The recent death of a 21-year-old Georgia student after an apparent case of fuel exhaustion is a reminder that even the most controlled of all flight environments is not immune to the most avoidable of all aviation accidents. If there's no good reason for any pilot to allow a perfectly good aircraft to run out of fuel—and there isn't—there's even less excuse for an instructor to allow that to happen on a dual lesson, or for a school to permit a student to depart on a solo flight without ample (even bountiful!) reserves.
We can take some comfort in the fact that fuel mismanagement occurs less often on training flights. During the 10 years covered by the AOPA Air Safety Institute's analysis of Accidents During Flight Instruction, fuel mismanagement contributed to 3.9 percent of all fixed-wing instructional accidents compared to 8.6 percent on noninstructional flights. Since the total instructional accident rate was also 10 percent lower, this translates to a 60-percent reduction in the average number of episodes per 100,000 hours flown. That's good, but hardly sufficient. Failures to manage their fuel supplies during training flights brought down 74 airplanes over the course of that decade, nearly two-thirds of them (48) during dual lessons. Helicopters fared better, sustaining just 11 fuel-mismanagement accidents in the same period; these made up just 2.7 percent of all instructional accidents in helicopters. The ability to make precautionary landings nearly anywhere is probably not the only factor in that difference.
Eleven cases aren't enough to support much analysis. For the record, four were complete fuel exhaustion; four more were ascribed to the pilots' failure to use carburetor heat; two to attempts to lean the fuel mixture; and one to a failure to switch tanks. Only two occurred on student solos.
The fixed-wing side, however, reveals some interesting patterns. Outright fuel exhaustion accounted for two-thirds of the accidents on student solos—not so surprising in light of the fact that less than 20 percent of the airplanes involved were models that required their pilots to change tanks. However, almost half those during primary dual instruction were the result of fuel starvation in airplanes that can only feed from one tank at a time; the instructors were cited for failing to assure the tanks were switched when needed. Given that students generally solo the same models in which they take their dual, this raises the disquieting possibility that students flying alone have actually done a better job than their CFIs of remembering to change tanks on time.
Starvation accounted for more than 70 percent of all fuel mismanagement accidents in advanced instruction, including four—three of them in twins—in which fuel selectors were set to the Off position in flight. This reflects not only the characteristically greater complexity of the airplanes used for advanced training (more than half were either twins or complex singles, and only four of these accidents involved models whose fuel selectors could be set to Both) but perhaps also better flight-planning and monitoring skills among more experienced pilots.
Still, in nearly 30 percent, inadequate planning or a lack of attention to fuel consumption during the flight resulted in exhaustion. Failures to make timely tank changes remained the most common mistake, however, accounting for nearly half of all fuel mismanagement during advanced dual instruction. Inappropriate use of boost pumps caused two accidents, and one was attributed to water contamination that should have been detected on preflight.
Compared to the total of more than 2,400 instructional accidents that took place in the same period, the 85 caused by inattention to fuel supplies might not sound so bad—until you realize that utterly preventable oversights wrecked an average of one aircraft every six weeks. The details suggest the prevention strategies. Students seem to do a pretty good job of remembering to change tanks if needed (perhaps aided by electronic timers or alarms), but CFIs risk getting too absorbed in the lesson to remember to tend to the aircraft. Students could benefit from closer scrutiny of their flight planning and clear direction about the advisability of taking on fuel during cross-countries, especially if they've gotten lost. And as we've suggested before, unless weight will be an issue for a subsequent lesson, there's no real advantage to sending any student off with tanks that are less than full.

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. -- The West Memphis Police Department said two men wanted for shooting at a police officer are in custody.
West Memphis Police say 20-year-old Jaylen Farmer and 19 year-old Vondre McClure were riding in a car that a patrol officer tried to pull over.
Capt. Joe Baker said the officer saw a traffic violation and pulled into a gas station to wait for the men to come out.
Baker said that as soon as the officer turned on his car lights, McClure, who was sitting in the backseat of the car, leaned out of the window with an AK-47 and began firing shots.
While the officer's patrol car was struck, the officer was not injured and continued to follow the suspects. The suspects wrecked the car they were driving and ran away on foot. Police found a cellphone at the crash scene.
Police issued warrants for Farmer and McClure on charges of attempted capital murder, discharging a firearm from a vehicle and engaging in violent criminal group activity. Police believe there was a third person in the car, but that person has yet to be identified.
Police said McClure turned himself in Saturday night. Farmer was taken into custody Sunday morning.
Both Farmer and McClure have been in trouble in West Memphis before. Farmer has a prior charge of carrying a weapon with an intent to commit a crime. McClure has a burglary and theft charge from last year. McClure is still on probation from those past charges.

You can celebrate by reading the newest column in the Tufts Daily, here. It opens with some exciting news that I hesitate to publish in this forum. Enticed?
The weekend was rather mellow-- most of my fellow CIEE students took off for Pingyao, a city I visited in my travels last summer. So I stayed here, and enjoyed a restful and productive weekend on campus. Boring, huh? I took a bunch of pictures, though, and I'll publish my favorites here over the course of this week. Expect one a day, so be sure to come back regularly. Let the festival commence:
Every Saturday, there's a little flea market on Beida campus. They mostly sell books, and some desk supplies. I bought some hard to find 0.7mm lead for my mechanical pencils. Although I paid a delightfully Chinese price, it also turned out to be of woefully Chinese quality. Every three characters, it breaks, and I have to reclick my pencil. Darn. Pictured above is someone's hand with some books. Got it? I apologize for the annoying angle.

Author Wendy Bertsch has penned an intelligent, riotously funny, tongue-in-cheek, yet respectful poke at the Old Testament. And she tells it all from a woman's perspective! I was utterly entertained from cover to cover. Told in modern language, and always with a touch of sarcasm aimed at the many beliefs and rites affecting womanhood, the book definitely tackles fascinating gender related topics. If you love comics who poke fun at gender differences, then you will adore this book!
The cast of characters in this colorful story includes Jezebel and the Queen of Sheba in addition to Eve and the men in these women's lives, and many more men and women from the Bible. The dialogue is quippy and clever, and always great fun. In fact, flip the book open to any page, and you will find something that will make you laugh out loud. Some of my favourite scenes pertained to Sodom and Gomorrah and the Coat of Many Colors, but there are so many others, far too numerous to mention, that are equally as entertaining.
Wendy Bertsch has forged a unique trail into a new form of humorous writing. Not only is she gifted with the ability to write comedic fiction, but she does so in a fresh, uninhibited manner that surprises and delights the reader. She is also the author of Dodging Shells, another must read, humorous novel about her father's adventures in World War II. Having read both books, I strongly recommend them to readers across all genres. I'm eagerly awaiting her next novel. Wendy Bertsch is one of my all-time favourite authors! Read the book and you will see why.
I read Once More…From The Beginning some time ago on Harper & Collins' highly competitive Authonomy site, a selection process for promising authors. This book more than held its own, comprising, as it does,of competent prose, scintillating wit, an intriguingly different perspective of biblical themes and revealing aspects of the character traits of the major players.
Irreverent but never irreligious its acerbic approach certainly appealed to my sense of fun. An enjoyable and highly recommended read.
Robert Davidson, Author of The Tuzla Run
This is the word of the Lord. Ah – men!!! But this time, a woman is having her say. This can cause problems. Snorts, guffaws, hooting sounds… disconcerting to those around the reader. But such slight embarrassment is a small price to pay for the delight of reading this glorious, soaring, irreverent* prose. Thanks be to Wendy for showing us the light.
*(Irreverent, but not sacrilegious)
Jane Bailey Bain, Author of Lifeworks
While Holy Books abound — it seems just about every religion has one or six — what this reader has always found lacking, is clever discourse on these august works of men. Unbending, rigid repetition has sadly been the primary form of discourse, immediately followed by, "Well, what use of ours could we possibly assign a better reinterpretation to?"
Well, enter author Wendy Bertsch and her absolutely brilliant, running monologue of a book that puts both the rigid adherents and the self righteous "on notice". As a former student of the ministry myself (really.), I found her humor not only a riot, but I also had to respect her scholarly approach. Among many of the leading religion's most sacred assembled writings, there is a paucity of leading roles or even handed mention of women or their viewpoints. This work puts this unfortunate situation to bed once and for all.
While it can be used as strictly a read-through entertainment, I also use my copy for blind, "pick-a-page, any page" style relief from moments when a dose of irreverence is absolutely needed. Once More also cries out to be performed. It would be a sold-out show anywhere people enjoy a good laugh and don't take themselves deadly serious. While I realize the deeply religious will probably not find their inspiration between its covers, they really should. A little laughter can always clear the air when things get stagnant and ossifying. Once More will provide lots and lots of clarity and leave the reader with some… revelations, too. Oops! I hope I haven't given anything away!
Richard Sutton, Author of The Red Gate
First of all, if there were a way to give 4.5 stars, I would have done that. This book is surprisingly funny for such a potentially explosive topic. As someone who has, in fact, read the Bible — I didn't even skip the "begats" — I can also say that Wendy Bertsch does a great job of telling the women's sides of the story without changing anything that's actually in the Biblical text. I particularly liked Rahab's rational decision to help the Israelites.
. . . All in all, I would recommend this for anyone with a good sense of humor — regardless of his or her religious affiliation.
Reviewer's note and update: I'm bumping my review up a star because I'm still laughing at this book and it's been more than a week since I read it. A book that sticks with me like that deserves another star.
Susan Wells Bennett, Author of An Unassigned Life
This is a charming, delightful and downright fun take on many of the well known stories from the Old Testament. Told mainly from the perspective of the women in the stories, while never irreverent, these fresh retellings reveal a history steeped in blatant misogyny, nepotism, racism and abuse. It's well worth the read (even if you have never read or have no interest in reading The Old Testament) and certainly makes you think of how 'precarious' life was in those very dark and oh so politically incorrect days!

In several Calcium–Aluminum-rich Inclusions (CAIs) from the CV3 chondrites Allende and Efremovka, representative of the most common igneous CAI types (type A, type B and Fractionated with Unknown Nuclear isotopic anomalies, FUN), the relationship between 16O-excesses and TiO2 content in pyroxene indicates that the latter commonly begins to crystallize with a near-terrestrial 16O-poor composition and becomes 16O-enriched during crystallization, reaching a near-solar composition. Mass balance calculations were performed to investigate the contribution of spinel to this 16O-enrichment. It is found that a back-reaction of early-crystallized 16O-rich spinel with a silicate partial melt having undergone a 16O-depletion is consistent with the O isotopic evolution of CAI minerals during magmatic crystallization. Dissolution of spinel explains the O isotopic composition (16O-excess and extent of mass fractionation) of pyroxene as well as that of primary anorthite/dmisteinbergite and possibly that of the last melilite crystallizing immediately before pyroxene. It requires that igneous CAIs behaved as closed-systems relative to oxygen from nebular gas during a significant fraction of their cooling history, contrary to the common assumption that CAI partial melts constantly equilibrated with gas. The mineralogical control on O isotopes in igneous CAIs is thus simply explained by a single 16O-depletion during magmatic crystallization. This 16O-depletion occurred in an early stage of the thermal history, after the crystallization of spinel, i.e. in the temperature range for melilite crystallization/partial melting and did not require multiple, complex or late isotope exchange. More experimental work is however required to deduce the protoplanetary disk conditions associated with this 16O-depletion.

Jeffrey Gibson's paintings and sculptures combine geometric abstract painting with the traditional craft materials of his Native American heritage. Gibson's provocative use of animal hide and abstraction relates both to indigenous culture and challenges the trajectory of modern art. Mixed media sculptures combine traditional craft with Op Art painting: drumheads—linked and suspended as a column—are painted with geometric patterns; a recycled army blanket is painted with related motifs and strung to a flagpole. Gibson's artworks are in the permanent collections including Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian, and the Denver Art Museum. Gibson has recently joined the faculty in the Studio Arts Program at Bard College and is a 2012 TED Foundation Fellow.

HUDSON, N.H. -- Two New Hampshire men were arrested on driving while intoxicated charges in separate crashes Sunday night into Monday, police said.
Around 8:20 p.m. Sunday night, Michael St. Onge, 31, of Nashua, New Hampshire was traveling north near 133 Dracut Road in Hudson, New Hampshire when his 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe allegedly went off the road and struck a utility pole, according to a Hudson Police Department press release.
St. Onge was uninjured in the wreck though he was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the release. He was alone in the Tahoe.
St. Onge was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated. This is allegedly St. Onge's second DWI offense, according to the release.
His bail was set at $1,000. He is slated to appear for arraignment at the 9th Circuit Court -- Nashua District Division on Sept. 28.
The utility pole had to be replaced by Eversource Crews, the release stated.
In a separate incident around 12:30 a.m. Monday, police responded to reports of a single-vehicle accident on Kienia Road near Stevens Drive in Hudson. Officers determined that a 2010 Ford F-150 had been traveling eastbound, went off the right side of the roadway and crashed into a tree, according to a police press release.
Police allege that neither the driver, 21-year-old Devin Quinn of Litchfield, New Hampshire, nor the passenger, 21-year-old Tyler O'Halloran of Hudson, was wearing a seatbelt. The Hudson Fire Department removed them from the vehicle.
Both were transported to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center with serious but non-life-threatening injuries, and O'Halloran was subsequently transferred to a Boston hospital. Quinn remained in the hospital's intensive-care unit Monday night.
Police arrested Quinn for allegedly driving while intoxicated. No bail or court date has been scheduled at this time, according to the press release.
The truck was damaged and had to be towed from the scene. Police closed the road for about 30 minutes.

It would make sense that with the recent change to Standard Time, so that we're actually getting up one hour later than before, that I'd be springing out of bed at the crack of dawn these days.
But, not so.
It's more a matter of dragging the body out of bed, already late for the start of the day, wishing I could stay in sleep mode for a while (or a lot) longer...
I'm chalking that up to the combination of being in between eclipses and also dealing with Mercury being retrograde -- a lot of energy shifts going on at the same time, that our bodies and psyches are having to accommodate. So it makes sense we might be needing more sleep than usual.
Anyone else having a similar experience?

A hernia is a protrusion (lump) that results from part of a bodily organ or piece of fatty tissue slipping through a weakness in the abdominal wall. The most common hernias are inguinal hernias (groin hernias), the name relates to the location of the hernia.
Hernias appear as a lump or bulge when standing, or following coughing or straining.

This is the best visual magnifier app that I have found. It is published by a reputable company, and has some nice features.
You can magnify an image up to 16 times without losing much definition, and can use a variety of coloured overlays. You cannot choose the exact shade of your overlay, which is a shame, but nevertheless it may be of use to some dyslexic learners as well as visually impaired learners, who are the main target audience.
This short video gives you a quick tour of the app:

I love making keepsake items as I find it hard to get rid of those especially sentimental items from those lovely early years of being a parent. However I understand that not everyone can bring themselves to cut up special clothes to make into a bear, so I have decided to start making bedding bears.
The are exactly the same as memory bears, although not patchwork, but still create a timeless keepsake.
I made my own one yesterday out of my daughter's old duvet cover. I had two of them so I decided to make the other one into a bear.
I am really please with how it has come out. Now we can remember those sleepless nights and bedtime tantrums forever...:)

He's just THE BEST CHARACTER I've ever seen in my entire laifu!
Boring! Everywhere I go I see one and the same dude on the top. Levi Levi Levi - honestly, in this manga are better and more developed characters than him.V 3 Comments
I love her character so much and I don't get all the hate for her she helps everyone she so cute and is the most badass female in anime (In my opinion) she is waifu for laifu
How can someone hate him? He's everything to be loved! Actually, I don't see why in most of Riren/Ereri fanfics, the authors describe Levi as a hot beauty while Eren be like an useless character. what, dude? It's not like I hate Levi, but that's too much! Are you guys blind? Eren is more breath-taking than Levi. Levi is an old man, having wrinkles under his eyes and always looks grumpy like a grandfather. I'm sorry, but that's what I'm seeing. Eren should at least be thought the same way as you think what Levi is. Eren's weak, but he's not that useless. What do you think he is? A trash? Guys, he killed TITANS. Yes- most of the titans he killed is when he's in his titan form. However, he's being useful there. If he doesn't want to help them, humanity doesn't stand a chance to live a peaceful life. They'll just wait until the time they die, getting devoured by the titans.
I love Levi, don't get me wrong, but I just love watching Eren. I always feel like I'm there with him and I always want him to succeed. He's just so passionate about everything ("KILL ALL THE TITANS BLARGHAGFAHL! "). I think it's adorable. He's such an angry little man.
What about his mom?
His outlook on life and fiery passion and character development make eren my absolute favorite character. that, and the way he interacts with mikasa and armin is perfect. he is perect-V 1 Comment
One of the main reasons why I love this manga is because all the characters have such detailed personalities. That being said Jean is my favorite because he is constantly overcoming his weaknesses as a soldier and while being one of the biggest jack asses in the series. If that's not pristine writing, I don't know what is...
Hanji she's so awesome I love her so much
Hanji is a gift
Armin is so awesome and he can be so cute
The Contenders
She is the Queen!

This week I plan to make lists of your suggestions and start incorporating them into this blog. Yes, I can see the lists now, many, many lists, pretty lists, all color coded and organized and tabbed - I could make a new list journal - one that's green, no blue. . . oops, sorry - ahem, back to your suggestions. . . . Yes, many wonderful suggestions were given - and I smiled with each one - so thank you for making today a great day for me! (As for the suggestion to include recipes - the next time the kids and I make a batch of my grandma's "scotcheroos" - I'm totally posting it!! Get ready for some seriously good, only-give-the-kids-one-so-you-can-have-the-rest, sweet treats!)
{1/5/09 WINNER} And the winner of the 50 sheets of 12x12 Bazzill cardstock is. . . . .
who said: "Congratutlations on your new blog!! I would love to see LOTS OF TUTORIALS. . . for cardmaking, scrapbooks, etc. A good ongoing tips and techniques feature would be suggestions for color combinations!! I am excited about your blog!!
January 5, 2009 7:58am
CONGRATULATIONS!! Just e-mail your info (name, shipping address, e-mail) to email@example.com and your cardstock will ship tomorrow morning!!!
Okay - for today I have an album to share - not the one from yesterday (although I'll be posting that one soon - once I take pictures of all the pages). This album is an "All About Me" album I made for a good friend who was turning {gulp} 30. She had done such an over-the-top lead-in to my {double gulp} 40th birthday last year that I wanted to celebrate her special day in style. On a side note - she started 40 days before my 40th birthday - and then delivered one present each day until my birthday. Some were small - some were funny - some were crafty - some were meaningful - but all were amazing. It gave me a reason to wake up in the morning (you know, other than "how can I get to the coffee pot before someone asks me for something")!
I'll do my best to list the supplies and techniques I used. But, please e-mail me if you want more details, more pictures (yeah, because I took 51 of them - ack), or any other info - and I'll do my best to answer any questions.
Okay, below is the album cover. The album is one of the suede ones - can't think of the manufacturer (as the album now lives in Texas) - but it is 8x8, has a square opening on the cover for a picture and comes with 10 (maybe 12) page protectors. For the flower decoration, I just pulled out the little plastic thing in the picture insert and then 'bradded' all the flowers to it. Then, just kind of bend the plastic thing and smooshed it back in place.
For the general layout of this album I stuck to one paper manufacturer (Basic Grey - Urban Couture line) so everything matched - and of course Bazzill cardstock. I started with an assembly line process: cut all cardstock to 8 x 8 (2 of each color), cut all patterned paper to 8 x 3 (two strips of each pattern) and cut all paper strips to 8 x 3/4 (for this strip I used the 'plain' papers included in the Basic Grey paper pack). Next I inked the edges of all of it (because I like to torture myself like that) - I used Tim Holtz' distressing ink in Vintage Photo - and then just glued it down.
Next step - I took the tag sheet that comes in the Basic Grey paper pack and modge-podged the tags onto the Basic Grey chipboard tags that come in the same size. This step took the longest because of the drying time. The next time - I'm going to use a glue stick and a brayer - it seems to adhere just as well. Oh - and for those of you who have a 'brayer' in your tool stash and have never known what to do with it (like me) - it works great when you're adhering larger items (like paper to chipboard or layouts to chipboard backing). Just put on the glue, lay on whatever you're gluing - and then roll over it with the brayer to make sure all the parts stick.
Once the tags are done - I went through my ribbon stash and pulled out a few that coordinated - then threaded the ribbon through the tags.
In all seriousness, I learned from a very good friend that you just can't over think the matching process when it comes to embellishments and ribbon and such. You've got to focus on the big picture - and it's not likely the gift recipient will open the album and think "great overall aesthetics - but that green ribbon just ruins it for me". This same friend taught me to just breathe, choose quickly and then move on. The friend you ask?? The uber-talented Jenn Johnson - ring any bells?? Yeah, she's great. She saved my life.
Okay, back to the album. Below is the title page - "A Celebration of Emily at 30". Supplies: rub-ons (Basic Grey), chipboard A (Heidi Swapp), stamps (Stampin' Up), stickers (Basic Grey - included in paper pack) and (Making Memories). The flowers are from my stash - and the fabric tag in the upper right corner, not certain about that one either (sorry) - but it came in a pack of 6 tabs - assorted sizes.
Pages 2-3 - the brown mat on the left is for a current picture - you know, seeing that she's all young and 30 and gorgeous! The right page has room for her to journal her thoughts about her life right now. Supplies: small tag (Stampin' Up), large tag (7 gypsies), journaling sheet (Making Memories), twine (Stampin' Up), stickers (Basic Grey) rub-ons (American Crafts, Making Memories), stamps (studio g).
Pages 4-5 - left page "My family" is for a picture of, well, her family. The left page says "Our Story". Supplies: journaling tag on left (My Mind's Eye, cut in half), journaling tag on left (Hambly maybe?), rub-ons (American Crafts, My Mind's Eye), stickers (Making Memories), chipboard letter (Heidi Swapp), adhesive lace tape, brads, flowers and plastic "family" (my stash).
Pages 6-7 - these pages are for Emily to put some of her favorite photos. (And if you've ever seen her amazingly beautiful self and crazy beautiful kids - you know this is no small task!). Supplies: journaling tag on bottom left (bottom half of My Mind's Eye tag from page 2), rub-ons (Bo Bunny Press, American Crafts).
Below was just one of my favorite things from this album :-)
When Emily and I were first getting to know each other - one of her first questions was about the music I listened to. . . So, I thought she would appreciate a place to list her current favorites. Like, when I was 30 (so long ago) - I would have listed the likes of {swoon} Randy Travis, REM, or Vanilla Ice. I mean, what's better than a mom who can totally sing every word to Ice Ice Baby? Wait, that's not cool? Oh snap, my kids were right. . . Ahem, supplies: journaling stamp (Autumn Leaves), stickers (Basic Grey), chipboard bracket (American Crafts), little green flowers (Oriental Trading Co), adhesive lace tape (??).
Pages 8-9 - "10 random facts about me". For all those mothers among us - it's easy to forget who we are in the midst of daily life. I wanted to provide a place where my friend could list things about herself she might have forgotten - or things she'd like her children to know about her - or whatever. . . I didn't leave too much space because I didn't want to create any stress - just short and sweet. Supplies: tags (large from U-line and the rest from Stampin' Up), stamps (Image Tree), chipboard bracket (American Crafts), rub-ons (Basic Grey), chipboard letters and numbers (Heidi Swapp).
Pages 10-11 - Emily is a very crafty gal (of the sewing and general creative sort) - so I wanted her to have a place to keep things that are inspiring to her right now. That tag on the left says "observations". Supplies: stickers (Basic Grey), journaling tag (7 gypsies), brackets (American Crafts), twine (Stampin' Up), stamp (savvy stamps - it looks like a upc bar code - I use it all the time).
Pages 12-13 - "30 Things to see, do, be. . .". This is a place to put all the things she'd like to accomplish in the next 30 years. I thought it would be fun for her children to see what she hopes to do in her life. The tag on the right side reads "My dreams". Supplies: chipboard (Heidi Swapp), stickers (Basic Grey), rub-ons (Bo Bunny Press, American Crafts).
Another close up of the title.
Can you tell I'm addicted to rub-ons?? Someday I'll show you my stash - sorted by size, theme and color (of course). Yeah, that's another thing you'll learn about me - compulsive behavior makes for a much more interesting gal (I figure if I say it enough - even I'll believe it??).
Pages 14-15 - "My hobbies". Just another fun page to put things she enjoys doing right now. I love reading my mom's journals from when we were little and getting some insight into her as a person - not just as my mom. Fascinating really. I wanted to give Emily a place to do the same - show her children she isn't just a mom - but that she's so much more. Supplies: rub-ons (Bo Bunny Press, American Crafts), chipboard letters (Heidi Swapp).
Yep - love those rub-ons. This one reads: "Be still, at peace, free" - it's from Bo Bunny.
I'd love to talk about how symbolic these butterflies are - but I'm not that deep really - I just like them - and they were brown.
Pages 16-17 = "Prayers for my kids". If there's one thing that will make any mother melt into a puddle of goo - it's worrying about her children. Shortly after my first child was born I was consumed with worries about pretty much anything you can imagine (like most new moms). I started reading "Power of a Praying Parent" by Stormie Omartian - and I'm telling you - another thing that saved my life! I worked as a probation officer too long to ever see this world as all roses - but reading this book and letting go of some of the weight truly helped me find a balance. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED book for any parent!! Supplies: rub-ons (American Crafts, Scrapworks, Basic Grey), chipboard letters (Heidi Swapp), journaling tags (7 gypsies, K & Company, Making Memories), chipboard bracket (American Crafts), stickers (Basic Grey).
Pages 18-19 - This page is simply titled "Emily Nicole" (however, it should read "Nichole" - oh snap). The rub-on word on the left page says "beauty". The journaling sheet on the left reads "Just a Few Things to Remember" - and the red rub-on word reads "reflections". Because so many of us don't see our own beauty - this is a page for Emily's favorite picture - of herself. Even if that means setting the camera on a tri-pod and filling up an entire memory card. . . we all need to find a picture of ourselves we can look at and think "I can see it now - me - and it's okay". Supplies: chipboard letters (Heidi Swapp), chipboard bracket (American Crafts), rub-ons (Bo Bunny Press, American Crafts, Making Memories).
Page 20 (WHEW - you made it!!). The tag on this one says "Believe" and the words underneath it read "in you". The year is listed in the bottom right corner as well. A place for a parting shot - maybe on the day before she turns 31???

Raised (USD)
For a birthday project for Danneel Ackles who has supported this charity before, we wish to raise money!
Due to the fact we really wish to raise the full amount for Hats Off For Cancer, we have decided to extend the deadline to the 18th April. Please, please consider donating!
FansForDanneel is an unofficial fansite dedicated to Danneel Ackles. We bring fans the latest updates, news, images and videos pertaining to her life and career!
Hats Off For Cancer collects and donates hats of all kinds to the courageous children who lose their hair due to cancer treatments.
As one of the leading and original hat programs, Hats Off For Cancer has donated more than 2 million brand new hats to hospitals, camps, and individuals worldwide since 1996.
The program was founded by Tara (Lawrence) Bracher at age 14 after losing her grandfather to prostate cancer. Attending fundraising events for cancer research, Tara met kids her age who were battling cancer. The children told her over and over again how much they hated to lose their hair. After hearing this from so many children, Tara knew she could do something to help. In 1996, she began writing letters to companies, sports teams, and celebrities asking for the simple donation of a hat. The charity received more than 1,000 hats in the first three months, and has grown in the past 16 years to help more than 1.5 million children and set up drives on five different continents.
Still run as 100% volunteer, all funds go directly to purchasing, storing, and shipping hats, as well as helping cancer patients' families in need, and running the Mad Hatter drive events around the world.
Hats Off For Cancer is recognized by the IRS as a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization.
Due to the fact we really wish to raise the full amount for Hats Off For Cancer, we have decided to extend the deadline to the 18th April. Please, please consider donating!
We've now hit 10% of our goal, a total of $100! Thank you so much to those who have donated so far - it means a lot!
FansForDanneel.com is a fansite dedicated to Danneel, to provide news, updates, images and videos!
This year, 18th March, is Danneel's 37th birthday and we wanted to celebrate it by hosting a small fundraiser, with the donations going to a specific charity!
At this point, we are starting with a goal of $500 which we feel is generous and also do-able! However more than this amount can be raised, which would be even more generous!
Going through numerous charities, we decided to raise the funds for a charity that Jensen and Danneel have raised money for before; Hat's Off For Cancer. If you can remember, before their daughter Justice was born, instead of gifts, the couple asked for donation's here, which surpassed the initial amount!
Hat's Off For Cancer is a very special charity as it provides hat's for children suffering from the disease. To find out more, check here: http://hatsoffforcancer.org/about/
See the initial post of the official site about Jensen and Danneel's fundraiser: http://hatsoffforcancerblog.com/tag/danneel-harris-ackles/
And the original campaign: https://fundly.com/baby-ackles-gift
Just to be clear, FansForDanneel.com receives NO MONEY from this fundraiser. 100% (unless a small percentage applies towards fees) goes towards the charity.
We would like to thank people beforehand and would love if you could spread the word.
Ideally the campaign should last at least 60 days, which puts the end date in early March. Updates shall be posted continuously on our social media and website:
Mar 17
Jan 20
Jan 12
Can't donate? Please share. Even a quick share on Facebook can help.
The average share raises $97.

Best Practices
TEACHER IN CHARGE: Ms. SREEPRIYA P KANA, TGT (ENGLISH)
Vidyalaya Vani was implemented with an aim to develop proficiency in language and improve public speaking and communication skills. It also provide a platform for showcasing creative talents of children. The existing Public Address system is utilised for the purpose. A schedule was prepared for the radio show. The project started with class eleven presenting an informative programme on the use of idioms in English, Recitation of poems and a paper presentation regarding the formation of halo round the sun. In the days that followed a variety of programmes like success mantras, Home remedies, Career guidance, story telling, learn to pronounce, This Day in History and book reviews were presented.
TEACHER IN CHARGE: Ms. P.SUCHITRA, TGT (SCIENCE)
It was noticed that the sense of belongingness among the students was dwindling day by day .The need to inculcate self-discipline and the sense of belongingness within their immediate environment was felt. The idea was put forward for open discussion in the general Staff Meeting. The suggestions given by the teachers were considered and a Plan of Action was outlined by the Teacher in Charge of the Project.
TEACHER IN CHARGE: Ms. USHA MALAYAPPAN, PGT (ECONOMICS)
In the present scenario, the students are drifting away from the values and tradition that they have to imbibe as the future citizens of a nation rich in tradition and culture. The need to make the students self-disciplined and self-reliant in all the walks of life was felt. A plan was chalked out, covering almost all the aspects related to student life. This Project was put into action in the previous Academic Session (2014-15) and has been continued in this Session also.

A system of awarding Library Points to reward the readers for their reading and library related activities was introduced in as the first step towards motivating the students to read. Prior to this, the students were not bothered about the quantity or quality of the library resources they have utilized. The User of the Month (Monthly), Reading Achievement Awards (Annual), the Best User Awards (Annual) and the Class of Readers Award (Annual) distributed during the previous year have found to be made and impact among the students and we wanted to retain the interest so generated. Also there should be a quantitative fool proof method which is transparent for selecting the User of the Month and the Reading Achievement Awards.
CLUB COORDINATOR: MS.RUGMINI MENON K, TGT English
The seed club f Kendriya Vidyalaya Kanjikode was formed in the month of July 2015, as a part of the initiative to make the campus clean and green and also to instill in the students the sense of cleanliness and conservation. It is a venture coined by the Mathrubhumi Daily.

Marlins rally, but fall to Cubs in opener
MIAMI -- Before taking the field for Opening Day, Marlins management conveyed to the club the importance of competing and giving maximum effort for the entire game.
With four rookies in the lineup, the Marlins did just that. But they weren't able to rally and fell, 8-4, to the Cubs on Thursday afternoon in front of 32,151 at Marlins Park.View Full Game Coverage
MIAMI -- Before taking the field for Opening Day, Marlins management conveyed to the club the importance of competing and giving maximum effort for the entire game.
With four rookies in the lineup, the Marlins did just that. But they weren't able to rally and fell, 8-4, to the Cubs on Thursday afternoon in front of 32,151 at Marlins Park.View Full Game Coverage
"If hope is an indicator, [and] I feel like it will be," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "We're going to play, that's for sure. I just look at it and feel like we're going to be all right."
Video: CHC@MIA: Mattingly on Urena's tough outing in loss
The maturity of the Cubs showed early and late, and although the Marlins erased a three-run deficit early and pulled even at 4 in the third inning, they weren't able to execute late and were hurt by home runs from Ian Happ, Anthony Rizzo and Kyle Schwarber.
Happ homered on Jose Urena's first pitch. According to Stats, Happ is the first player to homer on the first pitch of the regular season since the Red Sox's Dwight Evans did so in 1986 against Hall of Fame inductee Jack Morris and the Tigers.
Video: CHC@MIA: Announcers predict Happ's first-pitch smash
"The first inning was we were going to attack the hitters with fastballs," Urena said. "We knew they were going to be aggressive."
Urena said early jitters didn't get to him, but he allowed three runs in the frame, walking two and hitting three batters. According to Baseball Reference, Urena is the first starter to hit three batters on Opening Day since 1908, and he did it in one inning.
Video: CHC@MIA: Urena fans Contreras for the first K of 2018
The Marlins tied it in the third inning off Jon Lester, capitalizing on Derek Dietrich's triple, and RBIs from Justin Bour, Garrett Cooper and Brian Anderson, who had two singles and two RBIs on the afternoon.
The Marlins were able to get Lester, making his seventh Opening Day start, out of the game after 3 1/3 innings.
"Don't expect to go out there and go through the motions," center fielder Lewis Brinson said. "Every game that we play, we expect to win. That may be far-fetched for some people, but it's just the way we're believing in this clubhouse and that's the attitude we're going to have."
Holding the line: After the Cubs reclaimed the lead, 5-4, in the fourth inning on Willson Contreras' two-out, RBI double, the Marlins had chances in the fourth and fifth innings. In each frame they had a runner on third with less than two outs, and twice reliever Steve Cishek, a former Marlin, turned Miami away. Cishek struck out Starlin Castro and retired Bour on a fly ball to left to strand Cameron Maybin on third in the fourth inning. In the fifth, with Cooper on third and Miguel Rojas (who doubled) on second, Cishek fanned Chad Wallach and got pinch-hitter Tomas Telis to pop to short.
Video: CHC@MIA: Cooper ties the game with a single in 3rd
"We get it to 4-4. I look at that fourth and fifth," Mattingly said. "We had a chance to tie it, and we weren't able to execute two innings in a row. Then they were able to add on."
Seventh inning stretched: The Marlins trailed, 5-4, in the seventh, and with one out, Schwarber homered off Tayron Guerrero, who struck out the first four batters he faced. Guerrero appeared to tire, and he exited after allowing two straight batters to reach. Drew Steckenrider entered and struck out Javier Baez. Steckenrider fell behind pinch-hitter LaStella, 3-0, and was able to work the count full. LaStella's two-run double broke open a four-run lead.
Video: CHC@MIA: Guerrero fans Rizzo to K the side in the 6th
"Today we weren't able to stop them late," Mattingly said. "We don't execute a couple of innings and that really changed the game."
"They have a high fan base, everybody knows that. But so do we. We've got to build ours. I heard plenty of Marlins fans out there. I'm glad for everybody that showed up today -- Cubs or Marlins fans. We'll get them out to the ballpark. All we have to do is win games." -- Brinson, on the energy in the ballpark
Dietrich was hit by a pitch in the ninth inning by Mike Montgomery. It's the 73rd time in Dietrich's career that's been struck, including two on Opening Day, the most in franchise history.
Caleb Smith, one of 12 Marlins to appear on an Opening Day roster for the first time, makes his debut with the Marlins on Friday for the 7:10 p.m. ET game at Marlins Park. Smith made nine appearances (two starts) for the Yankees last season, and in 18 2/3 innings, he had a 7.71 ERA. At two Minor League levels, the lefty was 9-1 with a 2.41 ERA.

Abilene Police Warns Drivers And Passengers To Buckle Up; "Click It Or Ticket" Seat Belt Enforcement May 19 - June 1 (Press Release)
ABILENE, TX – The Abilene Police Department is joining forces with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and law enforcement agencies across Texas to remind drivers and passengers to always wear their seat belt. To provide additional motivation, law enforcement officers will give extra focus to ticketing unbuckled drivers and passengers throughout the "Click It or Ticket" enforcement period, which runs from May 19 to June 1.
A seat belt is your best defense in the event of a crash. For more than a decade, TxDOT has sponsored the annual "Click It or Ticket" campaign to warn motorists to buckle up or pay up. Only 76 percent of Texans used seat belts when the campaign began in 2002. Today, 9 out of 10 drivers buckle up.
A properly fastened seat belt is the best way to avoid death or serious injury in a vehicle crash. Lap belts should fit snugly across the hips, not over the stomach. Shoulder belts go over the shoulder and across the center of the chest. Wearing a seat belt increases the chances of surviving a serious crash by 45 percent. In pickup trucks, that number jumps to 60 percent because pickup trucks are more likely than passenger cars to roll over in a crash, and seat belts keep occupants from being thrown out of the vehicle.
Drivers and adult passengers can be ticketed if they aren't buckled up, and violations can result in fines and court costs of up to $145. Children younger than 8 years old must be in an age-appropriate child safety seat or booster seat unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches. Fines issued to drivers for unrestrained children in their vehicle can be as high as $255.
Abilene Police Department and TxDOT remind motorists to buckle up properly every time they get in a vehicle. For "Click It or Ticket" campaign details, visit texasclickitorticket.com.

There are several areas where it is possible to determine the sexes of Corydoradinae. Some species are relatively easy and others are darn near impossible. Here I have attempted to give pointers and show the relevant indicators.
As a general rule it's the females of the species that grow larger in body length than males, this is referred to as Standard Length or SL. In some species this can be as much as 40% larger.

Achievements in Cyprus 2004-2009
In Cyprus, the funds were allocated in equal shares to protect cultural heritage, support civil society, and to the environmental sector. In the UN-controlled buffer zone in Nicosia, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway funded the establishment of a new centre aiming to foster closer cooperation and dialogue between civil society from both communities in Cyprus. The establishment of the shared centre was led by the Association for Historical Dialogue and Research, comprising Turkish-Cypriot and Greek-Cypriot educators and historians.
The Home for Cooperation (H4C) was inaugurated in the presence of the leaders of the island's two communities who expressed their strong support for the Home and their hopes for it to play a role in strengthening cooperation and dialogue between the island's two communities. Efforts to increase island-wide cooperation between the two communities on Cyprus were also supported under the €1.5 million NGO Fund. Representing over a third of the total allocation, in relative terms this was the largest of the NGO Funds in any beneficiary state. Of the 33 projects supported by the Fund, close to 40% were implemented in cooperation between organisations from the Greek and Turkish Cypriot communities. The NGO projects were aimed at improving health and childcare services or empowering young people to take part in civil society.
In the environmental field, an old school building in Salamiou village was restored and turned into the Centre for Environmental Education. The Centre gives a new boost to the area by attracting students and teachers from all over Cyprus to gather to study sustainability and environmental issues.

The initial boiling point of 163 ° C, the melting point of 35.5 ° C, the flash point of 73.9 ° C, the boiling point of 163.8 ° C, relative density (50 ° C) 0.905, soluble in alcohol, ether, soluble in water, 1 g of this product dissolved in 40ml of water.
Uses: pivalic acid because of its structure of the particularity, in the synthesis of fine chemical products has a wide range of applications. Pivalic Acid Widely used in pesticides, pharmaceuticals, initiators, coatings, for high-grade paint polymerization initiator photosensitive materials, spices, lubricants and many other areas.
Special valproic acid in the middle of the list of dangerous chemicals can not be found, the SAWT has a document is found in the list are not called dangerous chemicals, and other valmatic flash point of 73.9 ℃, under normal circumstances flash Points are higher than 61 ℃ are not called hazardous chemicals, Pivalic Acid so special valeric acid is not dangerous chemicals.
A method for producing pivalic acid is as follows: The carbon tetrafilde containing butadiene and sulfuric acid are mixed in a reactor in the same manner as in the case of carbon tetrafilde containing no butadiene, sulfuric acid and carbon monoxide as raw materials, In a certain temperature and pressure under the esterification reaction, the lower part of the upper layer containing isobutene little raffinate, Pivalic Acid the lower layer and carbon monoxide carbonylation reaction, the hydrolysis, separation after the finished product, the main point is: its characteristics are: The butadiene-containing carbon fraction (1) is used in place of the isobutene to produce pivalic acid. Compared with the prior art, the product is produced by the reaction of carbon tetrafilde containing butadiene, sulfuric acid and carbon monoxide to produce pivalic acid, and the dilute sulfuric acid part of the hydrolysis reaction is directly used as raw material for esterification reaction, and the other part is concentrated As a carbonylation reaction raw materials recycled. The invention reduces the hydrolysis of tert-butyl sulfate, the dehydration of tert-butyl alcohol and the rectification process of crude isobutene, and reduces the amount of dilute sulfuric acid in comparison with the process of carbonylation of p-butyric acid by sulfuric acid absorption-decomposition method. Reduce investment and reduce energy consumption, Pivalic Acid thus greatly reducing the cost of production.

Application of water quality indices for evaluating water quality and anthropogenic impact assessment
- 51 Downloads
Influences of different environmental variables are predicted to increase during the next century in association with abrupt changes in water quality. Determining the magnitude of such effects is difficult because variation of environmental variables is generally unpredictable, and thus, available data are rare. In this study, water quality monitoring was conducted based on new operational indicators and multi-metric indices to evaluate water quality status and biological response at temporal and spatial scales in west coastal water of Malaysia. The trophic state index ranged from 6 to 8 in temporal and spatial scales and suggested a highly productive system with a high trophic level, characteristic of a low-quality system. The eutrophication index varied from 0.65 to 4.45 and most of the samples had a bad (49%) or poor (45.5%) water quality, and only 5.3% of the water samples had a moderate productive system with a moderate trophic level. In West Port, anthropogenic sources and natural processes are likely to contribute to increase in nutrient concentrations and trophic level in the water column. During the study period, no secondary symptoms or eutrophication events occurred which could be due to water exchange and hydrodynamic turbulence, which prevented the eutrophication development at this region.

This is a small reflection of a larger reality that exists in U.S. law enforcement, one that helps explain the brutality and militarization that now characterizes so many police forces. Since 9/11, cops have been traveling abroad to learn from one of the most repressive and dangerous State forces in the world today—the Israeli military and intelligence apparatus.
Political commentator John Miranda recently stated that police brutality is directly linked to the training some officers receive in Israel.
At least 300 high-ranking U.S. sheriffs and police from all over the country, as well as FBI and US Customs and Border Protection agents, have traveled to Israel to learn first-hand the most efficient means of subduing populations. The purported reason is counterterrorism, but protests and crowd control methods are commonly discussed.
Police are not learning from the Israeli criminal law sector that deals with Jewish residents. U.S. police are learning from Israel's military justice system, which controls Palestinians through paramilitary and counterinsurgency tactics. Residents of Gaza and the West Bank live in what is essentially a giant prison camp, where oppression and brutality from the IDF is a way of life. The use of excessive or deadly force for crowd control is rarely questioned.
Three organizations are responsible for sending U.S. cops to Israel for training—the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), the American Jewish Committee's Project Interchange and the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs. The ADL insulted victims of police brutality last month when it honored the St. Louis Police Department (SLPD) just days ahead of the anniversary of Michael Brown's killing. The SLPD was the first department to enroll in ADL's training program.The St. Louis Chapter of Jewish Voices for Peace issued a scathing statement in response: "We have cringed as the ADL positions itself locally as a champion of racial profiling legislation while sending US police – including former St. Louis County Police Chief Tim Fitch – to train on population control in Israel, an apartheid police state with more than 60 years of sophisticated expertise in racial profiling, mass incarceration, settler colonialism, and ethnic cleansing targeting the non-Jewish indigenous Palestinian people."
This occupation-style policing has made its way to U.S. cities and towns and has become standard operating procedure at any protest of government. Also, the very same equipment used by Israeli military for crowd control—tear gas grenades, triple chaser gas canisters, and stun grenades—were used at demonstrations in Ferguson, Oakland and Anaheim. The LRAD (long-range acoustic device) was also used by both Ferguson police and Israeli military forces.

Invader Zim is the titular protagonist of the show of the same name, although he's mostly depicted as an anti-hero. He is viewed as the most idiotic of all the Org villains. Zim is a member of the Sucky Alliance.
Canon BioEdit
The title character of the cartoon, Invader Zim is a short Irken defective, that despite his size feels that he is superior to and unchallenged by the other Irkens and universal creatures, due to his intelligence, ingenuity, skill in many applications, and destructively inclined nature. This seems to imply that he suffers from a Napoleon complex. He can be a very irritable, impatient, anger-driven, and sometimes accident prone character, but enjoys a good snack and loves to invent and create new things. Jhonen Vasquez, the creator of the show, states in an IGN interview, "I always imagined Zim as just being utterly unaware of his shortcomings, to a dangerous extent even. He's not really stupid, but he's got some problems getting priorities straight. He's this alien from an incredibly advanced race (technologically anyhow), with access to a universe of power. And yet he stays in school all day, enduring it, hating it, fearing it and freaking out about it. The thought of sneaking out or setting a robot in his place never crosses his mind. He gets so caught up with the most unimportant details, he ends up getting nothing done; he gets a giant robot, and his plan is to go beat Dib up. It was cool to remind people that he really was in control of some impressive stuff, but that his sense of control was so horrible that it didn't matter if his plans were foolproof."
Appearance in UltimaEdit
Zim first joined the Organization in the story, Villain Interviews. In this tale, Zim, along with his robot sidekick GIR, was asked to present his skills and abilities to the interviewers, the Harbingers Pete, Hamsterviel, and Mojo Jojo. Unfortunately, all he suceeded in was irritating them with his constant need to display his skills, despite being turned down. He and GIR were quickly thrown out. From then on, Zim has made appearances in several Ultima stories. His biggest role includes him forming a group with four other "lame" villains which they dubbed The Sucky Alliance. Along from Zim and GiR, the other members include The Toilenator, The Box Ghost, Kilgore, and Control Freak. Despite his status, Zim is one of the most notorious members in the Organization, and perhaps the most pestering.

Some foods we are eating but those terribly harmful for the health
Our day to day life we eat many foods but, some of them can even cause death not immediately but indeed gradually...
3. Rhubarb Leaves
Rhubarb might bake up all kinds of delicious sweets, but the leaves are poisonous, causing breathing trouble, seizures, kidney failure, and in some cases, death.
4. Potatoes
Potatoes have both poisonous stems and leaves, but even so, potato poisoning is rare. Most potato-related death deaths come from eating green potatoes or drinking potato leaf tea.
