"Never allow waiting to become a habit. Live your dreams and take risks. Life is happening now."
As my first article on here, I decided what better way to kick off a blog than to tell the story about what got me here in the first place. This way, anyone can know me on a somewhat personal level and hopefully connect or relate. I'm 22 years old and for a 22 year old young lady, I've done a lot more thinking about my career than the average 22 year old would like to do! Not complaining that's for sure! So I have to be honest, art and/or design have never left my mind. But where I come from, it's not the most popular jobs or career paths out there but I like to think that it's a good thing. It's quite cool I must say. So being a teenager trying to figure out what I want the rest of my life to look like (talk about pressure, right?), I realized I loved architecture and all things around it but I never paid attention to that and I think I must've told myself that since it's not a very popular job in my entourage, I should probably do something more common.
It wasn't until my parents told me last summer that they wanted to re-do the house and were looking for a plan. It was as natural as it could be when I sat them down, asked them about what they were looking for and instantly started making a plan. My head was just filled with ideas, I found myself looking for more inspiration, grabing magazines and reading blogs all about interior design. It litteraly brought me to life. To see how excited I was to plan and design our own house, the passion I felt for that was so strong that I realized that was the joy I wanted to feel for the rest of my life. I always kind of promised myself to only do what makes me happy and not get caught in what I am "supposed" to do.
So here I am, until I can get my marketing degree and start interior design school, I am starting an interior design blog because first I didn't wanna wait when I have such strong love for this and I also wanted to be able to live my passion everyday and having a blog will help me share that with other people and maybe inspire some. The joy of being around an interior design community is pretty amazing and it's always good to surround yourself with like-minded people. And since art has no boundaries, the internet sounded like a good idea to reach out to every person I can around the world.
I hope that through this blog, you will be able to explore interior design through different cultures and I would be able to learn even more about it through communicating and writing on this blog. I am so excited to begin this journey and share it with more people as I go.
I hope you feel as inspired as I do.
Lots of love,

Enterprises are increasingly being called upon to provide a high level of user experience with compelling and interactive content. Serving enterprise content and data securely to internet / intranet has become a very common necessity and is routinely handled by web servers. Web services technology, on the other hand, addresses the application-to-application transparent interaction over the web using industry standards. Delivery of web services can also be handled by databases which are responsive to HTTP requests. In this article a simple example of serving a static web page containing dynamic content from a SQL Anywhere 11 database server is described. The web page has examples of jQuery, DOJO, as well as an embedded ADOBE flash file.
Web servers and database web servers
Web servers enable enterprises to expose their data and information to intranet and internet users. This procedure involves nothing more than the client sending an HTTP request to the web server. The web server sends out any data processing in the request to backend server(s), formats the returned information in HTML, and serves the HTTP response to the user (Figure 1). In the case of static HTML content, the requested HTML files containing resources (images, videos, etc) will be returned to the user as an HTML response. For delivering streaming media, the content is delivered to the user via a browser plug-in accessing a streaming media server for maximum efficiency. Although, a standard web server can also be configured to serve streaming media files. AJAX has become popular where a partial refresh of a web page is needed. In this case, the web server is accessed via a XMLHTTP request with the response returning in XML \ HTML.
A basic request / response pair that connects a web browser with a web server is shown in Figure 1. Although an internet cloud is shown, the browser and the server can also be on the same computer.

Elon Musk on 'Trac' with solar tiles?
TRACTILE solar roof tile designer and manufacturer, Gold Coast-based Trac Group Holdings, has welcomed billionaire Tesla owner Elon Musk's planned expansion into the global solar roof tile market.
Trac Group managing director Jason Perkins said the high-profile entrepreneur's foray into the solar roof tile business would enhance the industry and raise awareness among consumers.
"During the past eight years we have developed, product tested and refined our Tractile Solar Roof tiles and we are now preparing to start a global roll-out of our products,'' Mr Perkins said.
"Tractile was one of the first companies to offer solar roof tiles, and the only one in the world that offers both electricity and heated water from a solar roof tile. We are technology leaders with a strong focus on design.
"Mr Musk has done the industry and our company a huge favour by highlighting the opportunity for the solar roof tile sector.
"It is forecast that the Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) market will grow from about $3 billion in 2015 to over $9 billion in 2019, and surge to $26 billion by 2022.
"Like electric cars, and battery storage, when Musk moves into an industry it is because he sees opportunity."
Mr Musk has unveiled prototypes of a new roof combining roof shingles and solar cells and announced his Tesla and SolarCity businesses were expanding into the industry.
Trac Group, which is the designer and manufacturer of award-winning roofing products, attempted an Australian Stock Exchange listing earlier this year to raise funds for the international expansion but it was withdrawn.
"One the issues we encountered during the listing process was that large investors were wary of the technology and unaware of the potential of the market,'' Mr Perkins said.
"Elon Musk's announcement has lifted global awareness of the opportunity almost overnight and we are pleased that a visionary business leader such as Mr Musk realises the potential for these products around the world. It validates the opportunity for Tractile to be a key player in this growing market, as well as a potential takeover target.
"At present we have requests for quotes from literally hundreds of potential customers and we are excited about the prospects for the future.
"Mr Musk's announcement will help us to attract additional capital, which we need to fund our planned global roll-out, and attract large developers who are looking for innovative products to integrate into their projects."
Mr Perkins said the US market required five million new roofs every year while the Australian market builds about 100,000 roofs every year. Mr Musk's company plans to enter the US market next year.
Trac Group Holdings director Bertio Terpstra said he believed Mr Musk's company would help Trac Group's efforts. "Our focus at this stage is on niche markets rather than the mass consumer market,'' Mr Terpstra said.
"We are marketing our products to eco-villages, 50-plus developments, high-end architect-designed homes and off-grid projects.
"Developments that involve bodies corporate are attracted to our products because they should pay for themselves within six years of construction and can be fully financed for retrofit projects.
"I recently attended the Solar Power International exhibition in Las Vegas and there were no building integrated roofing systems on show,'' Mr Terpstra said.
"The products on display were 10 years behind where we are now and as a result we have appointed an agent in California to sign up distributors in the USA."
Mr Terpstra said the exclusive distribution licences would be initially priced at $200,000 for every million people in the distributor's target area.
"The research shows that for every one million people, there are approximately 4000 new roofs required every year, so our distribution licences have been priced to take that into account,'' Mr Perkins said.
"In exchange our distributors will have exclusive territory access to a variety of Trac Group's product lines, trademarks and intellectual property."
"For each territory of one million people or more, the distributor will receive $35,000 worth of stock to establish demonstration homes."
Mr Perkins said the company had received more than 2200 business leads since its attempted stock exchange listing.
"Trac Group Holdings has been approached by 64 potential distributors interested in arrangements in 12 different countries,'' Mr Perkins said.
"We also have had requests for product information from 200 retail customers in five different countries for new construction projects and renovations.

Over time I've found 10 qualities in students that make them good students. The students get pleasure from their leisure time more while enjoying sports. Students leave faculty for quite a lot of reasons. Beneath his leadership, Bettendorf High College was named one of the Finest Excessive Colleges in the nation three occasions by Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report.
Initiatives comparable to Growing the Young Workforce deliver together colleges and employers in working partnerships to encourage and deliver learning alternatives. In 1996, the Carnegie Company of New York found that students benefited from participating in highschool sports.
College students have to learn constantly and easily construct their general schooling, in their own language first, then in English, or else they are going to never understand English newspapers or TELEVISION shows. Before the students even begin to read the article, I'll clarify that the article which they'll read is about automobile accidents.
A large portion of the African inhabitants has people who dwell beneath the poverty line, and thus many families can't afford to take their children to school as a result of it is expensive. – While charter schools have the identical major laws and rules as different public faculties, they are not forced to divert their resources and power away from educational excellence.
Thanks for studying this text and your nice encouraging comments. The priority must be the scholars, or the proposition of public education on its' very face, is false. Education, English, Drama and the Arts : combining the research of English literature, and the option of studying sensible Drama, with key points in training, equivalent to debates around creativity, studying and tradition.

Let�s remember who�s who here, or was at PK Park on Friday.
Oregon State looked and played the part of the established program with steady fielding and clutch hitting, which backed up solid pitching as the Beavers cruised to a 7-1 victory over Oregon in the Pac-10 opener for both teams.
The Ducks? Defensively, they committed five errors in the field to match their season high. That would normally lead to some pity for the pitchers, but they were charged with three of the errors, and also committed a balk.
Oregon couldn�t make up for any or all of that because offensively the Ducks (10-13) were held to five hits two didn�t leave the infield and had two of their seven total base runners doubled up at first base when they didn�t get back in time on flyouts.
The standing room only crowd of 2,777 had to be wondering whether this first Civil War baseball game in 28 years went very far in re-establishing the rivalry on the diamond.
�We�ve been wanting to see them and we got to see them,� Oregon�s Caleb Tommasini said. �Unfortunately we didn�t show up as the Ducks. That�s not the team that we strive to be.�
The Beavers (14-5) were that in recording their sixth consecutive win. They committed one harmless error, which worked well with starting pitcher Tyler Waldron (2-1), who recorded one strikeout in his 71/3 innings but threw plenty of strikes at the Ducks to allow his defense to do the work.
�He threw well,� Tommasini said. �He didn�t do anything too special, he just hit his spots. We never got our nose on the ball. I tip my hat to him for what he did but it was kind of on us, too.�
As Oregon�s Andrew Schmidt put it: �We gave a couple at-bats away and swung at too many first pitches.�
Tommasini, who had two of Oregon�s hits, also scored the lone run. He singled with one out in the fourth inning, took second on a groundout and then came around on a two-out single by Schmidt.
That only got the Ducks within 3-1, and Waldron and reliever Kraig Sitton made sure it never got closer.
A sophomore transfer from the University of the Pacific, the right-handed Waldron looked the part of a pitcher who can throw on Fridays regularly, in the opener of a series and matched up against the opposing team�s best starting pitcher.
�I love it,� Waldron said. �There�s nothing better (than) Friday night (with a) huge crowd, a lot of excitement, everyone plays with confidence � I love it.�
All that said, he kept his emotions in control.
�The biggest thing is it�s just another Friday night,� Waldron said. �The opening of the Pac-10? Yeah. Civil War? Yeah. Oregon? Yeah. But it�s just another game that we needed to come prepared for.�
That�s maybe another sign of the program that has won a College World Series as recently as two years ago, up against an opponent restarting its program after a 28-year absence.
�We played relaxed and confident and we were able to get it done,� said Oregon State center fielder John Wallace, who scored OSU�s first run and drove in three more. �They�re all new guys in their first year, so I�m sure we�re going to expect better from them (today and Sunday).�
The series continues today at 6 p.m. in Portland�s PGE Park, with the series finale up there on Sunday at 1 p.m.
�We need to bounce back with a little better effort,� Tommasini said. �We never got our feet completely underneath ourselves.�
The Ducks were still within 3-1 entering the ninth inning, but the first three OSU hitters reached on errors by two Oregon pitchers and all three eventually scored, two on a single by Jared Norris. What team can afford to give up three unearned runs?
�It got away from us late, and I think the score is really not indicative of how we played,� Schmidt said. �We�re a club that puts it out there with pitching and defense. Those are givens we have to have if we�re going to stay in every game.
�Unfortunately, we didn�t play as good of defense as we would have liked.�

I think it is my second favourite vegetable. Seriously. Second only to peas (both frozen and fresh). Garlic, onions and tomatoes don't quite count. Certain vegetables are only excellent during their peak season and don't have an all year presence, like asparagus, so I'm not counting those either. So yes. Cauliflower is my second favourite vegetable.
How fabulously versatile is it? How many wonderful things can you do with a brassica that is, to be honest, a little dull. It's not something I sneak into the kitchen to nibble on (peas in pods don't last a day in our kitchen and cherry tomatoes are so very poppable) because on its own it is a bit bland. But the flavours it works with! And the processes and things you can do that turn it into magic. Here's to the mighty cauliflower!
The reason I am excited about cauliflowers is because I finally got around to making this sephardic dish of battered and fried caulflower in a lemony tomato sauce. I've had the recipe in my 'Make Me' pile for ages but it seemed like it might be a bit finnicky. It wasn't. You should make it.
You quickly blanch your cauliflower florets then drain them and mix them into a simple batter (half a cup of flour with some salt and pepper, tossed, then two eggs beaten with a bit of water, toss the floured cauliflower with that, then another half cup of flour - get in with yout hands!) then fry them up to golden and lovely. (I also dropped little blobs of batter into the oil.) You slip the crispy golden florets into a very simple tomato sauce with lemon zest and a squeeze of juice and let it barely simmer for ten minutes then eat it covered with parsley.
(Here's a link to the recipe proper on Michael's Herbivoracious blog.)
How good is that?
C declared it was his second favourite way to eat cauliflower. His favourite? Roasted and dipped in spicy ketchup. Yup, we're fancy.

Meet our Youth Board!
Young people from all across Kent, who meet at Gulbenkian monthly to support and promote the ART31 programme across the county.
Meet our Youth Board!
Young people from all across Kent, who meet at Gulbenkian monthly to support and promote the ART31 programme across the county.
I'm Emma, and while I am somewhat artistically challenged myself, I am very passionate about organising events, such as festivals, that will bring young people together to take part in and celebrate the arts. I have just finished my A Levels, and am taking a gap year, so I have a lot of time to dedicate to making Kent a more interesting and inclusive place to live.
Lucy is a freelance prop, costume and moulding & casting technician based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent. She has been a member of the ART31 Youth Board for nearly two years now and is passionate about enabling fellow young people to experience opportunities in the arts as well as having the chance to get their voice heard.
Hi, I'm Anna, I enjoy being involved in the Arts especially getting the chance to meet and network with art professionals. The Art31 Youth Board has given opportunities to present shows, take a lead on events and campaign for more arts within schools.
I'm Archie. I am a film buff and will be reviewing the latest films on the website, those in the cinema and new DVD/Digital releases as well as new indie films. I hope I can inform you well about films and persuade you to see films you may not otherwise see.
Hi, I'm Gray. I'm a writer, dancer, singer, and actress, who also dabbles in photography and poetry. I have very egalitarian views, and am passionate about a great many arts issues, but particularly equality and challenging stereotypes in the arts. I'm an Art31Kent Youth Board member because I'd like to help others get as much out of the arts as I feel I have.
I'm a producer / artist, I live Margate, Kent. I'm part of the ART31 in Thanet which is also where I do most of my music production and recording (Pie Factory Music, Ramsgate), I'm very deeply invested there not just music wise but I also help with organising events and general assistance. Apart from music I study science at college and enjoy various activities. I recently joined the Youth Board. I'm enjoying this as the organisation and I share the same interest; changing Kent and making it more opportunistic for young people especially with art and music. I believe there's great deal of talents in Kent but platforms are not available for them. So with ART31 and the Youth Board our aim is to tackle this issue.
I am a public speaker, media spokesperson, activist, writer, blogger and chair of trustees for a refugee charity (My website is www.tamannamiah.co.uk). Volunteering, campaigning and the arts really changed my life, it helped me to channel my negative experiences of discrimination into positive ones. Throughout education I did singing lessons, was part of a choir and went on tour in Germany with my school, I was awarded scholarships and bursaries for 4years to attend performing arts school, performed in shows, events and productions. I entered art competitions and was a part of 3 art exhibitions. I don't know what I would have done without the arts, it really boosted my confidence and self esteem. It saved my life. I really want to help other young people enter the arts and access the same opportunities I did. I want to ensure the arts is accessible and inclusive to all especially those from disabled and BAME backgrounds.
I'm Ben and I'm passionate about programming and organising music events. I programmed the stage for SOUNDRising 2017, in the lead up to ART31's UPrising festival in July. I'm doing a music course in Music Performance at Canterbury College, play guitar and can skate (badly). I really want to encourage and programme more accessible music events, including a music platform for local bands.
I'm Josie and I love acting, visual art and singing. I'm also the voiceover of the ART31 documentary! I want to change how art is represented in the media and make it more accessible to young people.
I am based in Maidstone and am interested in music and performing arts. I have been heavily involved with Kent Music for 10 years, play the Trumpet, Orchestral Percussion & Organ, and I also sing and conduct. I am also the elected Vice-Chair of the Kent Youth County Council and am a Deputy Member of Youth Parliament, giving me a clear understanding of and influence within our Government. I love working with the young people of our county both within ART31 and with other organisations.
My name is Andre and I'm a member of the ART31 Youth Board; outside of this, I'm involved in many activities. Such as ballroom and latin dancing, rugby, boxing, football as well as acting. When I'm not doing this I'm doing modeling on the side. To me, the arts are the most important thing in the world! I owe everything to the arts without them I would not be who I am today.

After almost half a season of focusing primarily on the other characters, How I Met finally got back to the story of narrator and hopeless romantic, Ted Mosby. The lack of a Ted storyline hasn't really hurt most episodes this season, and our jump back into his love life this week felt more like a way to kick-start Ted's search for his future wife again, instead of presenting an actual, potential "Mother."
Joanna Garcia (Privileged, Freaks and Geeks) was decent as Maggie, the woman every man around seems drawn to (aside from Marshall, of course). But other than that magnetic phenomenon, we're given no reason why Ted has been obsessed with this girl for 12 years and attempted to date her at least three times in the past. Ted and Maggie don't seem to have any chemistry, and we're not even given a flashback to the college days of Maggie, Ted, Marshall and Lily to get an idea of why Ted is so into her.
Marshall's storyline felt like a bit of a retread. We've seen Marshall distraught over becoming a corporate sell-out before... and oddly none of the reasons for why he took his current high-paying job came up this episode. Originally he had to take a corporate lawyer position in order to pay for Lily's shopping addiction (which we never hear about anymore) and then to pay for their apartment. There was opportunity for some actual continuity for Marshall & Lily's story, but instead we just got Marshall feeling down about not accomplishing any of his childhood goals. The only bit that made the letter from overalls-wearing Vanilla Thunder worth it at all was the end scene, with 30-year-old Marshall writing a similar letter to 60-year-old Marshall and asking for a sign that time travel is possible. We found out that in about 30 years we'll be able to travel back in time and send free hot wings to our younger selves. Awesome.
The bright spots in the episode involved Robin and Barney. Barney's challenge to himself -- that no one could get laid wearing overalls -- was hilarious, and made all the funnier by Robin's own challenge to sit at the bar and make jokes about Barney being a farmer. Robin also had some ridiculously bizarre lines ("Look how filthy I am") when she was making her terrible attempts to seduce Maggie-obsessed Jim (Jamie Kaler, My Boys). My favorite Robin-related moment of the night, though, was when Robin told Ted, Barney and Jim that she sent Maggie home and Ted exclaimed, "You jealous bitch!" Watching Robin awkwardly and unsuccessfully flirt with someone was the most fun that character's been all season. The Robin & Barney coupling was an interesting experiment but it's good to have both characters back to their usual selves.

AWS Series: Don't you know who IAM?
Helen Anderson Updated on ・4 min read
AWS Associate Certifications (15 Part Series)
Identity and Access Management (IAM) is one of the first services you are introduced to when learning about AWS. IAM is Global, so no need to worry about regions, and is used to ensure users are only allowed access to the services that are required. Everyone shouldn't have access to everything.
Building a Policy
Interpreting the JSON
Useful Links
Exactly what you think of when you think of users in the real world. A person who uses any of the services is a user. If you are setting up your own AWS account you will begin with the root user, your first step should be creating a new User and not using the root user for day to day activities.
Users can have any combination of credentials:
- AWS access key
- X.509 certificate
- SSH key
- Password for web app logins
- MFA device
Default limits:
- 5000 per account
- 50 tags per user
- 5 SSH keys per user
A collection of users. Just like in the real world this could be a group of marketing users who need access to campaign data, finance users who need more sensitive data or customer services users who need customer data.
Default limits:
- 300 per account
This is what defines the set of permissions your users and services have. This where you decide if the 'marketing' role needs to be able to read/write to an S3 bucket, read/write to the RDS, and nothing else.
Default limits:
- 1000 per account
- 50 tags per role
These can be created through the AWS Console using the predefined policy documents or using JSON to define these on a case-by-case basis when you can't get what you need through the predefined policies.
Default limit of:
- Customer-managed policies: 1500
- Policies attached to a user: 10
- Policies attached to a role: 10
Building a Policy
Policies can be created either using the UI or by writing JSON with what you need.
David has written a comprehensive post on how to build Users, Groups and Policies using the UI
Interpreting the JSON
If you choose to write, or finely tune your policy using JSON AWS has a tool that can be used to make this simpler. Even if you do not choose to use it it can be a useful way to illustrate what goes into a policy.
There are three parts to the policy at it's most basic level:
The current version of the policy language.
In this case to Create and Delete buckets
In this case to 'Allow'. This is by default set to 'Deny' in the same way that Users have no permissions by default when they are created.
The syntax here is used to determine to ARN or Amazon Resource Name. In this case 'my_new_bucket' in S3
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
Action": [
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::my_new_bucket"
Trouble shooting
Not all services use IAM so check out the restrictions
It's important to test that the policies are doing what you think they are. Along with the tool to build your policies, AWS offers a simulator that will test your policy will do what is expected. There is a bit of set up involved but it's well worth it to make sure you are granting the right level of access to your users.
The biggest challenge is determining who needs access to what before you start creating policies. Take time to plan what your users are likely to need, and not need, to follow the principle of least privilege. But allow for some flexibility if privileges need to be elevated in future.

Great article Helen 👌
As a developer you might need to know that you will need to create EXACTLY ONE user per application (with restricted permissions).
Never ever use the root user in your app (I got $4000 bill cuz a guy in our team used it in the dev environment and mistakenly pushed into github 😨)
Uh oh... that's crazy. Did AWS waive the charge or did you have to pay up?
Lucky you! Time for some team training on never using root for daily use ... or pushing credentials to Github.
Didn't know that AWS had a simulator to test out IAM Policies, thanks @Helen
Also, witty wordplay on the title 😉

Following 2018's ironically titled 'Greatest Hits', "sparkling gloom" band Green Piece's 2019 EP 'Whatever' displays a slacker's sense of humour contrasted with some some pretty tough power pop chops. One of the best examples of their sound to date, 'Stacy's Dad' openly mocks Fountains of Wayne, at least on the surface – and fans of that band will love these guys – but scratching a little deeper, it's a track that brings together broader influences.
Tag Archives: free download
EWIGKEIT – Declassified EP
Ewigkeit's eighth album 'DISclose' drew heavily on themes of other worlds and UF-ology. Quite removed from their black metal origins, its seven songs straddled a wide range of heavy influences, taking in some old school rock and a fair amount of melodic and symphonic black metal, as well as a touch of drone and a little alternative along the way. It was a hugely accessible record considering multi-instrumentalist James Fogarty had first come to prominence as a member of In The Woods and provided you could make it past a semi-abrasive vocal, it was an album with a lot to give.
Anarcho-Punk legends Crass give away free download of compilation album…for one day only
British Anarcho punk legends are set to release a remastered version of their 'Best Before 1984' compilation today. Before release, they have a gift for fans: the whole thing can be downloaded LEGALLY and FOR FREE, but for the next few hours only.
Free download: The Peawees – 'Cause You Don't Know Me
After over two decades in the business, Italian garage rock/power pop band The Peawees have created more than a musical legacy. Their 2018 LP 'Moving Target' provided an excellent insight into the band's style – a great listen for anyone unfamiliar with the band – delivering great hook after great hook. A tribute to Phil Spector on the suitably titled 'Phil Spector' provided an album highlight on a track big on retro riffs and even bigger on sleigh bells.
A new track, 'You Don't Know Me' adds further to the band's legacy with a three minute, guitar driven blaster that combines the more commercial feel of early 90s Social Distortion with the chorus thrills of Gaslight Anthem, all wrapped up in something that pays homage to 'I Fought The Law'.
Listen: Watts return with new single 'Breaking Glass'
In October 2018, Boston rockers Watts returned with a new digital single 'Queens', a blast of guitar-driven goodness that added another piece of retro trashiness to their expanding legacy.
Moving into the new year, they've kick started 2019 by sharing another new track.

A young male sperm whale that was found dead off the coast of Spain had 30kg of garbage in its digestive system.
The 10m whale's carcass surfaced in February near a lighthouse in Cabo de Palos on Spain's southeastern coast.
A necropsy revealed that the animal had rubbish bags, polypropylene sacks, ropes, net segments and a drum, among other things, in its stomach and intestines.
Local authorities said the animal died because of inflammation of the abdominal lining, or peritonitis. The amount of human waste in its system had become so enormous that the whale was unable to expel the rubbish from its digestive system.
A picture shared by a local environmental group showed what appears to be a severely underweight sperm whale.
Authorities said the animal weighed about 7 tonnes. Male sperm whales, the largest toothed whales, could grow up to 45 tonnes. Adult female sperm whales are much lighter: 15 tonnes. They inhabit the deep ocean, can dive as deep as 600m, and feed on large squid, sharks and fish.
After the whale's death, government officials in Spain's Murcia region, where the animal was found, launched a campaign to raise awareness of humans' consumption of plastic and disposal of garbage in bodies of water.
Consuelo Rosauro, natural environment director in Murcia, said the presence of waste in seas and oceans threatens wildlife because many marine animals get trapped in the trash and ingest large amounts of plastic, which can be fatal.
Officials said the campaign includes cleaning up beaches in the Murcia region, gathering data about the type and quantity of marine litter and educational presentations.
This wasn't the first time a sperm whale turned up dead on shore, its body filled with rubbish.
At least 30 sperm whales have been found washed up on the beaches of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Denmark and Germany. Thirteen of them were found near the state of Schleswig-Holstein in northern Germany in 2016, according to National Geographic. A large amount of plastic waste, including fishing nets, a plastic car engine cover and remains of a plastic bucket, were found inside the whales' stomachs.
Last month, a 8.8m sperm whale was found dead on Indonesia's Lombok Island, east of Bali, though it's unclear how it died.
In the Philippines, the group Greenpeace Philippines installed a 14m-long replica of a dead whale on the shore of the seaside town of Naic in the northern part of the country. The structure was made of bamboo frame. Pictures taken by local media show the "dead whale's" gut spilling out, its mouth wide open and stuffed with plastic bottles.
"The Asean region's contribution to plastic pollution in the oceans cannot be ignored and is already way beyond alarming," Greenpeace Philippines's Vince Cinches said. "We are asking the Asean membership to take this issue with a sense of urgency and demand that our leaders initiate bold steps to address plastic pollution through regional cooperation, corporate responsibility and massive public education."
More than five trillion pieces of rubbish - and counting - are in the world's oceans, according to a 2014 study. Of that, nearly 270,000 tonnes of large and small plastic debris are on the surface. A study published last year found that 83 per cent of samples of water from more than a dozen nations were contaminated with plastic fibres.

Over the July 4th holiday weekend, we had the pleasure of visiting the first local brewing company in the area, River Dog Brewing Co. It was only about an 8 minute drive from our, and offers tastings and free tours. We could definitely be in trouble. My husband and I love buying local, and supporting local businesses, and when its a brewing company that just motivates us even more to support them:)
The just opened in May 2013, and have been brewing since 2012. A few locals got together and decided to try Craft beers. Now they ship their beers to local distributes all across the state. They are moving into Georgia soon, and I am sure will reach out to even more states in the coming years.
We have tried their beers at many local restaurants, but they had a few on tap that were new to us, so we decided to get a few samplers before ordering pints:)
My favorite was the Coastal Wit. Nice, refreshing and light.
The partners, offered to take us on a tour of the facility. We have been on a few brewery tours, and everyone company does it differently. This company found its name from their love of dogs. They had the most adorable pictures of their dogs in the tasting room for display! Dog lovers are truly the best!
Here are some pictures from the tour:
The also have a small event space upstairs which would be great for rehearsal dinners, engagement parties, or just a random get together!!!

The Battle of Somme was a battle in WWI fought by the armies of the British and French against the German Empire. It took place between July 1 and November 18, 1916 and it was by the Somme River. This battle was intended to get the Allies to the Western front. More than 1 million men were injured or killed in this deadly battle compared to the Civil War which only 620,000 were killed or injured. On the first day of the battle the Germans felt serious defeat, they were forced out of their position by the French Sixth Army. The first day the British suffered 56,000 casualties.
The weapons used during this bloody battle were rifles, barbed wire, machine guns, tanks, trenches, airships and the most deadly of all poison gas. The time period this took place in was a time of experimenting and trying new weapons that resulted in millions of casualties. The battle is notable for the importance of air power and the first use of the tank. They also used telephones and buried the lines under the ground to protect them from being cut off.
How did this happen? In early 1916, the French proposed a joint Franco-British offensive by the river Somme. Because of Verdun, the British army assumed the major role of the Somme offensive. Then, on July 1, 1916, the British army attacked north of the Somme while the French attacked the side and south of the Somme with five divisions. In defense, the German army deployed seven divisions. The British attack was planned by Douglas Haig and Henry Rawlinson, GOC Fourth Army.
The War affected the soldiers physically through severe injuries and often left them traumatized with 'shell shock' by the things that they had seen. WWI had a very big impact on the families. As most soldiers had gone to fight in the war, women had to replace men in the workforce. This put a lot of pressure upon the older children in the family as they had to take care of the household duties.
After the War ended, Thiepval was chosen as the location for the Memorial to the Missing to commemorate those who died in the Somme sector before the 20th of March 1918 and have no known grave. Those who died in the Somme after 20th March 1918 are commemorated at Pozieres. The Thiepval Memorial is the largest of the Memorials to the Missing. The site for the memorial was purchased in 1920 and unveiled in 1932 by the Prince of Wales. The Memorial is a massive arched structure carved on top of the pillars and towards the top of the memorial. At the time of the unveiling in 1932 there were 73,357 names were commemorated here; the slight decrease to today's number (72,116) represents the identification of the bodies who are no longer "missing".

ALBANY — Rent regulations limiting how much landlords can charge for about one million apartments in New York City and its suburbs expired on Monday night after lawmakers failed to reach an agreement on how to extend them.
With only two days left in this year's legislative session, the rent laws were one of several big-ticket issues that remained unresolved as last-minute negotiations continued.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and lawmakers have thus far also failed to reach an agreement on a number of issues central to the governor's agenda, including a tax credit meant to expand access to private schools and a policy that would change sexual consent standards on college campuses.
Also unresolved were negotiations over the future of a program that gives developers generous tax breaks in exchange for creating affordable housing.
In a statement late Monday night, Mr. Cuomo said "there will be no short-term emergency" caused by the expiration.
"While the Legislature needs to act immediately," he said, "New York tenants should know that this state government will have zero tolerance for landlords that seek to exploit those who live in rent regulated units."
The atmosphere in the Capitol has been tense in recent days, as politicians blamed each other for the lack of action. On Monday, lawmakers and aides shuttled between meetings hoping to reach deals on some of the more substantial subjects. While no one emerged from these discussions with a deal, the parties seemed to be moving toward agreement on some issues late Monday, according to one person involved in the talks who was unwilling to speak on the record because of the sensitive nature of the discussions.
Adding to the political consternation was that Mr. Cuomo, a Democrat, has sought to link the passage of rent legislation with the approval of the education tax credit. But the Assembly, controlled by Democrats, has steadfastly opposed the tax credit, and has insisted that rent regulations be considered separately.
A prime example of Albany's intransigence was the maneuvering around rent regulations. The Assembly passed an extension bill that would give lawmakers two more days to reach an agreement.
Democrats in the Assembly have been pushing to extend and strengthen the regulations in an effort to slow the speed at which apartments categorized as rent-stabilized are converted to market rates.
An apartment could become deregulated when the rent reaches $2,500 and it becomes vacant, under a provision known as "vacancy decontrol."Assembly Democrats have proposed getting rid of vacancy decontrol and the governor has suggested either eliminating it or raising the threshold to $2,700.
The Senate, controlled by Republicans, opted not to pass a short-term extension. In a narrowly divided vote around 10 p.m., it passed its own proposal that provided an eight-year extension but left vacancy decontrol intact.
Despite their differences on Monday, lawmakers were still expected to reach some kind of agreement on extending rent regulations before they ultimately left the capital.
In the short term, the expiration of rent laws will have little effect on tenants. Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday said he would not tolerate any incidents of landlord harassment and encouraged tenants to report such cases. The governor on Sunday issued a similar warning, in writing, to landlords.
"If anyone is concerned that they may be put in jeopardy because of the inaction in Albany, that their lease may be canceled or that they may be harassed, call 311 and we will get you the help you need," Mr. de Blasio said.
The Senate majority leader, John J. Flanagan, a Long Island Republican, downplayed the significance of the short-term lapse in the rent laws. "Do I think anything tumultuous or crazy is going to happen overnight?" he asked. "Absolutely not."

When checking the pictures from our summer camp, one might think that it's all about fishing, watersports and boozing. That's actually mostly true... but we have gotten something done here musicwise too! And hey, we never said this is a band camp, it's a SUMMER CAMP!!! =)
Last weekend Marco abandoned us three here to take care of his responsibilities with Tarot and Northern Kings. We decided to rehearse the last piece, a monster of a song and to go through parts of the other songs that we yet didn't feel 100% satisfied with. We came up with plenty of little tricks that bring some needed final edge to the songs; some overlong fills, little breaks and some little time signature changes. The last song turned out to be a great tune that would have enough parts for three full songs, but which still forms a tight entirety of fast riffing, slow, beautiful mood and heavy-duty-rhythm.
On Monday we took a day off and headed to the lake with a professional fishing team. You've probably already seen some of the catches from the picture section. It's encouraging to see that fishing is not just a matter of good luck. Knowledge and the gear has a big effect on the results. But of course, to catch a real big one you need a little blessing from above…
On Thursday we went to see a baseball match of KIPA-90, our local pride. The team played really well, but unfortunately the opponent was slightly better. It's already the end of the season and at the very moment of writing this diary the last game ended in defeat so for us the season is over. But the team showed great potential and hopefully next year we hold the cup.
On the weekend we had some friends coming over, including Sami Vänskä and we spent a weekend full of watersports, darts and laughter. The best activity being seated in a "doughnut"and going with full speed behind the boat. You know it's real good when fun and pure terror meet in a midway... I also finally got myself to try water skiing with just one water ski, and to everybody's surprise I nailed it on a first try! What a mighty feeling it was! JIHAA!!!
Now we are taking time off until Thursday. Once in a while it's good to take some distance to the songs to have a fresh view.
Take care now, bye bye then!
TOP 5 / Week 5
1. The mighty sportsman with just one ski!!!
2. Taking over the last song
3. Fishing trip with the pros
4. Feeding Harri "The camp spider"
5. Ruska - lingonberry wine - for exquisite taste!

BAGHDAD — More than 50 people were killed Saturday in Iraq in attacks that struck a Shiite Muslim gathering, a police checkpoint and the family of a Sunni paramilitary leader opposed to the Islamic State, security and medical officials said.
The attacks took place as Iraqi forces were preparing to launch an offensive to take back Mosul, the last Iraqi city still under control of the Islamic State in the northern part of the country.
The heaviest toll was caused by a suicide bomber who detonated explosives in the middle of a Shiite gathering in Baghdad, killing at least 41 people and wounding 33. The explosion went off inside a tent filled with people taking part in Shiite Ashura rituals, which mourn the killing of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson Hussein in the seventh century.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in an online statement.
Some people were also in the tent to mourn the death of a local resident, the authorities said. The tent was set up in a crowded market in the Shaab district in northern Baghdad.
Major Islamic State Attacks in Baghdad
As the Islamic State loses territory, it is shifting to insurgent tactics in Baghdad.
Earlier in the day, gunmen believed to belong to the Islamic State, a Sunni group, staged two attacks north of Baghdad: one against a police checkpoint and the other at the house of a Sunni militia chief who supported the government, the police said.
Eight police officers were killed and 11 others were wounded in the first attack, which took place in Mutaibija, south of the city of Tikrit. Three militants were killed.
In the second attack north of Baghdad, the wife and three children of Numan al-Mujamaie, the leader of the Ishaqi Mobilization militia, were killed when gunmen stormed their house in the town of Ishaq. Mr. Mujamaie was not home at the time.
The assailants fled after the attack and were chased by members of the security forces. They later killed themselves by detonating explosives attached to their bodies, the police said.
The Islamic State has increased the number of bombings and attacks in government-held areas this year as it loses territory to Iraqi government forces backed by the United States and Shiite militias supported by Iran.
The group claimed responsibility for a truck bombing in July that killed more than 300 people in the Karrada shopping area of Baghdad, the single deadliest attack in Iraq since the American-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein in 2003.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|First Impressions Phoenix
Last update - It turns out that the flyers didn't work for me. I put out a total of 1600 flyers (3 different flyers) and placed them in about 7 or 8 different neighborhoods from middle class to upper, upper middle class.
I got one for sure re-occuring client
I got 2 one time cleanings
I received 5 or 6 calls from the flyers
It takes about one hour to hand out 50 flyers so about 32 hours spent doing flyer delivery.
When I did this business the first time, 20 years ago, if I had handed out 1600 flyers I would have gotten about 16 new re-occuring clients. Ah...the internet has changed everything.
So I got a job as a taxi driver and will now concentrate on my commercial cleaning business. I know given enough time that, that will work.
|Great share! useful information right here!
|This is awesome data. Thanks for sharing it, and keep us updated
|First Impressions Phoenix
Flyers delivered today: 100 Total 850
Stats so far from flyer delivery:
Repeat clients (for sure): 1
One time cleanings: 2
Calls that didn't lead to cleanings: 2
So far the numbers are a little disappointing. Looks like I will have to do the Grant Cordone idea and 10X it. Instead of 5,000 flyers, I will have to do 50,000. Sounds impossible, but doable given enough time.
|First Impressions Phoenix
|200 more flyers done today. Going back out this evening to do more. 750 total flyers delivered.
|First Impressions Phoenix
update Nov. 12 2016
I basically am starting my count from 250 due to the typo I had in the flyer I was handing out.
Today I door hung about 300 flyers. I received one new client call from flyers while hanging them. Set up an every other week cleaning of a 3/2 home.
So far from the flyers I have one every other week client, one monthly client, one move out cleaning (done) and one potential every other week client that cancelled because I don't yet have someone working with me and the cleaning would take too long.
I will be handing out flyers again tomorrow (Sunday) after a one-time mid day cleaning that I got from Thumbtack a while back.
|Don, that sounds great that you found a marketing strategy with good ROI. Have you thought about hiring a couple of high school kids and increasing your reach?
|First Impressions Phoenix
Flyer update - I just noticed that the flyers I have handed out have a major typo I'm actually surprised that I got any response. I've fixed the typo and will hand out fresh flyers tomorrow. Don

Flyers, my experiences in getting new residential cleaning clients
Hi All,
I noticed that a lot of posters are wondering how to get new clients, so I thought I would give you my "blow-by-blow" experiences.
I started my business in August of this year. Although I am most interested in commercial cleaning I need to have residential cleanings (easier to get) to pay the bills while growing the commercial side.
I was using Thumbtack to get cleanings for several months, but ran out of money to use Thumbtack. At this point I am happy that this happened. Now I can go get new clients without dealing with so much competition. Competition that was forcing my prices to be too low to have a viable business.
From reading on this forum I found that most flyer promotions were producing a 1/2% return or a little better. So 200 flyers delivered should produce one actual new client.
I decided to hand out 5000 flyers based upon these numbers. 5000 flyers should produce 25 new clients. Hopefully most will be reoccurring cleanings.
So far over a 3 day period I handed out 450 flyers. (my aching feet )
I received 3 calls from those flyers, strangely all in a two hour period. One was a move out cleaning (done, paid $145), one was a monthly cleaning (first cleaning done $75) and a potential every other week client. That didn't work as she wanted more than one person at a time cleaning due to time constraints.
So far the numbers have worked. When I get back from handing out flyers, I will post copies of my flyers (two different types - one amusing and one serious - didn't seem to matter which one I used) for you to use / modify if you want.

With the November elections behind us, the way has been paved for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to be fully implemented. For states and federal agencies, that means they have only 11 more months to prepare for millions of uninsured people to start signing up for coverage under the new healthcare exchanges, with open enrollment scheduled to begin October 1, 2013. Coverage under the new exchanges will be effective January 1, 2014, and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that 22 million people will buy coverage through the public exchange system by 2016.
Tags: ppaca, cobra administration, COBRA software, health care reform, HR issues
With open enrollment underway, many employers are once again feeling the strain of rising health care premiums. Some are exploring cost-shifting opportunities, others are looking at employee-directed options and wellness education and the rest are just tightening their belts.

Every year during open enrollment a few unsuspecting companies make a big HR mistake: They unwittingly allow their COBRA administration program to change along with their benefits plans. Sometimes it's because the carrier recommends a different COBRA administrator. Sometimes it's because a broker is offering free COBRA software. And sometimes, the broker and the HR team aren't even conscious that the change is occurring because the COBRA administration was a free service provided by the old health insurance carrier.

As the insurance industry continues to prepare for the upcoming Supreme Court ruling on healthcare reform, due out any time, there's at least one thing everyone agrees on: the rules have changed forever.
Tags: cobra administration, COBRA software, employee benefit brokers
Every year, a large percentage of employers make a serious mistake when they change health plans. It's not an intentional mistake – in fact, employers often don't even realize what they're doing until it's too late. What is this costly mistake that leaves many an HR professional weeping with regret after the New Year? It is automatically changing COBRA administrators just because there's a change in the health plan provider.
It's the first of the year and your new benefit plans are going into effect. Are your new COBRA administration services starting as well?

(Edited 9:49 PM, 5/4/19)LYNN, Mass. – Second-seeded Saint Joseph's College (31-9) defeated #1 Suffolk University (23-17-1), 3-1, in the winners' bracket game of the 2019 Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) Baseball Tournament at Fraser Field on Saturday afternoon.
With the win, Saint Joseph's advances to the conference championship game and will face #3 Johnson & Wales tomorrow at Fraser Field at 12:00 PM. The Wildcats defeated top-seeded Suffolk, 2-0, in a losers' bracket contest this evening.
As the lone undefeated team remaining in the double-elimination GNAC Tournament, the Monks will have a second chance to claim the crown if they should fall in the 12:00 PM game, as an if-necessary contest is scheduled for 3:30 PM.
All the scoring occurred in the first inning, as the Monks plated three runs off three hits and a Suffolk error in the top and the Rams scored a run off two hits in the bottom of the opening frame.
Senior shortstop Joey Murphy (Derry, N.H.) led off the winners' bracket contest with a single to center field and later scored on a Drew Healey (Rochester, N.H.) base hit to right field. With two out and runners on first and second, senior first baseman Noah McDaniel (Eliot, Maine) delivered a base hit to left field, sending Jared Gagne (Dover, N.H.) and Healey across the plate to make it a 3-0 game.
In the bottom of the first, junior Rich Gilbride (Beverly, Mass.) singled to right field and moved to second when Trevor Lee (Flanders, N.J.) worked a walk before scoring on a Blasé Cormier (Wayland, Mass.) base hit.
Suffolk had runners on first and third with nobody out but a costly baserunning blunder helped SJC sophomore starter Zach Begin (Georgetown, Mass.) escape further damage. Sophomore center fielder Will Hopkins (Old Rochester, Mass.) was up next and lined out to SJC second baseman Drew Healey, who quickly threw to first to nab Cormier, who was a bit too ambitious with his secondary lead.
Neither team managed to advance a runner past second base for the remainder of the contest, but the Rams had a chance to make things interesting in the bottom of the ninth. With runners on first and second and one out, sophomore catcher Shane Lake (West Roxbury, Mass.) hit a sharp grounder down the third base line, but freshman Ronan Chisholm (North Chatham, Mass.) snagged the ball, stepped on third, and fired to second for the game-ending double play.
- SJC starter Zach Begin improves to 6-0 on the season after striking out seven while allowing a run off five hits and five walks in a dominant complete-game performance
- Suffolk senior Kevin Sinatra (East Boston, Mass.) also tossed a complete game and allowed three runs (one earned) off six hits and a walk with five K's over nine frames
- Murphy went 2-for-4 with a run scored
- McDaniel was 1-for-3 with a pair of RBI

Q. An elderly friend's husband is near death and will soon enter into hospice care. Is it more appropriate to call or to write my friend during this time?
A. It is fine to call and tell your friend that you are thinking of her, are sad for her, and would like to help in any way you can, and then ask her what you can do to be of help. It is important for friends to show they care and for the anxious or bereaved to know they are cared about.

Samsung debuted its newest flagship smartphone on Wednesday, revealing the highly-anticipated Galaxy S8 device as the tech giant tries to rebound from a disastrous Note 7 launch last fall.
The Galaxy S8 comes in two sizes — the 5.7-inch S8 and the 6.2-inch S8+ — and will hit store shelves in the U.S. on April 21. Pricing varies depending on carriers — AT&T, Cricket Wireless, Sprint, Straight Talk Wireless, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon will sell it — but T-Mobile and AT&T, for example, will sell the S8 for $750 and S8+ for $850. Both devices are available for pre-order on March 30.
The most noticeable new S8 design feature is the lack of bezels on the front of device and removal of capacitive buttons, giving users a more clean surface area with slightly-curved corners. The home button is invisible, and the fingerprint reader has been moved to the back of the phone. Samsung calls this "Infinity Design."
"It is a new era of smartphone design," Samsung Mobile Chief DJ Koh said at a launch event in New York City.
One key part of the new design is how it allows a larger display without increasing the overall size of the phone.
"The S8, for example, is smaller than an S7 Edge but not much bigger than an iPhone 7 — despite the fact that it has a bigger screen than both of those phones," The Verge noted.
Also unique to the S8 is Samsung's new digital assistant Bixby, which is built into the device and can perform tasks within apps via voice commands. Bixby features context-aware functionality that lets it utilize voice and touch. It will rival Apple's Siri; Amazon's Alexa; Microsoft's Cortana; and other digital voice assistants powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, though Bixby is different because it is built to help users navigate around the device itself.
The S8 has several Bixby-enabled apps. Samsung plans to open up the digital assistant to third party developers in the future. The company also has plans to expand Bixby to everything from TVs to appliances.
Other specs for the S8, which comes in midnight black, orchid grey, coral blue, arctic silver, and maple gold:
- 8MP F1.7 autofocus front camera and 12MP F1.7 Dual Pixel rear camera
- Iris scanner
- 10nm processor
- IP68 water and dust resistance
- MicroSD support up to 256GB
- Always-on display
- Fast and wireless charging capabilities
The device is also the first phone on T-Mobile's network capable of "gigabit-class speeds," as GeekWire reported earlier Wednesday. It also comes bundled with a pair of Harman AKG headphones.
Here are some initial reviews from around the web:
- "The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the sexiest phone ever made, and it also looks to be one of the smartest" — Tom's Guide
- "The Samsung Galaxy S8 is the nicest phone I've ever held … and that might not be enough to make it stand out anymore." — The Verge
- "But elegant as it is in metal and glass, the S8 (and larger S8 Plus) is also the first marquee Samsung phone in a long time that leaves me with uneasy doubts." — CNET
Samsung also on Wednesday unveiled the new Gear VR with Controller, which will sell for $129.99 on April 21; the motion-sensing controller will also be sold separately for $39.99. Those who pre-order the S8 will receive the Gear VR with Controller for free.
There's also the new Samsung Dex, a new dock for desktop computers, and a new Samsung Gear 360 camera.
Samsung will hope that this smartphone launch goes more smoothly than what happened with its Galaxy Note 7 device, which was recalled globally this past October after battery issues caused the phone to catch fire. In addition to costing the company more than $5 billion, the disaster tarnished some consumer trust. Still, Samsung posted record earnings for Q4 2016, thanks in part to its chip business.
The Verge reported that Samsung expanded its battery-testing processes in the wake of what happened last year.

Notebooking for Next Year
Most of the presentations I made were at the requests of other teachers, not administration. To me those are the better presentations. I find teachers tend to be more receptive to ideas if they are suggested by another teacher as opposed to administration (to which the general reaction is...."Great something else we are being asked to do/try!" :)
If you are thinking about trying notebooking next year, or if you have started this year and would like to share your experiences with other teachers in your school, NOW is the time to speak at a facility meeting or a team meeting (feel free to download the PowerPoint I put together and can be found under the "video" label). This would give other teachers time to start thinking about it and possibly plan over the summer. If it is something that is introduced at the beginning of the school year, or mid school year, the chances of it actually being implemented goes down.
Don't be discouraged if nobody else in your school or team looks enthusiastic. Notebooking will not work if the teacher is not enjoying it (which is the last thing I say when I present). My suggestion is to keep notebooking and enjoy it (and share it)! Hopefully other teachers and administrators will notice your enthusiasm, student engagement/work, and increased test scores and will jump on the notebooking train :)

I am currently subbing in DoDEA schools. I am "planning" to have a classroom next year (positive thoughts). I want to know more about your notebooking (loved the duct tape idea, btw). Any suggestions on where to learn more? I will start with your ppt. Thanks for the GREAT ideas to a teacher that is trying to stay current in the classroom.

So, being new to "blogging," my comment didn't stick! I am so glad you are sharing about notebooking. I want to try it and know nothing about it. I will start with your ppt. I am currently subbing in a DoDEA school and hope to have my own classroom next year and I want to get a jump start. Any suggestions on where to learn more about notebooking? Thanks again for sharing such great info. I look forward to reading more!
