11 Toddler Sleep Problems That Aren't Big Deal — Just Part Of Their Development
Convincing your toddler to get a sound night's sleep takes so much effort and patience. It's often a battle where the child end sup winning as the parent gazes down in defeat. In times like these, it's helpful to know about the toddler sleep problems that aren't really a big deal. Sometimes your kid's desire to fight sleep is simply part of growing up.
To a large extent, sleep is a learned behavior. It takes time and practice to learn how to self-soothe yourself into a slumber, fall back asleep after waking in the night, and realize that you are not being attacked by a chainsaw-wielding man in a mask. Heck, I'm a grown-ass woman and I still struggle with the most basic sleep concepts. It happens.
Getting enough shut-eye is crucial for all people, though, especially young children. In fact, toddlers require about 11 to 14 hours of sleep per day, according to the National Sleep Foundation. Despite their need for so much rest, toddlers sure can spent a lot of time fighting sleep. Maybe they struggle with the fear of missing out on fun stuff when they're unconscious? Whatever the case, most kids this age can delay bedtime for hours, and then do some weird stuff when they finally do sleep. Although it can be annoying (and sometimes hilarious), many sleep issues are perfectly normal for this age group.
1. They Prefer Your Bed
To be fair, almost anyone would prefer a giant adult bed to a tiny toddler setup. As much as you want the space to yourself, it doesn't hurt to share with your little one every so often. Many parents share a bed with their child well into the toddler years, according to the website for Parents, with no apparent ill effects. It's up to you to decide whether the family bed will be the norm for a bit longer.
2. They Need A Snack
Plenty of toddlers continue to wake up at night expecting food, according to the Seattle Children's Hospital. This makes sense, considering a toddler is not that far removed from the nightly feedings of babyhood.
3. They Experience Nightmares
Your kid's imagination is growing, sometimes with spooky results. Many toddlers experience nightmares, and they're largely unpreventable, according to Kids Health. It might take your little one some time to understand the difference between dreams and reality.
4. They Wake Up Several Times
Sometimes toddlers spring out of bed as soon as you tuck them in, then repeat this process several times. It's pretty common toddler behavior, and there's no single method that will make your toddler stay in bed all night, according to ChildrensMD. Even something as simple as falling back asleep at night is a learning process.
5. They Twitch While Sleeping
Does your kid shake and move while sleeping? They aren't possessed. Toddlers often twitch and jerk when falling asleep, according to Babble. As long as the movements are minor, this twitching generally isn't a cause for concern.
6. They Stall For Bedtime
How many extra glasses of water can one kid need? Toddlers will find any excuse in the book to stay up a few minutes longer. Sure, you're being played, but it's kind of adorable and pretty normal.
7. They Wake Before The Dawn
If you thought getting the kid to bed was rough, try making them stay there through the morning. Sometimes toddlers wake up super early due to the lighter phases of sleep, according to Baby Sleep Site. You're probably waking up in the predawn hours too, but you know how to glance at the clock and pass out again. Your kid, however, may take a little time to learn that lesson.
8. They're Super Wired
You say "bedtime" but your kid hears "get set, go." Many toddlers run laps around the house when you'd rather have them in wind-down mode. It's equal parts annoying and adorable, but take heart: the crash is likely to follow soon.
9. They Freak Themselves Out
Your kid's growing imagination can conjure up all sorts of scary things in the dark. Plenty of toddlers experience some form of bedtime anxiety and fear, according to Baby Sleep Site. Maybe checking under the bed for monsters will just be part of the bedtime routine for a bit.
10. They Rock & Head Bang
If your kid tends to rock out at bedtime, it's probably fine. Lots of toddlers use rocking and head banging movements as a way to self-soothe, according to Baby Center. Although they look like they're jamming, it's a way to wind down for sleep.
11. They Sweat Like A Pig
Is your toddler running a secret CrossFit gym at night? If not, it's difficult to explain the excessive sweatiness. Nighttime perspiration often occurs in the deepest phases of sleep, and it's perfectly normal for toddlers, according to Baby Center. Sometimes sweat happens.

Mettler Toledo's free drying-method collection helps to get fast, accurate and repeatable moisture results.
Acceptable moisture-analysis methods for plastic materials include determining water content with Karl Fischer titration or analysing moisture content with a drying oven or moisture analyser. However, Karl Fischer analysis requires chemicals and a drying oven can take several hours. A halogen moisture analyser offers an easy, quick way to carry out moisture analysis - even for untrained operators.
The American Society for Testing and Materials has included halogen moisture analysis as a standard test method for moisture-content determination in plastics by loss in weight in its designation D6980-12.
However, defining a drying method that fits the standard using a halogen moisture analyser requires know-how and several test runs to find ideal method parameters.
To help find the right method for a sample, Mettler Toledo has published a free collection of plastic drying methods tested by Mettler Toledo application specialists. Moisture analyser results are compared to the Karl Fischer titration reference values. In addition, both sample preparation tips and analysis method parameters are included. This allows manufacturers to get started with a halogen moisture analysis that delivers reliable and repeatable results and avoids waste due to bad production batches.
Accurate moisture analysis helps to provide trouble-free compounding and injection moulding. The delivery of repeatable results in less time makes the Mettler Toledo HX204 halogen moisture analyser an excellent choice for fast, accurate halogen moisture analysis for both in-process control and final quality-control.

Abstract or Summary of Project
In 18th-century London, housemaid Eva narrowly avoids being crushed by a falling pillar in a freak accident one rainy day. She is saved, but the incident leaves her saviour William paralyzed waist-down and in critical condition instead. The two form an unlikely bond in hospital, but before Eva is able to make amends, they get separated.
An unlikely relationship develops over their next few lifetimes as they are brought back together again and again – while fate plays for Eva to repay her debt to William, circumstances and choices in life threaten to push them apart, questioning and pushing the concept of soul mates in life.

The trees have come down, the carols have been retired, the sanctuary looks a bit bare (and perhaps our homes as well). It's easy to dismiss this green season after Epiphany, one of our "ordinary times," as fluff between Christmas and Lent. But the theme of this season, this epiphany, is an important one – one that matters deeply in our world today: Jesus, the light of the world, is shining in our midst. Jesus is continually being revealed in the world, bringing salvation and transformation to all dark and troubled hearts and corners.
As the Church, part of our job is to testify to this light, to point to Jesus. In this sense, the Church is like a finger pointing to the moon – like John's Gospel suggests of John the Baptist, we ourselves are not the light, but we testify to the light. Our call is to help others see and know this light of Christ in their lives and the world – the love of God incarnate in our own time.
It is important to ponder, then, where we ourselves see and know this light of Christ, that we may share it with others. As we journey through this epiphany season together, I hope we can keep our eyes, ears, and hearts open to where we are witnessing Christ in our world, and that we may share those God sightings. There are at least a few obvious places to start.
- Worship
Every time we gather for worship together, Christ is present in visible, audible, tangible, even eatable and drinkable ways. Worship is time to regularly be reminded of God's promises – of God's unconditional love that changes everything. What a wonderful blessing that we have a community that exists to proclaim a message of love! Although worship can sometimes seem like a chore, it is an opportunity to draw us ever closer into relationship with the Holy One who loves us.
- Spiritual practice
I know that we all get busy. Life's commitments, challenges, and surprises always keep us planning and adapting. We can become pretty caught up in the mundane as well as the unexpected, and in a sense, we can fall into a kind of autopilot – asleep at life's wheel as we just truck along. But if we are asleep, how will we witness the light of Christ when it presents itself? In other words, if we are not intentionally watching, how can we expect to not miss it? Having a daily or regular prayer, meditation, devotional, or spiritual practice serves as a kind of wake up. It's a reminder to pay attention to where God's love, the light of Christ is shining so we know it when we see it.
- Service
Since the Church's inception, we have emphasized serving the poor as the location of God's heart and the focus of our relationship with God and the world. Whether you serve through helping with one of St. Mark's ministries, or volunteer in your own way in the community/world, service to others always leads to powerful and profound God sighting stories. Don't forget to share yours in Sunday during worship when asked!
Blessings in this season of Epiphany, dear Church. May you witness the light of Christ shining in your own life and in this world.
Pastor Ian

Bangladesh has emerged as one of the fastest growing market for meat, eggs and dairy products in South Asia. With a population of over 165 million, the 8th biggest in the world and a rising income which reached US$1,358 GDP Per Capita, the demand is expected to accelerate further. The Government has initiated incentives in transforming the livestock and dairy industry to provide food security, generate export earnings and livelihood for a growing population.
As a result, the livestock sector is currently undergoing a rapid transformation process through the adoption of modern farming systems and improving downstream processing industry. This has spurred the demand for modern breeding and farming systems, improved feed production, storage and formulation, and animal health and nutrition supplies.

Christmas is an exciting time. There's no time like it, even a birthday doesn't quite induce excitement on the scale that Christmas does. Particularly when you were young, Christmas Eve might have rendered you unbearably excited, refusing to sleep unless you missed Santa, and having to be told a million times that the big red guy won't visit if you don't get some shut-eye.
Now you're an adult. And if you're like me, the child inside comes out on Christmas Eve, ruining a good night sleep by keeping you awake with excitement, leading to an exhausted Christmas Day where even the idea of socialising will make you crave your bed. How can you ensure you get a good night sleep on Christmas Eve?

Avoid caffeine on Christmas Eve
Caffeine has a half-life of between 6 and 8 hours. That's the amount of time it stays in your system. When you have a cup of coffee, the caffeine stimulates all the nerves in your frontal lobes – waking your brain, boosting adrenaline and blocking sleep inducing chemicals. Caffeine also increases your chances of developing a headache and can make your heart rate jump, which will either wake you up or disturb your sleep.

Stay busy in the day
Make sure you have a well-planned day so that the weight of productivity sends you into a deep slumber. Hopefully gifts will already be wrapped, so you can concentrate on pre-chopping vegetables for the big day. The best way to guarantee a fully productive day is to make a check-list of what needs to be bought, wrapped, cooked and decorated. All the energy that might have kept you awake at night will be depleted, leaving you to sleep like a baby.

Limit exposure to light
Get ready for some science! When the body decides it needs to sleep, the small pineal gland in your brain wakes up and produces a hormone called melatonin. Once this floods into your bloodstream, you naturally become less alert and are ready to drift off to sleep. This usually occurs around 9 pm, and melatonin levels will remain high for about 12 hours. However, our modern lifestyles are fighting the production of melatonin. The pineal gland relies on darkness to become active, and staring at a television screen, smart tablet or phone has the negative effect of delaying melatonin and causing a disturbed sleep. Steps can be taken to limit the damaging blue light, such as lowering the brightness of the screen or, better still, adding a special screen protector such as those from Ocushield.

Educational access consultant and test prep professional Akil Bello, one of the star subjects of The Test & the Art of Thinking, appears on MSNBC's Morning Joe. In the wake of the Operation Varsity Blues scandal, Akil discusses the film, admissions testing, and the test prep industry. As he explains to the hosts of Morning Joe, the SAT and ACT "are not tests of anything innate... Clearly those with the ability, the time, the money, to prepare for it will do better."
Viewers requested we share this excerpt from "The Test" in light of the University of California's current review of using SAT and ACT scores for admissions eligibility. In 2001 Dr Richard Atkinson, President of the University of California, made a historic announcement that the university would be dropping the SAT and ACT. In his speech he compared admissions test scores to "the educational equivalent of a nuclear arms race." The clip details a piece of the 2001 story and its aftermath.
"Explains everything that's wrong with using the SAT in the college admissions process"
- John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter
"Finds only more grounds for controversy — including the exams' encroaching effect on what gets taught in high school..."
- Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times
"Doggedly questions an exam that affects the futures of millions"
- Ken Jaworowski, The New York Times
"A brutal takedown of a practice now warping K-12 education"
- Daphne Howland, The Village Voice
"The real stars are the students, and the student voice is used to great effect by producer Michael Arlen Davis. The students in "The Test" aren't clueless - they're clued in. They're frustrated by the system, but they see the big picture clearly, and they care about their futures."
- Movie Review, ChannelCCR
"What I love about this film is that it debunks many of the myths associated with the test and with how people view their scores and how colleges use the test."
- Kristin Tichenor, Worcester Polytecnic Institute
"Film Asks If SAT Tests Fail or Help Students"
- Esha Sarai, VOA News
"Funny, appalling, bleak and well-documented, The Test and the Art of Thinking is a must for parents of high-schoolers, or for that matter kids who'll be there anytime over the next few years."
- James van Maanen, TrustMovies
"Vital and invaluable to anyone taking the tests or who have relatives taking the test, making it a must see..."
- Steve Kopian, Unseen films
Exam Documentary 'The Test and the Art of Thinking' Gets Release

Tasting Notes
"Tasting this whisky is like spending a night on the beach near a bonfire with plenty of snacks. The salty sea air wafts out of the glass, with a smoke of burning leaves that come from both sea and land. Scents and flavors or rosemary, lime peel, and mint mix with richer tones of cashews, salty pretzels, bittersweet chocolate, and berry jam. A fun, familiar flavor akin to movie-theater popcorn butter kicks in toward the finish, which is so savory it's almost crunchy, giving the palate plenty to do. "

"When I was young, nobody really knew what the national team was. There was no concept of it. I looked up to NBA players and NFL players, and then the '94 World Cup and the '99 World Cup happened."

His inclusion is certainly dubious.

Thief Uses Stolen Driver's Licence to Drain B.C. Woman's Bank Account
7 April 2015
Heather Wallace Barnes of Port Moody, B.C., is incredulous after a thief managed to withdraw $17,000 from her TD Bank account using only her stolen driver's licence. The money was all taken out within a five-day period, during which time a woman in possession of the driver's licence visited eight different TD Bank locations and made 12 withdrawals from her account.
Barnes' licence was stolen along with the rest of her wallet in October 2014, while she was on the job at Pinball Alley Vintage, a retail store in Port Moody. Barnes was busy in a different part of the store when, according to the store's surveillance tapes, a man walked behind the counter, rifled through her bag and took her wallet.
Barnes says she did everything she was supposed to do in the immediate aftermath of the incident, cancelling all her credit and debit cards and notifying the bank of the theft. Nonetheless, a few months later, the unauthorized withdrawals began. Barnes says that at first she thought the woman had used her ID to get a new debit card and access her account, but when she talked to representatives from the bank, they surprised her by saying the thief had been able to withdraw the money using only her ID.
Understandably frustrated, Barnes told CTV Vancouver, "What's the point in cancelling all your cards if they don't even need your cards to go into a bank and steal $17,000? Anyone at TD could have seen the pattern was very irregular or suspicious."
If you have recently had your wallet stolen, you are at an increased risk for identity theft. Signing up for a credit monitoring service will help you keep an eye on suspicious activity that may occur on your account.

The state's consumer confidence has been remarkable due to its consistently lower joblessness rate compared to the entire country (in April for instance, joblessness rate of Texas was 4.4 percent and U.S was 5 percent). Texas comes with a Consumer Confidence Index of 117.6 in May while U.S. only had 92.6 (CCI allows one to know the level of optimism that consumers reveal through their practices of saving and spending under a certain economy condition.

Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Your wisdom teeth are the sets of third molars located at the back of your upper and lower arches. They are generally the last four teeth to surface, or "erupt," and can appear anywhere between ages 17 and 35. Wisdom teeth commonly require removal if they do not have enough room to properly develop and become fully functional. Due to the lack of adequate space in the mouth, wisdom teeth can become impacted—or stuck—in a problematic position that is often painful and necessitates extraction. While this impaction is typically noticed during the mid-teen years, older adults may also require extraction if the wisdom teeth start to present oral health concerns. At South River Dentistry, dentist Jeff T. Blackburn, DDS offers treatment for wisdom teeth removal, as well as other oral surgery procedures. We frequently refer more complex cases of wisdom teeth extraction, such as impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth, to the expertise of an oral surgeon in order to ensure the highest quality of patient care.
Reasons to Extract Wisdom Teeth
There are many reasons for wisdom teeth removal. Sometimes, the procedure is performed to address active pain, swelling, decay, or infection around the wisdom teeth. Other times, extracting the wisdom teeth is purely preventative and done in cases where future problems in the teeth and gums are foreseeable. When the wisdom teeth become impacted in your jawbone or gums, it can cause:
- Damage to nearby teeth: When the wisdom teeth surface improperly, they can damage surrounding teeth and cause cavities and/or potential bone loss.
- Disease: Periodontal disease (gum disease), cysts, and even tumors can develop in the areas around impacted wisdom teeth.
- Infection: An infection can arise when food and bacteria become trapped underneath the gum tissue of impacted wisdom teeth, causing pain and additional oral health issues.
- Tooth-crowding: It has been theorized that impacted wisdom teeth can put pressure on nearby teeth and cause tooth shifting and misalignments.
When the teeth erupt at an angle, or never erupt, this may be a sign that extraction is necessary. Dr. Blackburn can examine the third molars and surrounding teeth to determine whether a current problem, or the likelihood of a future problem, exists. An x-ray or panoramic is usually taken during this process to make any existing tooth damage or decay more visible.
Types of Impaction
Impacted wisdom teeth are often accompanied by symptoms such as pain, swollen or bleeding gums, perpetual bad breath, headache, a bad taste when eating, or swelling around the jaw. The most obvious indicator of impaction is swollen or infected gum tissue on top of the tooth. However, an individual may also experience no symptoms from impacted teeth. Different types of impaction include:
- Soft tissue impaction— The crown (upper portion) of the tooth has passed through the bone, but is still being partially or fully covered by the gum tissue.
- Partial bony impaction— The tooth has partially surfaced; however, a part of the tooth is still submerged below the gum tissue and lies within the jawbone.
- Complete bony impaction— The tooth is fully submerged within the jawbone.
The Wisdom Teeth Extraction Procedure
After a thorough dental examination determines that your wisdom teeth require extraction, a specially trained dentist or an oral surgeon will develop a treatment plan for you. Depending on your unique needs, this common procedure will be performed under local anesthesia, intravenous (IV) sedation, or general anesthesia. Wisdom teeth extraction does not usually necessitate an overnight stay and you should be able to return home following the procedure. Post-operative instructions will be provided personally and may include temporary dietary restrictions, such as a fluid and soft-food diet. If necessary, you will be provided with oral medication to help manage any swelling or discomfort. While the length of your recovery period will depend on the complexity of your procedure, wisdom teeth extraction typically requires only a few days of downtime, if any.

Time Warner Cable Shines at Diversity Week
Time Warner Cable Shines at Diversity Week
NEWSROOM: Time Warner Cable
CAMPAIGN: Making Connections That Matter
CONTENT: Multimedia with summary
In late September, members of the cable industry gathered in New York for one of its biggest events, Cable Diversity Week. Time Warner Cable actively participated in Diversity Week, as a sponsor and with our employees serving on panels, acting as mentors, and proudly receiving industry recognition.
TWC was the Presenting Sponsor at the National Association for Multi-Ethnicity in Communications (NAMIC)conference, which began with a jointly presented NAMIC-Cablefax Magazine breakfast celebrating ethnically diverse leaders across the industry, including fifteen from TWC. At the breakfast, TWC Chief Operating Officer Dinni Jain, who was recognized as this year's Most Influential Minority in Cable by Cablefax and who co-chaired the NAMIC conference, joined Cablefax's Associate Publisher Mike Grebb for a candid discussion about workplace diversity.
Jain spoke about the rapidly changing world population, and what it takes to meet customer needs in a competitive environment. Summing things up, he said, "Diversity is not a tack-on thing. It is fundamental to the success of our business."
At the Women in Cable Telecommunications (WICT) Signature Luncheon, TWC leaders were recognized for their commitment to diversity and outstanding leadership. Ellen East, Executive VP and Chief Communications Officer, was named the 2015 Woman of the Year. Rachel Welch, Senior VP of Government Relations, was honored as the 2015 Woman to Watch – Operator.
Additionally, TWC supported and participated in the Walter Kaitz Foundation dinner, helping to raise needed funds for organizations such as WICT, NAMIC, and the Emma Bowen Foundation, which supports media internship opportunities for minority college students. Chairman and CEO Rob Marcus also joined Michael Powell, President and CEO of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association, and other industry leaders at a special meeting with the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), agreeing to continue to support the hiring and retaining of veterans. TWC's recruitment and diversity teams also joined other companies at the T. Howard Foundation's HR Diversity Roundtable during the week, to discuss and share ideas regarding diversity recruiting of early talent and interns.
TWC's participation at Diversity Week highlights our strong commitment to diversity and inclusion within our industry, and our interest in engaging and developing new talent. To learn more about our diversity and inclusion efforts, visit TWC.com.

Young men and women are preparing for another year of coursework, but today's college students have to consider more than academic preparations. More and more often, they are dealing with significant financial preparations for the future.
Student loan debt has been mounting for years, holding back the workforce's youngest members and making it nearly impossible to get ahead of cost-of-living expenses.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal article, severely delinquent student loans are up drastically since 2012, and now comprise 35 percent of the "severe derogatories" category.
Further, of the $1.5 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, 10 percent are a month or more past due and 20 percent are in forbearance or deferment.
These numbers are highly disturbing. And, like most problems impacting large swaths of Americans, New York is hit the hardest.
Recent reports show New York's students are coming out of college with an average of $30,000 in debt. Another study shows New York has nearly the highest per capita student debt of any state.
We must work to reverse these trends with targeted programs and by improving transparency regarding the costs of college degrees.
Reducing the student debt burden must be a priority moving forward. A stronger focus on this growing concern will help not only young New Yorkers, but the overall health of the state's economy.
The state should:
• Provide an additional $500 to every TAP recipient and increase the maximum
TAP award;
• Increase the household income cap threshold;
• Make graduate programs eligible for TAP; and
• Provide a tax break on student loans.
It will take a concerted effort to reduce this already substantial burden. But, with programs aimed at reducing future costs, and ones to alleviate existing debt, we can help make students' higher education investments worthwhile sooner and with more economic effectiveness.
After all, today's students are our state's future.
Brian Kolb is the Minority Leader in the state Assembly.

Timberline Toppers in Colorado created a recruiting plan that they used repetitively over a period of several years resulting in a dramatic regrowth of their failing club. In 2005 they struggled to put a square on the floor. Their first execution of this plan resulted in 38 new club members. They have fine tuned their plan over the years and now believe they can develop a class of 40 or more any time they choose to put forth the effort.

Joyner is Dayton's big man in the middle
Nose tackle in a three-man front or tackle in a four-man front is a thankless job. You can get double or sometimes even triple teamed; hit from every angle. It's a position where glory seldom comes your way.
It's a job that the 6-foot-3 280-pound Josh Joyner seems to thrive doing.
The Dayton senior has been one of the few bright spots for the Dayton Dust Devils, who take their 1-4 record to Reno tonight to play Wooster at 7 p.m.
Joyner, who plays center and nose tackle/tackle, is averaging five tackles and one sack per contest for coach Rob Turner.
"He's had a pretty good year," Dayton coach Rob Turner said. "Teams have tended to try to run away from him. He's big and has quick feet. He's had a lot of success and gets a lot of tackles. He plays both ways, but think his heart is with defense."
Joyner agreed.
"You get a little more freedom on defense," Joyner said. "As a defensive tackle, you aren't supposed to make a lot of tackles. The linebackers are supposed to be the ones getting most of the tackles. If I'm getting a lot of tackles, it means the linebackers aren't doing their jobs."
Joyner has the athleticism and strength to play either guard or tackle, but Turner moved him to the middle this year to help him conserve his strength for defense.
"He doesn't have to pull if he's playing center," Turner said. "In our offense, guards and tackles pull on every play. Last year we had some problems at center, and we haven't had problems there this year. Jake (Turner, QB) feel very comfortable with him. He's the anchor point when we run our wedge play up the middle."
Joyner admits there are times he wouldn't mind playing one of the other spots. There are times when he wants more; feels he could help the team more at a different spot. One thing is certain, the sight of a 280-pounder pulling in high school could be a scary sight for an opposing linebacker or secondary player.
When you see a dominant player at the Division IA level, one wonders how he would do at the Division I level.
"I grew up in this town," Joyner said. "My two older brothers went here, my sister went here and my younger brother is here now. It's my hometown. It's the town I love. I think there would be a difference, but I think I would do pretty good."
At a younger age, Joyner went to elementary school with Carson's Aaron Cowee, and the Dayton senior said he held his own.
One thing that Turner likes about Joyner is his intelligence.
"He's a student of the game," Turner said. "He always asks questions that make sense."
And, he is a bit of a prankster, too.
"As a senior, I have sixth and seventh period off," Joyner said. "We would go to Pizza Factory for lunch, and everybody else is still in class. One day we came back, and put Jack Phillips' car in neutral and moved it. We only did that once or twice."
That was news to Turner.
"He's got a great sense of humor," Turner said. "He sees or hears something, and he runs with it."
Joyner hopes he hasn't played his final season of football.
"I've talked to a couple of Division I schools, an NAIA school and a Division II school," Joyner said. "I went to a camp at Western Oregon and took an unofficial visit there. I really liked it there."
"I think he can definitely play, but at what level I don't know," Turner said.

Apples and more apples, plums, runner beans, tomatoes, courgettes, lots of bright red tiny chilis, lettuces, herbs, beautiful cut flowers, 3 eggs a day (from 10 chickens, 6 in lay)
Spicy lettuce mix
Planting some garlic. I usually do this in January but never have very good results, so perhaps an earlier start would work better for me.
Cutting paths in the meadow (actually a rather scruffy 'wilderness' area at the back of my plot) As every time I venture down there, I get stung by nasty nettles.
Tidying up in the greenhouse, it is acting as a dumping area at the moment, as the photo shows! I would like to get sorted out before the end of the month.
Feeling chilly in the early mornings and evenings now. I have started putting on socks and trainers or boots rather than spending everyday in my old-faithful sandals. Some days are still very hot though.
We lit the log burner for the first time this season yesterday, it was so cosy and warmed us up a treat. I need to get a fire guard as S was rather interested and will soon be mobile.
I have packed away the kids sun hats and suntan cream. Blankets on beds now and cosytoes onto the pushchair again. Only a few weeks ago we were sleeping uncovered, September is such a month of changes.

Is space tourism possible in the near future?
Let's close out this year by asking the big wrap-up question: What science milestones took place in 2016?
From campfire stories of the night sky to knowledge about our ever expanding universe, the cosmos has always fascinated human beings. However, one of the biggest questions still remains unanswered, is anyone else out there?
Is there another Earth-like planet somewhere out there?

Backstage at Eckhaus Latta's Nonconformist Fall/Winter 2018 Show
Another exciting range from the Downtown designers.
Downtown label Eckhaus Latta took to a locale in Bushwick, Brooklyn for its Fall/Winter 2018 runway show during New York Fashion Week. This season, design partners Mike Eckhaus and Zoe Latta continued their MO of reinterpreting conventional garments, shifting gears from last season's starchy structures to a softer, more billowy sensibility.
The label's 16th collection incorporated raw or dyed denim, eccentric knitwear and sheer materials in a pastel-hued color palette. Classic suiting codes also returned in the form of rounded shoulders and flowy silk shirts, as did the assertively androgynous element a la heeled footwear and an all-inclusive, gender-neutral model lineup that featured cult producer SOPHIE and plus-size model Paloma Elsesser. The show closed with Yaeji's cover of Drake's hit song "Passionfruit," rounding out the runway with another refreshed, unorthodox take on a mainstream composition.
Check out our backstage coverage of Eckhaus Latta's Fall/Winter 2018 runway show and keep up to date with the latest collections by following New York Fashion Week.

Since joining SQT back in Sept 2010, i have met many quilters from all corners of the globe. I have connected with like-minded people, and formed some lovely friendships with ladies who share my passion for quilting, and all things vintage ~ in particular, antique quilts.
Jennifer joined Kathy's SQT group a little over a year ago, and we soon discovered that we shared similar quilting styles and a passion for civil war repro fabrics, including a love & appreciation of antique quilts and samplers.
Well, you can imagine my surprise & delight when i discovered that Jennifer was my Secret Santa, this past Christmas...
OMGoodness, i was gobsmacked, as i unwrapped all my SS surprises..so many lovely treats!
Delightful patterns for pincushions and a wool applique table runner, yummy chokkies, a wonderful cook book, cute snowman emery boards, a tiny santa spatula, sweet smelling chock-mint hand cream and the most amazing sewing box... to say i was overwhelmed, is an understatement.
Here a close-up of Jennifer's beautiful needlework... she creates the most beautiful tiny cross stitch designs on aged linen. Can you see the fancy letter M to the bottom right?? how sweet of Jennifer to embroider my initial... i love it!
wait till you see what's on the inside...
more gorgeousness in the shape of compartments lined in beautiful CW fabric & green lace. There's a place for storing needles, a vintage tape measure, a delightful wooden cotton reel (made by Jennifer's husband) and a sweet pair of olde style prim scissors.
Don't you just love the cross stitch pincushion?? it's the sweetest thing, complete with green & purple headed pins :))
Jennifer and i have developed a lovely friendship over these past few months, and we exchange emails on a regular basis.
Some weeks ago, i suggested that it would be fun to do a charm swap, and Jennifer liked the idea. So, we agreed to send each other photos which included a selection of fabrics from each of our stashes. We finally picked the fabrics we liked, fifteen in total, and decided we'd cut them into 10 inch charms.
We sent our charms off to each other, two weeks ago. Jennifer also hinted that she was sending me a little 'surprise'.. a little something to match my sewing box... ooooh i love surprises!!
Well... guess what arrived in the mail yesterday?? a parcel from Jennifer, all the way from Illinois, USA.
I couldn't wait to get home to tear into it!! Little did i know what to expect, when i opened it.
The fabric charms looked so beautiful, rolled up with a tie & sweet little tag.There was a smaller box next to the charms and as i opened it, i let out a tiny squeal.. i couldn't believe my eyes. There before me was the sweetest, darling pincushion on a vintage wooden spool... beautiful beyond words!!
Jennifer does beautiful cross stitch, and i love the design on the pincushion. Can you see the tiny M next to the urn?... it's ever-so tiny & sweet. She used my 'fave' fabric (identical to the lining in my sewing box) for the base of the pincushion and finished it off beautifully with herringbone stitch. But that's not all... she embellished the base with delightful vintage mother-of-pearl buttons... simply adorable! It feel so nice to run my fingers along them :))
My darling pincushion is a little treasure.. it is unique and beautiful beyond words... i love it so!!!
Jennifer's workmanship is exquisite...
how cute are those tiny buttons :)))
they compliment each other beautifully :))
ohhhh... i almost forgot to show you my yummy charms, and the lovely card...
btw Jennifer also included a charm of my 'fave' purple & green fabric... she's a sweetheart :))
the arrival of Jennifer's 'surprise' package was so timely, it made my day.
Jennifer, i am truly overcome by your kindness & generosity... thank you so very much!!
I'm delighted with my charms, and absolutely thrilled to bits with my gorgeous pincushion :)))

Push for Entrepreneurship combines three of my passions: to empower young people, promote and celebrate entrepreneurship and energize others to exceed their self-imposed limitations. My connection to entrepreneurship started at a young age shoveling the neighborhood driveways, cleaning yards and delivering newspapers. I founded the investment banking firm of Carter Morse & Goodrich in 1987 only months before the October 19th stock market crash which helped enable me to become very proficient in managing "Murphy's Law". For pleasure, I spend time with family, work out at the Edge and Equinox, enjoy cooking, eating, yoga and skiing, and box with a trainer. My work out routine involves a lot of cross training. My work out tip is to work out with a partner.

text: Con.ect 2018 announced - Port Elizabeth's Geek Convention returns this year By Sillicur at Monday, March 12, 2018 10:57:00 AM In September last year, I made my way to Con.ect, Port Elizabeth's annual Geek Convention and I was pleasantly surprised with what I found. In Port Elizabeth, there aren't many ways to really let your geek out and I didn't know what to expect, but the whole experience turned out to be a smooth and amazing ride. There were some great stalls featuring gaming merchandise and everything else you can think of, from a Game of Thrones "hand of the king" pin which I picked up, to a Dota 2 ring which I also purchased. I ended up spending quite a lot of money and walking away with a tonne of awesome swag. That's why I am so extremely to head back to Con.ect 2018, which was recently announced. The event will take place at the Nelson Mandela University Vodacom Indoor Sport Centre this year, which is a bigger venue than what they had last year. This year, Con.ect be on Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 August 2018 and I am sure the wait will be well worth it. There will be a LAN event for those who want to come and play some games, but more information about the LAN will only be revealed closer to the event. Con.ect tickets will be sold at the door with the following prices: Saturday and Sunday Day Passes – R50 Weekend Passes – R80 Children under six years enter for free Con.ect is once again teaming up with Sector 17 Esports and Roland Gaspar will be the host of the show. Last year, Mr Gaspar did an amazing job and I almost spilt my drink laughing at some of his jokes, so it is definitely something to look forward to. At the moment we don't have further details to share as the organizers are still in the planning phase, but if last year is anything to go by, then it will be an event in Port Elizabeth not to be missed. When more information becomes available, I will be sure to let our readers know and I will also be covering the event later this year, maybe I might even run into some of you. In the meantime, check out the event's Facebook page and while you are at it, why not take a look at Sector 17 Esports and Roland Gaspar. Watch the awesome video by Hive showcasing the highlights of Con.ect 2017 and then tell us if you plan on going to PE's annual Geek Convention this year.

For those children of key workers who will be in school, they will be following a daily routine to better structure their days. While this timetable will be quite different to a usual school day and is only a suggestion, I thought it would be helpful to share this as it could be used at home, allowing children to stick to a routine similar to when at school. This means that children won't spend too long or too little on a particular task and will continue to have a structured day. (A timetable is also a great way for learning to tell the time!)
Mornings will consist of time for English and maths based tasks, (using websites provided) with breaks. While afternoons will have time for wider curriculum topics including science and history but could also be used for taking the time to learning other useful life skills. (cooking, gardening, crafting, tying shoelaces, etc)

WASHINGTON (CNN) – U.S. intelligence officials are increasingly confident Russia intended to help Donald Trump win the election, a view the CIA shared with Congress in a classified briefing after the election.
"What they've done is they've pieced together a picture. And based on their ability to piece together this picture, they've come up with an assessment and, that as far as we know, basically says this. That, in fact, the Russians did intend to have Donald Trump elected president of the U.S., and what they wanted to do in this particular case is grease the skids for him," said Col. Cedric Leighton.
In October, 17 intelligence agencies released a joint statement saying they were united in the belief that Russia tried to sow chaos during the election with the release of hacked materials.
However, officials tell CNN new intelligence sheds more light on Russia's apparent motive to help Donald Trump win.
Former CIA director Michael Morrell says the hacks are the political equivalent of 9/11, "Even before the election, Charlie, the entire U.S. intelligence community believed that the Russians were interfering in the election. What's changed now is it seems like the CIA believes that the intent here was to advantage Donald Trump and disadvantage Hillary Clinton in the election."
U.S. officials tell CNN that part of the CIA's shift in assessment is based on the fact hackers obtained documents from both the DNC and RNC but chose only to publish documents harmful to democrats online.
CNN has learned FBI investigators did find a breach of a third party entity that held data belonging to the RNC.
The FBI has not concluded the RNC was directly breached, and the RNC has repeatedly denied ever being hacked. The extent to which the kremlin is tied to the hacks remains murky.
CNN has learned U.S. investigators discovered a digital footprint leading back to people in Russia tied to the Russian government and officials have said the hack fits Russia's MO, but there's still no smoking gun directly tying the Russian government to the theft of emails from the DNC and Clinton campaign manager John Podesta that were released through WikiLeaks.
"They have people that do the work for them and that gives them plausible deniability. When they have plausible deniability that gives them more independence. They can say with a straight face in an open forum, we never did any of this," said Col. Cedric Leighton.
Vladimir Putin has repeatedly denied Russia's involvement. Even if Russia did try to help Donald Trump, it's unknown how that might have impacted the outcome of the election. A point made in a fiery exchange by Trump transition spokesman Sean Spicer and CNN's Michael Smerconish.
"Show me what facts have actually shown that anything undermined that election. Donald Trump won with 306 electoral votes, 23-hundred counties, 62 million Americans voted for him, so what proof do you have or does anyone have that any of this affected the outcome of this election?" said Sean Spicer.
Meantime, the FBI has a more conservative view of Russia's motive and had not come as far as the CIA believing it tried to help Donald Trump.

Some Thoughts on Easter...There is a God
Happy Easter everyone.
What a fabulous service we had at church this morning. After some worship, and a message by Pastor Carey, our Creative Arts Team at church presented "There is a God".
PKR wrote and directed this production, that used many of his drama students from Kellogg High School. He used three different songs that the students acted out: the story of one person's search for an answer to life's difficult questions. We watched the Easter Story, the story of creation, and followed the journey of one young girl as she discovers the answer she is seeking.
Many of these students had never been to church before, or not for a long time. But they had the right heart, and the right attitude, and cared about the story they were telling. It was so beautiful, and I love it when God uses kids to share His Word and His message. And I know each of them was touched by the story they shared with the people at our church this morning. I believe many of them are Knocking at the door to God's heart, Asking questions, and as they continue to Seek, God will give them the answers they are searching for in their lives.
Actually, it is the same with all of us. We are always knocking at God's heart, even if we don't know it, asking questions and seeking for the answers. And God is always there, ready to give us the answers.
They videotaped today's performance, and I hope to post it soon, so you can watch it, and see what a great job they did.
The service ended with this song, There is a God.
There is a God. I believe it with all my heart. And Resurrection made it possible to have a personal relationship with Him, by the sacrifice of His son Jesus Christ on the cross, and our debt has been paid in full.
God loves you. God loves me. Get to know Him, the Creator of the Universe.
He'll never leave you or forsake you.
Because HE LOVES YOU.

Product Details
Buy 1 oz Sunshine Minting Silver Bars
New 1 oz Sunshine Mint Silver Bars are an investment alternative to sovereign minted coinage and privately manufactured rounds. Investors can elect to store their equity in silver bullion with a rectangular ingot instead of a circular round without a substantial difference in price. SMI produces its popular silver bar for collectors to buy 1 troy ounce units of pure .999 fine silver. Goldmart offers its clients the option to buy 1 oz Sunshine Mint Silver Bars for physical precious metal portfolios near the spot price of silver with Goldmart's lowest prices online.
Sunshine Minting, Inc. of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, is a leading refiner and fabricator of investment-grade precious metals that has contributed to defining the global standard of bullion since 1979. SMI manufactures bullion in its ISO 9001:2008 certified facilities with its quality managements systems meeting the statutory and regulatory requirements of the International Organization for Standardization.

Contains 1 ounce troy of .999 fine silver (Ag) that is 99.9% pure.

Struck, stamped, or minted in extruded form instead of poured or cast in loaf form.
The devices have a burnished finish and the fields have a proof-like finish.
Sealed in original mint plastic to protect from nominal wear and oxidation.
Same design as 10 oz and 100 oz silver bars.
Obverse features the Sunshine Minting logo and the precious metal content.

1 oz Sunshine Minting Silver Bar Design
The design used on the 1 oz Sunshine Mint Silver Bar is the same in style as that used on SMI's larger 10 oz and 100 oz silver bars.
The obverse of the 1 oz Sunshine Mint Silver Bar features the famous logo of Sunshine Minting, Inc.--a circle with 'SUNSHINE MINTING', an eagle depicted on the hunt for prey with its outstretched talons, and an artistically designed sunburst in the spirit of the Southwest. Two inscriptions detailing the precious metal composition are minted: the purity and precious metal type, '.999 FINE SILVER'; and the weight, '1 OUNCE'.
The reverse of the 1 oz Sunshine Mint Silver Bar features multiple stylized suns repeating on successive diagonal lines. Sunshine Mint's anti-counterfeiting device, its Mint Mark Scrambled Indicia bullion security pad, is struck into the center. This Mint Mark SI™ looks empty to the unaided eye but 'VALID' appears when viewed through a special decoding lens to let investors know the 1 oz silver bar is an authentic product of Sunshine Minting, Inc.

solid silver bullion with cheap over spot value, verifiable with the Sunshine Mint Mark security marking. The sheet they came in looks a little beat up/scratched which makes you want to take the bars out and look at them unblemished, so one star off for that. Will buy more!
(Posted 4/11/2014) Steven T. from Pennsylvania rates this product5
These silver bars arrived about three weeks after I mailed my check.They were about what I expected,very nice.I think this is the best way to invest in silver,these bars were only .89 cents over spot price and I feel they are worth just as much as the silver ingots.I will use Goldmart every time I feel like buying more silver because they are an honest and reliable company.

Great product. Excellent condition.
(Posted 9/11/2013) Helix 6. from Idaho rates this product4
This is a very nice bar. The finish and luster are excellent. I got it as a companion to a 1-oz Sunshine gold bar that I had acquired previously. It arrived in a timely fashion and in excellent condition. It was enclosed in a sealed clear plastic sleeve and was boxed securely and discreetly.
I gave this bar a four-star rating rather than five stars only because it came in the same shipment with a 1-oz Johnson Matthey silver bar which I personally found to be ever so slightly more appealing. But this is a "beauty in the eye of the beholder" thing, and not a reflection on this bar, which, as I stated above, is indeed very nice.
My experiences with Goldmart continue to be uniformly positive. I am completely satisfied with this transaction.

Moses Can't Keep It Up [draft]
Moses Can't Keep It Up
8 While the Israelites were still at Rephidim, a nomadic tribe called the Amalekites came to attack them. 9 When Moses saw them coming, he turned to the nearest person, a young man named Joshua, and he said, 'I'm going to go and stand on that hill and take my staff in my hand.'
'You're thinking about masturbating at a time like this?' exclaimed Joshua.
'No, it's magic!' retorted Moses.
'It may be for you, but really, man, we need to deal with these Amalekites!'
Moses sighed. 'Go and pick out our best fighters. I'm going up the hill with Aaron and Hur.'
'You're taking your brother and your friend?' shrieked Joshua. 'You're sick, dude!'
'Just fucking do it!'
10 So, Joshua and a group of men went and fought the Amalekites, while Moses took his brother and his friend up the hill. 11 When Moses raised his staff, the Israelites were able to overpower the Amalekites.
12 After many hours, Moses's arms were getting tired, and he lowered his staff. The Amalekites immediately started winning. Aaron and Hur rushed forwards and grabbed Moses's hands so that he could raise his staff again. So, the Israelites began to win again.
'Jesus Christ!' declared Aaron. 'What the hell is this staff made of?'
13 Several hours later, all three men's arms were getting tired. Hur looked around, and he found two sticks. He propped them under Moses's arms and tied them to his wrists to keep them upright.
When Joshua looked up and saw what was happening on the hill, he yelled, 'Bloody hell! Moses is having so much trouble ejaculating, they've resorted to bondage!'
14 By sunset, the battle was over, and the Israelites had won. Moses came rushing down the hill, and he said to the crowd, 'I want this to be written on a scroll: "Joshua defeated the Amalekites".'
'Why?' replied the crowd.
'Because I don't want anyone to remember that the Amalekites existed.'
'Wait, that makes no sense,' sighed the crowd.
'Just do it!' commanded Moses.
15 Moses built an altar, and he called it Yahweh-Nissi, which means, 'My God, my arms are aching.' 16 But he knew that this wouldn't be the last the Israelites would hear of the Amalekites, and that they'd be at war with them for generations to come.

Pope Benedict meets Polish president
Pope Benedict XVI received Saturday Polish President Bronislaw Komorowski for a review of bilateral and religious issues, including the question of the beatification of the pope's predecessor, John Paul II, DPA reported.
The date of the audience by Komorowski was no coincidence, coming on the 32nd anniversary of the election of then-Polish Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as pope.
The Vatican said Komorowski's talks with Benedict included issues of the dialogue between church and state and protection of human life in all its phases.
Komorowski, in his first audience with the pope since he was elected Poland's president in August, also asked Benedict about the status of the beatification process for John Paul II (1978-2005).
"We have a common hope for a good procedure in the process of beatification and the latest signals point to an acceleration of the process," Komorowski said after the meeting.
Many Catholics had urged a quick beatification for John Paul after his death in 2005. Beatification is a major step towards the canonization, or declaration of sainthood.
Normally beatification procedures are not initiated until after five years of a person's death. But Benedict started the procedure quickly, after about three months of John Paul's death.

Zhuwao Leads Eagles Fightback With Aggressive Half-Century
After two hard-fought days at Harare Sports Club, Tuskers have a slight advantage over Eagles in this Logan Cup match, having reduced them to 222 for seven wickets in their first innings in reply to their own score of 313, of which Craig Ervine scored 141.
Cephas Zhuwao led the Eagles reply with a dynamic 60, but to date none of his colleagues has managed to score 30.
Tuskers began the day with a first-innings score of 244 for five wickets, with Ervine still there on 101, but with only the tail to support him, and Chris Mpofu on 3.
Not a run had been scored when, with the third ball of the day, Honest Ziwira beat Mpofu's back defensive stroke and knocked back his off stump.
Ervine nearly followed him in the next over, as he edged a ball from Faraz Akram low to second slip, who could not hold it.
Not long afterwards, Akram did successfully remove John Nyumbu, trapped lbw for two at 257 for seven.
Thabo Mboyi decided to attack, and hit Akram for six. He had an occasional wild swish, but on the whole played a very sound and valuable innings until Tino Mutombodzi dismissed him lbw for 27, after a partnership of 56 with Ervine that took the score to 313.
Mboyi's proved to be the third-highest score of the innings.
Without addition Ervine's fine innings came to an end as, with Ernest Masuku as his new partner, he drove at a ball from Tapiwa Mufudza outside his off stump and was caught at slip for 141.
He faced 214 balls altogether, and hit 16 fours and three sixes.
The last three wickets were all to fall at 313, as Masuku in the next over was bowled by Mutombodzi, leaving Stephen Chimhamhiwa not out without scoring.
Mutombodzi, in his 10th over, had the best bowling figures for his side, with three for 19; Akram had two for 60, while five other bowlers took one wicket apiece.
There was time for Eagles to bat for just one over before lunch, and Chamu Chibhabha and Zhuwao scored a single each off the bowling of Mboyi.
Zhuwao was immediately underway in typical style after the interval, cracking Masuku for two successive fours in his first over.
Chibhabha will not be happy with himself for his dismissal for seven.
He came forward to play a ball from Masuku, and there was a great appeal for lbw; as he remained out of his crease to check the decision of the umpire, Brian Chari picked up the ball and threw down the stumps to run him out.
Zhuwao scored 28 off his first 12 balls, but finally the bowlers wised up and began pitching the ball so short as to eliminate his powerful drives.
Despite the restrictions, Zhuwao adjusted enough to reach his fifty out of 72 in 36 balls.
But when he had made 60 out of 82, he went for another big hit, Mpofu being the bowler, and skyed a catch on the leg side, to the great relief of all the Tuskers team.
He faced 45 balls and hit eight fours and a six.
The two wicket-keepers, Regis Chakabva and Richmond Mutumbami, batted quietly yorking until tea, when the score was 119 for two; the batsmen had 25 and 15 respectively.
Just after the break, however, Chakabva, looking for a second run from a hit to long leg, was brilliantly run out by a direct hit from Masuku; he had made 29, with the score 129 for three.
Mutumbami followed at 151 for four, as a ball from Chimhamhiwa knocked out his middle stump, and when, without addition, Mutombodzi was out lbw to Masuku for five, Tuskers believed they were taking a grip on the game.
Elton Chigumbura responded aggressively, scoring 21 off 18 balls, but then had his off stump knocked out by Chimhamhiwa; 174 for six.
Tony Munyonga and Akram dug in, defending doggedly, but the runs began to come and the 200 was reached.
At 210 Akram (17) nibbled at a ball from Mpofu outside the off stump to be caught at the wicket.
Trevor Garwe came in and saw out the day with five not-out, Munyonga having 19 off 67 balls at the close.
But at 222 for seven Eagles still have a way to go, 91 more runs, before they can match Tuskers on the first innings.
