TeamRGE and GeekOut 365 are hosting a live webinar on January 17th!
We're collaborating with TeamRGE to put on a live webinar on January 17th, focusing on remote graphics in desktop virtualization. The content from the event will be available on GeekOut 365 after the event.
[Update, January 5, 2018: The registration link is now live, here.]
When we set out to create GeekOut 365, we wanted to create a centralized platform, full of expert-led content, for the entire EUC community. Today, we're excited to announce that TeamRGE and GeekOut 365 are collaborating on a free upcoming live event that will take that vision to the next level!
What is TeamRGE?
TeamRGE (or Remote Graphics Experience) is a group of desktop virtualization experts that are, at least in part, focused on the graphical experience of end users. Started by Ruben Spruijt, Benny Tritsch, and Shawn Bass, it counts experts from around the world as its members. Some work for vendors, others as consultants, but everyone is focused on delivering the best possible graphical experience to remote desktop and application users.
You can learn more at TeamRGE.com.
What is the event?
On Wednesday, January 17, 2018, TeamRGE will be hosting a free event in conjunction with GeekOut 365. The event will consist of many ten or twenty minute sessions covering all areas of desktop virtualization, but with a strong emphasis on graphics. Among the topics we expect to include are: public cloud and datacenter-based GPUs, accurately measuring user experience, benchmarking, and display protocols.
Sessions are being chosen from submissions made by the members of TeamRGE now, so the content and agenda have yet to be finalized. We'll have more information in the coming weeks.
The event itself will be live in the form of a webinar. You'll be able to tune in for the sessions you want to watch, and if you can't watch a specific session, you'll be able to find it on GeekOut 365 soon after the webinar is complete. We'll also make the sessions available as audio-only podcasts.
How can you attend?
We're still working out the details, so block your calendar on January 17 and check back here in a week or two. By then we'll have a registration page (it's free, but we want to get an idea of how many are attending) and more session information.
We're very excited about this collaboration, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to do many more in the future!

I could look at this picture for hours – the rose in a glass. I don't know why but I guess it's the simplicity that is not too tiring for the eyes. Every now and then flowers are a beautiful motif and I love to have fresh flowers in my apartment.

Austin – 1st Saturday Ride
A friendly reminder – the first Saturday ride is tomorrow, Sept 1st. This month's ride is the Kendalia loop. While it is all pavement, it does include some exceptionally fun paved twisties.
For those note already familiar with this ride: The Austin TARA (Texas Adventure Riders Association) Chapter sponsors a monthly dual sport adventure ride the first Saturday of every month. All riders are invited to attend.
We meet at 8:30 am at the Texaco gas station/convenience store, 18901 Hamilton Pool Road, Dripping Springs, 78620 (intersection of Hwy 12 and Hamilton Pool Rd/3238). Stands up at 9 am.
Every month we ride a different route to keep things interesting. The planned routes include both paved and off-pavement riding and are suitable for any street-legal dual sport adventure bike.
There is no designated ride leader for the monthly ride (i.e. no one is in charge). Riders self-organize into small groups and then enjoy a fun day in the Texas hill country.
What if the weather is bad? The ride still occurs. There is a chance you may be the only rider to show up, but the ride is never cancelled. This way, no matter what the weather forecast, those riders who want to ride always have a scheduled ride.
What if there is an event (such as a rally) scheduled for that same weekend? The first Saturday ride is still on. This way those riders who aren't attending the other ride/rally have a scheduled Saturday ride they can attend.
What if someone else is organizing a day ride on Sunday? All other rides are in addition to the Saturday ride, not a replacement for the Saturday ride.
The first Saturday ride is never cancelled. It is always on.

A dental crown is a cap that fits over a tooth to increase its size or improve on its shape. Crowns also strengthen a tooth and give it a better overall appearance. They are used when a tooth has weakened, broken or has a large filling, to cover implants and to hold a bridge together.
Crowns can be metal, porcelain fused to metal, all-resin, all-porcelain or all-ceramic. Metal crowns are the most durable without causing problems to opposing teeth. Temporary crowns made of steel or acrylic may be used while the permanent ones are made by the lab.
The procedure for a crown begins with an x-ray to see the condition of the tooth's root and to assess the bone surrounding it. A root canal may be required if there is a lot of decay. The dentist will numb the area around the tooth and file it down to make room for the new crown. If a lot of the tooth is missing, it may need to be built up a bit before receiving the crown.
The next step is making an impression of the tooth for the crown. Impressions of the opposing tooth are also made to determine a proper fit for the bite. If a porcelain crown is to be used, the dentist will pick a color that matches the other teeth. A temporary crown will be fitted at this time to protect the tooth until the new one is ready.
The following visit entails the fitting and checking the color of the new crown. If everything is as it should be, the dentist will cement it permanently into place.
A dental crown will last anywhere from five to 15 years, with proper oral care and no bad habits such as nail biting, grinding or clenching. Cost can vary, depending on the type of crown used. The average is $500 to $900. The procedure or parts thereof may be covered by insurance and the patient should check with their carrier before proceeding.

Downer, Visionstream win 50M of Chorus maintenance contracts
7 Jul 2019
Chorus has hired Downer EDI and Cimic Group's Visionstream to maintain its copper and fibre telecommunications network for the next three years at a cost of about $450 million. The new contracts cut out Broadspectrum, which along with Downer and Visionstream was one of Chorus's existing maintenance contractors. Under the new framework, Visionstream will cover Auckland and all areas north of Auckland, while Downer gets the rest of New Zealand. The maintenance deals are separate to the ultrafast broadband installation. Broadspectrum is still a contractor on the first tranche of the UFB build, which finishes this year, and the principal contractor on the UFB2 build, which runs to the end of 2022. The new arrangements come as Chorus overhauls its supply chain in response to a critical review of the way it managed the contracting out of most of its network UFB construction and maintenance. A MartinJenkins report in April found the model was appropriate to manage unexpected surges in demand and let the service firms scale up or down to meet the required work. However, the risk of migrant exploitation wasn't well-understood by any of the parties, and a Labour Inspectorate investigation discovered widespread issues. "These contracts are the first step in moving Chorus beyond the major UFB network build and connect programmes and into an operating model that provides the ongoing experience our customers expect," Chorus general manager of network and field management Andrew Carroll said in a statement. "We have chosen partners who we are confident will deliver the right overall results, not just the cheapest option." In 2009, Visionstream introduced the sub-contracting model to Chorus before it was carved out of Telecom Corp. The work had previously sat with Downer and Broadspectrum and largely relied on direct employees. Chorus said it expects there will be an opportunity for Broadspectrum staff on the maintenance contracts to move to Downer, which will need to hire new workers. The shares last traded at $6.28. They have climbed 29 percent so far this year, making them the third-best performance on the S&P/NZX 50 Index.

Authentic Assessment for Early Childhood Education EECERA Annual Conference Prague 31 st August 2007 Avril Sweeney, Ireland
Presentation overview 1. Key points – Authentic Assessment for Early Childhood Education 2. Authentic Assessment in Action – applying Vygotsky's messages to assessment practice 3. Images from Kara's Learning Journey
Part 1. Key points – Authentic Assessment for Early Childhood Education Introduction Tensions in assessing young children The influence of Developmental Theory The emergence of a socio-cultural perspective The problematic nature of putting theory into practice Offering an alternative path Documenting learning and development
Part 2. Authentic Assessment in Action Kara's Learning Journey
1. Engage children in conversation Vygotsky believed that language presents the shared experience necessary for building cognitive development. He viewed having conversations with adults about everyday experiences, family and interests as central to building children's language, solving problems and interpreting their own experiences.
Engage children in conversation Friends talking and listening interpreting experiences
Engage children in conversation Painting interacting communicating building language
2. Utilise the child's ZPD Vygotsky placed huge emphasis on the importance of observation and believed that this was the only reliable way a practitioner could assess what was within a child's ZPD. He believed the adult should act as a scaffold by providing challenging learning opportunities that extend existing knowledge, skills or dispositions.
Utilise the child's ZPD A problem with names scaffolding joint problem solving
Utilise the child's ZPD Decisions, decisions expressing ideas making choices following special interests directing own learning
3. Plan a meaningful and challenging curriculum Vygotsky's theory on the ZPD encourages practitioners to plan a curriculum which is meaningful to the child and follows individual interests and ideas. An environment that facilitates learning in a context that is meaningful to children's life experiences, optimises learning and development.
Plan a meaningful and challenging curriculum Boats float testing ideas using prior knowledge offering explanations
Plan a meaningful and challenging curriculum Kara had a little lamb developing special interests supporting learning through meaningful experiences
4. Encourage children to work together Vygotsky believed that social and cognitive development worked hand in hand and emphasised the importance of families, communities and other children. Through interaction and conversation they learn about communication, develop ideas, solve problems and negotiate.
Encourage children to work together Does it sink or does it float? taking responsibility communicating scaffolding
Conclusion One of the most useful aspects of Vygotsky's work to the area of assessment is the concept of the ZPD. Through the observation of children, the practitioner can utilise the ZPD to scaffold children's progress towards a higher level of learning and development. Vygotsky's concept on the differing zones of proximal development has the potential to lead authentic assessment techniques and provide a realistic focus for the next steps in teaching and learning. This form of authentic assessment has much to offer early childhood practice whilst maintaining the integrity of a constructivist approach to teaching and learning in early childhood.

Both are good. But in which institution, you are pursuing these PGs makes the difference.

Actor By Day, Uber Driver by Night
With the rise of Uber, TaskRabbit and other on-demand services, more people are working in the "gig" economy – stringing freelance jobs to make ends meet. There's a whole category of people who are way ahead of the game. Actors. According to the National Endowment for the Arts, less than a quarter of actors are employed full-time in their profession. Many have learned to make ends meet by taking freelance jobs that fit around audition schedules and shoots.
So freelance work becomes more common, Daniel Rostas asked a number of New York actors how they've learned to make ends meet.
Celebrating Passover at a Mosque
This is Uptown Radio. I'm Daniel Rostas. We're all searching for something. It could be a new job, it could be a little bit of peace and quiet… it could be a new way to connect with other people. On this episode of Uptown Radio, stories about the thing we don't have, yet, and the lengths we go to get it.
Newark Airport Expands Flights and Cheaper Airfares
If you fly into or out of Newark Airport, more flight options and cheaper airfares may be in your future.
The Federal Aviation Administration – or FAA – says it's loosening restrictions on the number of flights taking off and landing at the New Jersey airport.
Daniel Rostas went to find out what this change will mean for Newark Airport and the passengers and airlines that use it.
HIV activists protest high drug costs
While doctors celebrate the first HIV organ transplant, HIV activist groups rallied in cities around the world to protest what they say is a critical issue for people with chronic health issues – high drug costs. They marched to Pfizer headquarters in New York. Daniel Rostas stopped by the protest to find out more about their demands.
After Same-Sex Marriage, Not Quite the Honeymoon – A Commentary by Daniel Rostas
It's been less than a year since the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same sex marriage in all 50 states. That decision marked a major milestone for the LGBT community.
But as commentator Daniel Rostas argues, the country has a long way to go in terms of accepting its non-straight citizens.
Does Staten Island Get Enough Transit Funding?
The 1 Train isn't stopping at South Ferry this weekend. If you live on Staten Island, that means one less transit option to get you to the rest of the city – and that's after you take the ferry.
Some residents say the borough is a transit desert, with the current system failing to move customers both on and off the island efficiently.
With major transit projects around the city getting billions of dollars in funding, reporter Daniel Rostas went to find out: why isn't Staten Island getting the same transit investments as other boroughs?
Can You Get Good Quality Sleep On The Subway?
The NYPD says crime on the subways is up almost thirty percent this year compared to last – that number includes slashings, sexual assault and robberies. And half of those crimes happened to sleeping passengers. That has cops asking riders to stay awake on the subway – and in some cases, threatening to wake them up. So if police get serious about stopping subway snoozing, will New Yorkers lose a real source of restful sleep? Daniel Rostas reports.
Former NYPD Officer Peter Liang Convicted of Manslaughter
The day after a jury convicted Police Officer Peter Liang in the death of 28 year old Akai Gurley – Residents of the housing project where Gurley lived are reacting to the verdict. Reporter Daniel Rostas has the details.

Chapter 15
"I should've known better than to let the two of ye go running off on yer own," a blustering voice greeted loudly as Drizzt and Catti-brie entered the Cutlass in Luskan. Bruenor and Regis sat at the bar, across from Arumn Gardpeck, both looking a bit haggard still from their harrowing journey.
"I didn't think you would come out," Drizzt remarked, pulling a seat up beside his friends. "It is late in the season."
"Later than you think," Regis mumbled, and both Drizzt and Catti-brie turned to Bruenor for clarification.
"Bah, a little storm and nothing to fret about," the dwarf bellowed.
"Little to a mountain giant," Regis muttered quietly, and Bruenor gave a snort.
"Fix up me friend and me girl here with a bit o' the wine," Bruenor called to Arumn, who was already doing just that. As soon as the drinks were delivered and Arumn, with a nod to the pair, started away, the red-bearded dwarfs expression grew very serious.
"So where's me boy?" he asked.
"With Deudermont, sailing on Sea Sprite, as far as we can tell," Catti-brie answered.
"Not in port here," Regis remarked.
"Nor in Waterdeep, though they might put in before winter," Drizzt explained. "That would be Captain Deudermont's normal procedure, to properly stock the ship for the coming cold season."
"Then they'll likely sail south," Catti-brie added. "Not returning to Waterdeep until the spring."
Bruenor snorted again, but with a mouthful of ale, and wound up spitting half of it over Regis, "Then why're ye here?" he demanded. "If me boy's soon to be in Waterdeep, and not back for half a year, why ain't ye there seeing to him?"
"We left word," Drizzt explained.
"Word?" the dwarf echoed incredulously. "What word might that be? Hello? Well met? Keep warm through the winter? Ye durn fool elf, I was counting on ye to bring me boy back to us."
"It is complicated," Drizzt replied.
Only then did Catti-brie note that both Arumn Gardpeck and Josi Puddles were quietly edging closer, each craning an ear the way of the four friends. She didn't scold them, though, for she well understood their stake in all of this.
"We found Delly," she said, turning to regard the two of them in turn. "And the child, Colson."
"How fares my Delly?" asked Arumn, and Catti-brie didn't miss the fact that Josi Puddles was chewing his lip with anticipation. Likely that one was sweet on the girl, Catti-brie recognized.
"She does well, as does the little girl," Drizzt put in. "Though even as we arrived, we found them in peril."
All four of the listeners stared hard at those ominous words.
"Sheila Kree, the pirate, or so we believe," Drizzt explained. "For some reason that I do not yet know, she took it upon herself to send a raiding party to Waterdeep."
"Looking for me boy?" Bruenor asked.
"Or looking to back off Deudermont, who's been chasing her all season," remarked Arumn, who was well versed in such things, listening to much of the gossip from the many sailors who frequented his tavern.
"One or the other, and so we have returned to find out which," Drizzt replied.

Modern-Day American Imperialism: The Middle East and Beyond part 3
0 (0 Likes / 0 Dislikes)
They called for what they called "an integrated policy to achieve military and economic supremacy" for the United States and bar any exercise of sovereignty by anyone who would interfere with it. And they would do this in a region that they called the "grand area." Well, in the early part of the war, 1939 to 1943, the grand area was defined as the western hemisphere routinely, the former British Empire (which the US would take over), and the Far East. That would be the grand area. They assumed at the time that there would be a German-led world—the rest. So there would be a non-German world (that's us) and a German world. As the Russians gradually ground down the Nazi armies after 1942, it became pretty clear that there wouldn't be a German world. So the grand area was expanded to be as much of the world as could be controlled — limitless. That's simply pursuing the old position that expansion is the path to security for the infant empire of 1736. These policies were laid down during the war, but then they were implemented right after the war. In fact, now that we have available in the declassified record the planning documents of the late 1940s, it turns out they're (not very surprisingly) very similar to the wartime planning. One of the leading figures was George Kennan, who was head of the State Department policy planning staff. He wrote one of his many important papers in 1948 (PPS23 if you want to look it up), in which he noted that the United States has half the world's wealth but only 6% of its population, and our primary goal in foreign policy must be, as he put it, to "maintain this disparity." And in order to do so, we must put aside all "vague and idealistic slogans" about democracy and human rights. Those are for public propaganda, colleges, and so on. But we must put those aside and keep to "straight power concepts." There's no other way to maintain the disparity. Then, in the same paper and elsewhere, he and his staff went through the world and assigned to each part of the world what would be what they called its function in the global system in which the US would have unchallenged power—unquestioned power. So, Latin America and the Middle East: The Middle East obviously would provide the energy resources that we would control, gradually pushing out Britain— throwing out France immediately and pushing out Britain slowly over the years and turning it into a "junior partner," as the British Foreign Office ruefully described their role at that time. Latin America we simply control. It's "our little region over here, which has never bothered anyone," as Secretary of War Stimson said while the US was violating the principles it was establishing by setting up a regional organization in violation of the UN Charter, and so on. So, Latin America we keep, or at least we control. Southeast Asia would be—its function was to provide resources and raw materials to the former colonial powers. Meanwhile, we would purchase them, too. That would send dollars there, which the colonial powers would take, not the population. And they could use those. Britain, France, the Netherlands could use the dollars to purchase US manufactures. (It's called a triangular trading arrangement), which would allow… The US had the only really functioning industrial system in the world and had a huge excess of manufacturing products, and there was what was called a "dollar gap." The countries we wanted to sell it to didn't have dollars—that's Europe, basically. So we had to provide them with dollars, and the function of Southeast Asia was to play a role in that. Hence the support for French colonialism in recapturing its Indochinese colony, and so on. There were various variations, but that's the basic story. And so Kennan went through the world and assigned them a function each part. When he got to Africa, he decided that the United States really didn't have much interest in Africa at that time, and therefore we should hand it over to the Europeans to "exploit" (that's his word)—to "exploit" for their reconstruction. He indicated that it would also give them a kind of a psychological lift after the damage of the war and while we were taking over all of their domains. Well, you could imagine a different relationship between Europe and Africa in the light of history, but that couldn't even be considered. I mean, it was too outlandish to discuss and still is. So Africa was to be exploited by Europe for its reconstruction, with consequences we know. The US has since gotten into the act. Well, that was Kennan. He was removed from office soon after because he was considered too soft-hearted— not up to dealing with this harsh world. And he was replaced with real tough guys: Dean Acheson, Paul Nitze, and others. There's no time to go through it, but if you want an education on hysterical jingoist fanaticism, you really should read their documents. If you study these issues, you've heard of at least NSC68, which is discussed by everyone but its rhetoric is omitted. And you have to look at its rhetoric to see what's going on in these crazed heads of the great thinkers. And this is true of the whole National Security Council culture. There's a wonderful book on it that came out a couple of years ago by James Peck, a Sinologist, called Washington's China. It's the first scholarly book to go through the whole National Security culture. And it's like reading a collection of madmen. But it's very much worth studying, much more worth studying than most of what people study in their courses on these issues. Well, anyway, what do we do about Latin America? It's our domain. Well, Kennan was pretty explicit about that, too. He said in Latin America we should prefer police states. The reason is that, as he said, harsh government measures of repression should cause no qualms as long as the results are on balance favorable to our interests— in particular, as long as we guarantee the protection of "our resources." Our resources happen to be somewhere else, but that's a historical accident. They're our resources, and we have to protect them, and if you have to do it by the mailed fist, okay, that's the way you do it. As I say, he was removed. There is a long, ugly history. There's no time to go through it, but the Cold War history essentially follows this pattern. The Cold War was a kind of a tacit compact between the superpower and the smaller power, the United States and Russia. The compact was that the United States would be free to carry out violence and terror and atrocities with few limits in its own domains, and the Russians would be able to run their own dungeon without too much US interference. So the Cold War in effect was a war of the United States against the Third World, and of Russia against its much smaller domains in Eastern Europe. And the events of the Cold War illustrate that. Each great power used the other's threats as a pretext for repression and violence and destruction, the United States way more than Russia if you look at the record, reflecting their relative power. But that's essentially the picture. In fact, for the United States, the Cold War was basically a war against independent nationalism in the Third World —what was called "radical nationalism." "Radical" means "doesn't follow orders." So, there's this constant struggle against radical nationalism, and in particular, the leading thesis all the way through is that even the smallest place if it becomes independent is a serious danger. It's what Henry Kissinger called a virus that might infect others. Like, even a tiny place—Grenada, or something. If it has successful independent development, others might get the idea that we can follow, the rot will spread as Acheson put it. So you've got to stamp it out right at the source. It's not a novel idea. Any mafia don will explain it to you. The Godfather does not tolerate it when some small storekeeper doesn't pay protection money. Not that he needs the money. But it's a bad idea. Others might get the idea. And in particular small, weak countries have to be—we have to crush them with particular violence because there it's easy. Nobody can stop you. And others get the point. That's a large part of international affairs right to the present.

HLP guidance and Resources
Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) self-assessment
On the day of the review, the pharmacy is a Healthy Living Pharmacy level 1 (self-assessment).
PSNC guidance and resources to support contractors to meet this criterion
28th April 2017
OR 24th November 2017*
1.Community pharmacy contractors who wish to become a Healthy Living Pharmacy (HLP) Level 1 must be able to meet the 27 quality criteria (tinyurl.com/HLPLevel1) developed by the HLP Task Group of the Pharmacy and Public Health Forum, which has been published by Public Health England (PHE).
This can be claimed at the November claim point.
Action: Read and Print HLP level 1 checklist and PHE HLP self-assessment guidance for your reference. The LPC will be providing further guidance and support to help you achieve this In due course. We are currently working with public health teams to formulate local support guidance to support you.
2.Contractors must be able to provide evidence for each of the quality criteria and may be required to make this available for inspection. The evidence should be collated in a folder in the event there is a quality assurance or monitoring visit and should demonstrate ongoing activity to engage with the HLP Process.
The LPC will be supporting commissioning of a folder with a workbook to support you to achieve this and also to use the folder to keep your evidence . This folder will be sent to all contractors who have registered for HLP champion training and leadership.
3.The LPC are supporting contractors to achieve 2 criteria through the provision of HLP leadership Training and providing HLP champion training for pharmacy staff ( x 1 funded place). This will help you achieve 2 out of the 27 criteria you need to achieve.
Action: The deadline is to complete the HLP champion training is within 8 weeks of receipt as per your declaration and our agreement with health education england when ordered so please complete this as soon as you possibly can to achieve this criteria and Pharmacy Complete are supporting us to follow this up and complete the accreditation process

4.The HLP concept is a vision to to develop community pharmacies from being suppliers of medicines to become Healthy Living Centres providing self-care advice and treatment for common ailments and healthy lifestyle interventions, in addition to providing the safe supply and use of prescribed medicines in everyday practice.
There are three levels of service delivery within the HLP framework: Level 1: Promotion – Promoting health, wellbeing and self-care (in July 2016, Level 1 changed from a commissioner-led process to a profession-led self-assessment process); At a later stage the aim is to work towards Level 2 and 3 .Level 2 being about prevention through service delivery (commissioner led) and level 3 being about Protection through provision of treatment. The achievement of Level 1 status will support us in the long term to gain more commissioned services for delivery.
5.Below are links to the checklist of the 27 quality criteria which pharmacy teams need to achieve to gain HLP Level 1 status:
A HLP Level 1 Evidence Portfolio Workbook which pharmacy teams can use to guide them through the HLP quality criteria and assist them with recording their evidence to show they have reached HLP Level 1 is available below:

UC Riverside Students Encouraged to "Choose to Snooze"
Week-long campaign beginning March 5 to promote the health benefits of sleep
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (www.ucr.edu) — For some, college life is synonymous with days full of classes, long nights of studying and the occasional party. Sleep? Sleep is an afterthought. But a week-long campaign aimed at tired University of California, Riverside students is looking to change that mindset by encouraging them to make sleep a priority.
Running March 5-11, UCR's Sleep/Nap Campaign coincides with National Sleep Awareness Week, sponsored by the National Sleep Foundation. The program falls during the ninth week of UCR's Winter Quarter, a time where students are ramping up their studying in preparation for final exams.
"Students who don't get enough rest often feel tired, stressed and sluggish and have difficulty focusing," said Devon Sakamoto, coordinator of health education initiatives for The Well. "Students are often amazed at how much better they feel and perform when they are well rested."
Research by the National Sleep Foundation shows that teenagers need between 8.5 and 9.25 hours of sleep per night, while adults 18 and over need between seven and nine hours. A study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health in February 2010 revealed that over 60% of the college students surveyed were categorized as poor-quality sleepers, with emotional and academic stress negatively impacting sleep. Students who were considered poor-quality sleepers reported suffering more physical and psychological health problems than good-quality sleepers.
"There is a lack of knowledge about the benefits of sleep for stress and performance," said UCR Professor of Psychology Sara Mednick, author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life. "Sleep is the first thing to go when people get stressed, but unfortunately it is also the best antidote to stress."
Mednick will present a sleep seminar for graduate and international students on Wednesday, March 7 at 1:30 p.m. in HUB 260. She will discuss her research on the benefits getting a good night's sleep and try to break some of the negative stereotypes that surround the idea of a midday nap.
"That is one reason we are doing this research, to show through scientific discovery that sleep is important," she said.
Also scheduled for Wednesday is the No Stress Sleep Fest, which runs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Bell Tower. The festival will feature helpful resources about sleeping, napping and managing stress, as well as free food, massages, stress relief and other "soothing activities."
"We will have nap chairs where students can relax and take a nap," Sakamoto said.
On Friday, March 9, "Nap-Ins" will be held at in the Associated Students Program Board Offices in HUB 111, HUB 260, and the International Education Center in University Village Suite 204. Students can check in at one of the three napping spaces between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Throughout the week, students will be able to pick up a free nap kit, featuring an eye mask, earplugs and a tip-sheet with information about napping.
The Sleep/Nap Campaign is sponsored by UCR's Student Wellness Partners, including the Counseling Center, International Education Center, Campus Health Center, Student Recreation Center, The Well, The Dean of Students and Housing, Dining & Residential Services.

Get ready for some great content coming to your inbox from the team at UserTesting!
Getting people to download your app is a challenge.
And even if you do, getting users to come back a second time can be even harder.
Research has shown that 20% of the time they download an app, use it once, and never use it again. And 95% of downloaded apps are abandoned within a month.
[clickToTweet tweet="If you don't immediately deliver a great experience, users close your app and forget about it" quote="If you don't immediately deliver a great experience, users close your app and forget about it"]
That being said, it's important to deliver value to your users as quickly as possible. And to illustrate what they looks like in action, here are 3 examples of mobile apps that give their users tons of value and a delightful experience—and a quick breakdown of what makes them great.
Instacart makes it easy for new users to get started and figure out what they're supposed to do. The signup workflow is fast, effective, and well-designed.
Here's what one test participant said about the signup process:
"It's super easy to do each step. I hate when it's all on the same page because it feels like it takes forever. But when you just do a couple things at a time it feels like it's easier and doesn't take as long."
And Instacart's intuitive interface makes it easy to figure out what to do once you start interacting with the app. Everything about the app is smooth and easy: from the search functionality and navigation to the visual representation of groceries and the shopping cart workflow.
Adding things to your cart is a cinch, and Instacart remembers your payment information so you don't have to type in your credit card information every time you buy something. It also remembers your address so you basically spend no time filling out forms (which is awesome because forms on mobile are a nightmare).
Uber gives its users the result they want as quickly as possible, with little to no effort on their part. You just tap three buttons and someone comes to pick you up and take you where you need to go.
And since your payment information is already saved in the app, you don't have to carry cash or a card with you to pay the driver. Once you get dropped off, Uber automatically charges you for the ride.
Like Forrester Analyst Leah Buley said, "The magic is no longer in the machine; it's in the machine's ability to make life better." I've used Uber several times a week for the past year, and it's definitely made my life easier.
[clickToTweet tweet="The magic is no longer in the machine. It's in the machine's ability to make life better @leahbuley" quote="The magic is no longer in the machine. It's in the machine's ability to make life better"]
Quora has a beautiful interface. But what makes Quora's UX great isn't the way that the app is designed—it has nothing to do with UI, information architecture, or the layout.
What makes it great is that there are incredibly influential people on Quora answering questions. For example, you can find answers from UX pros like:
And you'll also find business executives at top companies like Sheryl Sandberg (COO of Facebook), Andrew Chen (Supply Growth at Uber), Andy Johns (Former Product Manager of Growth at Facebook and Twitter), and more on Quora.
Quora has seeded their community with thought leaders and experts in almost every field you can think of.
That means you're not just getting answers from random people on the internet, you're getting advice from seasoned veterans who have wisdom and experience to share. And if Quora had the exact same UI design but those people left, the experience would suffer in a big way.
[clickToTweet tweet="What makes Quora's UX great is the community, not just the technology" quote="What makes Quora's UX great is the community, not just the technology"]
That being said, they've also designed the app to make it easy for users to discover high-quality information on topics they care about (without having to dig through dozens of answers to find the best stuff).
And they accomplished that by pairing questions with answers from people you follow—or from someone who has the credibility and experience to answer it authoritatively.
One of the things these apps have in common is how quickly they give you something useful. The time to value is very short. And that's important in an increasingly mobile world where the bar is always being raised.
The more often people use apps with amazing UX, the more they come to expect every app to deliver the same value. And if you can't meet their expectations, they'll just move on to something else that will.

Just imagine what would be possible if everyone in the country was aware of how unhealthy the mainstream media was for our future and started turning to independent sources in droves. Creating a better world really does start with an informed citizenry, and there's lots of subject matter to cover. From all the documentaries above, it's evident that our society needs a new story to belong to.
The old story of empire and dominion over the earth has to be looked at in the full light of day - all of our ambient cultural stories and values that we take for granted and which remain invisible must become visible. But most of all, we need to see the promise of the alternatives - we need to be able to imagine new exciting ways that people could live, better than anything that the old paradigm could ever dream of providing. 33 Free Oscar Winning Films Available on the Web.

PurposeChemotherapy can result in many unpredictable and often debilitating side-effects hence patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment may have to rely on their loved ones to support them through this most challenging period. In view of this possibility then good communication skills between patients, healthcare providers and family members is of paramount importance for effective patient outcomes. The aim of this study therefore, was to explore patients' perceptions of how healthcare providers communicate with them and their family members whilst undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.MethodsUsing a qualitative methodology and a descriptive design, data were collected using unstructured interviews with patients undergoing chemotherapy (n = 14) and analysed by content analysis.ResultsParticipants expressed that both they and their family members were treated with compassion, kindness, empathy and understanding. They appreciated the time given to them and their family members to listen and answer their questions before, during and/or after treatment. In addition they commented positively on the warm and cheerful environment and the selective use of appropriate humour by oncology healthcare providers in the chemotherapy units.ConclusionThe data highlights in particular the positive communication encounters between patients with cancer and their healthcare providers and family members. Oncology nurses were identified as being particularly supportive to both patients and their family members. Despite chemotherapy units being a difficult place to be a part of, this study highlights that healthcare providers can help make this a less daunting place for patients and their family members through their appropriate use of professional communication.

Data synchronization
PfP can synchronize data between multiple devices. How does that work and is it safe?
If PfP doesn't have a server, how can it sync data?
For data synchronization, PfP uses your account at a storage provider like Dropbox. You grant PfP limited access to that account, and PfP will regularly upload its backup file. This file is fully encrypted, same as your manual backup.
Which storage provider should I choose?
You should choose the provider that is most convenient for you, usually meaning the one where you have an account already. If you are still undecided, choose Dropbox. Unlike Google Drive, Dropbox will make the data uploaded by PfP visible to you and allow downloading it. Also, Dropbox support is simpler and should be less error-prone.
Can PfP read my files?
No. PfP requests access only to its own folder at your storage provider. All it can do is read and write files in that folder. In fact, it will only access the file
passwords.json there.
I only installed PfP in one browser, do I need this functionality?
Even without multiple devices, this functionality can be useful. Essentially, it is an automatic backup of your data. If your PfP data is ever lost, you can set up sync again and all your passwords will be recreated. Alternatively, you can download the file from your storage provider manually and import it into PfP.
How often does PfP update my data?
Assuming that you are online, your data will be synchronized with the remote storage every hour. If you want the upload to happen earlier, you can always click "Show sync state" and press "Update now" button there to trigger a sync manually.
What if I change passwords on multiple devices at the same time?
Sync doesn't merely replace passwords, it will merge changes intelligently. So if you add one password on one device and another password on another, after syncing you will get both passwords on all devices. On the other hand, if you change the same password on multiple devices, this conflict cannot be resolved without data loss and whichever device syncs last will win.
What will the storage provider (e.g. Dropbox) see?
The file uploaded to the storage is fully encrypted. So as long as you choose a strong master password, your storage provider will not be able to see any of your data. However, even without decrypting the data the storage provider will know how many passwords for how many websites (not which websites) you have. They will also know that you use PfP and how many devices you are synchronizing.

My most favourite Christmas song of all time :3 I listen to it every Christmas, and I always choose the original version. To me, it's better than any covers of this song. Some people say the Taylor Swift version is way better, but to be honest, no. Don't ruin the beautiful melodies they gave this song. It's unbeatable, irreplaceable.
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart
But the very next day, you gave it away
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special…
I have no one…
Just kidding, I still have my brother to drag everywhere I want. Merry Christmas 🙂

Chloé C's Go Get A Roomie is a fantastic journey of self discovery, human sexuality and those thing's relationship with romance. And one of those great series where you get to see characters grow, develop and change over time.
Heads-up right away, this is not a porn comic, but it tackles human sexuality in a very hands-on way. So everything's about to get pretty NSFW from here.
'Roomie' is a life-loving free-living hippie kinda gal – She loves people, beer and getting naked.
In the beginning she kinda 'knows' everybody, and has a lot of string-free lovin' friendships with folks. But she does love to help people, which, when she meets Lillian, makes things a bit complicated.
Lillian "LT. Lazy Tyke" is her opposite; only having very-strong connections with incredibly few people. Namely her family; as she spends most of her time at home and in bed.
When she wakes up to find Roomie beside her, she's repeatedly woken from her dream-world, and has to choose between leaving the house with her or pushing her out of it.
Over the almost 9 years of GGaR, it's grown from a Menage-a-3 style sexy-comedy (jokes about sex but not actually porn) to a group re-assessing what they want out of life, out of sex, and out of themselves.
And then there's the dazzling array of equally fascinating folks they meet and befriend on their journey;
- Richard, Ramona's twin brother and everyone's favourite B*tch. Pretty much always happy for an ass-slap.
- Ramona, Richard's twin sister, and everyone's favourite Dom, from afar, whose always down to show folks who's the boss.
- Lillian's brother Allen, his fiance Evelyne and their occasional man-lover Steve.
- Mr Kitteh. Meow.
- WOC, the "Wise Old Crone" full of stories, advice, and when the time needs, Sass.
- Aggie, an intersex woman(?) of colour, whose presence varies, as she's kind of in love with Roomie, who doesn't really do romance/attachment.
- Jo, the Bartender. Kilt-wearing, hi-jinx loving, but very quick to shut down a ruckus. His bar is well-decorated with very non-decorative weaponry.
Again, this comic has been going for nearly 9 years now, and I highly recommend it for a complete binge, to fully see these characters grow and change. But for those short on time, here is a good jumping in point, with some context (and some mild spoilers):
"Double The Fun" is the first chapter where the twins Richard & Ramona start to come out of their shells a bit, and contemplate moving out of their disapproving parent's place. It's also got some great humour from everyone, and the start of a long status-quo where Roomie & the twins live with Lillian. Aaaaaand it's just before "The Knight in Furs", a very beautiful dream sequence & story.
If you love a good, long story with an intersectional cast, working through their demons day-by-day, you'd be hard pressed for a more engrossing journey than this one.

Join Us to Stop Bush and Rumsfeld on Iran
Bush has proven he cannot be trusted with foreign policy.
This will be short and to the point. A lot has been written about Bush and Iran since Sy Hersh's New Yorker article, and too little done. This is a time for actions more than blog posts.
We've had confirmation that Bush is considering a preemptive nuclear attack against Iran. This is suicidal madness for America, as I described here. We also have word from Joe Biden yesterday that Democratic senators need a serious kick in the ass to wake up on this issue.
Ladies and gentlemen, put yer steel tip boots on.
We're asking our readers to sign up for our Roots Project, to get together to lobby and meet with their senators in their home states. Since we've had time across the blogosphere to refine our message, here's our current FDL recommended talking points:
Starting a nuclear war against Iran is seriously nuts. It won't just destroy part of Iran: its consequences will destroy America.
Through Iraq, Bush and Rumsfeld have proven they are weak failures who can't be trusted to do the right thing with Iran. Even our military establishment is against Bush and Rumsfeld and is demanding a change in leadership. Rumsfeld must be replaced. Bush's reckless rush to war must be stopped.
Strength begins with leadership, and yet leadership has not yet been tried on Iran. America must cooperate with our allies to contain Iran and promote its democratically inclined people through engagement and tough negotiations. Congress must act to be sure this occurs. Only people who lied about Iraq deny Iran is many years away from developing a nuclear weapon.
To get involved in the Roots Project, contact me according to the instructions in this post.
Getting groups of citizens to show up at the offices of senators and congressmen is an extraordinarily powerful tool. It's underutilized and underappreciated. A handful of people going to an office is worth two thousand emails, letters or phone calls. It works. It shows them we are real people, and takes much less effort to coordinate than a peace march. Please get involved today to stop the next next mindless war against American interests, before it's too late.
I'm on the road this afternoon, but will catch up with your emails tonight, so please be patient.
UPDATE: To get involved, send an email to Pachacutec01 at gmail dot com. Include only your state in the subject line, and please include your commenting name or kos user name in the body of your email if you can.
UPDATE II: Welcome, Crooks and Liars readers. I'm getting good response to this latest appeal for members of the Roots Project, and once I get a few in one state, I set up a google group for you all. I've been so busy setting up groups tonight, however, that google has put a hold on my activity. This happens when I add too many people too quickly, but it passes. I may not get you linked up until tomorrow, but keep the emails coming. We currently have 18 state groups as of 9:03 PM EST 4/17/06, and I'm sure more will be coming online soon.
UPDATE III: I've made the following point several times before, but for the benefit of our new readers, let me make them clear again.
The Roots Project is not a dittohead network. We provide information, infrastructure, support and suggested talking points, but do not micromanage the groups. We are not the right wing. I consult with other leading bloggers on and offline when we put suggested talking points together, but each state based group controls its own messaging. As long as the groups don't do anything Jane, Christy and I would object to, we stay out of the way. The idea is for local groups to gain vitality and learn to coordinate together. In my mind, coherence of message is important, but getting good people active together to have an impact is more important. Just remember, the reason liberals/progressives have been so powerless for so long is because we don't suck it up and work together. Welcome aboard if you decide to join us!

PARIS – Commissioner Maigret resumes service … 90 years after his first appearance in a novel by the Belgian writer Georges Simenon, who disappeared almost 30 years ago.
On the occasion of this double anniversary, the editions Omnibus (Editis group) took the initiative to reissue (30,000 copies) Tout Maigret, that is to say, 103 novels and news gathered in 10 volumes with covers illustrated by Loustal.
In the cinema, the director Patrice Leconte will direct this autumn Daniel Auteuil who will play the role of the curator in a film inspired by the novel Maigret and the young girl. New audiobooks of Maigret are announced.
"At Simenon, everything is good," says academician Goncourt Pierre Assouline. "We should gird our work with a banner entitled" The human condition "and so what if it's already taken.
His colleague from the Goncourt academy Philippe Claudel adds: "There are no little novels of Simenon, just as there are no small thoughts of Pascal."
Pierre Assouline, author of a biography of Georges Simenon (Simenon, Folio) and Philippe Claudel each write a preface to one of the volumes of Omnibus's anthology alongside other writers, including the French Academician Dominique Fernandez, the director Bertrand Tavernier and the actor Bruno Solo.
The name of Maigret first appeared in 1929 under the pen of Simenon (who then signed under the pseudonym of Georges-Martin Georges) in the romantic novel A shadow in the night, but it was under the guise of … of a doctor.
Doctor or commissioner? In his biography of Simenon, Pierre Assouline notes that Commissioner Maigret will later recognize a failed doctor.
In fact, Jules Maigret, the policeman that millions of readers know, appeared for the first time in his qualities in 1930 in Night Train (signed Christian Brulls, another pseudonym Simenon). But he still has only a minor place in the novel.
"No success"
The first "real" Maigret could have been the one investigating The House of Concern, but Simenon felt the novel was a failure and refused to include it in his series.
The first "official" Maigret is Pietr-le-Letton , the first book that Simenon signs with his name. It was published in 1931, but Simenon later recounted it in September 1929 when he was drafted during a stay in Delfzijl in the Netherlands.
This first Maigret is already familiar. Simenon describes it as "enormous and bony" of a "plebeian frame", "the pipe riveted in the jaw" …
The first publisher of Simenon, Artheme Fayard, is hardly convinced by this gruff and cerebral commissioner. It is "unpublishable," he says to Simenon before affirming, Assouline recalls, that the Maigret will have "no success".
Faced with his young author (Simenon is 27 years old) the editor sighs: "We will lose a lot of money, but I want to try the experiment".
We know the rest. Since 1931, 600 million books of Simenon have passed in the world, because Maigret goes far beyond the space of the French-speaking world. The Belgian author is the third most translated French-language author in the world.
The pace of publication is frenetic. Between 1931 and 1934, 19 Maigret are published (the last will be in 1972). The curator Maigret becomes a familiar figure, especially as the cinema gets involved.
As early as 1932, Julien Duvivier directed The Head of a Man, with Harry Baur in the role of Commissioner. Jean Renoir directs his brother Pierre in La nuit du carrefour. Jean Tarride, his father Abel in The yellow dog.
In total, some 70 films and more than 400 TV movies were taken from the 75 novels and 28 new ones with Maigret besides the movies (like Mr. Hire or The widow Couderc ) or TV movies adapted from the Simenon novels without the curator, which the writer named his "hard novels".
Maigret's performers include Michel Simon, Jean Gabin, the American Charles Laughton, the Italian Gino Cervi, the German Heinz Ruhmann. On TV, there was Jean Richard, Bruno Cremer, the Japanese Kinya Aikawa or the British Rowan Atkinson.

(pardon my fat grossness in the picture)
So when me and my husband (and Boo Boo) did the AIDS walk a couple months ago we got a cool ass prize package for raising $500.00. And it was 4 tickets to a V.I.P show of Penn and Teller here in Vegas. It was sooooo much fun! I brought along my sister, her best best, and one of my dear friends from college T.J. First we got to go to a meet and greet and eat fancy shamancy Hor'dourves , as well as take pics with Penn and Teller and get a private magic lesson from Teller (yes he actually talks in real life). Teller sat right at our table and talked with us which was pretty cool. I love his part of the duo because....well first he does all the magic....and second his facial expressions are priceless!
Then we got to see their INCREDIBLE show. I was really really impressed. I've been a fan of Penn and Teller's views from their Showtime show "Bullshit' and love all the things they stir up when it comes to certain topics (especially the political stuff) so I was really happy to see that they incorporated a lot of that into the show. And of course who doesn't love magic tricks??? I felt like a little kid sitting there in awe of the illusions they pulled off, and they were really like nothing I've ever seen before, and I'm a fan of magic!
We had so much fun and it was really great getting outta the house for the night. All three of us ladies are mothers of young kids so it was truly a treat to leave the little buggers with the husbands and have some good old Vegas fun! If you ever find yourself in Sin City be sure to check out the show if you get the chance!!!
This is me on stage. Can you spot me?
