Some extensive GFX work went into this one! To accomplish the effects, I had to shoot plates of each camera angle.

Hubris, it's always waiting to pounce on the self-satisfied
This was one of those perfectly planned and executed travel mornings. Even though I worked later than I had planned, I was able to pack for 9 day stay Sri lankan stay in record time. I booked a taxi and (this being Singapore) it awaited me as I emerged from my apartment at 4:15 AM. I had been warned by Sri Lankan airlines to arrive two hours early but (this being Singapore) I arrived at the Airport at 4:55 and was fully checked in by 5:10. There was time for a leisurely breakfast, answering of emails and blog writing.
Life was good until I got to the security check point, which in Singapore is at the departure gate. This makes lines shorter and the process less demeaning. I always carry my Swiss army knife in my backpack and, during a somewhat rushed a packing evening had completely forgotten to remove it. Usually being prepared for security check is a preoccupation. This time I had given it no thought at all in my packing. Security staff also confiscated a small screwdriver that I use to repair my glasses. Happily I was able to present an image of a cheerful and well intended, if absent minded professor rather than a potential hijacker. They allowed me to board without any further problems. The rest of the day went smoothly except that: my airport taxi got lost trying to find my new housing destination and, no one was on hand at the AISLS offices when I arrived - it was locked tightly.
But as we say in Sri Lanka, these were 'small problems,' resolved with little difficulty. I am now - more or less - comfortably settled, adjusting to life without air conditioning and seeking to fend off future attacks of hubris by living life humbly, without self-satisfaction.

Cambridge Analytica – Part 2
As Mark Zuckerberg was testifying before Congress today, let's look at the individual and company that took the personal data from Facebook.
According to The Register Aleksandr Kogan, PhD is a Russian-American psychologist who is a lecturer at Cambridge University and an adjunct instructor at the St. Petersburg State University in Russia. He has a company, Global Science Research, that he uses for his non-academic research.
He put up an app on Facebook called "This Is Your Digital Life" that he said was for research by psychologists. He failed to mentioned that the app created a data base of the private information of those who used it, but could also take the information of friends of the users. He also failed to disclose the possibility of sale of that data to others.
The BBC reported that Facebook has determined the app hit 87 million users. This despite only 305,000 users actually taking the quiz in the app.
In Part 3 I'll cover the Canadian whistle-blower and the company he helped to found in British Columbia before joining Cambridge Analytica..

That Zuckerberg inquiry was a complete sham! From both sides of the House! I tweeted about that using this Guardian article:
Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook hearing was an utter sham
Kamala Harris was about the only one who called BS on it.

This entire Facebook affair vindicates my attitude about social websites. They are not social, they are in it for themselves. So I don't twitter, or facebook or answer online surveys or answer questions like "Do you think AFTA s a Bircher front?"
I'm equally certain that more than one entity is sweeping up all blog responses to blog posting from blogs everywhere and attempting to build profiles. I wonder if VPN would protect me from those?
- 4 Kryten42 { 04.11.18 at 3:47 pm }
I agree Bryan.
Also about the VPN security. I have 2 VPN's, a hardware one to my servers around the World & CyberGhost that I've been using for years now for general use. Works very well. I also found Speedify to be good, not as good as CyberGhost, but not as bad as most (many are a con!) Of course, I NEVER use my real name/details online, except when I absolutely have to (Gov. sites or banking etc.) and then definitely only via VPN. I have a half dozen or so email addresses, mostly throw away's if they are compromised or become SPAM magnets. None of them have any real details about me & I block any/all attempts to find out! GMail is getting particularly nosy of late & I may dump it soon. My only real *ME* email servers are my own on my personal cloud servers.
It's handy to have once been a professional paranoid! Because I KNOW *they* are out to get everyone and how they work. You truly cannot trust anyone! 😉 😆

I'm on Facebook for one reason — it's the only real way I have of coordinating things with my far-flung set of desert friends, given that we live at all points on the compass. I don't answer those quiz things (especially the ones that read like the security questions for my bank!), and my profile is not set to 'public' so if you want to get data you have to get it directly from Facebook, not by going to the public API. Unfortunately Facebook didn't respect that setting on my profile. GRR!
So they now know my Social Media Birthday (which is a totally different birthday from my real birthday), know that my music preferences are Britney Spears and Ted Nugent (LOL!), studied at Miskatonic University, and otherwise have trash data. About the only thing they're right about is when they say I'm "very liberal". That one's pretty easy to figure out just by what I follow and read :).
- 8 Badtux { 04.14.18 at 4:23 pm }
But hey, my BA in Arcane Studies at Miskatonic University with specialties in Eldritch Studies and Cthulhu Mythos surely gives them all the data they need to properly target me with advertising, right? 😉
As does my job and place of employment — Worshipper at Temple of Cthulhu, job description "Kneel at the knee of your great god Facebook". Heh.
- 10 Badtux { 04.14.18 at 5:49 pm }
Well, I don't mind getting those advertisements, so maybe their algorithm works? 🙂
- 12 Badtux { 04.15.18 at 3:10 am }
Oh come on, everybody knows that you want another copy of the Greatest Hits of Tony Bennett. 🙂
- 14 Badtux { 04.15.18 at 12:49 pm }
Oh my. There's a name I haven't heard in a while. A quick glance at Wikipedia later and I was surprised that a) he's still alive and performing at age 81, and b) he has a new album released six months ago. Of course, you already knew that, since Amazon showed you the advertisement for the new album on your "Recommendations" list. 😉

Café Luna
612 Main Street | Cambridge, Massachusetts | 02139 | Menu
I have heard nothing but good things about Café Luna, so naturally, I had to make my way over to the restaurant to try brunch. Plus, what's a better way to kick off Memorial Day Weekend than brunch with friends, am I right?
I love that Café Luna has a huge brunch menu. There were so many great choices to choose from - butternut squash + goat cheese omelet, a variety of waffles, french toast and a list of specials. I decided to choose an item from their list of specials - and it will not surprise you. I decided to get the country fried chicken and waffles. My friend, D, also decided to order something off the specials menu and ordered the vegetable + egg quinoa dish.
The portions at Café Luna are not small, so you will definitely not leave hungry. The vegetable + egg quinoa dish came with avocado, cauliflower, carrots, egg, and quinoa. It looked very delicious {who would think quinoa would be a great breakfast item!?}. D said the bowl was amazing and I fully believe her.
The country fried chicken + waffles were so good. I was very hungry by the time our meals came, so I basically ate the whole thing. Needless to say I was full for the rest of the day, but it was well worth it. The dish came with honey butter and Sriracha mix syrup. I drizzled a little syrup on some of my chicken and waffle to try and see if I liked it {I have a very low spicy tolerance!}. The very little syrup I did use had my mouth on fire. It was a good flavor, but I couldn't handle the heat of it. Overall, the dish was delicious - the chicken was tender and the waffle was fluffy!
I recommend going to Café Luna and trying their brunch menu {or weekday breakfast!}. If you go on the weekend, keep in mind that it is a popular spot, so be prepared to wait! The gentleman that seats everyone is very nice and gives updates while you're waiting.
Have a brunch recommendation? Let me know where I should go!

Thinking of installing solar in sunny Florida? You're not alone! The state ranked 17th in the most solar installed in the US in 2015. Not too bad considering Florida lacks many of the incentives that heavily discount the cost of going solar. However, the state sees excellent weather for producing your own renewable energy and homeowners can take advantage of numerous tax incentives to save even more money going solar!
If you're looking for information on going solar in specific cities in Florida, check out our articles on Going Solar in Orlando, Going Solar in Central Florida, Going Solar in Gainesville, and Going Solar in Ft Lauderdale.
#1 Are Solar Panels Worth it in Florida?
Florida has some excellent policies to both encourage the growth of the solar industry and make going solar as easy as possible for homeowners. Unfortunately, though, financial incentives like rebates are a huge hole in the state's solar outlook and their general lack of financial incentives has plagued the solar industry in the state for years. Florida Solar is buoyed up a bit by the state sales tax exemption and property tax exclusion and Florida homeowners are also eligible for the 30% federal tax credit as well.
The financial savings is still lower than other states with pro-solar policies, you can still save thousands of dollars going solar in Florida!
#2 Options for buying solar panels in Florida
Florida homeowners have plenty of excellent options to own their own solar installation, from cash upfront to PACE financing. Really it's just a matter of deciding which financing type most suits your needs. Each has their own drawbacks and benefits.
#3 Solar Policy Information
Florida has some very supportive policies for residential solar. In fact, they're some of the best in the southeast, if not some of the best in the country! On top of all this, the state sees sunny skies perfect for producing good, clean energy. It's no wonder SolarCity, the largest solar installer in the country just decided to start working in the state in December 2016.
#4 Financial Incentives, Rebates, and Tax Credits
Florida has some excellent policies to encourage the growth of solar, including streamlined interconnection processes as well as guaranteed net metering incentives for customers of investor-owned utilities like FPL.
Unfortunately, all those great steps forward are weighed down by the state's serious lack of financial incentives for solar. While Florida does offer a sales tax exemption and property tax exclusion for rooftop solar, the state doesn't offer any rebates themselves nor do they mandate utilities to offer them, as in other solar-friendly states like California and Oregon.
If you're looking to go solar in Florida, you'll have to eke out as many savings as possible, though with the 30% federal tax credit that's not too hard.
Federal Tax Credit
All homeowners across the country who install solar are eligible for the federal residential renewable energy tax credit. This tax credit is equal to 30% of the total installation cost and goes to the owner of the installation (so if a homeowner leases the installation or finances through a power-purchase agreement, the credit goes to the installer though they usually pass these savings on indirectly through a decrease in homeowners' monthly bills). Originally the tax credit was supposed to phase out at the end of 2016, but lawmakers extended the credit to the end of 2019, which then decreases to 26% until 2021, and 22% until 2022.
Unlike tax deductions, tax credits are a dollar-for-dollar reduction, so in essence, homeowners who purchase their installation through cash or loan enjoy a 30% discount on their installation! Homeowners apply for the credit when you fill out your next tax return.
What to Do Next?
Going solar in Florida is a smart choice to save money and contribute to a healthier environment, but you need to make sound decisions towards financing to ensure you see the financial savings you expect. Choose your financing wisely and take advantage of every tax incentive you're eligible for! If you do that, you'll be sitting pretty with a beautiful solar system that helps both the planet and your wallet!

Science classes are always filled with unique ways of learning, whether that entails experiments, hands on projects, or watching exciting demonstrations. This year out at Pleasant Valley Junior High, students get to use the latest technology to study things that can't be seen or experienced in the classroom! With the use of virtual reality goggles, these junior highers have been learning about different patterns across a variety of ecosystems, without ever having to leave PVJH. We love combining technology and education to give PVCSD students the best opportunities to learn and experience new things!

The PVCSD had the fantastic opportunity to host the amazing author Sarah Weeks as our elementary visiting author this spring!
During her visit, Sarah spent time at each elementary school talking with our students, reading with them, and answering their many questions. Ms. Weeks formally began her career by writing songs for Sesame Street, but she wrote her first story when she was just 5 years old! As she had conversations with students, Ms. Weeks discussed her inspiration, her research process, her love of Dr. Seuss books, and taught about her writing process. We are so appreciative of Sarah Weeks visit, so let's give her a big #SpartanNation THANK YOU for taking time out of her busy schedule to inspire and encourage creativity in PV students!
We also want to thank all 5 PV Elementary PTAs for their sponsorship of this visit and for all their work in making it a success! Thank you staff and librarians for making Ms. Weeks feel welcomed and for making it such a fun thing for PV students!
In addition to the elementary school visiting author, PVJH had the incredible opportunity to have New York Times Best Selling Author April Henry come for a visit!
April spent her day speaking to groups of junior highers, telling them all about her journey to becoming a best selling author. Students were able to get books signed by April, and some were even awarded a special lunch in the library with her! April's biggest piece of advice for these students was to never give up, even when it feels like you might never succeed.
We would like to give a huge thank you to April for taking time to visit PVJH and encourage their creativity! Thank you also to PVJH Librarian Anita Roche for organizing such a fantastic day!

We have big news from Mrs. Jeffers' 7th Grade Language Arts classroom!
PV 7th Graders entered a nationwide contest called the Letters About Literature Contest, and three students from Mrs. Jeffers class have been selected as winners!
For the Letters About Literature Contest, students wrote letters to the authors whose books have impacted them. Students submitted their letters before Winter break after working very hard on them in class – taking them through multiple rounds of feedback and revision.
Almost 2,000 letters from the state of Iowa were submitted into the contest, and they had to go through two rounds of judging in Washington, D.C. and one round of judging in Des Moines. Every year, six total letters are chosen as the winners of the Level II (7th and 8th grade) contest for Iowa, and PVJH claimed HALF of those wins! The winners were Anni Desai (Honorable Mention), Megan McKnight (2nd Place), and Tony Shamrell (1st Place). This is the first time PV has been among the winners and to have claimed three of the six spots is truly spectacular.
These students will be recognized by the state on April 27th at the awards ceremony at the Urbandale Public Library. Let's give these students a huge congratulations for their hard work!

On Tuesday, March 27th, 35 8th-grade students performed at the 5th-Annual Poetry Slam Celebration! This celebration was a compilation of the top poem performances from the school slam held the week before spring break.
The audience heard about students' frustrations, fears, desires, aspirations, and passions, and it was a huge hit! A giant thank you to the parents and teachers who encouraged and supported the voices of PVJH's students.
Here are just a few photos from the evening! Way to show off your creativity 8th grade!

There's nothing like a good debate to engage students and spark meaningful conversation! During a recent unit, students in Mr. Paul's Government class got to research their chosen topic, and present to the class in hopes of persuading their peers to support their viewpoint. Each presentation started with a class poll to gather their opinions, followed by the presentation of research and persuasion. Students asked probing questions to learn more about each topic, and were then polled at the end to see if opinions changed.
Great job Mr. Paul for challenging your students to back their opinions with facts, and great job students for engaging in thoughtful and thorough discussion!

The 8th graders in Mrs. Mulfinger's Language Arts class recently participated in a Model United Nations simulation that opened their eyes to a variety of conflicts outside the walls of PVJH!
The students worked for nearly three weeks in groups representing different countries to learn more about how the United Nations works and what some of the challenges the group faces. Each country made a different proposal on how to solve the Syrian refugee crisis and had a discussion and vote for each proposal. There were even five countries with veto power, adding another element of education for the 8th graders about diplomatic discussion, alliances, and compromise.
Students were very involved in the lessons, watching two documentaries, doing research, and reading about the refugee situation throughout the unit. We are always impressed with our teachers pushing PV students to be engaged in the world outside their school and our district!

PVCSD and the United Way of the Quad Cities Area are working hard to encourage students and families to Strive for Less Than Five! Missing school can negatively effect a student's progress in the classroom, so we need YOUR help in our efforts to get kids to strive for less than five days absent.
The winter months make this tricky, as illness are spread and poor weather can cause travel issues. Keeping your child home when they are ill is extremely important to both their health and the health of those surrounding them. But when your child is healthy, check out the five tips for missing less school in the second photo, provided by the United Way.
Thank you for helping us improve school attendance, and for giving our students the opportunity to have the best education possible! For more information about Challenge 5, visit unitedwayqc.org/challenge5

Over 30 seventh and eighth grade students participated in the Geography Bee on January 24th! Questions ranged in difficulty and involved knowledge of U.S. geography, as well as world geography. Students were asked two questions in each round, and were eliminated if both answers were wrong. The final two students went multiple rounds together, both answering the high level questions correctly. In the end, eighth grader Kavya Kalathur finished in first, with eighth grader Ben Eckman finishing in second. Kavya will complete a state qualifying test this week, and continue to the state competition later this spring if she qualifies. Well done students, your knowledge is impressive!

Last week after the Iowa Assessment testing, Junior High students got out of their classrooms and headed out on a 'Goose Chase' throughout the school! During different periods of the day, students were placed in groups and sent on 38 missions, all focused on different educational skills like math and discourse. Each mission was worth a certain amount of points and encouraged collaboration and communication. We love to see our students have a little fun, while still working together to accomplish a task, after a long week of testing!

Students aren't the only ones that get to have some fun on early out Wednesdays! PVJH used their in service time on November 1st to talk teaching strategy, discuss new lesson plans, and play a few Minute-To-Win-It games to foster some competitive spirit. We love to see our amazing educators interacting with each other and pushing one another to be their best, in the classroom and even playing awesome games!

At Faith Conference, Dr. Mark Barclay was giving away 1 copy of each of his books before he spoke. There was one book that no one wanted, (but me), called "Sheep, Goats…and Wolves."
The book describes the difference between a sheep, a goat, and a wolf in the church. In the back of the book is a test to tell you which one you are.
I wanted to take that test!
It wasn't that I was confident I would pass; I wanted to know the characteristics of each to avoid them. I am making every effort to stay close to God.
Ephesians 4:3, "Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace." New Living Translation
Dear Father God,
Thank You for resources to help us in our spiritual walk.
In Jesus Name,

Allergen-Friendly Flooring
With allergies affecting millions of Americans each year, keeping the home as allergen-friendly as possible is a necessity. The good news is that doing so will not limit your flooring options. There are both carpet and hardwood solutions for an allergen- friendly homes. However, depending on several different factors, one might be a better choice for you than the other.
Hardwood Reigns Supreme- Sort Of
The easiest type of flooring for allergens is hardwood. Hardwood is easier to clean and do not trap the pollen, dander, and other allergens that carpet can. A simple hardwood floor is great for homes with pets, because the hair can be quickly swept away. Yet, since hardwood does not actually trap any allergens, they can float around freely in the air. On the other hand, carpet can trap a lot of the dust and other particles floating in the air. This makes it a good option if you are able to keep it clean more often. Carpet keeps the air clean, trapping contaminants until you are ready to vacuum.
Best Carpet Types
Get yourself some natural fiber carpets with low cuts so you don't have as many allergens trapped in the carpet. If you keep this cleaned weekly, you shouldn't have any issues with your allergies. Make sure you use a vacuum that has a good filter which can capture particles from the air as well. You may also want to get you carpet steamed regularly to help extend its lifespan.
Best Hardwood Flooring Types
Traditional hardwood flooring is great because it last a long time and will not trap any particles. All you have to do is wipe it down and keep it swept up. Another flooring option is cork. Cork will be resistant to both mildew and mold and will be as easy to clean as a hardwood floor. No matter what you choose to buy, remember it's the amount of cleaning you are willing to do that will have the biggest effect on allergies, so pick a flooring that works best for you and your schedule.

Bistro LampMarch 05, 2013
I am very delighted to have been able to dine at Bistro Lamp at Surfers Paradise. This little Japanese restaurant which was a ways from the heart of Surfers is a total gem. The joint is actually run by Japanese people and I noticed by ear that Japanese people dined here as well which is a good sign to confirm authenticity of the restaurant. I have found that many of the Japanese restaurants in Sydney are run by Koreans which is not necessarily a bad thing because DT and I usually frequent Sushi Deluxe which is owned by Koreans and they make some awesome sushi!
Bistro Lamp's menu was quite extensive and it was difficult for me to make a decision but I knew I had to try the omurice (omelette rice). I have been intrigued by omurice ever since watching Lunch Queen which is a Japanese drama about a protagonist who is set on replicating the omurice she ate when she was a child. I always felt hungry while watching that drama.
|Karaage Chicken
|Salmon & rice
I do not remember the name of this dish but this is what DT had ordered and he said it was delicious. I'm not a fan of raw fish so I didn't try it but it does look tasty as far as raw fish goes.
Before Bistro Lamp I was only aware of one place that made good okonomiyaki and that's Kura in Haymarket in Sydney and now I have to add Bistro Lamp to the list. It is really interesting to note that the okonomiyaki in Kura is different to this one in that the cabbage is much softer therefore you can't actually distinguish it being in the pancake.
Bistro Lamp's okonomiyaki is defininitely generous with the cabbage and the pork slices. Very flavoursome due to the okonomiyaki sauce and the Japanese mayonnaise. I really could have eaten another one because it was that good. Certainly beats the one I make haha.
That was our dinner on a Tuesday night in Surfers Paradise and it was really top notch. It's not a fine dining experience but it was so lovely to be able to have a taste of some authentic Japanese food in a tourist destination. It is also affordable, I believe the meal came to about $60-70 for 4 dishes which is not bad at all and the service was also prompt and attentive. I also gave a $5 tip which DT exclaimed as being excessive but Bistro Lamp deserved it. So if you're looking for good place to eat while at Surfers Paradise do check out this place if you're in for some good food.

Perth in Focus | Workplace for Gender Equality Agency 2017 National Data Launch
Event Date:
27 November 2017
Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre
21 Mounts Bay Road
In June 2015, the Committee released its landmark report Filling the Pool which looked at the gender imbalance in the Australian workforce, particularly in WA. Identifying that Western Australia had the largest pay gap in the country, at 25.3%, the report looked at why women weren't participating or progressing in corporate life and proposed a roadmap of 31 interlocking recommendations for government, the corporate sector and women.
The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) seeks to promote and improve gender equality in Australian workplaces. Their world-leading dataset covers over 4 million employees in Australia and contains rich information on pay gaps, representation of women and men across industries and employer action to promote gender equality.
At the next Perth in Focus luncheon, Libby Lyons, Director of WGEA, will share key findings of the 2016-17 dataset including trends in progress and areas where more action is needed, with a focus on WA-based organisations. After the keynote address, there will be a Q&A panel session with business leaders, who will reflect on the research nearly two and half years on and discuss what their organisations are doing to help women progress.
We hope you can join us to help advance this important conversation.
Committee for Perth

Knicks SG Tim Hardaway Jr. (stress injury to his lower left leg) has started a treatment and rehab program and will be reevaluated in two weeks, the team said on Tuesday.
Hardaway's time away from the game is up in the air, the NY Post's Marc Berman explained earlier Tuesday.
A stress injury, according to Northwestern Univeristy orthopedist Dr. Wellington Hsu, could keep Hardaway out from two weeks to two months depending on its severity. Hsu explains that the two types of stress injuries -- a stress reaction and a stress fracture -- will determine how long he stays out.
A stress fracture, which is a small break in the bone, would likely have him out about two months. This is due to the fact that running on a stress fracture is possibly, but there is the major risk of completely fracturing the bone.
So, Hardaway and the Knicks are hoping the diagnosis is a stress reaction, which is only swelling of the bone. A stress reaction is significantly better, but its severity could see Hardaway out from four-to-six weeks.
"There's piddly ones and really bad stress reactions," Hsu said. "It could just be a small area of swelling and that's a different type of animal as someone who has swelling in the entire bone."
Hsu said it's more common to see minor stress reactions, and that would likely keep Hardaway out one-to-two weeks.
Hardaway missed his second-straight game Monday night as he didn't travel to Indiana to face the Pacers. As he continues to get evaluated, head coach Jeff Hornacek has noticed what kind of loss Hardaway -- the team's second-leading scorer with 17.8 points a night -- has on his team.
"I think it's concerning to everybody, an injury that might be longer than a game or two," Hornacek said. "He's getting evaluated. Hopefully we'll find out more. Tim was not only a scorer for us, he helped activity, drove to the basket. We're hoping it's not too long."
The 25-year-old made note of the intial pain at practice on Saturday. He has already been playing through a foot injury that is eerily similar to plantar fasciitis, but that diagnosis has not been made. Hsu said that it is possible Hardaway playing through his injuries could have led to the stress reaction.
Either way, Hornacek and the rest of the Knicks' organization is hoping for the best as they need Hardaway moving forward.
"He's a tough kid," Hornacek said. "He had ankle sprains and didn't miss practice. He'd play through those things. It's a good attribute to have in a guy. This could be a wear and tear. We'll find out more."

We're back from our thanksgiving trip to California and not completely happy about it. My Mom was here with us from 4 days after Cole's birth until we all went to CA and I got so used to having her around. It was great- not only was she an extra set of hands to help me with Cole, but she also was a shoulder to cry on when I was frustrated, a shopping partner, an adult to talk to and a reference for my baby questions. In short, my friend is gone.
We were also very sad to leave CA because we have come to realize how much we love it and being in our hometown. It's great to be able to feel safe in a town after dark, to always know your way around, to be able to visit both sides of the family in the same day and to actually have friends around.
Things are still up in the air, but we may end up back there and sooner than we ever thought.
Cole is now almost 5 weeks old. I still can't believe that he's been here over a month (or that I'm STILL not fully healed!). The boy is a boobie hound! He can't get enough. He wants to eat every hour when he's awake. He seems to gain weight every day. His head seems especially heavy and, with how pudgy his cheeks are getting, I have started to accuse him of storing milk away in his cheeks for the winter. My little squirrel.
He's still not so sure about his daddy, but his daddy's getting more comfortable with him and doesn't look panicked and shove him back into my arms as soon as he starts crying anymore.
Cole started smiling a LOT while we were in CA. He smiles the most at me, but he also smiled at his Titi (grandma) and his Auntie Em. His cousin Spencer nearly got a laugh out of him. He laughs in his sleep and it's the cutest thing I've ever heard. He's really interested in hair and will smile at funny hairdos. At the bank the other day, he stared at a woman with bright copper dyed hair for longer than I've ever seen him stare at a stranger.
I'm sorry that we didn't get the chance to see more of our friends while we were back. The time went way too fast. I'll be posting more regularly now (I hope) since I will be home for a while with just Cole. Please, everyone, keep in touch.

So close…and yet…so far. Here's hoping that we get to see each other next time you are in the state.
Those baby laughs are like NOTHING else in the whole wide world. Pretty soon he'll be doing these full-body laughs that are guaranteed to brighten any gloomy day. Not long after that, he'll be laughing his (sweet) head off saying poop and pee.
Hey, you're at least posting more frequently than I am at my place.
Would love to see pictures when you get a chance.

Sometimes you just have to say, "No, ta, I'm good. I don't really need/want/care for that." How often do we take something, sign up for something, that we never really wanted? Yesterday, I was at a street festival with my kids. There were food vendors and jewellery vendors, and a few people handing out free this or that. And it was sort of an automatic response, like instinct kicking in, to reach out and receive whatever these people were offering. Because it's free, and I MIGHT need it later. Right? And it's free, so…
But it's hit me lately that always saying Yes, even to something seemingly innocuous, is not always a good thing.
I like to get emails, and notifications, and LIKES, and tags. It makes me feel special. Lame I know, but this is what happens when you get sucked into the Social Media lifestyle. There is no real problem with getting a lot of information about who is viewing what you've posted. No harm in getting email from your favourite stores whenever there's a sale on. No harm…unless all this is coming in on your cell phone.
I get a rush with every BING and PING and POP! @katnip8 liked my photo on Instagram. John Hancock just tagged me on Facebook. Zippa-di-doo-dah just retweeted my comment. Sure, yeh it makes me feel great! Even getting notifications about the blogs I follow in here makes me happy.
But the constant, steady stream of "Hey, guess what?!" is not good. For one thing, it runs my phone battery down. There are days when I hardly use it, once it's charged for the day, but by noon the phone is hot, and the battery life has drained to half or less.
Another reason, is that it turns me into Pavlov's dog. I am no bitch (if Pavlov's dog was a female…)! But more importantly, I shouldn't be responding to each and every sound or vibration on my phone as if I get a treat with every thing that comes in. There are different sounds to distinguish between email, texts and other types of notifications. But with every noise my hand goes right into my pocket to take out my phone so I can see what it was.
It's like going to a fast food joint, and you get a meal deal. The server asks if you'd like to Super Size your meal, for just 10 cents more!! So you Super Size, feeling like you've just solved a major world crisis by making this particular deal. But guess what? Not only have you paid out more money than you'd planned, even if it is only 10 cents; you've also purchased more food than you could possibly finish comfortably. Where's the benefit?
So this is where I am. I've Super Sized myself into mental fullness, so I'm cutting back. Not only am I saying, "No, thank you" to extra this or that, I'm opting out of other things completely. Last night I went through most of my emails, found the unsubscribe option and clicked. I went into Facebook and un-checked text pop-ups for just about everything. And with each unsubscribe and every un-check, I felt lighter and freeer. Because I don't really need to know about all the sales, I don't shop that often. And I'd don't really need to know about the latest WordPress blog updates, because I come in here every day anyway. I can live without knowing who tags/likes/adds/comments on my various social sites, at least until I have the opportunity to go in and see what's happening.
This morning when I woke up, and checked my phone, I had 2 emails. TWO. Most mornings I have at least 10. My battery is fully charged, and I expect it be like that wayyyyy past noon.

Artificial Intelligence: Redefining Healthcare Cybersecurity Practises
• AI will transform healthcare as we know it now. E.g. intelligent medical devices
• It also has the power to secure healthcare IT systems which are continually being attacked for patient/customer data
• Importance of risk management and being able to categorise risk of attacks in order to prioritise is key
• Security professionals require tools that help them react quickly to cyberattacks
• Reporting of cybersecurity at board level is now the norm
Cutting edge healthcare providers are using AI to improve the lives of patients, by deploying deep learning and machine learning to perform advanced medical functions. AI is being deployed to reduce the time and effort it takes to implement life-changing decisions. For example, IBM Watson launched a project called WatsonPaths to help physicians make more informed and accurate decisions faster and to cull new insights from electronic medical records (EMR). Actionable intelligence, driven by AI is helping people make healthier choices and decisions, as data is now far more accessible than ever before. The potential use cases for AI in healthcare are vast and we are going to see further adoption of the technology within the sector over coming months and years.
Similarly, AI is being used within cyber security to improve prevention, detection and cure of an ever-growing wave of cyberattacks. In cyber security, AI is being deployed in novel ways, such as; identifying anomalies in normal traffic patterns and proactively hunting potential threats that would ordinarily take years to process. Cyberlytic has joined the AI revolution to help make cyberspace a safer place to operate. Our software protects businesses by using AI to detect and triage attacks, allowing IT teams to resolve the most dangerous attacks first.
Cyberlytic's web application security is particularly applicable to healthcare providers because of the data these organisations hold. Many health organisations have a public website which services citizens 24/7 and an online portal, making it imperative to secure the site and its personal data. This data is highly valuable to hackers and organised criminals, who will use sophisticated attacks to steal it. Our unique website and application security software uses AI to analyse huge volumes of data and instantly detects dangerous attack characteristics. Our analytics applies a patented approach to triage attacks and presents the organisation with actionable intelligence.

It's about the little things.
Coming home this week for spring break is always something I look forward to. I miss Sammy so much when I am gone and I am unsure if he understands where I am while I am gone. I was greeted by a huge smile on his face and when I said hi, he leaned in and gave me a kiss on the cheek. These are the little things that mean SO much to me. Knowing that he is excited to see me makes me so happy and I cannot even describe the feeling it gives me.
So far, I was able to go to one of neurology appointments while I have been home. He goes to see the neurologist twice a year for check ups and to see if there are any changes we need to make for him. Sammy has Epilepsy so he has been on anti-seizure medicine for as long as I can remember. I have only witnessed one grand-mal seizure that my brother went through during the entire 15 years I have known him and it has got to be one of the most scariest things I could see. You can't do anything and its just so different from anything else you've ever seen.
Because Sammy cannot talk, the neurologist relies on my mom, his team, and me to tell to him what is going on with Sam. We can't ever be sure though because he can't tell us. Could you imagine? You have the worst headache in the world and you are unable to tell someone that's what hurts. So, they go through a series of things to try to figure it out -- which is probably more irritating than the headache. What if we never figure it out? What if he just has to deal with it while the rest of us can go lay down or takes some medicine.
Going to appointments with Sammy is definitely an experience. We bring his iPod and headphones so he will have something to do. However, getting to take his height, weight, blood pressure is almost impossible. Getting him to stand up straight or stand still is such a challenge because he doesn't understand what we're doing and why we're doing it. Then, instead of the doctor being able to tell Sammy to grab a specific object or look over at something, he has to guide his eyes and hands to see if the coordination is there. Everything is adapted. Including the MRI that he wants Sammy to get to just have a "check up." He has to be sedated for it because he will not sit still and it will freak him out. Could you imagine if you had to go to all this appointments, let alone have to adapt everything so you could get it done correctly. It's crazy. This is what I'm talking about though, we take the little thing for granted. We take advantage of having the skills to get dressed, unzip a bag, getting our blood drawn, etc. It's not always about what the answer is or what the test says at the end of the day, sometimes its just how you got there or go it completed.

Autism from a sibling's point of view...
March 2018
My name is Paige and I am 26 years old. I graduated from Towson University with a Psychology Bachelors Degree and from Johns Hopkins with a Post-Bacc Certificate in Education of Autism and other Pervasive Disorders at . I recently left my job at Kennedy Krieger Institute and began my Master's Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis at University of South Florida. My younger brother, Sammy, is 20 and has Autism. He is non-vocal, unaware of safety, is not toilet trained, cannot get himself dressed, and has difficulty with everyday activities that we all take advantage of. He works harder every single day of his life than anyone I know and he always does it with a smile on his face. He is my true hero and inspiration and because of him, I have dedicated my life to advocating and creating opportunities for individuals with Autism. I hope that I can make him proud and this blog is just a small part of the awareness I hope I can create about Autism and support other siblings impacted by Autism. I love you Sammy - thank you for everything.

Will back Maratha reservation demand: Mahashtra BJP
Maharashtra BJP would support the demand of Maratha reservations without changing the existing quota for other communities, the party said on Wednesday.india Updated: Oct 05, 2016 22:38 IST
Maharashtra BJP would support the demand of Maratha reservations without changing the existing quota for other communities, the party said on Wednesday.
Talking to reporters at the end of the first day of BJP's state executive meeting here, state BJP chief Raosaheb Danve said a resolution supporting the demand of Maratha reservations would be discussed and adopted at the meeting.
The previous Congress-NCP government issued the ordinance giving reservations to Marathas and Muslims with an eye on the Assembly polls, and that was the reason the ordinance did not stand up to the court's scrutiny, he claimed.
He rejected the allegation of Congress and NCP that BJP government could not present its stand on the Maratha quota before the High Court adequately.
"We came to power on October 31, 2014. It is just that the court order came during our tenure," he added.
The ordinance issued by the previous government was challenged before the High Court which stayed it.
Danve said all stake-holders should discuss with the government how best to put the stand before the court (in the ongoing hearing). "We are ready for discussion," he said.
The state BJP chief also said that chief minister Devendra Fadnavis had announced formation of a ministerial group which will hold meetings at the district level regarding the demands of Maratha organisations.
The politically dominant Maratha community has been taking out huge silent marches to press its demands, which has shaken up the politics in Maharashtra.

Campaigners battling to save a community gardening project in Peterborough say their fight has been backed by hundreds of city people.
Volunteers with the Green Backyard, in London Road, are raising cash in a bid to hold on to the 1.5 acre site.
The land is owned by Peterborough City Council, which has put the site on the market and given buyers until Friday (16 January) to submit bids.
A price tag has not been put on the land but the value is thought to be about £750,000.
Chair of the Green Backyard Rich Hill said: "So far the public appeal for £10 to save a square foot of the Green Backyard has raised close to £14,000 in just seven weeks.
"This equates to hundreds of local people stepping forward in a difficult economic climate to vote with their pocket.
"We've identified a possible £1.7 million in available grants from which we would expect to raise at least £350,000, yet we need at least a year to access these funds.
Mr Hill said: "It is within the power of the council to transfer the asset to the Green Backyard."
Co-founder Sophie Antonelli said: "The bid deadline is Friday and we are working on our submission.
"Our understanding is once the bids have all been submitted and an approximate value gained for the site, the council will enter into negotiations with us and if our bid is successful we will then have extra time to raise the money."
A council spokesman said: "Considerable interest has been shown in the site and all bids will be opened at the same time on Friday.
"If the Green Backyard is successful a contract will be issued in a matter of weeks.
He added: "The exchange of contracts will take place within six weeks and the transaction will complete shortly thereafter."
