerful acoustic as they do with a full band set up. The set was brought to its end with the highly emotional JFH which tackles the taboo of the male suicide epidemic head on with Dan sharing his own experiences with losing friends to suicide and how we should all talk more about mental health issues. This set was just a taster to Glasgow about what Ducking Punches are all about and what they're capable of. We expect big things from them and wouldn't at all be surprised to see them headlining this venue themselves in the coming months.
After a brief interlude of cigarettes and whiskey it was time for Lucero to take to the stage. The band's set tonight was a mammoth 90 minutes of punk influenced southern country which saw the band play a variety of material across their vast discography. Tracks like 'Texas & Tennessee' were lapped up by the crowd and its clear to see that working class folk music from the other side of the Atlantic is still highly relatable to the Glaswegian crowd tonight. At times the pacing of the set seemed a bit odd, with faster tracks being followed by ballads before returning to faster sing-alongs which seemed to make moment hard to build however the hardcore fans at the front of the room didn't seem to mind one bit, singing their hearts out throughout.
Tonight's show saw two acts from very different places and backgrounds unite to create a terrific evening of raw and honest punk rock tunes played on instruments not usually associated with punk rock. The attitude and subject matter of Ducking Punches and Lucero really struck a chord with the audience tonight and showed what a truly relatable and uniting force punk rock can be.

The RAIC would like to thank all members who took the time to participate in the 2018 Heritage Conservation Continuing Education survey! With over 200 hundred responses received, our members have made it clear that there is a strong audience for continuing education offerings in this field.
The survey was one step in a multi-stage research phase for the development of new continuing education opportunities related to heritage conservation, including stakeholder interviews and a gap analysis of existing offerings. The survey was designed by Mary Hanna and Karen Trivino, summer interns at the RAIC through the SSHRC-funded New Paradigm / New Tools for Architectural Heritage in Canada partnership training grant administered by the Carleton Immersive Media Studio (CIMS), at Carleton University.
The purpose of the survey is to provide valuable insight into the development of continuing education courses in architectural heritage conservation.The data received has allowed the Program Office to gain a better understanding of the scope of heritage conservation projects and areas of specific interest in the conservation and heritage field, from RAIC members. The aim is to develop content for architects, by architects, within this area of specialization.
Survey Highlights
From an initial reading of the survey results, a grand majority of 94.3% of those surveyed expressed interested in continuing education courses related to the field of heritage conservation, with adaptive reuse being the area of greatest interest of focus. Additionally, a strong interest was expressed in the Standards and Guidelines.
A link can be drawn between the educational and the professional environment. Most members perceive themselves to be in the beginning phases of their career, with 60% having not taken courses in heritage conservation previously. Of the respondents of the survey, only 12.44% were members of the Canadian Association of Heritage Professionals (CAHP), with just 36.79% considering themselves to be heritage conservation specialist. The RAIC aims to reduce the gap between architectural practice and the demand in heritage conservation education in Canada. The two most sited reasons for interest in conservation-related continuing education were professional development and personal interest.
The results of the survey are now being analyzed to and will be featured in a final report.
The full report is forthcoming.

Banana Bread Bites
How do other people break down time?
I'm asking rhetorically, maybe. I've always had trouble breaking down my own timeline into different sections.
I want to break down time into as much as humanly possible. It's part of the reason I first got into photography, I think.
I'm interested in turning memory into something physical.
Vegan Banana Bread Bites
2 large bananas, ripened
5 dates, pitted
1 tb molasses
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup organic dark brown sugar
1/2 cup organic pastry flour, or all purpose
1/3 cup ground flax meal
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp butter flavoring
coconut flakes, unsweetened
In food processor, add bananas and dates, and puree until combined. Add in molasses, vanilla, and brown sugar, and optional butter flavoring, and pulse until smooth.
In separate bowl, whisk pastry flour, flax meal, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in half of dry mixture to food processor, pulsing until combined. Add in other half and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Use an ice cream scoop or tablespoon to form small balls with dough, about 1″ in diameter. Place on silicon baking sheet at least 2″ apart. If desired, press shredded coconut into tops of dough. Bake on middle rack for 12 minutes at 350 degrees.
Ginger Maple Glaze
2 tb fresh minced ginger
1 tsp maple extract
1/4 cup organic powdered sugar
Mix all ingredients in small bowl until combined. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
The ginger maple glaze is optional, because without it these cookies really just taste like miniature loaves of banana bread. The glaze is spicy, but I think it works. I'm a huge fan of ginger, from its fragrance to its digestive benefits.
I recommend eating these in the early morning. There's nothing like banana bread at 5:30 am, in an empty house with all the shadows going to opposite way of how you normally see them.

The magical herb named Medical Marijuana is used to heal several diseases and its benefits can never be denied. For thousands of years human beings have relied on its healing abilities. It was put to wide use by the denizens of ancient China, Middle East and now the healing property of this herb is even being realized by the people of the modern world and USA is no exception.
Such was the popularity of medical marijuana that even Queen Victoria worked with her physician to enhance its applicability. Before the implementation of some regulative measures like The Stamp Act (1920) this medical herb was put to a wide use in the United States. People suffering from chronic diseases like A.I.D.S, asthma, cancer may recover with a proportionate and balanced use of Marijuana. Thus, due to this healing property Marijuana is regarded as a medical herb.
It acts as an effective medicine when combating with the diseases like diabetes, brain cancer, insomnia, appetite loss, spasticity, glaucoma, Parkinson's diseases etc. Thus, it is globally accepted by the entire medical research fraternity that Marijuana can really cure some chronic diseases. But to get the benefits of Medical Marijuana one needs to avail a marijuana card and a state issued identification card that would allow one to legally possess marijuana.
The scientific name of Marijuana is Cannabis Sativa and it grows mainly in hot and temperate climate. Even before the discovery of the various usage of this herb by the modern scientists, most of the Asian countries have been using this weed for medical purpose since ages. The historical documents show that first usage of marijuana as a medicine was done by the Chinese. It was in the 28th century BC when Emperor Shen-Nuan used marijuana as a therapeutic herb for treating constipation, malaria, gout, rheumatism etc.
This herb can be used in different ways. Some physicians use it in a liquid form, while others prefer to prescribe oral dosages. It can act as an effective healer when used as a medical ointment. Smoking also acts as an effective healing option for those who are suffering from chronic diseases.
Recently, California is the first US state to legalize the usage of marijuana. After passing Prop 215, most of the residents in California have started to set up herbal shops that sell marijuana. In different parts of the state, machines to vend marijuana are also being used. If residents of California have a cannabis club card or medical marijuana card then they can avail this herb from the dispensaries that sell marijuana. To get a California medical marijuana card, one has to get permission from the medical marijuana doctors.
Starting medical marijuana selling dispensaries in California is pretty easy, especially in. In fact, there are many centers for medical evaluation where licenses for starting a business of marijuana are issued. Discriminalization of this medical herb has been opposed by most of the marijuana activists and they are trying to legalise the usage of this herb in California. Major segment of Californians are supportive and trying to enhance the usage of marijuana. This has fostered as well as increased the confidence of those who are leading the marijuana legalization movement.

Growing Application of the Fish Oil to Receive Great Returns In 2015
Popular as a natural medicament to an array of ailment, the nutrient –rich fish oil is derivedeither from the belly cavity or the tissues of few species. These species are famous as 'oily fish 'and majorly include Sardine, Salmon, Mackerel, Trout as well as Mackerel. The oil released from the aforesaid species are a rich source of nutrients such as vitamins A as well as D and Omega 3 notably EPA and DHA. Furthermore, as human body is not capable of producing oil naturally, there is a growing need to supplement this nutrient externally. Apart from this, on getting this supplement human body can conveniently synthesize which furthers gets converted into different hormones.
Results of a latest study reveals that the intake of fish oil can be beneficial in restoring the damage caused to the nerves related with diabetic neuropathy. The research was carried out on mice, and scientists have further plans to conduct research on people suffering from diabetes with naturopathy. Moreover, receiving Omega – 3 fatty acids which is found in various species would also benefit patients who have a family medical history of Alzheimer's disease, as cited by a latest study. To top it all, the supply of fish oil is believed to exert pressure on the rates in a short span as revealed by Bret Scholtes the CEO of Omega Protein. Recently Allied Market Research has published a report titled "Global Fish Oil Market (Application, Species and Geography) - Country Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Company Profiles, Demand, Growth, Opportunities, and Forecast, 2014 – 2020." The report takes a closer look at the market overview and global fish oil segment by species, applications and geography.
According to several studies the fish oil is also believed to potentially lower the risks of air pollution that are often caused by very small fragments of solids as well as liquid. This year there has been a growing demand for fish oil products or supplements considered to be effective for human skin and hair. Eyeing so many benefits and optimistic views on the market share and size of the fish oil market its future looks promising.

1330 Fillmore Street (@ Eddy), SF, CA 94115 | 415-655-5600 | website
When you walk up to the new Yoshi's which occupies the ground floor of the 16-floor Heritage Center, it feels like an entertainment center – almost like a movie theater when you first enter the spacious lobby. The cocktail lounge extends out along the dining area and back towards the state-of-the-art jazz club where you can listen to world class music. The Single Guy Chef and I made arrangements to check out their dine about town menu, you can read his review here. It's difficult to choose between the hundred or so participating restaurants, but Yoshi's SF has been on my must-try-soon list since they opened last year. I was sorry to hear that pastry chef Marisa Churchill of Top Chef notoriety had left for greener pastures just the month before, but I think the desserts were still based on her design.
Over the years, I've been to Yoshi's numerous times for both the music and the food, but was particularly impressed when we got to sample the new menu at the Jack London Square location last year. That was after Chef Shotaro Kamio transformed Yoshi's into a dining destination with his modern interpretations of traditional preparations.
I was greeted with a very friendly Irrashaimase! by the smiling hostess who walked us back to our table and past the exhibition style kitchen where we could see Chef Kamio presiding over the bustle. According to the website, his culinary philosophy is seasonal, simple with a bit of surprise.
Other staff members called out the traditional Japanese welcome, Irrashaimase as we passed them. Our server was friendly and dropped off a wine menu, the regular menu and the dine about town menu for us to peruse. I admired the tableware, everything looked handmade and lacked the precision of commercially made products. The beer mug and water glasses were delightfully lumpy and off center, very zen
We decided to go with the 3-course Dine About Town menu but couldn't resist ordering an additional appetizer off the Sousaku Creations menu because it sounded interesting – Yari Ika Somen. Squid cut into thin strands that resembled soba noodles twirled around into small stacks then topped with creamy sea urchin sauce and a contrasting dab of pureed black seaweed emulsion. The flavors were very quiet and restrained and I thought to myself that it would be really delicious if it were topped with a big briney blob of glossy black caviar… The ika was served on top of paper thin slices of lime which enlivened the flavors with its citric perfume but in hindsight was clearly intended as garnish. I thought it was part of the package and popped the whole thing in my mouth. All I could taste was lime and pith and lime membrane… that was one wasted soba appetizer whacked out of commission.
The Single Guy had a Saikyo Caesar salad that was topped with Mizuna leaves and peppery kaiware (daikon sprouts). We were both curious to taste the dressing which incorporates saikyo miso, from the Kyoto region that is known for its thick, smooth texture and sweet flavor that comes from it being made with more rice than soy beans. But it mostly tasted like a caesar salad and a little heavy handed on the dressing at that. It was pretty though, with tiny jewel-like cubes of bell pepper and drizzled with oils and herbs.
I know, how boring of me to select the Sashimi Morikomi appetizer, but the fish was super fresh and clean tasting and was served with freshly ground wasabi. I loved the raw scallop which was sweet and juicy, but the salmon, tuna and yellowtail were also excellent. The quality of the fish was superior and was prepared with meticulous precision. You can't get any better than this.
Single Guy's Kurobota Pork Roast was draped with a spiky green herb and drizzled with ginger lemon thyme brown butter sauce. The pork was tender and probably would have been better cooked to the recommended medium rare, as you can see this was brown all the way through. It was served with braised napa cabbage and fried dried tofu along with roasted pearl onions. The sauce was good, it had a sweet smokey flavor that complimented the dish well.
I had the oven roasted Free Range Organic Half Chicken layered with fresh shiso leaves and drizzled with a umeboshi based glaze that added a bright vivacity to the dish. Umeboshi are equivalent to the fat plump european olive in Japanese cuisine, a treasure that can be found inside of musubi rice cakes which are as popular in Japan as PBJ sandwiches here in the states. Umeboshi while often referred to as plums, are actually apricots that have been preserved first in salt and then packed with shiso leaves to marinate until ready to eat. They have a distinct flavor that I think really should be included in the Top Chef blind taste competition, and are quite versatile. They show up in cocktails, sweet fizzy beverages, salads, as well as in candies and confections. The umeboshi tinged sauce on the chicken reflected the shiso leaf garnish with a satisfying familiarity.
It was lightly dusted with Shichimi Togarashi, the Japanese equivalent of Lawry's seasoning salt, a blend of seven spices that invariably include dried red chili, black or white pepper, nori, sesame seed and dried mandarin orange peel, plus a few others. Served alongside was a fragrant mound of nimono, simmered bamboo shoots, green beans, seaweed and baby kale that made me think of my grandmother's simple one pot meals.
For dessert, I had the Okinawan Donuts rolled in cinnamon sugar and topped with chocolate sauce. They were heavy cakey things and delicious when combined with the spicy sugar and bittersweet chocolate sauce. The menu said something about Suntory Whisky slurry, but it is most definitely a rich dark chocolate sauce and I believe that the sugar coating is distinctly un-Okinawan.
Single Guy's dessert was Frozen Apricot Mousse that reminded me of an orange creamsicle. It was served with a flat cookie and a tart cherry compote. It was a dessert that was intended for an adult palate and therefore did not strike very much interest for me!
I wanted a cup of green tea after dinner and was surprised that they only offer Chinese teas, no sencha, hojicha or genmaicha… So I had fruity, floral Osmanthus which is puported to aid in the digestion, which I take to mean that it will magically remove all of the fat that I just consumed. It was served in a beautiful glass pot over a warming light.
The meal was impressive and between the two of us, we enjoyed a fine sample of what's on the menu. There are many reasons compelling me to come back, I'd like to check out more of what's new in the neighborhood, I definitely will come back for a musical show and I really want to be fed an Omakase meal by Chef Kamio…

I covered a few ways in earlier posts to make money online writing, but today I'm providing a list that you can use at your disposal to make money online as a writer.
First and foremost, don't quit the dreaded day job that you hate just yet or within the next year. My list isn't composed of miracle work, nor should it be used as a get-rich-quick scheme.
Instead, you have a little hub toward profit generation as a writer as long as you:
1) Are patient with yourself.
2) Realize the need to treat writing like a job.
In other words, there are no three clicks to instant cash or anything like that, but if you want to read those articles, feel free but I can guarantee that you're going to get scammed and still be looking for the nonexistent magical formula this time next year.
So why not get a head start?
How can you generate online income as a writer?
Let's find out.
Publish Fiction
Listen, Amazon is going to give a self-published author 70% royalties if their book is priced at $2.99 or higher.
In other words, say if you sell 27 books a day at $2.99, you just made a little over $20,000 in an entire year at 70%. Sell 27 at $4.99? $34,000, and a living income in some areas in America.
But again, there's always that catch, because selling 27 books per day requires an uphill battle with advertisement and book promotion.
So get ready to make a few investments along the way if you really want to succeed at this.
The clear upside is if you turn this into a business and your published works into a book series, you're clicking.
Publish Nonfiction
Perhaps you prefer to write nonfiction or creative nonfiction.
Well, the same concept applies.
If you're a hybrid author, congratulations. You just made some money off yet another cash flow.
But again, you have to work on your projects long after you publish them. I can't stress how important sound investments are, so don't quit that day job you hate just yet, but I can assure you if you make the right investments, you will very soon.
Just imagine the looks on your boss's and co-workers' faces when you walk out that day making an income doing what you love.
Start a Blog and Monetize It
Starting a blog and monetizing it has yielded fantastic results since a writer can utilize multiple income streams.
By the way, your co-workers and maybe even that boss you just fired wants in on your secrets.
You can publish an e-book to a blog and charge for digital downloads.
Fantastic, right?
You can also make money from Google ads, and Google AdSense will reward you for clicks.
Find that niche of yours. That passion, and go the freaking distance by creating relevant content to your blog and monetizing it with ads.
Again, you're going to have to work hard at making this blog visible. Google won't trust new sites, and each site has to prove its worth by providing high-quality information, or information that just stays on topic and within a site's niche.
But once you find something you're good at, what you're passionate about, why not blog about it?
Even if you don't like writing, start a blog. All you're doing is communicating a point per post. The point in this post is to show you ways to make money online as a writer.
Anything can become a blog. There are relationship blogs, fitness blogs, sports blogs, you name it. I came across one blog today where the author's niche was tractor trailers.
Anything is possible here.
Affiliate Marketing
Why stop at just monetization via Google AdSense when it comes to blogging?
Heck, you need to have more than just Google AdSense if you want to succeed and capture as much income as you can.
Why not sign up for affiliate marketing?
Sites like Amazon and eBay both have affiliate programs and are easy to get into.
On your niche blog, you can review products, both good and bad, create affiliate links, and bam, people can buy through your site.
Review products systemically, and Google will award you for your affiliate efforts. Don't always provide affiliate links to every article, but when you see a product you feel needs reviewed, by all means review it.
In time, you will have enough traffic wishing to click through and get their hands on the product you're featuring.
Easy, right?
Well, in time yes, but in the short-term, as in the first twelve to eighteen months, you're responsible for an uphill battle that involves generating traffic.
On any blog you start, it'll be an early battle, so whatever you do, don't walk out of your dreaded day job.
The key is to persevere and not get discouraged. Building blogs will take time, and making a living off strictly affiliate marketing takes even more time.
Guest Blog
While guest blogging doesn't always pay, it will grant you exposure and usually bloggers you guest post on will give you a chance to get your website into your author bio.
So, you're either going to get paid or you're going to get exposure, or both.
Either way, blogs that you can guest post on that generate a lot of traffic will likely send readers your way if they like your work.
So why not guest blog?
It's something I need to get into doing more often, not once every six months. The publicity you can and will attain via guest blogging will lead to more web traffic and if you do have AdSenese or affiliate products on your site, you'll make a few bucks in the process.
Freelance Write
Some of us can wear many hats and take on writing projects we've never seen before. If this sounds like you, why not freelance write?
A freelance writer can have a niche or two, but they can also have a broad spectrum from which to work.
If you can write about motocross and turn around to write about kitchenware, freelancing is for you. It's not unusual for the freelance writer to write about fly fishing in one article and submit one later on about life in Manhattan.
Freelancers love writing about different topics and get bored with repetition.
If this describes you, try freelancing.
While the bigger jobs won't come for a bit, win over small gigs and build yourself a resume.
Okay, we just covered six strategies on how to make money writing.
If any jumped out at you, start researching on different ways to make money in these six sub-fields in greater depth.
And yes, you can even undertake multiple writing niches at once and always feel free to take on all six.
Success in the matter is completely up to you and like I said, these strategies all require one thing: Work.
You need to work to earn your writer stripes, and if you despise your day job, it's time to change your thought process and make ends meet.

Kratos integrates Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR) technology with its state of the art simulation systems and instructional design to develop synthetic training environments (STE) that reduce costs, increase speed to market and deliver fidelity performance.
Kratos VR solutions have been in production for a decade. When combined with motion base platforms, hoist and weapons simulators the user receives a fully immersive experience of rotor-wing aircrew operations.
Augmented Reality (AR) systems provide a combination of computer generated (CG) entities with real world entities (aircrew members). It gives the operator the ability to see actual crew members in the training environment while they're interacting with real world objects.
Kratos is continually investing in IR&D efforts to design, develop and integrate Mixed Reality solutions. The possibilities are significant for military, medical and other educational purposes as MR allows direct manipulation of real environments that are seen with the human eye to be changed into a scenario based training environment.

Never getting off
When the V train was approaching my station this morning, I so didn't want to get off it. People began to get up and walk towards the doors, they were anxiously yearning to get off the train and begin their Friday in the city, but I was so hesitant to get up. I thought, wouldn't it be nice to just stay on the train and ride and ride, and never have to get off? No, I wasn't thinking getting off at Coney Island, but I was thinking about never getting off. What if I can just stay on the train forever, and read my book? (I am halfway through Sullivan's Rats.) It's definitely a sign of not wanting to go into the office, but it's more like a way to escape from reality. Well, I guess thinking about not wanting to go to the office is definitely an escape. Gosh, all is happening is that I am sitting on the training, merely riding and reading—it's good to keep it the way it is.

Last week, a group of jihadists burst into a hospital in Hazzeh and terrorized the patients before murdering a paramedic and stealing an ambulance.
Dr. Said Fliti, one of MSF's coodinators in Syria, told Sputnik France that the attack has made it too difficult for doctors to work in the region, which is under the control of rebels opposed to the Syrian government.
"Two days in a row, on April 29 and 30, a group of thirty armed, masked men broke into the hospital searching for some specific patients. They hijacked an ambulance and killed one of the auxiliary medical personnel. We strongly condemn this attack," Fliti said.
MSF said that while they know the perpetrators belong to armed rebels, they aren't such exactly which militia is responsible.
"At the moment, we can't say which group they belong to because it still isn't clear."
However, the doctor did confirm that "they were armed groups which belong to the opposition."
MSF described its decision to suspend operations because of the attacks as a "serious signal to all warring factions."
"The doctors who are working there and with whom we are in contact, understand our position and the reasons why we took such a decision. We want to protect patients, our workers and medical facilities. They [the doctors] also think that we are sending a serious signal to all sides of the conflict."
While MSF was unwilling to name those responsible, others familiar with the area said that the jihadists responsible are the same foreign-backed rebels which have been operating in Eastern Ghouta for several years.
"For the last five years, this territory has been controlled by terrorist groups … there are two factions operating there, one armed by Turkey, and the other by Saudi Arabia. For the last six days, there has been conflict in this zone," Wammoy told Sputnik.
"There is no Syrian army in Ghouta, they are outside this zone, and MSF are inside it, where the fighting is. So, one of these terrorist groups is responsible for what happened to MSF."
"They [MSF] decided to illegally cross the Syrian border and go to areas controlled by Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State [Daesh] and the rest of those organizations. Their names may be different, but they are all the embodiment of the same evil […] They all follow Wahhabi philosophy," Wammoy said.
On Thursday, Russia, Iran and Turkey, the guarantors of Syria's nationwide ceasefire, signed a memorandum on establishing de-escalation zones in four areas of Syria, including Eastern Ghouta.
According to the terms of the memorandum, hostilities between conflicting parties in these areas will cease, allowing the delivery of medical aid, humanitarian convoys and the restoration of basic infrastructure.

My first trip to the Chicago Botanic Garden this year was in June – I have posted some of the flowers from that trip and I'm going back to it right now. I could not locate the name of this curious little white and yellow flower with pinkish leaves. It's unique, though, isn't it?
I also noticed others of the same species, but their leaves are white (you can see them in the background of this photo). They were located in one of the greenhouses.

Changeover: A Tennis Tale (Part 4)
In the spirit of Wimbledon, which began this week, I present a short story I wrote a decade ago, but have recently updated. Enjoy. And get out there and play tennis this summer.
The reinvention had to start with a new dynamic tennis story for Chet. In the past, Chet inhabited the role of a tennis scrapper, hustler, plodder, an indefatigable human backboard who wore down high school opponents like the Europeans always wore down the Americans on clay. Most high school players had no patience, no staying power on the court. That's why so many scores were 7-6, 6-love and why Chet won most of his matches 2-6, 7-6, 6-love. He knew if he could hang with an opponent into the third set, he would always win. He always outlasted them. He did not have the tennis talent (or desire) to do this at the collegiate level, there was never any pretense about that, but in high school, the strategy took Chet a long way, to a 17-4 record in league and a fourth seed in the district tournament.
But that scrapper role was now history and Chet detached from it with perfect serenity. Chet knew he must assume a new role, the world beater in American culture, Mr. Love's favorite obsession to teach about in class…Huck Finn, Sal Paradise, Thoreau, The Ramones, Jackie Robinson, Walt Whitman, Rachel Carson, Ida Wells, Upton Sinclair, early Elvis, early Brando, Orson Welles, Muhammad Ali, Lyndon Johnson and Jack Kramer. One of the books Chet read thoroughly for his project was Kramer's autobiography, The Game: My Forty Years in Tennis. In fact, Chet could hardly put the book down. What interested him most was Kramer's vivid retelling of his relentless lead role in the creation of professional tennis in the farcical era of amateurism. Jack Kramer had been a world beater in the finest American tradition, and his merry band of professionals barnstormed the world to places such as La Paz and Khartoum and played exhibitions in ice rinks and airport hangars with mosquitoes, nose bleeds and hangovers. In two decades, Kramer and company busted the ancient monopoly of tournament tennis and ushered the sport into the television age. There had been nothing like it in the history of professional sports and Chet knew that Jack Kramer, above all others, was responsible for the spectacular rise of tennis in America because he took it out of the elite clubs and into the city parks.
My new role, Chet envisioned, will also initiate a return to when tennis reigned, wood was king, American was thin, someone like Jimmy Carter could become President, when The Inner Game of Tennis was a monster bestseller and the basis for a PBS series, and when young boys would ride their bikes to the park, play tennis for hours while listening to Earth Wind and Fire and Stevie Wonder on the radio, and not need a hovering parent fretting over sunburn, dehydration, or obscene lyrics.
Chet reached into his bag, searching for something by feel. He found it. The Jack Kramer Autograph—the M-1 rifle of American tennis for almost two generations. He hoisted the racket aloft by its leather grip, then twirled it. He lowered the racket and moved his hand to its throat. He brought the racket to his noise and smelled: it smelled like wood, even after three decades of dank garaged exile! It was wood! This racket's material had once been a stately hardwood tree grown from a seed! From the earth! What an exquisite piece of craftsmanship, of metaphor, a maple and ash laminate, lacquered, stamped with "Made in the USA" on the top of the frame. Chet swung a couple of lazy forehands with the Kramer. He had never hit with it before. The thought had never occurred to him.

Understanding what turns you on in life is part of learning about yourself. It is a process foundational to everything you read on this blog, because like boundaries, I can't tell you what you will love – sorry! Let yourself enjoy the joy-seeking process with the energy and excitement you used to have as a child. If you had a crappy, strict childhood – I give you full authority to LET GO and explore. You're welcome 🙂
I am a learner by nature, so I tend to try new things all the time. Sometimes I try things I like, and other times I try things that I really don't. If you don't have hobbies, or interests, it's a good idea to get out and try a bunch of things (safely!) to see what turns you on. You might find that you enjoy things that are challenging, or that you hate challenge. You might learn what comes naturally for you.
Most importantly, when you start getting into new things, you begin developing not only a sense of joy, but an individual sense of who you are and what matters to you. Get in the habit of dreaming, something we sadly stop doing at some point.
Writing, helping others, doing yoga, playing strategy board games, creating pretty things, growing flowers, all bring me joy. I make time for those things because they give me the energy to keep going. I try many things, and carefully pay attention to how they make me feel. If something feels draining regularly (draining, not challenging), I promptly remove it from my life.
I know this seems easier said than done, and in truth, it is. Distinguishing what brings you authentic joy from those things that you feel should bring you joy is difficult. Listening to that inner compass is challenging because it forces us, sometimes, into a place of cognitive dissonance. "I should value this job for the amazing pay, but I don't want to get out of bed to get there.", "I should enjoy cooking because everyone on Pinterest looks so happy doing it, but it makes me anxious to come up with the perfect meal plan."
Practical Exercise
Finding time for this is critical. I am not recommending that you spend hours on the task; 5 minutes a few times throughout the day is sufficient. The idea is to make constant joy-assessment a habit. My personal favorites are right as I'm going to sleep, while I'm showering, while I'm driving. If you have kids and can't find time to escape, make it a family affair. We actually pose these kinds of "dream it" questions to our kiddos all the time, but sadly don't practice it ourselves. Have them draw a picture or write a story. Chances are they will have more fun with it, so take a lesson from them and dream big! If you do have time to yourself, and you happen to be a Pintrester like me, you might find creating a secret board will help you review the kinds of things that seem to bring you joy. Maybe you find you pin a lot of blue, a ton of farmscapes, family portraits, or funny memes. Whatever the commonalities are, it will help bring realization to the things that bring your heart happiness. Don't focus too much on that now, though. Just pin, list, or make notes.
This exercise is about self reflection and honing in on what kinds of things make you feel joy, and it is extremely important in establishing real goals, knowing what makes you happy, and learning the difference between feeling real joy and simply settling.
When you first start really thinking about what makes you tick, you might be surprised. The most important thing to remember is that joy is an individual as we are human. There is no right or wrong answer, and the quest for joy is extremely personal. Try not to involve other people, and be painfully honest with yourself.
Also, leading a joy-filled life is more of a lifestyle in itself. Certainly it is a mentality that is easier to maintain once you understand how to properly assess your life and the people and material things in it, but do not be discouraged if something that once brought joy no longer does. Living joyfully means learning to constantly reassess, and being emotionally intelligent enough to recognize when your needs and interests have changed. Be honest with yourself, and release to the universe as necessary.
I am honest with myself and embrace the fluidity of living for joy.

Tips for Having a Successful Camp.
Camping can sometimes be challenging and stressful, but it is considered to be full of fun especially if you have your family or friends. According to me, I believe camping is more enjoying that spending time in a hotel room in a foreign country. Several campsites have been erected to with all the amenities to facilitate the rising number of individuals who are interested in the activity. The availability of the campsites has contributed to the rise in the number of kids who go for camping with their families. Here are some of the ways through which you can ensure that you have a successful camp with minimal challenges.
Yes, your safety depends on the site that you choose, and the number of people you carry to the camp. It is frightening to camp alone especially in an area that you are not familiar with. Therefore, the most important factor to consider is your safety. If possible you should go with a group of friends or even family. The friends will come in handy especially if you fall ill or sustain an injury during camping.
The state of the weather might ruin your camp and therefore should be put into consideration. It is not advisable to go to places where it might rain since you might end up not enjoying the camp. Camping in areas that are prone to flooding is also not advisable. The area should be flat so that you can fix your tent without difficulties. The place should be flat enough to allow you enjoy the nights.
The other tips for having a good camp is ensuring that you have enough water. Water should be available throughout the camping days. Instead of carrying containers of water from home that can be stressing you should choose a camping site where you can access water. The campsite are preferred as there is lighting, security, and all the other basic amenities. Convenient means of cooking is also important.
The place should guarantee safety to your health. Change of environment can sometimes contribute to illness. Apart from illness, you might also sustain minor injuries and thus you should have a first aid kit. Irrespective of the magnitude of the injury, first aid is important. The area should be close to a health facility for referral if the illness intensifies.

Supervisor: Prof. Michel Jayboyedoff
Expert: Andrea Pedrazzini
The present study concerns the deep-seated gravitational slope deformation (DSGSD) of the south-east slope of the Arpille massif. This rectangular mountain is part of the Aiguilles-Rouges external crystalline massif in the centre of the Swiss Alps close to the city of Martigny in the Rhône valley. Its glacial history is complex and left many traces. Two main lithologies compose the slope: crystallines rocks from Aguilles-Rouges massif, like orthogneiss and paragneiss, and limestones from the Mont-Blanc cover. In the area surrounding the tectonic contact between those two lithologies, rocks are laminated by a vertical alpine schistosity. This particularity affects the lower part of the south-east slope. This cleavage is totally toppled over the limit of the DSGSD. This is one of the main characteristics of the geometry of the Arpille DSGSD. The aim of the study is to develop a global understanding of this phenomenon. The results are based on in-situ investigations as well as geomorphological and geological analyses. Numerical and geometrical models have been developed to understand the role of pre-existent structures in the formation of the DSGSD and associated morpho-structures.

Central Indiana home sales drop 14.7 percent in March
F.C. Tucker reports 11.6 percent increase in inventory as prices continue to rise
INDIANAPOLIS – Monthly real estate stats from F.C. Tucker Company indicate a decrease in homes sold as sale prices continue to climb. March 2019 pended sales decreased 14.7 percent compared to March 2018 while the average year-to-date sale price for the 15-county Central Indiana region increased 6.1 percent to $212,214.
Fewer homes sold in 14 of the 15 counties F.C. Tucker tracks compared to March 2018. In March 2019, 3,615 central Indiana homes were purchased, down from 4,240 sold in March 2018. Specifically:
- Shelby County showed the most growth in homes sold with a 7.7 percent increase in March 2019 compared to March 2018.
- Putnam County pended sales, however, decreased the most at 39.3 percent compared to March 2018.
Despite the decreased home sales, houses spent less time on the market and increased in average year-to-date home prices in all but three counties.
- Shelby County decreased the most with a 6.2 percent lower sale price compared to March 2018, while Putnam County experienced the highest price increase at 19.4 percent compared to this time last year.
- Boone County had the highest average home price in the region at $337,242 as Hamilton County dropped to second highest price at $328,590 for the first time in over a year.
- Homes sold in 53 days on average, 12 days and 18.5 percent faster than year-to-date 2018. Johnson and Putnam County's homes were the fastest-selling in the market at 46 days.
Inventory continues to increase in 2019, with 504 more homes listed than March 2018. In March 2019, inventory stood at 4,850 homes, an increase of 11.6 percent compared to the same month in 2018.
- Marion County experienced the highest increase in inventory, with 32.6 percent more listings than March 2018.
- Jennings County's inventory dropped the most at 30.0 percent compared to March 2018.
"Central Indiana remains a seller's market as housing prices continue to increase and homes leave the market faster," said Jim Litten, CEO and owner of the F.C. Tucker Company. "Despite fewer home sales, Indianapolis is still a strong housing market compared to other cities around the country, and buyers have multiple housing options to choose from at all prices."

OK first of all, don't get bitten by the gear bug - it's expensive, you will always want something else, and after a few uses you probably won't want to use it again that much.....
The photos you took aren't too bad at all... Cropping off the tops of heads is not a sin, I do it regularly, and on purpose, to raise the level of the eyes in the photo (rule of thirds), as long as the customer is happy with that kind of photo (never do it with a Sikh family!).
3 additions I would recommend you to invest in are:
1) a tripod, pain in the ass to carry around but there will be times you wished you had a steady platform. If you think landscape photography is something you want to do - then spend as much as you can afford, else a cheap tripod will suit you fine.
2) a polarising filter, essential for outdoor shots if there is going to be windows, water or any other non-metallic reflecting surface around, and
3) a flash, Steve has already pointed out one of your photos that could have benefitted from flash.
Put your photos onto forums and get good critique, it will help you improve your photography, but beware there can be some nasty buggers out there, so don't take the critique too seriously.
Take photos all the time. A very good suggestion is at least to shoot the equivalent of a roll of film every week (36 photos) and learn from the mistakes you made. You have already got the camera off green box mode, which is great - try a few shots in manual - see if you can guess the right speed and aperture settings before you check the meter. Learn how to look at the light and shadows, learn about contrast, but, mainly enjoy your photography.

Breach 5
From Order of Contempt of 02-20-1998:
(e) On or about October 20, 1997, in violation of the Order, Armstrong created and caused to be widely disseminated by means of the Internet a documentary work which violated the terms of the above referenced Judgment. See Wilson declaration. Exhibit I.
From Wilson Declaration of 12-01-1997:
19. On or about October 20, 1997, in violation of the Order, Armstrong created and caused to be widely disseminated by means of the Internet a documentary work which discussed CSI and other beneficiaries of the Settlement Agreement. A true and correct copy of said documentary work is attached hereto as Exhibit [I].
Exhibit I:
From: armstr…@ntonline.com (gerry armstrong)
Subject: Scientology Threatens Channel 4 TV in UK
Date: 1997/10/20
Message-ID: <email@example.com>#1/1
X-Deja-AN: 281901715
Organization: Rapidnet Technologies Internet
Newsgroups: alt.religion.scientology
As is probably well known 3BM Television has produced for Channel 4 a
documentary biography of Hubbard.
As I understand it, Scientology representatives have been threatening
Channel 4 to prevent the airing of the program. The threat, as it
relates to me and that I know about, is of obtaining an injunction
based on the charge that 3BM induced me to breach the 1986 settlement
"agreement" and the Marin County Califiornia judgment which prohibit
me from speaking about Scientology, Hubbard and so forth.
3BM did not induce me to breach any agreement or judgment. The fact is
I am willing to communicate to anyone about Scientology or Hubbard and
my experiences therewith at any time (you can't hold down a good grade
zero release) and require no inducement. I was more than willing to be
interviewed by 3BM in order to have the opportunity to make known
Scientology's obtaining its tax exemption in the US by the submission
of false statements to the IRS.
But even if I had been induced, the "agreement" was obtained
illegally; and even if it had not been obtained illegally it is
illegal on its face. The judgment is equally illegal.
What Scientology is seeking to do is prevent someone from talking
about a dead founder of a "religion." If it is for any reason legal in
the UK to prevent someone from talking about the dead founder of
Scientology, it is equally legal to prevent someone for any reason
from talking about the dead founder (even if that founder, as opposed
to Hubbard, had been resurrected from the dead) of any religion. Since
it is not legal for any reason to prevent someone from talking about
Mohammed, Buddha, Confucius, Abraham, Lao-tzu, Xenu or Jesus of
Nazareth, it is not legal to prevent anyone from talking about
Hubbard. If it is conceivably legal to prevent anyone for any reason
from talking about any of these religious founders there is no freedom
of religion. Who but Scientology would want no one to be permitted
legally to talk about these religious founders? Who but Scientology is
seeking to destroy freedom of religion in the UK?
Anyone who has an interest, check out this story. Post Channel 4's
e-mail and street addresses and other data and contact them. Write
them and tell them for the sake of religious freedom to not be
shuddered into silence by the anti-religion Scientology. Roland can
organize a picket. Someone else can present it to Parliament.
Let the media in the UK know. Drum up interest. And drum the cult out
of the anti-religion business.

(Filed Under wholesale Activewear News). (MAGIC Report) How's this for a marketing strategy? HBL Couture, a new workout wear brand (designed for an ageless "sexy confident modern woman") may soon be offered in as many as 50,000 beauty salons across the US. The apparel brand happens to be owned by the same entity that owns Enjoy Haircare, according to Kaneta Harmon, an HBL designer and spokesperson. Enjoy already sells its grooming products in those locations, Harmon claims, and believes that the new workout gear will be welcomed by the salons.
HBL stands for health, beauty and life, which also happens to be the name of a magazine that Enjoy produces.
Exercise pants in the line retail at $94.95, tops for $64.95. Opening orders are $500. The workout gear is made of a thick, high perfermance Supplex fabric blend. The line already sells in such outlets as the La Jolla Sports Club, Pearl Salon in the same town, and the Pacific Athletic Club. The collection is also retailed on the HBL website.
HBL introduced the collection at MAGIC (February 13-15), the San Diego-based company's first time at the show.
"Women want to hang out in the clothes that they work out in" declared John Harmon, also with HBL. "You can go from the gym, to running around and then go to happy hour and still look hot," continued Kaneta.

"Our 13 year old Jeffrey, yet another miracle of God's"
Dear Friends!
Praise the Lord! I have heard such great responses from this last week of testimonies! Everyone really enjoyed the prophecies of redemption, freedom, and revelation. I thought that it would be fitting for me to end this week on a personal testimony, and given my eldest son Jeffrey's 13th birthday we just celebrated, I thought that it would be good to share my story of becoming a mom for the first time. It really was a miracle.
As many of you may of may not know, Jeff and I met and were married very quickly. After just 3 months of knowing each other, we had our honeymoon, and that was a wonderful time for both of us. We had decided to wait to sleep together until our honeymoon and I can still recall the awesome feeling of waking up as a newly married couple, there was such peace and tranquility. No shame, no regret. We were married and it was awesome! I had just spent the last three months planing a very QUICK wedding was exhausted, so we pretty much slept our entire honeymoon and watched a Tears for Fears marathon on the VHI music channel (oh how romantic).
"I can still remember coming home and saying "Honey I am not going to work any more, I know somehow you will figure everything out.""
Right before I was married, when I was living with my parents and covered by their insurance, I was on a birth-control shot that lasted only three months into our marriage. You can imagine what happened as soon as it wore off… I became pregnant with our first son. I was working retail at the time, in a fancy department store standing on my feet and knew that this could not last. Jeff and I had talked about me staying home and raising our children and how someday we would be able to do it. I can still remember at the three month of being pregnant mark, coming home and saying "Honey I am not going to work any more, I know somehow you will figure everything out." You know what, he did! We discussed our options, and what it came down to was moving, selling things, and doing without luxuries. It also involved Jeff stepping out in faith and starting a cleaning business, I am glad he did.
This period of moving from an expensive apartment to a modest duplex, and learning how to cook potatoes a thousand ways, was one of the most character building times of my life. Even though we didn't have much, I had freedom and time. I could nest, and decorate and sleep… oh the sleep!!! (I always encourage first time pregnant women to sleep sleep sleep!) What a luxurious humbled life I led! In the last trimester; I slept until 11 am, woke up to eat, went and took a nap until 5… then woke up to cook dinner, ate again… and went back to bed! (As you can imagine I gained quite a few pounds with my first baby!)
"7pm, October 19, 1997 in Tualatin, Oregon my life forever changed."
I was a nervous wreck when delivery started, it was as if I had forgotten everything I had learned in class designed to "prepare" me for delivery. I had received so many different kinds of advice that now when push came to shove (pardon the pun) everything had flown in one ear and out the other! Thirteen years ago I had to wait to be 8cm dilated for an epidural, and thankfully I was able to endure. All that I can remember from that delivery was that I had a great view, a Rocky marathon was on TBS, Jeff was asleep on the couch, and my mom was there to see him born that's about it!
The miracle really happened next… Yes, the birthing process was cool. Yes, it was great being able to get pregnant so fast. Yes, it was even remarkable being able to stay home. But none of this compared to the revelation miracle that I received on the 7th day after his birth.
"I had also heard my grandmother who had her own four kids tell me, "Jessica don't buy into this postpartum nonsense.""
You probably won't be surprised when I inform you that I don't subscribe to the postpartum diagnosis. I know that you have known me long enough to tell you that "all sickness is satanic oppression" and if it doesn't line up with the Word of God, than I am going to have no part in it. Mothers get exhausted, primarily from a lack of understanding how things work. The Word of God says that we have not been given a spirit of fear, and that the devil is a destroyer NOT God. I knew enough of this after my baby was born that I wasn't going to excuse any form of depression. As this depression was not excusable to me, I never let myself go there. I had also heard my grandmother who had her own four kids tell me, "Jessica don't buy into this postpartum nonsense." Her frankness on this issue was all I needed to hear.
"I was exhausted from having tried to do everything in that darn "What to Expect Book"!"
I could recognize however that I was exhausted and too proud to admit it. I was exhausted from having tried to do everything in that darn "What to Expect Book"! (which should be thrown out if you have one) I remember trying to wake my baby up at all kinds of hours to eat, stripping him naked and then washing him down. (This does not make them hungry this makes them MAD!)
I remember changing him every hour, burping him wrong, feeding him wrong. He had thrush in his mouth, and I had engorgement in places that I did know could get "engorged". I was getting NO sleep at all trying to get this baby to eat, and trying to be the perfect wife and mother! To add to things, we had a "family bed"… so the baby slept right in between Jeff and I… I have since learned, BIG mistake!
"Physiologically, I had gotten in the unfortunate habit of watching the clock at 7pm EVERYDAY and saying to myself, "He is another day older…""
Physiologically, I had gotten in the unfortunate habit of watching the clock at 7pm EVERYDAY and saying to myself, "He is another day older…" I was torturing myself! EVERYDAY I thought on a 24 hour schedule of how old he was getting and "growing up before my eyes". Things were going from bad to worse. I needed comfort, I needed sleep, and I needed peace most of all.
Finally on the eve of the eighth day, a dam burst in my heart and I could take it no longer. I was bawling as I held my sleeping baby in my arms, and at 2 am, Jeff woke up to hear me sobbing and asked me if I was "ok". Being a wife married to a sole bread winner, I reassured him that I was fine and then I told him to go back to bed. I never asked him to do anything, no diaper changing, no feedings, nothing. Why? Because I knew how hard he was working. The mental and physical strain, and I really did not want to burden him with baby duties too. He did his part, by never criticizing the house and just stepping over all the clothes on the floor and practiced not observing the general filthiness of the house while I figured out everything to do with mothering.
"It felt to me like motherhood and nursing, were the most un-natural things in the world!"
There I lay, bawling, with this amazing bundle of baby. (I can't say joy, because ashamedly to say that at that point having a baby WASN"T joy.. it was WORK) So here laid this baby, in my arms, so precious and sweet, sleeping sound and calm. Not a care in this world. I had done everything I could to be there for him to be the "perfect" mother. Everyday was quickly going by, and I still felt like we (the baby and I) were wrong sides of velco strip. Rubbing at each other and not sticking to each other. It felt to me like motherhood and nursing, were the most un-natural things in the world! Then, in my darkest hour, wondering if I would ever be me again the Lord spoke to me,
"Jessica. You know he isn't yours right?"
"What God?"
"Yes, you know he isn't yours right. He's mine, all mine."
"Overnight, I had been set free."
What sweet words for the Lord to speak to me! My tears dried up, instead of kept pouring, and I began to see that I was just the womb that was entrusted to carry another life for God. Jeffrey, this little precious boy (whose name means peacemaker) was put on this earth for greatness, for a purpose, for a design. Not just for me to raise or feel attached to. Jeffrey wasn't, and couldn't be my identity. Jeffrey was here for God, and I was here for them both. Suddenly, I became overwhelmed with peace. Overnight, I had been set free. I started sleeping whenever he slept, and I began to treasure him as the Lord's treasure.
I threw away all of my books on raising kids, and I stopped watching the clock. I began a process of praying for God's children (not mine) and enjoying everyday that we had together like it was the only day that mattered. Around this same time, some acquaintances of ours, that we had really respected had a son who died in his sleep at 30. His mother said to us all, "He was not my son, he never was. He was merely a temporary visitor in our house and we were blessed to be honored to have been chosen to raise him."
That was all I needed to hear. Praise God for children, they are like arrows in a quiver! The Bible says and "blessed be the man whose quiver is full of them."
We, who are parents, are blessed to be able to have the opportunity to raise God's children. Everyday since that first week, I have manage to maintain a due diligence to living life moment by moment. To really soak up each day from beginning to end. I am not in fear of missing something, I just want to see everything. Have these last 13 years gone by fast? NO, they have been as slow as molasses on a hot summers day!
I haven't been rushing to do anything with God' children. I have been watching each minute of the day unfold a new revelation of the character of these five amazing persons of God. Each day is a memory in the making, and I am in the midst of this memory, and each day that the Lord has these children in my care, I am a washed with thanksgiving! Praise the Lord! I was set FREE! Free to be the mother the Lord always intended for me to be!
God Bless you friends,
Love Always-

Beacons, Bluetooth Low Energy technology, and iBeacon technology are just some of the terms that are popping up across the Internet in recent weeks. The technology has great potential for Museums, Stadiums and other location-based experiences. However, it can sometimes be difficult to understand the articles because of the new terms. That is why we decided to build our own little beacon dictionary.
Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Technology
Let's start the list with the actual technology behind the hype. Bluetooth Low Energy (also called Bluetooth Smart or Bluetooth 4.0) has been around since 2006 and it is basically a scaled down version of 'classic' Bluetooth as you can see in the illustration below.
BLE has approximately half the range of 'classic' Bluetooth and it has a lower battery consumption. With BLE technology the connection is established faster but the throughput is lower. As a result BLE is the best solution for triggering notifications in an app but not for sending actual data to your phone.
A beacon is basically any device that can send out a BLE signal. This means that smartphones that support the technology are beacons, placing an iPhone 5 next to every painting in a museum wouldn't be cost effective. Around 20 companies have started manufacturing small pieces of hardware to allow businesses to implement this technology at a reasonable price. We made a list of the biggest manufacturers.
The story of the beacons doesn't end there, potentially any BLE enabled device can be a beacon. Samsung is putting BLE technology in watches. This video demonstrates some of the potential benefits are shown restaurants could have when using an iPad as a beacon.
iBeacon technology
The iBeacon technology is Apple's trademark name for the protocol that is needed to change the received BLE signal into a notification on your phone. The exact definition for iBeacon technology is a bit vague, this description will help you get a better understanding of the articles.
NFC vs BLE vs QR-codes
NFC technology was expected to be the answer for proximity marketing and payment solutions. A helpful comparison between BLE and NFC can be found in this infographic. NFC has some advantages over BLE, however BLE has more possible user cases and it is already integrated into a wide range of smartphones. QR-codes? Well, lets just say that they were never the best looking option.

Back to school for LCSD2 students
Students in southeastern Laramie County returned to school Monday, and administrators and faculty reported a successful first day.
"There were lots of happy faces here today," Pine Bluffs Elementary Principal Andrea Verosky said Monday.
That PBES students had a place to go to school Monday is worth noting.
Due to the renovation at the old elementary school, school officials planned for PBES students to attend classes at the adjacent historic high school in Pine Bluffs. After last month's hailstorm, it looked as though the building may be too damaged to support classes.
That was not the...

Took a stroll into North Korea today. Although it was only about three meters, my visit to the DMZ/JSA was one of the coolest things I've done. You could really feel the tension in the air. Awesome experience.

Working Group on farm animals
Livestock animals are of high importance in biomedical or in agricultural and veterinary research. In contrast to small laboratory animals, they are usually obtained directly from farm production, resulting in lower homogeneity and variation animal health status. Further challenges are the generally high requirement of personnel expertise, the refinements of housing conditions, and biosecurity risk including zoonotic.
The working group will develop new and practical recommendations for animal health and hygienic control with ruminants and pigs, focusing on relevant pathogens when importing and/or using livestock experimental animals.

There is something that simply cannot be avoided at this time of year. They're on the television, in the news, on the internet – they are utterly inescapable. No, not Christmas music, but lists.
Lists are everywhere during the Christmas season: present wish-lists, Christmas card lists, shopping lists; lists for top 10 films, books, albums, singles, TV-moments and sports personalities of the year; lists of resolutions, Christmas number 1's, news events and New Year's Honours; the list is endless (so sorry for that one).
Far be it for ICT to break with this traditional annual deluge of lists. After all, this is the time of year to look back and reflect on achievements and milestones passed over the last 12 months and what better to do this than in a list?
In this spirit, we've assembled a list of the countries ICT have visited this year and some other interesting statistics from 2016:

Its basically a mystery box each month click November to see what was in that box.Delete
looks amazing that palette is so cute and i love the color in your eyesReplyDelete
I like the purples and the greens. Not so sure how the yellows would look with my skin tone. I do like how there is a wide variety in the pallet and so there are many different looks you could create with out having to purchase tons of different individual colors. For someone who wears a lot of shadows and colors I can see this saving money AND time.ReplyDelete
I think I will need to check this out and tell my daughter about it. She loves to try new makeup all the time.ReplyDelete
That is super fun!! I owuld love to get one!ReplyDelete
This would make a fun gift! I have a couple friends that love trying new make up.ReplyDelete

Sunday Funday
This Sunday at Swarthmore College, the students enjoyed various activities intended to give them a break from the rigors of the past weeks classes and assignments. Each student was able to catch up a little on sleep as well as some brief exemptions from the language pledge in different circumstances during the day. As the day drew to a close, all the academies held a Language Pledge recommitment ceremony to ready everyone for the coming week. Here are some words from our wonderful staff pertaining to Sunday's events in each academy:
After a language charged week, the students deserved a relaxed Sunday morning. Students enjoyed a small sleep-in before they broke up into their living groups and explored the little town of Swarthmore for the first time. Beginners felt a wave of relief as the director, Étienne, called a brief momentary pause in the Language Pledge ®. The academy shouted together a countdown from ten to un, signifying the end of the pause, reestablishing their commitment to "parler en français." After finishing their second Sunday here at Swarthmore, students presented their action-packed comics and hilarious commercials from cultural exploration classes. The most exciting aspect of the evening occurred when the beginners signed the un-altered Language Pledge ®, joining their peers English-free for the next three weeks!
-Tess Lagor, French Residential Advisor
Sunday at the SWT Chinese academy gave the students a well-needed change of pace from the hectic week of classes, activities, cultural exploration activities, and assemblies. With a bit later start to the day, a screening of the Disney Classic "Mulan," and even an opportunity for some English communication with new friends, Sunday afternoon was a refreshing change of routine. The day ended with a "language pledge recommitment ceremony," where we were all reminded about the importance of keeping the language pledge and staying true to our promise to learn Chinese for the weeks to come. Then, we cheered as we all resigned our names, and returned home to relax before the school week would begin once again the next morning.
-Rebecca Levy, Chinese Residential Advisor
After an arduous week, the Spanish students relaxed with a day composed mostly of free time. Many slept late and woke up to play cards with their friends, or go to lunch at the dining hall. The Spanish RAs took groups off to watch Telenovelas, a type of soap-opera, and also to organize sports on the lawn. In the afternoon students were able to start their new Culture classes, including taking selfies in the style of various Hispanic artists and a class on muralism in Mexican Revolution.
-Tim Pillsbury, Spanish Dorm Head
Looking forward to another great week!

Michael is a free man and continues to terrorize Dynasty until she becomes fed up and takes matters into her own hands with the help from her sister and some friends. Michael is a force to be reckoned with but Dynasty has two daughters to protect which makes her an even deadlier force. Her motto becomes kill or be killed!
Dear Patricia by Lakenya "Ice" McClain
Twenty-seven year old Patricia thought she was married to the man she would spend the rest of her life with, until one day she found a letter that Ron had left her explaining he'd found someone else he wanted to be with. This caused Patricia to give up on the thought of love and loving anybody else the way she'd loved Ron.
For a year, she'd kept to her word and hadn't given any man the chance to get close to her, until she met Kevin Staples, the owner of Club Candy. Kevin was a breathe of fresh air and everything was going fine until her best friend, Ann, hit her with some unexpected news.
Follow Patricia as she deals with heartache, lies, deceit and possibly a real chance at love.
