Reality Bites: Why Hope Matters More Than Ever In YA and Middle Grade
With violence ever-present in our world today, teens should be pulling more than books off the shelves. Hope may just be the most valuable sub-plot for young readers.
As readers we look for characters we can identify with. We search for signs that we're choosing the right paths in our own lives. We seek out heroes among the pages of our latest read. But when it comes to today's kids, hope may just be the most valuable plot device for young readers. Join award winning author, Stephanie Keyes, as she shares why it matters and one teacher's suggestions on how to keep the candles burning inside the teens browsing the stacks.

I've been adding a lot more photos from Wonderfests of years gone by. Photos from 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 have been given a second Wonderfest page HERE. All of the links haven't been worked out, but they'll be fixed in a day or two. I'll be adding years 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 as well.
I have old photos from more MMSI shows and photos from old Kitbuilders shows. Also, I'll start to add a customer gallery, showing what some of Animated Hobbies customer's have done with their models.
Many of these photos have been shown on different sites, such as Buc Wheat's Models (http://www.bucwheat.com/) and Facebook, but now they'll be in one place and easy to reference.

Really nice juice this one though it is a little on the sweet side. If you have a sweet tooth and like strawberry I would recommend it.
By Ry from Margate
really nice and creamy. Strawberry isn't overpowering at all as with most strawberry ice cream based juices.
By Lauren from London
To me this tastes literally exactly like a Frijj strawberry milkshake. Very thick and creamy with lots of very sweet strawberry. The strawberry was just slightly too artificial for my taste, but really great vapour production from a 60 vg juice!
By Michael from Kent
Not to bad i get the strawberry flavour but its a little weak if you ask me!
not in my top 5 but not in my bottom 5, a sort of nothing smoke
By Lemondrizzy
Ok, so what can i say about the slamberry as opposed to the dream cream? Well, it's a little better than the dream cream in a flavour sense,however, not much better. It smells amazing literally like a frothy strawberry ice cream with strawberry sweet sauce drizzled over it. Shame it does 't taste that way though. I found this to be quite thick and a bit creamy on the inhale and i liked that but was expecting a burst of strawberry on the exhale at least, but on the exhale there was a slight hint of artificial strawberry. A big let down considering it actually vapes well.
The flavour production was to weak for me, maybe this is a good thing for some people that don't like overpowering fruit flavours. Not a bad tasting juice though! But just, not very tasty imho. Produces a good amount of clouds and a please t vape but just lacks that final kick of sweetness and taste, similar to the dream cream to be honest.
By James
Not great to be honest. I mean it doesn't taste bad, it just doesn't really taste of anything. Much better Straweberry/Cream etc flavours out there. Overall disappointing, wont be ordering more.
Set up: Aspire Atlantis v2, 0.5 ohm coils @ 30W.
By Gordon from Lodon
I keep coming back to this one, its just a lovely lovely vape. Really fresh not too heavy.
Word of advice does not play well with Aspire coils, I have used in Triton and Nautilus and the flavor was muted. I would also not recomend TC coils, this juice works best in wattage with a kanthal or stainless steel coil at a relatively low wattage, you put too much heat through this and you lose the flavor.
I have used it in Kanger Subtank, Cubis and Isub Apex and s tanks and it rocks all of them.
By LUV2VAPE from Scotland
My number 1 all day vape, I have been vaping this on and off since December and still come back for more, when I first tried this in September I stopped smoking straight away due to this being so good and didn't vape on anything but this. Flavour is amazing no mater what tank I use, strawberry is sweet and cream is so smooth. love it.
By Kincho from Wrexham North Wales
for a 40/60 this must be at the top, very smooth and creamy, along with a cup of tea, cant beat it good cloud also,
By Hugomoura from Swindon
I've bought this to give it a try and I'm not happy with that, I'm using a triton 2 with regular coils.5 at 27.5W...can barely feel any strawberry in it the main flavor I get is pastry...I don't know if is just me but.....vapor surprisingly good for a 60VG.

CPHS Boys' Soccer falls 3-1 to Ponca City, Cody Gurley scores lone goal/
By: Scott Emigh, Editor-in-Chief
The Charles Page High School Boys' Soccer team (2-2) took on the Ponca City Wildcats (2-1) in the first round of the Stillwater Cup Friday afternoon at Pioneer Stadium and were defeated 3-1.
SEE RELATED: Lady Sandite Soccer notches first win 3-0 over Enid at Stillwater Cup
Mitchel Wilson scored on the first shot of the game for the Wildcats, just a minute and a half into the match.
Sand Springs went on a run from there getting off the next five shots over eight minutes. Two were deflected, two were saved by Dereck Jernigan, but the fifth sailed true. Senior forward Cody Gurley connected on the game-tying shot in the ninth minute.
Ponca didn't take long to retaliate, however, as Zach Martin bounced a corner kick off Wilson's chest and into the goal just two minutes later.
Both teams took a trio of shots apiece over the duration of the half, but the Wildcats held on to the 2-1 lead at halftime.
Gabe Jeffus took a phenomenal 35-yard shot early in the second half that headed perfectly for the top corner, but Jernigan was sharp on his feet and hauled in the save. Instead, it was the Wildcats who found the net, once again off a corner kick for a 3-1 lead.
The Sandite offense never slowed down, taking eleven shots in the final thirty minutes, but only a few were on target. The strong Sandite backfield kept Ponca from getting off more than a single shot in that time period, but the Wildcats held up defensively as well and prevailed 3-1.
Edgar Soberano got the start at goalie and pulled in one save before being relieved at halftime by sophomore Ethan Tippit. Tippit also recorded one save.
The Sandites return to action Saturday at 12:20 against Choctaw (1-3). The Yellowjackets fell 7-0 to Stillwater in their quarterfinal. The game will be held at Oklahoma State University's Colvin Recreational Soccer Fields. The winner of that game will play for fifth place at 5:20 p.m. in Pioneer Stadium, while the loser will play for seventh place at 5:20 p.m. in Colvin Fields.
The Girls' team will be playing in the semifinals at 10:40 a.m. against undefeated Coweta (3-0) who rolled over previously undefeated Ponca City (3-1) 5-1 in their quarterfinal. The winner of that game will play for first place at Pioneer Stadium, while the loser will play for third at Colvin Fields. Both games will be at 7:00 p.m.

150 Miles For a Wave - By Dan Sharpe
Stepping away from the platform, my first job was to navigate my way through
suburbia to the Cremyll ferry. From there I would leave Plymouth across the
Tamar and begin my hike in Mount Edgecombe Country Park. My goal was to
hike the length of the Cornish Coastal Path, some 300 miles of undulating cliffs
and sandy bays. For the first four days I would travel light, alternating wild
camping and nights in hostels, but upon departing Falmouth I would be
travelling with my surfboard.
Indeed, the main goal of this journey was to find hidden coves and empty waves
in an otherwise crowded part of England, and I conceived that the best way to
achieve this was on foot. Not all would go as smoothly as I hoped however, with
an injured back and stormy weather I was forced to re-evaluate my goals around
half way through the hike. That is for another day however, and here I want to
focus on the 150-mile mission to Sennen Cove.
I breezed through the first four days, covering the 80 miles of coast between
Plymouth and Falmouth in the late spring sunshine. I was not planning on
covering the distance so quickly, especially having 6 weeks to complete the hike,
but motivated by the stunning views and the upcoming weather forecast I knew
if I could get to Falmouth I could ride out the worst of the inbound storm.
Sure enough, I lay up in the town for a number of days as torrential rain and
winds battered the southwest coast, but soon enough I had to take a chance and
push on with my journey. Everything was soaked in the first mile. The rain had
lessened to a steady drizzle but the wind pushing off the sea meant every corner
of my gear was wet. Carrying my surfboard and wetsuit, the weight had
increased massively and it was cumbersome, as I am sure you can imagine. When
the coastal path was conceived I am sure they did not have in mind that people
would be carrying a human-sized bit of foam along it for miles. Every incline,
decline, forest, or gorse bush made it agonisingly slow to travel with my board.
I camped that night in the trees above a small cove near Helford Passage. I set up
my tarp, got inside my bivvy bag and tried to drift off to the sound of the
metronomic raindrops falling overhead. I was cold, tired, and alone, but with the
occasional sound of a distant foghorn out in the Atlantic, I knew I was on a
proper adventure.
This near sleepless night took its toll however, and for the next few days I
struggled with morale. The weather improved, although remained changeable,
and my body began to fatigue. My upper back struggled not so much with the
weight, but the uneven load (I can almost hear my parents saying: "I told you
so"), and by the time I got to Lizard Point I knew something had to give. I opted
for the hostel on the point that night, and rising early in an attempt to get some
good miles covered I realised I could not get out of bed. My back was in agony,
every motion or twist sending shooting pains of such intensity that it took every
ounce of discipline not to yell and wake the other hiker in my room.
I waited for him to depart, smiling politely and not letting on to the pain I was in,
then I went about trying to sit up. After an hour or so of slow movements,
stretching, and more willpower than I knew I had, I was on the path again and
pushing west.
I actually surfed that day, much to my amazement, but by the time I had reached
Lands End I had surfed only twice and the journey seemed to be more a mental
test than it was an exercise to find hidden waves. Having lightened my load and
switched to a day-hiking routine, my back had began to recover and I reached my
first reputable surf break with a small swell pushing into the bay.
Sennen Cove is the most westerly surf spot in Cornwall, and as such picks up
every morsel of swell created by those Atlantic storms. Winds hundreds if not
thousands of miles out to sea will create surface chop, or small waves, that
permeate only slightly under the surface of the ocean. The size of these swells
will depend on the strength of the storm, the direction of the wind, and the ocean
conditions at the time. As these chops move away from the storm they
amalgamate, forming waves, that over large distances become more and more
orderly until they eventually meet a landmass that obstructs their progress. As a
surfer, we hope that these waves are big enough, come from the right direction, and coincide with local conditions (tide, wind, sandbars etc.) that we can
eventually catch the wave and ride them. For me, that entire concept is
mesmerising. The fact that this wave you are catching has potentially formed
days in advance, thousands of miles away, is incredible, and its last act is to pick
you up and allow you to surf along its face until all of the energy it has generated
finally dissipates as the wave breaks on whatever point, reef or beach it is you
are surfing.
Looking out to a murky Sennen Cove, the reality did not live up to the fairy-tale.
The waves were small, weak and jumbled up which resulted in a very poor
session. The forecast for the morning was promising however, with crisp
offshore winds and larger waves than those of the evening prior. I hitchhiked
back to my hostel, got some rest, and dreamed of what might be.
I arrived early to an empty beach, the tide just hitting low and the offshore wind
chilling the air. My ride the previous evening had given me a tip-off about a
sandbank that was producing good waves, and as I sat staring out to sea I could
see the bank becoming submerged as the tide began to push. I noticed a
longboarder paddling over from the south, so put on my wetsuit and joined him
in the lineup.
There were no waves for the first 15 minutes, the tide too low to allow the swells
to break over our planned position. Our patience paid off. The first set came
through and it was immediately clear we had scored. There was me, sat with an
extremely proficient longboarder and one other surfer, and as the first wave
peeled right of the bank for some 100-150m we just looked at each other in awe.
Finally, after 150 miles of hiking, I was in the position I had hoped to be. My
excitement got the better of me. I took my first wave and fell immediately, the
cool spring water leaving my feet cumbersome and numb. Then, over the next
two hours the three of us shared some of the best waves I have ever surfed on the Cornish coast. Head high right-hand waves broke tirelessly over this
impressive sandbank and I was thankful when the inrushing tide killed the wave
count; I could barely paddle to shore.
That was what this journey was about. I sat recovering on the rocks, stretching
out my back that was still tight after the exertion, and all of the last two weeks
did not matter. The fatigue, the rain, the forced change of plans had all led to that
session and after two weeks and 150 miles of walking, I had found what I had
come for. You may think it is crazy when you can just hop in a car and drive to
the beach, but the reality was that besides two other self-motivated locals, no
one had. So when people ask if that one session was worth it, well, you already
know my answer.

Challenge Monitoring the quality of care is a complex process, not in the least because of the information asymmetry and multitude of involved stakeholders. PEP solves the following problems currently experienced in the monitoring the quality of care:
- Costs of information collection (visitations and surveys are expensive)
- Throughput time (quality ratings lag behind reality)
- Quality, trustworthiness, independence (inspectors are not the actual patients)
- Demographic and hindsight bias (existing surveys are skewed towards older patients reflecting on their care after the event).
Opportunity Potential customers of the platform include healthcare providers, consultancies, insurance companies and care purchasers, information providers / platforms, inspectorates and patient organisations. The underlying algorithm also works for other markets, and has been validated as an instrument for collecting student voice for UK higher education institutes. The venture will commercialise this opportunity around the world, building on existing traction in the UK and expanding fast to healthcare markets in the US, Germany and other promising EU-countries, as well as emerging opportunities in the Middle-East and Asia.
Solution The Patient Experience Platform (PEP) is a system that reads and combines multiple sources of patient feedback (incl. social media like Facebook and Twitter) to form a near real-time collective judgement on quality for individual hospitals and departments on any given date. The underlying algorithm, the Patient Voice Tracking System (PVTS), has been shown to offer an effective predictor of the outcomes of in-depth quality inspections of hospitals in England. The publication detailing these findings remained the most read article in the BMJ Quality & Safety journal for five months after its publication.
Status The venture will be a data and analytics platform at its core that independently sells quality rating information to end users and/or plays the role of an engine behind other players that market the information ("powered by PEP"). The exact products and corresponding business models will be developed by exposing the value propositions to the market.

I just had a crash course (no pun intended) on Spanish culture.
Yesterday I took the written portion of the driver's license exam. And I passed. My American friends are unimpressed. My Spanish husband is taking me to dinner to celebrate.
In Spain there is an entire industry built around the driver's licenses. Driving schools are expensive and obligatory. Written tests are ridiculously difficult, almost ensuring that the average person will take at least two trips to the exam room. There are official policies about what to do if you surpass the 3 allowed attempts. In short, it's the perfect picture of Spanish bureaucracy – expensive? Check. Time consuming? Check. Maddeningly complicated? Check.
I had some idea that the exam itself would be tough. I was prepared for that. I was not prepared for the literally hundreds of people taking all manner of tests – written, practical, cars, motorcycles, trucks. A madhouse. As we pulled in I was instantly blown away by the sea of orange. Why do all of the driving schools use orange as their color? And the building? Ah, the building… There is an adjective in Spanish - tercermundista or third-worldish - that most adequately describes the building. Nacho told me that he also went there for his driving exams. 15 years ago. Clearly the building has not been remodeled since then. And it's not for the lack of funds. With three monitors and 150 test-takers, the government is most certainly making the licensing a lucrative business.
Perhaps for that very reason, and in all fairness, compared to other Spanish paperwork procedures, this one was well-organized. Albeit way behind schedule. The test was supposed to start at 12:30. At about 12:35 they started calling each of the 150 or so test-takers one by one. We started the exam around 1. It's literally a check-the-box test. Surely corrected by hand. Results were out this morning around noon. And they were available online. A major step for Spanish bureaucracy.
I've heard that the actual driving portion of the exam is even more overwhelming. And that even non-smokers will have the urge to puff a couple while waiting hours for their turn to be called. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks to eleconomista for the picture. No cameras allowed in the high-tech testing area.

I'm just another normal white teenager who enjoys spending a lot of time on the Internet. Unless you count that I have Asperger's Syndrome. Or that I'm VERY into choir and musical theater. Or that I play Elder Scrolls obsessively. Or...yeah, I'm really not that normal.
My aspirations are to go on and do something with music, whether it be in musical theater, being a choir instructor, or maybe even teaching voice lessons or something of the sort.
I'm also an avid gamer...my favorites are Mass Effect, Team Fortress 2, Cave Story, Touhou, Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Minecraft.
I can also quote every single episode of Arrested Development.
Cheetahben features examples of:
- Adorkable: A friend actually used this exact term to define me.
- Ambiguously Gay: Don't get me wrong, I'm not.
- Audio Erotica: I have a very deep bass voice with a fair amount of vibrato.
- Berserk Button: When people dismiss singing as "easy." Because it's NOT.
- Beware the Nice Ones: I've been known to hit with incredibly hard punches, but only when I get really mad.
- Big Eater: I can easily polish off three cans of Pringles in one sitting.
- Bishonen
- Character Tics: I brush my bangs out of my eyes when I get nervous, even if I recently got a haircut.
- Cool Loser: I tend to get along with just about everyone, just don't actively hang out with anybody...unless it's choir people.
- Cursed with Awesome: Asperger's actually has given me a few advantages...meeting a wonderful counselor, learning things at an incredibly fast and adept rate, and communicating more fluently through writing and drawing.
- Deadpan Snarker: My mom says I'm even smartass while texting.
- Geek Physiques: 6 feet tall, 30-inch waist.
- Gentle Giant: I have a really tall appearance, but I'm honestly a really big hugging kind of guy.
- Ho Yay: I've spanked other guys, given other dudes piggy-back rides, and give long and awkward hugs to male friends purposefully. It makes the fangirl heart aflutter.
- Mistaken for Gay: Having a somewhat effeminate speaking voice and being into musical theater kinda makes that happen a lot.
- True Companions: I consider my group of friends as this. Even when petty arguments break out, we just put that all aside in the end.

232 Entries for "leather"
leather like my skin,hard and soft,depending on the process of making it
The smell of the old battered sofa filled my lungs with the nostalgic scent of childhood. Scraped knees and buckled shoes.
isn't that the stuff people like to wear in their sexual encounters to make it a little dirtier?? lol… too funny… black leathered out! lol
guilty conscience. modern cavepeople. unnecessary vanity.
I really have nothing to say about leather… I thought I already did this one… but come to think about it, don't you hate it when its really hot and it decides to stick to your butt?
leather comes from cows right? so that makes beef and leather. food and clothing. the two most important things for humans. cows kick ass! all the provision from one stinky animal.
ewwwww its weird feeling…..
As i watched the Mord'sith put on her skin tight blood-red ,leather suit, my body shivered in anticipation. She picked up her Agiel. Her face cringed in pain as it shocked her, the constant pain just hurting her. Its time. I taught her well. Now it's her time to torture me to death. I've been waiting for this moment
My leathery skin has baked in the sun so long that I feel less like a human and more like a handbag.
its nice to touch and soft. sometimes in the heat though you stick to it. leather is from cows and makes nice furniture and cool clothing. it comes in many colors. leather is very helpful and can be used for a lot of tings. leather is great.
skin. clothes.
sacrifice. fashion.
Old, warm, menacing. Torn from an animal's flesh for our use, perhaps. But it smells like instinct and feels like home. Brown and soft.
I saw a leather sofa on the side of the road. My Italian friend pronounced it 'leether'. It made me laugh, real hard. I think it's still there!
i know its comes from cows which im against. but when i did horseback riding all the equipment was leather and its important so that makes me not really against it. i dont like jackets though.
S and M, anyone? I know, I'm a pervert. Leather is one of the best smells there is–up there with the earth after it rains, and campfire smoke. Delicious, comforting.
leather is nice on furniture. it is also what some people look like when they tan too much and grow old. please do not tan that much you look like an oompaloompa. like come one if you are so tan you look orange, there is something wrong, no one finds you attractive when you do that. and it makes you look worse when you grow old, i would rather be pale and white than be that tan
i think cows are very nice, espcially when they die so we can ritually harvest their skin, proceed to burn it in the sun until a vile, ruthless consitiency is about it, and then fashion it into unorthodox shapes so that we may wear skin ontop of our skin to make ourselves feel "more human"
Leather is made from cows. If you wear it too much it smells really bad, although it smells pretty bad to begin with really. Surprisingly, it can grow mould on it but you can wash it right off. Shoes break really easily if they aren't made from leather. Some people say vegetarians shouldn't wear leather, but it's pretty hard to avoid in regards to shoes and belts.
the shoes are hurting – why did I go for these high heel shoes? tell me! the beautiful red leather was to die for – only natural that they would kill.
What kind of random explosion can I come up with leather!? Leather!? First burst of words would be kinky! But really, let's be serious. Wouldn't the world be great without synthetics and just leather?
shoes. bags. it's expensive. but of high quality. also animals. damn, i hate it when they kill animals just to be accessories.

Sailing across Lake Anahuac
July 21st, 2013
by Natalie Wiest
Nine optimistic folks were up to the challenge of finding new and innovative, or even tried and true, methods of sailing canoes and kayaks across Lake Anahuac and Sunday morning, July 21, 2013, we duly set sail across the lake.
Natalie's "two sticks"
My "tried and true" method was the most primitive, two sticks stuck in a plastic shelf base and tied up to the canoe thwart, with a 2-pocket rectangular sail atop all. I'd used this once before and it worked OK – not the fastest, but it can be effective. Only problem at this particular start – no wind and this photo shows the sail filling in the wrong direction. It was getting plenty warm out there on the open lake and we were all a bit chagrined at the non-wind at the start although things did pick up a bit later.
Terry's plaid sails
Harmon and Terry had matching plaid sails but two slightly different designs. We loved their cute outriggers which worked just fine. Here's Terry at the putin.
Her comment on this rig: "We arrived early to the put in. Upon setting up, I realized that my boom was longer than the sails stays. We had shortened the boom once earlier on. Not setting up the sails the evening before, I failed to remember that Harmon also shortened the outriggers. My sail was too long from mast to the end of the boom even though I had put a dart in center. 50 feet from shore I had to go back and re-rig my sail and connect the end of the boom to the top of the mast for the boom was falling in the water.
"Now I am back in the water, there is no wind to speak of. The paddle I generally use for paddling was too long with the outrigger positioned where it was behind the seat. I kept hitting the mast stays, the outrigger floats. The stroke of the paddle had to change to a short shallow stroke.
"The winds did come up along with the waves and off I went, but much slower than everyone else. The sail was working but the rudder was not. I had to constantly use my paddle to rudder as the wind was much stronger than my short stocky stroke to attempt to keep the kayak tacking in the direction of the lunch stop. I was moving but not always in the direction I was supposed to go.
Harmon's sail
"Sailing was not bad as the wind was up. We turned into the bayou and there was no wind. My short stocky paddle stroke for the next 2 mi was wearing on my elbow and arms. I would say with a few adjustments before the next outing then all may be great. I want to thank Harmon for taking a few of my ideas along with his and making this an experience that could be doable."
Note the slightly different configuration of Harmon's sail, which he seemed quite happy with but I believe his redesign may feature a larger sail area.
Steve's design
Cindy's rig
Steve had an even different design for his kayak, plans he borrowed from the Web. This design seemed to work quite well.
He and Cindy were able to take advantage of designed–in rudders for steering their kayaks under sail. Here's Cindy's rig, a commercially available sail with a very clever design. This is a "Wind Paddle" sail.
Joe's entry
Joe was a last-minute entry, but also a clever design that featured the wing of a model airplane that his son had left unprotected. I like the Bedouin-style sun protection as well.
Paul's craft
Paul did some very interesting construction to put his craft together, featuring one of the largest sail areas. However, a modest design flaw soon had that big outrigger pipe sinking into the lake. We limp/floated to the edge of the lake and rerigged so that Paul and I became a catamaran, our two boats (canoe and kayak) tied together by the crossmembers with my canoe now being the giant outrigger. All went well until after our lunch break (when we actually had so much wind on the lake there were whitecaps!) and wave action further destroyed the connective abilities of PVC glue. By the time we got up Turtle Bayou to the takeout at White's Park, Paul's rig was pretty much de-constructed.
Dave's Hobie
Dave had the most efficient of the sailing rigs, the commercial rigging of Hobie, and he just flew around, sailing circles around the rest of us whenever there was wind. Here he is.
Of course we now wish to have a rematch, and you're welcome to join us too. Well, sometime when we can count on prevailing southerly winds (for people like me who really can't tack). Wouldn't you like to join us?

Music Lessons on String Instruments
We offer lessons on string instruments including the violin, viola, cello, and bass. Students will start with the basics of their chosen instrument such as proper tone production, hand position, finger placement, and bow hold. Intermediate and advanced students will further advance their studies through both technical studies and while learning significant repertoire within a variety of styles and genres. Teachers use a variety of methods including parts of the suzuki method to best meet the needs of their students.All of our lessons include instruction on music theory, notation, and rhythm while students explore classical music, popular music, and jazz!
About the Violin
The violin, also known informally as a fiddle, is a wooden in the string family. It is the smallest and highest-pitched instrument in the family in regular use. The violin has four strings tuned in perfect fifths, and is most commonly played by drawing a bow across its strings, though it can also be played by plucking the strings with the fingers (pizzicato). Violins are important instruments in a wide variety of musical genres. They are most prominent in the Western classical tradition and in many varieties of folk music. They are also frequently used in genres of folk including country music and bluegrass music and in jazz. Electric violins are used in some forms of rock music and jazz; further, the violin has come to be played in many non-Western music cultures, including Indian music and Iranian music. The name fiddle is often used in reference to folk music, particularly Irish traditional music and bluegrass, but this nickname is also used regardless of the type of music played on it.
About the Viola
The viola dates from the same time as the violin, coming into existence in the early to middle 16th century. The viola is slightly bigger than the violin and even though the viola and violin can play many of the same notes, they each have a special sound quality. Sometimes people describe the viola's sound as more "dark", "earthy", or "mellow" than the violin's sound. The viola plays notes that are lower in pitch and often fills in harmonies in an orchestra by blending the string sections together and giving body to the orchestra as a whole.
About the Cello
The cello (pronounced like 'chello") is the second largest member of the string family. Like the other string instruments, sound is produced by drawing a bow across the strings or by plucking the strings. Like other string instruments the cello comes in just two pieces, the instrument and the bow. The bow uses horsehair or a synthetic material to vibrate the strings as it is drawn over the instrument. The cello is played in an upright position with the left hand resting on the back of the neck and the right either plucks the strings or holds the bow. The cello is still used in many styles of music throughout the world. It is well known for its use in symphony orchestras and occasionally performs in popular music groups as well.
About the Bass (Double Bass)
The double bass is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra.The origin of the name of the double bass stems from the fact that its initial function was to double the bass line of large ensembles.This hefty instrument has several nicknames including contrabass, string bass, bass, bass viol, bass fiddle, or bull fiddle.The double bass can be played using two different types of bows. The French or 'Bottesini' bow resembles a cello bow but is shorter and heavier. The second type is the German 'Simandl' or 'Butler' bow. It is commonly used in jazz, dance music, popular music, and folk music. Military and concert bands across the globe use it. In the orchestra, the double bass supplies power, weight, and the basic rhythmic foundation.

3. A proven track record of excellence since 2005.
Every year, aspiring music teachers start their own studio, and a year or two later it's closed. We focus on teaching and do not have a store within our studio. The original, and still operating Cady School of Music in Albany, has a proven track record of offering quality music lessons, guitar, voice, singing, piano and drum lessons in the Capital District, New York year round. Our full time focus is teaching music.
4. A comfortable parent's lounge for our clients and kids play area.

Every parent just wants to know how their child is doing and if they are really progressing.

8. Trophies, certificates and award wristbands to celebrate achievement.
We are the only music school in Guilderland, or even Albany County that gives their students the opportunity to earn special color wristband bracelets (kids and teens love them!), trophies AND certificates for passing musical tests.

The Musical Ladder is our unique method of music education that you can only get here. This program is designed for all students who take music lessons at Guilderland Music Academy on voice (singing), piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, cello, bass, saxophone, oboe, french horn, trumpet, trombone, tuba, clarinet, and flute.

By generating CRISPR-mediated elovl2 knockout, we are planning to study the crucial role of elovl2 for multi-tissue synthesis of 22:6n-3 in vivo. Endogenously synthesized PUFAs are important for transcriptional regulation of lipogenic genes in Atlantic salmon. This study demonstrates key roles of elovl2 at two penultimate steps of PUFA synthesis in vivo and suggests Srebp-1 as a main regulator of endogenous PUFA synthesis in Atlantic salmon.

Come learn the wonders of MQTT and CoAP! Happy New Year! Have you made any new resolutions? One of my goals this year is to broaden my understanding of the ever-growing IoT world. Among a variety of subjects, I'm studying web development (learning to love JavaScript), security solutions, and communication protocols. The protocols that rule over how a device transmits and receives data can be a critical component behind how the rest of its resources are managed. There are a quite a few IoT protocols out there to choose from.
MQTT - Multi-Client Publish/Subscribe Messaging MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transport) is my IoT protocol of choice right now. What really makes MQTT perfect for small embedded electronics is its lightweight packet structure - the entire protocol is documented on a single page. There's a really solid Arduino library to help implement MQTT – knolleary's pubsubclient. Using Arduino. To get your sensors up and running, you'll have to learn how to upload the Arduino embedded software [called sketches] to the microcontroller.
The team behind Arduino has already created a so-called IDE [Integrated Development Editor] that is really simple to use for sketch development and board uploads. But the easiest option is probably to use the Codebender browser plugin. Codebender Browser Plugin All examples presented here on MySensors can be downloaded directly to your attached Arduino without any extra software using the excellent codebender browser plugin.
The code compiles on cloud server with all libraries installed and ready to use. Some browsers might need some extra care to get the plugin working. But normally you just have to select Arduino Model and USB port in the drop down menu.

ACJC Celebrates the Class of 2014
The Class of 2014 celebrating their excellent results.
Celebrating our Values
As part of the unique and exceptional all-round education offered at Anglo-Chinese Junior College, we aim for our students to have a broad range of knowledge and skills, yet to couple this with depth - individually pursuing and developing what we call a distinguishing excellence, which makes them unique in their own distinctive ways.
Our students have indeed distinguished themselves. They have constantly surpassed themselves on the playing field, and in performance, in clubs and societies, in community service and academics. At the culmination of their time in the College we are proud of each and every one of them.
ACJC is delighted to announce that the Class of 2014 has achieved excellent results and set new benchmarks for their juniors! This is the 8th cohort taking the revised curriculum where all candidates offer at least 7 subjects comprising 3 H2 and 1 H1 content-based subjects of which at least one must be a contrasting subject, in addition to H1 General Paper (GP) or H2 Knowledge and Inquiry (KI), Project Work (PW) and Mother Tongue Language.
With regard to quality of performance, the Class of 2014 has performed extremely well surpassing previous cohorts in terms of distinctions obtained in H1, H2 and H3 subjects.
Champions of our Mission
The College's mission is to provide an all-round education of the highest standards, based on Christian principles, and a consciousness of self, others, and God. We are proud to be able to showcase students who, through their all-rounded achievements, are truly champions of our mission.
The first of these is Miriam Yeo Sze En from 2AH. Miriam is a true champion of ACJC's all-round education, with outstanding achievements in academics, performing arts and sports. In addition to her stellar A-level results, Miriam is a lover of choral music, and performed with the college's SYF Distinction choir throughout her two years including their annual Evening with Friends concerts. She also represented the College as a part of the Track and Field team, a new interest she pursued, competing as a 400m sprinter and relay runner for both the 4x100m and 4x400m relays at the National Schools 'A' Division Track and Field Championships 2014. Besides the heavy commitment of both CCAs, Miriam did not give up her love of dance, achieving a Distinction in her Grade 8 Ballet examinations in 2014. Miriam's passion for service and heart for those around her can be seen in her involvement in her church's worship team and volunteering for the YOUth Care @ PAYM to care for the children in community centres. In recognition of her exemplary character and acts of service, she was one of the 2014 Edusave Character Award recipients.
Another student who truly champions the College mission is Ip Chui Yee, Sabrina. Sabrina is an all-rounder, pursuing interests beyond her studies, in the areas of aesthetics and physical development. Sabrina was a dedicated member of the ACJC Guitar Ensemble (ACGE) where she was elected as a section leader and took part in the 2013 Singapore Youth Festival (Guitar Category), in which ACGE was awarded a Certificate of Distinction. Sabrina also performed in ACGE's annual concert, Glissando, in both 2013 and 2014. Additionally, Sabrina is a passionate exponent of Taekwondo. Having achieved a Black Belt in 2010, she represented ACJC in the 2013 National Inter-School Taekwondo 'A' Division Championships. Sabrina is also enthusiastic about serving the community. She was part of a four-person team under the Adopt-A-Rental-Block scheme where she was tasked to purchase basic necessities for a family. Sabrina also participated in a class-initiated Values-in-Action project to bring a group of children from the Infant Jesus Homes and Children's Centres to the Singapore Discovery Centre.
President of the 38th Students' Council and Valedictorian of the Class of 2014, Claire Lois Carter Rui En was at the helm of all the major College and Council events. She was the bridge between the senior administration and the student body, proposing ideas and discussing pertinent issues. Her term as President was marked by wholehearted dedication, humour, charisma, passion, humility, empathy and care. A Humanities Scholar, Claire is an assiduous learner and was among the top students in the Promotional Examinations 2013. She put her shoulder to the plough and pushed through some tough times in 2014, keeping her focus and faith in working through the skills and content she needed to cover. She was not afraid to ask questions and spoke with candour in her quest to clarify concepts in class. She has an extensive love for people and service and accepts people as they are, drawing out their strengths, synergising groups of people together for a common purpose, speaking the truth in love and inspiring others to be their better selves. She took the lead in her class's trip to Vietnam in December 2013 where she was instrumental in galvanising the class in a variety of Values-In-Action projects, bringing her usual brand of humour, resourcefulness, enterprise and the genuine love for people that she has consistently brought to all the activities and tasks she has undertaken in the college. For her service and dedication, she is also the recipient of the Edusave Character Award.
Another champion of the College mission is Benjamin Ong Ming Yi. Well-liked by his teachers and peers, Benjamin often lent a helping hand to his fellow schoolmates in both academic and personal matters. Benjamin never backed down from the opportunity to grow and fulfil his leadership potential taking up the role of Assistant Class Representative in 2013 and 2014 and serving as the Vice-Captain of Lee Seng Gee (LSG) House. Benjamin was the Vice-Captain of the Rugby Team and combined strength, agility and speed as a winger. He was an integral member of the team which took the Plate Championships in the Police Cup for the National Schools 'A' Division Rugby Championships in 2013 and 2014, and a 3rd placing in the Standard Chartered Bank's Under18 7-aside tournament in 2013. He was selected to join the Singapore Schools Under18 team to take part in the National Tertiary Rugby Tournament where they emerged as Champions. Benjamin was also a part of the College's Track Team which took home gold and silver medals for the 4x200m and 4x100m relays at the Singapore Press Holdings Schools Relay Championships. His passion for sports is matched by his commitment to serve the community. He was the Assistant Camp Commandant in his class-initiated camp for needy children called Camp Ulu Pandan, and went on an Overseas CIP trip to Khon Kaen, Thailand where he led his team in conducting interactive English lessons for children in a local school and helped to build a road in the nearby village. He responded to another call in his church to serve on a mission trip to Nanis in Batam, Indonesia in 2014, working with children and youths once more.
As Vice-President of the College's Media and Resource Crew, and also affectionately known as 'Mr MRC', Samuel Lai Chang En led his team in rendering technical assistance for all school events. From daily morning assemblies to large-scale events such as the ACJC Fun-O-Rama Carnival, Samuel demonstrated superb organization and people management skills throughout his term in office. Samuel was placed consistently among the top students for all major school examinations. He was the Top Science Student at the JC1 Promotional Examinations and took home the Bronze award at the 2013 Singapore Chemistry Olympiad. He also represented ACJC at the Straits Times Current Affairs Quiz and reached the semi-finals. He attributes his success in ACJC to the warm family atmosphere present in the college. As Samuel says, "ACJC offered me an environment where I felt safe to be myself…" The support from teachers and peers in ACJC has helped Samuel to attain his exceptional academic and CCA achievements.
Celebrating our Values
Our College values are integrity, tenacity and passion, and we celebrate our students who strive to live these values. In particular, we would like to highlight one of our Courage Awardees from 2014. Juniper Thang Wenbin of 2SC3 has done well at the A-levels after displaying strength and perseverance amidst adversity. In 2013, Juniper's father was diagnosed with cancer and passed away just before her term exams in March 2014. During this trying period, her time and energy were split between college activities, hospital visits and household chores. Despite the loss of her father, Juniper displayed tenacity, remaining diligent in her studies and cheerful when interacting with peers. She further exemplified integrity and passion as she did not shy away from her responsibilities as President of the Harp Ensemble, project leader of an overseas community involvement project, student, friend, and daughter. Juniper has consistently been a role model, and we are confident that she will be an inspiration to all students facing difficult circumstances in their lives.
The College would like to congratulate the Class of 2014, and deeply appreciates the efforts and prayers of the students, staff, parents and stakeholders, who have steadfastly stood the course.
Most of all, we give thanks to God, without whom none of this would have been possible.
To God Be the Glory! The Best Is Yet To Be!

I work with adults individually and as couples to find more pleasure and connection through sexuality and physical intimacy.
Only 5% of the sex humans have is to make babies. The other 95% is simply for the purpose of enjoying it. Enjoyment comes from the individual's physical pleasure and the emotional connection between partners.
Many of us have tremendous difficulty actually enjoying sex, due to physical challenges or emotional anxieties and confusing mixed feelings.
I work with:
Erectile functioning problems
Low desire and arousal
Mismatched desire between partners
Pain and aversion
Guilt, shame, body image concerns regarding sexuality
Difficulty integrating physical intimacy into your life and relationship
The goal of sex therapy is to help you enjoy your own body and to enjoy intimate connection with your partner. Often, sex therapy and couples counseling are integrated and we may meet individually or as a couple depending on your needs.
Please note, I work primarily with individuals and couples interested in monogamy. If you are looking for support for an open or polyamorous relationship, I recommend being in touch with these colleagues who are more specialized in that area:

text: Liberal Resistance > Blog > Blog > David Hogg Victim of Swatting "Prank" David Hogg Victim of Swatting "Prank" By libresist | June 7, 2018 The Guardian is reporting that David Hogg, the Parkland school shooting survivor who has become a well-known gun control advocate, was "swatted" on Tuesday, 5 June. Swatting is a so-called prank in which someone calls the police and reports that there is a violent incident underway at the home, school, or workplace of the victim. It is not harmless, and can have lethal effects. It has led to accidental shootings of innocent people. Fortunately, according to newsreports, Hogg and his family were in Washington DC during the incident. As yet, no one knows who placed the swatting call, but the general betting is that the prankster was not a fan of gun control. As such, the incident is more than a simple practical joke. It was, rather, a deliberate attempt to bring armed police to a suburban home in a way that might result in Hogg or a member of his family being injured or killed. Or, to put it all another way, it looks very much as though someone wished to use the police as a remote controlled weapon in an attempted murder.
