As I participate in workshops to support schools to improve student outcomes academically, behaviorally or socially and visit schools actively studying the change and improvement process in order to impact student growth, I realize that all organizations have room to grow and learn. Effective schools are known for using a process of continuous improvement.
Continuous improvement is a process supporting educators in implementing and studying small changes with the goal of making lasting improvement. This small test of change helps educators address a specific problem by testing potential solutions through a short cycle. These iterative, short cycles allow teams to better develop, revise and fine-tune a tool, process or initiative such as an assessment rubric, evidence-based instructional strategy, induction program, or collaboration strategy that might lead to the desired change and potentially transform their work in small and large ways.
The Plan-DO Study-Act (PDSA) cycle is shorthand for testing a change – by developing a plan to test the change (Plan), carry out the test (Do), observe and learn from the consequences (Study), and determining what modifications should be made to the test (Act or Adjust).
I visited with members of the NWESD School Improvement Team (SIT189) about change efforts that promote sustainable change. When writing school improvement plans it is important to keep in mind that effective implementation of a new tool or initiative takes time, and study. If we set goals that project sweeping changes in short amounts of time, it is far less likely to lead to our desired results. The Office of System and School Support (OSSS) suggests timelines for school improvement plans to, encourage and support small tests of change that have been modified and readied to "scale up" for the 2019-2020 school improvement plans.

Over the past few of years, Target has been producing some really fun new home decor collections that have made decorating affordably super easy. For example Opalhouse, the colorful, globally inspired line, made us want to grab five jewel-toned rugs and block printed everything. Or how about Project 62, with its mid-century modern inspired, minimalist vibe and the prettiest palette of muted pinks, metallics, and wood? And we love the modern farmhouse appeal of Chip and Joanna Gaines' collection, Hearth and Home with Magnolia.

Supervision Considerations for International Markets
LEVEL: Advanced
Continuing Education Eligibility (Included):
(BACB®) - 3 Type II or Supervision
(QABA®) - 3 General or Supervision
In the 3rd webinar of our Best Practices in Supervision Series, we will provide an unvarnished look at the challenges of providing behavior analytic supervision in International markets.
This webinar, entitled, Supervision Considerations for International Markets will review how the current condition – critical shortage of International BCBAs – is affecting the availability and quality of supervision being provided to BCBA candidates, BCaBAs and RBTs outside the U.S. We will provide a brief review of Section 5.0 of the BACB Ethics Code and examine required modification to the code, reasons behind the modifications, and short-term and long-term implications to the field.
Is it well known that in International markets ethics-related issues are rampant. Severe lack of resources and limited understanding of ABA pose significantly greater challenges than in the U.S., the most severe of those being financially-driven predatory behavior. With our panelists, we will review real ethical scenarios submitted by International BCBAs and engage in a dialogue about the impact on the quality of care given current market conditions. We will close by discussing realities faced by International BCBAs and the frequent need to choose between providing direct services versus providing supervision for the next generation of BCBAs.

Entebbe: Israeli rescue from Israeli terrorist attack
( http://xymphora.blogspot.com/ permanent link ) A newly released file from the UK contains the claim that the terrorist hijacking which led to the dramatic rescue by Israeli commandos at Entebbe was itself a Zionist false flag operation involving the Israeli Secret Service, the Shin Bet, and a Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine double agent, working for Israel, named Wadi` Haddad. The file contains the following: "The operation was designed to torpedo the PLO's standing in France and to prevent what they see as a growing rapprochement between the PLO and the Americans." Thirty-some odd years later, we still fall for the same old tricks (see also here).

Upcoming Games of 2019 – What to Expect?
Hey, 2019 is not so far away. Actually, it's coming pretty fast, so maybe we should start to think about all the great PC games we're most psyched to try next year. This list is not final, and we will keep you updated with every huge announcement from the games industry. Let's start?
Mount & Blade 2: Bannerlord
- Release date: TBA
- Developer: TaleWorlds Entertainment
Forever isn't enough sometimes. But we keep telling ourselves that Mount & Blade 2 is worth the wait. Because if it wasn't published in 2017, it would be published in 2018, right? Okay, If not 2018, then we have to wait till 2019, right? Right?! Mount & Blade is a brilliant and outstanding sandbox RPG, so the sequel must be even better. So we're waiting and making funny memes about one of the most anticipated RPG titles for a decade.
Don't forget to check out our article Most expected RPG games of 2018.
- Release date: 2019
- Developer: Remedy
Control is Remedy's brainchild who wants to mix the gunplay of their not-so-successful Quantum Break, and an open-ended quest. There will be a labyrinth. And it's not just a regular labyrinth, it's the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Control! Huh, sounds awesome and safe, yeah? The game's hero is the new FBC boss, and he must destroy corruption within the bureau.
- Releases: February 22, 2019
- Developer: BioWare
Welcome to a brave new world of warriors trying to protect humanity, and help themselves with collecting some needed stuff from loots. Made for multiplayer-mode, Anthem guarantees a terrific journey with rockets, giant monsters, and never-ending storms. There were some naysayers, because, well, the developer is BioWare, but the E3 presentation convinced us the game is good.
Atomic Heart
- Release date: 2019
- Developer: Mundfish
Mundfish is a company of game developers that seemingly came from nowhere. Nobody had heard about them. Nevertheless, they are ready to provide us and the overall gaming community with an outstanding open-world shooter. We can guarantee the Atomic Heart trailer will leave you speechless, especially if you like Metro and Fallout. So, you find yourself in the Soviet Union, and of course you will feel some Half Life 2 vibes. Can't wait!
If you are interested in horror games, check out our List of the best crippiest games.
The Division 2
- Release date: March 15, 2019
- Developer: Ubisoft
Ubisoft is preparing The Division 2. The game is made for multiplayer mode shooting in the Washington DC streets. The newer the better, so when you raid you'll get eight co-players instead of four, and also Ubisoft wants you to get a free DLC every three months. Well, it's OK. It's fine.
Doom Eternal
- Release date: TBA
- Developer: id Software
Hooray! Doom is making a comeback, with a hero flying back from a Mars chill vacation to stop the new end of the world. Hell is here, on our Mother Planet Earth! Every skyscraper in New York, Los Angeles or Chicago is in danger, and all because of huge monsters. Hugo Martin, game director, guarantees there will be twice as many monsters to rip and kill. So we are patiently waiting.
The last gameplay video for Doom Eternal was presented at QuakeCon 2018.

A Southern New Hampshire University replaced a professor who was at first unaware that Australia is, in fact, a country as well as, depending who you ask, a continent. Challenge your assumptions and constantly update your wrong views, and, with appropriate humility, you will go far.
An online adjunct professor incorrectly told a student that Australia isn't a country and gave her a failing grade, prompting Southern New Hampshire University to replace the instructor.
Buzzfeed News reports that the 27-year-old student in Idaho was assigned to compare American social norms to that of another country. She chose to study social media use in Australia, but the professor gave her a zero on that portion of the assignment, saying Australia is a continent, not a country.
Australia is actually both — a country and a continent.
University officials tell WMUR-TV the instructor has been replaced following an investigation. In a statement, the university said it deeply regrets the interaction between the professor and student, and wished athletes from Australia good luck in the Olympic games.
The Exchange About Australia
[UPDATE 2/9/2018 12:47pm PT: The professor has been fired.]
Ashley Arnold is pursuing an online sociology degree at Southern New Hampshire University. For one of her classes (which cost $1000) she was assigned to write a paper comparing a social norm in the US and another country. Arnold chose Australia. She wrote the paper and turned it in. Her professor (who has a PhD in philosophy) gave her an F. Reason:
"Australia is a continent; not a country."
Arnold emailed the professor, supplying references attesting to the fact that Australia is indeed a country. The professor sent her a scolding reply:
"I will gladly re-examine your week 2 milestone project report. But before I do I want you to understand that any error in a project can invalidate the entire research project. Research is like dominoes, if you accidentally knock over one piece the entire set will also fall.
Australia is a continent; it is not a country. That error made it nearly impossible for you to accurately complete your week 2 research outline correctly.
As I mentioned above I will look over your week two paper once again and see if you earned more credits than I gave you."
Arnold followed up with another email, this time including a link to "About Australia" on the Australian government's official website:
"Australia is both a country and a continent. It's the only country that is both. I provided a resource in the first email that clarifies that for you. If you need further clarification google or the SNHU Shapiro Library has that information you.
Again I mean no disrespect but my grade is affected by your assumption that Australia is not a country when it in fact is.
Thank you and let me know if I need to provide further resources proving Australia is a country"
The professor:
"Thank you for this web-address
After I do some independent research on the continent/country issue I will review your paper.
Without apology, the professor changed Arnold's grade to a B+, but warned Arnold that when she turned her final assignment to ""Please make sure the date, the facts, and the information you provide in your report is about Australia the country and not Australia the continent."
The professor might not be sorry, but Southern New Hampshire University is:
"We deeply regret the interaction between our professor & our student. We have apologized to Ashley, replaced the instructor, & are reimbursing her tuition for the course. To our friends in Australia, we know that you are a country & a continent, best of luck in the Olympic games!"
SNHU (@SNHU) February 9, 201
Does everyone agree that Australia is a continent?
A site called enchantedlearning, at least according to one of their tables, does not consider Australia to be a continent by itself.
Australia, the continent, is part of Oceania, which is not itself a continent.
The most commonly accepted definition is that Australia (the continent) is comprised of Australia (the country), plus New Zealand, New Guinea and Seram (an island in Indonesia).
Why is Australia so Old?
Oddly, the rocks on the surface of Australia are older that the rocks on the surface of all other continents (as far as we know).
Australia is known as the oldest continent.
This is partly because, although Australia was formed at the same time as other continents, the rocks that make up its landscape are far older than the rocks that make up
the landscape of other continents.
Via Countrydigest
Our planet's oldest rock is from Australia:
… scientists just took one of geology's biggest controversies and shrunk it down to atomic size. By zapping single atoms of lead in a tiny zircon crystal from Australia, researchers have confirmed the crystal is the oldest rock fragment ever found on Earth — 4.375 billion years old, plus or minus 6 million years.
My assumption is that Australia was not experiencing the same pressures as the other continents so the land did not get churned as much.
How is a Continent Defined?
Back to the original question, what is the accepted definition of a continent?
Continent. (kŏn'tə-nənt) One of the seven great landmasses of the Earth. The continents are Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America.
Wikipedia's current view is that, depending upon convention, there are between four and seven continents, but Australia is always one of them.
Australia, sometimes known in technical contexts by the names Sahul, Australinea or Meganesia, to distinguish it from the Australian mainland, is a continent comprising mainland Australia, Tasmania, New Guinea, New Britain, and small neighbouring islands (such as Misool and Waigeo, just to the northeast of Maluku Islands at the edge of its continental shelf). Situated in the geographical region of Oceania, it is the smallest of the seven traditional continents in the English conception. —
Animated, colour-coded map showing the various continents and regions. Depending on the convention and model, some continents may be consolidated or subdivided: for example, Eurasia is most often subdivided into Asia and Europe (red shades), while North and South America are sometimes recognised as one American continent (green shades).

Update: The YI Camera now works with Amazon Alexa.
Now we've all got our budgets. Some of us only have so much money we are willing to spend on home security, right? That's why the YI Camera caught my eye. Not everybody can afford to arm their house like the Louvre protects the Mona Lisa…and maybe you don't want to. Maybe you just want a reasonably priced camera that can keep an eye on your home or alert you when your baby is crying.
I love the DIY security industry because there are so many affordable options. Take the YI (pronounced "ee") Home Camera for example. It's one of the most affordable cameras on the market and the average price for it is only about $50. I've got to be honest though: When the camera arrived at my doorstep, I had a real "this is too good to be true" moment. It's hard for me to imagine that a camera could be any good at a price so low, you know? But I'm always down to be pleasantly surprised and I'm willing to give anything a shot. Let's get started with the YI camera review!
The YI 1080p Camera boasts 1080p HD video, two-way audio, and even baby cry detection.
The Specs
On the box, the YI looks like your standard home security camera.
It has:
- 1080p HD video for clear viewing.
- 4 x digital zoom to lock in on objects of interest.
- Wide angle lens (at 112 degrees) to capture as much of the room as possible.
- Lens distortion correction to avoid that "fishbowl" effect that sometimes occurs with wide-angle cameras.
- Night vision to catch all the things that happen in the dark.
- Two-way audio to communicate with people in other rooms.
- Motion detection to trigger recording specifically when there is motion in the area.
- Baby cry detection for parents with young children.
- Local and cloud storage to review footage.
Most of these features are what you can expect for most cameras on the market nowadays, so I wasn't initially wowed by the product. I mean why should I, considering the amount of money I spent?
But I knew the only way I'd know if this camera is actually any good is by giving the YI a spin.
It was time to unbox!
Related: Best Security Camera For Home
When I pulled the YI out of the box for the first time, I was shocked by how thin it was. The camera lens itself is only about 32-millimeters wide and its white base is much, much thinner. The camera is about 114-millimeters tall and after weighing it my hand, my guess is that it doesn't weigh more than four ounces. Even though the frame and the lens are made out of plastic, the camera is much heavier than it looks.
From a profile view, the YI appears very discreet — like it's the Internet of Things' best kept secret or something. The word "minimalist" and "trendy" keep coming to mind when I look at it and I can see how it could be easily hidden in a room with more of a white decor.
Personally, though, I'm not a huge fan of the design. It simply just isn't my taste. If you prefer another color, I found out that the YI actually comes in black as well.
The base is adjustable, which is cool. I can tilt it forwards and backwards if I want. If for whatever reason I need to detach the lens from the base, I can pop it right out, too. If I want to mount the YI onto the wall, I can twist the frame off and drill screws through the three holes on the base. That function isn't intuitive, though. I actually found this out by playing around with the camera a bit.
As for the power input, the YI comes with a micro USB power cord which connects to a standard USB wall plug. At the back of the camera I also found the small hole to insert a micro SD card for memory. Unfortunately, an SD card didn't come included so I'm going to have to go out and get one if I want to have any local storage.
The YI 1080p Camera boasts 1080p HD video, two-way audio, and even baby cry detection.
The setup for the YI was amazingly easy. It took me about five minutes tops to get my live stream up and running.
Basically, all I had to do was download the YI Home App, connect to Wi-Fi and point the camera at the QR code that showed up on the app. The app guided me through the entire process.
I'm happy to say that I didn't have any Wi-Fi connection issues this time. There have been many times when I've set up other security cameras and they had trouble syncing up with my mobile device due to my internet connection. Sometimes my Wi-Fi wasn't strong enough or I wasn't close to my router, which made for a very frustrating experience.
But with the YI, I had everything ready to go with no hiccups whatsoever.
Security Baron Necessary Features
Now that we've got everything set up, it's time to see if the YI Home Camera passes the Security Baron Necessary Features Test. Here at SB, we've created a set of standards that we think determines whether or not a camera holds up to industry (and consumer) expectations.
It's only fair that we give the YI the same treatment.
Video Quality
I have to give this camera top marks in the video clarity department. The moment I got the live stream up on my phone, everything appeared so crisp and sharp. It was amazing. Having that 1080p HD recording — which is an industry standard — is so clutch. In order for me to have peace of mind, I need to be able to see what's going on. If there is any blurriness in my footage, that's when I know the cam is not what I'm looking for. With the YI, I don't have the worry about that. I can also zoom the camera up to four times from my app. This is a great option to have if I want to look closer at something in the room.
Because of the lens distortion correction, there isn't any weird image bending in the footage, which can happen when you're using cameras with wide-angle lenses. The YI gives you a 112 degree viewing angle, which in my opinion is pretty underwhelming. Most cameras come with a 120 viewing angle or above to cover as much of the room as possible.
But I suppose I could buy more YI's if I wanted to cover any blind spots. It's so inexpensive, having an arsenal of YI's isn't a bad idea.
I'm pretty sure I could squeeze that into my budget.
Night Mode
The night mode is excellent as well. When I switched off the lights, I noticed that the video was just as clean.
Many cameras use LED illumination to activate their night modes, but the YI uses infrared (IR) lighting. I much prefer IR. Why? Because the video quality is much clearer and it doesn't blind you with such a bright light.
If you have LED illumination shining like it's the Second Coming, you better believe an intruder is going to notice and rethink their tactics. They might do whatever it takes to get the camera to stop recording their schemes.
In this case, it seems like the YI will do a great job at being discreet. You can be confident that it will catch those sneaky intruders without giving itself away.
Facial Recognition
The YI takes a major "L" in this category because there is absolutely no form of facial recognition with this camera.
Sure, there are motion and sound activated notification settings that let me know when someone is moving around the room. But I'll have no idea if that person is a stranger that I should be worried about, or if it's my friend coming in to feed my fish … Or in the more annoying case: It could just be my cat futzing around with a dustball she found on the floor.
In my opinion, it's important to have a camera that can distinguish between the people (and things) that are moving about your house. You don't want to get notified for unnecessary reasons.
To the YI's credit though, you can change the settings for your alerts and alter the sensitivity to your camera so your phone isn't blaring every time something moves or makes a sound. You can even designate the activity areas so that the camera will only send you notifications for areas that you care about.
I don't want a "ping" every time a bird flies by my window, you know?
Audio Quality
The audio is crystal clear with the YI, which is dope, and the two-way audio is a great way for me to communicate with others when I'm not in the house or simply just in another room. I just need my phone and Wi-Fi to connect to the app and I'm free to spook to crap out of anyone who enters my home.
The volume can get pretty loud, too, so I don't have to worry about others being able to hear me.
Depending on your needs, two-way audio can be just a fun way for you to order your kids around, scare an intruder or just talk to someone in another room.
Think walkie-talkie but better.
I set up the YI in a flash so I give it A+ marks in this department. The app was super easy to use and follow.
I'm always happy when I don't have to read a lengthy instruction manual — or keep them. Anyone have that drawer where you keep all of those mini instruction booklets for your gadgets just in case something happens?
Because you never know, right?
Well now that there are more and more products like the YI with apps that can guide me through everything, I think I can start putting those manuals in the recycling bin.
Save the trees!
Anyway, having a security camera that is convenient to set up means that I can rely on it to work quickly and keep working for as long as I need to use it.
After a recent update, YI does not offer any cloud storage for free, which is a shame. Plus, their prices for 7, 15, or 30 days of storage aren't particularly cheap. At least the camera offers a slot for a 32 GB micro-SD card! As cloud and local storage are available, I'm going to five the YI Indoor full marks for storage.
Smart Platform Integration
After a recent update, the YI camera now works with Alexa, allowing you to command your camera using your voice alone. Unfortunately, the only things you can do is ask Alexa to turn specific cameras on and off, so it is pretty limited. All in all, I'll give the YI camera half marks for it's smart platform integrations.
There's no question. For $50 you get a lot with the YI.
I mean you get 1080p HD, two-way audio and amazingly clear night vision. The YI might be missing some things, but if you're bargain shopping and don't need all the fancy features, I think this camera is a great buy.
Extra Perks
Cry Detection
To all the parents with newborns in the house: This is a great feature as far as I can tell.
I don't have a baby, but after testing my own cries (fake of course), I found out this camera can hear me up to about 16-feet away. Once the camera caught the sound of my sobs it sent me a six second clip of my sad, sad face.
Of course, because this camera is so good at picking up sounds, I imagine that it would be triggered by other things that you'd rather not be bothered by. Again, you can adjust the alert settings from you app and make your camera less sensitive to noise.
Mobile Application
As I said before: The app is excellent. I didn't find it buggy at all. In iTunes the YI Home App received nearly five stars, and in the Google Play store, it received the same high ratings.
Good job developers!
When I opened the app, I found it really easy to navigate. On the bottom row, you have the cameras, alerts, cloud storage and profile buttons. On the top, you have an image for the last footage that you recorded. Click on that image and you'll immediately go to the live stream. In the top right corner, you can tap on the plus button and add another camera if you want.
I thought it was all super simple, straightforward and easy to use.
What's Missing?
So I know for $50 I'm not getting everything with the YI. And that's okay if I'm fine with not having the capabilities that some of the other cameras have.
For example, the YI does not have:
- Geofencing. This would allow me to mark off certain areas that I would like to track. Anyone with a mobile device stepped foot in that area, I would get an alert telling me a certain person has entered the space. Could come in handy if I wanted to know who's moving about my home.
- Alarms or sirens. This could be useful if I wanted the neighbors to know that someone broke into my house.
- Privacy feature. There isn't a specific privacy feature with the YI but you can leave it on continuous recording or set it to record only when it gets triggered by sounds or motion. A privacy setting would just stop the recording completely when you have friends and family in the home. If I'm hanging out with my peeps, I don't necessarily need to pull all the security stops.
YI Home Camera vs. Other Cameras
So the YI isn't the only affordable camera on the market and each of these affordable cameras come with their pros and cons. For you to find the best bargain buy on the market, I think it would be smart for me to compare them and see if the YI is the best of the best (for $50).
It reminds me of Honeywell's Home C1 Indoor Camera, the Arlo and the Tend Secure Lynx.
Honeywell Home C1 Indoor Wi-Fi Security Camera
The Honeywell Home C1 Indoor Camera is slightly more expensive (around $60) and comes with advanced technology that the YI simply does not have.
Honeywell equipped their camera with geofencing and Alexa integration. Its field of view is also impressively wide with a 175 degree lens.
However, here is where the YI wins: It has much better storage options. Honeywell will only give you 24 hours of free cloud storage with local storage up to 8 GB. Remember, the YI offers 7 days of free cloud storage and up to 32GB on an SD card. Also the C1 records in 720 HD, which is not as clear and crisp as the YI's 1080HD.
Arlo Pro 2
This is the priciest option out of the three ($89.99) and I don't think it's that much better than the others if I'm being honest.
What's cool about the Arlo is that it's wireless, weather proof and comes with free seven-day cloud storage. It can pair up with Google Assistant, Apple HomeKit, IFTTT, Stringify, and Alexa.
But it's viewing angle is even worse than the YI at 110 degrees. Both the C1 and the YI have two-way audio. The Arlo does not.
Personally, I don't think this camera is the best buy unless you want a camera that can be placed outside. To learn more, read my full review of the Arlo Pro 2.
Tend Secure Lynx
The Lynx might only be about $10.00 more than the YI, but I think it's worth it.
It comes with all the perks that the YI has: 1080p HD, two-way audio and night vision. But it also comes equipped with the oh-so-coveted facial recognition feature. Plus the viewing angle for the Lynx is much wider at 120 degrees.
If I had to choose between the two cameras, I would definitely purchase the Lynx over the YI. No question about it.
(Check out my more in-depth review on the Tend Secure Lynx here.)
The Customer Experience
Regardless of how the YI stacks up against the competition, I had a pleasurable experience with the camera so far. But I was wondering how other customers felt about the product, too.
From my research it seems like people had these good things to say about the YI:
- Extremely easy set up. Like me, consumers said that everything went super smoothly.
- Great night vision. People noted that there was pretty clear footage, even when the infrared light was off.
- Compact and durable. Unlike me, customers seemed to like the design and if any pets knocked it over, they found the camera was just fine.
People seemed to be upset about these concerns:
- Privacy infringements. Many people complained that they had to sign new privacy terms that would allow YI to share and use footage recorded from their homes. If the consumer didn't sign the terms they couldn't access their cameras. This seems suspicious and odd indeed, but I didn't have this problem when I set things up.
- Not great to point out the window. Some people who wanted some outdoor footage found that the infrared light causes a glare when it was pointed out the window. The glare made it harder for people to see the footage.
- Connection and notification issues. Some complained that their camera would disconnect or that they had to keep resetting alert settings. This wasn't my experience, however.
The (Y)inventors
So maybe the YI Home Camera didn't get the most raving reviews (even though I think it's a pretty decent camera).
YI is actually not known for its home security devices. The Chinese-based company is most famous for their action and stereoscopic video cameras. Don't judge YI by their inexpensive home cameras. They've got some pretty heavy, high-tech artillery at their disposal.
For more options, read our review of the best home security cameras.
Bottom line: The YI is a pretty great camera considering the price. I was pretty surprised with how many quality features it came with:
- 1080p HD video
- Night vision
- Motion and sound alerts
- Two-way audio
- Alexa integration
For a camera valued at 50 bucks, I'm pretty set.
However, if you're someone who is looking for a camera that comes with more comprehensive technology, the YI is definitely not for you. Just be prepared to take a little more change out of your pocket.
Does the YI camera require a subscription?
The YI cameras don't require that you pay a subscription, but if you want cloud storage, you'll need to pay $9.99 a month, at the very least, for 15 days of cloud storage.
Are YI cameras wireless?
The YI 1080p HD indoor camera and the YI outdoor camera are not wireless.
How do I connect my YI home camera to WiFi?
To connect your YI camera to Wi-Fi, first download the YI Home app and make an account. Add your camera by clicking the + button and turn the camera on by plugging it in to the power adapter and cable. Next, select Connect to Wi-Fi and enter your password. Scan the camera's QR code and click save.

Pilates is universally known for its ability to increase core strength, and giving you flat and toned "Pilates Abs". But do you know why?
Well, firstly let's get one thing clear.
Core strength is not the same as abdominal strength! This is a big misconception that many people have.
The definition of core strength is:
"The balanced development of all the muscles of the torso, including the very deep postural muscles. All these muscles need to work in harmony and with just the right balance of strength and length and include the abdominal, back, hip and shoulder muscles."
So as you can see, core strength is pretty complex and abdominal strength is just one part of it.
The reason that Pilates "flattens your abs" is that it develops core strength from the inside out, or from the deepest muscles(postural) to the more superficial(that sometimes get called mirror muscles).
The deepest abdominal muscle has a funny name but is critical to core strength and also to having flat abs. It's called Transversus Abdominus and it is the corset or belt of the torso.
When this muscle is weak, your lower belly will bulge out and sag…yikes! You will also lose the support that this muscle provides for the lower back. In fact, if you have lower back pain, chances are that this muscle needs some strengthening.
Just like a corset, when you have a strong Transversus Abdominus, it pulls your belly in and flattens it out.
Now let's clear up another misconception. Doing traditional sit ups alone, won't train Transversus Abdominus. In fact, we see many very fit men and women who do loads of abdominal exercises, yet are still weak in this area with some experiencing ongoing lower back issues.
There are very specific exercises that you need to do to get this muscle strong and when you first start Pilates, this is what you will focus on the most.
Pilates is a very clever exercise method! It develops all of your muscles in the correct way, gives you great posture, mobility and FLAT ABS!

|Inside the magnificent Basilica - Paray-le-Monial
The other week we went to a concert in Charolles. We decided to visit Paray –le-Monial before the concert, a town we really do like. The Basilica can never be visited too many times, there is just so much to see. This time we bought a book called "Les Sculptures Cachées de la Basilique" which you can get at the tourist information office and we checked out all the hidden treasures in the building - there are some amazing carvings there. Sadly my camera's zoom is not good enough to capture them, so here's a photo of the inside of the Basilica just to give an idea of the majesty of the place.
|A tower - the only thing worth seeing in Charolles
The day's outing was really to see a concert of course and fortunately that was superb and well worth the whole trip. It was an Aretha Franklin homage concert – not my favourite type of concert as they tend to not be up to the original (how could they be?) and they are not innovative either, so they are usually the worst of both worlds, but this lady could sing and I mean SING and the band could play as well. I couldn't understand the names of the songs as she spoke them in her French announcements, but her articulation when singing was magnificent.
|Superb concert
|Claim to fame - my poster
Anyway it is my claim to fame and fortune, I even felt like signing the poster, but didn't dare of course – what a wimp!

Handbook of Research Methods in Migration
Edited by Carlos Vargas-Silva
Chapter 2: Migration Research between Positivistic Scientism and Relativism: A Critical Realist Way Out
Theodoros Iosifides
Theodoros Iosifides1 In this chapter, I discuss some crucial ontological and epistemological dimensions of migration research methodology that have significant repercussions on the ways migration research is designed, practised and utilised. As meta-theoretical (ontological and epistemological) dimensions are inevitably implicated and closely related with any methodological strategy in social research, including migration research, the main aim of this chapter is to highlight the consequences of positivist and relativist epistemologies for contemporary migration research methodology. Discussion starts with some central premises of contemporary scientistic positivism and relativism and continues with indicating their consequences for contemporary migration research methodology. The way out from the Scylla of scientism and the Charybdis of relativism is offered in Section 2.3 and entails the adoption of a critical realist meta-theoretical approach. This approach prioritises ontology over epistemology and can serve as a guide to substantive migration research, enhancing its explanatory power and potential. In Section 2.3, I briefly refer to some central features of the realist approach and discuss more extensively its advantages for migration research practice through concrete examples. Finally, the chapter is concluded with some brief remarks about the emancipatory and critical potential of a critical realist rationale in migration research. 2.1 WAVES OF IRREALISM, REDUCTIONISM AND ONTOLOGICAL FLATNESS: POSITIVISTIC SCIENTISM AND RELATIVISM In this section and before discussing the consequences of positivism/ scientism and various forms of contemporary relativism in migration research, I briefly refer to some of the most serious limitations of these rationales in general, notably irrealism, reductionism and ontological flatness....

Seoul purpose: South Korea's cultural metropolis
The roots and traditions of the South Korean capital run rich and deep, as does its welcome for strangers
I have just arrived in South Korea's capital and the scale of the city from the luxurious Park Hyatt is truly electrifying, banishing any jet lag with a powerful zap of wonder.
This megacity is officially called Seoul Special City and its greater reach, Seoul Capital Area. The former is said to have a population of about 10 million, with latter metropolitan region reckoned to be home to 25 million people, making it the second largest globally after Tokyo.
Banks of towering apartment blocks and business skyscrapers roll off in seismic waves, undulating as far as the eye can see. Cutting through the middle, the mighty Han river or Hangang ribbons a broad swathe of dark, a momentary natural break in the thrilling urbanscape.
For many of us in the West, South Korea – more particularly Seoul – swept into our orbit in 1988 with the summer Olympics. It was something of a watershed for the country, an economic springboard and validation for its people. The Olympic Stadium is still a landmark, as is Seoul's World Cup Stadium from 2002, a competition we largely remember for the infamous Saipan incident. But I won't be going there: those civil war wounds are painfully deep.
More recently, the cultural tsunami that is K-Pop (that's Korean pop, daddy-o) flung Psy with his monstrously addictive Gangnam Style video into our mainstream. The Park Hyatt sits in Gangnam, which means "south of the river", and the upmarket, glossy style that the song celebrates and parodies is quickly evident.
Stay The Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt, see hyatt.com for details.
Get there Turkish Airlines fly to Seoul from Dublin through Istanbul, see turkishairlines.com.
DMZ tour to Panmunjeom with lunch is 75,000 won each, jsatour.com
Jeondeungsa Temple – stay overnight at the temple from 60,000 won each, jeondeungsa.org
For more details, see visitkorea.or.kr
The view from the immaculate hotel lobby is frankly breathtaking. Well, we are on the 24th floor, with the vast metropolis of Seoul spread out in all directions, framed through floor-to-ceiling glass walls.
This area is buzzing and the locals friendly and open – this is their default mode. I wander into COEX, the world's largest underground shopping mall, featuring every sort of leading brand along with lots of unfamiliar and intriguing retail. Plenty of restaurants, too, and I tuck into my first taste of jeongol, a delicious spicy broth you cook yourself at the table on gas burners, with thinly sliced meats, fresh vegetables and exotic funghi, and served with lots of sides, including the ever present spicy kimchi.
Flavours apart, straight away there is another distinction from Chinese or Japanese eating. The chopsticks are metal – often stainless steel, but also brass, aluminium or even silver – and narrower and shorter than we would be familiar with.
Next morning it is a very early start, no chore as I'm excited to visit the DMZ – the Demilitarised Zone – on the border with North Korea. It is formally the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, a name that's pure Orwellian doublethink.
The DMZ is a 2km buffer zone on each side of the partition line, controlled by Korea's two parts, along with the US and United Nations, and running right across the peninsula for about 250km. It is the rump of unresolved geopolitical aggression from the Cold War.
In short, Russian-Chinese-supported North Korea under Kim Il-sung (whose grandson is ruling the roost now) invaded the US-backed South in 1950. The bloody three-year Korean War that ensued eventually resolved into an equilibrium at the original partition line again, roughly along the 38th parallel – but here's the kicker, there was no truce or treaty. It is only an armistice: the war is simply on hold since 1953.
Trips to the DMZ are easily organised from Seoul, although it is all a bit surreal, like booking a day trip to a war waiting to happen and a tourist attraction rolled up in one. We're briefed on the strict dress and behaviour code. No sandals. No shorts. No gesturing to North Korean soldiers. No photographs except when told. It was hard to take seriously and yet, deadly serious on the part of our friendly guide.
The drive takes less than an hour. We soon see the hills in North Korea are stripped bare of vegetation and are told it has all been used as fuel because of desperate shortages. South Koreans believe that their "brothers and sisters" in the North are in dire straits, famine-stricken.
We lunch at Imjingak, where, despite a rather bizarre funfair, there is a touching memorial for the dispersed families whose relatives have been stranded out of reach in North Korea.
There is a plaintive power to the closed- off Unification Bridge here, where South Koreans tie ribbons and other personal mementos as a sort of shrine to a reunified nation.
Next stop is Panmunjeom, or the Joint Security Area, right on the divide. We transfer to military-controlled buses and our passports are checked by soldiers as we pass anti-tank traps on a narrow road that tiptoes between land mined fields.
Three blue huts straddle the border, looking for all the world like temporary classrooms of a primary school somewhere. This is where the North and South hold meetings under UN auspices. There is a perpetual staring match between very sharply uniformed and sunglassed South Korean military and their less dapper Northern counterparts across the way.
We shuffle into the middle hut, its conference table bisected by the Demarcation Line, with a door out into North Korea on the opposite end, the rabbit hole to a wonderland. I can literally put a foot in both camps and have a selfie-op with the impassive guard. It is fascinating and baffling in equal measure.
Seoul's roots lie in prehistoric times and it has had many masters. The longest unbroken stretch was under the Joseon dynasty, which ruled for 27 generations from 1392. Its heritage is seen in five magical grand palaces in the royal quarter.
The second oldest, Changdeokgung, is a World Heritage Site dating from 1405. A magnificent gateway with ornately painted beams and curving, fluid-tiled roof gives a taster for the treats beyond.
Changdeokgung is particularly beloved for its Secret Garden; I follow a guided walk winding round the 72-acre bucolic paradise, with its lotus ponds and exquisite pavilions. No wonder a young bride and groom join us in traditional wedding costumes to take their photos against the garden's delights.
A few days earlier I joined a popular weekend pilgrimage for Seoul inhabitants: trekking up Mount Namsan to climb N Seoul Tower. I cheat as time is our enemy and catch a ride up, zigzagging past throngs of family and friends in the latest gear to the soaring communications tower at the summit with its 360-degree observation deck.
Romance is in the air, too, as it is a regular date for young couples leaving tens of thousands of colourful padlocks clipped to the tower's fences to mark their commitment.
Seoul food (eh, sorry) is fabulous, whether it's scrumptious freshly-made mandu (dumplings) in Gwangjang market sitting next to a local eating still-wriggling octopus tentacles or the sublime presentation of Si Wha Dam, a leader among a new generation of restaurants, where I enjoy one of my most spectacular meals ever. Each course is literally a work of art and the flavours, sensational.
Chicken in the Kitchen, made famous by Britain's Hairy Bikers, is different again, a favourite venue for Seoul's hipster generation, with craft beers and baskets of unbelievably good beer-fried chicken to share. Eclectic boutiques and stalls fill the neighbourhood around it beneath the noisy chatter of mysterious neon signs.
Back at the hotel, which is hosting a sparkling party with a veritable who's who of Seoul's celebrity strata, it is the event's backdrop out the windows that leaves me spellbound. At night, the city expresses a different persona, that of sci-fi megalopolis, as if Ridley Scott is in charge of urban planning and Blade Runner simply his visualisation tool. Huge TV screens beam out silently from the tops of skyscrapers, while the kilometre-wide Han is criss-crossed by 27 bridges, some with five or six lanes each way of blazing red and white streams.
En route to Incheon Airport on my way home, in contrast, I have the chance to visit the idyllic Jeondeoung-sa Temple, the oldest Korean Buddhist temple, founded back in 381. Monk Ildae is the model of soothing serenity as he pours tea and discusses all manner of practical and spiritual matters.
Temple stays can be arranged with overnights to immerse you in the meditative rituals here. I get to ring the heavy ceremonial brahma bell marking dusk as the light also comes down on my own time in Seoul, regrettably.
This is an astonishing dynamo of a city, one that is charged to its current starry economic heights and scale in a little over half a century – and it is spinning faster still. But its roots and traditions run rich and deep, as does its welcome for strangers. Seoul is indeed a very special city.

Soliton SecureBrowser is a remote access solution that establishes connections between a remote device and web servers inside an organisations' network. A secure gateway is used to separate the remote device from the network, secure the connection and provide all necessary connectivity. The internal web servers do not have to be Internet-facing, while at the same time offering full functionality. On the client-side, users use a dedicated SecureBrowser that is only used to connect to the internal web servers. Users get access based on permission rules or Active Directory group membership and do not need to remember any URL's.
The SecureBrowser contains a document reader allowing documents to be opened on the client without the risk of data leakage. The SecureBrowser will delete all browsing data after the user terminates the session. While securely working with company data, the user can still use another browser on the client to connect to Internet-resources. If required, SecureBrowser can provide strong user and device authentication and even connect a used identity to a device. SecureBrowser is available for Windows, Mac, Android and iOS
SecureBrowser supports a number of key features, including:
- Internet access with sandboxed browsing: when users shut down the browser, all browser data is deleted. Automatically erasing of cache is also possible after a pre-set period.
- No need for VPN: the SecureBrowser creates one access route to the internal applications and uses internal DNS servers. Users can still use their personal browser for private reasons.
- Usage log: the secure gateway logs all access attempts including details about which user, when and what resources are accessed by that user. It can integrate the logging with existing logging and monitoring systems.
- Central management console: provides IT full control on settings, users and usage. IT administrators can control the access to other applications, prevent copy/paste/download of files or allow the download of files in a dedicated secure environment.
- Built-in document viewer: on Windows, iOS and Android devices, Microsoft Office-documents, PDF files, images and a selection of other files are displayed in a secure area and automatically deleted after shutting down the browser.
- Comfortable browsing: including tab browsing for using multiple web pages, searching on the address bar, corporate common/ personal bookmark, copy/paste only possible inside the Secure Browser, full screen and gesture control (iOS/Android)
- Complementary to Mobile Device Management (MDM): companies using MDM solutions can push the SecureBrowser as the default mobile browser on devices for an extra layer of security
SecureFile enables the secure access, download and upload of files from a PC, mobile device or tablet to the internal file server via the secure browser. It does this by creating a web-based view on internal file repositories, like a Windows-server. SecureFile also enables a private file repository for each user. Integrating SecureFile does not require any changes to the internal servers, the access rights of the target server will be effective.

David Henry Owen
25004, Private, 1st Royal Welsh Fusiliers
Killed in action, 3 September 1916, aged 23
No known grave (Thièpval Memorial, Somme, France)
CWGC registered (no family details)
David Henry Owen was born in Llandudno on 30 October 1892. He was the son of David and Jane Owen who lived at "Garfield House", Madoc Street, Llandudno. David (senior) was a carter. The Census of Wales for 1901 records David (8) and three siblings: John (18), Robert (11) and Annie (7). That year David Owen was recorded as attending Lloyd Street Council School. When he left school is not stated in the register. The 1911 Census for Wales records the family living at the same address, David Henry Owen (18) being described as an errand boy for a gentlemen's outfitter and tailor.
David Henry Owen originally attested to join the Royal Welsh Fusiliers on 8 January 1915 but it was not until 5 March, having reattested, that he joined the 17th (Service) Battalion (2nd North Wales) which had formed at Llandudno on 2 February 1915. He gave his age as 22 and his occupation as a porter. His regimental number was 25004. The 17th RWF moved to Winchester in August 1915, but not with David Henry Owen on its strength because he had been posted at his own request to the 3rd (Reserve) Battalion at Litherland near Liverpool on 19 June 1915. His reason for this request is not stated in his service record. He embarked for France on 30 September 1915 and was posted to the 1st Battalion on 2 October 1915.
David Henry Owen was killed in action on 3 September 1916 aged 23 at Delville Wood during the Battle of the Somme. The Battalion war diary recorded that on that day, 25 were killed, 136 were wounded and 88 were missing. David Henry Owen has no known grave.

Anatomy of an "Intelligence Failure"
Should the United States' intelligence agencies be lambasted for failing to anticipate the emergence of the so-called Islamic State? Not really, says Phil Walter. We have to remember that the success of any intelligence organization is linked to the relationship it has and the direction it receives from its customers.

Over the last 5 months or so Facebook has set its sights on becoming more like us, more vocal about local!
It's no secret that we have been big believers in everything local ever since we started off our very first local Small Business Network Facebook page in Flintshire, North Wales some time ago. From supporting and promoting small businesses to sharing events and job listings, it's all been done on a local level, raising awareness in the local community.
Since then we've added many more local Small Business Network Facebook pages, and now we have the whole of Wales covered. We've started branching out into England and Scotland too, with plans to extend into Northern Ireland later this year. So what you'll read in this post, just emphasizes to us how important local is to Facebook and their community too.
Facebook Local App
In November of last year, they rebranded their "Facebook Events" app and renamed it "Facebook Local", it's described as an app that helps you discover places and things to do recommended by friends you know and trust. Keep up with what's happening locally – wherever you are – whether you're looking for something to do with friends this weekend or want to explore a new neighbourhood.
You can download the app from the Google Play Store or you can find it in the iTunes App Store.
The Facebook Local app automatically synchronises with your Facebook profile and when you open up the app, it will show you a small selection of shortcut icons and what is recommended for you in your current location (if you have your location settings switched on), based on pages liked, reviewed and places checked-in by your friends. It also states the current date and weather in that location.
At the top of the homepage, you will find icon shortcuts to:
- Restaurants, Cafes, Bars, Attractions – all open up a map with pinned events around you. You can filter these options down further by open now or visited by friends.
- Nearby – opens up a map with pinned events around you. You can filter these options down further, by relevance, by date, by time and by category.
- Friends – opens up to a list of Top Suggestions, below that are suggested events by date.
- Following – opens up to a list of events by your friends and pages you've liked.
- More – opens up a list of app categories and interests such as Art, Theatre, Religion, Gardening and many more.
Below the icon shortcuts you will see 3 tabs named:
- FOR YOU – opens up to a list of events on
- EVENTS – opens up to a "make a plan" page where you can select a day within the next 8 days to see what events are on around you for that particular day. If you scroll down further you'll see a selection of some of the events on around you during the next 8 days, and if you scroll down even further you will find events on from the following week and from later on in the month.
- GUIDES – opens up to a "Explore your interests" page that you can choose from a selection of interests, such as Arts & Culture, Causes and Fundraisers, Film and many more.
Right at the bottom of the page, you have a footer with 3 icons:
- Homepage – opens the homepage.
- Discover – opens up a map with pinned events around you. You can filter these options down further, by relevance, by date, by time and by category.
- Calendar – opens up to a calendar of events that you have expressed that you are interested in, or going.
Facebook local news
Then in January of this year, Facebook announced a change in the US to prioritize local news so people can see topics that have a direct impact on their community and discover what's happening in their local area.
Last week they announced that they are expanding that update to people in all countries, in all languages.
"Now, people around the world will see more news on Facebook from local sources covering their current city and other cities they may care about.With this update, we're helping local publishers who cover multiple, nearby cities reach audiences in those cities. We'll consider a publisher as local to multiple cities if the people in those cities are more likely than the people outside of those cities to read articles from the publisher's domain. By expanding the scope of what may be considered local to people, we're including other cities that people may care about and connecting people to local publishers from those cities".
We have already seen an improvement in the newsfeeds of our local small business network community pages, by seeing more updates from the pages that we have liked and we believe this is down to the recent update. This will be a huge boost to local small businesses, event creators, planners and co-ordinators who rely on support from their local communities to survive.
