MYP Media Design Technology
In an era of debates about "Fake News" and data privacy, in which content can go viral and reach a million eyes in only a few hours, the power of digital media is unquestionable. The MYP Media Design Technology program at M'KIS teaches students how to navigate the constant stream of information in our digital lives and to harness the power of digital resources to create and communicate ideas in engaging and impactful ways.
The M'KIS Media Design Technology program is built around three core components: digital citizenship, media literacy, and media design. The digital citizenship element helps students to learn how to participate in online communities in safe and positive ways. The media literacy component teaches students skills to access, critically evaluate, and create digital media. Finally, the media design element of the program engages students in creating integrated media including audio, video, text, and images, to communicate their ideas and opinions. This is structured in the MYP Design Cycle framework that promotes inquiry, analysis, and problem-solving; key 21st century skills.
At M'KIS, our MYP Media Design Technology program provides students with all of the skills and competencies they need to understand, communicate, and take action as empowered 21st century global digital citizens and provides foundational knowledge in digital media creation for students seeking to pursue further studies and careers in this growing creative field.

Military.com's Passdown recently featured an article by Vice Admiral Norb Ryan, the President of the Military Officers Association of America. In his article, titled Wounded Need a War on Leadership Complacency, Ryan shares his insights on what our nation's wounded warriors and their families need -- assertive leaders that will make a real commitment to help wounded warriors and their families heal and reintegrate.
Ryan's article covers the testimony of wounded warriors, family members, and surgeons given during the MOAA/NDIA hosted September 13 Warrior Family Symposium, in which it became clear that the actions taken over the last decade fall far short of the mark.
Ryan writes, "We don't need more rhetoric and finger-pointing. We need executive and legislative branch leaders to make eight specific commitments to get care quickly to those in need."
Read Admiral Ryan's article, Wounded Need a War on Leadership Complacency on Military.com's Passdown Op-Ed to learn more about the eight committments needed to help heal those who have sacrificed so much.

Managing a blog is a lot of fun. Experimenting with plugins, themes, checking comments etc. are not bad but take a lot of time. In this post, I will discuss how you can save time spent on administrative tasks. Yes, let us see 4 Quick Time Saving Tips for Bloggers.
4 Quick Time Saving Tips for Bloggers
Write A FAQ Page
If you get asked by some things repeatedly, it is best to make a FAQ page especially for these. For example, one thing I have been asked again and again is the plugin that we use to display commentator's latest post. So, I built a FAQ page and also a credits page to give all the plugin authors credit that works hard to develop quality plugins for free.
Tell That You Can't Reply To Every Mail
It is hard to reply to every mail you get. If you find yourself more busy with things like replying to emails, mention on contact form that you can't reply to every mail and ensure that their mail will be read.
Check: 10 Things They Don't Teach You About Productivity
Embed Subscription Forms In Your Posts
Adding code every time to a post can take a lot of time but then, subscription forms are also important to get readers. So, take some time and either add a plugin to add forms automatically after every post or just add it inside theme!
Find The "Real" Core Activities
Finding activities that really work can take some time but it will surely be worth the time.
There's a big difference between "real" and normal core activities. For example, a core activity is "writing content" while a "real" core activity is to write the content that works for your blog. If list posts are liked more by your readers, it is best to spend time on writing list posts than tutorials.

Donald Trump questions utility of US recognizing One China policy, hoping to leverage issue to negotiate trade with China
Donald Trump interview on Fox News Sunday December 11, 2016
United States President-Elect Donald Trump expressed a willingness to disregard the People's Republic of China's "One China" policy with regard to Taiwan, which calls itself the Republic of China.
"I fully understand the 'one China' policy, but I don't know why we have to be bound by a 'one China' policy unless we make a deal with China having to do with other things, including trade," Trump told "Fox News Sunday," a Sunday morning news program in the United States.
These comments come on the heels of a controversy in which President-elect Donald Trump contacted the President of Taiwan, the first time a sitting US President has done so in 27 years. While Taiwan and the United States maintain close informal ties, the United States official foreign policy stance is to agree with Beijing that Taiwan is part of China and not an independent nation. President-elect Trump also said during the course of the interview that he would not hesitate to antagonize the PRC until it severs ties with North Korea and comes to negotiate "more favorable" trade agreements with the United States.
"I mean, look, we're being hurt very badly by China with devaluation, with taxing us heavy at the borders when we don't tax them, with building a massive fortress in the middle of the South China Sea, which they shouldn't be doing, and frankly with not helping us at all with North Korea. You have North Korea. You have nuclear weapons, and China could solve that problem, and they're not helping us at all," Trump said. "So, I don't want China dictating to me and this was a call put into me. I didn't make the call, and it was a call, very short call saying 'congratulations, sir, on the victory.' It was a very nice call. Short. And why should some other nation be able to say I can't take a call. I think it actually would've been very disrespectful, to be honest with you, not taking it."

Alexander, Corker back bill to boost background checks
President Trump reportedly polled members of his Mar-a-Lago Clubhouse as to whether he should consider gun control. Nathan Rousseau Smith has the story. Buzz60
WASHINGTON – Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker are among nearly three dozen co-sponsors of Senate legislation that would strengthen background checks for gun buyers, a move that seems to be gaining traction after last week's mass shooting at a South Florida high school that killed 17 people.
"We need to make existing background checks more effective," Alexander, R-Tenn., said in a statement Monday.
Several of the Florida high school shooting survivors say they will not go back to school until Congress takes action by passing new gun legislation. Buzz60
The legislation would help ensure "that federal agencies and states get information about individuals who should be prohibited from buying a gun into the national background check system," he said.
The bill provides financial incentives to states and federal agencies to work harder to comply with laws requiring them to report criminal and mental health records to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS.
► More: Exclusive: Feds issue 4,000 orders to seize guns from people who failed background checks
Gun sellers are required, in most circumstances, to run the names of would-be gun buyers through the NICS system to ensure they are not barred from purchasing firearms. The legislation, called the Fix NICS Act, is designed to make the system work more effectively.
"I have long supported improving how our background check system operates, while at the same time ensuring that Second Amendment rights are not infringed upon," said Corker, R-Tenn. "The Fix NICS Act meets that test, and I am proud to be a cosponsor of this piece of legislation.
"It is very important that federal agencies and state governments take the time to comply with existing federal law and submit the relevant information to NICS in order to ensure that those who have lost their right to possess a firearm are prohibited from purchasing one."
Dozens of students and parents from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School convened at a park near the Parkland school. The crowd held signs calling for stricter gun control laws and called out politicians for accepting money from the NRA. (Feb. 18) AP
The Senate's No. 2 Republican, John Cornyn of Texas, introduced the legislation last November after a mass shooting left 26 people dead at a church in Sutherland Springs, Texas. The shooter had been allowed to buy guns despite having a criminal record because the Air Force failed to share his records with the FBI.
The Senate has yet to act on the bill, even though it is co-sponsored by 17 Republicans, 17 Democrats and Independent Angus King of Maine.
But momentum seems to be growing in light of last week's school shooting in Florida.
► More: Trump open to changing gun background check system, aide says
► More: Florida shooting puts gun control pressure on Trump
Some Republican leaders, including Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma, Rep. Carlos Curbelo of Florida and Gov. John Kasich of Ohio, called in separate interviews on Sunday for Congress to stop making empty promises and act.
Also, the White House signaled Monday that President Donald Trump was open to the legislation. Trump spoke with Cornyn about the bill on Friday and "is supportive of efforts to improve the federal background check system," White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said in a statement.

Focused planning
Work Smarter, Not Harder
Clarity, balance, and focus are necessary to achieve success.
Immediately after you've jumped out of an airplane at 14,000 feet, panic isn't an option. To struggle, to panic, to waste effort equals catastrophe. The same principle applies in business and in life—keeping your cool and maintaining focus are the keys to success, says Rich Fettke, author of Extreme Success: The 7-Part Program that Shows You How to Succeed Without Struggle (Fireside, 2002; $13.00) The author, a professional coach, former competitive bodybuilder, and extreme sports enthusiast, advocates taking a step back to reassess your goals, clarify your plan, and determine how to achieve your objectives without unbalancing other areas of your life. He draws on his clients' histories and his own extreme sporting adventures (such as mountain climbing, skydiving, and bungee jumping) to illustrate lessons about setting goals, forming partnerships, and balancing your personal and professional lives. The book outlines these and other basic problems, proposes solutions, and assigns several homework problems to help you apply what you've learned.
The book argues that struggling through longer hours not only doesn't guarantee success, it can actually prevent it from happening. This may seem counterintuitive, particularly for real estate professionals, whose incomes are directly tied to their efforts. After all, you work harder, you earn more money and greater respect—how can that be a bad thing? This thinking represents what Fettke dubs the "Struggle Syndrome," a counterproductive belief that the harder you work, the better a person that you'll be. But unfocused effort is wasted effort, he says. He quotes Vince Lombardi, who once observed that "Just because you're doing something wrong, doing it more intensely isn't going to help." Success springs from the following principles: focusing on what's important and eliminating or delegating the rest, using time effectively, and maintaining balance between the personal and the professional.
"Part 4: Watch Where You're Going" offers advice on focusing your efforts by setting both long- and short-range goals. Some of this advice veers toward the "touchy-feely." For instance, he suggests visualizing a meeting with your ideal future self, then writing down observations what this exercise reveals about your desired personal and professional direction. Other advice is more practical, such as "The Rule of Three." This technique suggests that you focus on no more than three major projects at any given time to prevent information overload.
Going it alone when you could benefit from others' help represents another source of wasted effort, says Fettke. "Part III: Don't Climb Alone" stresses the importance of working with others to achieve your goals. Many real estate professionals are reluctant to delegate authority, but spending a large portion of your day on non-core tasks might not represent the most efficient use of your time.
The author also advocates forming a "success partnership" to keep you on track toward meeting your goals. Basically, you and your partner, perhaps another salesperson from your office, create a mutual support system, pushing each other not to fall behind and sharing in one another's accomplishments. This relationship sets up a form of accountability—if you fail at meeting your stated personal or professional objectives, then you're not just letting yourself down, you're letting your partner down as well.
If you're making big sales, but find yourself wishing that you could spend more time with your family, you might need to redefine success. The idea of balance is a reoccurring theme throughout the book. In "Part I: Stop Struggling," the author advises drawing a "Life Balance Wheel" that maps out your satisfaction with the following areas: spiritual, career, finances, possessions, health, fun, professional development, friends, and romance. First, you draw a circle, then you slice it up into equal pieces, with each area representing a slice. Then, you assign each one a rating on a scale of one to ten and fill in the slice correspondingly, based on your level of satisfaction with this part of your life. A rating of ten would fill an entire triangle, while a rating of one would take up only a bit of it. From this simple exercise, you can see which areas of life need adjustment. He dismisses the idea that balance means compromising your professional effectiveness. Rather, he argues, when you improve your satisfaction with one area of your life, it spreads to all areas of your life. If you are unsatisfied with your life, then you aren't a success, no matter how many sales you make, contends Fettke.
Ultimately, Extreme Success follows the same theme as many self-improvement titles, assuring readers that the power to change their lives is in their hands. However, it differs from many competitors in arguing that working harder alone is not enough. Every real estate office has at least one workaholic who wears his or her frantic schedules like badges of honor. Maybe it's you. But the number of hours that you work is less important than whether you achieve your goals and enjoy what you're doing. In the end, struggling through a workweek and struggling through freefall aren't that different—either way you risk losing out on having a life if you can't get your act together.

I love volcanoes! In fact, all three of the books I've written have a volcanologist (volcano geologist) in there somewhere. What draws me to them? It must be the primordial earth-generating thing or maybe it's a danger thing. Aren't we all attracted to the extreme places on our planet? Or maybe it's just me.
Now, I can add one more dangerous thing about volcanoes to my list (as if gigantic explosions and fast flowing molten rock weren't enough).
Volcanic lightning, or 'dirty thunderstorms', occur during powerful eruptions when ash and dust are ejected into the air in a great cloud. These particles carry strong electrical charges, which generate enormous lightning bolts that flash through the churning ash clouds.
I believe this picture is computer generated, but the actual pictures of volcanic lightning are just as spectacular. To see some, click here.

British feudalism and Anglo-Saxon political economy
This is Bischoff commenting on an article by Bill Bonner at the Daily Bell.
The Daily Bell - How Government 'Works'
BONNER: "Adam Smith thought the arm attached to the "invisible hand" was the arm of God.
BISCHOFF: Adam Smith was correct, if you equate "natural law" with "God" and you define "natural law" as that which works as brought about by nature.
BONNER: "... kings had a special role to play, that they were appointed... and anointed, by God (through his ministers in the church of St. Peter)... to rule."
BISCHOFF: Bill's explanation requires a broader perspective. Once humanoids passed the hunting and gathering stage of economic existence, and humans achieved surpluses through animal husbandry and agriculture by requiring other humans to expend energy in the process of those activities as an alternative to becoming food for the other humans, then the requirement for government arose.
Government must be looked upon as a necessity to require the check of detrimental human instincts for the survival of the species. On the other hand, government has been an instrument of force exercised by some humans to benefit from the "labor" of other humans, i.e. a force to protect the indulgence in detrimental human instincts which is the purpose of government to prevent. It was not until the time of the "Enlightenment" that this became clear to people at large. Much of the thinking of the scholars of the Enlightenment was based on thinking evolved from the Mesopotamian civilization, through Greece and Rome, through the Protestant Reformation until the implementation of the enlightenment thinking found its expression in the original U.S. Constitution.
Political economy is society organized to make possible the survival and procreation of families and other groups. The first well developed political economic system was "Slavery". It placed the primary emphasis on "Labor" as one of the three factors of production. This system found its end with the demise of Rome.
The Church of Rome (Church of St. Peter) inherited what was left of the Roman Empire. To teach the doctrine of Jesus Christ, it made common cause with regional rulers by sanctioning the "divine right of rulers" to govern over certain lands. This put the rulers in the position of having to provide for the physical survival of the population, but also using them as serfs to extract labor, while the Church of Rome reserved the right to look after the "spiritual" wellbeing of the population. With this arrangement of the Church of Rome and the rulers over lands on the European Continent, "Feudalism" as a political economic system was born by making "Land" the primary factor of production.
With the Angles, Saxons, Friesens and Jutes fleeing feudalism on the Continent for the English Isles, the political economy set up by the Anglo-Saxons in England was the complete opposite of the feudal system. This system was seriously damaged by the invasion of the Normans and the victory at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
The original American settlers are descendants of the Anglo-Saxons. The settlers of the Southern colonies are largely stock of impoverished British aristocracy which came to North America via the West Indies. They tried to import Englishmen as indentured servants to propagate feudalism in the New World. When this failed, their agents in England hit on the idea of "black slavery".
Thus, the battle between British feudalism and Anglo-Saxon political economy was transferred to the North American colonies. This time the Anglo-Saxons won at the Battle of Yorktown.
The U.S. Constitution by divine providence is a document which enshrines Anglo-Saxon political economy. However, this does not mean that the battle between the feudal thinking of a part of our society and the attempt to apply the Anglo-Saxon principles enshrine in the U.S. Constitution isn't as fierce as it was a thousand years ago.

What you are about to read has taken more than 25 years to formulate in my Spirit. Unlike many "local yokels" who think they and/or their denomination have scripture and the will of God all figured out, I have learned that scriptural understanding is an ongoing and never ending process. I am ready to give an account to the Lord for what I am about to share with you today. And I know we all will have to face Him someday for what we teach.
Words have meaning and consequences. In this changing culture every word needs to be measured and some words need to get back to their original definitions. As you read this, my faith is not in my ability to express myself with the written word but in God the Holy Spirit who is the interpreter of everything. So let's begin.
Looking back at the church of the first century, we discover that:
- Christianity was a daily lifestyle.
There was an understanding of only one church per city/region/world.
There were many local groups or gatherings. Five-fold leadership was known and respected.
Gatherings moved from house to house or wherever the disciples met.
Apostles & prophets modeled the Christ-life for disciples to emulate.
Elders were appointed in every local gathering in the city/region by apostles.
The post-ascension Apostles were also elders in their communities.
Apostles and elders heard from all and the Spirit carried out Christ's government in His church.
Elders functioned in plurality under the delegated authority of the Lord Jesus.
Those who ruled (administration, oversight, stewardship) well were worthy of double honor.
These were overseers (bishops) who ministered and served regionally.
They received the voluntary obedience and submission of the saints as unto the Lord because of their maturity, example and testimony not because of office, position or title.
Elders were under-shepherds of the Chief Shepherd, the Lord Jesus.
Christians met together daily with no set schedule because they loved one another not once a week to get their blessing.
The majority of the finances went to the poor, widows and the fatherless.
While an individual elder may have provided oversight of an individual fellowship within a city, he did so in relationship with and in cooperation to the larger body of elders in that city or region. There were no mutually independent fellowships of the larger church. The church in each city or region was constituted as one body and functioned with many expressions. When it failed to do so, correction was brought (I Corinthians 3:3-17).
I am sure I have left out something in these short 14 points but I am open for assistance and clarification.
Looking at the present-day church, we discover that:
- Christianity has largely become a weekly ritualistic observance.
There are many denominational and independent churches (divisions) in a city or region.
People call a building "the Church". People say "they are going to church."
We have substituted the church in a city or region for local fellowships that function from two basic misconceived forms of governance:
- a.In one we have the idea of an autonomous (self-ruled) local church with little or no connection to the church in the city or region.
- b.In the other we have the idea of denominational rule, which segregates us based upon denominational understanding of things like doctrine, rules of governance, and sacraments, etc.
Too often decisions for the body are made either congregationally (democratic vote), or by those "in positions of authority or power."
While most would declare these decisions are bathed in prayer, in actual practice, decisions are often made and then prayer is made for the decision to be supported by God and accepted by the governed. And all of this is often without regard to the impact on the rest of the body of Christ in the city or region.
Deacons, who are scripturally called to serve tables and minister to the saints, now serve on boards and make decisions.
The word "elders" (plural) has been exchanged in the modern local gathering for the word "pastor" (singular) with a totally different meaning.
The word "pastor" is supposed to be a shepherding gift for all. Now it's used as a title for the one in charge.
Congregations and/or denominations now hire their pastors.
- a.This places the pastor in an untenable situation as the main or major leader of the local gathering. As one who is paid by the people one leads, the situation will arise requiring the leader to choose between obeying God or submitting to the people who pay one's salary. This is inevitable.
- b.The pastor also faces the fact that pastoral salary is tied to the pastor's ability to build and keep a large congregation. Here I reflect on Jesus' words In Matthew 16:18 where He said, "I (He) will build my (His) church."
Pastors are, in many situations, much like CEO's who, along with hired staff run the local church.
Pastors often function individually and independently and are considered the "heads" of their flocks.
Pastors can and often do become hirelings who sell their resume. They are often only accountable to their own choices about where and how long to serve a local church.
Boards constitute the ruling government of the church on paper while most have no real day to day authority over the pastor or denominational leaders.
There is more attention placed on getting the "right" doctrine than living and modeling the "Christ-life".
The majority of the finances go to pay for buildings, salaries of professional paid clergy and their staff
While there are many elders with a pastoral gift who are truly called by God as genuine under-shepherds and overseers, the contemporary religious systems and traditions minimize their effectiveness. This is particularly true when it comes to fulfilling the purpose of God to bring His government and glory to the earth realm. Today value and success are determined by numbers – how many, how much and how big. These were values unknown to New Testament believers and were never used to judge worth, honor and maturity in a leader.
Now What?
Can we go back to the way things were originally done? Well, let me ask you. Can you, as a leader, separate money, values, human measurement and power from the equation? I believe the ball is in our court and yes; the mess begins at the top. Now the next question we need to answer is, "Do weak pulpits make for weak pews?" Well, if you are a New Testament believer you don't have a problem with that question because there were neither pews nor pulpits in the New Testament Church!
I pray you have heard what the Spirit has been saying thus far. But now I pray you can hear what I'm about to say. The church as we know it, must take a major portion of the responsibility for that which is wrong in our country and in our world. The problems we face around the globe can be directly tied to the condition of His Church! The only permanent and lasting solution we have available to us will come only when His Church becomes what she was designed to be. We – the church – are called to love God, love one another and make disciples. It's time we quit hiding out in prayer rooms or going to another conference for deep revelation. We must move outside the four walls of buildings to affect change in the people around us and in the world.
Here are some final questions, maybe for another article or maybe they await your input.
What is the alternative and how do we relate to folks who embody or participate in or with those values we despise and that are clearly unbiblical and opposed to the kingdom? How does love prevail?
It might be that there are no steps, because the situation is terminal and unredeemable, if so, how do we exist in the tension during the season of migration in between where we are to where we need to be?
The church can physically leave the buildings and refuse to participate in the systems of men but are these things fused to our Spirit?
Oh Father, have mercy on our mess and allow your Body the privilege of cooperating again with the Holy Spirit under the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ.

M: How does the Brazilian culture influence your work?
B: I live here, it's impossible not to be influenced. As you can see in my objects I try to use materials such as terracotta or straw, that do not belong to the design here, but they are used by people in everyday life. For me it's interesting to get inspiration from the popular culture and apply it to an object that could be defined more as "design", finding a Brazilian aesthetic, that in an international panorama can start a reflection on my own culture.
M: I think that Brazilian design in the last years has been recognized more and more, you started your career in Italy and then you moved back to Brazil, how did you experience this change? Do you think you have been part of the "new Brazilian design"?
B: In 2009, after being in Fabrica, the crisis was starting in Europe, so I decided to move back to Brazil. I felt a big wave of optimism here, to the contrary of the rest of the world, the world cup and Olympics were coming and everything was going up. With Lula, I think the situation was getting better, both on a social and economical aspect, you could feel a true general optimism, and this definitely influenced my work. The media from Europe was really interested in what was happening in Brazil, where design, architecture and artists were receiving interest from the rest of the world. So for me, it was a great moment to be back, together with Zanini and others, more or less the under 40 generation, we were being identified as the "new Brazilian design". But I think that now, in the last 2 years, things have changed. The political situation is not the same and Brazil is receiving different treatment.

Feeling Ready
Took SEC503 at the end of August this year. Today I scored an 83% with 40min left and using my index on the practice test. I felt a lot better about it than I thought I would. It seems I have absorbed quite a bit of information. I'll spend the next few days reviewing my weak areas and adding to my index just a bit.
Test is Tuesday. Let's do this!

We can all pretty much agree breakups are the worst, especially when they happen unexpectedly and right before an already planned event, like a vacation, a trip to the opera, a fancy dinner reservation, or, in the case of Emma Vowell, a plan to go skydiving.
As a surprise birthday gift, the19-year-old sophomore at Purdue University in Indiana, had purchased skydiving tickets for herself and her now ex-boyfriend. After he broke up with her the week of his birthday, Vowell didn't know what to do with the tickets.
At first, she tried selling them, but then she had a better idea — to use Tinder to find a platonic date to go skydiving with.
"Interesting story, my ex broke up with me the week of his birthday, so now I awkwardly have two skydiving tickets above the Chicago skyline that expire in November," she wrote in her new Tinder bio.
She had originally advertised the tickets as a joke on Tinder, but then she matched with 22-year-old Austin Bates, a fellow student at Purdue, who was interested in accompanying her on the sky-high experience.
"What are your requirements to take someone on this skydiving adventure?" he asked her on Tinder.
"Just need it to be someone interesting," Vowell replied.
Bates let her know he'd send over his resume when he got the chance and Vowell asked that he also include a cover letter.
So that's exactly what he did.
"If you are looking for an attractive guy to go skydiving with, who understands that it'll be a purely platonic evening, then look no further," he wrote in his cover letter to her. "Throughout my time at Purdue, I have participated in and led high-risk, adrenaline filled weekend excursions, but have yet to check skydiving off of my list."
He added that he didn't expect Vowell to cover the cost of his ticket without some reimbursement. He offered her several options of repayment including driving her to classes, exams, or bars for a week of her choosing, letting her spend time and receive photos of his puppy, and one-on-one personal training sessions. He also mentioned he'd be willing to cover food, lodging, gas, and more during their skydiving adventure.
"I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to meet with you, so please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions or would like to arrange an interview," he ended his letter.
In a now deleted and reposted tweet, Vowell posted screenshots of her Tinder bio and his cover letter. She asked fellow Twitter users if she should take him, and people thought he seemed like a good fit for the adventure.
Following the positive reactions on Twitter, Vowell and Bates met up for coffee, and plan to go skydiving together October 28.
Everyone moves on from breakups differently, but Vowell's experience is pretty inspirational. Instead of letting her breakup keep her from experiencing an exciting life experience, she found a creative solution. She's making new friends and moving forward instead of letting the end of a relationship prevent her from enjoying herself.
And, she may have gotten a job out of all this.
Good things happen to those who put themselves out there.
A Plus has reached out to Vowell for comment.

Schlage J40 and F40 model knobs and latches use a bed/bath lock that allows for locking the door with a push button inside the room. The outside knob or latch has a small hole that allows you to unlock the door in an emergency. Schlage includes a privacy lock key with its J40 and F40 knobs and latches, but any straight, narrow item can be used to unlock these doors.
Step 1
Locate the small hole on the outside of the door latch or knob.
Step 2
Line up your tool with the hole and insert it inside the knob or latch. Make sure that your tool is strong enough to push the release button, but still small enough to fit inside the hole.
Step 3
Press inside the knob or latch until the release button trips. Do not try to turn the knob while pressing. You may need to realign the tool a few times before it lands on the release button. You will hear a click when the release has been pressed.

I'm working on an example to explore some more complex modeling in EF (for SQL and NoSQL) but that's not ready so I thought I'd use it as a bed for some Validation testing I'm doing. The result is some exploration of the FluentValidation project that I haven't had time to dig into until now.
Validation is an interesting exercise in ASP.NET (Core) and trying to get it correct is quite difficult. Ultimately in this day of SPAs and mobile apps, we need a solution that handles the client and the server. If you don't validate on the server it just doesn't matter.
I may be very late to the party, but once Gulp 3.x stopped working with recent versions of Node, I've been forced to update my projects to the newest version of Gulp.
I was hesitant to learn it as I often think of Gulp as just a side-line tool that I use for production. Luckily for me, the new Gulp is actually simpler and more intuitive. I wanted to write a quick blog post explaining how I converted them.
I was delighted to spend some time today at Connect.Tech conference. Great web conference and it was packed. So many excited people who wanted to talk about web technologies!
I saw some great talks before mine. I tried to convince the audience that Vuex would simplify not complicate their Vue projects. Hopefully I succeeded.
Endpoint Routing was introduced in ASP.NET Core 2.2 but has been made a first class citizen of ASP.NET Core in 3.0. While you're old projects will continue to work without it, upgrading to Endpoint Routing will improve your applications.
Endpoint Routing is a system to handle routing across different middleware systems (e.g. MVC, Razor Pages, Blazor, SignalR and gRPC). By having endpoints that work with each other, you can think of a system more holistically then having terminal middleware that don't talk to each other. Let's see what that actually means in practice.
I'm finally getting around to looking at updating my examples and courses to 3.0. This post is based on .NET Core Preview 8 so this might change in the future.
There are a number of great walkthroughs for moving your ASP.NET Core 2.x projects to 3.0. So I don't want to repeat that. Instead, I want to talk about what's happening, not just a list of things to do.
I started writing services in websites back in the .NET 1.0 days. Originally I was doing just POX (Plain Old XML) services in a very crude way so we could get the job done for our internal systems back in the early 2000's.
This means I've been through the "new tech" crazy with services for a long time. I've spent much of the last year digging into different tech for services to interact with websites (though many of the same issues are for rich clients and IoT). I'm not done and don't know how right my assumptions are yet, but I thought I'd try to start a conversation.
I've been updating the Atlanta Code Camp website to improve our administration workflow. With the Call for Speakers coming up soon, I wanted to make sure we had a good way of picking only the best talks.
One of the things I've done is move it to a Single App with Vuex at the center of it. But I ran into an oddity with Vuex that I thought I'd share.
There is a lot of buzz around the internet about Vue.js 3.0's announcement about a new composition model. There are a lot of questions about it and I think much of it is 'they moved my cheese' more than 'they're breaking everything'.
So let's talk about it...
ASP.NET Core 3 seems to be taking a similar tact to version 1 as it is adding a lot of functionality and phasing it in with different previews. While a lot of the articles seem to be focusing on the non-ASP.NET features (e.g. WPF, WinForms, etc.), I thought it would be nice to let those of you who are ASP.NET devs know what is in Preview 6 just for you.
It feels a lot like the ASP.NET MVC/API side is being treated as mature and stable as there is are not a lot of surface changes. Microsoft does seem to be doubling down on Razor Pages and Blazor. It feels like they want .NET Core to be a good fit for different styles and backgrounds of developer. This release is no different.
As you might have heard, GitHub has created it's own package registry. On the face of it, it might just feel like an opportunity to get more 'buy-in' into using GitHub, but I think something else is going on.
While most people are focusing on the support in NPM for the GitHub registry, they're actually supporting a package repository for a handful of package services. These include Nuget, Ruby Gems, Maven, and Docker. Why are they doing this?
One of the first times I started working with Vue, I was concerned about it's long-term success. I was coming from Angular and their ecosystem is huge.
I was delighted to find that the ecosystem is pretty varied. The Vue website tries to make it easier to find the kinds of libraries and components that you might need. It comes from two places on the website.
I have to admit, my first experiences with React several years ago were meet with a lot of cynicism. The idea of mixing JavaScript and Markup made me clutch my pearls to the core.
Now I know that you can use React without using JSX, but I think that is missing the point in a lot of ways. Of course, I'm not a React expert so I am sure you'll let me know how wrong I am ; )
If you're building larger scale Vue objects and you're not using Vuex to centralize your state, please stop and go learn Vuex. Really. For those of you still here, sometimes it's helpful to be able to monitor state changes to perform other tasks. For example, to send messages or communicate with servers that aren't about state (e.g. SignalR is a good example). That's where Vuex plugins come in. A Vuex plugin is a simple function that is called once during the setup of a Vuex store. Typically you'd just create the function/arrow function taking an instance of the store:
export default store => {
Inside the function, you just want to subscribe to changes to the store as you need. An easy way to think about this is to use subscribe to a mutation:
I had the opportunity to speak at the Atlanta Vue Meetup recently. This was a great group of people who had mostly had experience with Vue.js.
I'm so used to having to try and convince people to use Vue, that this was a fun talk to get people interested in using it in different ways than they are used to.
I had a great time presenting to the Atlanta .NET Users' Group last night. I talked about where I think Vue.js.
I got to espouse my opinion (again) about SPA being large monoliths instead of building 'islands of functionality'. I learned a new achronym too, "Multiple Page Apps" or MPAs for this type of client-side dev.
The Vue team has been working hard. Much like Angular, the Vue team has a command-line interface (CLI) to help develop projects with Vue.
If all you're doing is building a SPA, the CLI can really help simplify setting up a project. But is that all you should be doing with Vue?
If you're not in the south part of the Netherlands, you might have missed my most recent appearance last night. Great hosts, guests and sponsors make the night and easy and fun talk.
After a long day at Techorama NL, I was whisked away to Eindhoven for a talk at the .NET Zuid group (e.g. Southern .NET Group). I was able to show them the basics of Vue.js and pontificate about my continued hatred of the phrase "Single Page Applications".
Had a great week here in Warsaw! Got to see some great sights and great developers!
Thanks to the great team behind .NET Developer Days! Great group of attendees that asked some great questions.
I've been advocating using NPM for a client-side package manager in the last few months since Bower support has been depreciated. And while this works pretty well (using Scott Allen's UseNodeModules middlware) to allow you to just point at the NPM folder.
Of course, for production, this isn't a great solution. I've been showing people to use Gulp or WebPack to copy only the files you need in production. But for development, there is a problem: Intellisense.
I know I am not going to make everyone happy with this post. I've been hoping to not have to make this post, but Entity Framework Core has finally added support for Lazy Loading, so it's time.
This problem is not new. Entity Framework (not Core) also has this problem. But it's far easier to accidentally do this in that version. Luckily, Entity Framework Core has made it harder to inadvertently turn it on. Let's see what's wrong with Lazy Loading in Web Apps.
Not John BoltonThe notorious quip by Mark Twain came to mind today as I was reviewing comments to my recent blog post about Blazor, a lot of the comments talked about WebAssembly being the death of JavaScript.
The fact is that we've all been here before. In fact, we've been here many times. And I, for one, don't want to simply see WebAssembly as something to replace JavaScript. Here are my thoughts.
In case you haven't been following the news about WebAssembly (e.g. WASM), it's a new way to build something akin to bytecode for the browser. The latest versions of most browsers now support it including Chrome, Firefox and Edge.
Microsoft has built an experimental release of something called Blazor that builds web projects in WebAssembly so you can write all your code in C#. But after playing with one of the builds, I'm starting to think about who this really is for. Let's delve into what WebAssembly is and then how Blazor works to explain what I think.
Since I do a lot of web development and teach web dev on the Microsoft platform, I spend a lot of time in tools that are node-based. If you don't know already, gulp, grunt, webpack, etc. all use node to run themselves.
Because of this, Visual Studio tries to be a good guy and pre-installs Node with Visual Studio. When you use some of these tools in Visual Studio, they just work. No more having to tell dev's to go install something to get them to work.
As many of you know, I'm a Pluralsight author and I've been writing courses for the site for a long time now. I have over twenty courses to my name. While my ASP.NET Core courses get a lot of attention, I've been trying to help people get started in general web development through my courses.
To this end, I wanted to answer the question I get a lot of times about how someone would transition into web development from desktop or other programming (or even completely new to the field). This post's purpose is to help people see what Pluralsight courses (mine and others) would be a good primer into web development.
I've been feeling kind of old school lately. I've been pining for just writing client-side code and watching it work. That's not the world that we're in these days.
Writing web apps has become complicated. Transpilation has made some thing really awesome, but it also has complicated the field. Webpack, Browserify, Babel and even TypeScript have all make our lives easier and awful at the same time.

Storm Drain Covers and Guards
Storm Drain Inlet Protection Products for Filtration
Inlet storm drain covers are robust filtration products designed to accommodate the requirements of combination street drains. Made from a reliable filter fabric, the storm drain covers allow water to continue to pass through the drain while removing sediment and other larger particles. This protects stormwater systems from unwanted pollutants and helps prevent contamination.

By contrast, the inlet drain guard installs in minutes through built in magnets located within the guard.

Hagiwara Japanese Tea Garden, San Francisco: To see it is to taste green tea and sesame cookies....
[ Image Source ]
But before we left the park, there was one feature that we all had to visit: the Hagiwara Japanese Tea Garden.
Covering five acres, the tea garden actually is fairly large, but not nearly so large as it seems. This owes to one of the techniques that define nihon teien, or Japanese gardening, whose secret lies in a paradox: It is precisely by filling and breaking up space that the artist-landscaper enlarges it.
Japanese garden: A path to nowhere? Only one way
to find out....
[ Image Source ]
First to hide, then to reveal, harmoniously dramatic elements of landscape and ornament: Here is the conjuration that transforms five acres of California parkland into what seems part of an emperor's estate.
Artfully mingling a multitude of hillsides and ravines, wood-railed paths that twist and coil upon themselves, meandering streams overarched by bridges and filled with carp and koi, ponds, waterfalls, Buddhist statuary and pagoda-crowned pavilions with rocks, trees and a hundred kinds of plants and flowers, the garden offers a surprise behind every turn. From nowhere can the eye command or the memory contain its every feature, and to this it owes its wizardry.
This gardener laid out eddies and currents in sand
to simulate water.
[ Image Source ]
Not all such gardens are alike. Water may be a nearly universal element in them, but as we see above, actual water is not required: Some gardens use patches of bare earth, scored into patterns suggesting ripples and waves, to represent water symbolically. But one feature is common to them all: tranquility. Here, embowered by "the best of nature's handiwork in a limited space," one may sip green tea and nibble sesame cookies or serenely stroll from scene to scene, and feel that one has sojourned to the Japan of a former and less frantic age.
And if this is not magic, what is?

Darcy Lewis/Tony Stark
|Darcy Lewis/Tony Stark
|Alternative name(s):
|Titaniumtaser,[1] Irontaser, Electrical Engineering
|Gender category:
|Thor Movieverse/Iron Man Movieverse, The Avengers Movieverse (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
|fairly rare
|Darcy/Tony (AO3)
|Click here for related articles on Fanlore.
Darcy/Tony is the rare non-canon pairing of Darcy Lewis and Tony Stark from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Darcy/Tony is one of the smaller pairings shipped in The Avengers fandom, however it is focused on three types of fics - romantic, platonic, and family-related.
- See Darcy Lewis & Tony Stark for gen version of the pairing.
Although Darcy doesn't appear in the Avengers film, fanon has her living at the Avengers Tower (at Tony's request/encouragement) and/or working for S.H.I.E.L.D., generally as an lab assistant to Jane Foster (and/or Bruce and Tony) still or as Phil Coulson's latest agent prodigy. Common storylines have Tony or Pepper asking Darcy to become Tony's or Pepper's Assistant. In the stories where she joins S.H.I.E.L.D., Darcy is usually the Avengers' liaison/PR.
- Snarky Squishy Humans series by sarcastic_fina, Darcy probably shouldn't have let her crush on Tony Stark influence her make-up decisions, but there was no going back now.
- Crazy is the New Normal series by sara47q, a Darcy/Steve/Tony threesome fic series.
- give me the run and around by isawet, a Darcy/Tony Soulmate AU.
- Broken. Healed. Stronger. series by Skytteflickan88, a Post-The Avengers story where Darcy tries to move on from what happened in NY.
- Influence by in-a-lilac-wood, Darcy Lewis is a lot of things: poli-sci major, kickass intern...Hulk-tamer?.
- That's Our Song on the Radio (Turn It Up Loud) by sarcastic_fina, Darcy falls in love with a guy who listens to music just as loudly as she does and can recite lyrics just as effortlessly.
- Bros! by AlchemyAlice, In which Darcy remembers something that Tony (mostly) doesn't, Jane is rendered awkward, and there is some snarking about polka-dot bras.. (podfic)
- yeah, like that happens! by astartelydianna "in which Darcy gets hit with sex pollen".

M1 Garand
I just received my Garand today from the CMP! And boy were they
quick: total time from mailing my application to receiving my M1 was
4 weeks. It appears from the outside to be in good condition; a few
dings and nicks here and there but overall better than I expected. I
can't wait to get it to the range, but it got here so quickly that I
haven't starting loading yet. I would appreciate any recommendations
y'all might have regarding loads, powders, bullets, etc. Which
bullet would be good considering my entire match shooting will be at
100 yards? Thanks in advance for your help. CAM
M1 Garand
100-yard matches don't require any less accuracy than full distance
ones. I shot them for many years and always enjoyed them! I would
recommend 47.5 grains of 4895 in a Lake City or IMI case with
Winchester primers and a Sierra 168. I'm not saying there is no
better load to be found out there, just that this one is very good
in most rifles and will allow you to start having fun and learning
about your rifle.
M1 Garand
CAM, I'm rather new to reloading for the M1, and my loads are for
the National Match course of 200, 300, and 600 yds but I did start
at a 100 yd range to narrow down the choice loads. I found that
primer choice made a huge difference in how an otherwise identical
load worked. In other words, same brass, bullet, powder charge but
different primer made a noticeable difference in group size. I found
that so far CCI large rifle primer makes a much smaller group than
Winchester large rifle primer. I was using Lake City brass, IMR4895,
and Sierra BTHP 168gr match. The 168s probably aren't what you need
for 100 yd matches. Wideners has 1000 150gr FMJ M2 ball for $68,
shipping included. That's what I'm now working on for my 200 yd
loads. Right now my M1 is in pieces as I refinish the wood, so it
will be a while before I can load and test the 150gr bullets. Dan
M1 Garand
I also received my H&R M1 on the 17th. Did you think to order either
the ball or match ammunition when you ordered your rifle? You can
purchase a can of each with you 1348 bill of sale from CMP. This
will also give you a good reference point to begin reloading with. I
pulled the bullet on the ball ammunition with the 150 gr bullet and
it had 45.5 grs of what looked like xxx4895 powder. The only
difference I could tell in the brass was the ball had a crimped
M1 Garand
Don't forget that the Lake City plant did not use canister grade
powders. They received a huge lot of powder, and then ran tests to
determine how much to use to get the desired pressure and velocity.
Trying to correlate the amount in LC ammo to a hand load may lead to
problems. You can order the ammo on the CMP website.
M1 Garand
CAM: You can do quite well at 100yds. With 125gr. bullets, and get
reduced recoil in the bargain. I used to buy R-P 125PSP's from
Midway when they'd offer them on special for $62/1000. They're not
an attractive bullet, with a blunt, short ogive and a cannelure, but
they work quite well for 100yd shooting in either the M1 or 308 M1A.
Also, the Speer 125 TNT or Sierra 125gr.PSP will work fine at 100.
Any 4895 works, as well as AA2520, if you like ball powders.

5 Steps Toward Career Development In Nursing
Nursing is an incredibly rewarding career that gives you the opportunity to spend your days helping others. It's a very difficult job and the people that go into nursing do so with the expectation that they will have to make sacrifices to their own lives and deal with difficult situations in the name of helping other people. The reason that people go into this career is to affect change and part of that is simply carrying out the day to day duties of a registered nurse. However, a lot of people find that they want to progress in their career and reach more senior positions so they can make a bigger impact, but they often don't know how to go about it.

We at Gerr.is believe in the ideal of our democratic republic and what is has offered America and Americans in various forms of freedom-for-all over the course of the last 243 years.

ChrisCast Episode 4: 24601; Part 2: Electric Boogaloo
I tried a bunch of editing stuff and splitting stuff. I don't even know if the storytelling is linear or if it's even listenable with all the clips and so forth in between and I am pretty sure the files got shuffled and are out of order so maybe the end of the story is at the beginning. So, I put in a warning. Otherwise, enjoy!
ChrisCast Episode 3: Je ne sais rien
Sort of a ramble, sort of a rant. Trying out background music and more of the editing tools that the Anchor.fm Android app tools and so forth. What do you think? My voice is very hot, very loud, but at least I'm highly audit and very easy to comprehend. Pretty much just a My Dinner With André sort of thing, the sort engaged in by the madman who lives under the bridge. Enjoy and let me know what's up with you and what you think!

The southern border of the United States is not a finish line
For me, the immigration debate comes down to commercial airlines' safety instructions: "put your oxygen mask on first, before helping others." Until every rural American—the welcome wagon at most borders and border towns—feels heard, loved, fed, supported, educated, included, and respected—prosperous (prosperity breeds generosity)—then they will never feel like they can ever affix an oxygen mask on a stranger.
Characteristics of a Reliable KYC Tool
Knowing Your Client or KYC is really a time-consuming, resource-intensive process. However, it is a necessary step to ensure that you're doing business with outstanding, trustworthy clients. All these efforts just to check and verify your potential customer's information and activities will help save you from millions of dollars in losses, fines, and fees, and a ton of headache.
Gather Ye Rosebuds by Robert Herrick
If you've ever taken an early American literature course in college, this is indeed a class favorite. "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" is a poem written by English Cavalier poet Robert Herrick in the 17th century. First published in 1648 as number 208 in a volume of verse entitled Hesperides, it is perhaps one of the most famous poems to extol the notion of carpe diem, a philosophy that recognizes the brevity of life and, therefore, the need to live for and in the moment.
The Pure Contralto Sings In The Organ Loft by Walt Whitman
I don't know why I remember it, but the line, "the pure contralto sings in the organ loft," seared itself into my brain—maybe because "contralto" was a new word to me.
Song Of Myself, XXIV by Walt Whitman
This poem contains one of my favorite stanzas, "Unscrew the locks from the doors! / Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs! / Whoever degrades another degrades me, / And whatever is done or said returns at last to me."
Song Of Myself, XVI by Walt Whitman
This poem is an essential read as American is broken apart by people who believe themselves to be better—superior even—than their fellow citizens, "I resist any thing better than my own diversity, / Breathe the air but leave plenty after me, / And am not stuck up, and am in my place."
Song of Myself, XI by Walt Whitman
One of Walt Whitman's most innocently sensual poems indeed.

LondonsUniverse knows you don't do it "Like Dis"
Get in tune to the Indiana native.
Indiana native LondonsUniverse has released "like dis", a banger where the stunts are anything but subliminal. The hard-hitting 808's bring some structure to the focused but spacey vocals that give off Trippie Redd vibes, but his focused delivery on the verse differentiates him from the fellow Midwest native.
Lil Universe has the sonic aesthetic and rap dexterity to hold it down on his own, but don't just take my word for it, listen for yourself below:
