The future of home technology is either exciting or scary, depending on how you feel about robots wandering around your house or your toilet telling you have diabetes. The innovations in technology across the world, in any area, are often mind boggling – stuff you've only imagined in the movies. But what we have seen in those films is fast becoming a reality. And home technology is leading the way.
So what is the future of home technology? Of course, as a homeowner, you can control the level of technology you have in your home. But if you are buying a new build home then chances are it will feature modern innovations and creative concepts that you haven't seen or used before. Do you embrace it or run away?!
Controlling your home from your smartphone or tablet is already a reality and already the norm for many. Innovative apps will allow you to control the thermostat, lighting, music and more. You can also choose presets if you are looking to create a certain mood for a particular occasion. And many people already have robots in their homes, little hoovers that hover around all day, collecting dust and rubbish from the floor. But how would you feel about a mutant robot with one arm and three fingers that can pick up items, tidy up, operate machines and serve drinks to dinner guests? A prototype robot has been developed by scientists in Germany that can do these things and more. And it won't be long before is launched onto the market. Creepy or progressive?
Smart appliances are already becoming a big part of the future of home technology. Fridges, washing machines, freezers and more with touch screen displays and innovative technologies designed to make your life easier. They will also make 'decisions' based on your preferences or requests sent from your smart device.
The future of home technology is fascinating. It will be interesting to see how these gadgets and gizmos actually contribute to making our lives better or easier. One thing that will definitely change in future is home design. We are likely to see a lot more creative, innovative, environmentally friendly and energy saving home designs in the future. And as creative developers ourselves, that is what excites us here at Inspired Homes.

Training for Upper Back
You can target the muscles of the upper back using the exercises profiled in the right hand navigation panel Just because you can't see your back, it doesn't mean you shouldn't train it. The back is often overlooked and under trained because people don't bother to put the effort in. However, the back region – along with any other body part – really shouldn't be neglected.
Since the chest is a point-of-pride among egotistic males, many guys end up developing imbalances between the opposing chest and back muscles. This particular imbalance can be easily identified though. All you need to do is stand up straight and let your hands hang naturally to the sides.
When standing naturally, your palms should be facing the outside of your thighs. However, if your chest is tight and overdeveloped in relation to your back, your palms will be rotated inwards – because your shoulders are rotated inwards – and they'll be facing either the front of your thighs or in extreme cases, your palms will be completed rotated over and facing behind you.
In terms of how to actually selecting the right exercises for your upper back, you'll need to first understand how the upper back muscles function. The upper back is composed of three main muscle groups..
The trapezius (aka. "traps")
The rhomboids
The latissimus dorsi (aka. "lats")
Here's a brief breakdown of each..
Exercises For Traps
The Trapezius Muscle.
The Trapezius
The "traps" consist of the parts – the upper fibers, the middle fibers and the lower fibers. Each serve their own individual functions..
Upper Fibers: These are the muscles up around the neck. If you don't know which ones I'm talking about, think of the player profiles at the start of a football game. When they show photos/video clips the offensive or defensive linemen, the "traps" are what give them that no-neck appearance.
The traps serve an array of functions, most notably, they help to elevate the shoulders, flex the neck to the side and extend the neck back as well. However, the traps also help protect a nerve called the brachial plexus – and this is why it's so important to train them. For more detailed information on that, just check out the breakdown of the shrug exercise.
Middle Fibers: The middle fibers also help to elevate the shoulders and because of that, they're also strengthened by performing shrugs. The middle fibers also assist in a variety of arm movements and in addition to that, they also assist the rhomboid muscle (discussed below) in drawing the shoulder blades together.
The middle fibers of the traps can be trained via shoulder shrugs, rowing movements that are done properly (initiated by drawing the shoulder blades together) and by performing bent over dumbbell laterals with your elbows in line with your shoulders.
Lower Fibers: The lower fibers – like the middle fibers – are also involved in a variety of arm movements and they too assist the rhomboids with drawing the shoulder blades together. Not only do the lower fibers assist the rhomboids in pulling the shoulder blades together but they also help to pull the shoulder blades downwards and because of that, you can train them with chin ups as well.
There's an movement you can do called the "superman exercise" using an exercise ball that also targets the lower fibers of the traps really well. It's really important that you incorporate exercises that strengthen the low fibers of the traps because they're typically the most underdeveloped muscle within the back and the weakness contributes to pain and shoulder instability.
With all this talk about "rhomboids", I get you're probably wondering what the heck they are. Originating on the spine and attaching on the inner portion of the scapula, the rhomboids are responsible for initiating numerous shoulder blade movements.
The rhomboids play a major role when it comes to drawing the shoulder blades (scapula) together during the beginning phase of a rowing exercise. They're also responsible for the downward rotation of the shoulder blades (pull ups) and on top of all that, they also assist the upper traps to elevate the shoulders.
A great way to target the rhomboids while performing dumbbells rows – or anything rowing exercise for that matter – is to draw the arm back to a position that has the elbow aligned with the shoulder. Check out the photo..
Exercises For Upper Back
Just be sure to use better form than this dude..
Performing these modified rows may also help reduce back pain for people who spend hours upon hours hunched over at their computer desk at work. Just make sure you use better for than the cartoon dude in the illustration. Click the link to learn how to perform the dumbbell row exercise properly.
Lat Exercises
The Latissimus Dorsi
Latissimus Dorsi
The "lats" are the sought after muscles that run down the side of the torso and when developed, contribute to that desirable V-look of the upper body. Ladies, you know you love it!
The primary functions of the lats are to draw the shoulders downwards and to extend the humerus (upper arm bone). Two exercises that mimic these movements are pulldowns/chin ups and dumbbell pullovers.
Upper Back Training Techniques
Your back program should begin with compound/multi-joint movements such as chin ups or dumbbell rows to maximize lifting potential and increase testosterone levels. As mentioned above, many of the muscles within the upper back are responsible for drawing the shoulder blades together.
Because of that, you want to initiate rowing movements by drawing the shoulders blades together – just focus on bringing the shoulders back while keeping your arms straight. Doing this will isolate the rhomboids – for the first 6 inches of the movement anyway – because your arms will remain straight and the biceps won't be involved. Of course, once you bend your arms and pull the dumbbells, barbell, machine handles towards you, the biceps are recruited to assist with the movement.

Groundwater systems and little-known fish parasites will be investigated thanks to two new University of Queensland Moreton Bay Research Station scholarships supported by Sibelco Australia.
An independent panel of academics awarded the $2500 scholarships to UQ research higher degree students Daniel Huston, of UQ's School of Biological Sciences, and ATM Jahangir Alam, of UQ's School of Earth Sciences.
Their research will be undertaken at UQ's Moreton Bay Research Station on North Stradbroke Island.
Mr Alam will study perched aquifers, which are underground water resources that occur above water tables, between impermeable layers of rock or sediment but below the surface of the land.
"The results will be of great interest to the hydrological community, local community, water suppliers and local industry," Mr Alam said.
"Regional groundwater systems on coastal islands are used for water supply.
"Connecting them with perched aquifers may result in fatal stresses to the ecosystems dependent on these localised perched systems, and unsustainable groundwater usage.
"Understanding the dynamics of both systems and the timescales involved provides the knowledge for more informed water management systems."
Mr Huston will study a small and little known family of parasites found on grazing fish ‑ such as silver drummers - from the family Kyphosidae from Moreton Bay.
Among other things, grazing fish are important in maintaining the health of coral reefs as they remove algae from coral.
He will describe new parasite species and provide benchmarking records for the region. In addition, he will be the first to study the life-cycle for the parasite family Enenteridae.
Mr Huston said although parasites were ubiquitous, they continued to remain among the least known group of organisms.
"Substantial progress has been made in characterising the biodiversity of parasites in
the Indo-West Pacific, but the study of most groups remains incomplete," he said.
"The key outcome of this study will be a detailed description of the true species richness of the
Enenteridae in Australian waters."
The scholarships are available twice a year. More details are available online.

$8 million radar to nowhere
Your tax dollars at work thanks to King of Pork John Murtha. Pennsylvania, why did you put this hog back in office. Why? (h/t William Amos):
A state-of-the-art radar system that has sat idle for years at a local airport has never been used because there has been no one to operate it, officials said.
The Digital Airport Surveillance Radar, or DASR, was built at the Johnstown-Cambria County Airport in 2004 with $8 million from the Department of Defense.
"It's been out there spinning, ready to go. But, there's no manpower," said airport manager Scott Voelker.
Voelker said for a small airport like Johnstown, DASR is a big deal. It would help air traffic controllers track airplanes up to 120 miles away, instead of five or 10 miles. It would give pilots the weather forecast an hour before it happened.
The radar system was built with the help of earmarks form Rep. John Murtha and was paid for by the Department of Defense. When it was built five years ago, DASR was expected to give an economic boost by creating 14 air traffic control jobs and lure more and bigger planes into the region.
But, because it's also a training ground for the Pennsylvania National Guard, it's never been manned.

2 Less Noticeable Ways To Straighten The Teeth
If you are planning to have your teeth straightened, there is no need to be concerned that you will be displaying a mouthful of metal throughout your orthodontic treatment. There are many teeth alignment options and that straighten the teeth as well as traditional braces but do so in a much more discreet manner. Here are a few dental alignment applications that straighten your teeth without being so noticeable:
Invisalign is an alignment system that straightens the teeth without the use of metal brackets. The Invisalign system uses plastic trays to help reposition the teeth. The trays, which are similar to mouth guards, help gently force the teeth into proper position.
The system includes a series of aligners to progressively straighten the teeth. As the teeth adjust to the positioning of the current set of aligning trays, the patient exchanges the current set for the next set of trays in the treatment plan. Each set of alignment trays in the patient's treatment plan helps progress the teeth further towards their intended alignment.
Invisalign is often preferred because of the ability of the application to be removed by the patient at will. This is important because the patient does not have to adjust to a new way of eating or even brushing and flossing his or her teeth.
The Invisalign system is also quite affordable. For people who could easily pay for traditional braces, Invisalign is not an overly expensive option. Traditional braces are usually priced around $3,000 to $7,000. Invisalign's cost is comparable at $4,000 to $7,400.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces, which are sometimes referred to as clear braces, are also quite discreet when worn. Although the braces are designed like traditional metal braces, ceramic braces are less noticeable because of the material used to fashion the brackets. Instead of metal, ceramic is used. Since the material is tooth-colored, it is difficult to see against the patient's tooth enamel.
Traditional ceramic braces require elastic bands to hold the arch wire of the braces against the brackets. Still, clear elastic bands can be used to help preserve the discretion of the braces.
A full course of treatment with ceramic braces usually costs $4,000 to $8,000.
To find the best orthodontic option to straighten your teeth, schedule a consultation with an orthodontist in your area. He or she can thoroughly assess your bite and misalignment levels to prescribe a personalized treatment plan for you. Check out websites like http://www.dentistryoffayetteville.com to get started.

Mission Statement
Dedicated to a definite Christian philosophy of education, Community Christian Academy of the Community Bible Church exists to afford parents the opportunity to fulfill their God-given obligation to "train up a child in the way he should go" (Proverbs 22:6, KJV).
Vision Statement
Community Christian Academy purposes to provide a Christ-centered education with a biblical worldview which will prepare students with academic excellence and lay the foundation for further learning and Christ-like living.
Philosophy of Education
The educational process in a Christian school is dependent upon a biblical philosophy that provides a Christ-centered worldview and essential truths for life so that children may be prepared to assume their proper place in the home, church and state. Community Christian Academy will teach principles based on the Bible to enable children to make right decisions, help them resist temptation, and live respectable lives. To that end, Community Christian Academy has developed these statements to direct our educational philosophy and their administration:
Faith is developed in children by the principles in God's word. Goodness is developed by application of Scripture. "…add to your faith goodness; and to goodness knowledge; and to knowledge temperance." I Peter 1:1-10. All academic knowledge should then be related to Biblical principles and godly character.
Community Christian Academy can best meet its mission as a partner with parents in the education of their children. When parents share in our philosophy of education and are enthusiastic about learning, their support and excitement will motivate their children.
Community Christian Academy will strive to give children a Christ-centered education and an education that is academically rigorous in order to help them develop to their full potential. Screening and testing will be administered to assess their development and will determine admittance.
Curriculum and teaching will help students discover the answers to critical worldview questions concerning God, origin, humanity, moral order and purpose. It will:
- be biblically-based and child-centered (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Ephesians 6:4)
- create consistency with faith and science (Genesis 1, Romans 1)
- uphold the dignity of human life (Exodus 20:13, Matthew 5:21-22) and identify and support the biblical model for a family (Genesis 2:18,20-25, I Corinthians 7:1-16, Ephesians 5:33)
- encourage support of divinely ordained institutions – marriage, the Church, and government (Genesis 2, Ephesians 5, Genesis 10:32, Romans 13:1, Exodus 25:8-9, Matthew 16:17-19)
- reinforce the principles of diligence and a strong work ethic (Genesis 3:19, Exodus 20:9-10, II Thessalonians 3:6-13)
Teachers are to be role models for the children, teaching with the love of Christ in all things. (James 3:1, Matthew 22:16, Luke 6:40)
We will work to develop students who become:
- committed followers of Jesus Christ with a strong biblical view of truth (or reality)
- responsible and patriotic citizens who understand and appreciate America's Christian heritage and work to strengthen that influence in government and every sphere of culture
- persons with values, principles and character, able to add real-life value to those around them as someone who is educated, thoughtful, articulate, honest, productive, and service-oriented
- able to confidently and lovingly share, give reason for, and grow in their faith
- capable of continuing their education and/or becoming productive citizens, improving society through their life and work.

There's plurality in wrongness
It was the hackathon after NPW 2009 in Oslo. mberends and I were placed in
front of the same screen-and-keyboard in order to provide Rakudo with an
IO::Socket implementation. We already had some Parrot code that worked,
but we wanted to have it as Perl 6 code, or mostly Perl 6 code.
"Let's change it little by little until it's a Perl 6 class," decided mberends. "It's easier to start from something that works and notice when it breaks, than it is starting from something that doesn't work and trying to make it work." (Emphasis mine. mberends said it matter-of-factly, not extra boldly.)
The hacking session went like a breeze. As I recall, we did indeed have a few failures along the way, but in each case we were but a permutation or two from the main path where things worked. Had we started from the other end, with squeaky-clean Perl 6 code, we would likely not have connected the dots that day. Overwhelmed by permutations.
The dictum has somehow stayed with me, and I'm reminded of it now and then. It's a fairly general principle, and natural selection employs it all the time, always starting with a clean batch of living specimen for the next mutation experiment. (Though I can't find the quote right now, some biologists has said something to the effect of "The number of ways to be alive is vastly smaller than the number of ways to be dead.")
In Configuration Space, the configurations that we appreciate run like a thread through a sea of chaos, error conditions, and wrongness.
In some sense, eXtreme Programming, TDD, Scrum, and Continuous Integration all make use of this principle too: always keeping one foot on the path of Working while exploring the jungle ahead.
Even such a simple thing as Unix exit statuses speak to the fact that while success is singular, failure is many-flavored and multitudinous.
The other day I was reminded of the principle in yet another guise. While tinkering with Yapsi, I found a program that compiled even though it shouldn't. Obediently, I added it to a test file containing programs that shouldn't make it through compilation. (That is, "ok" means "indeed doesn't compile".)
To my surprise, the test passed, i.e. the compiler choked on the program. This was surprising indeed — I had just run it on the command-line without a problem. Suspicious, I added some logging to reveal the errors the compiler gave for each failing program.
Turns out the errors were themselves mostly erroneous, and that the compiler was suffering from a nasty case of state bleedover between individual compilations. Once I was aware of that, the problem in the code was easily fixed... but the bigger issue was that the tests were satisfied with asserting that "this program fails... somehow". I fixed the test file to actually match the error message in question as well.
There are many ways to fail. Therefore, a test checking for failure may not succeed for the reason you think. Even failing successfully is an art.

The White-tipped Dove, formerly known as the White-fronted Dove, is a non-migratory Neotropical species that reaches the northern limit of its range in southern Texas. It has the largest range of any native Columbid in the New World and is the only representative of the genus Leptotila in the United States. The White-tipped Dove is elusive, and despite its extensive range in the Americas, relatively little is known about its biology. Most published information originates from research in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of southern Texas.
In general habit, the White-tipped Dove is largely terrestrial, preferring to forage on the ground alone or in pairs, rarely in groups. While foraging for seeds, berries, and occasionally insects, the walk is best described as mechanical with considerable head-nodding. Although common throughout most of its range, this species is more often heard than seen, preferring to remain in concealing vegetation or along the edges of clearings and trails. When flushed, individuals produce an audible wing whirr and a noticeable flash of white from the tail, followed by an often short, rapid, swooping flight (1). Typically, the White-tipped Dove flies only short distances and stops, motionless, on low hanging vegetation or the ground, where it is becomes less visible once again (1). However, the characteristic call of the species, not unlike the sound produced when a person blows across the mouth of a empty bottle, frequently betrays a bird's location.
Nesting behavior of the White-tipped Dove appears to vary greatly with latitude. In the tropical and temperate regions of the Neotropics, the species nests year-round. In southern Texas, the White-tipped Dove nests in spring, summer, and early fall (March–September) peaking May through July. Females lay two, rarely three, white or cream-colored eggs in slightly concave nests at varying heights, situated in dense vegetation and vines. Information on reproductive success is limited throughout the species range. One study in southern Texas suggests that White-tipped Dove nest survival is strongly limited by depredation and nests are most vulnerable during incubation (2). The species is year-round resident and young seem to move little from their natal localities. Low dispersal rates may explain low occupancy of seemingly suitable patches of habitat (3).
Despite its designation as a game bird in Texas in 1984, insufficient research has been devoted to the conservation and management of the White-tipped Dove. There is presently no effective program for population monitoring.

Via Threatpost.com -
A new version of the venerable Alureon malware has appeared, and this one includes some odd behavior designed to prevent analysis and detection by antimalware systems. However, this isn't the typical evasion algorithm, as it uses some unusual encryption and decryption routines to make life much more difficult for analysts and users whose machines have been infected.
Alureon is a well-known and oft-researched malware family that has some rootkit-like capabilities in some of its variations. The newest version of the malware exhibits some behavior that researchers haven't seen before and which make it more problematic for antimalware software to detect it and for experts to break down its components.
Researchers at Microsoft took apart the newest version of Alureon and found that the malware now uses what is essentially a brute-force attack to decrypt its own encrypted components.
The Microsoft researchers found that not only did the new version of Alureon employ the encryption and decryption routine, but it also tries to complicate matters by spreading the encrypted data out all over the place.
"Interestingly enough, the encrypted buffer supplied as input for the decryption function is not found as a contiguous memory region but instead is scattered throughout the PE's image, being spread between code, data, resources, etc. This makes static recovery of the encrypted file more complicated," Microsoft's Marian Radu and Daniel Radu wrote in their blog post on the malware.
Older versions of Alureon, which also is known as TDL and TDSS, have included some other interesting capabilities, as well. A version discovered last November had the ability to bypass the driver-signing protection on Windows 7 and Vista that is meant to prevent malicious code from being loaded at start up. TDL4 was able to do this by changing the applications that Windows will allow to load an unsigned driver.

Paris Vacation - day 3
Versailles we have today (and imprisonment for its' owner who dared build a greater palace than the sun king!)
L'Ilot Vache on the Ile St Louis (one of my favorite retaurants I find myself at time and again), I was thankful to climb the million steps up to my own Paris Pied a terre just across the street. Long but fabulous days!

I think life in a palace was one without privacy. UGH. No matter how lux, never being without attendants would drive me mad. Very cool places. I love tented rooms too. Would die for that great Mornay apartment by Delecroix... you must be having a grand time... Have some ice cream at Berthillon for me!!

So excited to hear that you're in Paris! And that you made it out to Vaux. It is truly magical there. Did you have time to tour the gardens? When David and I went they had all of the candles lit in the garden and in the windows at dusk. I was completely enchanted.
Lets get together when you're back so I can hear all about the trip.

I once did a school essay on Vaux le Vicomte. The builder Fouquet not only built a larger, more beautiful palace than the king, he invited Louis XIV to the most spectacular of dinners, including gold plate, fireworks, dancing fountains and a play for the occasion by Moliere. It was quite evident that he had embezzled huge sums from the treasury, and Louis XIV had him arrested that very night.

Was I the last person to learn about these BB creams? Up to a few months ago, I had never seen one before, and then, all of a sudden, bam! BB creams everywhere!
What theses creams are trying to be (or promising to be) is an all-in-one skin care regimen, with one tube packing SPF, moisturizer, some color and a treatment! I'm sold! Only one product to do everything? A dream come true!
I have yet to try one of them, but with so many BB creams on the market, I'm sure I'll find something. On my radar right now the Boscia B.B. Cream:
People mostly say that it's a light weight moisturizer, with a tint, that leaves their skin firmer and glowing. Nice. What's not to like about that?
Boscia's description: The gentle botanical formula creates a lustrous, flawless finish as it hydrates, firms, and soothes the skin. It helps to diminish the appearance of pores, fine lines, and uneven skintone while providing long-wearing, natural coverage that conceals imperfections. Comes in a self-adjusting, universal shade that warms to complement most skin tones for sheer, flawless coverage.
For $38 this one is on my must-buy list!

Due to a completely foreseeable trip back to Ohio for the holidays, I have been vacant, haven't I? I could have pre-planned a couple clever blog entries. But I didn't. Currently, I sit in the Detroit airport, waiting for my flight back to Charleston. I've been here in the freezing tundra of the Midwest since last Tuesday. I'm exhausted. I have a terrible cold. My dry, warm climate skin is peeling off. So I apologize for my blogosphere absence. And my Twitter absence. And my Facebook absence. Well…you get the idea.
So. Christmas is over. And this holiday season was new and unfamiliar. Granted, we still did the exact same stuff. On Christmas Eve, we go to our church for the rock show we call a Christmas service. Our service (the ROCK SHOW) involves soaring electric guitars, light shows, and even fake falling snow right before the sermon. Still, it's our church, and we attend the 3:30 PM service every year on Christmas Eve. Then, we go to my Aunt Susie's house. I'm in charge of the drinks, ranging in flavor and alcohol content from Cosmopolitans to Labatt Blue. We feast at Susie's house. We listen to the Muppet's Christmas album, featuring John Denver. Then, when we have sunk into sufficient holiday comas, we head to Papa and Grandma Schwind's house for PRESENTS.
Since I was old enough to tear paper, we have retained an identical seating chart for Christmas Eve present opening. My brother and me sit by the fireplace. My parents sit on the pink couch. My Grandpa Schwind…see, I could list everyone, but there's no need. It never changes, since I was four years old. We go around in a circle opening our presents one by one. We hug. We kiss. We say thank you, thank you, thank you. Then, it's time to clean up the living room and head on home, because Santa comes in the morning.
Christmas morning, my parents, my bro, and me wake up at 8 AM. Mom makes the Chocolate Raspberry coffee, and in our PJs, we open MORE presents. MORE presents. More hugs, kisses, and thank you, thank you, then, there is another feast. A Christmas brunch. The whole family comes back together. Papa and Grandma are always dressed to impress, having come from Christmas morning mass at St. Rose. The rest of us wear our flannel and show off our additional Christmas gifts. Then, when the family is gone, my brother and me drink Bloody Mary's and watch our new movies, care of Santa Clause, until we pass out Christmas night and wake for another day of fat happy winter in Ohio the following morning.
So if we've done the same thing every year since I was FOUR, why was this year so new and unfamiliar? Well, a couple things…
1) My Aunt Robin, Uncle Steve, and Cousin Pearl flew in from Washington for Christmas (and they have never done this, since I was born, 27 years ago).
2) My Papa and Grandma did not go to Christmas mass at St. Rose together this year, because time has finally begun to catch up with them—mentally and physically.
3) For the first time EVER, I brought a stranger into the house…otherwise known as my boyfriend, Jake, from Charleston…to meet the family and wallow in Dobie Christmas decadence.
I will say it was an adventure. It was strange prepping for vegetarians in the house (Robin, Steve, and Pearl). It was scary talking to my Grandpa Schwind and having to tell the same stories several times before anything registered. Scary seeing my Grandma Schwind in so much pain after her shoulder surgery and being able to do nothing about it. And yet how miraculous, watching Jake in his rarely worn glasses, University of Florida ball cap, and pajamas, opening presents from my parents Christmas morning.
And when it was all over—now, as I sit in this airport—how strange to think it all flew by. Another Christmas, come and gone. I could blame it on living in Charleston. For the entirety of December, it was sunny, 60 degrees, and they decorated palm trees with Christmas lights. It didn't FEEL like Christmas, because I wasn't freezing my "grommets" off (as Grandpa Schwind would say). Maybe I'm getting older and Christmas is losing its luster. Santa really doesn't exist, and like the kid in The Polar Express, I can no longer hear the bell from Santa's sleigh.
However. I think I'm wrong. I don't think the holiday flew by because of my current warm climate habitation. I don't think I'm too old for Christmas. Perhaps it flew by as every Christmas has always flown by—because good times ALWAYS fly by. Because every year, I build up the idea of Christmas for weeks and weeks beforehand. I buy presents and listen to Frank Sinatra sing "The Christmas Song." The day arrives, and I can't believe it's snowing inside my church on Christmas Eve. I can't believe Papa Schwind still drinks cheap gin and tonic at Susie's house before dinner. I can't believe I still get all giggly at the sound and smell of Mom and Dad's coffee machine, brewing that Chocolate Raspberry java Christmas morning.
And this year, it was even better, because we added to the tradition. We added the Washington people, and we added my Jake. The holiday happened. It expanded. It's still magical, and I can't believe how immature I get for those mystical, miraculous 48 hours, from the morning of December 24th to the evening of the 25th. Like in Bill Murray's "Scrooged" tirade at the movie's conclusion, for this one time of year, we all laugh a little easier, smile a little faster, and want to do nice things for the people we love.
I'm about to board the plane. I'm high on DayQuil, and my suitcase is ten pounds heavier than when I flew up here last week. Let's hope, as I return to the hustle and bustle of work, bills, and adult responsibilities in Charleston, I take home a little bit of the warm fuzzies I've enjoyed for the past week. I hope you, dear reader, wherever you may be, do the same. So in conclusion, Merry Christmas to all…and congrats for making it through another holiday season without a family homicide.

Quirk in Pac-12 schedule: In final week, Colorado faces foes for first time
The Pac-12 basketball schedule has teams playing 18 league games. That means each team will play four conference opponents (two pairs of travel partners) just once.
This season for the Colorado men's team, that meant only playing Oregon and Oregon State in Boulder, and only playing on the road against Stanford and California.
During the final week of the regular season, Colorado (20-9, 9-7 Pac-12) will be facing the Bay Area teams for the first time. CU plays Wednesday night (7 p.m., ESPN2) at Stanford (18-10, 9-7) and Saturday (4:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network) at California (18-11, 9-7).
California plays Utah for the first time on Wednesday in Berkeley. And then Stanford hosts Utah on Saturday.
"It is unusual," Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins said. "In preparing, we have to get as much tape (on Colorado) as possible. We know they're playing very well.
"Fortunately, we've played these two teams (Colorado and Utah) in the past, and they have some of the same personnel. So we'll have a feel for them in that regard. But it is unusual."
Colorado sophomore center Josh Scott said facing two "new" teams will be refreshing.
"I think it's pretty exciting playing a team you haven't played before," Scott said. "It's a new challenge."

CNN reported that a young man in Newark, New Jersey was made to strip naked and whipped with a belt repeatedly. The beating was video taped in broad daylight occurring because of a $20 debt.
While this video is shocking, what's even more shameful is how the reporters talk as if this isn't something that happens all over. People have been videotaped being beat down for less than $20.
The crazy thing is the mayor speaks on how the city needs help cracking down on violence in the city and people need to call police when stuff like this beating happen. It's not hard to find. I mean, really dude, all you have to do is type the name of your city and fights, brawls, beat downs, or rumbles into a YouTube search.

This reflection by Women's Center Director, Jess Myers, was written for and originally shared on the ACPA's Standing Committee for Women blog. It has been republished on our site with their permission. For more on ACPA SCW, check out their website.
When the Women's Center at UMBC at celebrated its 20th anniversary, the staff wanted to make a commemorative quilt. Each student organization and department the Women's Center partnered with over the years made a square that was patched together into a quilt that was unique to the history of the Women's Center. We indulged in this practice to honor America's rich history of quilting and patchwork. For centuries, quilts have told stories and were uniquely linked to their creators, who most often were women. The process of quilting encouraged women to share their stories and build community with other women. This felt like an appropriate nod at history as we celebrated our own. With this experience, I've especially enjoyed this year's Women's History Month theme of Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives.
As our country has evolved so has the medium for telling our narratives. We now rely on various social media platforms to share our stories as we Instagram brunch with friends, share the latest viral blog on Facebook, and tweet our experiences throughout the day. What was once threaded and woven is now tweeted, liked, and hashtagged. And, while there may not be a beautiful quilt at the end of the day, many student activists of today are nonetheless weaving together an important story that will impact the future of women's history. This is the story of the campus sexual assault movement happening now on college campuses.
Over the past year, I have been a part of a study with three other student affairs professionals exploring the strategies employed by activists involved in the movement to address sexual violence prevention and response on college campuses. Through observing online forums and the 23 interviews of both current students and recent graduates, a powerful story of activism unfolded. Our findings are rich and extend well beyond our original research question, but as I contemplate this year's Women's History Month theme, I am compelled to share the ways in which the participants used social media as a tool to weave together their stories and experiences as a medium to demand change on campuses and within our nation that support survivors of sexual assault and condemn sexual violence within our institutions of higher education. Participants in our study described using social media in several intentional ways, two of which I'll explore here: to connect with other activists and as a tool for reducing power dynamics present in other spaces.
Sharing Their Stories with Others: Social Media as a Connection to Other Activists
Activists described the power of social media in helping them connect to other survivors and activists which supported a shift in momentum related to addressing sexual violence. By connecting with other activists, their story was no longer one of isolation but one that weaved into a greater context of support and validation. Several participants highlighted the power of solidarity when sexual violence related hashtags trended on Twitter such as Wagatwe Wanjuki's #survivorprivilege which provided a forum to express their experiences. Moreover, one participant, Lynn*, captured the importance of this solidarity between and among activists from a variety of places. She said,
"There's just a wonderful solidarity of knowing that you're not alone… And when you see, as painful as it is to find other people who have been through what you've been through, there is an incredible level of empowerment that comes from knowing that somebody else has that experience, and that you're not crazy."
Creating New Spaces to Share Their Story: Social Media as a Tool for Reducing Power Dynamics
Closely related to the connection and solidarity activists felt from shared spaces online, some activists also identified the importance of online spaces as environments where power dynamics were reduced allowing their story to be told and heard. Some LGBTQ activists used online space because they did not have to out themselves in face-to-face settings. Other activists identified the importance of using social media as a forum where a variety of perspectives might be shared and validated, especially those that are historically marginalized. Vee, a participant who identifies as a queer woman of color, explained Twitter as community in which "I can breathe a sigh of relief, where I can get the validation I need." When sexual assault stories highlighted by mainstream media often tell only the narrative of young, cisgnedered white women, the need for this counterspace online becomes even more important in ensuring all voices and stories are woven into the movement. Peter, another participant in our study, highlights this point:
"And if we're talking about at risk communities, marginalized communities, communities that have been historically marginalized are not welcomed into the same spaces and so to a lot of people the only thing that they have access to and the only way that they are able to participate is through social media because of that anonymity that's allowed that isn't allowed for if you put your name to it."
There is a power in hearing women's stories. While remembering and recounting tales of our ancestors' sacrifices and dedication is important, there is also great power in the stories being woven now. The story for these survivors and activists is still a work in progress, but during this Women's History Month, I celebrate their efforts. Unlike a quilt which must be fully completed for the story to be told, social media is allowing me learn from activists across the country in real-time about their experiences, needs, and challenges. Their stories are already being woven into my practice as a student affairs professional and I am all the better professional for it. This will be a story not only tweeted, blogged, and hashtagged, but one that will be woven into the fabric of our national history.
*Although many survivors in the current campus sexual assault movement are choosing to publicly use their names and identities in their activist work and/or with media outlets our study uses pseudonyms to ensure confidentiality for all of our participants.

Here are some ideas for using our song "Nellie Bly" in your Pre-K classroom:
Find or create large pictures of the following:
- an airplane
- a bus
- a mini-van
- a sampan
- a rickshaw
1. Tell the story of Nellie Bly very briefly. You can do this simply by saying "Nellie Bly was a woman who took a trip around the world."
2. Explain that the class be listening to a song about the places she went and the different moving things she used to get to those places.
LISTENING: Give each child large copies of all five of these pictures. Ask them to hold up the correct picture as they hear each mode of transportation mentioned.
This is an additional advanced activity for a different day or for a class that wants to listen to the song again.
1. Announce that now you're going to try to find out which moving things Nellie Bly did ride in and which ones she didn't ride in.
2. Play the song. Nod or shake your head if you think your class needs these prompts.
3. Hold up the picture of the airplane. Ask students "Did Nellie Bly fly in an airplane around the world?" If the students disagree on whether she did or not (or if they all say "Yes, she did"), say, "Let's listen to the song again." Play the part of the song that mentions the airplane again and shake your head as we sing "She didn't fly an airplane. No airplane!" Ask the students again if she flew in an airplane. Repeat for each moving thing.
Color a picture of one of the moving things. Or ask your students to draw a picture of themselves riding in their favorite moving thing.

Music's Newest Career Track has a Social Conscience
21CM | By Diane Haithman
The word "outreach" in the performing arts conjures up visions of the local orchestra performing for underserved communities – then rushing back to the concert hall in time for the 8 p.m. curtain.
But a new crop of classical music entrepreneurs wants to make social activism the main event. Musicians are forming more ensembles outside the orchestra in pursuit of new models of giving back. They are devoting their careers to music as social entrepreneurship.
Sebastian Ruth is a violinist, violist and the founder of Providence, R.I.'s Community MusicWorks, which provides music education for at-risk kids. The landscape was different 19 years ago when he founded MusicWorks. "When we started in the late '90s, our work was much more of a marginal activity," Ruth says. "I would say people were not flocking to do this kind of work. That seems to have shifted pretty dramatically."

Like many, I'm a fan of The World According to Eggface. She's got some phenomenal food ideas. I'm a little more used to recipes that have no more than three or four ingredients, so I'm starting out slowly! Even more exciting, I'm learning to take the basis and make things my own - like in the case of my buffalo chicken bites this weekend. Even though I have a freezer full of bites, and more food than I can possibly eat this week, I'm indulging this side of me who wants to experiment with tasty food that meets my nutritional goals.
I've been eyeing the Baked Ricotta recipe from theworldaccordingtoeggface.com for some time. I finally decided my sleeve was ready to try it. And it met my less-than-stellar cooking needs of having a limited number of ingredients. It also seemed time to put my new mini-loaf pan to the test. So, off I went! The verdict? It was easy and yummy. Two key food qualities I look for in something I'm cooking myself.
I tried freezing a couple, just to see how they'd do. I haven't tried them yet, but I'll let you know. The day after I made them I was craving pizza, and so I decided to re-heat one in the oven with some low-fat turkey pepperoni I found at the grocery store, and a little more mozzerrella on top.
I followed the recipe from Eggface pretty much to the tee, other than using the mini-loaf pan (loving how it portions it out for me) and adding the turkey pepperoni when I had a bit of a craving. I loaded the ingredients into My Fitness Pal and it gave me perfect nutritional requirements to use by loaf. Try it! Trust me, you can do it. Later, gastricsleeve4me

Two packages from overseas arrived at my house this week, and it made me think how cool it is to have access to unique fabrics from all over the globe. I found both sources on etsy! Look at these gorgeous hand printed lovelies from Maze and Vale in Australia. The rainclouds just get me. I love the feathers too.
UniqueShiny based in Seoul. These great paper-like prints come as a panel on a single piece of linen/cotton blend. The other panel is information about Hangul, the Korean alphabet, and traditional Korean houses.

Shirt – JCrew – exact here
Jeans – Frame Denim – similar here
Sneakers – Golden Goose – similar here
Leather Belt – Whistles – similar here
I guess I haven't been exactly that 'fashion like' since moving to the US, I just haven't really been that inspired by fashion since the move. However I have finally stepped out of my blue jean comfort zone and braved wearing the Frame Denim white jeans I bagged in the Selfridges sale last summer for just £30! These jeans still had the tags on months later! I just feel far more comfortable wearing white denim in California in the sunshine, I couldn't bring myself to wear them in the UK. I've even picked up a winter tan so I don't look all pale and pasty when wearing them but I still have that lingering fear of spilling a drink or dropping my dinner all over them – that's just the sort of thing that would happen to me. These are Le Skinny de Jeanne fit and they are super skinny but really quite stretchy, I had to go down a size in these.
As the weather has been a bit milder I also finally took the labels off a JCrew shirt Mr B bought for me at Christmas. I love this shirt as the denim chambray is so, so silky soft and it's the perfect just oversized boyfriend fit, while still being fitted. This 'Always Chambray' shirt appears to be a staple JCrew item and is one of the items that rarely seems to go on sale.
Now lets see how long I can go without a spillage on those jeans!

Corporate volunteering - a personal perspective
I have been volunteering for the past 11 years. Together with my colleagues from the Association for Social Integration and Environmental Protection, I set up the Braşov Volunteer Center in 2008. These years of community involvement have meant for me a continuous learning process about the variety of volunteers.
Most of the ones we work with are youth: school pupils or students, young people in early years of work experience or looking for work. It is not common for people over 30 years of age to be engaged in volunteering, since, most of them say, they are busy with their long-term relationships or with families and children.
Volunteering is perceived as an activity which young people can do especially. If you work and have a family you can not imagine that you can get involved in the community. That's what we've seen in our little volunteer community.
Over time we have seen different paths of those who came to us. Those who were in high school were active until they went to college, those who were alone were no longer volunteering if they entered a relationship and others left the volunteer center immediately after hiring. I think it could be a matter of time management or a drop in motivation. For most people, volunteering can be a moment in life, associated with youth, a period of time when worries are fewer. It's a natural evolution that I understand and accept. It is important that your volunteer experience, no matter how long, helps you become a responsible citizen.
But there is always an exception. Our co-ordination team, which consists of members aged over 25 years, with full-time jobs, was so sontrgly motivated to keep pace, that it was active until we ensured the succession of the group of volunteers.
Our organization worked mostly on a voluntary basis, and for this reason the activities were organized with great effort and perhaps with many shortcomings in terms of volunteer management. However, over 11 years, more than 500 people have been involved in various actions in all fields (social, environmental, cultural, sports, civic).
I said above that at the Braşov Volunteer Center most of them are young people. Obviously there were exceptions: people who had the courage to come and do many extraordinary things for our community. We had seniors with incredible energy and strength. There is always the question of how we could involve adults in volunteer activities. They are an important resource and the fact that other countries have a significant tradition shows very clearly that they are capable and willing to make a contribution.
After a while I heard of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility). In March 2016, the VOLUM Federation drafted a guide called "Employer-supported Volunteerism and Corporate Social Responsibility." In this paper, corporate social responsibility is defined as a concept by which companies integrate social and environmental issues into their business structure and interact with stakeholder volunteers. It is also said that "it is also the interest of companies to develop this concept internally and externally, as well as the interest of society in supporting objectives related to sustainable development and competitiveness in the social and economic market". In recent years, non-governmental organizations in Romania have approached the businness sector in the field of volunteering supported by the employer. There are more and more collaborations through which employees engage in corporate volunteer activities.
It's happening the other way around too. The private sector is approaching us, NGOs, to facilitate voluntary activities involving private company employees. For example, those from Siemens Technology Braşov have an event called Siemens Day. Once a year, on working day, employees leave aside their job responsibilities and take part in volunteer activities. The first collaboration with Siemens was extremely beneficial to a significant number of organizations in Brasov. We, the Braşov Volunteer Center, managed to restaurate a space during one Friday in September 2016. The people were extremely responsible and took everything seriously. I have seen toughness, consistency but also great creativity that day. Together we managed to refurbish a space that requires more improvements: painting benches, tables, asphalt, panel mounting. It was a family activity because Siemens employees came with the children who participated in creative workshops coordinated by our volunteers. On that day Siemens was involved in other activities. They have prepared a lunch from the "Thank you" canteen, a project of the "Joyful Gift" Foundation, as well as organizing a running competition at Mercheaşa organized by the Carpaterra Association.
In Romania, we are still in the beginning with this, but in a positive evolution in terms of corporate volunteering. I know local organizations that already have a tradition in partnerships with private companies who want to get involved in the community. From the restoration of degraded lands through tree planting actions, initiated by the Conservation Carpathia Foundation to the preparation of food packages for hundreds of beneficiaries together with the "The Joy of Giving" Foundation - there are only a few examples that make me think that in time we will make a big progress, like other countries such as the UK or Norway, where 80% of the population is normally volunteering.
In order to better understand employer-backed volunteering and corporate social responsibility, I have always tried to relate to people who have a relevant experience in the field. If, in 2016, we visited the Hammersmith Volunteer Center in London, and we received from Dominic Pinkney information on how he organizes volunteer activities for private companies through Works4U, in February 2019, I attended a corporate volunteer course organized by Slovenska filantropija in Slovenia. The experience in Slovenia was due to the partnership that the Braşov Volunteer Center has with the Volunteer Center Cluj-Napoca within the project "CiVi - Trained Coordinators - Volunteers involved", a project funded by the Eramus+ program.
In Slovenia, there is already a tradition of corporate volunteering. Every year, companies have employee involvement programs in various activities. Slovenska filantropija is an organization which collaborates with private companies in their own activities but also takes he role of intermediary for other non-governmental organizations. There is a catalog of volunteer opportunities made by Slovenska Filantropija, which includes associations wishing to collaborate with private companies. The model in Slovenia has made me think that locally, the Braşov Volunteer Center can facilitate the relationship between private companies and non-governmental organizations working with volunteers. I am aware that this relationship will be formed over time but I believe that the number of companies that will involve employees in voluntary activities will increase in the coming years.
We still need to learn how to work together so that joint actions have a real impact in the community.

Sunday sees four absolute screamers take place with struggling to score Tottenham taking on in-form Newcastle. Relegation zone Sunderland take on under-achieving Man City. 1st place Arsenal take on 8th place Man Utd. Out-of-form Swansea host Stoke who are now playing football instead of rugby. The weekend should tell us a lot about the teams in the Premier League. Can Manchester United finally pull off a big win in the league? Will Arsenal continue their great form?Can Sunderland shock City? Can City continue their recent form to enter a Champions League spot? Can Tottenham score a goal from anywhere other than the penalty spot? Can Newcastle continue their great run? Can Swansea bounce back from Sunday's Welsh derby? Can Stoke continue playing football on the ground? Here's my score predictions:
- Tottenham 1-1 Newcastle
- Sunderland 1-4 Man City
- Man Utd 1-3 Arsenal
- Swansea 2-2 Stoke
Tottenham vs Newcastle will definitely be a close one. Tottenham are struggling for goals at White Hart Lane but are still looking solid defensively. Newcastle on the other hand look good on the attack and defensively. If it was at St. James' Park, I would predict a Newcastle win but as Tottenham are at home, I predict a 1-1 draw.
Sunderland are looking better under Poyet than they did under Di Canio but I think that Manchester City will still be too good for them. City have started to look really good under Pellegrini, even though they aren't yet in a Champions League spot, I still think they'll win, I predict a 4-1 City win.
Manchester United may be at home but they look like a very average team this season with a few world-class players. Arsenal on the other hand look like this could be their year. Not an easy one to call but I still predict a 3-1 win to Arsenal who look astonishingly good at the moment. I must however note that I think Van Persie will score United's goal.
Swansea look out of form and Stoke look in-form. That probably levels up the playing field. Its a close one to call and it could go either way but I think it'll go neither way with a 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium.
All in all, an immense day of football to round off what should be an immense weekend of football, whatever happens, Arsenal will finish top and Sunderland and Crystal Palace will stay in the relegation zone, the rest can all change.

text: MILWAUKEE, Dec. 20 -- LEDs originally developed for commercial plant growth by NASA have been found to help with slow-healing wounds, such as diabetic skin ulcers, serious burns and severe oral sores caused by chemotherapy and radiation, according to doctors at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. The US Food and Drug Administration has approved human and laboratory trials for the new technology, which is sponsored by a NASA Small Business Innovation Research contract through the Technology Transfer Department at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. So far, what we've seen in patients and what we've seen in laboratory cell cultures, all point to one conclusion, said Dr. Harry Whelan, professor of pediatric neurology and director of hyperbaric medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin. The near-infrared light emitted by these LEDs seems to be perfect for increasing energy inside cells. This means whether you're on Earth in a hospital, working in a submarine under the sea or on your way to Mars inside a spaceship, the LEDs boost energy to the cells and accelerate healing. Dr. Whelan's findings will be summarized in upcoming issues of Space Technology and Applications International Forum 2001 and in The Journal of Clinical Laser Medicine and Surgery.

Crypto Trades
The brand new online investing solution called Crypto Trades software has been created by a man called Bruce M. Hawkins. This product is actually one of the most recent trading platforms that have been released on the market. The main statement of the team behind it is that this robot is able to trade cryptocurrency and help you profit from that without having to deal with the trading process thanks to the automated trading mode. Everyone knows that the crypto trading industry has been rapidly expanding for the past 12 months therefore many people release automated systems like this one. There is however a thing that bothers us a lot and it is related with the fact that most of the presented online trading solutions are fraudulent and unauthentic.
We revealed much interesting and important information about the recently presented online trading robot. We advise you to read this scam review in order to find out why we believe that it is not worth it and should be avoided.
What is Crypto Trades?
Our first big disappointment came when realized that there was nothing important or crucial shared about the operational process or the characteristics and features of the automated crypto robot. This 'Crypto Code' group that is being promoted is presented as a special place designed only for traders who are willing to invest their funds in cryptocurrency trading and more specifically in Bitcoin. The man who is supposed to be creator of the product is described as a technological genius. He allegedly quit his former job in order to establish the Crypto Code Group.
We researched the legitimacy of this story and we revealed that it was absolutely fake. Not to mention that there is no relevant information on how the robot works. The presented images are nothing more than some randomly gathered stock photos.
In case that you are interested in seriously working with a proven platform, then we would like to advise you to consider joining the QProfit System by Jerry Douglas.
How to Start Trading with The Automated Robot?
There is nothing interesting or impressive in the sign up process. In order to receive your personal trading account you have to fill in the provided web form. Then, you will be transferred to another page where you will need to invest initial deposit to unlock and activate your trading profile. This comes to show that it is not free to start dealing with the software despite the promise which is supposed to grant you free access. Sadly, there is no further information on how exactly the platform is supposed to start earning profits on your behalf.
Is the Crypto Robot a Scam or Not?
We are more than 100% certain that the particular auto-trading solution is nothing more than a nasty scam system that should be avoided at any cost. It is just a cheap and absolutely empty landing page which does not provide any positive and profitable trading results for its members. Also, all the shared info is fabricated but not genuine and legitimate. The alleged creator is not a real person but a fiction character. We revealed that the photo used on the website to introduce him is a stock image.
>> Visit Tested & Approved Robot <<
The Internet space is full of negative user reports. There are many former clients of this bogus platform who share that they have lost all their invested funds. Stay away from this scam and find a really working trading solution to deal with.
Final Thoughts
This system is unauthentic and completely fraudulent. We hope that our readers will follow our advice and will stay away from it otherwise they will lose the invested deposit. All the bogus platforms just try to attract new members in order to steal their invested funds. And this one makes no exception to the rule. There are very few actually authentic and profitable online investing solutions so you should try to find them but not to spend your time on scams like this one.
After making a detailed investigation our team came to the conclusion that there are better Forex to trade with than Crypto Trades. We cannot confirm whether Crypto Trades is a scam robot or not, but upon investigating we found a lot of traders' comments and complaints about the performance of this Forex robot and we don't have confirmation that it can achieve the profits advertised via email.
We recommend you to Continue to Trusted Forex Robot and avoid scams by choosing a High-Rated and Trusted Robot on Top10BinaryRobots.com
