I didn't go whole hog into Spring Centers this time, just because we had a field trip scheduled for that Friday. However, we celebrated a bit on Thursday, so I wanted to share what we did!
First, my team put together an egg hunt that was a review for Science and History. Students had a numbered sheet, 1-20, and had to work in partners and find each egg, read the slip inside, write the answer on their sheet, and put the egg back.
I don't know why...maybe it was the excitement, the fullish moon, the field trip the next day...but my students had the worst time putting the eggs back where they found them! Some would be holding clues in their hand, with no idea where the egg was! The bad thing was, we were FIRST! We finally got it all settled and taken care of but...whew!
Since it was our math time, we came in and did our usual math rotation, except with a twist. We usually do a group/independent/center rotation (the center this year being with my assistant, who does different activities with the students....when students finish their independent work at their seat, they have time for centers...each rotation is 30 minutes or so).
With my assistant, they created bookmarks with fun foam spring stickers (Dollar Tree!) and had to write on the back the fraction of what each item was (to emphasize parts of a set!). With me, they had two activities: Estimation Station and a fraction activity using spring erasers (also from Dollar Tree!). I've included them both here, and you can also click on them and find them as a free download on TpT!
So, know Easter's over, but if you'd like to use them after break or for next year ;) feel free! The kids had a lot of fun with them! It was a fun way to review fractions....I' m also going to be posting my fraction centers on TpT that we're going to use on Monday to ease us back in from a week off! If you'd like a free copy of the fraction centers, be one of the first three to comment and leave your email address!
The emphasis is on recognizing fractions, determining the denominator and numerator, and being able to represent fractions! Included are 4 different games that use fraction tiles, fraction dice, cubes/colored blocks, two-colored chips and a "graffiti wall." If you don't have those manipulatives, I've either included a link to a free download, or provided them in the packet.

Even though it took me all week to get these photos, I knew right away what it was I wanted to do for them. I just had to get all the ducks in a row and cross my fingers that I could!
I knew exactly what I wanted to do for this theme, I just had to recruit a cute little family and create a backdrop. Finally I had a few minutes to throw it together. In the foreground we have all the things people give for Valentine's gifts: Flowers, stuffed animals, candy, chocolate and in the back we have this cute family. To me that is what love is…. family and this one is growing by 2 feet!
I knew right away what I would attempt for this theme.
My brother always refers to my daughter as my "mini me". As soon as I mentioned the theme to Shantel, she had the same thought. She was a good sport.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Dapat Baby Girl
..NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has given birth to a baby girl, her husband Abhishek Bachchan announced on Twitter on Wednesday.
While the baby's father just said "it's a girl," her proud grandfather Amitabh Bachchan -- a veteran actor and head of Bollywood's most famous family -- could barely contain his joy.
"I AM DADA (grandfather) to the cutest baby girl!!" the 69-year-old Bachchan tweeted.
No further details were immediately available.
Rai, 38, a former Miss World, has been married to actor Abhishek Bachchan for more than four years and the star couple had been fending off baby rumours for months before the pregnancy was confirmed in June.
The Bollywood actress had been expected to give birth to her first child in November, and the Indian media followed her pregnancy obsessively.
She was admitted to a Mumbai hospital on Monday night.
Rai, who often features on "most beautiful" lists, won the Miss World crown in 1994. She went on to build a successful Bollywood career with hits such as "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and "Devdas."
She has also worked in Hollywood films such as "The Pink Panther 2" and is a regular at the Cannes film festival.
This is the third grandchild for Amitabh Bachchan. His daughter Shweta has two children.

The chrome potato has proven me wrong.
I'll admit it, I was highly unimpressed by the Buick Encore when it arrived several years ago. The squat shape and Buick's traditional chrome-laden design cues - porthole vents, shiny wheels etc. - seemed an awkward fit for GM's near-luxury brand.
Except I was wrong, people love the Encore. The market for small SUVs and crossovers is booming and last year this little cute-ute was Buick's best-selling vehicle. In fact, combined with the larger Enclave, SUVs accounted for 60-percent of all Buick sales here in the U.S.
So here I am, faced with the updated 2017 Encore at the New York Auto Show. And yes, I'm willing to take a fresh look at the vehicle I once called a "chrome potato."
To be fair, the Encore has always been a fairly nice small SUV to drive. This is probably why Buick hasn't dramatically altered the mechanicals for the 2017 model year. A choice of front- and all-wheel-drive is available, along with a pair of turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinders. Buick says the entry-level version (in front-wheel-drive format) will return fuel economy ratings of 25 city/34 highway. Horsepower ratings have not been released, however.
Crisper lines, a reprofiled front grill, and LED lighting help distinguish the 2017 Encore from previous models. The sharper exterior lines lend a more dignified air to this small SUV which, I'll admit, certainly looks less spud-like than it once did. Look closely and you'll also see that Buick has (finally!) removed the faux porthole vents along the hood. I like retro, but those looked all sorts of wrong on the previous Encore.
Most Read
The cabin has been freshened, too. A larger infotainment screen dominates the center of the dash, while the overall layout has been cleaned up and decluttered of buttons. Leather and soft-touch surfaces are located in more of the places you look and touch.
On-board tech is upgraded via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, not to mention the latest iteration of GM's On Star 4G LTE Wi-Fi that can keep up to seven devices purring along down the information superhighway.
Safety features fitted to the Encore will include items such as blind spot warning, rear cross-traffic alerts, lane departure warning, forward collision alarm, park assist and more. Small doesn't mean less safe in this little Buick.
Sales begin later this year, and expect the base price to start close to the 2016 model's entry-point of $23,000.

Kankhal Medical Aid
Reg. Charity No. 1084554
127 Church Road
12th March 2012
Dear Member & Friend,
This is a special year for the charity. We have been running for 20 years and have had good support from you - our members and generous donors.
Last year, for the first time, we were able to send £10,000 to the hospital for the impoverished and needy patients of the area surrounding the hospital. Our special thanks to Mrs Tyagi for raising £310 at her fundraising lunch.
The Swamis at the hospital are very grateful. Swamiji has repeated his appeal for more funds in his last letter of thanks and appreciation. 'This is really a formidable help for this Sevashram at a time when the patient population is soaring…patients are coming not just from the neighbouring villages of UP, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana – but also from Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.'
This year we hope to send at least 10,000 – if possible, more - to the Sevashram.
Our efforts raise only a small amount of the expenditure that the hospital incurs on a daily basis. We must keep up – and increase - the fundraising; for this we need your help. If you have any fundraising ideas, we would love to hear from you.
We have 2 fundraising events coming up soon. On 22nd April, Bratin Roy, one of our members, is running the London Marathon again this year to raise funds for us and for Macmillan Nurses. His employers match all funds he raises, so whatever we raise we get back. Donations can be made online on virginmoneygiving.com/BratinRoy or you can send a cheque payable to Kankhal Medical Aid to Benu Roy and she can forward it.
The next event has been set for Saturday 12th May at Maidenhead. It would be lovely to see you there. For those of you who have not been to one of these nights, it is a very relaxing evening – a superb performance, a 3 course meal, and informal dancing. Please see attached flyer for details.
Please come, bring your friends and show your support.
Roma Hoon O.B.E., Secretary
Benu Roy, Treasurer
* Just a little reminder – please send in your membership (£15) if you have not done so yet. Thank you to all those members who have set up a standing order.

Pokemon GO may be teasing an upcoming legendary event with in-game clues. The rumored teasers come not long after Niantic hinted at a 'legendary' summer for its massively popular mobile game.
According to APK teardowns, Niantic may have made big changes to rare Pokemon GO character Unown. Niantic has reportedly made all forms of Unown (the Pokemon can represent every letter in the alphabet) part of the local game files. This would make Unown pose less of a strain on a Pokemon GO player's data when loaded. Data from third-party Pokemon GO trackers is also said to show a small uptick in appearances of the typically quite rare Pokemon.
While this information isn't hugely significant on its own, some have pointed out that in Pokemon Gold and Silver, Unown showed up alongside the Ruins of Alph puzzles, which were used to unlock "unobtainable" Pokemon. There is also speculation that Niantic could ask players to spell out the word 'legendary' with Unown and that's why the developer has not only made the Pokemon more common but that's why it has reduced the data-strain too. It may also be why the company has stopped Pokemon GO cheaters from seeing rare Pokemon.
Admittedly, this could well be a case of someone putting two and two together and getting five. However, it does show just how enthusiastic fans are about a possible legendary event.
To fans' credit, Niantic has explicitly stated that legendary Pokemon will be added to the game at some point, with CEO John Hanke suggesting that legendaries could be introduced to Pokemon GO soon. The Niantic executive has even confirmed that the developer is thinking carefully about how to implement the rare characters, including how they can be used for Pokemon GO Gyms. Given the existing issues with Gyms, it's good to know that prolonged legendary takeovers won't need to be added to that list of problems.
As excitement rages on, all that's left to do now is wait. Hopefully legendaries will be added by the time summer rolls around, giving everybody a chance to take advantage of the good weather as they try to catch 'em all. But fans have been waiting so long for the characters that summer or not, many will just be excited to see them in the wild at all.
Pokemon GO is available for iOS and Android.

(Madewood Brothers #2)
by Gina Gordon
ARC Review
Published: November 25, 2013, Entangled: Brazen
My rating: 4 of 5 ⭐
As an outlet for a recent loss and old demons toying with his peace of mind, Madewood heir and chef Neil Harrison blows off steam on his bike. When women and sex don't do the trick anymore, he turns to illegal street racing. Something he has been able to keep to himself, until Carson shows up at one of his races.
Architect Carson Kelly is employed by Neil, building the Madewood Farm, a fine dining and event establishment on a gorgeous ten-acre property. Despite the obvious attraction, her relationship with Neil has always been rather confrontational. She has to be tough to prove herself in a male dominated world, especially after making some pretty devastating mistakes when she was younger. Her father, and owner of Kelly Designs, never let her forget.
Which is exactly why she was there at the street race, trying to stop Neil from making the same stupid mistakes. Neil is intrigued with Carson's no bullshit attitude, not to mention the whole biker chick persona, but senses there is more at play here and is determined to find out more. When the two embark on a passionate affair, supposedly to distract Neil from the need to race they both put their professional lives in the scale.
Before long family entanglements, personal insecurities and professional exposure catch up with Carson and Neil and their 'involvement' has become more involved than either of them had planned on.
A short VERY spicy and compelling read!!
The story hits the floor running. Right off the bat you jump into a backstory you have to catch up with, and you will.......give it a bit of time. I actually love stories that throw you right in the middle of the action, rather than slowly setting the scene.....this one, you get thrown in the deep end, so to speak. It keeps you engaged right from the start.
It does mean that the characters are further along in their connection with each other than you may be ready for, but you have to allow for that in this type of set up. The context for each of the protagonists, and my connection with and understanding of them came eventually.
For a relatively short story, each of the characters was well fleshed out. Neil obviously has fear, self esteem and trust issues, which are not surprising given his background. Believing you are deserving of something can be difficult to get your head around. Carson was fighting a losing battle, she could never become the son she thinks her father would have preferred, no matter how hard she strives to be the best Alpha she can be. She has to learn to fight for herself, for her own approval and love, not others'.
Interesting about the dynamic between the two characters is the juggling for dominance at times. With Carson trying so hard to be seen and heard in a man's world, she has taken on a lot of the traits of a traditional Alpha and Neil is instinctively one, which makes for some fiery encounters.
This was actually a story I would not have minded seeing spread out a little longer.....over more pages. I think there was still some room for exploration!!
And what is it, about a hot and dominant man who knows his way around the kitchen that makes my panties melt???
✨A charged, provocative and lip-licking good read!!✨

We're a hawk on the issues.
Carson Uses 'Rabid Dog' Analogy Discussing Syrian Refugees
Republican presidential Ben Carson is talking crazy again. A common theme for a man that accused the Chinese of invading Syria.
Now, Carson is comparing Syrian refugees to rabid dogs.
"We must always balance safety against just being a humanitarian," Carson said. "For instance, if there's a rabid dog running around your neighborhood, you're probably not going to assume something good about that dog, and you're probably going to put your children out of the way. It doesn't mean you hate all dogs by any stretch of the imagination, but you're putting intellect into motion and thinking, 'How do I protect my children?'"
"At the same time, I love dogs and will call Humane Society and hopefully they can come take this dog away and create a safe environment once again," Carson continued. "By the same token, we have to have in place screening mechanisms that allow us to determine who the mad dogs are, quite frankly, who are the people who want to come in here and hurt us and destroy us. Until we know how to do that, just like it would be foolish to put your child out in the neighborhood knowing that's going on, it's foolish for us to accept that."
The Hill reports:
It's an analogy that will likely give more ammunition to Carson's critics, who have questioned his foreign policy expertise. The retired neurosurgeon has stumbled on some national security questions in the wake of the terror attacks in France.
Carson also made another controversial assertion on Thursday, arguing that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) poses a greater threat to the U.S. today than al Qaeda did in 2001, when terrorists killed thousands of Americans in a series of coordinated hijackings.
"[Al Qaeda] weren't nearly as developed as [ISIS] are now at that point. … ISIS is so much greater a threat to us than that was," Carson said.
Carson sought to diminish the sophistication of the 9/11 terrorists.
"Being responsible for what happened on 9/11 didn't require a great deal of sophistication because we were not paying attention or coordinating efforts," Carson said. "You didn't have to be that great. You had to fly planes and get people in here. You're going to have to be a lot more sophisticated to do that now."

Officials charge 3 men linked to shark dragging video incident
Officials from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and prosecutors from the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office announced Tuesday that three men were charged in connection to a video that surfaced in July that shows a shark being dragged behind a speeding boat. The three men were named in a FWC press release: Michael Wenzel, 21, and Spencer Heintz, 23, of Palmetto; and Robert Lee Benac, 28, of Bradenton.
Each face two felony counts of aggravated animal cruelty while Wenzel and Benac will also face a misdemeanor count of illegal method of taking a shark.
"As we've said since this video and other images came to light, these actions have no place in Florida, where we treasure and conserve our natural resources for everyone," FWC chairman Bo Rivard said in a statement. "We appreciate the patience and support of the public as our law enforcement investigators worked with the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office to identify a number of serious violations that will be brought to the courts for adjudication. It is our hope these charges will send a clear message to others that this kind of behavior involving our fish and wildlife will not be tolerated."
FWC said that the charges stemmed from a four-month long investigation into the video and "other disturbing images on social media involving shocking disregard for Florida's natural resources."
CBS affiliate WJAX-TV reports that Florida Gov. Rick Scott released a statement after the charges were announced: "I was outraged by the sickening video of a shark being horribly abused earlier this year. Florida has no tolerance for this mistreatment, and I am proud of the hard work of FWC law enforcement during this investigation to hold these individuals accountable for their horrific actions."
FWC says investigators conducted exhaustive research into the suspects' social media activity, conducted numerous interviews and spoke with a number of subject matter experts on sharks.
The video, which was sent to South Florida shark hunter Mark "the Shark" Quartiano, has angered people across South Florida and elsewhere.
The clip gained attention after Quartiano reposted and criticized it on his Instagram page, adding the hashtags #sowrong and #notcool.

Empowering Consumers and Improving Healthcare Value with Provider Quality Ratings
Sep 06, 2016
While consumers are increasingly expected to take the lead in major healthcare decisions such as where to have surgery, "in 1938 we knew more about the safety of a hair permanent, and in 2013 we knew more about the safety of laundry detergent, than we do in 2016 about procedures such as total joint replacement," noted Steven Schutzer, MD, Medical Director of Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute and President of Connecticut Joint Replacement Surgeons, LLC, at an April 29 breakfast program of the Connecticut Health Council in Hartford.
The Council's program, "Provider Quality Ratings: Consumer Use and Marketplace Change," examined the potential of provider quality ratings to help consumers and providers achieve more healthcare value. Doris Peter, PhD, Director of the Consumer Reports (CR) Health Ratings Center, gave the keynote address.
CR is perhaps best known as a magazine that tests and rates products from insect repellent to cars, but it also publishes ratings of hospitals, heart surgeon groups and more. The goal, says Dr. Peter, is to empower consumers in their decision making - but the organization also sees itself as holding providers accountable for their performance.
Healthcare safety is a high-stakes proposition and, according to Dr. Peter, it is also healthcare consumers' top concern. Dr. Peter recalled the example of John McCleary, who died from a hospital-acquired MRSA infection following an ankle fracture - one of more than 75,000 deaths each year from healthcare-acquired infections. Cases like this are why the Health Ratings Center created its Hospital Safety Score, which reflects the rate of hospital-acquired infection, readmission and mortality; communication about drugs and discharge; and other factors.
A nonprofit organization, CR is respected among healthcare consumers, providers and payers alike for its impartiality because it does not accept advertising or corporate donations. Because CR's Health Ratings Center can't directly test healthcare procedures, it relies on outside data gathered through collaboration with organizations such as The Leapfrog Group (for C-section rates) and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS, for bypass surgery performance data), as well as public sources of data (like CMS, and state departments of health). It has also worked with quality collaboratives across the country to collate data on local primary care physician groups.
CR and its collaborators face a number of challenges in collecting and analyzing provider data, including issues with data quality and timeliness, sample sizes, and changes in technology and billing models. In some cases, providers deliberately choose not to report certain data - which ultimately deprives consumers of information they need to make wise decisions.
"In situations where reporting is voluntary, we know why hospitals are not reporting data [mainly due to low ratings] and when they don't, we will tell [consumers] to find another place to go. And STS backs us up on this," noted Dr. Peter. Even so, she said, the focus is on driving conversations: "We're not trying to get in the middle of the provider-patient relationship; we're trying to enhance that relationship."
Even with optimal data quality, transparency and access, translating provider quality ratings into consumer action is often easier said than done, noted Dr. Peter. Healthcare consumers often have limited ability to choose or change providers, and payment models do not always reward a focus on quality. She also pointed out that consumerism - or as she put it, "financial 'skin in the game'" - has its limits. "The more we shift the cost burden to the consumer, the less they are actually using both high value and low value services," and even medical professionals themselves are skipping preventive screenings.
She hopes the future will bring shared, unbiased quality and cost information, deeper consumer engagement, and more research into the comparative effectiveness of different treatment interventions and approaches to payment.
Dr. Peter's remarks were followed by a panel discussion with experts including Sudeep Bansal, MD, MS, Chief Medical Informatics & Quality Officer, Saint Francis HealthCare Partners; Carol Carlson, CPA, MBA, Vice President, Market Engagement, UnitedHealthcare Health Care Measurement & Engagement Group; Paul Grady, MBA, Partner, Mercer; and Vicki Veltri, JD, LLM, Healthcare Advocate, State of Connecticut.
The program was sponsored by Connecticut Joint Replacement Institute at Saint Francis, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center and Connecticut Children's Medical Center.

Doocy Cleans Up His Plagiarism Act
Reported by Judy - January 3, 2007 -
Does somebody at Fox News read Newshounds? Or did Steve Doocy suddenly have an urge to quote as many newspapers as he could besides The New York Times?
On "Fox and Friends" on Tuesday, Doocy ridiculed the idea of reading The Times and then proceeded to devote three segments of the show to stories taken from the newspaper, including one segment in which he read a line from a page one story in the paper without acknowledging the source.
Wednesday (January 3, 2007) was a different situation entirely.
Doocy and his co-hosts Gretchen Carlson and Andrew Napolitano did not bring up The New York Times at all. Instead, they quoted the New York Daily News, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and that paragon of journalism, the Globe. Guess Doocy's wife bought groceries and helped him do his program research at the same time.
Anyway, I'd love to know if Doocy arrived at his change of heart on his own or if John Moody, Fox News vice president for news, realized the hypocrisy of ridiculing one of Fox News' key sources for news and addressed the topic in one of his daily missives. Anybody have a copy they'd like to share?


text: Jason1978 916 Report post Posted January 1 8 hours ago, ShakeThatMonkey said: Overall this saddens me because Mayock is easily the best guy out there on the main networks with his analysis. This move tells me that the Raiders weren't going to get a GM that has both the scouting ability and even keeled personality that Mayock has. Mayock won't come in there to challenge Gruden's authority, but will provide enough support and advise that will highly value. I liked Mayock but his evaluations of QB were at times just as bad as Gruden. Mayock had Deshone Kizer his #1 QB in all of his mock drafts including his final mock draft six days before the draft In 2017, days before the draft. Kizer was the best QB in the draft ahead of Watson, Trubisky and Mahomes. As a ND fan I could easily tell you Kizer likely would struggle in the NFL. In 2018 he had Mayfield as the 4th best in the draft behind Darnold, Rosen and Allen (Lamar Jackson was 5th). Quote "NFL.com analyst Mike Mayock is thinking outside the box for his first pre-draft position rankings of 2017. While ESPN analysts have leaned hard on Mitch Trubisky and Deshaun Watson as the top passers jumping to the NFL this spring, Mayock is betting on a guy coming off a 4-8 season — Notre Dame's DeShone Kizer." 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

U.S. ratifies The Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean
The United States has become the fourth jurisdiction after Canada, the European Union and Russia to ratify a landmark international agreement that aims to prevent unregulated commercial fishery in the high seas of the Central Arctic Ocean, officials at the State Department announced Tuesday. The Agreement to Prevent Unregulated High Seas Fisheries in the Central Arctic Ocean, which was signed in Ilulissat, Greenland last October, includes the so-called Arctic Five – Canada, Norway, Russia, Denmark (Greenland and the Faroe Islands), the U.S. – as well as the major fishing nations – Iceland, Japan, South Korea, China and the EU. >click to read< 17:56
Conservation deal halts commercial salmon fishing in Greenland for 12 years
A deal has been reached that will halt commercial salmon fishing in Greenland and the Faroe Islands for the next 12 years to allow adult wild Atlantic salmon to return to rivers in Canada, the United States, and Europe. The coastal waters of Greenland and the Faroe Islands are critical feeding grounds for the salmon, and many come from endangered populations in rivers like the Saint John in New Brunswick and the Penobscot in Maine. "Significantly reducing the harvest of wild Atlantic salmon on their ocean feeding grounds is meaningful and decisive," said Bill Taylor, president of the Atlantic Salmon Federation. >click to read<
The Faroese Governments proposal to make relatively dramatic changes to the laws regulating fisheries in Faroe Islands will not go ahead. A proposal from the Government to adopt Quotas for the largest vessels in the Faroese fleet has been discussed in parliament however as there was no agreement on any aspects of the proposal it was dismissed by parliament.,,, The shelved Faroese government proposal was that larger vessels were to replace Days-at-Sea with Quotas. Absolutely no one within the Faroese fishing industry wanted to change from Days-at-Sea to a Quota system. The plan always intended that smaller boats out-with the above sizes would still operate under the current Days-at-Sea system.It was made very clear to the government that everybody in the fishing industry was angry at the proposal on quotas. click here to read the story 19:30
The Grind: Faroe Islands divided over whaling tradition
Residents of the Volcanic archipelago, located in the North Atlantic Ocean between Scotland and Iceland, call the hunt the Grind (pronounced to rhyme with "wind"). When the call is given, flotillas of boats set sail, herding pods of whales onto the beaches, where villagers wade through the water to kill them with lances. Yet whale meat has always been a staple of the Faroese diet: locals have historically consumed the meat and blubber to sustain themselves over the harsh winter months. Jens Mortan Rasmussen, one such whaler, believes that pilot whale is still an important and sustainable food source for the islands. "Everything you see at the supermarket is imported," he said. "The meat that we eat at the supermarket, we barely know where that comes from. I need to kill about 2000 chickens for the life of one whale. "If you feel that you can eat a chicken and then say I can't kill a whale, you're a total hypocrite. Read the story here 11:07
Yes, I butcher whales. It's certainly no worse than what happens in slaughterhouses
I ( Heri Joensen ) live in the Faroe Islands, where whaling has been part of our way of life for centuries. Last month, I was working on a long-finned pilot whale the day after it had been killed. Since more than four-fifths of the world's population eats meat, I thought it would be fine to share such a picture — it's no secret, surely, how meat is produced? But uproar followed. A campaign was launched to cancel my band's (Týr) gigs and stop venues booking us. We seldom see pictures from inside slaughterhouses. As a result, people have strange ideas about meat — they seem to believe that animals are willingly and painlessly slaughtered behind closed doors. Ethically, I don't see the difference between slaughtering wild whales and farmed cows. All animals suffer: if you can slaughter cows for meat, why not slaughter wildlife?

Fishermen are safe again in the Faroe Islands, while the Sea Shepherd Supports the Faroe Islands
Landcrew ( over 100 volunteers) has paid over 600.000,00 danish kroners to get to Faroe Islands by plane – so faroese tourism is blooming once again – thanks to the Sea Shepherd. Records also show – that Sea Shepherd landcrew has used a lot of car rentals and houses and they have been in the Faroe haven't been cheap, and we thank you for that, Sea Shepherd. And then Sea Shepherd also needs to pay up to Faroese government for all the big fines – they have been given for unlawfully interfering with the whaling. They didn't save one single whale!

European Commission proposes fishing opportunities in the Atlantic and North Sea for 2015
The European Commission has today proposed fishing opportunities for 2015 for the Atlantic and the North Sea. This is the annual proposal for the amount of fish which can be caught by EU fishermen from the main commercial fish stocks next year and it is for the first time based on the new Common Fisheries Policy (CFP).

Sea Shepherd extremists arrested, vessels seized after interfering with grindadráp
The hunts, also called grindadráp (or grinds) are community-based events which are protected by the local police and the Danish Navy. Even Grindaformenn, or the men in charge of organizing the hunt are allowed to remove interlopers. On Saturday, activists' attempts at stopping the hunt had failed. Read the rest here 22:23

According to research presented today at the American Occupational Health Conference in Atlanta, there are risk factors associated with disability, but you might be surprised what they are.
Dr. Glenn Pransky, M.D., M.Occ.H., of the Liberty Mutual Center for Disability Research, and a group of researchers surveyed 557 patients suffering from recent onset of low back pain and asked about demographic, injury, workplace, psychosocial and symptom factors. In addition, researchers examined symptoms and initial prognosis.
"Function and return to work were more strongly predicted by employer factors job tenure, employer size, availability of modified duty and delay in notifying employer and self-ratings of pain, mood and physicality of work than by health history or physical exam," said Pransky.
In other words, he noted, targeted intervention for workers at high risk of disability due to low back pain should focus on job factors and pain coping strategies.

ValonOsmani: My son is just a little younger than you, he was injured in 2008 on a motorcycle. C7 broken but not displaced, L1 and L2 displaced resulting in paraplegia. He spent 10 months living in Baltimore to attend KKI. His biggest issue had been intense neuropathic pain. We went to X-cell in Cologne last November and again in June.
His pain has significantly decreased and his right foot he can move up and down, slightly like pushing on a gas pedal (something he used to do a lot!!!).
He has had a return of some sensation in his lower legs, and improved bowel and sexual function.
I'm wishing you the best of LUCK too!!!!!!

San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood has sprouted all kinds of new buildings in recent years and Friday, it will unveil its crown jewel, the Salesforce Transit Center.
"It's the center that will take us into the future, and that's what we would like to see," said Mohammed Nuru, chair of the Transbay Joint Powers Authority. "And when you're coming to San Francisco, you should be able to get to any center that you want to use that center."
The new space already features a rooftop park, retail space and a bus deck launching passengers straight into the East Bay, however, no trains yet.
"Eventually, we hope that by 2028, 2030, that the trains will be functioning and this will be regional hub for the city and for transportation," Nuru said.
The train will have a connection between the Caltrain Station at 4th and King and the new transit center, which has no funding or final route. It has a price tag of $4 to $6 billion.
"I think it makes sense to do it the best way. This is really important. And if it takes a couple more years, I think we'd be okay with that because it is that important," said CEO of the Bay Area Council Jim Wunderman. "It's a multi-billion dollar project to do it, but it will have a multi multi-billion dollar payoff, once we get it done."
The renderings of the Transit Center will become a reality with a ribbon cutting ceremony Friday and a block party Saturday and Sunday as well as new bus routes on Sunday.

Quit Smoking will reduce health risks?
Smoking is a habit common among people around the world. We smoked many cigarettes they smoke cigarettes from others, and even a tube. Regardless of the type that is smoked like snuff, have a habit of negative health effects.
Quitting smoking is essential, as smoking is the leading cause of illness and death among people around the world. This was confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
What are the health risks associated with smoking related?
Experts believe that smoking around 87% of deaths related to lung cancer worldwide is responsible. For other health problems such as heart disease, vascular disease, stroke and head, and cataracts.
Smokers risk of infertility. In addition, smoking during pregnancy can cause health problems for themselves and their unborn babies. In a series of cases, a child may have died of the syndrome of sudden infant death (SIDS).
Smoking can also affect the health and especially the skin condition. About smoking risks much earlier age than nonsmokers. Many smokers suffer from premature aging due to the formation of the first wrinkle. However, smoking will benefit from the skin condition.
Smoking cessation will reduce health risks.
What are the benefits of quitting?
It was found that nonsmokers had a number of additional benefits. Experiencing a resurgence of the taste buds and other senses. The situation of the respiratory organs are common-smoking was significantly improved.
Smoking can increase the lifespan of a smoker, although the custom has come early. In addition, a non-smoker, could benefit from additional savings, which are often lost in cigarettes.
What are the most effective ways to quit smoking?
Smokers often complain about the fact that quitting is slow. Even if true, in this context, it is impossible to achieve.
There are many aids to quit smoking immediately available for use by those who quit. Some prescription drugs and utility and necessity of the recommendation of doctors. Champix is a medication that helps so quit.
Before the start of a smoking cessation during treatment, must attend a full medical consultation with a physician. The first step will be the best way to quit smoking and decide the right time. However, we must remain focused to avoid the temptations and distractions on the road.
We must create an incentive, depending on what the required method. It is extremely useful in identifying who among the pros and cons of smoking. Your friends and family can also provide moral support in their efforts to push for smoking cessation.

All kinds of people work from home these days, and some make a good living while others don't. You don't necessarily need a degree, but that depends on what you're doing of course.
There are so many different ways to make money from home, including:
If you want to learn more about this kind of thing, start by searching online for information using terms such as 'affiliate marketing', 'work at home', 'freelance writing', 'internet marketing' and you will find a lot of different sites run by people who offer tips, courses, ebooks and videos that can help you figure out what kind of work you want to do. Some of this info is free, while other things you have to pay for. There are also a lot of videos on YouTube on these subjects - just go there and start searching.
Money can be made from an online business. Facebook, Instagram, and Blogging are great ways to sell your products or services. It's also a great way to get your brand name out to the public. Almost everyone use the internet and when you post something, people from the other side of the world can see that post.
There are a lot of work from home jobs that you can find depending on your interest and the skills you have. For instance, you can find freelancing jobs, online sale, transcriber, affiliate programs, marketing, and more. Some do require a degree and others don't. You have to make yourself available because they expect you to be there at all times. Plus, you have to put a lot of effort and time for any work from home jobs because they don't often come easy. You don't always make a lot of money in a short period of time, it takes a lot from you and how well you have spent the time working on the job. I have found that a lot of people open their own online business, which is way better than working for someone else online because you don't have the same kind of trust as when you work for someone other than virtually.
Buying and selling online can be a good source of income, or an extra source of income.
Some people that can write, do web design, development and programming can earn a living from it too
I sometimes do some design work at home. Not really as freeelance but more as offering a friend some help. I can also work at home for my job but I prefer to be at the office.

Conscious investors, nonprofit foundations, and organizations are always looking for opportunities to have a social and environmental impact in their community. We're here to help and work alongside you as a partner.
Along with our incredible partners from the public and private sectors, VCC provides resources for businesses to expand and real estate developments to thrive. Some of our community programs have particular areas of focus to help specific communities in need.
See VCC's statewide impact.
Alleghany Highlands Loan Program
Through an investment grant from the Alleghany Foundation, VCC is providing $3 million in financing and assistance to advance a minimum of two community and economic development projects in the region. In addition, a $500,000 grant supports project readiness (research, staff, and lending time, materials, etc) and credit enhancements.
The Alleghany Highlands Loan Program kicked off in October 2015 and will run through 2018. Our goals are to provide ongoing technical assistance to projects in the market and deploy our financing to those in line with the vision for revitalizing the community.
Brookland Park Loan Fund
The Brookland Park Corridor, in the Northside of Richmond, is an economically challenged community along a two and a half-mile stretch. Businesses there is a mix of retail and convenience stores, beauty shops, and some food services. On the rebound, this area is seeing an influx of new residents and renewed public and private investment.
With an investment from Capital One, VCC has established the Brookland Park Loan Fund and Advisory Services Program to provide targeted outreach and free advisory services to eligible business in the corridor. Advisory services are effective and necessary tools that small businesses depend on for responsible growth and access to lending capital. This program will end in December 2017.
Housing Catalyst Loan Fund
The Housing Catalyst Fund was created to build more affordable rental housing in Virginia. The program is resourced by the Department of Treasury's Capital Magnet Fund, blending a federal grant and capital from VCC to offer low-cost financing to private investment and other local, state, and federal funds. We offer low rates and flexible terms for short-term construction, bridge financing, or long-term gap financing.
Projects are limited to affordable rental properties only. Eligible borrowers include both for- and non-profit entities, housing authorities, and mixed-use developments.
New Economy Loan Fund
Entrepreneurship has the potential to boost local economies by tapping local talent and resources and to help keep rural populations from declining even further. Through the New Economy Loan Fund, VCC is providing critical growth financing and technical assistance for small businesses and projects in the following nine counties: Buchanan, Dickenson, Giles, Lee, Russell, Scott, Tazewell, Washington, and Wise. These communities have relied substantially on the declining coal mining industry as a base for their local economies.
The loan fund will provide needed capital and targeted advisory services to small business owners to support growth and success of current economic priorities and initiatives already underway in these communities. The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development's (DHCD) has committed an investment of $100,000 to fund a loan loss reserve pool to support the fund's lending activities.
Resilient Community Loan Fund
Small businesses play an especially vital role in America, creating roughly two-thirds of jobs. Through the Resilient Communities Loan Fund, VCC provides critical growth financing and technical assistance for small businesses and projects in Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development's (DHCD) program areas, which are primarily based in rural and small towns across the Commonwealth.
By blending private capital, partially backed by DHCD-funded loan loss reserves, VCC is well-positioned to respond to emerging economies in small towns throughout the Commonwealth.
Thompson Foundation Program
VCC has received a $200,000 grant over a three-year period from the Thompson Charitable Foundation. The funds will help small business owners in two Southwest Virginia counties establish new companies, assist existing businesses in expanding and diversifying markets, and offer specialized management and entrepreneurial skill-development and career transition training to ensure long-term success.
The grant will fund up to 12 small business workshops each year in Buchanan and Tazewell counties, provide free technical advisory services, and host four Small Business Challenges in each county that will award investment grants to existing and startup companies.
Virginia Fresh Food Loan Fund
When communities don't have access to nutritious foods, citizens can't function at their very best. More than 1.4 million Virginians lack access to healthy, local, or fresh foods. Many youth also shop regularly in the corner convenience store, consuming high-calorie snacks and beverages because they don't have stores nearby that offer more nutritional foods and drinks.

Twickles rolls onto Steam September 28th
Of the many genres of gaming, puzzle games have to be some of my absolute favourites. When they're done right, these games can be a good five minute time killer or a three hour session in the making, depending on how you're feeling. The best puzzle games can turn that five minutes into three hours without you even knowing it. Hoping to join the pantheon of puzzling greats is Twickles, a curious little maze game that will be readying itself to confound us as of the end of this month.
Developed by the German team Neox Studios, Twickles will be appearing on Steam from September 28th at a cost of $6.99 but what can we expect from it? Well, Twickles is a maze game of sorts with a minimalist aesthetic. You are asked to navigate your ball around an increasingly complex series of labyrinths. What makes this more than your average maze is that you'll need to rotate pieces of the labyrinth and sometimes its entire structure to meet your goal.
This is the sort of game that is going to be a perfectionist's dream. Completing each level is one thing; doing this with the perfect number of moves and attaining all of the trophies is something entirely different. Replaying the same level to get that perfect score is bound to coax that "one more round" feeling that puzzle fans love so much. With 75 hand crafted levels to ace that should keep players going for quite a bit. The game is also broken into five overall parts and each will add a new element to play just to stop things getting stale.
I wouldn't mind having a crack at this one myself, actually. Keep the old eyes peeled for some more coverage in the future. If you're planning on joining me just keep watch for its arrival next week.

The Jedi training academy was such a huge success some of the children wore their "uniform" t-shirts they received at the party to school on Monday! Since I had so many pictures from the party I made them small so the page wouldn't take a long time to load. Sorry about that - here are some more details on the party and a few more images that are a bit larger for those who complained. ;-)
The party started off with everyone being issued official Jedi garb which consisted of a "I became a Jedi Master at Jonah's Training Academy" t-shirt and a special training lightsaber made out of a pool noodle and PVC pipe. (I originally planned on making Jedi robes for everyone but quickly scrapped that idea as my sewing skill pretty much suck. Jonah took a bit more convincing that a t-shirt would be a much better idea. I'm glad he finally decided on a t-shirt and that I was able to get it printed on short notice!).
Ken-Obi reviewed the Jedi Code and the Jedi Oath. Note that MUCH emphasis was place on using the force for the good of the universe and that Jedi's never hit one another with their lightsabers. The younglings needed to be reminded of this every so often. The Jedi training then commenced with sword skills, battling the mighty Ken-Obi, concentration skills, teamwork skills, accuracy skills, and speed skills. Balloons, bubbles, hula hoops and water balloons were key for this training. A bounce house added to the necessary skills training. The younglings demonstrated their skills by attacking the death star pinata. At the end of the training, all participants received a very special certificate proclaiming that they had become honorary Jedi Masters.
Now that I'm going through all the images, I realized that there are so many of the little detail shots that I didn't get. This makes me a bit sad as I like to try to capture EVERYTHING, but I was running around crazy the whole time trying to make sure that everything was being taken care of. But all in all, it was a great time!
Parents, if you want wonderful pictures of your children, never teach them to say "cheese"! Please learn from my mistake or you will have thousands of photos just like mine - squinted eyes, scrunched up noses, clenched teeth, and an image that just screams "say cheez!!!". Join me while I search for that one perfect shot that doesn't conjure up images of dairy products. Oh, and unless you like that *messy* look, you'll probably want to clean their faces before you snap away. I never seem to remember myself.
An imporant sidenote is to make sure you document your life! Recording the little details of the who, what, where, when, & why makes for wonderful stories and captures your life for years to come. Because if you are like me, you'll forget it all 5 minutes later!

Trump has forced Clinton to mention the words "radical Islamic terror". Obama refuses to say "radical islamic terror". The US Presidential campaign may now be all about "Make America Safe Again" instead of "Make America Great Again."
Trump is on the attack. Clinton is trying to distance herself from her deep connections with the Saudi government.
Obama is buying time until he leaves office, hoping that no main stream media outlet mention that his White House was training and funding ISIS, Al Qaeda/Al Nusra, and "moderate rebels" in their obsession to remove Assad in Syria.
The Orlando shootings have changed the narrative of the US election in a profound and drastic way.

Home -Menu - News - 2017 - September - 64 percent support for new coal fired power in NSW according to new survey
September 07, 2017
7th September 2017
64 percent support for new coal fired power in NSW according to new survey
New research has found strong public support for the construction of a new low emissions coal-fired power station in NSW.
A recent public opinion survey of a representative sample of 1,000 people across NSW conducted by Crosby Textor for the NSW Minerals Council found 64 percent support for the construction of a new coal-fired power plant if it could produce electricity at lower emissions than existing power plants. Only 33 percent were opposed.
Significantly, the research found that 81 per cent of Coalition voters were in support, with only 16 percent opposed. Among Labor voters, support was at 57 percent compared with 40 percent opposed.
59 percent of Sydney residents were in support, with 69 percent support across regional NSW.
"This research shows significant support right across NSW for new coal fired power plants to be part of our future energy mix," NSW Minerals Council CEO, Stephen Galilee said today.
"Since the recent closure of coal power plants in Victoria and South Australia we've seen a reduction in supply and a spike in prices. In the Hunter, AGL intends to close the Liddell power station in just five years and without replacement capacity these issues are set to get worse," Mr Galilee said.
"Mining and manufacturing businesses in the industrial parks of western Sydney and in regional mining communities regularly express their concerns to me about the high cost of electricity and future reliability of supply."
"While most generally support more renewable energy, many are concerned about the inability to run their businesses using intermittent wind and solar. Many fear they will be forced to follow businesses in South Australia and use diesel generators as backup in case their power supply goes due to grid instability," Mr Galilee said.
"Households have also been hit by high power bills over the winter months and with Summer approaching our electricity grid will come under increased pressure."
A new High Efficiency, Low Emission (HELE) coal-fired power plant has the potential to lock in the energy needs of NSW for decades while also reducing emissions from the current levels at the Liddell plant by around 25%.
"This is not a choice between renewables and coal. It's a commonsense partnership. The guarantee of stable, reliable baseload electricity from coal would enable more renewable energy to be integrated into the electricity grid," Mr Galilee said.
"Here in NSW we have the infrastructure, the high quality coal, the world class mining workforce and the demand needed to make this partnership a success."

Michael Saltsman's recent Viewpoint, in the tradition of tobacco executives who said smoking was good for you brings you intentionally bad research and mistaken conclusions, is wrong about the minimum wage and its effects. He has always been wrong and he's paid to be wrong.
In 2013, he promised the collapse of the Minnesota restaurant business via a "devastating" minimum wage increase from $7.25 to $9.38. Minneapolis has moved far beyond Saltsman and recently passed a $15-per-hour minimum wage.
According to Saltman's logic as he's asserted it, all we really need to do is flip our strategy. If we decrease workforce wages, North Dakota would prosper. Accordingly, his theory is hereby dubbed "The Economic Hypothesis of Prosperity through Poverty." It all makes perfect sense: when North Dakota's workforce earns less, North Dakota is better off. Or something. Maybe.
Characterizing "radical" a wage of $31,200 in North Dakota is hyperbole, since $31,000 does not cover basic costs for a single-parent householder's basics, according to M.I.T.'s recently published cost-of-living index for North Dakota.
Comparably, $47,130 (North Dakota's current average wage) must be "stratospherically radical."
We counter-propose radical as living on $15,080 ($7.25/hour) as measured by, well, North Dakota decency. It's subsistence that some actually do survive on working full-time today.
Saltsman cites a critically-flawed Seattle study for argumentative proofs.
The study failed peer review:
1) the study excluded 48 percent of Seattle workers who earned less than $13/hr in mid-2016, the workers most likely to earn close to min wage.
2) The study found that Seattle's minimum wage caused the greatest effects in the least plausible place - high-wage jobs.
3) The study results hinged on a geographic sample size of the loneliest number - one - subjected to an untested, unconventional approach.
4) The study was an outlier; a vast majority of studies demonstrate market elasticity for minimum wage increases.
There's more. While mentioning that specific study might have been politically prudent for his client base, professionally - it should be a little embarrassing.
Saltsman's think tank is motivated by being paid by client groups whose desire is not to see wealth circulate and grow North Dakota's economy but to extract wealth to grow personal and corporate fortunes. Saltsman's think tank business may or may not be helped, but Grand Fork's stagnant economy would be helped by an increase. More money in the pockets of more people is powerful stimulus.
Fear is their weapon, optimism is ours; do not let fear prevail. Workers, not including think tanks, receive significantly less today of what they produce, and North Dakotans know a worker is due his or her wages.
Scott Nodland is chairman of the Fair Wage Act of North Dakota Ballot Initiative.

The Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) contracted Barriere Construction Company, LLC to complete a $40 million road rehabilitation project to resurface almost 10 miles of interstate highway in eastern St. Tammany Parish, replacing worn faulted concrete pavement on Interstate 10 from the West Pearl River Bridge to the French Branch Bridge. This section of interstate had not received many substantive improvements since the 1960's and presented complicated issues resulting from poor subbase and water intrusion.
The project challenged Barriere and DOTD to construct a safer and more efficient highway by eliminating excessive roadway irregularities and wear and tear on vehicles. Barriere crews worked to replace the existing poorly conditioned subbase as well as reconstruct five corresponding off-ramps with the highest level of safety and without a single lane closure infraction.
In winning the project Barriere proposed a 360-day timeline, which was 315 days faster than other competitors' proposals. Although additional work was added to the contracted scope, Barriere's use of innovative tools such as drone surveying and intensive scheduling enabled Barriere to complete the project in just 307 days...71 DAYS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.
Over and above the initial scope of work, DOTD asked for additional guardrail where existing structures did not meet required specifications, due to inconsistent road leveling. Milling and asphalt leveling were also included to fix the substandard slopes on the project as well as minor adjustment to ITS boxes and the relocation of multiple signs. The client added $745,000 of work to the project, but the savings generated through Value Engineering and expert innovation more than covered the additional cost.
I would like to share my gratitude toward you and your entire team at Barriere for all of the hard work and long hours required to successfully complete this $40 Million project ahead of schedule and under budget. In addition, I would like to compliment you and the others on the project management team for a job well done. Barriere Construction demonstrated their dedication to maintaining a trustworthy and committed relationship with the Department and Volkert (CE&I) to make this a successful partnering experience. This project is something to be proud of and I'm glad to be a part of it."
