Do you represent a bar, restaurant, theater or other venue? Are you interested in having the United Court of Austin host a show in your venue? We'd love to! We're sure you have a few questions.
What does it cost me to have the UCA perform in my venue?
Absolutely nothing! We're a charitable organization, and all money raised during our shows goes directly to the community right here in Austin. We don't charge you a cent, and we're appreciative of the opportunity. You get free entertainment, and we raise money for charity. It's a win-win!
What kind of venue do you need to perform?
All we really need is a space. We're low maintenance. Of course, if your venue has a stage area, some lights, and a changing room of sorts, all the better. We're not afraid to get our hands dirty, but a well lit performance area certainly allows us to put on a better show.
What kinds of shows do you do?
The UCA has a long history of producing drag shows, cabaret shows, and other similar entertainments. However, if you have something specific in mind, just let us know. We'll see what we can put together for you.
So, you do everything for charity, right?
We sure do! Every cent we raise goes to local charities right here in Travis and the surrounding counties. We hold 15% in our bank account until the end of the year to cover operating expenses, and the remainder of that is also dispersed. We operate on a shoestring budget so we can give us much as possible to the community.
How do you guys make money?
Tips! It's customary at a drag show to tip the performers while they perform. It's a fun experience for the crowd, and it's our primary source of income. We also usually sell raffle tickets for a few prizes, we might sell a few jello shots. We try our best to get creative to raise as much money as possible. Of course, if your business would like to make a donation, it's certainly appreciated (though not required by any means).
Who are your beneficiaries?
Every reign, our Monarchs choose 2 primary beneficiaries for the year. This year (and every year for the past 20) our primary beneficiaries have been The Wright House Wellness Center and Project Transitions, two wonderful organizations providing health and housing services to those living with HIV/AIDS.
Do you raise money for other oraganizations?
We sure do. Over the years, we've given money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, The Texas Gay Rodeo Association, the Crohn's and Colitis Foundation, and many others. Any organization that is a registered 501(c)3 is eligible to receive funds from our fundraising efforts. We do many shows throughout the year, and the show's producer can choose to raise funds for any eligible organization.
What if I want to raise funds for a specific organization?
That's fine with us! We're glad to help. Raising money is what we do best, and we love doing it. As long as the organization you have in mind is a 501(c)3, we can produce a fundraiser for their benefit. Just let us know!
Ok, and the legal stuff.
The United Court of Austin is a registered 501(c)3 organization. We exist for the sole purpose of raising funds for other charitable organizations. When we produce a show (even for a specific beneficiary) the funds collected, in the form of cash, checks, credit cards, etc must be dispersed to the United Court of Austin. We will keep 15% in our accounts to cover our operating costs, and the remainder distributed by check to the beneficiary within 3 business days of the show date. If you'd like to hold a fundraiser for a specific organization, that's fine with us, as long as the check is actually made out to the United Court of Austin so we can cover operating expenses. (Remember, even the remainder of that 15% is distributed to our primary beneficiaries at the end of the year. We keep nothing for ourselves, and all members and performers for the United Court of Austin are strictly volunteer.)
That's all there is to it! If you're interested in inviting the United Court of Austin to perform in your venue, just fill out the form below and we'll get back to you as soon as possible. We generally like to book dates at least a month in advance to avoid conflicts, but we're no strangers to short notice, so if you need a specific date, just let us know.

Geiger's career-best 11 assists help Idaho turn back Hawaii
Sun., Feb. 6, 2011
MOSCOW, Idaho – Idaho senior guard Jeff Ledbetter plopped down in his chair in the University of Idaho media room and immediately his eyes scanned across the scoresheet to the assist column.
He wasn't concerned about his own tally in a 75-61 trouncing of Hawaii – no, just how many one teammate in particular had stockpiled.
"I want to see Deremy's assists," Ledbetter said, referring to UI point guard Deremy Geiger.
Geiger, as Ledbetter quickly realized, handed out a career-high 11 assists on Saturday night with 1,191 at Cowan Spectrum – and nine came during a sparkling first half that helped rouse the Vandals out of an early-game slumber and end a four-game losing streak.
With the WAC victory over the Rainbow Warriors, who had won four of their last five games, Idaho (13-10, 6-5) moved to fourth place in the conference. It's just one-half game behind Nevada and New Mexico State in the win-loss column entering Wednesday's home clash with No. 22 Utah State.
"We will be ready to go. I guarantee it," Vandals coach Don Verlin said of the season's first matchup against his mentor, USU coach Stew Morrill. "I won't guarantee a win, but I'll guarantee we'll be ready."
Geiger, who started at Utah State before transferring, has struggled with his shooting the past three weeks. He's missed his last 10 shots from the field, including the only three he took Saturday. So he decided to shift to distribution mode.
Several of his assists came when pushing the tempo and finding Ledbetter or Stephen Madison on the perimeter. The Vandals hit 10 of 18 shots from 3-point range against UH, and all came from Ledbetter, Madison and Shawn Henderson.
"It was nice to make some shots," Verlin said. "We just made a bunch of shots tonight, especially from 3. When you shoot it 10 for 18, you're pretty hard to beat."
Over the past few weeks the Warriors (13-10, 4-7) appeared to be a different team than the one the Vandals beat by 15 in Honolulu on Jan. 6. They looked sharp in the early moments, jumping to a 17-10 lead thanks to their length and 1-3-1 zone defense.
But sparked by Madison, a freshman reserve, the Vandals mounted a 15-0 surge with a wave of long-range shots.
In a key two-minute sequence midway through the first half, Madison canned three consecutive 3s to erase a seven-point deficit and give UI a lead it didn't relinquish. The last triple, assisted by Geiger, was set up by Madison's steal and out-of-bounds save.
"With Stephen Madison, Jeff (Ledbetter), those are guys who are great shooters," Geiger said. "When I think of them, I just try to think, 'Where would I like the ball? Where I would like it as a shooter?' "

What is the difference between Asset Protection and Exemption Law
In the world of Asset Protection the topic of exemption law rarely comes up and we really feel that is a huge mistake. California has given its citizens a major planning tool that is rarely used and it comes in the form of a Private Retirement Plan using California state law – statute CCP 704.115. Most asset protection strategies usually fall into the category of "hiding assets" meaning moving them to another state, or another country and hiding them behind corporate veils or offshore trust, sounds complicated? Here in California, the strategy used to be to move the assets to Nevada where you would get much better asset protection and tax treatment. Unfortunately that strategy is slowly going the way of the DoDo Bird as the Californian government entities and judges that oversea those rules have gotten more aggressive.
Bankruptcy Attorney understand exemption law and you can look in the above CA civil code to see what the exemptions are. They usually change every year. Wouldn't it be easier to just exempt your assets using your retirement plan?
Off Shore Planning… Its Expensive
Moving your assets offshore used be a viable strategy and still can be under some circumstances. This best circumstance for offshore planning is if you are planning to move outside the United States, this strategy make a lot of sense but does have its own pitfalls, such as where will I live, can I trust the banks or Government, how easy is to move my money etc..
So what if I want to stay in California? What are my Options?
If you want to stay in California and live and work, then you need to know about a California Private Retirement Trusts. Using the power of the California civil code your assets that can be protected as long as they can be proven to be necessary for your future use aka. retirement. Now to be clear, your entire estate can most likely not be fully protected, but an analysis can be done to see what your exposure is and how it can be mitigated.

Once in my life you showed me your love
Then I knew your love was for good
Without asking me anything in return
You love me true even if I don't ask you to
Your love is sweet and true
Telling me you will never let me go
I don't listen nor believed you
So I stray and went to dark avenues
Entertaining lies of men who only want my flesh
Who wants to devour their lust and I allowed them
Can't understand why I was lead into such deception
Why didn't I guard my heart not to fall into the trap of temptation?
Should I mutter it now?
My mind have been corrupted into believing
True love no longer exist
And my heart is so battered I don't believe in love anymore
Tragic moment came when I believed
the lies in this world that love is not real
that everyone is bound to be chained in pain
Love is bought with money in temporal want
But then I found you one day standing at my doorstep
looking at me – waiting
you knew just how broken I am
you knew that I am drenched in wounds of love
you knew that my heart lost everything after all the wrong love
yet you still come and wanted me
Still giving me all the love you could ever give
Still asking me to let your love be in my heart
So no more tears will fall, so no more lonely nights
No more longing but fulfilled.
Oh how you love me so much?
Why you just cared for me this much
Now hitting the wall of enough
I'm tired of going to wrong places looking for love
Why I have to be broken in order to find you?
To understand that there is only you
Whose love will never ever fail
Oh Jesus, fill me with your love
I'm such in pain over committing sin
Choosing deceitful hearts instead of you
O God your love is beyond measure and words
How could you endure the years of courting me
Wanting me to know you for real
For offering love yet I did not listen
Your patience is unfathomable
Indeed its love and I have no more words
Oh Jesus forgive me for rejecting you
Oh Jesus forgive me if I was blinded by the love of this world
After all the pain and never ending crying nights
Now I'm tired of chasing pavements
I'm tired of hunting down the road of whatever
When you have always invited me to accept your eternal love
Now that I have realized and seen the truth
I am aching now wanting more of you
I want to trade my sinful heart O God
Purify me that I may no longer bleed in pain
For I know now, I have came to know the truth
Its your love that never fails!
The kind of love that gives life
The kind of love that this world could never give

We're halfway through December, and that means it's time to preview 2018—which is what ABC is doing tonight with a Bachelor special you can read about below.
Some reality shows are returning and/or debuting this week, starting with season two of Netflix's first competition reality series, Ultimate Beastmaster (Dec. 14), which is very similar to American Ninja Warrior.
Also back this week is Little Women: Atlanta (Lifetime, Wednesdays at 9) followed by a new spin-off series, Little Women: Terra's Big House (Lifetime, Wednesdays at 10), on which Terra renovates her first home.
It's the holidays and time for food and drink, so not a bad time for a new season of The Best Thing I Ever Ate (Cooking Channel, Mondays at 8).
Who is Arie? A Bachelor special reminds us
The Bachelor returns on the very first day of next year, but that's not soon enough for ABC, which is airing "a one-hour special season preview" tonight titled The Bachelor: Countdown to Arie.
Who knew there'd ever be a countdown to Arie Luyendyk Jr.?
While the special will include a montage of the "Worst Kisses in Bachelor History" and "[c]heck in with the most popular Bachelor and Bachelorette couples for the latest on their love stories," it seems like it's mostly designed to remind Bachelor Nation who Arie is and why they should care about him now, with a recap of his time on The Bachelorette.
Here's how ABC describes it:
"Travel back to Arie's memorable journey to find love with one of America's favorite Bachelorettes, Emily Maynard (now Emily Maynard Johnson). Five years ago, Arie fell madly in love with Emily and was ready to get down on one knee to propose when his heart was broken. Relive one of the most heart-wrenching breakups in Bachelor history and discover how Arie finally got closure."
Harry + Meghan, on TLC
It's been just over two weeks since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle said they were engaged, and TLC has managed to churn out "a one-hour special chronicling Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's romantic journey from courtship to proposal."
When Harry Met Meghan: A Royal Engagement (TLC, Tuesday, Dec. 12 at 9) "introduces the early childhoods of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle as they shared several parallels in their upbringing" and also "explores Meghan's background as a biracial divorcee and her role as a human rights ambassador."
Also this week
- Panama's Animal Highway (Smithsonian, Wednesday, Dec. 13 at 8) is about a place that's become "a link between two continents that acts as a bridge for millions of migrating animals, but it also forces these animals through a bottleneck, where threats are intensified."
- Lidia Celebrates America: Homegrown Heroes (PBS, Friday, Dec. 15, at 10) follows "chef, author and food ambassador Lidia Bastianich [who] pays tribute to the military men and women who have sacrificed so much, and continue to give back to their country."
- A Gray State (A&E, Monday, Dec. 11, at 10, and then Netflix on Dec. 25) is a documentary about an Iraq veteran who was producing a film that A&E says "was enthusiastically received by the burgeoning online community of libertarians, Tea Party activists as well as members of the nascent alt-right." Then he and his family died, and those "shocking deaths quickly become a cause célèbre for conspiracy theorists who speculate that Crowley was assassinated by a shadowy government concerned about a film and filmmaker that was getting too close to the truth about their aims." The doc is produced by Werner Herzog and directed by Erik Nelson.

Like all significant manufacturers, Jeep is also taking care of its SUV array and we currently found the all-new Compass which comes as the replacement for the current Patriot and Compass models. For the 2018 model year, we must also see the redesigned Wrangler as well as this model based pickup truck. But probably, Truck would not stop there as heavily refreshed or even all-new Jeep Fantastic Cherokee must arrive for the 2018 model year. Nevertheless, Fantastic Cherokee's smaller companion, 2018 Jeep Cherokee should also be under revision and evolve in many aspects.
Truck reintroduced the Cherokee nameplate for the 2014 model year and this compact crossover SUV must enter to the 2018 model year with the upgrades on almost all fronts. Truck hasn't hinted what it has in cards for this model but it is expected that Cherokee might receive the mid-cycle update. The changes should be visible inside and out plus a new engine option could possibly be available.
When Truck returned the Cherokee model on the road, it made a departure from the Jeep's unique front conclusion design with the specific snout form that changed Jeep's normal upright design. This shift undoubtedly created this model unique among different Jeeps and now we expect that 2018 Jeep Cherokee will again make some changes on mode's front fascia. Actually, the most of the changes for the new model year should be on model's front end. Some new sort of the seven-slot grille and headlights will refresh Cherokee's experience plus the reshaped front bumper.
The new version of this model should also provide freshened taillights and new rear bumper. Nevertheless, the model will likely keep on in same proportions and overall shape.
Interior of the next Cherokee is expected to evolve with the fresh products and updated features. It is also probable that Truck would provide an additional trim solution with specific design touches, replaced seats and high-end features.
On the other give, all trims will soon be well-equipped and more common functions should really be available. All models will have the tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel, keyless access, LED DRLs and taillights, etc. The latest Uconnect infotainment system must be the standard feature on all designs except the base Sport model. The buyers will have a way to get the leather upholstery, energy and hot front seats, intelligent climate get a handle on, unique interior and exterior decorations and more on upper trim levels. The Trailhawk can come with off-road themed exterior and upgraded off-road hardware.
The new Cherokee may also be available with the latest active security systems.  The model will include the adaptive cruise get a handle on, street departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, forward collision warning and intervention, etc.
When it comes to running choices of the new 2018 Jeep Cherokee, we expect that Truck could make some changes. The base models is going to be powered by the 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine but it might get energy and torque boost. In its recent sort, this engine provides 184 hp and torque of 171 pound-feet.
The option for this engine should remain a 3.2-liter V-6 which should also see some changes over the current 271 hp and 239 lb-ft of torque. Nevertheless, some options also suggest that the new Cherokee may also add a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. It should have the power potential which could reach 300 hp.
On the other, all 2018 Cherokee models will probably get a nine-speed intelligent transmission. The front-wheel travel will soon be common and all-wheel travel optional. The model may also be available with the more capable four-wheel travel process for significant off-roading.
Truck must disclose the new 2018 Jeep Cherokee during the first half of this year. Then, we may have more accurate information regarding model's features. The new Cherokee should go for sale by the end of the year. Anticipated price is from about $25, 000.

Always put the horse's best interests first
Dear All,
My story with miniature horses began when I was introduced to a rescued mini, dubbed "Bertie Basset", on a visit to Highveld Horse Care several years ago.
Not being an experienced horseman, I instantly found myself at ease with this creature that showed all the complex attributes of a horse, but minus the intimidating physical presence that usually accompanies one.
The idea formed to bring a mini into our riding yard at Taratay Stables, to introduce first timers and young children to the wonderful world of horses in an approachable and enchanting manner.
This led us to a Sunday drive in the country and a stop in at a miniature horse breeder who had advertised a foal for sale.
Well, that foal was already gone, but with the owner reacting to recent lifestyle events, the rest of the stud was unexpectedly also up for sale.
So we chose our first mare, Jessie, mostly on looks and temperament. But she would need a companion and Cappucino was similarly gorgeous.
And then we were introduced to Gucci, who proceeded to pop over jumps higher than I had ever managed on my thoroughbred, then stood on a barrel and waved at me with one hoof!
Maybe it was time to take the plunge and start our own stud?
Once you decide to buy your first stallion, the second one is much easier and Dreamer added himself to the order courtesy of some beautiful impromptu in-hand work.
In that week came the call to say that the horses had been entered in the Horse of the Year show and would we like to bring them through?
At the show they were re-united with the remaining mare and stallion we had left behind previously and the conversation went something like this:
(Wife) What were you thinking! You left me alone with a glass of wine and a credit card!
(me) What did you do??
(Wife) Meet Irresistible. He was. and Gatsby wants to come home with us too...
We have since added baby Tai and the pretty girls Ice and Goldie to the herd, which is set to expand again shortly with spring time foals on the way.
Our story is just beginning and you are most welcome to follow our progress on www.robertsonstud.co.za and also via the Robertson Stud Facebook page.
Our intention is to produce excellent horses always, with confirmation, health, character and temperament of paramount importance,
and we will have fun and adventures along the way, as we revel in the glorious presence of many miniature horses.
All of the Best,
Ian Robertson

Begins at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1300 Locust St.
In partnership with the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, this teacher workshop uncovers the Philadelphia monuments of the past and questions what makes a monument in the 21st century. After a walking tour of some monuments in Center City, the workshop reconvenes at PAFA, situated as the central hub for the Mural Arts Monuments Lab project. Teachers will participate in a workshop to develop classroom projects that encourage civic engagement and student leadership.

The first step is de-nailing and removing any metal from the raw material.
The wood is then sent through the Wood Mizer to be milled to a thickness of one inch,
and a width specified by the customer. After milling, the raw flooring is kiln-dried
to ensure that all moisture has been removed from the wood. Running the raw flooring through the edger machine provides a straight-edged board in preparation for the tongue and groove edging that is added by the moulder machine. The moulder also finishes
the board by adding back relief to the bottom of the flooring in order to stabilize the floor and prevent cupping. Each board is then carefully hand packed for transport to the job site.
The process of reclaiming old, authentic barn beams, logs, and siding into precision-milled and kiln-dried wide plank flooring is all done by hand at Baummer Sawmill.

The Stendhal Syndrome
Friday, October 20
1hr 59mins // directed by:Dario Argento // featuring:Asia Argento // DCP Restoration
Dario Argento's masterpiece of terror - uncut, uncensored and newly remastered!
When beautiful police detective Anna Manni (Asia Argento) follows the bloody trail of a sophisticated serial murderer/rapist through the streets of Italy, the young woman falls victim to the bizarre "Stendhal Syndrome" - a hallucinatory phenomenon which causes her to lose her mind and memory in the presence of powerful works of art. Trapped in this twilight realm, Anna plunges deeper and deeper into sexual psychosis, until she comes to know the killer's madness more intimately than she ever imagined.
Horror maestro Dario Argento (Suspiria) reaches new heights of florid fantasy and Grand Guignol with this warped work of art starring Maxim Magazine's "Sexiest Woman in the World" Asia Argento (Land of the Dead, XXX), Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong) and Marco Leonardi (Cinema Paradiso). Previously edited outside of Italy, Blue Underground proudly presents The Stendhal Syndrome in a gorgeous new 2K restoration from the original camera negative!

Across the state and across the nation, there is a reminder of the wreckage of the current economic recession. It is cities and towns, large and small, that are all wrestling with the same financial and budgetary issues.
As the cost of educating students continues to escalate, as contracts and employment agreements with Board of Education employees have not been adjusted to match the current economic climate, communities are struggling to fund the basic education of our children.
Forget about NCLB, CMT's, CAPT tests, and all of the high standards that the state and federal government are fond of demanding, but not so fond of funding, right now, in most communities, it is survival time for their respective school system.
Pension costs and health care costs are- as Mayor John DeStefano of New Haven has stated, the "Pac Man" of municipal budgeting. Gobbling up any discretionary dollars or any money that might be available to execute improvement plans, hire staff, retain staff or develop new programing.
Of the Board of Ed's budget, $21 million is for health care for its employees. Not included in the Board of Education's budget is a $1 million payment that City of Danbury must make to the pension fund for the BOE's employees that do not participate in the State Teachers Retirement Fund.
This year I have proposed a $1 million increase to the operating budget for the Board of Education. The Board of Education is asking for $4.2 million of new funding.
Over the last 10 years. the City of Danbury and its taxpayers have been proud to invest in public education. Our operational budget for the BOE has increased by 32% -- yet our student population has grown by just 11%.
These dollars do not include investments in two new elementary schools, renovations to Rogers Park Middle School and Broadview Middle School as well as dozens of smaller projects that the taxpayers of the City of Danbury are paying back through our debt service.
Today, our taxpayers are under more pressure than ever before.
In 2010 there were 187 foreclosures in the City of Danbury. In 2005, there were 7.
Unemployment in the Greater Danbury Area has reached 8.2%.
On top of that, Gov. Malloy is proposing a significant number of new taxes that will hit Danbury families hard.
Going forward, we must work together to find new ways of doing business. That means that the State of Connecticut, the Federal Government, and our unions must be at the table with our Board of Education to change the way that services are delivered so that we can reduce cost.
Our current path of multi-million dollar increases to the Board of Education every year is simply unsustainable.
It's the "New Normal" let's get used to it..

Over the last week, Iran has been hit with a wave of protests against the government that began with many demanding action over economic issues like the cost of living and unemployment.
Some of the demonstrations turned deadly with reports of more than 20 killed. The unrest is one of the biggest challenges Iran's leadership has faced since the disputed presidential election in 2009.
But tens-of-thousands have also attended pro-government rallies. Leaders have pointed to outside interference. And, on Wednesday, the head of Iran's Revolutionary Guard declared the defeat of what he called "sedition" in his country.
To discuss all angles of the protests in Iran:
- Reza Marashi, research director for the National Iranian American Council.
- Kaveh Afrasiabi, an author and political scientist and is an expert on Iranian foreign affairs.
- Dorothy Parvaz, global politics reporter at ThinkProgress.
- Alexander Azadgan, a professor of international political economy and a geopolitical analyst.
Iran Protests Around the World
People protest in solidarity with Iranians from London to Romania.

I found the Australia Homepage extremely useful. I could be booking a weekend away for Easter or just trying to find out about a local restaurant, I found it great as a one-stop website for finding anything about Australia.
Hannah Oliver
Love this site! Found out about a few great restaurants recently, when I took my first trip up from Sydney to Noosa.

Framing Powerful Memories of School
Remember the excitement of fifth grade? We had enough tools in our backpack to read and write, problem solve, ask big questions, and attack the world with vibrant eyes and independence. Every Friday, I rushed off the bus to search encyclopedias (remember those?), call my grandparents, and contact library reference desks to find the answer to Ms. Setzer's weekly trivia question. She piqued my curiosity and inspired my thinking with an optional weekend challenge.
By Monday morning, I proudly placed an answer on Ms. Setzer's desk. Nothing beat the feeling of conquering another quest, and the look of satisfaction in my teacher's warm smile. During the week in Ms. Setzer's class, I eagerly completed daily content lessons so I could sit in the oversized chair—the one by the fish tanks—on the stage in the back of the room. In that sacred space, I had time to read for pleasure, solve brain teasers, learn how to play chess, or work on a project.
The most memorable project extended well beyond the fifth grade curriculum. Our school was running a silent auction to fundraise for a charity. Each student was asked to reach out to family and friends for auction items. My buddy and I brainstormed ideas from the oversized chairs in the back of the classroom. What could two fifth grade boys possibly contribute to the cause?
With wild imaginations and a shared passion for professional football, we asked, "What if?" What if we wrote letters to every NFL team asking for donations of apparel, memorabilia, autographs? Would the organizations get back to us? There was only one way to find out. For weeks, during any spare moment in the school day, we crafted handwritten letters to every football team. At the time, that was a totally rad idea. Looking back…it still is. We discovered a greater purpose and extra incentive to invest in school: we were receiving mail from super stars—athletic idols we emulated at recess.
I don't recall how much money we raised, but I remember the time invested in planning, researching addresses, crafting each letter, editing our work, and networking in the professional world. Interestingly, I never received a grade for my efforts, nor cared about how I compared to my peers.
Ms. Setzer unleashed the learner in me; I was more motivated than ever before and confident to attack middle school challenges. For all the inspiration she provided, I returned the gratitude with my finest artistic masterpiece—a caricature in her image. She proudly displayed that pencil sketch in a frame above her desk until she retired. As I return to those fifth grade memories after more than twenty years of teaching, I get it. I understand how Ms. Setzer made every student feel important by empowering us as learners. Diana Setzer was a trailblazer.
It's no surprise, with experiences similar to mine, three-quarters of fifth-graders are engaged in school—meaning they are interested and involved in their learning (Calderon and Yu, 2016). My fifth-grade daughter has the same look in her eye: independent, inquisitive, craving challenge, and proud to showcase her talents. But I worry about her enthusiasm for school fading over time. The 2016 Gallup Poll also indicates by the time students reach junior year, only 33% are engaged, leaving one-third not engaged, and the remaining third actively disengaged. I am even more concerned that my fifth grader will lose enthusiasm for herself, particularly if over 80% of students base self-worth on how they are performing in school (University of Michigan Study, 2002). What influences such extreme shifts in attitude? As graduation nears, why does the love of learning shrink and the desire to explore natural curiosities disappear? We have an obligation to our children to attack apathy and alleviate school-related stress.
As A.J. Juliani reminded an audience of educators at The 8th Annual National Convening on Personalized Learning, we have to Empower learners. We can't let school get in the way of learning. Too often, kids play the game of school where the formula for success is: "make the adult in the classroom happy–make adults at home happy." The best way to engage students in learning is through their natural interests. Students will get over their fear of choosing something to learn when their teachers take a similar risk with their traditional delivery of course content.
Following Juliani's inspiring keynote, I co-presented a Unleashing Learners' Superpowers with four of my heroes. In the session, students shared their stories and insightful perspectives of personalized learning from their experiences in our eleventh grade World Literature course. I proudly stepped aside and their heroic voices filled the room. Needless to say, the reward of presenting with my heroes was as gratifying as a fifth-grader's pencil sketch tribute, and a memory I will certainly frame forever.

Supporting underrepresented founders is essential to our investment model.
We envision a world in which technology unlocks and unleashes humanity's creative potential. That begins by ensuring that everyone has an opportunity to participate in the creative economy – every voice a chance to be heard, every story a chance to be told. Directing capital and other resources to historically marginalized voices can help level the playing field for the ultimate benefit of all.
There are also strategic benefits to investing actively where other investors have blind spots. That includes engaging intentionally with founders from backgrounds that have historically been woefully underrepresented among venture-backed companies.

Looking back ten years ago I never knew where I would be at 30 years old. Sure, we all have dreams of what we want for our lives. We don't realize life happens and we just live day to day. Some dreams come true and others don't and other dreams come alive that we never knew existed. It all makes sense. One thing I can say about turning 30 is that I see God's hands in everything around me, in everything about my life, in everything I go through and everything I conquer. 30 is a whole new beginning. The 20s are over and we are on a new journey. It's quite exciting!!!
On my actual birthday I got my closest friends together at Saint Ann's in Dallas. We started on the patio then went inside to eat and hang out. We had the best time. We ate and laughed and laughed some more. They were the best gift. After Saint Ann's, Anna, Max, Jenna, Sarah, Nick and I all went to the Loon to end the night. It was very low key and I just loved it. I didn't want the night to end. Truly wonderful.
Nick's Parents
My dear friend, Sarah Michele Cohen
Wonderful friends Anna, Kacie, Andrea & Jana
Cody and I grew up next door to one another playing GI Joes and Barbies. Only fitting. I was so happy he and Kristy could join us!!!
I think this is the worst picture I've ever seen of me! But, it tasted good!
Others in attendance I didn't get great photos of: Geoff, Tony, Jenna, Kristy, Max, Jason & Michele
Nick planned a weekend of surprises. I had NO CLUE. I was scared to death! I'm a big time planner of each hour!!! We started off late because we were so tired from Thursday night! Nick planned a big breakfast, but he was nice enough to let me sleep a bit! Our first stop was the Dallas Zoo! He wanted me to feel young at heart. It was AMAZING!!!!!! My favorites were the penguins, goats and giraffes. The gorilla was asleep and he was so adorable. I totally understand how children love the zoo.
We then went out to Alla's Historical Bed and Breakfast. It was beyond a dream. The owners, Rick and Alla were so much fun. The home is about 100 years old. The things inside are so neat to look at. Alla is from Ukraine so she has so many stories. First off when we arrived they gave us a tour of the house and we sat down to talk a bit. I'll let the pictures tell the story of the home. Alla was such an interesting lady. First off, when you arrive you get a glass of wine. She sure fills that thing up! And you better not allow it to get low or she fills it up more. It made me giggle. She makes everything from scratch and organic so she has a lot of wisdeom about that. She and Rick sat with us for hours just telling stories. I could have sat there the entire night! Before we watched a movie and after we had our glass of wine with Rick and Alla, Nick surprised me with a hike at a nearby preserve. It was almost dark, but we got in a bit of a hike!!! At breakfast they ring the dinner bell and we all come! We had such a great breakfast. Rick and Alla again sat with us and talked. The food was very yummy, but the conversation was just as good! We will for sure be going back and sending friends to them! They have won many awards... in true reporter fashion I asked what made them different... Alla said hospitality. I believe her because they treated us like family!
Saturday the first destination was the JFK Museum. I had wanted to go there forever. It was so interesting!!! We were wiped out so I went home for a nap before Nick surprised me with a night out at Terillis. It is a restaurant on Lower Greenville. Such a neat and nice atmosphere. We ate then came home for leftover birthday cake.
What a perfect weekend!!! I was surrounded with laughter and love the entire time. That is the best present of a 30th birthday weekend. Those not in attendance were surely there in heart. My Dad, Stepmommy, Tiffany, Chandra, Paige, Ashley & my nieces, Teffy... all even gave me a call since they were far away in distance!!! How wonderful to get to talk to your favorite people on the phone when they are not there!!! Here's a toast to another decade. It was a tremendous weekend. I thank God for each and every blessing.

CMS to CRM integration creates new opportunities to interact with customers! Like when your sales team tweaks a CRM contact record to deliver a personalized experience during the contact's next website visit. Integration lets you share key information across your business so data is not isolated in disparate databases.
The S4S connector integrates Sitecore CMS with Salesforce allowing the seamless exchange of information. With real-time bi-directional communication, almost any object in either system can be made visible to the other. For example, Salesforce documents can be made accessible on the website to selected users. Even website login credentials can be stored and controlled in Salesforce contact records. Among its many uses, S4S lets organizations collect leads from web forms and push the form data, along with Sitecore Experience Analytics, to Salesforce allowing fast and easy qualification.
Discover new ways to work with customers without leaving Salesforce. For example, control how the company website looks and behaves from inside Salesforce as follows:
S4S helps in other ways (see use cases). Consider mass emailing:
S4S includes the M4S module that instantiates selected Salesforce objects to a local MongoDB instance. This allows you to access CRM data even if Salesforce is offline. M4S helps reduce the number of API calls to Salesforce and improves access performance.
S4S supports pushing data to Salesforce® with Sitecore's Web Forms for Marketers (WFFM) forms and custom web forms. Using WFFM with the S4S Mapping Wizard is the easiest way to create Salesforce records from web forms. Sitecore users first create a WFFM form then use the S4S Mapping Wizard to map the form fields to the matching fields of any Salesforce object. When a visitor completes the web form the captured data is pushed to the mapped Salesforce object, along with any attachments if they are required.
If the mapped object is a Salesforce lead or contact, Sitecore analytics, and personalization data can also be pushed, with the form data, so a complete picture of visitor behavior is visible and reportable in Salesforce (see the following section. This greatly helps preparation and increases sales confidence when making the introductory call. Even better, operators can edit the data in Salesforce so the returning visitor will be given the required unique experience when they next visit the website.
The S4S Mapping Wizard also has an option to automatically add new leads and contacts to an existing Salesforce campaign. This makes it very easy to create targeted marketing lists if your site has multiple capture forms. The adjacent image shows how a Sitecore WFFM is mapped to a Salesforce contact record.
S4S Mapping Wizard for Sitecore 8.2
You can also use the S4S mapping wizard to create a WFFM form that requests a username and password from the visitor. The credentials are saved to Salesforce and can, using the S4S Security Connector, enable the visitor to log into the website using the username and password. In this situation, Salesforce is the single source of truth and the credentials are never saved in Sitecore.
For more information please download the S4S brochure.
Sitecore 8.2 Analytics in Salesforce
Sitecore takes personalized browsing or "experience" to new levels by capturing the browsing data in its xDB database then profiling the information to determine the likely characteristics of each visitor. The web content is then automatically adjusted to match the ever-changing profile.
S4S makes this wealth of stored information available in Salesforce lead and contact records. Armed with this data the sales team get a greater understanding of how visitors are using the website. They can then approach and interact with visitors and customers with far more knowledge than has been possible to date. Because key data is persisted in Salesforce it is easy to identify hot prospects with high levels of engagement.
If a Salesforce operator learns new information about a lead, S4S lets the operator to change the browsing experience of the individual next time they visit the website. Sitecore can be configured to allow one or many pages to be personalized from the Salesforce contact or lead record.

I rocked her in the glider this morning after a hearty struggle to get her down for a nap. Her sweaty little head on my shoulder showed that she put up a good fight, alternating between coy smiles and tense shouts to try to evade this sleep. Sleep she, and really I, needs to make this day go smoothly.
She's almost a year old. A year goes by really just so very quickly. Contrary to the "I cannot believe it's been a year" sentiment I really can believe so. I have been privileged to be able to spend a whole year with her, woven together with this wild little one. Motherhood has brought out my fiercest strengths and my worst weaknesses. It has made my faith stronger and caused me to question so much about this whole life we live. Being Lucille's mom has made me more whole as a huge piece of me left my body. I have never cried so much or laughed so hard as I have this last year.
Lucie has shown me a side of Quinton that I cherish and love deeply. If there is an example of a wonderful father, he is it. From the very first challenges of breastfeeding to navigating daily life with a growing girl he has always been our rock. I love looking back on videos and photos of this year with Lucie and Q. Her lying on his chest is the perfect imagery of what every little girl should have, a strong, loving daddy to take care of her.
As I remember her birth I couldn't help but smile as I listened to the room she came into. There was laughter in the air, tears of joy, gentle coaching, and praise to God for such a beautiful creation. After 43 intense hours, there was still energy buzzing about. Her labor was worth every minute to hear that beautiful little cry.
How sweet it is to reminisce on her growth over the last year. I love you more and more, little one. I hope to grow stronger as your mama as we live this crazy life together.

At least 205,000 children under the age of five years will receive the polio vaccine in a campaign that has begun in Mandera County.
Mandera County Health Executive Ahmed Sheikh Wednesday said the anti-polio campaign being conducted in 11 other counties will help improve disease resistance.
"We have a target and we shall be moving from house to house to ensure every child under five years is vaccinated since enough public awareness has been done," he said.
According to Mr Sheikh, despite Mandera facing challenges including insecurity and the pastoral nature of the lives of residents, the public health team is determined to reach their target.
"We have been failing in the past campaigns because a third of Mandera is insecure, cross-border movement of our people and influx of pastoralists coming in from the neighbouring countries," he said.
He blamed free cross-border movement and poor health infrastructure in Somalia and Ethiopia, which neighbour Mandera, for disease outbreaks in the region.
"These areas lack health interventions and this has always rendered us vulnerable leading to outbreaks in the past," he said.
He cited Chikungunya, cholera and dengue fever outbreaks as diseases "imported" from the neighbouring countries.
"We are challenged by these cross-border issues and as a county we cannot strengthen the fragile health system in Somalia," he said.
He said Mandera is always bearing the burden of the excesses from the two countries.
But despite the challenges, Mandera is prepared to face the challenges, he said, adding that security arrangements have been put in place to reach areas marked insecure for the polio vaccination.
The county health minister said Mandera retained zero resistance to polio due poor past immunization campaigns.
"We can only talk of resistance once we have fully immunized ourselves but since we are still having segments of our people not immunized and the high influx of foreigners, then we have no resistance," he said.
Apart from Mandera, the campaign will also be conducted in 11 other counties, namely Garissa, Isiolo, Kajiado, Kiambu, Kitui, Machakos, Lamu, Meru, Nairobi, Tana River and Wajir.

The Greatest Reward: Cat's Angel Message for July 22, 2017
July's Theme: Life Path – Divine Guidance – Action
Travel can be one of the most rewarding forms of introspection. ~Lawrence Durrell
722: Consider your path as a road trip. It consists of many sights and attractions, some good and some bad. We encounter bumps, potholes and roadblocks mixed in with some truly breathtaking and inspiring scenery. We even find side paths that lead us on a merry chase teaching us valuable lessons along the way. However, in order to grow we need to keep moving forward. This requires focus on our desired destination, even if we're not quite sure how to get there. The key is to stay strong and believe in yourself. Today the Angels are reminding us that life is full of unlimited possibilities and we have unlimited potential. You are an amazing being who is worthy of the best the Universes has to offer!
If you have wandered off on a side path and feel lost Archangel Chamuel can help you find your way and if you need clarification on the truth of where you are the Egyptian goddess Maat is an excellent advisor. Archangel Jeremiel helps us to face the future without fear and Archangel Michael provides protection and direction along the way. Our Sacred Stones include the angel stones (Angelite, Celestite, Apophyllite) and Tangerine Quartz to increase your receptivity to Divine inspiration.
I invite you to share my work as long as no changes are made and to check out my websites:

Conduct disorder is a set of ongoing emotional and behavioral problems that occurs in children and teens. Problems may involve defiant or impulsive behavior, drug use, or criminal activity.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Conduct disorder has been linked to:
Child abuse Drugor alcoholabuse in the parents
Family conflicts
Genetic defects
- Poverty
The diagnosis is more common among boys.
It is hard to know how common the disorder is. This is because many of the qualities for diagnosis, such as "defiance" and "rule breaking," are hard to define. For a diagnosis of conduct disorder, the behavior must be much more extreme than is socially acceptable.
Conduct disorder is often linked to
Children with conduct disorder tend to be impulsive, hard to control, and not concerned about the feelings of other people.
Symptoms may include:
- Breaking rules without clear reason
- Cruel or aggressive behavior toward people or animals (for example: bullying, fighting, using dangerous weapons, forcing sexual activity, and stealing)
- Not going to school (truancy — beginning before age 13)
- Heavy drinking and/or heavy drug abuse
- Intentionally setting fires
- Lying to get a favor or avoid things they have to do
- Running away
- Vandalizing or destroying property
These children often make no effort to hide their aggressive behaviors. They may have a hard time making real friends.
Signs and tests
There is no real test for diagnosing conduct disorder. The diagnosis is made when a child or adolescent has a history of conduct disorder behaviors.
A physical examination and blood tests can help rule out medical conditions that are similar to conduct disorder. In rare cases, a brain scan helps rule out other disorders.
For treatment to be successful, it must be started early. The child's family also needs to be involved. Parents can learn techniques to help manage their child's problem behavior.
In cases of abuse, the child may need to be removed from the family and placed in a less chaotic home. Treatment with medicines or talk therapy may be used for depression and attention-deficit disorder.
Many "behavioral modification" schools, "wilderness programs," and "boot camps" are sold to parents as solutions for conduct disorder. There is no research to support these programs. Research does suggest that treating children at home, along with their families, is more effective.
Expectations (prognosis)
Children who are diagnosed and treated early usually overcome their behavioral problems.
Children who have severe or frequent symptoms and who are not able to complete treatment tend to have the poorest outlook.
Children with conduct disorder may go on to develop personality disorders as adults, particularly
Depression and bipolar disorder may develop in the teen years and early adulthood. Suicide and violence toward others are also possible complications.
Calling your health care provider
See a health care provider if your child:
Regularly gets in trouble
Has mood swings
Is bullying others or cruel to animals
Is being victimized
- Seems to be overly aggressive
Early treatment may help.
The sooner the treatment for conduct disorder is started, the more likely the child will learn adaptive behaviors and avoid potential complications.

Few watches embody the term 'utility' like a Casio G-Shock. At its core, the G-Shock is a genuine tool watch, armed with a swiss army knife of features. In an age whereby many brands simply present an example of what the tool watch once was, the honesty that G-Shock stands for is particularly refreshing. We are sure that many hikers, paramedics, soldiers and even athletes around the world would stand by our claim that a G-Shock is built to be used.
Enter the MR-G limited edition 'Hammer Tone'. For $6,200; more than the price of a Speedmaster, you can walk home the proud owner of a G-Shock. We implore you to read the sentence above again, for we have never imagined that one day this would happen. Yet, the price of the quartz Hammer Tone seems strangely appropriate once one understands what the it stands for.
Although G-Shocks have never been built to be expensive timepieces, the Hammer Tone stands as the exception to the rule. Released to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the high end line of G-Shocks, the MR-G, the Hammer Tone sits comfortably in the space between practicality and beauty. While remaining faithful to its' G-Shock heritage- water resistant, shock resistant, GPS enabled and Tough Solar, the watch derives its novelty, and price, from the tsuiki patterns throughout the watch.
In collaboration with renowned Japanese artisan Bihou Asano, Casio has managed to bring incorporate the signature tsuiki pounded finish to the watch. An ancient Japanese method of decorating armour and weapons, the tsuiki finish on the Hammer Tone is brought out on a special Japanese Oboro-gin (silver-grey) finish that was traditionally used on these weapons, giving the timepiece a distinctive lustre. On the screws and buttons, the watch also features an Akagane (copper) finish, giving it a brilliant finish. Learning from such traditional methods, Casio attempts to pay tribute to its Japanese heritage.
Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide, you can bet that the Hammer Tone would be snapped up quickly by G-Shock aficionados. This is a timepiece to be taken seriously, yet durable enough of being worn on a daily basis. For more information, do check out the official release site by Casio.
Today with Gray International
Speaking of a signature finish, each Advent Aurora Edition achieves its finish through the use of a special heat treatment process by our craftsmen, who individually curate each Aurora to the exact specifications of the customer. More on our official instagram account.

How to Make a Mixed Media Tote Bag
Mixed media art projects don't have to be constrained to your art journal or canvases. Why not create a work of art on your tote bags?
Hi everyone, Kim Dellow here with a mixed media share. I just love playing with paint so when I spied the blank canvas bags in Blitsy, I knew it was time to get out the paints. I've used one of my own canvas totes but there are a few different blank natural Canvas totes to choose from in the shop, so have a look. There are also other colors of totes and bags, and you can always add a bespoke bit of art to these too if the fancy takes you!
Of course there are lots of different paints in Blitsy – I've used Liquitex Basics acrylics to add color to my bag – but there is nothing stopping you from using some of the other wonderful paints available.
Time to play and make some tote art!
Here Is What You Will Need:
Canvas Tote Bag 14"X4"X16"-Natural
Liquitex Basics Acrylic Paint 75ml 5/Pkg-Assorted Colors
Liquitex Acrylic Gesso Surface Prep - White, 4oz
Golden - Acrylic Gels - Regular Gel - Gloss 8oz
Derwent Graphik Line Marker - black
Old book pages
Plastic sheet or bag
Let's Make Some Tote Art!
Cut a piece of cardboard to fit perfectly inside the tote and cover the cardboard with a plastic sheet or bag. Then slip the plastic-covered cardboard inside the tote bag to be painted. Now cover an area of the bag front with some gesso and let it dry.
Tear some old book pages into strips and stick three to the bottom left-hand corner and two to the top right-hand corner of your gesso-covered front with the Golden Regular Gel and let it dry. Then add some color, anyway you want! So I've mixed the Liquitex Basics with water and allowed the color to drip down the gesso front. Or I've covered the areas where I don't want color to fall and flicked the paint on with a brush.
Just keep on adding color, feel free to make a good old mess (I mean, express yourself artistically) as you will be covering most of it up anyway! Use your brush, or a sponge or even your fingers to add more color! Then let it dry.
Once the paint is dry you can draw in your design using a pencil. I went for something simple like some stylized feathers, but the design can be anything you like.
Mix together some of the blue and white Liquitex Basics paints with a little bit of the gesso and start going around the border of your pencil drawing, filling in the background with your paint and gesso mix. Let it dry.
To add the finishing touches to your bag, go over the pencil sketch with the black Graphik Line Marker. Then cover any areas where you don't want paint and flick the pen over the bag. Finish with a written sentiment around one of the designs.
Hope you enjoyed this tote-aly painty tutorial (did you see what I did there?) and don't forget to link up any totes you paint over on the secret Blitsy Addicts Facebook page!
Thanks for popping in!

Obsolete Semiconductor Manufacturing Services
Aerospace Semiconductor, Inc.'s customers have needs with regard to obsolete semiconductor parts that fall into several categories:
- Often they are legacy parts that are no longer available.
- Sometimes a part is needed that is similar to a legacy component, but with minor changes.
- Or, perhaps, a part is currently available but the customer's needs would be better served with a minor modification.
The Aerospace Semiconductor Solution
For customers that require a technical solution to their obsolescence problem, at Aerospace Semiconductor we can design a cost-effective solution to create a pin to pin compatible replacement, guaranteed to meet the form, fit and functional specifications of the original part. Sometimes this can be achieved by acquiring new original raw die from the original manufacturer and packaging it into the old package that is no longer available (particularly ceramic packages). Or, sometimes a new circuit can be developed from the currently available die, which can be packaged into the old package, or another suitable package as dictated by the technical requirements of the application. And sometimes it is also possible to cost effectively create a new custom die to replicate the old function, depending on the technical requirements of the application.
A special note for our current and potential customers
The "obsolete semiconductor suppliers" business occurs in a highly varied market on a global scale. It is dominated by a large number of brokers that specialize in finding obsolete parts. It is a largely unregulated market with few standards or guidelines. Brokers have been known to purchase from others' old stock, recycle used parts and even counterfeit parts by relabeling to imply extended performance attributes. Unfortunately, these practices occur frequently and can be difficult to detect.
The Aerospace Semiconductor, Inc. Pledge
Aerospace Semiconductor never sells recycled, counterfeited, relabeled or old parts produced by another manufacturer. We only supply custom manufactured parts that solve our customers' obsolescence problems. Our parts always meet or exceed the form, fit and function specifications of the original part in a custom manufactured configuration.
Examples of Obsolete Semiconductor Solutions
Ceramic Packages: As the electronics industry has migrated to smaller and smaller plastic packages, some of the larger, ceramic packages are no longer available. Existing die or similar die can be packaged into the old ceramic packages to create a working replacement.
Operating Voltage: Legacy semiconductors typically function with 5V, or +/-15V power supplies, while newer semiconductors often operate on lower voltages. We can often add or modify circuitry inside the device, to accommodate the higher voltages of older systems.
Pb-bearing terminations: With RoHS standards becoming the norm for most electronic parts, exempt markets such as the defense and aerospace industry find that parts compatible with the Pb-bearing processes are not available. We can resolve the RoHS package issues as part of an overall solution provided.
Operating Temperatures: Need to operate at higher temperatures? We can package die into a higher temperature package, and test/sort across the extended temperature range to offer customized high-temperature solutions.
Proprietary Solutions: Would your project benefit from a proprietary semiconductor, not available to any other competition? We can package several dies into a single package, offering a customized integrated solution with a smaller overall footprint, which cannot easily be copied by competitors.

Boston police officers seized two unlicensed guns in Dorchester in two separate incidents within a half hour early Wednesday morning, police said.
The first arrest occurred during a traffic stop just after 3 a.m. near 9 Washington St,., Boston police said in a statement. Officers discovered a loaded .45 caliber Taurus PT145 Millennium Pro handgun in the suspect's car, police said.
Robert Perez, 20, of Roxbury, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, carrying a loaded firearm, and possession of a large-capacity feeding device.
Around 3:28 a.m., another firearm arrest was made after officers responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 414 Columbia Road, police said. Officers spotted a man fleeing the scene and stopped him. Police said they discovered a .45 caliber Smith & Wesson M&P Shield handgun on his person and placed him under arrest.
Manuel Negron, 23, of Mattapan, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, unlawful possession of ammunition, and carrying a loaded firearm.Laney Ruckstuhl can be reached at email@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @laneyruckstuhl.
