Two years ago this weekend, my grandpa passed away. And I still don't really know how to write about it without sounding melodramatic or self-absorbed or whatever. Of course, if I try not to sound like those things, then it ends up sounding like we weren't that close. But we were. He was like a parent to me (which is not to impugn my own parents' parenting skills- this was not a my-mom-was-too-busy-spinning-around-a-pole-to-raise-me-so-Grandma-had-to-step-up situation.), and it was like losing a parent.
(Also? How many more times can I write the word "parent" in a sentence?)
So that happened. And it was (is) horrible.
In my head, there was a list of things I would be okay with doing this weekend. Drinking heavily was right up there. Attempting to sublimate my feelings with cheesecake- also a noble goal. Facebook would presumably also enter into the equation.
(I've heard people talk about this thing called exercise making you feel pretty good, but I'm waiting for more evidence.)
NOWHERE on the list was, "Dig through his waterlogged stuff."
Apparently, God, or whatever decided to make it rain more than it has, oh, MY ENTIRE LIFE, thought differently.
After he died, we rented out the house. (Because my mother, bless her soul, harbors illusions that I will be gainfully employed one day and can live there.) But we kept a room in the basement filled with furniture and boxes and stuff that we simply couldn't absorb into our house, but also really didn't want to get rid of. Most of it was off the floor on bricks or something, and we figured, eh, it'll be okay.
(By the end of that whole house process thing? I would have left my brother there and figured eh, he'll be okay.)
Until last night. When the lady who is living there now called and told us that water was pouring in the first floor and was waist deep in the basement. That…oh, God.
Because we really needed that. THIS WEEKEND.
This morning we headed down there, pretty much expecting almost everything to be ruined.
(Well, first I stopped and bought these adorable boots because I am impractical and own exactly no shoes that are appropriate for flood situations.)
Okay. I'm not a big spiritual girl. I've got nothing against miracles, I just tend to be a teensy bit on the pragmatic side. But…this was a miracle. There was practically no water in the room with our stuff. One cardboard box had wicked water up about six inches, but the piece of furniture inside was completely dry. There was no damage. There was dust on most of the stuff.
The main basement was sopping. Which I learned really quickly when I helped carry the woman's carpet upstairs and ended up with water (God, I hope it was just water) down my boots, down my shirt, on my face…everywhere.
But that room? With everything of his that we really, really wanted to keep, especially this weekend? Was completely safe.
So I guess that's not a bad way to start this weekend.

This album by Sri Chinmoy, "Songs of Eternity", 1972 was published in Kingston, Jamaica and was originally released as an LP.
"Songs of Eternity" — Selected Tracks
Last modified March 31, 2008
It was later re-released on CD.It features seven English songs which are based on poems from Sri Chinmoy's book of mystical poetry – "My Flute".
In his simple, yet beautifully elegant style, Sri Chinmoy's devotional poetry manifests the height and depth of mysticism, while at the same time charming us with the devotee's sweet intimacy with God. Sri Chinmoy started writing poems in the early 1940s, while at the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, a spiritual community in Pondicherry, India.
In this LP, "Songs of Eternity", we have a good example of the expressiveness of Sri Chinmoy's music. As a musician and a poet he showed and shared heights unparalleled.
We are grateful to Sri Chinmoy for this soulful and illumining offering, and hope that the inner beauty of this music will captivate your heart and lead you to greater heights in your life-journey.
Artist: Sri Chinmoy
Name: Songs of Eternity
Release year: 1972 (LP)

A colonoscopy is a safe, effective method to examine the colon (large intestine). While the patient is sedated, Dr. Levy uses a thin, flexible tube called a colonoscope, equipped with a light and tiny camera on one end, to look inside the rectum and the lining of the colon. A colonoscopy can show ulcers, irritated and swollen tissue, and polyps, extra pieces of tissue that grow on the lining of the intestines and sometimes progress to colon cancer. Most polyps can be biopsied (removed) during a colonoscopy. The biopsies are sent for microscopic evaluation by a trained pathologist to determine if they contain any abnormal cells.
Your physician may recommend a colonoscopy if you have changes in bowel habits (constipation, diarrhea), blood in your stool, unusual abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, a history of colon polyps or a history of colon cancer in your family, or if you suffer from inflammatory bowel disease (colitis) or Crohn's disease.
Catch Colon Cancer Before It Starts!
A colonoscopy is the most effective colon cancer screening tool available.
We know that most people don't look forward to having a colonoscopy, but it is a safe, effective procedure – and it can save your life! Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the U.S. Approximately 150,000 new cases of colorectal cancer are diagnosed every year in the United States and nearly 50,000 people die from the disease. The good news is that when detected in its early stages, colon cancer is also one of the most treatable and preventable cancers. If the cancer spreads outside the colon, survival rates are much lower.
Research has confirmed that the single best prevention for colon cancer is the early detection and removal of colon polyps, even before there are symptoms. Using a colonoscopy, physicians can locate and remove pre-cancerous polyps before they develop into cancer.
Why Choose US
Dr. Levy has a colonoscopy pre-cancer detection rate (ADR) that far exceeds national guidelines. This means that when Dr. Levy performs a colonoscopy, he finds and removes more pre-cancerous colon polyps than is expected based on recommended guidelines, making him a great choice for patients who want a screening colonoscopy, have a history of cancer, or have a family history of colon cancer.
Who Needs Colon Cancer Screening
Anyone can get colorectal cancer, and it affects both men and women equally. In its early stages, colon cancer shows no symptoms. This is why it's so important to get screened even if you feel fine. For patients without a family history of colon cancer or advanced polyps, The American College of Gastroenterology recommends screening colonoscopies for every adult beginning at age 50 and at age 45 for African-Americans. For those with a family history of the disease, or other risk factors, screening could start earlier. For example, if a close family member, like a parent, was diagnosed with colon cancer at age 45, the children of those parents should get screened at age 35 – 10 years before the age of their parent's diagnosis.
You may also need to be tested earlier than age 50 or more often if you have Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, or genetic syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (Lynch syndrome).
Are you at risk? Take our colorectal risk assessment survey below to find out.
Colorectal Cancer Risk AssessmentDownload Colorectal Risk Assessment
Preparation for Colonoscopy
Most medications can be continued as usual, but some medications can interfere with the preparation or the examination. Before your colonoscopy, you will need to discuss any medications you're taking with Dr. Levy, particularly aspirin products, arthritis medications, anticoagulants (blood thinners), insulin or iron products— or if you have any special medical conditions, including diabetes, pregnancy, lung or heart conditions. Also let us know if you are allergic to any medications.
The preparation involves going on a clear liquid diet for 24 hours prior to the procedure. For 3 days prior to this, you will be on a low residue diet. The night before the procedure, you will be prescribed a liquid solution that you drink. You will be given advice on taking regular medications during that time. Your colon must be completely empty for the colonoscopy to be accurate and complete so it is important to follow instructions carefully. Our staff will go over detailed instructions with when you schedule your colonoscopy.
What to Expect
On the day of the procedure you will be sedated by an anesthesia provider to keep you asleep and comfortable for the procedure. During the procedure, you will lie on your left side on an examining table and the physician will insert the colonoscope into the rectum and gently move it through your colon. Air is inflated into the colon through the scope to allow visualization. Instruments are inserted as needed to take biopsies or remove polyps. After the procedure, you may experience a little discomfort, like the feeling of having gas, but that soon subsides. The entire procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, although you should plan on one to two hours for waiting, preparation and recovery.
After your procedure Dr. Levy will explain the findings to you (or your companion). If a biopsy was performed or a polyp removed, you should get the results in 1-2 weeks. You will be contacted by phone by one of our nurses. Dr. Levy may give you other special instructions as well. Even though you should feel fine, you must have someone else drive you home after the procedure because of the sedatives. You should not drive, operate heavy machinery or make important decisions for up to 12 hours after your procedure.
You might have some cramping or bloating because of air that is introduced into the colon during the examination. This should disappear quickly when you pass gas. Most people can resume their regular diet later that day.
Complications Are Rare
Complications are uncommon but may include a perforation, or tear, through the bowel wall that could require surgery. Bleeding might occur at the site of biopsy or polypectomy, but it's usually minor. Bleeding can stop on its own or be controlled through the colonoscope; it rarely requires follow-up treatment. Injury to the spleen can occur. Some patients might have a reaction to the sedative agent or breathing problems related to the sedation.
Although serious complications from this procedure are very rare, contact us immediately if you notice severe abdominal pain, fever and chills, or rectal bleeding of more than one-half cup. Note that bleeding can occur several days after the procedure, especially if a large polyp was removed. Also understand that no procedure or test is perfect. There is a small possibility of missed polyps, and less likely, missed cancer with colonoscopy. For this reason, if your physician finds polyps, a repeat colonoscopy is recommended sooner than a patient who had a normal exam. If symptoms develop or continue despite colonoscopy, please see your physician for evaluation.

Nikki R.
Dr. Levy improved my quality of life so much! He is friendly, down to earth and takes more time with me than other gastroenterologists that I have dealt with. The care I've gotten from him changed my life. Under his care, I went from not being able to eat solid foods for a year to being able to eat normal foods I enjoy. I can tell he cares and I'm not just another patient. I'm so grateful to Dr. Levy!
Susan A.
Dr. Levy is unbelievable! My cardiologist insisted that I see Dr. Levy for my colonoscopy and I'm glad I did. His knowledge gave me a lot of confidence in what I was facing since I have inflammatory bowel disease. His caring and compassionate ways make him different from other physicians I've seen. He is kind, gentle, caring, and not pushy. His staff is excellent, and the Endoscopy Center was more efficient and personal than having my procedure at the hospital. I would recommend Dr. Levy to any friend or doctor.
Jane W.
Dr. Levy goes above and beyond to provide excellent care. I was very sick and getting worse, and with his knowledge and persistence he diagnosed a rare vascular condition called median arcuate ligament syndrome (MALS). This allowed me to find a specialist and cure my condition. Dr. Levy actually listened to me, did a full work-up, and took the time to research my case. Since seeing Dr. Levy, I haven't had any issues. I felt comfortable talking with him and I knew he would do whatever it took to help me. I highly recommend going to Dr. Levy!

Be sure to begin with Part 1.
"Every one of you should become an executive one day," the engagement partner said to my audit team.
No professor, no student, no coworker had ever spoken to me like that. It was the first time in my professional life someone emphasized focusing on life after the entry-level. To get an entry-level job at a big 4 accounting firm, I needed to be skilled in accounting. What, I wondered, did I need to become an executive?
Most of my interactions nowadays are with executives. My board of advisors consists of a people who have built very successful companies. My contacts at clients, prospects, and strategic alliance partners typically hold VP-level positions or higher. I am fortunate to interact with – and learn from – executives on a daily basis so early in my career. Those interactions have helped me come up with an answer to my question: what do I need to become an executive? The answer is not more skills and domain knowledge. Domain knowledge is important, of course, but many people acquire sufficient domain knowledge and never become executives.
I've found the core difference between executives and non-executives to be that executives learned how to think. By learning how to think, they also learned five themes of professionalism that enabled them to lead others successfully. They learned how to ask questions, approach solutions, solve problems, make decisions, and communicate effectively.
I call these "themes" because – unlike skills – they are subject-agnostic. Effective executives ask questions, approach solutions, solve problems, make decisions, and communicate effectively, regardless of the domain. They simply do so much better in domains in which they are skilled.
Teaching students how to think is not just a durable competitive advantage for universities, but the key to producing graduates that become executives.
So, how might universities redesign curriculum to teach students how to think?
Asking Questions: Arts, Humanities, and Business
Inquisition is the most important of all the themes. Professionals that never learn how to question themselves or others become liabilities in the workplace. They fall victim to answering questions they never ask with the infamous, "… because that's how it's always been done." Their inability to ask questions leads to an inability to learn new skills, new ways of doing things, and missed opportunities. Their fixed mindset renders them incapable of innovating, their high salary demands make them uncompetitive, and their careers regress.
In the first year of theme-based education, students learn how to ask critical questions in life and business. Arts & Humanities equip students with a generalized approach to asking questions. History teaches students about the consequences of failing to ask important questions. Literary studies teach students how to evaluate the world through multiple lenses. Philosophy teaches students how to ask a higher quantity of higher quality questions through those lenses. A program like Harvard Business Core (HBX) equips them with the skills they need to ask similar critical questions in business.
Approaching Solutions: Physical Sciences & Side Hustles
Perhaps the most important of all questions a person can learn to ask is: "is it true?" Is it true that our current year-end process is the most efficient approach? Is it true that our customers will adopt this new feature? Is it true that cutting these programs will lead to greater outcomes in the long-term? By asking these questions, we realize the importance of learning a reliable process to identify truth. There is no better process than the scientific method.
In the second year of theme-based education, students learn how to approach solutions to the questions they ask by mastering the scientific method. This theme is imparted unto them through coursework in physical sciences, such as physics, chemistry, and biology. To succeed in these courses – and future ones, they must also learn foundations of algebra and differential calculus.
Just as they learned how to ask questions in business in year one, students learn how to apply the scientific method in business in year two. This is done by building their own side hustles. Lean startup is a modern approach to entrepreneurship that is effectively a business adaptation of the scientific method. A recent study found that half of millennials have side hustles. By teaching them how to build side hustles, universities impart students with the theme of approaching solutions in business, and assist students in improving their financial situations.
Solving Problems: Engineering & Design Thinking
A reliable process for identifying solutions is inconsequential without the ability to generate solutions in the first place. That is why solving problems is the theme of the third year. There are two approaches to solving problems: analysis and design. The best solutions often require elements of both. It has been my experience that students gravitate toward one or the other, and businesses, governments, and society become infected with unilateral problem solvers.
A common stereotype is that product-oriented professionals (e.g. engineers) tend take an analytical approach, whereas people-oriented professionals (e.g. marketing and salespeople) tend to take a design approach. Such unilateral approaches to problem solving have been proven ineffective. Apple demonstrated the importance of incorporating design into products and Google demonstrated the importance of incorporating analytics into people operations. To acquire the ability to solve problems using both design and analysis, students study engineering and design thinking in year three.
Engineering forces students to take an analytical approach to problem solving, and provides effective feedback loops to measure correctness of their solutions. Computer science provides perhaps the best paradigm for learning analytical problem solving. There are an infinite number of computing problems to be solved, a person needs only a computer to solve such problems, and the duration of the feedback loop is usually on the order of milliseconds for problems that have efficient solutions.
Design thinking equips students with processes by which to ideate and test solutions to problems. Design thinking requires empathizing with the beneficiary of the solution. By learning how to solve problems empathetically, students learn how to address the needs of others. The ability to address the needs of others is critical for any executive to possess, if they wish to be an effective leader.
Making Decisions: Psychology, Statistics, Behavioral Economics, & Game Theory
Decision making is omni-present in life. In the fourth year, students learn how people tend to make decisions, as well as how to make better decisions in life and in business.
To understand how human-beings make decisions, students gain foundational knowledge in psychology – especially biases that affect decision-making and the use of heuristics to make decisions. To lay the foundation for making better decisions, students learn probability and statistics. Students learn to identify [and quantify] risk in their decision making. Instead of asking, "Is it true?", they learn to ask, "does the evidence suggest it is probably not false?" The difference may seem nuanced, but the implications are material. Seeking to confirm - instead of failing to reject - may lead to an indulgence in confirmation bias. Confirmation bias leads to making decisions that can have catastrophic consequences.
After laying the foundation in psychology and statistics, students explore ways to make good decisions in the real world. I have found two areas of study to be most helpful in that regard: behavioral economics and game theory.
Pioneered by Nobel-winning Psychologist Daniel Kahneman, behavioral economics does not try to model the aggregate effects of rational agents transacting in an efficient market. Instead, it aims to answer two questions: how might agents act irrationally within a market, and what are the implications to the market when they do? The keys to answering the first question lie in psychology. The keys to answering the second question lie in micro and macro-economics. Behavioral economics helps students understand how people tend to make decisions. Game theory then helps inform students what decisions to make. From product pricing strategies to diet and exercise, games appear in all aspects of business and life.
Probabilistic reasoning and game theory based on behavioral economics are powerful tools for making good decisions, consistently and reliably.
Communicating Effectively: Writing, Speaking, Debating, Negotiating, & Non-Verbal
The fifth theme - communicating effectively - overlays the other four. There are five forms of communication students ought to become proficient at before graduation: writing, speaking, debating, negotiating, and non-verbal.
In the current model, each of these is taught as its own subject. Students spend one or two semesters in an English class to advance their writing skills. They never think about how to improve their writing again, until their boss scolds them because their emails are unprofessional, their documents have spelling and grammar mistakes, or they forget to put cover sheets on their TPS reports. The same is true of public speaking. Most students only practice this skill in their first-year communications course. When they enter the professional world, they lead meetings and sales presentations that put audiences to sleep.
Nonetheless, at least students get some practice in written communication and public speaking. I have found students rarely learn how to debate, negotiate, or interpret non-verbal communication.
Failing to learn how to engage in mature discourse leads to an inability to constructively confront employees, co-workers, and bosses in the workplace. Such inability leads to spreading destructive rumors and complaints at the water cooler.
Failing to learn how to negotiate leads students to accept salaries below what they could have received, and has material impact on their livelihood - especially in the face of high student loan debt. However, negotiations don't just occur in the job interview. They arise in many other areas of business and life. Sales is negotiation as a profession, software engineers negotiate every time they groom their backlog or plan a sprint, and any parent is quite familiar with the daily negotiation of bedtime.
Accurately identifying and interpreting non-verbal communication is perhaps the most important of all the untaught communication skills. Understanding body language, macro, micro, and mini expressions, and being able to recognize discrepancies between a person's verbal and non-verbal communication are critically important abilities when dealing with others in business and in life. They become even more critical when dealing with people from different cultures.
To ensure students acquire these abilities to communicate effectively, I see no other way than for universities to change the function of professors from lecturer to facilitator. This may be done by curating or creating video lectures for students to watch before class, so class may be used for student presentations, discourse, and negotiation of ideas. Curating or creating video lectures will add work to professors' schedules in the first year. In the long-term, however, it will greatly reduce their workload as they no longer prepare lecture material before each class. Instead, they prepare thought-provoking questions, and facilitate discussion and collaboration between students during class.
Though it may not be apparent in an environment of rising college tuition that outpaces inflation, subject and skills-based education is in a race to the bottom. It is not a question of if, but when will the current university social contract expire? When will subject-based education be disintermediated by employers who refuse to wait four years for their workforce to be trained, and students who refuse to overpay universities to train them?
To deliver value and maintain a durable competitive advantage, universities must pivot away from a model in which they teach students how to learn subjects independently of one another, and offer majors that merely upskill students for entry-level jobs. They must adopt a model that teaches students how to think, and apply their thinking to the real world for the rest of their lives.
To achieve this, departments must shift their focus across campus. Instead of adding more skills-based curriculum, they must work with other departments to build robust opportunities for every student on campus to learn how to think. Professors must redefine their role in the classroom from one in which they lecture students on the material to one in which they facilitate students' discussion of the material.
It is time for departments to stop competing and start collaborating. It is time for universities to stop preparing graduates for the first two years after graduation, and start preparing them for the rest of their lives. It is time to forget the major.

PAREDES, MARIO; BECERRA, VIVIANA; CORREA, PILAR and DEL POZO, ALEJANDRO. Isozymatic diversity in accesions of Medicago polymorpha collected along an environmental gradient in Chile, and its relationship with other species of Medicago. Rev. chil. hist. nat. [online]. 2000, vol.73, n.3, pp.479-488. ISSN 0716-078X. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0716-078X2000000300011.
Medicago polymorpha is a naturalized species in Chile which presents great variability in agronomic traits such as flowering and reproductive phenology, seed production, seed hardness, and dry matter production, associated to a climatic gradient. The objectives of this work were to assess the isozymatic diversity in accessions of M. polymorpha and its relation with the phenotypic variability, and to establish possible genetic links with other species of Medicago. Forty one accessions of M. polymorpha obtained from a wide range of climatic and edaphic conditions, and 16 accessions of M. arabica, M. rotata, M. rigidula, M. tornata, M. littoralis and M. truncatula, were evaluated for 12 isozyme systems. The results showed a low isozymatic diversity within accessions of M. polymorpha, and a lack of association between geographical distribution and isozyme diversity. Multivariate analysis allowed to cluster the species separately. M. arabica, another naturalized species in Chile, was the closest species to M. polymorpha, whereas M. littoralis, M. rigidula and M. rotata presented a higher genetic distance from M. polymorpha.
Keywords : genetic diversity; Medicago polymorpha; annual medics; multivariate analysis.

Our October Membership Meeting was focused on the Market Report, what's happening in downtown St. Paul, and the multi-generational workforce.
Rob Davis went over the Market Report and what has changed between 2017 and 2018. He talked about the total universal square footage, occupancy/vacancy, trends, absorption, and rental rates. All this information is located here, on Datasource, under Annual Office Market Data. You can also find information on 2018 Retail, Residential, and Health Care Space information on this website as well.
Joe Spencer addressed what is happening in downtown St. Paul and the various projects currently going on. To see his presentation, click here.
Our main speaker, Erik Lucken, shared his analysis on the Multi-generational Workforce. He talked about how there were many misconceptions regarding the Millennial workforce. All generations actually have similarities about what they want out of working space. According to Lucken, you should create workplace that supports an ecosystem. He recommends that buildings and employers "…provide a variety of space types, sizes, configurations, and conditions within the context of the immediate environment, the floor, the workplace, and the building."

I hope that you all enjoyed modeling the historical B/S of Facebook. Today's training is simple and quick, it just contains the filled B/S of Facebook, so that you can check your efforts for the past days.
How do I create the model then??
Most of the stuff just needs to be hardcoded in the B/S template. Some numbers like total current assets can be derived by summing all the current assets.
Typically we would try to maintain a discipline hard coded numbers in blue, calculations in black.
So did you get it right?
I am sure if you tried hard, you would have got it right. If not, lets discuss the issues that you faced and start learning together!
Next Steps
Now that we have the, we move forward to know the BASE rule. Base rule is used to get the ending balance of say retained earnings by adding net income to and subtracting payout from the beginning balance. Tomorrow we would release the empty template for the same. In the meanwhile, why don't you try to use the base rule on your own? The data is with you in the S1 filing!

Hubba Bubba Glop Strawberry Gush
Flavor: Let me start out with a disclaimer: This gum is not intended for adults. Glop is a marketing strategy geared expressly toward children in all of its attributes– it's fun, it's teeth-hurtingly sweet, and there's nothing healthy about it. That said, the flavor is a super sugary strawberry, far too sweet for a mature palate but, I'd imagine, just right for young taste buds. It's filled with a sugar syrup (Glop) that dissolves almost immediately. The flavor subsides altogether soon after the glop dissipates, leaving the chewer longing for another shot of Glop.
Texture: This egg-shaped gum is unique compared to the ordinary over-the-counter package. The shiny outer shell crunches a lot like a gumball, but the soft inside stays true to Hubba Bubba classics. The glop could be more abundant, and it's nearly impossible to blow a bubble with it at any stage of chewing.
Overall: This gum is really more of a candy than a gum. The gum that remains after the initial crunch and glop explosion is hardly a gum at all, a stale old gumball. But for kids, I'm sure the neat packaging (a hard plastic tube that might be reused for something kids reuse plastic containers for) and the wild 'n crazy glop-ness of it are incredibly appealing. I, for one, would never have been allowed to eat it, but definitely would have saved up change to buy myself a pack now and again and eat it on the walk home from the corner store.
Rating: ooo (three gumballs)

Maldives withdraws from New Seven Wonders of Nature
Maldives Cabinet has today decided to withdraw the Maldives' nomination to the New Seven Wonders of Nature, citing the lack of a proper awarding criteria and the requirement to make a payment to proceed with the competition.
The President's Office said the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture presented a paper on the matter to the Cabinet meeting held on April 24, where members of the Cabinet formed a sub-committee to look into the matter.
The Office stressed that the Cabinet, in today's meeting, decided to withdraw from the New Seven Wonders of Nature after deliberating on the proposals made by the sub-committee.
The paper presented by the Tourism Ministry said that the organisers of the competition have been demanding the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC) to pay a large sum of money and another payment for a sponsorship package.
The Tourism Ministry noted that the competition, considered business wise, is conducted without a proper awarding criteria.
The decision was also based on the recommendations made in the discussions held with stakeholders of the Maldives tourism industry and other industries, the President's Office added.

Eleanor and Park
by: Rainbow Rowell
Should you read it?: Yes
Category: Young Adult
I read Attachments by Rainbow Rowell and loved it. I had heard a lot about this book in my Young Adult & Children's Literature grad school class, so I decided to give it a try. It actually took a while to get it in at the library because it is so popular right now. I was worried it wouldn't live up to the hype, but wow it really does. It's about a girl named Eleanor who starts at a new school and she is quiet and different and faces a tough time both at school and at home. She meets Park and they reluctantly strike up a friendship over common interests. It's just so well done. Even though some of the material is really sad, it still left me feeling positive. I cried at this one. It just really stuck with me in a good way.
Things I liked
I loved how they bond over comic books and music. And it takes place in 1986, so it's just got that fun kind of vibe to it.
I liked the fact that they again are both not your stereotypical leading characters. She has big red hair and a curvy body and he is part Korean and does martial arts. I thought they were adorable.
Things I didn't
Nobody enjoys reading about some of the stuff that she has going on at home, but at the same time, it was well done in a way that you get it, you feel it, but you're not dragged down by it. (That seems like such a weird thing to say when people really face those things in real life. I guess I just mean that as far as reading it for entertainment purposes, it's done appropriately.)
Overall: Sad, funny, adorable coming of age romance.
Book 29 of 50

Hello everyone, there sure isn't anything sweeter than a new baby. One of my closest friends just became a Great Grandmother for the first time and I wanted something special for the baby to celebrate her entrance into our world. I opted to use Echo Park's Sweet Baby Girl collection and it is that, just the sweetest bits of pink and teal and everything available to make whatever project you'd want. I also want to give a big shout out to my crafty friend Cheryl Wells who sent me a Country Craft Creations Gift Card at Christmas time. Yes, I know, I've been hoarding it, but I was so glad I had so I could purchase this fantastic collection. If you're ever on the fence about what to get another crafter you can't go wrong with a Gift Card!
I decided to make an accordion mini, one of the fastest and easiest around. You simply determine the height of your mini, mine is 6", determine the number of pages you're going to want, I choose 12 and then cut, score, adhere and fold.
My supplies all came from the Country Craft Creations store. I used white Artisan cardstock for my base. Since the sheets come 12" square I simply cut them in half creating 2 6"x12" strips and scored each strip in half at the 6" mark. I made hinges and attached three strips together creating six 6" spots on each side. Once attached it's just a matter of decorating with your favorite papers and folding the pages back on one another to create the accordion.
I primarily used the 6x6" pad from the collection but I did use the whole cut apart sheet that had the 12 months on them. These became the magnetized flaps for each folded section and will represent the baby's first year in photos and notes.
Side one shows the first six months and
Side two shows the rest of the year up to baby's first birthday.
Adding the magnetized flaps allows a small photo to be put on the back and numerous photos to be held loose between the magnets. Please join me on the video as we walk through the whole books process and completion. As I said this is a super simple idea any one can make for any occasion. Thanks so much for stopping by!
This video will show you how to construct the basic box to house a 6x6" mini
I've entered my mini into the Crafter's Castle Challenge, I don't normally enter challenges, I used to but have just gotten out of the habit but Janie gave me the head's up and I couldn't resist.
I got all of my supplies from Country Craft Creations,

Have you ever started watching a great TV show in the middle of a season and wished you could go back and watch the episodes you've missed? The library can help you catch up. The library has several great TV shows on DVD available to rent and watch at your convenience. Here's a list of some of the most popular titles:
1. DEXTER – Dexter Morgan works for the Miami Police Department as a Crime Scene Analyst. He also moonlights as a serial killer. The twist- he only kills those who are killers themselves. The library also has several of the Dexter novels written by Jeff Lindsay.
2. MONK – Brilliantly portrayed by Tony Shalhoub, Adrian Monk solves Crimes for the San Francisco Police Department. If you like the show, you might enjoy the books written by Lee Goldberg.
3. SOPRANOS – The classic HBO drama that put New Jersey on the map. The show revolves around Tony Soprano who struggling to keep his families together, a regular family and the other kind of "family" - the North Jersey Mob. The library has several "Soprano" related materials including the soundtrack cds, a Soprano Family Cookbook (641.5 RUC), and other Soprano books under the call number 791.45.
4. MAD MEN – This series has recently won most of the major awards for Best Drama. Taking place in the 1960's, the drama takes place in the offices of the Sterling Cooper Ad Agency on Madison Ave. To read more about the look of the series, check out these library books: The Fashion File-Inspirations from the costume designer of Mad Men (746.92 BRY) /The Unofficial Mad Men Cookbook-The bars and restaurants of Mad Men (642 GEL)/Mad Men Unbuttoned –A romp through 1960's America (791.45 VAR).
5. HOUSE – Another NJ based drama, the series centers on Dr. Gregory House. Dr. Gregory House is a medical genius with no bedside manner. Actor Hugh Laurie is also an excellent author as well as actor. Check out his novel, The Gunseller, available in our Fiction collection. Also read The House That House Built (792.02 CHA).
6. LOST – An incredible TV series, you will need to watch it from Episode 1 or You might get "Lost". At times, confusing and moving but always interesting And entertaining. The series revolves around a group of survivors of a plane crash, lost on a Pacific Island, all with a secret to tell. To help understand it all, check out Finding Lost –The Unofficial Guide (791.45 STA)
7. THE TUDORS – Not exactly the real story – Henry VIII really didn't look Anything like Jonathan Rhys-Meyers but fun to watch nonetheless. Great acting by a great cast might make you want to check out these titles-The Tudors, Thy Will Be Done by Elizabeth Massie (F MASSIE) /The Wives of Henry VII by Antonia Fraser (942.052 FRA) and The Tudors –The Complete Story of England's Most Notorious Dynasty (942.05 MEY)
8. TRUE BLOOD – Based on the popular Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris (M Harris), the new series details the lives of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, LA.
9. THE OFFICE (U.K.) & THE OFFICE (U.S.) – One of rare instances where a Remake of a series is as good and as popular as the original. Watch both and compare the two shows.
10. MODERN FAMILY – One of our most recent DVD purchases, This laugh Out loud comedy centers around The Pritchett Family.
This is just a small sampling of our fantastic DVD collection. If you have any questions or requests, please visit our librarians at the information desk. Send comments to: Amy.

10. Feast Day of Fools by James Lee Burke - Burke makes beautiful observations about the folly and stupidity of warfare, and the fallible nature of human beings in this excellent story.
9. Wyatt by Garry Discher - Like Richard Stark's great American anti-hero, Parker, Wyatt is a cold and calculating thief, looking for ways to ply his trade in an increasingly digital world.
8. The Sentry by Robert Crais - Crais keeps the action moving briskly and the complex storyline is logical and compelling. This longstanding series continues to produce interesting stories, flipping the perspective between Pike and Cole keeps things fresh and the Southern California setting is always alluring.
7. Devil Red Joe R. Lansdale - In this story, Hap and Leonard are helping a former cop friend of theirs who has recently started a detective agency. When a series of murders is committed that appears to be attributed to a vampire cult, Hap and Leonard investigate and stumble into much more than they bargain for.
6. Headstone by Ken Bruen - This was a fantastic novel in one of the best series going in contemporary crime fiction. Jack Taylor is such a compelling character, that whatever happens, you can't stop rooting for him and be simultaneously repulsed and fascinated by his deeds.
5. Rule 34 by Charles Stross - Charles Stross, one of the premier science fiction authors in the genre ties all of these threads and many more involving rouge artificial intelligence, international criminal syndicates, smuggling, human greed, culpability, and the unceasing march of technological progress.
4. The Gentlemen's Hour by Don Winslow - This is another excellent Winslow adventure, a sequel to The Dawn Patrol (although reading that book first is not necessary.) The protagonist is a very appealing character, someone we really we really want to root for to win against all odds.
3. You'd Better Watch Out by Tom Piccrilli - When a nameless young man witnesses his mother being murdered on Christmas Day by his crooked cop father, he vows one day to have revenge.
2. The Killer Is Dying by James Sallis - While James Sallis ostensibly writes crime novels, the crime itself becomes almost incidental to the haunted and melancholy lives of the characters he composes.
1. Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead by Sara Gran - Claire is about as far from Nancy Drew and Stephanie Plum as you can get, but if you are looking for a gritty and well written crime novel, this is one of the year's finest.

Egged on by one of my favorite authors, Ken Bruen, to take a break from the world of young adult literature and enter the world of adult crime fiction, the author of the popular Artemis Fowl series of teen adventures turns to the seedy underbelly of New Jersey for this darkly funny tale of mobsters, murder and redemption. Daniel McEvoy mustered out of the Irish army after a couple of peacekeeping tours of Lebanon under his belt and is looking for a fresh start. Emigrating to America he finds the only jobs he can get are as bouncers at nightclubs, ending up at a sleazy New Jersey strip club. When one one of his favorite hostesses is harassed and then murdered, and his best friend is kidnapped, McEvoy is unwittingly plunged into his toughest mission since his military days. On the run from the mob, listening to a ghost of his missing friend and caught between two bloodthirsty cops, it will take all of Daniel's skills just to survive. This was a well written and frequently quite funny book: think Donald Westlake crossed with Alan Guthrie. Quite a bit of violence, so the squeamish might want to let this one pass by. But for fans of hard-boiled crime fiction with a touch of mordant humor, this is definitely a book to look out for. Plugged

The venerable fantasy series Discworld has many sub-plots among its nearly forty books, but my favorite involve the city watch commander Sam Vimes and his ever present search for law and order. Asked to finally take a vacation on his wife's country estate, Vimes is bored stiff in the sticks, and soon begins to sniff around in search of wrongs to right. He doesn't have to look far. After the local blacksmith Vimes quarreled with goes missing and he is nearly arrested by the clueless local constabulary, Vimes is heralded by local goblin leaders looking for "just ice," justice that is for a goblin woman found murdered and eviscerated while others were shipped off to slavery in the dead of night. Vimes attacks the crime with his usual vigor, making for a very entertaining story. As with much of Pratchett's work, the story is rife with thinly veiled social commentary, about the nature of good and evil, rich and poor and especially about the outcasts of society and how they are often mistreated. He can be a little preachy at times, with characters getting long grandstanding speeches, but the world and the memorable characters that he has created over the course of thirty plus years of storytelling win the day with a very entertaining book for fantasy fans, and open minded fans of police procedural that don't mind the satirical fantasy setting.

Buck Carlsbad is a private investigator, traveling the country taking jobs and pulling marks. Sounds pretty innocuous, right? Until you learn that Buck has a special gift, and that pulling marks means capturing wayward ghosts and poltergeists. Buck is scarred by thoughts a desolate stretch of Nevada where the ghosts of several notorious killers lie and where his parents themselves were killed. He tried to go there once before and was nearly killed himself by what lies in wait there. When he learns of plans to build a high-speed rail line that will connect Los Angeles and Las Vegas, traveling right through the paranormal "triangle" in the desert, and he receives a mysterious invitation to ride the inaugural journey, he knows that there is trouble brewing. As Buck rides the high-speed train and the ghosts come out of the woodwork, he's in a life or death struggle, where everything is on the line. This book is an interesting horror-thriller, and it moves seamlessly despite being a collaboration between three different writers. There is a considerable amount of graphic violence on par with some movies (the writers wrote the screenplays for the Saw franchise if that gives you any idea) but if you are a fan of supernatural horror, you should definitely check Black Light out.

Everyone growing up wants to believe that there is a fantasy world where they can escape to; a place where there are magical creatures and where Kings and Queens rule. Quentin is an everyday teenager from Brooklyn, New York who believes that magic is real. When he accidentally steps between the real world and the magical world, he ends up at a school called Brakebills, where he is accepted in as a student of magic. As he learns spells, new friendships are formed and Quentin's dreams finally come true when Quentin and his friends reach the magical world of Fillory; a magical land they all dreamed was real. Along the way they find out the real back story to the Fillory novels, and the danger that lurks behind each corner. Taking inspiration from Harry Potter and the Chronicles of Narnia, The Magicians is a tale about friendship, and the magic and adventure they all encounter together. This is a fantastic read for anyone who loves the Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia series as you will be able to pick up on the influences quickly. The reading is fast and there is a lot of action and a little romance. This is the first book in the trilogy written by Lev Grossman.

Madison Spencer is the chubby, precocious daughter of a pair of wildly narcissistic movie stars condemned to Hell for dying of a drug overdose. In this wicked satire of the afterlife, adult greed and teen drama, Madison finds out that Hell is often like the infamous teenage movie The Breakfast Club, as she joins forces with teen stereotypes: the jock, the rebel and the diva, in order to make her way through the afterlife. Starting every chapter with a snarky jab at Judy Blune's teen fiction nugget Are You There God, It's Me Margaret, Madison describes her time in Hell, working in the Satanic call center where telephone solicitations are placed to the living during the dinner hour asking inane questions about consumer products. Madison also recounts her brief life with her super wealthy and self-absorbed parents, a brutal send-up of the celebrity worship culture we live in in America today. As Madison travels through hell, she meets historical figures of the past, from the expected like Adolf Hitler to the unusual like Charles Darwin. Slowly Madison begins to change, and the quiet and servile child grows more brazen and literally discovers her true self... in Hell. This was a well done satire, and one of Palahniuk's more successful books. The narrative is a little choppy and underdeveloped at times (possibly over-edited do to the potential controversial subject matter) but he makes his characters convincing and believable, and the satire and in-jokes are quite amusing. While certainly not for everybody, any open minded reader looking for a sharply worded satire should enjoy this book.

Carol Barbieri, a writer, singer/songwriter and adoption-reform advocate, will offer a presentation titled "Mugshots on the Mantel" 7 p.m. Nov. 10 at the Old Bridge Public Library Main Branch, Route 516 and Cottrell Road.
Barbieri will offer her own adoption-reunion story. Prompted by her son's diagnosis with a life-threatening heart condition, she began a search for her birth family and uncovered many secrets including her birthmother's suicide, the family's criminal past and the fact that she was living in the same town as the twin sister from whom she had been separated at birth. A musical performance of Barbieri's adoption song, "Your Secret's Safe With Me," will follow the lecture.

A grandfather's trips with his grandchildren to baseball parks around the country is the backdrop for the light-hearted but instructional telling of stories about some stellar baseball players. These stars also provided off-the-field examples for young people to follow in the way they lived their lives. The kids learn why these men are part of baseball lore and why they should be remembered as more than ballplayers. Courage, charity and concern for others pop up in the lives of all of these men who, except for one, are in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. And, as Grandpa says, "He could have been."About the Author
R. K. Vaughan, born in New York City, has been writing professionally for more than 40 years, including newspaper articles, CEO speeches and television commercials, as well as op-ed opinion essays that appeared in The New York Times and other publications. He also edited several cultural books and wrote a centennial history of Mobil Oil Corporation's operations in Indonesia. "Some Were Giants," is his third book since retirement. The others are a book of short stories titled "Yorkville Christmas and a novel, "And All Their Songs Are Sad." He and his wife, Joan, have four children and 15 grandchildren.

Are you really sure that you want to leave your current promising job? Can't you let all convenience go without regret? The prestige job, comfortable office, efficient secretary, and mouthwatering monthly salary are everything you have to let go if you decide to start your own business. Of course, beginning your personal business demands you more sacrifices, so you should ask yourself whether or not you ready for this.
Actually, starting new business is not the only obstacle you have to face, when you are about to leave your current job, you will have to provide good reason you must say to your boss or you must explain as you write it down in your official resignation letter. However, if your mind is already set, then you should know what you have to do as an entrepreneur.
The primary thing you should keep in mind is related to the entrepreneur itself. Seeking the gap in the market and take something which is less in there is the first thing you should accomplish. To fill the gap is your target it means that you are starting business which is different from others. Surely, you have to learn more by making research of why people in market nearby are success.
The main principles in running business include the success of the business, work with strong principle, find the gap, and fill the gap. You learn that to find distinguished product or service and bring it to the mainstream market can be very profitable. So, to make everything clearer, there are some important points you must be aware of. First, you can develop something you have already known, like building up your skills you get from previous job.
Secondly, try to dig something from something you like, such as your hobby because it may be another part in your life where you can have natural sense over it. The third one, try to take a stroll around your neighborhood and see carefully the kind of business that can be very potential by seeking what is already there and what is less in there.
After you have positive plan to build particular business, you should remember some vital things such as hard work, focus, and manage the time thoughtfully.

1 Introduction
Policy makers, researchers, healthcare professionals and many others are daily facing the challenge of how to prioritise their activities and actions in different areas of their responsibilities. In the health area, their decisions are often influenced by the reality of the needs of an aging population on the one hand and restricted resources on the other. They can only make as good informed decisions as the quality and availability of data they use in the process.
Patient registries, which were designed for patients with sharing characteristics (diagnosis, implanted device, therapy, risk of developing a disease), have for decades served as an important source of the data needed to assess clinical performance, provide health technology assessment or assess policy implications on a local, regional, national and in some cases international level. As a result, hundreds of registries have been set up, ranging from paper based spreadsheets in a physician's office to international rare disease initiatives coupling clinical and genetic data as well as bio-banks. In the last fifteen years information technology has given us an opportunity to greatly redesign the way we make informed decisions about individual patients as well as entire populations by, among other things, enabling clinicians to collect, share, compare and analyse large amounts of patient data.
Where we still fall short is in harnessing information and new knowledge from the wealth of data across registries – be it from one country to another or between/across registries with overlapping characteristics or patient pools. Researchers, HTA organisations and policy creators are wasting valuable time acquiring data from different sources and painstakingly pairing it in order to extract new knowledge. Also, setting up a new patient registry sets the holder on a high risk journey where a number of decisions need to be made about methodologies, processes, technologies and governance of the registry with little available guidance.
To provide guidance and tools on an EU level to solve the above issues is likely to be the largest near-term opportunity towards data and information driven public health decision making, policy creation and research.
The PARENT JA team is proud to present the Guidelines, which were created to provide practical and 'hands on' advice to set up and manage patient registries as well as to enable secondary use of data for public health policy and research. We hope the Guidelines will make life easier for those setting up new registries or redesigning already functioning registries and those exchanging data across registries.
Getting to this point has been a challenging journey but we have made it. It is a result of the commitment and passion of a number of experts from across the EU as well as continuous support from numerous EU bodies and projects, and the US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality – all of whom generously contributed their knowledge and insights into the topic.
While the Guidelines are a first step towards greater interoperability of patient registries, a number of exciting and complex challenges still lie ahead, requiring continuous efforts to ensure that we utilise the full value of patient registries.
May the Guidelines serve you well.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A United Airlines pilot is accused of sex harassment for allegedly posting explicit photos of a female United flight attendant on the Internet, and the airline did nothing to stop it, according to a lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in San Antonio, says the airline "violated federal law by subjecting a female flight attendant to a hostile work environment of sexual harassment over a multi-year period," according to an EEOC news release.
According to the lawsuit, the United pilot frequently posted sexually explicit images of the flight attendant to various websites, making reference to the flight attendant's name, home airport, and sometimes referencing the airline's tagline "Fly the Friendly Skies." The lawsuit alleges that the posts were seen by co-workers and adversely affected the flight attendant's working environment.
In September, 2016, the pilot, 62-year-old Mark Joseph Uhlenbrock of Chesterfield, Missouri, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to internet stalking.
"Uhlenbrock admitted that from the end of their romantic relationship in January 2006 to August 2015, he caused substantial emotional distress to his female victim by posting nude photographs of her on the Internet," according to a statement at the time from the U.S. attorney's office in the Western District of Texas.
The EEOC says the airline failed to prevent and correct the pilot's behavior, even after the flight attendant made numerous complaints.
The conduct would violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination based on sex, including sexual harassment, the EEOC said.
The lawsuit is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages for the flight attendant. The EEOC also is seeking a permanent injunction to prevent the company from engaging in any further gender-discriminatory practices.
"Employers have an obligation to take steps to stop sexual harassment in the workplace when they learn it is occurring through cyber-bullying via the internet and social media," said Philip Moss, a trial attorney in the EEOC's San Antonio Field Office. "When employers fail to take action, they fail their workers and enable the harassment to continue."
CBS Chicago is reaching out to United for comment.

California Water Library
Maven's Notebook is about to launch its most ambitious initiative since its founding in 2013, and your help is needed to make it a success.
In a few weeks, the California Water Library will launch online, offering the water industry, elected officials and anyone who is interested a well-curated library of key resources about California water. The California Water Library will chart new online territory in its aim to create a "reservoir" of documents, images and maps related to California water, collected directly from the most authoritative sources.
There are still opportunities to become one of the library's founding sponsors. With your sponsorship, you and your organization will receive recognition of your support of a one-of-a-kind resource for the water community, students and members of the public.
In addition:
- Sponsors donating $1,000 or more will have their organization's names included in the press release and will be receive permanent recognition as a founding sponsor on the library website.
- Sponsors donating $5000 or more will have their logos placed on the front page for six months after launch.
- All sponsoring organizations will receive a one-year organizational membership that will unlock special features of the website reserved for donors and sponsors
Most importantly, your sponsorship is key to ensuring that access to the California Water Library remains free for all.
As you know, finding information on water issues can be difficult and time-consuming. Valuable reports and information are scattered around the internet and not always easy to find unless you know where to look. By electronically harvesting and collecting thousands of reports, articles, white papers and more into one database, we are making access to these important documents easy and free for everyone in the community.
You can learn more about the library by downloading this fact sheet.
The California Water Library is tentatively set to launch in early October. The water library will be promoted through social media and other channels, as well as through Maven's Notebook, as well as other channels. Promotion of the Water Library and its sponsors will be featured through the Maven's Notebook website.
Become a founding sponsor of the California Water Library, and help build this truly one-of-a-kind web-based resource for the water community, students and members of the public to expand their knowledge of water issues in the state.
