Two Galileo Pendulum writers constantly argue over music. In order to give people an experience of these arguments, the writers decided to write an argumentative piece on rap songs of their choice. Senior Ameesia Marold explains why the song, "Juicy" by Notorious B.I.G. is an all time classic, while senior Eric Der gives his reasoning for why "Ghost Face Killers' by 21 Savage is a contemporary masterpiece.
Ameesia: There is deep meaning behind the lyrics and story of Christopher Wallace. He has a story to tell in 'Juicy' about turning his poverty into fame, describing both his upbringing and rise to riches. He paints a picture of two tales; his street life of poverty and his new life of wealth. Juicy forces me to question which life Wallace favors, he is praising his street life when he says "same number same hood," yet he is favoring his current life when he says "went from negative to positive." The chorus is one of my favorite parts as Biggie is addressing anyone with dreams, assuring them they can succeed if they try.
Eric: The lyrics in this song are ridiculously corny. They echo every other rapper's rags to riches sob story, with a few motivational quotes thrown in to appeal to people who think everyone in the world can succeed. The overdone topic of these lyrics combined with the awful production make for an overall disappointing, generic song.
Eric: On the other hand, the lyrics in Ghostface Killers follow the same topics that most people expect from modern rap; money, women, and drugs. However, Offset and 21 add their own spice and character to it through references to their own life, as well as cultural and popular culture, such as when 21 alludes to Kim Jong un and big bombs.These lyrics are not deep or enlightening by any stretch of the imagination, but they sound good and follow the theme that these artists are known for.
Ameesia: Why is this song unique or original if it conforms to what "is expected of modern rap"? Offset and 21 are simply using popular culture to highlight or create false experiences to rap about in order to appeal to the people, they are not original or real. Being decked out in diamonds reveals nothing about life or the human condition, they sound trashy.
Social Impact-
Ameesia: 'Juicy' embodied everything that would come to distinguish Biggie's legacy. The overall theme of aspiration and overcoming the struggle of the streets matched with the lyrical proficiency made this song timeless. 'Juicy' is a universal song, appealing to many people, The realness of his everyday struggles and successes presented in the lyrics is timeless and truly does promote his life after death.
Eric: This song brings nothing new to the table, and I'm convinced the only reason the song, or the artist for that matter, was relevant was because he got lucky and blew up in a time of talentless artists, and is now only appreciated by those stuck in the past. The only social impact of this song is that it motivates the same people that find ten dollars on the street and think they've made it out of the struggle, while sounding like a corny infomercial.
Eric: Alternatively, Ghostface Killers has received praise from hip hop critics and fans alike. Though it's a song that is not likely to hit the radio anytime soon due to the explicit lyrics, one can expect it to be blasted at parties and clubs, being a heavy hitting trap song with mindless lyrics.
Ameesia: The social impact of this song is not present. It has no powerful or positive impact or meaning on the listener and provides no insightful message. It is not a song that inspires other people or rappers and therefore has no impact on this generation or the rap industry as a whole. It's pointless and the overly profane lyrics make it simply that, a song to play at a party. The song has no positive impact on society and does not inspire the listener in any way, it is simply made for 21 Savage and Offset to boost their egos. Showing their selfish intentions as artists.

Are you really stupid enough to say that online? Oh - you are...
One of the most frustrating things that I see on an almost-daily basis is people revealing far too much information about their lives on public media platforms.
Everything from how much they hate their boss, their egotistical co-workers, their friends, their family, the world. It's one thing to take to email, or to a personal message, or a fully-locked Facebook or Twitter feed, but the amount of sensitive information that's shared in this manner is quite frankly a little frightening.
The screen-grab at the top of this post is taken from a website called We Know What You're Doing - a site set up by a coder called Callum Haywood to trawl the publicly available data on Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare to find out who's casually uploading private, potentially slanderous and possibly illegal information about themselves.
My take on it? It's stupidity - but that's not to say that it's entirely the participants fault. Sharing feels more personal than ever now. We feel as if we are connected to our friends and family directly though our smartphones and our laptops, conveniently forgetting that there are billions of people out there that have access to your information. I would try and think about it a bit more, but I'm a bit busy at the moment building my tinfoil hat to stop the saucer people stealing my yellow mind juice.
Do social media sites need to have more protection for users that are unaware of just how public the information they are sharing is? Or is that protection their responsibility to some degree? I know that these sites feel smaller, more personal and more connected to people that only want the best for you. But never forget that sometimes, the person on the end of that Tweet, Facebook mention or Foursquare check-in might not have your best interests at heart. Or maybe they do have your best interests at heart - you're just being a jackass.

NeverSeconds Viral: Well Done Martha!
I just wanted to end the week by sharing a very special story with you all.
You may have noticed a series of news stories over the past 24 hours relating to a little girl that goes by the name of Martha (or her blogger name, VEG).
Martha has been working for a number of weeks on a blog that candidly reviews the school dinners at her school. Called NeverSeconds, the blog has become a viral hit after the famous TV chef Jamie Oliver tweeted a link to her blog. Encouraged by the lift in blog traffic, Martha decided to put it to good use by encouraging her growing audience to donate to a charity called Mary's Meals - a charity that provides nutritious, balanced meals for children in troubled areas such as Haiti, Liberia and Malawi
People from all over the world started sending her pictures of their school meals. The kicker being that whilst young Martha was never being mean or hurtful about her own school dinners, once pictures of school meals from around the world started appearing on her blog, it became very clear that the quality of food being served up in her own canteen just was not up to scratch.
As a result, she exposed, and upset the her local council. Unable to handle the criticism they faced over the quality of their school meals, somebody at the council had the great idea of, well, we'll let Martha explain the rest...
"This morning in maths I got taken out of class by my head teacher and taken to her office. I was told that I could not take any more photos of my school dinners because of a headline in a newspaper today.This is when the story broke. Supporters of her cause took to blogs, message boards, Twitter and Facebook to raise awareness of the issue. As of this lunchtime, the blog, and the story of Martha had gone viral. The world was watching Argyll & Bute Council - and they were in trouble.
I only write my blog not newspapers and I am sad I am no longer allowed to take photos. I will miss sharing and rating my school dinners and I'll miss seeing the dinners you send me too. I don't think I will be able to finish raising enough money for a kitchen for Mary's Meals either.
The head of the council, Rory McCuish, ordered the ban on Martha's blogging to be lifted by the council. The will and the power of a local council had been broken by a nine-year-old schoolgirl and her followers online.
How does this happen?
When a story goes viral online, it's often assumed by people that you can create, or manufacture this kind of buzz. Let me be clear on this: YOU CANNOT CREATE VIRAL.
Viral content creates itself. and it's not the format or platform that enables the spread - it's the story itself.
- It often has a focus on one key element (unvarnished reviews of school dinners)
- It grabs your attention (pictures, reviews, written by a savvy 9 year old schoolchild)
- It engages you (Martha is likeable, you get involved in the cause, making people want to be involved themselves by sharing pictures and reviews of their school meals)
- It asks you to take action (donate money to a charity, and prevent a council from shutting a blog down).
Yesterday this number was around the £2k mark.
People often tell you that you can manufacture this kind of buzz. You can't. Money alone couldn't buy a story like this. It rarely comes around, and it makes you feel good about yourself, and the world around you.
The best way to be able to attempt this kind of success is to not try - people can smell an attempt to go viral a mile off. It rarely works. Every true viral is a one-in-a-million moment.
So next time you are pitched an idea about a viral, think about Martha's story, and whether you can better that. If you can't, then I'd try something else!

Twitter: What's in a logo?
Twitter have unveiled a new logo and integration options with Facebook. Announced late last week, this move sees the bird logo amended to appear as it it's on an upward trajectory - "the ultimate representation of freedom, hope and limitless possibility" according to Twitter.
In addition to this, they have also unveiled new integration options for users that have merged their Facebook and Twitter accounts. You can now cross-post to Facebook and Twitter, and whenever you mention a user or hashtag, Facebook will link to the relevant account or search result. Great news for some, but not for people who are annoyed with people that use their Facebook accounts in the same way they update their Twitter accounts - grr!
On a serious note, whilst many people may think that changes like this are pretty arbitrary, they are in fact very important to a company.
I've been lucky enough to be involved in three re-brands in my time as a Community Editor/Social Media Coordinator - Ministry of Sound, Real Radio and Real Radio XS. Each time, the changes were met with a degree of scepticism from the audience. In the case of Real Radio XS, there was a real concern that the station was planning to deviate from it's traditional classic rock playlist. A re-brand can be seen in many ways as a fresh start, but you have to bear in mind from a user perspective that it could potentially be seen as a harbinger of doom.
Previously, a re-brand could be developed, launched, and given time to bed in. In the social media age however, brands and companies are not afforded that luxury. You are judged immediately on the look, feel and vibe of it almost immediately. Or rather - you receive feedback quickly. That, in my opinion, is a good thing.
It's an opportunity to engage with your audience. To have a conversation with them about the ins and outs of the changes, and what it will mean. Just because people may initially dislike change, it doesn't mean that they are not willing to embrace it eventually. You just can't expect blind acceptance these days.
When the Rock Radio brand was changed to Real Radio XS, our venerable PD Moose decided to tackle the issue head on. I sent him the feedback about the changes, kept him updated on what the fans were saying on Facebook and Twitter, and he made a great decision - he invited the most vocal fans, the most invested fans, in for pizza, a few beers and a chat. That to me was the turning point. It gave our audience the perfect opportunity to come and have a chat with us, and find out a bit more about the changes. As a result, we now have one of the most actively engaged Facebook and Twitter communities I've ever had the pleasure to oversee (#humblebrag/Disclaimer - I'm a current employee of Real XS/GMG Radio).
A re-brand can be scary to your audience. Almost as scary for a company that decides to pivot, and change it's core product (Path, Colour, Facebook opening up it's network to non-graduates/students). So you have to be prepared to listen, to explain, and be ready to be honest with your audience. It's very hard to stay angry with somebody when they are honest with you face-to-face.
Social media is a great opportunity to engender those feelings on a mass scale, and I don't think that any company should overlook that opportunity.

Several papers concerning growth hormone (rhGH) and fat redistribution syndrome were reported. Dr. Christine Wanke from Boston reported on improvement in fat redistribution syndrome in 10 patients treated with rhGH in an ongoing 12 week study. All subjects were receiving protease inhibitors, 3/10 androgens, 5/10 exercising. The measurements of waist-to-hip ratio declined while midthigh circumference increased indicating improvement in abdominal obesity and peripheral fat wasting. Neither lean body mass nor body fat changed. One patient had a recurrence of fat redistribution after completion of the 12-week treatment course.
Jill Cadman (associate of Dr. Ramon Torres) presented a summary of rhGH in 10 patients with fat redistribution syndrome-associated adiposity in New York. All of these patients were on HAART including a protease inhibitor. Most of these patients had truncal obesity, and 6 had buffalo humps. 9 of 10 patients showed improvement in fat accumulation with therapy, but every patient who stopped therapy had recurrence. Dose reduction was also associated with worsening of fat redistribution syndrome. Some of the patients have continued therapy for up to 24 months. Other reports on the use of rhGH were equally anecdotal but with even smaller numbers of patients. Growth hormone has shown beneficial effects in reducing the fat accumulation of HIV-associated fat redistribution syndrome, but its high cost and apparent necessity for long-term treatment will limit its application for this complication. All the reports so far using rhGH for fat redistribution syndrome have been anecdotal, uncontrolled and observational only. Unfortunately none of the potential treatments of fat redistribution syndrome have been studied in a controlled manner. Follow-up has been short in all of these studies.

Rain swept in from the Atlantic. Ocean and sky merged behind a muslin curtain of low cloud, but the setting sun burned a hole in it, diffusing soft light, as in a Turner seascape. For diners in the little seaside resort of Azenha do Mar, in the Portuguese Alentejo region, it was dinner theatre. We watched from a window table, the spectacle diverting our attention briefly from a magnificent arroz de marisco, a rich risotto full of prawns, mussels and morsels of crab in cracked shells that gave the dish most of its powerful flavour.
Two days earlier we had paused at the same restaurant on a hike along the coast, to drink cold beers and snack on percebes, or gooseneck barnacles. Their odd appearance might deter the squeamish but, accompanied by with hot toast and butter, they seemed worth the risks taken by those who harvest them on wave pounded rocks offshore. Afterwards we had descended a steep cliff side with the help of a fixed rope to continue our walk past the former home of Portugal's most celebrated fado singer, the internationally feted Amalia Rodrigues, who died in 1999.
It seemed fitting she should have retreated here, to this wild coastline where, save in high summer when crowds from Lisbon come, you may walk for hours with only nesting storks and fishermen for company. Fado is a uniquely Portuguese expression of yearning, often about the life of the poor, and I had long nursed an image of the Alentejo as exactly the sort of place whose soul it reflected: a yellow landscape baked by fierce sunlight, dotted with black cork oaks, where arrogant and often absent landlords had paid miserable wages for labour until the 1974 revolution, when the workers rose up and seized many of their estates.
No doubt life there, even in those days, was a little more nuanced. The region has in any case changed significantly since, but not so dramatically that it is impossible to feel its recent history.
We had come to hike the newly signposted Alentejo section of the RotaVicentina long distance footpath*. British tour operators already offered holidays covering stretches of it, with baggage transfers between overnight stops, but this spring saw it completed and comprehensively signposted, making it easier to stay in one place and to dip in and out. It was pioneered by Casas Brancas, a group of enthusiastic accommodation owners and other tourism entrepreneurs whose common characteristic is individuality. The route splits into two - the Fishermen's Way running along the coast and the Historic Way swinging inland. It runs through the South West Alentejo and Vicentina Coast natural park, where new development is limited to the renovation of existing buildings. It makes for mostly moderate walking, with few uphill slogs, though some sections of the coastal path are not recommended to those suffering serious vertigo or real terror of steep drops.
The coastal route is stunningly beautiful. It dodges inland from time to time but mostly it runs along cliff edges covered, especially during spring, in such a profusion of flowers you might think yourself in a landscaped rock garden: white and pink cistus, yellow and chocolate umbrella milkwort, lavender and Hottentot fig, an invader from southern Africa. There are empty, tempting beaches, though they are often inaccessible without a tricky, time consuming scramble. Sometimes the storks, nests perched on rock stacks, were so close that it was possible, with the naked eye, to see them feeding their young.
Inland the views are less dramatic and the odds against encountering other human beings even longer. Even a guard dog which came barking at us from a farm on the way from Sao Teotonio to Odeceixe seemed surprised, rather than angry, to see us. It is hoped the footpath may help breathe new life into this landscape. Some owners who were turfed out during the revolution have returned. Others thought the task of restoring their estates too daunting. That said, extensive tracts are given over to the production of high quality cork is produced from oak bark and plantations of fast growing eucalyptus are used make paper.
We walked through a great oak forest south east of Santiago do Cacem, a sizeable town at the northern end of the Rota Vicentina, which was previously an important settlement for Romans and Moors. Each trunk bore a number to show the year in which the bark had been stripped for cork. It takes nine years before the tree is ready again for exploitation. We stopped beneath one to eat a picnic of sandwiches made from the ubiquitous and very special Alentejo bread, still baked in wood fired ovens. Its shade as welcome, for even in May the sun was fierce enough to see why shepherds here wear distinctive, short sleeved tunics to protect their backs from its heat.
Our base was the Herdade do Touril, opened ten years ago on a beef cattle farm not far from the small seaside resort of Zambujeira do Mar. It has a lovely saltwater pool. Our room gave on to an elegant little patio. The hotel provides fine breakfasts but doesn't do evening meals. This is a mixed blessing. Sometimes, after a hard day's walking, you might not feel like venturing out again to a restaurant. You regret that unless you take taxis someone will have to drive, and thus forgo the full pleasure of the Alentejo's excellent and still under exposed wines. But then you would miss out on the wonderful Tasca do Celso in Vila Nova de Milfontes, which specialises in regional specialities, where I ate superb grilled sole - or a front row seat at Azenha do Mar, where the arroz and the drama outside were intoxication enough.

How: How: Roger Bray's trip was arranged by Sunvil Discovery(http://www.sunvil.co.uk/discovery/portugal/alentejo). He flew from Heathrow to Lisbon with TAP and picked up a rental car from Guerin and spending seven nights b&b at the Herdade do Touril. The firm can also arrange holidays there with a flight to Faro, which is about an hour closer. Casas Brancas is at www.casasbrancas.pt.

Prolitec Taps the Power of Scent to Banish Birds from BuildingsThursday, October 29th, 2009
"Feathered friends wear out their welcome once they start roosting in the rafters above the prepared-foods section at a supermarket, or triggering the automatic doors at a big-box hardware store as they fly above heads of customers and cashiers. But a new bird-control system from Milwaukee-based Prolitec Inc, a leader in indoor air-quality systems and services, uses natural aromas to make birds head for the exit—for good.
"Because this bird-control system is always on, the birds don't come back," said Richard Weening, CEO of Prolitec. "That is a significant breakthrough."
Branded "Avian Plus,"™ the new system was created by Prolitec's Aerobiology and Infection-Control Unit. It is available in the United States from Mission View, Calif.-based Bird-B-Gone, Inc., a Prolitec distribution partner and leading provider of pest bird deterrents. The new system will be available from Bird-B-Gone's pest-control clients in approximately 52 metropolitan areas.
"The bird control market worldwide is growing 20% annually and consists of hundreds of products, each with varying degrees of success," noted Bruce Donoho, owner of Bird-B-Gone, which has manufactured and distributed bird control products worldwide since 1992. "Being the leader in bird control means that we have a responsibility to offer only the most effective products to our wide base of customers. We're honored to partner with Prolitec in introducing and distributing the Avian Plus System. It offers significant advantages in the bird hazing product category and we're excited about its potential."
Avian Plus uses a proprietary formulation of fragrance and flavor ingredients engineered to be pleasant for humans but unpleasant for birds. Prolitec's patented "always on" micro-droplet delivery systems ensure continuous bird control by maintaining a minute concentration of the fragrance in the rafters and other locations frequented by pest birds.
The bird fragrance formulations are safe, humane and green—they contain no ingredients restricted for workplace environments by either the U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration or the California Environmental Protection Agency. Avian Plus is not a pesticide. The ultra-low concentrations of scent needed are less than 1 part-per-million, making it the greenest way to scent a space and remove birds.
In the past, owners and managers of high-ceilinged structures like warehouses, big-box stores and airplane hangers have either used cumbersome netting or mist-sprayers and foggers to spray the rafters with a bird repellant. "The birds would scram, but only temporarily," Weening noted, "and the foggers would leave residues on surfaces." Prolitec's delivery systems, by contrast, keep birds out of enclosed spaces for good by maintaining a constant level of bird-repelling scent within targeted areas. "The 'always-on' continuous-control approach is a significant improvement over fogging," he said.
Moreover, Prolitec delivery systems such as the Air/Q 1100 employ patented micro-droplet technology that uses a fraction of the liquid formulation required for more conventional systems. "Prolitec's micro-droplets are a million times lighter than conventional aerosol droplets and, ounce-for-ounce, have 10,000- times more exposed surface area," Weening said. "In short, a little bit goes a very long way."
Avian Plus has an on-board computer that enables users to control the scent-effect intensity and daily start and stop times.
Prolitec offers wall-mounted, HVAC-integrated or freestanding Air/Q systems that disperse the scent in spaces as small as a single room and as large as a whole building. Avian Plus can be used in conjunction with modified units that include accelerators designed to direct the scent formulation up into the rafters. Maintenance of these systems is as simple as a 30-second change of a recyclable cartridge. Avian Plus comes in two scent formulations: linen and fruit.
Beloved as they are in nature, birds carry over 60 diseases transmittable to humans, and their roosts and nests can also host ecto-parasites like bird mites. Commonly labeled as pest birds in the United States, species such as the feral pigeon, the English starling and the house sparrow pose serious problems in airplane hangers, retail stores, warehouses, restaurants and other businesses.
About Prolitec
Prolitec (www.prolitec.com) is a world leader in the development and deployment of innovative air-treatment and air care technologies including odor control, ambient scenting and the use of scent as a medium of communication.

It made me so happy to think this was the perfect timing for my announcement.
I proceeded this evening full-throttle on my highly technical method of drawing names, even neglecting the spots on my counter so as to not delay any longer. And so, without further ado:

Reuters carries a story about a new advanced electronic sensor system that supposedly can replace dogs in drug search in the near future.
"We took the road less traveled and went in the direction of fusing biotechnology and microelectronics," said William Hunt, a professor of electrical and computer engineering who led the study.
The dog-on-a-chip works with antibodies by looking at their molecular structure, Hunt said. In this case the researchers tested cocaine antibodies, which change in structure and mass if they come into contact with cocaine molecules.
On the device, these changes trigger an electronic alert through a laptop, Hunt said, but researchers hope to make the whole package portable and battery-operated, either as a hand-held unit or as a device monitoring a particular area.

Planning and reading will provide a means for any writing to remain focused on addressing the central issues of the question with which a writer is faced. From the moment that an essay question is set the writer should be engaged in the process of focusing upon the key elements which will enable them to successfully answer it. Writers should look at whether they have considered:
1) What is the question asking?
It is important that the central question of the essay is understood (see above) and it is essential throughout the writing process that this is in your mind. It is crucial that the writer engages in reflective practice throughout the writing process in order to remain focused upon answering the central question.
2) Course materials?
In writing an essay related to a course or unit of work, it is important that you show evidence of having understood and made use of the materials which have been discussed as a part of your studies. Part of a tutor's assessment will be made on whether you have made good use of the relevant materials which have been provided for you in answering a particular question.
3) Understanding of concepts and ideas?
One of the key elements of a good essay is in the writer's ability to express their understanding of concepts and ideas in their own words. Written work should illustrate the writer's processes in coming up with their particular argument or proposition whilst demonstrating how the writings of others either agree or disagree with them. On occasion it will be necessary or pertinent to quote directly from others: when this is the case it is important that the original author is acknowledged through correct referencing, in the style dictated by the College or University. For instructions and advice about plagiarism and correct referencing please refer to (This needs to be inserted).
4) Reasoned and articulate proposition?
The mark of a good essay is one which contains relevant information which focuses upon the question at hand, following a logical argument from beginning to end. Being able to construct a precise reasoned, clearly expressed answer to a question is an indication of having a firm grasp of a unit's contents and an ability to think logically in applying the information which has been learnt. The approach which should be adopted is one of objectivity where information has been analysed and used in a discussion or in the proposition of a particular point of view - this point of view, whatever it might be, must be based upon logical reasoning in the light of recent information.
5) Technical factors?
The section on presentation above covers these issues.

Type technology is in a state of perpetual evolution and reinvention. At the turn of the 20th century, the list of typefaces available for printing could fit on a single page. But companies wanting to export and differentiate their products on an international stage needed more font options than what was available. It was then that we realized type design would become as important as the technologies required for production and distribution.
Monotype creates the typefaces that designers and brands need to communicate. Technology is still a big part of that. As technologies evolve, we evolve our type designs and develop new fonts in response. Desktop technology has revolutionized printing and publishing, and introduced everyone on a computer to fonts and principles of design. It has also introduced designers to an extraordinary abundance of choice, and enriched design dramatically. We've been leading this revolution, developing typefaces that exploit the full potential of desktop technology for everyone.
Display text — text at large sizes — needs to make an impact. But just as a headline isn't the whole story, there's more to choosing the right display typeface than simply the wish to grab attention. There's a careful balance to be struck between looks and functionality. And there's a correct typeface for every kind of message, from a headline for an article about global warming to a poster advertising coffee. Matching the tone of voice of a display face to the content is crucial. The relationship to body copy is also key — a contrast in size and a harmony of styles. Get it right and you'll make headlines.

Building a Long-Distance Bond
I'm sure at this point in your column you've answered dozens of questions about mothers-in-law and the complex relationships we have with them. And even though you see them all the time, I'm still going to ask for your help with some issues that I'm experiencing with my own mother-in-law.
Let me preface this by saying that my MIL is a very kind woman who has successfully raised three wonderful kids. She loves my 16 month old, E, very much. The problem is that she is also insecure. We live four hours away and MIL and her husband rarely travel to visit our family, which means she only sees E 4-6 times a year. When she does see E, it takes him a long time to warm up to her and he usually cries when she holds him or gets physically too close to him. As a result, she gets her feelings hurt. Whenever this happens, MIL will distance herself from E and focus on E's cousin (six days older), M, who lives in the same town and who she watches several days a week.
If M is not around, we begin to hear about how intelligent, handsome, and wonderful M is and how much he adores her. Then she talks about how E doesn't like her and begins to note the many different ways that she feels that we can improve on parenting. If we happen to be around M (as we were this past Christmas), she will ignore E altogether and focus on taking care of M's needs.
When this occurred over Christmas, we had just arrived and were about to open presents. After she greeted E and he wouldn't let her hold him, we let the babies start opening presents and she began taking pictures of E and M. The next day when we downloaded the pictures of the boys, we were shocked to find FIVE pictures of E opening presents and TWENTY FIVE pictures of M during the same time.
My husband told her that this was unacceptable, but this has been a problem since E was born. Then I get upset with her, and it creates a distance that doesn't have to be there. I'm at a point of sheer frustration because I don't want E to grow up feeling like he's second best whenever he's around MIL and I want her to see that it's not his fault that they are not close yet because he is a BABY.
How do I work towards ending this pattern of behavior? My husband says he's going to address any issues that come up right when they occur in the future, but I don't know that it's enough. And I'm worried about saying too much because she and I have never been close. When we sat down to try to work through our issues a few months ago, she accused me of judging her parenting and pushing her out of E's life. Now I don't feel as though I can be direct with her without other accusations surfacing. Please help me find a way to resolve this, while being the best mother, wife, and daughter-in-law possible.
Here's the thing: biology doesn't equal bonding. Your son has not bonded with his grandmother, and she has not bonded with him. In a perfect world, she'd be able to get over her hurt feelings at his (perfectly natural) stranger anxiety and figure out creative ways to form and strengthen the bond despite the distance and infrequent visits, but she hasn't.
But I gotta say, I don't think the accusatory tact you and your husband are taking is helping AT ALL. Stop blaming her, and stop getting bent out of shape over the (also perfectly natural) bond she's formed with M and letting it hurt YOUR feelings. Stop counting photos and getting angry with her reverting to her multiple-days-a-week caregiver role with M. Smile and ask how M is doing and then turn the conversation around to focus on the similarities between the cousins instead. There's nothing particularly jumping out at me in your email to suggest she's doing it deliberately or callously. Maybe "carelessly" is as far as I'd go, because she's not really going out of her way to establish a bond with E (though as an aunt to half-a-dozen nephews, I can attest that it is kind of wounding when a baby cries every time you try to hold him or talk to him, and it's hard to shake the feeling that he doesn't "like you"). But regardless, I don't think getting upset or confrontational with her, basically trying to GUILT her into bonding or pretending to bond or hiding her closeness with M, is the answer here.
So. If you really do want E to have a close, wonderful relationship with your mother-in-law, you're going to have to pick up the slack here, and you're going to have to do it cheerfully and without resentment and without all the "SHE never comes to visit us, SHE gets upset when he cries, etc." thinking. Even if it's totally true! But it will drive you nuts, and the negativity will eventually undermine your own efforts, if that makes sense.
1. Webcams. I've written about these before — we routinely set up webcam chats with my in-laws so they can talk to the boys in-between visits. Two inexpensive webcams and a free video chat/messaging program (like Skype, Live Messenger, etc.) are all it takes, and your mother-in-law could be part of a special bedtime routine where she reads a book or sings a song to E, or just plays a funny game of peek-a-boo with him. Even if E has no idea what he's really looking at, he'll probably still be entertained and entranced by the screen and give your MIL the confidence boost she needs of the he likes me! he really likes me! variety.
2. Recordable storybooks. Send her a book that lets her read and record a bedtime story for E, and then send it back to you. If E digs it, you'll have another regular chance to expose him to Grandma's voice (show him a picture, too), AND Grandma will feel like you guys are going above and beyond in finding ways to include her in E's life, rather than her accusation that you guys are pushing her out. (You could also send her a small blank photo album and ask her to fill it with photos of her, her house, and yes, even M.)
3. Make more of the visits you get. We're guilty of this too — we see certain family members only at big, crazy holiday get-togethers, and yet somehow expect a small toddler to form relationships with six, 10, 20-plus people all on big, crazy day. It's a sensory overload for them, getting everybody's name barked at them and ordered to wave, say hi, high-five, whatever. Next time you visit, try to plan some nice E-centric activities that your MIL can do with him. Find an awesome public playground or kids' theater or museum…or something that involves buying a set number of tickets so it's clear that this is about a special "E and Grandma" day instead of morphing into another big family outing with M and other people that might defeat the purpose.
4. Write letters. E is probably a little young for this right now, but since I can tell you're scared that The Way Things Are Right Now is going to turn into a lifetime of favoritism and conflict, file it away for when he's two or three. Kids LOVE mail. They love stamps and envelopes and putting things in the mailbox and getting stuff with their name on it from the mailman. Have E draw pictures for Grandma and dictate letters to her…that always end with a "I hope you write me back soon!" to invite her to drop a note or card back to him. It will THRILL your son and again, involve her across the distance and give them both a point of reference when they see each other.
5. Remember that kids expand time. Your son WILL outgrow the stranger anxiety, particularly if you give him cues and reminders at home about who his far-away relatives are. And while you won't be able to change the disparity in face-time that his cousin gets with Grandma, you may discover that it really doesn't matter in his eyes. One awesome memory is all it takes — he may not remember that he only saw Grandma four to six times in the year 2011, but he may remember her funny cat who hid under the couch, or that she was there when he saw that amazing fountain he was allowed to run through, or at the mall with the fish.
Kids are sensitive, yes. It certainly dawned on me as a (much older) child that my grandmother played favorites and did it deliberately, but I don't really see that as the case here. It's just…a belated bond, right now. It's not anyone's FAULT, insecurity or not. Nurture that bond however you can instead of attacking or accusing or cataloging every bit of perceived preferential treatment — even if it means swallowing your pride and your anger at other non-deal-breaking issues — and things will be okay, in their own time.

Pacoima, California, July 30, 2004 – American Airports Corporation, operator of five Los Angeles County Airports, recently announced the approval by the L.A. County Board of Supervisors this month of agreements for the construction of new facilities at Whiteman Airport in Pacoima, CA. Pacific West Aviation, LLC entered into a thirty-one-year agreement for the construction of 36,745 square feet of new commercial office and aircraft storage space.

There is a thin line that many people find hard to define between the need to maintain online privacy and the national security requirements. Edward Snowden has raised some eyebrows as to the penetration of the NSA in people's privacy; however, there is no right or wrong when it comes to questions asked about the level of security that a nation has got to apply.
In other words, in theory a lot of people have either argued for or against the national security tactics used by the United States and other countries all over the world. The whole situation is difficult to be regarded as either justifiable or not. In such a fluid and ever changing environment, the attention has now been drawn to the value and justification of encryption.
Encryption tools have become more advanced than ever, enabling their users to maintain their anonymity and remain out of reach. An association of companies involved in technology has released a document to Barack Obama, where they urge him the following: "We urge you to reject any proposal that U.S. companies deliberately weaken the security of their products. We request that the White House instead focus on developing policies that will promote rather than undermine the wide adoption of strong encryption technology. Such policies will in turn help to promote and protect cybersecurity, economic growth, and human rights, both here and abroad."
Of course, it is needless to point out that creating backdoors for the Government to make use of includes a great risk. Nobody can say for sure that such backdoors will only be used in extreme measures. This means that institutions such as the NSA can benefit from a plethora of personal information options available to them, without even sweating for acquiring such information.
According to the OECD guidelines that have been structured for outlining the policies applied to the web, there are policies that embrace the global free flow of information, the open, distributed and interconnected nature of the Internet. At the same time, these policies aim to ensure transparency, fair process, and accountability, as well as cooperation to promote Internet security. In these lines, the dilemma of privacy versus national security is not resolved; instead, it becomes evaen more intense.
Online privacy is an indisputable right for every Internet user, while nations ought to protect their independence and the freedom of their citizens at all costs. Whether or not the one right outweighs the other is not clear and there are people who oppose to each side with reasonable arguments. Based on each and every single case, the scenario can either lean towards the Internet privacy or the need for national security. What remains certain at all times, though, is the fact that encryption is of paramount importance and should be a great tool in the hands of every person online!

|30 January 1965
It is there that comparisons end however, for just as KP is an indifferent orator, so Churchill was an indifferent cricketer. Indeed Churchill seems to have been no cricketer at all. There is no record of him having taken any interest in the game at any point in his career despite copious opportunities.
His school career at Harrow is generally considered a failure, but not because he made no impression on the cricket field. Biographies tell that he was once humiliated by a group of his schoolmates who threw cricket balls at his hapless self who took refuge behind a tree. His early military career in South Africa seems to have been wholly preoccupied with beating the Boers on the battlefield rather than the cricket field.
But there is one brush with cricket greatness in Churchill's career – at Harrow he was fag to Archie MacLaren – one of the greats of the golden age – whose 424 scored in 1895 stood as the highest score in English first class cricket for almost 100 years, until Lara's 501 in 1994. MacLaren's judgement on his youthful servant was severe - 'snotty little bugger, uppity but damn near useless, with no aptitude even for sport.'
Well, Churchill had the last laugh – for MacLaren died in November 1944, his glittering cricketing career long behind him and an unsuccessful business career, while Churchill watched the Allied Forces push towards Germany and looked forward to the end of the struggle.
Perhaps Churchill's experience of the bully MacLaren was a factor in his standing up to the bully Hitler, notwithstanding that he may have shared Hitler's disdain for cricket.
FB has always found Churchill's war time speeches an inspiration. He has tried many times to emulate them in his pre-match addresses to the members of the Carlton All Star 4th XI as they face another stern challenge in the lower leagues of the East of Scotland Cricket Association.
The faces of his youthful charges shine and they would seem to have nothing but admiration as FB solemnly intones, 'I have nothing to offer but blood toil tears and sweat.'
They look up with steely determination in their eyes as he goes on, 'We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.'
They hang stoically on his every word as he continues, '...if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour.'
And then a small voice pipes up – 'Er... right.... FB – you did remember to bring empire biscuits for tea didn't you?'

When Motorcycle accidents happen, you will likely get injured, or your bike could be completely wrecked. It is during such time that insurance firms and those responsible for the accident start finding ways to evade compensating you. A Texas motorcycle accident lawyer will help you get compensated both by the insurance firm and the party responsible for the accident.
How do you get the best motorcycle accident lawyer for your case?
The Texas State Bar
The first place to check is the Bar Association website. Here you can find lists of attorneys who're in good standing with the bar. Details are not always up to date. However, this is still a great starting point. Referral services may also be an excellent destination to go since they usually carry out the background checking on your behalf.
Friends and relatives
It's also a great idea to speak to close friends and family to see if they may have any attorneys to suggest. Friends in most cases share with you their unique encounter with a particular attorney, just how punctual the attorney had been at returning calls, the actual end result of the case, the expenses, etc.
You may also try to find impartial, third-party reviews: There are lots of outstanding lawyer-rating services available that are well-respected in the legal industry. Super Lawyers and Best Lawyers platforms are likewise regarded and trusted designations for finding qualified attorneys.
Find a Local Motorcycle Injury Lawyer
It is best to find a lawyer near you who knows the local court system well. For example, if you live in San Antonio, you would do best to find a motorcycle accident attorney in San Antonio. Furthermore, if you are in the process of finding the right motorcycle accident attorneys, ensure that they are well-educated with all the history of crimes on the streets and that they definitely possess the capacity and the means for a good background examination on the person against whom you will be standing.
With the actual attempt of finding the best lawyer, there will be some that you need to stay away from. Be mindful of any attorney or individual that contacts you first concerning your injury case before you can contact them. They are probably "ambulance chasers" or" case runners".
It doesn't matter what these people assure you… stay away! And also, just because a lawyer can acquire a big yellow page ad, highway billboard or a Television commercial doesn't mean they're excellent motorcycle accident attorneys.
It is important for you to find the best Texas motorcycle accident attorney if you happen to run into this sort of mishaps on the streets. The reality of the matter is that when you have been harmed, you will only get one chance to have the settlement you deserve. Which means you must keep in mind that the attorney you pick for your circumstance can make a huge difference in the value of your own case.

When you need to get the word out quickly and efficiently to your market.
A poster campaign with Reagan Outdoor Advertising is THE most cost effective way to saturate the market with your message.
Poster panels are purchased in groups called "showings", which
typically run for four-week cycles. The number of panels in a "showing" is determined by the market population and the level of saturation that the campaign requires.
For example, a #75 GRP showing delivers circulation equivalent to 75% of the Austin Market population on a daily basis.

A United Airlines ticket agent was mistakenly shot at New Orleans' Louis Armstrong airport after a passenger's gun discharged when he was checking in for a flight.
In case you didn't know (and I didn't know), guns are actually allowed in your checked luggage provided they are not loaded. Now, as a New Yorker who does not go hunting, that sounds slightly insane to me, as you actually are allowed to bring a gun into an airport provided you do not bring it through security. Yes, that sounds completely ass-backwards. You can't bring water through security, but you can bring a gun up until the security checkpoint. Nutty.
That all aside, the gun was loaded and as the gentleman went to check his gun (which he legally brought into the airport, even though, as I just mentioned, you cannot bring water through a security checkpoint, and which I only mention here twice because it is important, no matter how you feel about guns, to stress the seeming incomprehensibility of those two regulations) it fired, grazing the ticket agent's leg.
The ticket agent only had a minor wound and was brought to a local hospital for treatment. The passenger who brought an accidentally loaded gun into the airport received a misdemeanor summons for negligent injury, roughly the same punishment he would have gotten for bringing 4.7 ounces of shampoo through security.

From time to time, everyone has an off day where they said something to someone that they regret or perhaps they do not regret, however they wish their "filter" was working. It is a difficult concept to understand that we cannot control what other people say and do. It is even harder to control our own reactions, especially if we can feel particular heightened emotions in our body whether they are pure rage or anxious excitement.
This week's challenge is to build awareness of what happens when you react to others. What happens to you physically? What thoughts come into your head before you speak? Do different people bring up different emotions and reactions? I'm sure they do! Remember, whatever happens outside of you with others, you cannot control. The more awareness that is gained through understanding how you react to different people, the more control you will have to respond the way you really want. Even if you don't get to the reacting differently this week, building awareness of your reactions is a good place to start as this is a more difficult challenge. Good luck!

Additional information about the reorganization of Ajakirjade Kirjastus 11.05
We will announce that according to the agreement, Ekspress Meedia, the daughter company of Ekspress Grupp, will take over the publishing of monthly magazines Eesti Naine, Anne ja Stiil, Pere ja Kodu, Oma Maitse, Tervis Pluss and Jana and the weekly magazine Kroonika as of May 31st, 2018. From the 1st of June, Ekspress Meedia is the responsible publisher of these magazines.
AS Ajakirjade Kirjastus, together with the rest of publications will be merged with AS SL Õhtuleht; after the merger the name of the new legal entity will be AS Õhtuleht Kirjastus. These two companies will be merged also on the 1st of June, 2018.
The main goal of the reorganization is to create a
better online-output of the content of printed magazines of Ajakirjade
Kirjastus and support the co-operation between the publications and the strong
web platforms of the group. In 2018, it is not reasonable to begin constructing
a new large web centre, instead it is sensible to offer the reader quality
content in co-operation with existing platforms. None of the magazines issued
will be closed: the strong media brands will continue being published, but
their content will be more accessible to the readers. The six monthlies and the
weekly Kroonika will be available on the website of the market leader Delfi.
Õhtuleht on the third position will be able to strengthen itself with the
content of three monthlies, crosswords and the weeklies, which are well
compatible with its profile. For the subscribers, all magazine subscriptions
will remain unchanged.
The ownership structure of the newly merged company, AS Õhtuleht Kirjastus, will not change. As before, it will belong to AS Ekspress Grupp and OÜ Suits Meedia in equal parts.

Redditor Mohayat lives in Kuwait and snapped this amazing photograph of a traffic light literally melting under
the hot summer sun. a burning car (edit: turns out it was a burning car that melted the traffic light).
Here is the current weather and forecast for Kuwait.
Want to see something crazy? This is the forecast for Phoenix, Ariz.
Here is Las Vegas.
Is the term "the oven states" a thing? Because it should be. The new reality is that the southern and western states in the U.S. are going to bake every summer. Throw in steadily declining water supplies across the region, and it's not hard to envision future population shifts to cooler and wetter states. How do you really live in a place where it's hotter than 100 degrees for more than 100 or 120 days straight?
Welcome to the new world. Thank you global warming.

This just sounds like a recipe for hurt feelings/unnecessary awkwardness. Have a sweet heart table. Sit your parents a table with their closest friends and your wedding party at a table with their SOs. Being on display as a WP is always uncomfortable anyways. If you insist on having a head table, then I would just keep parents separate at their own tables. No one is going to be like "why isn't John's father at the head table?! Wasn't he a groomsman?!" I'm sure his father and wife would prefer to be at their own table with their closest friends/family anyways.Knottie10724897 said:We have a rather large wedding party but are able to have significant others of our wedding party be seated at the head table, luckily. My fiance has chosen his dad to be his best man and thinks he and his wife (it's complicated but she is not the mother of the groom) should be seated at the head table. I feel weird about this because more than the best man, he is the groom's father - that is his primary role. My parents are not part of our "wedding party" so to speak, and as such, they won't be sitting at the head table. I feel weird having one set of parents at the head table and not the other. I was thinking that his parents should be seated at a family table, just like my parents will be. I also don't want to make my parents feel left out.
The table could fit my fiance's father and his wife, just barely. But there is not room to accommodate my parents as well. Adding the groom's parents would max out our table - people would be sitting on the ends of a long table if we add them.
What do you all think?

How to align the wooden floor
Wooden floor, even the highest quality, withOver time, "acquires" cracks; board begin to sag, bend. But who wants to shelter under my feet were unsightly spectacle? Just - no. In deciding to "refresh" the living space laying laminate, linoleum or tile, it is important to understand that only quality-adjusted wood floor can become a reliable "base" for the new coating. Why is this event so important? And most importantly - how to align the wooden floor, what methods exist for this? These and other questions will try to answer in this article.
- Why align the floor of the wood?
- Sanding: difficult but possible
- Application of self-leveling compounds
- floor Shpatlevanie
- Laying plywood sheets
Why align the floor of the wood?
Many people are interested in the question: But why even level the wooden floor? We hasten to assure that this procedure is extremely important. After all, cracks and "hunchback" of the old coating can negatively affect the new "decoration" of the floor. And it does not matter what it will be - hard or soft; There will be a tile, carpet, linoleum or something else - troubles with the wrong approach can not be avoided.
But if soft (eg linoleum) covering moreYou can forgive a small (but rather tiny) wooden irregularities, the tile or laminate flooring to be "outraged" at the slightest flaws. They are always "vzduyutsya" in the defective spot.
The most popular and effective ways to align the wooden floor today is considered to be:
- scraping;
- use self-leveling compounds;
- Shpatlevanie floor;
- laying the plywood sheets.
Sanding: difficult but possible
Perhaps the most difficult way of leveling, butuniquely effective. Ideal for those who do not plan to install a new cover and decided to limit painting or varnishing of "what happened." There are mechanical and manual scraping. The first is done by Scraping machines, the second - with the help of manual tsiklevatelya (broken glass). The manual process is extremely time-consuming and sometimes not justified. Therefore, the mechanical method is more preferable.
By working with the scraping machine to be thoroughly prepared. You will need:
- headphones - to properly isolated from the noise emitted by it;
- respirator - so that in the process not breathe dust;
- gloves, thick gloves - because you reduce the feeling of vibrations from the device.
Important! Prepare not only themselves, but also "processed" room: furniture polyethylene cover, remove the curtains, paintings. So you will be able to keep things from fine dust inevitably formed.
Particularly dangerous for the machine blades is nails and buttons. Hats of the add should be completely drown the floor.
When you have finished with all the preliminary manipulations, you can start to the intended use. Begin to "transformation" from the corner and "move" the snake. So the first layer is removed.
Now we have to close up all cracks, holes, hole filler most suitable color. Continue sanding process is possible only after its complete drying and curing.
If the individual planks are badly damaged,you must remove them ... and turning, back to bed. The procedure will help you avoid the "motley" of colors of the wooden cover: Replace the old board to keep the brand new single tone will not work.
Floor handling in tight spaces (at baseboards) made manually tsiklevatelem.
Upon completion of work necessary to vacuum the room - but do not rush to let all the dust settles. Before painting or varnishing the floor, wipe with a cloth soaked in white spirit.
Application of self-leveling compounds
In your plans do not include varnished? Resolve to lay laminate flooring or tiles? So, one can not do sanding. Especially if the floor without a shudder and did not see.
The best option in this situation may be the use of self-leveling compounds for wood floors. With their help you can get exemplary smooth coating thickness of 5 to 20 mm.
How does the alignment of this kind?
- The original wooden base is in proper form. "The spring" design elements necessary to make stills - come to the aid of screws or screws.
- All caps, as in the case of sanding, you need to go deep into the floor.
- The base must be sanded, thereby purifying it from paint residues, varnish and dirt.
- All nayavnye cracks and voids are sealed sealed with acrylic putty or all of the same self-leveling compounds, divorcee "thicker".
- After drying thereof, the floor is primed special waterproof primer. It will provide good adhesion mixture to the prepared base.
- The walls around the room should be paste over the insulating material.
- In places the "seam" of the walls and the floor seam is created from Styrofoam.
- It should determine the level of self-leveling floor. Be sure to note the minimum and maximum thickness of the coating, declared by the manufacturer.
- For primed floor staple gun mounted reinforcing mesh. The joints of her paintings are connected with an overlap of at least 5 cm.
- The mixture is prepared in accordance with the instructions thoroughly mixed using a drill with a paddle. Let it stand for about 15 minutes, then stir again.
- Cooked "potion" is poured, reinforced surface; bubbles are removed with a roller.
- Level the surface with a spatula, squeegee or rules.
- Drying must be carried out in full compliance with the recommendations on the package. The qualitative result is impossible without respect for the optimum thermal regime.
Be careful! Excess water can provoke its separation in the preparation of the mixture. If you want not only to align the floor, but also to raise the level, the fill should be carried out in two steps.
floor Shpatlevanie
It should be noted the rapid growthPopularity putty mixtures based on PVA and sawdust (wood). Thanks to them the opportunity to align the wooden floors a sufficiently large area. And the cost of such fillings and makes the process more cost-effective.
- the cleaned floor stuffed beacon rack (level);
- the space between them is filled with a mixture of (consistency a la "thick cream");
- so dust is not pulled too quickly water from the adhesive is recommended to moisten them, and then gently squeeze;
- if you need a thick layer of putty, it is better to do so: form a coating layer in the 1-2 cm - each subsequent applied after complete drying of the previous one;
- We check the level of the result. If necessary, we put additional portions in the "problematic" places.
Lack shpatlevanija - an impressive time period for drying the PVA.
Laying plywood sheets
Quite popular, we can say "hit", the alignment of the wooden floor.
And it begins with the installation of lighthouses - screws,screwed to the desired height. . Their exact location - the corners of a square with sides measuring 20-30 cm and the distance is directly dependent on the plywood thickness: the thicker the plywood, the less established beacons. Then laid logs (plywood strips). To the floor they are attached with glue or screws. If between joists and boards are reviewed "emptiness", it is necessary to fill their bars blurry glue plywood.
Preparation of veneer sheets
Optimal is considered to be cutting plywood. Sheets into squares with sides of about 60 cm Look carefully at the ends of the blanks - there are no bundles? If any, you still found, it is recommended to replace the defective sheet.
Finished squares lay on a pregenerated net lag, watching location plywood joints - they should occur in the logs. The very same is done by laying the brickwork - offset - in order to avoid crossing the four seams. Secured with plywood screws with countersunk head.
Interesting! Pre chalk marking up the joints you will be able to save time and effort: improvisation "in the process" more resource-intensive.
This alignment allows you to get a fairly flat rough floor, ready to "take" any coating.
Aligning the wooden floor - it is certainly not easy, but if you strictly adhere to the algorithm of actions and follow professional guidelines, all sure to succeed.
