When creating a course on the Moodle platform, you must first begin with a blank course shell. The appearance of your initial course shell will depend on the default settings that your system administrator has set. The system administrator who has installed Moodle on the server has the ability to customize the look and layout, as well as many of the different functions available to users.
- Now that we've customized our Moodle profile and settings, we're ready to being building our first course. In this chapter, we're going to take a look at how to create a course, including how to customize the layout, adjust the settings, add content, and more. Before we do any of that, however, we'll start out with a blank course shell. Right now, I'm on my Dashboard, and I'm going to select the 21st Century Communication course that I've been given the role of Teacher by my Site Administrator. Now, I can select that here from the center or on the left hand side, under Navigation, I can click on my courses.
And click on 21st Century Communication. And here it is, an empty shell. This is the course Dashboard that students will see when they join the course, so we want to make sure that we get this setup the way that we would like it. Now, I need to mention again that your Site Administrator may have set up a default course shell that looks different from this one. If that's the case, the things we do in this video will still apply, but you might start out with a different layout. Let's first check to make sure that you have the ability to edit the course. If you have Teacher Manager permissions in the course, you should be able to turn Editing on.
If you looking in the upper right corner, you can see a Turn Editing On button. This means that I have Editing permissions in this course. In the Administrative block, you'll also see a link for turning Editing on. If for some reason, you're not able to edit the course, you'll need to talk to your Site Administrator. On the left and right of the screen, I can see what are called Blocks. These blocks will add functionality to your site and allow you to customize your course. We'll take a look at setting up blocks in this chapter. In the center of the screen are the different sections or Units, that the course has been divided up into.
Currently, we see the 25th of November to December 1st. The next one is December 2nd to December 8th. So this course is currently broken up into weeks. This section allows you to organize your class into weeks, chapters, units, quarters, or whatever you want to organize it in. For this 21st Century Communications course, I'm going to break it up into different topics or units that we'll be learning about, and we'll do this in the video on creating sections. So now that we've taken a look at a blank course shell, it's time to start customizing it.
- Navigating a Moodle course
- Starting with a blank course shell
- Using Moodle blocks to add different features and functionality
- Creating course sections
- Adding resources as file downloads and links
- Incorporating assignments, quizzes, and forums
- Enrolling students
- Creating groups
- Setting up the gradebook

Vanessa Aerts is one of a few designers who imagine jewellery as a light touch of timeless femininity. She follows her own trends, sets out her own rules. Her inspiration can be triggered by the corner of a chipped tile as well as by a piece of textile and her love of everyday life objects can be the start of a whole new collection.
Following Interior Design studies, Vanessa Aerts turned her hands towards smaller scale construction, creating the most refine and delicate jewellery. Often described by her ever-growing devotees as graphic and airy, the essential nature of Vanessa's work is discrete yet unique, classic yet contemporary and most of all feminine nevertheless subtle.
Working from gold and silver granules, semi-precious stones or even silk threads, she imagines and hand-builds her collections from start to finish, all from her atelier in Brussels. Vanessa creates her own language and sketches in the making. She searches with flair for new ideas to germinate in the organic gesture of forming and she treasures when 'accidents' occur. She stretches, cuts, files, polishes and brushes components…letting the very material draws her pieces in a unique manner.

Omar Afif
Abou el Tayeb al Mutanabbi
Omar Afif is a musician, chef, boat builder and craftsman from Essaouira, on the Moroccan Atlantic coast. Now living in Aberdeenshire, he joined us for a six month residency at the beginning of 2016, to explore his diverse talents from the Gnawa tradition, within the Huntly community.
A caravanserai is a traditional roadside inn where travelers, and their camels, could rest and recover from the day's journey. They supported the flow of commerce, information and people across the network of trade routes covering Asia and North Africa into Europe. These inns brought traders together, creating a platform for cultural and economic exchange. At its smallest point, Morocco is only separated from Europe by 8 miles, over the Straight of Gibraltar. On a fine day you can easily see Africa from Europe and vice versa. Despite this, for many, the psychological distance between these continents is staggering. With this in mind, we considered what it means to have a home; can home only exist in one place? What does it mean to be a nomad, a migrant or a settler today?

As part of my efforts to eat healthy and look better this year, I'm always on the hunt for beauty products that aren't harmful (but effective) and healthy recipes that are waistline friendly (but delicious.)
Lo and behold, Clairol Natural Instincts got the message and invited me to an event with their spokeswoman, Giada de Laurentiis, to talk about healthy hair color and recipes that are tasty but not necessarily going to require Los Stretchy Pants.
Let's just say that on first impression, Giada is tiny but mighty. And by that, I mean that not only is she incredibly friendly (she introduced herself personally to each person in the room before the demo), but girlfriend is RIPPED. Check out those arms, ladies.
And now, without further ado, let me break down the healthy recipe she queued up for us eager-to-live-better types who have a particular jones for dessert: Chocolate Avocado Mousse.
I know. You're thinking, "THAT'S CRAZY TALK TO PUT THOSE TWO THINGS TOGETHER," but I assure you that I tried what Giada threw together and I'm keeping this in my kitchen for regular use. IT IS AMAZING. The end result? Check it:
But the whole reason we were there was to talk healthier hair color and Natural Instincts is one of the best when it comes to delivering gorgeous, multi-level results at home without damaging the hair. It's a nice way to get a subtle result that can easily blend away greys and washes out in 28 shampoos (which means that the dreaded "rootline" is avoided.)
As someone who loves to play with hair color but who has "sensitized hair" after chemical treatments, I LOVE Natural Instincts because I don't have to worry about it wrecking my hair. It simply deposits color onto the hair with incredible shine and then it just eventually wears off. If you're thinking, "Hey, I might want to rock a subtle color change this year," I'd start here. These products are awesome.
Plus, with 32 shades and a price point of about $9, how can you lose? Check it out at your local drugstore or big box retailer and give it a go this weekend.
You can celebrate your new hair color with a serving of that rockin' mousse recipe. 🙂

SF Artist Plans a Mural "The Disruption"
San Francisco artist and muralist Sirron Norris has launched a fundraising campaign to redo his first-ever mural—a surreal cityscape intertwined with cartoon characters and machines—to be replaced with one that reflects the city's current struggles with inequality and police brutality.

Since then, major studies have questioned the efficacy of DSF in the treatment of alcohol dependence. Yet, DSF remains in use! This review explores the reasons why this is so, along with attempts to improve its efficacy in alcohol treatment and expand its use to other substances and disorders. Method: A systematic review of the 2004 to 2011 literature was drawn from a comprehensive MEDLINE search. Clinical trials using DSF for the treatment of alcohol and/or cocaine use and/or dependence were identified, along with DSF efficacy studies focusing on supervised administration and combination strategies. Results: Of the 83 articles retrieved within the initial search criteria, 22 were clinical trials or studies on the following subjects: comparing DSF with acamprosate and naltrexone; use of DSF in alcohol treatment with comorbidity; use of DSF in the cocaine treatment; assessment of the adherence to DSF; and combined use of DSF with cognitive behavioral therapy. Conclusions: DSF's complete mechanisms of action and its optimal dosage remain subjects of inquiry. The supervised use of DSF is justified for alcohol-dependent individuals struggling with their sobriety. Additional uses appear promising. *Addiction Psychiatry †Addiction Division, University of Calgary, Canada The authors declare no conflict of interest.

From southern barbecue to Mexican salsa, every great global cuisine has a signature sauce, and the undisputed star of Argentinean food is chimichurri. Made with parsley, garlic, herbs, oil and vinegar, the gluten-free wonder sauce has earned a reputation as one of the world's finest complements for steak.
Chimichurri Is Delicious On Many Types Of Foods
But the incredibly versatile condiment doesn't just taste great with grilled meat. The uncooked sauce also works with chicken and fish, whether used a marinade, or to dress a prepared meal. It's also been known to improve hamburgers, pizza, rice, potatoes and a host of other vegetables. It's virtually impossible to find an entrée that can't be made better with chimichurri! At Puerto La Boca, we love it with our entire selection of authentic Argentinian empanadas, and also serve it as a dipping oil with bread, so its lively green and piquant flavors can truly stand out.
Our customers seem to agree — Puerto La Boca's chimichurri often receives specific mention in our restaurant's favorable reviews on Google, TripAdvisor and Yelp.
Yelp Reviews On Our Homemade Chimichurri Sauce
One Yelp reviewer wrote, "The homemade chimichurri sauce was to die for!" Another said, "Delicious! I absolutely love their Chimichurri sauce and I put it on everything." And a third pointed out, "Oh my everything was all so good and we couldn't get enough of their chimichurri sauce as well. The sauce went so well with all the meats."
TripAdvisor Reviews On Our Homemade Chimichurri Sauce
On Trip Advisor, one satisfied customer called Puerto La Boca's chimichurri "one of the best we have ever had," followed up with another saying, "the chimichurri sauce was SO good. I could eat that sauce with a spoon!"
Puerto La Boca Chimichurri Now For Sale
Puerto La Boca's house-made chimichurri receives so many customer raves we started offering it for sale. For $7.95 you may pick up a 16 ounce jar to take home or offer as a tasty gift. Or, you could take the suggestion of one particularly enthusiastic online reviewer, who says, "I practically drink the chimichurri!"
That may not be the best way to enjoy our chimichurri, but we invite you to come try all of its other brilliant uses on our selection of grilled steak, fish and pasta dishes, and choose your favorite.

McDonalds in Sweden is launching a new promotion that will enable those who purchase a Happy Meal the ability to turn the iconic packaging into a Google Glass-like virtual reality experience. Simply pop in your smartphone and you're good to go. Just 3,500 Happy Meal boxes will be made available at 14 restaurants over the next two weekends.
Since we're talking about VR experiences, you'll need to pay out more for these special boxes, which will set you back around $4.10. From the Adweek report:
"The push is tied to the Swedish "Sportlov" recreational holiday, during which many families go skiing. With this in mind, McD's created a ski-themed VR game, "Slope Stars," for use with the oggles (though they work just as well with any mobile VR experience). The game can also be played in a less immersive fashion without them. To turn the iconic red boxes into Happy Goggles, just tear along some perforated lines and fold, inserting the VR lenses (included) and a smartphone (bring your own)."
It's a pretty neat promotion that will enable the company to better immerse kids into its own world of wonders.

PC Group 365 started as a dream, more like a purpose driven dream....very vivid...very real and very consistent! God literally placed it on my heart and I had no choice but to be obedient. I had absolutely NO extra income but I knew God made it clear to become a 501c3 organization. I knew in order to make this happen I needed a logo, a website and to become 501c3. So I went to paint on my computer and created top logo. As you can see, I am NOT a graphic designer.
I had all my social media accounts but I needed a website. I knew I had blogspot so I purchased my domain name and went to YouTube University (lol). I found a tutorial, "How to make your blogspot look like a website" and went to work. Those who know me, know I'm not a tech person but I was able to figure it out!
Now becoming a 501c3 organization takes money, way more than I had but again I was being obedient. So I reached out to my friend and 501c3 guru to help me with the process. I remember telling her, Yolanda I need a payment plan, so we agreed on 4 installments. Well the 4 installments turned into 2 installments. At the time I was deep in planning the 1st annual HFWAP charity kickball tournament, in which I had no sponsors, no players and no volunteers. All I had was a idea, that I proposed to the YMCA, who graciously trusted me to implement and plan and provided field for FREE! Praise break pause: God was all in this story as you can see:) OK back to the story....
So in August 2014, we became a 501c3 organization. September 2014, the kickball tournament raised $2700 and by October 2014, I was planning the next event with my sis Jennifer for epilepsy awareness ( which raises almost $5k).
The point of this story....what are you waiting for. If you have a dream...that gives a glimpse of your purpose, you have NO choice but to go for it! All God wants you to do is TRY WITH CONFIDENCE IN HIM!
God gave me direction and saw that I tried my best with what I could do....then he came in and gave me greater than I imagined. As you can see, the bottom logo is PC Group 365 official logo and we have a amazing website (check it out). Just so happened, I ran into my middle school friend who happens to be brilliant in creating websites and logos! He believed in PC Group and gave us a brand image that we love! I mean look at the logos people. . drastic change!!!
I hope this story encourages you to try until something happens!
Thank you to @they9group for doing our 501c3 paperwork, our board of directors for being apart of the movement, @visiatesolutions for branding us, all our sponsors and donors, our volunteers and everybody that supports!
We have our 2nd annual HFWAP tournament coming up Sat August 29th at Clanton Park from 11am- 4pm and our 2nd annual epilepsy gala on November 19th!
Oh and remember #givingisdope #gethooked

|Most UK orders delivered next day
|Visit our studio and have shirts made
The artwork:
English World Cyclo X Champions are rare, in fact there may only be one: Stuart Marshall. The Place was a very muddy Lembeek in Belgium 1986. Cyclo cross is intense, hard and lonely. The races are shorter than conventional road racing, typically go off from the gun and are raced at a significantly higher intensity. Finally there is no place to hide, no place where you can sit on for a bit of rest. There is more to go wrong, the conditions and terrain typically provide any number of excuses for failure. In the video clip of the penultimate lap You will see Stuart exploit the fact that man with wheel is faster than man on foot to gap his rivals. As they wrestle with the mud he mounts the bike before they do and applying a real effort and considerable skill – you try staying upright on a racing bike in that sort of mudbath – makes his break. And what about the way they can get on and off, blink and you will miss it. Stuart Marshall's effort here seems to me the epitome of someone who dared to fail. I think it ranks right up there with Chris Hoy's first Olympic Gold Medal. Stuart Marshall must have been very unfancied before the start but apparently unfazed by the prospect of failure put it all in anyway . Celebrate a great sporting achievement wear our World Champion 1986 t shirt. Image courtesy of Phil O'Connor. www.philoconnor .com
The shirts:
These t shirts are unique for being made exclusively for us wholly with fibres ring spun into yarns manufactured exclusively for WeAdmire. These yarns are then knitted into a single jersey fabric suitable for t shirts.
The CoolMax bit exploits the surface tension of water to wick moisture from your skin. It works through micro channels engineered into the profile of the fibre. These channels are physical attributes, they are there for the life of the fibre.
The Fresh FX bit embeds a silver salt in the molecular structure of the fibre that stops the propagation of bacteria which, left unchecked, ultimately cause a sour odour. Because the silver salt is embedded within the fibre it, like the wicking, is similarly permanent; it will not leech out with wear and washing.
These attributes deliver shirts that remain cool and dry almost regardless of what you might do in them and similarly they remain fresh. And the ongoing performance of the fabric is guaranteed. This is important, these shirts will become your favourite items of apparel, you will want to wear your shirts again and again.
These shirts are marvellous to travel with, they stay fresh if you don't have the chance to wash them, they wash easily when you do have the chance, and they dry super quickly. There is also a very useful side effect to all this: our shirts keep anything you wear on top of them and what you might wear after wearing them fresher too.
The cut and fit and sizing of these shirts is exclusive to us and was specified by Anastasia Vouyouka, a published guru of fit in the fashion industry.
The feel of the very best natural fibre shirts you have experienced with the performance of the fibres that set the benchmarks for wicking and freshness. It is very unlikely you will have experienced this level of technical performance in a decorated t shirt before.

When it comes to fashion, festivals are the perfect place for y'all to go all out and experiment as much as your wee heart desires. There are no restrictions as to what is considered fashionable or stylishly correct. You can be as adventurous and wild as you want. All within reason of course. I certainly wouldn't want my encouraging words of wildness to be responsible for anyone roaming around topless. "Don't be silly" you mutter under your breath. Ha! You'd be surprised by the things that go down at festivals :P In all seriousness, don't be afraid of wearing something that is outside of your comfort zone. Give it a go. Festivals are a great way of enabling you to express your creativity as you can be as bold, flamboyant and daring as you'd like.
One of the main factors to take into consideration when choosing a festival outfit is the weather. Fingers crossed the sun will be on its best behaviour as I certainly don't want my festival weekend to be plagued with the stereotypical British weather. However, if worse comes to worse and it's pouring down (definitely something to consider but let's not jinx it), do not let this dampen your mood. Sod it! All you have to do is switch your outfit up a little bit. Swap your distressed denim shorts or flowy mini dress for a pair of high-waisted jeans, flares or culottes. Not only will these be kinder to your legs and keep you warm but you will also still be bang on trend in the fashion stakes.
Gah! There's so much I could talk about but we'd be here all friggin' day so I'm going to quickly speed through some of the best festival hairstyles. Plaits are always a winner as they can be styled in several different ways (i.e. fish or french plait and halo braids), are hella easy to do and require very little time and effort. They're particularly favoured by those attending a weekend festival as they can be kept in for the duration of the time and still look tidy. Loose waves are another festival staple and look great with a floral headpiece, head chain, turban or a floppy hat. Finally, a messy chignon and top knot bun are great for those ladies who want their hair whipped back and out of their face.
Having popped my festival cherry last year I've already experienced the whole "Omg! What do I wear?", "Do you think this outfit is okay?" and "I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO WEAR" kinda dilemma. I know what works and what doesn't so allow me to offer you some helpful tips.
- #FestivalTip1: When it comes to footwear ensure you wear something that is comfortable as you'll be on your feet for the entire day. I'd also suggest you wear something that you don't mind getting dirty as there's likely to be mud and you're likely to get your feet stepped on at least once. Why not opt for a pair of biker boots, chelsea boots, wellington boots (that's enough of the boots, I promise) or trainers.
- #FestivalTip2: Whether you're festivaling for a day or a weekend ensure you only pack the bare necessities. Also, don't forget to choose a style of bag you wouldn't mind carrying all day long. Last year I wore a rucksack and let's just say, never again. I found it to be slightly annoying as all I wanted to do was have a good ol' boogie so I had to constantly take off my rucksack and rest it on the ground. This year I've chosen to wear a small-medium sized cross-body bag as it won't weigh me down as much. Remember, DO NOT overpack as you'll regret it.
- #FestivalTip3: Make sure you bring enough money to see you through the duration of the festival. It's sensible to bring that tad bit more rather than not bringing enough as you will not be able to leave and re-enter the festival grounds.

Lancaster ISD selected as pilot district for Texas College Access Network
Lancaster, TX/ Lancaster ISD/ November 4, 2011– We are honored to announce that the Lancaster Independent School District has been selected as a participant of the Texas College Access Network (TxCAN) North Texas pilot region by the Texas High School Project (THSP).
THSP, a public-private initiative of the Communities Foundation of Texas, joined with Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings and representatives of area school districts and institutions of higher education to make this announcement. TxCAN is part of the National College Access Network (NCAN), created to establish a sustainable network of agencies and organizations working collaboratively to increase student access and success in postsecondary education.
"We are excited about being selected as a participant of the North Texas TxCAN pilot region," Lancaster Independent School District Superintendent Michael McFarland said. "In Lancaster ISD, our focus is on ensuring that our students graduate with more than a high school diploma. We are committed to ensuring that our students leave us college-prepared and career ready with choices and opportunities. We look forward to partnering with agencies and organizations within the North Texas TxCAN pilot region who are equally committed to working collaboratively to increase student access and success in postsecondary education."
The existence of dynamic partnerships between area school districts, such as Dallas, Lancaster and Richardson ISDs, as well as UPLIFT EDUCATION, are considered key to achieving TxCAN's goals of success for all students throughout the North Texas region.
Key initiatives for TxCAN will focus on building awareness of existing college access activities and resources, aligning the strategic efforts of numerous stakeholders, and providing tools to measure the impact of access services. The district will join in the media kick-off at 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, Nov. 8 at the University of North Texas Dallas Campus.
The Lancaster Public Schools serve more than 6,000 pre-kindergarten through grade 12 students in 11 schools.

How can a printer make money selling web solutions part 1
When we talk about adding web services to your repertoire we are talking about more than just websites. In order to really be a single source provider for all your client's marketing needs, you'll need to provide a smattering of services that can all lead to additional, recurring revenue.
This article will touch on the many different ways you can generate income selling web services. We will cover each one of them in more details one at a time. Topics we will cover over the next several articles include:
- Hosting
- Website Design
- Content Creation
- Search Engine Optimization
- Search Engine Marketing (pay per click)
- Website Mentainance
- Email Marketing
- Custom Website Development
- Mobile Websites
- Mobile Apps
Depending on the topic we may cover several or combine complimentary offerings together to better help you understand how you can bundle services. This article will focus on two of the easier ways to generate residual income; hosting and maintenance.
A website is simply a collection of files. The files by themselves, are somewhat useless. Without a hosting environment to serve up the files via a browser a website is about as good as a business card that never leaves the box.
A host of money.
You can generate significant ongoing residual revenue by hosting your client's websites.
What is it? Hosting is literally a rental fee for the space that a website occupies on a server and the usage of bandwidth when the site is served to a viewer. Hosting is inexpensive insurance to keep your site available whenever someone wishes to view it. Every website needs a host.
Your customers do not care about hosting. They only care that their website is accessible, the site loads quickly, their email works and that they have access to their site files when/if they need them. That being said, wait until something goes wrong with any of these things to see just how much they do not care about hosting. Ok, so they do care, but not in the sense of what it does or how it is done. They only care that it works, every time, all the time and that they can get in touch with someone if it does not.
Not all hosting companies are the same, nor do they all provide the same services or level of service. Important things to look for in a hosting environment are regular backups, good system uptime and support. Hosting is somewhat of a commodity item in that usually the lowest price wins. However, the lowest price typically does not come with the necessary security or backups that a small business owner will want for their site.
How do I do it? Generally speaking you contract with an existing hosting service provider. These range from inexpensive hosting space only, to full managed services hosting providers. The more services the hosting company provides the more expensive the services are. If you do not feel comfortable with setting up services, configuring domain name servers, configuring email accounts, backing up your hosting spaces and other services typically handled by a systems administrator, then you will want to look for a provider who can handle all of these things for you and is available to answer your questions. Other options include setting up your own Network Operating Center (NOC), but I have yet to see a printer or typical web developer set up their own NOC. The hardware and equipment expense, fiber optic lines, backup generators, security and systems administrator salaries typically prohibits smaller web development companies from setting up their own hosting environments.
How do I make money? Basic hosting costs can start around $5 per month. Add in domain based email, back-ups and support and hosting fees can go to $50 or more per month depending on the needs of the organization and the provider. Hosting is typically quoted by the month, but billed annually. Quarterly and monthly plans are available as well, but these usually cost additional to cover handling fees. Typically your profit on hosting services is going to be between 40-50% margins. Remember a 50% margin is a markup of 100%. Selling a couple of website hosting projects per month over the course of a couple of years and you will be generating $3-4,000 per year in ongoing recurring revenue. You can also add services agreement and maintenance fees on top of your hosting fees to further add to your hosting revenue income.
Maintaining your way to larger profits.
What is it? Websites need to be updated regularly. Whether it is the addition of a staff member, a new product line or a change of address, a website needs to reflect the current status of our business. When selling web solutions, talking about regularly maintaining the website is necessary.
How do I do it? Most websites being built now have a content management system (CMS) or an admin panel that allows a user to easily make changes to their website. Using a CMS will allow you to make regular updates to your client's website based on new or changed information they send you.
How do I make money? Maintenance can be sold A'La carte, monthly, quarterly or annually. If you know the client will be having you make changes on a regular basis, a monthly package my work best. Start off with a couple hours per month and monitor how much time you are spending making the updates. If you regularly go over or under time, you may need to adjust the amount of maintenance you are providing. Many developers offer a discount if maintenance is paid for or a regular basis as opposed to on an as needed basis.
Both hosting and maintenance are hard to get excited about until you look at them as part of a comprehensive solution and as a profit center. Both of these items are added on to a website sale with relatively little additional "selling" needed. Most small business owners want to use one solution provider for all things web related and look to the web developer to suggest a host and a way to maintain the site.

What are bonds?
Bonds, also known as fixed income securities or debt investments are simply loan agreements between the borrower (issuer) and the lender (bondholder). Like loans, Bonds pay interest periodically and also repay the principal (original loan amount) at maturity. Bonds are normally issued by governments, municipalities and corporations when they require capital to for their activities.
The bond indenture for an issue is the legal document outlining the characteristics of the bond, otherwise the actual terms of the agreement between the lender and the borrower. It is vital that before purchasing a bond that your read the indenture, so that you can correctly estimate the risk of the security.
History of the Bond Markets
The first ever bond to be issued by government was in 1693, by the Bank of England to raise money to fund their war against France. However, the US didn't begin issuing bonds until World War 1, releasing the Liberty Bond. By the 70's, the modern bond market had begun to take shape. Investors no longer saw bonds as simply a way to preserve their capital and earn interest but rather as a way to make money, through buying and selling bonds in the secondary market.
Up until the 70s, the bond market was predominately made up of governments and large companies searching for capital. The main investors were institutional in nature, generally consisting of insurance companies and pension funds.
Over recent history, the US bond markets have offered the most liquid market, though Europe has expanded rapidly after the inception of the Euro 1999.
Today's the global marketplace for bonds, represents $90 trillion in securities. The 2 main sectors of the bond market are still government and corporate debt, though new types of bonds are becoming available such as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations.

Dispatch from SSC Intern Jason Wirick
This year I decided to take a leap of faith and head back to school to pursue a master's degree. I have recently moved to a new city and found a small studio to call my home. Degrees are not cheap, so I'm living on a tight budget like many other students.
Before my move I established a budget of $50 a week for food. For the first time in my life I will be shopping only for myself. Cooking for one is very hard and expensive so I thought trying to stay within my budget would be difficult. On top of a slim budget I also envisioned my move as an opportunity to start eating healthier food while exploring a new city through its local produce and markets.
In order for me to be successful, I researched what has worked for other people in my position. In Shawna Ayoub's article from Grist.com, she writes about things that have worked to green her grocery shopping while maintaining her family's food budget. Over the past two weeks I have been following a few of Shawna's tips and advice of numerous shoppers. I'm staying within my food budget, eating healthier food, and learning where my food is coming from. Here are some tips and ideas that are working for me.
- Buy what's in season. Most of the time the seasonal produce is cheap, has the best flavors, and has the smallest impact on the environment.
- Before shopping, create a weekly menu and plan your trip to the markets. Also, take a peak in your pantry and refrigerator to see what you all ready have before leaving.
- Eat more plants, period.
- Try to buy locally grown goods. A good website to find local farmers markets is Local Harvest.org.
- When you go food shopping, only bring cash. Paying with cash makes you more conscious of the priorities on your weekly menu.
What are your opinions or thoughts on trying to find reasonably priced local food or grocery shopping on a small budget?

Lida, NV/
Trek Date: October 12th, 2013
I was driving south on I-95. My next destination was Beatty so I could get a soda and some cookies before heading to Rhyolite and Bullfrog. As it was still early in the day, I decided to head west on Nevada State Route 266 to see if I could find the old mining town of Palmetto. I didn't make it there, however, as I got sidetracked investigating old mines and stone ruins along the way. I guess I'll have to save Palmetto for another trip. I did make it as far west as Lida.
The Nevada State Historic Marker alongside the road at Lida told me that the valley was previously a contact point for Shoshone and Northern Paiute Indians. And during the 1860s, it was the site of early prospecting for gold. Some further research revealed that the town enjoyed a couple boom periods over the years; the first when it was founded in the early 1860s – 1870s, and the second during the first decade of the 1900s.
The townsite was laid out in 1872 and a post office was established the following year. The town grew, roads were built, steam-powered stamp mills were constructed and things were going great. But when the gold production began to decline, so did the town and in the 1880s Lida was just a shadow of its former self.
When the nearby towns of Tonopah and Goldfield were having their excitement in the early 1900s, Lida experience another small boom and some 300 folks called the town home. A newspaper (the Lida Enterprise) even published here between April 14th of 1905 and October of 1906. The town prospered for a while but began to decline as a result of many of the richest mines being tied up with legal problems. The post office closed in December of 1918 and Lida slowly faded away.
I found Lida a very quiet place. There are still some residents in the area, I imagine most are ranchers. There are a number of old, abandoned buildings but as most of them seemed to be on private property, I didn't poke around too much. Maybe on the next trip I'll explore the area a bit more to see what I can find, I think it deserves another look.
Update: Revisited on October 8, 2015
Took a few more pictures
I was glad to see the old car was still there.
This small shack is located across the hwy from the old car.
This abandoned home is next to the old car.
There may be some addition things to photograph, maybe the next time I'm in the area I'll spot something I haven't seen before.

On Tuesday, January 31, President Donald Trump announced that he will nominate 10th Circuit Judge Neil Gorsuch to fill the Supreme Court seat left behind by the late Justice Antonin Scalia last February.
Judge Gorsuch was appointed to the 10th Circuit by President George W. Bush in 2006. Judge Gorsuch is a graduate of Columbia University, with honors, and Harvard Law School, with honors. Following law school, Judge Gorsuch completed his doctorate at the University of Oxford as a Marshall Scholar. Gorsuch will become the 6th Harvard Law graduate on the current Supreme Court. Justices Clarence Thomas and Sonia Sotomayor hail from Yale Law School, and Justice Anthony Kennedy, representing the west coast, is of Stanford Law School.
Judge Gorsuch has clerked for high-profile jurists, including Judge David Sentelle of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and with Justices Byron White and Anthony Kennedy of the Supreme Court of the United States.
If President Trump's test for his Supreme Court nomination was "like Scalia," Judge Gorsuch certainly fits the bill. Judge Gorsuch is considered by many to be a textualist interpreter of statutes and the Constitution; an advocate for clearly-written criminal laws; a skeptic of efforts to eliminate religious expression from public areas; and a staunch antagonist to the reliance on legislative history – all like Justice Scalia.
Judge Gorsuch faced stiff competition from 3rd Circuit Judge Thomas Hardiman. While Gorsuch has been considered a favorite for many months among the judicial and political pundits, Hardiman flew up the ranks in the last several weeks due to his no-frills writing style and consistent conservative philosophy. Judge Hardiman is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and Georgetown University Law Center, and happens to sit on the same bench as President Trump's elder sister, Judge Mary Trump Barry. Still considered a top candidate for a future Supreme Court vacancy, Hardiman would be the first Supreme Court justice holding a Juris Doctor from Georgetown Law. Justice Scalia (Georgetown College, 1957) and Justice Edward Douglass White (Georgetown College, 1863) are the only two Supreme Court justices with degrees from Georgetown University.
Judge Gorsuch is most-known for his position on religious liberty. For example, in Hobby Lobby, he wrote a concurrence emphasizing the need to recognize that the imposition of the Affordable Care Act to force companies to provide employees with contraception was a significant burden on their religious exercise and in violation of the Religious Freedom and Restoration Act. Likewise, in Little Sisters of the Poor, Gorsuch joined the group of dissenters on the basis of insufficient deference to the plaintiff's own religious beliefs.
Gorsuch does stray from Scalia in the field of administrative law. Justice Scalia was a proponent of Chevron Deference, which defers to an administrative agency's interpretation of a regulation that has not been directly spoken on by Congress, as long as the interpretation is reasonable. Judge Gorsuch, however, has been vocal about bringing an end to the practice of agency deference. In Gutierrez-Brizuela, Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion, and a concurrence to his own opinion, where he expressed his personal views on the practice, even stating that "[w]e managed to live with the administrative state before Chevron. We could do it again."
Aside from administrative law, Judge Gorsuch would appear to represent a continuation of the positions that Justice Scalia brought to the Court. Nearly 34 years younger than the eldest member of the Supreme Court, and if confirmed by the Senate, Gorsuch is expected to be a reliable conservative vote for many years to come.

CityReach gives young people from any denomination the opportunity to
learn first hand about homelessness in Boston from people who have
experienced it. Participants join CityReach staff in street ministry,
offering hospitality, food and clothing, followed by times of sharing
and reflection.
CityReach is an overnight urban outreach program begun in March 1996 for youth (with accompanying adults), young adults, and college students from churches of any denomination. The program gives these young people the opportunity to learn first hand about homelessness from people who have experienced it. During the 20 hour session, participants join CityReach staff in street ministry and offer hospitality, food and clothing. This is followed by times of sharing and reflection.
The program starts on Friday evening and ends on the following Saturday afternoon. Participants arrive at 7 p.m. Friday night, and are addressed by staff who are experiencing, or have experienced, homelessness. They walk through the city guided by members of common cathedral and end the evening with a simple worship service. Participants sleep at a local church. On Saturday morning participants offer clothing that they have collected and a simple meal to unhoused guests who come to "shop" for clothing from among the donated items. Participants form teams for street outreach, taking sandwiches and clothes to people at South Station, Copley Square, Boston's waterfront and other sites. All then eat lunch and reflect together about their experiences in light of the Gospel, write a prayer, and talk about next steps for them personally and/or as a group. Housed participants prepare to present their experiences to their home congregations.
CityReach, offered up to 8 times per academic year, is recommended for participants 14 years of age and older. For more information please read our informational packet or email email@example.com.

Nine months and a day old!
Yesterday got away from us mostly due to computer issues. So this isn't the timeliest of posts. Oh, well.
My little miracle isn't that little anymore. I can't believe she's nine months already! My pregnancy seemed to drag on forever (because I was so sick), but these nine months with Michaela have truly just flown by.
Growth: We will see the pediatrician later this week, so I'll update with some stats at that point. I am really eager to see how much she has grown in length and weight since we last went in during November. I can tell you that she's now wearing 12 months sized clothing. We have a few items of 9 months clothes that still work for her, but most things that weren't two-pieces were just too short for her torso anymore. Her shoe size still seems to be a 3, though, and she is still wearing a size 3 diaper.
Updated on February 23: At her appointment with the pediatrician, we learned that she is 28.25" long, and that she weighs 19.2 pounds. She is tall and thin. She's gained less than two pounds since her appointment in November, but she's grown 1.25 inches. Her length puts her in the 72nd percentile, and her weight in the 53rd.
Eating: Well, her enthusiasm for food seems to come and go. She really likes things she can feed herself, but she's not that coordinated about getting those morsels in her mouth. Much of it winds up in the seat of her highchair. She's usually very interested in what I'm eating, and she will almost always "beg" to be fed some of my food. That's fine with me! I offer her a taste of almost anything she shows interest in.
Sleeping: Michaela is a pretty good napper most days. It is typical for her morning and afternoon naps to be at least an hour in length, sometimes two. We're still cosleeping, and I am very content with that arrangement. I like having her in bed with me. On the weekends, it's nice to sleep in a little bit later and see her wake up with a smile on her sweet face. That really reminds me of her daddy. He almost always woke up with a smile for me. How I miss that!
Other developments:
Michaela's top front teeth are making their way down. I'd estimate them at about 1/4 of the way emerged. Long before they were visible, she was grinding her bottom teeth with the top ones. It really gave me the heebie-jeebies!
Michaela pulls up on furniture, and she will stand for long periods of time. She likes to pull up at our living room window sill and watch the world go by. When she's done with that, she expresses her frustration, and I help her get down. She needs to learn how to sit down from a standing position. There are times when she doesn't wait for me, or I'm around the corner and she falls. Those are terrible moments that usually end in tears. I just swoop in as quickly as I can and hold her until she feels better. She's usually just scared, but we do have hardwood floors and I know she's clonked her head a few times. Gives me major mommy guilt.
She's vocalizing so much! In the past month she's started saying "mama" and "baba". Just last week, she clearly said "bye-bye" as I buckled her into her carseat, and she waved goodbye. Too cute!
Everyone who cares for her here at the house takes the time to point to the pictures of Daddy and Mommy that are around the house and on our fridge. A few days ago, we were reviewing the pictures on the fridge, and I asked her where Daddy is. She pointed right to a picture of him! I just hugged her so tight. It was a very touching moment.
I guess the last thing I'll mention here tonight, is that we took our first trip to Disneyland last Monday. Michael's mom retired from Disneyland, and therefore she has a lifetime pass to the park. My mom and my sister joined us for an afternoon of fun together. One of the things we took her to was Tiki Room, and she was so interested in singing birdies. We actually sat under one of the main characters in the show named "Michael". I am aware of little things like this all the time. I don't know what those in Heaven see or know about those of us here on Earth exactly, but there are times when I really feel like the Lord wants me to know that Michael knows what's up with us.
So, there you have it! Nine months! I'm already starting to think about her first birthday party. Yikes!!!

How Do I Ensure My Daughter with Special Needs Has Secured Housing For Life?
Alexis asks: "How do I best make arrangements for the physical care (housing, etc.) of my daughter when I am no longer around?"
Alexis, thank you for your question. This is a concern that we hear from every family we meet. It is truly at the core of planning for your daughter's future. I recommend you work through a series of steps in securing your daughter's future:
- Investigate organizations in your area that provide housing for individuals with autism and schedule a time to meet with them. Depending on your daughter's abilities, there will likely be a number of options including Independent Living Apartments with supervision, Group Home, AFL (Alternative Family Living), and, depending on your family situation, some organizations will work with you on customizing a housing option for your daughter.
- Once you have determined the options in your area, now it is time to determine the financial cost to those options. It is very common that a majority of the cost will be covered by government benefits such as SSI (Supplemental Security Income) and Medicaid; however, those programs do not cover all the costs. It is important to understand the amount of money you will need to leave your daughter in order for her to have the life you want her to have when you are no longer here.
- Decide on how you will fund your daughter's needs.
- Use existing assets you currently have
- At your death, leave all your assets to your daughter (but do not leave them to her directly or she will forfeit SSI and Medicaid if those assets total more than $2,000)
- Buy life insurance with a death benefit that equals the amount your daughter will need
- Set up a Special Needs Trust
- This is a legal tool that must be written by a qualified Special Needs Attorney
- You can leave your assets and life insurance to this Special Needs Trust which will be used for your daughter's benefit, but it will protect her continued qualification for SSI and Medicaid
- Communicate Your Plan
- It is important that you communicate your plans with extended family members and friends so that all people who are involved in your daughter's life are informed. By doing this, you are ensuring that all people who care about your daughter are reading from the same page, and that your wishes for your daughter will be carried out appropriately.
We do recommend that you find professionals to help you in creating your plan and in carrying it out. Due to the complexity of government benefits, taxes, and legal issues there are many pitfalls that you will want to avoid, and a qualified guide can help you do just that. Please visit our website to download our Complimentary Guidebook on Special Needs Planning, which also includes Interview Questions that you can use to find a qualified professional.
For more information on how to prepare for the future, be sure to contact a financial advisor who specializes in serving families with special needs. A Special Needs Plan is driven by what they call Unleash L.I.F.E.™- L.I.F.E. meaning Lasting Independence For Everyone™. This is accomplished with education, action, and support in the creation, implementation, and continued monitoring of a specifically designed lifelong and integrated plan for your family: parents, caregivers, your loved one with special needs and their siblings.

That idea has had a profound impact on me, and I now always prepare a talk thinking about what would I want people to remember a week later. And more importantly, what would they have used. Think about the last time you saw someone speak … and now think about what you remembered from that, and what you have used. Scary, huh?
My current speaking mentor, Matt Church, says something remarkable similar - You don't matter, they don't care and nobody's listening. (And he calls himself a motivational speaker!)
If we want to have an impact we have to understand what we are speaking into – an audience with a million things already going on, and already experiencing information overload. To get through that, and to make a difference, takes something special.
Matt taught me that to do that, and to be a world class presenter is about great content and great delivery.
If you are a thought leader, or a leader within an organisation, speaking is just part of the job. May as well make it effective, and shoot for world class.
Love to hear your thoughts – how do you go about speaking for effect? You can leave them below.

The Turkish government has expropriated six churches in city of Diyarbakir, followed by a declaration that these church properties are henceforth state' property. These six churches were the last churches under the administration of Diyarbakir' Christians, rest of them have already been seized by the government. The churches which have been seized are properties of Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox denominations while a historic 1700-year-old church is also amongst the list of the churches seized by the government.
Diyarbakır is one of the largest cities in south-eastern Turkey. The war-torn city, situated on the banks of the Tigris River, has seen expropriation of churches previously as well. The orders for these six churches to be expropriated came on March 25, and were issued by the Erdoğan's council of ministers.
According to the World Watch Monitor, the Turkish President- Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his administration initiated a drive to expropriate sections of property throughout Diyarbakir; stating that the state will take over the property and remodel and renovate the historical sites of the city.

Diyarbakir is a historic hub of Christianity, as it once thrived with Christian population. Popular historian Osman Koker notes in "Armenians in Turkey 100 Years Ago" that prior to 1915, "Some 10,000 of 35,000 inhabitants of Diyarbakir were Armenians. Half of the members of the town council and a significant portion of the members of the provincial council were Christian, notably Armenians. Nearly all of the lawyers, physicians and pharmacists of Diyarbakir were Christians, and the majority of them were Armenians." Diyarbakir has been battered by conflict between Turkish armed forces and the the Kurdish Workers' Party.
All through out the last year, the Assyrians, Armenians, Chaldeans and Turkish Christians were not able to enter their churches because of the ongoing conflict in the city. However, in the face of the fact that they have not been able to go to their churches, the Turkish government's decisions to seize the church properties has given rise to an indignation among the Armenian, Syriac and Chaldean Christians communities. As a result of the indignation, few church related organisations have decided to legally challenge the government' decision.
Ahmet Guvener- pastor of Diyarbakir Protestant Church is of the opinion that the government is expropriating the churches with the lone intention of taking control of the property and not the renovation purposes. "The government didn't take over these pieces of property in order to protect them. They did so to acquire them."

Nascash Slot Game Review
Nascash video slot is a five reel, non-progressive game with 25 pay lines. It comes with features which include a wild symbol, multipliers, free spins, scatter symbol and a $10,000 value jackpot.
This game can be played in the free demo mode or the real cash mode, offering the option for you to switch between the two at any time.
Nascash Free slot features
As the name suggest, the game theme is based on Nascar, lucrative and high octane sports. Nascash slot machine game starts with a set of cars going around a track, featuring some breaks which give quick details about the slots features.
When the slots load up, a few of the same cars and the speedway track will be visible in the background.
Just like Nascar sports, the music in the background is energetic and loud, but it is easy to listen and can be switched off easily if you want. You will hear a wheel screeching sound whenever the red car awards a prize with the details reflecting different animated graphics.
The reel icons include TV interviewers, drivers, a female presenter, hot dogs, trophies, drinks, crash helmets, caps, oil, wheel guns, fire extinguishers, tires and red muscle cars.
The wild symbol is an animated driver that can substitute other icons, besides the racing car scatter, to complete a winning combination.
Five, four or three racing car scatters award overdrive, slingshot or night ride features with each of them offering varying multipliers and free spins. Five icons will award x2 multiplier along with 15 of the night ride free spins; four icons will award 6 overdrive free spins along with a x4 multiplier initially and three icons will award 3 slingshot free spins with x3 multipliers.
Note that all the scatter wins will be multiplied by your overall stake and you cannot retrigger the free spins.
Nascar is a popular spot and anyone who is a fan will enjoy playing this game. You will love the cartoon design that is appealing to those who are not motor sport fans, especially if you want a unique slot game experience. Check out the Nascash Free Slots to get started!

Andalusia has long been a melting pot for varied musical traditions from across the Mediterranean. Flamenco's roots are attributed to Arabic and Indian sources, fashioned by Gypsy musicians into songs reflecting their poverty and oppression , later popularised in the cafés cantantes 'singing cabarets' of Seville, Cadiz and Malaga. Gifted flamenco guitarist Emilio Maya began his professional career at age 12 and in 1990 began to perform as a solo guitarist and formed his own group. He was influenced by the great Paco de Lucia and Enrique Morente.

When I talk about my math classroom, I always cross post to facebook because my audience on facebook is quite different than twitter. That is where my former students are and when I post there, they get to relive our classroom too. At times, they will even comment…suggesting that I return back to school. On occasion, they talk about the lack of caring of some of their teachers. When that happens, there is almost always a fallout of sorts as well as an explanation of the "back ended" things of EDU by other teachers.
When I read those "but…but…but" statements from teachers, I am always reminded about the quote above that my mother says often and also about Disney World.
Disney World is such a magical place, but there is also a "behind the scenes", the dusty crates, tools, characters out of costume…etc. No one gets to see the "behind the scenes part". Yet…we know that it is there. It has to be.
We know that in EDU, so many problems take away from the great things that happen in classrooms. We have test that we have to give. We have meetings to attend and that includes meetings to plan other meetings. We have accommodations, interventions, mandates and all types of acronyms that defy all logic but we have something else that has to come before that…STUDENTS.
When a student feels that their teachers do not care, we can't explain it or "teacher-splain" it away with…"I had meetings, madates, a test, interventions, no paper, blah blah blah…" We have to listen and we have to adjust. I'm not saying that we have to hide our laundry because it's there whether we like it or not. However, a student should NEVER feel that their teacher does not care and we should never explain our actions by telling them about "the things that cause us not to care".
The thing that we have to do is be open to how kids feel. What students should feel is cared for, motivated, challenged and supported. They should feel that they have a choice in becoming whoever it is that they become. We cannot get upset when they do not feel those things. We cannot go into "explain mode" when they do not feel that we care. What we have to do is look at ourselves and change our approach in order to address how they feel.
Personally, I am more concerned with this reply…
I know they do (teachers care) but sometimes it really just doesn't seem like it. And I'm so glad that this is my last year, I'm ready for a broader horizon and I'll get to choose what I do and where my next step will be. I will finally be able to become the person that I wanna be!
Maybe I am missing something…but shouldn't the things that this student wants be the purpose of schooling to begin with?
Also, see the video of the late great Dr. Rita Pierson if there is any doubt…

Chasing Light
It hadn't been long since our last Cloud Chase in the Lake District, well, kinda. It seemed like a little bite of forever waiting for our time in the hills again, so much so that Google Chrome has placed the Right Move of rurality - UK Land and Farms as one of my quick links. Each day I can't help but pursue the latest tumble down cottage lakeside with mountains (and climbing) in one of the 5+ acres of forest within the budget of a second city one bed loft apartment, okay I've saved my preferences, and added notifications. You never know, by my next post I might just be flailing an axe at trees before crawling into a glorified shed with a tep device.
Then, with the pressure systems changing, the clouds rapidly alternated between sunshine and downpours, but that didn't stop us.
We startled a field of disgruntled Rams, and my gosh, did that stop us.
Like the Abyssinian Warthog situation of October, we ran, squealing.
Once an appropriately sized wall had been placed between us, that didn't stop us.
A quick reroute and we were back on pace.
The ascent was tough. It was pretty much 900m with the wind baring down, pulling my steps in all directions.
The windchill made the air so much more crisp. We had layered technically and my little beanie made all the difference. The company was pretty good too!
The whole location was beautiful, the changes in weather and dramatic gales made the reward of our walk so much more.
Upon making it down from the 950m peak, I felt so grateful for Goretex. At the start of the ascent I was in two minds about my gloves, thinking Goretex might be an overkill. It wasn't overkill, it was perfect, and kept me comfortable.
Until last year if I had the choice between waterproof trousers or drenched leggings, I'd have taken the leggings anyday. That was until a bit of a lightning storm walking situation, where the terrain was a bit too exposed to take the risk of chill.
I put these summit series salopettes on, and all of a sudden, it was like the stars aligned. The braces kept my back warm and dry, and they didn't feel bulky, instead fitted.
Taking the gear off, I leant on a birch tree.
The beauty of the moss and the symbiotic relationship of the tree overwhelmed me for a moment. I couldn't help but feel a sense of oneness with my surroundings.
Evidently, I spent too long starring at the tree and forgot about the whole precipitation thing. I was drenched, my bobble hat somehow absorbed what much have been a few cubic metres of water - give or take a few. So we jumped into the car, put a soundtrack on, and tested my tight suspension on the awesome tight corners of a pretty spectacular little corner of the world.
Right, I've just got an email through about a rural cabin in disrepair, better order that Tep...

Friday Favs 5/20/16
A few of my favorite new submissions this week.
We do rag on bakers quite a bit over here, so I say, every now and then, why not throw them a bone?
Apparently he's a communal NO I CAN'T SAY IT.
That is exactly what the customer asked for, btw, and let me tell you, Bridgett-the-baker was very happy to see this order form:
So thank you, friends of Dick, for making one baker's duty fun again.
Also I just giggled like a 10-year-old through that entire sentence.
Here's a multi-eyed blob fish saying "WOW":
Or maaaaybe a melting pink... purse?... saying MOM.
I say we stick with the blobfish.
Now it's time for The More You Know! 'Cuz I'm bringing that back, y'all.
Ahem hem hem.
"Bonne féte" is French for "happy birthday."
"Bun Fight" is... not.
Speaking of things I kinda sorta know but not really, it looks like Game of Thrones is back on:
Clearly this was made by a baker who knows as much as Jon Snow.
(Right? Does that joke work? Keep it together, Jen, no one can tell you don't watch GoT. You got this. Just smile knowingly and quickly change the subjec...DANGIT I TYPED MY THOUGHTS OUT LOUD AGAIN.)
And finally, the silent game of workmanship that just keeps on giving:
Who knew they constructed their invisible boxes out of actual logs?
Thanks to Bridgett B., Anony M., Louise C., Melanie B., & Judi S. for finally finding an age-appropriate wreck for minors.
Thank you for using our Amazon links to shop! USA, UK, Canada.
