Curriculum Highlights:
Our 7th and 8th grade curriculum embodies our mission of promoting academic excellence, community service and environmental responsibility through family and community partnerships. Our teachers intertwine STEAM principles, service learning, environmental activism and a technological component into every unit they create. For example, our 7th graders solve real world problems involving surface area and volume by investigating cereal boxes. They study how the shape of a box affects the volume of cereal that a box could hold. That information allows them to calculate the amount of cardboard that would be saved if Cheerios converted from a rectangular box to a cubical box, and then they send their findings and suggestions to General Mills. Students then use this information to calculate the number of boxes they will need to hold all of our food pantry donations so that they can order accordingly.
We treat thinking as a verb rather than a noun and challenge our students to apply concepts and analyze and evaluate the ideas that they learn in class. Students learn to see problems from more than one angle and to understand the role that various organizations play in local and global issues. To prepare our students to meet the challenges of the future we offer a wide array of rigorous courses to suit every student's wants and needs that promote the following Learning Gate ideals.
- 8th grade high school credit Algebra 1 Honors – optional
- Highest EOC pass rate in Hillsborough Count over the past 3 years
- 100% EOC pass rate in 2017
- 8th grade high school credit Introductory Physical Science (IPS) – optional

I worked with Kochar InfoTech as an IT Intern. My project included building a Hadoop Ecosystem for real-time data processing as well as storage. It has been a great learning experience for me since I was completely new to this highly in-demand technology. The work environment here at Kochar inspires one to work hard while maintaining good work-life balance. The colleagues around here are really helpful. I would specially like to thank my mentor Mr. Puneet Mehra for believing in my abilities and being there for me throughout. Time spent at Kochar would certainly help me for life.
Working in Kochar Infotech Limited has been a splendid experience! While working in this company, I learnt to prioritize my work, how to manage time between various tasks which otherwise in college life we don't get to explore. I find myself way more confident than I was before starting my internship, which is a great improvement for me. Work environment was sociable & supportive. All the fellow colleagues were really helpful and everyday, I got something new to learn.
Working at Kochar has been wonderful! I feel lucky to be introduced to new and in demand technologies like Big Data and Distributed Computing. Being part of the Kochar team has allowed me to work and understand these new technologies and learn from a practical approach. The tasks pushed me to challenge myself with new information and knowledge while learning its application and practicality. I feel grateful to be a part of real time projects and understanding the importance of timeline at work. It helped me grow as a responsible person.
Being an intern at KocharTech was really a delightful experience. It provided me a platform to gain practical knowledge based on real industry standards in IT, which is steps ahead than the theoretical aspect we explore in books. My mentor and seniors involved in the project with me helped me navigate through the project with ease. With a nice office, healthy environment and co-operative staff, we got hands-on experience on various tools and technologies. Overall, KocharTech provides a great platform to learn, especially to freshers.

Game one didn't go as many people thought it would. Now NBA fans are thinking 180 degrees from the way they were two days ago. Cleveland came in super hot off a sweep of Toronto and was 1.5 point dogs at Boston. Solid bet right? Nope. Boston dominated Cleveland and won 108-83. It wasn't close.
Now game 2 and we have Cleveland -1 (5dimes sportsbook) at Boston. The line was issued at a PK but has since moved a little. My assumption is that people cannot see Cleveland going down 2-0. I mean we have seen it before... Lebron's back against the wall and he takes it to the super star level and takes over the game and series. Its got to happen again right?
I wouldn't necessarily say that his back is against the wall yet.
Boston at home is 29-20 ATS. Cleveland is just 22-25 ATS on the road. But, the public seems to be taking the Celtics at home now. 80% of cash and 67% of tickets are on Boston as of right now. What to do.
After seeing the way Boston dominated the other night and the fact that Boston is clearly good at home and Cleveland is bad away, I have no choice but to take Boston getting a point. If anything it is a value play. I can see Clev being down 0-2 and their backs getting closer to the wall metaphorically speaking.

East Chicago, Indiana
18-year-old brothers Antwon Jones, at left, and D. Jones pose for a portrait near their home in the West Calumet Housing Complex. "This is where we hang out every day. We are still here with the lead," D. Jones said.
Though city officials learned the extent of lead and arsenic levels in the soil in late May, very few residents have moved out as of the first week of October. Many say it has been hard to find an equivalent home in the area.
The West Calumet Housing Complex, which is currently home to about 1,200 people, is located on a 79-acre Environmental Protection Agency Superfund site where a USS Lead facility was located in East Chicago, Indiana. Up until 1985, a lead refinery, a copper smelter and a secondary lead smelter were also in the area. The houses were built between the late 1960s and early 1970s.
East Chicago is zoned close to 80 percent heavy industrial, and the local government relies on the patronage, jobs and tax revenue that the oil and steel industries bring. However, many jobs disappeared when the steel industry modernized and shifted overseas in the late 20th century, leading to extensive job loss for the working class. People there have a long, complicated relationship with industry -- and its environmental legacy will affect generations to come.

Modern families depend more and more on technology. The need for electricity and a safely wired home becomes more important. Every home is full of electrical systems including wiring, computer net works and appliances.
Each household needs an electrical system for heating,cooling, lighting, cooking and many types of communication technology.The whole world relies on electricity use on daily basis and every one of us will be facing electrical problems at one stage or other.
There are many home electrical problems that need urgent attention and it is essential to let the professional handle the repairs as and when required.
The following main common electrical problems are given here to enable a safe response when the need to call in an electrician.
Flickering lights normally results from loose wire grid circuit breaker issues due to a dangling live lines or problems further along the wiring system. But when lights continuously flicker even after replacement with a new bulb there might be a poor wiring connection or a faulty fixture.
This flickering problem usually needs a qualified electrician to repair and make it safe. House owners have to take extra care and fix this to avoid causing an electrical short or damage to the wire leading eventually to a fire.
In the older homes the electrical wiring system not designed to handle the high voltage loads and so usually trips.The modern homes are normally designed to handle the high voltage loads and so avoid the trips.
Over loads normally results in tripped breakers and power cuts. Hence one has to upgrade the wiring system or add a better circuit to take the extra load. If neglected the panels have to be replaced completely and it will be very expensive.
This tripping is a common problem whenever we use the Microwave since they are not designed to handle the high voltage loads.
If an appliance is plugged in the receptacle if it gets warm then immediately remove the plug and thus avoid over heating and burns. A faulty wiring and a faulty receptacle can start producing a strange smell and left unnoticed can lead to smoking and a fire in the home and cause serious damages behind the wall.

Carrick Inn
Head to this 1833 coaching inn for one of those counter meals that have been on offer in Australian pubs for decades – garlic prawns, rump steak with mushroom sauce, chicken parmigiana or roast of the day – all at the sort of prices you would have paid years ago. The Carrick Inn is a friendly family hotel serving standard pub fare in a bistro dedicated to Sammy Cox, reputed to be Tasmania's first European settler. The folklore tells that young Sam was stranded on the Tasmanian coast in 1789 and lived with Aboriginal people for 25 years before turning up in Carrick and living to be 117 years old. In reality he was a fugitive with an unsavoury past and his life story was just an imaginative fabrication.

Horse Treats
����������� Today's Snack: Let's make horse
treats that are actually pretty good for humans, too. �Take your pick of several choices. See the
recipes below. If you are lucky enough to have a field trip planned to a riding
stable, call ahead and see if the owner will let you bring one or more of these
treats for the horses. The owner is likely to have rules about how and when
these treats may be fed, so don't be disappointed if the owner says "no." But
if you make one or more of these treats, be sure to eat some of these horse
goodies yourself. They're totally edible, and good for you. Don't be surprised
if you start galloping around and nickering to your friends!
Horse Treat Recipes
Horse Cookies
cups dry oatmeal
3/4 cup grain
3 cups bran
1 cup molasses
You can purchase the grain and bran from a farm supply store or a health-foods
store. Mix oats, grain and bran together in a bucket. Drizzle in molasses while
mixing with your hands. Shape into a thin rectangle on a cutting board, as you
would do with sugar cookie dough. Use cookie cutters to cut into fun shapes
such as horsed or horseshoes, and place them on a cookie sheet with a spatula.
At Christmas time, use angel or Christmas tree shaped cookie cutters. Bake at
375 degrees for 8 minutes.
Christmas Mash
lb. bran
1/2 cup sweet feed
4 packets of Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal
4 packets of Apple and Cinnamon Oatmeal
1/3 can of regular oatmeal (or 4 packets)

� cup wheat germ oil
1 cup water
� cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 apple, peeled
2 large carrots, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Mix ingredients thoroughly in a large bowl. Form
into balls about the size of a ping-pong ball. Bake until crispy and dry.
����������� A classic
after-school excursion is to go to a horseback riding stable. You can have a
basic lesson in riding and a chance to ask a horse expert questions about
horses. If you are lucky enough to do something like this, you can make one or
more of these treat recipes to bring with you for the horses you meet.
����������� To find stables
in the Omaha metropolitan area, go to After School Treats' section on Lessons,
Classes and Clubs and look under Horses:
Horseback riding lessons are a
great way to help a child with balance, coordination, focus and
self-confidence. When you can learn how to make a huge animal like a horse
listen to you, and obey your commands, it can be a big shot in the arm to your
own feelings of self-control, and maybe make you obey those "invisible" reins,
halters and bridles that adults have on YOU when they . . . ride herd on YOU.
It takes a lot of eye-hand coordination to get a saddle,
bridle and halter on a horse, and it does take some time to learn how to do it.
But the rewards are lifelong for those who acquire the simple, but universally
popular skill of knowing how to ride a horse.
One of the best things that horseback riding does for you is
it teaches you safety and respect for animals. A Quarter horse may weigh 1,000
or 1,200 pounds, or more. That's big! If you take riding lessons, one of the
first things you will learn is to NEVER walk or run behind a horse or make
sudden movements, because no doubt you will get kicked. And that can hurt you!
It may even break a bone. So it's an important rule, that you never walk or
stand BEHIND a horse.
Horses are "prey" animals. That means they are not the
"predator" - they are the ones which are scared of the predator. They are the
ones who run away. Good thing horses are so fast! But if you want to succeed
around horses, you must remember that fact. Use your "horse sense" and a little
understanding of horse psychology to be reassuring, calm and quiet around
horses. Don't be afraid of them, but don't give them any surprises, either.
That's when they might kick, run away or do other things to keep themselves
from danger that might end up hurting you.
You must learn to approach a horse from his or her right
front whenever you do anything around a horse - put on a halter, pick up feet
to clean them, and so forth. And if you ever do cross behind a horse while
grooming or working with the horse, you simply trail your hand gently on the
horse's back flanks, just to let him or her know for sure that you are back
there, but no harm will come.
Another safety tip: you never want to be in flip-flops or
other shoewear that expose your foot skin or are only thin coverings. Boots are
best, but at least solidly-made tennis shoes are a must. This is not only
because you might step in you-know-what. It's also just in case the horse steps
sideways suddenly - maybe an ambulance goes by or a dog suddenly barks - and
steps on your foot. The weight of such a big animal might break the bones in
your foot. So show the horse some respect and give him or her some "space" to
protect your own body while you're around horses.
A great thing you'll learn around horses is balance. That
can pay off in all kinds of ways in the rest of your life: balance for sports,
and the other kind of "balance" - in the way you think. If you lean too far in
one direction or another, unwisely, you will fall off a horse. It's the same
thing with life!
Another way that you learn balance from horseback riding is
that you have to use both your right leg and arm, and your left leg and arm. If
you want the horse to go to the right, you press with your left knee. The horse
has been trained to move away from pressure. So guiding a horse actually trains
YOUR mind, since you have to think ahead of where you want the horse to go, and
make your body move correctly to guide the horse in the right direction.
For fun, here's a word search on horse breeds. You might
want to look up what each breed looks like in a horse book or online resource:

Zuvo Water Filtration System Review and Giveaway
>> Monday, August 2, 2010
Filtering my water has always been important to me- for taste, my health, and the health of the planet. I like the taste of filtered water so much better. I can always taste the chlorine when it is not filtered. I have been using a counter pitcher filtration system for years but always really wanted a better quality filter. That is why I was so excited to find Zuvo. The Zuvo Water Filtration System (aka The Zuvo Water Purator) is an eco-friendly solution making tap water safe for the whole family to drink.
Filtered water is better for the planet and your wallet.
Did you know that bottled water produces up to 1.5 million tons of plastic waste per year? According to Food and Water Watch, that plastic requires up to 47 million gallons of oil per year to produce! And while the plastic used to bottle beverages is of high quality and in demand by recyclers, over 80 percent of plastic bottles are simply thrown into trash. In fact, 60 million plastic water bottles that end up in our landfills every day. What's more, skipping the plastic saves you money! Over time, Zuvo costs a fraction of what you'll spend on bottled water or pitcher filters.
Filtered water is better for your health.
The President's anti-cancer panel has just released its annual report on "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risks What We Can Do Now" recommending that people use home water filtering devices to decrease exposure to cancer-causing agents. The report further points out that children are at special risk for cancers from environmental contaminants. The report states:
"Individual and families have many opportunities to reduce or eliminate chemical exposures, filtering home tap water or well water can decrease exposure to numerous known or suspected carcinogens or endocrine-disrupting chemicals."
As Zuvo puts it, "When it comes to your body, you should be drinking the healthiest water you can. The better the water, the healthier and fitter your body will be. Tap water may contain lead, parasitic cysts, non-pathogenic micro-organisms and unpleasant levels of chlorine - some of which can pose significant health risks to you and your family, while others make your water taste and smell bad. The truth is bottled water is typically no safer or healthier than tap water and chemicals can even leach from plastic bottles into water. With pitcher filters, your water is only as clean as the filter you use. Zuvo's patented Puration process uses nature's own cleansing process right in your kitchen. It treats non-pathogenic organisms, taste and odor contaminants, reduces aesthetic chlorine, lead, and tiny particulates. The result? Healthy, clean, great-tasting water right from your tap... Zuvo raises the bar for water purity and taste. (ranked #1 over Fiji, Aquafina, Brita, Pur, Aquapanna, Evian and Smart Water by the San Francisco Chronicle and Wine & Spirits Magazine)"
The Zuvo Water Purator™ uses a patented five-step process to produce clean, healthy, great tasting water...just the way nature intended!
Step 1: Ozonation
Step 2: Ultraviolet Light
Step 3: Photo-oxidation
Step 4: Lead removal
Step 5: Post-filtration UV
The smartly-designed Zuvo Water Purator™ fits in any kitchen... either above the counter or under the counter. The Zuvo Water Filtration System is elegantly designed and has been awarded the Parent Tested Parent Approved Award for best new green products.
My Zuvo arrived well packaged and with clear instructions. For most faucets, installation is a simple process that just involves plugging it in and screwing it on to the tap. I, however, have a fancy new pull-out handle faucet so I had to get the Butler Tahiti Faucet Kit to install the Zuvo. It took a little more work but my husband followed the instructions and set it up for us. Now we can get filtered, healthy water on demand at a rate of 1/2 gallon per minute. Pretty cool! That is right, on demand! No need for me to refill the pitcher when I am done, or to wait for it to filter if I run out. I used to be really lazy about using filtered water in my pasta because I never had enough. Now I will never run out! I really love that! I also think it looks great! I love the actual Zuvo unit. It is really cool. My daughter likes to watch as you turn on the water and the stainless steel tube lights up the water swirls with bubbles in a blue UV light. The truth is I find it equally fun to watch the Zuvo work!
The Zuvo filter needs to be changed about every six months and a filter costs around $30.00. So that's about half what I was paying for my pitcher filters that needed to be changed once a month. The Zuvo Purator came with one filter in the unit already and if I registered my Zuvo, I will get a filter for free. (Note to self, don't forget!) I really love my new Zuvo and I am really excited to be able to offer one for as a giveaway to one lucky reader!
Zuvo is offering one Zuvo Water Purator in Black or Stainless Steel. Features Zuvo's patented 5-Step UV/Ozone Cleansing Process. Includes activated carbon filter (installed), adapter/diverter for standard faucets, and owner's manual. ($299.99 value)

He could make his debut in Saturday's Ladbrokes League 2 game against Edinburgh City at Forthbank as we seek our third straight league win.
Neil becomes our seventh summer signing after Steven Noble (Peterhead), Peter MacDonald (Clyde), Callumn Morrison (Hearts, loan), Ewan McNeil (Clyde), Mark Foden (Ross County, loan) and Lee Hamilton (Berwick Rangers) and we are delighted to welcome him to the club.

It's only two weeks til Marty's clinic!
The course is going to be great!
I'll be videoed to see how I am at handling on the first day! Eek. That is scary.
Marty will be teaching us how to teach leading. Very useful for showing people new to alpacas once the trekking starts (there will be trekking, there will!).
We will cover Ttouch (yeah love this) and body positioning (essential with alpacas), herding, foot and leg work (ha watch out Millie) and I am very much looking forward to learning 'the magic and power of balance'. Since coming back from Julie's course at Carthvean I have been much more aware of keeping my own balance but it is such a learning curve.
I have however had a major breakthrough recently in that I have switched to handling the girls because of Millies injury and our current (bad!) set up. I have managed to take Ida out into the main field and walked her down and up. She isn't sure yet but slowly she is learning my signals and she appears to enjoy some of it, at least sometimes. I will ask someone to take photos this week or maybe even a video. I'd better get used to being filmed.
I am feeling almost ready. But I need more practise before I go!!

Last night I decided I needed a break from revision and went out (on a night out, not just leaving my house haha), being a club I like to do my makeup a little more heavy than usual but I went for a really summery look using my Naked 3 palette which has a gorgeous rose gold feel to it so I thought I would show you my makeup, basically!
I really liked this look as it was quite subtle but I just thought the colours gave a really summery vibe, I must admit I don't tend to reach for the Naked 3 palette as much as the others so thought I would see what I could come up with using the pinky colours. I've also started wearing false lashes on nights out (which is a love hate relationship haha!) and the only ones I have so far got on really well with are the 'Tanya Burr' lashes, which I will definitely write a review on soon! The ones I was wearing in the photographs are 'Date Night' and are essentially a set of individual lashes on one band (if that makes any sense!)
I really love this makeup look and also really enjoyed doing it! It was such a subtle, summery look and has made me want to use Naked 3 so much more as I was always apprehensive to use it before but it does have some gorgeous colours in it! If you guys have any recommendations on looks with Naked 3 link me in the comments as I'd love to use it more over the summer!

Jerry Granelli – "Dance Hall" – November 3 on Justin Time Records
Drummer Jerry Granelli Reunites with
Guitar Greats Bill Frisell & Robben Ford After 25 Years
for Blues-Soaked Repertoire on Dance Hall
Available November 3 on Justin Time Records
Back in 1992, veteran drummer-composer Jerry Granelli went to studios in Seattle and San Francisco with an all-star cast, including trombonist Julian Priester, alto sax great Kenny Garrett, bassist Anthony Cox and guitarists Bill Frisell and Robben Ford, to record a set of blues-based tunes that resonated with his youth. The resulting album, A Song I Thought I Heard Buddy Sing, inspired by Michael Ondaatje's haunting novel "Coming Through Slaughter" about the life of the legendary New Orleans cornetist Buddy Bolden, includes blues-tinged nuggets as Johnny Hodges' "Wanderlust," Charlie Parker's "Billie's Bounce," Ornette Coleman's "Blues Connotation" and Screamin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You."
Twenty-five years later, Granelli returned to the studio with the same producer from that landmark session, Lee Townsend, along with the same guitar tandem of Frisell and Ford for another blues-soaked outing. Inspired by his upbringing as an aspiring musician in San Francisco, Dance Hall, is at once a joyful reunion and a fond salute to his own youth. "This is the bookend," said the revered, 76-year-old drummer from his home base in Halifax, Nova Scotia. "When I told Bill and Robben I wanted to make another blues record, they both said, 'I'm in.' It took about a year to get everybody in the same place, but it was a great session. This record really meant a lot to me. There's magic on these tracks."
Granelli's 20th album as a leader has him tackling hit singles from yesteryear, including The Platters' "The Great Pretender," Dinah Washington's mournful "This Bitter Earth," Fats Domino's "Ain't That a Shame" and Louis Jordan's "Caldonia." He also tips his cap to Max Roach on a dramatic reading of "Driva Man" (from 1964's pivotal protest record We Insist! Freedom Now Suite featuring singer Abbey Lincoln) and to Charles Mingus on a straight shuffle version of "Boogie Stop Shuffle." An earthy reading of "Meet Me in the Morning" represents one of the artists Granelli knew from the early days of the Fillmore West in San Francisco, Bob Dylan. The drummer explains that his laid back, behind-the-beat groove on this Dylan tune was more inspired by a funkier version by Texas bluesman Freddie King from his 1975 album Larger Than Life. Aretha Franklin is also represented here with a newer tune, the gospel-tinged "Never Gonna Break My Faith" (from the 2006 movie Bobby about the death of Bobby Kennedy). "I heard that song on a plane and I just felt, 'That's the time we're in, that's what we gotta do now," Granelli maintains. "We gotta stand and not let these motherfuckers break our faith.'"
When Granelli and producer Townsend began talking about the project, Granelli stated he wanted the album to be "personal." Townsend replied, "That's it, find it from there." This is how Granelli was able to develop personal connections to each of the songs. "'Ain't That a Shame' has a story behind it. I was in high school and had just met the woman who would become my first wife. I just fell in love, walked around the corner to a record store and I remember that song was playing. I was not yet 20 when I first heard Dinah Washington single, 'This Bitter Earth.' After that I would sit in this bar every day, drinking gin and tonics, trying to feel melancholy and capture the sadness of that profound song. It's so gorgeous. Louis Jordan is someone I grew up listening to and his 'Caldonia' in particular is how I learned to play quarter note triplets on the drums. So I had all of those songs memorized as a kid, and every one of them meant something real to me. And as far as 'The Great Pretender,' I toured with The Platters when that song was popular, so I must've played it hundreds of times."
The core quartet – Granelli on drums, Frisell and Ford on guitars and Granelli's son J. Anthony Granelli on bass – puts its stamp on "Boogie Stop Shuffle," "Driva Man," "This Bitter Earth" and "Never Gonna Break My Faith." A punchy three-piece horn section, arranged by Steve Bernstein of Millenial Territory Orchestra and Hot 9 fame, are augmented on four other tunes – "Meet Me in the Morning," "The Great Pretender," "Ain't That a Shame" and "Caldonia." Granelli, who has cultivated a two-guitar sound in his previous bands V-16 and UFB, says he fell in love 20 years ago with that combination from the Frisell-Ford hookup he heard on A Song I Heard Buddy Sing. "I just always loved that sound, where it's like two guitars meshing into one big guitar to the point where you can't tell who's playing what."
For the drummer and educator, who is approaching 77 in December, Dance Hall represents a return to the fundamental desire to play the blues. "I've gone through a lot of phases in my career, starting out playing straight ahead in piano trios led by Vince Guaraldi and Denny Zeitlin, then playing that right-in-the-pocket Mississippi-Louisiana thing with Mose Allison in the '70s. I've gone through the 'out' stuff with free jazz and all that. But the beauty of playing this instrument, the drums, is playing time for people who can just do it and use it. And these guys really know how to use it.
"Everybody did this session as a labor of love all the way down the line," he added. "There was a lot of laughing, a lot of joy at the sessions. It was a real love fest. And to me, personally, it just feels like artistic freedom has finally been reached with this recording, where you can actually do what it is that you love. For me, it feels like a pretty outrageous record to make at this point in my life. Just to play the drums that way…that's what I grew up in. I can't wait to get on the road and play this music and see what happens. That's the next step."

Famine avoided but quartet not out of the woods
From EMEKA OKONKWO in Abuja, Nigeria
ABUJA, (CAJ News) – SOMALIA, Nigeria and Yemen have averted famine but the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has warned the countries are not out of danger as yet.
The warning by the organisation came as the famine declared in two counties of South Sudan in February was also overcome.
"Nonetheless, the situation is still critical," WFP stated at the launch of a campaign to warn about the severe food crisis that puts 20 million people at risk of dying of hunger in the four countries.
The "Fighting Famine" campaign has been launched in Spain.
In the affected countries, 1,4 million children are suffering from severe malnutrition and are at risk of death.
The countries, with the exception of Yemen, are now entering the lean season, a period of the year when the previous season's harvest has run out and food stocks are at their lowest.
In addition, the rains are making access by land largely difficult and even impossible.
Air transportation is sometimes possible but as much as seven times more expensive.
WFP has implemented emergency response mechanisms that include food airdrops in remote areas in South Sudan and trucking in supplies to areas where people have fled from the Boko Haram in Nigeria.
The UN food agency, which depends on donor governments, supporters and partners, urgently required US$900 million for the period of August to January 2018 to meet immediate needs and avoid the spread of famine.

Also called manic depression, bipolar disorder is a common mental illness that affects millions of people annually. Symptoms can range anywhere from extremely severe to very mild. This illness not only affects the patient but can also have a terrible effect on loved ones, friends and relatives. A big component in combating bipolar disorder is early diagnosis, which can help control this serious mental illness. For people that are bipolar, suicide risks are high without diagnosis, so it is important to seek medical treatment.
Psychiatrists and psychologists are available to help patients cope with this disorder. Reports show anywhere from thirty to seventy percent of people that committed suicide suffered from bipolar disorder or some other form of depression. Although more than two times as many women attempt suicide, more men actually commit suicide. Because suicidal risks are normally highest early on, the sooner a doctor diagnoses and treats a patient, the lower his or her bipolar suicide risk.
If you suspect that you, a loved one or friend may be suffering from bipolar disorder, seek medical attention for them or yourself immediately. People with bipolar disease need treatment from trained professionals such as a psychiatrist or psychologist that are specialists in this field. Although not trained to treat bipolar disorder themselves, family doctors can certainly refer people to bipolar disorder specialists.
Bipolar disorder is a recurring illness that requires long-term preventative psychological treatment and/or medication. Stopping either of these treatments suddenly can result in a regression back to the depression, mood swings and other bipolar symptoms. Because the depressive phase can be very severe in people that are bipolar, suicide can be a major, serious risk factor, with more lethal suicide attempts. Bipolar suicide risks are higher in people in the early stages of the disease; people that experience a large amount of mixed and depressive episodes; have a family history of bipolar suicide; or a history of drug or alcohol abuse. Some of the many bipolar suicide signs include:
* Always thinking or talking about self harm, death and/or suicide
* Feeling like a burden, worthless, helpless or hopeless
* Looking for pills or weapons for committing suicide
* Severe and worsening depression
* Making or changing a will, getting loose ends and affairs in order
Call a suicide hotline, your doctor or local hospital if you or a loved one is having thoughts of suicide because it could be a matter of life or death. Whether you're currently under treatment or not signs of worsening or new conditions need to be addressed immediately.Learn how I beat Depression

Wayne 寫:Dear Rock,
I went to the web site you referred to. However, there's no sign that the question (What number of president.is Mr. Barrack Obama) per se was correct or idiomatic.
Hi, Wayne, the website you're talking about is http://184.108.40.206/esl-forums/viewtop ... 33&t=63509, right? Just like that English teacher said: This is a good question. I also noticed that he is from New York, and he thinks it's difficult.
However, if you take a look at other search results, you can find some WikiAnswers. They also talk about other US Presidents. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_number_p ... rack_Obama
This is really an interesting discussion. I learnt a lot. Thanks again.

(2. : so mysterious, strange, or unexpected as to send a chill up the spine <a coyote's eerie howl> <the similarities wereeerie>; also : seemingly not of earthly origin <the flames cast an eerie glow> )
You can't listen Sigur Rós without falling to the song. Songs send these chills trough your spine. These songs force you to feel.
The band was founded 1994 and it got its name from Jónsi's little sister Sigurrós who was born on the day the band was founded. In 1997 band published its debut album "Von". The band came better known from its album Ágætis byrjun in 1999. Jónsi created also his own language Vonlenska that he uses in some of the songs, it sounds bit like Icelandic but is an imaginary language. These songs are sung in vonlenska: "Von", "Olsen olsen", the whole fourth album " " which is without a name, "Hoppípolla" (partly), "Sé lest", "Mílano", "Gong" and "Andvari". The newest album is from 2008 "Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust".

Fall 2009 Runway Pushes Boundaries
Fall 2009 Runway Pushes Boundaries
Thank God that hair is fun again. As a hairdresser bigger is always better! Head-turning hair was seen on Fall runways included updos, bouffants, French Twists and even pompadours.
From French twists and chignons to menswear-inspired quiffs, classic 'dos dominated at Calvin Klein, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Ralph Lauren and more taking looks from the 40's, 50's and 80's and updating them with new elements.
Hair with exaggerated fullness and volume raised the roof at Louis Vuitton, Luella, Prada and Versace.
Of couse with extreme hair usually comes extreme and bold fashion. The boldest glamorous accessories included Feather necklaces Crystal Statement Earings and even Metallic clutches. It is no surprise that one would pair brocade jackets with puffy sleeves. Leather, textured stockings and boots everywhere. Lots of boots. Even thigh highs mentioning a few: Gucci, Gianvito Rossi for Altuzarra and my all time favorite this year Rodarte. I take a size 10! Hair and Fashion is a reaction to the times we're living in. It's strong, positive and forceful. It's empowering to women. So go forth, be seen really seen and "be" a fashion statement.

Today is the last day of work for me this week. In the morn Im heading to the great white north. Hayward\Seeley\Cable, WI to be exact. Its going to be four days of riding bikes, eating and drinking. Im pretty pumped about it right now.
So here's what up:
I've got the new XT Di2 on the Farley. Every Time I put this stuff on a bike Im amazed. Bolt it on, hook up the wires and it just works. Charged it up and put an hour on it on the Tuesday nite ride. It's just so easy to install and use. I gotta say I prefer the XTR shifter with a triple click swing, the XT is single click per swing. But I'll get used to it. As when I went XTR Di2 last year, the up and down of the shifter is switched so I always shift the wrong way and will do so for awhile. I can hook up the computer and change it but I'll adapt in time. The driveline works great. And for the price a no brainer. Kinda like when Di2 went Ultegra. The XT Di2 is not that much more than top of the line mechanical. I'll have fun with it this weekend.
Then I threw on a set of 40c Clement X,plor MSO's on the Crockett cross bike. I was happy to find that they fit no problem. This is a awesome tire. Big and high pressure capable. Which is good for big guys like me. I tried to get some gravel riding last time I was up there but it just did not work out. Now Im ready! And its not a true gravel tire if its not at least 40c. Anything smaller is just a cross tire. I say that in jest as I never was too concerned whether a bike a cross bike or a gravel bike. To me they still are the same thing.
The weather looks great up there this weekend .Highs in the 50's each day. Last year we went up last weekend and there was snow on the ground. This time its still fall outside there. I kinda wanted to ride on snow but I guess I can wait. Just a little longer.
There is 5 of us going up so I hope I can keep up. Im the slowest rider in the group but when is that any different from any other time. I'll make due.
We will do some gravel roads both Thursday afternoon and Friday morn. Then Friday aft, Saturday and Sunday morn will be in the woods.
It's going to be a long day for me as Im all caught up here at the store. Just putting in the time.
So I'll be driving up tomorrow from 6am to noon. Im already half packed. I'll have my notebook with me so maybe a post from up there if I find the time. But dont count on it.
One of these times Im going to go up there and not come back.

Johnny Manziel has come a long way from being a middle-of-the-pack recruit getting his first start in major college football. In the past 11 months, Manziel has lived like a rock star: developing into the most electrifying player in the game, becoming the youngest Heisman winner ever and having a list of offseason activities that read like they belong in The Hangover 4. All the way, he has lived, played and talked with an attitude that screams, "I couldn't care less what you think." Some love him; others despise him. As abrasive as he was, Johnny Football always played by the rules. Now it seems as though he's finally skipped across that line and is directly in the sights of the NCAA.
Reports have surfaced in recent days that Manziel autographed disputable amounts of memorabilia, numbering from a couple hundred to several thousand in return for a handsome sum of money. Reports have that sum as at least five figures long, though no one has testified as to exactly how much money may have changed hands. If even one dollar was given to Manziel in exchange for any autographed memorabilia, he will be in direct conflict with the NCAA rule that in so many words states that an amateur athlete cannot financially benefit from his or her own name and if they do so, he or her are effectively stripped of their amateur status and college eligibility. There are many arguments to rules like these the NCAA has in place and it may be time for an updating of the rules, but as it stands right now, those are the rules.
If this is not resolved by August 31st when Texas A&M kicks off the season against Rice, head coach Kevin Sumlin is going to have a big decision to make. One option is to play Manziel and risk the whole team's eligibility for wins, post season play – all while opening the door for other possible punishments. Anyone who has followed the actions of the NCAA in past knows that precedence means nothing and if Texas A&M is found guilty of playing the potentially ineligible Manziel, punishments could range from the metaphorical extremes of a slap on the wrist to a push off a cliff. Sumlin's other option is to voluntarily sit the Heisman Trophy winner until a verdict is reached by the NCAA. An eerily similar situation happened to Cam Newton and the Auburn Tigers in 2010. They chose to roll the dice and play Newton, believing the NCAA wouldn't turn up any evidence. They finished the season with an undefeated record, a BCS National Championship and a bonus victory of making the NCAA look the fool. Officials at Texas A&M are praying for a similar outcome.
As much of an indictment as this is on Johnny Manziel's judgment — because of the peril he put his team in — it is an equal indictment on the NCAA. These autographs were allegedly signed and monetarily exchanged before the BCS National Championship game last season. That was January. Where has the NCAA been on this in the last seven months? If the governing body of college athletics can't monitor the biggest star they have ever had, who lives his life on social networks, who isn't shy about having a good time and spending money and who makes national headlines on a weekly basis, who can they monitor?
Add this to list of botched cases by the NCAA in recent years. A short trip down memory lane reveals that no one should be surprised that even if Johnny Manziel is guilty of these actions he might get away with it. Terrelle Pryor received improper benefits for three years before anyone was the wiser. North Carolina had players across several sports registered in fake classes; no penalty. The NCAA is now getting close to year three of an investigation into Miami for improper benefits with no end or penalty in sight. Cam Newton was allegedly offered over $100,000 to attend Mississippi State but supposedly attended Auburn for just a scholarship, which seems perfectly logical.
Everyone is well within their rights to cry out about these athletes and how they are supposedly being greedy and selfish. But before one does so, they should put themselves in the athletes' shoes for a moment. It is hard to turn down a car or thousands of dollars; it's even harder for a teenager to do so. It becomes that much more difficult when one realizes that the NCAA has a long history of letting events like these slip by unnoticed and even when found guilty of infractions the penalty isn't even criminal in nature. The truth is when the NCAA punishes a student athlete, it is because they've taken a grasp at straws and finally came up with one while the rest float away. Improper benefits are given to players at virtually every school but only a few get caught. If players like Johnny Manziel are to be held accountable to the NCAA rules, the governing body needs to be held accountable as well.

The developer behind the controversial Saddle Crest housing project in rural eastern Orange County has decided to appeal a Superior Court ruling that the project's approval failed to comply with state environmental laws and local land use plans.
In challenging Judge Steven Perk's ruling, Rutter Santiago LP, part of Rutter Development Corp., is going it alone after the Orange County Board of Supervisors declined to continue fighting for the project.
Rutter filed its appeal Thursday, according to court records.
Under the Saddle Crest project, Rutter was set to build 65 homes in rural Trabuco Canyon just northwest of Cook's Corner.
To approve the plan, county supervisors had to change the Foothill-Trabuco Specific Plan, which was designed to protect the area's rural character through preserving oak trees and natural open space and limiting grading and lot sizes.
Activists sued Rutter and the county and ultimately won a ruling from Judge Perk that the county's approval failed to comply with state environmental and land use laws and with the Foothill-Trabuco plan.
In the hopes of persuading county supervisors not to appeal, activists organized a steady campaign of opinion articles, petitions, public comments and conversations with Supervisor Todd Spitzer, who represents the county's rural canyons area.
After studying the issue, Spitzer announced earlier this month that he disagreed with the way the county went about approving the housing project last year, before he joined the Board of Supervisors.
The lawsuit was filed by the Saddleback Canyons Conservancy, Rural Canyons Conservation Fund, Friends of Harbors Beaches and Parks, California Native Plant Society and the National Audubon Society.

At a time when global trade is set to accelerate, the fall in India's export is disquieting and structural changes in labour-intensive sectors such as apparels and jewellery need to be undertaken fast, rating agency Crisil said on Monday.
"Global merchandise trade is expected to grow stronger at 4.2%, boosting trade intensity of growth for the first time in six years i.e. world trade growth being higher than world GDP growth. Yet, India's exports have not been able to take as much advantage of the stronger trade growth unlike many of its Asian peers like Vietnam, South Korea and Indonesia." a note released by the firm said.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) also recently pointed out that it expects global growth of trade to rise to 3.6 per cent in 2017 from 3.2 per cent in 2016.
However, the Federation of Indian Exports Organizations has pointed out that almost Rs 50,000 crore worth of refunds under the Goods and Services Tax regime are still stuck with the government, leading to a massive blockage of capital.
Exporters have also said that only about Rs 350 crore of refunds on account of integrated GST (IGST) have been released by the government for July, against Rs 750 crore claimed by exporters. Besides, the input tax credits, which form a chunk of GST refunds, are yet to be released.
Responding to growing opposition by exporters, the government last week announced greater export support to items in the garment and the home furnishings sector under the Merchandise Exports from India (MEIS) and the Remission of State Levies.
"The enhancement in MEIS rates will help in the fulfillment of orders for the Christmas festival as it will result in easing the blocked capital. It will help in the mitigation of the currency difference to some extent. However the Industry is disappointed over the announcement of the RoSL as the rate is far below than what the Industry has recommended and there has been no consideration of the central taxes rebate in the announcement. The Industry is witnessing a slowdown with jobs being lost and buyers migrating due to high cost." AshoK G Rajani, Chairman of the Apparel Export Promotion Council said.
However, Crisil has pointed out that subdued export performance in recent months cannot be attributed to unfavorable currency competitiveness. In fact, a relatively stable rupee and improving global growth suggest that domestic developments might have had a greater role to play in the current export growth slowdown – in particular the disruption caused by GST regime.
This is evident in the low export growth in sectors such as gems and jewellery, textiles, and leather which are incidentally also the most labour-intensive sectors, Crisil pointed out. It further said employment may be hit as a result in these sectors.
But while disruptions due to GST are transitory in nature, a senior Crisil economist pointed out. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or the competitiveness of these labour intensive sectors, has been on a sequential decline. Case in point, the 2006-2016 decade saw RCA markedly diminish for three of these sectors, he added.
The latest disruptions, earlier on account of demonetisation and now due to GST, might have pushed the competitiveness of these sectors further to the brink, Crisil has said. It added that even though disruptions related to policy changes are transitory, the structural issues plaguing these sectors need to be addressed in order to boost their competitiveness in the global market.

A very public work-in-progress for more than a year, Memoirs of a Dilettante is the self-published semi-autobiographical debut of Helena Hann-Basquiat.
But who, you ask, is Helena Hann-Basquiat?
Helena is a wearer of many hats: seasoned traveler, spotter of pee stains, comic book aficionado, accidental stripper, manic depressive, macaroni artist, jilted lover, and the world's greatest aunt. She's also a hell of a writer.
With that many titles under her belt, you can see why she prefers to just be called a dilettante.
The one thing Helena is not, however, is a very good salesperson. Her business skills leave a lot to be desired in just about every way you can imagine. When I told her to submit her info to Kickstarter, she asked me what number to fax it to (and where she could buy a fax machine, and also... what's a fax machine?)
That's where I come in. My name is Jim Squires, and I'm Helena Hann-Basquiat's business partner, buddy, and all-around biggest fan. If you want to know why, just read the following excerpt from the book we're asking you to support, in which she explains the word dilettante far better than Webster's ever could:
I am a dilettante, darlings, no doubt about it. But don't you dare call me that as an insult. No, I'm taking the word back and re-branding it. I may not be a professional, but I am no wannabe, either.
See, dilettante is kind of the 'N' word for artistic types (the 'N' word being novice, of course — where did you think I was going with that? Did you think I was going to say neophyte?) as it is dismissive and insulting to those of us who delight in dabbling and experimentation, and brands us with a big scarlet letter that burns no less than the one dear Hester Prynne was forced to wear. Only the letter that we dilettantes are forced to wear screams Dabbler. As in, Not good enough. Of poor quality. The work of an admirer, as opposed to an artist. As if we have no respect for the craft. As if we seek validation by putting ourselves in the same category as someone more talented — and there are degrees of talent, no question. As if we don't take what we're doing seriously — as if we are not artists unless we are on television.
Want more? You can read the following excerpts from the book at helenahb.com:
- Couche-Tard and the Jumping Asians
- Cummerbund Bandersnatch and the Girl With the Wet Spot
- The Good, The Bad, and The Hipster
- The Return of the Barista With No Name
- An Indecent Proposal
But rest assured, darlings, that whatever I do, I will do my best — I will continue to hone my craft, and I will refine my raw materials down to the purest form, and sand off the rough edges, and shake off the dross and separate the wheat from the chaff, and only present the finished works when they are, indeed, finished — or, if not finished, then I will present them as a curiosity of sorts — portrait of a spectacular failure.
Helena's words are too damned good to not bring to a bigger audience, so with the debut of Memoirs of a Dilettante, I've pledged to help her get the word out in any way I can. And that means dreaming a bit bigger than what she had in mind.
So we need some money. From you. Pretty please.
Helena's initial plans were to launch this as a small self-published e-book, promoted exclusively to her existing readership. After talking with me, that goal has changed. Her new goal -- the goal of this Kickstarter -- is to raise enough funds to do a small print run for a softcover release. If we can do this, we should be able to get the book into some indie-friendly bookshops, libraries, and bring it to small press expos, literary events, and self-publishing friendly gatherings like Word on the Street and Toronto Indie Arts Market.
It will also give us the physical copies we need to deliver the book to those who can help us spread the word best: reviewers.
In addition to this sometimes autobiographical, sometimes completely made-up book (which was built slowly in front of an audience as blog posts -- neat, right?), Helena also writes short horror fiction under the name Jessica B. Bell. Under this pseudonym, she was recently featured in Dagda Publishing's futuristic short fiction collection All Hail the New Flesh.
Her contribution to All Hail the New Flesh, titled The Best Medicine, is among the rewards you can get for backing this project.
If we meet our goal, those who have pledged for an eBook will have it delivered before the end of March in EPUB, LIT and MOBI formats. Those who want a print edition will need to wait a little longer -- we're shooting for June -- but should be just as satisfied once they get it.
If you're looking for a little extra incentive, Helena will be offering a few rewards here that will remain exclusive to this Kickstarter project. Our cover artist, the legendary and talented fashion illustrator Ros Webb (whose work has appeared in Vogue, Marie Claire, and more) has created portraits of Helena and her niece that -- if you back at the right level -- you'll receive as frame-worthy postcards. (learn more about Ros Webb at roswebbart.com)
Plus, if you order a print edition of the book, Helena will be happy to personalize it with a hand-written message that you won't find anywhere else.
And yes -- as you've probably guessed from the title -- Helena is hard at work on Volume Two. If you back Volume One and love it as much as we do, be sure to keep an eye out for Helena's continuing adventures (many of which you can find at helenahb.com)!
Risks and challenges
We're pleased to say that we've squared away just about every possible roadblock you can imagine. The written element to this project is already complete, the eBooks are prepared, a printing situation has been arranged (pending funding), and we've even proofed the author's copy. Face it tiger -- you just hit the jackpot.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Objectives: Dental implants are one treatment method for tooth loss. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of experience and intention for dental implants and related factors among elderly. Methods: The participants were 244 elderly residing in rural areas with age over 65 in Samhoeup, Yeongamgun and Jeollanamdo, Korea. Chi-square tests, t-tests, and a multiple logistic regression analysis were performed to investigate the factors influencing the experience and intention of implants. Results: Many elderlies residing in rural areas rural elderly had experienced tooth loss (83.6%). The proportion of dental implant experience was 30.9% and intention to receive implants was 57.8%. The odds ratio (OR) for experience of implants was significantly higher for participants with a lower number of chronic diseases (0: OR=12.48, 95% CI=2.12-73.38, 1: OR=4.95, 95% CI=1.66-14.72), they have dental treatment experience during the past 1 year (OR=6.61, 95% CI=1.83-23.89), they have surrounding person who have experience of implant (OR=18.06, 95% CI=2.81-115.99), higher dental implant recognition (OR=3.97, 95% CI= 1.92-8.23). The odds ratio (OR) for dental implant intention was significantly higher for participants with a lower age (65-69: OR=8.18, 95% CI=2.38-278.08, 70-79: OR=3.17 95% CI=1.04-9.68), lower number of chronic diseases (0: OR=4.15, 95% CI=1.00-17.29), they have drink alcohol (OR=5.03, Cl=1.31-19.34), they have surrounding person who has experience of implant (OR=3.22, 95% CI=1.30-8.02), they have not experience of tooth loss (OR=4.65, Cl=1.22-17.70), higher dental implant recognition (OR=2.69, 95% CI=1.55-4.67). Conclusions: In the future, it is necessary to utilize the results of this study to address loss of teeth and to support dental implant treatment selection through improved increased awareness of the advantages and disadvantages of dental implants.
