On any given day, Melinda Bryan's job description might include taking a student for a walk, helping weave a tapestry, or mediating a burning dispute like which NFL team has won the most Super Bowl titles, Green Bay or Pittsburgh.
Bryan, a paraprofessional at Voluntown Elementary School, takes it all in stride. "I really love working with kids," she said. She spends a lot of time in the classroom doing one-on-one work with special-needs students, helping them stay on task, take movement breaks or manage their own behavior.
The junior high students she works with have a special place in her heart. "They have a lot of interesting ideas," Bryan said. "They know what they want, but they don't know what they want." She makes it a point to let them just talk about their problems and concerns. "They don't always listen, but I try to guide them in the way they should go."
"She's a great go-to person," said VES Principal Alycia Trakas. "I know if she's given a task it will be done, and done 150 percent. She wears many hats, and has a good understanding of many different perspectives. And she has one of those personalities that students are drawn to."
Bryan began volunteering at VES eight years ago, when her own now-teenage children were small. Since then, she has tackled other projects to provide the students with opportunities for fun and learning. As acting director of Voluntown's Youth Services Bureau, she has developed a summer camp program that offered science, dance, sports and art activities to the town's children. About 20 kids participated in the program last year, and "had a good time," she said.
She also orchestrated a teddy bear pajama picnic, which drew almost 70 adults and children, and a junior high movie night for older kids. A dodge ball tournament, a 5K run and CPR classes for high school kids are among the other activities Bryan has offered to area youth. The goal is to offer something appealing to kids across a wide age range, she said. "I enjoy coming up with programs for these kids to do" to keep them out of trouble, she said.
Bryan is also secretary of the Voluntown Recreation Commission, another agency that provides activities for young people. The commission has sponsored volleyball, Zumba and babysitting classes and worked to rebuild the basketball court on town property.
Bryan said it's a true team effort. "It's not just me, it's everybody," she said. "There are a lot of people in the background who help, and we wouldn't be where we are today without them. We're very lucky to be in this town – everybody helps each other. All our commissions and organizations are working together. It's really a great town," said Bryan.

My ability to work both with underlying psychological issues and the subsequent action steps that emerge when energy is freed up and directed toward creating positive change, creates continuity, the opportunity to keep digging deep and moving forward with one person wearing two very complimentary hats."

It is my desire to provide a comfortable and sometimes uncomfortable setting to examine areas which may be preventing you from thriving and living the life you were meant to live."

"Therapeutic change occurs through a supportive, trusting therapeutic relationship in which the clients' strengths are identified and highlighted. In the context of the therapeutic relationship, it is my belief that the client can then heal and grow by increasing one's awareness of self, challenging one's old beliefs, learning new skills, establishing appropriate boundaries in relationships with others, and experiencing and letting go of old pain."

Me and this girls have been texting each other everyday for the last 6 months we aren't a couple but have got really close we haven't even met in person yet but that is happening next month but here's my situation we have been starting to have petty arguments which are caused by one our moods but recently i admit i have acted like a dickhead but on Saturday i was drunk and started acting very awkward and out of order i have since apologised several times but she has said she doesn't want to talk to me for a bit as I've annoyed her for which i respect everyone needs space but how long do i leave it and should text her or wait till she texts me?
Most Helpful Girl
give her space to come to you, if you contact her when she's asked for space then you'll only push her further away, give her time to miss you and if in time she doesn't contact you it's time to move on unfortunately but from what you said i think she will. I was in a similar situation, met a guy online and we spoke every day for almost a year, got really attached to each other but i messed it up by refusing to meet up :( it annoys me how people say 'you never even met them' like you can't get attached to someone you never met but talk to every day for a long time? hope she contacts you and you dont mess it up.00|00|0
Well we have been speaking on and off recently but there's a little awkwardness still so I'm backing off again for a bit again and gonna give her more breathing space

Re: Novice needs help
In reply to:
Novice needs help
I spoke to my uncle a few days ago and he mentioned that he was at a family reunion in Indiana where he met a relative from our Shively line. The guy sent him a lot of history, dating back to the 1700s. According to the geneology for our line, the Shivelys came from the Alsace-Lorraine area of France (currently)and they were hugeunots. Alsace-Lorraine has gone back and forth between Germany and France several times throughout history. I hope to have more info on the Shivelys in the midwest very soon. If you like I'd be happy to compare notes.

Paul Spradley, Executive Vice President of Bobby Hebert's Cajun Cannon – Ana Borden recently completed the bar design for Bobby Hebert's Cajun Cannon restaurant
Ana Borden was brought on board to assist with the bar design, which is the focal point of the restaurant. Immediately, she proved herself as a competent and reliable resource. Ana was able to translate our ideas into a fixed form, while helping us negotiate around architectural and design obstacles. She coordinated with our contractor, subcontractors, and vendors to provide a complete and refined product within our limited time requirements. Ultimately we received a remarkable final product that blends seamlessly with the rest of our interior. There is no doubt we will be consulting Ana for future projects.
Craig M. Smith, AIA Associate Principal at RATIO Architects
Ana is a dedicated and focused project architect who was able to successfully execute a very complex and fast paced education project in her role as the project architect. The project team included a number of specialty engineering and equipment consultants that Ana coordinated and pushed towards a common design goal and schedule.
Ted Reichert Senior Project Manager at Berglund Construction
Ana and I worked together on a complex healthcare renovation project. Ana was reliable, knowledgeable, and thorough. In the fast paced construction industry it is key to have a design partner like Ana who knows the job and gets you answers and responses right away. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to working together on another project.
Mark Nichols, AIA Principal, Eckenhoff Saunders Architects
Ana served as Project Architect on two difficult healthcare renovation projects; Shriners Hospital for Children ICU and PACU Renovation, and LaRabida Childrens Hospital 2nd Floor Patient Unit Renovation. She provided both design and construction administration expertise in order to complete these projects successfully. Both clients appreciated her diligence and commitment toward completing the project on time and on budget.

Bengali girls are naturally blessed with bold, seductive eyes. They are literally eyes that speak louder than their mouths! And to enhance these eyes even more, they use copious amounts of eyeliner to get that fierce eyeliner look.
With our easy steps to this eyeliner look, even people with eyes that are less bold can look fierce and elegant. All you need to do is master the art of using an eyeliner just like they have.
All eyes are beautiful eyes, and if you are not blessed with beautiful eyes, not to worry, makeup was invented to save your life.
With the right kind of makeup tools and techniques, anyone can have bold, big eyes. And eye makeup is one of the most basic keys to doing the right makeup. Most people feel a lot safer attempting eye makeup than other forms of makeup.
This eye makeup look can be worn even on a day-to-day basis, for college, office and even for festive occasions. That's what makes this look so versatile.
So, keep reading to find out how to get the Bengali eyeliner look easily.
Step 1:
Prime your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer or a base. This helps the makeup stay in place all day long, through oil and sweat.
Step 2:
Use a brown eyeshadow in a very neutral shade to create a base for your eye makeup. This step isn't absolutely necessary, but it just adds depth and dimension to the eyes.
Step 3:
Line your upper and lower waterline with a kajal pencil. This makes your lashes look naturally thick, something that a lot of Bengali girls have.
Step 4:
Line your upper and lower lash lines with the same kajal pencil. You may even use a liquid liner if you are more comfortable with those.
Step 5:
Smoke out the eyeliner using a black eyeshadow first and then a brown or a grey eyeshadow. Smoke out both the upper lashline and the lower one.
Step 6:
For easy steps to get a Bengali eyeliner look, coat your lashes with a mascara. Use at least two coats.

MSCTC looking for student entepreneurs
The new Business and Entrepreneurial Services Center at Minnesota State Community & Technical College in Detroit Lakes is "open and ready for business," says Patty Heath Gordon, director of the BES program.
The program is currently accepting applicants for summer and fall courses. Beginning this fall, the college will begin offering an associate of applied sciences degree program in business entrepeneurship.
"It's a two-year degree program, intended for employment," Gordon noted. But the credits (67 total) will also be fully transferable to a four-year college, for obtaining a bachelor's degree, she added.
Also, starting this summer, the college is planning to begin offering business courses that students can take on either a credit or non-credit basis, said Gordon.
As for the content of these courses, Gordon continued, MSCTC is seeking public input.
"We'll cater to the needs of the community," she noted. "We want to know -- what (knowledge) do people need to grow an existing business or to start a small business in this community?"
Some of the possibilities include introductory courses in entrepreneurship and marketing, sales, constructing a business plan, accounting, funding, international marketing challenges and opportunities, and information technology for small businesses.
"There's also opportunity analysis, a one-credit class about what opportunities are available -- what the 'hot jobs' are, or how to start a business (in a particular service or production area) where there's a need," Gordon said.
Basically, she added, the BES program is willing to construct courses around what the community wants to see.
"There are certain core classes that are required," she said. But there are other courses, especially for non-credit, that could be targeted to address specific needs.
"If there is a topic you are interested in (learning more about), we need to know that," Gordon added.
In addition, a counselor from the Small Business Development Corporation (SBDC) will be available for consulting services, on an appointment basis.
"One of the SBDC counselors from the local office in Moorhead will be on site (in Detroit Lakes) to meet with people who want to start a small business, and help them determine viability, location, marketing needs, etc. -- and help them find the resources and funding to get started," Gordon said.
Future projects of the BES will include an incubator business program (targeted to open in the fall of 2009), and a monthly speaker series (Twin Cities entrepreneur Diane Dusek is scheduled to speak at the college on June 4 at 10 a.m. in the main conference center, C-101).
Gordon also noted that the BES program "is always looking for people or business who are interested in providing funds to support advocacy for higher education and entrepreneurship."
For more information, call Patty Heath Gordon at 218-846-3804 or send e-mail to email@example.com

Each line on the graph above shows you what happened if you invested $100 in 1980.

The green line shows the outcome if that $100 was in safe investments, like short term certificates of deposit.

The blue line shows the outcome if invested in five year treasury securities, also considered a low risk investment.

The orange line shows you the outcome if your money was invested in something like a balanced fund, with 50% in bonds and 50% in a stock index fund.

The red line shows you how your $100 would have grown if invested in an S&P 500 Index fund.

In the following graphs, you can see additional details for each level of investment risk.

Safe investments have no risk of a loss of principal. The trade-off is that you might not earn much of a return. With low risk, safe investments you won't have to worry about losing money, but you may not make much either.

Your biggest risk is that your investment returns will be less than the rate of inflation. In 2009 for example, low risk investments returned less than one half of one percent, yet inflation, as measured by the consumer price index, was about 2.5% that year. It's hard to live off half a percent of interest a year while costs are rising.

To earn higher returns, you have to be willing to use higher risk investments, which means you may have years where you have negative returns. The next graph in this series shows you how investments with a little more risk compare to investments with no risk.

Low risk investments, like short-term government, corporate and municipal bonds, deliver consistent returns with minimal risk. In general, this means higher returns than their safer, guaranteed alternatives. Shown above are the annual returns of an investment in five year Treasury securities.

Most low risk options are bonds. When it comes to bonds, here are a few things to keep in mind:

Government bonds - These are considered a very safe investment, as the principal and interest are guaranteed by the U.S. Government.

Corporate bonds - The principal and interest are backed by the financial strength of the company that issued it, so if the company files bankruptcy, your money could be at risk.

Municipal bonds - The principal and interest are backed by the state or city that issued the bond. Although rare, there have been cases where municipalities defaulted on their bonds.

To earn higher returns with a moderate level of investment risk, you can choose to put a portion of your money in low risk investments and a portion in investments with a higher level of risk. Results of such a strategy are shown on the next graph in this series.

You can create a portfolio with a moderate level of investment risk by choosing the right mix of bonds and stocks.

The graph above shows the calendar year returns from 1980 - 2009 of a portfolio that was invested 50% in Treasury securities with five year maturities (as shown in the previous graph), and 50% in U.S. large cap stocks as represented by the S&P 500 index (as shown on the next graph).

You can create a similar investment mix by using a balanced fund, or by buying two index funds; a bond index fund and a stock index fund.

With moderate risk investments, you will have years where your investments go down in value, but if you are willing to stick with your portfolio, it is likely you will have higher long-term

If you want the potential for higher returns, you have to get more aggressive. The next graph shows the results of a portfolio that is invested 100% in stocks.

The graph above shows you the calendar year returns you experienced if invested in an S&P 500 Index fund over thirty years from 1980 - 2009.

A stock index fund is considered a high risk investment; you can have extremely high returns in one year, and large losses the next year; however, unless Armageddon arrives and all of the hundreds of companies listed in the index go out of business at once, you don't run the risk of losing all of your money (which is a level five investment risk).

There are other options that fall in this risk category, such as high yield investments, which offer higher levels of current income relative to safer alternatives.

On the next graph in the series you'll see all four levels of investment risk charted out side by side, giving you a great visual comparison.

Play it safe or take on additional investment risk? The graph above shows returns for safe investments compared to higher risk alternatives.

The green line shows returns for one month certificates of deposit; which is a very low risk investment.

The blue line shows returns for five year treasury securities; another low risk investment.

The orange line shows returns for a balanced portfolio of fifty percent five year Treasury securities, and fifty percent U.S. Large cap stocks (represented by the S&P 500 Index); a moderate risk investment.

The red line shows returns for the S&P 500 index; a high risk investment.

What about even riskier options such trading stocks? I cover those on the next and last graph in this series.

High risk investments can deliver fabulous returns, but you also take the risk you could lose everything you've invested.

High risk investments include things like owning individual stocks, starting a business, playing the options market, or speculating on a piece of real estate.

It's not quite like gambling, because you're investing in an opportunity that you've hopefully taken the time to thoroughly research, but luck will still have quite a bit to do with your results.

For play money, or sophisticated investors, these choices are fine. But for those of you who have a limited amount of funds and know you'll need to rely on them in retirement, you probably want to steer clear of higher risk choices.

St. Vincent & The Grenadines, Eastern Caribbean
Mustique has an exotic story. In 1958, it was purchased by a British Lord, Colin Tennant, who was close to the royal family. A select few were invited to build vacation homes on the Island and Princess Margaret was one of the first to do so. Other notables followed, including celebrities like Mick Jagger and Tommy Hilfiger. Mustique is now home to about 100 extraordinary, privately owned villas, of which 85 are available for weekly rental. From two to nine bedrooms in size, they are rented with the services of their permanent staffs and the house vehicles.
- 1400-acre private island
- Fully staffed villas
- Nine beaches
- Water sports center and spa
Location and Surroundings:
Mustique is situated in the St. Vincent & Grenadine Islands, 110 miles west of Barbados (approximately 45 minutes flight time). There are regularly scheduled as well as charter flights from both Barbados and St. Lucia. The Island is 1400 acres of lush hills and beaches large and small, and is home to only two small hotels — the chic Cotton House Hotel and the Firefly.
Available for rental are 85 extraordinary designer villas ranging from two to nine bedrooms. Each villa is privately owned and its style reflects the unique taste of its owner. Some are beachfront, and many are scattered thoughtfully about the island's lush hills and enjoy fabulous views of the sea and neighboring islands. All have private pools, some more than one. The styles of the villas range from classic Caribbean to Japanese, Balinese, Italian and English country. Each villa is fully staffed by its owner and includes a minimum of cook, maid and gardener. Each rental includes the use of the owner's jeep-like vehicle.
Experience and Activities:
Mustique boasts nine beautiful white sand beaches, endless trails for walking and hiking, four floodlit tennis courts, a fully equipped water sports center, and state-of-the-art spa. Mountain bikes and scooters are available for rental, and there is an equestrian center with lessons available. Day sightseeing trips are offered to nearby islands such as Barbados, Grenada, Martinique and St. Lucia.

PITTSBURGH--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--DocsCorp (www.docscorp.com), a leading provider of document productivity tools, today announced that Christian & Barton, L.L.P. has replaced its legacy metadata cleaning tool with cleanDocs from DocsCorp. The Virginia-based firm also added contentCrawler for automated, 24/7 OCR processing and compression. The applications integrate with the firm's OpenText eDOCS DMS.
"We purchased pdfDocs and compareDocs almost 10 years ago after searching for a cost-effective replacement for Acrobat and a robust document comparison tool, respectively."
Christian & Barton were already long-time DocsCorp users. The civil practice firm has been using pdfDocs to create, manage, and collate PDFs, and compareDocs to find changes between business- critical documents since 2008.
Bob Rideout, Firm Administrator at Christian & Barton said, "We purchased pdfDocs and compareDocs almost 10 years ago after searching for a cost-effective replacement for Acrobat and a robust document comparison tool, respectively.

Believe it or not, what you drive will affect whether you will be able to get Orange County auto insurance with rates that won't leave you broke. Insurance companies possess extensive data on their drivers and the automobiles they are driving. Trends for drivers and automobiles cause some automobiles to be more expensive to insure and drivers need to pay for the car they choose.
Automobiles such as the two-door Honda Civic rate low on safety ratings and are often a popular target for thieves, which means you'll pay more for what the data on this type of vehicle provides. On the contrary, driving a vehicle with proven high safety ratings will guarantee you will get a discount – this underscores the importance of doing your research – Promax Insurance agency can get you the best Orange County auto insurance rates for what you want to drive.
Determine Why You Drive Your Car Define
An important thing to note about Orange County auto insurance is whether you use your car for business or leisure will affect what you pay for your insurance. If your car is a commuter vehicle and chances are you will be driving more often and with further distances, so you will likely pay more to insure your car.
Similarly, if your car is used as a regular business vehicle, this will likely reflect in your insurance rate due to the differences in use and purpose of work vehicles. Be up front and practical about your car's purpose in order to make sure you're covered for your car's purpose and don't pay more than you need to.
Not all Orange County Auto Insurance Is Created Equal
Auto Insurance in Orange County allows you to choose the degree to which you are covered as well as the level of your deductible. Those who choose a lower deductible usually pay less for insurance, but will mean that you'll have to pay more out of pocket in the event of a claim.

Ministers agree 'compromise' on refugees, big cities to offer bed and board
Dutch News
Dutch ministers have agreed a compromise deal about how to cope with failed refugees who cannot or are unable to leave the country, RTL news reports on Wednesday.
In essence, the agreement means the five big cities of Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, The Hague and Eindhoven will be able to offer emergency accommodation for a short period, but that all other cities must stop doing so.
Refugees who have failed to win formal refugee status will be able to spend a few weeks at the shelters, which will offer basic bed and board, but must then report to a deportation centre to prepare for their return.

Does Marriage Counseling Work Really
For all the money that they charge, does marriage counseling work really? It's a question men almost invariably ask when their wives bring up going to a marriage counselor. It's a legitimate suspicion to entertain really. How does one set this suspicion to rest?
It's usually people who are qualified in psychiatry, psychology or mental health in some way, who are granted a license by the state, to practice marriage counseling. To be an actual licensed marriage and family therapist of the best kind, a person needs to actually gain a masters degree in one of these disciplines, pass a national licensing exam, and practice for thousands of hours under a fully licensed counseling professional.
However, this is only if this person calls himself a "therapist". That's the word that's regulated by the law. Anyone can go into business for himself offering counseling advice. He can call himself a marriage counselor or a relationship professional or anything else, and it doesn't matter to the law.
The thing is though that love and marriage are such difficult areas to help bring any resolution to that even qualifications and a license don't really help at all. Yes, you certainly do get a minimum level of service when you go with a proper licensed professional. But does marriage counseling work? There's really no way to guarantee that. There is no scientific way in which to get people to understand each other and get along. There is simply no way.
The thing to keep in mind here is that you are only guaranteed a minimum level of service when you go with a licensed therapist. Even a pastor with no qualifications whatsoever, can obtain counseling certifications that qualify him as a therapist. On the other hand, highly qualified psychologists may offer marriage counseling even when they don't have any specific training. Neither approach is really known to work.
There are just plenty of consumer complaints that the authorities receive in every state each year, that have to do with how a marriage therapist doesn't provide good service. A large number of these therapists, it comes out in the investigation later, operate on on an expired license.
Does marriage counseling work? When someone brings the whole counseling field into question, it isn't a question that is easily dismissed. It's a question that deserves a good look.
Good question put forth.
Counselors are not magicians or doctors that they will do wonders or heal. But they help the person or persons in problem to stand and fight their problems.
Even when a very good therapist gives his best to help the couples but they don't follow what the therapist says then it's worthless.
In my opinion the therapist should stop helping or counseling when he feels that the couples are not ready to work on the advice or thrapy instead of taking the fees quietly.

This is a great budget friendly iron. It has a great steam feature and glides smoothly over my clothes. It has rust free protection so even if the hot plate gets wet, over time it isn't going to rust.
It reaches a great temperature to take the wrinkles out of any fabric. Easy to handle, feels nice in my hand and not too heavy.
I would recommend this to friends.

I don't think that it matters. It's my understanding that megaupload was entirely outside of the US. Their headquarters were in Hong Kong and the principal operators lived in New Zealand but the US still shut them down.
Well, they may have been headquartered and had all their servers in foreign countries, but they were still megaupload.COM, which means their domain was an American one. That's why they were able to "seize" the domain, making the content unavailable. If the owners wanted to, they could have just registered another domain, say megaupload.nz, redirected their server's DNS to the new domain, and 12 hours later, they would have been back up, just with a different web address. (That is assuming that the country where they were physically based did not cooperate with the US and seize their servers or cut off their internet connection)

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Why will my garage door not open up?
It WILL NOT OPEN UP!!!!! leftyslate - 8 years ago
Top Voted Answer
One of the things that seems to trigger this "glitch" is parking a modded car in your garage. Specificaly, a car with a fancy paint job from the low rider shop in Los Santos or the Arch Angels street racer shop in San Fiero. If you are in a hurry to get into the garage (Like being chased by police with a wanted level) then skip the garage, it's not going to open in a timely manner.
Some ways to get the garage to open, if you have the time:
If it's Cj's garage at his mom's house in Los Santos, try walking around the back of the garage, jumping on the short wall and up onto the roof of the garage. This helps sometimes.
For other garages: Try pressing the triangle button for getting into the car. Sometimes this works. Jumping up right in front of the garage door can help sometimes, too. try walking around the sides and back of the garage, if possible.
Basically, patience is key. Eventually, it will open.
Sometimes, when the garage finally opens, the car with the modded paint job will be there, but the paint job will be gone, the car will just be a solid color.
If you know there is going to be a situation where you have to get into the garage fast, don't park a modded car in the garage. The garages open faster with just regular cars in them.
Hope this helps. bigsmoke503 (Expert) - 7 years ago
Try reloading the game, that might fix it. Fissure_X - 8 years ago
This is a common problem that appears in other GTA titles as well. Try using a different garage door, then returning to the one that is stuck. Nukey_Shay (Expert) - 8 years ago
Happens to me aswell just stand in front of it ride around awhile then go back and try again johnroxdemsox - 7 years ago
I'll just punch it, try to walk through it, walk in circles, etc, etc until it opens. free-bee (Expert) - 7 years ago
if you have a fancy paintjob on the car, it helps to have a regular car in with it. What i do is ram the door with another car at the sides pshycochild - 7 years ago

Jack is playing "phone" too! He holds any toy to his head and even sometimes his hand held palm flat. He'll say "aah" (we think this is his hi) and then babble on in his jargon.
He isn't talking much though. No mama, dada. Says "ba" for bath and bottle. Wish he said more words. But he is affectionate and plays with us and his toys. And is often demanding of attention. So I think this is just a speech delay. But we'll see...

Commercial ArbitrationRadu Bogdan Bobei
The starting point of writing this Elementary Handbook was the Romanian arbitration law. Afterwards it has been outlined the concepts and principles specified in UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration (1985, with amendments as adopted in 2006). For the purpose of smoothly solving the conflict of mentalities, if any, between domestic mentalities and international mentality with regard the interpretation above, a brief glance on international jurisprudence developed under arbitration laws worldwide enacting the Model Law above seemed to me appropriate to be followed.
Promoting the so-called ideology of "scholarly pragmatism" in the context of commercial arbitration may mean to facilitate the flexible coexistence and cohesion of legal, business-like and scholarly interpretation of any concepts arising out the disputable facts. (Radu Bobei)

Revised- To Kill A Mockingbird Essay, Research Paper
To Kill A Mockingbird
The popular yet classic novel written by Harper Lee
A single, widowed father, Atticus Finch strives to raise his two children with good morals in a southern town during the 1930?s. Atticus, Mrs. Dubose, and the children are the main characters in the story. They all reside in a small town by the name of Maycomb, where this story takes place.
Mrs. Dubose is a sick old lady and is often criticized Jem and Scout and other children who pass the porch where she was confined. She would tell Scout that she shouldn?t be wearing overalls, and should dress like a lady. Despite her meanness Atticus believed her to be a wonderful lady, who chose to leave this world beholden to nothing and nobody. He treated her wonderfully, which Scout thought was very brave. Mrs. Dubose wanted to die free, without being in debt to anyone. This she did, and even gave Jem a final parting gift after he had tried to ruin her flower garden in his blind rage. Mrs. Dubose held her own opinions, and according to these, she died without owing anything to anyone.
The children, Jem, Scout, and their friend Dill, are all very important characters in this story. All three of them are in fear and awe of a certain man who they do not understand, by the name of Boo Radley. Boo, or Arthur Radley lived in a house on the same street as Scout and Jem, but had not been seen for many years, and therefore was one of the main players in the rumors that circulated Maycomb. In result of the horrible stories describing Boo as a monster, the children feared the Radley House.
Atticus, a man who has seen more of the world than most of the people of Maycomb combined Atticus struggles against the close-minded views of the small southern town. The mad-dog incident occurred when a sick, possibly rabid dog, was spotted wandering aimlessly through Maycomb. Heck Tate, the sheriff, requested that Atticus be the one to do away with the animal. This shocks the children, when they soon learn that although Atticus is known to have the best shot with a gun in town, he chooses not to practice or show off his talent. As Miss Maudie, a close neighbor, states I think maybe he put his gun down when he realized that God had given him an unfair advantage over most living things. I guess he decided he wouldn?t shoot till he had to, and he had to today. Thus,
The main center of the story comes with Atticus and his other deed defend a black man, Tom Robinson, in a trial against a white man, Bob Ewell, who claims Tom raped his daughter. One would think that the evidence proves Tom?s innocence, furthermore; the Ewell family has a horrible reputation, and lives like animals, on the outskirts of town. However; this case isn?t as simple as it seems, for although Mr. Ewell isn?t respected, he still remains on a higher level than the black population, because of the segregated views of the white community. Atticus knows that this will be a difficult trial, and that the chances of winning are many against one, yet he is a respected lawyer, and will defend people of any color. I?m simply defending a Negro, Scout relates the trial to the dog incident by saying it was like watching Atticus walk into the street, raise a rifle to his shoulder and pull the trigger, but watching all the time knowing that the gun was empty. This points out to the reader that while Atticus knew he was not going to win the trial, he went through with it, and tried his hardest, giving it all that he had; moreover, proving his statement to try one?s hardest even if one knows that he or she has been defeated long before he or she begins.
This was a great book for enjoyment and for a few lessons on morality. I would sincerely recommend this book for either pursued. I enjoyed the story of from Harper Lee and now look forward to seeing the movie.

With Not Impossible selected as part of TEDMED's The Hive 2014 in San Francisco, we took the opportunity to touch base with other innovators who inspire us. NotImpossibleNow's editor caught up with Gizmonyx founder/developer Nate Devault, who was attending with marketing director Zarah Crizaldo from their homebase of Boulder, Colorado. With their Visor device and other initiatives, Gizmonyx has a mission to make blindness an option instead of a disability, and "treatable in the way certain types of deafness are treatable with implants." Technology toward a better tomorrow? That's an idea we can truly get behind!
NIN: If you were sitting on an airplane and the person sitting next to you asked what you do, how would you explain it?
Nate: We develop devices for low-vision and no-vision people. We make things to restore vision for low-vision, for people that have tunnel vision, or retinitis pigmentosa, or glaucoma, or whatever. We've developed a visor that's people can put on and restore their vision to normal sight. It shrinks the world down to their tunnel vision field of view, so that they can get a better image, so they can regain the sight that they lose from having no peripheral vision. And that's what the RP visor's for. And then, the Visor Mark II, that's the one for those who have no sight at all, it reproduces the electrical impulse they would normally get from the eye by capturing the information via the three-dimensional sensor, and vibrating the zygomatic arch to represent that information with sound into the inner cochlea, without cutting off normal hearing.
Wow. Is that invasive or non-invasive?
Non-invasive, non-surgical. The visual information that's captured by the 3D-sensor ends up in the visual cortex, so, it's not exactly like sight yet, but it's a good representation of, like, blobs of people, in color. It helps with proximity and shows distance, so, in a normal situation where people have a cane that operates over a meter or a meter-and-a-half in distance, this goes about 20 feet, and produces a lot more information than people would normally get.
Very cool. And for people with tunnel vision, you've already tested this?
Yeah. This is ready to go, we have a video I can show you of people who have RP, testing it out. It's kind of like watching a cat trying to get its bearings in a moving vehicle for the first time somebody uses it but, once they get it, it's like them seeing for the first time.
Who was the first person you gave it to?
The first person I gave it to was a guy named Noah. He was a person that I met at a summer camp, and he was my boss at this camp that I worked at. And he was the first person to actually physically put these on and then try it out, and he confirmed that they worked to his specifications. This is the new version of it.
How did that make you feel?
It was great. It's really heartwarming to see this person use it for the first time. I originally developed the visor for people who are completely blind but I realized that was the wrong solution for people that still retained some vision. The RP visor was designed so that people who had tunnel vision, glaucoma, those kinds of things, could see normally. And it solves problems with night-blindness glare issues, and then it's also been talked about to experiment with pilots that have experienced tunnel vision in tailspins solving problems with color, certain types of color blindness but the the benefit of, of going to this model from the earlier version is, this is now wireless and self-contained. I guess blind people have a big problem with wires.
Are you using existing tools and then putting them together, or are you creating everything from scratch?
This uses existing technologies and puts them all together to make one design. The next phase will be a manufactured product that's smaller, more efficient and lasts longer. This battery only lasts for three hours. I'd like to make a version that lasts at least six hours so that, you know, people can use it recreationally if they want to, or if they need to, to have a better quality of life.
What, what inspired you to get into this space in the first place?
What inspired me was my grandfather. He had RP and it sort of robbed him of the latter years of his life. He couldn't mix drinks anymore, he couldn't do the things that he used to, and it really reduced his quality of life down to a crawl. And he died before I was able to get these done, but I found other people who have the same condition and they're benefiting from it, and I'd like to have everybody that has a similar condition be able to benefit from it.
That's awesome. That must feel incredibly rewarding, knowing that it works.
Yeah, it's definitely heartwarming to be able to create something and solve a problem that people have. But it's not until you actually see somebody put it on for the first time that you can really get those warm fuzzies, when you somebody that has that look on their face, knowing that their life is never gonna be the same again.
This is the new, remodeled version. The previous version of this guy had cords that came off it and had a small battery pack and a camera that sat on top. This version's much more sleek in its design as far as the wireless tracking system goes and it's all self-contained. Later versions, hopefully, will get it all much smaller and much, much better for people to use, much more obtainable.
If you could solve a problem outside of this, completely, if there was some other topic that you could tackle what would it be?
I've done a lot of research into diabetes. Cerebral palsy, I had a couple ideas for. But, you know, I've got theories about genetic modifications of yeast, to make glowing wine and stuff I think would be kind of fun to do. Make glowing beer? That'd be kind of neat.
The electrical engineering part of doing these kinds of things is a pain in the ass, but the science part is just really interesting. Taking this from an idea to actually making a physical product, is, you know, I never thought I'd actually make it, I thought it was gonna stay an idea for ever. Hpefully the other ideas I have, I'll also be able to make into physical things.
Are you able to work on this full time?
No, I have a consulting company that I do to help fund these projects. But, yeah, I run a tech consulting company out of Colorado and a non-profit as well, so, this takes up the rest of my free time. Every available hour I have, I spend doing this kind of stuff:- developing, building, creating and programming, whatever it needs.
Have you got a community of people helping you on these side projects?
I do, yeah. It's really interesting to see that people are really willing to get behind this. I don't have much money to pay people, but people really believe in the end goal of these products, and so they're willing to donate their time and expertise and efforts to create something that will ultimately, one day, make blindness and low vision a choice, instead of a consequence of age, or genetics.

Some perspective:
On 9/11, 4 flights were hijacked. 246 people died in aircraft that day.
According to my calculations, in any given hour in the US, 225,250 are in the air.
I arrived at this by taking flights/day in the US, and then multiplying that by an average occupancy of 106.
So, even if you were IN THE AIR at the time of the 9/11 attacks, your chances of dying were
246 in 225,250
or .001
or 1 tenth of 1 percent.
I know this is precious little comfort for those who loved the ones who died, but it does put our airport and flight safety neurosis into perspective, IMO.
Call me crazy, but I'd rather go through a normal metal detector, sit in a big, comfy seat, and take those chances.

Poor Service
OK, this may be a little out of the ordinary to post here,. I usually post blogs on marketing advice. But this time I am looking for some advice. While I deal with dealers all the time and am 100% familiar with the Fixed Ops process, I am now a consumer, with a vehicle that has a recall problem, and the dealerships within a 30 mile radius of me are just awful. I have had two neighbours have terrible experiences with customer service and one had a very poor repair job done, due to carelessness by the technician. The consumer reviews for both my nearest dealership, and the one 20 miles away are just awful.
I know they are busy with recall work and this is affecting how they treat their customers which does lower the ratings. But, there is also a valid problem at these two dealerships. A lack of caring about the customer, and poor quality work. Ihave used the one closest to me in the past and it was the worst service experience I have ever had. I have to use one of them, I have no choice, my vehicle is due for its first service and it is an important item to take care of (not an airbag thank goodness!)
Any ideas on how a consumer can better interact with the service department to ensure a better service experience and that my vehicle is repaired correctly, and not sloppily serviced? Might seem like a silly question but hey, I would welcome the advice and who knows, some good could come of it:) Thanks!
Hello Sara!
Being a BDC Manager/Client Experience Manager, I wanted to see if my input had value for you. It sounds like it's not a surprise to the community that these dealerships have that reputation. As a professional apologizer and fire-putter-outter, I find that the best way that our consumers get the treatment they need the second time+ around, is to talk to the powers-that-be. Be it the Service Manager, BDC/Client Experience Manager, or even the General Manager. Express your discontent and the reoccuring cycle of poor service.
Most people are uncomfortable with the thought. It's a hassle. But 1 person speaks out for 3 other people who feel the same way. Sometimes you have to be that 1 person. I've had customers who have had negative service experiences, mainly because of the wait time, and all it really takes is a phone call to make up for lost time. Sometimes as the dealer, being as we are not perfect, fall short on customer expectation. We may need to compensate for our customer's discontent, to not only strengthen our retention, but to put the good word of our Dealership in other people's mind. Every little thing affects us in the long run.
There are people in the organization who care (I mean, hopefully!), you just need to find the one who stands for the company and will go that extra mile for you. As a consumer you have trusted the company with hundreds-thousands of dollars, be it for a long-term investment or repairs. It is the dealer's responsiblity to assure your satisfaction and safety. Let them know where they are falling short so they may overcome the reputation they have built for you. And if they don't do anything? Maybe it's worth the extra mile to go elsewhere.
Yikes, its kinda amazing (and a big bummer) that the question even has to be asked. You would think you could just show up and work with any service advisor.
Unfortunately, if you dont have confidnece in that, Id call the service manager or GM if there was a concern.
Hi Sara,
I would suggest calling the GM and expressing that you are concerned by some of the reviews you have read about his dealership. Then expalin that you would like to be able to write an ultra positive review to help him reverese the effects of the negative ones, but in order to do that, you have to have an experiece that warrants the positive review. I think you will find that the red carpet may be awaiting you when you arrive. And if not, well that speaks volumes about the dealership.
Good luck!
Thanks so much for the great advice! I was thinking of contacting management I'll let you know how it goes.

"Blake wrote in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"
by Lrain0505
William Blake (1757-1827) was a English poet, painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.
Blake was commisioned to create engravings for Dante's Divine Comedy, he complete seven.
The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1790-1793) Blake describes a visit to Hell similar to Dante.
