Nursing Schools in Vermont
If a scientific and caring career is something of interest to you, you should be happy to hear that registered nursing is the fastest growing career field currently. That trend is expected to continue over the next decade due to the rapid growth of our population and much of our population entering the later years of their life. The leads to a more frequent need for basic and advanced health care that registered nurses are required for. You can start your career in under two years by completing a diploma or certificate program and passing the NCLEX-RN licensing exam. Upon completion, you can start working in the field as a registered nurse, earning valuable experience, and still continue your education to any level you choose, be it BSN, MSN, DNP or PhD in Nursing. Many nurses even pursue specializations that allow them to work specifically where they wish.
Vermont has just over 6,000 registered nurses to support a population of over 600,000 individuals. This is why the need for registered nurses is so high. On average, RNs in Vermont earn $63,350 a year. You can increase where you fall in this average by combining education and experience. You already know how to start gaining experience while you continue your education, but finding the place to start learning your trade may take a bit more work.
Fletcher Allen Health Care in Burlington, Rutland regional Physician Group in Rutland, Southwestern Vermont Medical Center in Bennington and Central Vermont Medical Center in Berlin rank among the top 15 employer sin the state across all industries. You may find entry level positions that you can start before even earning your license as a registered nurse. Also look to these employers for tuition assistance as you move to higher levels of education.
Paying for College
While you may find some help from your employer to pay for college, there are other resources that you should research more and make the most use of.

Today for Centus, Jenny gave us a picture prompt. The flag picture seemed right for Fourth of July moods. So in 100 words writers were to respond with fiction or poetry. For more entries, visit Jenny at http://jennymatlock.blogspot.com/2013/06/saturday-centus-week-167.html
There are some nice entries and my own fiction is below.
Not Just a White Man's War
Kelcie was from a family who would not talk. All family stories stayed buried by agreement. So when Uncle Milo White Bear asked for help cleaning out his garage in order to move to assisted living, she was astonished he would let anyone help.When she pulled out a ragged flag from the hump-backed trunk, she asked, "What is the deal with the torn flag?"
"Anzio. Our flag was being battered," he said simply.
"And…," she urged.
"So I took out two machine gun nests. Showed 'em. Chief still a warrior!"
His bent fingers stroked the tattered flag.

Where Are the Leaders in Media Psychology and Media Studies?
The need for professional leadership in developing media psychology is clear.
Posted Mar 26, 2014
Luskin's Learning Psychology Series - No. 28
The American Psychological Association, Society for Media Psychology and Technology (Division 46) is a focal organization for those interested in media psychology and media studies. Participants include psychologists, practitioners in various fields, researchers, industry leaders and communications professionals, educators, and lay individuals working together to explore needs and opportunities in media psychology and technology. Members of the society study and report on the psychology of media effects on behavior. The society pursues new initiatives in media psychology and media studies.
1. Members are leaders. The Society for Media Psychology and Technology invites new members because it is a gathering place for those interested in psychology and technology.
2. Now is the time for new courses and programs. Providing support and advocacy in the initiation of new courses, certificates, masters and doctoral degree programs in Media Psychology and Technology and in Media Studies is what is needed now. The field of media psychology is growing in the same way that cognitive psychology grew during the 1960's. The field of Media studies is the specialty in research that examines and reports on topics of interest in psychology and technology.
Social media, telehealth and teletherapy, online and distance education, in and out of the classroom and virtual classroom, corporate communications, entertainment consulting, traditional media programming, providing on camera expertise, virtual and augmented reality therapies, telehealth and Telepsychology research, consumer products, brand development, marketing, advertising, product placement, game theory, and the military are within scope of media psychology. Media Psychology is central in Cinema, including film analysis, media assisted rehabilitation, telecommuting communications, effective public health, public service, public policy, and political campaigns. Media Psychology is applied in medical education and practice and in all forms of publishing. Because of the advancing field, there is need and opportunity to develop and offer new certificates, courses and degree programs in Media Psychology and Technology. Media psychology is growing and following the same pattern that cognitive psychology grew in the 1960s. Media Psychology and Media Studies offer new content areas of opportunity for colleges and universities.
Social media has become a societal force on the global stage
The explosion of MOOCs and the growth of distance and blended learning represent news areas of opportunity. Distance and online education is growing and seen as an area of expansion in the future. Corporate communications is all about media communications and is a growing revelation inside of companies. Publishing is changing dramatically. Health and medical related media education is moving forward apace. In entertainment, media centric fields include writers, producers, programmers, engineers, designers, directors, artists, cinematographers, public relations and advertising specialists, technologists and others who, more and more, study and apply media psychology to their work. Digital technology that facilitates wired and wireless communication now blankets the world and reaches into space. It is both an art and a science. Media psychology is at the crossroads of psychology and technology.
There is increasing opportunity in education at all levels
As new courses and programs emerge, educational institutions will increasingly need new faculty and staff who understand higher concepts in media arts and sciences. Faculty members are necessary who understand that media communication tools are both sensory and intellectual and who can provide leadership in education. Media psychology and media studies are important academic disciplines for the years ahead.
The future of media psychology and technology is bright as a sub-specialty in psychology
New courses, certificate and degree programs need to be offered by colleges and universities. My purpose with this article is to highlight the opportunity in media psychology and media studies and identify the need for leadership as a call to action.
Media Psychology is a field whose time is here
We have all of the pieces. Leadership is now required to put them all together.

Well it was rainy, but the Preakness was about as exciting a race as we've seen that had a 2/5 favorite. The sloppy track made for a real mess on the infield, but Justify ran through it, taking early pressure from Derby runner-up Good Magic and then holding off the late-charging Bravazo. And for the second straight race: winner-winner, chicken dinner in the bet books, although I did get hurt on my tri- and Superfecta boxes by Tenfold's late charge and Quip's fade. All-in-all, a fun day…and with the Belmont 19 days away, I truly question whether we will see a Triple Crown winner this year given Justify's race inexperience and the grueling grind of three races in 7 weeks. We'll see as the field shapes up, but right now I remain skeptical of his ability to go the full mile and a half at Belmont.
So, tonight is a pivotal game for the Caps as they face elimination for the first time, but how about those Vegas Golden Knights. It is so crazy that in their inaugural year they are headed to the Stanley Cup Finals.
Early in the week, we will be very busy with Congress in session pushing hard on Appropriations bills. Tomorrow is the busiest day with House Energy Committee moving several pieces of nuclear legislation at 10:00 a.m. featuring former NRC Commish and ClearPath advisor Jeff Merrifield, while Senate Energy Approps panel marks up the just-passed House Energy Budget at 2:30 p.m. Also, tomorrow at 10:00 a.m., the Senate Environment Committee will hold a business meeting to move several bills including the USE IT Act, which targets advancing CCS technologies. Then on Thursday, the full Approps Committee will likely move the FY 2019 energy budget bill out to the Senate calendar.
The biggest event off the Hill is Thursday's CSIS-EPIC nuclear summit that focuses on the future of nuclear. Other key events feature an EESI-American Biogas Assn forum on biogas/waste management Wednesday and an EESI, rural coops forum on rural communities investments in energy efficiency featuring our friend Curtis Wynne of the Roanoke (NC) Electric Co-op. Finally, if you are following NAFTA and Mexican trade issues (and you should be given what is currently going on) you will want to head over to the Press Club tomorrow where former Mexican President Vicente Fox will discuss globalism vs nationalism.
We also have heard that Thursday maybe the day that NOAA releases its 2018 hurricane forecast for the season that starts June 1st. Of course, we are covering that issue aggressively with our friends at MIT, who are focused on responding to more intense hurricanes through better building resilience and recovery. They have a full array of research on these topics and are happy to discuss how they affect communities and policymakers response – especially after last year's difficult hurricane season in the Southeast and Caribbean.
Lots of great events out of town this week Including NEI's annual conference in Atlanta, Clean Energy Ministerials in Denmark, Interior Sect. Zinke and Miss America Cara Mund headlining a North Dakota Oil conference, an Argus NatGas Markets conference in Houston, NOAA's Global monitoring conference in Boulder and ACEEE Finance Forum in NY.
Finally, Memorial Day weekend starts on Friday, which is the unofficial beginning of Summer. Expect those trips to the beach and traffic around Annapolis to get a little nuttier, while we finally bust out those linen pants and Tommy Bahama shirts. As well, this week's signifies the beginning of the summer concert season kicked off by this past weekend's Rock on the Range show in Columbus. The performances were pretty awesome including a killer Tool set, pieces of the new Godsmack album and a wonderful tribute by Alice in Chains to Chris Cornell who passed away 1 year ago on Friday. We are headed Godsmack and Incubus for sure while Stacey is once again headed to Firefly in Delaware in June. It should be a great summer of shows.
No update next Monday as I will be in California all week first at a field hockey tournament and then visiting colleges with Adam. Enjoy the weekend and please be careful on the roads or wherever you're headed.

"Currently, we have no reason to change our fundamental outlook for 2018, a 16.1 billion gallons of ethanol production, 14.4 billion gallons to 14.5 billion gallons of domestic lending and 1.6 billion gallons to 1.8 billion gallons of exports. We saw record exports totaling 512 million gallons in the first quarter, there were a number of new players buying U.S. ethanol including Colombia, Saudi Arabia and Switzerland. Brazil first quarter totaled nearly 240 million gallons."
Great Plains CEO Todd Becker on their Q1 2018 Earnings Call, highlighting significant production and exports resulting in more than 16 billion gallons of ethanol and having no reason to change the fundamental outlook despite different claims by USDA Secretary Perdue and ethanol lobbyists about demand
MIT Experts Weigh in on Hurricane, Building Resiliency – The episode of PRG's podcast The Lobby Shop this week features my interview with MIT resiliency expert Jeremy Gregory discussing the 2018 hurricane season and what vulnerable communities and their resident/policymakers can do to withstand and rebuild in more resilient ways. Good stuff with the start of the hurricane season slated for June 1. Check it out ln Stitcher, Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, and Google Play Music.
America Adapts Podcast Archive with Dave Roberts – I found a new podcast last week called America Adapts with Doug Parsons and I really liked it. It was very well done and featured segments with Climate skeptic gadfly Marc Morano, Vox's David Roberts, Rolling Stone/climate book author Jeff Goodell and many more great people and topics. Check out Roberts talking about politics, his career as an enviro writer and climate adaptation.
Murray: Watch out for International Shipping Fuel Regs – Our friend William Murray has a great op-ed on obscure marine regulations may spike U.S. fuel prices just in time for 2020 election cycle. Murray argues rules set by the UN-affiliated International Maritime Organization (IMO) that will limit sulfur content in its heavy fuel oil by 2020 could limit supply in much the same way road diesel was limited in 2008. Yet shippers have not upgraded nearly enough ships with the sulfur scrubbers needed (only 250 out of the 60,000 global merchant fleet of ships were upgraded by the end of last year). So, Murray writes, unless the IMO pushes back on its implementation plans to allow more ships and refiners to upgrade, prices for refined products like gasoline, diesel and home heating oil could start to spike by the winter of 2019 to 2020; just in time for the next presidential election cycle.
President Moves Efficiency Executive Order – President Trump late Thursday issued a new efficiency Executive Order that replaced one signed by former President Obama that sought to reduce federal agencies' energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. The change instructs agencies to set their own goals for efficiency and "prioritize actions that reduce waste, cut costs, enhance the resilience of Federal infrastructure and operations, and enable more effective accomplishment of its mission." The Business Council for Sustainable Energy's President Lisa Jacobson said the new Executive Order focused on Efficient Government Operations is important to continue to achieve annual building energy and water reductions at federal facilities. She added that the Council strongly supports the Executive Order's recognition of performance contracting, through Energy Savings Performance Contracts and Utility Energy Savings Contracts, in achieving the goals.
House Approps Move Energy Funding – The House Appropriations Committee approved a sweeping set of resources and program direction to the Department of Energy that would spur advanced nuclear, carbon capture, energy storage and other clean energy technologies. The Senate takes up the bill tomorrow.
- Builds upon direction in the FY18 spending deal for DOE to map out a "moonshot" goal for demonstrating advanced nuclear technologies with the private sector by the mid to late 2020s
- Directs the energy secretary to launch a department-wide energy storage effort with aggressive performance targets, utilizing the strengths of the agency's electricity, renewable and science offices to drive down costs and improve performance of grid-scale technologies
- Prioritizes R&D of new advanced reactor designs by providing $100 million for advanced small modular nuclear reactor R&D, which helps innovative pending designs — such as NuScale Power's — get up and running on schedule; and $155 million for advanced reactor technologies that could help more advanced technologies being worked on by Terrapower, X-energy and others
- Includes $65 million for a versatile test reactor design, building off the initial resources provided in the recently-enacted FY18 omnibus for a national lab facility critical to the development of advanced nuclear by private developers
- Provides up to $20 million for testing of high assay low-enriched uranium (HA-LEU), which will be needed to fuel many advanced nuclear concepts
- Supports scale-up of carbon capture efforts, including new solicitations for advanced fossil fuel system engineering, and specifically projects that generate emissions suitable for utilization or storage
- Advances and fully funds the ongoing five-year R&D effort led by DOE's Energy Innovation Hubs
DOE Rolls out Thermal Solar Opportunity – DOE announced $72 million for new projects to advance high-temperature concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies last week. These projects will extend previous research on high-temperature components, develop them into integrated assemblies, and test these components and systems through a wide range of operational conditions. CSP technologies use mirrors to reflect and concentrate sunlight onto a focused point where it is collected and converted into heat. This thermal energy can be stored and used to produce electricity whenever it is needed. The best commercially available technologies can only reach 565 °C. The high-temperature thermal systems targeted by this program seek to achieve at least 700 °C, which would boost the efficiency and lower the cost of the electricity. If successful, these projects will lower the cost of a CSP system by approximately $0.02 per kilowatt-hour, which is 40 percent of the way to the office's 2030 cost goals of $0.05 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for baseload CSP plants.
New ClearPath Video Highlights Nuclear – Speaking of Nuclear, a new whiteboard video from the Clearpath Foundation's Rich Powell explains that the virtues of the current nuclear fleet – namely its carbon-free power and 24/7 reliability – must be coupled with ever-changing demands of our global energy industry. That includes new technologies that make it smaller and highly scalable for use in cities and remote areas and allow for high-temperature use to decarbonize heavy industrial processes.
WY CCS Testing Up/Running – Wyoming's Integrated Test Center located at Basin Electric Power Cooperative's Dry Fork Station near Gillette was dedicated last week. The carbon capture research facility is a testing space off the back of the operating coal power plant. Five Carbon XPrize finalists — U.S., Canada, India, China and Scotland — will head to the site to put their concepts to capture CO2 from the power plant and convert it to a marketable product to the test. The project launched in 2015 with the Wyoming State Legislature's approval of $15 million for the design, construction, and operation of the Wyoming ITC. Private partners, including our friends at Tri-State Generation, contributed $5 million. The center is just the second in the country that allows for real-time testing of technology at an active power plant. Senate Environment chairman John Barrasso sent a letter of congratulation to Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead upon the ITC's dedication, calling the facility "the future of energy technology."
National Audubon Joins Carbon Capture Coalition – And speaking of CCS, C2ES said the National Audubon Society will join the Carbon Capture Coalition. Jeff Bobeck, co-director of the Carbon Capture Coalition and director of energy policy engagement at C2ES said Audubon is among the oldest, most recognized, and widely respected voices for conservation, and its unique perspective will be a valuable addition to the coalition. Audubon's commitment to solving climate change is rooted in a devotion to ensuring continued biodiversity, and its support illustrates a growing awareness that carbon capture is an essential and necessary tool to meet mid-century climate targets.
ACEEE Finance Forum Underway – The American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy holds its 2018 Energy Efficiency Finance Forum on Tarrytown, NY today and tomorrow.

The discussion will feature remarks by Todd Stern, former U.S. Special Envoy for Climate Change at the U.S. Department of State, and former EPA official Ben Grumbles will address the topic. This event will be a time to look at what has happened on climate action since the announcement — both where has there been progress and what more needs to be done at the local, national and international levels.
Atlantic Council Cyber Security Exercise to Look at Vulnerabilities – The increasing complexities of the globalized supply-chain system has introduced myriad new threat vectors for intentional and unintentional compromise of integral components, 'unintended taint', the flaws in software unintentionally built into products, is of particular concern. It is of vital importance that we recognize and understand this very significant and credible threat to the uninterrupted functionality of critical infrastructure within the energy sector. Consequently, the Atlantic Council's Cyber Statecraft Initiative will hold an exercise next Wednesday May 30th at 4:00 p.m. to model a downstream petroleum refinery that will be manipulated in real-time, demonstrating how vulnerabilities in the supply-chain can be affected, followed by a discussion engaging key experts and stakeholders for a progressive and solutions-oriented discussion on how to appropriately identify and mitigate these underappreciated threats to the energy sector.
WVU Research to Look at Coal Drainage for Rare Earths – On Thursday, May 31st at 10:00 a.m., the US Energy Association holds a forum on coal mine drainage as a domestic source of rare earth elements. Rare Earth elements are essential for advanced technologies from smartphones and robots to national defense systems. The rare earth metals have remarkable chemical properties but are so evenly dispersed throughout the earth's crust that economically attractive concentrations are extremely rare. As a result, the U.S. imports nearly all its rare earth elements from China. Fortunately, researchers at West Virginia University, led by Water Research Institute director Paul Ziemkiewicz, have found that acid mine drainage from Appalachian coal mines naturally concentrates rare earth elements and the metal residues contain readily recovered concentrations that match many of the world's best deposits. Current research, supported by USDOE's National Energy Technology Laboratory and industry, is developing extraction technology to set the groundwork for a domestic rare earth industry.
WCEE Hosts Solar Jobs Forum – The Women's Council on Energy and the Environment will hold a lunch and learn on Thursday May 31st looking at solar jobs. The Solar Foundation's National Solar Jobs Census 2017 found that there were over 250,000 Americans employed in the solar industry, a 3.8% decline from the previous year. Despite the decrease, long term trends have been strong. Experts Zoe Ripecky (The Solar Foundation), Kerene Tayloe (Green For All), Emma Rodvien (Solar United Neighbors), and Madison Freeman (Young Professionals in Foreign Policy) will join together for a discussion of solar jobs and their impact on communities around the U.S. This will include an overview of the findings of the Solar Jobs Census, as well as a discussion of best practices for expanding diversity in the industry, economic impacts of solar deployment, and how current policies will impact solar jobs.

DISRESPECTED: Dr. The Hon. Louise Bennett-Coverley
CYBER VANDALS hacked into the official website of Jamaica's former first lady of culture, Dr. The Hon. Louise Bennett-Coverley, on the fifth anniversary of her death.
The hackers, unveiled as HTeam.us, defaced the homepage of the website yesterday morning (July 26), five years after she died, aged 86, in Toronto, Canada.
As well as plastering their logo over the site, they left a message declaring, ""Welcome to HTEAM.US - we will not go down"
HACKED: What cyber vandals have done to Miss Lou's website
Staff at Yush.com, an online magazine discovered the security breech yesterday.
"It is very disappointing to see a cultural icon of Miss Lou's national hero stature being disrespected by this regrettable act," said Mr. Michael Conally, publisher of Yush.
"I hope the webmasters and relevant authorities restore the site to its former glory and prevent such lapse in security from happening again," he added.
Ms Bennett-Coverley, known affectionately as Miss Lou, was Jamaica's leading poet, activist and one of the Caribbean island's most respected cultural icons.
Her contribution to Jamaican cultural life earned her the MBE, the Norman Manley Award for Excellence (in the field of Arts) and the Order of Jamaica in 1974. In 1983, the UWI awarded her the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters.
It is not known whether those hosting the website or the Jamaican authorities will restore the site to its former glory.

This is a trip of a lifetime. An expedition of wonder, that will be etched in your memory and in your stories for years to come. Spitsbergen is a true arctic wilderness 600 miles from the North Pole. A land of ice, snow, mountains and Polar Bears. We'll use snowmobiles to access the interior and cover distances unthinkable by the explorers of old. We will take you across frozen fjords, through steep sided gorges, glaciers, and vast mountain ranges. If we're lucky, we'll see the mighty Polar Bear, stalking a seal out on the sea ice or wandering between it's hunting grounds.
Accommodation will be a mixture of adventure lodges and Polar luxury. If we're lucky, we'll see the mighty Polar Bear, stalking a seal out on the sea ice or wandering between its hunting grounds. Suitable for all ages with a basic level of fitness and a sense of adventure. Come and join us on this truly unique and wild adventure. The leaders are all relaxed friendly people and experienced in cold weather adventure. They can teach you the skills necessary to move comfortably and easily in this epic terrain.
Day 1:
Fly to Oslo, where an interconnecting flight will take you north way up into the Arctic Circle and onto Spitsbergen. You will be met at the airport in Spitsbergen by one of the expedition leaders and taken to the hotel.
The hotel gives the feeling of a Spits bergen trappers' hut furnished with local driftwood. It's atmospheric, well equipped and very comfortable.
Day 2:
After breakfast it's a good opportunity to have a wander around the town and soak up the frontier-like atmosphere. You'll be kitted out with snowsuits and snow boots and then you'll be shown how to use the snowmobiles. In the afternoon we'll do some practice driving and head out to a glacier to see into some crevasse. The evening will be back at the hotel in Longyearbyen for a final briefing.
Day 3:
We will ride around the icy coastline to the still used fascinating Russian mining town of Barentsburg. The population is down to a few hundred that make their living primarily through coal mining. We'll take a look around at some of the vast buildings now little used and enjoy the delights of a Russian hospitality.
Day 4:
We'll ride up over high mountain passes, past the vast glaciated valley of Pluto and around a huge semi frozen fjord where the ice forms a loose shifting crust and the vastness of the landscape is breathtaking.
We'll head out to a frozen-in converted schooner. We'll stay on the boat for the night as close to nature as we can get. Early explorers froze boats into the drift ice to try to reach the North Pole, we won't be drifting but it's a magical experience to feel what it must have been like.
Day 5:
We'll ride over to the east coast through some remarkable scenery to the sea ice where Polar Bears are frequently spotted hunting for seals. They're wild animals and wander where they wish but we hope to be lucky and experience the magic of see one. Then it's on to another Russian mining town for an overnight stay and some Vodka-based hospitality.
Day 6:
After breakfast we'll cross two huge frozen fjords, Billefjorden and Templefjorden. We'll stop to wonder at the immense size of the glacial face of the Von Postbreen Glacier and look in at the trappers' station at Fredheim where the famous hunter Hilmar NØis lived. Then along the frozen expanse of Adventdalen and back to Longyearbyen.
Day 7:
Today will be harnessing up a team of dogs and, after learning the basics, we'll be off on this magical trip where all you can hear is the swish of the sled through the snow. The dogs love to work and know exactly what they're doing. It's a unique and wonderful experience to be pulled by a team of willing huskies through such a pristine wilderness.
Day 8:
Transport to the airport and flights back to see friends and loved ones with stories and wonderment that will last for many years.

I had a great time on the Spitsbergen trip. The weather conditions were not favourable, but we made the best of the situation. David is a really good guy and a really good guide & I would use him as a guide again. Thanks for putting the trip together

GERMANTOWN (WPVI) --Choking back tears, Laprea Brown spoke for the first time Wednesday night on the very block where her 6-year-old son's body was riddled with nearly a dozen bullets in Philadelphia's Germantown section.
Little Mahaj Brown had just left his grandmother's house last Thursday when he was caught in the crossfire.
"I'm just so blessed and so happy God spared my baby. He's slowly progressing, he's talking now, he's now off his breathing treatment," said Laprea Brown, victim's mother.
Mahaj, called Haji by his family, has had seven surgeries and will likely have more. His mother says he knows what happened to him, but doesn't understand why.
"He told the officer that took him to the emergency room, 'Why did they shoot me?' And that's kind of hard so I try to put it in a kid's frame so I tell him, 'you're a superhero so God wanted to see your powers,' " said Laprea Brown.
In the last week there have been more than three dozen shootings citywide - seven of them fatal.
The gunman or gunmen in Mahaj's shooting are still on the loose.
Deborah Chappell lives on the same block where the shooting occurred.
"It's not the point of snitching, it's just the point of letting the family know who did it," said Chappell.
"I just pray somebody have a heart, have a soul, and somebody come forward," said Laprea Brown.
Haji's mother says because of where he was shot in his abdomen, he can't eat solid good and is on a feeding tube right now.
It will likely be another three to four weeks before he is released from the hospital.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact police.

Louisanna Gibson's Memoir continued...Part 1 Part 2 Part 3
"When we returned to Blackwater we found the house pretty well free from workmen. The enlargement had been well done, and it was now very comfortable. The next thing was to make the garden. The kitchen garden was a very bad one in a bad situation. I took in a piece of the field and built a wall round two sides, threw up a bank on the third side, and put a paling on the fourth, where there was already a belt of trees.
"The old kitchen garden which was full of apple trees was converted into an orchard. A holly hedge which separated the lawn from the field was transplanted to the kitchen garden, and a sunk fence made in its pace, letting in a very pretty view to the garden.
"The improvement was immense, but for some years the work of transformation went on… In the end the house has become a very comfortable country house."
Rosa Gibson and Oliver Walford were married in 1878
The wedding party for the marriage of Rosa Gibson
and Oliver Walford, Hurstleigh, 10th September 1878.
Marriage of Rosa
1878: "The next event of importance was the marriage of my daughter Rosa to Oliver Walford, a great friend of my son Edgar's. He had been curate at Haslemere for a couple of years, and this had caused us to see him not infrequently.
"On the 11th September 1878 they were married… The wedding was a very pretty and cheerful one, the breakfast being in a tent in the field. The day was beautiful and we were able to be out a great deal, having tea in the garden, and we ended the day with a little dance. This was the last wedding of my daughters."
Arthur Gibson married Mary Hesketh in 1884
Arthur and Mary's children, c 1891;

and Percy, b 1886.
Walter Gibson married Julia Olivier in 1884
Walter and Julia's children, c 1895
Marriages of Arthur and Walter
1884. "In 1884 two of my sons were marred, Arthur the eldest to Mary Hesketh, whose acquaintance he had made in Swinton, where she was living with her aunt, Mrs Lempriere; and Walter, my fourth son, to Julia Olivier, whom we had known from her childhood."
In 1886, "the attack which made me an invalid came on, and I thought that I too was to be taken but I have been mercifully spared, through God's blessing on the kind and skilful nursing of my remaining unmarried daughter, and now in the year 1895 I am far stronger than I was in 1887.
"In Jan. 1893 my dear child Ada [Etheridge] had a sharp attack of Pneumonia and sank peacefully to rest after five days.
"And now I am coming to the end of my reminiscences.
Louisanna Gibson, c 1870
"My eldest child Ella [Heywood] became a widow in 1895. She still lives in Moorfield. Her eldest son Arthur and her two daughters living with her. Her second surviving son Chris has married and has set up as a doctor in the neighbourhood of Swinton and is doing well. The next son, Geoff, is assistant master at a preparatory school at Twyford, and the youngest son Bernard is ordained and married and is curate at Bury.
"My daughter Ada's three [Etheridge] sons are all out in the world. The eldest Leonard is Curate to his uncle Will Durst at Southampton, the second Godfrey is Classical Master in a boys High School at Wynberg in the Cape Colony, and the youngest Harold is Curate at Slough.
"None of my daughter Edith's [Durst] children are yet settled. Two boys [Herbert and Alan] are at Marlborough, one daughter [Elizabeth] is studying drawing in London. The others are at home.
"My eldest son Arthur bought a small house in Binfield about 8 or 9 miles from us last year, and it is a great comfort to have him near us. His eldest boy [Hugh] is at school, the youngest [Percy] and his little girl [Monica] at home.
"Herbert now a Post Captain has the command of Thunderer, a three years' appointment.
"My third son Edgar has the important post of Vicar of Leeds. His eldest son [William] is at Oxford, the three others [Kenneth, Ralf and Theodore] at School.
Alan Gibson, b 1856, c 1885, and
Florence, 1853-1911, c 1873.
"Walter has a preparatory school at Headington near Oxford. My youngest son Alan is Coadjutor Bishop of Capetown.
"My youngest daughter Florence doing good work at home. Besides taking care of me, she has the oversight of a little cottage Home. Which she attends daily, and which in consequence of her skilful management is a great use to the little invalids who come there in succession.
"And here I end my recollections".
Louisanna Sumner, born in 1817; who married rev William Gibson in 1837, and had eleven children, died in 1899.

Students are placed in grade levels based upon the submission and evaluation of official transcripts, as well as their score on the American International School entrance examination. Students are also required to take a formal examination to demonstrate competence in basic courses before being allowed to take Advanced Placement (AP) courses. American International School reserves the right to determine the method of placement.
A nonrefundable registration fee of AED 700 per student is required before taking the entrance exam. The registration fee is a separate charge in addition to tuition. It will not be applied toward the tuition for the semester in which the student is enrolled. To ensure applicant spot, cash and three postdated cheques must be given on the same day.
A charge up to 10% may be applied to the schools tuition fee as a re-registration deposit to confirm the return of existing students in a new academic year. This deposit should be deducted from the total tuition fees for the academic year in which the admission is being sought. To ensure applicant spot cash and three postdated cheques must be given on the same day.
During the second semester, the re-enrollment deposit fee for the year is due by April 15. If an enrolled child withdraws, the enrollment depot is non-refundable and is not transferable to another child in the family.
For New Registration
For Re-Registration
The school furnishes textbooks and instructional materials that remain school property. Parents may be required to reimburse the school for lost or damaged books, before new books are issued. Students are asked to furnish some of their own supplies as deemed necessary by the teacher. Eg dictionaries, files, folders etc. Please ensure that these things are purchased on time. Fees for books are non- refundable
Scholarships are provided according to the marks earned by a student. Scholarships will only be awarded to students who have an outstanding attendance record, and who have been present for all the regular tests and examinations. Scholarships will be granted on the condition that the student maintains the required standard of excellence in every test/examination.
In the cases of both existing and new students, deposits and fees will not be refunded it students choose not to return to school for the next academic year or choose not to take the offered places. However, the school may choose to refund the deposit under special circumstances. These circumstances include, but are not limited to evidence of family travel to another country, a move to another Emirate, or any unforeseen circumstances, such cases may be submitted to KHDA for study.
The value of the fee per month is calculated by dividing the total tuition fees by ten. Charges for books and school supplies will not be refunded but the above conditions for refund apply to transportation fees if the service is provided by the school.

VMware Networks, Bridged vs. Nat vs. Host
I have a customer out in Ohio who has had a horrible year. His software vendor convinced him to buy a $6,000 server to run their new Windows version of their software; he had all kinds of Windows configuration and hardware problems; his users hated the new software; he finally gave up and went back to the ancient, unsupported SCO Unix version.
What to do with the $6,000.00 server? I suggested putting Linux and VMware on it - heck, it's a big, powerful box, it seems a shame to have it go to waste (and we both thought that running Windows 2003 Server was definitely a "waste").
So he did. And immediately ran into all kinds of networking problems. Unfortunately, most of times when he called me about it, I was on the road or otherwise tied up and couldn't help him much. Add to that is that I am no VMware expert, so he was getting nowhere. He basically had everything working, but the VMware Windows instance couldn't talk to the Linux host that ran the VMware. It could talk to everything else, but not its own host. He tried fixing it, but made things worse and when he called me Saturday afternoon, Windows wasn't talking to much of anything.
My poor wife.. we have our daughter and son-in-law coming Monday morning to stay for the week; we are pretty much ready but there are still a few things she needs me to do, and now I'm tied up on the phone. She knows customers have to come first but sheesh - I'd already been out in the morning to help a neighbor and now this? She sighed..
I sshed to the box while keeping my customer on the phone. As I said, I'm no VMware expert, but I saw a few things that bothered me. First of all, he had 4 NIC's in the machine. Given the size of his business and the network traffic, I saw no reason for that and I had already realized that he was confused as to which card was which. We decided to cut it back to two cards: one for the inside, private IP, one for its public interface. That would make it much easier to figure out where cables needed to go.
The second thing I realized as I looked things over was that eth0 was configured to 192.168.1.4 and that eth1 was 192.168.1.3. As he was going to disable eth1, I would need to add an alias for .3, so I added "ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.3" to rc.local. However, there was something more that I had not caught on to in our phone conversations: the Windows machine was configured to be 1.4 also.
By default, VMware works in "bridged" mode - you use the 192.168.1.4 card by attaching a virtual network device to it, but you put a free address on the Windows virtual card - say 1.5 or 1.6. That's why Windows couldn't talk to 1.4 or 1.3, it had to go through eth0 to do that. So Windows at 1.4 is trying to pass packets through the host that is also using 1.4. Frankly, I'm surprised it could talk to any other IP on the 192.168.1 network. Of course for those, it didn't have to pass through the host's 1.4 NIC, but still I expected that the IP conflict would have confused things.
I know that's confusing. Look at it this way:
The Windows virtual machine uses a virtual network adaptor configured by VMware to use the real physical hardware "eth0". The Linux host had 192.168.1.4 assigned to eth0. He had configured the virtual card in Windows to use 1.4 also. Obviously 1.4 on either machine (real or virtual) can't talk to 1.4 on the other. Less obvious is that the Windows 1.4 can't talk to the Linux 1.3 either because its only path to that is through the Linux eth0 card (even before I made 1.3 an alias).
Bridged mode lets the virtual machine share the host's Ethernet connection, while appearing as a separate machine with its own MAC and TCP/IP address.
NAT mode nats through the hosts NIC, much like the 192.168.1.x machines nat through your router to the internet (yes, yes, I know what the deep networking geeks are about to complain about: nat vs. masquerading). The VMware server assigns DHCP addresses to the virtual network cards, and the NAT system takes it from there through the real NIC (though that in turn is obviously natting or masquerading itself).
Finally, Host mode only allows the virtual machine to talk to the hosting machine and other virtual machines configured the same way, but nothing else.
After making the changes and resetting Windows to be .5, everything worked as it should. If he wants to add back the other NICS, he can, but at least he's starting from a known working configuration.

So probably we can say that with virtualization you've got to be even more accurate with configuration.. Leaving things standing "as-is" often doesn't work, because there's much more going inside than seems obvious to the surface. It really is an article that's going to take couple of passes to get into it :)

Thank you so much. I wanted to run pfSense on Ubuntu (because pfSense didn't have the drivers for a Linksys USB NIC, so I needed bridging). Not thinking that one device could share different IPs, I set my LAN ip to 192.168.1.1 and the vmnet bridge to 192.168.1.1 also. I thought that's how it was supposed to be.
The problem was solved by changing the IP like you did. Since the NIC in question was the DHCP via pfSense, I just set the Ubuntu to DHCP. It was hooked into the WAN port of a Belkin wifi router set to Access point. Luckily, the router had no problem looping the DHCP request back to the same line. The pfSense DHCP now runs all the LAN IPs, So I didn't have to worry about manual settings, since it will never conflict.
Thanks for your article, I was really getting frustrated after about 6 hours of playing with settings. I would just suggest to others that the let DHCP do all the work inside and outside of VMware bridged connections. Manual settings for devices can be reserved, and by ensuring inside and outside the VMware share the same DHCP, all conflicts can be automatically be avoided. Another consideration might be using different subnets on different NICs if they serve different purposes. No use wasting IP space on a larger network.

Dealing with Sin (Part 2) Forgiveness and Restoration
posted on , under First Steps
There's nothing as miserable for the sinning Christian as being estranged from God, and nothing so sweet as being restored back to Him. Ray Sparklingeyes reminds us what King David said after he had been forgiven for adultery and murder (Psalm 32:1). It's a good reminder for us. Rather than living apart from God and His blessing, let's deal with our sin quickly. The sooner we confess and forsake our sin, the sooner we will discover our joy and peace again.

More disturbing images of Tiger Woods emerged Tuesday in the black-and-white details of police reports, depicting him sound asleep behind the wheel of a car parked awkwardly on the side of a six-lane Florida road with two flat tires, the engine still running and a blinker flashing.
When a police officer woke him, Woods was so disoriented that he initially said he had just returned from playing golf in Los Angeles. Then, he said he didn't know where he was or how far away he was from his home in Jupiter Island.
He kept falling back asleep.
Eventually, he failed a sobriety test so badly that at one point officers moved toward him to ensure he didn't fall over.
There was no evidence of alcohol, however, confirming what Woods said Monday night when he issued a statement saying he had had an "unexpected reaction" to prescription medicine. Jupiter police said he took a breath test that showed no alcohol in his system. He later agreed to a urine test.
Still to come is potential video evidence from dashcam footage showing his arrest on suspicion of DUI in the morning darkness of Memorial Day.
An affidavit and an incident report from the four officers at the scene were released a day after Woods spent nearly four hours in the Palm Beach County jail. His mug shot from the jail -- showing lifeless eyes and scraggly facial hair -- provided a stark illustration of how much Woods' mystique has been shattered since a decade of domination that golf had never seen.
It left players on the PGA Tour hopeful for better times, and not just on the golf course.
"I feel bad for Tiger," Jack Nicklaus said. "Tiger is a friend. He's been great for the game of golf, and I think he needs all our help. And we wish him well. ... I hope he gets out of it and I hope he plays golf again. He needs a lot of support from a lot of people, and I'll be one of them."
Woods remains a favorite among players young and old. When he was an assistant captain at the Ryder Cup last September, the American team presented him a red shirt that said, "Make Tiger Great Again."
"I'm concerned about him," said Steve Stricker, the Presidents Cup captain who chose Woods as one of his assistants. He said he exchanged texts with Woods on Monday and that Woods told him no alcohol was involved.
"Whether this is just a misunderstanding ... or if he had some medication problems, a mixture of some -- I really don't know," Stricker said. "And I'm always the guy to give the benefit of the doubt, and we're just going to have to wait and see. But I'm pulling for him. I'm hoping that he gets things turned around and back out there playing well again."
Woods has not competed in four months, and he had fusion surgery on his lower back last month -- his fourth back surgery in three years -- that will keep him off the PGA Tour for at least the rest of the season.
He told police he had taken several prescriptions.
The affidavit listed four medications, including Vicodin, that Woods reported taking.
Vicodin is an opioid pain medication. The other three drugs appear to be misspelled. One is similar in spelling to Solax (a muscle relaxer) or Solox (for acid reflux). Another is similar in spelling to Etorix, a painkiller not currently approved in the United States.
Painkillers are generally prescribed after such surgeries, and many carry warnings to avoid driving while taking them. Other medicines, including over-the-counter allergy medicine or anti-anxiety medicines, can also cause drowsiness and include warnings about driving.
The FDA warning for Vicodin says it "may impair the mental and/or physical abilities required for the performance of potentially hazardous tasks such as driving a car or operating machinery; patients should be cautioned accordingly."
According to the incident report, police spotted Woods' black Mercedes on Military Trail at 2:03 a.m. Monday, parked on the side of the road and partially blocking the right lane.

I've been idly thinking about translation lately, so I was happy to run across Scott Cairns' poem "Adventures in New Testament Greek: Nous" this morning. If you've spent time in the neighborhoods of the liberal arts that I used to haunt — or even if you haven't — you'll probably find it as delightful as I did. (via Alan Jacobs.)

United Airlines plans to cut 71 jobs at Charlotte Douglas International Airport, as the company seeks to cut costs and boost its profitability through outsourcing.
The job cuts, which affect United's airport operations positions such as ticket agents, will take effect Oct. 1.
"This was a difficult decision, but we need to ensure that our costs are competitive," said United spokesman Luke Punzenberger. United has previously said it will outsource much of the work being done by laid-off employees in Charlotte to save money.
United is working to catch up with rivals American Airlines and Delta Air Lines in the wake of its 2010 merger with Continental Airlines. Last month, United reported a $919 million profit, one of its best quarters since struggling with losses and problems combining the two companies.

Charlotte Douglas isn't the only airport where United is trimming costs and workers. United is laying off 430 workers in Cleveland as it dismantles its hub there. And nationwide, the airline is contracting out more than 600 airport operations jobs, such as those in Charlotte, at a dozen airports to lower-cost, nonunion employees.

Here are the names all neatly written on pieces of paper and put into the hat. And here is the name that Kate pulled out of the hat: So, Amy Lane, if you email me your address, I will send a prize package your way! And thank you all for taking the time to think about what you have learned about yourself from blogging. I think the most interesting thing is that we all learn that we are not alone and there is always someone who understands and empathizes no matter how stupid/dumb/awkward we think we are!
First off, I want to announce the winner of the Blogiversary Contest. Here is the appropriate knitted container to put all of the names into: (i.e., the sock monkey hat I made for Kate).
I met with the surgeon today. He came into the room and looking over my paperwork, commented that I had had an appendectomy in 1972. "Good year 1972. That's when I was born". I wanted to poke him with the knitting needles. I said, "Yea, well I was in 8th grade then". The good news is that I got an appointment for April 28th to have the gall bladder taken out. I have to get an EKG (because I am over 50) and another ultrasound next week and then some blood drawn. I made appointments for all of this and hopefully the surgery will be laprascopic and I will heal easily. It's a little nerve wracking to sign a piece of paper that essentially says "I give you permission to cut me to pieces if necessary in the course of this surgery". I can't wait for this to be done. The pain is almost constant and even if it's not excrutiating, it is not fun to always feel pain. If they had told me I had to wait, I would have cried right there in the office.
The biopsy results were negative for cancer. It's just cystic tissue and is best left alone. Phew. That was a huge relief. I appreciated all the support I felt while it was being performed. Maybe you all could come with me for the gall bladder operation, too?
In the meantime, I started the Annetrelac Sock. I thought the color block yarn that Roxanne dyed would knit up differently. The entrelac is easy enough once the concept got through my thick skull. The colors don't look like what I envisioned but I still like it. In fact, I like it better than some of the striping yarns. I don't think it was made for entrelac but I am enjoying it so much that I will keep going. I like the texture of the knit.
Oh, and I almost forgot. This is the weekend that Franklin is coming! Kate and Em and I are going to Wool Gathering in Kennet Square, PA to be photographed for the 1,000 knitters project. We are very excited!!! I will try to contain my excitement enough to take some photos.
And Saraspunda is on her way from New Zealand. She should be here in time for me to play with her while I recuperate from the surgery. It's all about the timing, folks.

Indigenous sheep resources of Ethiopia: Types, production systems and farmers preferences

Ethiopia has a diverse sheep population, numbering 23.6 million, in parallel with its diverse ecology, production systems and communities. A comprehensive phenotypic and genetic characterization of Ethiopian sheep populations was initiated in 2005 to provide a nationwide framework for the management of sheep genetic resources. In this paper, we describe the indigenous sheep types in terms of physical characteristics, eco-regional distribution and community affinity. We also present relationships of sheep types with agricultural production systems, and farmers'/pastoralists' assessment of their sheep types. Fourteen traditionally recognized sheep types were identified and physically described.The sheep types could be categorized into four groups (sub-alpine short-fat-tailed, highland long-fat-tailed, lowland fat-rumped and lowland thin-tailed) based on their ecological distribution, tail types (fat-tail versus thin-tail), tail form/shape, and fiber type. There is high morphological and ecological diversity among the major sheep groups as well as among the sheep types. There is also a strong relationship between sheep types, ethnic groups and production systems. Assessment of the genetic distinctiveness of the traditional sheep types is important for developing rational conservation-based improvement programs. Molecular genetic assessment of the population structure is a follow up activity.

So, I had a GREAT Mother's Day weekend! All of my kids were here! They brought flowers, Starbucks, chocolate, and more! Did I raise them right or what? ;)
AND the sun was actually shining here in my little piece of the Pacific Northwest!
The down side: I looked over to see that the briars are thriving on rain/sun combo and will soon be taking over my property if I don't "manage" them - LOL managing briars/blackberry bushes........right.
The up side: Those same obnoxious briars are home to so many cute little baby bunnies in the spring AND provide TONS of huge, sweet blackberries in the summer! Even our puppy dogs will stop to eat blackberries on our walks!
So this is my fruit listing for the day on etsy and ebay - this fabric! You see, now it's raining but I am hanging on to the sunshine in my mind! You can see it here:
AND check my Etsy Finds Page - I am finding a bunch of berries & fruit related stuff so I can make a big Etsy Fruit Salad for you to look at! Don't forget to go to my sidebar and click on the Friday Fabric Freebie Page - leave a comment on there to win. That's it! EVERY friday as long as there is interest.

Tiny Home Interiors Maximum Traffic Flow should be suited with the dimension at home. You ought to never opt for busy style to decorate the tight house because you'll be a lot of stressful with the smaller look. You'll deceive the mind by choosing the proper interior style for your small home. You will never get trapped inside the tiny space. There are many characters that increase the dimension in the front room or bedroom. You'll be able to enhance the height of your ceiling if you want to form the lounge bigger. The high ceiling painted in white can build the house look bigger and wider than its actual design.
The next factor to determine in the tiny home interiors is the colors painted on the wall. You'll paint the higher 0.5 of the wall with light color, while the lower 0.5 is painted with a darker color. You can select the monochromatic color to feature edgy feeling. For instance, you can paint the upper half with white, while the lower one is painted in grey. To fancy the comfortable and warm feeling, you'll paint the top half with beige; the lower 0.5 is great with dark brown.
The color combos will present a pleasant visual height. The space can seem wider. You'll make the wall additional appealing by putting a pleasant painting. Position the painting or photos in vertical setting to stress the visual illusion in the peak. The placement of furniture pieces are necessary to determine. You'll be able to select the straightforward, modular, and straightforward furniture items. We have a tendency to know that a heavy and hulking couch is terribly beautiful to embellish the living room. However, you wish to avoid this furniture as a result of it can bring tight feeling at home. You'll opt for a sleek metal sofa crammed with some soft and absolutely cushions to decorate the little home interiors.

To my readers: I just discovered yesterday that new & old post links from my food blog are being directed to adult content websites when seen on mobile devices. The same thing will happen if you're to search my blog's name using mobile devices, you're going to be redirected to those same websites. But if you access the links from home computer, they're working fine and will link back to my food blog.
I'm currently working to solve this problem soon but don't know the definitive answer yet. I apologize to anyone who's encountered the problem, I've no idea how long has it been doing it. I'm mad & disappointed that this could happen to my blog.Thank you for being supportive during this misshapen--Eliza
Well, there it is. It's not the end of the world but I feel helpless now because this type of technical difficulties is beyond me and I've to wait for someone to fix it for me. I don't like waiting but I need to be patient. I'm just hoping it can be resolved and won't happen again.
While this thing is brewing in the background, I did some baking last Sunday. I baked gingersnaps cookies for a friend and hand pies for my family. The house smelled so good when the gingersnaps were cooling on the racks. I didn't have a chance to snap pictures of it so I won't share the recipe. Perhaps the next time I'm making it again, I will write it down here. As for the hand pies, I used some cranberry-orange relish that was a leftover when I made it for Indulge magazine. The relish was quite thick, sweet enough, and I thought was a perfect filling for hand pies. As for the crust, I used store-bought; which I thought wasn't too bad. As for the shape, well, Christmas is coming soon and what perfect shape than Christmas tree and snowflake. I got about 8 hand pies by using double pie crust. Not bad, eh? So here they are...until next time!

According to Forbes, Jenner is on the cusp of becoming the youngest self-made billionaire in the world, a title Mark Zuckerberg earned at 23 years old.
The 20-year-old's net worth has skyrocketed thanks to the success of Kylie Cosmetics. Forbes conservatively values the company at $800 million, with an estimated $330 million in sales last year. Jenner is both the face of the company and the sole owner.
Forbes' Natalie Robehmed detailed how Kylie Cosmetics has found success by harnessing Jenner's immense social-media following and slashing costs by outsourcing labor. There are only five full-time employees, with Jenner's mother, Kris Jenner, handling finances and public relations in exchange for a 10% management cut, the report says.(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4023069&forum_id=2#36407704)

Fairfield University sponsors discussion on lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy
Fairfield First Selectman Michael Tetreau, an emergency management specialist and the local leader of a volunteer clean up will be the panelists for "Hurricane Sandy: Lessons Learned," a panel discussion to be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, October 3, at Fairfield University Bookstore, 1499 Post Road, Fairfield. This free community discussion is sponsored by Fairfield University's Master of Public Administration Program.
The First Selectman will be joined by Bob Kenney, the regional coordinator for Connecticut's Division of Emergency Management and Homeland Security, and Katie Boland, a Fairfield native who teaches in the social studies department at Trumbull High School. After Hurricane Sandy hit in 2012, Boland and two of her childhood friends looked for ways to help their hometown. They organized the Hurricane Sandy Beach Clean Up on November 11, drawing about 1,000 volunteers who came to lend a helping hand.
Mark LeClair, Ph.D, director of the Master of Public Administration Program and Lynch Chair of Economics, will moderate the discussion.
"Natural catastrophes of this magnitude always present considerable challenges, regardless of preparation, to those in government and the nonprofit sector who must step in to address the devastation," said Dr. LeClair. "So many things were done right in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. It is always possible, however, to identify areas where resources could have been redirected or mobilized faster to improve the response to those affected. This event is intended to create a conversation both about the successful response of the town, state and nonprofits to the devastation caused by Sandy, and to find some common ground regarding the best response to the next storm of this scale."
