James Franco
Did you ever see Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke? That's what happens if you really smoke weed and make a movie. James Franco
A quick Google search of the name James Franco reveals, unsurprisingly, pictures of Franco as James Dean, whom he played in a 2001 television movie, as well as some pictures of him looking intensely handsome like James Dean and some pictures of him just looking intensely handsome because that's how James Franco looks when he has his picture taken. There are also the attendant interviews and message boards and discussion groups and rumor pits. But the search also reveals videos. Funny videos. There's a clip of Franco reenacting a scene from The Hills with actress Mila Kunis. There's a clip with the title "Acting With James Franco," in which he forces his younger brother Dave to play Sal Mineo to his Dean in a scene from Rebel Without a Cause [1955]. There's even a clip of Franco weeping over his mother Betsy's handling of the death of his childhood pet, an incontinent cat named Toby. (There is also a clip of his mother's rebuttal-"Have you ever heard of toxoplasmosis?")
For his part, the 30-year-old Franco, who grew up outside San Francisco in Palo Alto, California, has adopted the time-honored actorly practice of seeking out opportunities that play against type—and this year, he appears to have found two such roles. There is, of course, his recent turn as Chong to Seth Rogen's Cheech in the surprise stoner-comedy hit Pineapple Express, which reunited him with Rogen and producer Judd Apatow, both of whom he worked with on the cult TV series Freaks and Geeks. And then there is his role in Gus Van Sant's Milk, a film about the life of openly gay San Francisco city supervisor and activist Harvey Milk (played by Sean Penn), whose assassination in 1978 rendered him a symbol for the cause of gay rights in America. (Franco plays Milk's campaign manager and longtime lover, Scott Smith; the movie is set for release on November 26, one day before the 30th anniversary of Milk's killing.)
Sandwiched between Pineapple Express and Milk is an appearance this month alongside Richard Gere and Diane Lane in George C. Wolfe's Nights in Rodanthe. Franco also recently moved from Los Angeles to New York City to pursue his M.F.A. in writing at Columbia University. So who is the real James Franco? An existential handwringer? A joker? A smoker? A midnight toker? Maybe we'll never know. But calling from his home in Portland, Oregon, Franco's Milk director, Van Sant, gives us a glimpse.
GUS VAN SANT: How are you doing?
JAMES FRANCO: Pretty good. I'm in New York, which is weird.
GVS: Why?
JF: I don't know. It feels like I just saw you, but now I'm in New York, and we're talking on the phone.
GVS: Where are you staying?
JF: At the Bowery Hotel, which is actually really cool. It has a great interior and everything. I'm moving here, so I have an apartment, but it's not furnished yet. It's pretty coincidental, but I think the B-52s used to own the building it's in.
GVS: Oh, really?
JF: Yeah. It's funny because in my apartment in Los Angeles, I lived under this woman-your friend-who is a costume designer from Idaho. You would visit her, and you guys would all sing the song "Private Idaho" by the B-52s, which is where the title of your movie [My Own Private Idaho, 1991] came from. You know, one of my favorite Interview interviews was you and River Phoenix. But I guess he was interviewing you.
GVS: Yeah. I remember transcribing that one myself.
JF: Oh, really?
GVS: Yeah. River recorded it, but I transcribed it.
JF: You were going to do a movie with River about Andy Warhol, right?
GVS: Yeah. River kind of looked like Andy in his younger days. But that project never really went forward. I wanted to set it at Serendipity, the restaurant where all of the art directors and advertising guys and gallery people went.
JF: The first piece of art that I ever bought-when I could afford it-was a Warhol sketch from the period when he was just getting out of doing commercial work and more into art. It's a sketch of a young guy's face. I guess the gallery that I bought it from thought I would like it because the young guy kind of looked like James Dean. I don't know. But I liked it because it was unusual for Warhol. It was kind of before the silk screens or anything that is really recognizable—it's almost like a fashion drawing, but it's a portrait.
GVS: Yeah, he did a lot of that in that period. I was kind of all set to do the Warhol movie at one time—I even had a financing party. Maybe I'll go back to that someday.
JF: Milk was in the works for a long time, too, right?
GVS: Yeah. And when something takes a long time to happen and you're thinking about it over and over, by the time you do it, all that history becomes part of it.
JF: Now, am I correct in thinking that you always wanted Sean Penn?
GVS: I did offer the role of Harvey Milk to Sean—in '98, I think it was. I thought maybe I could get it going if I got stars connected to it, so I was trying to get Sean Penn to play Harvey Milk, and Tom Cruise to play Dan White [the former city supervisor who assassinated Milk]. But I was kind of a bad producer. I thought because they weren't calling me, they didn't really want to do it. But that's not really the way it works.
JF: And was there any response from Tom Cruise?
GVS: I talked to him on the phone. He was shooting the [Stanley] Kubrick movie Eyes Wide Shut [1999]. At the same time, I flew down to L.A. and had a meeting with Sean. It was just at a weird time in Sean's life where . . . [splashing noise] My dog just jumped into the pool. Could you hear that?
JF: Yeah.
GVS: He is something . . . Anyhow, Sean was going through a period where he was just about to move to San Francisco and he was having a difficult time with his family, so I really needed to be calling him and not, like, hoping that he would call back. At one point, I wanted River to play Cleve Jones [an associate of Milk's who conceived of the AIDS quilt].
JF: Oh, really?
GVS: Yeah. In '93, I guess it was. We actually moved to San Francisco to edit Even Cowgirls Get the Blues [1993] so that I could just be there. I was living in Cleve's house and I was sort of thinking about different things. River and I would talk, you know, like once a week or so, and I kept telling him, "I've got this role for you. It's Cleve Jones." He wasn't as into the Cleve Jones idea as he was the Warhol. It wasn't really the starring role. That was probably what it was—that it wasn't Harvey Milk.
JF: Did you have anybody in mind for my character, Scott Smith, way back when?
GVS: No. I was just trying to get Harvey Milk and Dan White. Once we got those parts cast, we would get things going.
JF: I actually wanted to ask you about the real Scott Smith, because when you first started working on Milk, he was still alive, right? [Smith died in 1995.]
GVS: Yeah, he was.
JF: It was surprisingly hard to find material on him. Even in Randy Shilts's book The Mayor of Castro Street or any of the books on that period, they'll kind of mention him here and there but not give anything substantial about what he was like. Finally, I went to Rob Epstein, who made the documentary on Harvey Milk that Scott's in [The Times of Harvey Milk, 1984] for, like, two seconds, and I asked him if he had any material. Rob had done a pre-interview with Scott for the documentary, so finally I got to hear how he talked and see how he behaved.
GVS: Scott had a Mississippi accent.
JF: Yeah. Slight. He had a little twang. The interview was done something like two years after Harvey was killed. When I played James Dean, I talked to some of his old friends and everybody had a different take on him, and I felt something similar about trying to find out about Scott and his relationship with Harvey. Obviously Harvey was assassinated, and so his life just stopped abruptly. But his relationship with Scott didn't end . . . They were not necessarily a couple when Harvey died, but when something like that happens there are all these loose ends. And with somebody like Harvey who is so important, it's like keeping his memory alive then becomes a major part of a lot of people's lives. It's hard when you're doing a film based on a true story to really figure out what all those relationships were.
I remember we were all sitting around on the set of Milk and I said, 'I saw High School Musical.' I said it like I had never sounded so interested in anything before.James Franco
GVS: Yeah, definitely. Harvey's relationship with Scott was his most established relationship. When Harvey died, it was as if Scott just said, "Okay, well, I was basically the main boyfriend." So Scott took over the responsibility of being the Widow Milk. He called himself the Widow Milk.
JF: Did Scott come up with that?
GVS: Yeah, I think he came up with that.
JF: I know that you're supposed to be interviewing me, but I'm going to interview you a little bit. When River interviewed you, he would ask you questions about how you felt when you were filming a particular scene and stuff like that.
GVS: He would ask really specific questions like "What's your favorite color?"
JF: Didn't he have a list of questions at the end?
GVS: He had some kind of list.
JF: He had some weird questions. He actually asked you one about the scene where the barn falls on the road in My Own Private Idaho. That was an important image to you when you were painting.
GVS: It was a house. I used to do paintings of this house-I mean, it was sort of toward the end of my painting career. It was a house that had a red roof and it was crashing, not on a road, but into the ground. Then there was this collage I made of objects floating above the road. There was a stewardess and a viola and a pilot-you know, I was cutting them out of these advertisements.
JF: Well, you went back to painting, and one of my prize possessions now is a painting that you made and gave to me. I guess there was a book of paintings or drawings [Federico] Fellini did that you said were based on his dreams?
GVS: Yeah, yeah.
JF: And that's kind of how you got back to painting?
GVS: Well, I just recently got that book. What got me back into painting was that Philip Glass had written to me, asking if I wanted him to do the score for a film, but the letter was lost. It was sent to the wrong address, and so the letter was really six months too late. I was planning to write him back, but it had been so long that I felt like I needed to make something to give him as an offering to apologize, so I was making these paintings. I haven't made his painting yet.
JF: So I got Philip Glass's painting . . . [laughs]
GVS: Well, I made a bunch of them, and I never gave him one. But I can make them really fast.
JF: You know, the first time that we met was, like, five years before we even met for Milk. I'm pretty sure it was when you came and saw the play that I co-wrote called The Ape.
GVS: Yeah.
JF: When we were doing one of the costume fittings for Milk, you brought it up. You were like, "I remember going to see The Ape. What happened to that?" And I was like, "Well, I did make it into a movie . . ." You still haven't seen the movie.
GVS: No, I haven't seen it. The play was a comedy, though. You fell and stuff like that. It was physical comedy.
JF: There was physical comedy-it was basically a guy in an ape mask. But it was very obvious that it was an ape mask, and that's what I liked about it. I had bought this wacky ape mask for something else, and I thought, "Wow, this mask is kind of scary but also kind of funny. We could write a whole play around this mask." The jaw actually moved.
GVS: You did another play about picking up girls with certain—
JF: [laughs] Yeah, well, there were two one-acts, and so it was The Ape and-
GVS: You didn't like that other one?
JF: We wrote the other one, too-me and my writing partner at the time, Merriwether Williams. He wrote for SpongeBob SquarePants. The other play was called Fool's Gold. It was kind of inspired by stories that I had heard at acting school, but then there was also this guy I worked with named Max Martini . . . We worked together on this movie, and he had been, like, Brad Pitt's roommate. I don't know if they had been to acting school together, but he was like, "Yeah, man, I just went to acting school to pick up girls, and we knew which scenes to do"—like the romantic scenes. He said, "You've got to always use Fool for Love by Sam Shepard." But I don't know-it has a great title, but it's not that romantic a play. It's actually kind of incestuous-these people who are in love find out that they're brother and sister . . . So we used that in our play, but I know better scenes if you're really —going to try and pick up a girl.
GVS: Really?
JF: Well, I'm bad with the names of the things, but there's a horrible one that starts out almost like a rape scene. I think Farrah Fawcett did the movie version of it [Extremities, 1986]-it's a scene where the woman turns on her attacker.
When we were doing Freaks and Geeks, I didn't quite understand how movies and TV worked, and I would improvise even if the camera wasn't on me . . . So I was improvising a little bit back then, but not in a productive way. James Franco
GVS: Right. I saw that onstage. She puts him in the fireplace.
JF: I know some guys who use that one. But I remember reading an interview with Robert Duvall and Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman, and I guess they were all roommates back when they were in acting school, and they were like, "Yeah, we just went for the girls." It seemed every actor said, "Oh, yeah. I just went to acting school to meet girls." Even the greats were doing it. So I was like, "All right, maybe we can write a play about two guys who do that." We made a movie out of that one, too. I directed it, but it was so . . . I don't know. It turned out badly. I'll never show it to anybody.
GVS: You filmed it?
JF: Yeah, we filmed it. It was hard to adapt.
GVS: So I have some questions for you on this piece of paper.
JF: What's my favorite color?
GVS: No. Actually, what I have written down is "Zac-slash-romance."
JF: What?
GVS: And it says "stoner-slash-wind in hair."
JF: Oh, it's wind in your eyes.
GVS: It's wind in your eyes? That's how you made yourself look stoned in Pineapple Express?
JF: [laughs] Because I don't . . . I just played a stoner in Pineapple Express, and I don't really smoke weed anymore, so everyone says, "Oh, you looked really high in the movie. How did you do that?" And I say, "Oh, I just pretend the wind is in my eyes."
GVS: You have to use certain words like dude. You say dude . . .
JF: I don't know how much I say dude in Pineapple Express. I probably say it once or twice. I'm sure I say man. I certainly say bro.
GVS: So the lines that were written in the script for Pineapple Express-were they basically what we were seeing on the screen?
JF: Oh, no.
GVS: So in that movie, you're improvising a stoner as well as just pretending there's wind in your eyes.
JF: Yeah, well, I don't actually use the wind in my eyes-I just rub my eyes a bit and talk slowly or something. When Seth and me were doing interviews for the movie, everybody would ask us if we were smoking real weed when we were filming. And basically we'd say, "Did you ever see Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke? That's what happens if you really smoke weed and make a movie. You get two guys and no plot and it's basically like, 'Yeah! Let's drive a van made of weed!' " And that's pretty much the movie.
GVS: But when you're working with these guys like Seth and Judd Apatow—some of them do stand-up comedy, right?
JF: I mean, it's in their backgrounds.
GVS: I used to work for a comedian.
JF: You did?
I had bought this wacky ape mask for something else, and I thought, 'Wow, this mask is kind of scary but also kind of funny. We could write a whole play around this mask.' The jaw actually moved. James Franco
GVS: Yeah. Actually, that's how I got my start. His name is Kenny Shapiro and I was his assistant for about three years. He made The Groove Tube [1974], which later inspired parts of Saturday Night Live. Lorne Michaels had worked with Ken, and Ken had sort of pitched that same concept of skit humor for this late-night show. Chevy Chase was in The Groove Tube-he was a friend of Shapiro's. So I worked for Ken, but I was not a funny person. I couldn't tell a joke or anything like that—I was just surrounded by these comedians.
JF: Well, I have to say that I think Drugstore Cowboy [1989] is hilarious.
GVS: I mean, there's funniness, but it's not like a showbiz comedy.
JF: No, but Matt Dillon is pretty damn funny in that. Like, the hat on the bed . . .
GVS: But there's an interesting element to the Judd Apatow world in that it's sort of a mixture of comedians and noncomedians in the same films. On Pineapple Express you were working with a lot of the same people you'd worked with on Freaks and Geeks, right? Was the kind of improvisation you did similar?
JF: Yeah, but Freaks and Geeks was TV, so there were lines you had to say. There was a little improvisation, but nothing like what Judd and those guys do in their movies now. I think I would try and improvise more than anybody on that show. When we were doing Freaks and Geeks, I didn't quite understand how movies and TV worked, and I would improvise even if the camera wasn't on me. I thought I was helping the other actors by keeping them on their toes, but nobody appreciated it when I would trip them up. So I was improvising a little bit back then, but not in a productive way. [laughs]
GVS: So we haven't talked about Zac yet.
JF: What is Zac?
GVS: Zac Efron.
JF: Oh. Well, yeah, we can talk about Zac.
GVS: Where did you see him?
JF: I met him for the first time backstage at the MTV Movie Awards. Lucas Grabeel, who is in Milk, is also in High School Musical [2006] with Zac Efron, and so we had been talking about High School Musical a lot. I hadn't seen it, but my girlfriend was a big fan of the movie-I don't know why. She was like, "You've got to watch it." And I was like, "All right, I'll watch it because Lucas is in it." So I watched it, and I guess I could kind of see the appeal. Some of the songs are kind of catchy. There's one where Zac is playing basketball, but it's also like a musical number . . . I don't know. [laughs] I remember we were all sitting around on the set of Milk and I said, "I saw High School Musical." I said it like I had never sounded so interested in anything before. Then I think you said that you had tried to get Zac for a small role in Milk.
GVS: Yeah. The pizza guy. He never had time.
JF: Right. So then when I saw him at the MTV Movie Awards, I was like, "Hey, man. Good to meet you, Zac. I really like the movie, and I just worked with Gus, and he tried to get you in his movie." And Zac was like, "Yeah, yeah. It just didn't work out." And I was like, "Well, you should really do a movie with Gus. I think it would be a good contrast to your other stuff." He's like, "Yeah, maybe." And then I was walking away to go back to my seat, and he tapped me on the shoulder and said, "We should do it together, man." And he, like, gave me a high five. He was really the nicest guy.
GVS: Yeah. He is really nice. We should all do a Judd Apatow movie. You and Zac and me.
JF: Yeah. You should do a movie that Judd produces, and we'll do it with Zac. What do you think?
GVS: Keep your eyes open for it.
JF: What kind of movie do you think it could be?
GVS: I'll have to think about that one.
JF: If you have an idea and it's like me and Zac playing basketball or delivering pizzas or whatever, I'm in.

A UChicago Medicine program shares specialized knowledge to improve health care in the city.
For many Chicagoans, access to specialized medical care is "a substantial problem," says Daniel Johnson, LAB'73, academic pediatrics section chief at the University of Chicago Medicine. Specialists are rare in low-income neighborhoods, and long travel times, high costs, and "ungodly long" waits can make it impractical or impossible for patients referred to an endocrinologist or infectious disease specialist to get the care they need. "And what do patients do now who can't get access to the subspecialists in a timely way or at all?" asks Johnson. "They deteriorate, they go to the emergency room, they get hospitalized."
Six years ago his colleague Tamara Hamlish, AM'87, PhD'95, heard about a program called Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes (ECHO) run by the University of New Mexico. ECHO aims to improve access to subspecialty care in rural areas by training community providers to handle more complex cases themselves. Using videoconferencing technology, specialists can efficiently provide education on topics like hepatitis C or palliative care to community doctors who otherwise would not have the time or resources to pursue such training. "I said that it would be perfect for us to initiate here on the South Side of Chicago," recalls Johnson.
The University of Chicago Medicine's Urban Health Initiative soon launched the nation's first urban iteration of the ECHO program. The rural model was modified slightly to meet the needs of busier inner-city providers; for example, all ECHO-Chicago videoconferencing sessions start at 8 a.m. because "that's when they have the most control over their workday," says Johnson. But at its core, ECHO-Chicago, like the original program, draws on a tried-and-true model of medical education: rounding. During each session, a UChicago Medicine expert gives a short lesson, and then community providers present cases that are discussed as a group during the videoconference. "And that's basically the model medical education has shown to work the best," says Johnson. "That's how we train residents."
The initial focus of ECHO-Chicago was resistant hypertension, or uncontrolled high blood pressure—the condition ECHO-Chicago's community health center partners had cited as their biggest area of concern. Johnson and Hamlish, now ECHO-Chicago's director and executive director, respectively, recruited George Bakris, AM'75, director of the University of Chicago Medicine's comprehensive hypertension center, as the program's first subject-matter expert to lead the virtual rounds. A preliminary review of the patients managed by ECHO-Chicago–trained community providers showed improved patient outcomes at partner sites—after taking the course, participating doctors were bringing about half of their resistant hypertension patients under control, a success rate equivalent to what had been seen in Bakris's own clinic.
What's more significant, Johnson says, is that an early analysis showed a 10 to 15 percent change in the type of hypertension prescriptions written by the ECHO-Chicago participants. The change seems small, he says, but it would mean ECHO-Chicago is "one of the first groups to ever show a change in provider behavior as the result of a continuing medical education intervention."
The ECHO-Chicago program, with the support of grant funding and partnerships with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and other public and private organizations, has expanded to offer free curricula on child and youth epilepsy, hepatitis C, childhood obesity, women's health care, and pediatric attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. A course on integrated mental and behavioral health is in the works. To date, more than 300 providers from 26 health care organizations have participated.
For Johnson, a South Side native who has spent most of his career working in low-income areas, ECHO-Chicago presents a workable way to raise the quality of available care in underserved communities. He's encouraged that the ECHO model is now being used across the country, including major cities like Boston and Los Angeles. "It's our belief, and we think we're beginning to prove, that you can uptrain primary care providers to be able to handle more common complex chronic conditions," says Johnson, "and that should significantly improve the health care of a large group of patients."

Depending on the circumstances surrounding the sale of your property, you could wind up having to pay capital gains taxes to Uncle Sam come tax time.
A capital gain is the profit you make when selling real estate after deducting the costs associated with the sale – such as real estate commissions, legal fees, or costs associated with making necessary improvements. Capital gains are typically taxable, though the rate at which they are taxed depends on a few factors.
Let's dive into capital gains and how they are taxed into a little more detail.
How Long You've Held Onto the Property Affects Your Tax Rate
The IRS taxes capital gains based on whether they're classified as short-term or long-term. If you sell a property after owning it for less than one year, this will be considered a short-term investment and any gains you make will be taxed as regular income. On the other hand, if you've owned the property for at least one year and a day, this will be considered long-term and your profits will be taxed as much as 20% depending on your tax bracket. For the majority of people, however, it's 15%.
In addition, you'll have to pay state income taxes on your capital gains income, and in California, that rate is 13.3% – the highest in the country.
Factor Depreciation Into the Equation
If this is an investment property that you 'depreciated' after wear and tear over the years, you might have to recapture some of that amount when you sell. As such, you'll need to pay state and federal taxes at your marginal rate.
The IRS will expect depreciation to be calculated when you sell an investment property, so you should make sure you take advantage of depreciation while you still own the property. You can depreciate the actual structure of the property, as well as any additional capital investments you made to improve the place.
You'll be limited to a certain time period to deduct depreciable assets, which is 27.5 years for residential properties versus 39 years for commercial properties. The amount that your annual net income would be reduced by after taking into account your depreciable assets can be calculated using a simple straight line of depreciation method.
In the case of a residential property that costs $200,000, for instance, you would realize a yearly deduction of $7,272 ($300,000 ÷ 27.5). At tax time, your annual net income would be decreased by $7,272, which effectively lowers the amount of taxes the IRS would take.
In addition to the structure itself, you can also depreciate things such as appliances, HVAC systems, electrical and plumbing systems, landscaping, new roof, new windows, equipment to maintain the property, legal fees, and so forth. Items like these have a much shorter depreciation period compared to the structure, which can range from five to seven years depending on the specific item or system.
It should be noted that you can't depreciate any repair costs or service contracts, which can only be deducted as expenses from your net income. In addition, you can't depreciate the land that the home sits on as it's not considered a depreciable asset.
The depreciation process is certainly much more complex than this. You'll want to speak with your accountant or bookkeeper about exactly how much you owe the government in taxes when factoring in depreciation over the course of time that you owned the property.
Adjust the Basis to Calculate Your Capital Gains
The price that you originally paid for the property will serve as the "basis" that will be factored into the calculation of capital gains made. Any improvements made on the property will create what's referred to as an "adjusted basis," which includes the money spent on the purchase price as well as the money spent on making improvements. If your purchase price was $300,000, for instance, and you spent $50,000 on sprucing up the place, your basis will then be adjusted to $350,000.
This number would then be subtracted from the sale price to determine your capital gains. If you sold the property for $400,000, your gains would work out to $50,000. However, you can lower this amount after factoring in the costs associated with selling the property. The number you wind up with is what you'll have to pay taxes on.
Can You Avoid Paying Capital Gains Taxes?
Most people would agree that if there were ways to minimize the amount of taxes paid on profits made from selling real estate, they would take advantage of them. The good news is, there actually are legitimate ways to avoid paying capital gains taxes.
For starters, you can do what's known as a 1031 exchange which would allow you to defer paying capital gains taxes on your investment property when you sell it. In this case, you would have to use the proceeds of the sale of your current investment property to be put towards the purchase of another investment property, as long as it's of equal or lesser value.
Another way to avoid having to pay capital gains taxes is to convert the property into your primary residence, as long as it's a single-family home. You would also have to live in the home for at least two out of five years in order for it to be qualified as a primary residence, but you don't actually have to be living there at the time of the sale. If you're single, you're allowed to exclude the first $250,000 in capital gains from federal taxes, and if you're married, you can exclude $500,000 in gains.
The Bottom Line
Taxes paid on capital gains might not necessarily be something that you would think twice about when selling your family home. However, if you plan on buying and selling real estate for investment purposes, it's crucial that you understand how capital gains taxes work in order for you to be able to gauge how profitable every transaction that you make will be.

There are only so many personal skills we want to teach our children while they are young. Certainly one of the most important ones is to be clean and organized. Now, as we swear by a natural way of learning English, we want to use all the everyday activity opportunities to sneak in a bit of English and to make the dull routines more fun. Check out our ideas and turn room cleaning into fun and games!
We can understand if cleaning up isn't your kid's favorite activity. That's why you need to motivate them with a song. This "Clean Up Song" will have them cleaning up the room with a lot of enthusiasm and ease.
↔Learn the opposites
While putting the toys back in their place, learn about the opposites in English. Compare a big toy to a small one; an old one to a new one. Tell them to put the dirty clothes in the laundry room and the clean ones in the wardrobe. Download our printable material about opposites to help you out.
Learn prepositions
Give your child instructions about where to put the toys. Tell them to put the teddy bear on the bed or the clothes in the wardrobe. Important note: tell them they must not sweep the dust under the carpet?
Educational apps
On the Lingokids app there is an entire topic about the bedroom. You will find content for all of the things we have mentioned above. Before you start cleaning up the room spend 15 minutes on Lingokids. Listen to fun English songs, learn the prepositions and opposites through fun games and short lessons and apart from learning English you'll be ready to make the bedroom spotless in no time.

The reign of record hot months in 2016 continues, with last month claiming the title of hottest July on record globally, according to data released by NASA on Monday. This July was also the hottest month on record for the world.
The streak means that 2016 is still well on its way to upsetting last year as the hottest year on record. Or as Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies, said on Twitter, there is still a 99 percent chance 2016 will take the top slot.
Every month so far this year has been record hot. In NASA's data, that streak goes back to October 2015, which was the first month in its data set that was more than 1˚C hotter than average.
In NOAA's records, the streak of hottest months goes back to May 2015. If July is record warm in its data (which will be released Wednesday, July will be the 15th record-warm month in a row.
By NASA's reckoning, July 2016 was 1.27˚F (0.84˚C) hotter than the 1951-1980 average. It was 0.2˚F (0.11˚C) above July 2015, the next warmest July in records that go back to 1880. The record July heat also means this was the hottest month the planet has seen over the course of NASA's records. That's because July is also generally the hottest month of the year due the fact that it's summer in the northern hemisphere where there's more land.
July 2016 was absolutely the hottest month since the instrumental records began. pic.twitter.com/GQNsvARPDH
— Gavin Schmidt (@ClimateOfGavin) August 15, 2016
Schmidt said he expects July will be the last record hot month of this year as the residual heat from an exceptionally strong El Niño dies away. Though El Niño itself was declared over in June, global temperatures tend to lag by about two to three months.
While El Niño provided a boost to global temperatures this year, the bulk of the heat is what has been trapped by accumulating greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Nations have agreed to keep the rise of global temperatures below 2˚C (3.6˚F) by the end of this century, and are discussing aiming for an even more ambitious 1.5˚C (2.7˚F). But temperatures for the year-to-date have been hovering close to 1.5˚C above preindustrial times all year.

Strategic Directions
- We will improve access and advance student success by strengthening evidence-based
practices and resource allocation. To enhance student access we will expand proven practice and explore new initiatives
in vertical teaming, dual enrollment, college readiness, and course and program delivery
models. To advance student success, we will implement high impact practices that support
core student success skills and close achievement gaps. Institutional student learning
outcomes for our graduates will be clear, transparent and well-integrated throughout
the students' college experience. Ongoing, college-wide assessment will foster continuous
improvement and drive resource allocation.
- We will transform learning by integrating academic, workplace and global experiences
to meet personal, professional and community needs. Global perspectives, real-world experiences and professional skills will enrich our
academic programs and be authentically assessed. We will provide a relevant and transformative
academic experience through the expansion of opportunities for career planning, experiential
learning, cooperative education, internships, externships, undergraduate research,
service learning and international education. In response to industry and community
needs, we will design programs in emerging fields that include short-term and accelerated
training models and non-credit articulation.
- We will drive innovation, enrich community and broaden the learning experience for
all by fulfilling our shared responsibility for diversity through expanded activities that promote a broader understanding and appreciation
for diversity and recognize the importance of globalization. We will improve policies
and practices to recruit, support and retain a more diverse student body and workforce.
Together, students, faculty, and staff will create a working and learning environment
that values diversity in all its forms as the essential element inspiring improvement
and innovation. We will focus on research, pedagogies, and initiatives that assist
in identifying and closing achievement gaps for diverse student populations and effectively
support student success for all.
- We will empower all members of the college community to be educators, mentors, advocates,
entrepreneurs and lifelong learners through enhanced professional development, curriculum and co-curricular activities.
We will expand engagement opportunities for part-time faculty and support staff; increase
the use of mentoring, advocacy and peer support models; and continue to build a college
environment that encourages on-going reflection, wellness, improvement and entrepreneurship.
To enhance student responsibility, self-advocacy and leadership, we will increase
student representation on college-wide committees and create new roles for students
as peer mentors, advisors, tutors and leaders.
- We will foster greater college engagement through improved communication, personal
connections and collaborative partnerships by creating new opportunities for students, faculty and staff to interact, learn
and work together to build community, to enhance student learning outcomes and to
achieve strategic college priorities. We will strengthen college-wide communication
and information dissemination through the effective use of next-generation technology
tools, the establishment of innovation and interest groups and the inclusion of student
voice in all we do.
- We will build partnerships that stimulate innovation and address the educational, social, economic, and workforce development needs of our communities. We value our role as a convener for active partnerships aimed at creating innovative solutions to significant community challenges. By maximizing relationships with our workforce investment and advisory boards, employers, career centers, and alumni, we will be positioned to best meet emerging education and training needs. Internal college teams will reach out to community partners to highlight and creatively address local and regional issues. We will proactively demonstrate and market the value of our resources and programs, attaining a new level of community awareness, responsiveness and impact.

Want To Sell? Don't Get Cold Feet Now!
Rain or shine, cold weather or hot, the home sales just keep rolling on at the moment, with show days drawing flocks of prospective buyers and many properties attracting multiple offers.
"However," says Berry Everitt, MD of the Chas Everitt International property group, "there is one big spanner in the works, and that is not having enough stock to sell."
A quick survey among agents recently revealed that in the most popular areas there has been a decline of up to 60% recently in saleable inventory – with the properties that were available having either been sold or withdrawn from the market.
But, he says, those sellers who are backing out now in the belief that rising demand among buyers will enable them to get a much higher price six months or a year from now are making a big mistake.
Writing in the latest Property Signposts newsletter, Everitt says: "The truth is that while there is no shortage of buyers at the moment, and that well-priced properties are selling faster than at any time in the past five years, there are several factors in play now that mitigating against any really significant price increases in the coming months."
And all of these have to do with the fact that interest rates are widely expected to rise over the next few months – the Reserve Bank's most recent decision to keep them static notwithstanding.
For one thing, he says, rising interest rates mean declining affordability, because they raise the proportion of income that prospective home buyers have to put towards paying off their debts. "This means they can only qualify for smaller home loans and become extremely value conscious and willing to negotiate hard to pay lower prices."
Secondly, whenever interest rates start going up, the banks get more wary about granting credit, and more conservative in their valuations of the properties on which they are being asked to grant loans. "And once again, this translates into downward pressure on home prices, and a dwindling supply of buyers."
Consequently, says Everitt, the best advice for home sellers at the moment is to stay in the market, take professional advice on pricing their properties correctly and make the most of the current still-strong demand to achieve a swift sale – "bearing in mind that this will put them in a good position to secure a loan for their own next purchase".

More often than not, top executives, who bring immense value to an organization, bring with them some or the other derailing behavior. A derailing behaviour is a pattern that could be a show stopper. While the organization and colleagues immensely value the professional wisdom and business acumen of the person, a set of behaviors color the entire experience of working with the individual. This is where a coaching could be of great value.
Behavior coaching is usually confused with counseling or psychiatric intervention to bring about a change in behavior of the client to help them function normally. However, behavior coaching is not related to counseling or psychiatric intervention. It also does not promise to bring about changes that are unrealistic in nature. It works on a realistic paradigm which aims at bring about change in actions, reactions and responses of individuals, teams and organizations.
The behavior coaching is based on the principle that all of the human behavior is learned, our learned behaviors have become our existing patterns of behavior and each of these behaviors have positive and negative outcomes. Behavior coaching model believes that since most of our behaviors are learned, they can be changed in order to result in positive outcomes. Behavior coaching facilitates in exploring our behaviors, values, attitude, perceptions, beliefs, motives, emotions and actions that can help us make significant changes in our behaviors. It enables us to understand if our behaviors are emotional based or intellectual based.
The behavior coaching model is basically derived from various disciplines such as psychology, leadership and management, philosophy and organizational sociology. It is not a counseling courses that has been renamed as behavior coaching but is defined as " the science and art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of the individual or team, which in turn assists the growth of the organization"

Last month, FDA commissioner Scott Gottlieb and Peter Marks, director of the FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, coauthored a special report in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled "Balancing Safety and Innovation for Cell-Based Regenerative Medicine," in which they outline new regulations designed to expedite approval of stem-cell therapies to treat various diseases and disorders. Encouraging innovation is consistent with the direction that the FDA has taken under Gottlieb. These policies, however, especially concerning stem cells, represent an unfortunate entrenchment of the status quo.
Stem cells have numerous therapeutic uses, some of which have been controversial. One of the simpler treatments involves autologous stem cell transplants: a doctor extracts stem cells from a patient's body and uses them to treat a medical problem in the same patient. The procedure can be done in a day or over the course of several visits if the doctor chooses to multiply the patient's cells before reinjecting them—a process dubbed "cell culturing." One key objection to unregulated autologous stem cell transplants is that transplanted cells may multiply, migrate, or metastasize in unanticipated ways. You get treated for a bum knee, the argument goes, and two years later, you have a tumor in your lung. In other words, like prescription drugs, stem-cell transplants come with the potential for unforeseeable, harmful side-effects, and as such need to be studied, approved, and fitted with an FDA warning label before being used.
But as Manhattan Institute senior fellow Peter Huber has noted, there's no way to make one-size-fits-all determinations about the safety and efficacy of treatments engineered using a patient's own cells, which are ultimately "controlled entirely by the patient's own unique code." A standard hip-to-knee stem-cell transplant may work wonders for one patient but have a nasty side-effect for another. As with any procedure, autologous stem-cell treatment is a matter of informed choice.
The procedure was relatively uncontroversial until the FDA filed suit against Regenerative Sciences, a group of physicians in Colorado that had been treating orthopedic injuries with autologous stem-cell transplants. At issue was the cell culturing: according to the FDA, once a patient's cells had been multiplied by a doctor, they now constituted a drug, subject to FDA regulation, even though the altered cells were being returned to the patient from whom they were taken. After an extended legal battle, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled against Regenerative Sciences in 2012, effectively upholding the FDA's sweeping definition of what constitutes a drug.
Many objected to the decision, claiming that it allowed the FDA to meddle in the practice of medicine. In the Wall Street Journal, a onetime FDA official wrote that the FDA had "stretched that definition" of a drug "to the point where a reasonable limit no longer exists," and that the consequences could be "deadly." The official was Scott Gottlieb, later to rejoin the agency when President Trump appointed him to head it.
When the FDA began regulating autologous stem-cell transplants like a drug, it set a dangerous precedent for federal overreach in the practice of medicine. To put it in perspective, consider the fact that the FDA does not regulate organ transplants, which involve a second party (and a host of potential complications). By furthering this precedent in his capacity as FDA commissioner, Gottlieb has come close to embracing the "purely oppositional attitude" he once rightly criticized as an impediment to medical innovation.
Gottlieb remains a huge improvement on his predecessors, who dragged their feet on approving stem-cell treatments, but this is a crucial moment in the new era of FDA regulation. Time will tell whether we see more of Scott Gottlieb, forward-thinking and unapologetic innovator.

If Frankenstein's Army is anything, it's visually stunning. From the costume design to the limited use of color, the film just creates atmosphere. However, until the lumbering monsters come out to play, the film is just as lumbering. It's only 84 minutes, but by the end you'll feel as though you've been in your seat for at least 2 hours.
I'm sorry, but it just took too long to get to the point, which is the monsters and killing. I'm not sure if I could offer a solution, but maybe some scenes showing Viktor (Karel Roden) building the Frankenstein Army or his descent into madness. Maybe some cut scenes the Russian squad we're following at home, maybe some bonding between the men, maybe some back story. Anything, please, just give us some visual variety in the first half of this film.
As it is, however, we have the vantage point of Dimitri (Alexander Mercury), who's been tasked with creating a propaganda film for the Russians. So we see most of the film through his camera lens, which is pretty jumpy, draws too much attention to itself (because the camera and film need to be changed), and is boring. It's repetitive and hypnotizing, kind of like highway lines at night — careful or you may nod off.
Understandably, writer/director (also costume designer) Richard Raaphorst was aiming to build tension by revealing very little as the Russian squad made its way to a distress call from another Russian unit. Thankfully for the audience, when they arrive at the coordinates things start to get exciting and the squad realizes that this is one mission they don't want to be on so near to the end of WWII.
The reveal of the first monster more than makes up for the annoying use of the first-person gaming perspective. At this point of the film, imagine a WWI setting of House of the Dead, Doom (the movie), and Hellraiser (but with Frankenstein monster Nazis instead of Cenobites).
The magic of Frankenstein's Army happens here. Roden as Viktor is genius as he tries to bring an end to the war with an army of Nazi monsters and by fusing the minds of a communist and a fascist in the hopes of creating diplomacy. For whatever reason, that brain surgery scene reminded me of Hammer Films' Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed.
The Verdict: [rating:2.0]
It's a shame that Frankenstein's Army is so slow in the first half, because the film really had potential. However, all is not lost. If you're a steampunk fan, a movie effects fan, a creature design fan, or something similar, there's lots for you to love here.

In this article, I will show you how to add text hyperlink for PDF files. Sometimes, we need to add text hyperlink for PDF file. By this way, we can combine website and PDF file together. Now let us check how to make it.
- Free downloading one software VeryPDF PDF Stamp.
- Know more about this software on its official website.
Now allow to say one word or two about this software. PDF stamp was developed by VeryPDF company whose software have been widely used in industry production and academic area. PDF stamp, as its name implies, it mainly used for stamping content into a PDF document besides images, texts and graphics. It is able to add links and notes in the form of PDF stamp. Now let us continue to do the conversion.
- Unzip the download package to your PC and then call it from MS Dos Windows.
- Check its usage to know other functions.
- Input the command line according your needs following the example.
[<-AT> <string> [-Pn] [-MLRn] [-MTBn] [-Rn] [-L]
[-U <url>]/[-GO <page no.>]/[-OP <file>]/[-GR <file> <page no.>]
[-Cn] [-H] [-FNn/-FT <name>] [-FSn] [-ML/-MR/-MC] ]
When you use the –U parameters, you need to use it together with <-AT>. If you just use –U, it is useless.
- Take a random PDF file for example.
- This is the command line I used for adding text hyperlink for this PDF file.
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>"C:\Documents and Settings\admin\My Documents\Do
wnloads\pdfstamp_cmd_v2.5\example\pdfstamp.exe" -PDF "C:\Documents and Settings\
admin\Desktop\78.pdf" -o "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\1new.pdf" -AT
"Please check its more information on its website" -U https://www.verypdf.com
Meanwhile you can set the color, position for the text hyperlink. This is really a wonder share. It is a little complicated to learn how to use it but it is really more powerful than you can image. If you have any question about this software or file format conversion, you are welcome to contact us by the ways supported on this website.

Makers of Flying Embers Hard Kombucha pioneering new advances in the world of better-for-you alcoholic beverages in partnership with zümXR®
US based Fermented Sciences, Inc. (FSI) maker of Flying Embers Hard Kombucha has developed a proprietary process in partnership with zümXR®, utilizing a patented technology to create the world's first shelf stable probiotic hard kombucha. Flying Embers contains both live probiotics and native kombucha bacteria without the use of pasteurization.
Fermented Sciences Inc. (FSI) was founded in 2017 by Bill Moses, a well-known expert in the art and science of fermentation, co-founder and former CEO of KeVita, which he sold to PepsiCo. Flying Embers handcrafted hard kombucha is the first product line developed and launched by FSI.
The patented probiotic encapsulation technology, developed in an exclusive partnership with zümXR®, ensures that the probiotic strain of Bacillus coagulans SNZ 1969 and the kombucha bacteria can continue to thrive at room temperatures without dying off.
Flying Embers is made with a SCOBY, tea, and sugar. FSI's proprietary process cultivates a unique combination of native kombucha bacteria strains from the acetobacter family. These specific aerobic strains are able to survive in the finished product at room temperatures. This innovative method also employs a dry fermentation process, resulting in zero grams of sugar. Without sugar, the yeast from the SCOBY cannot cause spoilage by propagating at room temperatures.
The result is the world's first shelf stable hard kombucha with live probiotics and native kombucha bacteria, both of which can survive and maintain exceptional quality on warm display at retail without the need to be refrigerated – making it more healthy, portable and convenient for consumers.
"This makes Flying Embers the ideal hard kombucha to take on-the-go for outdoor activities such as hikes, camping, and beach days. This is for consumers that want a live, unpasteurized kombucha," says Fermented Sciences' Founder and CEO Bill Moses.
In addition to being the world's first unpasteurized shelf stable hard kombucha with live probiotics, Flying Embers is the only hard kombucha brand that meets the World Health Organization (WHO) standard of integrating live probiotics that provide verified health benefits.
"We are committed to delivering a shelf stable, delicious alcoholic beverage with true probiotic benefits," says Moses. "Ten years of rigorous research and development with our partners at zümXR® has enabled us to earn the trust of our loyal consumers and stand by our brand's better-for-you promise."
Additionally, other hard kombuchas in the market that claim to be "probiotic," may not meet the World Health Organization (WHO) qualification of having enough live probiotics that provide verified health benefits. The WHO states that without a specific, verifiable quantity of probiotic organisms supported by clinical data on the specific bacteria strain the product cannot legally qualify to be considered as a probiotic and any brand claiming to contain them is falsely advertising. FSI's Flying Embers is the only hard kombucha with live probiotics that meets the WHO standards.

Year A: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Gospel: Matthew 5: 13-16
The Sermon on the Mount continues - and Jesus offers two simple - but very powerful - images of the role of His disciples in the world - to be salt and light.
At first sight, salt does not seem very glamorous - but anyone who has had to go on a low-salt diet knows the difference it makes to a meal! The job of salt, though, is not really to be tasted itself - but to bring out the other flavours in the meal. In Jesus' time, it was also important in preserving food - a vital job in a hot country where food would quickly go off and become at least unpalatable - and at worst dangerous.
In a similar way with light - the job of light is not to draw attention to itself - it is there to allow people to see things that would otherwise be hidden in the darkness.
So it is with Jesus' disciples - that is us...
Like salt, we are not to overwhelm the world - but to bring out the goodness - or preserve the goodness that we find in it.
Like light, we should allow the Light of God to shine through us - not so that we dazzle people with our radiance - but so that they can see the light of truth.
We may be tempted to hide the light - especially when it might get us noticed - or where people would not understand. That is a risk of discipleship - but, Jesus says, that by allowing our light to shine, other people will see clearly and give praise to our Father in heaven.
Another point worth noting is that, in the Gospel, Jesus was not speaking to the great and the good - He was speaking to a crowd of people who had followed Him to the hillside. He was also speaking about what He saw as real in the here-and-now - not something that would come about when everyone was perfect.
Jesus looks at the people before Him - then and now - and says "You are the salt of the earth..." "You are light for the world..."
Our role as salt and light for the world is something we are called to do now - however imperfectly. The little flavour we bring - the small light we can offer - all make a difference to the world. Without us - life is tasteless and dull!
What does it mean for me?
