Now and then when I run into old friends they say "do you still have that blog?" Yes, I do. The house is still not done. We've been busy parenting, among other things. Who knew 7th grade would have me trolling the internet late at night looking up videos on how to solve math problems instead of caulking and painting? Oh, and last Saturday, instead of caulking and painting we drove to Rhode Island to buy this swell couch we saw in a consignment shop this summer. The items are marked down every two months so we saved alot by waiting. Or so I thought. We weren't 1 hour outside Albany when the muffler fell off our truck and started dragging on the highway. I pulled over, shimmied under the truck, bunge corded the muffler against the frame and off we went. It was loud and we had to look at each other to hear but we were saving money. Then I got a very expensive speeding ticket as I tried to get some momentum before going up a big hill. So between the new muffler and the speeding ticket I'd say we about broke even with the original price of the couch plus delivery. And then we've been busy with the dog. We finally bought some doggie diapers (yes, there is such a thing) and it would seem like just leaving them on the counter in full view has caused a weak bladder to suddenly rectify itself. That's right, mister, we got your number. And then there's the full time job, part time Mayor job – all that seem to come before finishing the house. So yes, keep checking back. There's plenty more that needs to get done.
The prep work is always the worst part of any project and this project is no exception. Just when I thought we were ready to start I realized that we weren't. The timing on this project needs to be exact because the weather is starting to be iffy. We're fixing the driveway, adding some edging to create a line between the driveway and the yard and adding walkways to both front doors.
Here's the plan:
1. Order the driveway edging material and have it delivered. We're doing about 100′ of edging using 16 inch pieces of some kind of roughed up cap that we'll sink into the ground.
2. Order the walkway material. We had no problem finding what we wanted to use but then our neighbor reminded us that we probably wanted to stagger the pattern and I wasn't sure how to do that. My partner who can't help with 7th grade math scratched out the perfect pattern on a piece of paper with all the sizes to fit in the pattern. It's about 150 sq. ft walkway and we're using 24″ x 24″ pieces of fake bluestone. Anyway, it took me hours to sketch the space and sizes and I probably visited 20 websites that try and help you calculate your pattern and then he just grabbed my drawing and made it all work. Phew!
3. Rent a mini excavator
4. Order some driveway rock, stone dust for the walkways, landscape fabric and that's it.
Now we're ready.
Here's a before an after of the Porte Cochere finally painted. The prep on this was a killer and my one shoulder still aches from painting over my head for some many hours. I sanded, cleaned, put 3 coats of shellac over the knots, caulked, did some hand sanding, used the red Bin for primer (very messy) and then two coats of paint. It looks really good.

Today's suggestion is that you invite a teacher from another school to visit your school, and to try to arrange a visit to another school. Doug Woods suggested this back on Day 4 ('Get out and about') when he said:
I'd suggest walking around other schools to get a view of how they approach things. And also invite other teachers from other schools to visit yours and ask for their impressions.
There is no right and wrong about any of this, but the reason that I have deferred this until now is that I think you get more out of visits if you have done a lot of groundwork first, as I explain below.
Purpose of the visits
There are several good reasons to arrange such visits, for example:
- To help you see your ed tech provision through the eyes of a disinterested third party (note that I said DISinterested, not UNinterested). People tend to see things they want to see, and to get used to the things that perhaps are not quite right. Someone from outside, with no axe to grind, can ask the awkward questions like, "But why do you do it like THAT?", and to share their own experience with you.
- Visiting other schools can give you ideas. When I was involved in ICT inspections, on one or two occasions I suggested that the Head of e-Learning visit a few schools to see what was going on 'out there'. Without that injection of fresh ideas, it is really easy to become a bit stale.
- If you're thinking of investing in a particular type of network, or software, a visit by and to someone who has already done so can be invaluable in helping you avoid some of their mistakes.
- On a longer-term basis, it is often a good idea to forge 'vertical' links, ie with the schools that your pupils are coming from or going on to.
Who should you visit or invite?
If you're in the UK, it's easy to find schools worth a visit in your area. To find out which schools have been accredited with the ICT Mark, or even those which have committed themselves to going down that road, the Next Generation website is very good.
You can also go to the Becta ICT Mark site, but in my opinion that is not as good because it has only ICT Mark schools, not ones which have committed themselves to the Next Generation Charter (as it's called).
For a less 'official' list of schools, go to the SSAT's ICT Register — but bear in mind that schools nominate themselves as being worthy of inclusion on the Register.
You could also ask your Local Authority advisor (if there is one) or your School Improvement Officer.
You might also trawl through the Ofsted reports for schools in which ICT received a good mention, but as ICT is not always specifically mentioned the reports of good schools in that respect may be a few years old now.
Companies can also recommend schools. For example, an interactive whiteboard company will be able to recommend exemplar schools, ie ones which have done great things with that product. In a sense, that narrows the focus somewhat, but in my experience, and from the reading I've done and conversations I've had, doing great things as a whole school in one particular area is usually indicative of a much deeper and broader level of engagement with change management processes and that sort of thing. In other words, it would be highly unlikely, I think, to find a school that was working wonders in its use of interactive whiteboards throughout the school, but which was pretty awful in every other use of educational technology.
Also, if you attend conferences or training days, get chatting to people and, if feasible, contact them subsequently to arrange reciprocal visits.
It doesn't have to be another school. It could be a college or even a company. It all depends on what you're mainly hoping to gain from the exercise.
Getting the most out of visits
If you have invited someone to visit your school, I would suggest asking them to do what you did on Day 4, ie walk about and gain a general impression of what's going on. Unless, of course, you'd like their opinion on a particular thing the school has been doing.
When visiting other schools I think you gain much more from it by doing even a small amount of research. What was their last inspection report like (if you're in the UK)? Are they on the ICT Register, or have they achieved the ICT Mark? What does their website tell you.
For me, part of the research is being done whilst you're attending to your own affairs, which is why I am suggesting visits now rather than on Day 4. I think it's important to have have done some deep thinking first, so that you can ask relevant questions or look for particular aspects at the time: nothing is more frustrating than wishing you'd asked to look at a particular thing when it's too late.
Your task for today
So your task for today is not to visit a school, obviously, as you can't do that in 15 minutes, but to think about what you'd like to get out of a visit to another school, or from someone else visiting your schol. Then have a think about whom to approach.
If you lead a team of ICT teachers, put this topic on the agenda for your next team meeting. Perhaps your colleagues can suggest schools to visit or teachers to invite, and why. If they are nervous about the idea of having visitors, try to explore why. Why is it that they are not 100% confident in what the school is doing in that regard, and what can be done about it?
You can see that even if the discussion results in a decision to not invite others in, that in itself can provide a rich source of data about what needs to be addressed and prioritised as far as educational technology in your school is concerned.

Community Development
At Christ Church, we desire to be a church that does not simply exist inside Memphis, but to be a church that is for Memphis.

Open Table Church
When people hear "Minimalist Website" the first thing to come to mind is one from the 90's.
Before a new website build begins, the first thing needed is to define its purpose. One can get carried away in all of the things they want their website to be one day, especially if your business is young or going through a re-branding. Something I always stress to my clients is; if you have a solid foundation you can add on. Developing a website for growth, with great organization and a simple navigation is an excellent beginning to website development.
Open Table Church has been meeting for several years at the Civic Center in the heart of Walnut Creek. Their congregation is made up of locals who want to know more about Jesus and are looking to connect with their community. The website needed to reflect that by being easy to navigate, have messages and events easily accessible.
Pro Tip: Are you looking to save some money on web development? Having a website structure, copy and photography in place before you approach a developer will significantly decrease your cost and provide a clear vision for your contractor.
If you already have a website in place, this might be rather easy for you!
The second purpose of their website was to be found by people in the community. Even from the home page it is evident that new-comers are more than welcome, and there is a little bit of something for everyone. Quick, index style pages allow the mobile traffic (making up more than 60% of most websites traffic) get to the information that they need.
Working with this team was a breeze! I love helping non-profits grow and connect their dreams with their community. Need a hand? Drop me a line.

At Corona Superior Medicine, we are dedicated to providing a level of care that is both what you deserve and what we can be proud of. Our diverse and evolving array of services is geared toward providing our patients with a life that is pain free, active, and happy. We can provide results like these to you, too but first we have a few questions:
Do you experience back pain, neck pain, or other bodily stress?
Do you experience shooting pains, dull aches, or debilitating discomfort in your back, hips, or upper legs? Do you feel as though your neck is strained at all times or sore too often? Are you limited in your range of motion along your spine? If these descriptors are true of you, it is high time that you embrace chiropractic care! Our chiropractic experts will examine your spine, assess damage due to injury, posture imperfections, genetic disease, or other misalignment and then provide treatment. Chiropractic care is a safe alternative to narcotic medications, steroid injections, and even surgery.
One primary recourse for chiropractic patients is spinal decompression. Oftentimes, issues like sciatica and disc pain come from a compressed spine. Compression on the nerves causes not only severe pain but also tingling, numbness, burning sensations, and other nerve-related discomforts. Decompression is painless, safe, and not only solves the problem but helps to prevent its return.
For anyone experiencing body pains or physiological responses to stress – including women who are pregnant – we recommend massage therapy. The benefits of massage therapy are vast and the experience itself is rejuvenating, comforting, and destressing. Not only does a nice massage feel like a luxury after working, handling responsibilities and home, and doing whatever else you do – but it is also good for your insides, too. Massage stimulates muscle regrowth, refreshes your skin and musculature at the cellular level, releases feel-good hormones such as Seratonin, and can treat pain and prevent future problems. A relaxed body responds more healthily to injury or strain and a relaxed mind is good for sleep and happiness.
Are you experiencing allergy symptoms?
Are you sneezing all of the time, or experiencing a runny or stuffed up nose? Do you have sinus headaches right in the front center of your forehead, at your third eye? Do you have itchy, watery, or red eyes? Are you fatigued? Have you experiencing these symptoms as well as shortness of breath, chest pains, or skin irritations after eating certain foods or experiencing other atmospheric stimulants? You may be an allergy sufferer! We offer allergy testing in our office. This will help you to determine whether the symptoms you are feeling are caused by allergies or something else.
We also offer several different ways of testing. Just ask about our diagnostic testing!
Do you have knee pain or other joint pain?
If you are experiencing pain in your knee, come in for a knee joint evaluation. We will thoroughly investigate the range of motion in your afflicted knee(s) and make determinations about potential causality of your pain, stiffness, or immobility. Many people, especially those who are over 55 and those who have sustained knee injuries, feel as though they are stuck with the limitations in their knee joints and this simply is not the case. Allow us to examine your knee, consult with you about the severity of your pain and the effects of various movements or actions, and come to better understand your needs. Once we do, we can provide a care plan catered to restoring the health of your knee joints and preventing further issues.
Do you experience pain in other joints such as your shoulders, elbows, wrists, or ankles? For any joint pain throughout your body, we offer many therapies that will reintroduce range of motion, eliminate pain, and provide a more supple longevity to your joints. In addition to chiropractic care and massage which can be supportive to joint health, we also offer stem cell therapy. This type of therapy provides your joints with the hydration and nutrients they need to regrow life-giving, youthful cells and function as never before! Administering stem cell therapy is a simple experience for the patient, but is an advanced technique that many offices do not provide. We're proud to offer this solution to pain and have healed many patients this way. The best part about stem cell therapy is that it is preventative as well as curative.
Would you like to lose weight or change your diet?
We all have a goal weight and an intention to look good, feel good, and stay healthy. While your appearance and confidence are important, we also know that there is an ideal range of weight for our health as well. Some of us are above or below our goal weights but regardless of what you hope to achieve appearance-wise, weight management is an essential part of your health. We offer medical weight loss advisement in our office because we know that on your path to a healthy, strong body extra pounds can become an obstacle, if not a danger. Weight fluctuations can come from hormonal, atmospheric, nutritional, and lifestyle causes and because we believe in whole-body health, we are prepared to help you address each one and redefine the real you!
How's your diet? Regardless of weight, your diet means everything to the functionality of every body system you have. Whether you have had digestive discomforts or dysfunctions, muscle weakness, brittle bones, joint pain, energy deficiencies, or even skin and hair impurities – diet is largely to blame. Fortunately, there are solutions to this! There is not just one right or wrong way to eat – there is no definitive list of good and bad foods. Some foods are obviously not the best choice for any person, but for the most part we are each unique – our tastes and lifestyles as well as our body processes simply differ. This is why we offer nutrition counseling for our patients so that poor diet choices (even those we don't know we're making!) are not a hindrance to health!
We offer many other services as well!
Our practice is multidimensional. We treat your ailments and conditions with the approach that's right for you! For some, acupuncture is the best course of treatment. For others, physical therapy is a safe and reliable way to restore one's body after an injury or accident.

Lesson One - Jaslynn P./
My very first memory of cloth or fabric would be the old worn down brown and white demask print fabric from my childhood couch. I loved that fancy silk print that seemed to flicker between light and dark colors depending on where you stood. The slight wear and tear of the fabric added even more originality to its character. Some areas were so worn that I could see through to the bright orange foam under the grid stitching. This couch with its unforgettable fabric wasn't just a couch, it was pure magic for a imaginative five year old little girl. This couch was my spaceship, my time machine and my magic carpet ride. There was endless possibilities of wild imagination and extreme fun for me, maybe even an escape. I remember that I always had to find my own fun as a child and believe me I found it! The fabric was always cool to the touch and so smooth like cream. I would literally roll from one side to the other and pretend I was swimming in the deep ocean with sea lions or whatever stuffed animal that was my playmate for the day. Large brown demask print was the coolest design I had ever seen before. The brown velvet prints felt like a little fuzzy pet that could change tones against certain lighting. Giant flaps at the bottom of the couch added the perfect touch for hiding my secret treasures of the day. Whether the treasures would be leafs, robin egg shells, or rocks that I found outside sure enough they would soon be hidden under my couch. My favorite thing to do was to pull those huge cushions off and prop those babies up into a hut so that I could run as fast as I could and jump onto them like floating clouds that I was chasing. As I think back even deeper, I remember playing on the couch during the hot summer days and the warm breeze blowing in from the open windows, the coolness of the silky fabric on my skin made me feel comforted and calm and is still ingrained in my memory as a good feeling.
This couch is my first memory of fabric because it was a very cool and unique piece of material in comparison to anything else I ever had seen at the point in my young life. The creative fabric inspired me to engage with its versatility and explore. I could identify with everything about it. It was definitely a great sensory tool for a five year old child that had to use her imagination for entertainment.
I realized during this assignment that I recently bought two huge pillows that reminds me a lot of the fabric that was on the old couch growing up. And I still absolutely love demask print and material to this day.

When it comes to young people doing what they love we often send mixed messages that can be confusing. On one hand we have our commencement speakers and graduation cards filled with inspirational messages telling young people to go after their dreams. Yet on the other hand, when the graduation bash is over and reality has set in, we tell young people to do whatever they can to get a job. We are trying to be helpful, but we nudge them towards the first employer that offers a paycheck and job security. This is a problem. Young people have the best possible environment and circumstances (most of the time) to take risks, big risks! Someone in my life that has always lived life to the fullest and is living proof that taking risks can end well, is my friend Nina Duong.
Nina grew up in Texas, and attended University of North Texas. When she enrolled in college she also enlisted in the army as a means to pay for college. Her college experience included all the great times in and out of the classroom like many other students, but it also included a tour of duty in Iraq. When she returned from Iraq she took on more responsibility in the residence life department in a new position they created for her. She loved her experience as a student leader and had incredible mentors at UNT, and so she decided she would go into Student Affairs. Which sets us up for Nina's first (of many) leaps of faith.
Nina had been doing a lot of research on graduate schools and had a list of about 4 schools that she was going to apply to. On the day she needed to submit her list of schools to receive her GRE test scores, she says she vividly remembers working in the residence life office that day. She received 3 different calls from either students or parents from NJ. She took it as a sign, looked up which student affairs grad program was in NJ, saw Rutgers had a program and added it as her 5th and final choice on her list.
Nina is pretty amazing so, many graduate programs were recruiting her. When she came to Rutgers she interviewed for a graduate position with my wife Courtney. The position was brand new, so Nina had to decide on the position based solely on the interview and a belief that this would work out. After falling in love with the faculty, and an instant connection with Courtney she took another leap of faith. She turned down some pretty killer offers at other programs and packed her bags for New Jersey!
When Nina arrived, Courtney convinced her to play on the softball team. I can still remember the first game of the summer before Nina arrived at the field Courtney was telling me and some friends, "I invited my new grad to play. She says she is terrible at softball but she is an Iraqi war veteran how could she possibly be bad at softball?" Nina was AWFUL at softball, but she brought the same excitement and enthusiasm that she brought with her to New Jersey onto the softball field. She came to every game, gave it all she got, and when our team made it to the championship she gave one of the best pep talks I have ever heard in my entire life.
Nina could have easily said, "why would I apply to Rutgers, I know nothing about that program?" Or, "why would I take a new position in a brand new grad program when I can go into an existing position at a grad program with a long standing tradition?" Or, "why would I play softball if I am terrible?!" But, Nina doesn't second-guess things, she just goes for it.
The best example of this has come to fruition in the last year since she graduated from her masters program. When Nina graduated she had one of the best resumes of any grad looking for jobs that same year. She had residence life experience, leadership and training experience, she is a veteran, and she had experience with the multicultural offices on campus. Her resume was incredible, perhaps better than some folks that have been in the field a few years. Much like she was in high demand for graduate programs, Nina could have easily had her pick of jobs when she graduated with her masters in student affairs. But, Nina had a big idea and she had to go after it. After one night out with her friends Nina came up with an ingenious idea for packaging cosmetics. I am no expert in this area, but Courtney and her mom tell me it's a really good idea. One of those, "why didn't I think of that?!" type of ideas. Nina also possessed an entrepreneurial spirit and felt like if she was going to make this idea happen she had to do it now. First, she took some of the money she earned from her service in the war and traveled the world. She knew these experiences would help to not only clear her head and prepare her for this new entrepreneurial endeavor, but again she thought, "when else will I have the opportunity to travel like this?" When she returned she got right to work on her idea. She now works part-time for Apple as a means to pay the bills, but spends the rest of her time working on her new business idea.
Nina can always dust off her student affairs resume. There are folks that would love to have Nina join their team, and if/when she's ready to work in higher education they will be lined up with opportunities for her. But, Nina is young, and so she is using her twenties to travel, learn more about herself and the world, and she's taking the plunge on a bright idea.
What they have taught me:
Nina has taught me to trust my gut. She has this unbreakable belief that things happen for a reason. She has taught me to find the silver lining in things and to take more risks. She also serves as an amazing example when I am working with young professionals that need to hear it's ok to take risks. I will often tell them about Nina as a way to encourage them to push outside their comfort zone and find something they love to do.
How they have inspired me:
I can't spoil the ending just yet, but let's just say that day 30 I will be announcing some big news for The Niche Movement. Nina has inspired me to take big leaps of faith and trust the process. If you are a good person and you work hard, you will come out the other end ok. The ride may be a little bumpy and may take some twists and turns you don't anticipate, but at the end of the day you will make it. When I think of Nina I am reminded of this, and I can't help but be inspired to do what I love.
Take risks. You are only young once in your life. When you have a mortgage and a family and more bills to pay it becomes harder and harder to take risks. Trust your gut, and go for the job that fulfills you and not just your bank account. You will gain incredible insight, perspective and life experiences from the risks you take in your twenties and thirties that will set you up for success later in life. Remember this, sometimes it is more dangerous to be cautious. Not all career paths look alike. Look at Nina's path, it's completely unconventional. Maybe you're first step is doing some volunteering or working abroad. Look for a variety of different opportunities, not just the ones on your university's career search site. And if you need a good pep talk, send Nina a tweet her handle is @sillybanina.

The car industry may be all atwitter with talk of plug-in cars and hybrid engines. But there was a cold, hard assessment on the ongoing dominance of petrol today from Bob Lutz, the veteran vice-chairman for product design at General Motors.
Lutz, a top lieutenant to GM's chairman Ed Whitacre, predicted that more than 90% of the automotive industry's sales will continue to be petrol-driven vehicles for at least another decade - because the vast majority of motorists simply will not pay extra for the more expensive technology of eco-friendly cars.
"For the next ten years or so, we're going to be heavily dependant on the internal combustion engine," Lutz told a group of reporters, including The Guardian, at the Detroit motor show. "It's going to be years and years before [alternatively powered vehicles] even make up 10% of the US market."
Unless the cost of fuel at the pump rockets, Lutz said the cost of cars such as GM's own widely hyped Chevrolet Volt, which can generate its own electricity on the go, are simply going to be too high to snatch significant market share.
The problem, he argues, is straightforward economics - parts and components for electric vehicles are not being manufactured in sufficient volumes to make them competitive. If a manufacturer set out today to invent the internal combustion engine, Lutz said petrol-powered cars would initally cost "$200,000 each" because of a lack of large-scale factories to make, say, piston shafts.
"Other than the 5% of the public who will willingly make a sacrifice to buy green vehicles, the other 95% will ask 'what am I getting? What's the deal?'" said Lutz. "They're not going to spend an extra $5,000 to $6,000 on technology they don't need and don't particularly care about."
A 77-year-old industry authority who was a top figure at Chrysler during the 1990s, Lutz has never been one to hide his opinions - two years ago, he caused a raising of collective eyebrows by describing global warming as "a total crock of shit".
His views have since mellowed slightly - and curiously, he has some sympathy for a graduated tax on petrol to encourage the shift towards greener motoring. Although he stopped short of endorsing such a policy, he said a government commitment to increase fuel tax by, say, 25 cents per gallon annually, would create visibility both for consumers and carmakers.
"It would have the benefit of giving automobile companies a planning base and of giving families who own a vehicle a planning base," said Lutz, suggesting that carbuying couples might say "look, sweetheart, we'd better go one size down because we know what fuel prices are going to do".
That's a considerably more radical suggestion than the Democratic speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, is willing to countenance. Visiting the Detroit show, Pelosi waxed lyrical about using "the soil, the wind and the sun" as fuel, adding that green technology was "a moral issue if you believe, as we do, that this planet is God's creation".
But when asked about the possibility of raising petrol taxes, she was blunt: "There certainly is an advocacy for such a position. But it certainly doesn't have a majority in the United States Congress at this time."
Incidentally, there are those who feel that America's leading carmakers were short-sighted in the run-up to the global economic crisis in concentrating too hard on gas-guzzling trucks and sports utility vehicles, rather than moving faster towards smaller vehicles. Lutz, who is the top four executives at America's biggest carmaker, isn't having anything of it, pointing out that nobody anticipated the volatility of fuel prices over the past two years - and that the gestation period of a new model of car is at least 36 months.
"People say 'those dumb Detroit companies just didn't get it - they just kept building trucks as oil prices rose'," said Lutz. "Some of your colleagues think designing and producing new cars is like putting the evening's edition together and then printing it the next day."

International Center for Human Development (ICHD) in partnership with the Stichting Save the Children Nederland (STC Netherlands), Armavir Development Centre (ADC), Martuni Women's Community Council (MWCC) and Save the Children (STC) International is implementing the project "Combating Gender-Biased Sex Selection in Armenia" funded by the European Union since May 2015.
The overall objective of the project is to contribute to a reduction of gender-biased sex selection in Armenia. The project will result in at least 15% positive change in knowledge, attitude and perception of target population groups toward gender-biased sex selection and at least a 10% reduction in the number of sex-selective abortions. This impact will be consolidated through three major results: (R1) Local CSOs, community leaders and authorities are equipped with knowledge and skills and have understanding of the negative consequences of gender-biased sex selection; (R2) Positive change in public perception and attitude towards gender-biased sex selection is achieved; and, (R3) Policy framework is effective in prevention of gender-biased sex selection. The project envisages achieving its three specific objectives through the sequence of interlinked activities including policy analysis and advice, research, institutional capacity building, training, awareness raising and advocacy campaign.more >>
Violence against women is one of the worst forms of violation of human rights prevalent all over the world. Women face gender-based violence (GBV) in workplaces, educational institutions, rural and urban communities. They are exposed to GBV irrespective of their ethnic or religious background, social status, economic standing, age, or other condition. The violence is particularly rampant when it occurs at home, a place where women are supposed to be provided with safe family environment.more >>
The current policy brief aimed at analyzing the monitored online print media outlets in cases when they covered the topic of sex selection and articles that were broadly linked to the value of girls and women. The content of web-based media outlets have been scrutinized to identify any statements or reporting that could have had distorted, untruthful or prejudicial elements against women or men. All these aspects were separately analyzed quantified and also handpicked, allowing analyzing the level of stereotypical reporting either as a media intention or as an absence of intention, leading to unobstructed penetration of prejudicial statements widely circulated in the society and back by reinstating the current state of the affairs.more >>

Short Bio
Viewing music through a wide-angle lens, Paul Hemmings utilizes the unassuming ukulele to fuse together elements of modern jazz, free improvisation, and American roots music. His proclivity for crossing musical boundaries led All About Jazz to write, "Hemmings' mixture of cultures, influences, and genres, exploring the edges of harmony and rhythm, is remarkably fresh and a complete success." Paul has released six albums on Leading Tone Records, including critically acclaimed recordings with saxophonists John Tchicai and Eric Alexander. His latest album, The Blues And The Abstract Uke, features Gaku Takanashi, Rudy Royston, Greg Tardy, and Curtis Fowlkes. The album earned a four-star review from Down Beat magazine and a place in the CMJ Jazz Charts' Top 100. Paul lives in New York City where he has been a faculty member at the Third Street Music School Settlement, the nation's oldest community music school, since 2001.

APPOINTED: Claudine Gay
HARVARD UNIVERSITY has announced Claudine Gay, a longtime professor and current dean of social science, has been appointed as dean of the faculty of arts and sciences.
Gay, a Haitian-American political scientist and professor of African and African-American studies, has been a member of the Harvard faculty since 2006, and has served as FAS dean of social science since 2015.
"It is hard to imagine a more exciting opportunity than to learn from and lead the faculty, staff, and students of the FAS," Gay said in a statement. "I am reminded daily that ours is an extraordinary community — diverse, ambitious, and deeply committed to teaching and research excellence.
"We are all drawn here, each in our own way, by a passion for learning, a search for deeper understandings, and a will to serve the common good. I look forward to working together to advance our shared mission, one never more important than it is now."
The announcement on marks the first major appointment by new Harvard president Larry Bacow, whose tenure began at the beginning of this month.
According to Biz Journals, the university's leadership is set to confront a host of challenges, from Harvard's relatively paltry endowment returns, to an ongoing lawsuit and federal investigation into alleged admissions bias, to the recent unionization of graduate students.
Gay succeeds Michael Smith, who announced earlier this year that he planned to step down as FAS dean.
The university also released a video in which Gay discussed her background, experience and vision for the new role:

Lexington, Kentucky, is the self-styled horse capital of the world-the laid-back city where many of the planet's most mettlesome hayburners change hands for mountains of money. We had 469 prancing German ponies at our disposal as the long-striding Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG wagon cantered northeastward along State Highway 68 at the start of this 180-mile drive. Undulating like the long, lazy swell on a great green ocean, the road crosses a landscape where the white-fenced, stone-walled farms are as perfectly groomed as the prosperous Bluegrass region's finest thoroughbreds.
Visit the historic Duncan Tavern in Paris-the sleepy old town is ever so slightly smaller than its French namesake-and salute Revolutionary War heroes at Blue Licks Battlefield State Resort Park. Among those who fought the British and their allies here in 1782 was Daniel Boone, the legendary frontiersman whose name appears on the park's memorial. Cruise through Fleming County, famous for picturesque covered bridges, and briefly leave the main road to enjoy historic Washington before swooping and sweeping down to Maysville on the broad Ohio River's southern bank. Much of the town's long, colorful history is illustrated on murals in the French Quarter Inn's parking lot, a stone's throw from the bridge.
Our route turns north after sixty riverside miles, but you can continue upstream for a few minutes to see the fabulous floodwall murals in Portsmouth. Painted between 1993 and 2000, they describe a span of more than 2000 years.
The Mercedes ran parallel to the Scioto River before joining scenic Route 772 near Jasper. This entertaining road romps over low hills and flicks through several challenging corners before reaching journey's end in Chillicothe, once Ohio's state capital. Route 772 also passes within a few miles of a little town whose whimsical name, Knockemstiff, is said to be a tribute to the potency of the local moonshine.

What we droveIt may not be the world's most capacious wagon, but the V-8 engine's 469 hp and 569 lb-ft of torque make the Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG hard to beat as a high-speed holdall. We traveled in seven-passenger mode, but a few saddles or a bale of hay would have been appropriate in the Bluegrass country near Lexington.

"Milo Yiannopoulos, the incendiary writer who helped make Breitbart News a leading organ of the alt-right, resigned from the news organization Tuesday after a video of him endorsing pedophilia resurfaced online over the weekend," as the Washington Post is reporting.
"Yiannopoulos has been a flame-throwing provocateur whose writing has offended women, Muslims, blacks and gay people ever since former Breitbart executive chairman Stephen K. Bannon hired him as a senior editor in 2014.
"Bannon, now President Trump's senior adviser, championed the British-born Yiannopoulos's inflammatory commentary and promoted him as a conservative truth-teller and champion of free speech. In turn, his popularity helped raise Breitbart's profile among Trump's supporters and the alt-right, a vaguely defined collection of nationalists, anti-immigration proponents and anti-establishment conservatives. Adherents of the alt-right are known for espousing racist, anti-Semitic and sexist points of view.
"'Breitbart News has stood by me when others caved,' Yiannopoulos said in a statement announcing his resignation. 'They have been a significant factor in my success.'
As recently as last week, Breitbart editor Alexander Marlow in an interview called Yiannopoulos "the No. 1 free speech warrior of his generation in America at the moment."
"But Yiannopoulos's views on pedophilia apparently went too far even for Breitbart."

New in Version 7 Industrial Edition – Efficient Frontier Analysis
Efficient frontier analysis is very common in financial modeling, particularly in the area of portfolio optimization. An efficient frontier is a graph mapping out the optimal return for any risk level one is willing to accept.
For each acceptable risk level you specify, Evolver performs an optimization. In a financial portfolio, we are optimizing the expected return by changing the various allocations of investment funds. The risk level is a constraint that we vary across a range of possible values. The resulting efficient frontier is a 2-dimensional graphical representation of many optimization results. With efficient frontiers, you can greatly enhance the performance of any portfolio.The efficient frontier feature is also applicable outside the field of portfolio optimization: it can be used whenever you want to perform many optimizations fast in order to analyze tradeoffs between two quantities in an optimization problem.
Calculation of the efficient frontier in Evolver.
Evolver is used to solve optimization problems in a wide range of industries, from finance to airlines to manufacturing.

How Evolver Works
Standard optimization programs such as Excel's Solver are good at finding the best "local" solution, or combination of values to maximize or minimize the outcome of a straightforward spreadsheet model given certain constraints. They find a solution which seems to be producing favorable results and continue to work on that basis, without trying new solutions. This is known as "hill climbing." However, these programs are not set up to handle more complicated, nonlinear problems where the best local solution may not be the best absolute answer. Evolver, using innovative "mutations" and combinations of solutions, or "organisms," is well-suited to finding the best overall answer by exploring the entire universe of possible answers.
Using Evolver involves three simple steps:
1. Set Up Your Model.
The Evolver Model window provides one-stop setup for all optimization problems. Here you specify the target cell, identify cells to adjust, and define constraints. Adjustable cells and constraints support cell ranges for easy setup and changes, while target cells can be maximized, minimized, or approach a specific goal.
Defining Ranges and Stopping Conditions
When defining adjustable cells, you can specify the maximum and minimum boundaries of ranges of cells directly in Excel, greatly simplifying setup and making changes easy. For example, you can tell Evolver to adjust cells B1:B5, with a minimum value for each in A1:A5, and a maximum value for each in C1:C5. Multiple groups of cells may be specified, with multiple ranges in each group.
You must also define constraints in your model. For example, there may be limited resources which must be modeled. When defining constraints (hard or soft), you can also specify minimums and maximums with cell ranges.
Finally, set stopping conditions for your optimization, telling Evolver when to stop the optimization.
Solving Methods
Evolver uses six different solving methods that you can specify to find the optimal combination of adjustable cells. Different methods are used to solve different types of problems. The six methods are:
- Recipe - a set of variables which can change independently.
- Grouping - a collection of elements to be placed into groups.
- Order - an ordered list of elements.
- Budget - recipe algorithm, but total is kept constant.
- Project - order algorithm, but some elements precede others.
- Schedule - group algorithm, but assign elements to blocks of time while meeting constraints.
Evolver also allows a great degree of control over how it performs the optimization itself. You can set optimization parameters, runtime settings, control macros and more in the Evolver Settings dialog.
2. Run the Optimization.
Click the Start icon to start the optimization. Evolver will start generating trial solutions in an effort to achieve the target set in Step 1. The summary Evolver Progress window appears, showing optimization status and best answer achieved thus far. This window lets you pause, stop, and run the optimization using playback controls. You can also monitor progress in detail with the Evolver Watcher. Tabbed reports show real-time updates on best answers achieved, all solutions tried, the diversity of solutions being tried, and more.
What Optimization Does
During an optimization, Evolver generates a number of trial solutions and uses genetic algorithms, OptQuest, or linear programming to continually improve results of each trial. With genetic algorithms, each possible solution becomes an independent "organism" that can "breed" with other organisms. The spreadsheet model acts as an environment for the organisms, determining which are "fit" enough to survive based on their results, and occasionally trying "mutations," or completely new solutions.
3. View Optimization Results.
After optimization, Evolver can display the results of the original, best, and last solution on your entire model, updating it with each scenario in a single click. This makes it easy to decide the best course of action. You can also generate reports directly in Excel for an optimization summary, log of all simulations, and log of progress steps.

UNESCO site and ancient historyCallao/Lima
Callao is situated just outside Lima and is a vital route for trade both into and out of Peru. It is home to charming mansions with pretty balconies, museums, churches and the fortress of King Felipe. Lima's history predates the colonial presence in the country. In the north, visit the city of Caral, considered the most ancient city in the Americas, and to the south is the archaeological complex of Pachacamac. Lima is where Spanish conquistadores established the Viceroyalty of Peru in 1542, and began building significant churches, monasteries, mansions and balconies in the city. The arrival of modernity didn't transform the historic center, which is recognized as a World Heritage Site. Join one of our excursions to see the museums with great works of art, archaeological sites, beaches, the boardwalk and experience the exquisite cuisine that gives Peru's capital its unique personality. Explore the city on your own before spending the night in a hotel.

Digging Vintage!
When Gayle from Vintage at the Tower in Corbridge invited me to trade at 'Digging Vintage' in Hexham I did wonder if I qualified to be selling my woolly wares as 'vintage'. I had a think about this and decided that yes, seeing as many of the bodices for my jumpers and sweatercoats came from vintage jumpers, bought from a vintage clothing wholesaler, then yes, I did qualify. Many of the buttons on my garments are vintage too and if nothing else, I could be called 'vintage'!
I am also keen to try new markets and customer bases for my upcycled clothing and soft furnishings, and wondered what the vintage crowd would make of the Woolly Pedlar. Hexham is only half an hour away for me, so it wasn't a particularly early start, and by 9.30 I had the van unloaded, and the stall set up, with plenty of time for coffee and a piece of carrot cake to fortify me.
Doors opened at 10, and thanks to Gayle's excellent promotion and advertising, it was soon bustling. This was in stark contrast to an event I did last week when hardly a soul turned up! It was lovely to see some of my customers coming back to find me, as the word had spread thank to my Facebook and Twitter feeds.
I was very happy to see this cashmere and lambswool cardigan going to a lovely lady, who was very happy with her purchase.
I did get a quick whizz round in between serving customers and thought there was a very high standard of vintage wares, from home based items to jewellery and clothing. I was very tempted by this glorious Singer sewing machine – my mum had one just the same and it was fabulous.
I did make one purchase – I couldn't resist this vintage frock – think Rizzo from Grease!
Gayle tells me she'll be looking to organise another Vintage Fair in October – she can count me in! Thanks to Gayle for all her hard work. It was a fabulous event. 🙂

... especially on a Saturday. Weekends for us are almost always un-plannable, busy, enjoyable, and at times chaotic. This weekend is proving to be no exception, though last weekend was a notably quiet one. It started out innocently enough last night, with a dinner/evening together that was nice, and included a dinner concocted by my husband and ready when I arrived home from work. Bliss, actually.
Later last night, around 12:30 and after we'd amused ourselves with 45 minutes of the Miss USA pageant (badly scripted and put together in our opinions), MBV realized that the Pratt Draw-a-Thon was currently going on (7pm-7am, 16 live models, drummers, pizza, mayhem, and lots of artists) ... he'd thought it was the night before. He decided to pack up his paints and go get in on the action before it closed up around daybreak. He arrived home at 7 with 2 canvases, tired, and crawled into bed. Trying to sleep in as much as possible, I made it till 8:30 before a sore throat and needing to leave with Douglas at 9:45 made me get up.
We'd signed up for a class called Baby Mud at The Painted Pot, a very cool paint-your-own pottery place nearby. We were to meet his 2-day-a-week cohort JM, who he shares a sitter with in Park Slope. I'd never met the mom, and she'd suggested the class as a good place to hook up. We arrived just on time, for once, only to find ourselves the first ones there :) Such novelty for perpetually late folks like us. JM and her parents arrived a bit later, and turned out to be the only ones in the class. Much mess and fun ensued making clay windchimes, with the painting part being the hit for both of them. Once they were off to dry, both kids got rather hyper and started having a ball together. See above :)
As for the title above? After the class, Douglas had a meltdown similar to several recently, that involve yelling, whining, and lots of blindly begging for "more" of whatever he's been getting. Fun, toys in shopwindows, trips, and so on. This one, with minor breaks, lasted all the way home, and somewhere along the way I'd promised a "chat with daddy" when he got home, which I rarely use but is sometimes very handy. He was shrieking about "more treats" when we walked in the door, and I sent him straight to his room, where he has to pass thru our room to get to. Hence a bleary-eyed husband staggering out of bed, trying to sort out what's going on and gather his wits. I heatedly gave him the rundown, and asked him to deal w/it as I was too angry and didn't dare. He did, and 25 minutes later a very solemn child came to me in the kitchen and apologized. Here's hoping it sank in a little deeper this time.
My lovely and long-awaited afternoon nap was bliss. I got about 1.5 hours of true and delicious sleep, helping mitigate the past week of very little or very disjointed sleep, and partly due to the relief of finally FINISHING all the exams and papers I had to submit for graduation from ICA, my coaching school. Woo hoo!! Felt wonderful. I woke up and then started to fall back asleep, only to have my husband walk in the room as he was tearing around getting ready to go in for evening work, and announce that the cat had just peed on my backpack. The little $#%*&. Since I've lived here, that's akin to peeing on my purse. I carry it everywhere, and had finally gotten a new one a couple months ago that I loved, after carrying a truly sad mustard yellow one for untold years. Nine or ten maybe? I got up and helped with the clean up, and it's now soaking in the washer. Didn't ruin the nap, but sure wasn't a pleasant way to restart my afternoon. Perhaps he's mad because I ran out of wet cat food and he got half a cheese-dog for breakfast? It's only about 8 on his list of most favorite foods, judged by the amount of head-tossing, whining-while-cooking, and frantic attacking of the food when it's offered.
We'll see what he gets for dinner, and how long he has to wait. Won't be before D wakes up so we can go get some, at the very least.
I'm still glad for the nap :)

Lemon Butter Cookie with Raspberry Mousse

Happy Cooking!

Covent Garden In My Bikini?
Okay, so I've been emailed many times now by an agency asking me to use a certain product over a period of time and then do a 'big reveal' of myself (or a case-study) in my bikini on National Bikini Day in Covent Garden. National Bikini Day? Hello? National Blood Donation Day, National Breast Cancer Awareness Day, National No Smoking Day… hell, yes! To all of those. But, National Bikini Day. I think not.
I've said no to this with no fuss several times but they just won't leave it alone. The premise is that the campaign will help women feel more confident about their bodies. How, exactly? How does using a body cream and then getting down to your undies in public so that a brand can flash it all over the internet help a woman's confidence. Either you are confident in your body to do something like this or you are not and a body cream isn't going to change it either way.
Thinking about if a lad's mag asked women to pitch up in their bikinis so they could be photographed (and all the while documenting it pictorially on your blogs over a period of weeks, so one bikini shot isn't 'it' just in case you wondered) I think we would be thinking very differently on the exact reason for the bikini exposure.
Let's not confuse body confidence with sensationalism and an easy marketing win. I do wear a bikini on holiday and I wear it with confidence (although I might stop short at a game of beach volley ball in it ;-)) and I don't much care what anybody thinks about my body. It's not really anybody's business but mine and it would be completely wrong for me to participate in a marketing campaign that implies that being seen more or less naked will 'improve confidence'. I know the state of women's confidence – it's a precarious thing that changes almost daily and of ninety-nine compliments and one criticism the thing we remember is the one. I know it and confidence comes from an inner state, not an outer state.
It's reminding me a lot of the Dove campaign for beautiful armpits. There never was a problem with armpits til they made it one. Same for all the 'whitening' products – mild skin pigmentation wasn't ever really a big issue until a speckled egg told us differently and the only complexion to have now is one bare of any irregularities. How boring.
The beauty industry really needs to watch how it flogs its wares right now. We all know it's a smoke and mirrors game, but it's one we quite gladly play because there is such pleasure to be had from beauty products. But make it an unpleasant, confidence sapping experience and those scales will tip.
And, I will just add in that I am very well aware that Marketing Departments (who hold the budget strings) who have one remit only come up with or sanction this kind of campaign which then leaves the PR offices desperately trying to pick up the pieces when it all goes horribly wrong.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who found this brand's incessant need to email constantly quite tiring and somewhat…baffling. I doubt I'll ever be behind a campaign which asks women to strip down to basically their underwear in one of the busiest parts of London with the thin veil of 'show your new body confidence!' poorly masking the real idea of 'help us sell our products!' It's been done to death and these days it looks nothing short of lazy.
Going off at a bit of a tangent here but on the topic of irregularities, my Sunday indulgence has been watching old Catherine Cookson dramas in which the actresses and actors are untainted with Botox and fillers. Channel hoping between rolling news channels, modern dramas and the old Catherine Cookson dramas highlights how much more alive and vibrant the actresses and actors are in the old programmes because their faces are free to express emotion. It's the only place on TV that you will see a whole furrowed brow and I don't think it detracts from the actresses looks. I hope that the current obsession in fighting lines will pass because it takes a measure of the life out of a persons face.
I never paid much heed to the Dove armpits campaign because my bingo wings camoflage them nicely.
This is ridiculously well-written, in all the best possible ways. Well said, sharply edited, and exactly on point. Love the part about confidence and the "speckled egg."
Bravo! I love it when you refuse to toe the line and say what you think. (After all, isn't that what journalism is about?) Please, please keep it up!
well said that lady. I find it unpleasingly ironic sometimes that some (by no means all) beauty companies who are aiming their products and marketing spin at women are the ones most guilty of playing on our insecurities and in the worst cases, actually creating them! Thanks for focussing on the positive!
Well Said! I hate that they use women's insecurities ( Created normally by advertising ) to sell products! And its so hard not to get suckered in, my beauty routine has grown so much over the last 10 years its nearly a part time job! But they have been very clever because if we stop or cut back on our products/beauty routines we feel we are letting our self's down some how why????
Don't get me wrong I love all things 'Beauty' its just I don't want to be force fed it through advertising designed to undermine but enjoy it for what it is pure indulgent fun! And don't get me started on air brushing!! Hope this isn't a bit strong.

Princesses as God's Image? Really?
Last year at one of Sarah Beckman's talks, she had us imagine ourselves as God's princesses.
This was a revolutionary idea for me. It still is.
God's princess? Me? The girl who still wears holes in all the knees of my jeans and still likes to play in the woods. The woman who until a few years ago, didn't enjoy wearing skirts and rarely wore a dress. I was even uncomfortable as a bride, as princess for the day just didn't mesh with my self-understanding.
Yet now, I relish the idea.
It helps to have a toddler girl who is into dolls, pink, princesses and dancing. I have no idea where she came from – well, yes I do, from God.
She was created in God's image – every pink ruffle, sparkly bracelet, and well cared for baby doll.
Recently I was driving around town for work (I'm a visitation minister for a church), and the discussion on MPR turned to the princess culture. It was related to a NY Times article.
Just as I was ready to turn it off from frustration, a woman called in. She spoke of how "indulging" in the princess culture as a child helped round her out as a person and woman who is now outnumbered by men in her science field.
There are extremes with everything. Yes, we can easily overdo it with princesses – but at this moment, our house is overrun by cars, pirates, and Legos. Yet, just as a child's obsession with Legos has an up-side, so does a child's obsession with princesses.
Being a woman in this culture is well documented as being conflicted.
The 'can have it all' message is still being sold to young women, even though those of us farther along can easily say it can't be done.
In the ministry field, as I am sure it happens elsewhere, it is a challenge to be a woman when the image of 'pastor' is still a man who has a supportive at-home wife. Everything from choosing appropriate clothing (or a clerical robe that doesn't deny our curves) to not being pegged only as the children's minister, can easily take the princess out of us. Thankfully it continues to improve in many denominations, but not all.
I pray my daughter's future will not be as conflicted as mine, but change takes generations.
If embracing her inner princess as a child allows her to understand and celebrate her feminine side, I'll all for it!
What's wrong with being feminine? What's wrong with enjoying looking pretty or adding a bit of sparkle to our days?
We don't have to bow to consumerism or trends, but embracing our inner princess can be a way to embrace who God created us to be.
My closet is now full of skirts, dresses and high heels, along with jeans, Target and Uni Qlo T-shirts, and my beloved pair of cowboy boots.
When my kids finally get their own rooms, my daughter's will reflect her inner-princess, while my son's will allow for his experiments.
God created us as complex individuals. Let us embrace all of who we are, even if it is being a princess!
Creator God, You have imagined and brought to life humankind in Your image. Help us embrace who we are, including being Your princess! We are all beautiful in Your Eyes, help us to have courage to embrace that beauty, help us to embrace what You see that we try to keep hidden. Lord, also help us to remain faithful to You instead of getting distracted by other things. Amen.

Is graphics drivers are inbuilt with ati ccc software
Hello expert, presently I am having Macintosh OS on my system. Does Macintosh support anti CCC software.
If so, what operating systems support at CCC software. What are graphics accelerators that are available in the auto CCC software. Is generic graphics drivers are in built with at CCC software?
