David Packard Award Dinner 2016
We honored Gordon Moore for his contributions to science, technology and ocean conservation
Some of the nation's most iconic technology companies and industry leaders joined us in May as we honored Intel co-founder Gordon Moore with the David Packard Award. Held at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) headquarters in Palo Alto, the event raised nearly $4 million to support our new Center for Ocean Education and Leadership.
"It is so important that we use the technology available to us to learn about our oceans, which have such a huge impact on the future health of our entire planet," said Meg Whitman, our dinner chair and HPE President & CEO, in her welcoming remarks. "I am deeply grateful to all of you for supporting the Monterey Bay Aquarium and its work to understand and protect our ocean."
We celebrated with over 400 guests, including inaugural David Packard Award recipient and former U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz.
"Everyone here tonight has had a hand in putting the Monterey Bay Aquarium on the map," Julie Packard said. "I am so deeply grateful for your support and energized by your confidence in our work."
Keynote speaker Marcia McNutt, President of the National Academy of Sciences, talked about the critical role the ocean plays in mitigating the impacts of global climate change, and the urgent need to address the challenge.
"While we've been working to save the ocean, the ocean is saving us," she said. "If it were not for the ocean, the amount of global warming we would otherwise experience would be truly intolerable."
And California, she said, "has been a leader in using science to establish marine protected areas and proving that they work. With the uncertainty of climate change, marine protected areas are an insurance policy to take the stress off the overexploited ocean."
Today, McNutt said, "science tells us that we cannot delay in deciding on a strategy for addressing climate change. Science does not dictate what approaches we should take, but does help clarify the tradeoffs. My hope is that with leadership from great institutions like the Monterey Bay Aquarium, preferred approaches to tackling climate change are those that acknowledge the importance of the ocean to the welfare of every living being."
Co-chair Bill Gates provided an inspiring video message to Gordon Moore, whom we recognized as an innovator, entrepreneur and ocean conservationist.
"I really am honored to get this award," Gordon Moore said. "It really makes me proud. David Packard had so much influence on what went on in this Valley, in the nation and in the world."

Does your companion's constant scratching have you both losing sleep?
You work hard to keep your pet healthy on the inside, but what about his or her external wellbeing? Skin conditions, like allergies and infections, can cause a variety of unpleasant symptoms and even impact your pet's quality of life. Let us get that little guy or gal back on the right track with our professional pet allergy and dermatology services. Our team is adept at identifying, diagnosing and treating a broad spectrum of skin problems.
Uncovering the Problem
There are many different types of skin disorders that can affect companion animals. The vast majority of them share similar symptoms. The key to effectively treating your pet is pinpointing the exact problem we're dealing with. At North Star Animal Hospital, we have a number of different diagnostic tools at our disposal to help us achieve this goal. Whether it's a blood test, biopsy or something else, we'll get the answers we need to help your loved one start feeling better again.
The dermatological conditions we can assist with include, but are not limited to:
- Infections
- Parasites
- Allergies
- Tumors
- Dermatitis
- Skin Cancer
- Autoimmune Disease
- Hormonal Problems
Developing a Solution
Once we understand what's causing your pet's symptoms, we can focus on eliminating his or her discomfort once and for all. Our recommended treatment plan will be based on a number of unique factors. This includes the condition being addressed, its severity and your companion's specific needs. We utilize a variety of different methods, either individually or in conjunction with one another, for optimum results.
Allergy Care
If our diagnostic work uncovers an allergy, the next step is figuring out which type of allergy as well as what triggers are causing reactions. Pets can be allergic to certain ingredients in their food products or to other things found within their environment. Depending on your companion's situation, we may be able to manage the problem through simple lifestyle changes. For more severe or complicated cases, a long-term treatment plan may be necessary.
Some of the signs that a pet may be experiencing a problem with his or her skin include:
- Constant scratching
- Bald spots or excessive shedding
- Scabs
- Bumps on the skin
- Odor emanating from the ears
- Chewing, biting or licking at the affected area
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact us right away. We'll develop the best strategy for keeping your pet as healthy on the outside as on the inside. Don't wait another moment – call now!

Favourite Pet Cushion
Fine Cell Work can turn a treasured photograph of your pet into a finely stitched needlepoint cushion or wall hanging. Simply provide a high quality photograph of your pet and our in-house specialist will turn this into a needlepoint chart to be sewn by one of our most skilled stitchers.
A perfect gift for a special occasion.
- Size(inches): 18 x 18
- Feather cushion included. Needlepoint in wool. Dry clean only.
Please note, due to the many hours of work involved in converting the design into a chart, hand-selecting the colours and creating the kit, not to mention the time to stitch it, our turnaround time is around 10 months at present. We may ask you provide additional photographs if needed for the chart.
If the item is a gift and needed before our stated turnaround times we can provide a gift card explaining the work in progress.If your project differs from the above, for example if you would like more than one animal or another size cushion we may need to charge a different fee. We are also able to make it up into a wall hanging at an additional cost. Please get in touch if you would like a personalised quote.

Cost Of Ownership
When you purchase a piece of equipment, it is easy to think that the ticket price represents the cost of the equipment. Unfortunately, that is not quite true:
There are many expenses to be considered over the lifetime of the asset, some of which are not immediately obvious at the time of purchase. So on top of the depreciation charges the following need to be considered by any organisation purchasing test equipment:
And I am sure that you can think of a few more that are relevant to your organisation.
Enter your own data into the above sheet to get figures that relate to you.
So what can you do about it?
Well there are always ways of negotiating some of these aspects to trim these costs and any good purchasing department will tackle this.
The alternative is to rent the equipment; especially when the need is for a defined period of time or the equipment will have a patchy usage over its life. With rental, most of the above costs are included in the rental charge and if you are not using the equipment then you simply return it. Likewise, if you discover that you need a different model or a different specification of the equipment then you swap it out for the right specification for your needs.
To find out more contact Livingston at email@example.com, complete the form below, or call us on +44 (0) 208 614 4055, and an engineer will call you to discuss your needs.

Your focus as the property manager of a commercial building is twofold, both on your tenants and your bottom line. You need to provide a productive, comfortable environment for the people who use the space. You also need to keep costs low and save money for your client.
Complicated electrical systems, including the essential transformer, affect both of your priorities. The more you understand transformers, the better job you can do for tenants and building owners.
What Is a Transformer?
The transformer is the critical bridge between the electricity you buy and the electricity people in your building use. By purchasing high voltage electricity at cheap prices, you can lower energy costs. Then the transformer lowers the voltage to a level that your building can use, and safely and efficiently distributes it to tenants.
The transformer is an electrical device that transfers electricity between two or more circuits, using the principle of electromagnetic induction. Without these devices, it would be impossible to effectively transmit, distribute, and use alternating current electrical energy. And that's what your building uses.
How Does This Concern the Property Manager?
The right transformer makes it possible to keep your tenants supplied with a steady flow of less expensive electricity. That keeps them happy.
Like most things electrical, transformers are not simple. One problem is older models of transformers. Many buildings are equipped with old-technology units. These are inefficient when compared to newer types, and add to your power costs.
As older transformers get close to the end of their useful life, their failure rate increases. When a transformer goes out, the result is an unplanned outage, and unhappy tenants.
This means you need to be on top of the lifecycle of your building's transformers. It is important to research what is new on the market and what is best for your building loads.
Then there is new construction. Choosing the proper size and type of transformer from the many on the market is a job for an expert. So much depends on where the transformer will be located, complex considerations around impedance, and whether you need a single- or three-phase transformer.
G&C, Transforming Confusion to Electrical Efficiency
You don't have to do it alone. Consult the electrical experts at G&C Construction and Electrical. They have been helping property managers for almost two decades with their electrical systems. With a combined 75 years of experience, they have the real world know-how to help you keep your system efficient and cost-effective.
Call the professionals at G&C today for clear, up-to-date, understandable, objective information about transformers for your properties.

A few election premises destroyed--posted by Tony Garcia on 7/10/2006
Did you hear the news? The
Did you hear the news last year? In the multi-party elections in Aruba there was a recount because a difference of 20 votes, if able to be erased, would have given a smaller party (Real Democracy party) a seat in the parliament which would have swayed the "majority" from one side (People's Electoral Movement) to the other (coalition of Aruban People's Party, Aruban Patriotic Movement, Network (RED) and Real Democracy). It would be like the Constitution Party winning a seat allowing them to caucus with the Republicans giving the Right a majority.
I could not find it, maybe there was, but I cannot find any. I found no talk of lawsuits in that election. Notice: they are on the Right side of the philosophical spectrum.
Did you hear a few months ago the news? The Presidential election was so close in Costa Rica that a recount was required.
With one of the closest finishes in the country's history, officials said the result would hang on a manual recount.Arias won re-election, but notice again that there was no threat of going to the courts to secure the victory. Notice also that the Socialist (Left-wing) candidate won after the recount.
With more than 86% of votes counted, ex-President Oscar Arias had 40.5%, compared with 40.2% for Otton Solis - a difference of fewer than 5,000 votes.
Both men said they would wait for the final results before claiming victory.
Did you know that the 2004 Elections in Taiwan were so close that there was a mandatory recount? Chen Shui-bian won his re-election over Lien Chan after the recount was completed. Now here the conservative party (Kuomintang/People First Party (Pan-Blue Coalition)) was threatening court action...because there was not any method for a recount in such a close election. Once the left-leaning incumbent and his party (Democratic Progressive Party (Pan-Green Coalition)) agreed to a recount and installed into law a mandatory recount if the margin is less than 1% the threats of court action ceased.
A few months ago in Italy there was a close election in which the conservative was demanding a recount. Yep, the the parliamentary elections had given the Left a slim (25,224 votes out of over 38 million voters) victory and the sitting Premier Silvio Berlusconi began demanding a recount and charged election fraud. Yes, he made possibly false charges...but I cannot find any claim to take the issue through the Judiciary (beyond the fact that Italy conducts its recounts through its lower courts).
Now we already know that the US 2000 election ended in court because of the allowance of differing standards in recounting within Florida. (Remember, in some counties the Democrats wanted overvotes to count and in other counties they didn't; they wanted undervotes to count in some counties and not in others; in some counties 'hanging chads' counted and in others not.)
Remember that in 2004 the Democrats were threatening court action in many states if the counts were close. Not threatening recounts, but court action. Remember the DNC handbooks that instructed the foot soldiers to fabricate charges of fraud if necessary because the penultimate goal was getting the elections into court.
Ever since 2000 the Left has made a few claims that the other examples seem to prove wrong.
First, the "divisiveness" is unnatural and unique to the United States. Obviously it is not. It is not even unique to any one global topic.
Second, Bush is the reason for the division in this country. If this were true then there are two questions that must be answered. Are the leaders of these other countries to blame for their nations being divided? Is being divided 50/50 (instead of 75/25 or something) a bad thing? I would posit "No" to both.
Something else that must be noted is that in each of the elections where the Left lost there have been threats of court action from the Left. The 2 times the Right-wing have threatened or taken court action there were very legitimate equality concerns. There were not any equality concerns in the threats from the Left...only accusations that they wanted substantiated somehow through the Courts.
What does this tell you? Or, what should it tell you? Two things.
One: The Left universially beleives in bigger and unified government. They embrace warmly the United Nations and an international court through the UN. They want the executive selection (elections) to be able to be united in process with the Courts. Consolidated Power to the Left is good. It is the very root of Socialism and Communisim. However, it is the antithesis of freedom.
Two: The legislature and executive need be tools of the judiciary and they believe that the Courts will uphold any claim. Notice that the Left in this country does not try to legislate bans on "under God", instead they go to Court. In this country this comes from the very broken concept of a "Living Constitution" which means that the Courts get to determine what changes in the laws and Constitution are made. I say broken because the Constitution laid out a method for changing laws...the Legislature. I say broken because the Constitution laid out a method for updating the Constitution...Constitutional Amendments.
The Mexican elections have been very fascinating not just for its own sake but in what it reinforces as a trend about the Left globally.

Student Toolbox
Welcome to WSC's Student Toolbox! We are excited to have you start your advanced education pathway with Williston State College. This page will provide information for our Early Entry students. Students will have access to early entry links, forms, information on registration and more.
New Early Entry Student Instructions
If you have never taken an Early Entry course through WSC, please follow the steps below. If you have taken dual credit courses previously, please skip to returning Early Entry student instructions.
- Apply for Early Entry student admission here. Select "create account". Once your account has been officially created, you will be able to log in and start your application for admission. Early Entry students should select their major/program as non-degree. Once your application has been submitted, it will take 1-2 business days for processing. Once processed, a dual credit student hold will be placed on your account. This will only prevent the student from adding or dropping courses themselves as WSC enrolls the student.
- Pay the $35 Non-refundable Application Fee. This can be paid when you submit your application online. Students are also able to call and pay over the phone, pay with cash in person or mail in a check.
- Claim your Campus Connection Account. You should receive an email with directions on how to claim your campus connection account. This email will also include your EMPLID (Student ID number) which is needed to complete this. This step is very important for students taking classes online, IVN or on WSC's campus.
- Complete the Early Entry Enrollment Form. Incomplete forms will not be accepted. The form can be turned in to your counselor, faxed to 701.774.4211 or emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Set up your Student Email. Once you are enrolled, WSC faculty and staff will only respond to emails through your student email.
- Access Blackboard. WSC uses Blackboard for IVN, online and some on campus classes. Your login will be the same as your campus connection account. Classes will not be available in Blackboard until 4PM on the first day of the semester.
If you are planning on taking a Math or English course, an ACT/SAT or placement test will be required.
If you are planning on taking a course on WSC's campus, we will require a copy of your immunization record with the following vaccines or our Immunization Compliance Form filled out:
- Two doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine for students born after 01/01/1957.
- One dose of the meningococcal vaccine after the age of 16 for all students 21 and under.
Returning Early Entry Student Instructions
If you have previously taken Early Entry courses through WSC, please complete the Early Entry Enrollment Form. If there are no holds that will prevent enrollment, such as a delinquent account hold or awareness education requirement hold, your enrollment will be processed.
Getting your Books
You may need a book depending on the Early Entry course you have enrolled in. Please visit our Bookstore to see what course materials you may need.
Paying your Tuition
Early Entry bills will be mailed out 5 weeks after the start of the semester. The initial amount shown in campus connection will be what the full cost of the course would be without the Early Entry rate. Our Student Finance Office adjusts all of these accounts and sends out a paper bill with the correct amount. If you have questions regarding payment, please contact the Student Finance Office at 701.774.4299.
Dropping or Withdrawing from Early Entry Courses
Students must follow WSC's Important Deadlines when dropping a course. Students are able to drop or withdraw from courses up to the Friday of the 12th week of the term. If you need to drop or withdraw from your Early Entry course(s), please fill out the Early Entry Drop/Withdrawal Form.
Student Services
WSC Student Services aims to support and enhance a student's experience at WSC. If you are interested in how to obtain a WSC Student ID, what tutoring services are available or would like to see what other support services you can utilize, please visit Student Services.

Organizing as a limited liability company is popular among small business owners because it carries the benefits of pass-through taxation and limited liability. The annual filing requirements of an LLC are also less complex than those for a corporation. Forming an LLC in Missouri requires filing a document, called an Articles of Organization, with the Missouri Secretary of State.
Step 1
Select a name for your Missouri company. The name of your Missouri company must contain a phrase or abbreviation indicating that it is an LLC, such as "limited company", "limited liability company", "L.C.", "L.L.C.", "LC" or "LLC". The name must also be distinguishable from the name of any business registered in Missouri.
Step 2
Select a registered agent for your business. A registered agent is the business or individual who will receive service of process if your business is ever sued or subpoenaed. If you are a Missouri resident, you may serve as the registered agent of your company.
Step 3
Fill out the Articles of Organization. Provide the name of your LLC, the purpose for which your LLC is registered and the name and address of your registered agent. Indicate whether the day-to-day management of your company is vested in managers, which are employees without an ownership stake, or members, who have an ownership stake. Indicate whether you want your corporation to have perpetual duration or have a date of dissolution. Provide the name and street address of all persons organizing the company. You have the option of supplying an effective date of creation other than the filing date. Provide the name and address of an individual to receive a copy of the Articles of Organization. Sign and date the Articles of Organization.
Step 4
File the Articles of Organization. As of 2010, the filing fee is $105 by mail and $50 online. If filing online, you must pay by credit card. If filing by mail, you must use a check or money order pade payable to the Secretary of State.
- Check with an attorney about the tax implications of operating a business as an LLC.
- The Missouri Secretary of State maintains an online database of registered businesses that can be helpful in finding a distinguishable name for your business.

Hit-and-Run Cases in Nevada
Hit-and-run accidents have been growing more common. Even a relatively simple incident, where someone causes minor property damage and flees the scene, can cause headaches for victims. But more serious consequences are unfortunately growing more common as well. Pedestrians and cyclists who are hit by a vehicle rarely have the presence of mind to remember details about the vehicle that struck them. Nevada is near the top of the nation for hit-and-run deaths, a sobering statistic that should make Nevadans especially wary when they hit the road.

Setup TJ to record midi in Cubasis?

Setup TJ to record midi in Cubasis?
TJ is fabulous app! Trying to record the midi output to Cubasis on the same iPad. Have tried Interapp Audio connection and Audiobus. I can get audio but not midi. How do on I set it up properly? Thanks!
Re: Setup TJ to record midi in Cubasis?
I have fiddled with this for 2 months, trying to figure it out from the manual. Very inconsistent results, very frustrating. What I am specifically trying to do is: use tj as midi instrument; record the midi in cubasis; have that midi recording then play back thru tj. Could you PLEASE create a standard setup outline of the essential in-out setup. I know there are different specific controls for different nuances and applications, but SURELY there is one general connection setup that would do this. By the number of views of this question it would seem that a lot of folks are having the same issue. (If you read this and would like it addressed, perhaps same issue with different DAW, how about adding a Reply to help get the issue some attention.). Also get some crazy blowup distorted can't turn off bugs while making attempts at getting this to work. Thanks!
Re: Setup TJ to record midi in Cubasis?
OR... Is there another DAW that records, edits, and mixes both midi and audio that works well with tj?

MLK weekend kicks off Interstate 70 traffic madness
State transportation officials are expecting heavy traffic on Interstate 70, particularly in the eastbound direction, today as many holiday weekend travelers return to the Front Range.
"This is the time of year we really start seeing the traffic numbers go up, especially on Interstate 70 west of Denver, primarily because more people are taking advantage of Colorado's wonderful winter outdoor activities," Colorado Department of Transportation regional director Tony DeVito stated in a release. "With the snowiest month ahead of us combined with a few three-day weekends and spring break, motorists can expect significantly more traffic on the mountain highways … through the end of March."
Traffic will likely continue to stack up on I-70 eastbound on Sunday afternoons and over holidays, including Presidents weekend through the end of the ski season.
Last year more than 20,000 vehicles were recorded on the eastbound lanes of I-70 on the Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day and nearly as many were on the road on the holiday itself.
CDOT now offers a smartphone application, CDOT Mobile, that provides up-to-date highway and traffic information, including speeds and travel times, road conditions, accidents and roadwork as well as webcam feeds from the I-70 mountain corridor.

Strategic planning in nonprofits is most effective when the following elements are present:
First, establishment of a strategic planning committee. If the nonprofit board is serious about strategic planning (and it needs to be!), it will establish a strategic planning committee.
Second, there needs to be a thorough and shared understanding of strategic planning. The term "strategic planning" is sometimes used to describe a range of planning activities. It is important that the process is looked upon in the same way by board, staff and other participants in the strategic planning process.
There also needs to be agreement on outcomes. While it is true that the expected outcome of most strategic planning processes is a strategic plan document, it is also important to discuss and eventually agree upon other expected outcomes. For example there may be a specific critical issue that the board wants to focus on by means of strategic planning. Typically, planning outcomes will include some or all of the following:
· Board leadership and management staff will have a thorough understanding of the critical issues and choices facing the organization over the next 5 years.
· A strategic plan document including a mission statement, strategic vision statement, goals and strategies will be produced. The plan will give special attention to organizational structures that will best support the overall strategic plan.
· The strategic plan will have a day-to-day relevance on management and governance; and
· There will be enthusiasm and support for the strategic plan at all levels of the organization.
There needs to be real commitment to the process on the part of leadership. While there is no one right way to do strategic planning, whatever approach the board chooses will involve time, energy and careful thinking. People will not commit these personal and organizational resources if they are not convinced that the planning process is worth the effort. Sometimes the start of strategic planning process may need to be postponed until leadership within the board and staff have become convinced of the importance of the process.
There also needs to be involvement of many. In order to be effective, strategic planning must involve individuals representing all constituencies of the nonprofit: staff, constituents, funders and donors, as well as other key community supporters.
Finally, the strategic plan needs to be translated into concrete detailed plans of action. Involvement in an isolated strategic planning exercise or a one shot planning retreat is not sufficient. Strategic planning needs to lead to specific objectives which include clear evaluation measures, set on an annual basis by staff, the board of directors and the board's own committees. This commitment to implementation will also help to ensure that the majority of the board's time and energy is in alignment with the mission, vision, and goals and strategies contained in the strategic plan.

Friday night I spent the evening watching Sebastien Toutant capture Gold in the Olympic first ever Mens Big Air snowboarding competition. The event was essentially two hours of watching dudes make crazy jumps and flips in the air on snowboards. If that wasn't enough, the platform they started from was basically on the moon.
Saturday AM bright and early Canada battled it out with the Czechs for the bronze medal. Canada pulled off a win after a crazy ending to the third period, which keeps the medal streak alive in mens hockey. The team Canada iced was basically a bunch of old guys. Considering Team USA used the same strategy, Canada is probably lucky to have pulled off a bronze medal. Congrats to the boys for their efforts.
The Gold Medal game was nothing short of incredible. The first 50 minutes of the game was classic gold medal game hockey. Then the last 10 minutes of the 3rd period happened. A couple of lead changes had the Russians ahead, then the Germans ahead, and the Russians finally tying the game. I hated how Germany played in their own zone in the dying minutes of that game. Some better hockey sense and they could pulled out a win.
The game heads to OT at about 1:45 AM EST and it's 4 on 4. I don't know what is wrong with playing REAL hockey until a winner can be determined. Germany carrying the puck through the neutral zone was a thing of beauty. I've never seen wingers that good at carrying the puck.
It sucks the game had to end because of a high sticking penalty, because at 4 on 3 the game is basically over, and it didn't take long for the Russians to score.
Early Sunday morning Tomas Plekanec, one of last standing Habs from the mid 2000's era was traded to the Maple Leafs. I have no idea why we are trading within the division but getting a 2nd round pick in return is promising. The Habs also pick up Kerby Rychel for the Laval Rocket and Rinat Valiev for the Rocket. For now the Leafs have won the deal, until the draft at least.
Now that the olympics have officially ended I can focus once again on the tank down the stretch, not that I want to think about hockey in Montreal this year. This week features another battle with the Flyers, a home and home with the feisty Islanders and a weird 5 PM in Boston on Saturday night.
Is it time for March Madness yet?

Kids at DDG Booksellers show off
their favorite summer books.
Inspired by Karlene Rearick's summer reading program at the Alphabet Garden in Cheshire, Conn., which creates a window display with flowers with the name of each child in the center and the books they read on the petals, and challenged by a friend to use children's reviews to sell more books, Kenny Brechner, owner of Devaney Doak and Garrett Booksellers in Farmington, Maine, came up with what he regards as the 18-year-old store's most successful summer reading program to date. If Goldilocks were testing out a summer reading program, Brechner says, this year's Spread the Word for grades K to 6 would be just right. It captured the attention of both children and parents—and sold books.
To get out the word, Brechner worked with two local elementary schools, W.G. Mallett and Cascade Brook, who agreed to authorize the program as a summer reading option for their students and to send home an announcement in students' backpacks. Each participant was asked to fill out a review slip, which DDG provided, for each book they read over the summer, and then drop them off at the store. The slips were printed on heavy white cardstock so that they could be used as book marks and then placed inside each reviewed book to form a display on a table near the front of the store. As an added incentive, Brechner held a weekly drawing for participating students to win a prize. He also gave out a grand prize at last week's store party to mark the close of the program. Plus, each child who completed six or more reviews was automatically awarded a $5 gift certificate to DDG.
The review slip Brechner has kids fill out.
"Parents uniformly said it got their children interested in reading," Brechner says. "And adults who are browsing have been fascinated by the display table." At the same time, he adds, "The kids took such pride in it. When they brought in a review slip, they wanted me to read it on the spot." Among his favorites were reviews for Brandon Mull and Brandon Dorman's Fablehaven—"Read this book now. It will keep you reading until 2 a.m."—and Walter Moers's Rumo—"It is really awesome." One child described The Wizard of Oz as "very interesting and cool! All of the creatures have good spirits! Enjoy reading!"
While most kids liked the books they read, says Brechner, a surprising number did not, as he discovered by the check boxes they marked at the top of each review. Each review sheet included a place for students to indicate whether You should or You shouldn't read this book because he felt that to encourage them to give their opinion of the book rather than simply recite the plot. "The idea of handselling is synonymous with opinion," says Brechner, who has used a similar technique in his classroom work during the school year.
There was very little overlap among the books that the kids reviewed. Brechner attributes that to the fact that many children stopped by the store to see what had already been reviewed—and to see their own review cards on display. "The table's been a big hit," Brechner says. "The kids come in and go, 'There it is.' Interestingly adults looking to pick out books as gifts have used it as a resource many times."
By program's end, Brechner received 166 reviews, with 20 children completing six or more. "A really nice thing," he says, "is that several parents told me that a child who wasn't a big reader had really gotten motivated by the program." Brechner's only advice for other booksellers, who might want to try something similar, is to bear in mind that kids like to write in pencil, which can be hard to read—but worth it.

Under the new brand, the dancehall and R&B singer wish to attain new heights in the industry owing to the new strong management team, SwagglunaGH which is headed by Mr. Aaron Appiah. He reiterated the need to bring into play again his God-given talent to the benefit of the society. "I intend to use my brand to its full capacity which includes song writing, singing performances, advertisement and endorsements for business and entertainment purposes." He said. As a new brand, the musician is also poised to embark on social responsibilities as a way of giving back to the society. Reacting to what resulted in the breakup with PV; the musician admitted they "mutually agreed to embark on solo music careers exclusively on business reasons." Asked whether he will team up with PV to take any action against the alleged 'stolen' of their (Wutah) song "Kotosa" by Nigerian pop singer, Flavour, Kobby admitted they will definitely do so if the need be because they both own the song. Wutah Kobby currently has an album to his credit dubbed "Selfless Bliss" – his maiden album as a solo artiste which also produced hits like "Tsotsoo", "Ambulance", and "Odo Yewu" with the latter two featuring Sarkodie and Kwabena Kwabena respectively. The "Ambulance" man also took the opportunity to introduce to the press once again his new love song, "Chio Chio" which was officially launched a little over a fortnight ago. The re-launch saw other players in the industry like E-Nice, Okra and Ephraim supporting the brother. The management also entreated music lovers and Ghanaians as a whole to appreciate good music and promised to bring out the best out of the gifted singer.

Whole Wheat Butter Naan, Stove-top Method
- Mix Water and milk together and warm it a bit. I used reheated the mix in my Microwave for 20 seconds.
- I used my foodprocessor to make the dough. It can be made by hands too.
- Add Flour, instant yeast, honey, butter, salt, yogurt to the food processor bowl.Pulse it twice to mix well. Then add the warm liquid and run it in full speed to make the dough. Knead well until the dough comes together as one big ball. Take it out of the processor bowl. Let it rest in a well-oiled bowl in a warm place for about 40-50 minutes or until it doubles.
- If making the dough by hand, just take all the dry ingredients in a big bowl, whisk well to mix.Add warm liquid little by little and knead well by hands to make a dough. Knead well until the dough becomes soft. Then follow the rest of the procedure same.
- After the required resting time, i.e after the dough doubles up, take the dough out on a well-floured surface.Punch the extra air out, knead for a minute. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Let it rest for another 10 minutes.
- Dust the surface well, roll the dough into tear shape or whatever shape you are comfortable making.
- Roll it into half the size, spoon 1 or 2 dabs of butter into the rolled dough, fold again and roll into oblong shape, roll it not too thick or thin. Roll out all the dough balls.
- Heat a tava, i used my cast-iron tava, When it is hot enough, place a rolled naan, cover and cook for 2 minutes, until brown spots appear on the bread. Take care to keep the flame medium. Flip, cover and cook again for 2 minutes.
- Take it out on a place,apply a blob of butter on top. Serve Hot with a spicy curry.
- Cooked naans can be refrigerated in a ziploc cover and while serving the next day, cook it again on a hot tava with butter and serve.
- Cooked naans can also be freezed for a long time. While serving, do not Thaw, cook it straight on a hot tava with butter and serve.
- Naan Dough can also be refrigerated. I actually, refrigerated the rised dough overnight. Today i took it out 3 hours before making it again.

Okay, so we have a budget. We just don't really use it for controlling our spending or expenses. We talked about this in our posts, "How We Try To Control Expenses Without Much Of A Budget" and to a lesser degree in, "Thinking Of Your Personal Finance Like Running A Business." So why bother having a budget at all, let alone updating it?
Good question. The truth about it is we spend a lot less time developing or updating it, especially relative to when we first started really focusing on getting our financial house in order. But when we do dust it off, we try to get the numbers mostly right (or maybe just in the right ballpark for the smaller line items).
At this point, we use our budget for analysis. "Analysis" sounds like more than it is, now that I go back and read it. We use a budget to see what would happen if we were to do something different. We use it for planning—for things we are actually going to do, for things we might do, and for bad things.
We have our budget in a spreadsheet. The nice thing about a spreadsheet or some other kind of software is that you can play with one or a few numbers and see how that ripples through the other numbers. So for our planning, we might add expense items to see how those change our cash flow or savings; or we might lower our income to see what effect that would have. Or if we were feeling particularly cautious or nervous about something, we might see what it would look like if a mini-disaster struck. As examples:
- When we were looking at different childcare options for our kids, we plugged the different costs into our budget.
- When we were considering purchasing an investment property, we were expecting that renters would cover most of the monthly expenses. But we put the full carrying costs into our budget to see how it would look if the house sat vacant. We wanted to see how uncomfortable that might feel.
- One day when I was just feeling particularly less cheerful about the economy, I ran our budget showing what would happen if one of us lost our jobs.
So while we don't budget to control day-to-day expenses—such as by setting a limit for dining out or other categories of spending—we budget to plan for major expenses. Whether and how we could afford to do something big. Whether and how we could weather a bad situation without dipping into savings.
How we use budgets has also changed over the years. A budget can be many things to many people. The dictionary.com definition of budget lists the following:
1. An estimate, often itemized, of expected income and expense for a given period in the future.
2. a plan of operations based on such an estimate.
3. an itemized allotment of funds, time, etc., for a given period.
4. the total sum of money set aside or needed for a purpose: the construction budget.
For us, our history with budgets is roughly this:
- Early on, we developed a budget to see what was happening. If we put the numbers down on a piece of paper, were there big gaps? Did we not have enough sense of where our money was going or what we were spending it on? Did we not realize just how much we were spending on something—eating out or whatever?
- After we had that more in hand, we started using a budget to accelerate our progress toward our financial goals. We could see that we ought to be able to save more. So we increased the amount of money automatically going into saving and investing plans.
- Now we mostly use a budget to plan for major expenses or potential life changes.
Yeah, this still came out as a post on budgets. Hard to get too excited. Maybe I should have gone more with more of an April Fools angle…

Spectacular Comet Earthbound
Comet ISON was discovered on 21st September by the International Scientific Optical Network and early studies suggest it could become a spectacular object in our skies toward the end of 2013. The discovery of Comet ISON who's official designation is C/2012 S1 (ISON) was made by a team of astronomers led by Vitali Nevski from Belarus. Using the 0.4 metres telescope near Kisovodsk in Russia they detected the comet which is currently shining at 19th magnitude making it currently beyond the reach of average amateur telescopes. But that will change dramatically as the comet heads toward the inner Solar System.
Its closest approach to the Sun will take place on 28 November next year when it will pass by less than 2 million kilometres. At this close distance to the Sun it will become dazzlingly bright shining thousands of times brighter than Venus, the brightest of all the planets in the sky, although its proximity to the Sun may make it hard to see. There is also a risk that the extreme tidal forces from the Sun could rip the comet apart into several fragments.
It all sounds very exciting. If the comet brightens as expected then it will be a stunning sight to the naked eye, even during daylight hours. But, and there is a but; comets are notoriously unpredictable so while predictions currently suggest it will be an amazing sight, it may end up being a damp squib. As 2012 draws to a close and 2013 arrives, more observations will slowly grant us more confidence in its prdeicted behaviour but for now all we an do is sit and wait, and watch.
