Climatic changes and human activities have worked to pave the way for alien species to invade new areas far from their native habitat. The Mediterranean sea has received many invasive species (Eissa and Zaki, Procedia Environmental Sciences 4:251-259, 2011; Occhipinti-Ambrogi, Marine Pollution Bulletin 55(7):342-352, 2007), and some of these species had been recorded in the Syria coastal (Saad, Turkish Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences 5:99-106, 2005).
One specimen of the Berber ponyfish Leiognathus berbis, with a total length of 78 mm, was caught by gillnet at a depth of 35 m, where the bottom is sandy soft, on 05 May 2016, in Syrian marine waters at Ibn Hani area (The Eastern Mediterranean Sea).
This study reports that Berber ponyfish Leiognathus berbis, a member of Lessepsian species, was found in Syrian marine waters and recorded for the first time there.
This is the first record for Leiognathus berbis in the Syrian costal waters, and observations for the first time from the fishermen, There are several factors helped this specimen to arrive to this area of Mediterraean; one of these factors is ballast water.

Climatic changes and human activities have worked to pave the way for alien species to invade new areas far from their native habitat. The climatic changes have made the environmental conditions suitable for these species and similar to their original habitat in terms of temperature, salinity and food. While leading human activity, the opening of the Suez Canal, and the movement of ships across the world, is an important factor for making the road, which was impassable, for the fish species to move into new marine environments (Occhipinti-Ambrogi 2007, Eissa and Zaki 2011). The Mediterranean sea has received many invasive species coming from the Atlantic, Pacific and Red Sea. Many species have invaded the Mediterranean species, and settled in, because the marine environment has become suitable for their growth and reproduction (Golani 1998a, Golani 1998b, Oral 2010). To this day, new marine organisms still reach the Mediterranean; of these organisms, those belonging to the family Leiognathidae: Small to medium-sized fish (rarely exceeding 16 cm); body oblong or rounded, moderately to markedly compressed laterally. Eyes moderate to large. Mouth highly protractible, when extended forming a tube directed either upwards (Secutor spp.), forward (Gazza spp.), or forward or downward (Leiognathus spp.). Color :silvery, with characteristic markings on the upper half of sides which are useful for identification (Capenter and Niem 2001, Abraham et al. 2011). In reference to the ocean biogeographic information system (http://www.iobis.org/) and the encyclopedia of life (http://www.eol.org/), the family Leiognathidae exists in water's temperature range (18.528–28.954)°C, and salinity (32.183–35.468) PPS.

The specimen of Leiognathus berbis lives from Madagascar to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, along the Indian coasts and off Sri Lanka, eastward to Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines; north to Taiwan and Fukien provinces of China; prefers coastal inshore water as a habitat; at a depth of about 40 m (Carpenter and Niem 2001); and has never been recorded in the Syrian coast before (Saad 2005, Ulman et al. 2015); this fish has been registered in the Suze gulf in 2005 (El-Ganainy et al. 2005). This led to arrival of the specimen of Leiognathus berbis from the Gulf of Suez, where the hydrological factors are very close to those found in the Mediterranean Sea; they moved then through the Suez Canal to reach the Syrian coastal. A new Suez Canal had been opened on 9 August 2015, which has made a big chance for fish to move into the Mediterranean sea. On other hand, the climatic changes in the world, especially in the eastern Mediterranean, are making the environment very suitable for invasive species in terms of the temperature, food, and the place for reproduction (Sorte et al. 2010). One point of view explaining the arriaval of this types of fish to the Syrian coast is that the small size of Leiognathus berbis allows it to move through the ballast water. This is the first record for Leiognathus berbis which is spreading from the Indian Ocean to the Red Sea (Carpenter and Niem 2001); this result shows that the waters of the Syrian coastal water has become more convenient than before to the invasive species which they will compete with the native species; it is possible that the invasive species would become useful by entering into the food chains of other marine organisms, allowing the increase of species and diversity in the new area, particularly in the eastern basin of the Mediterranean (Dial and Roughgarden 1998).
This is the first record for Leiognathus berbis in the Syrian costal waters, and the first time they are observed by fishermen; this indicates that there are several factors helped this specimen to arrive to this area of Mediterraean such as ballast water.

Hula balances his paddle board on the water the same way he balances the hyper-realistic paintings of women he depicts above the surface of that same water. The artist chooses abandoned sites and approaches the walls of his future murals by paddling on his surf board and carefully bringing his paint and brushes along with him.
Sean Yoro, a.k.a. Hula, represents women gracefully enjoying the contact of the water. The colors used are natural, dissolving with the stone color tones of the murals and the grey/green tones of the water. Geometric pastel signs are drawn onto the naked parts of their bodies such as the neck, shoulders and arms. The rest of their bodies is covered with water as Hula depicts only the top parts of the women's bodies. The reflection of the pictures onto the surface of the water creates a double image, accentuating the peaceful and intimate moments caught by the artist.
Hula captures the smiles of pleasure and well being the women are experiencing in hidden places. Leaving the viewer wondering who these women are and if they even exist. Away from the city of New York, with nothing but his paint and his women, the moments spent scouting locations and painting in solitude in the middle of nowhere confers a meditative break to the artist.

a saturday night beach adventure. (mom + adelie)
running wild.
mothers day 2014
in love with this girl.
the last time it snowed, Adelie was not a happy camper. she was very ready for spring!! she asked Nate, "who told the snow-makers to make more snow?!!". ha! so, now that spring is here, we are really, really, really enjoying the sunshine & the warmer weather!
we had a great week last week!! Adelie is loving her preschool program. she is there four times during the week – so when she is there, Kennedi & Tippi & I have an excuse to hang out at the park for a couple hours!! we love it! it's a fun new routine. this is the first time K&A have really been apart – and they're both doing great on their own. they definitely miss each other – but it's great for Adelie to have preschool on her own – and Kennedi is loving the attention she gets with our one-on-one (plus Tippi!) time. it's great. I love it. Adelie must have told her teachers about Kennedi – because when I picked her up after her first day of class, I asked her how everything went – she loved it all….except…"mom, the teachers didn't know how to write 'Kennedi'…." (and she then showed me a picture that she drew…and a teacher had written 'Kenny' on the back!). made me laugh! oh, little 'Kenny'. I love my little girls.

Whether you actually attended WWDC or not (I didn't), it's been an intense week for developers on Apple's platforms. This year's keynote may not have been as exciting as last year's, but for developers WWDC 2015 brought plenty of good news – both in the sessions and outside of them.
There are relatively few headline features in OS X 10.11 and iOS 9 (which is not at all a bad thing). The one that stands out to me is split-view multitasking on the iPad. I haven't had the chance to try this out yet, but the UI looks extremely well designed – Apple clearly put a lot of thought into this. I bet this will breathe new life into the iPad as a distinct app platform.
One year after its introduction, it seems that Swift has matured to the point where the Swift team has more or less realized its vision of the language. That's not to say we won't see new features in the future, of course. But through a combination of performance improvements, better compiler diagnostics, new language features, and complete annotations of the Cocoa APIs, Swift 2 no longer feels like something you constantly have to fight.
In particular, protocol extensions make the language much more expressive. The session on Protocol-Oriented Programming in Swift has been my favorite of the ones I've watched so far.
I think now is a good time to make the switch from Objective-C, at least if you can target Swift 2 (that is, if your next release is after the final release of Xcode 7 in the fall). Clients willing, I plan to write all my future iOS code in Swift.
Tim Cook's Apple is Open
This is the theme of the week for me. The announcement that Swift will be open-sourced was just the biggest bombshell in this respect, but by no means the only one:
- Developers don't have to pay a membership fee to deploy apps on their own iOS devices anymore.
- The new developer forums are now accessible without an account.
- Phil Schiller appears on a podcast.
- The WWDC session videos now show the engineers giving the talk. (This may look like a little thing and it might be for completely unrelated reasons, but it makes Apple as a company feel a lot more friendly and approachable.)
- CloudKit is getting a REST API. Of all announcements, this is the one that surprised me the most.
Here's Ash Furrow's take on this:
This is a continuing trend that I believe began under Tim Cook's leadership. Swift engineers have been using Twitter as a means to engage with adopters of the language; last year they mentioned CocoaPods in a WWDC talk; we knew the native Watch SDK was coming because Apple told us beforehand. These are all data points on a trend line that leads us to open sourcing Swift.
Apple seem to be waking up to the reality that they have more to gain from working with us than in secret. There are obviously still tensions between the community and Apple, but I've never been more excited to see where things will go.
And Aleen Simms:
In the last year, Tim (can I call him Tim?) has done more to put a human face on the company than Steve Jobs ever did.
Exciting times.

Chapter 593: Meeting South Heaven!
Meng Hao's eyes flickered. He turned and made his way off into the distance. In the end, he picked three other similar places in the Demon Immortal Sect where he concealed Wooden Time Swords in the ground.
Currently, he had a total of ten Wooden Time Swords, which he could use to unleash the first form of the Lotus Sword Formation.
To bet four of the swords on a possibility that was most likely impossible was a huge gamble for him.
"Each one of these Wooden Time Swords represents a vast collection of Spirit Stones…." he thought. Enduring the pain of it, he hid one sword after another. Every time he did, he buried his dreams and hopes along with it.
Meng Hao selected the four locations very carefully. In fact, the four different locations were places that, according to his memories of the First Plane, were still relatively intact.
That way, just in case the swords really did appear in the Third Plane… then they would be easy for him to recover.
As night fell, Meng Hao hovered in mid-air, looking out across the lands. He glanced at the four places where he had buried the swords, and the anticipation in his eyes grew stronger.
"If I succeed, then my path of cultivation can continue even more smoothly. If I don't succeed… then at least I will have no regrets." He made one more final look to ensure that he had committed the various locations to memory. Then, he made his way to the Fourth Peak.
More time passed by. Another half month was gone. The ghost images continued to occur with increasing frequency. The interval between the occurrences was shorter, and every time they occurred, they lasted for several breaths of time.
In fact, on one occasion a few days ago, Meng Hao had been concocting pills when the ghost images sprang for a few dozen breaths of time. During that time, he almost had the feeling that he had left the illusory ancient world.
He hadn't seen Ke Yunhai recently. Even when he went to pay his respects and wish Ke Yunhai good health, it was only through the closed door of the Immortal's cave. When Ke Yunhai spoke to him from inside, his voice seemed somewhat tired.
He wasn't sure what Ke Yunhai was doing, but whenever he heard the man's voice, he felt calmer. Ke Yunhai was his father in this life, and as far as Meng Hao was concerned, the most valuable thing he had acquired in this illusory world.
Xu Qing still had not finished with her secluded meditation. However, she had clearly experienced success in her enlightenment. Every time Meng Hao looked at her, she was experiencing different transformations of the soul.
She seemed completely immersed in Daoist magic. Although she was not consummately beautiful, there was now a vague air to her that was both unforgettable and fascinating.
"It should be any moment now," murmured Meng Hao as he sat there cross-legged in the Immortal's cave. "The ghost images are growing more intense and more frequent. Everybody must be getting very antsy by now." He looked out at the evening sky and the dark clouds that were gathering up above.
Recently, he had not of his own initiative sought out any of the other South Heaven Cultivators. He had kept to himself, trying to concoct his medicinal pill from nothing, or achieve enlightenment of the Daoist magics.
Of course, all of the Cultivators from South Heaven were extraordinary individuals. Each one had inside information from their various Sects or Clans, as well as methods to evade Meng Hao. He was well aware of that. He could either mobilize the entire Sect to try to find them, or just not look for them at all. He preferred the latter.
Meng Hao was confident that they… would come looking for him.
When they did, it would be the whole group, except perhaps for Patriarch Huyan, who Meng Hao would kill at first sight.
Sheets of rain began to descend onto the Demon Immortal Sect. The entire world turned hazy, and as Meng Hao looked out at it, he had a strange feeling. He wasn't sure if the world he was in was hazy, or if the rain was hazy… or if it was both.
It was much like how he viewed the future.
The rain fell until the third night watch before it started to lighten up. The land was covered with coldness that transformed into fog. When the sun rose, the fog slowly began to grow thin and then dissipate, transforming the haziness into clarity. Everything looked like a beautiful oil painting.
At dawn, a sword came!
It was impossible to say where the sword came from, but it shot directly toward Meng Hao. None of the protective spell formations on the Fourth Mountain did anything to stop it; apparently there was something special about this sword.
The sword came to a stop a meter or two in front of Meng Hao, where it hovered in the air. A mottled glow emanated up from its surface. Just barely discernible on the sword were the traces of a mark made by a soul.
It was one character.
Meng Hao smiled. The people he had been waiting for were finally showing their faces.
He made a grasping motion with his right hand, causing the sword to fall into his hand. He sent out his Divine Sense to sweep it over, and immediately, a message transmitted into his mind.
After hearing the message, his smile grew even wider. After a long moment, he closed his eyes.
Noon passed, and evening was approaching by the time he opened his eyes again. His body flickered, transforming into a beam of light that shot past the First Peak and out of the mountainous region toward an area near the main part of the Sect where the Outer Sect disciples resided.
When Meng Hao finally arrived, no one was out and about. Everything was quiet as he headed toward a set of three connected residence buildings. As he neared a location between the second and third residence buildings, he waved his hand, causing a door to open up. Without hesitation, he entered.
Instantly, dozens of gazes fell upon him.
The residence was large and filled with dozens of waiting people. As Meng Hao looked around, he could see that they were separated into various groups.
Even within those groups, there were various subdivisions based on whichever area the people were from. After all, even though some of them might wish to kill others, they knew that they had to look at the bigger picture, and the trouble that it would cause if something like that happened.
The largest group of all, shockingly, was the Ji Clan. They had seven people, all of whom were Inner Sect disciples. Their eyes shone brightly, and although they didn't speak, they made no effort conceal their extraordinary demeanors, nor their arrogance and pride.
Of the group of seven, three were women and four were men. There were two among them who were the most conspicuous. One was Ji Xiaoxiao, the other was a young man who had the glittering mark of a trident on his forehead. He emanated a sense of danger, and reminded Meng Hao a lot of the Ji Clan member he had killed most recently, Ji Mingfeng.
This young man was none other than Ji Clan Array member, Ji Mingkong!
However, of the seven Ji Clan members, the one that drew Meng Hao's attention the most was neither Ji Xiaoxiao nor Ji Mingkong. Instead, it was an ordinary looking youth of short stature who stood behind them, smiling.
The youth seemed ordinary, but after looking at the seven Ji Clan members, that youth was the only one who caused him to feel a sense of danger.
It was merely a sense of danger, though. Meng Hao could not detect any bone-deep hatred from any of them, the type that said they wouldn't rest until he was dead. Apparently, they did not have any idea at all that Meng Hao was connected to the death of Ji Mingfeng.
He glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao. She looked back at him silently.
In addition to the seven members of the Ji Clan, there was also the Fang Clan. Fang Yu looked at Meng Hao with a slight, enigmatic smile. Behind her were two men whose eyes glistened with displeasure as they coldly measured up Meng Hao.
Meng Hao recalled what Fang Yu had told him about three members of the Fang Clan coming to the Demon Immortal Sect. Obviously, these were the other two from the Fang Clan.
What was most intriguing to Meng Hao was that, although the right hands of these two men seemed ordinary, he could tell that they were not. He was familiar with the usage of the diaphanous Fang Clan glove. A single glance and he could tell that they were wearing just such gloves.
In addition to the Ji and Fang Clans, there were four or five others from the Eastern Lands. Most of them were grouped near the Ji or Fang Clans, but were eclipsed by those blazing suns of that part of the world. They didn't look very extraordinary at all in comparison.
However, their Cultivation bases were clearly beyond ordinary. As Meng Hao looked them over, his gaze came to rest on a tall, slender man who stood next to Fang Yu. He was smiling, but within the gentleness of his look was a viciousness buried deep down. Inside, he was obviously an ambitious and ruthless person.
As for who he was, Meng Hao wasn't quite sure. However, considering where he was standing, he could formulate some guesses.
"Don't tell me this guy is chasing after the explosive dragon?" he thought. He suddenly felt a bit of admiration for the man's bravery.
In another direction were the people from the Northern Reaches. From what Meng Hao understood, the Northern Reaches was a savage and uncivilized region. In some ways, it might be better than the Western Desert, but it was vastly different from the Southern Domain or Eastern Lands.
Actually, Meng Hao knew that the so-called Northern Reaches were actually a land of exile. The Cultivators there were mostly people that other locations couldn't tolerate, who eventually sought their fortune in the Northern Reaches.
Of course, what the Northern Reaches proclaimed to have was freedom. Complete and ultimate freedom.
Most of the Sects there were rebel Sects from other areas. The Clans were usually formed from scattered remnants of other Clans. One example was the so-called Imperial Bloodline Clan.
According to rumor, that clan had previously given rise to several Immortals. Because of that, descendants had a strong foundation and were able to expand and grow. Eventually the group split. One half perished and the other half traveled to the Northern Reaches where they became this new Clan.
There were a total of eight Cultivators from the Northern Reaches. All of them looked very bizarre, and none of them grouped together. Each one remained isolated.
The tyrannical and haughty air that they emanated was readily apparent. Of the eight of them, three were women and five were men. Each one seemed like a viper, cold and grim. There was one of them, a young man, who stuck out more than the others. He had the eyes of a phoenix, and beautiful features. He appeared to be smiling, but it was a cold smile that made one feel as if a frigid wind was blowing through you.
This was none other than the member of the Imperial Bloodline Clan.
There was another young man who had a strange birthmark that almost didn't appear to be a part of his body at all. It seemed to be slowly wriggling across his face, a shocking image that would make anyone who glanced at it look twice.
Next to that group were the people from the Southern Domain.
As he laid eyes upon them, Meng Hao's eyes softened a bit. The Southern Domain… was his home. Most accurately speaking, he was someone from the Southern Domain.
There were a total of seven people from the Southern Domain. From the way they were organized, Meng Hao could quickly see which alliances now existed between various Sects and Clans.
Wang Lihai and Han Bei were together, which meant that the Wang Clan and the Black Sieve Sect were in cooperation.
Song Yunshu was nowhere to be seen. If Meng Hao's guesses were correct, Song Yunshu had most likely met his fate at the hands of Ji Xiaoxiao. She surely had killed him to remove him as a witness.
Eventually, Meng Hao's gaze came to fall on one of the women from the Southern Domain. Although her physical features were unfamiliar, as soon as their eyes met, Meng Hao gaped.
"It's her…."

Looking into moving to Houston? Interested in if Houston is going to be the city of jobs that you wait to be accessed? You may be impressed by a place like Houston. Most of the high paid jobs that you are going to find in Houston are in the Healthcare Industry, that is the same trend we are seeing nationwide. If you are the chief executive, you will be pleased to know that, in a pace like Houston, your job will be rank No. 2 instead of No. 10 as it is nationally.
If you are interested in healthcare, Houston may be your place. The Texas Medical Center is home to the largest concentration of medical professional and experts anywhere in the world. If that is not enough for you, it may interest you that The Texas Medical Center is the largest employer in Houston. So not only you will work with the best people but in the famous firm too.
If you aren't interested in working in healthcare, you need not worry. Management Occupations are of the best paid in Houston, followed closely by Legal Occupations. Obviously Construction Occupations like Architecture and Engineering are also in the top of the list. You need to remember that Houston is one of those big and important places in the Oil Business, and it is in part because of that reason that we see more stability and better growth there than in other places, in the country.
One of the thing that make Houston city jobs interesting is how much the different opportunities can vary. You will find Houston to be a strong candidate for Healthcare, Oil Related, Management and even Chef jobs.
According to the Employment numbers, Houston got almost 78,000 jobs at the end of 2013, but what important as economists are pointing out is that most likely the Houston Market is getting momentum, and you will see its growth. With the new discoveries, in Oil and the US ready to increase its oil production and reduce its foreign dependency places so Houston will feel the direct impact. If the Economists are right, you will see grow in Houston's city jobs as well as many other jobs in the area that will make this even more interesting place to be.
Don't wait until people that are looking for the opportunities beat you looking into a place like Houston for new opportunities, new careers. Job search sites like jobtonic.com offers a great opportunity as not only have their own postings but also are able to show postings from many other sites, so you can get even more opportunities on a growing and fascinating market.

Craft FairPaintingsPosted by Debbie Craddock 18 Mar, 2018 17:13
This is my stall at Flitton's Craft Fair today in Wallington. It was a very friendly place with lots of regular stall holders who were very welcoming. I didn't expect the weather to be freezing with snow on the ground in March but we had some customers and I sold some cards. I am hoping to attend again in May when hopefully the weather will be better.

Being ill after the JK meant that my preparation for NOC was far from ideal. With about a week and a half to go before the first race, I resumed training and felt awful. I ran a short fell race and came 3rd (feeling awful). My housemate won it - the first time he has ever beaten me in a race. I finally started feeling better at the weekend. Liis and I went up to the Lake District to chill out and do a couple of small races. Saturday was a short race on a really hilly area - Lingmoor. After the race we sunbathed on the top of the hill on the map (SW corner). We also saw a sheep giving birth to two lambs.
Sunday we took part in a race on Harrop Tarn. I felt really good, cruising for the first 3/4 then pushing it towards the end.
Liis and I also went to the wedding of Jules and Becca Simpson, who live in our town and we train with every week. They got married in York and we spent the weekend there.
The Champs
I arrived on Bornholme on Monday evening, with plenty of time before the first race on Thursday. I missed TIOmila to concentrate on NOC, and that meant I was able to be fully recovered from my sickness. I did a couple of good sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday, and by Thursday I felt pretty good.
I ran a good sprint race, and I think I picked all but one of the best route choices (missed the best route to number 12 by the sea front). I finished in 11th position which I was pretty happy with.
The relay was the race I was most nervous about. Running first leg with Jon Duncan and Jamie Stevenson, it was the first time we had had a full strength GB team since I broke into the relay team. The start was manic, with the first 2 controls forked in some green forest. I managed to get through them, then it was a case of keeping up with the pack through some really fast open forest (very spring cup like). I didn't miss any controls and just kept up, then suddenly approaching the 11th control everybody seemed to be heading the wrong way. I assumed there was a forking and ran to my control. After that I seemed to be pretty much alone. After the next gaffle (in the green again) I was running on my own. I made a small mistake to the spectator control but went through in the lead. I really didn't want to mess it up after that and slowed down a bit - letting some other runners catch me up. I managed to make it to the last control first, but was overtaken on the run it. Jon and Jamie ran OK and we finished 6th.
The middle race was a disaster, I was hopeless and lost time at lots of controls.
I decided to take the classic easy, and maybe not even do it all after being ill before the champs. I just cruised round, and I was enjoying it so much, I ran the whole race (although I was well behind the winners). I really enjoyed the orienteering on Borneholm, although the island itself is a bit sleepy.

The BSA has education websites aimed at parents, teachers, and Early Years workers.
For parents of children who stammer: the Expert Parent site, and a newer website on the revised Special Educational Needs Code and stammering,
For teachers: www.stammeringineducation.net, and
- For Early Years workers: www.stammering.org/earlyyears
For parents: Expert Parent website
Our Expert Parent resource, www.stammering.org/expertparent, gives parents detailed guidance on getting the best support for their child during preschool and school years.
Produced by Cherry, the resource launched in late August 2011. There was previously nothing available to parents that brings all the information that they may need together in easily accessible form.
The resource is wide-ranging and comprehensive so that parents have the information to work productively with the preschool, or school staff, and if necessary challenge their decisions. Topics covered for example include admissions policies, the complexities of the curriculum and examinations system, and policies on special educational needs, teasing and bullying.
For parents: Special Educational Needs Code and stammering
A new (2016) guide for parents of children who stammer on how to use the Special Educational Needs and Disability Code of Practice (SEND) in England. www.stammering.org/send
It includes Early Years settings, Primary Schools and Secondary Schools.
For teachers: stammeringineducation.net
Our online education resource www.stammeringineducation.net houses online updated versions of all our education CDs for England and Scotland, produced by BSA Education Officer Cherry Hughes.
The website shows best practice for teachers and school staff when working with pupils who stammer, plus tips and techniques for English oral work. Like the original CDs, it includes video and audio clips of children who stammer, teachers and therapists, as well as classroom situations.
In November 2010, BSA presented stammeringineducation.net at a lunchtime reception in Speakers House, House of Commons.
For Early Years workers
This new website (2016) is for staff working with children in Early Years settings. www.stammering.org/earlyyears
It offers information about stammering, with simple strategies that may be used in the Early Years setting to support children who stammer and thereby include them in all the activities of the setting.

Summer English Language Intensive
For students entering grades 7-12
June 30 – August 3, 2019
Stoneleigh-Burnham's English Language Intensive (ELI) is a five-week course of study aimed at helping non-native speakers improve their English listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
To prepare students for a successful start at US Boarding Schools, ELI offers much more than academic instruction. Daily American Culture classes and regional travel teach our students about US traditions and customs. Our careful orientation to dormitory life prepares our students for both their high school and college years. Students completing the ELI program leave confident, and more prepared to meaningfully integrate and make the most of their new school experiences.
Our all-girls community and caring teachers help our students acclimate quickly and take healthy risks in the classroom. As a result, ELI girls embrace challenges and leadership more readily.
Students preparing for 11th and 12th grades may return to the program for an emphasis on leadership development, preparing for standardized tests (such as the TOEFL), and advanced writing support especially relevant to advanced coursework and college admissions.
ELI is led by a team of Stoneleigh-Burnham's humanities faculty and teaching interns. In addition to classroom instruction, our faculty lead recreational activities, supervise travel, and oversee the residence halls. All staff are chosen for their experience teaching international students, their teaching ability, and their commitment to girls education in an international community.
Stoneleigh-Burnham School's EL program has a long history of helping students meet their goals of finding success in US boarding schools, and eventually gaining admission to selective universities.
ELI Program Features
- Competitive admission and limited enrollment at each skill level
- Diagnostic testing and placement in appropriate skill levels
- Small class sizes, offering individual attention
- Demonstrated success improving students' English proficiency
- Personalized progress reports, including teacher's comments
- Extra help sessions and supervised evening study hall
- Trips to New England cultural centers, such as Boston, Cape Cod National Seashore, Tanglewood Music Festival, and prestigious U.S. colleges and universities
- Afternoon recreational activities, from crafts to sports
A sample daily schedule includes:
7:30 am Breakfast in the Dining Hall
8:30 am English class
10:30 am Science class
12:00 pm Lunch in the Dining Hall
1:00 pm American Culture class
2:30 pm Extracurricular activities: Photography, Sports, Cooking, Literature

TTT Review
Rosemary and Thyme shared this beautiful fall tablescape. I love the plaid and the really cute little apple baskets. So pretty.
There are some things that you just have to see to believe. This chair is a fabulous case in point.
Remodelando la Casa redid this chair and it is stunning.
Then how fun is this to decorate and create such cute figures with Hedge Apples. You have to see all of the ways Carol's Heirloom Collections uses them in her decor. Some super elegant and some just fun.
I love to decorate with wheat and have several bundles that are my favorite, so when I saw this arrangement that Dining Delight created, I swooned. She gives a super tutorial also.
No Place Like Our Home shared a complete home tour. Everything is so beautiful, you really need to visit her and see how lovely her home is for the Fall season.
Thank you to everyone that always link up and share your latest creations. They are so fun to see and I am constantly in awe of all the talent. See you this evening for our next TTT.

Tomorrow (Monday), the Syracuse James Joyce Club celebrates its 15th annual Bloomsday celebration by holding a 10+ hour marathon of Joyce writings. We asked some of those scheduled to read at the event about their relationship with the weighty novel, teh Joyce club and the Bloomsday event. A few of their answers ran in the paper. Here's the rest:
Richard Long of Auburn, writer and former Herald-Journal reporter and founding member of the Joyce club:
"The book is an absolute feast of literary and world history from the days of the Greeks and Romans to the present time; it is sublime to the ridiculous -- going from esoteric discussions of Hamlet to rousing and profane Dublin pubs; it is a love story -- of two people -- Leo and Molly Bloom -- and how their failed marriage seems to survive at the end when Molly utters her historic 'Yes.' "
Katheryn J. Guyette of Cicero, actress:
"I am a local actress and thought it would be a different and interesting venue, vs. the stage performance I usually participate in. ... I have never read 'Ulysses' before, and (I'm) really looking forward to the reading."
Kathleen Costello-Sullivan of Syracuse, assistant professor of Modern Irish Literature and director of the Irish minor program at Le Moyne College:
"I have read ('Ulysses') and am planning to read it again. It is a ground-breaking, brilliant work, a classic, and one of a kind!"
Michael Connor, executive editor of The Post-Standard:
"Why do it? Because it contains multitudes of experience and language. Because it changed the novel. Because at moments it is poetry: 'The heaven-tree of stars hung with humid night-blue fruit.' And, as the climbers say, because it's there."

The Commodore 64 and Atari Flashback 4 are Bringing the Past into the Future [UPDATED]
I remember is school we used those big bulky Apple and Commodore 64 computers with one color (green) screens and they only printed in dot matrix. Well back in my day that's all we had. Times have definitely changed. We now have super fast laser jet printers and full color screens. However, the Commodore 64 is back!!The new Commodore 64 computer comes in the same color and style as the original but everything else, including the technology has been updated. It won't come with Windows(although you can download it) but will run a Linux system instead. I don't know what all that means because I'm still pretty computer illiterate. I do know it will play all the games as before, just like in the 80's!
The past isn't forgotten, however: The company claims that consumers will be able to play all their favorite 8-bit era games within seconds of turning the Commodore 64 on, by running software that emulates the original operating system.
- Breakout
- Crystal Castles
- Football
- Front Line
- Jungle Hunt
- Polaris
- Pong
- Return to Haunted House
- Slot Machine
- Slot Racers
- Space Invaders (Not the original 2600 version)
- Stellar Track
- Street Racer
- Tempest
- Warlords
So would you buy the New Commodore 64 or Atari Flashback 4? If for no other reason than to recapture your childhood.

Central Laboratory for Radiological Protection - CLOR, Warsaw, Poland
(former chair of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (1981–82) . He was a principal investigator of three research projects of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and of four research projects of the International Atomic Energy Agency. He has held posts with the Centre d'Etude Nucleaires near Paris; the Biophysical Group of the Institute of Physics, University of Oslo; the Norwegian Polar Research Institute and the National Institute for Polar Research in Tokyo.)
re: Chernobyl
(4) Psychosomatic disorders and the screening effects were the only detectable health consequences among the general population.
Fighting the panic and mass hysteria could be regarded as the most important countermeasure to protect the public against the effects of a similar accident should it occur again.
(5) This was the worst possible catastrophe of a badly constructed nuclear reactor, with a complete meltdown of the reactor core, followed by the ten-days long completely free emission of radionuclides into the atmosphere. Nothing worse could happen. It resulted in a comparatively small occupational death toll, amounting to about half of that of each weekend's traffic in Poland, and tens or hundreds of times lower than that of many other industrial catastrophes, and it is unlikely that any fatalities were caused by radiation among the public. In the centuries to come, the Chernobyl catastrophe will be seen as a proof that nuclear power is a safe means of energy production.

Since childhood Kegan had always felt that something was wrong; she was a girl, but felt drawn to behaving like a boy. Later in life, Kegan decided to do something about her problem. She opted for surgery that would change her life and body completely; she became a man. On the surface, Juno was a picture of success; he had been married for 29 years and had a PhD in biophysics, but never felt completely at ease. He too took the bold decision to realign his gender. This new documentary, by RT America correspondent and director Alexey Brazhnikov, delves into transgender life in the US and explores how people face their problems, past, present and future.
Related: TransReality - a documentary series filmed in Russia
Sometimes a person understands that they do not feel comfortable with their gender. They may decide, through such means as surgery or hormone therapy, change their gender. Or they may simply wear differently clothes and carry themselves in a different way. These people are known as transgender.
RT Docs correspondent Alexey Brazhnikov examines the lives of several transgendered individuals in America.
Kegan is a hair dresser, actor, and performer. He was also born a woman, and through testosterone injections has transitioned to a man. Hormone injections are common for transgendered individuals. These chemicals change the body, including hair growth, voice, and muscle mass. He has a girlfriend who accepts that he is transgender.
Related: A Methodist pastor defrocked for standing up for his homosexual children
Juno was born a man. He has been married for 29 years and has a Ph.D. in biophysics. However, he has begun his transition into becoming a woman. He opts to use hormone therapy via a patch. He remains married to his wife, but only as a means to support her, as she is disabled.
Studies show that 1/3 of transgendered individuals commit suicide. Both Kegan and Juno lament that people who struggle with their gender are met with so many difficulties in life.
For example, transgendered women (that is, a man who transitioned into a woman), have the stereotype of mostly being prostitutes or drug addicts. However, Juno and his partner Marcilla, who is a retired Special Forces soldier and herself a transgendered woman, explain that this is a result of the fact that many people are unwilling to hire a transgendered person for a legitimate job.

Chapter 9 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
Chapter 10 1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.6 Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry.15 I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.16 The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.18 Behold Israel after the flesh: are not they which eat of the sacrifices partakers of the altar?19 What say I then? that the idol is any thing, or that which is offered in sacrifice to idols is any thing?20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

That's true, I mean I love all these new lower budget horror movies being made. In a lot of cases they actually turn out being scarier.
I think part of the problem is CG. More CG = less make up and props and what not. I can say with some certinty that I hate CG. Well not really hate it, I just hate when big budget movie makers use it because they're lazy. CG should have one purpose. To show things that are either immpossible or unfeasible to create manually. Not to do everything because you're lazy. Perfect example is the Alien movies.
The first one scared the piss out of me, and the second one is arguably one of the scariest movies of all time. After that they turned into a joke. Why? Because CG is used so much we can all tell it. Even the best CG still looks fake, and as movie goers, that takes away from the movie, and makes it seem silly. I have a lot more respect for a movie that takes the time to make a convincing suit, and use make up, or even a puppet (like the Alien Queen) than I do for a movie that uses CG for everything.
Sorry, I kinda went off on a rant there. Anyway who knows. I'd love for a whole whack of new makeup artists to take over the scene, and it seems like there's a new zombie movie in theatres every other weekend. So there's definetley a lot of make up needing to be done. I guess we just need to get people motivated. Which is one of the many reasons why this site is so great.
It'll be interesting to see how World Zombie day plays out this year. If it all goes well it should attract a fair amount of media attention. Having that many zombie walks all going off at the same time worldwide would definetly create a buzz. If it plays out the way I hope it will, it'll be interesting to see what happens the following day. The next generation of Tom Savini's could be a mere 92 days away from being discovered.

Category:W Series
From ThinkWiki
ThinkPad W series
The W series was developed as a workstation machine line, which was supposed to be a placeholder for the lack of a T500p, T510p, etc. They were also assembled with graphics chips that were better than their T series counterparts, which was the only difference that separated them from the T series. Other than that, they were completely identical in appearance and functionality. This excludes the special W70x models, however.

You will not wake up tomorrow. Sorry and congratulations.
First, of course, there is no "you" to be awake. I don't want to belabor this because I know everyone talks about this and many have described it far better than I. However, because it is so important (important in the sense that, once seen, you'll stop reading all of these blogs and books and finally take the time to fix that screen door that you've neglected for the past few years!), allow me to add my own pointing, such as it is, anyway.
This idea of ourselves that we typically refer to as "me, mine, I, etc." is just that - an idea. By "idea," I mean it is a thought that occurs only in a moment and then is gone. It reappears hundreds of millions of times, but it still only occurs in a moment. Read that again. The "I," the "me," the "myself," is just a thought that occurs at an instant and then dissolves as easily and as effortlessly and as unintentionally as it appeared.
Any argument against this is just more thinking, more ideas occurring moment-by-moment; now, here in this instant; now gone. Whatever thought is occurring in this moment is no different than the thought of "I, me, mine." What you are reading now is just thought, more ideas arising in this moment. Now here. Now gone.
Any thought, any idea can point us back to seeing this impermanence arising and dissolving right now. We just need to stop long enough to see it happen. It is not hidden. Or, if it is, it is hidden in plain sight. We are usually so mesmerized by thought that we don't notice the obviousness and effervescence of seeing now. It is only another idea that tells us that we don't yet see. See?
However, back to the point of this note. What has really struck me about all of this lately is the "momentary-ness" of seeing. We can't see tomorrow (of course, there is really no "tomorrow" either, but let's not go there for now!). We can't wake up tomorrow. Awareness/Seeing is only available now...and now...and now...
Everything is always just this moment. There is no such thing as as "your life" or "my life" - there is just livingness in this moment.
This is the good news. We can stop the work to wake up tomorrow. It won't happen. It is utterly and completely futile to live as though it will. It is a fool's errand. Waking up tomorrow is a mirage. But now, see this! This is it! Rest here, now.
There never has been and there never will be another opportunity to recognize the Seeing/Awaring that is here now other than in this moment. Forget what your thinking is telling you right now. Forget it! Leave it alone. Whatever thought is telling you, leave it alone! You are already home. Seeing/Awakeness is what you are. Don't buy anything else thought attempts to sell you. Just rest in this instant and see.

My kitchen cupboard is full of really boring, plain Ikea glasses and I've been saying to my husband for ages "we really need to get some nice, new glasses" so I was thrilled when we got the chance to try some multipurpose glasses by Ozeri. The Ozeri Curva Artisan Series Glasses are double wall thermo glasses made of heat and shatter resistant borosilicate glass which is stronger and more durable than common glass.
The double walled glasses keep your hands cool with hot drinks and condensation free with chilled beverages and are dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe.
The glasses are great for coffee, cappuccinos, hot or iced tea, cocktails, frozen beverages or as gorgeous little dessert pots.
I love how you can use them for hot and cold drinks and they're really light weight, I'm so impressed with them. I've had so many compliments on them since we've had them, everyone loves them.
If you're looking for some new multipurpose glasses then I thoroughly recommend these, if you'd like to buy these for yourself or a really cool gift for someone then click here.

Data compilations and statistical frameworks
European Statistical Works on Culture (ESSnet 2011)
Between 2009 and 2011, ESSnet-Culture (the European cultural statistics network under the aegis of EUROSTAT) maintained four working groups in defining a statistical reference framework for culture, designed for cultural finance and cultural expenditure, cultural and employment sectors, and ultimately for cultural practices and their social aspects. ESSnet has drawn up a number of methodological recommendations to ensure better comparability of cultural statistics between member states. This text - written by Valérie Deroin (French ministry of Culture and Communication - DEPS) - is a summary document extracted from the draft final report of ESSnet-culture and the accounts of the task forces animated by Vladimir Bina, Philippe Chantepie, Valérie Deroin, Guy Frank, Kutt Kommel, Josef Kotynec and Philippe Robin.

text: We don't use the word genius often, but this clip is too sheer to resist. How do you get a bunch of people to pay attention to a wildly sensitive environmental issue? Narrate your story over A+ surf clips! In Let Us Be Free, we learn about the proposed oil fracking in Northern New South Wales. And we learn that — like most things oil — it would suck for everyone. Dave Rastovich and friends are protesting the project, and getting barreled while they do so. Really makes you wonder what kind of success Al Gore would have if he re-released An Inconvenient Truth with some new John John footage.

With smartphones as powerful and versatile as they are it can be difficult for manufacturers to introduce something different, desirable and compelling to use.
The G2 from LG has some different and desirable features.
On the face of it, the G2 looks similar to other high end smartphones. However, look a little closer and the unique features of the G2 start to become more evident.
Let us start with the lack of buttons on the side or top of the device. The controls for the G2 sit under the camera on the back of the phone. They sit in the position where most peoples' index fingers will fall when holding a phone, so they are appropriately placed for quick access.
You can control the power,the volume, launch QuickMemo or the camera with a long press on either the up or down key.
Quickly power the screen on without touching the power button. Simply tap twice on the screen to activate and twice to turn off, that is LG's KnockON feature.
A dominant feature of this device is the 5.2 inch Full HD display which makes it larger than the S4 but smaller than the screen of the Note 2 from Samsung. With a bezel around the edge of the screen measuring just 2.65mm on each side there isn't any excess profiling to the G2, size and weight have been minimised.
A large screen often needs more power and the G2 has a in built 3000mAh battery which has been designed to maximise the internal space of the device whilst keeping it as thin as possible. LG also employs Graphic RAM technology to reduce the energy used by the screen, which will reduce energy usage by up to 26% so even more battery life is conserved.
We use our mobiles for so many purposes now,aside from making phone calls. The large display is excellent for web browsing and social media interactions when paired with the numerous connectivity options that the G2 has, but media also plays an important part.
The G2 is the first smartphone to feature 24 bit/192KHz Hi-Fi playback through the on board speakers to produce playback quality better than that of a CD.
Positioned above the rear controls is a 13 megapixel camera with auto focus, LED flash, 1080p HD video recording @60fps and Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) technology to reduce blurring and help capture a brighter and sharper final image.
It isn't all about the hardware though; the software is just as important.
Android 4.2.2 is installed out of the box so the user interface will be intuitive and customisable and you will discover many of your favourite apps pre-installed. Or if they are missing, just download them from Google Play Store.
On top of this LG have added their own tweaks to enhance your user experience and make the G2 a more practical everyday solution.
All of this is powered by a quad-core 2.26GHz processor and is backed up by 2GB RAM and 16 or 32GB of internal memory.
The G2 is a stylish and powerful smartphone with the features you desire.

On a hot summer's day, Kyosuke's grandfather pays the family a visit, bringing with him some fresh vegetables and fish from the country. Kyosuke, bemoaning the fact that he's forced to study during what should be his summer vacation, wishes that he might be a cat, or perhaps even a goldfish, just so he could escape the rigours of school. But, as they say, "be careful what you wish for -- you may get it..." Kurumi, rummaging through her grandfather's bag, comes across something unusual: a magic rope. A rope that can exchange the souls of any two being who hold the opposite ends. But when the twins don't believe their grandfather, he sees little choice but to prove his claims...
Meanwhile, Kyosuke has had enough work for the day, and plans to spend the evening with Madoka and Hikaru at a local festival. That is until a slight accident occurs between him, the rope and a most unsuspecting goldfish...

How to be a Responsible Online Gambler
Gambling online or casinos online is one of the most popular and uprising gambling nowadays. Instead of going to the actual Casinos, you can just bet and play online. This way, you don't need to spend time travelling and at the same time your money is safe since you won't need to bring it with you.
For some, gambling is considered to be illegal but because there are already government intermediaries, there are websites who were granted licenses to operate online just like the usual casinos you find along the busy streets in your city.
But gambling will need you to spend money and a lot of it. So how do you become a responsible gambler?
Since gambling needs your money, you must be eligible to play and therefore, have the luxury of money. This money should not be part of your savings or intended for personal needs. The money that you should be spending must belong in your luxury fund or entertainment fund. You cannot risk your own personal money intended for your basic needs because that will only show that you are not eligible to play online gambling.
Once you have the luxury money with you, you must know the rules and regulations in playing online gambling. You don't just join without having any idea how it works, right? Being a responsible gambler should know how these online casinos work or else, you might put your money to waste or worse, your life.
Once you know the rules, you must also check what online gambling sites are legit. There are those hoax sites that will only rob you. You must be very vigilant and wise when it comes to choosing a legit website or else you will really be in great danger.
Once you have established and learned
more info
, you can now start playing. But again, during your games, you still have to be responsible which means that you must not spend beyond your allotted fund. For instance, if you lose, stop playing. If you win, bet for the remaining money you have and set aside your winning money.
As a responsible online gambler when you
view website
, you must know how to work your money well without sacrificing your personal life. Remember that gambling is purely leisure and entertainment and it must not be your source of income or else you will have a miserable life. You don't want to ruin your life and your loved ones, right?

In 2016, Hanukkah will be celebrated from the evening of December 24 through the evening of January 1. Whether you're looking for a kosher option for yourself or just trying to stock a variety of options to accommodate all your holiday guests, there are a number of festive brews to choose from this year.
What is Kosher Beer?Kosher beer is beer that is brewed in accordance with traditional Jewish dietary laws. Beer can be acceptable without certification as long as it meets certain guidelines, according to Star-K. In the United States, Star-K approves domestic and imported beers.
Regular beer – brewed with water, grain, yeast, and hops – is generally kosher. These types of beers are acceptable without a certification. Many craft beers and seasonal beers, however, take a more creative approach to brewing, and the addition of other ingredients requires certification to ensure the resulting beers are kosher or fit for consumption by those following traditional Jewish law. Beers brewed in a pub or home brewery and English Milk Stouts also need to be certified.
The beers listed below are marked approved in Star-K's comprehensive beer list.
Star-K Approved Selections for HanukkahFortunately for those who enjoy toasting the season with a cold one, observant Jews have plenty of options for indulging in festive winter beers that adhere to kosher standards.
Samuel Adams Winter LagerSamuel Adams kicks up the spice and the flavor with its kosher Winter Lager. "Warm and festive" according to its label, the Winter Lager is a great option for the winter holidays. The Winter Lager is a bock style beer brewed based on traditional German beer-making methods. It includes special seasonal ingredients – cinnamon, orange peel, and ginger – to help spice up the season.
Widely distributed and only available during the winter, the Winter Lager has a 5.6% ABV and is calorie-dense, with 192 calories per 12 oz. BeerAdvocate.com rated it "good" with a score of 82.
Gordon Biersch Brewery Winter BockEstablished in San Jose, Ca., Gordon Biersch's restaurants and bars are staples in cities and even airports across the U.S. The popular chain appeals to its observant Jewish patrons with the Winter Bock. A seasonal brew, available November through January, the Winter Bock is a richer, heftier choice than the Winter Lager. Doppelbocks like this one were brewed as far back as the 11th century by monks seeking sustenance during winter fasts, and this one's nearly as filling, clocking in at 225 calories per 12 ounces.
Gordon Biersch compares its German-style Winterbock to the aroma of pumpernickel bread, with notes of caramel, dates, and spicy hops. With an ABV of 7.5%, the Winterbock is a little more potent than Winter Lager. It also received a "good" ranking of 84 on BeerAdvocate.com, although the site's founders, the Bros, consider it "very good" with a rating of 85 out of a possible 100.
Boulevard Brewing Nutcracker AleThough its name may sound Christmas themed, Boulevard Brewing's Nutcracker Ale is a holiday gift for any beer lover. This kosher winter specialty beer has a warming 7.8% ABV and notes of caramel, toffee, and spicy hop flavor. Nutcracker Ale is available annually October through December. It features a "very good" rating of 87 (out of 100) on BeerAdvocate.com.
We hope you have a happy Hanukkah and holiday season sipping on delicious Kosher beer. While not certified kosher, Berghoff Beer offers a variety of classic beer with exciting American twists. Learn more about our winter ale here and use our beer finder below to find Berghoff Beer near you!

You can check good guide about Gaming Mouse 2017 later here. Should you're a severe PC gamer, you then in all probability pay extra attention than most people to your mouse's responsiveness. How effectively it retains up along with your frantic movements and the way customizable it is to fulfill your specific gaming habits are key components in figuring out what makes or breaks a mouse in terms of your gaming wants.
For those with double clicking points. Its usually brought on by dust/mud/food/whatever on the contacts. Give the mouse some canned air, or blow into the cracks fastidiously. Sucking/Vacuuming the crud out of it usually solves the problem. (Supply: Nonetheless utilizing a Razer Naga Molten. Problem occurred with me twice on two different mice. The primary one I wrecked by taking it aside needlessly. The tape covering the screws never adhered appropriately afterwards. Causing drag on the mousepad.) Do yourself a favor and just give your mouse a blowjob when its double clicking. This works like a attraction and saves you all of the fuss taking it aside. If the contacts damaged inside you can too glue it again in place. I had to do this for my fathers mouse since he manhandled the left click on to the point it broke off and did not register.
In the case of the RGB LED lighting, the scroll wheel, the side buttons, and the ROG brand are illuminated and have six cool presets that may be modified utilizing the ROG Armoury Dashboard software program: Static, Breathing, Shade Cycling, Set off, Random, and Battery modes. The mouse itself gives built-in flash memory in order that users can save as much as five profiles and take them wherever the mouse goes.
And that, for those which were round for some time, must be more than enough – the popularity of this name alone carries loads of weight. See, the unique Diamondback, which was launched around a decade ago, was the world's first optical gaming mouse.
Conversely, the button underneath the scrollwheel is quite difficult to click on, even once I was making an attempt to make use of it. I'd also remark that it is extremely simple to by accident cycle the DPI unintentionally with the location of the four button.
Utilizing the same sensor because the Zowie FK2 and 1, the Corsair M45 is one other strong possibility for FPS avid gamers. Whereas it is a bit longer than the G9X, it has some of the similar shape to it. Weight customization together with weight tuning also means it appeals to many.
The overall design is close to-ambidextrous and will probably be utilized by a left-handed gamer, however it does characteristic some small finger rests, so it is more geared in direction of proper handers. Its shape, though, is designed to cater to all grip sorts, making it helpful for players in a range of genres.… Read the rest

KidsRead: The Beast of Cretacea by Todd Strasser
Monday February 22, 2016
11:00 am
For this KidsRead event, we welcomed Todd Strasser and 6th and 7th grade students!
About The Beast of Cretacea (Candlewick Press)
Our Junior Edition columnist, Celia McGee says: "It isn't until page 27 that the 17-year-old at the center of another remarkable Todd Strasser book utters, 'My name is Ishmael.' Just as well that his introduction isn't word-for-word the famous opening line of Herman Melville's Moby-Dick—that complicated, masterfully difficult, anachronistic-sounding, symbol-laden and extremely weighty work known to strike many high-school and college students merely as once-over-quickly required reading. Strasser, though, clearly a close repeat reader, has taken Melville's incomparable fiction seriously and ingeniously to heart as the inspiration for the marvelously imaginative The Beast of Cretacea.
Strasser pumps betrayal into the very air of the swath of Earth where his Ishmael lives, a bitter, dystopian, desiccated and dying place, where children—mostly "foundlings"—come of age believing this is all there is to their planet, its end hastened by perilous and life-shortening work in coal mines that figure into the production of artificial oxygen allotted in shrinking amounts to their portion of the human race. Little wonder that several generations of young people have volunteered for "missions" to other planets that could hold life-saving resources to keep humankind from annihilation, or offer it new homes. Just as any undertaking must have a goal, any journey must have a destination, and for Ishmael, along with four fellow foundlings named Queequeg, Pip, Billy and Gwen, it's the planet Cretacea.
About Todd Strasser
Todd Strasser is the author of many award-winning YA novels, including The Wave, Give a Boy a Gun, and Fallout, which the New York Times called, "Superb entertainment... and gripping suspense." Of his newest novel, The Beast of Cretacea, Publisher's Weekly said the book is, "Equal parts Moby-Dick retelling, environmental cautionary tale, and coming-of-age story, Strasser's fantastical SF epic blends disparate pieces into a harmonious whole." Todd's Help! I'm Trapped In … middle-grade series has sold more than 5 million copies world-wide. He has also written for The New Yorker, Esquire, and The New York Times. Several of his books have been adapted for film and TV. Learn more about him at toddstrasser.com

The holidays seem to be safe for my patients and clients – no emergency calls so far. Those animals and people who are the healthiest can tolerate more of the holiday stressors. If you are having some problems – remember the flower essences as they are wonderful for emotional states.
A woman just called asking where she could purchase Glycoflex for people. Her daughter had given it to her and she felt miraculously better while taking it. She was not sure where to order more of it. I showed her how to navigate to My Favorite Animal Products page – guess I need to call it my favorite products page – and click on the VetriScience logo. Then by scrolling down to "Other Products" she found the two Glycoflex products for people. If you have joint health issues – try Glycoflex for the new year.
The New Year is a good time to pull out the Early Warning Signs from the web site or from your Healthy Animal's Journal and review your animal's health. I recommend having an intuitive/psychic do an energy check twice a year, and a veterinary exam yearly – no vaccines, though. Review your Master Symptom List and the Early Warning Signs on a regular basis. Our goal is to have no symptoms and be on few supplement and no treatments. Email me if you need a health assessment appointment (for people reading this update, you will get $20 off your next appointment in January.)
The wonderful World of Pets Expo in Timonium, MD, will be January 28, 29 and 30. You can sign up for a 2 hour seminar with me (we usually go even longer) and can bring your dog as well. www.WorldofPets.org
Chicago is in the works for a homeopathy class. Bowie, MD is probably having an acupuncture and homeopathy two week class. If you want a class in your area, email me.
