Samsung has outed a couple of Tizen-powered phones until now: the modestly-specced Z1 and a comparatively more powerful (although still entry-level) Z3. While the former was launched back in January last year, the latter arrived in October. Now, there are reports that a successor to the Z1 is in the works.
Samsung Z1
The Z1(2016) is said to carry a model number of SM-Z150, and feature an AMOLED display like the Z3. Aside from this, nothing else is currently known about the handset, including when it's going to be available and what price tag it will carry.
The report comes just a few weeks after an SM-Z510 - which is alleged to be the Samsung Z5 - was spotted listed on Zauba. Assuming that the Z1(2016) and the alleged Z5 are different phones, the latter could well be the successor to the Samsung Z3.
I really like the look of the phone, it looks rugged and chunky. If the next (or a future) version of the Tizen Z series were to have a compass (magnetometer) installed, I would seriously consider this phone.
(Sorry removable battery)
'removable screen' ?. Not sure how useful that would be, but it would definitely be one of the first Tizen phones to be able to do this. Probably a first on any system.

We moved out of Merrimack a couple weeks ago - after about 8 years of living on Spruce St.
The move was mostly due to our desire for a bigger house, but partially because the town decided to put a Mall up around the corner from where we were trying to raise our kids. I guess thanks are in order to Chelsea, the Planning Board, and 55% of the town for getting us to get our act in gear and pull up the roots. It was a painful and expensive process.
To those who said I shouldn't have bought a house next to a undeveloped piece of land: Before making an offer on the house I looked at the zoning map and saw it - and called town hall and talked to the town manager about it and was assured it was zoned industrial. I have no problem living next to everything that is allowed in the industrial zone, because they use their property during the times I am not using mine - and their great big parking lots are a ton of fun to bike and launch model rockets from.
I already miss my neighbors - we had become friends.
Good luck Merrimack.

Adventuring Party (Level 4)
Nuriel: Deva Invoker of Bahamut
Galanthal: Elven Ranger/Cleric of Pelor
Amarth: Human Paladin/Fey-Pact Warlock
Sten: Gnome Bard
Gertrude: Goliath Battlemind
Mike Surekill: Mul Knight
- Having dispatched the last of the their enemies at the excavation site, the adventures turn to the task of extracting Douven Stahl from the pile of debris.
- Gertrude discovers that the reason they could not pull Douven out during the battle was that he is chained to an iron spike driven into the ground. She quickly frees him.
- The companions revive the scholar. He greets them with joy—especially Sten, whom he has not seen for a while.
- They question the older man about his captors. Douven explains that the individuals he encountered at Wrafton's told him they had found the tomb of the Drax Arcanus. This turned out to be untrue.
- The "tomb" is actually a decoy. The "dragon bones" buried in the tomb are really the bones of ordinary farm animals such as horses and cows.
- Something else, however, was buried with the false dragon bones—a golden skull. Douven indicates that this is what his captors were after.
- Nuriel shows Douven the "Ritualia Draconis Chryonica." His mentor becomes highly excited and asks Sten for some paper. He begins pouring through the book, making notes.
- Douven is so focused on the book that Gertrude has to strap him to her back so the party can travel. The scholar seems more-or-less oblivious to this state of affairs, and continues reading and making notes.
- The adventures head back in the direction of Winterhaven.
- As they are making their way through the wooded hills, a red cardinal appears and circles the group, then circles Amarth's head, before settling on Amarth's shoulder. It chatters at them, then takes off, flies to a branch at the side of the trail, and looks back expectantly.
- The other members of the party ask Amarth if he recognizes the bird. He tells them it shows up from time-to-time.
- The group chooses to ignore the cardinal and continue toward Winterhaven.
- The bird returns, flies around the group chattering in an animated fashion, and then heads back in the same direction as before.
- The companions stay the course towards the village.
- The cardinal comes back again, this time chattering angrily, and flies off once more in the previous direction.
- Finally, the adventurers stop and discuss following the cardinal. Sten remembers folk tales of a cardinal serving as the herald of Old Man Winter—a personage who can be harsh and unyielding, but is not outright evil. The group eventually agrees to pursue the bird into the woods.
- They make their way in the direction the cardinal flew. Soon they see it ahead of them. It leads them some distance from their previous path before they see a red fox watching them from the edge of a clearing. The fox seems to have a mysterious gleam in its eye. It turns and slips into the forest.
- The party chooses to follow the fox. The cardinal falls back and flies with them as they pursue the elusive creature, which seems to stay just out of reach ahead of them through the trees.
- Eventually the fox leads them to a large boulder sitting at the top of a hill. It turns to look at the group, then slips through a wide crack in the boulder and over the edge of the hill.
- The party follows through the crack. They find a game trail on the other side, leading down and around the wooded hill. Ahead of them, the fox is looking back from a bend in the trail. Then it turns and slips around the corner.
- The companions pursue the fox. It always seems to stay one step ahead of them, stealing away as they approach.
- At the bottom of the hill the trail opens into a clearing containing an old woodpile and a dilapidated cabin. Vines with bright orange flowers grow atop the pile of rotting logs. The red fox sits amongst the fiery blossoms. The adventures are certain it is grinning at them.
- The fox leaps lightly off the pile and slips past the partially open door of the ramshackle hut. * Gertrude approaches the shack. Before she can reach it, a gnome with unkempt, bright red hair clambers onto the roof—as if he has just ascended from inside or behind the cabin.
- The gnome sits down on the edge of the roof, legs swinging freely in the air. He looks at the group with a mischievous gleam in his eye. He tells them they appear to be lost, and that he takes a great interest in lost things.
- The adventures converse with this strange creature. He readily admits that he comes from the Feywild. He seems to know a great deal about the companions—even claiming to have once dated Sten's grandmother.
- He also seems to have a very flexible concept of time, paying little heed to how long things take and sometimes mixing references to past and future.
- Gertrude asks if he is a god. This seems to entertain him quite a bit.
- Sten recognizes their new acquaintance from legends as the Trinket Lord, an archfey who is the patron of lost items.
- The gnome claims his name is Tuxil. He tells the companions that he has been asked to track them down by an "associate" who finds the colder months more congenial than the Spring weather they are currently enjoying.
- Tuxil goes on to explain that the adventurers are oblivious to what is really going on around them. He talks to them of the Dawn War, when the deities battled the primordials—some of whom became what the characters know as demons.
- While the gods will fight against one another, some on the side of good and some on the side of evil, all banded together to face the threat of the primordials.
- To this day one of the greatest fears of the gods is a demon usurping divine power.
- The demon Prince of Undeath (of whom some of the adventures have already heard) wishes to usurp the power of the Raven Queen, the patron of death. Deities of all stripes would join forces to keep this from happening.
- The Raven Queen is also the patron of Winter, so Tuxil's "associate" has a vested interest in the situation.
- Tuxil agreed to find the companions once his "associate" told him that the followers of the demon prince were collecting the legendary Golden Skulls. He tells the group that there are four Golden Skulls, each containing a demon who was once a powerful servant of the Prince of Undeath. These four servants became too strong and threatened to overthrow the prince, so he imprisoned their essences within the skulls. Each demon held power in a separate sphere—war, famine, pestilence and death.
- Tuxil is an avid collector of lost treasures. He has many precious items in his home. If the adventurers will agree to retrieve the Golden Skulls and deliver them to Tuxil, he will bargin with them for other items from his collection in trade.
- The party asks the gnome if the Skulls will be safe in his care. He replies that they will be far safer with him than if they were to keep them. He is used to dealing with such artifacts.
- Amarth asks Tuxil if this is an "official request." Tuxil explains that should the demon prince succeed in displacing the Raven Queen, "other interested parties" could usurp the dominion of Winter. His "associate" would like to keep that from happening.
- The group agrees to retrieve the Golden Skulls. Tuxil does a backwards somersault off the rear of the hut and disappears. A few seconds later, they see the fox bounding through the woods up the side of the hill behind the shack. At the peak of the hill the fox turns, sits, looks at them with a grin, slips over the top, and vanishes.
- The adventures resume their trek towards Winterhaven.
- Night falls as they travel. Suddenly, a voice hails them through the darkness and trees ahead. A short man in armor, with a battle axe slung across his back, advances into their circle of torchlight. He greets them and introduces himself as Mike Surekill, a knight of Therund and a companion of Prince Etheran. The prince has sent him to find the companions.
- The adventurers greet Mike in return, and they all agree to continue back to the village.
- As they move through the forest, Galanthal senses something pacing them off to one side through the trees. He's not certain what it is, but gets the feeling it is some sort of beast. He tells his companions about it, but does not pursue the creature—whatever it is.
- As they reach the outskirts of the village, their mysterious shadow does not follow.
- The party retires to the common room at Wrafton's to eat, drink and discuss their next move.
- They notice a short individual in a leather trench coat sitting next to the fire smoking a pipe, watching them from under the wide brim of his hat.
- The adventurers ask their server about this person and learn that he is a halfling named Nim. He is an eccentric resident of Winterhaven who lives in the old windmill on the hill.
- They eventually maneuver themselves into a introduction to Nim. As he approaches their table, they can see that his hat covers a head of disheveled white hair.
- Nim tells the group that his master is concerned about recent events in and around Winterhaven. He has learned of their mission for Lord Padraig, and Nim wants to assist in their investigation.
- The halfling reveals that the strange happenings are centered on the old keep near the village. He proclaims that the companions will need help if they are to tackle the keep.
- Nim claims to know of an "item" that will greatly aid the adventurers if and when they assault the keep—but he needs assistance in securing it.
- Mike Surekill asks who is Nim's master. The halfling says he simply refers to him as "the Master."
- The knight then inquires how the party can know that Nim's master won't use the item the halfling seeks against the people of Winterhaven once it is recovered and the immediate threat eliminated.
- Nim says that the Master holds his own counsel, and the halfling cannot speak for him.
- Sten has heard rumors of the owner of the old windmill. He knows that Lord Padraig consults with him at times, although whoever he is, he tends to be fairly stand-offish.
- The companions consult amongst themselves and finally agree to assist Nim in recovering the item in question. He tells them to meet him at breakfast the next morning.
- The adventurers turn in for the night. The next day they get up and head downstairs to eat and to rendezvous with Nim.
- The halfling joins them as they are finishing breakfast. When it is clear the group is ready to leave, he leads them out of Wrafton's and through the gates of Winterhaven to the cemetery.
- He strides straight into the large mausoleum and deftly manipulates the diagram embedded in the far wall, opening the door to the Hall of the Raven Queen.
- Within the chamber, Nim explains that the dormant warforged standing on the other side of the room can be awakened by a challenge of single combat. If the warforged loses, he will serve the victor in a single quest, so long as it does not conflict with the tenants of the Raven Queen. If the warforged wins, the loser agrees to serve Raven Queen.
- Amarth, Gertrude and Mike Surekill debate who is the best choice to challenge the Champion. Mike decides to represent the party in the ritual battle.
- Nim crosses the chamber, stands before the unmoving construct, and announces that one has come to challenge the Champion of the Raven Queen.
- The warforged moves from its alcove, strides to the center of the chamber, points toward Mike Surekill with the tip of its sword, and then assumes a stance ready for combat.
- Mike steps forward to engage the Champion.

How To Make Surfing On The Computer Safe
Those of you who own any kind of PC, be it a Macintosh or a machine running Windows, will want to know how to make surfing on the computer safe for the sake of your security and peace of mind. The internet is an infinite world full of diversified content, job opportunities and people to meet, but it is also polluted by hackers, spyware, viruses and predators of all sorts. You will need to be well armed to make surfing on the computer safe and fortunately, the tools for doing so are more available and easy to use than ever before.
You will need the following tools to make surfing on the computer safe:
An Anti-Virus program
A Software Firewall
A Spyware scanner
Obtain and install an anti-virus program. This is one of your two most important ways to make surfing on the computer safe. This is designed to prevent malicious programs from installing themselves on your computer.
Install a software firewall. Some programs, while not considered viruses, like to access the internet to send all sorts of information from your PC back to another website. Few of these programs tend to tell you what information they are sending. A software firewall can make surfing on the computer safe by giving you total control over what programs are allowed to "phone home".
Get an anti-spyware program. Some websites install tracking cookies which track your browsing habits. There are also programs that keep a record of your keystrokes, a hazard which completely bypasses all password security.
Avoid suspicious-looking websites. If you see a site that throws pornography up in your face without your request or which peddles illegal music or software downloads, it's probably not safe to browse.
There is no way to make surfing the internet from your computer perfectly safe. However, by following some simple steps you can make it extremely difficult for an online predator to do harm to your computer, your files, or your privacy and financial well-being.

Did you know that in Japan if a brand uses personal consumer information without their knowledge, 84% of consumers wouldn't use them again?
(Source: 2017 SAP Hybris Consumer Insights Report)
Navigating through relationships in the modern age is tough. Digital innovation has challenged the traditional ways people plot a course from dating to romance. It's the same with brands and consumers, isn't it? Consumers now hold the power in the relationship, thanks to the digital economy. Simply put, consumers have much higher expectations of what they want brands to deliver.
That's why we developed the SAP Hybris Consumer Insights Survey in March 2017: to help brands better understand consumers and set a stronger path forward to keep them coming back. The survey asked over 1,000 Japanese consumers questions that uncovered how they feel about engaging with brands, including data collection, privacy and customer response.
The results for Japan make up part of a bigger picture, as the full survey canvassed over 7,000 consumers across Asia Pacific that also included Australia, Singapore, Thailand, India, South Korea and China. The statistics and results were extensive, so we've produced a report to help brands navigate the state of digital consumer engagement and preferences.
Looking for more?
We understand that culture plays an important role, and relationships can shape differently in different countries. Each of this country report will give a detailed insight of what consumers in this market is after when it comes to having a relationship with brands.

Social forces need all the stamina they can get: This is the long weekend--starting tonight--of "The Joffrey Dinners . . . Act II," that marathon of more than 40 parties. Up to the last minute, Patti Skouras and her co-chairs--Mrs. Timothy Childs, Mrs. Dwight M. Kendall, Mrs. William F. Kieschnick, Mrs. E. L. Shannon Jr. and Patricia Kennedy--are still squeezing in those who want to sup and dine on Los Angeles hospitality--at $200 per person.
Except, Friday night it's $100 when the Friends of the Joffrey salute choreographer Hermes Pan at the Biltmore Hotel and when Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers join Gerald Arpino, associate director of the ballet, in the fund-raiser for the Unified Fund of the Music Center. This one's a black-tie black and white champagne ball, with top hat optional.
Dozens of hosts have added spaces to accommodate guests--like Tommy and Patti Skouras, Maud and Dick Ferry, Judy and Don Tallarico, Shirley and Hubie Laughran and Ruth and Ed Shannon. Also, there are lots of sold-out parties. (Alas, a few were canceled.) But, extraordinary opportunities for fun are still available with a mere phone call and a check. Reservations: (213) 972-7642.
Doing very nicely, thank you, also--the Music Center Mercado. The '86 Preview Party isn't until June 6, but Tuesday evening a 6 o'clock crowd sashayed over to Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills for the formal kickoff of the Preview (that's a sort of preview of a preview). Mariachis were serenading. To set the South of the Border aura, Nancy Petersen, who chairs opening night, set up a Mexican donkey cart and hired a photographer to take mementos for guests. Upstairs, in lingerie, quesadillas and shrimp were being devoured, flamenco dancers and margaritas flounced. But, as we all know, there's no such thing as a free lunch. And loyal Music Center fund-raisers were selling friends Mercado Preview tickets ($250) with zeal, and pinning them with Mercado buttons when they obliged. That means the party is well on its way to being a one-fourth sold--more than two months early--before invitations with the bright-colored tin parrots (designed by Diane Keith) go out in April.

Bursting with charm, sunburst mirrors, also known as starburst mirrors or star mirrors, give any room in which they are placed a jolt of decorative energy. They are the perfect piece of wall art to pump up the volume of a room that suffers from decor doldrums. Here you'll learn more about sunburst mirrors, explore some great ways to use them, and discover the price range for these exciting works of art.
Sunburst Mirrors: Shining Through The Centuries
Sunburst mirrors are nothing new to home decor. They've been used for centuries, and their lineage intertwines with 17th century France and Louis XIV (who was aptly called "the Sun King"). For generations, these beautiful pieces of wall art have graced the walls of royalty and ordinary people alike. It's a beloved style that never goes out of fashion.
There's a big variety of sunburst mirrors. While the general design of it is pretty obvious (a central mirror with "rays" emanating from it), there's still a surprising amount of choices. You'll find the central mirrors of varying sizes and many different stylistic choices for the rays themselves. The materials used for the rays, too, can vary widely - from glittering metals to earthy woods and everything between.
Amazon Price: $129.99 Buy Now
(price as of Sep 17, 2016)
Where To Use Sunburst Mirrors
Because of the variety, sunburst mirrors can fit into many different design motifs. There's some versions with paper-thin metallic rays that are perfect for modern minimalism and others using folded metals to feel like ribbons that work well with country chic. The wood sunburst mirrors also work great in that style.
There's a ton of vintage sunburst mirrors (or those that are designed to feel vintage) on the market. In fact, there are many that tackle some of the harder motifs to pull off, like art deco. And there are some types that fall under glass wall art as the rays have spherical mirrors themselves. These add a modern touch and create really unique lighting patterns around your room.
No matter the style, one thing holds true for these mirrors: They add pop into any space. If you're looking for a subtle accent piece, these mirrors are not for you. These are serious eye catchers; you can't ignore a sunburst mirror. But that is a big part of what makes one of these decorative mirrors so special. If you've got a room that feels rather bland in its style, a sunburst mirror can make an immediate impact. If you're struggling with a focal point for your wall, one of these pieces of wall art can do the trick. They energize a room and draw the eye in ways few other pieces of home decor can do.
Sunburst Mirror Prices
As with any home decor that uses a wide variety of materials and styles, sunburst mirrors have a big price range. There's plenty of varieties that land in a very affordable $50 to $100 range, but many fall between $100 to $300, and don't be surprised to see a few sunburst mirrors top $1,500. Those top-end pieces are very intricate and use expensive materials. Don't be scared by the pricing - there really are a lot of affordable (and beautiful) options out there. You can make a statement no matter the budget level you currently have.
Like the sun itself, sunburst mirrors are pure energy. When a statement piece is of the essence, they are one of the best choices you can make. They've got style and a presence to them that will embolden any room lacking in either. When you need that "wow" piece, these are smart home decor solutions.

Set priorities. Put first things first. Major on the majors…and don't sweat the small stuff.
We've all heard the slogans. Experts tell us they're the key to success. But with so many things clamoring for our attention, how do we determine what things to put first? How do we decide what majors to major on…and what small stuff not to sweat?
Those may sound like tough questions—and for many they are. But as born-again children of God, we don't have to rush out to buy a self-help book or sign up for a seminar to figure out the answer. All we have to do is open the Bible. It plainly lays out our priorities.
No. 1: Believe on the Name of Jesus.
No. 2: Walk in love.
That's it. God's Word says if we'll put those two things first in our lives, God will do whatever we ask and the rest of our lives will fall into place. Personally, I've never had a question about the first of those two priorities. It's always been obvious to me that since faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior is what gives us eternal life and sets us firmly in the family of God, then believing on His Name is the most vital thing we can ever do.
But honestly, I've wondered at times about that second priority. I've puzzled over why it's such a major issue with our heavenly Father. Why is it such a big deal to Him that we live in His love?
It is a big deal, you know. In fact, according to the Bible love is such a paramount issue in the mind of God, when one of the Pharisees asked Jesus to name the greatest commandment of all time, He said: "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets" (Matthew 22:37-40).
Think about that! According to Jesus, the command of love is so vital that the entire Word of God—from the Creation account in Genesis to the Amen at the end of Revelation—hangs on it.
Love is literally the ultimate spiritual law. All the operations of God's kingdom function in accordance with it, and no one on earth is exempt from it.

- Books – I'll hit the library early next week and grab a few Nutcracker reads. I'll look for Janet Schulman's The Nutcracker, E.T.A. Hoffman's Nutcracker, or Diane Goode's The Story of the Nutcracker Ballet.
- Coloring and Activity Pages — If I can find Dover's The Story of the Nutcracker, I'll pick it up; otherwise I'll just print out a page from The Nutcracker Coloring Book, Printable Nutcracker Puppets, or more Nutcracker Coloring Pages. (Watch out for ads on all these sites, though!)
- The Washington Ballet Videos — I'll show the kids some highlights of The Washington Ballet's The Nutcracker and some clips of TWB rehearsing and dancing and Septime Webre talking. Great way to give little ones some idea about what to expect at e show!
- Peter Tchaikovsky on Starfall – My kids are Starfall nutty, so directing them to this particular page will be helpful for getting them ready for the very basics of the story and the incredible music and sounds they'll hear.
- Nutcracker Activity Guide — Extremely helpful pdf guide to everything Nutcracker, this guide was created by the San Francisco Ballet and includes facts, history, play-by-play of the ballet, Nutcracker Mad Libs, Word Searches, and games. It's catered to the SF Ballet, but it can be helpful for anyone I believe.
Great tips Amy! Thanks! Read Amy's full post about The Washington Ballet's Nutcracker and hop on over and enter her Nutcracker ticket giveaway before Wednesday 12/15 for another chance to win!

- Talk to your children about what it means to be a good audience member at a live performance before you go. Alyssa Porambo, Manager of The Washington Ballet's Public Relations, provides the following advice: "The most important thing is to prepare them for what they are about to experience – let them know that they need to sit still and watch the dancers, but let them know that it's going to be fun and exciting as well!" During our performance the 3 mother-daughter pairs in front of us talked throughout the performance. The girls played musical chairs during the performance that blocked the view of other theater-goers. And the people behind us brought snacks in crinkly packages. My kids get hungry too but we make sure that we have quiet bags so we don't disturb others around us. Take your snacks out of their crinkly original packaging and put it in Ziplocs.
- Parking– There are plenty of garages across the street from and around the Warner Theater but if you are attending a Sunday matinee or a 7 pm performance, you might look for spots on the street first. They are free and will have you on the road sooner than having to wait to exit the garage.
- Plan to get there 30 minutes prior to the performance. If you get there earlier, shop at the Sugar Plum Shoppe in the Lobby for Nutcracker ornaments, books, tutus, and other delightful goods that benefit The Washington Ballet. You can also head downstairs to have your photo taken with The Sugar Plum Fairy for $10. Getting up close and personal with one of the ballet dancers in her Sugar Plum Fairy costume was a highlight for Little Miss Techie and Captain Computer! Pay cash for your photo and pick it up at intermission or after the performance. We found the line to have a photo taken during intermission was much longer than before the show.
- Brush up on ballet etiquette. Artistic Director Septime Webre greeted the audience prior to the start of the performance. He provided some ballet vocabulary for the audience. Clapping and saying bravo for male dancers, brava for female dancers, or bravi for men and women after a performance was much appreciated but gently reminded the audience that there is no talking during the ballet. Clearly not heard by the people in the row in front of us!
- Performance length is 2 hours with a very quick intermission. When the curtain closes and the house lights turn on at the end of Act 1, hop out of your seats and over the others in your aisle to head straight to the restrooms.
- Read the Nutcracker playbill before the curtain rises for a wonderful summary of the action in each act.

The topic of sharing online is a controversy that many people struggle with. How much to I put online? Is it fair to share kids pictures and work? People's digital footprints are shaped by the different ways people answer these questions and more. These footprints are crucial to ones reputation. A blog on teachershub.com gives an interesting quote. "If you aren't controlling who you are online, some else is or will." Is this true? If we are make the choice not to share, are other people shaping our identities? For the amount of fake Facebook accounts, one could argue that this is totally true. The worst part about having a fake account online is that it does not go away. It will simply slid down the google feed the less people use it. Digital footprints are more like permanent tattoos argues Juan Enriquez. He discusses how are permanent, immortal and including lots of data.
Credited to Tattoo Easily
So is leaving our mark a good thing? All of our data we put out online, will be accessible always. That is a whole lot of data when we consider our youth are being posted online even as they experience their first days in this world. All of their lives are uploaded. Is this a good thing? Will this affect our children's future? This could be argued either way. I think we need to look at what the kid wants and use that not so common "common sense". Posting videos of temper tantrums of your kids could be detrimental to them in their futures but, positive things could help market them to peers or future employers. It goes back to taking control of your digital foot print. Some students find sharing there work motivating. The public audience pushes them to achieve more and be better. Even young children are excited to share online!
So is sharing photos and work really caring? Is it a positive thing that we can watch our youth grow and change online? Is there anything we can do about it?

West's Green School Program
The Michigan Green Schools program was designed to help schools become more ecologically friendly and to educate students and the community about environmental responsibility. West has earned Green School status for the past four years and is hard at work on again reaching this goal.
For the 2012-2013 school year, the program lists five categories of activities promoting energy savings, recycling, environmental protection, and ecological awareness . For a school to receive Green Schools status it must participate in at least ten of these activities. Additional points can earn a school the "Emerald" or "Evergreen" designation. Last year West was awarded "Evergreen" status, the highest status available!
The West Eco Warriors is a new PTSA sponsored student group for all grades. We meet once a month to learn about the environment, what we can do to help sustain it and to work on projects for the Green Schools application.
- Constructing and using solar cookers
- Planting a tree
- Adopting an endangered animal
- Helping at a Clinton River Watershed Council stream clean up day
- Hosting MSU Tollgate farm and building a wormatorium
- Creating recycled art
- Helping to implement the district recycling program
Check out our webpage on www.GreeningDetroit.com

Giving back - young and old
I hope that many of you noticed groups of youngsters doing volunteer projects in Peabody on Oct. 16. Those were Peabody-Burns Middle School students who had the morning off because of testing for students in the freshman, sophomore, and junior classes. The kids picked up trash on Peabody St. from Ninth St. to 60th Rd., picked up trash and debris from the Peabody Township Library lawn, City Park, and Santa Fe Park, washed the windows on the downtown buildings, and cleaned the gutters on Walnut St. from Ninth St. to the railroad tracks. I went out and took pictures of several groups. If you know any middle school students or their parents, I think it would be great if you would express your appreciation. You might mention the same thing to any school administrators or board members you encounter.

Harry Truman and Dwight Eisenhower, consecutive presidents of the United States, were midwesterners alike in many ways—except that they also sharply differed. Born within six years of each other (Truman in 1884, Eisenhower in 1890), they came from small towns in the Missouri–Mississippi River Valley—in the midst of cows and wheat, pigs and corn, and grain elevators. Both were grandsons of farmers and sons of forceful mothers, and of fathers who knew failure; both were lower middle class, received public school educations, and were brought up in low-church Protestant denominations.
William Lee Miller interweaves Truman's and Eisenhower's life stories, which then also becomes the story of their nation as it rose to great power. They had contrasting experiences in the Great War—Truman, the haberdasher to be, led men in battle; Eisenhower, the supreme commander to be did not. Between the wars, Truman was the quintessential politician, and Eisenhower the thoroughgoing anti-politician. Truman knew both the successes and woes of the public life, while Eisenhower was sequestered in the peacetime army. Then in the wartime 1940s, these two men were abruptly lifted above dozens of others to become leaders of the great national efforts.
Miller describes the hostile maneuvering and bickering at the moment in 1952–1953 when power was to be handed from one to the other and somebody had to decide which hat to wear and who greeted whom. As president, each coped with McCarthyism, the tormenting problems of race, and the great issues of the emerging Cold War. They brought the United States into a new pattern of world responsibility while being the first Americans to hold in their hands the awesome power of weapons capable of destroying civilization.
Reading their story is a reminder of the modern American story, of ordinary men dealing with extraordinary power.

The most unusual Pets
A unique pet you can have, if the house is child-preschooler?
On may 23, the world celebrates world turtle day. It is an environmental holiday that is intended to attract the attention of people in the world to the problems of endangered species, particularly sea turtles. And for us it is also a good occasion to discuss whether in response to requests from the child about a pet instead of a cat or dog to have a reptile, amphibian, mollusk, or more unusual animal?
Unusual pet in the family appears for a variety of reasons. For example, the baby or someone from adult members of the family may be allergic to wool, what cats, dogs, hamsters and Guinea pigs are not suitable as nearest neighbors. Others think that amphibians or similar require less care and trouble than, for example, a dog. Some are afraid to get too attached to a pet and think, what if something happens sad to lose a cold snail baby will not hurt so much, like a warm living cat. Finally, someone just heartily like frogs, newts, or turtles. That's an unusual pet you can have, if the house is child-preschooler?
Turtle. These animals are terrestrial and aquatic, respectively, at home they should live in the cage with the lamp or in the aquarium. They can't feed homemade food, it means that you always pricesantibiotics about natural nutrition. Continue reading
Lemurs as Pets
Before we begin our discussion of lemurs as Pets, let me tell you one interesting fact about lemurs. You know that lemurs and humans are classified as primates. More information about this kind of facts and information about the keeping of lemurs as Pets, read on.
All animal lovers who want to contain these types of Pets that no one else has, almost everyone wants to contain lemurs. After lemurs as Pets, nothing would sound unusual for those who have seen these adorable, cozy creatures. Now, what this entire article. Any of us who watched the cartoon Madagascar knows that lemurs occur only in Madagascar. Of course, a trip to Madagascar to retrieve the lemur as a pet is not a cheap exercise. So the best way to get lemur – the pet store. Anyway, before I delve into those details, allow me to present you some interesting facts about lemurs.
Facts about lemurs

Balanced diet dogs
Like people, dogs require a balanced diet containing all the important components for an active life, including proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals and trace elements in the correct proportions.
Of course, it is possible to prepare their own dog food. Then it is very difficult to observe the necessary proportions: properly cook meat, they add essential vitamins, minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus. It requires a lot of time, labor and knowledge.
Finished feed is the most reliable means to ensure healthy, fully corresponding to the breed of the animal food. Since the dog perceives and loves the habits, it is necessary from an early age to feed prepared food.A wide range of finished feed will save you time, give balanced nutrition and satisfy the tastes of any dog.
The transition to a different kind of feed should happen gradually. The new feed should be mixed into ordinary food in small portions at first, gradually increasing.
The main beverage and healthy adult dog is fresh water. Give milk lactating dogs and puppies. Vital need for dogs in liquid covered by drinking water and moisture, Continue reading

EDMOND, Okla. - The first report came last November. An employee of an Edmond salon stepped outside for a "smoke break" when she spotted a teenager in a black hoodie and red plaid pajama pants.
To her surprise, he exposed himself.
Edmond Police Officer James Hamm said, "Over the last few months, we've gotten reports of a male seen in public exposing himself."
A second, equally disturbing report came from a neighborhood park in February.
He was literally almost caught with his pants down.
A female jogger was running through the park and spotted the young man, playing with himself.
According to the police report, she looked him straight in the eye and said "you better run."
She chased him but had to stop after tripping on a mound of dirt and injuring her foot.
The suspect escaped but police said he surfaced this week.
A woman and her 9-year-old daughter witnessed his inappropriate behavior near Orvis Riesner Elementary School and quickly called police.
Hamm said, "Officers were close by and stopped him. They said they recognized the clothes as the same from another incident."
The 14-year-old boy told authorities he had done nothing wrong.
He claims he was adjusting himself and "it slipped out."

Buffalo Bills
Carson Palmer bounced back from a tough week 1 loss to the Patriots and put in a great game against the Buccaneers.
He is looking like an early MVP candidate and should have no problem getting the ball to his playmakers.
David Johnson needs to have a better performance running the ball this week against the Bills. He didn't reach the end zone and had only 45 yards on the ground against a Buccaneers D not known for stopping the run.
He did have 98 yards receiving on 3 catches and should be able to attack the Buffalo defense.
Larry Fitzgerald (6 catches for 81 yards and a touchdown) and John Brown (2 catches for 78 yards and a touchdown), should continue their strong play this week.
Look for Michael Floyd to bounce back after a nearly invisible game as well.
The Cardinals defense forced Jameis Winston into 5 interceptions last week, and going up against a brand new offensive coordinator who has mainly coached running backs, should mean more turnovers this week.
Look for Patrick Peterson to get 2 picks.
Buffalo Bills
The Bills fans have not been happy with the offense this year.
There was so much pressure from all sides that forced Rex Ryan to fire his offensive coordinator. What does that mean for Tyrod Taylor?
I expect the offense to lean heavily on the running the game, using more designed runs for the QB.
He won't be able to make many plays this week against one of the leagues better defenses.
Shady McCoy is averaging only 3.8 yards per carry this season.
I think the cardinals front seven will keep 8 in the box, forcing Taylor to beat them with his arm. It will be another low stat game for McCoy.
Sammy Watkins will have Patrick Peterson on him all game, so he will be a non-factor. I'm looking for Marques Goodwin to have another big game this week. He should use his speed to reach the end zone on a deep play.
Rex Ryan is known for his defense but the Bills have been average at best the last 2 seasons. Bringing in his brother Rob Ryan only makes the unit worse as he is overrated as a coordinator.
They will have an uphill battle against this potent Cardinals offense and I don't believe they are up to the task.

Northbrook, IL (February 26, 2015) – Digital Check Corp. will discuss the effects of problem images – which cost banks millions of dollars annually in the clearing and settlement process – at the BAI Payments Connect conference next week in Phoenix. Tom Jordan, Digital Check's Director of Software Solutions, will join U.S. Bank's VP of Compliance and Processing, Keith Powers, in the session titled "Check Imaging – The Multimillion Dollar Problem."
In a 2014 white paper, Digital Check explored the cost of difficult-to-scan documents in the banking industry, and discovered that minor errors caused by issues from bad handwriting to background printing affect 3-4 billion checks and money orders per year in the United States. Another small subset of less than 0.1% of checks cause major problems that result in nearly half of all clearing costs for some banks. Jordan and Powers will discuss the real-world implications of image quality on financial institutions' operations, as well as new image-enhancement technology and business practices that can mitigate its impact on a bank's bottom line.
The session takes place from 9:45-10:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 4. For more information, visit the BAI website. Digital Check's white paper, titled Image Quality: The Quiet Problem That Costs Millions, can be downloaded at www.digitalcheck.com. Visit Digital Check at Booth 413 at the show.

CREST focuses on the Science Inquiry Skills content descriptors of the Australian Curriculum: Science, as well as aligning with various other content descriptors of Science as a Human Endeavour and Science Understanding strands.
CREST activities can easily be adapted for different school levels all the way from Foundation to Year 10.
We've demonstrated how to do this with an example activity – the kitty litter CREST Green activity from the 'Pets and other animals' series.
Of course we don't expect you to use the same activity each year for your CREST students, but if you want to use an activity from another CREST level with your class, you can easily adapt it.
By viewing all of the example activities teachers will see a progression of the skill development in the Science Inquiry Skills strand.
The emphasis is on preparing students to undertake their own open-ended science investigation.
Comparing the activities between levels will help you adapt other activities yourself. Each file is available in PDF and Word formats.

Beggars' Philanthropy
If you think you will be reading about few unfortunate people whom we find in our public life, then please be advised that it is not so. This post is about everyone of us, it is about our attitude towards being organized – a common crisis and thereafter.
Many of us have a complaint about feeling powerless to events influencing our life in these turbulent times we are living. Certainly there are many factors beyond our control that can affect us, such as the economy, our jobs, value of our savings or retirement plans, our mortgages, and even the weather. Rarely, we have a plan or answer to such events. Yet, we consider ill – organized planning, a result of such events.
The first thing you need to do is to work on a vision of how you want your life to be, as well as a clear plan on how to get there. It is surprising to discover that most of us are simply wandering along just letting life happen to us, all the while wishing that our dreams would come true. Why should we sit back, waiting for life to happen as it will, when we have the power to set our own goals and the energy and desire to make our dreams a reality? Setting goals puts you squarely in charge of your own life, and that is a very desirable situation.
Think about it!

Adidas zx flux still makes it possible for a great connection to the ground having just about every move
Le 7 March 2016, 03:19 dans Humeurs • 0
Terrain adidas uk feel isn't really in the Vibram FiveFingers classification, even so the Adidas zx flux still makes it possible for a great connection to the ground having just about every move. Overall collection elevation will be 12mm in the back heel and also bottom: 4mm will be midsole AVOI, and also a 2mm insole, 1mm rock plate, and the remainder becoming outsole rubberized. Testers wary up against the temptation involving ramping in the mileage too rapidly as doing so will probably "leave a new mark" on the lower legs. Additionally they cautioned towards taking them about genuinely bumpy paths which you could bruise this bottoms of your respective legs.
Providing them with this benefit-of-the-doubt When i perservered along with thankfully together with some time, my perception transformed. You can feeling the many protrusions within the trek, although there's not any distress in the event you stub ones toes and fingers or maybe bang your current base straight into a good unseen underlying or perhaps good ole'. Nike's method of safety measures is always to give a comfortable healthy, only at the rear of your golf ball with the foot or so. An effective way associated with describing it really is which it seems like this laces tend to be sucking the only in the in ones posture. Yes it really is befuddling in the beginning, even so the experience slowly fades for the reason that adidas sale receive broken-in. Second, the particular stone platter now offers grooves lower in the plate. Runners will really feel a lesser amount of "slappy" (noisy) and even more adaptable but nonetheless provides the nominal safeguard needed in piste. This specific pattern provides a a lot more normal experience and rolls greater together with your foot with diverse terrain. That, couple while using the piste protect denture, you're likely to be able to get rid agony a result of sliding or even stepping about unfavorable factors.
Nike won't want to be responsible for negatively affecting the runners using therefore little cushioning, so they extra a 4mm CMEVA midsole shock absorption method to defend you much more, given that there's by now the actual Vibram outsole along with the trek shield dish. I discovered the actual fine mesh upper provided plenty of contract to comply with the form involving our toes under impact, and with period worked out somewhat. Your Adidas zx fluxs definitely boost along with grow older. Whenever utilized having slender socks or simple legs I discovered the particular suit to get genuine to help size. When worn using a somewhat larger sock, I would recommend receiving a half-size bigger. Plainly were for getting one more pair, I would probably size-up a half sizing making sure that I really could use them having a wider range of socks. Lastly, while using adidas originals uk OMNIFIT lacing, Nike taken out a couple of from the closures to help available that upward for an much easier on-and off of, and also will allow this feet to be able to splay much more. Some sports people have been furthermore obtaining the underside 2 closures placing stress on the top with their ft . therefore Nike fixed that to get a much more healthy suit and experience, though nonetheless keeping superb foot or so hold on the particular instep.
Even so, it's even now while variable since ever, but still functions at the same time as well as superior to everybody else. With the Tempo Baseball glove only two, this supple heel receiver collar have been swapped out with a additional conventional dog collar. Some athletes can be having issues with all the supple rearfoot dog collar on their Achilles…The Correct Gloves together with thier stronger second, don't act as effectively to me. That they don't sound to achieve the same foot-molding capabilites for the reason that Adidas zx flux. According to this expernience, it is my opinion men and women along with bigger toes will likely be preferred in the Adidas zx fluxs.
The effectiveness suit, the more rigid sole, plus the significant bottom spg cause them to become much less suited to lower impression task. I stumbled upon the particular toe of the feet planting season can be troublesome for casual work with as i similar to obtaining my ft ripped on the floor. This adidas originals sale uppr can be an respond to the various issues challenged by simply smart athletes. Way too loose? The actual Adidas zx flux has a artificial buckskin in addition to air flow fine mesh upper to be certain your toes acquire that sock-like in shape.

I have just viewed the trailer for this film and will definitely be watching it. Many thanks for the heads up.

It's a great film, Jacqui - wish it had won the Oscar - but do be quick, because I don't think it will be in cinemas much longer.
- 4 July 2016 at 21:55
So glad you went to see it Mary. I don't get to the cinema half as much as I like but was so glad to have caught Mustang. It certainly deserves international recognition.

Thank you for the timely reminder, LuluAnna - I think if I hadn't gone this week, I'd have missed it as it's only on in a handful of cinemas now.

A recommendation like that is hard to resist. There's a small cinema downtown that shows independent films 'sometimes' so I'm going to watch for this to show up. In any case, it's definitely one for the order department at my library. Thanks, Mary!

I loved this movie and think it is so important for everyone to see. It came and went here in Los Angeles and I wish more people had seen it. An excellent film about women and freedom. One of the best movies of the year!

It came and went very quickly here, too, Sunday - got excellent reviews but when I've mentioned it to friends, they've never heard of it. I rather wished it had won the Oscar instead of Son of Saul which was so desperately bleak.

Superbugs: The Scientist
I got a call to create a full page and three spots for the summer issue of The Scientist. The article focused on experts studying bacterial threats that continue to evolve and evade modern antibiotics. I created loose, interpretive sketches with ink and brush to give the bacteria an organic feel and then composed it digitally. Love the result and thanks to Art Director Lisa Modica for the nice design.

The RPS Bargain Bucket
You people like bargains, right? Well, have some bargains. SavyGamer's LewieP has kindly compiled the most agreeably cut-priced PC gaming deals to be had on this fine weekend – most of which can be downloaded right now, thus saving you from the tragic perils of a listless Sunday. There is no rhyme or reason to our picks, beyond simply pointing you at some fine games you might have missed out back when they carried a full-fat pricetag. So, what's in the bucket this week?
Mount & Blade – £7.40/€7.99/$10.33
Huge sprawling action RPG, made by a Turkish married couple. It is a little rough round the edges, but it's an incredibly fresh, ambitious take on the genre. The scale and scope is impressive, and the combat is pretty compelling. There's also an expansion on the way later this year that'll introduce multiplayer. Try the demo here.
Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 – £2.99/€4.99/$4.99
Multiplayer-only WW2 FPS. Not played it myself, but apparently it has a quite brutal learning curve, and has a impressively dedicated community behind it. It's just had an update that has added achievements, a new map, and some bugfixes.
Big Money – Free
Yes, it's yet another match-3 game from Popcap, but they're still the folk behind Peggle, lest we forget, so this might be fun too. The price is certainly right – it's available for free until the 23rd of March. Even if you don't want it, I'm sure your mum does.
Men Of War – £17.99/€23.99/$26.99 delivered (pick your country in the top right, then search "Men of War").
Apparently quite good despite having one of the worst names of any game ever. It's an RTS based on the Russian theatre of World War II. According to Jim you can steal hats from fallen enemies. Also it has tanks, grenades, explosions, guns and flamethrowers. Try the demo here.
Bargain of the Week
Unreal Tournament 3 – £8.39/€11.99/$11.99
Not only has Unreal Tournament 3 had a massive update recently, adding new gametypes, new maps, achievements and a bunch of technical improvements, but it's also free to play this weekend on Steam. UK gamers can alternatively grab a retail copy just £4.99. You can then tap the retail serial into Steam to add it to your Steam account.
If that little lot's not enough for you, do check out SavyGamer.co.uk for constantly-updated bargains across all formats.


text: I noticed that everyday one of this threads comes up into the JV section. I would like to inform everyone that under my opinion there are 99.999% chances you will loose your money. Lets think about it for a second. These guys are so smart, so bright, better then a genius even, because they found the goldmine but they lack the money to invest themselves or the brains to make the money for the initial investment WITHOUT seeking outside help. Main question which pops in my head every time is: If its 100%, GUARANTEED return in a defined period of time WHY would you want to have a partner and share the profits ? There are tons of ways of getting money without interest from a lot of sources: friends or family, short term loan from a bank, friends credit card, friends of friends etc. and this way someone will vouch for you and it will be easier to obtain the necessary funds rather then seeking for investors and convince them. Its much easier seeking help from members who know you or with whom you've dealt before rather than strangers. How can you convince an investor if you aren't so convinced yourself ? WHY don't you take the risk yourself and invest the money if its 100% guaranteed deal ? As long as anyone outsources the risk and the money invested to a second person even though the profits will be shared its a RED FLAG for me. Not to mention that most threads are aimed not at one but at several investors. Its so easy to sign out and take the money. I know for a fact that these kind of opportunities exist on different markets but generally who knows about it will act on its own because it ain't going to be the same everyday. Its not my intention to insult anyone with this thread but I feel that these type of joint ventures don't belong to BHW and from my experience it will END bad for the investors BUT if you are one of those 0.001% congrats. Think about it guys before you give away your money. I just want to give a heads up to potential investors and potential victims.
