Teenagers are going to have a difficult time in the coming year finding jobs for many reasons. As teens have little to no job experience, they will either be the first to get laid off or never hired. Teens are usually in the bracket of minimum wage earners and employers will have to cut more of that group first.
The service industry is where many teens get their first employment opportunities and that area is being hit just as hard or harder as any other sector. People are cutting back in all areas of their spending and especially so in areas such as eating out and entertainment. With fewer people willing to spend money, restaurants, bowling alleys, movie theaters, and other such service industry businesses are being hit hard. People are choosing and will continue to choose to stay in instead of go out for that evening on the town.
Other areas where teenagers traditionally get jobs are in a similar situation. Babysitting jobs will be fewer and more people will choose to mow their own lawns just because they don't have the money they once did to have the teens in the neighborhood do it. Everybody will be holding back and unfortunately teens are going to find it rough going in the job finding departments.
If there was ever a time to get creative to find ways to make money and find a job it is now. It seems that those who work the hardest to get that job will have the upper hand. No one is going have a job handed to them as the demand for jobs is too high. Teens who are willing to do something extra and/or work a little harder than the next guy will be first in line to get hired. Those that are lazy in nature will be the losers and that may be one of the first life lessons they get.

Cllr Botterill's plea for sympathy was somewhat undermined by the fact that the ideological Tories were brutally slashing nearly £4m more than required by the national cuts (increasing to 15% the 11.3% that Eric Pickles had already sliced from H&F's government grant).
Children - our future - are bearing the brunt, with funding for child protection, Sure Start and children in care heavily reduced on top of the £206 million already taken from H&F's schools building programme. See details here.
Sure Start early learning services have been decimated. Their buildings may be remaining open for now, but under a new "hub and spoke" scheme, funding for ten out of sixteen centres has been drastically reduced by almost 95 per cent to only £19,000.
|Cuts cheerleader Peter Graham
Update (25 February)
We note that Ruthie Walsh of the campaign to save Wendell Park's Children's Centre has blogged (see here): "I was horrified that Cllr Peter Graham felt happy enough at the cuts to Sure Start that he was actually smiling when Cllr Stephen Greenhalgh first mentioned them. Since when has taking facilities away from children been funny? Since when has having a child cry at the thought of losing their Children's Centre garden, and the vegetables they have planted... been funny?! It's funny to have children crying?".
Greg Hands MP, who employs Cllr Graham, must be very proud of his protégé.

Italian architect Stefano Boeri has just announced a new design for vertical forests in China. The city of Nanjing unveiled the 'Nanjing Vertical Forest' this week, a mixed-use development commissioned by the National Investment Group. The project will provide high density housing and office space while contributing to the environment in a positive manner.
Boeri describes the project as "a real vertical forest that will help to regenerate local biodiversity, will provide a 25 tons of CO2 absorption each year and will produce about 60 kilograms of oxygen per day". The two towers will be covered with 600 tall trees and 500 medium-sized trees among a total of 1,110 trees coming from local species. 2,500 cascading plants and shrubs will also trail down the buildings. Boeri has also designed similar projects in Switzerland and Milan.

National heros
National Heroes
St. Maarten is what it is today thanks to the dedication and efforts of some very special people. These hard working men and women are our National Heroes. If you would like to learn more about our National heroes then, come to the museum, see them on the wall and we are more than willing to provide you with further information.
Our wall counts twenty-five heroes. If you think some other persons deserve to be on our wall of National Heroes, please contact us. We are always open for suggestions.
Hurricane Luis
Hurricane Luis
Hurricane Luis hit our island on September the 5th and 6th of 1995.
This exhibit presents you with a display with a collection of newspaper clippings, images and eye accounts of the aftermath of the monster hurricane Luis.
Visitors of the Museum can also request to watch a video about Hurricane Luis.
For more information about hurricanes go to the menu environment and see the hurricane sections
Flora and fauna
Flora and Fauna
St. Maarten has a wide variety of different habitats which determine the flora and fauna of the island. The main ones included here can be divided into marine and dry inland areas. The marine areas are the salt ponds and the
lagoons, mangrove swamps, coral reefs, sea grass beds and sandy shores. In the museum you will be able to view several displays about the above mentioned habitats and what kind of animals and plants live there. For more information go to the menu environment.
Our Museum has several different types of rock formations on display that gives the visitor an insight in the geological history of the island. An example of this is a piece of Point Blanche rock formation. This layered rock is a result of crystallization of lime stone and dates back to about 15 million years.
About two million years ago St. Maarten, Anguilla and St. Barths were one island. This was visible because the sea level was about 36 meters lower than it is today.
In the Museum a 3dimensial map of what was then know as greater St. Maarten can be viewed.
For more information see "ENVIRONMENT."
HMS Proselyte
HMS Proselyte (shipwrecked 1801, Great bay)
H.M.S Proselyte was originally a Dutch war Frigate, named "Jason", was built in Rotterdam in 1770. Through mutiny the ship was handed over to the British Royal Navy in
June 1796. The British altered it from a 36 piece (canon) to a 32 piece (canon) and renamed it H.M.S. "PROSELYTE". The Ship sank in full view of Philipsburg on September 2nd, 1801 when it hit a coral reef. The "PROSELYTE" today lies on her starboard side just beyond the mouth of Great Bay at Philipsburg. The "PROSELYTE Reef" has become a popular dive site.
A model of the ship and many collected artifacts found on the seabed can be viewed in the museum.

A few years back a woman expelled from Utah to California to go along with her dad, for she was a widow with little youngsters, and in the battle to accommodate them by her own particular work, her well being was gone, and she readily turned to the guardian who offered to help her.
Following a couple of months, feeling her quality to a degree restored, she chose to take a few mechanics as guests, as she could along these lines calm her dad of his kind commitment, but be inside his insurance.
At times toward the end of the week there was very little cash left to go ahead with, however her credit at the store adjacent was great, thus she continued, trusting for better times, while still grateful to have the capacity to consume the nourishment she could call her own gaining.
The winter had been bizarrely stormy, the lanes were sparkling with little flows of sloppy water, and the youngsters were kept in-entryways. One Monday morning her son, getting up from his slumber at her side, asked: " Mamma, when will I have a couple of boots? I have needed them so long." The mother's heart throbbed, for she realized that the poor things she tied on his feet each morning were no assurance, however they had once been great shoes however obviously even the best of shoes don't keep going forever.
Yet she replied, consolingly: "You must be great and devout to get those boots, dear. I have sufficiently just cash to begin the week with, yet I want to get them for you soon." " Yes, mamma," he replied, as she kissed him, and afterward climbed from her bunk to go and cook breakfast for the men.
After she passed into the corridor, a little clamor captured her steps. Is it true that he was covering his head to cry with frustration? As she delicately turned back to the entryway partially open, she saw that he had slipped out of quaint little inn bowing next to a seat, and supplicated : " O Lord, my superb Father, I do need a couple of boots; I have needed them so since quite a while ago, red-top boots, and my mom has so minimal expenditure ; won't you please send me a couple ?
So be it." The young man opened his eyes in confidence, admired the roof, all around his seat, first on his knees and after that standing, and a shade of disillusionment crossed his face. In an alternate minute he had chosen. " He stooped down again and close those favored eyes and said his supplication to God over afresh," said his mom, and she dismissed with a heart brimming with agonizing feelings and went quietly to her kitchen. Generally as breakfast was prepared, one of the visitors went into the room and went specifically to her.
" Mrs. Cole, on the off chance that you will acknowledge of them, here is a couple of boots, a New Year's available for your son." She expressed gratitude toward him and opened the paper, and her heart jumped to see a couple of red-topped boots! " Come here, pet," she called, and the little individual obeyed rapidly, giving a cry of pleasure as he saw the blessing. Trembling with bliss, he hurried to draw them on, however they were excessively little ! Gagging with misery and dissatisfaction, he cried, brokenly : " O Lord, when you knew the measure of my feet, why did you send the boots excessively little ? "
Almost as he talked, one more of the visitors came in, and, not appearing to perceive the gathering around the kid, tended to the mother as the first had done. Saying thanks to him additionally, she removed the wrapper, and there was an alternate pair of red-topped boots a size bigger, and in one leg a couple of light red woolen tights. As the little individual reasonably got into them, he lifted up his upbeat face, all grins and tears, saying: " Oh, He recollected those were excessively little and sent these directly after! "

Yup, I have new textbooks. Seriously, I should stop this bad habit of buying Korean textbooks one after another. After getting the TTMIK book, I promised myself I won't buy a new textbook and if I want to, I should finish one first before getting a new one. But I broke that promise and decided to get 이화 한국어. I've only finished reading three books: 연세 한국어, Integrated Korean Beginning 1 and Korean Grammar in Use: Beginning. I still have so many books left unread and they're sitting on my bookshelf, collecting dust. I also have tons of ebooks to read as well. I'm almost done with College Korean and I told myself I must finish it no matter what so I can move on to the next book in the series which is Intermediate College Korean. I'm so excited to read that book. I've been spending way too much time reading my 응답하라 1997 novel that I have forgotten about my textbooks.
Anyway, I bought this book because Shanna recommended it on her blog. She said it's even better than 연세 한국어. So I decided to get a copy. I decided to get the level 2 books. I wanted the level 3 books but they don't have English translation and the entire book is in Korean. I was worried that it might be too advanced for my level so yeah, I settled for level 2. Is it better than 연세 한국어? Yeah. For me, it absolutely is. 연세 한국어보다 이화 한국어는 제 생각에 훨씬 더 좋은 것 같아요. I was disappointed with 연세 한국어 1. I think I expected too much from it. I didn't learn much from it to be quite honest. The book discussed only a few grammar structures and they were the ones that I have already learned from the internet. And to think I paid P2,000+ for it. Crap.
What I love about 이화 한국어 is that you'll learn tons of new words from reading one chapter. You won't just see the usual 가다, 먹다, 살다 and other words that you normally see in other textbooks. There are other words such as 부채춤, 탈춤, 독감, 소독약 just to name a few. The words introduced in the book are really diverse.
I usually skip exercises since I think they're just too boring but 이화 한국어 is an exception. I find myself having fun answering the exercises because it way more interesting than the exercises I've seen on other books. Fill in the blanks? Multiple choice? Come on, that's boring and I find it useless to be quite honest. The exercises on 이화 한국어 are far better. They provide the keywords that you need then you create a sentence using those keywords. For example, in the section where it talked about (으)ㄴ 지, the subject, the verb and the period of time has been provided and all you have to do is make a sentence with the (으)ㄴ 지 structure using the keywords provided.
이름: 나타샤
시기: 5년 전
한 일: 결혼하다
Sentence: 나타샤씨는 결혼한 지 5년이 돼었어요.
Although the grammar explanations are really short, going through the exercises helps me understand the grammar structure even more and shows me how the grammar structure is supposed to be used.
Another thing that I love about these books is that it's smaller and less bulky compared to 연세 한국어, Integrated Korean and Korean Grammar in Use. It's compact and very light. The dimensions of the book is 11 inches x 7.5 inches x 0.4 inch. The colors used are easy on the eyes which is a good thing for me because colors can serve as a distraction for me sometimes.
There are 7 units on 이화 한국어 2-1 and 8 units on 이화 한국어 2-2. Each unit, you will learn about 4-5 new grammar structures. I have included the list of grammar structures below so check it out to see if Level 2 is the right one for you. There are interesting articles written in Korean per unit and they are lengthy compared to the articles I've read on Integrated Korean.
Let's talk about the downsides of this book. I've mentioned earlier that the grammar explanations are too short and sometimes I feel like some explanations are a little bit too vague. You may still need to check other textbooks for further explanations and restrictions that 이화 한국어 failed to mention. This is one of the reason why I don't just stick to one textbook. Another thing that some people might dislike is that the grammar explanations and the English translation of the passages are the only English texts you'll see in the book. The rest is written in Korean. Yes, even the instructions. Not all exercises have answer key too.
I think 이화 한국어 is really good. I'm planning to get the Level 3 books next time.

This summer I have missed bright colours. I feel like the trends have focused on Khaki greens, suede browns, and lots of black and white which are usually the perfect colours for Autumn/Winter. I am usually a HUGE Boho, Aztec or floral print fan (you can probably tell by holiday posts here and here ) so I have started to bring out some of my bright coloured prints for my recent nights out.
I just love the sequin details on the top of the dress and the bottom hem too! The colour compliments anyone with a tan and suits red heads really well. The best thing about this dress is the fitting as although it feels like silk, the sequin embellishment is really heavy, weighing down the dress allowing the dress to flow rather than fit tightly on the body.
I have experienced buying dresses in this material before but hate it when the dress hugs every bump and shows every flaw.
I'd say this is a perfect holiday dress which you can dress up or down. It is from Lipsy and the colour is coral red.
Have you got a favourite summer style? Are you a fan of colours or are you more of a monochrome girl?

Informatica is a Hortonworks Certified Technology Partner. This partnership makes it possible for organizations to use all the data internal and external to an enterprise to achieve the full predictive power that drives the success of modern data-driven businesses.
That is why we're excited to have John Haddad, Senior Director, Informatica to be our guest blogger. In this blog, John explores the benefits of certification on HDP 2.1.
When I was in high school, one of my best friends had a water ski boat we often took out on California lakes (what are friends for?). The key to acceleration and powerful flowing turns is how well you transition from the cutting edge to the turning edge. Similarly, you can easily accelerate your Data Lake strategy with the cutting edge technology of Informatica on Hortonworks 2.1 to turn Big Data into awesomeness.
Last September Informatica and Hortonworks delivered a webinar on the Modern Data Architecture for a Data Lake with Informatica and Hortonworks Data Platform. Since then we've seen tremendous demand for building out a Hadoop-based data lake as a single place to manage the supply and demand of data. The data lake is the cornerstone of a big data strategy providing cost-effective and efficient data storage, access, processing, and provisioning of data for predictive analytics and information-based products and services.
Our vision for the data lake adheres to the following principles:
With Informatica 9.6 running on HDP 2.1, together we have made significant progress in delivering on this vision. Today, customers can use Informatica to ingest all types of data in batch and real-time into HDP 2.1 to build out a data lake. Once the data is in the data lake then Informatica developers can profile, parse, integrate, cleanse, and refine the data in the lake using a visual development environment that makes them up to 5x more productive on Hadoop. Informatica is also providing data analyst self-service capabilities to find and prepare data for analysis. One healthcare customer has built many data marts over the years and is now moving to a data lake model to empower their data science team with a single location to manage the supply and demand of data. Instead of spending 80% of their time accessing and preparing the data they can spend more of their time analyzing the data.
We invite you to learn how to get started with Informatica on HDP 2.1 by visiting our booth #P1 at the Hadoop Summit San Jose and checking out Informatica demos at the Hortonworks Hadoop Cafe in the Pavilion area, June 3 at 1:40 pm. I also encourage you to attend the Informatica sponsored session by Kunal Jain, Big Data Solutions Architect at Informatica and learn about "Dealing with changed data on Hadoop – an old data warehouse problem in a new world" at 11:00 am on Thursday June 5.

I'm sure he's harmless.... no really.
Cleaning out C's car. Pull everything from the trunk to vacuum it out. I pull out:
A chainsaw, two baseball bats (no balls or gloves), duct tape, several pairs of latex gloves, extra large garbage bags and a trench shovel. I told C if the cops ever pull him over they won't even need a body. Now he has a feasible explanation for each of these strange items to find in a trunk. And one or two... okay. But all those combined....
The chainsaw: he maintains the property for his landlords, and the first chainsaw from the garage and it pissed C off he had to buy another. So he figures his trunk is safer. The big, and I mean huge, garbage bags. because the tenants are filthy dirty ass holes who leave their shit outside of the garbage bins and on a regular basis the cats in the neighbourhood rip open the garbage bags. Guess that explains the gloves, although his excuse was in case his car breaks down and he need to fix it, he doesn't want to get grease on his hands. Duct tape... well that is just good Canadian sense at work. And a shovel, well Canadian winters, a trench shovel folds down to trunk size. The baseball bats? Even C was stumped to come up with an explanation.
I just may have to sleep with one eye open.

I am a big user of LOL. But this post is not - like some of your other commenters think - one of them.ReplyDelete
People can have a lot of excuses for a lot of things but there is usually something that trips them up. In this case, it is the baseball bats.
Remember, nobody ever expects it to be somebody close to them. Don't appear afraid to them but definitely keep an eye on this person.

Serial killers do exist, but I'm sure he's not thinking of killing you, just probably other random people....I mean you never know when you might need a baseball bat, they do come in handy when committing acts of vandalism && for defense most of all, you never know when you just might have to beat the hell out of those filthy dirty asshole tenants of yours...just sayingReplyDelete
I assure you he IS totally harmless. I simply found the collection funny:DReplyDelete

Of equal praise is BurJuman's magnificent Saks Fifth Avenue department store which houses renowned designer names such as Prada, Miu Miu, Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs as well as accessories and cosmetics. "For the ultimate in personalized shopping, we offer the Fifth Avenue Club – a truly unique and complimentary shopping experience, where our customers can relax in a private and luxurious space while they shop at leisure," explains Carla Daaboul, Marketing Manager for Saks Fifth Avenue in BurJuman. The service is tailor-made for those of you whose schedules don't allow the time for hours of shopping one end; schedule an appointment to shop in a private suite before or after store hours. A trip to BurJuman is at once personal and rejuvenating; customers can peruse the elegant array of shops without feeling hassled by an impending crowd – an experience typical of an intimate boutique store.
The mall is also known for hosting world-class events such as the prestigious Da Vinci Exhibition, 100 years of Vogue as well as fashion galas, celebrity meet and greets, international family shows, festive celebrations and unique markets. "All of these events add to the fun factor for visitors to the mall," says Khandwari. "BurJuman constantly looks to enhance the shopping experience with exclusive in-mall entertainment shows and exhibitions."
The mall recently announced major renovations commencing in the North Wing this spring. The reconstruction aims to extend as well as architecturally unify the mall's physical space while also enhancing the shopping and entertainment experience. A major grocery store and multiplex cinema are in the works as well as the addition of new luxury fashion to BurJuman's prestigious retail portfolio. A world of privilege and sophisticated leisure – BurJuman is Dubai's shopping gemstone.

Played with Bob Dylan, The Indigo Girls, Steve Earl, Gillian Welch, Sam Bush, Shawn Mullins, Ani DiFranco and more!
Some artists have great vision, some great voices, and some a great story. Danielle Howle's remarkable musical gift embodies all three. Her phrasing and vocals are unique: one word and you know you're listening to THE Danielle Howle. Stylistically, she has run the gamut: jazz, punk, rock, soul, jam, folk, country; and her spirit embraces the truest sense of what we have come to know as Americana. Her voice is a stunning instrument which, intentionally or not, tugs at your heart strings – making you want to laugh, cry, and cut a rug all at the same time.
Danielle's extensive catalog has been released independently and on several household names of the American independent label scene: Kill Rock Stars, Daemon Records, Sub Pop and Simple Machines, to name a few.
Her latest release, Swamp Sessions, was recorded deep in the Francis Marion National Forest in a solar powered swamp house on a piece of high ground next to the Echaw Creek. Swamp Sessions is the first solar powered recording in South Carolina, and the first album recorded at Echaw Creek. The presence of the swamp pervades these recordings, and gives them a texture and grittiness that is free from the shackles of modern, over-produced and over-sanitized music.
During her tenure as a musician, she has backed, and been backed up by, musicians whose presence is clear when walking through the Rock and Country Music Halls of Fame. Where is our Americana Hall of Fame? Danielle would surely be one of the first initiates. Bob Dylan, The Indigo Girls, Steve Earl, Gillian Welch, Sam Bush, Peter Holsapple, Shawn Mullins, Ani DiFranco, Sara Lee Guthrie/Johnny Irion, Darius Rucker/Hootie and the Blowfish, and Edwin McCain are just a few of the musicians with whom she's played. They'd probably all tell you she taught them a lesson or two….this is why the New York Times calls her "an extraordinary mind, a southern storyteller with a gorgeous sense of melody that should be pouring out of stereos everywhere. She is one to be treasured."
Danielle has become a musical troubadour and is the toast of folk communities all over the United States. Her creativity has helped to inspire other artists in cultivating and refining their own styles. Ani Difranco offers, "She is an effortlessly powerful singer and a melodically nimble being."
While an extensive tour schedule keeps Danielle on the road most of the year, she also works as artist-in-residence at Awendaw Green, www.awendawgreen.com. Awendaw Green's founder and owner of the Echaw Creek Swamp house, Eddie White, says "The house resonates nicely and creaks at the right moments to produce beautiful noise. With Danielle in charge it was truly beautiful."

British Columbia's Educational Resource Acquisition Consortium has released a whitepaper with valuable information for librarians and educators interested in learning how to best incorporate digital materials into their collections and curriculum.
Over the last few years there has been a growing segment of students and educators who have been exploring the use of E-Books and asking for them to be included within their School District Library systems.
Students are eager to read new materials using new technologies, utilizing features never available before. Many consumers are already buying E-Reader devices to use personally, and want these devices to also interface with their school library collections. Publishers are slowly releasing their books and resources into this digital landscape, offering readers the chance to consume E-Books in a format of their choosing, on a device of their own. Teacher-Librarians are being asked more and more about their E-Book offerings and are looking for advice on implementation, best-practices, recommended vendors and suggested usage.
When looking at offering new digital resources to your students, staff and patrons, it is important to move forward in a sustainable, manageable and valuable direction. Many of your patrons already have their own devices with which to read E-Books. Utilizing this as a first step is an easier way to start providing this digital content. As you provide more digital content, and can see which devices and services are working best and are most popular, this feedback can best guide the future steps of perhaps integrating E-Readers to lend to patrons and students that do not have their own devices.
Encouraging students and patrons to explore the "browser based" access to try and test out resources first, before committing to supporting E-Books on specific E-Readers, is an efficient way to move forward with very little risk. Districts should 'test the waters' to gauge how much demand is out there, by asking which devices interested patrons have, and which type of content is most desired. Teachers and Teacher-Librarians will be interested in both non-fiction and fiction, while most patrons and consumers will be primarily interested in fiction E-Books.
When you are ready to tackle this complex issue, make sure you know the language:
[list type=bullets-purple]
- Adobe DRM — A special form of Digital Rights Management, used by ePub files to handle security of the E- Book, from check-out and download to the end of the lending period, and subsequent 'return' of the E-Book
- Android — An operating system for smartphones, tablets and other special forms of computers that can install applications that perform various functions, such as an E-Reader.
- Amazon — An online web store that sells E-Books and E-Readers, such as the Kindle, and produced its own E-Book format, .AZW, and does not support the industry standard format ePub.
- Amazon Kindle — One of the specific E-Readers that Amazon web store manufactures and distributes.
- Apple — A technology company that produces tablet computers called the iPad2 that can run and install applications like E-Reader software
- Browser Based — Browser based access means that in order to view and read the digital resource, or E-Book, you need to be using a computer/laptop/tablet, or smartphone with a built in Internet Browser. None of the limited, low-end E-Reader devices support this type of consumption.
- Digital libraries — Digital Libraries are collections of resources, both fiction and non-fiction that are stored and distributed elsewhere and available to your patrons using their library credentials 24/7
- Distribution — Distribution is the process within which digital resources are stored, managed, protected and distributed to your patrons by a 3rd party.
- DRM — DRM stands for Digital Rights Management and is a set of security protocols that protect the digital artefact from being copied or unlocked for unlimited consumption.
- E-Books — E-Books are digital versions of traditional books that may take many different formats, and can be opened and read on many different devices, from simple E-Readers to full computers.
- E-Readers — E-Readers are specialized devices that can open and display E-Books that are small, lightweight and have exceptional battery life.
- ePub — ePub is the specialized file format that the majority of E-Books are published in, and is widely considered the industry standard for E-Books.
- Follet Shelf — Follet Shelf is a digital E-Book distribution system offered to school libraries who want to offer their patrons access to their digital collections of E-Books.
- iPad 2 — iPad 2 is a full tablet computer, manufactured by Apple Computers that can download and install specific applications that allow the user to view and read E-Books, both in E-Book format, or through browser based access.
- iPhone — iPhone is a smartphone, manufactured by Apple Computers that can download and install specific applications that allow the user to view and read E-Books, both in E-Book format, or through browser based access.
- Kobo — Kobo is another manufacture of E-Reader devices, from low-end to newer, multi-function E- Reader tablets. Kobo is also open and supports all industry standard E-Book formats.
- MOBI — Mobi is a version of the Open E-Book standard and can support many advanced features and digital content as an E-Book.
- MP3 — MP3 is a digital format that encodes music to a smaller and more portable format for use on digital devices.
- PDF — PDF stands for Portable Document Format and can be used to create personal E-Books that can be read on all major E-Readers and E-Reading applications
- Publishers — Publishers are the companies that contract authors to produce books which are edited, marketed, published, distributed and supported through many different channels, both digital and analog.
- Overdrive — Overdrive is a US based company that connects publishers and their digital content with Libraries, taking care of the storage, DRM, distribution and management of E-Book collections.
- Smartphone — A Smartphone is a new format of cellular phone that is similar to a portable computer, in that the user can install specific applications to perform various tasks, such as reading an E-Book, or exploring a digital resource through a built in internet browser.
- Tablet — A tablet is a slim, lightweight format for a computer, condensing the screen, tower, keyboard and mouse all into one slender format that is portable and capable of performing many computer based tasks, like reading an E-Book or exploring digital content through the built in internet browser.
- Vox — The Kobo Vox is a mid-range E-Reader from Kobo that has more functionality and multimedia capability that a low-end E-Reader, but not as powerful as a full tablet.

We all knew it was coming, and now we have a bit of the details -- and they aren't as bad as anyone thought. As you can see above, Verizon will still be offering unlimited data to 3G smartphone customers, and they have added in a very light version that should appeal to the people who aren't using a ton of data each month -- you know, the normal people. What's not quite as appealing is the 3G Tablet plan breakdown, but with no word from other carriers that could be as good or better than anything the other carriers are offering. The short version for what we're told will start Oct. 28:
3G smartphone plans
- $15 per month for 150 MB
- $15 for each 150 MB of overage
- $29.99 unlimited data
3G Tablet plans
- $20 for 1 GB (with $20 per GB overage)
- $35 for 3 GB (with $10 per GB overage)
- $50 for 5 GB (with $10 per GB overage)
- $80 for 10 GB (with $10 per GB overage)
What say you? Better or worse than expected? Sound off in our Verizon forum! Thanks, anonymous tipster!

Twitter changes tweet format but keeps 140-character limit
Twitter said the change, part of its efforts to simplify its microblogging service, will come into effect in the next few months.
"A few simple changes to make conversations on Twitter easier! And no more removing characters for images or videos!," Chief Executive Jack Dorsey said in a 115-character tweet. (bit.ly/1s78BmY)
The length of tweets were originally designed to include a user's name and still fit within the 160-character SMS messaging format used for mobile phones.
Dorsey has said the company, which has been facing stagnating user growth, will simplify its product in an effort to attract new users.
Links currently take up to 23 characters of a tweet, limiting the amount of commentary that users can offer when sharing articles or other content.
Twitter's shares touched a record low at $13.72 on Tuesday after brokerage MoffetNathanson downgraded the company's stock to "sell" from "neutral".

text: After a 10-year process, the World Health Organization (WHO) and its Member States have finally agreed on concrete steps to move towards needs-driven innovation. At the 66th World Health Assembly (WHA) in Geneva in May 2013, Member States adopted a much debated resolution on the follow-up of the report of the Consultative Expert Working Group on Research and Development (CEWG). This resolution was approved with an extra decision point unexpectedly introduced by the United States (US), which proposes a process for rapidly identifying research and development (R&D) demonstration projects. It recognises de-linking the price of the product from the cost of research, as well as open knowledge innovation, as guiding principles. This is promising because it will ensure that needs-driven innovation and affordable access to health products and knowledge sharing will be part of the design of these R&D initiatives. However, talks on a global framework for R&D should not be postponed any further.

Las Muchas talks about fragility. Fragility related to age, bodies that no longer belong to the social corpus, which are no longer in the official market, but are actually more alive and free than ever: bodies that breathe, weigh, dance, seduce, move and have a different way of positioning themselves.
Listening and letting yourself go through the experiences: physical, emotional, accidental, political, concealment and commitment. A process built by dint of cracks and brittleness, of listening and openness. A "letting yourself rain, letting yourself go" of the body as a whole that generates unexpected and rich landscapes.

School and our district in a multitude of positive ways and actions each and every day!
Please note New Early Release Day Thursday, May 28, 2015 to make up for the
weather-related, late start we had, which cancelled an Early Release Day in February.
Dance expectations – For guests are what? Some questions have come up about our school's
expectations on guests for dances. They are available in the student handbook, which you can
find on our school's web page and are very clear. They in fact are for the most part what every
high school around us also expects, a signed permission slip from the school of the guest or else
they are not allowed to attend. Please take a look at our handbook for all details. Thanks!
Special note from our district's Director of Technology:
In the past two weeks, we have heard from students at the high school that the screws on the back
of the iPad cases are coming loose and dropping out. We have not heard of any cases where this
is happening at the middle school, but it appears to be a problem at MHS. When a case is not
intact, such as when it is broken or a screw is out or loose, all warranties from RugEd for
breakage are null and void.
If you notice that a case is not intact, including loose and missing screws, please take it to the
Technology Office ASAP! We will either repair or replace the case at no cost. Please realize that
if the case is in a state that nullifies the warranty and the iPad is broken, the cost of the repair will
belong to the family. Your immediate attention to this is appreciated.
Seniors do you still need to apply to YCCC – If so they are conducting on-the-spot admissions
interviews at MHS on Friday, April 10th. Space is limited, so sign up today and get the
application fee waived.
Very Important Project Graduation Committee – Meetings are coming up the next few weeks.
This volunteer group is always looking for parents & guardians to participate and support the next
class! If interested I ask that you come to a meeting to lend a hand to these fine people! Thanks!
We are fast approaching the time when SATs – Will be given to our Junior Class, free of cost
during the school day on Wednesday April 15th. Many of you, because you registered to review
your PSAT results, are now getting notices from College Board (SAT organization) about
upcoming SAT testing dates. Please ignore those notices for now. This is different than in
previous years when SATs were given on the first Saturday of May. Students will register for it
here at school well before the exam date. We will also be sharing SAT preparation information
soon. However, students have been informed that they can take the code found on their PSAT
results and go to www.collegeboard.org website to start preparing for the SATs. Once registered,
students will be given links to online preparation materials provided by College Board.
MHS is providing the opportunity for you to prepare for the SAT – Through a 2 day, 5-hour
ZAPs SAT preparation program being held at Massabesic East on March 25-26th. Please contact
guidance for program specifics and contact info. This program does cost $89.99.
The Sanford Regional Technical Center (SRTC) – Provides career and technical education
opportunities to students from Massabesic High School. 10th grade students met with SRTC
representatives at MHS in January to discuss program opportunities, to identify programs of
interest and to learn about an opportunity for an onsite visit. SRTC accepted online applications
for specific programs through March 13th. If you didn't get an application in, and want to, please
see your guidance counselor ASAP for a last-minute opportunity!
AP Exam fees – Are now due for any student wanting to take an AP Exam in May. Payment
deadline is tomorrow Wednesday, March 18th.
Thanks to all Juniors and their families – Who attended the "Getting There from Here"

planning process. Whether or not you could attend, you will find the materials and presentations
for the evening at the following website: http://bit.ly/1BAIdDe

After shooting 4 of 13 from the field in Tuesday's 12-point loss at North Carolina, Maryland guard Seth Allen watched film of the game with assistant coach Scott Spinelli Friday before practice.
"At the North Carolina game, I was trying to get to the basket every time," Allen said Saturday after Maryland's 83-71 victory over Florida State. "He told me to work on my mid-range game."
After practice Friday, Allen stayed around practicing his mid-range jump shots from spots around the arc, just inside the 3-point line. He said he made 23 of 25 before leaving the floor.
He also had to make the requisite layup, free throw and 3-pointer that is part of his ritual. The hot shooting continued – and the range expanded – in Allen's career-high 32-point performance against the Seminoles.
To say that Allen was in a zone might be understating things a bit. He even hit one mid-range jumper when he had gone up to pass and also got fouled taking the only ill-advised 3-pointer among the 11 he tried.
"I was just making shots tonight," Allen said. "My teammates got me open in transition and I was just making 3-pointers. It felt really good, the win felt even better."
Sophomore forward Jake Layman, who has had a couple of shooting performances similar to Allen's in his first two seasons, watched in admiration as Allen pulled up and buried one jumper after another.
"For the most part, he got a lot of his shots in our offense," said Layman, who hit a couple of big 3-pointers himself late in the first half. "He was unbelievable."
Mark Turgeon has been on Allen to not settle for jump shots. For one afternoon, Turgeon didn't seem to mind, though Allen mixed things up with drives to the basket and also got the ball out to his wing shooters.
"He played smarter," Turgeon said. "He took one bad shot in the first half, and they called a foul. He got bailed out on that. It was kind of our day. Sometimes, it's just your day.
"He got to the rim. We talked about getting to the rim in transition. I didn't know if we could get to the rim in the halfcourt. And late, when they converged, he made some really good passes."

Kocay, William "The Hopcroft-Tarjan Planarity Algorithm"
A readably clear explanation with pseudo-code.
A nearly-literate program.
Another nearly-literate program is
Agrawal, M., Kayal, N. and Saxena, N "PRIMES is in P"
which contains not only the theory but also pseudo-code, a time-complexity
analysis, loop termination proofs, and loop-invariant statements.
A near-perfect literate program. I have permission to make it into a
literate Axiom program and use it as a canonical example.
Both are beautiful pieces of work that tackle reasonably hard theory
yet get very close to practice. Unfortunately the very last step,
providing code, still needs to be done.
