I don't know about you guys, but I have been doing a lot of online shopping lately. In my defence, there isn't a whole lot else to do right now and I've found some really good sales for the most part! I thought it might be fun to share with you guys my recent online orders since we've been in quarantine. There's a good mix of fashion, home, and beauty so I think no matter what you're into, you'll enjoy this list!
Steve Madden
I have been looking for a versatile pair of sandals for a couple years now and this pair from Steve Madden was exactly what I was looking for! I love that they will go with so much in my closet and look chic yet simple. They also feel like you're wearing slippers, which is a huge bonus! They are very reasonably priced but I signed up for their emails so I scored 20% off. My mom also got a pair because she loved them too!
I was out of my Peppermint Halo Roll-On, which is an everyday essential for me. So, I ordered a new one along with their Goddess Body Lotion and Sweet Sheets Linen and Fabric Spray. The lotion is really nice, and I absolutely love the fabric spray! I have been using it to refresh our bedsheets midweek and love the lemon and lavender scent. I also ordered my mom the Safe Hands Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap and the At Your Desk Remedy Bar Gift Set for Mother's Day, which she loved!
Of course, I had to make a Sephora order (or two…). It could have been a lot worse but I only ordered things I was actually out of! I reordered my beloved Kat Von D Tattoo Liner as well as the MAC Brow Set Brow Gel as I was in need for a new one. As well, I ordered a backup Too Faced Born This Way Concealer as I am nearly out and am obsessed with the formula! I was also in need of a new toner and a new SPF so I ordered The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toning Solution which I have used before in the past and really liked as well as the Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 as it sounds amazing and I have been seeing a ton of rave reviews on Instagram.
I am obsessed with the RCMA No Color Powder for setting my makeup. I have used it for years and haven't found anything better that beats the price. About a month or so ago I ran out and I kept putting off ordering it in the hopes I would find something a bit more convenient. It really can't be beat though, so I finally made an order on Beautylish and am hoping it arrives soon! If you're looking for a budget-friendly powder that does a great job of keeping excess oils in check; you have to try this powder!
I was in need of some new underwear and Aerie had an 8 for $32 promotion on so I took advantage! They're now 6 for $32, which isn't bad either. I also ordered these leggings and I'm so excited for them to arrive. I ordered the Steel Blue colour which is something different for me while still being neutral. They're supposed to come today or tomorrow, and I can't wait!
Old Navy
Old Navy has had some of the most incredible sales! With having so many good sales on, most of what I bought it completely sold out. I did order this dress though, which is super flattering! I also ordered a couple of sweatshirts and a cheap pair of flip flops to have for by the pool this summer.
The Gap
The Gap obviously also had incredible deals which I took advantage of! I ordered a black sweatshirt which is no longer available as well as this blue floral tank and a seamless bra that is no longer available either.
I was obsessed with these earrings when I first saw them and after days of not being able to stop thinking about them, I decided to order them. They're just as nice in person and I have been wearing a pair everyday since they arrived! The hook backings on the dangly pairs are a little tricky at first, but well worth the trouble.
Amazon is another place that it's hard not to order from! I mostly made practical purchases like Swiffer cloths and this tripod, which I'm really impressed with. I also ordered a new phone case, these fun squared ice cube trays for my mom and I, as well as these plastic organizers to store extra jewellery in!
Canadian Tire
We have been in the market for a stick vacuum for ages, and when I saw this one on sale for 50% off, we jumped on it! It arrives this week and I can't wait as it's going to make cleaning the floors a whole lot easier.
Reitmans isn't a place I typically shop; but they were having a really good sale and I found lots of cute tops! I got this tank in black and white as well as this graphic tee and a black and white striped tee that I think has since sold out.
Lastly, from H&M I ordered this white sweatshirt, this wide cut t-shirt, and a simple black tank that is out of stock!
Phew! I knew I did a lot of shopping, but I didn't realize it was quite that much. And, not that I need to do anymore shopping, but let me know what you've recently ordered online!

Are you a teacher or a trainer? Lessons for S&C coaches from the PE classroom
Are you a teacher or are you a trainer? The difference might seem trivial, but it is fundamental in how you approach your athletes and sporting environment.
All too often the strength and conditioning community focuses on training, leaving a gap in how we interact with our athletes. This is one key area where coaches can learn from the teaching profession. Specifically there are some ideas from physically education teachers that can help strength and conditioning improve their craft.
» Learn more: GAIN recently launched the GAIN PE initiative, including a free newsletter which provides insights, videos, and more about PE from James Marshall and other coaches in the GAIN community.
The measuring mindset
I have undertaken two strength and conditioning accreditation processes: one in the UK, one from the US. Both times I had to spend a lot of time reviewing sport science and training theory. The exams reflected this. The first question I had to answer in one was: "What is the purpose of a bone notch." It went downhill from there.
Whilst I passed both exams on my first attempt, I never felt that I was a better coach . . . instead, I knew a lot of information (at least I thought I did). I only had to conduct one small coaching session with another person during the whole accreditation process: the rest was just theory.
My impression of sports science is that it focusses a lot on measuring and monitoring. This transfers to the S&C culture of testing and benchmarks. Training sessions are reverse engineered from the desired number. These numbers become very important and are shared with other people. The S&C coach or sport scientist may have their performance benchmarked by the measurements of the athletes trained.
The most important aspect of coaching is the interaction between human beings. If we start to see athletes as numbers, rather than people, we can easily fall into the trap of just measuring and monitoring rather than teaching. Compounding this trait is the rise of the super-facility. Power platforms, watt bikes and bar-velocity tags mean that if it moves, it's measured. Forget about the quality of movement, we need a number.
This mindset is taking over PE as well. In recently reading the book Play Practice by Alan Launder and Wendy Piltz, the authors noted that: "the preparation of PE teachers moves from an approach based on a thorough background of physical activity and sport with relevant practice-referenced theory to ever-increasing volumes of theory separated from the realities of the context."
Learning from the art of teaching
Some strength and conditioning coaches are able to automatically create athlete engagement, as they have a captive market of athletes required to train with them by their coaches. This can result in less than ideal practices: the coaches can get away with things because the athletes have to comply if they want to get selected. For example 13 -year old girls will only being doing 8 RM back squats because they are forced, rather than because they choose.
Compare that to the daily life of a PE teacher who has 30 children in a class with minimal equipment and limited time in which to teach. Physical education teachers have to create an environment and lesson structure that generates an active interest in a non-volunteer cohort. Their lessons have to show progression, precision and variety. They have contact with the children for many years in a row. A child will be in school for about 13 years, longer than they will be with a single coach, or possibly a sport.
Whilst the S&C coach can judge their status by the success of the top athlete or team with whom they work, the PE teacher is judged by the results of all the children in their class. If the S&C coach applied some of the soft skills and sound practices developed within physical education, they might find that all their athletes improved, rather than just the highly motivated few.
If that teacher has only got a sports science degree and then has done a one year postgraduate certificate in education to become "teacher-trained," they may well get a shock to find out that the pupils respond in a random, chaotic fashion, rather than sit diligently waiting to be measured. Engaging and teaching that class takes a very different skill set.
Case study: coaching and testing the broad jump
The broad jump is frequently used to assess an athlete's ability to demonstrate power. I have been told many times by federation to get a number for each of the athletes that I coach. Often I have been told to do this on Day 1 of meeting the person (they are a person, remember). The introduction then would go like this: "Hi, I am James, I need to get a number from you. I don't care about your dreams, aspirations, background, experience, problems and life. Stand here and jump." The athlete jumped, I measured, they repeated it twice more, I recorded and sent the data to the NGB. We all congratulated ourselves on "a job well done." Two weeks later and the athlete has not got any better and I am then told to have a conversation about their "lack of engagement."
That is not how I approach the broad jump now. Greg Thompson pointed me the way to educational gymnastics. Along that route I found a useful piece about guided discovery and jumping. The broad jump is just a 2 foot to 2 foot action. There are four other possible foot combinations (each of which has multiple variants). You can see me coaching this here:
This has some advantages over just testing:
- I can observe how the athletes move and whether they can jump and land safely or competently.
- They get to lead their own discovery, automatically developing "engagement."
- They can do a lot of repetitions without doing too many of any one thing.
- They learn by doing.
The assumption that every athlete is a competent mover and can perform a maximal effort jump (and landing) test is an assumption too far for me, no matter what their sporting level.
By using some skills gained from physical education, I can help the athlete learn to move and build a trust and rapport with them. This trust has to be earned and I need to work hard to create a safe and positive environment for them rather than be another authority figure with a tape measure and clipboard.
This doesn't mean I am trying to be "down with the kids," rather that I am making an effort to understand what life is like in their shoes.
After a few sessions of developing their jumping, including some exercises where we "see how far you can jump," I can then get a tape measure out and record their maximal effort. I am still uncertain as to what this tells me, other than the obvious, but we can then help the athlete develop their jumping ability and remeasure at a later date.
Learning from PE
Kelvin Giles uses the phrase "Random Number Gatherers" to describe people with clipboards (or tablets) who measure athletes. It is no surprise that many athletes respond indifferently or reluctantly to being treated as a number. We can strive to do better than this as a profession and looking at physical education gives us some ideas of how to do it. Using sound teaching principles from physical education, coaches can develop their athletes and improve the performance measures simultaneously.

I have FINALLY found my holy grail setting powder. I HATE powders because every single one that I've tried, both high end and drug store don't work for setting my makeup, make me look dry , cakey and greasy all at once, and always thoroughly let me down. But the saleswoman who helped me swore by it so I took another chance with little to no expectations. It's WONDERFUL! It's silky smooth, sets my foundation and concealer beautifully, minimizes the appearance of my pores, doesn't look dry, doesn't cake up, and even when I use it for a mid day touch up it doesn't get patchy or weird. It doesn't do a fantastic job at mattifying, but it does well enough that I'm still in love with it. The search is over!
I love this product for baking. It's too messy to use it for dusting it on your face. It controls shine well, and keeps my foundation in place, however, if you have any dry patches, IT WILL CLING AND NOT COME OFF. It will turn the patch white and it won't be pretty, trust me it happened to me. Also if you intend on taking any pictures with flash... Well, don't. It has terrible flashback. Anywhere you put it it will show up. It looks great in person and it feels soft when it's on but on camera it's awful.
DJ from Texas
This leaves a flawless finish and hides my large pores.
Florida Girl from Central Florida
I always shied away from powder because I thought it would make look older or too "made up." I live in Florida though where the heat and humidity are hard on makeup. This was the perfect solution. It's so sheer and light that it's perfect for any skin tone.
AspireAmanda from Orange
The tarte smooth operator Amazonian clay finishing powder gives your face a real filter, face-tuned, airbrushed look. It amazes me every time I apply this powder to my skin. No matter the amount of texture I have for the day showing through my initial foundation application, this finely milled finishing powder comes to the rescue providing a velvety smoothness to my skin.Do avoid applying this product under your eyes because it will darken your concealer immediately. I'd recommend to apply this before powder bronzer and blush, as it allows additional powder products to layer seemlessly. I'd recommend this product to anyone who has yet to try a finishing powder! 4.5 out of 5 stars due to the small lack of versatility not being able to use this under your eyes.
Megan C. from Boonton, NJ
I use this to set my under eyes, and I absolutely love it. It blurs my under eyes, and smooths out my pores. Definitely recommend.
Stacey from Texas
Recommended to me by a friend and it seriously is the BEST setting powder!!
Ambrosia from Kansas
A very smooth powder that doesn't alter the look of your already applied makeup
CV from MO
I LOVE the feel of this on my skin, and how it keeps my mascara from transferring.. all day even on the hottest days. My makeup looks flawless and feels so smooth. To everyone complaining about flashback, I apply a thin layer of bronzer over the top of this and that works wonders.
Britney from San Jose, CA
I used to use drug-store loose powders for baking but wanted to try something new. I was recommend this product by an Ulta employee and was told that it leaves a very smooth and soft texture on the face. After testing it on the back of my hand I was really excited to try it! I used it for baking my face underneath my eyes and my smile lines on the face. It blended so well into my skin and felt so nice BUT as soon as I checked for flashback, it was like I used white out under my eyes, not matter how hard I tried to blend my foundation, my concealer, applying the powder, or switching up my routine here and there, the flashback wouldn't go away.
Trndsstr from Minneapolis
This powder is perfect for post foundation or without for a matte finish. Light and soft on the face.
AylaF from Dallas, TX
I love this product as long as you're not taking pictures with flash! Makes your skin look FLAWLESS! But flashback is worst I have ever experienced lol
Jessie B. from USA
This powder is smooth and clean. It works great in absorbing oils throughout the day :O)
Francy from California
I purchased this alongside with the Amazonian Clay Full coverage foundation. Unfortunately, i looked like I had just put baby powder on my face. I returned this product.
Jade from .
The flashback from this powder is horrendous. Please do not waste your money.
Tina Tucson from Tucson
This powder has been my all time go to. I have tried other brands and always come back to this. There's no other powder like it. It creates such a smooth finish. Does not sink in to lines. I love this stuff
Jennifer from Ohio
I absolutely love this powder! I use it to set my concealer and my foundation.
I have very oily skin and large pores on my cheeks and nose. I can always see my pores no matter what primer, foundation, or technique I do - brush or sponge. Yet somehow, I dab this powder on (with a sponge) and my skin is completely smoothed. No more pores! I love it! I have tried many setting powders that just don't work on my skin or give me that "photoshop smoothing" I want. I love how silky smooth my skin looks and feels with this powder.
For those who say there's a flashback, I don't have this problem. I had it at first when I first started using it and I realized I just wasn't wiping off the access as much as I thought I was. My whole face was perfectly fine but under my eyes caused flashback because I wasn't getting close enough when I wiped off the access. So be sure to dust it off really good after you bake and you will be fine!
I highly recommend this!
Both me (20s), my sister (30s), and my mom(60s) use this
Mkuplover from Charlotte, NC
This product has horrible flashback! Every picture I take while wearing this has my under eyes completely white-even when I think I've blended it enough to not show. I gave it 3 stars because it does look good as long as you don't take any pictures.
Alex from Arizona
At first I liked this product but it has TERRIBLE flashback. I wore it for the first time out to dinner to celebrate an anniversary. All of my pictures were ruined because of the TERRIBLE flashback! :(
Brittney from Indiana
This product has awful flashback and leaves an uneven finish!
Madalyn from Charlotte
I have a terrible white cast that's impossible to blend out, it sticks to my foundation in patches. This is AWFUL
Kat from Baytown, Texas
I had to leave a review because I like this powder so much and I want everyone else to try it too because I don't want them to discontinue it, lol. This powder has amazing coverage! It's the only thing I use on my face. I don't need to try anything else!
Chloe from Washington
This is such a bad powder! It leaves such an uneven finish and a weird white cast on my skin.
Velvet from Cincinnati
Big waste of a powder though it could of been a great idea. it's impossible to apply this with a beauty lender as it will just eat up all your product. Veryyyy finely milled, and drys out your skin and foundation separately, leave you with those cakey- makeup patches and a slip and slidein face. I changed to a firmer brush and seen a slight improvement on application, but the wear time is weak, and the amount of product per jar is definitely a let down. Wouldn't recommend
stiger from New Jersey
So I have only used the product twice, but I have to say I have only used it twice because of the smell! I am not one to be picky or particular about the smell of a product, I can usually bypass that if it works well. But I just don't feel like for the money or the effect that this one is worth it. And I am honestly shocked. I love Tarte, always been a fan. But it honestly smells like a chemical of some sort. Idk what is making it smell that way but I feel like I'm putting a powdered strong chemical onto my face and I don't like that at all. Unfortunately, I'll be returning this.
Sarah from Crandall Tx
It's worth the money! It makes your skin look and feel great.
Livvie from Virginia
Its light and goes perfect as the finishing touch for my look

We then finish up this part by addressing some more-involved reactions of the carbonyls and biomolecules. This method requires the groups attached to the chiral center to be prioritized in order of decreasing atomic weight. The small value for benzene indicates that it is significantly more stable than a triene. Figure 3-20: Example of the oxidation of a primary alcohol to an aldehyde. If the reaction of one double bond releases this amount of energy, then the reaction of two double bonds 1,3-cyclohexadiene should release about twice this amount of energy. Figure 7-14: How a group G influences the reactivity of an aromatic system. You can have arrows pointing in one direction in a step and in the opposite direction in the next step, but resist the temptation to combine these two steps.Next
The presence of a dipole means that the molecule has a partially positive δ+ end and a partially negative δ— end. A proton adjacent to an atom that has a high electronegativity has a lower electron density than a proton adjacent to an atom with a low electronegativity. If the alkyl group has a hydrogen atom benzylic hydrogen on the carbon adjacent to the ring, the alkyl group is susceptible to oxidation. Reactions of alcohols Alcohols represent a very versatile class of compounds for organic synthesis, so a variety of synthetic pathways utilize alcohols. However, the cis isomer can be produced by heating the mixture to 160 degrees Celsius. Figure 3-8: Oxymercurationdemercuration of an alkene to yield an alcohol.Next
Chapter 4: Conjugated Unsaturated Systems 5. The solubility is normally less than 8 grams g per 100 milliliters mL. The distribution of the products depends on the reaction conditions shown in Table 4-1. In many cases, two or more of these mechanisms are competing and more than one product may result. Here's the help you need—in plain English! To make an aromatic system change from a nucleophile into an electrophile, a strong electron-withdrawing group must be present. In both compounds, the heteroatom has two lone pairs. Figure 7-3 illustrates the general reaction for the chlorination of benzene.Next
In Figure 4-2, the resonating electrons in p-orbitals are shown, while the nonresonating electrons in σ-bonds are part of the lines indicating the bonds. Figure 7-10: The generation of an acylium ion. This means that, in theory, four combinations are possible. Some examples appear in Figure 3-16. The attack leads to the formation of the resonance-stabilized sigma complex, followed by the loss of a hydrogen ion to a base. The reduction of a nitro group to make an aryl amine is a way of changing a meta director into an ortho-para activator. Figure 7-17 shows what happens in this case.Next
However, if the system is conjugated, some stability is restored. E G H G E H E This makes a fourth reasonable resonance structure. The use of sodium amide yields aniline as the product. The easy way to take the confusion out of organic chemistry Organic chemistry has a long-standing reputation as a difficult course. Cyclobutadiene Cyclooctatetraene Other aromatics A number of other molecules in addition to those shown in Figures 6-7 and 6-8 are aromatic.
This implies that the simple electrophilic attack is not the key to what product will form. For example, are the electrons moving in the same direction? However, with the exception of combustion, the conditions required by the anti-aromatic systems for reactions that you studied in your first semester organic course are different than the conditions for aromatic systems. However, conjugated dienes may behave differently. Both of the carbon-carbon bonds are equal and intermediate in length between a single and a double bond. To find out about the synthesis and reactions of these types of compounds, check out Chapter 12. This relates to the relative stability of the intermediate carbocation. If the compound contains or may contain nitrogen, the nitrogen rule is applicable.Next
Next, a pair from the π-bond shifts to form another π-bond on the other side of the carbon atom. A college organic chemistry course presents very few completely new mechanisms. Keep this reaction in mind when dealing with any synthesis problem involving an aromatic system. Chemically equivalent nuclei absorb at the same energy level. . The development of the concept of resonance came after Kekulé had proposed the equilibrium structures for benzene. One type of question involves identifying the product, and the other type of question involves identifying the reactants.Next
This formation is especially noticeable at low temperatures because they always favor the kinetic product, which is the reaction product with the lower activation energy barrier. Smelly Relatives: The Aromatic Family Benzene is an important and common aromatic compound. Finally, a bond—to—lone pair transfer takes place. In this case, you must know not only what reactants to use but also the order to use them. Wouldn't it be great to have a single source of quick answers to all our questions about how living things work? Perfecting a few mechanisms goes a long way toward understanding all reaction mechanisms, and, therefore, all organic reactions. In these two compounds, n is not an integer, so these systems are anti-aromatic nonaromatic.Next

What could this be and why does it keep happening?I'm not for sure what happened, but i sat on my bed for a few sobbing and making a wheezing sound. Was this a meltdown or a panic attack?I started to cry uncontrollably, followed by intense shaking, dizziness, lightheadedness, inability to breathe and nauseated. What happened to me?

No mask means full service at Campton Hills coffee shop
Signs at Luau Coffee state it is a 'mask-free environment'
CAMPTON HILLS –�Whereas most businesses have posted signs stating masks are required because of the governor's executive orders regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, Luau Coffee, at 40W450 Route 64 in Campton Hills, is bucking the trend.
Hand-written signs posted on the front and back of the business state: "Notice – This is a mask-free environment. Enter at your own risk."
Keegan O'Rahilly, of St. Charles, had taken his mask down to buy an iced drink while at the coffee shop on Thursday.
"I usually wear a mask," O'Rahilly said.
His companion, who kept her mask on and declined to be named, said she preferred that people wear masks.
Another customer, Anna Murray of Geneva, was not wearing a mask – not only because Luau Coffee has a no-mask policy, but said that the virus has a low transmission rate in Campton Hills.
"I do wear one when I go out, just not here," Murray said.
An employee at Luau Coffee, who declined to give his name, said customers who came in together would sit together but distance themselves from other customers.
When asked if he felt safe not wearing a mask, he replied, "The feelings and opinions of workers are not necessarily those of the management."
State guidelines recommend that employees wear face coverings over their nose and mouth when within six feet of others (cloth masks preferred).
Luau Coffee was in another location across the street for 15 years, but moved to its current location three years ago.
The menu includes various lattes, coffee, ice cream, smoothies and breakfast and lunch items. The mask-free policy is that of owner Neal Anderson, who did not return messages seeking comment.
Anderson, a former Campton Township trustee and former township supervisor, received Campton Hills' first Outstanding Citizen Award in 2018. A lifelong resident of the area, he received the award because he was also an active volunteer with Boy Scouts, the Kane County Fair Chicken Department and volunteered at Garfield and Corron farms, officials said.
Anderson's mask-free environment coffee shop is in direct contradiction to Gov. Pritkzer's executive order that requires a face covering in public places or when working.
"Any individual who is over age 2 and able to medically tolerate a face-covering (a mask or cloth face-covering) shall be required to cover their nose and mouth with a face-covering when in a public place and unable to maintain a six-foot social distance," the May 1 executive order states. "Face-coverings are required in public indoor spaces such as stores."
Howard Katz, of Batavia, was going to stop at the coffee shop recently, but decided not to because of the sign.
"I figured if that's the way they want to do it, I wasn't about to step foot in there," Katz said. "I was meeting somebody for lunch and we were going to get coffee and we saw the sign."
They then walked next door and got something to eat at Joseph's Pizza Cucina, "where everybody was wearing masks," he said.
Katz said he couldn't understand why the coffee shop would take that stance.
"This is the 21st century and we do have something called medical science," he said. "The virus is not a hoax, the virus isn't something planted as a control mechanism to take over the masses. And masks do not cause you to get sick, they help you from either getting sick or making other people sick."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, COVID-19 can be spread by people who do not have symptoms and do not know that they are infected.
"Masks may help prevent people who have COVID-19 from spreading the virus to others," the CDC's website states. "Masks are most likely to reduce the spread of COVID-19 when they are widely used by people in public settings."
The Kane County Chronicle brought the coffee shop's no-mask policy to the attention of the Kane County Health Department. According to an email from Kane County Health Department spokeswoman Susan Stack, the department will be investigating.

text: July 25, 2005 ABB News Facebook LinkedIn Twitter Electrical engineering students at University of Wisconsin - Madison advance motor-control studies, utilizing latest drives technology, courtesy of donation from ABBMADISON, WI, July 25, 2005 - WEMPEC, the Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium, is now incorporating the newest drive technology available into five test benches that support the electrical engineering curriculum and studies of undergraduate and graduate students attending the University of Wisconsin - Madison. The new ABB industrial drives, ACS800 units, were just delivered to WEMPEC, and students in the summer graduate program began incorporating them into new test benches immediately for use in Fall with returning students. Every bench will be outfitted to power a total of seven motors. WEMPEC, formed in 1981, is the world's largest university research center dedicated to the study of electrical machines and power electronics. "Motor drives are a critical part of the research, curriculum and work," according to Dr. Thomas Lipo, professor and co-director of WEMPEC. "So providing students access to the most current technology available provides them the tools that are at work in the marketplace now." Access to Technology, Ideas - "It's a two-way exchange that benefits manufacturers like ABB, as well as this lab and the university," said Kalyan Gokhale, in presenting the drives. Gokhale, who is the head of Research and Development at ABB Inc., Low Voltage Drives, New Berlin, Wisconsin, noted that WEMPEC members receive research reports and "have access to faculty employees to discuss technical issues and cutting-edge research developments." Graduate students also work as summer interns at WEMPEC member companies, he said. "We are delighted to receive the technology, and the timing segues right into the fall semester," said Dr. Bob Lorenz, professor and co-director of WEMPEC with Dr. Tom Lipo. "We know that the ability to offer students both a deep immersion in theory and lab work prepares them for electrical engineering jobs at companies like ABB," he said. "So the importance of having little-to-no distance between this school and the workplace is paramount in importance." Participation in summer programs and national energy contests are additional ways WEMPEC introduces students to their peers around the country. "Our objective is to familiarize them with how learning here can translate directly to work and applications that rely on a thorough understanding of power electronics and how energy conversion works," Lorenz said. "They will work on the energy future." Smart Energy Usage Via Precise Motor Control - Adjustable Speed Drives (ASDs) are used in any application in which there is mechanical equipment powered by motors; the drives provide extremely precise electrical motor control, so that motor speeds can be ramped up and down, and maintained, at speeds required; doing so utilizes only the energy required, rather than having a motor run at constant (fixed) speed and utilizing an excess of energy. These benefits help motor users realize 25-70 percent energy savings, according to ABB experts. The proprietary technology called Direct Torque Control, built into the industrial drives ABB donated, is an example of what WEMPC wants to introduce to students. "DTC delivers full torque to a motor at zero speed, and that is a remarkable capability when you need to control applications such as rubber mixers or centrifuges," Gokhale said. The Wisconsin Electric Machines and Power Electronics Consortium was initiated at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in January 1981. WEMPEC is comprised of a technology focus center at the university that is sponsored by companies that hold an interest in electric machines and power electronics. These sponsors help support an active program in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Department of Mechanical Engineering. With a mission to provide education, research and service, WEMPEC continues to serve as a model for programs dependent on a strong interaction between universities and industry. See: www.wempec.wisc.eduABB Inc., Automation Technologies, Automation Products, Low-Voltage Drives, is the world's largest manufacturer of electric motors and drives. In the USA, an integrated channel of sales representatives, distributors, and system integrators allow ABB, New Berlin, Wis., to supply a complete line of energy-efficient electric drives, motors and engineered drive systems to a wide range of industrial and commercial customers. Products manufactured include AC and DC variable speed drives for electric motors from 1/8th through 135,000 HP, and application-specific drive system solutions to meet diverse customer needs(www.abb-drives.com).ABB (www.abb.us) is a leader in power and automation technologies that enable utility and industry customers to improve performance while lowering environmental impact. The ABB Group of companies operates in around 100 countries and employs about 112, 000 people. The company's U.S. operations employ about 9,000 in manufacturing and other facilities in 40 states.

The CRISPR/Cas9 RNP Complex. The CRISPR associated protein 9 (Cas9) endonuclease (blue) is targeted to DNA by a guide RNA (gRNA), which can be supplied as a two-part system consisting of CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA) or as a single guide RNA (sgRNA), where the crRNA and tracrRNA are connected by a linker (dotted line). Target recognition is facilitated by the protospacer-adjacent motif (PAM). A double strand break (DSB) occurs 3 bp upstream of the PAM.
Multiple Genomic Alterations are Possible Following Cleavage of Target DNA by Cas9. Variable length insertions and/or deletions (indels) can result near the DNA break due to mistakes in DNA repair by the endogenous non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway. These indels frequently result in disruption of gene function. Alternatively, by supplying a DNA repair template, researchers can leverage the homology-directed repair (HDR) pathway to create defined deletions, insertions or other modifications.
What is CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Editing?
CRISPR Facilitates Multiple Types of Genome Modification
The CRISPR/Cas9 system is a powerful tool for genome editing in mammalian cells that allows researchers to generate genetic variants at lower cost and with higher throughput than alternative methods like zinc finger nuclease (ZFN) or transcription activator-like effector nuclease (TALEN) genome editing.

Term Definition
Cas9CRISPR Associated Protein 9 - Cas9 is an RNA-guided DNA endonuclease from the type II CRISPR system of Streptococcus pyogenes that has been adapted for use in genome editing applications.
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats - CRISPR refers to prokaryotic DNA elements involved in adaptive immunity which are characterized by clusters of identi-cal repeats interspaced with non-identical segments called spacers. CRISPR has evolved to refer more generally to the use of Cas9 for genome editing.
crRNACRISPR RNA - One of two RNAs required to form a functional gRNA. The crRNA contains the sequence complementary to the DNA target and a segment of RNA that base pairs with the tracrRNA.
DSBDouble Strand Breaks result from endonucleolytic cleavage of both strands of DNA. This can be achieved through the use of wild type Cas9 or by employing two Cas9 nickases targeting opposite DNA strands.
Guide RNAs bind to Cas9 and direct the complex to a specific genomic location. Naturally occurring guide RNAs consist of two parts: a CRISPR RNA (crRNA) and a trans-activating crRNA (tracrRNA). Alternatively, the crRNA and tracrRNA can be combined into a single chimeric oligonucleotide called a single guide RNA (sgRNA).
Homology Directed Repair is a mechanism of DNA repair that uses a homologous DNA template to rebuild sites of genomic damage. HDR can be leveraged in genome editing experiments to make precise genomic alterations by supplying the desired sequence for insertion flanked by segments of DNA that are homologous to the sequence surrounding the Cas9-induced DSB.
(Insertion/Deletion) Following creation of a DSB by Cas9, the cell initiates DNA damage repair. Repair by the error-prone NHEJ pathway can result in small insertions and/or deletions at the site of cleavage. These indels can cause frameshift mutations or premature stop codons resulting in a genetic knock-out.
Mismatch Assay
A method for detection of indel mutations following Cas9 cleavage. Targeted genomic DNA is amplified by PCR. The PCR products are melted and reannealed to allow heteroduplexes to form between wild-type and mutant DNA. The hybridized products are then incubated with an enzyme that cleaves heteroduplexes but not perfectly matched DNA. The resulting DNA fragments are analyzed by electrophoresis to determine the percentage of cleavage events that results from indel formation.
Non-Homologous End-Joining is the predominant DNA DSB repair mechanism in mam-malian cells. Unlike HDR, NHEJ directly ligates the ends of the DSB and does not require a homologous repair template. Researchers capitalize on the error-prone nature of NHEJ to create indels following targeted cleavage with Cas9.
Protospacer-Adjacent Motif - In the naturally occurring prokaryotic CRISPR/Cas system, the DNA sequences recognized by gRNA are called protospacers. The PAM is a short sequence next to the target site that is required for Cas9 targeting both in prokaryotic adaptive immunity and in mammalian genome editing experiments.
sgRNA Single Guide RNA, a chimeric RNA composed of crRNA and tracrRNA, connected by a short RNA linker.
Target Sequence
A 20 nucleotide genomic DNA sequence which base-pairs with gRNA and is cleaved by Cas9.
tracrRNA Trans-Activating crRNA, one of two RNAs required to form a functional gRNA. The tracrRNA forms base pairs with the crRNA and is required for Cas9-mediated target cleavage.

CRISPR Gene Editing Workflow
Pros and Cons of DNA, RNA and Protein Formats for Genomic Editing. Cas9 can be delivered as plasmid DNA for a simple, low-cost approach. Cas9 mRNA enables rapid gene expression and eliminates the risk of insertional mutagenesis. Cas9/guide RNA ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes exhibit the most rapid pulse of genome editing activity and reduce the possibility of off-target cleavage events. Cas9 mRNA and RNP formats present an alternative strategy to cell types that are resistant to transfection with plasmid DNA.

Nevada has a reputation for its liberal minded approach to the hedonistic and is famously the only state in the USA where brothels are fully licensed and prostitution is legal. As a result of so many adult heading to Nevada seeking pleasures of the flesh, it is no surprise that many massage parlors also offer a menu of services designed to stimulate and arouse their clients. In this guide, we take a look at what kinds of massage services are available in Nevada, city by city as well as looking at the difference between an unlicensed and a licensed venue. Essentially body rubs and massages are perfectly legal and though physical contact is made between masseuse and client, the sole intention of the service is not generally deemed to be one of a sexual nature. Prostitution is legal in some parts of Nevada but is illegal in Clark County and Las Vegas however the state does have licensed brothels where you can receive sexual favors in exchange for a fee.

Are there any places on Las Vegas strip to get a massage - Las Vegas Forum
I know you asked for nonhotel but this one was good. I was there for NYE and saw 2 massage places on the strip. One was in a cluster of souvenior shops along the strip across from City Center. These were not chair massages.
It's stacked with expert advice from locals on what to eat, where to drink, and what to do. As you may have noticed, Las Vegas is drowning in strip clubs. It's what makes this desert town an oasis for bachelor parties and trade shows.

House Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp today told U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius that the Obama administration's 2012 budget proposal "is a mess."
Federal fiscal year 2012 will start Oct. 1.
Sebelius was the only witness at the Ways and Means HHS budget hearing, and she noted that the proposed HHS discretionary budget is slightly below the 2010 level.
"When we found waste, we cut it," Sebelius testified. "When we found duplication, we eliminated it."
Camp, R-Mich., acknowledged that Sebelius and other Obama administration officials have shown willingness to try to fix apparent problems with the Affordable Care Act – the legislative package that includes the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Sebelius, for example, has conceded that the unmodified version of the voluntary worksite long term care program created by the Affordable Care Act appears to be unsustainable, Camp said.
But both the act and the budget proposal are "a mess," Camp said.
"As I look through this budget, I see budget gimmick after budget gimmick, temporary patches paid for with permanent tax increases," Camp said.
The Obama administration is also proposing to eliminate Medicare provider payment cuts without saying how and proposing in 2014 to provide hundreds of billions of dollars in health insurance subsidies "that can't be accounted for," Camp said.
The administration also has failed to propose strategies for reforming Medicare, Camp said.
Republicans suggested last week suggested that a PPACA "defunding" measure could soon come to the floor of the House.

The Little Prince
In my deepest thoughts I always remember the best book ever - The Little Prince.
1. Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
2. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
3. Only children know what they are looking for.
4. What makes the desert beautiful, is that somewhere it hides a well.
5. If some one loves a flower of which just one example exists among all the millions and millions of stars, that's enough to make him happy when he looks at the stars. He tells himself, "My flower's up there somewhere. . . ." But if the sheep eats the flower, then for him it's as if, suddenly, all the stars went out. And that isn't important?
6. One loves the sunset, when one is so sad. "Were you sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?" But the Little Prince made no reply.

May Araw Din Kayo
From http://opinion.inquirer.net/inquireropinion/columns/view/20090817-220654/May-araw-din-kayo
I just love De Quiros. Below is his rant from his Inquirer section "There's the Rub".
Here's the full article:
Tatagalugin ko na nang makuha n'yo. Kahit na lingwaheng kanto lang ang alam kong Tagalog.
Tutal Buwan ng Wika naman ang Agosto. Baka sakali 'yung paboritong wika ni Balagtas ay makatulong sa pag-unawa n'yo dahil mukhang 'yung paboritong wika ni Shakespeare ay lampas sa IQ n'yo. Kung sa bagay, ang pinakamahirap gisingin ay 'yung nagtutulug-tulugan. Ang pinakamahirap padinggin ay 'yung nagbibingi-bingihan. Ang pinakamahirap paintindihin ay 'yung nagmamaangmaangan. Bueno, mahirap din paintindihin 'yung likas na tanga. Pero bahala na.
Sabi mo, Cerge Remonde, alangan naman pakanin ng hotdog ang amo mo. Bakit alangan? Hindi naman vegetarian 'yon. At public service nga 'yon, makakatulong dagdagan ng cholesterol at salitre ang dugong dumadaloy papuntang puso n'ya. Kung meron man s'yang dugo, kung meron man s'yang puso.
Bakit alangan? Malamang di ka nagbabasa ng balita, o di lang talaga nagbabasa, kung hindi ay nalaman mo 'yung ginawa ni Barack Obama at Joe Biden nitong nakaraang Mayo. Galing silang White House patungong Virginia nang magtakam sila pareho ng hamburger. Pina detour nila ang motorcade at tumuloy sa unang hamburgerang nakita nila. Ito ang Ray's Hell Burger, isang maliit at independienteng hamburger joint.
Tumungo ang dalawa sa counter at sila mismo ang nag-order, hindi mga aides. Nagbayad sila ng cash na galing sa sariling bulsa at kagaya ng ibang customers ay pumila para sa turno nila.
Ito ay presidente at bise presidente ng pinakamakapangyarihang bansa sa buong mundo. Kung sa bagay, 'yung amo n'yo ay hindi naman talaga presidente. Di lang makita ang pagkakaiba ni Garci kay God kaya nasabing "God put me here." Pekeng presidente, pekeng asal presidente.
Sabi mo, Anthony Golez, maliit lang ang P1 million dinner kumpara sa bilyon-bilyong pisong dinala ng amo mo sa bansa.
Ay kayo lang naman ang nagsasabing may inambag ang amo n'yo na bilyong-bilyong piso sa kaban ng bayan. Ni anino noon wala kaming nakita. Ang nakita lang namin ay yung bilyon-bilyong piso—o borjer, ayon nga sa inyong dating kakosa na si Benjamin Abalos—na inaswang ng amo n'yo sa kaban ng bayan. Executive privilege daw ang hindi n'ya sagutin ito. Kailan pa naging pribilehiyo ng isang opisyal ang di managot sa taumbayan? Kailan pa naging pribilehiyo ng isang opisyal ang magnakaw?
Maliit lang pala ang P1 million, ay bakit hindi n'yo na lang ibigay sa nagugutom? O doon sa mga sundalo sa Mindanao? Tama si Archbishop Oscar Cruz. Isipin n'yo kung gaano karaming botas man lang ang mabibili ng P1 million at karagdagang P750,000 na nilamon ng amo n'yo at mga taga bitbit ng kanyang maleta sa isa pang restawran sa New York.
Maliit lang pala ang P1 million (at P750,000), bakit hindi n'yo na lang ibigay doon sa pamilya ng mga sundalong namatay sa Mindanao? Magkano 'yung gusto n'yong ibigay sa bawat isa? P20,000? Sa halagang iyan 50 sundalo na ang maaabuluyan n'yo sa $20,000. Pasalu-saludo pa 'yang amo n'yo sa mga namatay na kala mo ay talagang may malasakit. Bumenta na 'yang dramang 'yan. At pasabi-sabi pa ng "Annihilate the Abus!" Di ba noon pa n'ya 'yan pinangako? Mahilig lang talagang mangako 'yang amo n'yo.
Bukod pa d'yan, saan ba nanggaling 'yung limpak-limpak na salapi ng mga kongresista na pinansisindi nila ng tabako? Di ba sa amin din? Tanong n'yo muna kung ayos lang na i-blowout namin ng wine at caviar ang amo n'yo habang kami ay nagdidildil ng asin—'yung magaspang na klase ha, 'di yung iodized. Ang tindi n'yo, mga p're.
At ikaw naman, Romulo Macalintal, tapang ng apog mo. Maiisip mo tuloy na sundin na lang ang mungkahi ni Dick the Butcher sa "Henry VI" ni Shakespeare: "First thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers." Pa ethics-ethics ka pa, pasalamat ka di nasunog ang bibig mo sa pagbigkas ng katagang 'yon.
Marami mang sugapa rin sa aming mga taga media, di naman kasing sugapa n'yo. At di naman kami sineswelduhan ng taumbayan. Wala naman kaming problemang sumakay sa PAL at kailangan pang bumili ng P1.2 billion jet. Anong sabi n'yo, kailangan ng amo n'yo sa pabyahe-byahe? E sino naman ang may sabing magbabyahe s'ya? Ngayon pang paalis na s'ya—malinaw na ayaw n'yang umalis. Bakit hindi na lang s'ya bumili ng Matchbox na eroplano? Kasya naman s'ya ro'n.
Lalo kayong nagpupumiglas, lalo lang kayong lumulubog sa kumunoy. Di n'yo malulusutan ang bulilyasong ginawa n'yo. Para n'yo na ring inagaw ang isinusubong kanin ng isang batang nagugutom. Tama si Obama at Biden: Sa panahon ng recession, kung saan nakalugmok ang mga Amerikano sa hirap, dapat makiramay ang mga pinuno sa taumbayan, di nagpapakapariwara. Sa panahon ng kagutuman, na matagal nang kalagayan ng Pinoy, at lalo pang tumindi sa paghagupit ng Typhoon Gloria, dapat siguro uminom na lang kayo ng insecticide. Gawin n'yo 'yan at mapapawi kaagad ang kagutuman ng bayan.
Sa bandang huli, buti na rin lang at ginawa n'yo 'yung magpasasa sa P1 million dinner habang lupaypay ang bayan sa kagutuman—di lang sa kawalan ng pagkain kundi sa iba pang bagay—at pagdadalamhati sa yumaong Ina ng Bayan. Binigyan n'yo ng mukha ang katakawan. Katakawang walang kabusugan. Mukhang di nakita ng masa sa usaping NBN, mukhang di nakikita ng masa sa usaping SAL. Mukhang nakita lang ng masa dito sa ginawa n'yong ito. Sa pagpapabondat sa New York habang naghihinagpis ang bayan.
At buti na rin lang mayroon tayong sariling wika. Di sapat ang Inggles para iparamdam sa inyo ang suklam na nararamdaman namin sa inyo. Di sapat ang Inggles para ipakita sa inyo ang pagkamuhi na nararamdaman namin sa inyo. Di maarok ng Inggles ang lalim ng poot na nararamdaman namin sa inyo.
Isinusuka na kayo ng taumbayan, mahirap man sumuka ang gutom.
May araw din kayo.

3D Over(drive)
Once in a while there comes an endeavour that is iconic, challenging, and a benchmark of an individual or a group's resolve. It may not hold a candle to the numerous spectacular CG projects out in the market but this one has become very personal - in many ways it has reawakened me to the very essence of why I do what I do and why I love doing it despite the odds. Iconic because of what it represents - speed - in a rapidly evolving CG industry the only way for us to compete is to gain such. Challenging - because time was not in our favor, yet what we tried to achieve within that we have done, and more. A Benchmark - as team members' individual resolves were put to the test, indeed only in adversity will one's character emerge.
I have come to realize that CG is not a justification of artistry rather more, as in any profession, a discipline. Quality doesn't demand just time - it demands passion first and foremost. With this in mind - time becomes relative.
To the team that made this possible - and to a large extent the people I respect within the industry - we can all say we've pulled this off quite well. The handshakes, smiles and applause of the ones who gave us this opportunity - the clients - make it all worthwhile.

Movie Review : Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen
Hohum. Slept through half of the movie. Sure, ILM is still the dominant force in mind blowing special effects, but that's about it. Michael Bay is losing his touch. This sequel doesn't match up to the impact of the first movie.
Megan Fox looks like every part of her assets (including her lips) has got hemorrhoids.

Movie Review :: Coraline (2009)
I'm a sucker for movies that give you that wow factor. Which, in an age of stunning 3D movies and eye candy anime, seem to be a rarity.
Then you get Coraline, an instant animation classic. A combination of stop-motion animation and CG enhanced effects (though approximately 95% of it is still stop-motion). The magic of its technical approach is enough to engage you for 2 hours, but the real treat is the story itself. Nay a dull moment, the script was brilliantly written, the color palette is simply awesome (while other animations use a pack of 12 crayolas, Coraline seems to be using the whole 133 set), and the sheer creative imagination of the author is refreshing. The whole movie just ascends to one magnificent visual frame after the other as the story progresses. If I were to list my top 10 animation movies of all time, Coraline would probably be at the top 3.

Cat Serial Killer on the Loose - and He's in UP Diliman

BOULDER, Colo.—February 25, 2014—The I-Light network — Indiana's high performance, optical fiber research and education (R&E) telecommunications network — announced it has entered into a long-term agreement with the Zayo Group, LLC ("Zayo"), a global provider of fiber-based Bandwidth Infrastructure services, to provide fiber for the I-Light network backbone.
I-Light connects to the nation's most advanced R&E networks, such as Internet2 and National LambdaRail. Under the 20-year indefeasible right of use (IRU) agreement, I-Light receives access to Zayo's advanced and fully upgradeable dark fiber. This will enable I-Light to continue providing Indiana with broadband connectivity, as well as new and enhanced services.
Typically long-term agreements, IRUs are key components of building or expanding infrastructure. The original 2006 contract with Zayo was slated to continue until 2016 and included a right to renew for an additional 10 years. By renewing before the 2016 deadline, IU will save an estimated $2 million. The new agreement expires in 2033.
"Renewing the Zayo contract really secures the future of I-Light for the long term," says Marianne Chitwood, director of I-Light. "By paying for the IRUs now, we lock in the fiber and maintenance costs, ultimately reducing our overall operating costs."
"Zayo's dark fiber is designed to meet the growing bandwidth needs of collaborative networks like I-Light that demand high-speed, reliable and secure service," says Zach Nebergall, vice president of dark fiber for Zayo Group.
Over the next 20 years, as the needs of Indiana colleges and universities grow, the IRUs will ensure that I-Light is better positioned to accommodate them. "Today, we have a 10 Gigabits per second (Gbps) backbone, but we could easily upgrade that to 100 Gbps just by swapping out electronics on the backbone," says Chitwood.
About Zayo Group
Based in Boulder, Colo., Zayo Group provides comprehensive Bandwidth Infrastructure services in over 300 markets throughout the US and Europe. Zayo delivers a full suite of managed services and dark fiber products to wireline and wireless customers, data centers, Internet content providers, high-bandwidth enterprises, and government agencies across its robust 77,000 route mile network. The company also offers 26 carrier-neutral colocation facilities across the US. Please visit www.zayo.com for more information about Zayo and its fiber solutions.

Nascar Auto Racing Case Study
Autor: rita • April 12, 2011 • Case Study • 465 Words (2 Pages) • 1,168 Views
NASCAR auto racing used to be one of the most popular shows on today's television, but before the opening day the 2010-2011 Nascar season the viewer ratings were down. Nascar is "losing some of its core fans, series officials have decided to embrace good-ol'-boy racing once again."(Bernstein) Some sources say that people have stopped watching nascar because of the safety requirements put into place. "Driver Tony Stewart was indignant when asked if Nascar was somehow too safe. "I don't think fans that watch Nascar want to watch their drivers get hurt." (Bernstein) Other close related topics are Nascar safety, Bill France, Daytona 500 and Atlanta speedway. The contribution to this article is Bernstein is a sports writer for the New York Times.
The sources I have used to gather my information are Nascar.com, Wikipedia, Washington post, and New York Times. Viv Bernstein writes for the New York Times. She follows mostly basketball, Nascar, football and occasionally other sports. She has a long range of articles. The argument this author address is Nascar's viewer rating going down because of all the safety standers being set into place. From the Sources she gathered from, they all say no. "Nascar has created more opportunities to race side-by-side — and more chances for crashes — through rules changes in the last year, from double-file restarts to multiple restarts at the end of races as officials try for a green-flag finish." (Bernstein) Also from Bernstein article but quoted from Nascar President Mike Helton "Nascar racing from Day 1 has always been highly competitive and there's an age-old saying that Nascar, if you ain't rubbin', you ain't racin,' " Nascar Stated "The speed and the element of danger has always been a little intriguing even to the fans out there, that that possibility is out there. You don't want to see it happen." These three quotes

Each year, our little town of Thames (population 6,756 at the 2006 census) celebrates its roots with a week of activities. Thames Heritage Week is an opportunity to learn more about the town and area in a fun and interesting way.
During Thames Heritage Week, there is a variety of History Walks, where someone leads a group of people around an area and explain the history of what they are seeing. Each area of town has a different history, and thus, a different History Walk. We have (so far) attended one of these History Walks, the one for the Hall's Reserve, the oldest arboretum in New Zealand, established and planted around 1873. The Walk was fascinating, seeing how the various native and imported species interact and compete. We will also attend another one or two History Walks this week.
Also for Thames Heriage Week, many of the historic buildings are open to the public, buildings which are not always available for viewing. There are displays of paintings and photographs, some historic and some more modern, showing various parts of Thames and various aspects of life in the 19th century. There are also art works on display around town, showing the history of crafts in the past couple centuries. I find the Maori art fascinating, seeing how intricately people can carve various materials.
There are also concerts and plays and other presentations. There are several galas and festivals. We attended my first school gala (like a school carnival or fair back in California). There were crafts and food and other items for sale, and the students of South School sang several Maori songs. We wandered around the school watching different things, viewing the historic South School, and then ate a hamburger each before watching the singers. It was a fun evening.
We also watched the Trolley Derby, where kids and adults coast down a rather steep hill in their homemade carts. The average speeds were above 50 kilometres per hour (about 30 miles per hour), and one fast cart reached 59 kph (over 35 mph). Some of the trolleys didn't fare as well as others and ended up having to be pushed across the finish line. This was a very fun event.

Our church will host the Heritage Church Service this Sunday. Only acoustical instruments will be played, and we'll sing from hymn books, rather than by seeing the words on the overhead projector. No electronics or electrical systems will be used this Sunday at Thames Baptist Church, which means that I won't be allowed to use my iTouch NASB Bible. I guess I'll have to take my paper Bible this week.
Thames Heritage Week is fun and interesting, and we are very glad to be here to enjoy the many activities and displays.
