Graphs and Transformations take center stage in Algebra II. We spend most of the year discussing the major parent functions, looking at their graphs and noticing how parameter changes would affect that graph. Studying these pictures with a TI is a very low-res experience. They have activities available on their website that involve lots of button pushing and hand holding. I have found that better results are obtained when you can dynamically show the effects of a parameter change. There are some nice modules through Explore Learning that I have used (the conics ones are quite handy). The only problem I have with those is you get 5 minutes to play with a particular module per browser per day. You can sign up for a 30-day trial but the only other option is to get a site license for your school. Using them as inspiration, I stumbled upon Mathematica, a way overpowered tool that has a great feature that lets you build interactive models. I was able to crank out a few in not a lot of time:
The lag in the sliders is from the screen capture delay, the modules are quite responsive in practice. I have embedded the actual modules in my Algebra II and Pre-Cal curriculum sections. You can also download the CDF files and play with them offline. In both cases you'll need Wolfram's CDF player/plug-in (it's free). Have I mentioned that my curriculum sections are fully loaded now? Go look.
I'm still trying to fiddle with modules for conic sections, but plotting implicit equations is a little trickier, plus there's a giant CDF repository where others have come before me and accomplished good enough results.

GeekWire's Greatest Geek of All Time is making headlines again, and this time it relates directly to the startup world.
Palo Alto-based Northern Imagination produced the parody video above to help promote its Kickstarter campaign for a Wi-Fi-enabled Nikola Tesla statue in Silicon Valley.
It's a comical clip that sheds light on the short-attention span of impatient, distracted Valley venture capitalists who are concerned more about the "hot" markets and don't even allow the modern day Tesla to show them his invention for wireless charging.
"If this guy thinks he can go after three markets at once, he's crazy," says one VC.
"If you had to pick one market, which would you pick?" another VC asks Tesla, who invented incredible things like alternating current, X-rays, robotics, wireless communication, particle beam weapons and the electric motor.
"Energy is the simplest way to think about it," Tesla responds.
"Energy is not as hot as it used to be," the VC says.
"Maybe you can keep things simple," another VC offers. "What about some kind of tie-in to Facebook? Or a Kickstarter campaign."
The video is pretty funny and you'll get a kick out of the last few seconds. But, just as GigaOM founder Om Malik wrote in this insightful post, the video also bring up some important questions: Are investors today less interested in groundbreaking inventions that are often more risky? Do they prefer "softer aspects of technology," as Malik puts it, that provide quick exits?
From Malik's post:
That's the trend that all investors, in some respects are, moving toward. They're all looking for the next Facebook or the next Twitter, but no one wants to look for the next Juniper or the next Intel or even the next ARM. I am not saying Facebook and Twitter are not great companies and have not scaled dramatically and impacted the world. What I am pointing to is the fact that Silicon Valley funds fewer and fewer silicon companies.
Why are we assuming that we are all done with developing new kinds of chips for uses that we are not even imagining yet? Are we done inventing the routing technologies of the future?
What do you think? Is the way VCs invest nowadays stunting our growth in a technology sense?

Citation: Boote, K.J., Allen Jr, L.H., Prasad, P.V., Baker, J.T., Gesch, R.W., Snyder, A.M., Pan, D., Thomas, J.M. 2005. Elevated temperature and CO2 impacts on pollination, reproductive growth, and yield of several globally important crops. Journal of Agricultural Meteorology of Japan. 60:469-474.
Interpretive Summary: Carbon dioxide (CO2) of the atmosphere is predicted to rise from 370 parts per million (ppm) today up to 540-970 ppm by 2100, and potentially cause global warming of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit (F). Higher temperatures could hurt seed yields. Therefore, ARS and University of Florida scientists at Gainesville measured the effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on yields of rice, dry bean, soybean, and peanut grown at two levels of CO2 (350 ppm, near ambient, and 700 ppm, double ambient) and at five maximum/minimum daily temperature cycles ranging from 82/64 to 104/86 degrees F. Each crop had a specific temperature that was optimum for seed yield, and yields decreased progressively to zero at about 18 degrees F above each specific optimum temperature. Compared to rice, dry bean was more sensitive to high temperatures whereas soybean and peanut were more tolerant. Pollination failure was the chief cause of yield declines at high temperatures. Yield increases caused by elevated CO2 were just as sensitive to high temperatures as yields at ambient temperature. Knowledge gained will enable scientists to search for crops that can yield well at higher temperatures, and thus ameliorate potential adverse impacts of global warming.
Technical Abstract: Carbon dioxide (CO2) might rise to 540-970 parts per million (ppm) by 2100, and cause global temperature to rise 1.4-5.8 Celsius. Studies to determine effects of elevated temperature and doubled CO2 on reproductive growth and yield of rice, dry bean, soybean, and peanut were conducted. Diurnal treatments were 28/18, 32/32, 36/26, 40/30, and 44/34 Celsius at 350 or 700 ppm CO2. Vegetative growth was tolerant but reproductive growth failed rapidly with increasing mean daily temperature. Above 25 Celsius rice grain yield declined progressively, reaching zero at 35 Celsius attributed to failed pollination. Dry bean was more sensitive, with highest yield at 23 Celsius, reaching zero at 32 Celsius. Soybean and peanut were more tolerant than rice; their grain yields declined above 26 Celsius and reached zero at 40 Celsius. Pollen viability of dry bean and peanut followed a temperature response similar to grain yield. Rice maintained grain-size with rising temperatures whereas dry bean, soybean, and peanut seed size declined. There were no beneficial interactions of CO2 with elevated temperature. Detrimental effects of elevated temperature on reproductive processes will be very important under future global environmental change.

Through crating, Healing Hands Studio will provide a space of wellness that nurtures the human spirit, and overall health and well being. Research continues to show that knitting, as well as, other crafts can be used as a tool for wellness. A ground breaking study published in the British Journal of Occupational Therapy concluded, "Engaging in frequent knitting has the potential to induce feelings of calm and relaxation and to raise ones mood." When we consider the mind/body connection to wellness, reducing stress is important to help maintain ones overall health.
Often times, women are the care givers of their family and friends,
Managing one health can take a toll on ones mind, body and spirit. Combine these issues with shame around ones health, especially health issues where there is stigma, such as HIV, Depression and Breast Cancer, a woman can become pretty isolated. Healing Hands Studio, will create a community where there is no shame whether the crises is a bump in the road or long term. Even those with support systems need a support system of like minded people.
Research has shown that knitting can help one to develop positive social engagements, whereas having a sense of belonging to something larger than ones self. Also, the finish product that comes from knitting can increase one's sense of worth and accomplishment.
There are countless Knitter's stories of how the practice became a tool for wellness, from addiction to cancer. Healing Hands Studio wants to help create more stories of wellness and healing.
Rae Lewis-Thornton will incorporate her seminary training, her knowledge of living with chronic health, both HIV and Depression, her skills in Knitting, Crocheting and Beading to create a space that will nature the human spirit for women living with chronic health issues.

Recent data for the first quarter of 2010 revealed the biggest jump in the number of new firms registered by the Financial Services Authority in four years. Driving this trend was the number of seasoned finance professionals setting up on their own in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
Robert Stafler, managing director at Excellion Capital, is typical of this new breed of boutique corporate advisors. Having cut his teeth at JP Morgan in investment banking and equity capital markets he struck out on his own with Raffael Johnen. "We find that large companies are increasingly seeking independent advice from selected, high-quality boutiques as a natural complement to their bulge bracket investment banking relationships," he explains. "Sometimes the driving force is the client's desire to receive truly impartial advice untainted by the conflicts of interest that prevail in the larger organisations that serve many competing interests. Other times, they turn to firms like ours when the transaction size is below £200m and the involvement of a bulge bracket firm is not warranted."
Another adviser who quit a bigger bank to work for a boutique firm is Darren Redmayne who helped set up the London offices for Lincoln International. Redmayne says the chance to control his own destiny working for an owner-managed business persuaded him to leave his previous role at Close Brothers. "In the sort of difficult environment we saw during the crisis, senior people are asking themselves 'what do I really want to do?'" he adds.
Stafler reckons the emergence of investment banking boutiques in itself is not a surprising phenomenon. What is remarkable, however, is the quality of advice as well as the speed of transaction execution that clients are able to obtain from selected, sophisticated, smaller firms – and that at substantially less cost. "Our clients realise that small is beautiful – working with a qualified niche firm often means less politics, less process, speedy execution, smaller cost and by no means less sound advice," Stafler says.
With so many top flight advisers cutting loose from big banks more and more high-quality transactions will be executed by these sophisticated and flexible firms. That means the pressure will increase on traditional investment banks as shift in market share begins.

- For oral dosage forms (capsules or tablets):
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose of this medicine, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not double doses.
Keep out of the reach of children.
Store the medicine in a closed container at room temperature, away from heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep from freezing.
Do not keep outdated medicine or medicine no longer needed.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that slow down the nervous system, possibly causing drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds; sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine; prescription pain medicine or narcotics; barbiturates; medicine for seizures; muscle relaxants; or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are taking this medicine.
Do not take this medicine within 1 hour of taking antacids or medicine for diarrhea. Taking them too close together will make the belladonna alkaloids less effective.
Belladonna alkaloids will often make you sweat less, causing your body temperature to increase. Use extra care not to become overheated during exercise or hot weather while you are taking this medicine, as overheating could possibly result in heat stroke. This is especially important in children taking belladonna alkaloids.
This medicine may cause your eyes to become more sensitive to light than they are normally. Wearing sunglasses and avoiding too much exposure to bright light may help lessen the discomfort.
This medicine may cause some people to have blurred vision or to become drowsy, dizzy, or less alert than they are normally. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert or able to see well.
This medicine may cause a dry mouth, nose, or throat. For temporary relief of mouth dryness, use sugarless candy or gum, melt bits of ice in your mouth, or use a saliva substitute. However, if your mouth continues to feel dry for more than 2 weeks, check with your dentist. Continuing dryness of the mouth may increase the chance of dental disease, including tooth decay, gum disease, and fungus infections.
Side Effects of Belladonna/Phenobarbital – Belladonna Alkaloids And Phenobarbital (Oral Route)

Welcome to Balboa Park!(excerpted from the Introduction to Discover Balboa Park, 2nd Edition, © Ridgway Park Publishing)
There is no place on Earth like Balboa Park. History, art, architecture and green-space, all contribute to its magic. Called the "Smithsonian of the West" because of the close proximity of its 15 museums, it is so much more.
An outstanding collection of museums, theaters, performing arts venues and one of the world's finest Zoological parks entertain and educate millions of visitors each year. A multitude of recreational opportunities may also be found in this splendid setting. Here the visitor can explore formal lawn bowling and hiking trails...folk-dancing and jazz ballet...award-winning Shakespeare and the world's largest motion pictures. Everything from hands-on science and serious art to puppetry and pandas exist side by side with a recreation center for the blind and a disc (Frisbee®) golf course…A visit doesn't have to be expensive–in fact a whole day can be spent without laying out much cash at all. For less than you would spend at Disneyland for the day, you can experience most of the Park's cultural attractions–if you have the stamina for it! But it's also possible to enjoy the gorgeous outdoor environment and recreational offerings without spending more than the cost of the gas to get there and maybe a picnic lunch.
These days there is an admission charge for almost all major museums around the world. It's just not possible for municipalities to cover the large cost of operating a fine museum with tax money. It only makes sense to "tax" those who enjoy its contents. Balboa Park's museums are no different. But they do make their wonderful collections available free one weekday each month (with a few exceptions), and in most cases at a greatly reduced cost to students on field trips.
Discover Balboa Park, the official guidebook of the Balboa Park Visitors Center, gives the reader inside info on the history, architecture, horticulture and cultural attractions Balboa Park is known for. But you will also discover…

It's easy to bag on Nation's Restaurant News, the journal of large, food-service-powered restaurant chains, but it is easily the most comprehensive window into the way that tens of millions of Americans actually eat on a daily basis and therefore makes for fascinating reading. Along these lines: NRN recently published a story by consultant Jim Sullivan titled "25 descriptive words that help merchandise the menu."
As actual advice, it's more useful in a general sense (i.e., "Think about how you describe your food") than in a specific sense; it's difficult to write anything one-size-fits-all about menus. Reverse-engineering the 25 items is relevatory, though, in terms of what we like to eat as a nation, and why.
The numbered terms are Sullivan's; the commentary that follows is mine.
1. Signature dish
Admittedly useful, but just remember that if you apply it to more than half the menu, it loses some punch and the non-"signature" items really suffer by comparison.
2. Drenched
In a culture plagued with obesity, drenched is both a sad reflection of standard practices and a sharp tool in the salesperson's kit.
3. Thick
See above. Also, presumably it can only be applied to items that are actually thick.
4. Seared
Less a sales technique than an incredibly literal description of a cooking technique.
5. Lightly dusted
Potentially powerful, but a great deal is riding on the particular substance being dusted.
6. Jet Fresh
When I read this, I immediately thought of a high-powered blow-drier propelling a plateful of shrimp across a dining room. Probably meant to suggest that the food is not even vaguely local, but was flown in at great expense, to be reflected on the bill at the end of the meal.
7. Special
Also an unfortunate, mostly unfashionable euphemism for the developmentally disabled, so it might be wise to tread carefully here.
8. My customers love it
A pitch-perfect approach to selling Americans—if something is best-selling, popular, or loved by many other people, it must be good, despite the piles of evidence that most other people are basically well-meaning idiots.
9. Popular
See above. Run, lemmings, run!
10. Drizzled with
See "Lightly dusted."
11. Thick
The word so good, it had to be stated twice. Thick. Aw yeah. THICK. "This steak, madame, is thick. I mean, really, really thick. And the potatoes. Thick. And the wine? Thick."
12. Seasoned
Really? Seasoned? How about with? Or the? Those are good words to work into a menu as well. Oh, and and.
13. My Favorite
When offered up unprompted, my favorite translates in the savvy diner's mind to best margins and/or just about to expire.
14. Sold Out
This is actually a terrible descriptor, because it means the customer can't actually order the dish.
15. Crunchy
Good for salad, fried chicken, and breakfast cereal; less good for flan, iced tea, or meatballs. Apply with caution.
16. Home-made
Basically a lie in this context, yes? How about grand-aunt-made? Also a lie, but a more intriguing, specific lie.
17. Crunchy
Boy, we're really pushing crunchy here, aren't we?
18. Bubbly, melted cheese
Lord knows bubbly, unmelted cheese wouldn't be as pleasant.
19. Chunky
Good upon initial examination, but not actually very versatile. "Madame will, I think, enjoy the lemon and veal parcel; our chef has described it as 'exceedingly chunky.' It comes with a side of chunky asparagus served with a beurre blanc made in the tradition of Vichy, which is to say also very chunky. In the meantime, please enjoy your chunky dinner roll."
20. Fresh-ground
Probably best for coffee or pepper.
21. Made Fresh Daily
Actually quite a useful one, assuming it's true.
22. So fresh it slept in the ocean last night
Eerily evocative of The Godfather.
23. Made Fresh Daily
Probably familiar to those of us who read item number 21. Perhaps the ultimate evidence of the sales expertise of this author is the fact that he has sold to us 22 descriptive terms as 25.
24. Spicy-not hot
What does this even … what?
25. Brand New
In Europe, local specialties are perfected and cherished, presented with pride for centuries to come. In America, we're just figuring out how to add bacon to ice cream sundaes, and are deeply proud of the transgressive nature of this discovery. We still have a ways to go.
To be fair to Sullivan, if you use all 22 of his descriptors to sum up a single dish, you're left with quite a convincing line of patter:
"And now I'd like to tell you about one of our brand-new items, homemade and also made fresh daily. It's one of our special signature dishes, and my customers love it. We start with a thick, seared cod so jet-fresh it slept in the ocean last night and wrap it in crunchy, chunky, seasoned bacon that's drenched in butter and bubbly, melted cheese and lightly dusted with fresh-ground pepper and drizzled with a spicy-not hot balsamic cardamom dressing. It's my favorite and very popular, but, unfortunately, it's sold out."

When hiking in the mountains, please be advised
that weather conditions are very changeable, and dress accordingly.
Hypothermia is the number one cause of death for outdoor recreationists.
Even in temperatures as warm as the 70s, hypothermia can occur.
Cool winds, wet or damp clothing, and even lack of sunshine can
cause hypothermia. Signs of hypothermia include shivering, slow
or slurred speech, stumbling around, exhaustion and sleepiness.
Always check weather reports, use layering techniques when dressing,
and carry wet-weather gear.
Drink water and nibble on small snacks as you
If you or a companion seems to be suffering from hypothermia,
remove all wet clothing and replace with dry clothes. Wear a hat,
and wrap up. DO NOT SLEEP!
Notify someone of your whereabouts,
when you hike, bike, and ski in the mountains. Place, on the windshield
of your car, a description of where you expect to be and the time
you expect to be back.
Even though mountain water looks sparkling clean, it is important
that water from springs, lakes, ponds, and streams be properly
treated before drinking. One inexpensive method is to boil water
at a rolling boil for five minutes. Filters should filter down
to 1 micron.
Pay attention to your body -- if you start to experience muscle
cramps, nausea, dizziness, weakness, and exhaustion, you may be
experiencing the first steps of heat related illness. Find a cool
place to rest, and cool with wet towels or clothing. Rest, and
drink a half-glass of water every half hour. Avoid drinks with
sugars, caffeine, and alcohol, and do not take salt tablets.
White, puffy clouds may turn into thunderstorms. If caught in
a storm, stay away from high ridges and take cover in a valley
or ravine. Stay away from tall trees and be careful about flash
flooding. A group of people should separate, each standing a few
yards away from each other.
When in National Forests, please obey posted regulations. If entering
a Wilderness area, be advised that permits are required and no
mechanized vehicles of any kind, including bikes, are allowed.
Firearms are prohibited in National Forests without a NFS permit.
Many song birds, birds of prey, and much of the wildlife in the
forests are protected.
Place your trash in provided containers or pack it out with you.
Please follow all fire safety guidelines, as stated below.
Do not urinate or defecate near water sources! Use designated
restroom areas whenever possible.
Fire Safety
9 out of 10 forest fires are caused by people.
leave at least a 3-foot clearing around the smoker. Grind out
the cigarette, cigar, or pipe tobacco in the dirt. Never grind
it out on a stump or log. Also, it is unsafe to smoke while
walking or riding a horse or trail bike. Use your ashtray while
in the car.
After a BBQ: After using briquets, dunk them with water
-- don't just sprinkle. Soak the coals and stir them until they
are out and then soak them again. Carefully feel the coals with
your bare hands to make sure.
Building Campfires:
* Build campfires away from overhanging branches,
steep slopes, rotten stumps, logs, dry grass, and leaves. Pile
any extra wood away from the fire.
* Keep plenty of water handy and have a shovel for throwing dirt
on the fire if it gets out of control.
* Start with dry twigs and small sticks.
* Add larger sticks as the fire builds up.
* Put the largest pieces of wood on last, pointing them toward
the center of the fire, and gradually push them into the flames.
* Keep the campfire small. A good bed of coals or a small fire
surrounded by rocks gives plenty of heat. Scrape away litter,
duff, and any burnable material within a 10-foot-diameter circle.
This will keep a small fire from spreading.
* Be sure your match is out! Hold it until it is cold. Break it
so that you can feel the charred portion before discarding it.
Make sure it is cold out. Conserve matches -- carry a candle as
a fire starter.
* Never leave a campfire unattended! Even a small breeze can cause
a fire to spread. * Drown the fire in water. Make sure all embers, coals, and sticks
are wet. Move rocks -- there may be burning embers underneath.
* Sir the remains, add more water, and stir again. Be sure all
burned material has been extinguished and cooled. If you do not
have water, use dirt. Mix enough soil and sand with the embers.
Continue adding and stirring until all material is cooled.
* Feel all materials with your bare hand. Make sure that no roots
are burning. Do not bury your coals -- they can smolder and break
Animal Safety
Bears: Do not approach bears, and most especially cubs! With
black bears, as a rule, you should fight back and behave aggressively,
and play dead with Grizzlies. When bears approach your camp, make
as much noise as possible and wave your arms in the air. Often
you will be able to frighten the bear off this way.
Mountain Lions: Keep all members of your party close to
you. Make yourself seem as large as possible and fight back as
aggressively as you can. Do not run!

September 06, 2007
Its amazing. Closer to the beginning of the year I set a six month goal for myself. And pretty much six months later I realized it. A few days before going to Kuala Lumpur for the Captaris Partner Conference, I told myself I would buy an apartment within 6 months in Amsterdam. 30 viewings, and 4 offers later, I signed the papers at a local notary's office in Amsterdam. I am now the proud owner of a 2 floor, 120 square meter apartment in Amsterdam's Old West neighborhood. Well, I signed the papers. Money has yet to change hands and that won't happen for nearly 2 months, but I am committed. Well, I have a few days to realize my mistake and get out of it, but I don't think I will.
Buying a place in the Netherlands proved to be far more difficult than I ever expected. I tried to look in Utrecht, but couldn't get an estate agent to call me back. No, really, they just never called me even though they said they would when I spoke with them in person in their offices. I had great success with a estate agent and mortgage broker in Amsterdam and would recommend them to any expat looking to make the big move. In fact, they are both from the same company: Finsens. But even with a great agent, I had to see lots of crap apartments before finding a few gems. And those were just the ones I could see. Some even turned me away when I had an appointment…the owner just didn't feel like showing it that day.
As I mentioned, I bought it, but I won't be moving in for a while. First I have to wait till November before the money changes hands. Then I am doing renovations and that will take 2 months. So I probably won't actually move in until January. So I am most of the way there and soon I will be done and living in a new apartment…woohoo!!!

The one thing that defines us as Christians is our relationship with Christ. As Catholics, we have the sacraments to enhance that relationship, facilitate its growth, and to bring it back to life when it has died through serious sin.
The divine revelation given to us by Christ is that God is love and desires to love us in a deep and intimate way. He is not a God of vengeance and retribution, but wants all people to experience His love. We are the primary dispensers of His love in the world. We are created to be a wellspring of His love, which we receive from Him and allow it to pour forth from us to the world.
Consequently, in our journey of faith we have to continually evangelize ourselves to be open to His love and mirror His image to the world by loving one another to the best of our ability. This journey of faith has many hills to climb and dark valleys to travel through, but we strive through these trials to seek out His strength, His peace, His hope, and His consolation, so as to always grow closer to Him and consequently, become more open to His love.
Our work of evangelizing the world then is filling the world with His love, peace, joy, and consolation. We are not called to exterminate those who live as if there is no God, but to transform them by His love. We are called to show them the goodness of Christ and the benefits of being in relationship with Him. So the primary evangelizing message is God loves you beyond anything you can imagine.

Once upon a time there was a seaside neighbourhood in the Vancouver area called Steveston. It is known for transforming into Storybrooke a.k.a. the fictional town in the TV show, Once Upon a Time. My cousin and I would religiously watch the series with a glass of wine in hand when I lived in Brisbane. I mean, Hook and Prince Charming are just too good to look at.
Steveston is roughly a 40 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. It is accessible via public transport, it will just take you quite awhile to get there. But yes, it is worth it. It is a quaint town that reminded me of photos I had seen of American seaside villages. There were many colourful wooden buildings with hand-crafted signs hanging from above the doors. It seemed so detached from the architecture and pace of Vancouver's city, yet you really aren't that far away.
Steveston is a place for wandering. Just wander and snap, wander and snap. There are boutiques and souvenir stores selling local and handmade products. The Fisherman's Wharf is beautiful on a sunny evening. My sources tell me in the morning you can also buy fish straight off the boat from the local fisherman. Now that's fresh!
Like this? Check out my other favourite Vancouver day trips
Steveston seafood
One of my favourite smells is that of a fresh sea breeze. I definitely got my hit that night as we sat on the patio of Sockeye's City Grill and ate our seafood platters. Between five of us we shared two platters that included cod, halibut, calamari, oysters, prawns and fries. With some freshly cracked pepper on top it was a great way to try all different types of the local catch. Be wary though, the restaurants ain't cheap. Because they use the locally caught produce and the fact Steveston is basically a tourist mecca, expect some inflation. But hey, it's pretty.
After dinner we grab some gelato and frozen yoghurt from Timothy's around the corner. Then we did an impromptu photo shoot by the waterside. We posed, seriously and hilariously. We took too many group selfies and I got my sunset shot. Perfection.
Before driving home though we found an empty playground with some very fun activities. What are you meant to do but swing, jump, slide and whirl?
Once Upon a Time in Steveston locations
Even though it is basically summer holidays for Once Upon a Time as well, there were places I saw that I remember from the show. This included the main street they film many scenes on and the pier where Hook's boat is docked. I felt the same when I visited Warner Bros. Studios last year — putting pieces of the puzzle together. But even if you are not a fan like myself, you still need to visit. I am so glad I got the chance to visit Steveston before I left Vancouver. It is my kind of place: serene, beautiful and by the sea.
What is your kind of place?

|View from Camp deck.
This year, I am not rushing back to dive right into summer school. Of course, this is the year that summer school doesn't start until June 11th, so even if I was teaching over the summer I would still have one more week to wind down from the year. But this year, I am not teaching over the summer. This is the summer of Operation Stork Capture. We're going to lasso that damn bird and force it to grace us with its elusive (to us, anyway) gift(s). The thing that kind of sucked was that I was slated to start Lupron during the week we were in Maine. I have a packing list all set and I had to write in "sharps container, alcohol swabs, syringes" which hurt me a little on the inside. But, no matter--if I'm going to be put into a sort of chemical menopause for a while there is no more beautiful place to have hot flashes than Acadia National Park. It meant that we had to plan any strenuous hikes for no later than Monday, since I wasn't sure what Lupron would do for my stamina. It meant that we were going to do "Acadia Lite." It meant that infertility was encroaching on our sacred downtime, our precious hike-and-kayak-and-kick-back-with-a-bottle-on-the-deck vacation. It was worth it to get started early on the cycle. But it still sucked.
But then...we were given a tremendous gift! We had our follow-up consultation with our wonderful fertility doctor this week. And I am flabbergasted and amazed. I am being put on a completely different protocol than the last two times. There is very little that is the same about this IVF cycle--and that is so encouraging. But the BEST part, the part that actually put a tear in my eye, is that I don't have to take Lupron at all this time. They are doing an antagonist protocol, where my only suppression is the pill and then I will start taking Ganarelix to keep me from ovulating about day 6 of stims through egg retrieval. Holy wow, that is the best news I've gotten in a LONG time! This means that I do not have to deal with the side effects of Lupron at all. Ganarelix doesn't have any of those nasty side effects (hot flashes, headaches, insomnia, extreme irritability, and the awesome Lupwon Bwain effect that makes me feel like I've had a stroke and have lost all my words). And, best of all, I don't have to take needles with me to Maine. We can have a (relatively) infertility-free vacation! I don't know who is more excited about this, me or Bryce. I am not a pleasant person on Lupron. And to now be completely and totally free of that nasty drug for the entirety of this next cycle...it feels almost too good to be true! I am beyond thrilled.
|See ya, infertility--you aren't wanted here!
So now, instead of only doing carriage road trails, we can hike the way we like to. We have a real, true vacation to kick off our cycle, not a sort-of vacation that still includes that insidious red plastic box with the biohazard symbol on it. We are free!


text: I was looking around our home yesterday, thinking of decorating. I've been greedily grabbing every catalog from my mailbox looking at curtains. But then it occurred to me as I looked at the clutter from our puppy and our children... You know what the best decorating would be? To clean it.... That should be the cheapest way to decorate it too. Really, when I see new drapes as the backdrop for the Great-Lego-Explosion of August 2015... Are they going to look that good?

With the increasing importance of online reviews in the provider selection process, healthcare systems are adapting their digital strategies to improve consumer and patient experience. One of the nation's most integrated health systems, UnityPoint Health, has been doing just that. They've been publishing star ratings and comments from their Press Ganey survey data to provider profile pages for over a year now. We spoke to UnityPoint Health's Kasey Duffy, Regional Marketing Director, and Blake Long, Marketing Manager, about this transparency initiative and marketing's role in driving it.
Can you give us a little background on what drove the need for this initiative around transparency?
Kasey: Fortunately for us, upper management was committed to finding innovative ways to improve patient experience. We saw transparency as a way for providers to take a leadership role in our clinics and shape positive patient experiences.
We also wanted to focus on the consumer experience. We knew we wanted to make choosing a provider as easy as possible for healthcare consumers, and wanted to give them a clear picture of their options by presenting them with detailed feedback from previous patients. That's where publishing star ratings and comments to provider profile pages came in.
What steps did you take to address those needs and get the initiative going?
Blake: We actually began making preparations for the initiative well in advance. We wanted to make sure that providers were ready and equipped with every tool available to them to lead the way in patient experience. We started by explaining how the program worked, why it was a necessary step to empower consumers in making better healthcare choices and how it would help physicians take control of their online reputation.
Although the initiative was driven by marketing, we thought it would be better for physicians to hear about the program from one of their peers. We spent a lot of time with our provider sponsor, going through all of the ins and outs of the initiative. She gave us great insights into what providers would be concerned about and the best way to educate others on the program. I would definitely recommend this approach to other practices as well. In the end, we were able to gain physician buy-in, which has been key to this initiative's success.
What challenges did you face along the way? How did you address them?
Kasey: Our biggest challenge was developing an appeals process for patient comments. What would we do if a comment was published and the provider wanted it to be deleted? Should we make a rule that everything gets published good or bad—no exceptions? This was challenging because everyone had a different idea of how the process should work.
Ultimately, we implemented a notification system allowing providers to review all their patient feedback before it is published online and to come forward with any matters of concern within 30 days. We also decided that if a provider wanted a patient comment removed from the website, they would need to fill out a special online form and state their case.
Creating the appeals process was a big challenge, however we have yet to use the process as there has never been an appeals request. I believe this can be attributed to the upfront effort we've made in working with physicians and their concerted effort toward delivering a great patient experience.
How is this initiative impacting the organization?
Blake: We believe we've helped empower healthcare consumers seek out the best provider for their needs and empowered providers to improve the patient experience. And we're seeing results. Prospective patients are now spending 50% more time on our provider profile pages and providers with reviews are receiving nearly 75% of all online appointment requests.
Patient experience scores are on the upswing as well. When looking at the data, we've seen our physician communications score improve from 92.1% to 95.2 % from the beginning of the initiative through the end of 2016. This has given us an opportunity to take a step forward as an organization, leading the way in patient experience—and our patients have noticed.
Additionally, the initiative has helped us solidify where we want to be in the healthcare marketplace as a medical group with a large network of primary providers and specialists. We want to be the easiest health system to access—and we believe we are accomplishing that.
And finally, what has Binary Fountain's technology platform helped you do?
Blake: We needed a platform and company aligned with our goals of improving healthcare consumer and patient experience. Binary Fountain's focus on healthcare, Press Ganey partnership, and deep experience with transparency and reputation management made them a logical choice. Their Binary Star Ratings solution has helped us effectively manage reviewing and publishing star ratings and comments.
Register now for the upcoming webinar on April 27th, featuring executive guest speakers from UnityPoint Health, Press Ganey, Binary Fountain and more. You'll hear strategies and advice for helping your practice become a more trusted voice for your patients as well as steps for adopting and managing a successful transparency initiative of your own.

How to get the best out of an interview
Always be polite, know what you want, do your research, listen to the person you are interviewing and remain alert for unexpected news angles - just a few tips for getting a strong interview.
Interviewing as a fact-finding tool
Interviewing is one of a journalist's main skills. It is through interviewing that you find facts, hear diverse perspectives and learn more about the issues you are covering. It's more than a yes/no process. It's about uncovering and extracting important news-worthy information that has been missed by others.
1: Always be polite
When you request an interview, you are asking someone to give their time so that you can gather information for a news story. You must remain polite and thank the interviewee at the end. Members of the public are not obliged to give an interview, and you have no right to intrude on their privacy.
However, public figures are expected to be accountable; your interview is a way for their actions to be scrutinised, although even they don't have to agree to be interviewed if they don't want to. So you need to understand that obtaining an interview is never guaranteed and, when someone agrees to be interviewed, you need to be civil and treat them with respect.
Remain polite throughout the interview
2: Don't show your emotions
Whatever you feel about what the interviewee says, try to avoid agreeing or disagreeing or showing signs of approval or disapproval.
If you are a TV reporter, avoid nodding or shaking your head, smiling or frowning when an answer is given. You might have been trained to do so-called noddies so that they can be used in editing the piece later, but they should be avoided. If the audience sees you nodding to an answer being given by the interviewee they might feel you agree with the point being made, which could damage your impartiality.
Your job is to report on the topic you are covering objectively and not get involved emotionally. It's natural to be affected by news, but a professional journalist will be true to their job of uncovering and producing facts.
You must remain objective at all times
3: Be clear on what you want
Tell the interviewee what you want to talk about and why. Be honest about the context at the outset. You should not - other than in exceptional cases where you feel that information cannot be obtained any other way – interview under false pretences. If you feel that this is needed to get to the truth of the matter, you must first obtain permission from your senior editor.
Never conduct an interview under false pretences
4: Don't provide a script
Although it's important to give an interviewee fair warning of the areas you want to cover, you must never set out the questions as a list and hand them over to them to read before the interview. You will get asked to do this from time to time. Don't, to do so could turn the interview into a free public relations (PR) exercise.
However, you should explain the scope of the interview and the general areas of questioning you want to cover. This will give the interviewee enough time to prepare, which, in turn, might lead to a more informative interview.
Don't let your interview turn into a PR exercise
5: Respond to news angles
Make it clear that, although the interview is for a particular purpose, you may ask supplementary questions if anything unexpected arises. If during an interview a new piece of information is revealed that is of interest, you need to be able to follow it up. That's why it's important to give the interviewee only an outline of what you want to discuss rather than limit yourself to set questions.
Listen out for the unexpected and act on it
6: Do your research
Make sure you know your facts and the history of the story before you carry out the interview. You owe it to the person you have arranged to talk to, and to your audience, to be as informed as you possibly can.
You must not waste the time of the interviewee or your audience. There is nothing more embarrassing than making a silly mistake or being corrected by the interviewee. You should also spend enough time researching the background of the interviewee, as well as the topic being covered. It may help you to understand why they say what they do.
You must know what you are talking about
7: Don't be judgemental
Even if you think the interviewee is in the wrong, you have to treat the person with respect. You must not be swayed by your own personal feelings. You should always remain objective, fair and impartial, whatever the topic and no matter how you feel about what is being said.
Your emotions don't matter, you are paid to report. You need to use your interviewing skills to get to the truth of the matter and present that information in a way that leaves the audience free to decide what is important.
Your opinion doesn't count, what is said counts
8: Don't try to appear clever
An interview is about uncovering facts that, had it not been for your interview, may never have surfaced. It is not about making you look and sound great. If you try to be smart, members of the audience may sense this and you may lose their respect. It could also lead to tension in your interview that could distract.
If you try to look smart you could alienate the audience and the interviewee
9: Pay attention
Never be so engrossed in thinking about your next question that you fail to hear the previous answer. It is extremely annoying if a journalist asks a question that has just been answered. Equally, it is embarrassing for a journalist to fail to pick up on a line given in the previous answer. Your audience will know you are not listening, and, if it is an important point you missed, they will feel let down by you.
Listen to the interviewee at all times
10: Don't fidgit and fiddle
Try to avoid anything that could distract from what is being said. Move papers, pens, etc out of reach of both the interviewee and you. Also, try to avoid sitting on chairs with wheels or chairs that rock - this can also be distracting. Avoid obstacles between you and the interviewee, such as a large desk; it creates barriers. Ask the interviewee to sit in a comfortable, relaxed position so that they can concentrate on your questions and on giving their answers.
Avoid anything that could distract from what is being said
11: Check for outside noises
Check for external sounds that could disrupt the flow. The exception is where the noise is part of the story. The last thing you want is return to the studio with a great interview in terms of the content but which is unfit for broadcast.
Avoid anything that could distract from what is being said
12: Summing up
Try to sum up the main points of the interview at the end. It's a way to confirm any news angles that were raised during the interview. The final word should always be thanks.

Of course, you (Patrick) are correct in saying "literals in RDF were simply a way to capture raw data that would be interpreted and utilized by higher level applications", but I also think Dan's right. Certainly the natural assumption in my opinion is that, in RDF as it is (without datatypes), literals are of type string, and there is a "built-in" equality test by string comparison. Of course, RDF applications know this, and hence they know how to deal with the results of a string comparison in determining whether <ex:age>10</ex:age> is equal to <ex:weight>10</ex:weight> (or whether to use that comparison at all), but that involves application semantics over and above what is currently built into RDF (just as RDF would determine that ex:age and ex:weight weren't the same property, and an application might know that they were). What we are contemplating in the datatypes proposal is whether (and how) to change this situation. --Frank -- Frank Manola The MITRE Corporation 202 Burlington Road, MS A345 Bedford, MA 01730-1420 mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com voice: 781-271-8147 FAX: 781-271-875Received on Friday, 16 August 2002 07:35:24 UTC

Jesus Christ told numerous parables as recorded in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. According to the dictionary a parable is a story designed to teach a moral. Ah, but they are so much more. Depending upon the level of understanding a parable can be just a simple story or an elaborate display of God's love for us. As our understanding of God deepens so do new levels of understanding of his parables occur. The following parables are beautiful expressions of God's love for each and every one of us. Many of the parables in the book of Matthew are repeated in slightly different versions and recorded by other disciples - in Mark, Luke or John.
Scroll down to desired verse or parable. Or select from the following books of the bible: Matthew - Mark - Luke - John

I went to the Hansard Society's launch of its eighth annual Audit of Political Engagement last night. Details of which can be found here.
The Preface states:
People are happy to be spectators rather than players...only three in 10 agree that if people like themselves get involved they can change the way the UK is run.
That begs the question of what on earth Labour's leadership thinks it is playing at dangling opportunities to the general public to vote in future internal leadership elections, select Labour candidates in its Refounding Labour 'consultation' document published on Tuesday. An error compounded by offering the same old 'black hole' type of consultation operated by New Labour that led to spectacular defeat at the last General Election.
Surely the gamechanger will be persuading many more members of the general public that they can shape the way the UK is run by paying a subscription and joining the Labour Party?
What will underpin that will be giving members a say and the financial remodeling of the Labour Party so that the full rate membership subscription can be halved to an affordable £20/annum, and membership quadrupled.

Ok given my interest in photography, I have a side interest in computational methods for image analysis. Happily the code didn't find wally (cos I think it's a challenge for me that I would rate it as a suitable Turing's test )
But at the end of the page it does offer a solution to implementing your OCR method for rating MCQ exam papers which is fantastic!
And one can even find Mathematica codes online. But most of the those algorithms are based on the idea that we look for similarities with Waldo's face, as described in problem 3 on http://www1.cs.columbia.edu/~blake/'s webpage. You can find papers on that problem, e.g. Friencly & Kwan (2009) (based on statistical techniques, but Waldo is here a pretext to discuss other issues actually), or more recently (but more complex) Garg et al. (2011) on matching people in images of crowds.

South African constitutional court has denied Oscar Pistorius the right to appeal his murder conviction.
South African constitutional court has denied Oscar Pistorius the right to appeal his murder conviction "for lack of prospects of success."
An appeals court dismissed a lower court's lesser manslaughter conviction and found Pistorius guilty of murder in December.
The case now moves to the South African High Court so that Pistorius can be sentenced for murder in April.
In the early hours of Valentine's Day 2013, Pistorius shot his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, through the bathroom door as he claims that he mistakenly believed she was a home invader.
• IAAF replaces New York Diamond League meet with Rabat
Pistorius served less than a year in jail. He was granted bail and extended his house arrest until his sentencing hearing.
The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, but a judge can reduce that sentence.
Pistorius is best known for becoming the first amputee sprinter to compete at the Olympics. He competed in the 400-meter dash at the 2012 Summer Games in London wearing carbon-fiber blades.

What is CSCS?
Although most people are familiar with CSCS there are many views expressed regarding its purpose and what it means to have a CSCS card. To summarise:
A CSCS card is:
- A certification of the cardholder's identity
- A certification of the cardholder's qualifications
- A certification of the cardholder's training
A CSCS card is not:
- A passport to gain entry to site
- A competency card
- A guarantee of a cardholder's competence
- A Health and Safety card
- A card for off-site employees
- A certification of the cardholder's fitness to work
- A record of the cardholder's work experience

We asked, you elected, and also these are the outcomes: it's the 10 coolest cars ever! But what does it mean for an auto to be great? Well, as you might picture, it's not a specific science, and also everyone's point of view is different.
The Coolest Car In The World
The amazing cars right here are the ones that took pride of place as posters on bed room wall surfaces, or these days can be located enhancing the histories or wallpapers on computer or smartphone screens. They have an ageless top quality that puts them down as instantaneous standards, yet there's something even more to them that helps their cool reason. It can be down to appearances, the innovation aboard, and even what the car is capable of, there's no fixed interpretation of just what makes a vehicle cool.
There can even be a celeb link - the amazing variable of someone famous is most likely to rub off on whatever they drive, just take a look at movie celebrity Steve McQueen. If it had not been for the automobile chase in the flick Bullitt, would the Ford Mustang be as revered as it is? Besides, it's not like its arch-rival, the Chevrolet Camaro, is held in rather as high a regard.
Understatement could additionally offer a car the amazing factor. While other cars look big as well as bold with a real 'consider me' mindset, the trendy cars and truck is extra reserved, and doesn't need to shout concerning its presence. Whether it's characteristically stylish lines or just a look that does not make a song and dance concerning a car's possible performance, this is one more means to collect trendy points.
A motorsport link is additionally an excellent way of gaining trendy condition. While plenty of cars obtain a sporty transformation in the mission available for sale, the trendy cars are the ones that have the racing or rallying pedigree that warrant their existence. A restricted production run that's made to meet a homologation requirement only ramps up the trendy factor further, while cars that are bit more than very finely camouflaged auto racing cars with number plates also provide a trendy aspect that few others can match.
