The rollout of the final part of Phase II is underway! Authors and their works will be separated into distinct pages, and each page will be able to have multiple tabs for presenting information. I'm currently planning to use "Works" for a list of an author's works, "Links" for links to etexts and Amazon.com copies of a particular work, "About" for very brief biographical information or summaries of works, and "Resources" for online or for-sale study guides and other helps.
As of today (July 8, 2019), the following authors have been converted to the new format (listed in chronological order):
Hammurabi, Homer, Hesiod, Tyrtaeus, Confucius, Sun-Tzu, Aeschylus, Pindar, Lao-Tzu, Sophocles, Euripides, Herodotus, Thucydides, Hippocrates, Aristophanes, Xenophon, Plato, Euclid, Aesop, and Shakespeare.
I will be moving additional pages and works to the new format as I have time. Currently the old and new formats exist side-by-side, so the links in the index lists will take you to the format corresponding to the author or work selected (trying to make sure I could roll this out one author at a time while keeping everything accessible from any page has been a major reason why the process has taken so long).
New pages from this point forward will mostly just have Works or Links tabs populated; once I get all of the authors and works moved to the new format, I will start working on adding "About" information and resource links.

Hi All,
As the middle of the first term of Autumn Semester draws near, recruiting, midterm studying, and loads of group work have been taking most of our time. Today a few of us MAcc students decided to take a mini-break from work and head downtown to visit the Columbus Museum of Art and we thought you might like to join us on our trip!
Our adventure started by heading to the Student Union to pick up some free tickets. As a student at Ohio State you will have the opportunity to receive several discount tickets (abbreviated d-tix) for local attractions, theater shows, concerts, sporting events and much more (Tip-be sure to go pick-up tickets early in the week as unfortunately the union was all out of discount tickets on Saturday). But the silver lining was that we were still able to use our student ID's to purchase discounted tickets at the museum for only $8. Another perk is that the museum offers free parking! And if you happen to visit on a Sunday, don't even worry about picking up a d-tix because Sundays are free admission days.
After purchasing tickets, our real journey began as we entered the museum and walked through several rooms full of masterpieces. In fact, even the inside of the building looked like a piece of art. As we browsed the collections, we had the opportunity to tune into our creative sides by participating in a few hands on activities.
After about an hour we were unexpectedly surprised by an event that for us girls, became one of the highlights of the trip: A wedding right in the middle of the museum! The five of us couldn't help but sneak a peek at the bride after her bridesmaids walked down the aisle to none other than, "Beauty and the Beast," the theme song from the classic Disney movie.
As our exploration came to a close we decided to stop for a group picture at the entrance of the museum before heading back to hit the books.
Hope you enjoyed taking this little trip with us! Until next time…
Wish us luck on our Monday midterm!

I get the question all the time: "How can I embed a YouTube video into my DPS project?
My answer: a YouTube video that shows how to embed a YouTube video into your DPS project!
It is possible that InDesign won't recognize the embed code that you copy and paste from YouTube, so you can always use the Object>Insert HTML option and paste your embed code there. If you want to use the video in a scrollable frame, this method won't work in CS6. You will need to save the embed code to a file (called something like video.html) and point a Web Content overlay at it, allowing user interaction and turning on auto play.

Just because something is popular, that doesn't mean it's profitable. Just ask Pandora Media how it's faring with its incredible popular music-discovery service and ocean of red ink. And so it goes with software giant Microsoft
It feels like so long ago
The original Xbox launched in North America more than a decade ago, way back in November 2001. With that generation of gaming consoles, Sony
When it was time for the next generation of consoles, the Xbox 360 jumped the gun on everyone, launching four years later in November 2005. It would be a full year later until both Sony and Nintendo would launch the PlayStation 3 and Wii, respectively, in November 2006, two days apart from each other.
The rest is history
Since then, the Xbox 360 has become the top-selling game console as Microsoft continues to teach it new tricks. The popular and innovative Kinect accessory took gesture recognition to the next level by ditching the need for a handheld controller and empowering players with natural motion controls. The console can now also do voice recognition and is spearheading Microsoft's big push into the living room with TV content, and it will also soon be able to communicate with your mobile gadgets.
NPD Group just released its June estimates for the domestic console market, and the researcher estimates that Microsoft sold 257,000 Xbox 360 units during the month, beating the PS3 and Wii for the 18th consecutive month, representing a dominating 47% market share. That's the 16th consecutive month that the Xbox 360's market share topped 40%. The overall market is declining, but Microsoft isn't going down without a fight.
The company officially sold 1.4 million units in the first quarter, bringing its cumulative lifetime total to 67.2 million since launch. Attach rates for both software and accessories continue to rise along with evidence that players are maintaining a healthy level of engagement. Players buy an average of 9.2 software titles per console, the highest it's ever been, and Microsoft now has more than 40 million Xbox Live members, which has also never been better.
By most measures, you'd think the Xbox business has been a raging success. Too bad you'd be wrong.
This one's on me
For starters, the device itself was sold at a loss for many of the early years, a relatively standard practice in the industry. Per-unit losses on the original Xbox were estimated at $125, and about the same amount for the Xbox 360 at launch. Naturally, component costs have come down dramatically since then, but let's take a deeper look.
I went back and compiled more than 10 years of data, going back to the quarter that the first Xbox launched, to see how the console has fared in its operating segments over the years. Microsoft has changed the operating segments it reports twice over the years, so keep that in mind with the following graphic.
Source: SEC filings.
The Xbox has been housed in the consumer-devices segment, then home and entertainment, and currently the entertainment and devices division. Of course, there have been other products in each of those segments over the years, such as Windows Mobile and Windows Phone, but the Xbox is a big contributor.
The segment transitions are notated, along with both generations of consoles. The majority of the time is spent in operating red ink, and the cumulative losses of all of those divisions over the years is a whopping $4.1 billion.
Sweet black ink (most of the time)
The good news is that the entertainment division has been consistently generating positive operating income over the past five years or so, with only a few quarters here and there in the red. Although keep in mind we're approaching the next generation of consoles, which requires a lot of dollars for development, and the new units might similarly end up being sold at a loss until costs come down.
Microsoft's Xbox "720" is rumored to pack Advanced Micro Devices
At the rate Microsoft is going, there's still hope to dig itself out of this hole, unless the Xbox 720 knocks it right back down. Too bad you can't say the same thing about the online services division. That segment has lost $10 billion over the past five years. That's more than twice the losses in less than half the time!
Even though Microsoft is a Dow Jones dividend stock, it's not one of three that dividend investors need. These companies boast sustainable businesses with steady cash flows, and they have a good habit of giving it back to shareholders. This special free report will get you up to speed.

FRANKLIN, Tenn. -- Freshman Mitch Thomas didn't take long to make an impact on his new team after transfering to Tennessee Tech following a year at King College. The Golden Eagle newcomer led his new team Friday in the first round of the Mason Rudolph Men's Championship at The Legends Golf Course, firing a one-under 70 to grab a share of 10th place individually and lead the Golden Eagles to a share of 10th place in a challenging field of 15 outstanding teams.
Begining play on No. 10 South, Thomas bogeyed No. 12 but bounced back to score birdies on Nos. 13 and 14 to move to one-under. He had another bogey on 16, making the turn at even-par. On his second nine, Thomas marked six straight pars, then chipped in from the greenside sand trap for a birdie three on No. 7, moving him back to one-under.
Junior Greg Kitts also chipped one in from just off the green on No. 6, earning a birdie on the 590-yard, par 5. He finished the day with fourt birdies, nine pars, four bogeys and a double-bogey six on his first hole of the day. That left him at two-over 73, and tied for 33rd place in the field of 84 golfers. He ranked third in the tourney in par 5 scoring.
Senior Lee Maxwell and freshman Lee Whitehead (photo at left) are next for Tech, each finishing at four-over 75 to place them in a tie for 52nd place. Maxwell had one birdie, one double-bogey and three bogeys for the day on the 7,100-yard layout. Whitehead's first collegiate round was mostly uneventful as he quietly posted 15 pars, two bogeys and one double-bogey. His 15 pars was second-best in the tourney.
Freshman Adam Cunningham, also playing his first collegiate round, is tied for 81st place after shooting 81. He carded seven bogeys and one double-bogey in addition to 10 pars.
Virginia's Denny McCarthy is the individual leader after one round with a four-under 67, but it didn't help the Cavaliers who find themselves in tie for 12th place.
Oklahoma is the first round team leader with a solid 280 total, led by Abraham Ancer, one of three player tied for second at 68. Mississippi and College of Charleston are tied for second place at 285, with host Vanderbilt in fourth place (286) and Georgia State and Georgia Southern (289) tied for fifth.
South Alabama (291) is in seventh place, followed by Davidson and Middle Tennessee (292) tied for eighth, while Tech and Mississippi State (293) are tied for 10th. The remainder of the field incudes East Tennessee and Virginia (296) tied for 12th, Arkansas State (297) and Rice (299).
The second round begins Saturday at 8 a.m., with the third round schedule for Sunday morning.

MAHNOMEN, Minn. – Law enforcement officials are trying to piece together the circumstances that led to an unidentified woman being dropped off at the Naytahwaush Clinic in northwest Minnesota with a gunshot wound on Tuesday.
The woman has only identified herself with a nickname, and investigators believe she is from outside this area, Mahnomen County Sheriff Doug Krier said Wednesday, Jan. 10.
"We've got a few people that we're looking for," Krier said. "We're not even sure where the incident happened. All we know is that someone put her in a vehicle and took her to the Naytahwaush Clinic, dropped her off and left."
The sheriff's office received a 911 call at 1:13 p.m. Tuesday reporting a person with a gunshot wound. Deputies went to the Naytahwaush Clinic and found the woman being treated by medical staff.
She was taken to the Mahnomen Health Center and then airlifted to a Fargo hospital for further treatment. Her condition was not released.
What led to the woman being shot is unclear. Krier said there's no danger to the public.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the Mahnomen County Sheriff's Office at (218) 935-2255.

Garage Doors Can Enhance Your Home's Value
Most people don't think of their garage door very often except to open it or close it. But there's money to be made in your garage door's appearance.
One relatively easy way to increase the value of your home is to install a new garage door. Yes, you could remodel your kitchen or a bathroom and that wouldn't hurt anything. But perhaps the biggest return on investment for your home improvement dollar is in front of where you park your car, store a lot of your stuff or both. Your garage door.
A new garage door with decorative features may be just what you are looking for. Here are some of the considerations.
Doors with raised panels have a very classic look. The best part is that they can be painted in different ways to enhance the panels. This makes the door stand out far beyond what a solid color may do.
Overhead doors featuring a carriage house pattern can make a huge difference to your home's curb appeal. They are built to resemble the look of carriage house or barn doors. Carriage style doors often look like they are on hinges and open outward, but they're actually convenient overhead doors that are completely out of the way when they are open.
Windows on doors can also make a big difference to the door's appearance. Palladium style windows, if they match the decor of your house can really make an great impression. What ever type of window you have in your door, the idea is to match the type of window in the rest of the house.
Doors can be made from semi-opaque acrylic. They let light pass though the door but no details of the items inside the garage can be discerned. Although this style is highly unusual and very expensive, on the right house they can present an amazing appearance. This is specially true on a contemporary style house and if the door panels are backlit.
If your budget is tight, but you want to make a dramatic improvement to the appearance of your house, you can paint your door in just a couple of hours. The transformation will be stunning, particularly if you use multiple colors. That's a lot for just painting your door, specially if you can get to the 4% side of the range.
A Good Garage Door Repair Quote Considers Your Warranty.
Garage door repair work should come with a warranty on parts and labor. When you hire West Point Garage Door Service you can rest assured that the parts we provide are the best available and have a factory warranty. We also warranty our labor.

I kid.
However, I have found some of my most frustrating experiences can come from that dungeon to date. I recently had a failed purist tinker run. Mostly because 1/3 of the map was blocked off by high level monsters, and all of the kill accellerating(halpmeh, burndayraz, fine sword) abilities were behind them. It was ridiculously frustrating. Granted the one key thing I did wrong was I should have saved one of my transmute scrolls to solve that problem(that I didn't immediately realize I had). So I ended up losing to tower of goo, because I had to expend such a sheer amount of resources just to level up to GET to the other side of that wall that there wasn't enough left.
I am not sure something needs to be changed or not. The level was designed for tight corridors and monsters blocking them. However if I was going to suggest something to make myself feel better(and potentially people who literally know no better) maybe make monsters above level 7 like 10% less likely to sit in a choke point.

NEW YORK — The U.S. stock market fell on the second day of a government shutdown after a private poll showed that employers added fewer jobs last month than economists had forecast.
U.S. businesses added 166,000 jobs last month, payroll company ADP said Wednesday, a level consistent with only a modest improvement in hiring. Economists polled by FactSet had forecast 180,000 jobs would be added.
About 800,000 federal workers were staying home again Wednesday on the second day of the first partial shutdown of the U.S. government since the winter of 1995-96, with little sign of an imminent deal to break the stalemate.
Republicans in the House of Representatives are insisting that Democrats negotiate over the new health care law as part of the funding deadlock. Senate Democrats, led by Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, insist that Republicans pass a straightforward temporary funding bill with no strings attached.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 131 points, or 0.9 percent, to 15,057 as of 10:10 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 14 points, or 0.8 percent, to 1,681. The Nasdaq composite declined 27 points, or 0.7 percent, to 3,790.
The longer the budget fight drags on, the more investors will start to fret about the looming showdown about raising the government's borrowing limit, said Brad McMillan, the Chief Investment Officer at Commonwealth Financial, an investment adviser.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew told Congress that unless lawmakers act in time, he will run out of money to pay the nation's bills by Oct. 17. Congress must periodically raise the limit on government borrowing to keep U.S. funds flowing, a once-routine matter that has become locked in battles over the federal budget deficit.
"I'm not going out there and beating my chest and saying the world is coming to an end here," said McMillan. "But we face the possibility for significantly greater disruptions than the market is currently pricing in."
The last time there was an impasse over the borrowing limit in August 2011 it led to a downgrade of the United States' credit rating by Standard & Poor's, setting off a plunge in the stock market.
In government bond trading, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.60 percent from 2.65 percent on Tuesday.
In commodities trading, the price of oil climbed 28 cents, or 0.3 percent, to $102.39 a barrel. Gold rose $21, or 1.6 percent, to $1,307.40 an ounce.
The dollar fell against the euro and the yen.
Among stocks making big moves:
— Monsanto fell $2.86, or 3 percent, to $102.07, after the company reported a wider loss than analysts were expecting because of weak sales of genetically engineered seeds.
— Global Payments rose $4.29, or 8.4 percent, to $54.96, after the company named a new CEO, sped up share repurchase plans and increased its profit outlook. The company provides electronic transaction processing services for retailers, financial institutions and government agencies.

Other Voting Issues
A number of other issues can come up for voters, either on or before Election Day. If a voter shows up and they are not on the rolls, for example, under federal law, they are allowed to cast a provisional ballot, which will be counted once the voter's eligibility is confirmed. Members of the military have resources to help them vote, including the Military and Overseas Voters Empowerment (MOVE) Act. And the Brennan Center provides a comprehensive guide to help voters understand the rules for registering when they move.
To help make sure every vote counts, we must use the Election Administration Commission, a federal agency created after Florida's 2000 election debacle, to create a national set of best election practices. The agency can ensure votes are counted accurately in every state, help plan and prepare for emergencies, and determine where to place and set up polling places and machines to reduce long lines.

Quora is my newest favourite website. And it's clear I'm not alone. After quietly building buzz through 2010 Quora has blow up, doubling in December and then doubling again in the first week of 2011.
I'm not surprised: Quora, a question-and-answer platform, is tapping into a really important trend, the rise of the interest graph alongside the social graph in online importance. Nathaniel Whittemore discussed this in a smart post a couple of months back:
If Facebook is the service with the internet's most complete (visible) social graph, Twitter is the service with the internet's most complete (visible) interest graph. "Following" a person — even one you don't know — is an affirmation of your interest in their insights and recommendations. "Friending" someone is simply an act of acknowledging an existing relationship, that in many cases, has more to do with a previous shared experience (think: your freshman dorm) than with a really active shared interest.
At the time of Nathaniels post it did seem that Twitter offered the best example of the emerging interest graph. It's non-reciprocal linking structure allows you to follow those that interest you, not just those you know, creating a blended social/interest graph. Hashtags further allowed you to follow specific conversations and connect with new people who share that interest.
Quora was built intentionally to capture the interest graph (Twitter was originally built to allow friends to keep track of each other) and so naturally takes this the next step, encouraging you to formally "follow" a variety of topics that interest you, from locations ("San Francisco"), industries ("media", "tech"), companies ("Facebook", "Twitter"), concepts ("crowdsourcing"), individuals ("Larry Lessig", "Jack Dorsey") and more (all examples are topics I follow). In addition you can follow specific questions, to get a notification each time there is a new response, and you can follow individuals, those you know or otherwise. Your feed is a blend of the topics, questions and people you follow.
This design influences your behavior on the site. There are people I follow on Twitter, because they are my friends and I'm interested in them, who I would not follow on Quora, simply because we do not share significant interest in common so their questions and answers are less likely to be relevant to me. While Quora is social I'm not there for a social experience per se, I'm interested in learning and, where possible, giving back in the form of answers.
The quality of the information being shared currently is phenomenal. It's common to see founders of companies, even very large companies, responding to questions about that company. Steve Case responds to questions about early AOL decisions. Ashton Kutcher gives his opinion on how to get cast for a show. Evan Williams shares how Twitter managed to blow up at SxSW. Insiders share the thinking behind business deals or technology advances. It's very skewered towards Silicon Valley/tech/startup but if it can maintain this quality across other topics it will become a vital site for many people.
For cause-focused organizations Quora also provides another powerful platform for sharing knowledge and stories, building authority and connecting with people who care about your issue. This has to be done respectfully, by passionate advocates of the organization, speaking as themselves. Credibility is built by thoughtfully providing answers and asking honest questions about things you seek to know. Admitting you don't know everything is more likely to build support than pretending you do, and may even bring you unexpected answers and ideas.
It will be interesting to see how Quora evolves under the strain of growing users and the need to improve the user interface to encourage less tech-savvy participants. What I do know is that right now I'm leaning more useful, actionable information from Quora than anywhere else. For those that never likes the 140 character constraints of Twitter Quora might be the social network for you. Here's my response to a question on, where else?, Quora, Is Quora more interesting than Twitter right now? Why or why not?:
Absolutely. It's the best of twitter and blogging together in some ways (although I don't think it will replace or impact either). There is so much knowledge here, freely and cogently expressed, and this knowledge is vastly more searchable and accessible than that shared through Twitter. That said, I'm not sure Quora will be the relationship-building tool Twitter has been for me.
Are you using Quora? How are you finding it?

Eric Wilson was in London on the NSW Travelling Art Scholarship when the outbreak of the Second World War forced his return to Australia. His studies in Europe led his work in two directions - cubist-inspired abstract still lifes and portraits and landscapes based on drawings made in Europe.
Wilson was a conscientious objector during the war and worked as a ward attendant at Lidcombe Hospital in Sydney between 1942 and 1944. He made a number of emotionally expressive studies of the residents in Wards 27 and 28, which housed approximately ninety patients each, most suffering either advanced senility or terminal illness. The drawings led to a painting in the Gallery's collection, 'The inmates' 1944.

Introduction, Design and Features
The A.C. Ryan Playon! HD2 impressed us with its comprehensive format support and improved GUI, and so we decided to give its little sibling, the Playon! HD Mini 2, a spin. A media player capable of playing back almost every format and output video to 1080p resolution, will it live up to the standard set by its larger sibling or will it fall short?
Dead Ringer
To call the HD Mini 2 the little brother would be an understatement; the shape and design is exactly like the HD2, albeit smaller. Take a look at our HD2 review, and imagine the player shrunk down, but still retaining that glossy black box look. The good thing with it being black is it is easy to blend in with the rest of your A/V equipment. However, it will come across as being dreadfully boring for those of you who love to have more color in your home.
Of course due to the player's smaller size it cannot house any internal hard drives of any sort, while the limited real estate at the back offers less I/O ports than its larger sibling. Other than these two significant differences, the design of the Mini 2 and HD2 is essentially the same.
The two players share the same remote design and their long frame bodes well when held in the palm of our hand. The remote possesses all the necessary buttons and then some like the circular D-Pad that made navigation easier than the four-way arrow D-pad of other remotes. However, the same flaws returned such as the buttons not being responsive at times. Not to forget the other annoying fact is that you have to point the remote at the player directly, similar to what we found with its bigger sibling earlier.
The Mini 2 features the same GUI as its larger sibling. The GUI makes surfing for your content pretty easy; the various media types are all assigned their own submenus. You can select the way the system displays the files, such as thumbnails or a list of the files instead.
The UI made it easy to navigate the system and the system gives you enough options to tinker around with regarding the video and audio playback capabilities such as HDMI passthrough or LPCM for audio playback. The UI is responsive, but as with all the current-gen media players, you can't expect commands registering in light speed. Thanks to the excellent remote, many playback and customization options can be accessed with a press of the button instead of trawling through layers of menus. So adjusting subtitle size, jumping to a certain timing in the video or adjusting the resolution of the screen while watching a video can be done without exiting the video you are watching.
Similar to its larger sibling, the Mini 2 also offers internet services. But be warned, these services are far from being any replacements for their PC counterparts that you access via a full internet browser. You can only use one service at a time, and thus no multitasking is present. Of course it was nice to have these extras, but we doubt you will actually spend any serious time on the services.

The Thomas Train cake will not leave you disappointed. You will be devouring it little by little. We are sure that you will find it a blessing. More photos of the cake will be taken as it is more adorable and will be the highlight of the party.
What is a Fondant Cake?
Fondant includes gelatin (or agar in vegetarian recipes) and food-grade glycerine, which keeps the sugar pliable and creates a dough-like consistency. Rolled fondant is rolled out like a pie crust and used to cover the cake. The best thing about fondant is that it provides a greater range for decoration. With fondant it is possible to attain a more refined and precise creation.
What is a Semi-Fondant Cake?
As fondant cake is costlier we wanted to make a lighter version of the same so instead of using fondant to cover the whole cake we use a pastry base and whipped cream to cover the cake and just use fondant for making figures and accessories. But not all cakes can me made in Semi Fondant

"Madness" no more: How definitions of mental illness have changed over the years
By Vera H-C Chan and Claudine Zap
In 1952, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders weighed in at a wispy 50 pages. In 1994, DSM-IV numbered 943 pages. The DSM-5 will actually be less than that — still, when comparing the versions, "one thing you're struck with right away is the increase of diagnostic categories," says David Baker, director of the Archives of the History of American Psychology at the University of Akron. "It's largely a kind of a mirror on the culture... It's not purely objective."
Not surprisingly, well before the DSM came into existence, respected intellectuals were espousing psychological theories on why females went into hysterics, the sickness that made slaves want to run from their masters, and the upper-class ailment triggered by hard work and social upheaval. Here's a look at disorders, past and present, that fell out of fashion, got caught up in other illnesses, or changed its name.

Navigating unfamiliar terrain: Book offers lessons for couples coping with cancer
Picture a stormy sea, ominous sky, and a small boat being tossed about by threatening waves and gusty winds. Alone in the boat, a couple struggles to keep from going under.
This is the metaphor at the heart of Dr. Dan Shapiro's new book, And in Health: A Guide for Couples Facing Cancer Together, that was released today (May 14). Part lifejacket, part buoy, the book offers practical advice for spouses and partners whose lives have been upended by cancer.
Shapiro, a clinical psychologist, knows this landscape firsthand. For five years when he was in his 20s, he battled lymphatic cancer, undergoing chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant and relying upon his spouse Terry for support. A dozen years later, the roles were reversed when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
"Despite living in the cancer world since the 1980s, I underestimated how intense, painful and difficult it is to be the spouse and how important it is to understand that both roles are challenging," said Shapiro, also chairman of the Department of Humanities, Penn State College of Medicine.
"We're talking about really practical things we can do to make the experience easier and strengthen our relationship."
Those "practical things" range from how to interact with the medical team and deal with emotions to how to talk about sex, to name a few of the chapter topics. The chapters themselves contain a mix of personal anecdotes, research findings and specific recommendations such as working less to scheduling weekly date nights when talking about cancer is prohibited.
All are aimed at helping couples navigate this unfamiliar and scary terrain that can include radical body changes, job loss, and role shifts.
While Shapiro draws on his personal experiences to frame the book, he also consulted the research literature and interviewed forty couples coping with cancer. Quotes from those interviews provide additional insight into how people can anchor themselves in the face of trauma.
"Every patient I interviewed contributed. Many had insights they didn't think of as unique but were very helpful, and there were people who were in situations that I had not encountered," Shapiro said.
And despite the seriousness of the topic, the book has real moments of humor, another coping strategy that keeps people oriented to what is important. Noted one interviewee, for instance, "I was cooking for Nancy. That may have been worse for our health than the cancer."
Shapiro acknowledges that just as some people do not survive cancer, some relationships also do not survive. But he holds out hope that couples can learn the skills that will strengthen their relationships and help them move through the crisis.
"Cancer is like a typhoon—nothing prepares you for this level of vulnerability," Shapiro said. "But we can find new bearings when we face this unknown with someone we love, someone who makes us laugh, someone who stands with us shoulder to shoulder."

I'm really thrilled to be the second stop on the blog tour of Mariah Bruehl's new book, Playful Learning. As a longtime reader of Mariah's blog, which shares the same name, I knew that the activities would be ones that my kids and I would enjoy doing together. Mariah has a background in education including teaching and writing curricula for a small private school on Long Island. Her activities are simple, yet sophisticated and she treats kids like the little explorers they are. The projects are never dumbed down; they represent the real "work" that kids love so much.
Mariah and I share a passion for creating environments that support learning, creativity, and independence for children, and I was very inspired by the chapter of the book entitled Playful Learning Spaces. I really try and incorporate the fact that I have children in every design decision I make, in fact I appreciate that because of my children I have a chance to lighten up and make some fun choices that may raise a few eyebrows in a home with no children. There are a few areas of my home that I'm rethinking after reading this book, and a few other types of spaces that I may try to add when I finish a few of my current projects.
In addition to the introductory chapters, which I truly loved (I'd love to see an entire book in the future just covering these subjects!), there are projects covering 7 subject areas, including writing, reading, math, science, art, global awareness, and social-emotional skills, aimed at children 4-8. I appreciate the breadth of the projects, because as someone who is most likely to gravitate to projects involving art, literature or cooking, it's nice to have a selection of carefully curated projects in other subject areas available. I decided to start off with a project that both of my kids could easily participate in, and something that was relevant to us right now. Because I have a 4 year old, and a nearly 8 year old, we were the perfect test group for the book's age range.
I chose the letter writing activity, for which 3 printables are included in the back of the book. The 3 variations are for the different stages of young writers (the 4 stages are explained thoroughly in the book) and I chose 1 and 2, because I knew if my youngest was having fun drawing pictures, my oldest would want to be in on the action as well (option 3 was a word only letter template).
Now, this may be the time to explain a portion of the book that I particularly liked, in which Mariah gives specific advice regarding how to attempt to engage your children in these activities. She recommends trying to fit activities organically into your life, rather than presenting your children with a slate of pre-planned activities. I have to second this advice, and add that each of you can probably figure out what method of presentation works for your particular child. My daughter loves drawing pictures for people, and actually spends a great deal of her day doing just that, so presenting her with the idea of writing her Aunt Jenny a "letter" after a visit with her yesterday, well, there wasn't a moment of hesitation. "OK, where are my markers?" she said. My son-- well, he isn't so easily swayed, so I decided not to present the idea to him at all. "What's Lucie doing?" he asked. "She's writing a letter. Oh, you want to write one? Sure, I have a piece of paper right here for you. Oh, you want to write one to Uncle Matt to thank him for taking you turtle hunting yesterday? That sounds like a great idea. Yes, that really is a marvelous turtle, so detailed. Great idea, you writing a letter too." You get the idea, you know your child and what motivates them, and it's very likely different for each child.
As in the letter writing activity, many printables for other activities are included in the back of the book, which makes the planning process much easier. There are also library books listed that complement the activities and a One Step Ahead section which includes preparation a parent can do to enrich an activity. While this book would be very useful for homeschoolers, I love that it also provides ways to supplement the education of kids who, like mine, are schooled outside of the home.
Mariah and her publisher Shambhala Publications have generously offerred a copy of Playful Learning and a spot in her upcoming e-course entitled Playful Learning Spaces. Just leave a comment for a chance to win. I'll close the comments on Thursday 8/18 at 9pm and announce the winner on Friday.

The beef checkoff recently published a white paper titled, "Animal Age, Physiological Maturity, and Associated Effects on Beef Tenderness", by J. Daryl Tatum, Ph.D., Colorado State University.
Conventional U.S. cattle-production systems are designed to provide consumers with a consistent supply of high-quality, grain-fed beef, which is preferred in current mainstream U.S. beef markets (both domestic and export). In grain-fed beef production systems, beef calves (steers and heifers) typically are reared on pastures with their dams until they are five- to eight-months old. After weaning, calves either are placed in feedlots immediately for grain finishing (as "calf-feds") or grown for a period of time on forage-based diets, until they are 12 to 18 months old, before placement in feedlots for finishing (as "yearlings" or "long-yearlings"). Grain-finished cattle produced in the United States normally are harvested between 12 and 24 months of age.
When beef carcasses are presented for quality grading, USDA graders examine visible indicators of physiological maturity, which are used to classify carcasses into maturity groups. At these young ages, steers and heifers are expected to produce A-maturity carcasses when they are graded by USDA. However, some of these cattle exhibit sufficient degrees of skeletal ossification to cause their carcasses to be classified as B-maturity or older, which significantly reduces carcass value and marketability. The purpose of this review was to examine and summarize existing scientific information concerning production-level effects on physiological maturation processes in cattle and examine the relationships of these effects to the occurrence of advanced beef carcass maturity characteristics. Click here to read the full white paper. For more information about your beef checkoff, visit MyBeefCheckoff.com.
The Beef Checkoff Program was established as part of the 1985 Farm Bill. The checkoff assesses $1 per head on the sale of live domestic and imported cattle, in addition to a comparable assessment on imported beef and beef products. States retain up to 50 cents on the dollar and forward the other 50 cents per head to the Cattlemen's Beef Promotion and Research Board, which administers the national checkoff program, subject to USDA approval.

Yay, my girls are back! My 2014 of K-pop can officially begin. Not that I ever stopped listening to K-pop, but 2014 began with a glut of girl groups all vying for attention using some sexy concept or the other. All their songs were mediocre at best and as much as I like watching sexy women, I don't like it when 'sexy' is not done right.
Good thing I don't have to worry about silly concepts from SM Entertainment (nowadays). SNSD are back with a badass look and what the teasers promised to be an edgy title track for their 4th mini-album titled 'Mr. Mr'.
Here's a track-by-track review:
1. "Mr. Mr."
First reaction? Underwhelmed. Produced by The Underdogs, an American duo most famous for their R&B productions, "Mr. Mr." has a great build up — but the chorus was a bit of an 'expectation killer'. Maybe that's because my expectations were sky high. After all, a year of waiting, and that too after the experimental "I Got A Boy," I guess SONEs were hoping to listen to a killer comeback track that would go down as one of SNSD's greatest hits.
After a few repeated listens, the song did gradually grow on me… but my enthusiasm failed to rise much. It's a good song with simple choreography, but it still does not scream: "WOW! This song is awesome!" I love the '90s vibe and the pitch changes at the end, but I'm a tiny bit disappointed to be honest.
While I appreciate the fact SM didn't film another 'inside a box' video, you have to question some of the close-ups, excessive use of filters and the stretching. Maybe SM weren't kidding when they actually lost some of the filmed data, thus delaying the MV's release.
After "The Boys," "IGAB" and now "Mr. Mr.," that's three lead singles year after a year that has largely left fans divided and me, unexcited. – 3/5
2. "Goodbye" – Written and produced by a team comprised of Lindy Robbins, Brent Paschke and Jenna Andrews, who have written music for One Direction and Selena Gomez, this is a funky au naturel song. Why do I like this song? Well, besides the laid back style, I actually heard Hyoyeon sing! I like the chorus too. – 3/5
3. "유로파 (Europa)" – Produced by SM's very own Kenzie, this mid-tempo song is has, you know, the K-pop sound. SM has been putting out singles all produced Western producers these past few years that when I hear a song that reminds of the kind of K-pop that drew me in to the genre, I just adore it all the more. – 3/5
4. "Wait a Minute" – Hyoyeon sings! Just kidding, I had to highlight the poor girl's only chance to get heard. The vibe is a follow-up from "Goodbye" and is a good song for a easy-listening session. – 3/5
5. "백허그 (Back Hug)" – The only ballad on the album, I loved Tiffany's vocals on this track. "Back Hug" is a sweet ballad reminiscent of SNSD's innocent early years and it's nice to see it on the album. I miss this SNSD. – 3.5/5
6. "Soul" – The Korean version of a Chinese track SNSD recorded for a video game, this version sounds… the same, but in Mandarin. It's an uptempo track, and despite being used as a promotional vehicle, the song has got a decent melody and I really like Sooyoung's lines, mostly because of the way she sings it. – 3/5
As for the headline – "Is this a sign the end is near?".
2014 will be SNSD's seventh year anniversary. Girls Generation are the number one girl group in K-pop, hands down. The queens of Korean pop, if you may call them that. A juggernaut when it comes to commercial success, variety talent, and endorsement deals. But judging by the quality of their Korean singles off late, you start to wonder if SM Entertainment is slowly winding down on SNSD and making way for their next, obviously much younger, girl group.
It's not just SNSD. Even TVXQ's last release "Something" failed to make much of an impact on the charts. Neither did the duo sweep the music show awards with that song. And this is TVXQ we're talking about here — they are still massive in Japan! It's as if SM isn't even trying with their senior groups, instead devoting all their money on the fresher faces like EXO, whose songs (okay, I still hate "Wolf") and albums are choc full of amazing music. I only wonder what Super Junior's comeback is going to be like.
Back to SNSD. It's been the case for the last two years, that SNSD's Japanese releases have been far superior to their Korean comebacks. Obviously the girls (and SM) make way more money in Japan from album sales than in South Korea — but come on, every K-pop fan around the world wants to hear their K-pop star sing awesome Korean songs!
Another hint I factor in to say that SNSD may see a decline or departure of a few members has been the news of Sooyoung and Yoona declaring they are in a relationship. Of course, celebrity relationships are never to be taken seriously, as given the pressures of work, many relationships don't last long. But as someone who knows so much about the members (because that's how devoted some of us SONEs are), I know Sooyoung wants marriage and children. As do other members like Hyoyeon, who is also rumoured to be in a relationship. Plus, the members are all within their mid-20s. I mean, look at their peers. Sun from Wonder Girls is a mother now and that group's future is pretty much up in the air. KARA is now down to three members and if DSP Media screws up their comeback (which knowing how messed up DSP is) will pretty much put the nail in the coffin for KARA's career. It's as though SNSD's peers are also fading away.
Maybe I'm over-reacting, but it just feels kinda sad seeing the wave of artists that first got me into K-pop now appearing to slowly ride into the sunset. Groups like SNSD can't get any bigger. It will be interesting to see what the public's reaction is to SNSD's successors. If it's going to be anything like the kind of reception EXO got, then I guess… arrrgh, I don't want to think about it!
I hope SM Entertainment has better music lined up for Girls Generation in the form of a repackage album, because their Korean lead singles have gotten quite stale. The reason why I want SNSD around goes beyond just the music. I'm not saying the following because I'm such a devoted fan, but — you can't manufacture or train rookies with what the members of SNSD have. The fact that you rarely hear about trouble within the group shows just how much the girls actually get along. SM doesn't have to deal with the headaches and negative publicity girl groups like T-ara or KARA have experienced in the past. SNSD are a gem of a group. Any entertainment company would be glad to have them, purely because the girls can rarely do any wrong. There's little in-fighting. They are dorky, hilarious, great on variety shows, multi-talented and do their job as performers with absolute professionalism. I just hope SM takes that into consideration and pushes on with Girls Generation. Because my generation of K-pop fans owes it to those girls.
My final rating for SNSD's 'Mr. Mr' – 3 out of 5 (Good)

The French overseas department of Mayotte is located in the biogeographical area of the Comoros Archipelago, at the heart of the Mozambique Channel and close to Madagascar. Mayotte hosts a variety of land and marine tropical ecosystems which are of major ecological value, despite significant landscape changes due to the exploitation of first sugar cane and later rice. Read more about Mayotte in the new Country Focus.
For its limited territory, Mayotte's natural landscape hosts a vast array of rare biodiversity. Landscapes range from tropical forests located on summits and ridges, wetlands amid alluvial plains, bays covered in mangroves, coasts outlined by coral reefs and surrounded by marine flora. Mayotte, a volcanic island more than 8 million years old, shares its flora with Madagascar and, at a regional level, it is considered as 1 of the 34 world's biodiversity hotspots.
Due to the subsidence of the island that gradually took place over the past 500,000 years, a large coral reef and lagoon surrounding the island emerged. These are exceptional for their size (1,000 km2) and for the rich biodiversity they host (more than 760 marine fishes of which 17 are threatened according to IUCN Red List of Threatened SpeciesTM, 581 marine arthropod species, more than 450 cnidaria and 24 marine mammals).
The terrestrial and marine biodiversity of Mayotte deserves special attention not only for its uniqueness but also for the high fragmentation of its natural relict habitats. Although the importance of the island's marine heritage has been recognized with the creation of a Nature Marine Park, there remains plenty of work to conserve and enhance the natural wealth of Mayotte.
Since June 2012, IUCN's French National Committee has worked to help develop a Biodiversity Strategy for Mayotte. The process has involved the participation of numerous stakeholders and the organisation of several workshops to map out how the island's rich biodiversity can be better protected.
By developing its Biodiversity Strategy, Mayotte has become a pilot for overseas departments of France both in that it has brought an example for the implementation of the national French biodiversity strategy, but also in that it has translated France's international biodiversity commitments into practice. Mayotte is also a good example for future voluntary schemes on biodiversity for Europe's overseas.
