America's space agency is entering the second phase of a four-step plan to draw up rules for small drones that fly under 500 feet.
The NASA project is meant to develop performance standards for drones that would be used for commercial purposes by companies such as Amazon and Google.
The system will be designed to help drone operators deal with weather conditions, restricted air space, airport congestion, and other obstacles.
NASA is looking to present its research to the Federal Aviation Administration by the end of 2019.
By that time, it estimates there will be 7 million small drones in operation, including 2.6 million aircraft for commercial use.
The second phase of the project will include testing flights beyond visual line-of-sight of the operator.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) cleared online shopping giant Amazon to experiment with drone deliveries in April last year, stipulating that they can only be flown in daylight and operators need to maintain a visual line of sight.
Walmart then filed an application with the FAA last October to test its drones to fulfil deliveries to customers at its own outlets and customers' homes, as well as curbside pickups.
Alphabet's Google also jumped on the idea of drone delivery a little while ago, with Project Wing — the search giant's initiative aimed at making deliveries via autonomous vehicles — hoping to have a to-market product come 2017.
Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg got a step closer to seeing Facebook's internet drone Aquila take full flight, following a successful 90-minute full scale test flight last month. As part of the trial, the unmanned aircraft flew at low altitude but Facebook plans to take the drones above 60,000 feet and fly it up for three months at a time.
In April, new regulations were introduced by the Australian government to allow drones to fly commercially, without the need to obtain a number of regulatory approvals.
Under the changes, which come into effect in September, drone operators will need to notify the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) they intend to fly their aircraft and adhere to a set of standard operating conditions, which include flying only during the day within a visual line of sight, below 120 metres; keeping more than 30 metres away from other people; flying more than 5.5 kilometres from controlled aerodromes; and not operating near emergency situations.
For aircraft weighing 25 kilograms and over, the operator needs to hold a remote pilot licence in the category of aircraft being flown.
Shortly after the regulatory changes were announced, Australia Post revealed plans to begin trialling the use of drones to deliver small parcels, in particular critical items like medication, around the country later this year.
The government-owned organisation will work closely with Melbourne-based startup ARI Labs, the developers of the proprietary technology, to demonstrate the reliability and applications of the technology.
Hopping on the drone bandwagon more recently was Australian pizza giant Domino's, which enlisted the help of drone delivery experts Flirtey last week as it aims to soon use drones to deliver pizza to a customer's front door.
Domino's has chosen to kick off its drone initiative in Auckland, New Zealand, as the country's current regulations allow businesses to utilise unmanned aircraft.
Domino's said it expects to be able to trial store-to-door drone deliveries from selected Domino's New Zealand stores, with flights to customer homes tabled for later this year.
"We are planning a phased trial approach which is based on the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) granting approval, as both Domino's and Flirtey are learning what is possible with the drone delivery for our products, but this isn't a pie in the sky idea. It's about working with the regulators and Flirtey to make this a reality for our customers," Domino's Group CEO and managing director Don Meij said.

Ways of Seeing: Blindness and Art , 2008–2009
Video (3-channel projection). Examines how three visually-impaired people experience an art exhibition, mediated through the words of a professional audio describer and the curator. It explores how the unsettled relationship between seeing, words and knowing as articulated by John Berger (Ways of Seeing 1972) can be further complicated by sight loss.
Commissioned by Chinese Arts Centre in collaboration with Henshaws Society for Blind People and supported by Arts Council England.

How to set up the default course view
The way to achieve this is really simple. The administrator switches to the Learner role (1) and selects the preferable view mode through the Courses list (2).
And that's it! From now on, all users will see the courses in the preselected view.
Note: This setting is not permanent, which means that the learners can change the default view for themselves, without of course affecting the other users.

According to the legends Goddess Durga took rest in this consecrated spot after annihilating a Rakshasa and from that point forward the name Vijayawada appeared which means land of victory. The disclosure of Stone Age ancient rarities along the banks of River Krishna from Nagarjuna to Machilipatnam Sagar demonstrates that this region was occupied much sooner. The Chalukyas once ruled this spot and it was later a part of Vengi Kingdom, Vijayanagaras, Eastern Gangas and Reddy Dynasty. At long last it went under British Madras administration. Just book your Chennai to Vijayawada flights and travel to have an awesome time in the city.
Prakasam Barrage: The lovely backwaters framed by the barrage give the city a one of a kind setting with the scenery of Kanakadurga Hill. The barrage was constructed in 1855 by Sir Arthur Cotton and later reproduced in the 1950s. This is one of the most significant watering system ventures in Southern India which named after the Tanguturi Prakasam. The plan irrigates about one million hectares of area, changing over the Krishna delta into a rich storehouse in Andhra Pradesh. This barrage likewise supplies water to Buckingham channel which was developed as inland route trench at first yet later utilized as watering system for the fields.
Kanaka Durga Temple: Devoted to the goddess of influence and wealth, Kanaka Durga temple is viewed as the main god of Vijayawada. It is one of the renowned sanctuaries in South India. The holy place that goes back to the 8th century is additionally called as Sri Durga Malleswara Swamy Mandir. As indicated by legend, goddess Durga slaughtered devil Mahishasura and cherished on the Keela Mountain with eight arms as Mahishasura Mardini as she had offered shelter to Keela. Indra and every single other god worshipped the goddess Kanaka Durga on the slope which later known as Indrakeeladri. In Dwapara Yuga, Arjuna did extraordinary repentance on Indrakeeladri for Lord Shiva keeping in mind the end goal to get the most capable Astra called Pashupatastra.
Undavalli Caves: The caves are old cavern sanctuaries accepted to be constructed somewhere around fourth century by the Gupta rulers. The hollows are situated on a slope sitting above the Krishna River. These caverns have been cut out of strong sandstone on a slope. The best known and biggest one has four stories with an enormous statue of Lord Vishnu in a leaning back stance etched from a solitary square of stone in the second floor. Different places of worship inside the hole are committed to Vishnu, Trimurti-Brahma and Shiva. Primary hollow has a place with the most beautiful case of Gupta engineering, essentially primitive rock-cut cloister cells cut into the sandstone slopes.
Kondapalli Fort: This fourteenth century Fort is accepted to have been constructed by the Reddy King of Kondaveedu, Prolaya Vema Reddy. Spread over a region of 18 sq.km, this Fort is said to have served as a recreational spot for the ruler. The Fort was additionally utilized as a business focus. Later, the fort went under the control of Gajapati leaders of Orissa. In the year 1520 AD the King, Sri Krishnadevaraya Empire caught the Kondapalli fort during Kalinga wars. Later, the fortress came under the control of Qutub Shahi Kings in the sixteenth century.
Vijayawada is one place where you can go solo as well as with your family. And with so many places to visit, just pack your bags and get ready to travel by booking your travel tickets on Chennai to Vijayawada flights.

Here at the MFA Companies we find that inspiration walks through our doors every morning in the form of Notre Dame Cristo Rey High School (NDCR) students who are participating in our Corporate Work Study Program. In 2013 we partnered with NDCR as a corporate sponsor to bring four enthusiastic, creative students into our workforce for the school year where they worked to finance their tuition while simultaneously gaining valuable on-the-job experience. We are pleased to share that our experience has been beyond positive and we are now well into our second full year of the program.
Thrilled to welcome NDCR students back for the second year, we worked with the school to match the interests of the students with opportunities in the different departments of our Firm, such as marketing, human resources and our audit and tax practices. In addition to exposing the students to the many facets of our Firm, this matching approach has provided the students with an experience that best fit their areas of interest and has resulted in a high level of engagement from them. We find the students to be exceedingly motivated, mature and committed to the work and we are continuously impressed by their level of performance here in the office. Without a doubt the students have proven themselves to be valuable resources in supporting our members and we are already anticipating the benefits that year three of this Work Study Program will bring.
NDCR Junior Yaznairy is back with us for a second year—her self-motivation, inquisitive nature, desire to learn about our business and aspirations to succeed make her a stand-out here at the MFA Companies.
More about the NDCR Corporate Work Study Program
NDCR is located in Lawrence, Massachusetts and is part of the Cristo Rey Network, a group comprised of 28 high schools that provide a quality, Catholic college preparatory education to urban young people who live in communities with limited educational options. NDCR utilizes a longer school day and year than traditional high schools as it combines a rigorous college preparatory curriculum with the requirement that all students participate in a Corporate Work Study Program.
The Work Study Program helps students finance the majority of the cost of their education, gives them real world job experience and bolsters their self-confidence. Students are required to complete an in-house business training program before being assigned to the Work Study Program. It appears the training program really pays off as NDCR was recently ranked number one in overall student workplace performance for the third consecutive time!

Master Tung-kuo asked Chuang Tzu, "This thing called the Tao… where does it exist?"
Chuang Tzu said, "There's no place it doesn't exist."
"Come," said Master Tung-kuo, "you must be more specific!"
"It is in the ant."
"As low a thing as that?"
"It is in the grass."
"But that's lower still!"
"It is in the tiles and shards."
"How can it be so low?"
"It is in the piss and shit."
I love this entry from the Chuang Tzu/Zhuangzi. It's probably my favorite entry in the whole book, because in my eyes, it talks about reality.
When I talk to some people about spiritual practice, they're taken aback by how "ordinary" I seem. I swear a lot, I'm into punk music, I laugh at fart jokes, and have the sense of humor of a sailor. But the reason why people are weirded out by me is because many people's idea of "spirituality" is an image of a sage with flowing robes, floating just above humanity, walking two inches off the ground, speaking in a sagely tone using the word "one" as a fucking pronoun ("one must…"), and that everything is puppy dogs and ice cream.
But that's all bullshit.
Taoist spirituality and meditation practice is about reality. Reality isn't about the world being such a pretty and perfect place, or at least the popular idea of what might be pretty and perfect. Reality is everything. Everything is reality. Reality is you, me, TPS reports, dick jokes, zebras, horny couples fucking on the floor, and of course, piss and shit.
The practice of Taoism isn't an escape into a delusional reality where things look like a 1940's cartoon with singing flowers and impromptu animal parades where everyone looks happy, the practice of Taoism is a skill that allows you to accept things for what they are in order to become the centered pivot around which the chaos spins. That's what true inner peace is…. it's not an escape. It's being present in the thick of life, being exactly where you are, and finding harmony with whatever life hands you.
But the above entry by Chuang Tzu not only teaches that reality is everything around us, but he also means that in order to accept everything as reality, we can't just concentrate on the things that we find "pretty" or "nice" or "pleasant." Because those things are judgments relative only to the human ego. I'm not suggesting that you go out and drink some piss and eat some shit, however people have to understand that everything in nature has its purpose. To be honest, I don't know what the purpose of piss is (I'll look it up eventually), however, shit is not only just a stinky waste product, but it's also food for flies and for the earth. Flies eat turds, then go on to be food for other insects or animals, who are then eaten by other animals, who are then eventually eaten by us. And if shit isn't eaten by insects, then it eventually becomes compost to further nourish the earth and plants and trees. The ecosystem that helps give us our existence is in constant flow, and even something so "low" as excrement also has an important role in it. Hence, "the Tao is in the piss and shit."
So what Chuang Tzu is suggesting is that everything can be both ugly and beautiful at the same time, and that if we can allow ourselves to view life past our limiting human egos, then we can truly see the endless ebb and flow of the universe around us… and to find peace within it.

It'll be OK.
Anyway, I feel like I cannot avoid the issue forever--nor do I want to avoid it. I just haven't been able to talk about it directly to people for the reasons I mentioned above. I feel grateful, though, to be able to write it, because this way I will be able to think about and express just how I feel without actually having to face anyone.
I lost my baby on Tuesday at 15 1/2 weeks along. I went into the doctor's office in Eugene, by myself, without concerns, only to learn that the baby's heart was no longer beating. After the Doctor used one of those stethoscope things to listen to the heartbeat and was unable to find it, he did a vaginal ultrasound to determine the problem. I knew the news was not good when the Doctor didn't say anything for a period of time and was hesitant to have me looking at the monitor. I covered my eyes and began to sob. The Doctor tried to comfort me and told me he'd give me some time as he went to order a more detailed ultrasound. I called Brian. He told me he would come over, but I told him to wait until I had found out more. In the detailed ultrasound, I got to see the baby, curled up with it's back to me. Were they sure he or she wasn't just taking a break? Sometimes I need to just take a break and I probably stop breathing for a minute or two, too. I wanted that baby to be alive.
The doctor told me that he felt the best thing for me to do was to have a D&C operation. Since I live more than an hour away from his office and since keeping the baby inside you after it has passed away can cause more serious complications, he recommended I have the procedure done as soon as possible. I called Brian once again and we decided it would be best to allow the Doctor to perform the D&C that day. :(
Once we were back in the Doctor's office, . He explained that since I was so far along, the baby was more developed than is usually the case with miscarriages, and therefore suggested that Brian may want to wait in the waiting room because of what he might otherwise see. However, I felt like I needed him there with me, so I asked him to hold my hand and just close his eyes.
Because the doctor feared that the procedure would be even more uncomfortable and traumatic than usual, because of my being so far along, he administered a larger-than-usual dose of anesthetics. Soon after, I commented that I could taste a strange taste in my mouth. The Doctor said that sometimes, a little bit of the anesthetics will get in your blood stream and cause that strange taste and that it might also cause me to feel tingling in my lips. In seconds, my lips had begun to tingle and go numb and then those sensations started spreading down my body. I continued to describe to the Doctor how I was feeling and he continued to reassure me and give me directives. Suddenly, I started seeing sharp flashes of bright light and I began to feel scared. I didn't know what was happening. I tried to continue to listen to what the Doctor and nurse were saying to me, and I could feel Brian holding my hand looking over me the whole time. At some point, I could no longer see. I felt like I was in total darkness except for the continuing flashing light. I continued to try and respond to what I was being asked to do, but I became more and more panicked when I was unable to speak normally. When I responded, it sounded to me like my words were coming out in pulses that matched the flashing of the light. I remember being able to hear the doctor and nurse and Brian the whole time ( I think), but strangely, I felt like I was far away at the same time and that there was some kind of (literal) darkness that separated us. I became terrified as my forced words became more and more slurred and it became progressively harder for me to follow the directives being given. (Brian tells me that the doctor and nurse were mostly telling me to breath deeply because my breaths tended to be spastic and short, and I would hold the air in for a couple seconds before letting it out.)
I remember thinking, they will not be able to understand what I am saying, but they will hear the fear in my voice and they will know that something is happening to me and that they need to save me. Then the thought came to me: I'm dying! I wondered if I was in the tunnel that I had heard described so many times. I knew that if I died, Heavenly Father or Scotty would be the first persons I'd see and I became terrified. I didn't want to see their faces, yet! I was not ready to die. I remember thinking of my kids and Brian and being most scared that if I died, surely my mom would die, too. She could not lose another of her children and live through it. I remember seeing what I feared was the outline of a person flashing with the light, but I felt that as long as I could not see the face, I must still be hanging on. I remember crying I'm s-c-a-a-a-r-r-r-e-e-d-d-d..
Finally, I remember hearing the Doctor ask me to start breathing slowly and tell me that I should start sensing the feeling coming back into my lips. I was paranoid about what it might mean if the feeling didn't come back, but soon my fear was replaced with the deepest relief. I soon felt the feeling come back to my lips and then to my feet and I was able to open my eyes and see the nurse and Brian above me. I began to sob, saying, thank goodness! Thank goodness! Thank you, Heavenly Father! I didn't want to die! My mom would have died! My mom would have died! And I was overcome with love and gratitude for Brian having been there with me. He had given me a blessing beforehand and now I felt like it had likely saved me. I was SO grateful. What would I have done if he had not been there? I could not have survived the fear. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for such a wonderful husband. I am so lucky to have him. I cried, and cried, and cried.
The Doctor and nurse continued to try to comfort me and reassure me that I would be alright, but I was exhausted and feared that if I fell asleep, I might not wake up. The Doctor explained that an unusual amount of anesthetics must have entered my blood stream and made it to my heart, causing my blood pressure to drop. I asked him if that happens sometimes and he said it does. He didn't however, say how often, and I'm still wondering. I'm still not sure how unusual or dangerous the situation in fact, was. I felt like the doctor and nurse didn't want to say too much for fear of making matters worse (and possible for fear of a lawsuit.) The Doctor, though, did say how sorry he was multiple times and that he understood how terrifying it must have been for me. Whatever the situation was--I'm grateful to have felt the calm reassurances of the doctor, nurse, and Brian throughout it all, and I'm grateful to Heavenly Father for letting me live.
The actual D&C, which had not yet been performed, went well, by comparison, and after lying on the table for a while and then throwing up, Brian and I drove home. I will go back in next week for a follow up.
So there it is. I've been able to write what happened, and now I can go on living.
This experience, of course, has made me think about and be comforted by the things I believe, and I want to make sure everyone knows what those things are:
I have no doubt that that baby (and the other two that I lost in miscarriages)will still be a part of our family. I'm not sure if its spirit will be put into another body in a later pregnancy at a better time, or if we'll be yippin' to meet again when I do get up there, but I'm not worried about it
I know we have a Heavenly Father who loves us. He watches over me every day. He is proud of me when I try to be like Christ, and he doesn't ever give up on me when I make mistakes. He always answers my prayers and makes me feel like He has confidence in my ability to do better. I know that He has power over all and that he always consecrates our lives for our good--if you will. He lets us make our own choices and then he works around them in whatever way he can in order to bless us.
I'm starting to know the Savior more and more. I've enjoyed reading again in the New Testament--the actual words and teachings of Christ. His central message to me seems to be: don't get distracted by the little things. Focus on the big picture; remember the things that are most important; love one another.
I feel the comfort and hope brought by the Holy Ghost, and I am so grateful for it. I know everything will be fine.
I am so grateful to have people that care about me.
I would have this experience a hundred times before I would rather lose one of my living children, or husband, or parent, or another sibling. I have so much to be grateful for.
To those of you who have experienced far, far worse, and I know it is many of you, I hope to not have trivialized what you have gone through. I sincerely hope that far more than me, that you are comforted through the power of the atonement or through his giving of His gift of charity to someone around you.

Ann, I am so sorry. It makes my insides hurt to think about going in at 15 weeks, expecting nothing out of the ordinary, and getting that news.
William is specializing in anesthesiology, so if you did want to talk to someone who could give you their professional opinion your experience, I could arrange for you to talk to him. Sometimes I wish he knew more doctor things than he does (i.e. helping me with hemmorhoids), but the kid does seem to know anesthesia.
Love you.

I just got back in town and read your last two posts. That "anonymous" comment was not me, but I was going to leave a comment this time saying that I DO read your blog and that it IS interesting. Then I read your next post and got sad. I'm very sorry you lost your baby. It is good that you feel you can be so honest about a very private and heartbreaking experience and share it with others. Bringing babies into this world is harder for some of us, and it DOES make you more empathetic to others.

Ann, I'm so sorry to hear what happened. At the same time, I'm so glad that you are safe, and I'm glad you've relied on the power of the Atonement during your extreme moments. No one can understand perfectly exactly what we experience but Him, who has experienced it with/for us. I love you. I'll pray for you and your family. Thank you for your good example.

Thank you for sharing, you really do have a way with words--you described what I wanted to say about Madi's birth--my reaction to the epidural was the same but the MD and nurses reaction was panic when I awoke but I pleaded like you did. I'm so sorry about yours and Brian's loss. Your family is in our prayers. I believe you hit it on the head that many people don't write about what they are experiencing but they should--thanks for the example of sharing something that was so tender and close to your heart.

Ann- I just cry and cry for you. Your mom told me when she took me to get my wisdom teeth out. She told me the second I came out of my anesthesia. Wasn't that nice of her? She said she waited until I was done because she didn't want me to worry and more than I was. But I was, and am, so sad for you. I understand not being able to talk about it. Reading your post after this- I don't think it's a bad thing to put these sort of things out there that you need others to know but can't say yourself. And, Ann, it's so wonderful that you have such a wonderful and supportive family. NONE of mine has still hardly said a word, not even "I'm sorry" about mine. Jill left me a comment saying that. A long lost friend from elementary school sent me flowers. (btw- I'm typing this and bawling and Pammie is looking at me like I'm nutso). Anyway... You are all so wonderful. I'm sorry you have had such loss. For what it's worth- I am also terrified of seeing my mom. I believe that that child will be hanging out with Scotty, learning all kinds of tricks, and waiting for you on the other side. And while it will seem like a long time to you- it'll be no time at all to them. Thank you for your testimony. Thanks for just being you.

Oh...and I gotta say... I really hope that Heavenly Father doesn't just give that gift of empathy and charity to those who ask hard enough without them going through something similar. Because, sheesh, that's all I got going for me! Otherwise I guess I'd better get praying harder to have that WITHOUT all this stuff happening to me. I'm pretty sure it's not quite the same though. That's what I tell myself to feel better anyway.

Response of a RC bridge in WA to simulated spatially varying seismic ground motions
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
In this paper, numerical results from a non-linear dynamic response analysis of a 50 m long two-span RC bridge in the Perth Metropolitan Area (PMA) to simulated spatially varying seismic ground motions are presented and discussed. Spatially varying ground motions are stochastically simulated to be compatible with the design spectrum for different site conditions given in the Draft Australian Earthquake Loading Code, and are compatible with an empirical coherency loss function representing highly, intermediately and weakly correlated spatial ground motions. Effects of ground motion spatial variation, bridge bearing stiffness, gap size of the expansion joint, and soil stiffness on impact force between the girders, and bending moment and shear force of the pier are investigated. Discussions on the influence of ground motion spatial variations on bridge structure response are made.

Fáilte Ireland is inviting local input as it works to develop a "Visitor Experience Development Plan" for the area from Kenmare to Ballydehob
Local tourism businesses, tourism and community group members, as well as all other interested parties and individuals, are invited by Fáilte Ireland to take part in a series of workshops running from 11th-20th February across the Three Heads Region taking in the Beara, Sheep's Head and Mizen peninsulas as well as Dursey, Bere, Garnish, Whiddy and Long islands.
The workshops will concentrate on pulling together stories, ideas, and opportunities that could be used to boost tourism in the area. The findings from the workshops will feed into a plan - a Visitor Experience Development Plan - which will outline ways to improve the benefits of tourism for all of the communities in the area.
The Visitor Experience Development Plan will ultimately encourage continued growth in visitor numbers, dwell time and spend, helping to extend the tourism season and spread business across all parts of the region. Similar plans have been developed successfully for the Skellig Coast and for the Burren and Cliffs of Moher, as well as for Connemara and the Aran islands.
Miriam Kennedy, Fáilte Ireland's Head of the Wild Atlantic Way, explained:
"Local consultation and input is essential if we are going to produce a plan that works for the visitor and for the local economy. We look forward to welcoming people to our workshops and drop in sessions to hear the ideas they have to offer and we would encourage as many interested parties as possible to attend."
The development of the plan will be assisted by external experts appointed by Fáilte Ireland who will bring the benefit of their international experience to the process. The deliberations will also involve local authorities and the widest possible range of local tourism stakeholders. Everyone with ideas and knowledge to share is welcome to the planned workshops.
Events and dates:
Monday, 11th February
4-6pm: Grove House, Schull.
Wednesday, 14 February
4pm-6pm: The Old Creamery, Kilcrohane.
Thursday, 15 February
7-9pm: Garnish Room, Maritime Hotel, Bantry.

Now that the Royal wedding is finally over, we can all go back to our regular routines.
Yeah right. There's still the Royal Reception to swoon over!
But first, a recap of the wedding…
The image of Kate Middleton in the car with her dad and the image of Prince William with his bride at the altar are definitely the highlights for me. Also another memorable moment: the adorable flower girl who was pouting throughout the balcony scene.
We've all heard our friends, family, and experts weigh in on the wedding. Some people thought Kate's dress didn't have the "wow" factor or that her hair could've been better or her veil or whatever. I think we all have a picture in our head of what we want a princess to look like, BUT this was her day. She looked the way she wanted to look. Sure, she could've added a little more bling or a bigger pouf or held a bigger bouquet but that wouldn't be her. From everything we have seen Kate wear in the last decade, her style has always been simple and understated. She never goes for a super dramatic or over-the-top look – she always looks effortlessly chic. I think her outfit choice was perfect for her.
Ultimately, it's the happiness on the bride that everyone talks about. And Kate (and Prince William) sure did look happy!
Anyway, enough of my babble. On to more important things: the reception(s)!
Below are some pictures from the two receptions – one host by Queen Elizabeth and the second hosted by Prince Charles.
According to the Palace, the couple have decided not to go on a honeymoon immediately after their wedding – gives them more privacy when they do decide to go I guess. Pictures of the two on Saturday, the day after their wedding, are below:
Below are the official portraits from the wedding – talk about regal!
Many people compare Kate to Princess Diana – and ofcourse are disappointed when they feel Kate falls short. It's hard not to compare the two, but they are two very different women. In m opinion, Princess Diana had a charm that not many people have. She had a heart that led her to shed light to so many issues around the world. Kate seems like a genuinely nice person aswell – there's no point in comparing her to Princess Diana.
I wish the couple well and hope that they utilize their power to make a difference.

- About this book
Schooling in the region known as Micronesia is today a normalized, ubiquitous, and largely unexamined habit. As a result, many of its effects have also gone unnoticed and unchallenged. By interrogating the processes of normalization and governmentality that circulate and operate through schooling in the region through the deployment of Foucaultian conceptions of power, knowledge, and subjectivity, this work destabilizes conventional notions of schooling's neutrality, self-evident benefit, and its role as the key to contemporary notions of so-called political, economic, and social development.
This work aims to disquiet the idea that school today is both rooted in some distant past and a force for decolonization and the postcolonial moment. Instead, through a genealogy of schooling, the author argues that school as it is currently practiced in the region is the product of the present, emerging from the mid-1960s shift in US policy in the islands, the very moment when the US was trying to simultaneously prepare the islands for putative self-determination while producing ever-increasing colonial relations through the practice of schooling.
The work goes on to conduct a genealogy of the various subjectivities produced through this present schooling practice, notably the student, the teacher, and the child/parent/family. It concludes by offering a counter-discourse to the normalized narrative of schooling, and suggests that what is displaced and foreclosed on by that narrative in fact holds a possible key to meaningful decolonization and self-determination.
- Reviews
"Kupferman's book is a trenchant and thought-provoking critique of schooling in Micronesia that strongly contests its widely accepted role as the primary axis of development. It invites continued dialogue about the purpose and effects of schooling in the region. It would be a stimulating read for educators, anthropologists of education, postcolonial theorists, and scholars of Micronesia and the Pacific at large." (Rachana Agarwal, Pacific Affairs, Vol. 89 (2), June, 2016)
Disassembling and Decolonizing School in the Pacific:A Genealogy from Micronesia is one of the most impressive, intellectually sophisticated works of scholarship on Micronesia that I have ever read. It is a truly insightful study that examines critically the idea of schooling in Micronesia, and finds it to be anything but a force for decolonization. Much of the extant scholarship on the region views formal, Western-style education as an inevitable, desirable and necessary component of the modernist project. Kupferman's discursive approach brings a new, challenging, and much needed interdisciplinary perspective to an old, tired, taken-for-granted topic. This work will also be of interest to scholars and educators dealing with colonial and other externally imposed systems of education.
David Hanlon, Professor of History and former Director of the Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawaii, Mānoa
A powerful and original achievement, David Kupferman astutely puts to work contemporary theory in the study of state-sponsored schooling in Micronesia. Covering an impressive array of materials across the fields of education, cultural studies, and Pacific Islands studies, Kupferman demonstrates the strength of theoretical intelligence to retrieve the politics neutralized by institutionalized knowledge systems of schooling. This is a brave book by a courageous scholar.

Flood insurance coverage is an important complimentary protection choice to coincide with owners' insurance coverage. Surcharge : The Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014 mandated that a surcharge be utilized to every NFIP coverage to offset discounted policies. She paid $300 a 12 months for federal flood insurance coverage then. Rating the policy utilizing an Elevation Certificate (which incorporates building info just like the elevation) and basing it on the current flood map might cut back your consumer's annual premium.
This probably reflects 1) heightened awareness of flood dangers, 2) requirements to buy flood insurance to obtain federal assistance, and three) outreach initiated by the New York City authorities. Though FEMA does not have an estimate of what number of properties are paying grandfathered charges, the program tries to recoup lost revenue from the lower charges by charging increased rates for other policies within the SFHA.
To help ease your worries about flood cleanup, which generally is a tough course of with a lot of mud, flood insurance coverage additionally affords protection for particles removing. In this case, the grandfathered structure pays the decrease AE zone rate as an alternative of the newer, increased VE zone fee (see Appendix E for extra information on distinctions among these flood hazard zones). In a high-threat area, your house is greater than twice as prone to be broken by a flood than by fire.
Protecting your property with flood insurance is an excellent decision.
Reduction is on the cards finally for house owners of flood-inclined homes struggling to search out insurance, when an trade scheme launches this week to cap the cost of cover. Planners in a South Carolina neighborhood are taking steps to help householders save an estimated $128 each on their flood insurance coverage by a FEMA program designed to mitigate dangers in flood-prone areas. Federal officers say they are moving towards a system in which the cost of all insurance insurance policies will probably be based on the precise flood threat a house owner faces. Whereas the speed hikes will unquestionably affect the largest numbers of individuals in subtropical coastal cities like New Orleans, Miami and St. Petersburg, Fla., they also have the potential to deliver crippling blows to old river towns and port cities that have little in common with the eroding beach communities which have earned the flood program so much scorn.
Private flood insurance coverage may be accessible and could also be extra reasonably priced than Nationwide Flood Insurance. Because the small community lies in such intimate proximity to the Puget Sound, householders with mortgages have to hold flood insurance coverage. FAST FINANCIAL SAVINGS: An Elevation Certificates can be financially helpful to a policyholder right now if their property were determined to be above the Base Flood degree (mild blue line, Structure 4 Toes Above Flood Level).
The average value of a coverage is about $seven hundred a 12 months, but premiums range relying in your property's flood threat. A floodplain is an space of land subject to flooding that's next to a river, stream, lake, estuary or different physique of water. High Risk Zones: Houses in high threat flood zones usually tend to be broken by flood than hearth. Residents have been alerted to possible severe flooding in late spring, when main precipitation fell in the Canadian watershed that feeds the Souris, however a lot of people believed it would not affect them,†mentioned Lynn Klein, an agent with First Western Insurance of Minot.
V-zones are sometimes beachfront properties that may expertise harm from water coming in waves, and A-zones usually tend to obtain damage from rising water from a physique of water.

COTTONWOOD - "Jump Into Spring!" That was the theme for the 16th annual Cottonwood Public Library Volunteer Luncheon. April is Volunteer Appreciation Month. On April 18, the library staff honored their volunteers with a luncheon at the new Cottonwood Recreation Center with food provided by Jerona Java Cafe and Gifts.
Approximately 75 people attended the gala, including staff, volunteers, library board members, and the Friends of the library group, the Cottonwood Bookmarks. It may take a village to raise a child, but it takes a city full of giving volunteers to run a library. In all, there are 116 people who volunteer at the library.
The Cottonwood Public Library Volunteer of the Year for 2009 is Gail Bell. Gail, a volunteer in the Cottonwood Bookmarks since 2002, tirelessly donated her time as the Bookmarks Membership Secretary and spent several hours each week pricing books to sell at the Bookmarks Boutique located in the library. Without volunteers such as Gail, the library would be hard-pressed to make it through a week, let alone an entire year.
The library also issues Volunteer Service Awards at the annual luncheon. This year twelve volunteers received their 1-year award, five received 5-year awards, and two received their 10-year awards.
Agnes Blackford, Jay Fleishman and Judy Paulus received their 15-year awards. Bill Moeny received his 20-year award, and Dede Ewald received her 30-year award. Betsy Johnston received an award for 40 years of library volunteer service.
The Cottonwood Public Library would also like to thank the following sponsors for their donations: Cottonwood Cinema, Blazin' M Ranch, Verde Canyon Railroad, Phoenix Zoo, Out of Africa, Mai Thai on Main Restaurant, Desert Botanical Gardens, Cliff Castle Casino, Harrah's Laughlin Casino, La Bella Café, Hog Wild, Community Tire, Wal-Mart, Bobbie Gooslin, Judy Stallings, Andrea Phyfer, Dede Ewald, UniqPresence, Tae Kwon Do Unlimited, Cottonwood Bookmarks, Cottonwood Public Library Board, Cottonwood Fire Department, and Cottonwood Police Department.

Looking for recycled plastic planks?
Recycled plastic lumber planks (or recycled plastic wood as it is sometimes also, incorrectly, known) is the basic material from which much of the British Recycled Plastic range of environmentally friendly maintenance free furniture and sustainable construction products are made.
Recycled plastic lumber planks as an alternative to wood
Our range of recycled plastic lumber is rot proof, impact resistant, algae and moss resistant as the profiles have a skin that paint cannot penetrate while graffiti can simply be wiped clean.
Designed as an alternative to traditional construction materials, recycled plastic planks are impervious to water, do not rot, split or splinter, and allow for the easy and quick construction of fences, revetments, boardwalks, steps and pontoons, to name but a few applications. This also makes it the ideal material for areas subject to flooding or standing water.
British Recycled Plastic offer an extensive range of recycled plastic lumber planks of all sizes, along with decking boards and other profiles designed for civil engineering.
Coupled with the major positive environmental benefits, recycled plastic lumber planks can be used for many applications traditionally solved using timber, concrete or metals.
It provides an economical and environmentally sustainable alternative to these materials, lowering the carbon footprint of construction projects compared to many traditional solutions.
Some of the ways our customers have used recycled plastic planks…
Although we do supply flat packed kits for raised beds in predetermined sizes, this customer had specific requirements so opted for ordering the recycled plastic lumber planks necessary to do the job.
If you need our recycled plastic planks at other lengths, less than the standard 3.1 metres, it can sometimes be more convenient for us to pre-cut them in the workshop before dispatch for you. There is a £1.00 cutting charge per plank, but if this means that the planks are reduced to less than 2.4 metres, this means you will save money on transport as they can be shipped on two pallets (1000mm x 1200mm each) rather than three.
It is a case of sitting down and working it out.
If in doubt, just send us a lumber list and we will send you a quote based on this.
Absolutely perfect for marine environments due to being completely non-absorbent, this customer, a rowing club, decided to wisely use our recycled plastic planks to create an additional landing stage for their boats on the river.
They have a large, purpose build landing stage outside the clubhouse but needed something they could install and forget until they needed it for busy weekends to get rowers into the water faster.
Of all of the uses for our recycled plastic planks that we've seen over the years, this remains one of our favourites.
Faced with the constant erosion of the coastal path along the the North Sea, the Council of the East Riding of Yorkshire enlisted the help of their local conservation trust to build something a bit more permanent but that would also have a low impact on the environment.
Read more here about how some of the volunteers then constructed 90 frames offsite in a workshop before bringing them out to Flamborough where they were fitted together to make long lasting steps.
Taking advantage of the great strength and 100% waterproof properties of recycled plastic, this canal trust build both lock gates and the retractable paddles out of recycled plastic for use in this canal near Stroud. Using recycled plastic means that these locks should remain free from any maintenance for decades as the material will not rot, split or decay in any way.
Lead engineer, Ron, from Cotswold Canals Trust praised the material's robustness but recommended that all fixings used are stainless steel.
You can watch a chat with him here.

I have three things to say about this video:
1) Please watch it.
2) What a beautiful way to pass along a recipe. Watching this makes me want to throw on an apron, turn on some relaxing music with a solid beat, and make a beautiful mess in the kitchen.
2) Beet cake with dark chocolate?!?! Delicious. Genius. Yum. I need to try this asap.
Has anyone ever made a cake with beets in it before? I want to learn more!

THE New Zealand dollar traded slightly higher on Monday morning following its Australian counterpart after the release of positive retails figures out of Australia. The Kiwi came to rest at 0.5150 British Pounds, up from 0.514 on Friday, and at 0.825 US Dollars.
The better than expected Aussie retail data has increased demand for commodity-linked currencies ahead of tomorrow's Reserve Bank of Australia monthly rate review. Any decrease would further support the impact of its rate cut in October. Mike Jones a Foreign Exchange Strategist at BNZ said that the market is 50-50 on a decision to drop Aussie rates to 3 per cent, and so that there could be volatility either way.
Markets also await the release of local employment data this week. It is expected that the household labour force survey to be released on Thursday will show a fall in unemployment. Governor of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Graeme Wheeler will hold his first press conference this week at which he will present the Financial Stability Report.
Markets are also expected to factor in large amounts of risk this week for local currencies as the US Presidential election results become apparent on Wednesday.

in performance: forecastle (day 2)
"Roll the dice, set sail the ship," sang a jubilant Jim James last night at the onset of My Morning Jacket's homecoming/headlining set at Forecastle in Louisville. It was an apt greeting for such a nautically themed festival. But James was all about celebration as the tune, Believe (Nobody Knows), kicked off the last of several impressive performances by Kentucky rooted artists that highlighted the festival's second day.
My Morning Jacket was easily the most prominent homegrown act of the bill and rewarded a crowd that had baked in 90-plus degree heat all afternoon with a set rich in summery sentiment, from the chiming guitars that propelled Mahgeetah to the mix of psychedelia and reggae-fied groove underscoring Off the Record to the almost militaristic strut of Compound Fracture. The latter, along with Believe, was pulled from the newest MMJ album, The Waterfall.
Logistics were in the audience's favor last night. Jackson native and one time Lexingtonian Sturgill Simpson wound up a far reaching country-rooted set on a second stage just minutes before MMJ closed out the day on the mainstage.
Simpson's performance came with plenty of roots savvy ingenuity. The set opening Sitting Here Without You summoned the spirit of Waylon Jennings, both in the rumbling tenor of Simpson's vocals and in the tune's sense of rambling fortitude. A few stabs at what the singer termed as "bluegrass" were really jet-speed honky tonk romps (including the sly Railroad of Sin), while later tunes (Some Days and the Sunday Valley favorite Sometimes Wine) strayed from concise country parameters into generous electric jams.
Perhaps the most under the radar Kentucky entry of the day was John Medeski. Though raised in Florida, he remains a Louisville native. Currently on a workman's holiday from the avant-jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood, the keyboardist yesterday was co-piloting the sacred steel/jam band hybrid music of The Word.
It was often an uphill climb for Medeski's organ and electric piano work to be heard over the electric wailing of guitarist Luther Dickinson and pedal steel powerhouse Robert Randolph. But despite a lopsided mix, the resulting blend of gospel, funk, soul and even country sounded suitably festive. Especially arresting was Medeski's Rhodes-style keyboard colors during Glory Glory, one of only two vocal tunes (sung ably by bassist Chris Chew) in an otherwise instrumental performance.
The other Kentucky returnee was Lexington-born, Paintsville-raised Chris Stapleton, whose late afternoon country set was even more roots hearty than Sturgill's performance.
Stapleton pens tunes of hard country sentiment with regularly subtle melodies. The title tune to his recent debut solo album Traveller – along with the record's highlight tune, the proudly assertive Fire Away – were fine examples that distinguished his performance. The songs' quiet intensity made them curious picks for a large outdoor festival. But Stapleton enforced them, along with his popular cover of Tennessee Whiskey and the more robustly rockish original Drinkin' Dark Whiskey (cut when Stapleton was with his former band, The Steeldrivers, which perform at Forecastle today) with singing that owed as much to vintage soul as hard-bitten country.
There was also plenty of fine Forecastle music yesterday from bands without Bluegrass ties. They included
+ a tireless set by the husband and wife duo known as Shovels & Rope that offered blasts of big beat pop on such guitar/drum dominant tunes as Bridge on Fire and Hail Hail.
+ a lyrical though occasionally static performance by the Philadelphia band The War on Drugs that was a throwback of sorts to the metronomic cool of '80s alternative rock.
+ a punkish, politically themed outing from Conor Oberst's recently reformed Omaha collective Desaparecidos weaved around brutish tunes like The Underground Man and Te Amo Camilo Vallejo.
+ a sampling of multi-generational soul from the New Orleans-based troupe The Revivalists that combined brassy bits of vintage R&B with song structures owing greatly to hip hop.

Do You Need A Embracing Imperfection?
I was over at single laughing dad reading this post and it really got me thinking. He asks people to leave comments on it telling everyone something imperfect about ourselves, but I have to dedicate an entire post to it. Why? Because for the last probably two months, I have been feeling so stressed that I often worried I might just snap and totally lose my sometimes thin grip on sanity. I sincerely hope every person who reads this will comment and tell me that I am not the only one feeling this way. Here goes.
I Don't Want To Spend This Much Time On Embracing Imperfection.
I don't know how to be a mother. I am just stumbling around in the dark, breaking toes and knocking things over, while I do my best to figure out what I am trying to do and how to accomplish it. I am not always Mommy of The Year. I could be more sensitive, give more of my time, laugh more, encourage more. The only thing I have going for me is my intuition and that never seems to work when the kids are scaling the blinds or refusing to get dressed for school. I have tried to be Polly Perfect but I don't know why. My children adore me just the way I am, burnt cookies and undercoated Christmas trees and all. They are not abused or neglected, they just don't live with June Cleaver.
I despise the public education system and if I was confident in my ability to effectively teach my children here at home I would certainly do it. I always feel like during the school week, I am stuck in rush hour traffic. For a week. Four hours is not enough time. Homework, dinner, showers, quality time, housecleaning, room cleaning and play time? How do you fit all that into four hours!? The answer is, it is impossible to do so. The result is stressed out children that are not enjoyed enough by their parents and parents that feel inadequate because they are unable to make four hours count for something. Affirmations for embracing imperfection
I look around me and I see mothers doing it everywhere. Their kids are participating in extra-curricular activities and they go to bed at 8 pm (as opposed to my 9-ish). They cook full course amazing meals, show up for their child's soccer game, have a happy marriage and still somehow maintain a smile. And sometimes they even want more children. Motherhood comes naturally to some, but not so much for others. I am one of the others. It isn't natural. I wish it were, but it isn't. I struggle with bath times and bedtimes, discipline and chores. I struggle to find time to accomplish all the things that realistically need to be done every day. I struggle with the feeling that my kids don't get enough of me. I struggle with the feeling that I don't get enough of me.
Having A Provocative Embracing Imperfection Works Only Under These Conditions
Perfect, or anything close to it, is an illusion to me. It isn't really attainable and I am so sick of trying to do it. Sometimes, I keep The Professor home from school, just so we can enjoy each other and not have to submit to this crushing grind we call parenting. Sometimes I skip the local parade or event for the kids because I know it means rushing to get there, to find parking, to keep the kids near to me in a huge crowd. I know what was supposed to be a cherished memory will instead be one of those moments when I later sneak into my child's room feeling guilty for not having enjoyed it as much as I intended too.
In a few recent posts, I have been sounding rather stressed. I am feeling stressed. But often in my posts, it sounds like my life with two little boys is stressing me, and last night I realized that while my boys certainly can be the cause of many a stressful day or night (or week), they are not the main reason for what I am feeling. The main reason for what I am feeling is my own need to be what society expects in a mother (or what I think society expects). It is the need to frown, smile, encourage, scold, cook, clean, comfort, talk, play and advocate at all the right times, when sometimes I am not sure what the right time is.
4 ways to Embrace Imperfection
I am stressed for all the wrong reasons and I am putting a stop to it today. If you see me in the grocery store, and my boys are chattering away, compulsively touch everything while I blissfully go about my shopping without trying to seem like I have total control of my children, you can go ahead and judge me harshly if you choose. I don't care. All I want is happy children that can function as adults and are confident in themselves. I want to enjoy them and I want them to know me by more than my scolds, frowns and whispered threats. More than anything else though, I want my children to not bludgeon themselves near to death trying to adhere to the standards society has because many of those standards are ridiculous and unrealistic.
So here's to imperfection and all those who choose to embrace it.

I am stagnant, there I said it. I am 25 and I am entirely stuck right now.
I feel like I need a new start something that gets me motivated. I was so sure for so long what I wanted to do but now my mind is filled with uncertainty. That was a frightening thought at the beginning but I am starting to embrace it. I am in my twenties, is it not a rite of passage to feel lost? Talking about "feeling lost", I honestly thought that was a made up cliche that happened to no one outside of a film. Yet, here I am trying to figure it all out and that is when it hit me. Since I was 17 I was trying to figure it all out and, at 25, this is where I stop giving myself time restraints. Instead I want to look at what I would like to complete but not giving myself days/weeks/months/years to finish it.
That is slightly freeing and completely unnerving. I have a few things in mind that I hope to do in 2017 but with no time constraints. With all this I realised I missed blogging. I spent the last year over on Mettle and now I want to spark up this blog again while Mettle takes a small hiatus before its renewal process.
I have given this blog an entire revamp and I hope you like it.
If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. – Maya Angelou

This is super simple with the salmon being baked and then you just have to make a simple white sauce to accompany it. I had it ready to eat in about 15 minutes.
1. Preheat your oven to 450ºF.
2. Place the fillet, skin side down on a roasting pan, sprinkle with sea salt and place in the oven. Bake until it flakes apart with a fork, about 15 minutes.
3. While the fish is cooking, place the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Melt and cook until the butter browns. Watch it carefully and swirl the pan as you go, it will turn fairly quickly and you don't want it completely burnt, just a light brown color.
4. Once the butter browns, add the flour and stir, then quickly add the heavy cream and wine.
5. Stir the sauce until slightly thickened, then remove from heat and add some salt and pepper to taste.
6. Remove the salmon from the oven and serve with a little of the sauce drizzled over the top and use some kitchen scissors to snip a few chives over the top.

We had a wonderful day with a rather long bus ride that took us from the inland mountains to the coast.
Along the way, our guide filled us in on much history.
As we headed to the coast, we saw an enormous mountain range and imagined the windy mountain pass that the bus would have to travel. However we were mistaken.
The Croats do not travel up and over the mountains. Instead, they have carved tunnels through the bases of the mountains. We traveled through one five-mile and one three-mile tunnel, which revealed gorgeous views views of the delta and then the Adriatic Sea coast with its quaint towns.
We arrived at Split, the town of Diocletian's retirement. He was the first Roman Emperor to abdicate. He built a huge palace, which is still inhabited today and still uses the aqueduct he built for water.
Some other tidbits bits from the day in notes form:
Tito and his housekeeper had a "special energy"
We went though the mountains. Forget windy mountain passes. The croats blast a five-mile tunnel through the base.
Dalmatian dogs guard dogs, ran in from mt of carriages that cleared the way for the horses. The nobility adopted them. We use them for fire dogs to clear the streets so the fire wagons could get through.
Donkeys very important here to carry crops over the mountains.
Australian food but more Mediterranean cuisine.
Pashtucava meat with prunes: prosciutto and nice cheeses and olives. Honey mixed with olive oil to ward off colds. Lots of seafood, grilled with olive oil and rosemary and garlic. Served with potatoes and Swiss chard. Grilled squid. Have to bash is so it isn't like chewing gum.
"How it goes," an expression our guide used.
Busara sauce white wine.
Chuvapi looks like sausage but not.
Bevanda mixed wine with water. Spritzer.
Ruins bc from Illyrian area.
Like grappa,
Was part of Italy so language is sprinkled with Italian words.
Nudist islands. Started her. FKK means bathing in the nude. Mostly secluded. Prince Edward and Wallis Simpson came The Kandarola rock and pebble beach, on the Croatian island of Rab, is where Britain's King Edward VIII and his future wife, American socialite Wallis Simpson, famously went for a nude swim in 1936
Seven cartels. Castella.
Diocletian retired and n Split. Had hot springs.
Diocletian palace filled with sewage and kids who had detention had to scoop poop. Nowadays, sewage is pumped to tank in Adriatic and it is released every night toward Italy.

CHICAGO (CBS) — In the middle of a crowed lobby, in a busy four-star hotel, guests hear a gunshot.
Now police search for the gun owner and people at the hotel are shaking their heads in disbelief.
CBS 2's Chelsea Irving reports from the Hyatt Regency on Wacker Drive.
Things back to normal but it was a very different story earlier in the day.
That's when people in the lobby heard a gunshot.
Three women were hurt and police searching for a suspect.
"I heard a loud bang. I'm not sure what it was. Everyone was freaking out asking what was going on and I had no idea," says one person inside the lobby.
It was an unexpected and frightening sound to hear in the lobby of the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
Chicago police say three people suffered minor leg injuries after a 24-year-old hotel guest tried to show a friend a gun.
But the weapon fired when he dropped it on the lobby floor.
"An individual who spent the night at the hotel was checking out. At which time a firearm fell out of his pocket, onto the floor, striking the tile," says Commander Michael Pigott. "Three individuals were struck fragments, potentially from the tile."
The suspect then took off and a police pursuit followed.
His gun was found a short time later in a trash can several blocks away.
Police know the identity of the suspect, who left his driver's license at the lobby desk.
They say he's a 24-year-old from the south suburbs.
"It just heightens knowledge that that's where we are today in our society," says a woman at the hotel attending a conference.
Many noted the sad coincidence of talking about a shooter in a school while hearing gunfire.
The Hyatt has released a statement.
The hotel says all of its guests and staff are safe, that operations are back to normal and that they are cooperating with police.
