About this book
The Travels with My Family
David Homel • Marie-Louise Gay
Travels with My Family
Family vacations are supposed to be something to look forward to. Unless, that is, your parents have a habit of turning every outing into a risky proposition — by accident, of course. So instead of dream vacations to Disney World and motels with swimming pools, these parents are always looking for that out-of-the-way destination where other tourists don't go. Their adventures involve eating grasshoppers in Mexico, forgetting the tide schedule while collecting sand dollars off the coast of Georgia, and mistaking alligators for logs in the middle of Okefenokee Swamp.
On the Road Again
In the sequel to Travels With My Family, the family is on the road again — this time to spend a year in a tiny village in southern France.
They experiences the spring migration of sheep up to the mountain pastures, the annual running of the bulls (in which Charlie's father is trapped in a phone booth by a raging bull), and other adventures large and small. Most of all, though, Charlie and his little brother, Max, grow fond of their new neighbors — the man who steals ducks from the local river, the neighbor's dog who sleeps right in the middle of the street and their new friends Rachid and Ahmed, who teach them how to play soccer in the village square.
Summer in the City
Charlie can't wait for school to be over. But he's wondering what particular vacation ordeal his parents have lined up for the family this summer. Canoeing with alligators in Okefenokee? Getting caught in the middle of a revolutionary shootout in Mexico? Or perhaps another trip abroad?
Turns out, this summer the family is staying put, in their hometown — Montreal, Canada. A "staycation," his parents call it. Charlie is doubtful at first but, ever resourceful, decides that there may be adventures and profit to be had in his own neighborhood.
The Traveling Circus
Charlie and his family are about to embark on another trip, to another out-of-the-way place off the beaten path. This time they are heading to an island in Croatia, a country Charlie has never even heard of. An incredibly beautiful country that lives in the shadow of war and conflict.
Even for a seasoned traveler like Charlie, Croatia is a very different experience. To travel in a country where the language is completely unfamiliar and half the words have no vowels. To visit remote villages where the Internet is so slow, you might as well not have it at all. Where goats are a traffic-calming device, red cliffs loom like fortresses over an impossibly blue sea, and luggage porters are a line of women pushing wheelbarrows.

about my teacher-blogger list
this list is compiled mainly for personal reasons. i am planning to write a post on education in the future, and i thought blogs by teachers would prove to be a very important voice about education from the ground. i decided to publish the list because i thought it would be interesting for my friends, some of whom are teachers or teachers-to-be, to read what some of their peers are saying and feeling about education. I also thought it would be a good idea to compile a list and leave it on a blogosphere, since others might find it useful as well.
the short descriptions i wrote are mainly for me to identify which blog is which. because i do not frequent these blogs, i not familiar with them mah. but nevertheless, it appears that my description of the blogs (or blog authors) were disagreed upon by two the teacher-bloggers, so i've included addendums to those blogs who they like don't think my decriptions very accurate lah. if any of you think like my descriptions is inaccurate and think i should change it, please leave me a note. i'll do something about it. but my main purpose of the list was not like to "review" these blogs lah. i don't have anything bad to say about these blogs. just compiling a list for my own research purposes only mah.
sorry if like i offended or irritated some people.

Hey Fearfully Opinionated,
As I mentioned on my blog, I'm not upset or offended by the description so no worries there. It was good of you to compile the list though. Now I can peek into the lives of other teachers, which can be quite comforting. :)
- singaporeteach said...
Yes, don't worry. I am not offended or irritated. I have replied to you in my blog. You will have many visitors to your blog. Just stay true and enjoy blogging.

piper and singaporeteach,
Thanks for being so nice about it. Actually, I did not REALLY think that either one of you were offended, but this being the blogsophere, I would rather play it safe and be apologetic. Thanks for dropping by.

hello fearfully opinonated,
as i have blogged about it, i was just surprised that my blog is worth reading to be linked by a stranger, when it is mostly nonsensical stuff. no worries, i do not have issues with others linking me, nor was i offended about your description. it's quite spot on actually.

Stop Staring
Intended as a comically close — and bad — relationship. She IS staring. Even with his back to her he can tell and be annoyed by it.
My wife has this power, although our relationship is much better than the one pictured. I'll be lying there in the dark with my eyes open staring at the clock or window or something, and out of nowhere she'll say, 'What's the matter? Can't sleep?' It's freaky.
On the other hand, maybe she just says that randomly most nights and I only occasionally answer when I'm actually conscious.
Is she supernatural or nuts? Hard to say, I guess.
I see it as Mitch does but It's also possibly this particular cartoonists solid color style.
As for the Joke. I both think Minor Annoyance has it at 1. but … I don't get why it's supposed to be funny.
It's ambiguous. It is his style to do washes for shading. But this seems a bit extreme:
I took it as night shading.
Stan, it might be your breathing pattern.
I think it's shading. I didn't even notice lines until I read these comments.
1. Mitch4 has it; light and shadows through venetian blinds.
2. They both like sleeping on their right sides. She has no choice but to stare at him until she drops off. But he's annoyed at that.
@Arthur: "They both like sleeping on their right sides."
Are there really people who always sleep on the same side / in the same position all night, every night? I suppose there must be, but until I read this line, I think that had literally never occured to me. Sounds . . . boring.
Yes. And doesn't "boring" help bring sleep?
I start out my left side, facing towards the center of the bed. Usually I wake up about 1-2 hours before "get up" time and go to the bathroom. When I get back, I switch to the right side so I'm facing the edge, and therefore my night table with alarm clock etc. On the rare occasions that I have a restless night, I might switch back and forth a few more times.
Although I argued that venetian blinds ambient light not through, I do think it was intended as shading. All the doctors I've ever talked about back pain and sleep problems seem to act as though sleeping on one side through the night is common and very easy to do, you might as well tell me to walk on my hands for twenty feet with a key in between my toes to unlock a door on the ceiling for my ability to do that.
Shrug: I've slept on the same side my whole life. I only recently started trying to sleep on my other side, and find it difficult – it just feels weird.

Detail to show the glimmer on the snowman:
I started with a plain manila tag and used the Remnant Rub Resist technique to create the background, using the Distress Stains listed below. To add more texture, I stitched around the edges of the tag with my sewing machine. I stamped the snowman onto watercolor paper with Archival Jet Black ink, cut it with the die, then colored it using the Dimensional Coloring technique and the Distress Inks listed. I mounted it to the tag with fun foam, then added some Glossy Accents to the eyes, mouth, and hat band. I used some red gems for the berries on his hat, and added some glitter pen to the entire snowman to get that shimmery look of the show. The full photo captures the colors well, but washes out the glimmer on the snowman because of the shine of the silver remnant rub - the detail photo kind of shows the sparkle of the snowman, but it's really much prettier in person. I die-cut the word "Noel" from cork paper, then layered it over some re-purposed corrugated paper that was died with Distress Stain - then added some silver star brads to the sides of the word. I also died some Linen Ribbon with the Distress Stains, used a bit of blue/purple fibers from my stash, and tied them to the top of the tag. I finished off with a Muse Token and a mini gear.

India's wealth lies in data more than money, say experts:
With more than 200 million individuals in India set to get snared to advanced cells, notwithstanding 300 million now, and a large number of individuals in rustic parts India taking to budgetary administrations, India is relied upon to see transformational changes, as indicated by specialists at the recently closed Global Entrepreneurs Summit.
They trust India is at the brim of an unrest of access to money related administrations through various modes and this thus will quicken electronic trade. Talking on 'Byte into a Better Future: Fintech Disrupters,' Diana Louise Patricia Layfield, Vice-President, Google, stated, "With a populace of 1.2 billion individuals, India will turn into an information rich country before it changes itself into fiscally rich. It is fascinating that 10 for each penny of the populace approaches more finances since they can share their information." Talking on 'Installment Platforms: What's the Next Game Changer,' Sachin Bansal, Executive Chairman and fellow benefactor, Flipkart, stated, "Computerized installment exchanges will get greater and everyone and anyone can turn into a business visionary even from a remote area and offer his merchandise and enterprises. While shoppers will locate this simple, those offering administrations will look to seek after trust of customers."
"The imposing business model circumstance in various divisions will clear path for oligopoly where little players contend. It is as of now being experienced. Also, advanced customers will grasp this change and apparatus for new open doors," he said. Alluding to Aadhaar, Bansal stated, "It will open doors for money related innovation organizations to assume a part in the nation's budgetary incorporation drive."
The cost of exchanges will likewise descend as volumes go up. Advanced strengthening will clear path for energy in electronic trade and this transformation will support new players with their inventive methodologies, the specialists said. Lisa Mather, Vice-President, Paypal, stated, "Money related incorporation will be troublesome. In a portion of the advancements, India will lead the world with new methodologies. Around the year 2000, there was a blast and burst of miniaturized scale back establishments. Presently we are observer to a rush of problematic fintech models."

Te Araroa: from Puketi to Paihia
Once we left Puketi Forest behind, we had about 20 kilometer left to Kerikeri. Not a lot, however, it would be our first rainy day of the Te Araroa. At least, that was forecasted. And it was indeed raining when we left the campsite in Puketi. While we 'enjoyed' walking a long gravel road, the rain stopped and it became reasonably nice weather. While the humidity levels were rising, the scenery changed and we left the gravel road behind and continued through paddocks full of sheep.
Once we negotiated the first paddocks, another long stretch of gravel lay ahead of us. And after that, more paddocks. First, we followed a farm track along a paddock with bulls. After a while, we also had to enter a field with bulls. Suddenly Jasper wasn't so happy any more with his bright red rain cover on this backpack (who mentioned bulls are color blind?). However, we succeeded to cross the field without being attacked once.
As we were getting closer to Kerikeri, we started to follow the Kerikeri River. First the Kerikeri River was just a small stream, but a few kilometers further downstream, the stream had turned into a massive river. As a highlight we got a pretty good view at the 27 meter high Rainbow Falls.
Once we arrived in Kerikeri, we headed straight for the Kerikeri Holiday Park. A little expensive, but the location is just ideal: close to all shops (at least in comparison to the other campgrounds in Kerikeri). We did some shopping in the afternoon, followed by a great diner in town. You kind a learn to appreciate real/normal food when you are out on a hike like this, so we really enjoyed our burger with fries.
We took another rest day on Friday. On this rest day, it rained the entire day, which made us spend most of the day inside: first catching up with the blog, later we went into town for lunch. We can definitely recommend to have breakfast or lunch at Zest. Damn delicious.
Although the forecast for Saturday wasn't looking good, we decided we would continue anyway. But once we left the campground, it appeared the forecast was wrong (again). It didn't rain and it was nice and warm, although very humid. We even got a little sunburn. Today's track followed the Kerikeri River to the Stone Store (the oldest existing building in New Zealand), followed by some tarmac towards some more forests. However, this time, the forests were not adventurous at all. We just followed a 15 kilometer long forestry road through the forest. The only 'change' in scenery was caused by the old-timer rally that used the same exit road as we did.
Just before Paihia, we had lunch at the local golf course, before making our way into Paihia. We asked a number of backpacking accommodation for a place for the night, but all were fully booked. We finally found a bed at the Pickeld Parrot. Which was a truly amazing place with a great host and discount for TA-hikers. After having a shower with a normal tower, we went to the local kayak rental company to discuss the plan for tomorrow. But more about that in a later post…

Name Art
An art project that some grade 3 classes have done, and others will do is now up on the walls. The project, we've simply called "Name Art" has been finished. Parents often worry that art is just colouring, but throughout this project we've discussed a number of concepts in the curriculum (composition related to emphasis, straight/curved lines, warm/cool colours) and created some truly beautiful work!

Vol. 2
Summer 1997
Raising the observation platform into position was a major task for the crew; besides weighing 1,350 tons, the platform's center of gravity is not at its core. Two or three options were considered, but in the end it was decided that the platform would be constructed on the rooftop garden of the seventh floor, where it was balanced horizontally on and supported by three beams, and then raised by hydraulic jacks. On the day the platform was raised'a beautiful day with almost no wind'around 1,300 people, including Hisashi Hieda, president of Fuji Television, and Kenzo Tange of Kenzo Tange Associates, the firm that designed the building, were in attendance.
Divided into two phases, at a rate of five meters per hour, the raising
of the platform took a total of nine and a half hours.
Making the Most of Acoustic Design
A great deal of time and energy went into creating the broadcasting studios, which were designed for state-of-the-art functions. One of the challenges we faced along the way was that of acoustics. In this new multimedia and multichannel era, high-definition television is becoming the norm, and with the change from analog broadcasting to digital, the need to transmit large quantities of information is more important than ever. In addition, viewers have become more quality-conscious as well as more astute in recognizing quality sound. For this reason, such facilities as tilted cycloramas, the walls used by studios for backdrops, were introduced to deliver the best sound available.
The studios were designed to shut out the noise of trains, cars, escalators, and even radio waves from passing ships. Glass wool insulation was used for the studio floor as well as the walls and ceiling to absorb obtrusive sounds.
The majority of television studios have taken to using two-sided cycloramas, which help to make the background appear infinitely wide and high. In this new era of wide-screen and high-definition television, Fuji Television decided to go one step further, introducing three-sided cycloramas; however, this caused sound to bounce back and forth between the walls. To deal with this problem, we decided to tilt the walls of the cyclorama inward, although there was a chance the picture could distort and dust gather on the walls. This was the first attempt to tilt the walls of a cyclorama, and numerous sound tests with the walls positioned at varying angles were performed using a scale model one-twentieth the studio's actual size.
With a floor space of 1,000 square meters, the class V4 studios at the new headquarters are Japan's largest. Moreover, studios and sound rooms are being adjoined and there are plans for 150 more rooms. People place great emphasis on sound quality, and there are many areas of sound improvement that have yet to be explored.
Transmitting Information to the World
The Fuji Television Building has become one of the bases for transmitting information to the world. The building will be lit 24 hours a day--a shining beacon that is sure to become an area landmark.

Germany implemented 21 pilots in schools across the country and actively involved 891 students and 41 teachers. Teachers applied the pilots in their schools, adjusting the suggested good practices to fit their classroom needs. Another 93 teachers were involved during the five coaching sessions of the pilots, while dissemination included a broad range of schools and partners' networks.
The German pilots included many strong links between schools and research institutes, such as the University of Kiel and the University of Regensburg, as well as big companies like Mercedes-Benz. Next to thinking through questions of sustainability on a very interdisciplinary and practical level, the students got valuable insights on science career possibilities by meeting real researchers. In addition, many projects involved debating and collecting students' ideas and presenting them to others, thus developing a sense of active citizenship in the students. Some projects had a European perspective, including an exchange with a Greek school and joined project work on the topic of sustainability. At many schools, teachers from different subjects collaborated for the projects on a cross-curricular level.
A number of schools will continue with the projects they developed as pilots, and will also keep and develop the connections they built with out-of-school partners. The pilots in Germany were organised by Jungvornweg, who will continue presenting MARCH's outcomes and key findings of the pilot stage to teachers, educational stakeholders and media representatives.
You can find out more about the individual German pilots implemented in each school and the coach sessions here (pdf). For the full report on the Pilots, including pilots in other countries, pictures, evaluation and conclusions from the pilots, you can download it here (pdf).

You may have noticed the industry standard of shooting product images against white. Here are some pointers for you to consider as you set out to make your own photos for your e-commerce marketing platform.
Now, you may wonder why to use white as a background when you can introduce rainbow
colours or the combinations of your logo? Colourful is fun, peppy and uplifting, right?
But placing your product on a white template gives you the advantage of your brand
having a more consistent look. This is indeed professional and captures trust of the
buyer. Secondly, the action presents the product with the least distractions. Online
shopping is common, hence people want to view an accurate picture of the item being
delivered to them. Lastly, photos of white background are media friendly - means they
can be featured on a wider range of sites, magazines, or popular blogs. There are
magazine/blog editors seeking cool goods to feature, ideally on white so they can be
included without doing tons of editing.
Check these out for having the basic equipments for an effective shoot.
Lightbox - this is made with a white see-through material to allow for light to shine through, but softens direct light for minimal shadows. This can be made using a cardboard box and white fabric.
Clamp lights - these can be found in home stores. About three can be used for the shoot. Each should ideally have a 100 watt daylight light bulb.
Camera - that allows you to configure settings, and an optional
A Place for you to set up and clamp on the lights and you are all set!
So the idea is to manage a bright, white background that creates a high energy, happy, and distraction free scene. That brings us to the concept of 'high key photography' - technique of using unnaturally bright lighting to blow out most or all harsh shadows in an image. Such methods were originally developed as a solution to screens that couldn't properly display high contrast ratios. Eventually it has developed into more of a stylistic choice….ideal for showcasing your branded products that are elegant. Positive or upbeat tone is usually expressed by high key images. This method is perfect for a subject that is funny, lighthearted or beautiful.
To create remarkable high key images, the following tips may be useful -
No matter how your background turns out to be, remember there is also the cool option of post-production edits on those great snaps

The descendant is a granddaughter of William Norsworthy, and if my theory is correct, her father would be my grandfather's half-brother. Her DNA matched 306 centiMorgans (cM) and 22 segments with my mother. According to Blaine Bettinger's shared cM relationship chart (see below), this DNA match fits in the 1st to 2nd cousin range. This is the range that I expected, and proves that I really have found my biological great- grandfather, and that mirror trees really do work.
This is great news, and has made all of the hard work of the mirror tree worth it! My family had always thought that we would never find out who my grandfather's parents were, but I have solved half of the mystery. I could not have done it without the use of DNA. I am so grateful for all of the technological and scientific advancements genetic science has made over the last 20 years, and that genetic genealogy has become affordable. Identifying my great grandfather has filled in a whole branch on my family tree (see image below), which would have been impossible without DNA.

Academic Performance
At LEMO we believe in timing, rhythm and instinct; and we are certain that strategically partnering with community leaders is the next step in our plan for education reform. The education achievement gap continues to grow at a more rapid pace than ever: only 40% of high school students in East Palo Alto are graduating from high school. We believe we are the solution for closing this gap. At LEMO, we recognize that every Playmaker is unique and different. However, our institutionalized approach remains consistent for each Playmaker. The LEMO academic process includes:
- Goal Setting
- One-on-one tutoring
- Assessment of learning differences or special needs
- Quiet and safe environment to study; which includes up-to-date computers and software
- Monthly meetings to discuss grades, testing, class behavior, etc.
- Correspondence with their guidance counselors and teachers
- SAT Prep courses
- College applications
- College visits
Academics are essential in every Playmaker's future. We need your help to continue to close the gap. Join the movement and be a catalyst for change!

La maman et la putain
Post by:
August 03, 2017, 12:31:33 PM
La Maman et la Putain
La maman et la putain (The mother and the whore) was released in 1973. It went to Cannes that year. It received le Grand Prix du Jury even though Ingrid Bergman, the president at the time, hated the movie.
People at Cannes used to say "La maman et la P." instead of the full title.
The movie is in black and white, filmed in 16mm, it lasts more than three hours. Directed by Jean Eustache, it is a very personal movie. What happens to Jean-Pierre Léaud happened to him.
It is deeply intimate. People can't stop talking in this movie. They talk and they talk and they talk. Do they mean what they're talking about? Are they playing a role? Anyway, they talk. It is mesmerizing.
It shows how lost people were after May 68. How people try to live or how they try to stop living.
Jean Pierre Léaud, Bernadette Lafont and Françoise Lebrun are heartbreaking. Some of the best performances I have ever seen.
Jean Eustache killed himself in 1981.
His son who possesses the rights of his father's movies is some kind of troll who doesn't want to make a DVD or a Blu-Ray because he's scared of not getting all the money he thinks he deserves. You can find a VHS rip. There is a 720p version on YouTube, but the english subtitles aren't on sync. I haven't checked all the torrents but I've seen some with english subtitles. I guess they are on sync. There is a version on YouTube subtitles in spanish. The quality isn't great.

I totally misread this as La Madman et La Putin and thought it was a documentary about Trump's Russia connections.

yes! it's a great one for sure. the dialogue is so good it feels like it's one and a half hour shorter.
regular lovers is also a great film in the same vein as this.

Yep, the rythme of the movie is fascinating. I saw that a monologue lasted seven minutes and, even if I knew it was long, I didn't think it was that long. It also lets people listening to music without speaking without being boring. It's really special.

Past & Present come together.
Dear Photograph is a great photo blog that brings together (photographs of the) past and (thoughts from the) present.
Dear Photograph,
These were your first big steps of many that will be made in your lifetime.
Love, Mommy

Main St. Moustaches
I've been trolling around the Main St. area again handing out 3JVancouver schedules. There's this one new-ish coffee shop where all flyers are left in the bathroom. It's also where I took this photo.
The Sartorialist
If you haven't seen The Sartorialist yet, I don't know what you're waiting for!
Scott Schuman, the artist behind the blog, takes the most sublime photos. He captures beauty + style with an ethereal, spacious quality. I especially love the vintage photo contest posts.
Indian Banana
There's an amazing, international South Indian restaurant chain named Saravana Bhavan which I discovered during my first visit to Chennai. By some sort of angelic coconut chutney miracle, when I arrived home after my trip, a Saravana Bhavan had opened in Vancouver! My farm friends and I have since renamed it the "Indian Banana".

Ganesha emerges.
After much anticipation, I'm finally posting the pictures of Jai's beautiful Ganesha. He's three and a half weeks into the process and is knee-deep in detail work these days. Enjoy the show!
Oh, India!
My first week in Southern India has been full of sunshine, dal and drawing. Jai spends most of his time chip-chip-chipping away at learning stone sculpture. Sometimes I sit with him to watch the progress and to watch all the people who come by, both Indian and foreign, fascinated by the friendly American stone carver working alongside the locals.

We are pleased to announce the availability of a BURST mining pool for public use. BURST is very easy and cost effective to mine, using just your empty hard drive space!
Interested with the prospect of earning with very little effort? Let us show you how to get started:
- First of all, you need to download the BURST wallet/plotting/mining software from the BURST github repo. You don't have to use the built in wallet, there are plenty of other online wallets but we will be using the software you just downloaded for preparing the drives. There is also an online wallet as part of the client, so if you want to get started with mining quickly, we recommend you use the online wallet.
2. Whether online or offline the wallet interfaces look very similar, somewhat like this:
Hit 'New? Create Your Account' and you'll be given a 12 word passphrase. DO NOT FORGET THIS! Write it down, get it tattooed on yourself, learn it by heart.. anything! If you lose this passphrase you will not be able to access your wallet from anywhere. Re-enter the passphrase in the next part of the creation process and then move on to part 3.
3. You should now be shown a page that looks like this:
This is your wallet, and is where you will come to check your balance or make transactions. Your BURST address is on the left pane. Before you can start earning BURST however, there are a few pieces of housekeeping we need to do. First of all – as a network requirement – you need a couple of BURST to make some configuration changes. Luckily we thought about this, and provided you with a BURST faucet! It should give you a small amount of BURST, which will suffice for our needs. These burst will take a few minutes to come through, so go and make a cup of coffee.
5. First of all, you need to set a name for your wallet. Click on 'no name set' and choose a suitable name. It will cost you 1 Burst, but now your wallet is ready!
6. Now it's time to prepare our hard drives. BURST Mining uses a process called plotting to prepare the hard drives for mining. The plots will use up the hard drive space, so be careful as to how much space you can safely allocate whilst keeping your system running. Almost any hard drive or storage medium will work. The more storage, the better! First of all, click 'Write Plots' in the bottom menu on the client. Then choose which drive you wish to plot and press 'Plot this Drive'.
You will be presented with a menu that looks like this:
Use the slider to choose how much storage you want to use, and how many CPU cores you want to use during the plotting process. Please note that plotting is CPU intensive, and takes a while, so if you intend to still use your computer whilst plotting the hard drives leave 1 or 2 cores open to you. Then make sure you select Run as Admin (as it will make plotting faster) and then 'Start Plotting'.
A window similar to this should appear, which will show the status of the plotting:
Repeat this process as many times as you need to, depending on how many hard drives you wish to plot.
7. Once you have plotted your drives, head back to your wallet and next to the 'Write Plots' button you should find 'Start Mining'
Enter our pool burst.cryptosphere.world into the choose pool section and then press 'Change Reward Assignment'. This should automatically copy our Burst Pool address into your clipboard, but if for some reason it doesn't it is BURST-ATHY-NWXS-YT9J-ASL5N .
Paste this in the Recipient box, and enter the passphrase to your wallet in the other box. Then press submit.
If you are greeted with a confusing page of data.. you did it correctly! Now you need to wait about 20 minutes for your reward assignment to change, and then you can begin mining.
To mine, go back to 'Start Mining' and press 'Start Mining (CPU / AVX)
This should bring up a window like this, showing the drives loading and the latest block.
If it doesn't, and the command prompt window is empty or only shows a small amount of text, try switching the mining pool address to 126.96.36.199 instead.
If that fails to work, or you experience any other issues along the way, feel free to leave a message in our BURST forum
Remember, the more people/storage capacity that join the pool, the more chance we have of winning blocks!
Good Luck! And happy mining!

ERK8 (extracellular-signal-regulated protein kinase 8) expressed in Escherichia coli or insect cells was catalytically active and phosphorylated at both residues of the Thr-Glu-Tyr motif. Dephosphorylation of the threonine residue by PP2A (protein serine/threonine phosphatase 2A) decreased ERK8 activity by over 95% in vitro, whereas complete dephosphorylation of the tyrosine residue by PTP1B (protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B) decreased activity by only 15–20%. Wild-type ERK8 expressed in HEK-293 cells was over 100-fold less active than the enzyme expressed in bacteria or insect cells, but activity could be increased by exposure to hydrogen peroxide, by incubation with the protein serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor okadaic acid, or more weakly by osmotic shock. In unstimulated cells, ERK8 was monophosphorylated at Tyr-177, and exposure to hydrogen peroxide induced the appearance of ERK8 that was dually phosphorylated at both Thr-175 and Tyr-177. IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor 1), EGF (epidermal growth factor), PMA or anisomycin had little effect on activity. In HEK-293 cells, phosphorylation of the Thr-Glu-Tyr motif of ERK8 was prevented by Ro 318220, a potent inhibitor of ERK8 in vitro. The catalytically inactive mutants ERK8[D154A] and ERK8[K42A] were not phosphorylated in HEK-293 cells or E. coli, whether or not the cells had been incubated with protein phosphatase inhibitors or exposed to hydrogen peroxide. Our results suggest that the activity of ERK8 in transfected HEK-293 cells depends on the relative rates of ERK8 autophosphorylation and dephosphorylation by one or more members of the PPP family of protein serine/threonine phosphatases. The major residue in myelin basic protein phosphorylated by ERK8 (Ser-126) was distinct from that phosphorylated by ERK2 (Thr-97), demonstrating that, although ERK8 is a proline-directed protein kinase, its specificity is distinct from ERK1/ERK2.

The concentrate of the computer technology system at Manville is to aid students develop pc literacy skills and to effectively integrate technology throughout the curriculum. Daniel – The pixel density (or pixels per inch) will lower with bigger TVs, so a 40 inch HDTV will not serve effectively as a computer monitor. Thanks Judy for reading and commenting, I have a lot of pc expertise to pass to anybody who wants it. Achievement comes only soon after challenging perform. In a perfect planet pc research would be just that – laptop studies, which means a curriculum that addresses the topic entirely from the most academic/theoretical side (pc-science) to the most applied/right away beneficial (info technologies, pc repair). Information is put into the pc from the outside planet using the keyboard, joystick or other input gear.
Right after the achievement of the Altair Ed Roberts retired to Georgia exactly where he earned a medical degree and spent the remainder of his life practicing medicine in Cochran Georgia. This man, who was in all probability much ahead of his time, could also not full his second project – the Analytical engine (1842), mainly simply because of the incompetence of the modern technologies. Pc assistance positions are in enhanced demand as organizations upgrade outdated hardware, computer software and network equipment and need far more knowledgeable professionals to respond to user questions. Other developments had been the escalating use of single user workstations and widespread use of pc networks. Transistors replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation computer.
Though the computer is basically a device to store retrieve and approach information, many other devices such as printers, music systems, video systems, games, communication devices, automatic data capture devices, and handle devise are now used in mixture with computer systems, that use the basic data input, output and processing capabilities of computer to create very innovative and systems with application in practically each aspects of human activities right now.
If a individual tends to make a error, the personal computer will make errors and there will be no way to know specifically how bad the computer's mistakes will be. There are cost-free beat producing options offered, but, don't forget: you get what you pay for. They have produced the interaction with the computer, user-friendly expertise and make it easy for ordinary individuals to be buddies with this technology. So you can shop a lot more data on your computer such as games, photographs, videos, applications, and far more. I am employing the one in the image and it is just as clear as any personal computer monitor.
We function as partners with you, sharing your objectives and constraints, to attain the ideal information options for your wants.

"We could always do DRAGONLORDS"
The gamers' lust for gaming is not yet slaked.
But hark! A clarion call, a rallying cry is sent forth to these gamesters-
"We could always do DRAGONLORDS."
Robert Martin stands by his proclamation as the gamers furrow their brows and shift nervously, desperately trying to shift the conversation toward other, more mutually agreeable games. He shrugs, nervously fingering the black linen box embossed with a diabolical red foil emblem, looking for all the world like a box set of some obscure Finnish metal band.
"I've got the Advanced Game Expansion and CRYSTAL OF POWER too."
The gamers agree, with great trepidation, and sit around the garish board as Robert produces beautifully painted metal miniatures- some painted completely one shade of red, other painted head-to-toe in spray paint green. The blobby plastic bits of the first edition, defiant in their failure to take the shape of orcs and elves, are still there to supplement these elite warriors.
"I'm really proud of these- I keep them on the mantle at home in a glass case."
Robert reveals his piece de resistance- metal dragonlord miniatures painted with at least 3 different colors of paint. One green, black, and red. One white, black, and red. Blood seems to seep from one Dragonlord's face, making his entire face appear stained with vermillion. We're stunned, but silent. Only laughter can break the aura of fear and madness these lords of dragons have inspired within us.
"OK, it's basically RISK mixed with TALISMAN…on your turn…"
3 hours pass by. Many, many dice are rolled. Blobby pieces scurry about the board, spraypainted gold rocks are exchanged for more blobby pieces and occasionally a boat. I go into the wastelands, get a Dragonlord, and then enact a holocaust of little blobby guys.
"Well, you pretty much won so we can quit unless you just want to finish."
Robert Martin begins to pack up the board, lovingly wrapping his beautiful miniatures in toilet paper to preserve their custom finishes. In his heart, a deep sadness begins to swell as he realizes that his prized Dragonlords Krodark Bloodhammer and Crallagh the Unsavory will likely not see action again, at least for another year. It is an autumnal sadness, as he packs away the game. He must know that his satisfaction in finally bringing his favorite game to the table must carry him through an unknowable number of seasons. But still, he'll bring the game every session…just in case some unknowing gamer can be lured into play. And hoping against hope, when game selection time dawns again, Robert will say:
"We could always do DRAGONLORDS."

A 'Short Sale' is what the real estate world commonly calls the sale of a property for less than what is owed on any liens, mortgages or other encumbrances.That means that you are able to sell the property for less than what you owe. You owe $150,000 and are able to sell the house for $100,000.
After the real estate collapse of 2008, property values were often decreased by 40%. I have seen cases where people owned homes appraised for $1.2 million in 2007 that were worth $700,000 in 2013. Obviously, the financial damage with a drop in your property value can lead to a homeowner owing far more than a property is worth.
Additionally, if you are not making payments on your mortgage, those payments become 'arrears'. If you owe $1,000 per month on your mortgage and are 3 months behind, the bank will say that you are 3 payments in arrears for $3,000. You owe $3,000. Additionally, other fees and attorney fees can be added to these 'arrears' to make your mortgage balance increase over time. As you can see, if you have not made a mortgage payment in several months (sometimes years), the figure required to make your account current could be substantial. Maybe you had equity in your home at some point, but are under water after considering the arrears.
Both of the above situations could lead to you owing more on your house than it is worth. Under certain conditions and after following certain procedures, you can request that the bank accept an offer by a third party to purchase your house for less than what you owe: that is the beauty of a short sale. Many other considerations must be weighed, including tax consequences. Please contact me for more information.
For your convenience, we have complied various real estate documents throughout the years. There is never an excuse or replacement for dedicated legal counsel that is reviewing your deals. Do not hold us accountable for the use of these documents, their legality in your particular circumstances or the liability that you assume by trying to 'play' lawyer.

Harry was extremely helpful. He answered questions I had regarding foreclosure and possible outcomes without taking me on as a client. His patience was outstanding and all my questions were answered in a very timely manner. I would recommend him to anyone needing real estate guidance and use him in the future for help with my next home purchase.—Jasmine H
We left our first lawyer and went over to Harry close to our closing date. Our first lawyer didn't want to answer a few basic questions we had, and then he wanted to charge extra for answering the questions. Harry accomodated us in the short space of time we had left, answering all our questions, clearly and professionally. He also carried out all our additional requests. I would highly recommend Harry to anyone looking for a property lawyer.—Grant Foster
Harry Marsh Law helped us close on our home on time & with ease. He is extremely knowledgeable & was willing to share his expertise to answer all of our questions! Would highly recommend!—Colleen McCann
Harry is the most wonderful attorney with whom we work. He is extremely knowledgeable, and as investors, he knows exactly how to handle all of our questions and closings, and we never have any problems when he is handling our affairs. 5 stars for sure!!—Gail Wetherell

The biggest problem with an anxiety attack is that we are not able to read the symptoms associated with it. Often, this leads to a delay in getting professional attention or explaining the condition to a doctor. The posts listed below are excellent sources of information on the symptoms of anxiety and stress.

You'll maybe want to visit North Korea after seeing this time-lapse
Apparently, there's DHL in North Korea. In a time-lapse called 'ENTER PYONGYANG', Koryo Tours collaborated with filmmakers JT Singh and Rob Whitworth to show us a different side to the North Korean capital.
While we often perceive the country as a wasteland, the video shows how – in some aspects – the citizens of Pyongyang are just like the rest of us. They have subways, roller blading, slavery work at a 9-to-5, and DHL. They also have incorruptible, trustworthy, and completely competent leaders – just like our politicians!

By JOEL COLEMAN
Prior to Saturday's season-opening game against South Alabama, Mississippi State had a total of one career start among its stable of quarterbacks. It had been nearly three full years since that start took place back when then-true-freshman Damian Williams started in the 2013 Egg Bowl in the place of an injured Dak Prescott.
Three years later and now a redshirt junior, Williams is in contention to be the full-time starter for the Bulldogs. His primary competition for the role, redshirt sophomore Nick Fitzgerald, started and got the first crack at the position on Saturday, but before the afternoon was over Williams had arguably established himself as the favorite for the starting job, at least in the immediate future.
"We started Nick because he graded higher through everything (in practice)," Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen said after Saturday's game. "When we went in, our plan was for each guy to get two series each just to see where we were at. Nick went in and missed a read, then had two dropped passes. With Damian, we scored twice so we just let him keep going at that point."
In fact, MSU scored on each of the first four drives led by Williams. That contrasted with a pair of three-and-outs when Fitzgerald was at the helm.
Fitzgerald never saw the field again after his second series of work, finishing 0-for-3 through the air with 11 rushing yards.
Williams helped State build a 17-0 halftime lead. Though the Bulldogs went on to squander their advantage and suffer a shocking loss to the Jaguars, Williams ended the day completing 20 of his 28 pass attempts for 143 yards and a touchdown. He also led the team with 93 yards rushing.
"He played hard," wide receiver Fred Ross said of Williams. "He ran the ball well. He made good reads. He threw the ball well. He did good as a quarterback."
Williams didn't play a perfect game by any stretch. MSU's offense bogged down in the second half, scoring only three total points over the third and fourth quarters. Williams also failed to hit South Alabama with the deep pass as he averaged only just over five yards per attempt.
Mullen credited much of that to South Alabama's defense.
"We just take what they give us," Mullen said. "That's what we always do. If they're going to play way off, then we're going to go underneath. If they're going to play up, then we'll go over the top. That's more of a decision made by the defense than us."
Williams is by no means assured of the full-time starting gig moving forward. Fitzgerald's tools and abilities still have him firmly in the mix, even though he saw limited time against South Alabama.
"He wasn't out there long, so it was kind of hard to get a feel for what he was doing." Ross said of Fitzgerald.
Judging by Mullen's words, Fitzgerald will still have another chance to prove himself in the future. That opportunity could come as soon as this Saturday when MSU hosts South Carolina at Davis Wade Stadium at 6 p.m. to begin Southeastern Conference play for the Bulldogs.
"Both (Williams and Fitzgerald) are going to get ready to go play and be ready to play in the future," Mullen said. "Both guys worked hard, got reps and we'll see how they do this week at practice."

The terrible feeling of panic, worry, fear and dread affects almost everyone. The disorder causes us to shut ourselves away from those we love. It strains us and takes happiness away from our lives. In the United States alone, around 30% of people between the ages of 18 and 54 are affected by anxiety. The feeling is nothing new since it has been found to exist since fourth century BCE; according to the writings by Hippocrates. Søren Kierkegaard, a Danish philosopher, theologian, poet and social critic, also addressed the disorder in the mid-1800's. According to the Anxiety Disorder Statistics, many people who are affected do not seek help, are misdiagnosed, or don't know they have issues with anxiety. If you're in the Florida area and are struggling with anxiety, take a look at trulieve dispensary to see how herbal remedies could help you. Lot's of people have stated that cannabis-related products have helped them overcome issues like this. These sort of dispensaries are able to offer a wide range of dispensary supplies so that people can find the ideal product for their needs.
What is anxiety and how did it become so prevalent to the current society?
Anxiety is a normal human emotion, whereas anxiety disorders are different. When we face difficult situations or have to make an important decision, the feeling of anxiousness drowns us. Anxiety disorders cause confusion and affect the person in greater depths. It prevents one from leading a normal life. Today, there is a significant increase in this particular disorder, especially in youth.
There are many ways to overcome this. Most people choose pharmaceutical drugs as means of classic treatment. Other techniques such as cognitive therapy (which is another common approach), meditation, yoga, massage and other relaxation techniques also help to cope with it.
Anxiety is currently an epidemic that's sweeping through Generation Y.
According to leading experts in psychology, some of the contributors to the development of such a disorder is the rise in in technology, strict parenting and exam-factory schooling. These methods we follow are the culprits that are overwhelming us with the demands of adulthood. According to the Telegraph, these factors can contribute towards the creation of anxiety within us as well as our children.
People who live around these three key factors tend to grow insecure. They start to question every decision they make since they become afraid of judgement from every corner. Although these key factors contribute great lengths towards the creation of anxiety for us, the overwhelming amount of choices we get in life can also be a factor. Psychologists explain that it's not the choice itself that creates anxiety but the judgemental society is what builds it. When an individual is pressured to always be the best, in a society that judges their every move, their self-esteem becomes lower.
How we can fight it.
Nowadays, anxiety is often treated with medications and counselling. The word "counselling" itself has "selling" in it. Pharmaceutical companies are thriving on people with anxiety.
Around 65% of North Americans take prescription medications daily, while 43% of those have to take mood altering prescriptions along with it. Even though people think that medication is the best way to control angst, studies have shown that relaxation techniques have proven to reduce anxiety.
Music therapy has also been successful in reducing anxiety.
Researchers at Mindlab International in the U.K. were determined to figure out what type of music provides an individual with the utmost state of relaxation.
The researchers at Mindlab International conducted a series of studies that included several participants. Each individual was given a difficult puzzle; which inherently triggered a certain degree of stress. The subjects were all connected to a monitoring system, with the help of sensors, that recorded their anxiety level. While trying to solve the puzzle, participants listened to a range of songs as researchers recorded their vitals. Brain activity, heart rate, blood pressure and rate of breathing were all monitored.
The experiment turned out to be a huge success when researchers discovered that one song, "Weightless", reduced the overall anxiety level in participants by as much as 65%. The song was in fact designed to induce a highly relaxed state. "Weightless" was designed by Marconi Union, who teamed up with sound therapists to create the masterpiece. The musicians, along with the sound therapists, managed to carefully arrange harmonies, rhythms and bass lines to slow down the listener's heart rate as well as blood pressure. Several candidates also showed signs of lower stress hormones like cortisol.
The music is so effective that some of the female participants became drowsy. Lead researcher Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson strictly advises listeners to not play the song while driving.
You can enjoy the song below and please don't forget to share!
Social media allows us to connect with everyone around the world, but at the same time can be the reason behind the development of anxiety. Today, people share everything in social media and compare themselves with others. Simple things such as relationship status, diets, figures, beauty, wealth and the standard of life is seen by anyone and everyone. This makes one compare themselves with others and develop depression. Researchers coined this tendency as 'social media envy' and suggest that the only form of solution is to limit exposure to social media sites. Whatever the technique may be, it's our duty to understand our limits and abilities. Only we are capable of changing our lives for the better or worse.

Is my love birthday on 02 April. Interestingly I do not think I have make a birthday cake for him for the years we have celebrate together. Reason is , he does not seem to fancy any cream cake, not that he is picky , I might have influence him that we always prefer light and fluffy cake.
To ask him what is his favourite cake is another pain . Almost to him everything is great. I guess for a novice baker , I am not good in create just from anything . Is better to have an core ingredients to look out for or even some flavor one prefer. After an argument , I give up and decided a cake I want to bake for him. I guess this will set the precedence for his birthday cake now onwards ^__*.
I chose Durian Mousse Cream Cake. Is so blessed to be able to find Malaysia frozen durian here. Which is pack in the packet.Though we have durian fruit that is frozen here but is mostly product of Thailand. I still prefer Malaysia durian.
It is such an excitement to bake this cake , not only it has been a long time we have durian but also the cake does not use any durian essence is just pure fragrant from the fruit itself.
Here is the recipe for the Durian Mousse Cream cake. I adapted from the recipe as the link I attached
Sponge Cake ( adapt from Wen Delights)
4 Eggs + 1 egg yolk
80g Sugar ( I used brown sugar and reduce from original 100g)
100g CakeFlour
100g Butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees C.
2. Grease & line 2 8" inches round baking tin with paper.( I am looking to make 2 small layer )
3. Whisk eggs and sugar until stiff. or double in volume. ( Draw a ribbon on the mixture ,it stay on the surface mean is right)
4. Fold in shifted flour by hand using spatula with an upward circulating motion.
5. Take some of the mixture mixed with the melted butter in a bowl, once well mixed pour into the batter and combine well until batter is shiny.
6. Pour into baking tins & bake for 30-35 mins
7. Once bake let it cool for awhile and take it out put on the rack to cool further.
Durian Mousse Cream ( I have 2 recipe mixed and I am totally satisfied with the result )
-> gracekitchencorner & WenDelights
Ingredients :
300g Durian Flesh ( pureed)
200ml Whipping Cream
100g Fresh Milk
2 egg yolks
40g Sugar
5 Tbsp Water
18g Gelatin
1. Place a metal bowl in freezer for used of cream whipping
2. Sprinkle the gelatin onto the water in a bowl , let it bloom . Then place the bowl in a bigger bowl with hot water in it to melt the gelatin
3. In a sauce pan, warm the milk with sugar until the sugar completely dissolved. In a large bowl, mixed the egg yolks then gradually pour the warm milk to the yolks mixed well. Mix in the durian flesh until well combine.
4. Add in the gelatin into the durian mixture and make sure all the gelatin combine well into the durian mixture. Leave it aside to cool down.
5. Take the metal bowl out and whipped the cream till soft peak.
6 Fold in whipped fresh cream into the durian mixture whisk well to combine by using a hand whisk.The durian mousse cream is ready to be used.
Assemble :
1. Have the 2 sponge cake ready to assemble, place 1st layer into a detachable 8" cake tin, spread the mousse on the cake
2.Cover with another layer of cake. Press the cake down a bit as it will tend to float up. Then spread remaining mousse.
3. Leave cake in the fridge to set.
4. I mixed another 50g of durian puree with 100g of whipped cream to make some decoration on the cake
The egg yolks does help to make the cream yellowish which is close with durian flesh color . Love this cake , as we have another couple join in the celebration , which the husband birthday is just few days apart. They both enjoy every bite of the cake.
Simply love the durian mousse cream. Is rich and creamy , as I used brown sugar in the sponge cake it looks brownish compare to white yellow sponge cake. However I do find the sponge cake is a bit on a heavy texture is not as light and fluffy as the sponge cake would be.
Surely will bake this cake again, might try different type of sponge cake recipe then.
If you are durian lover , definitely must try this and enjoy the fullest of this beautiful fruit.

New York is the home of some incredible gospel choirs and if you are planning a visit to the big apple there are plenty of places for you to hear gospel music live around the city. Although there are some guided tours created specifically for tourists – these can often be expensive and feel a little inauthentic so I've rounded up the top three places for you to get the best experience of gospel choirs in New York, without the price tag.
|Image source: TSC Music Facebook
Times Square Church
Address: 237 West 51st St. New York, NY 10019
Nearest Metro Stop: 50 St
The most centrally located of the bunch is Times Square Church, which is actually a renovated Broadway theatre right in the heart of Manhattan. The 180 strong Adult Praise Choir is made up of people from over 30 different nationalities and all walks of life including students, business professionals and single mums who meet to perform and worship. This one is ideal for anyone who's time in New York doesn't fall over a weekend as they minister a mid week service on Tuesdays at 7pm along with the two Sunday services at 10am and 6pm.
|Image Source: FCBCNYC Facebook
First Corinthian Baptist Church
Address: 1912 Adam Clayton Powell Jr Blvd, New York, NY 10026
Nearest Metro Stop: 116 St
Perhaps the most social media savvy gospel choir in New York on the list, the choir from the First Corinthian Baptist Church not only have their own Facebook, Twitter and Instagram page – they also stream their performances live online! Tourists will always get a warm welcome here and they have three Sunday morning services to choose from. If you want to beat the crowds, go for the 7.30am service but if early rising isn't your thing there are also two later services at 9.30am and 11.30am. Located just on the borders of Manhattan and Harlem, the First Corinthian Baptist Church is also just a five minute stroll from the northern side of Central Park, so why not team your New York gospel choir experience with a brisk Sunday morning walk around the greenest part of the city.
|Image Source: The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir Facebook
Brooklyn Tabernacle Church
Address: The Brooklyn Tabernacle, 17 Smith Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
Nearest Metro Stop: Jay St
The Brooklyn Tabernacle is often given the title of the best gospel choir in New York and it's not hard to see why as the 270 voice choir has already scooped up five Dove awards and six Grammys. The choir was first formed in the 1970's with just 9 people before it went on to enjoy the global success that it does today including performing at the 2012 Presidential Inauguration in front of an estimated viewing audience of one million people. The church can be found in downtown Brooklyn, just a short walk away from the Brooklyn Bridge, and this choir too only ministers in Sunday services at either 9am, 12pm or 3pm. The choir will sometimes be replaced with a core group of Brooklyn Tabernacle singers but to check if the choir is singing for a specific date and service, you can call the church office before you visit.
Top Tips
It is important to remember that the choirs are performing as part of a religious service, so be respectful and look up any specific visitor information before you go – they will usually have helpful advice pages for tourists on their website.
Always double-check the service times online a few days before you are due to go as they may change, particularly if there are other events in the church calendar
The services will normally be over two hours long, so try and leave yourself enough time to stay for the duration, as it may be considered disrespectful to leave halfway through.
Have you ever heard a gospel choir perform? Have you ever heard a gospel choir in New York perform? Where are your favourite spots in the world to see them?

Black carbon filtering
This page contains directions on how to work with the filters for the ACSP black carbon filtering technique. Details on the research project can be found at: The Cryosphere Article
You will have collected your snow sample and it will be in a sealed ziplock bag. You will have your basic filtering gear which includes a syringe, filters, a filter holder, and some coin holders to preserve the filters. The first video shows how to load up the filter holder for filtering:
Once your filter is loaded into the filter holder, you will need to load the syringe and attach the filter holder to the syringe:
Next, you will need to use the syringe to slowly push the water through the filter. Watch the video for tips on filtering speed as well as on how to uniformly distribute the contaminants on the filter.
You will next need to remove the filter holder from the syringe and reload the syringe. You will typically do this ten times so that you filter a total of 600 ml of water. If the filter appears to be quite dirty, stop earlier and make a note of how much water was filtered.
Finally, after finishing filtering, you will need to remove the filter from the filter holder and put it into the coin holder for preservation and transportation.
The following links are the websites where I get the equipment for filtering.
Filters, Pall Tissuquartz 25 mm circles from neobits
Filter holders, Millipore 25 mm swinnex Luer lock filter holders
Coin holders, 25mm coin holders with white rings
The above suppliers have been reliable and fast for me in the past, but not necessarily the least expensive. BE AWARE THAT IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES, IT HAS TAKEN SEVERAL MONTHS TO RECEIVE EQUIPMENT. SOME OF THESE ITEMS ARE NOT HIGH DEMAND ITEMS SO THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS STOCKED. Use of a different filter type could have an unknown affect on results with my instrumentation, so it is highly recommended to use the tissuquartz filters for consistency. Other items necessary include plastic bags. I buy 1 gallon (4 liter) ziploc plastic bags from the grocery store.
