This past week I have been a bit under the weather and was looking for a soothing snack. I decided to make my own frozen yoghurt, but with coconut yoghurt. I added the raspberries for their antioxidants and the ginger to help my immune system (and to scare away my cold) – it seems to have worked a treat!
This frozen coconut yoghurt is the perfect dish to eat when you're sick or to cool you down this coming summer.
Frozen raspberry ginger coconut yoghurt
Serves 1
- 1/2 cup frozen raspberries
- 1/2 cup coconut yoghurt
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- Place all ingredients in a blender/food processor.
- Blend/process for 3-5 minutes until well combined.
- Serve and eat immediately. Enjoy!
What soothing snacks do you eat when sick?

On Wednesday, Miss K introduced a variation on the gingerbread man theme: The Gingerbread Baby. She began by reading The Gingerbread Man story from the previous day, and then she read the new version. Then she and the kids did a lesson in comparing and contrasting using - of all things - a Venn diagram (remember those?):
Of course, the kids love anything having to do with babies, so they enjoyed the retelling of the classic story. As for independent work, recently I had seen a lot of posts about lacing beads onto pipe cleaners. When I saw this craft in Family Fun Magazine, I set it up right away:
OK, so ours didn't look quite like the ones in the magazine, but when do they ever? This was a great activity for the two-year-olds, because the pipe cleaners hold their shape, unlike string.
For Arts & Crafts, Miss K brought in a gingerbread man "glyph" she made. Basically, she gave each kid a gingerbread man print-out, and then they had to follow her instructions and color the gingerbread man accordingly (if you're a boy, color the gingerbread man's nose blue; if you're a girl, color his nose pink).
We closed with the M verse and story from My ABC Bible Verses: "My little children, let us not love one another in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth." 1 John 3:18.

Top 10 German Undiscovered Startups
[Updated on January 9th, 2018]
Government support, lower costs and talent-attractive cities as Berlin are just few of the reasons that led to Germany to rank #9 on the Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking and #2 in Europe.
Much has been said about the home of Rocket Internet and Germany's striving startup scene. However, because of such proliferation of startups, a large number of companies are growing under the radar. We believe they deserve to be discovered, and who knows, maybe one day become the champions of the German economy!
Why these companies?
These companies displayed exceptional performance on important success factors – strength of the team, size of the opportunity, competitive environment, etc. – while not being on the radar of investors and media websites.
Most competitions are biased towards companies that reached the largest number of milestones. While being quite common, we tried to avoid this bias, and reward companies on abnormal performance in peer groups based on sector, size and development stage.
The List
So here it is, the top 10 undiscovered startups from Germany:
1| YOODOC - not active anymore
YOODOC is the first healthcare treatment finder on the web. We list all types of doctors and treatments: How much does a dental crown cost in Munich and how much in Berlin? Where can I get physiotherapy in my neighborhood? What options do I have for laser eye surgery? YOODOC is not only a great information and booking platform for patients but also a perfect marketing tool for physicians or therapists seeking new patients and digital visibility for their practice.

"I need a dump truck to unload my head," Bob Dylan proclaimed in Highway 61 Revisited's "From A Buick 6." Today's Minneapolis Star Tribune has the latest memorable installment of this summers's return to Murderapolis. The story doesn't report whether the call was made from the trunk of a Buick 6, but after reading about it, I need a dump truck to unload my head: "Shooting victim calls cops from trunk during car chase."

The Right Voice Over Artists For Your Advertisements
If you're about to start advertising your business, I bet you've considered all kinds of things:
- How your business is different from all the others
- How you can word your advertisements so they say the right thing
- How you can attract new customers via special offers
- How you can welcome new customers and encourage them to stay loyal
- And I bet you've thought of one hundred different ways to make your business a success
The trouble is that you can work your hardest when it comes to advertising, and you can do your very best to make sure potential customers are aware of your offers and deals, but if you cannot get one very important aspect of advertising right, you may miss out on big business.
Professional Voice Over Artists are hard to come by, but there are a few out there with the talent and diversity to get you the attention you need, no matter what you are selling. The right voice over artist can deliver a message to your target audience in a manner that connects with them on a deep, profound level. Whether it be for radio, a jingle a television ad or something else, choose the right voice over artists is very important.
We have all heard those well-known jingles that stick in our heads and drive us crazy. These jingles done by amazing voice over artists clearly advertise one specific product or service, and they advertise them well. The jingles you're so used to hearing have become somewhat of a household name, and that's something every business wants.

Initial consultation and follow-up visits are provided in our office. A nurse practitioner may be involved in the consultation along with one of our physicians. We try to review previous records, including prior laboratory and x-ray studies. When we have completed our evaluation, we carefully review our findings and recommendations with you. Please feel free to ask questions at any time regarding tests, treatment or other aspects of your care. A full report of our findings and suggested treatment is sent to your referring or primary care physician.
Many patients who are referred to Southeastern Indiana Gastroenterology, LLC require some type of endoscopic procedure. Endoscopy refers to the use of an instrument (an endoscope) to directly examine the digestive system and to take biopsies from the lining. Certain treatment procedures can also be performed through endoscopy such as controlling gastrointestinal bleeding, growth or polyp removal, removal of bile duct stones, dilation of the esophagus and placement of stents within the bile duct and esophagus.
These are all outpatient procedures, usually done with sedation so patients feel little if any discomfort.
Our staff consists of carefully selected and specifically trained individuals in reception, triage, phone, scheduling, medical records, insurance and medical office administration. We work as a team with our physicians to offer courteous, compassionate and professional services to our patients. Caring, helping and listening are our guiding forces.
As a courtesy to you, our insurance department will file your primary claim. They will file your fees in the office for consultation, follow-up care and any professional fees for the procedures performed. Our insurance staff is specially trained to file and follow up on your insurance coverage.
Our fees are charged in two primary services:
- Consultation and office visits are charged to reflect the extent or complexity of the condition which prompts your referral to us.
- If an endoscopic procedure is performed, there is a professional fee, which is the physician's charge for performing the procedure.
You should be aware that when your procedure is performed at the hospital, the hospital will charge their fee. In addition, when biopsies are obtained and specimens are sent for tissue analysis, you will receive a separate bill from the pathologists for their services.
Medicare: We do accept assignment on Medicare. We are paid 80% of a Medicare-approved amount for your charges. You will be expected to pay the remaining 20% of Medicare's approved amount, either with supplementary insurance or personal payment.

Pre-certification: We will assist you in obtaining appropriate pre-certification for procedures that we schedule. Medicaid: Patients who have Medicaid or qualify for medical assistance must present a current eligibility card on the day of your visit. You will be expected to pay your co-payment, if applicable, on the day of your visit.
Alternative Payment Plan: If you have specific financial problems or needs, please make us aware of these so that alternative payment systems can be worked out with you at the time of your visit. We do not want the fee itself to deter you from receiving appropriate evaluation and treatment.

This is the strangest thing ever happened to me...
I have an external harddisk drive (ext-HDD), bought around 2 years ago (don't know whether this is an important issue or not).
Here, I have a video file (
.avi) in my internal harddisk dive (HDD), it worked very well, then I copy it to my ext-HDD, but I couldn't run the file directly from my ext-HDD! I tried to copy it back to my HDD (from the ext-HDD), and now the copy couldn't be run on my HDD too. Remember that I copy the file, so the original one was still there.
I tried to go to safe mode (forget to mention, I use Windows 7 Pro), and this is where the strange thing happened, the copied files (both in ext-HDD and HDD) can be run in this safe mode.
So, my question is, what could actually be happened there?
PS: My ext-HDD is Axioo, 250 GB, exFAT...
Edited: Currently I used MacOSX, and the file in the harddisk still can't be run. I haven't tried safe mode for Mac (is there one?), but will try later (if there is)

The Weekly Quickie: GALEYD, The Bawdies, Acid Black Cherry, vNeu, Kuroyuri to Kage, DADAROMA, MIYAVI
GALEYD, a year after their hiatus, is officially calling it quits. It's not much of a surprise, but heartbreaking nonetheless for their fans that have been patiently waiting. They do plan to hold a final live in 2015, but the date and venue are not yet set. We'll be sure to keep you posted. Until then, you can find drummer, Nikky, rocking out with ALSDEAD, so go show him your support!
BAWDIES have announced their tour final at Nippon Budokan. The event will be held on March 29 and will mark the end of their "Boys!" tour. Pre-sale tickets are already up via their mobile site and general sale starts January 31st.
Announced in this month's MEN'S KNUCKLE (that has got to be the worst name for a magazine ever), 109 Men's will be collaborating with Janne de Arc vocalist Yasu's solo project, Acid Black Cherry. These two have worked together before in February 2012 and this will mark the first time the building will work with the same artist twice. The front of 109 Men's is already draped with Yasu's image, so if you're in Shibuya, be sure to stop by.
So, here's a shock. Rising stars vNeu announced their disbandment earlier this week. Their statement was brief and no reasoning was given, only that their 5th Anniversary tour final on December 29 at Shibuya Koukaido will be their last live together.
So, you guys know I'm excited about Kuroyuri to Kage, right? Well, it seems they've finally announced the details on their first single. Titled, [Yokusou][Gesshoku][Misui], the three track Maxi single will release December 3 in two versions. My wallet should consider itself warned.
Have you guys heard DADAROMA yet? Stop what you're doing right now and go listen. Seriously. DADAROMA is the new band fronted by ex-Crazy Shampoo vocalist Yoshiatsu. I'm not a Crazy Shampoo fan myself, but their video showed up on my Facebook feed and I was just blown away. It's dark and violent and reminds me of all the great bands I got hooked on in the early 2000's. The full PV for Oboreru Sakana is up on their official YouTube page, so go check it out.
And a live announcement that just reached me this morning. MIYAVI will be performing live at El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on December 14. Pre-sale started on November 2 and continue through November 5. Visit the event page and use the password "MIYAVI" to get tickets.
And that's the Quickie. Love you! <3

Paris St Germain boss Thomas Tuchel admitted his side were not at their best after being held 1-1 at Ligue 1 rivals Strasbourg.
Edinson Cavani rescued a point for PSG with a second half penalty after Kenny Lala's spot kick before the break had given Strasbourg a surprise lead.
PSG extended their unbeaten league start to 16 games this season, but they have been held in back-to-back Ligue 1 games since beating Liverpool in the Champions League.
"I cannot expect from my players the same state of mind as against Liverpool," Tuchel said in his post-match interview.
"We showed a good spirit in Bordeaux (on Sunday) and today we attacked and defended together."
PSG had spurned a host of chances before Strasbourg took the lead through Lala's 40th minute penalty.
Defender Thilo Kehrer was adjudged to have handled and after the incident was referred to the video assistant referee, Lala converted into the bottom corner.
PSG went in search of the equaliser in the second half, but met with stubborn resistance before Cavani hauled the visitors level with his 10th league goal of the season after Lala's foul on Kylian Mbappe.
"Strasbourg knows how to defend en bloc by playing with a lot of quality and with the help of the fans," Tuchel added.
"We knew Strasbourg would defend very low. They play very hard at home with a great atmosphere in the stadium and our decision-making was too slow."
PSG now have five days to prepare for their next match, a Champions League tie against Red Star in Belgrade on Tuesday.
Strasbourg boss Thierry Laurey said he was proud of his players, but was already looking forward to this weekend's home league game against Caen.
"I congratulate my boys, I'm very proud of them," Laurey said. "We need to continue like this, we have a very important match against Caen on Sunday.
"On commitment, rigour, investment – I have nothing to reproach my players. I'm very happy to have taken a point. PSG came with a team that had largely the potential to beat us."

- Directed by Rerkchai Paungpetch and Noppadon Arkard
- Starring Ramita Mahapruekhong, Pakorn Chatborirak, Anek Intachan, Phongchak Phitsathanphon
- Released in Thai cinemas on December 25, 2013; rated 15+
- Wise Kwai's rating: 2/5
To me, "Gypso" Ramita Mahapruekhong is Thailand's most annoying actress, which puts her high in the running for most annoying actress in the world.
I don't know what it is about her that rubs me the wrong way. She's talented, funny and pretty. Maybe it's because she's always been cast in atrocious movies.
Which brings me to Fud Jung To (ฟัดจังโตะ), in which she plays a super-annoying girlfriend who is forced to take a trip to Japan with her super-insensitive prick of an ex-boyfriend.
It's a contrived plot to be sure, but then aren't all romantic comedies contrived? However, "Fud Jung To" takes forced situations to new heights of ridiculousness.
The latest effort by studio M-Thirtynine and director Rerkchai Paungpetch, "Fud Jung To" is another of their year-end comedies. It's something they've been doing for several years now. All have been nonsensical yukfests with mostly incomprehensible plots. Most of the titles have been untranslatable. I asked a Thai colleague to explain this one, and she says Fud Jung To has no meaning at all.
Yet despite all the nonsense, the movies have been crazily popular. So they keep making them. Fud Jung To debuted on Christmas Day, and a late-night screening this week at a suburban Bangkok multiplex was still pulling in a fair-sized crowd. According to the box-office figures as of New Year's Day, it's earned a not-so-shabby Bt31.67 million.
Gypso is a young product presenter named Gabs who is obsessed with buying bottled tea. She's hoping the next cap she unscrews will be the one that wins her a trip to Japan. Gabs is not someone you'd want to be queued up behind at the 7-Eleven, because she'll have an armload of bottled teas, which will lead the clerk to mentioning a promotion on the stuff to entice her to buy even more. But this only causes Gabs to be indecisive and take up even more time in line. Being one of her friends isn't so hot either. Ask her to buy you a juice or cola, you'll get a green tea instead. And you'll have to surrender the bottle cap.
Gabs has gone to such a length to score that winning cap, she has even landed a boyfriend who works at the tea company and whose job it is to design those caps.
Seems like there would be a conflict of interest with that relationship, but the real problem is that Gabs' sweetie Gob has about had it with her roller-coaster emotions, neediness, whining and constant phone calls pestering him about everything. He's played by "Boy" Pakorn Chatborirak, who's wonderfully deadpan in his reactions but also comes across as a jerk.
Really, it's hard to sympathize with either of these characters. They are constantly at each other's throats, slapping each other's faces, kicking each other's behinds, strangling each other and then kissing.
He breaks up with her in a little Japanese restaurant in a shopping mall, possibly in hopes that the public venue would keep Gabs from going nuts. And she doesn't go nuts – she goes absolutely berserk, bawling and screaming at the top of her lungs, running down the up escalator and drawing a huge crowd of dumbfounded onlookers.
Gabs' emotions then rocket back up into the stratosphere when she hears she's won that trip to Japan, but her joy is immediately tempered when she learns that she must take the trip with the person she named in her entry – her ex-boyfriend Gob.
So the two ex-lovers are forced to travel together. Their shared futon becomes a wrestling mat as the bickering twosome grapples for superiority.
To heighten the contrived situation, the pair are also compelled to don various Japanese outfits, ranging from traditional wedding garb to school uniforms and finally bizarre cosplay getups.
They have to wear the costumes because they are being recorded by hidden cameras for a promotional short film. At least that's what they're told by their tour guide, a bespectacled young geek named Guide (Phongchak Phitsathanphon), who is accompanied by his oddball father (comedian Anek Intachan, a regular in these M-Thirtynine year-end movies).
To be fair, for the first hour, Fud Jung To clicks along entertainingly, in spite of its contrivances. Perhaps sensing that audiences are starting to grow weary, Rerkchai dispenses with some of the sloppiness of his previous efforts. He sticks closer to a script. Also, there's no sign of cherubic funnyman Charoenporn "Kotee" Onlamai, who's been in Rerkchai's previous films. Also, Rerkchai is assisted by a co-director, Noppadon Arkard.
As the slaps, kicks, punches and bites pile on, the effect is numbing. The laugh-a-minute pace slows to a dull, quiet crawl.
A twist is introduced, clumsily. It might have been more effective if it hadn't already been revealed in the trailers and synopses. So much of the suspense is killed because the bored audience is wondering when that twist is going to show up. And when it does, it's underwhelming, because, after all, it's just Gypso again, only with a different hairstyle and different clothes, but she's still caught in the same nonsensical movie.

Deliciously healthy "Mexican Street Corn" inspired burrito bowls with the Best Avocado Oil Mayo Dressing.
Today, I'm mashing up 2 blog favorites per the request of my sister! Her absolute favorite recipe on my blog are these sweet potato bowls and a close second is this Mexican Street Corn Pasta Salad.
She came up to babysit a couple of weeks ago and when I asked what I could have ready for dinner, she requested both of these dishes (and I'm quoting her here), "in a healthier mash-up".
So you can all thank her for this dish; which, if you try it, I think you'll want to! This has quickly climbed the ranks to one of our favorite dishes as well. It's a healthier dish that is packed with flavor and super filling while also being meatless.
I swear to you the secret is the sauce on these bowls! And today we're making that sauce healthier with my new favorite mayo — KRAFT Avocado Oil Mayo. This mayo is a healthier alternative to regular mayo and it's packed full with healthy fats. This mayo is seriously amazing! You can enjoy the great taste of mayonnaise (one of my favorite things on earth) and STILL feel good about it!
The avocado oil mayo is the base of the sauce and then you'll add some lime juice + zest and a few seasonings. For an extra kick (if you like spice) try adding chipotle chili powder in place of regular chili powder — seriously good for a spice lover!
Underneath the amazing sauce (that you'll want to put on EVERYTHING) are a bed of rice, a serving of black beans, and the actual "Mexican Street Corn" inspired mix. This mix is lightly charred corn + peppers mixed with plenty of flavors common to Mexican Street Corn — green onions, cilantro, lime juice, and jalapeños. I also add a little more paprika here, but feel free to omit if you're worried about the spice.
Add an extra squeeze of lime, drench these bowls in the sauce, and you're ready to go!
Deliciously healthy "Mexican Street Corn" inspired burrito bowls with the Best Avocado Oil Mayo Dressing.
- 1 cup uncooked brown rice
- 2 cans (15 ounces EACH) sweet corn
- 2 red bell peppers, thinly sliced; seeds removed
- 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño, diced
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 cup Kraft Avocado Oil Mayo
- 2 large limes, separated
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons Sriracha
- Salt and Pepper
Prepare the brown rice according to package directions. Set aside to cool slightly.
Meanwhile, make the dressing. Combine all of the dressing ingredients: the mayo, 3 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon lime zest, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, Sriracha, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper (to taste.) Whisk and place in the fridge while you prep the remainder of the bowls.
Sauté corn kernels in a preheated large cast-iron skillet 3 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until kernels are lightly charred over high heat. Remove to a bowl. Add the pepper and again sauté over high heat stirring occasionally until lightly charred and crisp tender. Remove to a bowl
Season the corn and pepper with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Let cool to room temperature and then add in the chopped cilantro, chopped green onions, diced jalapeño, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Add a squeeze of lime juice and toss.
Drain and rinse the black beans.
Assemble the bowls: Fill the bottom of 4 bowls with even amounts of the brown rice. Add even amounts of black beans and the corn + red pepper mixture to each bowl.
Thinly slice the avocado and divide evenly among the bowls.
Top with the prepared dressing, another squeeze of lime as desired and enjoy immediately.
*Nutrition facts will vary based on how you top your bowls. For these facts I've taken all the ingredients listed to get the total.

lunch at gastro bar...
Gastro Bar
78 West Park Pl
So usually, staff members and I go out to celebrate birthdays and this year was no exception. The "winter birthdays" is a group I am happy to be a part of -- we are a great group of foodies. With so many restaurants in the downtown it's usually a struggle to agree upon one, but we unanimously chose Gastro Bar since we hadn't had a chance to try it since it opened a few months ago. The name isn't what I'd usually seek out in a resto -- "gastro" What does that mean really? Nonetheless, it was a terrific choice. Not too crowded for lunch, so we were able to get in some good gossip - I mean "conversation" going. Nice.
We had desert too. To blow candles we needed a sweet piece of cake, so we all shared a giant piece of tiramisu -- another yum notch on the belt.
I like this place. I'll be back.

Furious joint manager Ian Robinson has demanded an immediate reaction to Rainworth MW's inglorious Notts Senior Cup exit.
The Evo-Stik NPL Division One South strugglers suffered a 3-1 extra time home defeat to East Midlands Counties League Kimberley MW in Tuesday's third round tie, which completely nullified the joy of Saturday's crucial relegation battle victory at Kidsgrove.
Rainworth never looked like making their two-division superiority tell against a side which only stepped up from Notts Senior League football in the summer.
Their task was made no easier by striker Alex Haughton foolishly getting himself sent off just after the hour mark, but that was far from the only thing which annoyed Robinson.
Speaking straight after the game, the Wrens' co-manager fumed: "The players were warned that they would need to begin at a high tempo and move the ball around quickly to avoid being dragged down to the opposition's level, but they didn't do that and suffered the consequences.
"We had built ourselves up after the win at Kidsgrove, and although we had some players missing for the cup tie that is no excuse - no disrespect to Kimberley who wanted it more and were prepared to fight for it more, but we should have had enough to have beaten them comfortably.
"We had no one to blame but ourselves. Having Alex sent off killed us, but the way we played all evening was annoying.
"We should be playing the same game week in week out, but when we play lower sides the players think they can turn on the pretty stuff, but frankly we are not good enough to do that. The way we will succeed is by going back to the basics, doing them well, and playing to our strengths."
It wasn't all doom and gloom, and Robinson had words of praise for two new players.
Notts County youngster Gino Kelleher made a very promising debut at Kidsgrove but wasn't eligible for the cup tie, but Kuwesi Ofushine, who has been plucked out of lower league football after being recommended to the club, showed just why he was so highly rated.
Robinson continued: "We are striving to improve the squad, but after this performance we have a few hard decisions to make ahead of Saturday's home game with Coalville Town.
"They are climbing the table, but we will be strengthened by the return of two or three players to the squad.
"But we also need to see those who let us down tonight erase the hurt of that, and there is only one way to do that."

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Friday blasted Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro for revoking the press credentials of CNN's reporters in Venezuela, calling it an "assault on press freedom."
"We must assume that Nicolás Maduro is kicking out CNN, CNN en Español, and other foreign journalists as a precursor to even more violent and deadly tactics against innocent Venezuelans. This press assault is a worrying sign that Maduro intends to dig in and step up the violence with the false belief that the world will never find out because he's kicking out journalists," Rubio said in a statement late Friday.
"This isn't simply an assault against press freedom. It now poses an even graver danger to Venezuelan demonstrators who will now have fewer news outlets to tell the story of what's happening there to the rest of the world.
"We cannot allow this to have a chilling effect on press coverage of what's going on in Venezuela."
CNN reported that the Venezuelan government had revoked or denied press credentials for seven of its journalists in the country. In doing so, Maduro made good on a threat from Thursday, when he accused CNN of perpetrating "war propaganda" in its coverage of the ongoing protests in the country. Maduro called the journalists "fascists."
CNN en Español, which has continued to broadcast in Venezuela, said it was reporting "both sides" of the protests despite a general lack of access to government officials.
"CNN has reported both sides of the tense situation in Venezuela, even with very limited access to government officials," CNN en Español said in a statement.
"We hope the government will reconsider its decision. Meanwhile, we will continue reporting on Venezuela in the fair, accurate and balanced manner we are known for."
Local and state television networks have broadcast almost no coverage of opposition-led press conferences and news, which has left Venezuelans turning to CNN Español for television coverage.
A Colombia-based network, NTN24, was taken off the air in Venezuela last week after providing live coverage of the protests. Some social networks, including Twitter, have also been restricted in some cases. These acts drew criticism from the organization Reporters Without Borders, which called them "arbitrary acts of censorship."

What scientific concept/principle should students learn from this lesson? Use indicators from the Science State Curriculum as a resource. Include indicators from both Skills and Processes (Standard 1) and Concepts (Standards 2-6).
This is then developed into the culminating or the last in a series of logically connected activities. It can be
This application will be presented and described during the ENGAGEMENT and will be completed as the EXTENSION portion of the model. Posing the challenge is the heart of the ENGAGEMENT. Students become motivated as the future activity is described. They become focused and are able to access prior knowledge. Teachers may follow this description with other motivational activities. These may include a demonstration by the teacher and/or a student; a short reading from a current media release, a science journal, a piece of literature (biography, essay, poem, etc.); analyzing a graphic organizer; etc. As the EXTENSION, the activity gives purpose and meaning to all the activities that the students should do to develop an understanding of the concept. It provides the connection for these activities. The activity can be followed by another related extension activity. For example, after students have solved the problem, made a decision, or answered the question, they can WRITE TO PERSUADE a selected audience to adopt their thinking.
In this activity, students may gather information from
Usually, at least two different activities are developed, an investigation followed by a reading. These will become the components of the EXPLORATION. The activities are designed so students can collect information that they will use to complete the EXTENSION activity. Providing students with a set of directions to follow is a perfect opportunity to use READ FOR INFORMATION TO PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION strategies. (Whenever possible, students should have opportunities to design investigations and implement the set of procedures they wrote. In this situation, READ FOR INFORMATION TO PERFORM AN INVESTIGATION strategies can be used to critique their design.) When they are gathering information from text-based sources, use READING TO BE INFORMED techniques. The reading that is used should complement whatever investigation the students have completed. It should add details to the understanding that they developed during their investigation. The EXPLORATION is always followed by the EXPLANATION portion of the model. The two parts are intrinsically linked to each other.
These will form the body of the EXPLANATION.
To write questions, use the indicators from two different science standards, Skills and Processes (Standard 1) and the Concepts of Science (Earth/Space, Life, Chemistry, Physics, or Environmental Science. Any of these questions can be structured in the prompt format used for WRITING TO INFORM. This makes up Part One of the EXPLANATION. The EXPLANATION helps the teacher evaluate what has occurred during the EXPLORATION. Teachers must be sure that the students have developed an accurate understanding from their activities.
Teachers should modify explanations as required, add information to enhance understanding, or move to a related, more complex concept. This makes up Part Two of the EXPLANATION.
The EVALUATION provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate and check their understanding of the concepts. Scoring tools developed by teachers and students target what students must know and do. Consistent use of scoring tools improves learning. A final EVALUATION of all important concepts, skills, & processes may conclude the lesson.

|Not a tower day.
In one of the predetermined marquee grouping Phil Mickelson was -2, Tiger Woods and Graeme McDowell both -1 through fifteen holes. Woods hit some Captain Kirk shots, his inability to make a putt inside of fifteen feet was what prevented him from threatening the leaders. In the premier pairing of the world's top three players #1 Martin Kaymer was at -5, #2 Lee Westwood -4, and #3 Luke Donald was 5 under, all through 10 holes. Full Field Partial Round 1 Scores
The course was there for the taking with greens stimping at about 11. That's Doral's only real defense other than wind. Greens at 11 have pros chomping at the bit with no fear of running by the hole and having to make a longish comebacker.
If the course grows any teeth at all it will tough to make up having passed on the gift scores given today. With so many guys under par it's not just a question of going low later in the tourney, it's the herculean task of climbing over so many players. You can't rely on 30 pros puking on their FootJoys.Word to Mr, Woods, Mickelson, and McDowell..... Start making birdies when you climb out of bed tomorrow.

This is the 12th of a series of posts dealing with my 2016 trip to Toronto, Montreal, and vicinity. I've made minor corrections to these reports (typos, bits I don't feel like making public). Also, I've added additional thoughts with the hindsight of two years later or to add further clarification. These are indicated by "NOW".
4/5 of the way to the end now! Last night someone snored the most obnoxious snoring I've ever heard. I got up to use the washroom but really to get relief from the snoring. Managed to get back to sleep. At a little after 5:30 I woke up again and this time the room's peanut gallery was also commenting on the snoring.
I got up and walked to a further away McDonald's for breakfast and then continued north along Yonge to Sheppard-Yonge Station. During this walk I noticed that the coin section of my new money belt had a split so I moves the coins to the larger section; my padlock key and subway tokens survived; since the hole is small I left the cards in the coin section. Passing through the west side stop of the 4/Sheppard Line route, I took the 1/Yonge-University-Spadina train (TTC/Toronto Transit) south to Union Station, where I transferred to a 509 streetcar (same). No one thought to ring the bell so lots of us got off at the stop after Queen's Quay Station.
[NOW: Like the one I normally went to, this McDonald's was on Yonge St.]
i walked to Jack Layton Ferry Terminal and bought a ticket to the Toronto Islands. I handed the ticket/receipt to the ticket guy and much to my shock he didn't return the ticket. I took the Centre Island ferry (Toronto Parks) to Centre Island Ferry Terminal. The ferry terminal is on an island often called Centre Island, but I prefer Middle island to distinguish from a larger island of the same name. On Middle Island I visited Centreville Amusement park, briefly walking to Olympic Island and back and visiting the park's Far Enough Farm (petting zoo). The whole receipt thing was bothering me so I found an info booth near Centre island Ferry Terminal; they said I'd have to go back to Jack Layton to get the receipt. In the meantime I crossed over to Middle Island to the larger Centre Island, visiting a beach with multiple names including Chelsea Islands Beach. I walked west, stopping briefly at Gibraltar Point Beach and Gibraltar Point Lighthouse., working my way to the Hanlan's Point area of Centre Island. That section has a clothing option beach and a ferry terminal, both also called Hanlan's Point. I returned to Gibraltar Point then Chelsea Beach and then continued east. I walked from Centre Island to an island with the Toronto Yacht Club and back, then Snake Island and back, then Algonquin Island and back. For the letter two islands, got nice views of the CN Tower. On the east side Centre Island (the larger one) becomes Ward Island so I visited Ward Island Ferry Terminal and then Ward's Island beach, where I had lunch. During this walk along Centre/Ward Island I sometimes saw 10 km/h speed limit signs.
[NOW: Chelsea Beach is probably best known as Centre Island Beach and also known as Manitou Beach. The Yacht Club island is RCYC Island aka South Chippewa Island.]
After lunch and resting, I walked along the boardwalk from the Ward Island section of this largest island to the Centre Island section. The boardwalk doesn't allow quadcycles where are common; boards along the boardwalk are loose. I revisited Chelsea and Gibraltar Point beaches before working my way back to Hanlan's Point. I took the Hanlan's Point Ferry (Toronto Parks) back to Jack Layton Ferry Terminal. Playing my Asperger's card I managed to get a receipt, albeit with the wrong time (after 4 pm instead of 9:13). So a receipt indicating Toronto Islands but not really a memento of the specific trip to the islands sadly. I took a 509 streetcar and 1 train (both TTC) to Dundas Station. There was a Christian concert at Yonge-Dundas Square. With a meet with my friend Aidan to happen in an hour I walked to his street (Church St) to get a sense of distance, returned to Yonge St, visited Hairy Tarantula, and grabbed a Slurpee from 7-11. Near the square and dog was doing flips for treats. I wandered along Church St and grabbed a Pop Shoppe pop (lime ricky) from Hasty Market). I visited my friend Aidan and got some photos from his 24 story place. I also briefly met his new partner. Aidan and I had some drinks and then we had pizza at Blaze's across from Yonge-Dundas Square. I then returned to Backpackers on Dundas.

PALERMO, MAR 15, 2000 (ZENIT.org).- Yesterday, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger warned some 1,500 persons against what might well be the gravest danger facing humanity at present: the destruction of the image of God, by reducing fatherhood to a merely biological phenomenon. The Bavarian Cardinal addressed a congregation gathered in the Cathedral of Palermo, as well as students of the Theology Faculty of Sicily, during the inauguration of the Third Diocesan Week of Faith.
Cardinal Ratzinger, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, who was invited for the occasion by Cardinal Salvatore De Giorgi of Palermo, said that God himself "willed to manifest and describe himself as Father." "Human fatherhood gives us an anticipation of what He is. But when this fatherhood does not exist, when it is experienced only as a biological phenomenon, without its human and spiritual dimension, all statements about God the Father are empty. The crisis of fatherhood we are living today is an element, perhaps the most important, threatening man in his humanity. The dissolution of fatherhood and motherhood is linked to the dissolution of our being sons and daughters."
However, there are examples, like Maximilian Kolbe and Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who demonstrate how it is possible to live fatherhood and motherhood in the most real and profound sense, even without the biological aspect. The risk the Cardinal is concerned about, is intimately linked with our technological era. "At present, man has power over the world and its laws. He is able to dismantle this world and reassemble it."
Cardinal Ratzinger spent some time reflecting on the "name of God." "The Apocalypse speaks about God's antagonist, the Beast. This animal does not have a name, but a number."
In order to understand what this means, he recalled the dramatic experience of the concentration camps. "In their horror, they cancel faces and history, transforming man into a number, reducing him to a cog in an enormous machine. Man is no more than a function."
This is a risk being repeated today. "In our days, we should not forget that they prefigured the destiny of a world that runs the risk of adopting the same structure of the concentration camps, if the universal law of the machine is accepted. The machines that have been constructed impose the same law. According to this logic, man must be interpreted by a computer and this is only possible if translated into numbers. The beast is a number and transforms into numbers. God, however, has a name and calls by name. He is a person and looks for the person."
To have a name means to have the possibility of being called, it means communion. If through biotechnology man becomes a laboratory product, along with the biological he will lose the human and spiritual relation with his father and mother. Then the threat mentioned by Cardinal Ratzinger will become a dramatic reality.

Sick Day Drawin'
Well, I'm sick today. Maybe tomorrow too. Who knows? Fate probably. Or a doctor. Either way, I did some drawin' today. With a pen even. I had doodled these bad boys up during one of our little art-kid meetings, but I didn't complete them until today. Now that I had all sorts of time...
I hadn't done up any wrasslers for a while so I figured I do up a few. Yup. That's it.

Accessible Entrance & Interior Renovation
Year: 2010
Location: Winnipeg, MB
Client: Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Centre
Awards: 2010 Winnipeg Accessibility Award & 2011 Preservation Award for Excellence
The renovation and restoration of the Manitoba Indigenous Cultural Centre was centred around the desire to create an accessible community place for the celebration of Indigenous culture, language and education. Integral to this intent was the need to create an accessible public entrance, as the original building could only be accessed by an exterior set of stairs. This goal was realized by lowering the entire main floor, which allows the building to now be accessed at grade level. In addition to new landscaping at the front of the building, the new main entrance allows the building to become an inviting public space, integrated with the pedestrian walkways around it.
Within the Centre, an accessible teaching kitchen - complete with accessible appliance and multi-height countertops - creates a flexible learning environment that can be enjoyed by users of all ages and abilities. Additionally, lighting played a key role in creating consistent, high levels of visibility throughout the project. Recessed lights located along the base of the staircase gently illuminate the path of travel, while assisting in differentiating the change in height.

Some Things Never Change
3rd John is another personal-letter, which is also his last letter. So short, so telling. John is writing to his friend and brother Gaius. He seems to have been a leader in the church, and even though there are other mentions of men with this name in Scripture, it was a very common name; we can't be sure if he has other mentions or not. Gaius was obviously serving others, and sharing God's love with them. He was hosting a group of missionaries, and these workers were people he didn't know.
You Walk in the Truth
1 The elder to the beloved Gaius, whom I love in truth.
2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. 3 For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth. 4 I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth.
As we saw also in 2nd John, his personal greetings are warm and tender. Wishing "prosperity" and "good health" was a common Greek greeting, so we should not be surprised that John greets Gaius this way, but what wasn't "common" was tying physical prosperity and health together with spiritual-health, so in that regard, this is no "ordinary" letter. Messengers have brought news to John that Gaius is acting in an exemplary-manner, which brings great joy to the Apostle.
5 Beloved, you are acting faithfully in whatever you accomplish for the brethren, and especially when they are strangers; 6 and they have testified to your love before the church. You will do well to send them on their way in a manner worthy of God. 7 For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles. 8 Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.
Gaius is the kind of Christian who is worthy of imitation. He is serving in love, he is putting others first, he is doing the kinds of things we should be doing. John encourages Gaius to keep up the good work. But there is another guy who comes up in the letter…
9 I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say. 10 For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.
Uh-oh! Looks like John had a wannabe "big-shot" on his hands, a "big-shot" who thought that he knew more than John, who was an Apostle.
This dude Diotrephes is all too common in our day, and obviously they had this sort of nonsense going on even in John's day. Did you catch what John said about him at the beginning? He said that Diotrephes "loves to be first." Well that about sums it up! Do you know others who love to be first? They are the important ones, they are the ones who can't be inconvenienced, they are the ones who always have the last word, who always get their way, and who must always be in charge. They want to be the bride at every wedding, and the corpse at every funeral. No doubt we are reminded of the words of Jesus when He said "the first will be last and the last will be first!"
Diotrephes won't welcome the Apostle to the church, and kicks others out for welcoming the strangers that Gaius has taken in. Diotrephes seems to have much to say about others. A bunch of nonsense (or gossip) is being spread about people like John himself, who should be given the respect they are due. I wonder if Diotrephes is doing this because he must be in the spotlight, and just can't handle it when someone else gets attention.
I cringe when I see a ministry named after its founding-father and guiding-light, even though I know that there are many GOOD ministries so-named. All I can ask is "Why?"
Maybe we'll never know the exact motivation, but I think we recognize the person, and John is telling us not to emulate them or their behavior. Who can argue with that advice?
People follow all kinds of "role models" these days, but unfortunately, many people are following the wrong kinds of "role models". We see big-name sports-stars get rewarded with even juicier contracts after an episode of wrong-behavior. What is wrong with that picture? Who do you know who would be a GOOD "role model" for people to follow?
11 Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does evil has not seen God. 12 Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.
Finally, another good guy is mentioned: Demetrius. So there you have it, two brothers who are serving faithfully, and one bad apple. It seems that the bad apple makes the most noise, but the faithful servants are making a difference for the Gospel. I'd say there might be a lesson in this for us!
13 I had many things to write to you, but I am not willing to write them to you with pen and ink; 14 but I hope to see you shortly, and we will speak face to face.
As we saw in 2nd John, the Apostle had many more things to say, but he wanted to say them in person. We read the words of Jesus in the Gospels, and read the Apostle's writings, and yet, if Jesus or one of the Apostles walked through the door of this room, we would turn our attention to them and would be all-ears for what they had to say. Nothing beats face-to-face interaction.
Jesus and the Apostles said many things which were never recorded, but as John wrote in John 20:30, we have a very-adequate record for our needs and purposes, and while the ministries of Jesus and the Apostles only reached a few people during their lifetimes; countless millions of people have been reached by the written word they left behind.
15 Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.
As John is closing this personal letter, he sends greetings from those who are with him, and Gaius would know who else to greet by name.
Sola Deo Gloria!

International ace set to return to Arsenal after loan club make transfer decision
WOJCIECH SZCZESNY is set to return to Arsenal when his Roma loan spell expires.
According to Football Insider, the Italian club have decided against signing the 25-year-old on a permanent deal.
Roma have instead agreed a deal to sign Brazil stopper Allison from Internacional.
Szczesny was loaned out by Arsenal following the signing of Petr Cech last summer.
The Poland international has been a regular for the Serie A giants, conceding 44 goals in 34 appearances.
A return to the Emirates Stadium will see him play second fiddle to Petr Cech while current back-up David Ospina will decide on his future in the summer.
However, Szczesny could be offered an escape route by Liverpool.
Football Insider report that Jurgen Klopp fancies a double raid on Arsenal for the keeper and pal Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The "B" in the "B1" and "B2" grading of the blastocysts suggests they were second grade embryos (i.e. assuming A1 is the best). That is what I was referring to when I brough the point about the sperm's genetic contribution to blastocyst development.A slower stimulation (10-12 days) is perferable to a shorter stimulation (less than 9 days). Stimulation for more than 12 days can lead to post-mature eggs. A slow stimulation allows for better egg maturation. So, no, a shorter stimulation with a higher dose of medication would not have resulted in more mature eggs - probably the opposite.With the exception of presenting an overly optimistic picture, I think they handled your case as well as can be expected. I see no need to move to another program if this cycle fails. Every sperm and egg combination is unique, so you may do better on a subsequent cycle.
Hi Dr.I had a day 5 transfer with two eggs all of VERY good quality, no fragmantation. however on day 5 after the transfer i began to bleed and on day six i passed a very small amount of clots. the bleeding is not heavy at all however, enough to have to use a pad and when i use the washroom and i wipe there is always a small amount of clots on the tissue. Does this mean i have most likely lost the pregnancy? or could it just be one sheding while the other implants? I took apregnancy test on sunday July 2 and it was negative. My transfer tooke place on June 24. my retreival was on june 19
"Spotting" during the two week wait is not uncommon, but don't read too much into it. Patients who are pregnant have spotting. Patients who are not pregnant have spotting. I understand that you are anxious and are trying to read every "sign", but the only true test is time. On that subject, you tested too soon. Eight days after a Day 5 transfer is not enough time for enough hCG to build up in your body to be consistently measured on a urine test. Wait for the blood test. It is far more accurate than the urine test.

Hoodlum 2: Spoilers
Bruh, this book was really good, and now I see how Tech died and the reason behind it, but I am wondering why? I do know I wanted to know did he know who he was robbing though? And I also knew something was up Sikes I'm lying lol but man, I thought Monae and Shai were getting somewhere fooled me lol. But I am also itching for Shai to find out about Honey and Brunco or whatever how you spell his name. And war is definitely at its high with Clark's family. It's going to get a juicer, and I am itching for more omg.
Also, something is up with Shai sister boyfriend Snake, I kept saying to myself they have to watch that fool, and his sister is hard headed something going to happen, and I feel it and dude are stirring her in the wrong direction. But I do wish Swann, tell Shai about Honey and Brunso foreal because I know they smash, and she is feeling him, he be around her more than Shai is and that is not good at all.
In my mind, I am like is that even Shai baby hmmm hmmm. Man, though I just hope that part 3 will not be coming out so late because I am itching for more.

The last few weeks I've learned the babies we had a few months ago were just a drop in the bucket!
May is when the whole herd is due to have their babies. It began a few weeks ago on shearing day, but the past week has been the busiest by far.
Here is what lambing is all about.
First you have an open field of several hundred very pregnant ewes.
|Don't you love Jigsy's new collar?
1. She goes off by herself
2. Pawing at the ground
3. She passes her mucus plug
Once she starts puckering her lips like this - you know it's game time.
Contractions will increase and the ewe's water bag will appear. This can go on anywhere from a few minutes to an hour. If a ewe is in the pushing stage for over an hour it's likely she is having trouble. This is when one of our workers will intervene.
Most ewes will not need help lambing, a good sign they are fine on their own is if their lamb's hooves and nose appear simultaneously. This is the position the lamb should be in.
|Source: here.
Once the lamb is born the ewe begins licking her baby clean. This is my favorite part. It's just amazing how instinct kicks in!
Once the babies are born and the ewes have a chance to bond with their baby, the lambs will picked up by one of the herders or J and the ewe will be lead to pen or "jug" as we like to call them.
|You carry the lamb low so the mom can see and smell it. This does not hurt the lamb.
My hat goes off to all the mamas out there. Whether it's an animal birth or a human birth I know they don't call it "labor" for nothing!
Here is J. He really is excited about lambing time, he's just exhausted these days.
For now, a thumbs up with have to do!
Keep up the hard work hubs! Lambing is almost done.

Last summer, Chicago MC ZMoney put his name on the map with the great Rich B4 Rap mixtape, and now he's gearing up for the release of The Greatest Trap Show on Earth on May 2nd. Today, he shared mixtape cut "Jug N Finesse," which features a characteristically hyped-up appearance from Danny Brown.
"Jug N Finesse" features production from JNeal that stays true to Chicago's drill sound while still making Danny Brown's guest verse seem right at home. The track features lyrics that could easily have appeared on Brown's 2013 album Old, with talk of popping pills, making girls wet, rolling blunts and hilariously enough, a reference to Beyoncé's "surfboard" line in "Drunk In Love."
Stay tuned for The Greatest Trap Show on Earth.
Quotable Lyrics:
Make that pussy go surfboard
Cause I can't afford to ever buy that
Popped a flat and now she so wet, I might need me a tire
Shoulda talked to that boy ZMoney, and that whole damn Chi-Raq

The Creighton Bluejays currently have a uniform contract with Nike. We have 7 basketball uniforms in our database for the Creighton Bluejays and are working to add more to Uniform Critics. Feel free to contact us with any uniform designs for this team that we may be missing.
Creighton's uniforms, like threads at most mid-majors, have been apparel suppliers' most generic forms over the last decade.
After the 2008 season, the Bluejays dropped contrasting collar and armpits from their uniform combinations as well as the school's interlocking "CU" logo at knee. The "CU" was replaced with "JAYS" shortly thereafter across all styles.
The team's "CREIGHTON" wordmark across home whites and road blues have remained throughout, but with the latest Nike update prior to the 2012-13 season, Creighton received elite fit uniforms with perforated side panels on shorts featuring a "JAYS" wordmark that originated in 1999.
The Bluejays donned a primarily pink and blue color scheme on their home whites in 2013 for a game against Bradley to promote cancer awareness on Coaches vs. Cancer night. Current uniforms are similar to Duke's classic style, but instead of black accents like Creighton utilized in the mid 2000s, the Bluejays now prefer silver.
Like the Blue Devils' threads, Creighton has two-color wide panels that begin under the arms and end with a point on the side of the knee. Surprisingly, the Bluejays haven't yet joined the black alternate realm with Nike.
Previous recent looks included contrasting shoulder vents and wavy-striped shorts, a style also worn by swoosh-sponsored Clemson among several others.

Facing disciplinary proceedings for their roles in the Tawana Brawley case, C. Vernon Mason and Alton H. Maddox Jr., Miss Brawley's lawyers, are battling before two committees to avoid censure, suspension or disbarment.
Mr. Maddox faces a disciplinary committee supervised by the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court in Brooklyn, where he is licensed.
Mr. Mason faces a similar panel in Manhattan. His lawyer, William M. Kunstler, said he was challenging charges of misconduct brought by State Attorney General Robert Abrams. Mr. Kunstler also said he was demanding the confidential minutes of the Brawley grand jury.
The grand jury found that Miss Brawley, who is black, had fabricated a report that she had been abducted and raped by six whites. Afterward, Mr. Abrams, the special prosecutor in the case, wrote a 10-page letter of complaint to each disciplinary panel asking that they investigate the lawyers' conduct. Three-Pronged Defense
In his letter, Mr. Abrams accused the lawyers of publicly making statements they knew were false, including accusations of assault, rape and murder against people who were not guilty. He also accused the two lawyers of counseling their clients to engage in illegal conduct and helping their clients evade the grand jury.Continue reading the main story
No members of either panel would discuss the cases. Mr. Maddox's lawyer, Hudson H. Reid, refused to discuss his client's defense, saying, ''I don't want to do anything that's going to hurt my best friend.'' He said his strategy would differ from Mr. Kunstler's.
Mr. Mason has used a three-pronged defense. He has challenged the allegations against him and has filed charges of misconduct against Mr. Abrams. And, in what Mr. Kunstler described as ''the Ollie North defense,'' Mr. Mason has argued that unless he could obtain access to the grand jury minutes, he would be unable to defend himself, and he has asked .that the charges be dismissed.
Justice Angelo J. Ingrassia of State Supreme Court is expected to rule on that motion next month. Change of Representation
The disciplinary panels have asked the lawyers to respond to Mr. Abrams's allegations. It is unclear whether Mr. Maddox has done so. On Nov. 4, the lawyer who was then representing Mr. Mason, Napoleon Williams, filed a detailed seven-page answer.
In it, statements attributed to Mr. Mason and deemed false by Mr. Abrams were denied outright, characterized as ''an expression of opinion'' or described as reasonably based on the facts known to Mr. Mason.
Soon after that, Mr. Mason sought to withdraw the response on the ground that Mr. Williams had not been authorized to file it and was no longer representing him. The committee has denied the request and is proceeding.
Since mid-November, there has been correspondence over who represents Mr. Mason, whether the inquiry is politically motivated and whether what the committee has characterized as Mr. Mason's ''curious shift in counsel'' was really a ploy to delay the proceedings.Continue reading the main story

text: Story of Laura E. Carter My mother, Laura Eva Carter, was born to the late Grant Parson and Laura Eva Bowen-Parson on August 17, 1932. She was the seventh child out of nine. She only had a ninth-grade education because she had to drop out of school to help take care of her nieces and nephews. My mother sang in the church choir with her sister Lillian. She later met and married her first husband. They had two sons Roosevelt and Andrew. Mom divorced her first husband and later met and married my dad, Preston Carter, and to their union they had six more children. There were two more boys and four girls. Larry, twins (Debra and Diane), Randy, Annette, and Lisa. For a total of eight children. She made sure her children had a relationship with Christ. Mom was a housewife and did some private duty work, too. As a child, my sister, Annette was diagnosed with a tumor in her nasal cavities, doctors told my parents that Annette would not live to be twelve years old. My mom took care of my sister until her death in 1984. After grieving my sister's death, six years later, the love of her life Preston, died of a stroke, July 15, 1990. She continued to grieve. She had her children and grandchildren around her for support, thank GOD! She was devoted to her children. She loved to travel and take trips, going to church, and working in her flower bed. My mother was an excellent cook. My dad said her fried chicken was, "much better than Kentucky Fried Chicken." She made her cakes from scratch. They were so good! That is why I wanted to learn to bake, so my mother taught me how. Unfortunately, after years of back to back deaths of her brothers and sisters, then her nieces, her health started to decline. She started to suffer with memory loss. In 2009, I noticed my mom repeating questions over and over again. I asked my sisters to observe her and see if she would do the same thing with them when they talked to her on the telephone. They began to notice that too. I would come home from work, mom would be in her room looking for her medicine. She had misplaced it. Then she would get mad at me and say I took her medicine and asked me why would I do that to her. I would tell her, "I did not take your medicine, but I will help you look for it." I would find it in her purse sometimes and other times it would be in her drawer hide behind some clothes. This happened often. Other times I would come home from work and mom would have cooked some food and the house would be full of smoke. I would let up windows to let out the smoke from the burnt pans. I became so afraid she would burn the house down. It was only God's grace that she didn't. I told her not to worry about cooking, from that point on, I would cook when I got home from work. I would cook every day for her and fix her plate and bring it to her. Sometimes, she would stay up late watching TV. I would stay up with her for a while, but I had to get some rest for work. I would be so tired and sleepy, but mom would stay up later and later. I would try to stay up with her, but I was too tired, so I would have to leave her up to watch TV alone. Then, she started setting off the alarm system, by opening the door, which would wake me out of my sleep. Sometimes I couldn't get back to sleep. I thank God I had that alarm, because she could have wondered off somewhere. These type of actions made me think that she was trying to leave. Thankfully, the alarm was so loud, I think it scared her so she stopped doing that after the third attempt. There were other times she would get upset at me and call me names and curse me out. I was so hurt, I would cry. Sometimes, I would leave and go to my sister's house for a while, but when I would return she would not remember any of it. I struggled with losing my mom to this disease because she looked like my mom, sounded like my mom, but the words weren't my mom's. I knew if my mom didn't have this disease she would never have called me some of the names she did. It was very hurtful, but it wasn't something my mom would normally do. I would ask my sisters, Diane and Debra, and my niece Brittney to stay with mom when I needed a break. I would go out of town for a weekend to get some rest, so that I could come back to face the next challenge. I thank God for Diane, Debra, and Brittney for being my support. They were always there for me and my mother whenever we needed them. I know everyone won't have a support system like I have, that is why I thank GOD for being able to work and having the understanding it takes in this situation. I would take off work when she had doctor's visits or had to go to ER. Sometimes, I would have to stay home from work to make sure she took her medicine. I'm thankful that my employers were understanding and caring for my mom, and willing to work with me when I needed to take off work. Being a caregiver and having to work outside the home was the hardest, most stressful thing I've ever had to do. The last days of my mom's life she was like her old self and she thanked me for staying with her. It was like old times. For a moment, my mom was back to herself. On May 7, 2015, my mom was at peace. However, my life changed forever. If I had to do this all over again for my mom, I would. I have no regrets. My mom's memory lives on in her children and grandchildren, she is so deeply missed.
