This hasn't been the best week for Tim Tebow. His Jets team was eliminated from playoff contention after suffering a humiliating loss on Monday Night Football, he was leapfrogged on the depth chart by third-stringer Greg McElroy, and now he has reportedly split from girlfriend Camilla Belle. Us Weekly has the scoop:
After less than two months of dating, the New York Jets quarterback and actress Camilla Belle have called it quits, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively.
Explains the source of Tebow, 25, and Belle, 26: "It just didn't work out."
Tebow and the Push actress were first spotted bowling with pals at Latitude 30 in Jacksonville, Florida on Oct. 30. "They were grabbing kisses and holding hands...They were having a great time together," a witness said at the time of the Hollywood beauty and Tebow, a devout Christian who has said he plans to remain a virgin until marriage.
Tough break, Tim. If it's any consolation, I am watching Push (serioiusly) at this very moment, and it is a fucking dreadful movie.

Critical theory and methodology, Volume 3
Sage Publications, 1994 - 381 pages
Critical Theory traces its roots from Marxism, through the renowned Frankfurt School, to a wide array of national and cultural traditions. Raymond Morrow's book traces the history and outlines the major tenets of critical theory for an undergraduate audience. He exemplifies the theory through an analysis of two leading social theorists: J[um]urgen Habermas and Anthony Giddens. Unique to this volume is the emphasis on the link between Critical Theory and empirical research and social science methodology, often thought to be incompatible.

Comedian David Cross said earlier this week in a stand-up routine that he pulled a major no-no at the White House Correspondents' Dinner earlier this year, snorting cocaine while he was "super close to the president" and other White House higher-ups seated near him on a dare from a friend.
Cross said in a stand-up routine Wednesday that he one-upped a friend in a competition to be the most outrageous by pulling out the drug during the annual White House press gala, Politico reported, as the comedian snorted coke just "40 feet" from the leader of the free world.
"It's crazy and there's security, Secret Service is standing there," said Cross, who's starred on TV shows like "Arrested Development" and made appearances in the "Scary Movie" franchise films.
U.S. & World
"I'm there and the president is right here and with all these people at the table," Cross did cocaine -- "maybe 40 feet from the president of the United States!"
The other Washington elite Cross hid the drugs from? Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and "the editor-in-chief of the USA Today," Cross said.
"No way you can ever top that," Cross said he texted his buddy.
Cross said he attended the gala because his "fancy Hollywood actress girlfriend," 24-year-old Amber Tamblyn of "Joan of Arcadia" and "Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" fame, got an invite to the ceremony.
No word on whether the stunt was real -- but Cross claimed in the stand-up routine he had evidence to prove he was telling the truth.
"I've got photos of all of this," he bragged.

The Appling County Board of Commissioners accepted the low bid from Everett Dykes Grassing for the amount of $1,446,881.00 for road resurfacing of 28 miles over all five Appling County Districts. The motion was approved on a split vote with Commissioners Ronnie Rentz and Theodore Wilkerson voting in favor, and Commissioners Sarah Boatright and Charlie Leggett voting against. Chairman Lewis Parker broke the tie by voting in favor of the motion.
After the vote commissioners Rentz, Wilkerson and Chairman Parker stated they would have preferred voting for a local bidder, J. Heirs Company with a bid of $1,515,331.00, but the amount of difference was too great to overlook and would not fall into the county's normal three percent grace range for local bidders.
On split vote, County accepts $1.4 million bid

So, what does a banana split look like in Germany??? I ordered one at the ice cream shop today (and Brenna ordered a Pinocchio) - is it just me, or is this a work of art??? (if it looks like enough for two, it really is - we both left ice cream in our bowls :-)

So, this weekend, with the cool weather here in Germany (only a high in the low 60s!), we decided it was a good time to make our planned day trip to Frankfurt (we didn't want to leave Germany having only seen the airport in Frankfurt, lol!). Sorry, to get some of the landmark pictures in Frankfurt the people are pretty tiny! (I was really surprised that in order to find out what to see in Frankfurt I had to research it on the internet - none of our travel books say much about it!). So, to start our day, we parked in the Old Town area (always a favorite with our travels). We also grabbed lunch in the area - but no one had a frankfurter (I was sure Brenna would want that, but she choose to have Schnitzel instead).

If you were to ask Bitsy, that'd be my mama, why I became a pastry chef, she'd say that it was to make her life all doom and gloom. I'm not going to lie, it was a little satisfying seeing her cringe on the inside when I strategically told her ten years ago in front of her friend at the Rumford Country Club, RCC for short, that I wasn't going to college and heading to pastry school.
Here's a little update. My friend, Charlotte, yep, she got hitched. Chef Emile's murderer has been brought to justice. That's big news, but NOT the biggest.
The biggest new is that I decided to stay in Rumford, buy the old Ford's Bakery and open up FOR GOODNESS CAKES BAKERY.
I know. I know what I said and that's where the crow comes in.
I'm super busy. I bought a house and my mama's cat, has now become my cat.
Rumford is going crazy with all the buzz about the Rumford Library addition. I'm very excited to be catering the big charity event being held at the Grape Valley Winery. It's the biggest event I've done so far and I'm in desperate need for the pay check. After all, I've got bills to pay.
Seriously, look at this amazing winery in the holler of Kentucky with the amazing Kentucky Bluegrass. It's the limestone rich soil that makes all the grapes perfect for the winery. And if the rumor swirling around here about Ray Peel, Rumford's most eligible bachelor, not making good on his big donation because he's selling the land the winery is on. . .has put a little damper on this event.
I better go and hurry on over to the winery office so I can get paid and things go from bad to worse.

Hot and Sour Soup from 'Stewed'
Is it just me or is hot and sour soup one of the weirdest in the Chinese take-out canon? Most bowls consist of a gloppy mass of orange sweet liquid, giving way to a slightly sour and slightly spicy finish. Bites of mushroom, pea, and tofu add a bit of interest, but they can't save the soup bowl. But there's no reason why a homemade bowl of hot and sour can't make for a warming, pleasant meal.
Dave Becker's recipe in Stewed is one such example. He eschews the sweet element of too many take-out containers, instead favoring the naturally sour taste of lemongrass, rice vinegar, and lime juice and the gentle heat of red chiles and white pepper. Carrots, shiitakes, bell peppers, and snow peas make up the bulk of the vegetables, and a small amount of rice noodles or rice turns the appetizer into a full meal. It's a far cry from any hot and sour I'd ever eaten, and that's a good thing.
Why I picked this recipe: I've had my fair share of poorly prepared hot and sour soups, and so I wanted to try my hand at making my own.
What worked: The balance of spice and sweetness was spot-on, and the proportions of vegetables yielded a filling soup with textural variety.
What didn't: I needed to simmer the for about 10 extra minutes in order to soften the vegetables properly. Next time, I'll sweat them longer over a lower temperature to cook them gently without browning.
Suggested tweaks: I used dried chiles de arbol instead of the dried bird's beak chiles, and these worked just fine. I removed them after simmering, giving the soup a present, but not overwhelming heat. You could easily substitute another chile or leave them out all together--the white pepper adds its own unique heat. I used a 5-quart pot instead of the high-sided saute pan called for in the recipe.

- Yield:serves 4 to 6
- Active time: 40 minutes
- Total time:40 minutes
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 cups carrots, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch wide slices
- 2 cups Spanish onions, cut into 1/4-inch wide slices
- 2 tablespoons celery, cut into 1/4-inch wide slices
- 3 cups shiitake mushrooms, cut into 1/4-inch wide slices
- 1 teaspoon lemongrass, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 cup rice vinegar
- 1 cup sake
- 3 dried bird's beak chiles
- 1 1/2 quarts chicken stock or veggie stock
- Kosher salt and white pepper
- 1 cup yellow peppers, cut into 1/4-inch wide slices
- 1 cup snow peas
- 2 cups cooked rice or thin rice noodles
- Garnish
- Sesame oil
- Chopped fresh cilantro
- Lime wedges
Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat, and then add the coconut oil. Allow the oil to heat for a couple seconds, and then add the carrots, onions, celery, and shiitake mushrooms. Sauté for 1 minute, and then add the lemongrass, ginger, and garlic. Continue to sauté for 1 or 2 more minutes (do not let this mixture brown, as it will prevent the soup from attaining its sought after light and fresh flavor).
Add the rice vinegar, bring to a boil, and then add the sake. If you crave the spice, throw in the chiles at this point, add the stock, bring it to a boil, and then season to taste with salt and white pepper (see note).
When you're satisfied with the seasoning, add the yellow peppers, snow peas, and noodles or rice. Cook for 1 or 2 more minutes, and then remove from the heat (see note).
Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with a little sesame oil, garnish with the cilantro and lime wedges, and serve.
Note: Make sure to season the soup with more white pepper than you think you should. This is the only soup in the book that specifically calls for white pepper, since it's unique flavor can't be replaced by any other ingredient.
The snow peas and peppers in this soup should be light and crisp—not overcooked and soggy. For that reason, make sure to remove the soup from the heat when they are still crisp and have a little life left in them.

Noodle Tuesday: Iyo Udon
If you've been to Marukame (and if you haven't, why not?!), you know the deal at Iyo Udon, Honolulu's newest udon spot at Ala Moana Center: cafeteria-style, fresh udon for the price of a Big Mac.
Iyo Udon has similar offerings as Marukame—hot and cold udon, curry udon and pick-your-own tempura—with one notable exception, the kamatama udon. Hot udon is mixed with a splash of shoyu and a soft-boiled egg, which turns into a creamy sauce for the noodles. It's a different udon dish that really showcases the noodles without being boring. Add a flurry of pickled and fresh ginger, green onions and tempura flakes, and it's like the Japanese version of carbonara.
The comparisons to Marukame are inevitable, but if you're at Ala Moana and craving udon, Iyo is the perfect antidote to a day when your daughter/son/husband has kept you at the Lego store a little too long.
Iyo Udon
Udon from $3.75 to $7.25
At Ala Moana Center, 2nd floor mauka, 1450 Ala Moana Blvd.

April 26
The Spanish town of Guernica was bombed on this date in 1937.
|3 – 12
|Calendar Activity Type
|Historical Figure & Event
It is a sad irony that the most horrific acts of war often lead to the greatest artistic expression. In 1937, during the Spanish Civil War, the peaceful Basque town of Guernica was used for Nazi bombing practice with the approval of General Francesco Franco. Over 100,000 pounds of munitions were dropped, killing more than 2,000 people and destroying 70% of the city. In response, Pablo Picasso painted his masterpiece Guernica, called modern art's most powerful antiwar statement.
Many students have had little exposure to artwork; and yet paintings, photographs, sculpture, and other art forms can and should be studied as legitimate texts. Since most states now require "visual literacy" as part of their standards, incorporating more artwork into the English classroom certainly is beneficial.
Begin by asking your students what they know about art, art history, or famous artists, such as Picasso. Show students Picasso's Guernica. Ideally, you will want to have a transparency, poster, or projection from the website.
Ask students for their initial impressions of the piece. Provide them with background information, and ask how their impressions change when context is provided. Since the painting is quite large, assign students to look at one quarter of the painting at a time, writing down all the visual details they see and sharing their findings in small groups.
Finally, ask students to write about Picasso's purpose in creating this painting. What did he hope to accomplish and how did he try to do so? The answers to these questions get at the theme of the work. The same questions can be applied to any text-print or visual-students are studying.
- Kids' Guernica
This website describes a peace project in which kids from war-torn countries create their own Guernica-styled murals. Pictures of different murals are included.
- Guernica: Testimony of War
This website complements a PBS program on Picasso's painting. Included is information about Guernica bombing, the meaning of abstract images in the painting, and Picasso's artistic process.
- On-Line Picasso Project
This site contains a huge collection of resources on Picasso. There are biographies, critiques, and catalogs of his work.
- Doodle Splash
This interactive tool combines the process of drawing with analytical thinking about text. Adapt this tool to your students' exploration of the visual arts.
Grades 3 – 5 | Lesson Plan | Unit
Peace Poems and Picasso Doves: Literature, Art, Technology, and Poetry
Students apply think-aloud strategies to reading and to composition of artwork and poetry. They research symbols of peace as they prewrite, compose, and publish their poetry.
Grades 3 – 5 | Lesson Plan | Standard Lesson
Artistic Elements: Exploring Art Through Descriptive Writing
Paint a vivid picture in your reader's mind with good descriptive writing! Artwork provides the perfect starting point for practicing descriptive writing that conveys color, shape, line, and mood.
Grades 6 – 8 | Lesson Plan | Standard Lesson
Creative Communication Frames: Discovering Similarities between Writing and Art
Graphic organizers assist the development of comparative vocabulary and generate discussions of analogy and metaphor in art as students go on a real or virtual tour of an art gallery.
Grades 9 – 12 | Lesson Plan | Standard Lesson

With iCloud Photos, you can access your photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Apple TV, on iCloud.com, and even your Windows PC. When you're connected to the Internet, Wi-Fi, or a cellular network, your newest shots upload automatically and your edits update in real time. So you always see the latest version on your devices and online.
Before you begin
- Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest version of iOS, your Mac to the latest macOS, and your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV (4th generation) to the latest tvOS.
- Make sure that you're signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
- Set up iCloud on all of your devices. If you have a PC, download iCloud for Windows.
- Make sure that your device is connected to Wi-Fi.
Turn on iCloud Photos
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then turn on iCloud Photos.
- On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud > Options next to Photos, then select iCloud Photos.
- On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Accounts > iCloud > iCloud Photos.
- On your Windows PC, download iCloud for Windows then set up iCloud Photos.
If you have photos synced to your iOS device from iTunes and then turn on iCloud Photos, you'll see "Photos and Videos Synced from iTunes will be Removed." The original versions of the photos and videos will stay on your computer and the copies are removed from your iOS device. When you turn on iCloud Photos on your Mac or PC, your original versions will upload to iCloud and you can access them on all of your devices.
If you choose not to turn on iCloud Photos, you can sync your photos and videos manually in iTunes.
Sync your photos manually with iTunes
You can set up iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from the Photos app, or from a folder on your computer. Each time that you sync your iOS device with iTunes, the photos and videos on your iOS device update to match the albums on your computer. If you have photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that aren't on your computer, follow these steps to import them.
- Make sure that you have the latest version of iTunes.
- Open iTunes on your computer.
- Use the included USB cable to connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer.
- Click on the device icon in iTunes.
- In the sidebar on the left side of the iTunes window, click Photos.

- Choose the app or folder that you want to sync from. If you choose to sync a folder with sub-folders, the first level of sub-folders will appear as albums on your device.
- Choose to sync all photos and albums or selected albums.
- Select "Include videos" to sync the videos from your app or folder too.
- Click Apply.
You must import Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos through the Photos app or Image Capture in OS X Yosemite or later for their effect to be synced via iTunes. When you use iCloud Photos, Slo-Mo and Time-Lapse videos keep their effects.
Live Photos keep their effect when you import them to Photos in OS X El Capitan and later, but they lose their effect if you sync them back to your device via iTunes. Use iCloud Photos so that Live Photos keep their effect, no matter what device you use.
If you're syncing from Photos, only your System Photo Library is available in iTunes.
Turn off iTunes syncing
If you don't want the synced photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch anymore, turn off syncing in iTunes and they'll be removed from your device. You can turn off syncing for some of your photo albums or all of them at once.

Thank you for connecting me to the wonderful world of teaching and learning with technology.
After earning a degree in biology, Karen Fischer, who lives near Ft. Lauderdale, FL, worked in a clinical laboratory and as a health administrator in the Air Force National Guard. It was while taking a technical training course that she first found herself intrigued by the combination of adult education, science, and technology.
Soon after, she joined the teaching staff of a biomedical instrumentation manufacturing company, where she taught adult learners how to operate the instruments. She has since transitioned to the technical support team as an applications scientist, where she designs, develops, and implements effective training events.
When Karen found out her employer offered tuition assistance at Ashford University, she realized her dream of completing an advanced degree was within reach. Even better, she found a program that would allow her to design, develop, and implement online training using technology tools that matched the start of the art instrumentation she already works with. "Ashford's Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning with Technology proved to be just the right program at just the right time for me."
Karen graduated in September 2013 and raves about the program and her experience with it. "This program has been my most rewarding educational experience to date. The interactions with teachers and students were actually at a higher level than I experienced in the traditional classroom setting."
This Golden Key International Honour Society member explains that she now has full confidence in designing, developing, and implementing collaborative elearning programs and is eagerly exploring opportunities using her new skills. "I have implemented multiple successful just-in-time [JIT] training programs in my current job and am currently working on implementing a new training program that I systematically designed and developed following the instructional design principles, logic model, and program planning learned in the program. I will continue to use my knowledge to revitalize the existing training programs I am responsible for.
"Any academic goal can be achieved with hard work, commitment and having faculty the caliber of Ashford University's faculty," she continues. "I am empowered by my new knowledge and skills gained from the Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning with Technology program to advance distance learning opportunities for adult learners."
Karen has especially kind words about her faculty members, saying, "The instruction received from the professors is beyond measure. It is with great fortune that I was able to experience instruction from professors who practice what they teach. The engagement, enthusiasm, and encouragement in the feedback and class interactions all exceeded my expectations. The tone of conversation throughout the instruction is purposeful and always on task."
In fact, in one of her last class discussions, Karen reflected on her program and thanked her professors directly, saying, "I am thankful for the modeled ethical standards demonstrated by Ashford professors. I feel privileged to have worked with you and to have learned from you. I am truly inspired by you. Thank you for connecting me to the wonderful world of teaching and learning with technology. Any success I achieve in my own teaching and learning with technology is a direct reflection of this incredible Ashford University program."

Despite legislation and law enforcement, incidents of harassment still occur in the workplace. Often employers are at a loss in knowing how to prevent it. They can't be everywhere at once to supervise first-hand what is taking place in their business.
The new training being offered by the EEOC is a proactive solution for preventing harassment. The training applies to real life situations and gives employees and employers valuable tools that begin by addressing uncivil behavior, which can escalate and lead to harassment.
How Does This Training Differ from Other Anti-Harassment Education and Training Programs?
Traditional anti-harassment or anti-discrimination training programs focus on educating supervisors and workers about existing laws, legal definitions and liability standards that businesses must meet.
The EEOC's new programs , called "Leading for Respect" and "Respect in the Workplace," focus directly on conduct.
Participants in the program learn about treating others with respect and what respectful conduct involves. By fostering respectful behavior in the workplace, businesses can also become more efficient and profitable. The training also assists employers by reviewing their policies and procedures and evaluating them in terms of harassment prevention.
The point where a company starts preventing harassment is by changing its culture. Two main aspects of the program geared to do this are workplace civility training and bystander intervention training.
Workplace Civility and Bystander Intervention Training
Workplace civility training promotes civility and tolerance for diversity in the workplace. When workers enter a general culture of civility, employers often see less of its counterpart, harassment.
Civility training has been used by employers and is not new to workplaces. However, bystander prevention training is a newer concept for preventing harassment.
Schools and colleges have used violence intervention training as a way to curb sexual assault. It empowers students to intervene and prevent assault by increasing bystander awareness, encouraging collective responsibility, empowering students through skill-building exercises and making resources available to support intervention. By-stander prevention training brings the same skills to the workplace to enable workers to intervene and stop harassment.
If you have questions or legal concerns about workplace harassment, find out how we can help.

I foresee the end to my diet. =[
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 tps salt
1/4 tps baking soda
1/2 tps vanilla extract
10 cups popped popcorn
Preheat the oven to 250 F.
Place all the popcorn in a large bowl. I popped two bags of light butter popcorn in the microwave.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Then stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Stir until the brown sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil, stirring to make sure everything is combined. Let boil for 4 minutes without stirring.
Remove from heat, add in baking soda, and vanilla extract. Being careful, the vanilla extract can sizzle.
Pour the caramel over the popcorn. Stir to coat evenly. Place on a large baking sheet and bake for 1 hour. Stirring every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Mixing while it cools to break up the pieces. Enjoy.
Store in air tight containers.
I can't stop eating these. I doubled the vanilla extract, so it smells and tastes extra delicious. So crunchy and sweet. Bake less if you want less crunch. Hide them from your kids or husband if you want to eat all of it. =]

"The English Defence League claimed they only came to protest against Islamic extremism but they actually came to spread hatred and division.
One of their ringleaders, Paul Ray, made his intentions very clear when he stated, on TalkSport Radio, 'his opposition to all Muslims practising their faith in Britain'.
Everyone has a right to their opinions but no one has the right to incite hatred on the basis of faith or race.
I am concerned there is an equivalence being made between these people, who came to provoke trouble, and people who stand against fasicsm and racism. There is no equivalence and it is wrong that people have been allowed to come into the city centre with this intent for trouble.
The fascists wants to see social disorder, especially scenes of violence between Muslim youth and white people, because then they can hold it up as 'evidence' of the 'failure' of multiculturalism.
Of course, our message is 'do not be provoked'. We don't want to see any scenes of violence in our Birmingham city centre; but the reality is they know some of these tactics have worked as in the past in Burnley, Oldham and Stoke where they instigated race riots and since that polarisation, they have benefited in their votes.
I believe the English Defence League's so-called 'protests' are simply a repeat of this formula which they want to bring to Birmingham and other cities across the country.
I call on politicians from all parties, civic leaders and faith representatives to condemn the racist intent behind these so-called demonstrations and also call for the banning of any future such protests in our city.
Luton has also seen protests by the EDL and Casuals United, which have resulted in violence, and the police there have actually responded to a public outcry about this by calling for a ban.
Chief Superintendent Andy Frost, Divisional Commander for Luton police, said:
"The risk the proposed marches pose to public safety has left us with no alternative but to apply for a banning order."
Alan Johnson, the Home Office Minister, granted this banning order in Luton, because he received over 14,000 letters directly to himself and the Chief Constable there, saying that they wanted a ban.
I urge people in Birmingham to write to Alan Johnson, as well as to the Chief Constable here to urge for a similar ban.
I love being a Brummie, I'm proud that Birmingham is a multicultural and diverse city. Let's not be divided by the racists."
To request a ban, please write to:
Alan Johnson MP (Home Secretary): email@example.com
Chief Constable Chris Simms (West Midlands Police): firstname.lastname@example.com

Copied from my blog at http://liberalatheisthippie.blogspot.com
When my son came home a few days ago and announced, "Charlie's* an atheist like me!", I felt my chest tighten. After a deep breath, we had a short discussion about personal beliefs and why some people might get upset with him if their beliefs are different from his and then I reminded him that he is still learning and suggested he might want to hold off…Continue

Gizem Oncu-Vitalink Smart Glove
At Design Interviews
(Excerpt) Interview with GIZEM ONCU : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. GIZEM ONCU : Since worker safety should always come first, mine conditions should not only be checked through environment sensors as in existing techniques. As a wearable smart device, VitaLink hopes to address to communicate problems in cases of emergency such as a decrease in oxygen level of blood, dramatic changes of pulse value and inactivity of miner. Also via VitaLink, it is aimed that every miner can send an emergency call directly to operator, and with the data obtained, operator can define the location of miner in order to send rescue. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. GIZEM ONCU : In the first place, I want to achive to increase awareness among society about hard working conditions in mines. Also, I believe that the health conditions of miners should be considered more important. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. GIZEM ONCU : I hope to bring into action this project because due to the mine accidents, world obliged to face dramatic results regarding human lives. Since worker safety should always come first, mine conditions should not only be checked through environment sensors as in existing techniques. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. GIZEM ONCU : It was my graduation project which lasts 5 months. it started in January 2015 in Ankara, Turkey and finished in June 2015, and was exhibited in The Culture and Convention Center of Middle East Technical University in June 2015. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. GIZEM ONCU : When I examine the control systems and measuring devices used, I have noticed that ensuring the safety of workers and the control of health conditions of miner are inadequacy in coal mines. In terms of the potential disaster and emergency scenarios, I have concluded that not enough information such as the number of miners inside and the location of them is available. I thought a product in order to bring solutions to all these problems should be designed. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. GIZEM ONCU : My design is not being produced or used by another company. I plan to lease the production rights. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. GIZEM ONCU : I designed this particular type of work because I wanted to deaign a product for real world problems. In addtion, day by day technology is included in our lives so I would like to use the positive impact of technology on one of the important issue. Especially after so many mine disesters happened around the world I felt very sorry about miner, and as a designer I wanted to draw attentions to this topic. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. GIZEM ONCU : This is my graduation project. Therefore, during my design process I got so many critics from my professors. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. GIZEM ONCU : The focus group includes coal miners who are face workers, overseers, technicians, engineers, rescue crew members and miner operators. They are working in extreme conditions such as 6-8 hours shift in health-endangering environment with insufficient warning systems. High humidity, narrow, dark and slippery working paths are the problematic facts about environment, which creates health problems for workers, and paves the way for mine accidents. Since the equipments are heavy and not properly fit to each miner, they limit the movement ability inside the coal mine. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. GIZEM ONCU : There is no other design like as Vitalink. Vitalink is the only smart glove design f.[ End of Excerpt: Read complete interview with GIZEM ONCU on Vitalink Smart Glove at design-interviews.com ]

It's all over now. My last chemo, thankfully, was a couple of weeks ago. It's probably not the final one ever but it's the last one for a while. Maybe for months. Hopefully for years. I'm so happy to be at the end of this current course of treatment. I've now had 35 chemo cocktails in total, I think, most of them over the last two years. To not have to face the prospect of that evil stuff, like that above, dripping into my veins is wonderful.
I hope the break is long enough to get some hair. It's still a shock to see my bald head. I really miss not being able to tie it back. Yes I could do that with some of my wigs but it's not the same. Anyway I'm not really into wigs at the moment. Wearing a wig takes up precious energy. Instead most days I wear a soft hat. It's much more comfortable and doesn't seem out of place at this time of year.
But to celebrate chemo no 6 I wore my favourite wig to hospital. It's the one you see me wear when I'm occasionally on television. I now have an impressive collection of them however my work wig is the one that I love wearing the most. Despite this it still has no name!
I always like to try and look smart when I go for treatment or consultations. It gives me back a tiny portion of control, knowing that I'm not too ill to wear make-up and a dress. If I look well, I feel better. I feel worse when I don't make an effort. Cancer forces you to give up so much of your identity that you have to cling onto what you can.
Chemo 6 was totally unremarkable. I saw my consultant, The Professor. It was the best kind of appointment as there were no test results to be told about. We ran through all the side effects of the past few weeks but there was nothing alarmingly awful. Just standard awful.
For this treatment, mum and my aunt Rose came along. To keep them entertained I sent them out on missions. First to the pharmacy, now thats always it's an adventure which tends to take ages – finding the place and then waiting in the inevitably long queue. After picking up my prescription I asked them to go in search of a jacket potato with melted cheese. They were successful on both counts.
I then slept for a few hours. Probably the most interesting thing was eating a baked potato in bed in the afternoon. It was the first time I'd had eaten something hot while having chemo. The day really was that dull.
The nurses stayed late to ensure that my treatment got finished. I ended up being the last patient to leave the ward. Parts of it were already in darkness and the cleaner had started his evenings work. As I walked out my spirits lifted. I had a dizzy, drunk, fuzzy feeling. The potent cocktail of super strength drugs and steroids was acting like the rocket fuel, giving me the boost I needed to get home.
I felt so wired and that we started our journey by bus. It took us through streets that have become so familiar to me. Past the school where I used to play netball matches for the BBC team and then along a road to the sports centre where we used to train. The outdoor court we used was next to a row of football pitches. It had a concrete canopy as it was just below a busy fly-over. With such a stark, urban setting, it always felt like the set for a trainer advert.
The bus stopped near the training ground and a sporty looking woman got on. She was dressed in the kind of kit that I used to wear for netball. As we travelled further away from the hospital I smiled to myself. I realised that this was a tantalising glimpse of what my life after chemo could be like.

How London Gets to Work
According to the Mayor of London's office the number of people cycling on London's roads has seen remarkable growth over the last few years. Last year the GLA's report into the impact of the Mayor's Vision for Cycling stated that during the morning rush hour "on some main roads, up to 70 per cent of vehicles are bicycles" and across the city "32 per cent of all vehicles on the roads are now bicycles".
You can see how cycling in London has increased drastically over the last 15 years on a new mapped visualization of cycling during the morning rush hour from Suprageography. Suprageography's London Traffic Counts Map visualizes the mode of transport used in the morning rush hour on London's roads over the last 16 years. The map uses Department of Transport traffic count data for the hour of 8am to 9am to show how people are commuting to work on London's roads.
The map shows how, particularly in central London, cycling has become one of the most popular methods of traveling to work for commuters on London's roads. Using the map you select up to three different modes of transport. Each mode of transport is shown as different colored circles, with the size of each circle proportional to the flow.
The map also allows you to allow you to visualize the change in the popularity of any of the modes of transport between any two years. In this visualization the green circles show an increase and the purple circles indicate decreases in the traffic counts for selected mode of transport.

Rose Friedman Passes
Rose Friedman, co‐author of several books with her late husband and Nobel laureate economist Milton, passed away this morning. Rose and Milton co‐wrote Free to Choose the wonderful book that formed the basis of Milton's PBS television series, as well co‐writing their joint auto‐biography "Two Lucky People."
She was intimately involved in the school choice movement both before and after Milton's passing, as co‐founder of the Milton and Rose D. Friedman Foundation for School Choice, ably led by Robert Enlow.
Rose and Milton were not just skilled economists who cared about kids, they were a charming couple. At a casual policy event a decade ago, they shared a single armchair to ensure that there would be enough seats for everyone. They weren't just models of commitment to a worthy cause, they were models for how two smart, forthright people can build a marriage that lasts a lifetime.
Rose and Milton will long be remembered.

Last week's article noted that some of the best-performing investment companies of 2012 were stocks that had previously disappointed. There is a long list of disappointing stocks to trawl through to identify what might surprise on the upside in 2013 but one I have been meaning to write about for ages turned out to be one of the worst-performing funds in 2012: Origo Partners.
The decline was dramatic – the share price fell from a high of more than 51p in June 2011 to 13.375p today; the stock was trading at more than 30p as recently as last March.
Rise and fall
Origo started life late in 2006 as Origo Sino-India, and was designed to invest in fast-growing Chinese and Indian private companies. Its share price collapsed as the credit crisis took hold and, in September 2009, it was merged with Origo Resources (a separate fund launched in November 2007, which had also fallen out of favour with investors).
At the same time, it moved its focus away from the Indian side of the business to China and changed its name to Origo Partners. The fund is now designed to be a play on China's rapid urbanisation and industrialisation, the idea being that this will fuel demand for resources and a need for investment in renewable energy and clean technology. The portfolio is quite concentrated, with the top 10 investments accounting for 90%.
The company was expanded through a couple of share issues (June 2010, raising £20 million at 25p, and December 2011, raising £21 million at 36p) and an issue of $60 million of zero-dividend convertible preference shares in March 2011.
The preferences mature in March 2016, when holders can opt for $1.28 in cash or, at any time before maturity, choose to exchange them for ordinary shares at $0.95 each.
At the end of December 2011, Origo had net assets (less the preference shares) of $241 million; by September 2012, this had fallen to $202 million or 57 cents per share. This is the last published net asset value (NAV). While we can only guess at the likely NAV decline since then, it still seems likely Origo is trading at a substantial discount.
In 2011, the company initiated a $1.5 NAV buyback programme, which, while modest, should be NAV-enhancing. Net cash in September was $25.8 million, so there is room to step up share repurchases in future.
Origo is self-managed, with more than 50 employees and ongoing expenses (excluding performance fees) of about $6 million. The senior management positions are held by executive chairman Wang Chao Yong, chief executive Chris Rynning and chief financial officer Niklas Ponnert.
A performance fee introduced in 2009 gave senior management 20% of realised profits on investments over a 10% per annum hurdle. At the end of June 2012, Origo had accrued performance fees of $6 million.
There are also 13.6 million options exercisable at 31p, 11.5 million exercisable at 23.45p and 4.8 million granted in 2009, initially exercisable at 15.5p but this grows by 3.5% per annum. Most of these are held by the senior management. While all of these options are underwater, they could act as a drag on future performance and could add 8.3% to the issued share capital.
Future shock
So what upside is there in the portfolio? A lot will depend on your view of China and whether you believe the recent positive news coming out of the country will be sustained, but one issue, more than any other, has affected Origo's recent fortunes: the introduction of a new mineral law in Mongolia.
More than half (54%) of the fund is invested in metals/mining stocks and Mongolian projects account for more than 40% of the fund. The biggest is Gobi Coal & Energy but it also holds stakes in Moly World, a molybdenum/tungsten project, and Kincora Copper, Kincora's Bronze Fox copper/gold deposit, sits alongside Rio's larger Oyu Tolgoi operation.
Gobi Coal (almost 30% of the fund) is also held by Baker Steel. Recently it wrote down its carrying value on the back of poor prices for Mongolian coal at the Chinese border. Gobi was supposed to float in 2012 but the Mongolian government started to make noises about rewriting the law that underpins the state's relationship with big, mostly foreign-owned, resource projects, and this unnerved investors.
As drafted, the law says Mongolian citizens must hold at least 34%/51% in each project (depending on the type of project), the state has pre-emptive rights in the event that a project changes hands and it can take a stake in the licence holder of a deposit for no consideration.
Unsurprisingly, investors are protesting. If the law is watered down, Origo's shares should jump; if not, the focus switches to its remaining investments.
These include Celadon Mining, a Chinese coal miner, two holdings in the agricultural sector (25% of the fund) China Rice (rice processing and distribution) and RM Wiliams (an Australian farming company exporting to China) and a spread of 'clean tech' investments (17%) including stakes in China Cleantech Partners (a fund launched in conjunction with Ecofin), Unipower Battery (lithium ion batteries) and Niutech Energy (tyre and plastic recycling).
We will know what the real discount is when Origo releases its end-December NAV estimate around the end of this month, when it makes its next interim statement. Short-term success largely depends on factors outside its control but, with a fair wind, Origo could be a winner in 2013.

Bernhard Langer's second ACE Group Classic title in three years involved a little more drama on Sunday then he would have preferred.
The German two-putted for par from 50 feet on the 18th to finish at 12-under 204, surviving three bogeys and a double bogey to finish one stroke ahead of Jay Don Blake at TwinEagles' Talon Course.
The winner in 2011 and the runner-up last year, Langer earned his 17th victory on the tour. It's the seventh year the 55-year-old has won at least one tournament on the tour.
"I'm certainly relieved now, having won," Langer said. "It was definitely a grind. I was hoping to come down to the last hole with, whatever, a three-shot lead or something, make it easy."
Blake's 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th looked like it had a chance until the last few feet, when it turned and grazed the edge of the cup.
"I actually thought I had made it, gave it a good effort, but just wasn't good enough," said Blake, who was playing ahead of Langer in the penultimate group.
Tom Pernice Jr. tied for third with John Cook, who birdied Nos. 16 and 18 for a 68 that left him at 9-under 207. David Frost and Rocco Mediate, a Calusa Pines Golf Club member, tied for fifth at 8-under.
After leading by four early in the round, Langer double-bogeyed No. 4, and later missed a 2½-foot par putt on No. 10 for his second straight bogey to fall into a tie with Blake and Pernice.
Blake, who birdied four holes on the front nine, took the lead briefly with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 13th to get to 12 under. But Langer also birdied the hole, and added another on No. 14 to take the lead again.
Langer had switched up his putting grip after leaving a birdie putt short on No. 11.
"I made some better strokes that way, and made some decent putts there towards the end," he said.
Blake missed a 3-footer for par on No. 16, and Langer bogeyed No. 15, keeping Langer a stroke ahead. But the bogey could have been worse. Langer's tee shot ended up in a bad lie 95 yards from the green. He hit his second shot fat, and went in the water short of the green. After taking a drop, Langer hit a lob wedge to 5 feet.
"(I) made that for a great bogey," he said.
Pernice bogeyed No. 11, then missed a short birdie putt at No. 12 and couldn't recover. Down two strokes, he went for the green on the par-5 17th in two, hooked a 3-wood into the water and made bogey.

The terms call for a LIPA surcharge based upon consumption — for the East End of the Town, only (excluding Shinnecock, Tuckahoe, and the Shinnecock Reseration). The surcharge will amount to $3.70 per month for the average electric consumer, i.e., bigger houses will pay more than average, and smaller houses less.
At later date, yet to be set, we must go to LIPA headquarters to impress upon LIPA's Trustees that we expect them to also ratify this agreement. Again, on that day, CGSF will arrange for chartered Jitneys (free to supporters who come, including lunch aboard the return trip).
In the event that LIPA's Trustees do not ratify the agreement – the Town's resolution also calls for establishing a Special Tax Assessment District to support payment for the undergrounding. The boundaries of the STAD are yet to be set, but will include Water Mill, part of Bridgehampton, and perhaps, depending upon their agreement, the Villages of Southampton, Sag Harbor, North Haven, and Sagaponack.
Please take the time to send "Thank You" emails to the Southampton Town Board for their good work to preserve and protect our scenic vistas and hurricane escape route. This was a long and hard negotiation for them. Here are their email addresses:
Supervisor Linda Kabot: email@example.com
Councilman Chris Nuzzi: email@example.com
Councilwoman Anna Throne-Holst: firstname.lastname@example.com
Councilwoman Nancy Groboski: email@example.com
Councilman Dan Russo: firstname.lastname@example.com
We owe a special debt of gratitude to Assemblyman Fred Thiele, who persisted in bringing both sides to this agreement. Without Assemblyman Thiele's involvement this deal would never have happened. Please tell Assemblyman Thiele you are grateful: thielef@ assembly.state.ny.us

Committee for a Green South Fork
It's not an uncommon scenario. Not to be cynical, but so much of our destiny is controlled by people who don't live here, but wish they did, but they can't and are not very happy about it so they feel a little "so there, you fancy-schmancies" is in order.
It's why many have been trying to create "Peconic County" consisting of the 5 East End Towns. Why should we be ruled by people who have never even been here, some 50 miles away?
The same for the Long Island Board of Realtors. Why should a board from West Islip regulate how listings are handled on the East End, where we have a very different culture and way of doing business. That's why HANFRA, the Hamptons and North Fork Realtors Association has grown to 1000 members in recent years – local rule!!
We'll now we have the Long Island Power Authority – LIPA – who says they need to provide more power lines to the East End in order to keep up with demand, and they want to put up these big ugly poles along our roadways. Needless to say, many of us are against it.
Here's one of the stories:
