A great read I found this morning…
Non-Anesthetized Mouse Model for Recording Sensory Urinary Bladder Activity
Peter Zvara 1*, Andrew J. Wright 1, Kristopher Roach 1, Michal Ursiny 1, Bennett Shapiro 1, Lawrence M. Dagrosa 1, Mark T. Nelson 2 and Thomas J. Heppner 2

The goal of this study was to develop an in vivo awake mouse model for extracellular bladder sensory nerve recording. A bipolar 125-µm silver electrode was positioned under a single postganglionic bladder nerve. Efferent nerve signals were eliminated by tying off the postganglionic bladder nerve between the major pelvic ganglion and the recording electrode. Sensory nerve activity was measured in the conscious animals 48 hours after surgery during continuous intravesical infusion of 0.9% saline/0.5% acetic acid followed by 0.5% acetic acid with capsazepine (10 µM) at a rate of 0.75 ml/h. Continuous infusion of 0.9% NaCl led to a gradual increase in the frequency of sensory nerve firing that peaked upon reaching threshold pressure. Non-micturition contractions were observed in some animals during filling and other animals exhibited only minimal pressure fluctuations; both types of events were associated with a rise in sensory nerve activity. Intravesical infusion of 0.5% acetic acid reduced the intermicturition interval. This was associated with a 2.1-fold increase in bladder pressure during filling and a 2-fold increase at both threshold and micturition pressures. Concurrent with these changes, sensory activity increased 2.8-fold during filling and 2.4-fold at threshold pressure. Subsequent intravesical infusion of capsazepine in 0.5% acetic acid reduced filling and threshold pressures by 21% and 31.2%, respectively, and produced corresponding decreases of 36% and 23.4% in sensory nerve activity. The current study shows that multi-fiber sensory nerve recordings can be reproducibly obtained from conscious mice.

This course is designed for physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and other medical care providers who must maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of the anesthesia specialty or are impacted by it.
The practitioner of anesthesiology must possess the scientific background for clinical practice; maintain state-of-the-art knowledge of not only the specialty, but also of all additional related disciplines which may impact it; maintain an up-to-the-minute armamentarium of knowledge and skills for the selection and use of complex equipment, pharmacological agents, and procedures necessary for the provision of quality patient care; manage self and colleagues to function toward common goals in the clinical setting, the clinical and educational institutions, and the community in which the practice resides; serve as an expert in matters involving health care delivery; serve as an informed manager of clinical and educational services provided, including the acquisition and distribution of resources necessary in meeting professional goals; and provide assistance with and support of other service providers, departments, institutions, and organizations dependent upon the professional expertise of the practitioner. Presentations are designed to facilitate the healthcare provider in reviewing, updating, and/or expanding knowledge and abilities in one or more of these areas vital to the practicing professional.
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
Apply the pertinent physical and behavioral sciences - to include but not be limited to advanced anatomy and physiology, pathophysiology, chemistry, physics, psychology, and social sciences - as they impact and are affected by the planning, delivery, and monitoring of anesthesia and related services inherent in the anesthesia professions.
Explain the selection, dosing considerations with methods of administration, safe use, and contraindications and precautions of presented pharmacological agents through the understanding of their physico-chemical properties, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, updated uses, and more recently developed additional, related, and similar drugs.
Outline comprehensive management plans for the group of patients discussed, whether related in age, physical status, cultural background, invasive procedure, anesthetic or analgesic requirements, clinical setting, adverse reactions, and/or goals of care.
Apply the principles of safety and asepsis in the performance of anesthetic procedures and administrations, equipment use, and other applications encountered during the provision of anesthesia and analgesia whether in the surgical unit, the labor and delivery suite, the pain management clinic, or other more remote location of anesthetizing services.
Incorporate the appropriate recommendations and/or requirements of pertinent external organizations, institutions, and professional groups - recognized as serving as the authority for and/or holding the responsibility to compile and approve such tenets - in the provision of anesthesia and related services, whether medical, legal, philosophical, ethical, or health care management standards.
Apply the new techniques in the clinical setting of the participant.

Writes Seth J. Frantzman.
ADDED: If you are horrified by what you see Trump doing, is it because when Obama did things like that you just didn't see? Or did everything look different because it was Obama doing them?
AND: I am fascinated by the NYT's presentation of "1984" as the book to read to understand Trump: "George Orwell's '1984' Is Suddenly a Best-Seller," "Why '1984' Is a 2017 Must-Read"
It seems to me that Obama was more of a Big Brother figure. You saw his smiling face. You loved him. You trusted him. Not all of you. But that was the overwhelming spirit of the time, reinforced by the press that served him. That face!
... the face of Big Brother, black-haired, black-moustachio'd, full of power and mysterious calm, and so vast that it almost filled up the screen. Nobody heard what Big Brother was saying. It was merely a few words of encouragement, the sort of words that are uttered in the din of battle, not distinguishable individually but restoring confidence by the fact of being spoken... But the face of Big Brother seemed to persist for several seconds on the screen, as though the impact that it had made on everyone's eyeballs was too vivid to wear off immediately. The little sandy-haired woman had flung herself forward over the back of the chair in front of her. With a tremulous murmur that sounded like 'My Saviour!' she extended her arms towards the screen. Then she buried her face in her hands. It was apparent that she was uttering a prayer. At this moment the entire group of people broke into a deep, slow, rhythmical chant.... It was a refrain that was often heard in moments of overwhelming emotion. Partly it was a sort of hymn to the wisdom and majesty of Big Brother, but still more it was an act of self-hypnosis, a deliberate drowning of consciousness by means of rhythmic noise.Here's screenshot from my Kindle, sorted by author:

A Darker Shade of Magic (A Darker Shade of Magic #1) by V.E. Schwab narrated by, Steven Crossley
This was the best fantasy/alt.verse book I have read in a long time. I loved the premise of all the different London's and how there is magic in some and not in others and that the degrees of magic are different.
The two main characters are Kell & Lila, these two are both so great I loved their bickering, Kell all reserved and noble and Lila all lets go on an adventure who cares if it's dangerous, but in the end I think they balance each other out he for reigning her in and her for telling him it's ok to do something dangerous because it is an adventure.
The world building in this book is solidly done by the end of the book you understand about the different London's and how they relate to each other and how the Antari system works. I thought the author did a great job in revealing the details and differences of each London and how the hierarchy/royalty works in each world. Also the way magic works and how it's different in different worlds was well done and believable.
I really liked Lila she is a tough as nails kick-ass woman who doesn't seem to be scared of anything, even when faced with adversity she just seems to have an attitude of yeah and then what, I loved that about her. We do get a few details about her life but there are definitely some secrets yet to come out and I look forward to the next book and finding out more about certain things that were revealed in this book. (Sorry that's vague but Spoilers)
Kell is a bit of an enigma he is pretty darn tough too but seems to also be a loner even when it comes to his "brother" Rhy who kind of comes off as bratty at first but well some things change I think of him a little better by the end of the book but he still has much to prove and is very lucky that deep down Kell thinks of him as real brother.
Steven Crossley's narration was fabulous, every accent was superb and his male and female voices were so well done I think he enhanced this book which is really saying something. I will listen to him again in a heartbeat and just from this one book has gone on my favorite narrators list.
I can hardly wait till Feb. 2016 when the next installment of this series comes out; I look forward to more adventures with these two. I will definitely read other books from this author I really enjoyed her style of writing.
As if you haven't guessed my rating
5 Stars

(SEND) & Equality Act Training.
Family Action is a national organisation doing what it says, supporting families who find themselves in difficulty. One of the main threads of their work is supporting Early Years settings to become more welcoming of disabled children and their families.
Family Action approached me to facilitate two training days on SEND reforms / Equality Act and inclusive practice, one day in Coventry and the other in Exeter, of course I said yes!
Disability Awareness and it's link to SEND
For people who don't know me, I have a code of practice that means I will not deliver legislation training without a little bit of inclusion, disability awareness or disablism training first, I believe this gives a perspective from a disability equality point of view.
Why? Well I feel that some people and organisations will always find a way around legislation. If you really don't want to make changes to policies, procedures and practices then you probably will not.
Legislation will not challenge your thinking. I believe that if you do the attitudinal shifting stuff alongside legislation, like the SEND reforms, people and organisations will make changes. This has to be a better starting point for all concerned.
Bespoke Training
Family Action is indeed in tune with my thinking; and so with this in mind I designed a day for them, focusing in the morning on Disability Awareness / inclusion training, in the afternoon SEND & Equality Act training.
As with all good training, modelling what you are delivering is critical, it's known in the trade as 'double loop' learning (Chris Argy) Giving participants an experience that they want to simulate in their practice has to be a good way to learn. And by delivering Disability Awareness training first followed by SEND and Equality Act training I get the sense that participants understand why the need to change and more importantly believe in it too.
SEND and Equality Act training could be a very dry subject and could easily bore the pants off you! But it's all about how you deliver the information, not by PowerPoint that's for sure!
Instead, I provided the materials, the participants had the experience of carrying out of the SENCO role, put them together and what do you got! Yes people learning, sharing ideas and practice, laughing, making sense of pieces of paper, asking each other questions. And because they have experienced an attitudinal shift around Disability Awareness in the morning session, they were able to engage with the materials in a different way and they did.
On both these days Family Action received wonderful feedback about the course. The majority of participants were able to articulate what they had learnt, what had made them think and how they thought they could change their practice.
So thank you Family Action for the opportunity to work with you, I look forward to developing our relationship.

I've been using these for about a month now and it's not all great. I know the existence of Mon Chéri in Malaysia and it has been around for quite a while now but this is my first time trying them out. The two products that I have from them are the Mon Chéri Lumiere Complexion and Pore Refiner Pore Eraser primer and the Mon Chéri Petale CC Cover cushion. They both the latest product from the brand and let's see they are any good for my skin.
As a teaser, I can safely say that I like the Mon Chéri Lumiere Complexion and Pore Refiner Pore Eraser primer better as it works as it claims and a little goes a long way. Check out the video review below with demo that I've uploaded on YouTube. Otherwise, if you prefer to read, more info further down this blogpost.
Do Subscribe to my YouTube Channel and give this video a thumbs up!
Mon Chéri Lumiere Complexion and Pore Refiner Pore Eraser primer (30ml, RM110)
As mentioned earlier, this primer works pretty well for me. It fills in my pores perfectly, making a smooth canvas for the foundation to go on and it sits well with most of my favourite foundations. I only have a hard time trying to get the product out as the way it dispenses product out is rather limiting, which on the bright side, making sure we don't over squeeze too much product out. It's a silicon-y nude paste that does make my skin feels smooth after applying them around my T-zones and my under eyes. It also helped to make my face makeup last longer. Thus, as a primer this is pretty good. Also, 30ml is quite a bit go through, I don't use much each time, I believe this can last me a good couple of months. However, it states that they also have some kind of brightening and anti-ageing properties in it. I can't vouch for that as I can't tell the difference within a month of usage.
Mon Chéri Pétale CC Cover in Natural Beige (RM135)
I really, really wanted to like this cushion because it's my first try on cushions with a mesh topping and it covers really well. It's just unfortunately that the foundation doesn't stick to my skin, even with the Mon Chéri primer mentioned earlier, it seem to come off too easily if I don't set them with loose powder, and it has to be lighted dusted on the face because if I overdo just the tiniest bit, it will start caking my face up.
Additionally, if you watched my video review, I've mentioned that on the first try, it greased up my face as it seemed as if the oils from the foundation are separated and surfaced to the top. Making my first impression on this cushion a terrible one. Though, after wiping the first layer out, I gave it a second try and I seem to quite like it because of the great coverage I immediately see. Though, I quickly come to realised that although it looks absolutely, it doesn't set on my skin. I often accidentally scrap or move my foundation from my face while I am meticulously doing my eye makeup.
I've heard some people actually do like this cushion, maybe it's just not for me and my skin type, you don't always find every beauty product a win. So, do more research on your side if you are interested to try this out. :)

It mattered today
Renisha McBride's life mattered. The way she died mattered. And, the man who murdered her was just found guilty.
This murder was a tragedy. Nothing about it is worth celebrating.
But in the wake of the ongoing despair that sets in when we actually name it: the epidemic of deadly violence against women and men of color (Eric Garner's horrifying killing by police in Staten Island the most publicly visible in recent weeks) and the "not guilty" verdicts (of which Trayvon Martin's killer's exoneration was only one of the more recent in a long line) that almost predictably follow . . .
. . . a small interruption in the endless cycle of despair.
A jury recognized not only that Renisha McBride's life mattered. But a jury recognized that when white men and women kill Black women and men they should be convicted for it.
It's outrageous, of course, that such is a huge victory in 2014. And, I'll be honest, I was prepared for the worst.
But outrageous as it is: Renisha McBride's life mattered. Other men and women in our judicial system had the humanity to insist on it.
Small victories, worth naming, while we remain in mournful and vigilant silence about how very far we have yet to go.

Hey Ria, Thank you so much for letting us know about the issue with the discount. I recently emailed Glyde to make sure this promotion was still valid. It would have been nice for them to tell us it ended in July instead of confirming it was still working. We'll get this one marked as expired. Thank you again!

I also had trouble using this discount code. It never said anything about 5$ off during check out. So I had emailed this particular company to see why it was not working, and this is what they said :
Thank you for the follow up.
I'm sorry to hear of the confusion.
Vonbeau is a 3rd party website and the promotion they have posted recently ended in July. Accordingly we can't honor this promortion.
While I can't honor it, please accept this coupon code "njl2omtnz2" good for $5 off your purchase of $15 or more. It expires on 12/31 so please be sure to use it before then.
If you have any further questions or concerns regarding this, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Louis Glyde Customer Service
PS: if anyone would like to use my coupon code, go right ahead! :-) I'll just purchase what I wanted from Target.

Purce, who registered an assist in her debut for the U.S. in January, is one of 21 athletes chosen for the World Cup squad. (Photo: Gil Talbot)
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Rising sophomore midfielder Margaret Purce was named to the U.S. Under-20 Women's National Team, head coach Michelle French announced on Thursday afternoon. Purce is one of 21 athletes selected to represent the United States at the World Cup on August 5-24 in Canada.
Purce and the U.S. kick off the action on Aug. 5 against Germany, and will play Brazil on Aug. 8 and China PR on Aug. 12.
A native of Olney, Md., Purce has already seen plenty of action with the U.S. National Team, registering an assist in her first game in the Red, White and Blue in January. After the World cup, Purce, the Ivy League Player and Rookie of the Year in 2013, will help the Crimson seek its second consecutive Ivy title after a perfect 7-0 record in Ancient Eight play last season.
Harvard's season begins Sept. 5 when the Crimson play host to San Francisco in the season opener at 7 p.m.

Networking & Mobilisation
Flying Mission Care Ministries works with faith based, community based, and other non-governmental organisations involved in helping the vulnerable and marginalized in Botswana (e.g. working with those affected by HIV/AIDS, orphaned and vulnerable children, the elderly and people within the prison system). We seek to network them with organisations and individuals working in similar areas, provide training and advice, and mobilise resources for them. We have two categories for those with whom we work:
Associates ...
... are organisations and individuals that we support on an occasional basis in response to specific needs; for instance sourcing Bibles, chairs, cups and playground equipment, and the provision of specialised training or skilled short-term or long-term volunteers.
An example of an Associate project is the 'Sedibeng Sa Lerato' (translates to 'Well of Love') project which was initiated by a retired couple from their home and teaches life-skills, Christian values and healthy living to children aged 4-14years; many of whom are orphaned or vulnerable. We have supported this project in registering as a trust, providing bibles, chairs and bowls, helping them implement a children's discipleship teaching curriculum, and provided volunteers in response to the needs of the project.
Partners ...
... are organisations and individuals with which Flying Mission Care Ministries has a more formal relationship, where it is underpinned by a 3-5 year contract. We 'walk with' the partner to help them fulfil their vision and objectives and to get to a point of self-sustainability. This is done through conducting a needs analysis of the project and helping the partner identify how and from where these needs can be met. This may be through mobilising the local community, linking them with individuals or groups that can support them, by channelling donations made to Flying Mission Care Ministries, through providing training (e.g. governance, accounting, proposal writing, specialist training) and placement of short-term volunteers.
The Rerotlhe Day Care Centre is an example of a partner. The centre is located in Seherelela, a rural cattle past which is 160km outside of Gaborone. Flying Mission Care Ministries has been involved in providng governance training to the Rerotlhe Trust Board, Early Childhood education training for the teachers, helping to mobilise donations to support the running of the project and the development of the site and facilities (including a playground) and other resource provision. Flying Mission Care Ministries is actively working with them to help them become self-sustainable and to raise the standard of care they can provide to children in the community.

Day #5 of Responsible Tourism Week is here. Have a look or a listen to the tweets.
I spent most of the day in rural Oaxaca with Fundación En Via on their microfinance tour. My high expectations were exceded. The personal interaction among borrowers and visitors was outstanding. Lack of credit combined with high interest rates makes doing business exceedingly difficult in Mexico. The notion of using visitor fees to fund interest-free loans has awesome wealth-creating possibilities.
Today we focus on the VIP members of Responsible Tourism Week, the businesses featured on Planeta.com in our World Travel Directory and Directory of Spanish Language Schools. 2012 is a transition year for us as we figure out the communication strategies that work best. Since 1994 we've had companies fill out an application and pay for a listing. They still do this, though I'm asking help in articulating how we can go beyond a 'check the boxes' approach and collaborate further using social media. These businesses are paying for a listing, but they also get my attention. What is the value of attention?
This weekend we wrap up Responsible Tourism Week with some outstanding local events. I would call your attention to the calendar of events online the Wiki and to the curated collection of tweets on Storify.
Today's livestreaming real-time Zipcast focuses on social media strategies for travel companies. This is our last formal zipcast of RT Week and big thanks to everyone who tuned in. It's good software and a great way to present to numerous people around the world.

From Akashic Records
Slenderman is a cryptid created in mid-June 2009 by several forum-goers from the Something Awful forums.
The typical appearance of Slenderman was originally that of an impossibly tall man in a suit with a distorted, blank face. The fear it inspired came from both the odd proportions of the body and the distortion of its face, which encouraged the viewer to stare deeper into it. Later posters would give him tentacles and attribute various creepypasta to him. Both tentacled and non-tentacled versions are accepted in Slenderman canon.
Before the creepypasta was widespread, Slenderman was used as a sort of "where's Waldo", with users hiding him in photos. As his popularity grew, creepypasta would become attributed to him. The most generally accepted of the stories would be ones that had a subtle level of realism that readers could suspend their disbelief to, while outright storytelling with the military and scientists are frowned upon as cheap science fiction.
Most recently, two projects have developed adopting the Slenderman mythos into fiction: Marble Hornets, a series of online videos, and Just Another Fool, an online blog. Just Another Fool ended in January 2010, but Marble Hornets is currently ongoing.

Meet Ibbard the Stalker
by Seppel
Ibbard is a tall lion from the Haidar tribe who wears a bandanna and has a thick mane. Unlike the rest of his tribe, he prefers it when his red dye patterns do not stand out. Muddier, less vivid reds please him, as they aid in camouflage.
Art by
Ibbard is able to stalk through the jungle at impressive speeds. He's well-practiced in being able to find the perfect angle to see his target, yet remain invisible. And when his target is at its most vulnerable, he remains still, and watches.
Yes, Ibbard is a voyeur.
He'll go to extreme lengths to find entertainment, and only when he wants to join in on the fun will he make himself known.
Art by
His intentions are never malicious -- he wants all parties involved to enjoy themselves to the fullest. He practices good judgment when deciding whether or not he should insert himself into the excitement.
Art by
Join Ibbard in the new Furoticon set, Tribes of Tanglebrook!
Available now!

More on last week's "Miracle Result" Headnote of the Day
April 26, 2010
Judging by the comments on our Facebook fan page, many of you were intrigued by Friday's Headnote of the Day – and curious as to why a lower court would ever presume to "dismiss a Supreme Court decision" in the first place.
Understanding this headnote requires some knowledge of the case in point. In 1976, Robert Rambo (yes, that's his real name) was arrested after customs officials tipped off local police regarding 10 pounds of hashish making its way through the mail toward Rambo's suburban apartment.
The hashish was tucked inside some pottery that had been sent from his brother in Morocco. After accepting the packages, Rambo set them down, unopened, and went out. While he was gone, the police entered his apartment and seized the packages. Later that day, when he contacted police as instructed in a note they had left behind, he was arrested and charged with possession and intent to distribute.
At his trial, Rambo testified that he had agreed to take delivery of pottery and antiques from his brother, but that he had no idea the packages would contain hashish or that his brother was involved with drugs. The jury didn't buy it, and Rambo was sentenced to three years.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Rambo's conviction, citing insufficient evidence that he really knew what was in the packages, despite the jury's verdict. However, when Rambo later petitioned to have his arrest record expunged, the lower court denied his request.
"Such a miracle result for the defendant is not a compelling reason to expunge the record and encourage the sale of drugs without safeguarding the public from a repeat of defendant's drug pushing activities," the lower court asserted.
The Supreme Court was not amused. "The lower court's reasoning fails to comprehend, or ignores, the significance of the Supreme Court's decision," the high court wrote in its reversal. "Neither this court nor any lower court may dismiss a Supreme Court decision as a 'miracle result.'
"…The Commonwealth argues that it has an interest 'in discouraging the sale of drugs in order to protect the public,'" the high court continued. "This argument, like the lower court's opinion, begs the question. It assumes that appellant was engaged in the sale of drugs, and ignores the fact that appellant has been vindicated. Punishment of the innocent is the clearest denial of life, liberty and property without due process of law."
We hope this sheds a bit more light on this intriguing headnote. Thanks for all the comments – and keep 'em coming!

Project Description
In late 2014, Creative Marketing Concepts ("CMC") began using a Linear Blue custom FileMaker solution written in FileMaker to unify data and manage sales activities across the business. To protect and ensure 24-7 remote access to data, Linear Blue implemented SyncServer Pro for multi-site independence and performance. Since implementation, CMC has increased its close rate, shortened their sales cycle and annual revenue has grown substantially.
Established in 1962, Creative Marketing Concepts is a San Francisco-based promotional marketing agency. In 2012, 19-year employee Zachary Tyler became CEO of CMC. The company offers branded merchandizing, giveaway and apparel for corporate America, elevating even the largest brands. The CMC staff count is 35 and has a presence in three locations, San Francisco, San Jose and Prague.
Tyler considered multiple CRMs to manage sales, "they just weren't tailored to what I needed to do. The sales platforms I saw were made from a software engineers mentality, not salespeople." He was seeking the perfect end-to-end solution. In mid 2014, Tyler looked at a custom FileMaker solution and Linear Blue as a Platinum Certified Partner. He was quickly impressed with Linear Blue's insight into CMC's business process and FileMaker's flexibility and reporting capabilities. Linear Blue designed and built a secure, centralized and integrated custom solution to manage CMC's two pipelines: Clients (sales) and Suppliers (purchasing).
CMC had no single point of access to manage sales activities, project deliverables, leads, referrals and other key data. Various bits of information were scattered across multiple applications and notepads. Linear Blue's solution allowed Tyler to unite and monitor business processes visually. Using what is referred to as the "CMC Dashboard", he is able to measure the productivity of his sales team, prioritize tasks, and retain necessary documentation, notes and other important details.
CMC sought to automate processes and integrate with third party software. Linear Blue built these capabilities within CMC's FileMaker solution. CMC's sales order processing ("SOP") is now automated. Requests for approval for large orders are sent to management staff, to review order details and permit order processing within minutes. Integration of FileMaker with invoicing and shipping systems, speeds up SOP and ensures that clients are billed and receive products in a timely manner.
Linear Blue's SyncServer Pro synchronizes CMC's three (3) servers and secures their vital business data. This allows for safe, fast and round the clock remote access to data. Information is shared in real-time between three locations, and key personnel are able to access the same information from anywhere at anytime. For added security features include Restore Database, which provides the ability reinstate data from an audit log to within seconds of a crash or data corruption – a feature they haven't needed to implement yet due to the robust platform. Linear Blue's approach provides CMC with a bulletproof plan for data security and ensures they are kept up and running.
With CMC's data in different places and its sales statistics nearly nonexistent, it was difficult moving things through the pipeline and tracking efficiency. The Linear Blue solution included a sales pipeline which stored all opportunities in one place. Tyler also worked with Linear Blue to create a "suppliers" pipeline to help him stay up-to-date on purchasing and contracts. Linear Blue also designed and built advanced management reporting functionality, making it possible to run custom reports to measure sales progress and deliver automated timed reports through the week and month.
Moving forward CMC plans to continue to work with Linear Blue consultancy to enhance features and capabilities within the FileMaker system.
I have a lot of ambitious plans for FileMaker in the future and I look forward to realizing them with Linear Blue.

When the kids go back to school, it's time to reset their routine
Winnipeg Health Region
Published Tuesday August 24, 2010
When it's summertime, the living is easy. The back to school rush in September means adjusting to new classes, new teachers, new schedules, and a new social scene.
In order to help your kids adjust to the new routine, of getting up, dressed, fed and out the door with all their school gear, here are some tips to make the transition from summer to school as successful as possible.
Keep it simple
Take the time to organize your child's school gear, both before school starts, and also every school night.
"Parents lose things too, so have a spare set of keys where you can find them, your reading glasses, and something nice, like a Tim Horton's gift certificate, in case your day gets off to a challenging start," says Julie Sodomsky, a mental health clinician with Centralized Intake - Child and Adolescent Mental Health Program with the Winnipeg Health Region.
Eat, sleep, read
Beginning in August, start adjusting the time your child goes to bed and wakes up in the morning. Start tapering off their chance to sleep in and stay up late. Begin by having your child go to bed 15 minutes earlier and waking up earlier by the same time. Keep adjusting the sleep pattern by 15 minute intervals until you have your child on a school night schedule. A child who has had enough sleep is more likely to be awake in class and will retain more of what they are learning.
Summer holidays often mean a break from healthy eating, as your family indulges in treats like ice cream and chips. It's time to think about healthier food. Talk to your child about what they'd like to take in their lunch bag. Strive for well-balanced meals. Include a trip to the grocery store to talk about and buy healthy lunch choices, and then practice preparing the food at home with your child. For those days when everything is a rush, use a crockpot to make quick dinners.
"Your child may have done very little reading over the summer, so you'll need to ease them back into the academic swing of things. Take a trip to the library to check out some high interest books," says Sodomsky. "Read to your kids, especially at night when you are getting them to calm down and go to bed. Have them do mazes, word searches and sudukos, to help them practice school skills in a fun way."
Ease the anxiety
Going to school for the first time is a big step for the little ones. Changing from elementary to junior high is another. Kids have a lot of anxiety around going to school. The more you are available to talk to your child about their thoughts and worries about school, the more you can provide them the necessary support for success.
"When establishing a reasonable routine and structure to your family life in preparing for the school season, keep conversations open with your child. Some of their worries can be lessened by engaging in conversation," says Cheryl Chorneyko, a mental health clinician with the Student Mental Health Resource Team.
Some of those worries may include:
Visit the school with your child. For younger children, pretend it's your first day of school, and and have your child play tour guide. If your child is taking the bus, visit the bus stop go over bus rules. Older children may want to practice using their combination locks.
Routine, routine, routine
Once school has started, create a predictable structure for your child at home. This should include daily activities such as morning, after school and bedtime routines, and activities such as homework time, swimming, computer use, TV watching, lessons, other activities and regular family meal times.
Use a calendar to mark your child's activities and post it in a visible place. Designate a space for school bags, lunch kits and other equipment, and teach your child to put these items away at the end of the school day.
"Have a specific container or box that everyone's school notes go in. Teach your child to put all schedules and school correspondence into this box," says Sodomsky. "With everything in one place, there's no more running around. Just remember to take the time to look at this box nightly."

July 1st 2010, Alamo, California We, Indigenous women from the regions of North America, Latin America, the Arctic, Caribbean and the Pacific, gathered June 30th to July 1st, 2010 at the INTERNATIONAL INDIGENOUS WOMEN'S ENVIRONMENTAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SYMPOSIUM, in Alamo, California, hosted by the International Indian Treaty Council (IITC) and the North-South Indigenous Network Against Pesticides. We recognize and thank the Indigenous Peoples of this land called California for welcoming us to their beautiful land. We are traditional healers, midwives, youth and community organizers, environmental and human rights activists, teachers and traditional and cultural leaders. We are daughters, sisters, mothers, aunties, grandmothers and great grandmothers, youth and elders, members of great Nations who have always stood firm to defend our lands, our Peoples and our cultures. We work in our communities, homes, health centers, tribal and traditional governments and Indigenous organizations, on the local, national and international levels. We recognize and appreciate the important contributions that all of us, and many other Indigenous women around the world, are making to defend our lands, rights and the health of future generations, as well as the generations who have come before us. We have come together at this Symposium to share our information about the negative impacts of mining and drilling, mercury contamination, nuclear and uranium testing, processing and storage, pesticides and Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), military dumping, toxic waste incineration, desecration of sacred sites and places, introduction of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) and foods and harvesting of our genetic materials. We have listened to each other's stories, and have also seen the tragic effects within our own families, communities and Nations of the environmental, economic, social and cultural impacts of toxic contamination. These imposed, deplorable conditions violate the right to health and reproductive justice of Indigenous Peoples, and affect the lives, health and development of our unborn and young children. They seriously threaten our survival as Peoples, cultures and Nations. They also violate our rights as Indigenous Peoples to subsistence, spiritual and cultural survival, self-determination and free, prior and informed consent (FPIC). As Indigenous Peoples, and as the defenders of our future generations, we have vocalized our opposition to these forms of contamination of our homelands, air and waters for generations in many different regions, but far too often we are ignored. We have also shared our strategies and ideas about how to address these situations in our communities and around the world. We recognize that our fundamental, inherent and inalienable human rights as Indigenous Peoples are being violated, as are our spirits and life giving capacity as Indigenous women. Colonization has eroded the traditional, spiritual and cultural teachings...Read More
We, the Youth of the Haudenosaunee, on this 20th anniversary of Oka, declare our right to voice our concerns within our Nations, to be heard as equal counterparts, and to make an impact. We owe it to ourselves to continue on the path the Creator has laid before us. Just as they did at Oka, our ancestors sacrificed their lives for us – they survived the government's assimilation tactics. They believed that we, the next seven generations, are worth fighting for. This blood runs through our veins too. The issues that surfaced 20 years ago across our Haudenosaunee territories are the same we face now and are not easily solved, but our strength will persevere. History shows us this. We find peace in the fact that we are all descendants of Sky Woman. We can remind ourselves of our intentions by taking action. We must remain humble, listen to our instincts and teach each other how to return to the traditional teachings. We must have the courage and patience to learn from our Elders before it is too late. We recognize how substantial all these connections are to hold on to, as well as to teach, live, and breathe. We remember as our Great Law of Peace says that in every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation. This means we have a responsibility to continue on what was fought for at Oka. We remember and acknowledge the integral guidance and direction from our women during this time, and the sacred relationships women have with Mother Earth, as well as to make the decisions in our communities. We do not take this lightly. We remember and acknowledge that our children are closer to the Spirit world. As such, our children not only have an essential role to play in the leadership of our communities, but to ensure there is a future to fight for. This is how it must always be. It has been 20 years since the Oka crisis at Kanesatà:ke and we are not only here today because of this, but because of many centuries of warriors who had the courage to speak the truth, and the conviction to act from the heart. We know the manifestation of over 500 years of colonization and genocide has brought us to where we are now, but we will continue to resist every attempt to silence and oppress us. We declare today in unison that our rights are worth protecting and that we are committed to leading a new generation of youth to carry this on.

Being able to play easy guitar songs with simple open chords is an early goal for most guitar players.
For a total beginner, making sense of all the different chord progressions you need to know to play your favorite songs can be tough. But for a lot of guitar players, at some point, a light turns on when they realize, "Hey, a lot of these songs sound kind of similar."
I've chosen four songs that will help the new guitar player start to understand how their favorite songs are put together. Having this basic understanding of how the chord progressions are structured will speed your learning. And these four songs have been covered countless times, so you should know them!
Note: We'll just be talking about rhythm guitar and open chords and open chords in this lesson.
This ultimate song about how to dance was penned by Medley and Russell, popularized by the Isley Brothers, and shot into the stratosphere by The Beatles. Most of the song is just three chords: D, G, A. If you need help getting the rhythm you can watch a very good free guitar lesson at:
Twist and Shout Video Lesson
What you have when you play these chords is an example of a I IV V progression. Now it's good to know about chord theory, but what I want you to get is that these chords have a relationship with each other.
When you go from a D chord to a G chord in the key of D, you've got the same sound that you get when you go from a C chord to an F chord in C, or from a B chord to an E chord in B. So all chords have relationships with each other that depend on what key the song is in.
It may sound like work to learn these relationships, but you're going to find out two things. One: you can't avoid them. Two: they'll be easy to learn because they just sound natural. When you get a feel for how these changes sound you'll start to recognize them in other songs.
If you imagine how "Wild Thing" sounds in your head, you'll realize it sounds a lot like "Twist and Shout." But where "Twist and Shout" would just go D, G, A, "Wild Thing" would go D, G, A, and back to G. I'll give you another example with the next song.
Gloria is an easy song to play. Here's the chord progression:
That's it! Just E - D -A. Nothing comes more easily to a new guitar player than "Gloria." It's an easy song to rock out to, and every rocker out there has covered it. So learn it and have fun with it.
This is an example of a I-VII-IV progression. You'll see this one a lot.
Gloria song video lesson
Gloria song video lesson
You might know the Bob Dylan original, the Guns 'n' Roses cover, or Clapton's reggae take on the song. Probably all three. You'll be getting requests for this one.
Knocking on Heavens Door video lesson
This one has two different three chord progressions that start with G and D (or the I and the IV). One goes to A minor, the other goes to C. These two chords have a very special relationship because the A minor scale and the C major scale all have the same notes. Am is called the relative minor of C.
Knocking on Heavens Door video lesson
So what does "Knocking on Heaven's Door" give us? The world's simplest chord substitution. Taking a chord progression you know, playing it again but swapping out one chord for another is incredibly common. When you see this, you'll start picking up new songs faster, because one song you have learned may not be as different from another you want to learn as you think.
"Hallelujah" is a great Leonard Cohen song that John Cale made cool to cover with his version on piano, but Jeff Buckley perfected for guitar fans everywhere.
Hallelujah song video lesson
(this lesson is in a different key from what I've put above, but it's the best lesson on youtube)
Hallelujah song video lesson
Why did I put this song last? Because it ties together what you took away from the other songs and makes it easier to remember. The first verse describes the chord progression. Let me put it this way:
So I hope that helps tie things together for you.
A basic understanding of the I-IV-VI concept will help you learn songs easier and faster, and even be able to start writing your own songs.

View Primary Math Pal Schedules | View Teachers
We provide our students with a vibrant learning environment, supported by carefully created resources that truly encompasses all areas of mathematical mastery.
Our primary curriculum design process aims to:
• Comprehensively prepare and reinforce students' Mathematical knowledge
• Expose students to real-world applications of Mathematics
• Customise learning through customised lesson plans and materials
Our teachers cater to each student's needs through some consultation sessions that provide the avenue to clarify Mathematical misconceptions. The pace and flow of each class is dependent on the abilities of its students, thus providing the opportunity for each student to catch up or gain a head start in a foundational concept or a new topic of the Mathematics syllabus.
The Primary School Curriculum
Combining a primary mathematics curriculum that is catered to school needs with carefully crafted materials to reinforce basic conceptual skills, problem solving skills and critical thinking skills, students are trained to be skilled in time-management and in becoming effective self-directed learners. Students learn the concepts of every topic, and continue to build an understanding and apply the concepts learnt through the continual practice provided. The curriculum also aims to expose students to interesting higher-order thinking questions to prepare them for secondary education.

The Secondary School Curriculum
The Mathematics program for secondary school students aims to improve their academic performance in Math based on school and national exam. We focus on fundamental techniques, higher-order thinking and mathematical principles and we use materials that are specially created to give students from all streams a competitive edge. Basics in arithmetic are quickly introduced, with more challenging concepts covered in topics learnt in school. We hope to stretch students further and stimulate their interest in the subject by infusing real world application of math.
Mr Chua helms our upper primary and secondary mathematics classes. An experienced and resourceful educator, Mr Chua was a Senior Teacher in a prestigious school, specialising in mathematics and science. He has conducted many workshops for teachers and parents. Mr Chua is known for his knack for numbers, formulas and concepts, and his passion for teaching and learning. The great combination has endeared Mr Chua to his students.
Ms Pang has a wealth of experience in teaching children, and of course, motivating them to succeed in lower primary mathematics. She deepens the passion of children who love Mathematics, leading them on the path to excellence. For children who have a fear of the subject, Ms Pang has been able to dispel the negative feeling, and foster a positive attitude towards the subject.

We believe that Science is a subject where students must be given opportunities to discover and construct knowledge instead of learning by rote. Our learning outcomes are aligned closely to those specified by the MOE for Science education in primary schools and our teaching pedagogy has been customised to cater to the learning needs of the students, thereby making our Science lessons an enriching experience.
The PAL Science Programme aims to mentor students to be inquisitive learners and active participants in the classroom.
Our Approach
Our Science programme not only focuses on building up existing content knowledge but process skills too and is infused with various elements such videos, demonstrations, hands-on activities and carefully crafted notes and worksheets. Our curriculum uses inquiry-based learning as the main methodology which helps students make connections of relevant science concepts in daily life. We adopt a spiral approach where the basic facts on a topic is introduced first through hands-on experiments where applicable. Conducting simple experiments to verify what students have read from books reinforces their understanding of the underlying principles. Through time, more subject knowledge and content are progressively added through topical worksheets, targeting open-ended questions, to build on students' existing knowledge.
Students will be active participants in the learning process to acquire conceptual and answering technique skills. Besides enabling students to effectively tackle their school science examinations, these allow the basics to be captured in the students' long-term memory and the learning of scientific concepts to match their cognitive development.
Ms Pang leads our primary science in Pal Learning. She has served previously as a key personnel in a reputable school, focusing on the improvement of teaching, learning and assessment. She is deeply familiar with the plethora of concepts and skills in science, and is adept at setting exam questions and of course, spelling out and teaching the answering techniques. Dedicated and understanding, Ms Pang is the perfect teacher for young learners.
Mr Chua is passionate about Science and has been teaching upper primary science. He is known for teaching concepts to pupils and linking it to the questions using concept maps. His passion for the subject and his jovial personality has led him to teach concepts to students not by drilling but deepening their understanding of the concepts through the use of authentic real world situations. This has resulted in his pupils being able to apply the concepts to demonstrate their learning in various higher order thinking questions

Language must be acquired in a holistic manner and children learn best through themes as these provide a context for their learning. Developed around common themes and topics, the programme aims to provide students with the chance to learn English in an authentic environment. Our programme focuses on extending the child's linguistic abilities that are essential for writing and communicating effectively. The focus of the programme is in three of the most complex sections of the English Exam paper.
1. Composition
Themes are integral in the writing component. Students are provided with three pictures and are expected to write about the theme based on at least one of the pictures. This requires that students develop the right skills, vocabulary and content to write coherently based on the given theme. Thus, it is vital that students are exposed to a variety of themes so as to develop sufficient content and acquire the appropriate vocabulary to meet the requirements of the writing task.
Situational writing, which is a component in the PSLE Paper 1 will also be included on a regular basis. Skills taught in this component includes identifying the information from the stimulus and using appropriate vocabulary to connect the information into a coherent piece of writing.
2. Comprehension
Comprehension skills are taught through passages that complement the theme of the composition. This two-pronged approach provides students with the necessary exposure to various themes as well as the skills to better understand the text and synthesis the information in order to answer the various types of comprehension questions that students are tested in.
3. Comprehension Cloze
Completing a comprehension cloze is like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Passages are also selected based on the writing task so as to continually expose students to content and vocabulary in a thematic approach instead of in silos. Students are taught the necessary skills that are required to decipher the clues from the given passage in order to arrive at the appropriate answers.
Apart from the three components above, students will have ample opportunities to practice and improve their oral skills through the discussions and opportunities to collaborate with their peers.
After her graduation from the National Institute of Education in 1992, Ms Lee was posted to Ai Tong School. She taught the upper primary classes (P4-P6) and was appointed Head of Department (HOD) in 1997.

As the name suggests, it is where one can freely mix passionate Reds with splashes of creative Yellows and a generous expanse of emotive Blues. We value individuality and respect that every student is unique and has their own special flair when it comes to drawing and design. Thus we DO NOT adopt a run of the mill approach when it comes to teaching.
Core learning objectives:
A. Every lesson has a component that enforces fundamentals of drawing like strokes, shading, scale and proportion, colour and contrast. These are exercises that sharpen the fine motor skills of the students and are critical to the future development and pursuit of the fine arts.
B. Every student will also be given maximum exposure to the various art styles and media type so as to identify the ones they can truly excel in.
C. Most importantly, we encourage students to be proactive and engage in constructive dialogues with the teachers and eventually be confident in delivering their ideas and works of art.
Courses available: (Students will be recommended to appropriate course after assesment)
The Yellow Fledglings
Students will also get to experience a myriad of media types and drawing styles with no specific focus but simply general exposure to pinpoint their fortes.
This is the most basic tier where students will be closely guided in the first 45 min of every lesson so as to get their fundamentals right. The remaining time will see the teacher facilitate students in using what they have learnt to form their own individual works of art.
The Red Barons
The intermediary tier where students are required to have cleared the Yellow Fledgling Promotion test before signing up. Students in this tier are deemed to have a firm grasp of the fundamentals and thus their focus is on exploration, adaptation, and variation.
They are also supposed to have ascertained their preferred individual media type and style.
Students will be assigned individual and group projects to complete. Lessons will be in the form of presentations followed by critic sessions.
The Blue Bloods
This is for the free spirited individuals who are naturally gifted in aesthetics and require minimal guidance. This is definitely a place for inspiration to flow and is excellent for those who are looking for a channel to draw, paint, create.
Driven solely by his passion for design, architecturally trained Mr Lee helmed digital design giant Crystal Computer Graphics as the Vice President of Operations and Head of Design Training in a mere 5 years.
Firmly believing in promoting creativity amongst local talents, Lee worked closely with the Interactive Digital Media Office of MDA in spearheading multiple collaborations with giants like Industrial Light and Magic Singapore (Lucas films company which does Starwars), HP, Singtel, ST Singapore, etc to create interactive digital media content like the Virtual World Odyssey game for Youth Olympics Games Singapore.
Having seen the lack in local design talents, Lee embarked on his teaching journey, left the corporate world and created Artpod, a place to nurture young design artists who will be equipped with skills and the correct mindset to meet the ever changing and demanding corporate world.
After a decade of teaching, PALette will be the new pod in which Lee will introduce omni-directional learning across multiple fields centred around the core of design principles and philosophies in hope of creating a new generation of talents.
