Minzek Quality Homes
By Tina Cauller
Growing up in Michigan farm country, Jody Kuczek was always in the middle of some project, sleeves rolled up, intent on making things happen. He and his dad fixed, built, re-built, and improved as a matter of necessity and independence. At his father's side, he learned to understand and appreciate the way things work. It helped that Jody had a hefty measure of curiosity. As a kid, he once disassembled a watch to see if he could make it run backwards. To the astonishment of his parents, he succeeded.
"I have always been fascinated by building things — putting materials together to create something new. When I was about five, my parents gave me an electric train that was large enough to ride. I immediately dismantled the engine to see how it worked. My parents were horrified. They asked if I could put it back together, and I did."
Jody also remembers building a little wooden house with masking tape shingles for his grandmother, with the promise that someday he would build her a real one. She has retired, and isn't interested in a new home now, but she still delights in reminding him about the earliest days of his homebuilding career. Not too long ago, she gave him back the little house he built for her, which he keeps on display in his office. "Looking back, I realize that I have always felt a sense of pride and accomplishment in creating something lasting and beautiful."
His first real jobsite experience came at age 16, when he assumed clean-up duty for a homebuilder. After watching how things were done, Jody eventually got assigned to nearly every aspect of construction. At 19, he moved to Texas and purchased rental property. He spent the next 10 years developing DFW Property Management, and is still the co-owner and manager of more than 50 rental units. As an adult, Jody put his grasp of complex systems to work. He owned a website design company (before moving on to real estate), and writes his own software.
As a property owner, Jody immediately focused on meeting the needs of his customers, which launched his career as a home improvement renovator. At the same time, Jody worked in the service-oriented airline industry, communicating with millions of people. It further intensified his commitment to the customer and to providing top-notch service at all times.
Jody inherited his family's strong sense of integrity — doing the right thing. In the process of gutting and renovating aging properties, he developed the conviction that people deserved to live in homes that were built with pride and quality craftsmanship. The people who knew him best were confident that he was the right person to make that happen. "When I decided to go full force into new home construction I had a lot of support. My family, especially my brother-in-law, Brian encouraged me to go for it."
When he launched his own homebuilding company, Minzek Quality Homes, LLC, he put his beliefs and his experience into action, beginning with the word "quality" in his company name.
"Not every home is a 'luxury' home, but a home should be built to last regardless of the price point. My customers put their trust in me to be knowledgeable and to build with the best possible quality. I never cut corners or take shortcuts around the best construction techniques. I try to honor my clients' trust by going beyond the ordinary and expected in every aspect of my day-to-day work, giving each and every homebuyer the best possible quality in return for their investment of money and faith."
In his company name, Jody Kuczek also pays tribute to someone who believed in him. "When I set out to form a homebuilding company, one person provided the financial backing necessary for me to pursue my goal. I decided to honor him by incorporating his name into the company name along with my own. It's not important who he is, but the important opportunity he gave me made my success possible."
Like you might expect, Jody is an involved, hands-on homebuilder. He can be found on the jobsite on any given day, with his sleeves rolled up, wearing a toolbelt or painter's clothes.
"My experience with home construction and remodeling began twenty years ago and continues to be my passion. I participate in all phases of construction from the slab to the rooftop, overseeing every step to ensure a quality final product."
When a concern arises, Jody and his team tackle it head on. "It is easier to correct little details before they get overlooked and become big problems. I know that if I question anything, it needs to be addressed before we move forward." It's not unusual to see Jody on the jobsite, touching up paint or fiddling with some minute detail until he is satisfied.
Jody works with his crews and views them with respect and admiration. "It's important that we function as a team," he explains. "I work with the best professionals, who share my passion for excellent craftsmanship. We take what we do very seriously, but we also have fun together on the job."
Minzek Quality Homes succeeds in accomplishing the visions of its clients by maintaining a close rapport and constant communication with them. Jody personally attends meetings, takes notes, and listens to his customers carefully. He goes to home shows and regularly contributes innovative ideas to the creative process. He frequently helps homebuyers incorporate a salvaged architectural antique like a stained glass window, an antique door, or a one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. He welcomes the unique requests and visions of his homebuyers, because he knows that every individual touch helps elevate a house to the status of "home" — a living, personal expression of its owners' tastes, desires, and identities.
Maybe it was the airline experience, but relating to people from diverse backgrounds comes easy to Jody. To help one recent client with the process of designing their perfect home, Jody recently studied Feng Shui, the ancient Eastern philosophy of spatial design intended to create health, harmony, and balance within an environment. The elaborate discipline of Feng Shui includes numerous complex design dictates, such as clean, uncluttered lines, avoiding straight lines and sharp corners, and positioning entrances and exits to achieve the proper flow of energy. Jody embraced the challenge with the same curious enthusiasm he used to dismantle that watch three decades ago.
"Because everyone is unique, working with people is always fascinating," he notes. "They keep my job interesting. I will do whatever it takes to make my clients happy with their new home. I enjoy building relationships and friendships with them as much as I enjoy building their homes." He adds, "I feel so fortunate, because I look forward to every day. Homebuilding is not a job for me. I like every aspect of what I do — absolutely everything. Not many people can say that."

I suspect President Trump was fully aware of this all along. Now he has given Abbas the benefit of the "doubt", and been burned before the public....leaving him free to act in a way which favours Israel.
I agree. Trump isn't the type to blindly enter a negotiation. I think this was his expected outcome. Everything else is theatrics.
the crowd that still doesn't have a clue about how Trump negotiates continue to sound as clueless as the MSM

What is IOStoken (IOST Coin)?
IOST Coin Price
What Is IOST Coin | A Quick Overview
IOST Coin is focused on something called the "internet of services" which is a decentralized solid infrastructure for online service providers. With high transactions per second, privacy protection, and scalability they see infinite possibilities for online service providers.
The History of IOSToken
IOSToken put out their first article on Medium on January 3rd, 2018 where they explained what the Internet-of-services is and the main concept behind IOST coin.
They launched not with a public token sale, but with an independent private sale that was an institution where China, Korea, and the U.S. were not allowed.
Otherwise, since then they have been in development, but do not have a full-scale working product yet.
The Roadmap of IOST Coin
At this point, there is no clear roadmap for IOSToken
The IOST Coin Team
Yannan (Terrence) Wang - Linkedin - Co-Founder and CTO
Co-founder and CTO at IOST | blockchain pioneer | Princeton UChicago UMN | Uber Microsoft (from Linkedin).
Jimmy Zhong - Linkedin - Co-Founder

IOST Coin Media
Twitter - Linkedin - Medium - Website
IOST Coin White Paper
Total Coin Supply
The Purpose of IOSToken
IOSToken set out to fix a few issues in the crypto ecosystem.
The first being the fact that scalability and the increasing challenge for networks to join and handle a capacity of transactions on the blockchain is only increasing.
Secondly, they wanted to create a more fair and sustainable form of consensus.
That way the energy that is typically required for proof-of-work mining isn't wasted, and proof-of-stake can't be manipulated.
What they came up with is IOSToken and its proof-of-believability type of consensus (which we will get into in the features section).
And together, the way that IOSToken operates is connecting these service providers to serve their customer base ultimately.
The Features of IOST Coin
Improved Scalability Using Three Technologies
Partitioning state for multiple groups handled in parallel.
An atomic-swap protocol that helps enforce consistency among cross-shard transactions.
BRDR - Bias Resistant Distributed Randomness
This is one of the ways that the IOS network will be more fair, by introducing unbiased randomness into the network.
Based on contribution to the network, the behavior of the node, and a default inputted randomness; this creates a consensus mechanism that anything can use.
It is a way to fight against the energy that proof-of-work costs and the systems that proof-of-stake can create.
It uses an intrashard believable-first consensus mechanism. These believable validators process transactions quickly in the first phase. The believability score is made from token balance, contributions to the community, reviews, and many other indicators.
Then in the second phase, normal validators sample and verify the transaction.
And after the rest of the process takes hold, the transaction is complete, and the consensus is achieved.
The IOSToken Ecosystem
This is a triangle based system of intercommunication between the IOST network.
HUDS - A way for the IOS ecosystem to provide a decentralized, secured, searchable, efficient and economical storage mechanism.
dApps and Smart Contracts - The centerpiece of the ecosystem, allowing developers to have the stability and high concurrency from the IOS virtual machine and develop in mainstream programming languages.
Fair and Transparent Feedback System - Being fair, they want to allow users to provide feedback on the service. This is then designed to be verified feedback and honor the believability of the system.
What We Think of IOST Coin
On a large scale, IOST coin is aiming to create a network meant specifically for service providers and addressing their concerns.
The proof-of-reliability algorithm trips us up though, as it is trying something completely new without prior testing and with no working version.
As the product is released, we will be able to see if the PoB model holds up or not. For service providers and their customer's speed, scalability, and trust are crucial. And that is what IOST coin seems to be trying to accomplish.
Otherwise, we do not currently hold this coin and will be looking at it in the future.

If you are seeking a Dentist West Columbia SC, there are many things you require to consider. To begin with you need to compare different dental experts, to make sure that you recognize when you have found the very best one. The very best method to review dental practitioners is actually to look at individual benefits and drawbacks of each, as well as also to be sure that each one is actually appropriately applied for any kind of plus all functions that you might possess done with all of them.
Any dental professional that you utilize ought to possess a degree in dentistry, probably sourced coming from among the ten permitted dental universities in Canada: the College of Toronto, Dalhousie, British Columbia, Western Ontario, Laval, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Montreal as well as McGill. Clearly they can possess acquired levels from somewhere else, however the overall certification should coincide as that offered through those educational institutions.
The overall DDS level is actually the one which very most dental practitioners will possess, although being a Medical Professional of Oral Medication is appropriate also. If you intend to find out which dental practitioners possess certification and added qualifications to work even more expert treatments, you need to see to it that they have qualifications coming from the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, the RCDC. The principal exam that they need to have passed is the National Dental Specialty Physical Exam, the NDSE.
To understand that you are going for just the most professional as well as reliable of dental practitioners, keep an eye out for an Alliance in the Royal College of Dentists of Canada, as this presents extra quality on their part. There is likewise accreditation which may be had in between dental practitioners of New Zealand and also Canada, which enables all of them to work in either country.
General assessments are managed due to the NDEB, the National Dental Examining Board of Canada, therefore this ought to be actually pertained to when looking into various qualifications that dentists should possess, while additional accreditation is actually viewed due to the Payment on Dental Certification of Canada. Dentists should be licensed on both state and also federal degree.
It is the Royal University of Dentists of Canada that will definitely make sure that dental experts possess applicable credentials to perform professional operations in dentistry, as well as a M.Sc. or even PhD is needed.
There is actually also rural guideline which you may look at also, as this is actually demanded for different districts to check out dental experts all at once, to ensure they are actually operating as they should. There are regulations of strategy to be observed, and also basic requirements of reliability within the place of work, so any kind of dentist should observe these certain procedures also.
Overall any kind of dentist you choose need to be actually specialist, and also if their credentials are actually not immediate then they must certainly not be against sharing them along with you – besides it is actually merely the wise trait to accomplish to examine the specific credentials of each engaging in dental professional, especially if you are actually exploring having actually specialist work done.
If you are actually not sure of any kind of dental practitioner then look around as well as find what contending dental professionals in your location offer. Compare certifications between dental professionals, and also if you are ever before not sure of whether a dental professional is actually skillfully qualified sufficient to accomplish deal with you, at that point you should most likely to some of the accreditation panels mentioned to become specific. It is actually regularly a sensible transfer to check if you are actually ever unsure, therefore perform certainly not lose time to take a look and observe, specifically if you are made a reservation for to have actually certain operations finished with a certain specific dental practitioner actually.

My Once Upon A Time Chipboard Album
I am so happy that I finally finished my Once Upon A Time chipboard album. This has been an 8-month process and I almost gave up and didn't finish the album. After putting it away for a few months, I decided to start on it again and somehow found the inspiration to finish it.
The album is 9.5 x 11 inches and it is very heavy. It will be kept in a keepsake box to protect the decoration on the album. I used a lot of Tim Holtz and Stampin' Up! dies to decorate the pages. It was too difficult for me to cover the DCWV paper that I used in the whole album, because the designs were just too pretty.
I know that compared to some of the albums that you see on the internet, mine is not even as beautiful as what the others have posted on YouTube; but I am quite happy and proud of what I have achieved in the whole process of putting it together.
I hope you all check it out and see if you like my album. Hopefully it will give you some ideas on how to decorate yours.
Do some crafting with your kids, grandkids, etc. and create some great memories! XO!
Altered Clothespin and Christmas Tags for your Gift Bags
Screen/Panel Card
I am so happy to be chosen as one of the many talented monthly contributors for Diecut Crazy Magazine and this screen panel card below, is my first project submission. Our theme for the month of July is "Summer". I have to admit that I was just a bit perplexed. I didn't have any stamp sets with a summer theme. The majority of my dies are for Halloween, fall, Christmas and spring. I had to look back at some of my past projects and for some reason I couldn't find any inspiration that would perfectly describe summer.
In my opinion, summer is all about spending quality time with my husband and kids, traveling around, barbecues, loving the longer daylight, playing with pinwheels, kites, picking flowers, bird-watching and just generally enjoying the great outdoors! So I decided to capture these moments and showcase it through this Screen/Panel Card. The sentiment that I used for this card is exactly what summer is all about ~ it doesn't have to be perfect to be WONDERFUL!
Supplies and Tools I used:
Screen/Panel Card – 6 x 12 Card Stock (on the 12-inch side, score at 3 inches, 6 and 9). This will create the screen.
All Four Panels (Card Stock)
Bottom Layer: 2 3/4″ x 4 1/2″
Middle Layer: 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Top Layer: 2 1/4″ x 4″
Stamp Sets – Perfect Pennants Stamp set, For the Birds Stamp set, Sweetie Pie Stamp set
Pinwheel sizzlit die
Decorative Punch (I used this punch to create the "legs" of the screen)

Gatefold Shutter Card
When I saw this video posted by France Martin, I immediately wanted to recreate this card and share with my subscribers. I thought this card is not only unique, but also stylish. I wanted to make my version a lot easier and I hope I achieved that on this video. I chose a simple black and white color scheme and I thought it turned out so pretty.
Materials Used:
Card Base — Very Vanilla Card Stock — cut at 8 ½ by 5 ½, then score at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8
Shutter — Basic Black card stock (2 pieces) — cut at 3 ½ by 4. On the 4 inch side, score both pieces at ½ inch. Then on 3 ½ side pencil mark at 1 ¾ then mark at 2 inches to find the center so you can cut the fish tail for the shutter.
Center Piece — Basic Black card stock — cut at 3 by 5 ½. DSP cut at 2 ¾ x 5 1/4 . Adhere together using your TG or tombow glue. Use your large circle punch or circle framelits to cut a hole on the middle piece. This will create the window to your shutter card.
Shutter DSP — DSP cut at 5 ¼ by 1 7/8.
Bellyband — 1 by 11 inches. Fold on your card to create the bellyband. Don't make it too tight so it can still slide in and out. Decorate according to your style.
Score board and scoring tool or stylus
Bone Folder
Stampin Dimensionals or foam dots
Mini Glue Dots
Adhesive (tape runner of Tombow glue)
Circle Framelits (about 1 ¾ inch. In diameter)
Pansy Punch
Boho Blossoms Punch
Petite Petals Punch
Easter Egg Treat Holder
This treat holder is so cute, you can basically create this for any occasion. I love the new Scallop Tag Topper Punch but if you don't have the punches that I have on this video, please use what you have. This is just an example and you can use other punches to create a decorative edge to your card stock. I have used my decorative label punch, scallop punch and even my blossom punch. You just need to insert the edge of your card stock to your punch, line it up slowly to make sure the card stock is in the middle of the image, then punch! Easy, peasy!

French Maid Minion Card – A Blooms and Butterflies Color Challenge No. 22
The Blooms & Butterflies Team was given a task to create a card using the colors Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray and Daffodil Delight. It is indeed very challenging. I have made a Minion Card before and it is my most pinned creation on Pinterest. I thought the color combination will be perfect to create a French Maid Minion Card. So here it is. I have made some adjustments to the card. I noticed on the photo that the glue dots were showing a little bit so I managed to tuck it in, and also fixed the Minion's hair so it doesn't show.

Great villa in a great location
Smashing villa with everything you could wish for and more. Pictures hardly do it justice. A short distance out of town in a pristine development with it's own restaurant. Another highly regarded restaurant 10 minute walk from villa. 5 Euro taxi trip into town. Supermarket 2 minute drive from villa. Easy booking process with the helpful owner. Lucky enough to have experienced this sort of holiday many times in various locations around the world - Villa Victoria rates very highly.
Hi Mick,
I would like to thank you for your review, and i am very pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Villa Victoria. It is always nice to know that our guests have had an enjoyable holiday. I hope that we can welcome you again in the not to distant future.
Best wishes,
Perfect Five Star Luxury
We booked Villa Victoria back in August 17 to treat our daughter for her 18th Birthday in March 18.
I cannot recommend this villa enough. This is the first time we have ever privately booked a villa and I was apprehensive as you hear so many bad stories when privately booking.
Alan was very helpful, understanding and responded to email queries on the day, which put our minds at ease.
When we arrived we contacted Paul as instructed on how to gain access to the Villa. He was responsive and very helpful too. We were also able to stay at the Villa longer than the normal time to leave, due to how late our departure flights were to come home.
Upon arrival at the Villa we were more than impressed. The pictures do not do the villa justice... Even thou the pictures look amazing, to actually see in person was incredible.
The villa had everything we needed and more. Every utensil you can think of was there along with the nice touch of bottle of wine, milk, crisps and dips to start the holiday and ample amount of towels. The villa was immaculate and extremely well kept and clean. The TV package/Internet was better than we have at home. Every channel you can imagine, sports, movies, entertainment, children's channels etc.. The villa has it all.
We did have to work on some days, and to have the reliable and speedy internet was the cherry on the cake for us..
I really could write a book on how incredible and amazing our holiday was and extra special for my daughter's 18th. To top it off the weather in the day was very hot considering it was March..
Location - Perfect
Villa Victoria - Perfect
Holiday - Perfect
Booking again - Absolutely
Thank you once again Alan for your time you spent talking to me and reassuring us before we arrived. I cannot WAIT to return for three weeks next year in the summer.
Marie & Andy
Hi Marie and Andy,
I am so pleased that you found our villa exactly what you had hoped for when you made your reservation. We do our best to make sure our guests have as much an enjoyable time as possible when on holiday.
Our villa managers ( Paul and Kristy ) are great, and they will do everything they can to look after you while you are at the villa.
We look forward very much to welcoming you again on your next visit to Corralejo.
Many thanks,
Bloomin fantastic.
As frequent villa stayers, we generally know what the standard is for what you pay.
We are half way through a relaxing break at Villa Victoria, and by golly what a lovely villa we are staying in!!
As we are self employed we have to book at short notice when our diary's allow us, so we literally booked days in advance and the communication was first rate. Alan replied within hours of our first correspondence, and then within minutes of our follow up mail.
The booking, the emails the calls were effortless and easy. The welcome email & directions were perfect.
On arrival, I have to be honest I expected it to be small and not as impressive as we were on a row of about 10/12 villas, when we opened the door, MY GOODNESS, WHAT A TREAT. as with most villas, a kitchen, diner & living area were all standard on entry, but as soon as you opened the patio doors (2 to every room) you were greeted with a fantastic sun trap with a beautiful pool, it suited us perfectly as we enjoy our music and as we were so enclosed it couldent be heard by neighbours.
Climb the steps and you are greeted with a brilliant roof terrace with sun-loungers, tables & chairs and brick BBQ (with coals) and a fantastic hot tub.
All in all this villa is brilliant for us.
The town is about a a 40 minute stroll or less than 5 euros in a cab.
Couple of semi negatives.
Could do with a full length mirror.
Couldn't get the TV working, but to be fair we just hooked up our tablet to the TV.
Bed wasnt in keeping with the rest of the villa, not really comfortable for us.
I highly recommend this villa for a family of 4 or 2 couples who want to get away from it.
Hi Alan,
Many thanks for your review.
I am very pleased that overall you like the villa and it's facilities. We do try to make sure that the villa is as much home from home as possible.
I also take note of your comments regarding the full length mirror, and this will be sorted.
We have also just ordered a new TV system, which will make the operation easier, and will include UK TV, SKY etc.
I hope that you continue to enjoy your holiday, and hope to welcome you back on a future visit.
Best wishes,
Great villa
Everything possibly needed is provided, home from home! The villa and surrounding areas was very clean as was the pool and jacuzzi! Great family holiday! Alan and agents Chris and Janet are great, very accommodating.
Hi Caroline,
I am very pleased that you and your family enjoyed the villa, and had a great holiday. I hope that when you return to Corralejo you will allow us to welcome you and your family to our villa again.
Best wishes,
Villa Victoria was fantastic and I would highly recommend. From the first enquiry Alan the owner was fantastic and put me at ease. The instructions for the villa was great.
The villa is a short taxi ride from the strip which it cost 5.00 euro. The villa is great and we had great days around the pool, fun in the hot tub and a bbq. Everything you need to get you started in a villa we got wine and biscuits which was a nice touch.
We have never done a villa holiday before but will doing one again and maybe returning for a second time.
The rooms are brilliant as they all have en suites.
We had an issue with the air con whilst we were away and the managers were fantastic.
Top holiday, top villa!!! We will be returning.
Thank you very much Alan.
Fantastic Villa
We recently returned from a 2 week stay at this villa with our 2 teenage children and have to say it was one of the best holiday villas we have stayed in. The description was completely accurate in fact it was better than described. Obviously the WiFi was a big hit with the kids, the salt water pool made a nice change from chlorine soaked eyes and the hot tub was a dream for all. We had 2 "minor" issues one of which was the pool was not completely clear for the 2 weeks we stayed due to a sand storm that happened the day before our arrival although the local manager did clean the pool twice. The other strange thing we found was that the 3rd bedroom could only be reached from the pool – no interior access – fine for our teenage daughter as it can be locked from the inside – but that was our other issue that the lock did not work but again not a major issue that spoiled the holiday in anyway. The on-site restaurant provide breakfast and dinner and is well worth a visit as the quality of the food and service is exceptional. Although the buffet breakfast seem a little pricey at €14 per head it is worth every cent. Corralejo is a 10 minute drive to the main strip where you will find plenty of shops and restaurants – the beaches and dunes are well worth a visit – but beware if you have children as naturists are allowed on some beaches!
Corralejo ist ein traumhafter Ort für Urlauber jedes Alters. Das Wetter ist das ganze Jahr über optimal für Sommer- und Winterferien. Die Strände zählen zu den feinsten Stränden der Welt, mit golden Sand und türkisgrünem klarem Wasser. Corralejo Altstadt ist voll von schönen lokalen Restaurants, die eine großartige Auswahl an internationalen und lokalen Speisen anbietet. Die Hauptstraße zählt viele traditionellen Bars und Restaurants, die meistens Unterhaltung abends anbieten. Corralejo bietet viele Aktivitäten für Familien an, bzw. Erlebnisbäder, Bowling, Spielhalle, Bootsausflüge, Surfen, Segeln, Angeln, Markttage, Einkaufszentren, usw.

Back Bay
The Back Bay, originally a bay of water, is now one of the most prestigious neighborhoods in Boston. It consists of an alphabetically organized block of nine streets crossing five thoroughfares: Beacon, Marlborough, Commonwealth, Newbury, and Boylston. Beacon, Marlborough and Commonwealth are impressive, residential tree-lined streets, while Boylston and Newbury Streets are home to the city's most exclusive shopping. The Back Bay contains some of Boston's most recognizable buildings and attractions. These include: the Trinity Church, Hancock Tower, the beautifully landscaped Public Garden, and the Victorian brownstones that represent quintessential Boston architecture.
Back Bay Buyer Testimonial:
"Ariel Szabo worked with us as a buyers agent in the Back Bay. When we first began looking for a new home in Boston with her, we found a property we wanted, but lost out to another offer. Because of Ariel's persistence and dedication in finding us the perfect place, she was able to find a unit in the same building for us to see that was not even on the market. This particular unit did not work for us, so we continued our search. When we finally found a home we loved, Ariel provided us with information on comparable sales and market conditions so that we could make an informed decision about how much to offer. The transaction had some challenges but Ariel successfully negotiated on our behalf to come to a reasonable agreement in order to move forward with the purchase. We appreciated her persistence, patience, and attention to our questions and concerns throughout the process. Not only is Ariel a skilled real estate agent, but she is also very personable, making her a pleasure to do business with."- Michael and Tracy

A photographer named Wolfram Hahn created a photo series of children watching television.
The children depicted in this series are between three and twelve. Their regards are sad, with facial expressions rather to be associated with adults, unusual for children this age. They regard a spot below the camera; focusing on something in that space not revealed to the viewer. As such they seem lifeless like dolls, or bodies bereft of their spirits.
You can see the photos at his web site. An article was written about it in Art In America.
The photos hit me because I have a four-year-old brother who watches at least three hours of television a day. It's usually educational programs on PBS or Noggin, but regardless of their value they still co-opt his imagination and train him to take cues from marketers. When he enters a supermarket, he asks for specific brands that are advertised on television and knows exactly where to get them.
A lot of us in our late 20's are caught up in this multi-task / short-attention span culture, but at least we were spared the most harmful effects of television growing up. All I had to look forward as a kid was Saturday morning cartoons, but these days there are several channels that offer video crack to kids using the latest advances in psychology and brainwashing. I'm afraid that my brother's brain will be wired differently than mine, and since I'm not his parent there is not much I can do about it.

No Arrests After Second Day of School Threats
No arrests have been made after two straight days of threats against schools in our area.
Threats of weaponized violence were called into Marie-Rivier Catholic Secondary, LCVI, KCVI, and Holy Name Catholic School in Kingston, as well as Rideau District High School in Elgin, leading to lock downs and hold and secures, Thursday.
This happened a day after similar incidents played out at Regi, Holy Cross, and Bayridge Secondary.
Kingston Police Media Officer Cam Mack urges parents to trust their school, the school board, and the police that they are doing everything they can to make sure schools are safe.
The person behind a recently-created Twitter account is still claiming responsibility for the threats, and police are still urging everyone not to interact with the account.
Kingston Police are also asking parents to not attend any school while it is in lockdown for the safety of staff and students while officers respond to these incidents.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kingston Police 613-549-4660. Anonymous tips can also be shared with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Jan 25, - Use our fat-bike buyer's guide to choose the best for you. where it's snowy or wet, or where riding a regular-tire mountain bike is futile, not fun.
This provides a good balance of grip and durability. While plenty of riders choose pedal road bike matched pair of tires for both wheels, we feel there is good mountain bike fat tire to run a different tire for each. Many tires have been optimized mountain bike fat tire use on either the front or back wheel, although you're likely to see some riders out on the trail riding them otherwise.
The front tire is responsible lily bikes cornering and needs to respond appropriately to the forces translated to it in order to remain on your intended line.
A wider front tire will also help you stay on mountain bike fat tire, as more of the tire is in contact with obstacles, and will deflect less than a narrower tire.
Front tires often feature monutain knobs to improve rolling resistance.
Mountain bike fat tire front tire mountai not suffer as much drag and therefore it is common to see riders elect a big knobby tire up front and a smoother looking tire for the rear. In fact, many riders garmin retailers near me mountain bike fat tire worn-out front tires as rear tires. We feel differences in tread pattern and knob spacing make a rear specific tire a better bet, but alas, it's not the worst option and easier on the wallet.
You'll wear through a rear tire faster though, so the timing is kinda funky for tre approach.
A rear tire typically has horizontal knobs running across the tire. Much like the track on a snowmobile, these knobs provide traction and prevent the rear wheel fort cycles spinning under large pedaling forces such as when climbing a loose hill. There's a lot more technology mountain bike fat tire on in a tire than it appears. Did anyone else get scolded by their parents for leaving foot skid marks on the driveway by locking specialized bikes precios that coaster brake at top speed on your first bike?
Well, after an afternoon of driveway graffiti skid school, you might have succeeded in wearing a rear tire down to the "threads. Just like those Egyptian cotton sheets, tires have a thread count too.

Maisie Williams stands out at Wimbledon 2019 with 'boyfriend' after Sophie Turner wedding
MAISIE WILLIAMS, who starred as Arya Stark in HBO series Game of Thrones, stood out from the crowd with her rumoured boyfriend Reuben Selby at Wimbledon today, just days after her Game of Thrones co-star Sophie Turner tied the knot with Joe Jonas.
Game of Thrones beauty Maisie Williams, 23, opted for a pink jumpsuit which colour coordinated with her vibrant hair colour. Adding more colour to her look, the actress wore a pink jacket tied around her waist and held onto a bright orange bag. Maisie completed her causal appearance with oversized sunglasses and white trainers. The actress attended day seven of the Wimbledon Tennis Championships alongside her rumoured boyfriend Reuben Selby, 22.
He sported a white T-shirt with a navy blazer, also colour coordinating with his blue hair colour.
The pair posed for pictures with their arms placed around each other's backs.
Their appearance at Wimbledon comes just days after the duo attended Sophie and Joe's wedding.
Sophie Turner, 23, and Joe Jonas, 29, tied the knot for the second time at a lavish ceremony in France earlier this month.
It is believed Maisie acted as Sophie's maid of honour.
For her wedding attire, Maisie braved a braless look as she sported a plunging white blazer.

The actress' revealing outfit also gave her 11.9 million followers a glimpse of her well-defined pins.
Ensuring he coordinated with his rumoured girlfriend, Rueben wore a similar blazer, with a T-shirt and white trousers.
Standing out from the crowd, the duo sported bright pink hair.
Maisie shared a picture of the pair outside the venue with the caption: "White party for the bride and groom."
Many of her social media fans flocked to her page to comment, with many insisting the picture confirmed the pair are dating.
One user commented: "Jeez, been waiting for this the whole time!"
"You both are gorgeous," a second added.
"Waiting for your wedding party," a third penned.
A fourth added: "I hope you two have a nice time."
Maisie and Reuben are yet to confirm or deny if they are dating, despite various pictures of the pair uploaded to Reuben's Instagram page.
Back in August Reuben shared a picture of Maisie to celebrate the launch of her app Daisie.
In view of his 13,000 followers, he commented: "We launched!!! @daisieapp. @maisie_williams photographed by me."
Reuben also uploaded a cosy picture of the pair smiling for the camera at an event back in March.

Moderator: Commissar D, the Evil
its also my understanding that the germans made the MG the focus of squad doctrine..they understood that a crew served weapon performed better under combat stress becuase you had a partner to "help you" pull the trigger..the remainder of the squad besides a couple to feed ammo to the MG was aligned to protect the MG,with the squad second in command in charge of this half dozen or so...on another note,about BoB,quote "elemenst of the 1st and 6th SS panzers divisions have broken through in the ardennes"DrCruel wrote:.
German soldiers weren't especially good. Their doctrine was. US tactical doctrine was terrible, and even worse in practice - Gwynne Dyer quoted a figure done by US Army researchers during WW II, that found that only 15%-25% of US soldiers in a firefight would so much as shoot their weapons, let alone engage the enemy. Of these, 9 out of ten shots were not even fired at any discernable targets - just cover fire, or to make noise. By contrast, virtually all German soldier would engage the enemy - because, instead of engaging the enemy directly like his US counterpart, a German squad-level NCO would go from man to man and direct their fire. Likewise Germans always aggressively patrolled their area, no matter how weak their manpower was; Americans rarely did. Again, an NCO issue and a matter of employed doctrine.
Just to be able to launch an offensive on the scale of the ardennes counterstroke after 5 years of war was quite an accomplishment...and they did achieve some measure of success with 5th panzer army actually reaching the Meuse.Rob S. wrote:But one thing we can't dismiss is that despite knowledge of the impending loss the Germans managed to pull off quite a fight. I believe your accusations are unfounded considering you already admit to the fighting skill of the average American GI.
With this, I heartily agree. About the only saving grace of this travesty is that I learned the words and tune of the "Panzerlied" from it!infantryscout wrote:Battle of the Bulge with Henry Fonda is the worst!!!

Labor has high hopes of winning the final federal seat of Herbert, where vote counting is expected to wrap up on Saturday.
The Australian Electoral Commission is conducting a full distribution of preferences in the north Queensland seat, which is the last to be determined following the July 2 election.
The last official figures put Labor candidate Cathy O'Toole 35 votes ahead of the sitting coalition MP Ewen Jones.
Acting Labor leader Tanya Plibersek, who visited Townsville on Friday for the 50th anniversary of the Lavarack Barracks, said the party was watching the count "with enormous interest".
"Our hopes are great, but of course the result hasn't yet been declared and we'll wait with interest until it is officially declared," Ms Plibersek said.
She declined to say whether Labor was concerned about a possible legal challenge by the Liberal National Party.
The LNP could seek a Court of Disputed Returns ruling to void the election result and run a fresh election.
It is claimed some soldiers from Lavarack Barracks missed out on voting while they were on Exercise Hamel in South Australia during the election campaign.
As well, a number of Townsville hospital patients are also believed not to have been given the opportunity to vote.
If Labor wins the seat, it will have 69 MPs to the coalition's 76 in the 150-seat lower house, which sits for the first time on August 30.
So far, 122 out of 150 seats have been formally declared.
Counting in the Senate continues, with the NT, ACT and Tasmania declared and more states expected to follow next week.

- For example, if there are 50 boys in a school and the total number of students is $200$ then, for finding percentage of boys why do we do like this, $\left(\, 50/200\, \right)100\ \% = 25\ \%$ ?.
- Why does the fraction '$50/200$' represent ?. I know 'percentage' means out of $100$ but $50/200$ is not representing $50$ out of hundred ?.
$\begingroup$ $25$% or $25$ for each $100$. For example if we have $50$ seniors and $200$ high school students, then we have $25$ seniors for each $100$ high school students, and that is $25$% seniors. $\endgroup$ – Ahmed S. Attaalla Sep 4 '16 at 3:24
$\begingroup$ Multiplying by $100\%$ equals to multiplying by $ 100 × 1/100$, that is $1$, and that is doing nothing. Instead, try to "factor out" a $1/100$ term just as you can swap "1 mile" and "1.609 km" in any physics equation. So: $50/200=25/100 = 25 × 1/100 = 25\%$. $\endgroup$ – JnxF Sep 4 '16 at 3:31
$\begingroup$ Per cent means for every 100. So we multiply by 100 to see how much we get for one group of 100. $\endgroup$ – Tac-Tics Sep 4 '16 at 3:59
$\begingroup$ Because "percent" means $\frac{1}{100}$. $\endgroup$ – barak manos Sep 4 '16 at 4:52
$\begingroup$ 50/200 is not representing 50 out of 100 because 50/200 is not 50%. It is 25 % and it absolutely does indeed represent 25 out of 100. $\endgroup$ – fleablood Sep 4 '16 at 5:38
What you are solving is $$\dfrac{50}{200} = \dfrac{x}{100}$$
Which becomes $$x= 100\times \dfrac{50}{200}$$
When you take a portion and divide it by the whole, you create a value that must always be less than or equal to 1.
Let $w$ represent the whole.
Let $p$ represent the portion such that $p \underline{<} w$.
Therefore, $\frac{p}{w} \underline{<} 1$.
When $\frac{p}{w}$ is multiplied by 100, you're just scaling the decimal to I guess what you might consider a more user-friendly, comprehensive value. The ratio is still the same, of course.
The word percent actually comes from the Latin per centum, which means per one hundred. So instead of visualizing data in terms of values greater than $100$, such as in your case, ratios can be scaled to a denominator of $100$, simplifying all data to a more comprehensible manner.
$50$%, $75$%, and $90$% are easier to compare than $\frac{2234}{4468}$, $\frac{2935929}{3914572}$, and $\frac{37901171181738.6}{42112412424154}$. By multipling these fractions by $100$, they are set standardized and thus much easier to compare and contrast with other standardized values.

Judge Approves $500,000 Fine Against Erie Coke in Pollution Case
Last September, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sued Erie Coke over plumes of benzene emissions. On Friday, U.S. District Judge Barbara J. Rothstein approved the $500,000 fine.
The benzene leaks have gone unchecked and unrepaired since an environmental inspection at the plant in November 2010 and in March 2015. The continuing leaks violate the Clean Air Act.
The company only has 30 days to pay the substantial fine. If the decree's requirements are not met, it could be charged penalties of $250 to $1,500 per day until the leaks are fixed. But this isn't Erie Coke's first violation by far.
Under a 2010 decree, the company paid a $4 million fine and made improvements worth about $15 million after state regulators threatened to shut the plant down. An additional decree in 2011 required Erie Coke to pay $300,000.
Many people are unaware of the danger of benzene exposure. It is a widely used chemical in many industries and products, but has been linked to a number of life-threatening illnesses including Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS), lymphomas and Aplastic Anemia. Workers in jobs that utilize benzene are in particular danger of toxic levels of exposure due to their close proximity to the chemical at much higher levels and for longer periods of time.
Occupations that have high risk of benzene exposure include printers, steel workers, pipefitters, dock and offshore workers, petroleum refining and extraction, carpet cleaners, floor layers, and many more. If you or a loved one were exposed to benzene and have been diagnosed with AML, MDS, lymphoma or Aplastic Anemia, contact a Beasley Allen attorney as soon as possible to learn your legal rights.

Zanzibar acts to rectify marine disaster mess
Friday September 7 2012
passenger and cargo ferry services. Many a time, the government has taken the flak for allegedly doing little to end lawlessness, corruption and unprofessionalism—all of these singled out as the cause of frequent marine accidents.
On the first anniversary of the sinking of MV Spice Islander 1 tomorrow, this blot on Zanzibar's history appears to have rattled authorities.
The government is set to unveil, later in the year, new rules it hopes will open a new and clean chapter. In both Pemba and Unguja, there is a palpable sense of urgency in the government as well as the private sector, both seeking ways to put a close to the tainted image of the country's marine sub-sector.
The issue has become even more urgent in the wake of a damning report by the commission of inquiry into the sinking of MV Spice Islander 1 on the night of September 9, 2011, killing a record 1,529 people. The accident at Nungwi was followed by another on July 19 this year in which 136 people were killed when MV Skagit capsized at Pungume.
The commission headed by Judge Abdulhakim Ameir Issa not only confirmed the huge death toll in the Nungwi disaster but also unearthed the rot that has turned some local marine vessels into potential death traps.
The minister of State for Disaster Management, Mr Mohammed Aboud Mohamed, told The Citizen on Saturday that the government was serious in its resolve to reverse the poor state of marine transport infrastructure.
"We are reviewing the laws and will also invest directly in adequate and competent personnel and equipment," Mr Mohammed said. "As a government, we have said enough is enough and never again under our watch shall Zanzibar suffer disasters that can be avoided."
According to the minister, efforts are underway to implement the recommendations in Judge Issa's commission of inquiry report, with priority going to law enforcement, supply of equipment, personnel training and rapid disaster response.
A task force is already drafting new marine regulations expected to come into force this year. The new rules could spell doom for most of the companies that operate vessels in Zanzibar. "We are, for example, proposing to ban vessels more than 15 years old," Mr Aboud revealed.
This move may be a reaction to the fact that the ill-fated MV Spice Islander had been in operation for more than 44 years while MV Skagit and its twin MV Kalama were sold to a local company in 2011 after being retired in the US state of Seattle.
The operations of Seagull, the firm running MV Skagit and MV Kalama, have been suspended pending a wider inspection of all its vessels.
Vessel registration and operating requirements will now be uniform across Zanzibar and Tanzania mainland to avoid shifting of responsibility between the Zanzibar Maritime Authority and the Surface and Marine Transport Authority (Sumatra).
Zanzibar has also approved a plan to buy a new passenger and cargo ferry boat to ply the Pemba route. The boat, according to the Zanzibar Shipping and Agency Corporation general manager, Captain Masudi Sururu, will carry 1,000 people, 130 vehicles and an additional 200 tonnes of cargo.
Minister Aboud said the ferry would be bought at Sh17.6 billion and would arrive in mid-2013. "The government will raise all the funds for this ship in collaboration with the People's Bank of Zanzibar and the Zanzibar Social Security Fund."
With a small economic base, the government was forced to squeeze ministerial budgets to raise the money for the new ferry. It faces a herculean task trying to raise another $70.6 million (nearly Sh113 billion) required to establish a modern rescue and disaster response system. A joint team from the relevant public agencies came up with the budget.
According to the commission of inquiry, casualties in the MV Spice Islander accident went up due to a slow response to distress calls and ultimately poor communication and rescue facilities.
Mr Aboud has since given an assurance that the isles government will work closely with the Union government and donor countries to ensure proper infrastructure is in place as soon as possible.
"We have negotiated with Israel that has agreed to help us carry out a thorough survey of our waters so that we can pick a suitable area to locate a modern and fully equipped communication and command centre for rapid rescue missions," said the minister.
An official document seen by The Citizen on Saturday proposes that a central command centre be established to coordinate all sea rescue and surveillance. It includes a list of equipment that costs a total of Sh113 billion.The equipment proposed for the command centre include a helicopter, two fire fighting boats, 10 ambulances, eight rescue speed boats, 20 resuscitation equipment, underwater cameras, power saws and GPS facilities.
A central command centre, according to the Zanzibar Commissioner for Fire and Rescue Services, Mr Ali Maalimussy, is critical to avoid confusion and disjointed responses. While some boats donated by the US were available during last year's tragedy, they could not be deployed for lack of fuel.
The port of Zanzibar has no emergency post or a passenger terminal despite being high on the hazard list. "Such a post would prevent some of the common mistakes and enforce safety rules," explained Mr Maalimussy. His agency had warned of the poor state of MV Spice I slander1 long before it sank but no one paid attention.
It is negligence such as this that a new-look Zanzibar Marine Authority is promising to address, besides putting in structures to enforce the proposed regulations. The authority's acting director-general, Mr Abdullah Kombo, said an acute shortage of staff and lack of autonomy had impeded work such as ship inspections, licensing and training.
"The government has released funds to employ three more inspectors for a total of five. We will also, from this financial year, run as an independent body with a complete work programme," noted Mr Kombo, who doubles as the director for planning, policy and research at the ministry of Infrastructure and Communication.
Mr Kombo said the agency will not allow any vessels that failed even the simplest of requirements to go out to sea. The Seagull, Sepide and MV Kalama have been grounded following numerous mishaps. "As a matter of fact, we want to completely deregister them," the official said. "We are looking at legal technicalities before banning these companies."
The passenger capacity on the MV Serengeti, which is the only state-owned vessel currently plying the Pemba route, has been reduced from 850 to 350 people. The ferry boat can load only 50 tonnes of cargo, down from 100 tonnes, due to advanced age.
According to Captain Sururu, the biggest headache is how to handle the many private operators with registered old vessels. In total, there are 13 passenger vessels and 16 cargo ships registered in Zanzibar.
There are also hundreds of smaller boats and dhows. The corporation would run the expected new ship and the MV Maendeleo, a 1980 ship with a capacity for 450 passengers and 700 tonnes of cargo.
The newly-appointed minister for Infrastructure and Communications, Mr Rashid Seif Suleiman, is warning that the new operating rules will be enforced to the letter and no private operators will get away with breaking them. "Those who don't meet them will not be allowed here," the minister told The Citizen on Saturday.
But private investors are in turn challenging the government to reduce bureaucracy, corruption and huge taxation—all of which add to their operating costs, eventually affecting efficiency. High taxation and licensing in the airline industry has been cited as one of the reasons why the cost of a local ticket has shot up more than 100 per cent in a few years.
"Our company is ready to abide by the highest operating standards and welcome the pledge by the government to rein in shoddy businessmen who take advantage of lax law enforcement to endanger the lives of passengers," said Mr Hussein Mohamed Said, the general manager of Azam Marine and Coastal Fast Ferries.
Given the recent disasters, Mr Said added, it is imperative that the state and private investors collaborate with professional marine bodies around the world to research and instill strict safety measures, "Tanzania has many marine professionals but are we using them adequately and appropriately? The challenge is some profiteers just want to reap what they have not sowed."
Azam Marine will in the next month deploy a new ferry with a capacity of 1,200 on the Pemba route. "We have invested $30 million in a new ferry and equipment and recently commissioned a Euros 300,000 modern ticketing system," he said. All he asks is that the government put in place infrastructure befitting the new facilities.
