2 Things Individuals Do Certainly Not Figure Out Relative To LASIK Eye SurgeryThe eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical evaluation includes the capability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be checked in a number of ways. The patient might be asked to determine illuminated letter or objects of varying sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
On the other hand, the assessment of the structural part of the eye may be made in a number of ways. Stress within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In specific illness, specifically in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can alert the physician and the client to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even prior to other signs present themselves.
One's reliance on sight is highlighted when one faces a possible or momentary permanent loss of this crucial sense. For this reason, when restorative steps are sought, certain types of vision correction such as contact lenses or eyeglasses are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgeries were established to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgery is another kind of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgical treatment, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are completely changed. This can be done using an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgical treatment is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea using a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting much better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
In the middle of the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgery, there are still disadvantages that people should understand. Probably, the main factor why this kind of eye surgery has actually ended up being well accepted is since most of its cases had been successful.
Nevertheless, in spite of its success, there are still some disadvantages. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most sensitive part of the eye
Due to the fact that LASIK eye surgery involves the operation of the retina, which is among the most sensitive portions of the eye, many people say that the operation can be really risky.
Simply puts, a easy mistake could almost trigger an person's life time blindness. It is crucial to consider numerous factors before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best corrective procedure one has to undergo.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgery may fix your vision however it does not always suggest that it can offer you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not necessarily imply they have ideal vision.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the method the majority of people view it
On the other hand, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. It must be well kept in mind that a client with an eye issue may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are primary and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can inform the doctor and the client to difficulties in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye pop over here surgery is another form of vision correction.

Stewardship Of Our Congregation - Forward Steps 2 Series
Contributed by Spencer Homan on Nov 19, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: This is the second week of our Stewardship Series 2009. It is based upon the classic Christian poem "Footprints in the Sand." We can step out boldly knowing the God will always walk beside us. This sermon uses the "one body" illustration to bring us to
12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-- and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. 14 Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15 If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18 But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24 while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25 so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26 If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it. 27 Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.
Step Forward 2 (Congregation) [The Sermon of the Stinky Foot]
It is perhaps destiny that during a sermon series based on a beach… we are reading a scripture text that talks about all the different parts of the body. I mean, there is no other place on earth that we are ever more exposed out in public. And there is one thing that is almost universally true… no matter how good you look… you hate thinking about what you look like at the beach.
Most of us would rather not think about our bodies and if we do think about them… we probably don't think very complementary things. It's too fat or too skinny, too short or too tall. Bumpy, lumpy or just plain ugly! Kind of like when I was growing up… I was so ugly… my parents would have to take me everywhere they went just so they wouldn't have to kiss me goodbye.
But our bodies… even if they are known to be beautiful… have parts that we are embarrassed of… parts we want to cover up… parts that we wish we could improve… parts we wish we could do without out. Just look at the statistics… last year alone… there were 12 million plastic surgery procedures. In a survey… 73% of women said they wanted plastic surgery. No matter how good we look, there is always something that could be better. It is a tension that exists in our personal lives… and oddly… it is the same kind of tension that Paul writes about in his letter to the Corinthians.
It is so tempting in a church family… to look around… at all the different people that make up the body of Christ… some people we will just naturally get along with… some people we will struggle to get along with… and we will wonder… "Lord, I understand why you made feet… but did you have to make them stink!" Lord, O Lord… wouldn't the church be better without the stinky feet. Now, stop looking around for the stinky foot… cause it's you. I'm just joking… we don't have any stinky feet… we're awesome! (scratch head and look away).
But it's amazing to me how Paul just jumps in so unabashedly… and talks about this issue. Lets peek back to verse 12:
12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body-- whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free-- and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.

This book belonged to my mother's parents. I vaguely remember looking through it and dismissing it as dull when I was a child. I find it much more interesting now. It is in terrible shape, both covers have fallen off the book and a number of pages are missing at the beginning and perhaps the end.
The copyright page, if there was one, is missing but an online search suggests that this book was published in 1903. I am going to take a wild guess and assume it belonged to my grandfather's mother, Jessie Mae Tyler Green Harris because she seems like someone who would have enjoyed the amusements and entertainment from the book.
The table of contents is broken into nine books:
- Book I: Home Amusements, Games for Children's Evening Parties and Easily Prepared Dainty Dishes for Miscellaneous Occasions
- Book II: Church Entertainments and Pleasant Stories for Stormy Sundays
- Book III: School Department
- Book IV: Outdoor Games
- Book V: Literary Societies — How to Organize and Conduct Them and Classified Quotations
- Book VI: A High Order of Miscellaneous Entertainments for Clubs, Parties, Socials
- Book VII: Fun for All
- Book VIII: Dainty Work for Deft Fingers, or Boys' and Girls' Workshop
- Book IX: The Art of Attainment and Department of Etiquette
While I do not plan on digitizing the entire book, I will post all of the "Full-Page Half-Tone Illustrations and their corresponding articles. There are also several other illustrations that I may post about. I will also post some of my favorite activities that do not have any illustrations.

The day that causes more fear and stress than spending Christmas with your in-laws is approaching. Valentine's Day, the 14th of February (or the 12th of June for Brazil) is a complicated time of year. Like many special calendar days there is so much expectation to have the best romantic day of your life. For people who are single it can be extremely stressful, and even people in relationships don't get it easy. The pressure of the day is built up over time with all those love hearts and over-sized teddy bears you see in the shops. Not to mention restaurants advertising their romantic dinners and jewelry stores pulling out all the stops for their love inspired sales.
I've never really done anything for Valentine's Day which either makes people think I am a cynic or unromantic. However my husband and I gave each other swimming goggles one Valentine's Day, so we're not completely cold-hearted. Although, I do distinctly remember someone telling me how 'practical' the gift was (practical was emphaisised with raised eyebrows and a sullen look of disdain). I'm not usually one to shower people with roses and chocolates, but I do believe that Valentine's Day is important. It can be so easy to forget to tell people how much you care about them. Not because you're mean, but simply because life is busy and sometimes you forget. And this isn't just for your romantic partner. This goes for everyone who is important in your life. Your friends, your family, the people who matter most can be easily taken for granted. So this V-Day, instead of thinking about all the things you don't have, think about the things you do. Send a short message to the people you love telling them exactly that; you love them and you appreciate them. And if you do want to get someone a gift, what is wrong with a good old book?
In the true spirit of Valentine's Day, I want to thank all of my followers, old and new, who have helped me along the journey of this blog. Thank you for your support, encouragement, participation, and kindness. The internet can feel like a big scary place, but I feel like I have found my warm cozy corner with Bound2Books and all of its followers.
What do you think about V-Day? Do you have any big bookish plans? As always, remember to share the reading love.

From their website: Donald F. McGrann started D.F. McGrann Company in 1974 as a one-man, home-based manufacturer's representative for Simplicity Pattern Company's Norfolk, New York mill and St. Raymond, a Canadian newsprint and groundwood specialty mill. From this modest start in Watertown, New York, today's McGrann Paper Corporation developed.
In 1978, Don invited his son Karl to join him, and the character of the company began to change from mill rep to that of a merchant firm.
The incorporation of D.F. McGrann Company in 1979 set the stage for growth, a move to larger quarters, and an expansion of services.
The incorporation of D.F. McGrann Company in 1979 set the stage for growth, a move to larger quarters, and an expansion of services.
The next year was a landmark year at McGrann. First, a move to the 5th floor of the old F.W. Woolworth Company building in downtown Watertown, then the hiring of Keith Castle and Barbara Cook to expand clientele. Thus began a period of rapid growth for D.F. McGrann, Inc. In 1981, the company moved to Stone Street, broadened mill sources and paper lines, and established new customers. When the old New York State D.O.T. building became available in 1985, Don and Karl decided to try warehousing rolls of paper.
In 1986, Don moved to Hilton Head, South Carolina, and passed leadership of McGrann Paper, and the title of President, on to Karl. Don retained the title of Chairman of the Board, and continues to provide sales support.
McGrann was referred by Martha Perez at Spicer Paper

FEATHER HOUSE is the musical home of Singer-Songwriter Pete Guy that brings his songwriting and musical collaborations all together under one roof.
The Pete Guy / FEATHER HOUSE track Sunken Ship (Held Beneath The Waves) was played on BBC 6 Music on the BBC Introducing Mixtape with Tom Robinson on 13/03/2017 who said of the track "…It has a lyric every bit as mysterious as it's title and it's one that I personally found deeply affecting." It received a second BBC 6 Music play on 01/04/2017 on The Tom Robinson Show.
On 14th September 2018 Pete Guy released the FEATHER HOUSE EP Beneath The Branches consisting of the songs 1. Swim (Deeper Down), 2. Beneath The Branches, 3. Light As A Feather… The three track EP was Produced by Nick Kozuch and recorded at Unit Studios in Letchworth Garden City – UK…
"Each song has it's own photograph / artwork and the one for the opening track – Swim (Deeper Down) – is of a necklace that I designed and had made a few years ago at a Festival that features a Humpback Whale surrounded by waves. It was hand crafted out of an old coin…
On these new recordings I was wanting to create a BIG sound and I'm really pleased with how the songs have turned out – they're somewhat of a departure from anything else I've released before… Track one – Swim (Deeper Down) – was lyrically inspired by one of my favourite films – Whale Rider – a story about a Maori Tribe in New Zealand faced with breaking free from tradition in order to move forward and survive…" – Pete Guy / FEATHER HOUSE
Mike Naylor from BBC Three Counties Radio said of the EP "…this is a departure for you and I really like the big sound – full of good melody, good playing and good production – excellent!"
Bringing a blend of Folk/Country/Pop, Pete sings songs driven by thoughtful lyricism, creating a warm intimate sound as though he was set up and playing in the comfort of your living room.
Pete's music has been released on the Folkstock Records label and he has appeared 'Live in Session' on the Sally Riceman, Mike Naylor and Nick Coffer shows on BBC Three Counties Radio.

We present a statistical study of the presence of galaxy warps in the Hubble deep fields. Among a complete sample of 45 edge-on galaxies above a diameter of 13, we find 5 galaxies to be certainly warped and 6 galaxies as good candidates. In addition, 4 galaxies reveal a characteristic U-warp. Compared to statistical studies of local warps, and taking into account the strong bias against observing the outer parts of galaxies at high redshift, these numbers point towards a very high frequency of warps at : almost all galaxy discs might be warped. Furthermore, the amplitude of warps are stronger than for local warps. This is easily interpreted in terms of higher galaxy interactions and matter accretion in the past. This result supports these two mechanisms as the best candidates for the origin of early warps. The mean observed axis ratio of our sample of edge-on galaxies is significantly larger in the high-z sample than is found for samples of local spiral galaxies. This might be due to disk thickening due to more frequent galaxy interactions.

Happy Birthday To Me?
January 19th, 2010 by scott under Uncategorized. No Comments.
Going off the recommendation of our tour guide from earlier a group of us headed out to a local restaurant for dinner. Somewhere between the thirty-two orders of naan the table took down and two personalized songs from a wandering Neil Diamond impersonator, someone at the table got the classic idea to tell the staff it was my birthday.
I loved the live acoustic rendition of "Happy Birthday" coupled with the version they blasted over the loudspeaker in the background, but my favorite part had to be my birthday cake. Blowing out what is essentially an industrial strength sparkler on a mud pie personalized with "Happy Birthday Slewis" was hilarious – Loved it!
Meeting with Tata Steel at the Bombay House
The trip is coming to a close. We met with Tata Steel at the Tata Group's Bombay House headquarters. We used their Halo Room to meet in small groups with the Chief Information Officer and Chief Strategy Officer for Tata Steel.
The CIO shared with us the familiar story of the pioneering spirit that fueled Tata's growth early in the 20th century when other Indian companies experienced stagnant growth due to governmental and economic limitations. We heard about JD Tata's dream to bring the steel industry within India's borders to help take his country to the next level. Here is a company in an industry that has not only experienced significant industry specific challenges in the last 20-30 years, but has also survived "British Raj" (Britain's colonial rule), socialism and the nationalization of the industry, and India's economic liberalization in the 90's only to emerge as a global leader in steel manufacturing (and now processing thanks to the Tata Ryerson buyout announced after our visit in Pune).
During our meeting something that really caught my attention was the importance placed on corporate social responsibility (CSR) across the Tata Group from the very beginning. Tata has established itself as the leader in CSR and really set the tone for how other companies operate in India. From all of our interactions with various leaders at Tata, I get the impression that Tata has always had one eye on profits and growth and another on improving the welfare of its employees and the nation of India. In the early 20th century it was Tata that helped pass some of India's first labor welfare laws and introduced maternity benefits for women in the late 40's. The Tata Group funded the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (1936); the Tata Memorial Centre for Cancer Research and Treatment (1941); the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (1945); and the National Centre for the Performing Arts, (1966) and those are just four examples from Mumbai!
It's clear that their motto, "Give back what you get," has been followed for far longer than the recent wave of CSR popularity.
The CSR discussion made the obvious transition to how you get people to buy into a particular corporate philosophy. How do you create a vision from the top down that drives the type of mindset that says profits are the goal, but so is being true to your company and your country?
For Tata it all starts at the top with an inspirational mindset, followed by people focus, communication focus and a culture that encourages the notion of failure to move forward. In 2007, Tata created a "vision architecture" that gave all employees the tools necessary to improve the financial bottom line of the company. The goal was to foster an environment and culture that created a sense of passion that would keep Tata viable and engage employees. In the first year alone they received over 7000 entries from employees with suggestions for improvements.
Finally, we learned about IT challenges at Tata Steel. The CIO talked about the transition from 700+ unlinked sales offices in 1990 to one of the most technologically savvy IT infrastructures in the world. Tata has evolved from custom-built mainframes twenty years ago to today's custom-made SAP and process mapping software solutions. The CIO brought it all together when he described the use of IT to enable the collection of feedback from employees complementing the "vision architecture" fostered throughout the company.

Yesudas also sang foreign languages like Russian, Arabic, Latin and English.
Ahimsa is one of the best international album in which he sings in Sanskrit, English and Latin.
In 2011, Yesudas completed 50 years in Film Industry as a playback singer.
My conclusion Yesudas is a complete Indian singer.
Yesudas Graeatest singer of India. He is the Celestial singer. Great Human being and singer
Dr. KJ Yesudas is beyond imagination and words...Perfection or the ultimate beauty of a particular song is reached when KJY renders it. There are many other south Indian singers who sings pretty well like Spb, KS Chitra, S Janaki(these are also great singers)...etc but KJY is beyond comparison...there are no equals to him.V 81 Comments
Uniqueness in the voice steals the show.. Versatile singer.. Listeners can feel the music..

He is number one indian singer and male singer I lv u your voice sir you awesome tale singer my faverote song nenjukkul peidhidum song your voic is most lovely and sweet rock versatile etcV 87 Comments
I would like to say he is No. 1 - Even today still his voice is so sweet and still is been picked to sing melodious songs most importantly...
He got more versatile voice than any one else in the field of male singers in South India and once in North India. I personally feel he is more greater than Gantasala Garu and Yesudas Garu because the way he sings the way he presents the song is just amazing. His vocal ability is more greater than any one.
Gantasala Garu and Yesudas Garu and rest of the singers can sing only in a particular way of style they can't change the pitch/vocal of the voice as per the song only the great Balu can sing. I'm sure Balu can sing the songs of Yesudas and Gantasala in a perfect way might not be in a similar voice but still he can present himself in a perfection way but none of the singes can sing like him.
He is unique to Film Industry just only one.
S.P. balu is the greatest playback singer india has produced. He can sing any kind of songs at any level for any aged actors. He has the greatest versatile voice.
He is a wonderful singerV 61 Comments
MELODY QUEEN S. Janaki for all time. Other singers can sing only in a particular way of style they can't change the pitch/vocal of the voice as per the song only the great S. Janaki can sing. I'm sure SJ can sing the songs of P. Susheela and K.S. chitra in a perfect way might not be in a similar voice but still she can present herself in a perfection way but none of the singes can sing like her. She treats other singers as her frineds (she used to tell K.S. chitra as her daughter) and respects others talents also. SJ rocks ever...
She sang with 5 different voices in a song like a 6 years child, 16 years girl, 40 years lady, 70 years lady and also a male old aged male voice. None of the male singers sang with Female voice. So she is greatest Playback Singer, never before and never after.
Am great fan after 96movie..janaki amma is the best of all singers.super voice sema feel in all the songs.. love you sooo much ammaV 158 Comments
I just love her voice. I get the remembrance of Swarnalatha's voice.
According to me, She is An amazing singer. I Wish that at least in the next generation she should be born as my sister. Sis! You Rocks every time.
I don't know how to express my love towards her voice. She is the best singer with a saccharine voice. He sang in almost 17 languages th perfect diction. I like all her malayalam songs but I don't know malayalam
Shreya ghoshal is intelligent but inhumanity girl
I am a big fan of shreya ghosal voiceV 80 Comments
K.S. chithra Crossing genres from classical to musical theatre to pop and beyond. "Chithra is undoubtedly THE greatest singer of all time. Her voice is so diverse! The ultimate Angel of Music!

He is the greatest ever playback singer born - versatile music director and playback singer, what ever he sang was just perfect. A voice which had good depth and good range extending to 3 octaves. Ruled a film industry for nearly 3 decades for his entire life without any competition due to his genius skills and melodious voice. Passed away in 1974 but still enjoys huge popularity. Many of his statutes have been installed in Andhra pradesh, No other cine singer enjoys such popularity after 37 years of his passing away.
Ghantasala at the top - no surprise. What a melodious voice and range he had, even melodious than the instruments, greatly versatile. Peerless singer, remembered even after nearly 4 decades of his passing away. Only singer who dominated a film industry until his death.
Ghantasala is a divine singer with the most majestic melodious voice. His songs continue to mesmerise millions even today.

After doing a Bargello course through Quilt University, I've only managed to do the very first (Spring) of the 4 quilts presented in the course and am now in the process of cutting out heaps of petite flower and leaf motifs to decorate the top and bottom border – the only 2 sides too short to cover a double bed. I am really not fond of machine appliqué or then satin stitching around a motif. What can be more boring than having to feed fabric through a machine watching the needle do the same thing over…. and over… and over again? Even blogging about it seemed much more exciting than actually getting on with the job!!
However……………. I do think this might end up looking really nice, that's now once I actually do get it finished.

The Dirt Forum for More Information
Minersville, PA (May 11) - Jeff Strunk of Bethel, PA piloted his Kenworth/Cummins W9 to the $2000, 25-lap feature win at Big Diamond Raceway on Friday night in NASCAR Weekly Racing Series Modified action. It was Strunk's first win at the track of the 2001 season and came as part of the card sponsored by Kreiser Fuel's Tremont Quick Stop Night. Dave Dissinger of Mohrsville, PA captured the $600 win in the NASCAR ShorTrack Sportsman 20-lap feature rain-delayed from April 20 in his Harmony Hill Assisted Living/Oak Hill Farms 88X. Dave then repeated that effort in the 20-lap feature as part of the regular program to raise his Big Diamond 2001 win total to three (3). Dave Miller of Pine Grove, PA drove his Heritage Ford-Kia/Wyler's Towing #1 to his first win of the year in the roadrunner 15-lap main event. Strunk took the lead in the 25-lap NASCAR WRS Modified main on lap 8 from Jimmy Hauer (Lebanon, PA) after starting 6th in the 28-car field. Craig Von Dohren (Barto, PA) finished second followed by Duane Howard (Oley, PA), Hauer, Keith Hoffman (Whitehall, PA), Bob Trapper (Scranton, PA), Terry Meitzler (Kutztown, PA), Ray Swinehart (Bechtelsville, PA), Jerry Higbie, Jr. (Slate Hill, NY), and Kyle Weiss (Hamburg, PA).

Some things should be done on weekends is moving furniture around, decorating for winter holidays and taking Instagram pictures of it all setting a proper filter to make things look even prettier. I was never too fond of traditional Christmas...partially for not knowing what traditional Christmas actually means. As a perestroika child I did not decorate Christmas trees or write letters to Santa Claus - I put up a New Year pine tree and hoped that Ded Moroz and Snegurochka will not show up this year that I don't have to suffer an embarrassment of singing a song to them in exchange for a gift, and a squirrel or a hare or at least a fox will leave a Barbie for me under the pine tree, so that in the early morning of the 1st of January I will righteously come to claim it...soon realizing that my dad drank a bit too much sweet Champagne and ate too much Olivier and Vinaigrette salad and forgot to put it there. Happy New Barbie to me! But so what's Christmas anyways? A night from 6th to the 7th of January when everyone goes to church and looks sad while the priest does rounds with Jesus icon covered with some golden brocade towel? Honestly, when you are nine years old there's nothing in the universe that can convince you that Christmas is fun. Yet my great grand mother used to say that you can do all kind of magic tricks on Christmas, predict your fortune with coffee and cards. You can also use magic to make your dear one fall in love with you, because all kinds of demons come out and rejoice their last minutes on Earth before midnight, when the Lord is born. Wow, it was almost like voodoo - and THAT was Christmas!
Then the Danish taught me what Christmas was - lights and toys, sweet hot wine and cookies. At the museum where was this strange mummy that I had nightmares about in the years to come...not that I've never seen a dead person before - there were great grand mothers, theirs brothers and sisters, aunts and cousins and a good mate that died buried under a pile of sand, but they all looked alright - they just looked like the dead people... the mummy though was brown and had an open mouth with nasty teeth sticking out. But at the very same museum, at the entrance hall stood a Christmas tree decorated with paper cones, paper garlands, little hearts in felt fabric and little men with a wooden bead for a head. Paper cones were filled with candy. Candy on a Christmas tree? Well, soon after my visit there was just a little bit less of it....but aaanywizzy....no one ever told the security, I guess.
I was so impressed with the Nordic Christmas - it made me happy, and that was the most important. Everything was light and pretty, and every window had a white and red glowing heart in it. Every street was spewed with lights and garlands and the air smelled of cookies and spice. That was the beginning of my neverending tender relationship with the north. I even tried to read those strange comic books about bears in Danish, and to eat the salmon paste from a tube that looked like toothpaste.
And now I decorate white twigs and drink Glögg. Soon we'll buy the Christmas tree and I'll decorate it with my white and red hearts and hide the gifts I'll bring back from London underneath it... and speaking of gifts - I've got my favourite birthday gift to decorate the chimney. I received the neon orange Hay folder from a friend, but just like everyone, I do not keep much paper inside - it sits atop the chimney as the only colourful Christmas decoration, like a setting sun, or a flower...or a potential multy segmented paper cone to be filled with candy, just like on those Danish Christmas trees.
Christmas smells good, looks good and feels cozy. Me likey.

澳大利亚莫纳什大学Prof. Heather Anderson特邀报告
题目:High-Dimensional Predictive Regression in the Presence of Cointegration
主讲人:Prof. Heather Anderson,澳大利亚莫纳什大学
We propose a Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) estimator of a predictive regression in which stock returns are conditioned on a large set of lagged covariates, some of which are highly persistent and potentially cointegrated. We establish the asymptotic properties of the proposed LASSO estimator and validate our theoretical findings using simulation studies. The application of this proposed LASSO approach to forecasting stock returns suggests that a cointegrating relationship among the persistent predictors leads to a significant improvement in the prediction of stock returns over various competing forecasting methods with respect to mean squared error.
Heather M. Anderson holds the Maureen Brunt Chair in Economics and Econometrics at Monash University in Melbourne Australia, and is an Elected Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia. She wrote her PhD thesis under the supervision of Clive Granger (who later received the Nobel Prize in economics) at the University of California in San Diego, and has held academic positions at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A and M University, the Australian National University and Monash University.

Her work has been published in theReview of Economics and Statistics, theJournal of Econometrics, theJournal of Applied Econometricsand theJournal of Business and Economic Statistics. She was coeditor ofEmpirical Economicsfrom 2006 until 2015 and is currently on the editorial board of several journals, including theJournal of Applied Econometrics.

题目: Global Temperatures and
Green House Gases – A Common Features Approach
主讲人:Prof. Farshid Vahid
主持人:范英 教授
Despite the difficulty in determining the exact nature of trend in global temperatures, we can establish that the trend in global temperatures and green house gases is common. We then estimate the long-run relationship between global temperatures and green house gases and provide theoretically justified measures of confidence in our estimates. We explore the direction of causation in this relationship and compare our results with the existing results in the literature. 主讲人简介: Farshid Vahid is a Professor of Econometrics at the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash University. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia. He has published in many areas including time series, macroeconomics, energy, development, learning and decision theory. He is currently associate editor of Macroeconomic Dynamics, Empirical Economics and Australian and New Zealand Journal of Statistics.

This is what I do. ART with KIDS and Paint on people's walls! What can be better than that?!
About Me
- Doe Grozs Art
- Harrison, New York, United States
- I love to create and decorate. We now have a store front that exhibits paintings, assemblages, photography, jewelry, pottery and other unique gift items. I'm a mural artist which also extends to painting on anything else. And the tile idea, I have to give credit to my friend Emelio, who I have painted many tiles for.... I also teach art to kids. Kids are good for your art. They free you up!
Sunday, August 04, 2013
And the painting speaks...
After the background I painted, John started it off while I was working at camp.
He began with a grid, then added a branch and faces, very much like his works on paper, but now with a brush.
Saturday was rich for painting and I saw the theme of "connection" developing. Branches moving into vines and hair, tangling and intertwining , morphing into a garden. Yes, The Garden of Eden.
Snakes, watchful eyes.. I look for symbolism.
Stepping back, an archer's bow revealed itself.. what was it aiming at?
An apple of course.. the apple of love. What it wants is to break it open.. who holds the apple?
(We both know who.)
Who is the shooter? Me.
I am aiming but looking away. I have the lotus growing from my head, my muddy thoughts, wishing for clarity, spirituality.. so I adorn myself with pearls, blue pearls, a personal significance.
Ananda, from the Blue Pearl, years ago, is responsible for my introduction to Abraham before he was so popular, bringing me deeper onto that spiritual path.
I wanted to bring things upward and moved there by painting some leaves.
Starting from the girl behind the tree who has a guilty look about her.. maybe she is Eve, hiding in the garden. She wants to transmute all those worried thoughts, shed that which no longer serves her.. she want to transform into a being of beauty and lightness. She has dreams of ascending, shedding her skin, leaving behind her cocoon, but she is too rooted..
She wants what we all want, to shed our skin, leave behind our cocoons and become that which we are intended to be.. Beings of Light.
John: "This piece is about the theology of hope. Some say love is the answer and I would have to say, attentiveness and awareness of others. It's about caring - how much we care for our brothers."
I ask the question, "How aware are we?"
Art brings awareness, insight, and with a collaboration like this, it opens up a dialogue for both of us into a deeper, meaningful relationship of our shared love.

text: For us Hoosiers, with every fall comes the knowledge that soon, and always too soon, the cold winter months will once again be bearing down upon us. Unfortunately, there are many who are not properly equipped to get through the winter months and we want to help.The fifth annual winter coat drive, sponsored by Images Jewelers and The Salvation Army is now underway. The Salvation Army will distribute them to those in need and this year's goal is 2,000 coats. Coats can be dropped off at Images Jewelers, 300 E. Bristol St., across from North Side Gym, now through Dec. 21. Coats should be clean and in good condition. Children's coats and adult plus sizes are especially needed.

Children's books are often didactic; teaching lessons in (hopefully) creative and entertaining ways. I can recall, just off the top of my head, books about using the potty, or Everyone Poops, and even recently I reviewed The Kissing Hand, in which a youngster learns it is okay to leave the nest. This teaching-lesson children's book, Is a Worry Worrying You?, by authors Ferida Wolff and Harriet May Savitz, with illustrations by Marie LeTourneau, takes on a challenge by anthropomorphizing a 'feeling.'
The book starts right out and asks the question, "What is a worry, anyway?"
The answer comes on the next pages with, "A worry is a thought that stops you from having fun, from feeling good, from being happy."
Excellent! That seems an appropriate, succinct definition for a children's book. In the next page it tells a little more … that you needn't bother looking for a worry, because it is invisible. And if the book built more on this premise I'd be much more, solidly behind the book, but this is where it takes off on a tangent, in my opinion.
First, let's recognize that while the book tells the children that a worry is invisible, we are clearly seeing a tangible, artists representation of a Worry. A dark, fearsome blue creature that looks as though it might have been an understudy for Where the Wild Things Are. If a worry is invisible, why are we seeing it?
The story goes on to identify different types of worry, which, when you think about it, is hard to do. How would you describe 'worry' to a child? I'm not sure that I could define worry, but I'm also not sure that the definitions within are 'worry' as much as they are 'fear.' If a monster moves in under your bed and you're afraid to go to bed at night…is that a worry, or is that fear? A friend gets hurt and comes to you for help and you don't know what to do. Is that worry, or is that a feeling of helplessness?
For a child who might be prone to anxiety/worry, it seems that this book might actually hurt, rather than be helpful. The drawings can be a bit dark, and the suggested 'worries' are equal parts humorous and fearsome (okay…it's absurd to think that a rhinoceros might be walking down the street toward me…but if it did … I'd be more than just worried)!
I like (mostly) the six pages near the end that offer suggestions on how to deal with a worry. Offering suggestions of other things to do to take the child's mind off the concern, or simply facing the situation or talking about it with someone. These seem like effective means of dealing with a child's worry. Though I wasn't too keen on seeing children nailing a board across a doorway in a house, sealing the not-so-invisible Worry in a separate room. But I very much like that the authors suggest that we face the worries (even though it also suggests to hide a worry away).
The art is appropriately children's-book-cartoonish, although a little on the dark side. I am also not sure why we have to see a 'Worry' as something tangible, and a bit frightening, at that.
It's an admirable challenge… to write a children's picture book about 'worry.' I don't know what other options are out there. I can imagine myself picking this up and reading it to my children, but perhaps only once, as I'm not convinced it would help.
Looking for a good book? If you are dealing with a child with anxiety or worry issues, this might help, but it's darkness (in story and art) may prove less than comforting.

I received this picture in an e-mail message, and I laughed at its brilliant simplicity.
Given this assignment, most of us would make things difficult. While scribbling an outline and plot chart, we would worry about rising action, climax and dénouement. We might even create character bubbles and scene sketches.
We should ask: What is the simplest way to do this?
Because sometimes the simple way is the most effective.

This April, the Government and Ofsted have once again attempted to forge better links between employment and education, calling for closer working relationships with business and possibly from the awakening realisation that not all students are going to achieve academic success or even stay on successfully in further education. They are asking schools to 'help every pupil develop high aspirations and consider a broad and ambitious range of careers. Inspiring every pupil through more real-life contacts with the world of work can help them understand where different choices can take them in the future.' But then, how can schools address this issue without sacrificing their curriculum? We already offer Work Experience to our Year 10 pupils but is this simply paying lip service to such a policy by sending them off into the workplace, often not of their choosing, for just one week? Many schools, including my own, invite guest speakers in to talk to whole year groups, but is this really enough to inspire our young wards?
Well, for many years at my school we have embraced working with industry, but then we have been in the fortunate position of having a Work Related Learning Coordinator (WRLC) who has tirelessly worked with teachers and employers to bring both closer together in a mutually beneficial way. While the inspiration behind the current moves were published in September, since then the very same MP, Matthew Hancock, has visited our inner-city school and was himself inspired by what he saw, and by what any school can offer not because of some Government mandate but because, when done properly and pupil-centrically, it can truly inspire pupils to think about their future and even about their plans beyond GCSE and A Levels.
When I first started here eleven years ago, we did not offer A Level Media Studies (a subject Michael Gove is now planning on scrapping from the GCSE curriculum and thereby missing the point of offering a GCSE that is both popular and work-related) but thanks to student pressure it has been an integral part of our A Level provision for the past 6 years or so. Without this A Level, the pupils I teach would not have even considered a career within media; something we excel in producing in this country and an arena that truly offers a diverse range of career opportunities in any number of fields related to this creative industry, and another reason why Gove might think twice about extracting it in his drive to return to his Golden Age of Education that exists in his mind and only his mind. In those few years, and thanks in no small part of our WRLC, Richard Riley, we have worked in partnership with Birmingham Airport, Aston Villa and now my Year 12 students are about to embark on a project with Warwickshire Cricket Club to help re-design and re-launch their Community webpage for fans. These were, and are, all real-life working briefs that any number of design studios may encounter. For Birmingham Airport, and with my very first untested set of Media Studies students, we re-designed their in-house magazine, which has a circulation of 300,000+ per issue. It wasn't simply a design brief but took on the whole issue of re-branding a tired newspaper style publication into one that would be both more visually appealing and also reach out to communities it had failed to attract before. Issues of language as well as layout were tackled before launching successfully to the public. Following the success of this project we worked with Aston Villa in re-packaging their fan page. Again, with solutions professionally presented to Villa's board (itself a work related learning experience) they were able to dramatically re-imagine their whole Young Villans (sic) Junior supporters scheme. Every time I see their mascot, Hercules the Lion and his extended family, I cannot help but feel proud of our pupils' accomplishments. And this is coming from a Liverpool fan. This last year alone, we worked with a local independent filmmaker, Sam Lockyer, to create our own promotion video for the school, which helped gain one of our students a place on a Media Studies course next year at Birmingham City University. Here is someone whose experience of Media Studies and work related learning will now see him study towards gaining employment into a sphere of work he would never have otherwise considered.
But then, you do not have to offer Media Studies at any level to offer inspirational work related learning opportunities. I am, of course, speaking from my own experience but there are other ways to offer students real-world opportunities and develop their talents in areas they may not realise they had talents in. Our Business Studies students have recently won The Young Enterprise Challenge for Best Company, beating 2000 schools in the process, designing and producing nifty little battery powered phone chargers and presenting to the likes of Denish Dhamija, the founder of Ebookers.com. The trick is to start small at first and build up your links one at a time if necessary. You don't need to work with a Premier League club but you can approach smaller businesses. In my dealings with industry, they want to be involved and those businesses that don't are missing out.
Whenever a pupil writes a formal letter in an English lesson, that's work related learning. Screen-printing in Art? Yup, that too is work related learning. If you did an audit, department-by-department, you would be surprised how much of our curriculum is work related learning. How can it not be? When we are given the space and time to think (a difficulty in an educational system designed to always be chasing the next set of results) it is amazing what you can achieve for your students. It can also give them something to be proud of, a lasting legacy that they have had a hand in creating. Education needs to think more about what it can offer all their students, but it should be on our terms because if anyone knows their pupils best, it's their teachers. And I have not met many that do not, every single day, try to inspire their pupils.
