As simple as that, the first test blog post goes up.
Here is the first image associated with this post. This shot was taken last year when we actually had a few clouds up in the sky on a Dubai "winter" evening. We managed to find a nice secluded spot just off the main highway where the gravel was just hard enough for the car to safely go off-road.
The post-processing behind this image uses luminosity masks in photoshop to selectively blend in different parts of the image shot at varying exposure levels.
Nik Software's (now Google) Color Efex Pro 4 was used to punch up overall details and grit on the ground and then selectively masked in as well.
I use this technique a lot in my images today as HDR tone-mapping causes a lot of noise and unwanted artefacts in the final output once sharpened.

Wearing black and brown together was once snubbed by stodgy fashion bourgeoisie until some fashion-forward provocateur created leopard print couture. Who said you can't wear white after labour day? Bend the rules and don 'winter white' in November. Fashion rules have slackened and women everywhere can be free from the noose that once choked their individual style.
No longer commiting a fashion heresy, I wore a geometric patterned red, pink and white chiffon dress with ruffles to the LuvLi Ladies' Show along with self-made accessries.
|AnKe Accessories
|AnKe Accessories: A closer look
Between the red/pink dress and the red/pink accessories, I knew my outfit was on colour overload. In my mind I likened my outfit to spicy food. A bit of caliente is good, but too much becomes unpalatable. Onlookers shouldn't have their eyes water when I walk by them.
|Dress: H&M
Belt: Dynamite
I needed some "yogurt" to simmer the spiciness of my colourful ensemble; so I added a beige wrap belt around my waist, interweaving the red chiffon sash that came with the dress into it- just for the sake of making things interesting. To top things off, I wore my beige patent leather Guess peep toe platforms along with a medium size clutch. (see Khemet Chronicles)
Yes, I've worn these items multiple times over. No, I don't have a problem with being "caught" wearing the same thing twice. Yeah...that's right. And what?

Online professional networks such as LinkedIn provide job applicants with a powerful tool to gain the attention of employers and recruiters. LinkedIn currently has over 42 million members in over 200 countries and territories around the world. Make the most of this vast network by creating a compelling profile of your experience and achievements.
The most significant portion of your LinkedIn profile is the summary section. Think of it as the online equivalent of a traditional 30-second elevator pitch. To that end, you should hit the high points of your background, illustrating your most prominent characteristics, accomplishments and goals. Be sure to express your individuality–what is it that makes you unique? What do you do better than your colleagues? Consider three priority messages you wish to communicate to your target market. Unlike a résumé, your summary should be an overview of your background; keep it short and focused on your target audience.
Following the summary is an opportunity to list your specialties. Here you should define the areas of expertise under which you want to be found when potential employers search for those skill sets. Begin by thinking of your job functions. For example, are you skilled in operations and general management? Do you specialize in contracts and procurement? List your functions and notable achievements, such as strategic planning, process improvement, restructuring and other skills.
After you've completed the summary section of your profile, it's time to consider your work experience and education. Begin with your most recent employment and include at least the name of your employer, job title and dates of employment. In the event you were promoted during your tenure with an employer, call attention to it by listing your title in terms of your career progression, e.g.., "Manager to Director." Optionally, you may include a brief description of each job. Moreover, note that it is common practice to treat a substantial volunteer position as a job provided that the volunteer nature of the position is indicated in some manner. In the education section, list all of your programs of study, including distinctions. Also, don't neglect any special training or certification programs relevant to your career goals. Further, add value to your experience and education section by securing recommendations from employers and classmates. As with any reference, choose individuals who are familiar with your work or academic accomplishments and who can attest to your skills and strengths.
In completing your profile you may include other information such as your interests, group memberships, honors and awards and websites. Use these additional sections to include information not listed elsewhere on your profile to more fully showcase your talents, expertise or background. For example, use the "interests" or "opportunity preferences" section in your contact settings to indicate the nature of contacts you seek, such as consulting offers, business deals or expertise requests. Be careful in selecting "career opportunities" if you are currently employed to avoid putting your job at risk. You may include in this section as well comments on your availability, specific types of projects or opportunities that interest you, and what information you'd like to see included in a request for your services. Group affiliations are likewise an effective way to network, particularly those affiliated with your educational institutions, job functions and industries or topics of interest. You may wish to consider forming a group of your own as well to carve out a niche in your targeted areas and make connections. Make sure those groups that are directly relevant to your career and networking goals are visible on your profile by clicking on the visibility button. Furthermore, honors and awards should include such items as academic honors (e.g., Phi Beta Kappa), company recognition awards, nominations for professional or civic awards, and your inclusion in well-known industry directories such as Who's Who.
Finally, don't forget to include references to blogs or websites that you control, particularly if they show a level of thought leadership in your field or targeted profession. LinkedIn allows inclusion of up to three sites as part of your profile. To maximize your site's visibility with search engines such as Google, choose a name for the site other than LinkedIn's default "My Website" or "My Blog." A better choice would be a word or phrase that seekers of your services would be likely to type into a search engine. You can also link a blog directly to your LinkedIn account so that it appears as part of your profile by visiting the "Featured Applications on LinkedIn" portion of your home page.
Once you've written a powerful and engaging profile, promote it by integrating your LinkedIn public profile web address (for example, http://www.linkedin.com/in/johndoe) into networking materials and e-mails to increase your visibility, and be open to invitations to connect. You never know where that next great lead may come from!

There is an art of how to walk in mud. One evening I was running an errand and the only place I could park close to my destination was right smack in the muddy parking lot! I had to think about how to park so that when I stepped out I would be in the least thickness of that North Carolina red slippery clay. Thinking about how to step out of the car and where to put my feet was also a consideration. Then figuring out how to navigate a gravel dirt parking lot that had turned to goopy red ochre puddles was also something to do with much thought, literally jumping from one side of the mush to the other side hoping for the harder higher ground to land on. I had to sacrifice my desire to keep my shoes clean in order to complete my task. I had to also accept that when I returned to the car I would have to go through this muddy mine field once again and bring onto my clean floor board of my car this red substance. So much to think about. Just so I could complete an important task I had made in my mind that was worth the effort.
Transitions in life are like this…Mud-Walking. Sometimes if we lose sight of the vision of the future and what we are trying to accomplish, we give up way to early, turning around and taking a path with less obstacles in the way, less goopiness. We all feel a need to change in our lives and this will bring transition. If we do not change then we will be stuck in the mud…which is like being in sinking quick sand, where we will never see the light or sink before we achieve what we desire.
As a coach and a therapist, but most of all a human being, I am well acquainted with being stuck and transitions. Being stuck signals to me that I must move into a time of change which is very much like the analogy of a muddy path, full of potholes and mud puddles that I have to navigate. William Bridges, author of Transitions: Making Sense of Life's Changes, says there are three phases of transition: Endings, The Neutral Zone, and The New Beginning. He says that "transition is the way to personal development."
The End is Where We Start From
- Managing Endings means letting go of the things of the past that do not serve you anymore. What has not been working for you?
- Accepting that something new is about to happen even if you do not know what it is yet. What is your vision for the future?
- Reframing the End as something that has brought you into a place of change no matter how hard it is. What does this ending mean to me? What am I learning?
- Allowing yourself to grieve the past. It is OK to feel the way you do, which may be disilluntioned, disoriented, sad, confused, etc. What do I need to do to take care of myself right now while this feels so awful?
- Recognize when there is sense of being stuck, that leads to a desire to for change, sometimes even excitement about the possibilities. This is the a signal that you are coming into the next phase of transition.
The Middle of the Path – The Neutral Zone
- This part of the journey is the hardest part…feels very uncomfortable and is truly a big muddy path. What can I do to make sure I have sure footing right now?
- The only way out is through. The Neutral Zone requires you to sit with pain, to act with intention and to dream big. It requires you to take small steps so you will not fall and when you do (and you will) to ask for help and get back up again. Who can I ask for support?
- Your life will feel like it is being torn up into bits, and that you cannot find direction. But if you are taking care of yourself, getting support and allowing yourself to dream, you will keep yourself together…and something beautiful will begin to form. Be willing to ask the hard questions and take a deep look at what you want next. What is it I want out of life? What is my dream?
- There is usually a determination and a sense of perserverance that motivates you through this change. Gaining insight about the future and support as you go through disappointment and difficulties can help in this stage. What is it that I am working toward? Who can encourage me? What strategies do I need to incorporate that will support me?
The Future – The New Beginning
- Sometimes there is not a clear definition of when you are finished Mud-Walking. But you will notice that the tightness in your inner body will begin to subside some, and you will have to remind yourself that you no longer have to be so concerned about falling in the mud, or making a mistake or the future. You are moving forward. You will notice yourself thinking more of the future, enjoying the present, less obsession on the past. What am I enjoying in my life right now? What do I want my life to look like?
- Beginning means you can frame your life pretty much how you want to…even if it is eventually. You will feel more in control, less controlled by your circumstances. You will realize that you actually were in control of how you got here, because it was you navigating, with the help of support, and you finally have sure footing. How can I celebrate? What have I learned? How can I continue to live in ways that I value? How do I want things to look now? What needs tweaking?
- Keep your eyes on the Prize! Keep your mind, body and spirit focused on your dreams, your goals, your intentions. This releases energy to move your forward, and a frame of reference to stay grounded. What inspires you? What motivates you? What is your purpose or mission?
So there you have it…Mud-Walking…only a small snippet of it, of course. You can apply these concepts to many areas of your life: relationships, work, dealing with losses, financial issues, creativity, spirituality and personal growth. If you want to know more about managing transitions I would recommend reading William Bridges books.
A transition is a normal part of any human's life multiple times, and you are not alone. As you go through a transition you may want to seek out support from family members, friends, mentors, and professionals such as a coach or therapist.

"I left the corporate arena... and one thing that I needed to find was an opportunity where I could make a decent income. With three children and a wife, two dogs and a few other animals.. so we went to work immediately when we bought our franchise and we worked extremely hard to get to where we are, but I'll tell you what - there has been a lot of success both from a personal standpoint and from a financial standpoint. I think I made a great decision as far as coming onboard with Our Town." - Chris Beer of Our Town (Atlanta, GA/North)
" I've been in outside sales for many years working for several companies. I was successful at making them money but my own personal reward wasn't ever to my expectations. I decided to look into a franchise system where I can be my own boss, have a flexible schedule and have that balance in life between work and family. I have found that with Our Town America. It's the perfect system for my needs. I can work from home and out of my truck. I don't have any employees to deal with, no overhead and no inventory. The support and training from corporate never ends and helps me be as successful as I can be. I now have the personal and financial freedom I've been looking for!" - Scot Hecht of Our Town of the Treasure Valley (Meridian, ID)

Rigvir® for Sale: Getting Qualified for Virotherapy Within Three Days
Cancer is insidious. It can escape after a full course of chemo or radio and then show up again. This is what makes most patients search for treatment alternatives to be used in addition to conventional medicine or independently.
And Rigvir® is one of these options for you to consider. It is the first non-genetically modified oncolytic virus able to recognize healthy and cancer-affected cells and kill the malicious disease without doing harm to surrounding tissues.
The medication was discovered back in 1960-70s by the team of Aina Muceniece, a Latvian scientist and immunologist. The virus was stemmed from the digestive kid system and passed a series of clinical trials (in 1968) to prove its significant therapeutic power. The medication was patented in 2002and registered in 2004 by the state authorities of Latvia as the major melanoma treatment.
It does not mean however that Rigvir® is accessible to the Latvian patients only. It can be shipped overseas too. Rigvir® availability details, effects, and treatment costs are described in the next few passages.
If you decided to start or keep on administering Rigvir® for cancer treatment, knowing your options can help you make the right choices.
Rigvir® Effects and Countries It Can Be Shipped to for Remote Treatment
One of the widespread questions about Rigvir® is that of how it works. As said before, the virus occurs naturally and has oncotropic and oncolytic effects. That is to say, Rigvir® identifies cancer cells in a human body and then replicates inside them destroying the tumor from within.
Rigvir® stimulates immune system to resist cancer and causes no harm to healthy tissues. The medication does not reproduce itself with time. Neither does it lead to addictiveness, which is safe for your health.
The only side-effects noted so far include slightly feverish temperature (up to 99.5°F/37.5°C) and fatigue during the first three days of the treatment.
As for the care options available, the patients eligible for the Rigvir® therapy can get treated both in Latvia and remotely, in their home cities, since the Rigvir® vials can be delivered worldwide including the US and UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and more.
Latvia is the place where oncolytic virus was first found and tested. The medical staff working there has decades of experience (since 1960s). They know how to deal with complex cases and conduct trainings for immunologists and oncologists from abroad. If you wish to compare Mexico and Latvia, please read about Rigvir in Mexico.
Survival Rates for Cancer Patients After Rigvir® Therapy
The truth is, Rigvir® is not a cure-all. It is primarily prescribed to melanoma patients and, as it turned out, the drug proves effective in other limited number of cases.
Still, the medication can significantly prolong lives compared to the results obtained after going through chemo or radiotherapy. Though, each case should be examined individually for you to not be misled.
This is what we know about success rates of the Rigvir® therapy (as stated by Acta Medica Lituanica, a medical journal, in 2002):
- Melanoma patients treated with surgery had a 3-year survival rate in 46-58% of cases. The Rigvir® patients showed the same survival rate (3 years) in 57-84% of cases while 44-66% of patients had a 5-year survival rate.
- Ocular melanoma patients treated with Rigvir® had a 3-year survival rate in 90% of cases and a 5-year survival rate in 70% of cases.
- Patients with stage III stomach cancer had a 5-year survival rate after surgery only in 24-33% of cases. Whereas the patients who passed through a virotherapy complete course had the same survival rate in 47-60% of cases.
- 41-68% of patients with stage II-IV rectal cancer had a 5-year survival rate after surgery, while the patients treated with Rigvir® (having the same diagnosis) showed a 5-year survival rate in 71-78% of cases.
More information on Rigvir® success rates was also provided by APMIS (Acta Pathologica, Microbiologica et Immunologica Scandinavica), a medical journal (July, 2016):
Before applying, you should consider the following requirements to become a successful candidate for Rigvir® treatment.
- You must be 18+ years old because the existing clinical experience in virotherapy for cancer is related to adults only.
- Your must have a confirmed oncological diagnosis because Rigvir® vaccine cannot be used as a preventative measure.
- You must have a solid tumor because there's no clinical experience showing that Rigvir® can help fight liquid cancers such as lymphoma, myeloma, or leukemia.
You Can Buy Rigvir® Vials After Your Case is Examined by the Latvian Medical Board Within Three Days
Below you can find the list of diagnoses sensitive to virotherapy and medical documentation for an oncologist to review your case free of charge:
Once you provide your medical reports, the review of your case will take no longer than three business days and will be completed by a team of oncologists in Latvia - homeland to Rigvir®. You will get an email from the patient manager who will notify you whether or not you qualify for virotherapy. If yes, you can start booking your flight tickets to Latvia. If the assessment of your case shows you can't benefit from virotherapy, you'll be informed immediately.
We are aware of how long it may take to request and wait for the files to be sent over to you. However, after you forward them for free case evaluation, it will take no longer than 72 hours to receive medical statement about whether you qualify for Rigvir® therapy along with other details about your treatment plan.

Much like last time I didn't lose much! I am actually up 1/2 a pound and did not lose any inches. I only missed one day for the whole month. Not too shabby on that part!
I've also continued on my runstreak and I have ran at least a mile every day since Thanksgiving. I need to do a run today, and tomorrow? I'm going to take a rest day.
This month has been one of the most stressful emotional months for me. Life just likes to throw shit at you sometime just to make sure you're still breathing. I think having these challenges for myself has actually helped me to keep my shit together a bit. Honestly I might have gained quite a bit if I had not had these things to focus on.
I've slowly been gaining weight since last year when I was training for my first half marathon. All those miles of running make me HUNGRY. That is part of the reason why after this next half marathon I want to just focus on making my 5k time faster and not so much on distance.
I know I need to buckle down and concentrate on my food choices. I do really well when I'm organized and plan out our meals and do meal prep. Sometimes I just get tired of doing it though and I'm like aw f'k it I'll just get Subway. And then I go into Subway and it's $5 foot long. Might as well get a foot long because it's cheaper and then before I know it I've ate the whole thing and a bag of chips.
Ah this weight loss thing, it's not so easy sometimes.
So onto February! Time to make a calendar and make a plan! I'm trying to decide what my plan will be. I haven't been to the gym all month and I think I'd like to find some kind of lifting plan to do. I'm also doing my half marathon training for my half in March. Work has been crazy busy and is not going to calm down anytime soon. So ahhhh trying to find the balance. Still working on that.Pin It

Last updated: January 16, 2020
Since 2015, numerous cities and counties in Florida have taken marijuana policy into their own hands, by enacting ordinances to reduce the chances that marijuana consumers will be arrested and incarcerated. These ordinances — which give officers the discretion to impose civil penalties for most minor marijuana offenses — can prevent marijuana consumers from the trauma of arrest and the damage caused by the "scarlet letter" of a criminal record. They also allow for law enforcement resources to be reallocated toward crimes that endanger public safety.
Unfortunately, despite broad support among voters, state law has remained unchanged, leaving those caught in possession at risk of arrest and jail. Under Florida state law, marijuana possession is a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. Please take a moment to urge your representative and senator to support a statewide law to remove criminal penalties for possession.
- In June 2015, Miami-Dade County commissioners, by a 10-3 vote, passed an ordinance that gives police the option not to arrest those caught with less than 20 grams of marijuana. Instead, an officer might write a civil citation resulting in a $100 fine. The ordinance went into effect July 10, 2015, making Miami-Dade the first county to explore decriminalization.
- In July 2015, Miami Beach unanimously passed a similar ordinance, also applying to less than 20 grams of marijuana and also resulting in a discretionary $100 civil fine.
- Then, in early August 2015, Broward County's Hallandale Beach followed suit: Effective September 19, 2015, possession of 20 grams or less can result in only a $100 fine.
- Later that August, Key West commissioners voted unanimously to give police the option of issuing $100 civil fines in lieu of making arrests for 20 grams or less of marijuana.
- West Palm Beach joined the trend in September 2015 when it approved a measure that gives police the option of $100 fines instead of arrests for 20 grams or less.
- In early November 2015, Broward County unanimously approved an ordinance giving police the option to issue $100 civil fines rather than arrests for those caught with 20 grams or less. Fines would be $250 for second offenses and $500 for third offenses. An ordinance much like Broward County's was passed by its city of Wilton Manors, near Ft. Lauderdale, in late November.
- In December 2015, the Palm Beach County commissioners voted 4-1 to give police the option to issue a $100 civil fine for possession of up to 20 grams of marijuana.
- In March 2016, Volusia County, which includes Daytona Beach, became the first county in central Florida to join the trend when the council unanimously passed an ordinance giving officers discretion to issue $100 tickets, again for possession of up to 20 grams.
- Also in March 2016, Tampa passed an ordinance giving police the option of issuing a civil fine, rather than arresting, those caught with 20 grams or less of marijuana. The amount would increase each time, from $75 to $150 to $300 to a maximum of $450 for the fourth offense.
- In May 2016, Orlando passed an ordinance that gives police the discretion to issue $100 tickets for a first offense of possession of up to 20 grams and $200 tickets for a second offense; those who cannot afford the fines can do community service or take a drug class instead. The ordinance will take effect on October 1.
- In June 2016, Osceola County passed an ordinance that allows police to issue a $100 ticket for marijuana possession, subject to their discretion. Cities will be able to opt out of the ordinance.
- Alachua County passed a similar ordinance in August 2016, which allows a civil citation to be given in lieu of arrest. The fines are $100 for a first violation, $150 for a second citation, and $200 for a third one. Those who cannot afford to pay may elect to do community service. People may receive a maximum of three such citations, and on the third citation must be screened to determine if they need drug treatment.
- In September 2016, Port Ritchie passed an ordinance that allows a $155 civil citation to be issued in lieu of arrest for possession of up to 20 grams of marijuana, as long as the person is not engaged in any criminal activity at the time.
In December 2019, the Sarasota City Commission voted 5-0 to decriminalize possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis. Possession of 20 grams or less now carries a $100 fine or the completion of 10 hours of community service.

Get Rid of Splogs Once and For All
Everyone needs help defending themselves against the wicked little robots that roam about creating spam blogs, sometimes by the thousands. Your WPMU installation can quickly become overrun and deleting these fake users can take hours. This is an unacceptable waste of your time. Getting rid of splogs once and for all depends on where they're coming from and can sometimes take a combination of methods. You will have to find what works for your WPMU community. We've put together a collection of tools, snippets, and plugins from various developers to help you in the ongoing battle against splogs.
Modify Your .htaccess File:
Get Apache working for you and kick them out at the door!
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} POST
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} .wp-signup\.php*
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !.*yourdomain.com.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^$
RewriteRule (.*) http://get-the-heck-out.com/ [R=301,L]
Here's what you do. Paste that into your .htacess file and modify "yourdomain.com" to match yours. Then change the "get-the-heck-out.com" link to wherever you want to send those nasty robots. How does it work? It grabs any post requests that come through your wp-signup.php and kicks them right out if it hasn't been sent from a web page on your WPMU site or if it has an empty user agent string. Thank you again to D'arcy Norman for this tip!
Block IP Addresses:
Check your server logs to find out where they're coming from and block their IP addresses in your .htaccess file:
order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.44.201
deny from 184.108.40.206
deny from 172.16.7.92
allow from all
or block a range of IP addresses:
order allow,deny
deny from 192.168.
deny from 10.0.0.
allow from all
Oh yeah and while you're in there, if they're hotlinking your images, here's how you throw down:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://.*lame-bandwidth-theft\.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* – [F]
That will give a 403 Forbidden error to anyone trying to hotlink your images on lame-bandwidth-theft.com.
Plugins you can use:
WP Hashcash
This plugin is for WPMU. It gets rid of comment spam and has been modified to work on the signup page.
NoSpamNX will automatically add additional form fields which are hidden to the user when interacting with your site's signup or comment forms. The additional fields are used to identify and block the spambots. You can mark them as spam, block them, put them in a queue for moderation or blacklist them.
Invisible Defender
Similar to NoSpamNX, this plugin adds additional fields with CSS to protect registration, login and comment forms . It performs checks for spambots and returns a 403 Forbidden error to them.
Terms of Service
This plugin can significantly reduce the number of splogs you get. It forces the user to have to tick the checkbox in agreement of terms of service before they can continue.
This is a good start. The bots are constantly learning and adapting their tactics to get past your best defenses. Please share any other methods you've used to banish splogs and we'll all work together to continue issuing them death warrants.Tags:

Whenever you add a new supplement to your diet, you already know about its benefits. Otherwise, you wouldn't be adding it. But what about its side effects? No matter how effective, or useful, something is, it's important to be aware of any problems that may arise. Knowing the side effects of BenVia Gold is no different.
Most of the side effects reported with using BenVia Gold, or chia seeds, occur when using unusually large amounts of the seed and are caused by one culprit: fiber. For most people, these BenVia Gold side effects can be avoided by using the recommended amount – 1 scoop per day. Still, they are worth talking about.
Temporary Side Effects of Fiber
Most of us don't get enough fiber in our diets. Because of this, when we add fiber to our daily routine too quickly, it can often cause physical discomfort, including mild cramping, bloating, even occasionally diarrhea. Since BenVia Gold is high in fiber, some people may experience this adjustment period.
One way to minimize the effect of the fiber is to spread the amount of BenVia Gold you take throughout the day. Instead of using the entire scoop with breakfast, use a third of it with every meal. The good news is these symptoms of this chia seed side effect will decrease, and eventually disappear, as our bodies adjust to having enough fiber working in our systems.
Is BenVia Gold Worth It?
Yes, definitely. First, the benefits of BenVia Gold reach far beyond just the amount of fiber you will get. BenVia Gold chia benefits your system in so many ways, providing amazing support to your blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol balance, energy, skin, digestion and so much more. For complete details on all the health benefits of BenVia Gold chia, check out this article. Or if pictures are better than words for you, take a look at this awesome infographic.
But aside from the benefits of BenVia Gold chia, fiber itself is good for us. Most of us don't get enough in our diets. And fiber does everything from help keeping us regular to promoting heart health. Adding BenVia Gold to our diets gives us all the benefits of chia – including healthy amounts of fiber.
When Used Safely, BenVia Gold Is Safe
Everything has side effects, especially if used incorrectly or improperly, even something as essential as fiber. So, while we won't say there are no BenVia Gold side effects, we will say that they are almost all avoidable. When used correctly, BenVia Gold will improve your health and make you feel better. It's that simple. More isn't always better – but feeling good always is.

Findlay, OH – The University of Findlay men's basketball team held on to defeat the Ohio Dominican Panthers on Thursday, Jan. 19 by a score of 72-69. With the win, the Oilers improve to 13-4 on the year with a 7-3 mark in Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) play while the Panthers fall to 10-7 overall and 5-6 in the league.
Findlay looked to be in control after 20 minutes of action, taking a 38-24 lead into halftime. In that half, the Orange and Black shot 57% from inside the three-point arc and held the Panthers to just 10-of-28 from the floor with just one ball made from deep.
The second half was different as the Panthers would crawl back thanks in part to a 13-5 run over a three minute stretch shortly after the half began. That cut the Oilers lead to 54-49 with 11:42 to play.
Ohio Dominican would get to within one point at 70-69 with just 16 seconds to play. A pair of free throws from junior Martyce Kimbrough forced the Panthers to attempts a three at the buzzer, which they missed, securing the Oilers victory.
Senior Tyler Stern-Tucker was the leading scorer for Findlay who dropped a career-high 21 points on 9-of-16 from the floor. His nine rebounds tied a season-high and nearly gave him his first career double-double.
Sullivan and Kimbrough scored 20 points apiece and each grabbed five rebounds. Sullivan had three assists while Kimbrough had two.
The Oilers' next game is this Saturday, Jan. 21 when they host Lake Erie College in a game slated to begin at 3:00 pm.

03/12/2015 | Racing
The all-new Pirtek Racing livery for Andrew Jordan's 2016 MSA British Touring Car Championship campaign has been revealed.
The striking blue chrome livery, which will adorn the Motorbase Performance-prepared Ford Focus, was unveiled to Pirtek guests and other sponsors and partners during a lunch at the BRDC Clubhouse at Silverstone today (Wednesday 2 December).
"The Pirtek Racing livery is now an iconic livery in motor racing and it has a very strong following," said Andrew. "We've gone for a brighter blue and it looks very distinctive. It is very, very impressive and I'm sure the car is going to go as well as it looks!"
The new livery was chosen in response to overwhelming feedback when Andrew raced with a limited edition chrome livery last year at Snetterton. The special one-off livery marked a new three-year partnership agreement between Andrew and Pirtek. The launch of the new Pirtek livery came just 24 hours after it was confirmed that the BTCC's unrivalled live TV coverage on ITV4 will continue until at least 2022. The 2016 season starts at Brands Hatch over the weekend of 2/3 April. Andrew, Pirtek Racing and Motorbase Performance will start a major title bid at the home track for the Motorbase team.
Pirtek is Europe's number one provider of fluid transfer solutions and mobile hose replacement, with over 170 centres supported by over 700 mobile service workshops throughout Europe; offering solutions to a number of business sectors including the automotive industry.

This is a growing page for detailed instructions and printables needed to make our Book Report Lapbooks. We're working on this section as we go through various books in our homschool journey.
I Stink Lapbook I Stink is a book by Kate and Jim McMullan that takes children along the morning route of a garbage truck. My son was enamored with this book, especially the Garbage Truck ABC's. We made a lapbook to go along with this book which could easily be tied into a "recycling" theme lapbook as well.
Stone Soup Lapbook There are so many different versions of Stone Soup that you could really have some fun with this one. We used the classic "Stone Soup" by Marcia Brown for a baseline for our lapbook. This is a fantastic tale for children, and can be tied into character education themes as well.
Little House in the Big Woods LapbookThis is a fun lapbook based on the Little House series by Laura Ingals Wilder. Children will be able to follow along with some daily reading suggestions with fun activities to go alongside each theme.
Kit Kittredge: An American GirlThis lapbook is based on the movie and not so much the books. Although you might find that they overlap in parts, this lapbook was put together alongside the movie as a fun way to explore the historical topics presented.
Winnie the Pooh Lapbook This is a lapbook based on the story "Winnie the Pooh and some bees." There are many beloved Winnie the Pooh stories that some of these printables will work for as well. Please note that the graphics used in this lapbook come with permission from www.DisneyClips.com

In the Initial Operating Capability (IOC) Field test you install the App in a mirror of the production environment and have the target audience test it. It is similar to a Beta test.
Most VA Apps must enter and successfully exit an IOC Field Test after successfully completing the Preproduction Simulation. Apps that VA determines pose no risk to safety and security may be eligible to skip IOC entry and use Compliance Review approval to satisfy IOC exit. VA is currently updating and streamlining the legacy IOC Field Test process for VA Apps. We will be updating this section regularly as these processes are finalized. If you have an MAE JIRA account you can view the latest internal IOC workflow by visiting:
These are the general IOC Field Test tasks:
- The VHA Release Management Team for IOC determines if the App requires IOC Entry Approval. For some very-low risk Apps, passing Compliance Review is sufficient.
- If it does not require IOC Entry Approval, the Project Manager prepares an IOC exit document based on Compliance Review reports.
- If it does require an IOC Field Test, the Project Manager submits the IOC Artifacts to obtain VHA Release Management approval for IOC entry.
- The Release Manager submits a request for a Field Test.
- The Information Technology Operations Manager installs the Field Test system components.
- End Users test the App. For VA Apps, IOC Field Testing does not necessarily occur at VA sites; End Users may be recruited from multiple sites.
- When the App passes all testing, the Project Manager submits the App for VHA Release Management and Enterprise System Engineering approval.

We grow as many as eight varieties of strawberry so we can extend the season. Using polytunnels are fantastic for helping the strawberries come a little earlier and protecting the fruit. A lovely place to be picking on a wet day.
Our seasonal farm shop (1st May to August) stocks an assortment local produce. Don't miss Maggie's wonderful strawberry jams, she has been known to make 12 different varieties!
Strawberries..................May to July
Raspberries...............June to Mid July
Cherries........................July June
Blue Berries....................Mid July
These dates may vary due to the weather.
Strawberry nutrition.
Strawberries can be classed as a superfood due to their nutrient content and delicious taste. Just one serving, a cupful, will provide you with a high amount of vitamin C (149% of your daily recommendation for 2000 calories a day diet) which will help to support your immune system, will help your body to absorb iron and will help your body to stay healthy and fight damaging free radicals.
A Cupful of Strawberries also contains 3% of your daily recommendation for iron, 2% of calcium, and 12% of fibre. Studies have also shown they can be eaten to help reduce high blood pressure because they contain a good level of potassium.

Under the title: "The UN disrepute itself", Turkish Cypriot daily Milliyet newspaper (28.06.17) reports on statements by former Turkish Cypriot negotiator and leader of the People's Party (HP) Kudret Ozersay, who in statements to social media, evaluated the statements made yesterday by the UN Secretary General's Special Adviser on Cyprus, Espen Barth Eide prior the launching of the Cyprus Conference in Crans Montana.
Commenting on Eide's remarks that the "joint document" which was prepared prior to the conference was not going to be on the table since it has been rejected multilaterally, Ozersay condemned the UN's stance which is against those scuffing and claimed that the UN's stance prior to the conference predisposes the prevention of the prodcution of an important result from the Conference.
Also, referring to other statements by Eide, Ozersay said: "He says that 'Crans Montana Cyprus Conference will not be the last chance but the best chance that could be found. However, ten days before in a similar press conference he used the expression 'final Conference'".
Ozersay condemned further Eide's statements concerning the territory issue, supporting that Eide on the one hand stated that the difference between the sides concerning the territory percentage is less than 0,5%, while, "we knew that the difference is 1%", said Ozersay, wondering for which reason the UN behaves in such a way. Ozersay accused further the UN of falling into contradictions, alleging that with contradictory statements the UN loses its creditability and totally destroys all pieces of trust for the current negotiation process.

- Description
Alesis DM6 USB Kit
The Alesis DM6 USB Kit (Formerly DM6 Kit) highlights the best of Alesis' 20 years of experience in professional electronic percussion gear. This electronic drum set features a completely new sound module with 108 quality drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds. Its pads feel great and its hardware and rack system are high quality.
Like all Alesis drum sets, the DM6 USB Kit features realistic, natural-feeling playing surfaces. To reduce vibration feedback, we selected natural rubber drum and cymbal surfaces for the DM6 USB Kit's pads. This five-piece kit gets you started on a dual-zone snare pad for two-sound compatibility. You can dial in a snare drum sound in the center and a rim click, rimshot, or something totally different like a cowbell on the rim!
The DM6 USB Kit also comes with three tom pads, an upright kick drum pad, hi-hat, crash, and ride cymbal pads. It even comes with an Alesis bass drum pedal and kick pad for your personal feel.
The DM6 module features an internal collection of drum, cymbal, and percussion sounds that will blow you away. You can edit and save your drum kits for custom sounds. You get 10 presets and 5 custom slots. In addition to the sounds in the DM6 module, there's a USB output that sends the notes you play out as MIDI signal, so you can use the DM6 as a trigger-to-MIDI interface with drum-module software such as BFD, Toontrack, or Reason for a limitless collection of sounds.
The DM6 has headphone and amplifier outputs so you can play quietly in phones or connect up and rock out. You can also connect your iPod or CD player and mix it in with the DM6's stereo input jack.
Practice Tools
The DM6 module has a metronome, an essential tool for keeping steady time whether you're practicing alone or with a band. The DM6 also has a built-in sequencer with 40 preset music tracks for play along.
Rugged Hardware
A drumset is only as strong as its weakest link. The DM6 USB Kit mounts on a heavy-duty aluminum rack. The standard 1 1/2" tubing enables you to add on with Alesis and other brands' clamps and mounts. The kit also comes with a full set of mounting hardware and cables, as well as rugged kick drum and hi-hat pedals.

The Irish Dairy Board has acquired a Spanish cheese manufacturer which supplies one of the biggest pizza chains in Europe.
The cooperative is to acquire the trade and assets of Luxtor, which is a subsidiary of and supplier to Telepizza.
Telepizza has more than 600 outlets in Spain, with a significant presence in a number of other countries including Portugal, Poland, Chile and Columbia.
IDB said the acquisition included Luxtor's long-term contract to supply cheese to Telepizza.
The company said the purchase would strengthen its position in the quick service restaurant industry and would also provide a new route to market for Irish dairy products ahead of the abolition of milk quotas next year.
IDB chief executive Kevin Lane said Luxtor's location would allow to act as a "trading and sales hub to service our growing Southern European customer base", giving Irish farmers greater access to the region as a whole.

I've said before I'm not that into clothes and I especially don't like shopping for them. Well something has shifted and this is no longer true. I have a little confession…. I find myself thinking about shoes sometimes a lot. And there's more. I have thoughts of entire outfits that I don't even have an occasion for. There I said it. Fashion fantasizing – I'm copping to it. That's the first step – admitting, right?
One of the reasons for my shift is perhaps because the new trends are finally feminine and thus incredibly flattering!!! No more MC Hammer-style pants and boxy blazers and what up with all the 'boyfriend' stuff?
So, I thought I would share my list of things I covet for the Spring… Let the fashion fantasizing begin!
1. Flared skirt. I bought one last spring and was amazed at how versatile and flattering it is. It looks great on every body type!
Olivia Palmero
This is the skirt I have by Robert Rodriguez
2. Pencil skirt. The ubiquitous pencil skirt never really lost it's place as a fashion mainstay, but it seems now there are more fabric choices, patterns and lengths to choose from. I find the slightly longer length – to just below the knee – to be the most flattering.
3. Bomber jacket. Omg, I LOVE these, but they are definitely a trend and will probably be out next year. So, don't buy an 'investment' piece. Still, there are lots of fun options out there!
4. Pink. Did you know pink is THE color for Spring? Here's another confession…pink is my favorite color. For obvious reasons, I don't wear it out much other than running attire and my fuzzy pink wear-around-the-house socks obsession, but now the fashion police have given the green light to bust out the pink!
Paris Fashion Week
5. Gold accessories. For like ever it seems, platinum and silver were the metals of choice. I'm loving the change to the warmth of gold jewelry and accessories. It also looks great with pink!

6. Shoes with an ankle strap. Any heel height. Any time. Any occasion.
J. Crew
A little tidbit I just discovered. When you pin an item of clothing (or maybe anything?) from it's original ecommerce site onto a Pinterest board, Pinterest notifies you when it goes on sale! i had no idea until I received an email letting me know a maxi skirt I pinned a week ago has been marked down.
As if we don't yet another reason to fall into the abyss otherwise known as Pinterest! More of my fashion pins are on my Pinterest page – here.
Happy Sunday!

A few minutes from the main square, is Bratislava's Holocaust Memorial, which commemorates the approximately 90,000 Slovak Jews who were killed in the Holocaust.
I wish that I had taken more, and better, pictures of the memorial, which has many interesting components including the Star of David, bullet holes, outstretched hands, and pages of a book, to symbolize that the Jewish people are called "the people of the book."
The base of the memorial has the Slovak and Hebrew words for "remember" written on it. Why do you think that the word "remember" was chosen for this memorial?

Me at IMATS, wearing a Button from GGF.com. They have the funniest shirts and such for makeup artists (MUA) to wear. Like a t-shirt that shows a makeup brush and reads "it's Not a magic wand"!
This past weekend, Kathleen (makeup artist friend) and I stayed in Chelsea, NYC for IMATS -International Makeup Artist Trade Show. We stayed at Ink48 (a Kimpton boutique hotel) and simply.... I highly recommend it. We could walk to Pier 94 for the show which was great.
Gorgeous through and through with a stellar restaurant, Print on the first floor.
Great food, drinks and staff left us feeling wonderful.
Cocoa ribbon pasta, sugar peas, Brussels Sprouts and Pancetta in a Parmesan Cream Sauce was divine.
The garden bar on the top floor had one of the most brilliant views I've ever had the good fortune to see.
Friday night of IMATS was open to Makeup Professionals only. Thank goodness because we would have gotten nothing done without pro night. The rest of the weekend was open to the public and consisted of lots of young girls looking to spot their favorite YouTube beauty guru. In short it was irritating but I do understand, so again, thank the Lord for Pro night.
Me with 5 time Emmy Award Winning MUA, Eve Pearl! She was lovely. Very gracious and helpful. More about Eve: http://www.evepearl.com/spages/eve-story.htm
I met amazing artists of whom I greatly admire and covet their mad skills... Perhaps some day ;).
I bought my very first cosmetic grade airbrush with water based and water proof makeups. Yippee! This makeup and application is virtually undetectable to the eye and camera lense. In addition it is sweat and transfer proof, totally! 12 hours of lasting makeup...no problem!
I researched this purchase since October and very glad I waited for the Kett Pro System and the better show pricing and freebies :) Now, I just need to complete the class and lots of practice in the coming weeks. More about Kett : http://kettcosmetics.com/
Maybe I can learn how to do this?
Model getting airbrushed.
Completed look! Fabulous :)
Another highlight for me was meeting Dom Briguglio, a master level MUA from Stila. I admire Dom because he started out as a painter like myself. He started at a Sephora in 1998 and is now Director, North American Sales & Pro Artistry Relations for Stila! Go Dom go!
As you can imagine, not all in the beauty industry are always the nicest peeps but I can truly say that everyone we met were nothing short of lovely and Dom was so exceptionally sweet. I would have loved to spend more time with him to get to know him better because I just loved his energy and kindness.
Me, Dom and Kathleen outside the Stila booth.
More about Dom: http://www.stilacosmetics.com/procommunity/dom.asp
So,in short, I came back inspired. I have spent the last few days in the studio working on 1 assemblage painting (wip photo on fb tomorrow) that is coming together nicely and my nights practicing my airbrushing techniques. It's really nice to feel challenged and on task.
Happy creating my friends~

When rice is mixed with water, a large amount of Vitamin B-group will be created. Also, rice can function as exfoliation and smoothens skin. Vitamin B can be used to remove melisma and whiten skin. White rice contains numerous types of nutrients that can brighten skin up. It also contains "water soluble vitamins" and "minerals", and in particular, it contains an abundance of vitamin B. Vitamin B is not only essential to our health, but also is necessary to maintain our skin condition. The lack of vitamin B in our skin would lead to various skin problems. For example, lacking B1 would cause dry skin and create wrinkles. Without sufficient B2 would trigger angular cheilitis and skin ageing problems. While the shortage of B6 would hinder the absorption of amino acid, the composition of protein, and the regeneration of cells. Vitamin B1, B3, and B5 are able to function as an anti-allergy solution. Some research proves that Vitamin B3 can whiten skin effectively.
According to legend, when Empress Wu Zetian in Dang Dynasty Empress Wu (the only female monarch of China) is at the age of 50, her skin is as young as a 15 years old girl. When she is 80 years old, her skin does not look old. The reason why her skin could still be kept in such good condition is that she uses motherwort-made skin care products. Motherwort is beneficial for the woman. It not only helps to tackle dark skin spots and reduce wrinkles, but also facilitates the detoxification of body and cure acnes.
A natural whitening mask created by 7 kinds of Chinese medicine including Atractylodes macrocephala, Angelica dahurica, Bletilla striata, Ampelopsis japonica, White Poria, Paeonia lactiflora Pall and Pearl Powder. This recipe is secretly inherited from the palace.
Function: Corrects dark spots and whitens skin, removes melisma and wrinkles, cures acnes and moisturizes skin. By boosting blood circulation under the skin, it enhances cell regeneration which boosts skin elasticity as well as prevents sagging skin.

It's a mid-summer day. Outdoors feels like a broiler. The only thing keeping everyone from melting is that blissful air conditioning. And then … something goes wrong.
That's when people panic. An air conditioning system is a big-ticket item. When the slightest problem occurs, the fear is that the cost will be unmanageable.
You might be relieved to know that many common air conditioning repairs are not excessive. One of the most costly mistakes a homeowner can make is to avoid air conditioning repairs when the problem is simple. As with any mechanical system, if you run your air conditioning unit with a small maintenance problem, it is likely to create bigger problems.
A professional air conditioning repair service can help you cool off in no time, and the problem might be very simple. Here are some of the most common air conditioning repairs:
Power Source – Sometimes, the problem might be as simple as a tripped circuit breaker. Check this first.
Filter Replacement – If you haven't replaced your filter recently, this might be part of the problem. This is an easy fix that is good for your air conditioning unit and good for you. It helps keep the air clean and keeps your air conditioning system running smoothly. See if this doesn't improve the problem before considering other repairs.
Thermostat – If your thermostat is not working correctly or needs adjusting, the entire system can't cycle on and off properly. Older thermostats especially might experience minor problems. A thermostat repair can be very simple, a matter of a small adjustment. Even if it needs replacing, it is not the most expensive part of your air conditioning unit.
Refrigerant Recharge – Refrigerant is used to lift heat from the air inside your home, so it can be discharged outside. As the refrigerant cools, a fan blows air across it to send cool air into your home. Often, a refrigerant leak will cause the system to malfunction. This is a common repair made by air conditioning service professionals.
Fuses – Air conditioning fuses are another common repair. Fuse repairs involve electricity and this is not something you want to do yourself. Fuse problems can have simple causes, including overheating. A repair professional can have your system working in no time.
Fan – The fan in the outside unit can stop working. Sometimes this can result from a simple blockage. At other times, the motor might need to be replaced. While this is not the cheapest repair to your air conditioning unit, it will save you the aggravation and additional expense of running the unit on a bad motor, which can damage the compressor. An air conditioning repair professional can assess the problem and provide the best solution.
Condensate Drain or Pump – This is the drainage network that removes accumulated condensation from your air conditioning system. When the drainage system is blocked or the pump fails, the water runoff can leak. This can create water damage in your home if left unattended. The leak might be caused by a simple clog that is easily cleaned. Whether the lines need to be flushed or a new pump purchased, this is a common repair.
So, if all is not well with your air conditioning unit, don't panic. Take it one step at a time. Rule out the simplest solutions and make notes of what exactly is going wrong. An air conditioner repair professional can help you sort through the next steps.

While across town, I stopped into the a clearance store for the local sporting good store. I was looking mainly for a running hat, but I was surprised to find they had a ton of bike stuff. And I was really surprised when I found a whole load of Pedro's cone wrenches!!!! The good ones with the yellow handles. And they were all 40% off the lowest ticket price! I ended buy two 13mm wrenches, two 14mm wrenches, two 16mm wrenches, a 32mm wrench, and a 36mm wrench. The two biggest cost about $4.50 each, and the smaller ones cost about $2.50 each! I also bought a bottom bracket tool. I have a Park Tools version, but I got this one dirt cheap, so I have a backup. And I also bought a Predro's freewheel remover. Again, I have a Park Tools freewheel remover, but I got a backup at a price I could't turn down!
Then I got a small bottle of Pedro's lubricant!
I had been thinking about ordering a set of the Pedros wrenches! I have even been watching and eBay auction. Now I just need to buy a couple 15mm wrenches. I have a cheap Park Tools 15mm/16mm wrench that will work for now.
Today as we were heading off to drop off our dog at the kennel, I saw a bike that had been put out to the curb. I stopped to look at it. It turned out to be a Nashbar mountain bike. Since I had my wife in the car, and the dog in the back seat, and the trunk was full, I couldn't just grab the whole thing. I looked over the parts, and quickly grabbed the seat and seat post. My wife's bike needs a new seatpost. She needs a 27.2 mm post.
On the way home, I pass the bike again. But I considered, and there were no parts that I really NEEDED off the bike other that the seat post. I already have too many bikes. But if it have been a better quality road bike, I might have considered taking the whole thing.
When we got home, I tried the post on her bike, but it was too small. The seat was also a cheap seat in poor condition. So a little later as I passed the bike again, I through the seat/seatpost back onto the bike in case someone else wanted it. If I had had tools, I might have snagged a few components such as the Shimano cantilever brakes.
I overhauled both the front and rear hubs on my wifes Trek bike. But the rear hub was a headache. I have reassembled the thing initially, and it didn't spin smoothly. I took it apart, and reassembled it. I would tighten the cones, and it would feel like it was starting to bind, so I would back off the cones, and the axle would have some play…too much play! It was driving me nuts. I hub the dust covers with the hollow side in, but I noticed the from had the hollow sides out, so I tried that. It seemed a little better. When I mounted the wheel on the bike, there was still way too much play. I think the rubbing I am feeling is the dust cover which is jammed onto the cone. So the cone is not fully resting against the bearings.
So I had some time last night. I took the wheel off, and partly disassembled the rear hub again. I did one side at a time, leaving the bearings in place. I removed the lock nut, spacer, cone, and dust cover. I used a flat tip screw driver to cake some grease on to the bearings. I inserted the dust cover hollow side in. I screwed the cone onto the axle. When it engaged the dust cover, and kept tightening until it felt like it made it to the bearings. Then I back it off just a smidge. I put the spacer and long nut on. Then I did the other side the same way. I had play with adjusting the cones so that I had equal amounts of axle exposed at the ends to fit into dropouts. I played with the adjustments of the cones, and managed to get the wheel to turn reasonably smoothly without have a ton of play.
If you do anything beyond very minor repairs on your bike, you are going to need some bicycle tools.
Bicycle tools I own:
Homemade Repair Stand
Park Shimano Freewheel Remover (FR-1)
Park Suntour Freewheel Remover (FR-2)
Park 15mm/16mm Cone Wrench (DCW-2C)
Park 13mm/14mm Cone Wrench (DCW-4C)
Park Lock Ring Spanner (HCW-5)
Park Bottom Bracket Tool (BBT-2)
Park Chain Cleaning Kit (CG-2)
Bicycle tools I want:
Park Cable Stretcher aka 4th hand tool (BT-2)
I would love to do a century bike ride (100 miles). I have never ridden anywhere close to that. I think the longest I have ridden was about 40 miles, and I toasted my knees. That was almost 20 years ago. But I am in much better shape these days. I have been doing some 10 mile rides, and they are pretty easy. And those are on my mountain bike. I think riding my road bike would take even less effort. I am in good shape, and have been doing lots of running. I am running a marathon in a little over a week from now.
I was in the local bike shop, and saw there is a bike riding event on August 25th (my birthday)! And the registration is $25 (plus I think they want you to donate money to a charity). 25 is my lucky number. It just seems to be calling me! I am scheduled to run a 32.6 mile ultramarathon in July, and run another marathon in September. This kind of fits between those. There are a handful of distances (100 miles, 100K, 50 miles, 25miles, 10miles). But it is the century bike ride that intrigues me. What concerns me is the 7500 of climbing. I haven't done a lot of climbing. I think I will have to pull out my bike and start riding some hills. Maybe also do some longer distances. My wife isn't up to riding very far yet. Her longest ride was 10.25 miles, and that was this last weekend. So I will have to go off on my own. I guess. And I will have to fit it in with my running. I may sign up for that 100 miler!

Impact of Elementary School Teachers' Enacted Engineering Design-Based Science Instruction on Student Learning (Fundamental)
AbstractEngineering design is viewed as a vehicle through which scientific knowledge and real-world problem-solving skills can be constructed, refined, and enhanced. With the adoption of new national science standards in the U.S. teachers, specifically elementary school teachers, are faced with the daunting task of learning how to integrate engineering design and, more importantly, facilitate student learning of science through design. Considerable strides at the national level have been made to integrate engineering design for inservice elementary science teachers. Programs such as the Boston's Museum of Science's Engineering is Elementary, Purdue University's Science Learning through Engineering Design (SLED) Partnership, The John Hopkins University's STEM Achievement in Baltimore Elementary Schools (SABES), and University of Minnesota's Engr: TEAMS are grounded in the delivery of high-quality, content rich, engineering design-based experiences for inservice elementary science teachers. Results from the SLED Partnership, for example, show strong proof-of-concept that elementary teachers can develop deep conceptual knowledge of engineering practices and effectively translate engineering basics into the classroom environment. However, how elementary school teachers' direct instruction of engineering design impacts student learning of science has yet to be examined. The purpose of this study was to explore elementary school teachers' enactments of engineering design-based science instruction and to assess the impact of their instruction on students' science learning.

Parallel Publishing
Parallel publishing means that a publication first published by a publisher/journal is made freely available in an open archive.
Parallel publishing is often very beneficial to the researcher, as the research becomes visible and can be read also without a subscription. We therefore recommend parallel publishing.
The terms for parallel publishing vary according to archives. For example, the embargo period for parallel publishing is usually longer for Research Gate/Academia than for DiVA.
We Parallel Publish for You in DiVA
For scientific articles you can use our service LiU Publication Visibility to parallel publish your work. However, it is currently only available in Swedish. Otherwise (and for other publication types) you can do the following:
- Send your last manuscript (the so called post print) to firstname.lastname@example.com. This is the last version before publisher's formatting. Do not upload the file in DiVA yourself!
- We investigate the terms of parallel publishing, upload the file in DiVA, and make it freely available after any embarkation time in accordance with the publisher's rules.

text: I went in search of some different riding today. My time on a trainer, rollers, and riding pathways left me hungry for a gravel adventure. The gravel roads around Mackinaw, IL were the setting for a good day outside. Mid-ride I took a wrong turn from what I had loaded into my Garmin. Luckily, even riding off course was enough to have a good time.

Last 10 Pounds Diet Plan
I hate dieting, hate hate hate hate dieting. However sometimes I do it, usually before the summer or a vacation and I would rather temporally suffer for a couple weeks then return to a more moderate existence then drag on the calorie counting for months. The diet below will help you peel off the last couple pounds, it's not fun but it is effective.
Cut out
Red Meat
Glutton (anything with wheat) Rice, quinoa are ok!
Anything processed
Sugar, other then what's in the protein shake
Limit your carbs to 1/2 cup of non-glutton grains (rice or quinoa) or palm sized amount of starchy veggies and the fruit in your shake.
Lots of non-starch veggies the more the better, cooked or raw doesn't matter
Fish, chicken, tofu, beans, nuts
Breakfast- (Or as a replacement for any meal)
Protein Shake
Handful of frozen berries
½ banana
1 scoop of protein powder (not whey) there are so many other proteins rather then whey now a days, hemp, rice, pea, or blends.
1 cup non dairy milk (almond, soy, coconut)
Big salad, with unlimited veggies and greens,
Add one serving of protein (chicken, tofu, fish, beans)
Add one serving of fats (1/2 avocado, 2tbsp nuts)
2 tbsp. non-creamy dressing,
Unlimited veggies
Palm size of your carb so your rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes
Palm size of protein (chicken, fish, tofu)
For me that's a glass of red wine at night, but its up to you, choose a 100-200 calorie snack that follows the rules above.
I believe proper digestion is a huge part of maintaining your health and weight, always give yourself at least 12 hours of fasting at night, so stop consuming at 8pm then have breakfast at 8am. (Studies have shown the longer you can fast at night the more efficient weight loss, if you can try to go for up to 16 hours, i.e. eat dinner at 6pm, then have breakfast at 10am the next morning.)
It's been proven over and over again that glutton and dairy are hard for humans to digest and cause inflammation. If you live an overall healthy lifestyle, the body can heal itself when you do occasionally consume these foods in moderation but when your on a cleanse or trying to lose weight do yourself a favour and just cut them out.
Drink the detox water to help flush out your system.
Exercise most days!
The diet described is roughly 1200/1300 calories, if you exercise increase your serving sizes or add an extra 200 calorie snack.
