Oh how sad to hear on Monday my trusty, lovely taurus car had a cracked engine head at almost 200,000 miles….a seriously life ending report for the car. She was a good one, after 6 years and almost 170,000 miles, we went through so much, traveled to may places, delivered so many goodies, had such great times. And this car had very few repairs needed. I hauled over 600 lbs/week of grain and feed in that car, went ice fishing with her, took my German cousin Anetta to Duluth, went to visit my friend Heidi in Decorah, Iowa, to visit family in San Antonio, TX, and even to North Carolina. Plus MANY miles driving to and from Stillwater and Minneapolis/St.Paul.
So in a panic, I had to find a new car to replace my unreplaceable car…and found a 2000 Subaru with 91,000 miles and more space for hauling than I could believe! She's a sleek machine and I hope this car can surpass my previous one's abilities. My mechanic said yes, so home she came. Next week she'll get to haul the 50 ducklings home from the other farm- as soon as it warms up a bit.

Create a coordinated strategy.
There are a number of tax strategies that will allow you to increase the funds available to you in retirement, further improve your monthly cash flow by reducing costs, and protect your assets from frivolous litigation and catastrophic illness. You may even manage your taxes while possibly helping your grandchildren with funding college, and get the appropriate tax deductions for certain current health care needs such as prescriptions, eye care, etc. Create a customized tax plan that includes all of the above.
Protect yourself from potential litigation.
These days, we have found many retirees want to stay busy during their retirement years. You decide to capitalize on your years of professional experience--maybe some part-time consulting or a shift to the private sector, etc.
All goes well, and then it happens. Through no fault of your own, you find yourself in the middle of a frivolous lawsuit instigated by a litigious lawyer. Did you know your income from IRA's and other retirement plans may be at risk? Without the proper protections in place, a lot of you and your family's income from wages, pensions, and retirement accounts may be attachable in a settlement. Even with automobile and homeowner insurance, there are limits and deductibles on most policies, and you are still liable for legal costs to defend yourself. Fortunately, there are some relatively painless solutions.

In our last entry Sarah shared with you the detritus of Google's attempts at social networking. Part of this is good and sensible. Working in the tech sector, like working in any industry, involves trying things that very well might fail, unless you pivot properly at the right time. And then there are things that are before their time (think Friendster before Facebook) that don't catch up when the wave comes. Ning is precisely one of those stories.
"Ning" means peace in Chinese and it was an attempt to build more private, more personal social networks. It attempted to take the most popular features of facebook: photos, discussions, and messaging and put them into an open-source platform which could be monetized or not. For those who were simply creating a Ning for their Boy or Girl Scout troop, neither the numbers nor the resources would justify a "paid" Ning account. For those who were trying to leverage and monetize their brands and endeavors, the paid Ning would have more features and support. It makes sense from the external view. LinkedIn, one of the most power names in social media, works on this "freemium" model to this day and hour.
But Silicon Valley, after initial buzz which talked about a $4B market (yes, Billion with a "B"), lost interest and Ning decided to jettison the free users to focus on the paid users. That pivot didn't last either and ultimately Ning was acquired by Glam Media. Glam is not well known to outsiders – and they like it that way. They like to simply and quietly create and curate the best content on the web and Ning was a platform that allowed them to do that. They acquired Ning – left a lot of the existing 2.0 communities – free and paid – intact, and went on to create Ning 3.0, which they ultimately used to platform Foodie.com, which is the "Pinterest of Food" and runs entirely on the Ning platform (note: you will get hungry after browsing over to that page).
The moral of the story? In the fast-paced world of social media and the iterations that tablets/handheld devices and the prevalence of high speed internet force upon that already fast-paced world, you can still salvage a worthy idea: if you are willing to pivot to what the market wants, or ultimately, change into a butterfly from the caterpillar that you thought you weren't.

WAYNE, NJ – The local North Jersey Affiliate of Susan G. Komen is launching a new "Women's Wellness Expo" as an unofficial kickoff to the annual National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
The free expo will feature free health screenings, informative speakers and local resources so women can "be aware of what's normal for them, know their family histories, and pay heed to the importance of getting screened regularly for breast cancer."
The "women-focused" event will be held on Saturday, September 29 from 10-4 p.m. at Passaic County Technical Institute in Wayne. The Passaic County Department of Health and Board of Chosen Freeholders partnered with Komen North Jersey to sponsor the event.
"Our partnership with Komen North Jersey is focused on providing free access to health screenings and encouraging women and their families to embrace a healthy lifestyle," Passaic County Health Officer Charlene W. Gungil said in a press release. "We are particularly concerned about an increase in the incidence of breast cancer among younger residents of our county, and we're working to change that trend. We know that there are many factors that can help lower the risk of breast cancer and other diseases. By partnering with like-minded organizations like Komen, we can provide better access to information and resources that can help detect these diseases early and refer to treatment, those who need it. It's all about saving lives in our communities."
New York radio host, publisher, motivational speaker and author Joan Herrmann will be the Program Emcee and guest speaker, according to the event's press release.
According to Komen North Jersey, highlights of the 2018 Women's Wellness Expo include free health screenings and services for clinical breast exams, glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI, vision, dental/ oral, foot screenings, cardiovascular testing, genetic testing, HIV testing and BCAT cognitive screening. There will also be various seminars on breast cancer, health insurance and living a healthy life.
"Living a healthy lifestyle is important to breast health and early detection is essential to a positive outcome not only for breast cancer, but for so many other critical health issues," Komen North Jersey's Executive Director Kelly E. Nagle said. "The Women's Wellness Expo in Passaic County will go beyond raising awareness to facilitate access to care for everyone in our communities—insured or uninsured, provide health education and advocate for women to take action with their health. We are grateful to the Passaic Department of Health and all of our many generous sponsors who are helping us to save lives here in New Jersey."
The 2018 Komen North Jersey Women's Wellness Expo is generously sponsored by TAPinto.net (Presenting Media Sponsor); Aetna, Amerigroup, Atlantic Health System/Cancer Care, Maximilian Communications LLC/CYACYL, Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey (Anchor Area Sponsors); GE Healthcare, Pfizer Oncology, St. Joseph's Health, St. Mary's General Hospital and WellCare Health Plans (Speaker Sponsors); and BERGEN Magazine, Celgene, Myriad Genetics, NJ CEED, OUTFRONT Media, Pure Balance Center and RWJBarnabas Health (Wellness Sponsors).

The 5th generation of the Lexus LS was launched back in January and it handled to stun everybody thanks to its sensational appearances. Nevertheless, the car is still missing out on a couple of noteworthy functions and more notably, a high efficiency variation. Although this is still not main, it appears like the high efficiency model will strike the marketplace with the 2019 Lexus LS F. Even though the producer chose to keep peaceful about this future model, there is lots of details from trusted sources. It appears like the brand-new high efficiency LS will be a fair bit more outstanding than it was very first idea. For beginners, this will be the very first time the LS will include the F efficiency bundle. On top of that, the whole running equipment and powertrain will be modified with one scope in mind, to come up with the fastest plan in its class.
2019 Lexus LS F Review
Although basically whatever else will alter, the platform of the LS F will not. The production model will still be based upon the exact same TNGA architecture as the routine model. Nevertheless, as we stated above, the running equipment will be all brand-new.
Rather of featuring an air suspension system, like some reports recommended, the production LS F might get an adaptive set of shocks and a repaired trip suspension setup. While this is not as excellent as the air-ride for convenience, it most absolutely is for a high efficiency application.
On top of that, it likewise appears like the LS F might get high efficiency carbon-ceramic brakes, which would enhance the braking efficiency by an excellent margin, however these would likely be even worse in regards to feedback.
The production variation of the 2019 Lexus LS F is certainly going to be lower than the base LS500. Anticipate it to likewise be broader despite the fact that this might appear not likely in the meantime. The car will include larger fenders which will cover substantially broader tires, both in the front and at the back.
The front end is most likely going to keep the extremely uncommon spindle grille however the headlights and bumper are anticipated to be changed with some that would provide the car a much more aggressive appearance. The back of the LS F is likewise going to go through a couple of modifications.
Anticipate a various set of exhausts, most likely 4 of them, in addition to a big rear diffuser. The car might likewise get an active wing, which would enhance the downforce by an excellent quantity, however this is regrettably extremely not likely.
As anticipated, very little will alter inside the cabin of the 2019 Lexus LS F. Even though this will be the car's high efficiency variation, it will still be a high-end automobile. This implies the clean-looking control panel, the extremely in-depth instrument cluster or perhaps the huge infotainment system are all going to be kept.
Nevertheless, in order to offer the motorist a much better experience, the LS F is most likely going to include much better reinforced seats and perhaps a brand-new guiding wheel, more much like that discovered in the old LFA.
Engine and Specs
The all brand-new LS, unlike its predecessor, is offered just with V6 engines. This may alter with the future 2019 Lexus LS F, despite the fact that it is not likely. The present range-topping model benefits 415 horse power and 440 lb-ft of torque which is outstanding in its own right.
Nevertheless, a V8 would likely have the ability to provide a supercar-like experience without including excessive additional weight. If the reports hold true then the car may get a brand-new generation 4.7 liter twin-turbo V8 established on the exact same base as the existing twin-turbo 3.5 liter V6.
While these are simply reports, this engine would make a great deal of sense in the LS F as it would offer the car sufficient power without including excessive additional weight or fuel usage. If Lexus will handle to supply over 600 horse power and 600 lb-ft of torque then the LS F will lastly end up being a real high efficiency high-end sedan.
Regrettably these are absolutely nothing however reports so it still is uncertain if Lexus will ever have the ability to release an engine from another location much like it. A hybrid is likewise a genuine possibility however thinking about the other cars in its class, this is not likely.
Release date and Price of 2019 Lexus LS F
At the minute of writing of this short article, the Japanese maker hasn't revealed the price for basic LS model. Due to the fact that of that, the prices for F variations will get here even further down the line. The continuous base model of the LS begins near to the $80,000.
Compared with this price we can easily declare that 2019 LS F price will be far over the $100,000 mark. Its primary rivals Mercedes-AMG S63 and BMW M760i xDrive begin at $144,700 and $156,700 respectively, so the Lexus LS F will remain in this area. We approximate that the base LS F will remain in $140,000 location.
There is no specific date set for the release of this model. You can anticipate it to come at the minute when the basic LS develops itself on the marketplace. That discussed above may occur in late 2017, or most likely in the early to mid months of 2018.

Monterey Park
Monterey Park is in the San Gabriel Valley of California.
Get in[edit]
Monterey Park is located about 8 miles east of Downtown Los Angeles and is most easily accessible by car via the 10, 60 or 710 freeways.
Get around[edit]
Monterey Park has its own citywide bus system called the SPIRIT. Local area school kids affectionately dub it "the trolley". The name came from a local legend named Sir Matthew M. Goecke. Link title
See[edit][add listing]
Known as "Little Taipei" in the 1980's, Downtown Monterey Park (along Garvey Avenue) contains many Chinese businesses and restaurants. These authentic restaurants are often viewed as Monterey Park's biggest claim to fame. Like South Bay area in relation to Little Tokyo, Monterey Park and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley area (plus Rowland Heights further east on the 60 freeway) is the new residential heart of the Chinese community in Los Angeles.
While ethnic Chinese represents more than half of the city's population, incredible diversity exists in the city. Monterey Park is home to families who trace their roots to places as different as Mexico, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia. Monterey Park - Asian-American friendly, All-American, and 100% Angeleno!
Do[edit][add listing]
go to one of the many parks in Monterey Park for a picnic or to play. Barnes Park is the main park in the center of the city where many of the big events, like the 4th of July Celebration and May Days are held.
Cultural Celebrations[edit]
Chinese New Year Festival[2] - usually takes place around January or February, depending on when the Chinese New Year falls for that year.
Cherry Blossom Festival [3]a Japanese and Japanese American cultural festival that usually takes place in April in Barnes Park
Cinco de Mayo Celebration [4]around May 5 in Barnes Park. The day features a wide variety of entertainers, including Folklorico Dancers, Mariachis, and other traditional Mexican music.
Harmony Festival [5] held in the fall
Buy[edit][add listing]
Chinese knick-knacks from Tak Shing Hong on Garvey Avenue is recommended for browsing.
Tea, Tea sets, bowls and ceramics, Chinese herbs and ginseng of excellent quality can be found at Wing Hop Fung in the strip mall at the intersection of Garvey and Atlantic (in the same plaza as 99 Ranch Market)
Asian style pastries and other baked goods from the many bakeries around town (try the mango cake).
Eat[edit][add listing]
This is the San Gabriel Valley, which in Monterey Park primarily means: delicious, authentic Asian food.
Other recommended restaurants include Mandarin Noodle House at the intersection of Garvey and Chandler, Zagat rated; 501 (it's real name is Gourmet Delight but 501 is what me and my friends call it) located at 501 S. Atlantic; Empress Harbor for dim-sum (Atlantic and Garvey); JJ's Cafe is a Monterey Park classic, old school Hong Kong style San Gabriel Valley cafe located at Garvey and Ynez. Have not personally been, but have had Hong Kong Cafe on Garvey and Victory French Restaurant on Garvey, and Bollini's on Garfield recommended to me. Osho Sushi on Chandler Avenue is gorgeous inside, with authentic and super fresh sushi. Sushi Sai on Atlantic holds a special place in my heart (my Japanese friend recommends their salmon skin salad).
Drink[edit][add listing]
Two words: Ten Ren. Super famous tea shop in Taiwan. Their Monterey Park branch is located across the street from Bank of America close to the intersection of Garvey and Garfield. Everything is good and made to order, so you can specify less sugar, extra ice, etc.
Beard Papa along Atlantic Blvd and Garvey is great for freshly made cream puffs. Highly recommend those cream puffs but also the drinks, with great tea and coffee options, and you can add tapioca balls
Sleep[edit][add listing]

Marian Seldes on Teaching
Interview with Marian Seldes
Conducted by James Grissom
I am no different, really, when I am teaching or when I am acting. I am always engaged in loving my partners; learning about them, sharing with them; and learning as much as I can about myself and others. We change all the time, I think. The world and its people and its history will do that to you, if you are awake and sensitive and proactive. Our basic natures might remain the same, but we change shape a lot: We just come to realize that we were wrong about certain things. We come alive with what a particular writer or actor or musician does to us. I find this very exciting--this changing and waking up and coming alive.
Teaching was perfect for me, in that it allowed me to be involved in helping people I loved wake up and come alive. Those students were my children, of course, but also my peers. When a student discovers Sheridan or Shakespeare or Albee or Williams, I rediscover it, and I see it in an entirely new way: I see it through the young eyes of my beloved students. I would become jaded about plays and playwrights: I might have thought that their time had passed. But then the play comes to me through these passionate children of mine, and I'm in love all over again.
I was devastated when I was asked to teach. I thought it meant I was no longer viable as an actress. I thought I was moving into my older years, cast aside. I was so wrong. It changed my life completely, and I am more in love with life and people and the theatre than I ever thought I could be.
You love a student, then you teach the student to love and take care of himself. You have to be kind to yourself, husband yourself. We can never let anyone we love devalue himself. We have to lift them up; we have to let them know how valuable they are. I also try to impart to students that they should stop thinking of things too much and feeling things a bit more. If something moves you, as Tennessee [Williams] told you--as Harold Clurman believed--own it. Stand up for it. Make it yours. It may not be as powerful to you in ten or twenty years, but you still love it. It taught you something, gave you something. It is a part of you.
Anyone I teach or work with becomes a part of my life, and I am such a rich woman because of this. I have changed so much and received so much because of all the gifts people have placed at my feet.

If you know anything about me, it's that I love a full brow, but I don't like to actually do my brows. It's a problem. That's why last summer I was the brave one in the office who got my eyebrows tattooed. Microblading was an amazing experience, but like all good things, it came to an end. And after my tattoo faded away, I was back to the sparse brows I had before. I could have gotten my brows tattooed again, but it's expensive and time-consuming. I was left helpless once more... until I heard about Wunderbrow Eye Gel.
In case your social media hasn't been flooded with people talking about it, Wunderbrow is an eyebrow gel that bills itself as "waterproof, budge-proof, and transfer-proof." People really seem to like it: It's the third-most-purchased beauty product on Amazon. Hell, my mom was asking me about it before I had even heard about it, that's how far Wunderbrow's reach has traveled. When my mom knows about a beauty product before me, I know I have to investigate. So of course I called Wunderbrow in and tried it.
Since I have dark hair, I experimented with the Black/Brown color. (It comes in three other shades: Brunette, Auburn, and Blonde.) The Wunderbrow comes in a box with a gel and a brush applicator as well as a little black spoolie to help spread the gel once you put it on your brow. Looking at those items made me feel like this was going to be anything but an easy application (it takes very little to intimidate me), but ultimately it took less than a minute to get both of my brows ready for the world. All you have to do is swipe the gel over your brows (it helps that I already have a faint outline of my previous tattoo to serve as a stencil) and use the spoolie to even out the gel and make it look more natural. Warning: The gel goes on strong, so when you apply it, use a light touch. The picture on the left shows what my brows look like without Wunderbrow, and the picture on the right shows them with Wunderbrow:
Once I was happy with my application, it was time to test the longevity and durability of the great Wunderbrow. I'd already tested how strong the gel was when I messed up putting it on and frantically scrubbed with a makeup remover to get it off (it was hard, but it did come off). The corrected application lasted through a lot of activity. I went to dinner that night, then went home and washed my face. All the usual stuff came off, except for the Wunderbrow. The next morning I went to the gym, sweated profusely, and took a shower. The Wunderbrow faded a little, but it was still there. This is what my brows looked like two days after my first Wunderbrow application:
True, they are spotty, but they still look better than when I wasn't wearing Wunderbrow. So what is it about the formula that makes it stay on for basically forever? In the product description, the company states that the formula contains "an exclusive blend of hairlike fibers combined with specially treated pigments designed to fasten onto skin and hair." But that's all marketing talk. I reached out to cosmetic chemist Randy Schueller to get the details on what exact ingredient in the gel allows for it to latch on and never let go. "The third ingredient in the list, trimethylsiloxysilicate, is a silicone resin that is highly cross-linked," said Schueller. "That means it can form films which hold pigments in place while providing water resistance."
If you're getting nervous wondering how the hell to take Wunderbrow off, you can try my method and furiously scrub makeup remover on it for about five minutes. Or you could buy a tube of the Wundercleanse Eyebrow Gel Remover, which, OK, is a lot simpler.

For you, being an author, coach or speaker is more than an ego boost.
You BELIEVE in your message.
You WANT to help people.
And ultimately, you want to change the world.
And let's face it – your random Facebook posts, once in a blue moon blog posts and lack of exposure has you feeling…uninspired.
You know your message is needed in the world, but you are unsure of where to go or what to do in order to get seen.
I know. I've been there. When my first book launched, I had no idea what I was doing. It seemed like every day I was throwing a dart at a moving target hoping that eventually something would stick and someone would notice little ol' me.
It wasn't until I started implementing the Master the Media tools did I truly start seeing traction. I eventually landed gigs on Dr. Oz, the Lisa Oz Show, Shape Magazine and Girls Life Magazine. I even got selected to give a TEDx talk and was offered my own TV show, The Zest.
The tools and methods are what helped me get seen and now consistently continue that impact. And I want to help YOU, do the same.
"Lindsey Smith is my go-to-gal for guidance on making big things happen, but doing it on your own. After 1 coaching session, I landed 2 television interviews (1 was live), a radio show, and a blog spot. These outlets combined have over 7 million viewers/readers! Lindsey makes the unknown PR world effortless to those of us that are just getting our feet wet."
Tessa Zimmerman
Author, I AM TESSA
"Twice now I have spent literally thousands on a Publicist only to end up disappointed and with little to nothing to show for it. Then you came along, Lindsey, and immediately showed me exactly what I needed to do to land my first live television gig. It turns out that it doesn't require a lot of time or money to get great PR. It only requires taking action and having someone like you–who actually gives a hoot–show you the ropes. It seems like when you work with Lindsey, everything you touch turns to gold. From TV gigs, to corporate talks, to conferences–I've never felt so empowered or well equipped to go after and get exactly what I want."
Jill Ginsberg
Author, Self-Made Wellionaire
Working with Lindsey Smith has truly been one of the greatest gifts in my professional life. Her experience and knowledge were invaluable to me as she guided me through the writing of my first book. I have also relied on her expertise to help me navigate my way into the world of motivational speaking, brand development, book marketing and public relations. Lindsey has mastered all of these areas and more, and is unbelievably generous in the way she shares what she knows to help you and your business grow.
I highly recommend working with Lindsey to anyone who wishes to take their business or brand to the next level.
Linda Barney
Author of Habits That Heal and Famished!
"I can't say enough about Lindsey and how much she has helped me both personally and in my health coaching career. Lindsey has empowered me to pursue projects I never thought I would be capable of, and has encouraged me every step of the way. The information and resources she has provided me with through her coaching and her books is invaluable to me. I know I wouldn't be where I am right now, or where I'm going, if it weren't for Lindsey. She gave me my first TV appearance as a guest on her talk show, The Zest, which gave me the confidence I needed to continue on and make pitches for other appearances. She has been an incredible mentor to me over the years, and I will be forever grateful!"
Kimberly Petrosino
Happy Healthy Hearts
"Lindsey is a bright spark of inspiration as a leader and instructor who gently and lovingly pulls her audience toward their destination or goal. As a former student of Lindsey's and an ongoing fan, Lindsey has challenged and encouraged me to consistently move beyond my comfort zone to reach the highest heights – she's inspired me to dive a little deeper, and stretch a little farther. The result is changing my life, my career, and capacity to show up as a leader. I am ever grateful to Lindsey for shining her light on my path!"

A Very Special Radio Program...
What you see is what you get. Essential values - Kindness and Accountability, Responsibility, Integrity and Intelligent Discourse, Exploring by Thought, Learning by Listening, and Helping those who seek to know...and grow. Honored and privileged to do what I do which makes the 14-16 hour days a little easier. Trying to encourage people to consider new material and viewpoints to expand vision and build wisdom. Standing firm on honest journalism amidst a sea of talk radio messianic blowhards, mind control freaks, undercover intel agents, duplicitous agenda-pushers, internet egomaniacs, cyber cretins, opportunists, plagiarists, frauds and takers. Following the facts wherever they lead.
Among the most lamentable aspects of this deconstructing nation are rampant personal non-accountability (our 'victim' society), and the mass social pandemic of lying, directly or by omission (stealth lying). Being deceived, in fact, is now a virtual expectation and hardly-noticed component of our times. It insidiously desensitizes as it permeates the wreckage of this People Magazine/tabloid/paparazzi celebrity 'culture' of sports, decadence, drugs, sex, celebrity, and massive self-indulgence at every turn...fueled and abetted by the most ruthless, seductive, powerful weapon ever unleashed on human kind - television. 'Contextual morality' now rules.
Decent principles, values, true character and gentle, kind behavior are all too often mocked and derided...especially among younger people, as programmed by the mass media. Avoid fads, give while expecting nothing in return, strive to excel at what it is you love, and endeavor to leave whatever or whomever you encounter in life a little bit better if at all possible.
The USS Liberty (AGTR-5) has been called the most decorated United States Naval ship for a single action.
But if this is true, why have so few Americans ever heard of the Liberty?
The reasons are many, but have everything to do with who attacked the Liberty and who covered up the attack, an ongoing and disgraceful coverup for nearly 50 years.
Though attempts have been, and continue to be made, to bring the truth about the attack on the Liberty to a wider audience, those responsible for the attack and the coverup have many resources available to keep this national tragedy buried.
And the most shocking part of this story, is that the country who attempted to sink the Liberty with all those aboard, Israel, on that beautiful, sunny day in the Eastern Mediterranean in June, 1967, not only continues to erase the true history of what happened, but our own country, the United States of America, and those public officials sworn to uphold and defend the U.S. Constitution, initiated the coverup and continue, to this very second, to dishonor those 34 men viciously slaughtered and the 174 wounded, who are forced to live knowing their own country abandoned them on the altar of political expediency.
The coverup has been so thorough that this is the only maritime attack in U.S. history not afforded a Congressional investigation, as required by the U.S. Constitution.
Based on the new book by Liberty survivor Phillip F. Tourney, Erasing the Liberty: My Battle to Keep Alive the Memory of Israel's Attack on the USS Liberty, some of the ship's survivors and supporters decided the most effective way to bring the story of the Liberty to the widest possible audience was through a full-length feature film.
Liberty survivors are dying off and need to have their story told. They, the American people, and the world, deserve no less.
Help us make this dream a reality.
Don Black
Don Black has been an activist fighting for European-American survival for forty-five years, beginning when he was fifteen years old in his home state of Alabama, in the midst of the racial turmoil of the late 60s.
After many difficult years working to reach our people with the truth of racial realities, he was first to realize the potential of the Internet to promote our Cause. He set up a small dial-up computer bulletin board called Stormfront in 1990, while working on the David Duke for US Senate Campaign. This would later go online on the Net, where its audience numbers would explode.
Mr. Black has appeared on hundreds of "mainstream" radio and television shows over the decades, including Ted Koppel's Nightline, The Today Show, Phil Donahue, more recently The Young Turks, Geraldo and many others. But we are now our own media! We don't need the controlled, "legacy" media to filter our message. And with the media monopoly's control of news broken, more of our people than ever before now understand the truth.
Further expanding our own media, the Don and Derek Black Show went on the air on WPBR 1340AM in West Palm Beach, Florida four years ago. We broadcast five days a week for three years, despite considerable expense and relentless threats against the station by our enemies. Ultimately, the station was bought by an Israeli.
Mr. Black is now proud to be back for a full two hours, with long-time co-host Truck Roy, guests and call-ins, and this time with an even bigger audience on the Rense Radio Network! Website...Host Archive

David John Oates
David John Oates was born in rural Australia on October 30th 1955, the first born son of a young Methodist minister. He spent his early days traveling with his family from church to church, and fiddling with his hobby, electronics. By his early teens he was building amplifiers for his small rock and roll band, and experimenting with radio equipment.
He went to a private college for his high school years but left early without graduating and moved into his early career as an insurance clerk. In his spare time he was involved in church youth groups and working for drop in centers catering for street kids.
At the age of 20, despite having a severe speech stutter, he secured a job as a representative for life insurance, a career he excelled in, and also obtained his amateur radio license, a hobby that also required the ability to speak clearly. Additionally, he became a part time youth pastor working with street kids.
By his mid 20's, David had left insurance and devoted his full time attention to his youth work. It was while running a halfway house for street kids in 1984 that he first heard about backward messages in rock and roll, and a new hobby was born – playing tapes backwards. He rapidly became obsessed with this new hobby and by 1987, he had developed his theory of Reverse Speech.
Since that time, David has had an active career now spanning 32 years, furthering the field of Reverse Speech as his full time occupation. He has developed new theories, and designed therapeutic and training techniques. He has published several books on Reverse Speech, including "Beyond Backward Masking", "Voices From The Unconscious" and "Its Only A Metaphor", and numerous tapes and training manuals. Overcoming his speech stutter, he has lectured around the world to crowds of thousands, and trained hundreds of students. He has also instigated some of the first mainstream studies and presented Reverse Speech on 1000s of radio shows, including his own show, "The David John Oates Reverse Speech Show" that ran successfully for 3 years syndicated coast to coast in the United States where David lived for 10 years in the 1990s.
In the United States he has appeared on dozens of television programs, including CNNs, Larry King Live, Geraldo, Leeza Gibbons, Strange Universe, Extra to name a few. In Australia, he has appeared on such shows as, Good Morning Australia, Today Tonight, A Current Affair, and Today. His work has also been featured in 100s of papers and well known publications such as The New York Times, Harpers Review, Omni magazine and Discover magazine.
David has been compared to Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell and Nicola Tesla and his work described as being of Nobel calibre with far reaching ramifications in such fields as law enforcement, business and psychology.
He is a certified Hypnotherapist and Trainer, and currently attends to his therapy and corporate consulting business using reverse speech techniques. David is also an accomplished public speaker, maintaining an active international speaking and training schedule as well as a popular guest on many international radio and TV programs.
He currently resides in Adelaide, South Australia.

it's in the Anker projects to make a single Hub with all connections? (SD, HDMI, USB 3, Ethernet ecc...)
For the record, you cannot future proof. You can avoid "buy cheap, buy twice" but the future is not yet written so you cannot future proof.
Your only choices really are to be leading or trailing, If you trail then you to tend to buy 1-2 year old products for about 25%-50% of the cost. If you lead then buy 0-1 year old products and pay double.
Blah blah, you know what I mean
All USB-C cables can accept at least 60W. Certified USB-C 3.1 Gen2 should also be able to accommodate 100W.
Anker's Thunderbolt cable is here to accommodate 40Gb/s data and monitors while maintaining compatibility with USB 3.1 Gen2. It's a great all-in-one cable thanks to its maximum allowable passive cable length of 0.5m. However, the average consumer need for 40Gb/s is just not there yet.
Therefore, I still think the PowerLine II USB-C to USB-C 3.1 Gen2 is still the better cable to get. In addition to USB-C 3.1, it can do 20Gb/s data in Thunderbolt 3 and future USB 3.2 devices at 1m length cables, coupled with lifetime warranty at a better lower price.
I look forward to a future of USB C. Even though it seems far off now, it'll be a much simpler world when all devices connect, charge, and transfer using a universal cable!
Great Info! Wish there was a clear and easy way to tell what the speeds are of each port.
The only way to do this is to stop using legacy ports. @nigelhealy and I agree on this. For the life of me, I can't understand why a new product coming out in 2018 from Anker or anyone still uses microB. It is baffling. The sooner manufacturers embrace the new standard, the sooner consumers will embrace the new standard, as simple as that.
I would agree with you. And I feel that even though a usb c port on your router or speaker might seem pointless, it brings us one step closer to a universal cable. All power cables should be replaced and every kind of charging mechanism.
USB-C is also physically easier as reversible. So say the Anker Soundbuds Life, they are physically deep enough to easily house a USB-C socket and would just make it easier.
This is saying Anker is trailer, not a leader, as its forcing us to keep Type-A physically larger charger ports so bigger cables to handle the MicroB Anker product sockets.
very helpful
wow thanks anker
USB-C to USB-A 3.0 adapter now on Amazon.

The old footage shows the youngest All-Star starter in NBA history walking toward center court inside Madison Square Garden. As he slaps hands with Penny Hardaway, pats Dikembe Mutombo on the rump and exchanges a quickie hug with Grant Hill, the narrative of the 19-year-old unfolds for millions of television viewers.
"And there you see Kobe Bryant in the foreground, the man many have dubbed the next Michael Jordan," NBC commentator Bob Costas says on the broadcast of the 1998 All-Star game, Jordan's last before the second of three retirements. "Of course, that's a bit silly, there will be no next Michael Jordan."
All these years later, a similar statement will hold true Sunday at the Air Canada Centre: There will be no next Kobe Bryant.
One of the league's greatest competitors will play in his final All-Star game, assuming the Lakers star doesn't imitate Jordan off the court and un-retire. By tipoff, Bryant will have appeared in 15 of the midseason showcases. He's been selected 18 times.
"He's the legal voting age in All-Star years," Miami forward-center Chris Bosh said of Bryant, who sat out in 2010, 2014 and 2015 because of injuries. "That's crazy."
Bryant pooh-poohed talk of going for a record fifth most-valuable-player award in the game, saying he would be fine playing only 10 minutes because "the competitiveness in terms of me trying to establish something or prove something, that's gone."
The oddsmakers don't seem so sure about that. The online betting site Bovada has given the 37-year-old Bryant 7-to-5 odds to win MVP, ahead of in-their-prime superstars Stephen Curry (5-1), LeBron James (8-1), Russell Westbrook (8-1) and Kevin Durant (10-1).
Bryant's legendary feistiness also suggests he'll try to one-up his teammates once more. After his last All-Star game appearance, in 2013, Bryant admitted to having teased teammate Tim Duncan that Bryant's warmup jacket included more chest patches for NBA titles than Duncan's.
"I was just very, very happy that when I looked across the locker room, Tim only had four trophies and I had five," Bryant said at the time. "That made me feel really good. I rubbed it in a little bit."
Bryant's current All-Star teammates seemed split on whether they would try to help the player who has long been frosty toward others collect one final warmhearted moment.
Asked if he would pass the ball to Bryant if Bryant was double-teamed with 10 seconds left in the game, New Orleans' Anthony Davis said, "Yeah, and have him shoot it."
Then there was Durant's response to a query about deferring to Bryant.
"He might defer to us," Durant said. "He knows that this being his last one, he really respects all of these young players."
Maybe that notion isn't so farfetched. As he sat in a hotel ballroom packed with teammates Friday, Bryant spoke of his amazement in "seeing guys that I'm playing with that are tearing the league up that were like 4 my first All-Star game."
The leading vote-getter among fans exuded a happy-to-be-here vibe largely because of the aches and injuries that limited him to a combined 41 games during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons while causing him to miss a handful of games in recent months during his 20th and final season.
"I can't believe I'm still playing," Bryant said. "Seriously. I've had three major injuries and I always believed I could come back, but you never know. I'm happy I've been able to kind of get through that."
Bryant sounded like a dusty record player with the needle stuck in a single groove while describing the hardest part of his season.
"The body, the body, the body," Bryant said. "I do so much work to get ready and there's certain games it's there and it's not. The hard part is being able to accept that and deal with it on a nightly basis."
Bryant is shooting a career-worst 34.9% while continually hoisting shots to become the most inefficient player in the NBA. But things have a way of working out for the game's legends in their final All-Star game appearances.
Magic Johnson won the MVP award in 1992, only months removed from the announcement that he was HIV-positive. Jordan was the winner in '98, his presumed farewell before making two more All-Star game appearances with the Washington Wizards.
One story line to track Sunday that could get as much traction as Bryant's performance is the reception he gets from both his teammates and competitors. The online site SportsBettingDime put the over-under of how many hugs Bryant would receive from the 23 other players at 22.5; it put the over-under on kisses at 0.5.
There was no shortage of love for Bryant at the media events, with James saying a pair of sneakers Bryant had left for him were going into his trophy case and others universally fawning over a player who has won five NBA titles.
"We definitely want to send him off on a good note," Durant said. "We know he's going to be super competitive. This is the last time he's going to be with all these elite players and on the court again. So it should be fun."
Chicago center Pau Gasol, Bryant's teammate with the Lakers through 6 1/2 seasons and two championships, said he was thrilled to be selected as an injury replacement for the Eastern Conference team so that he could share the court with his longtime friend once more.
"It will be emotional for me to see him," Gasol said. "I hope Kobe enjoys it. It's always fun to see him and share this moment with him, this last dance with him."
Bryant seemed amused that he lasted long enough to participate in the first All-Star game played outside the United States, on the home court of the team he once scored 81 points against in 2006 at Staples Center.
"If you think about it, it's weird that sports tends to have things happen like that," Bryant said. "It's like the sports gods sit back and watch and make things happen. It's like they're laughing at us."
Or, if things turn out as widely expected Sunday, holding them in a long, warm embrace.

David Hatch, 64, a magistrate, criticised Martin in an interview in Tuesday's Times
But one of Martin's supporters said he was "amazed" at
Mr Hatch's comments.
Mr Hatch told the paper: "Some newspapers decided very early on that Mr
Martin was a victim of the criminal justice system and then ultimately of the
Parole Board.
"I don't believe that to be true. Mr Martin was a very dangerous man. He shot a 16-year-old boy and killed
him; shot him in the back at a range of about 4ft."
Martin shot dead 16-year-old Fred Barras, of Newark, Notts, after confronting
the teenager in his isolated home in Emneth Hungate, Norfolk, late at night in
August 1999.
He also shot and wounded Barras's accomplice Brendon Fearon, also
of Newark.
"He had a gun under his bed which he should not have had," said Mr Hatch.
"His gun had been taken away from him because the police knew he had been
using it inappropriately several times.
'Factually wrong'
"Our job, irrespective of what the press think, is to protect the public.
"We said he was a dangerous man and he should stay in. I am very glad that a
High Court judge, on all five counts, saw it our way."
But Peter Sainsbury, who has been assisting Martin's legal battle, said Mr Hatch was completely wrong.
"I am amazed he has made these comments. I have never heard of such a
situation before. It would seem he is simply factually wrong," said Mr
"All hell will break loose now. A lot of questions are going to be asked
about the Parole Board.
"No-one can seriously suggest that Tony Martin is a danger to the
public. It was argued quite clearly in the judicial review proceedings that he
could be dangerous to burglars who broke into his house - not to anyone else.
"And a lot of people could be classed as a danger to burglars who break into
their homes.
"If you are in a lonely farmhouse miles from anywhere, as he was,
and two burglars break in what are you supposed to do?
Out in July
"The vast majority of the British public supports him. We have been receiving
over 100 letters a day supporting him."
Martin, 58, is currently serving a five-year sentence for manslaughter. He was
originally jailed for life after being convicted of murder but that conviction
was reduced to manslaughter on appeal.
He is due to leave prison in July, after the Parole Board
refused to release him on licence earlier this year.
Its decision was upheld by
a High Court judge this month, when Martin attempted to seek a judicial review of the
board's decision.

Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg of the National Review is a notorious numbskull, but he has a blind squirrel tendency to occasionally make a clarifying comment by mistake. Case in point from the article America's Selective Libertarianism.
I wish it were otherwise, but people tend to be libertarian only after it's demonstrated to them that the government can't deliver the results they want.
He wishes people hated government even when it benefits citizens.
Why? Because freedom, of course.

Batton Lash is posting the back-up story to Supernatural Law #39, which features a parody of Chris Ware's Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth, on his website in full color. The story is about a werewolf appearing as an attraction in Quimby's Carnavale & Sideshow.
The complete press release is available after the jump. You can start reading the story here. Watch for new pages every Monday and Thursday.
Press release
"The Scariest Kid on Earth" the new Supernatural Law tale now in progress at www.supernaturallaw.com, bears a striking resemblance to Jimmy Corrigan, Chris Ware's Smartest Kid on Earth. Although this parody originally appeared as a backup in the Supernatural Law #39 print comic, the online version is in full color for the first time. In the story, the scariest kid is a not-so-young werewolf appearing as an attraction in Quimby's Carnavale & Sideshow. New episodes of the story go up every Monday and Thursday, and it will conclude January 18.
Cartoonist Batton Lash has been chronicling the cases of attorneys Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd, Counselors of the Macabre, since 1979, first as a weekly newspaper strip, then as comic books and graphic novels, and for the last four years online as well as in print.
The just completed webcomic storyline, "Rights of the Werewolf," is the longest story Batton has ever done featuring his characters, taking over a year to unfold. In that saga, an accidental werewolf gets caught up in politics and the media, as "shapeshifter rights" activists take the law into their own hands.
"I love telling werewolf stories," says Batton, "but readers tell me I don't do enough of them. So here are two werewolf stories back to back, including one about a 'ware-wolf.'"
The online version of Supernatural Law is part of webcomicsnation.com, where it has consistently been in the top 20 strips viewed there over the past four years. It also won the Eagle Award for favorite webcomic in 2005.

Campers flock to bluff sites for summer despite noise, traffic
We've spent more than two months featuring distinctive sites along our county's coastline.
Now, it's your turn to be in the spotlight. Tell us about your favorite beach -- the spot where you fell in love, the place you can't stop visiting, the most majestic slice of sand and saltwater you've ever seen.
Share your story, in 200 words or less, with reporter Mike Lee. Write to him at email@example.com and include a phone number where he can reach you.
The bluff-top campground at San Onofre State Beach seems an ideal place to kick off the summer camping season.
It's largely booked on weekends through August by local and out-of-town visitors, including die-hard fans Tony and Dana Lindley of Buena Park.
They can take nature walks, wiggle their toes in the sand and even ride the waves at the world-famous Trestles surf break.
What's not to love?
How about the roughly 140,000 cars that whiz by each day on Interstate 5, which is a stone's throw from the campground, and the even closer trains that rattle past every half-hour or so? How about the nearby nuclear power station with its eerie domes and warning sirens? How about the intermittent booms from Camp Pendleton's training exercises?
"When we first came here, it was loud and noisy," Dana Lindley said, "and then we came back and you just don't hear it as much any more."
Her husband chimed in: "We think of (traffic sounds) as a waterfall."
The Lindleys were among the first campers of the year when the bluff sites opened last weekend, and they've reserved their spot for most of the remaining summer weekends. The couple enjoy hiking trails to the beach with their dog, Ginger, and cruising the level campground on their bicycles.
Few camping destinations can match San Onofre's urban nature vibe.
The state's parks managers don't try to hide the camping arrangements from people interested in the 175 spots, which together span about 3.5 miles along the top of sandstone cliffs. White parking stripes on the pavement are all that separate most of the spaces from each other.
"Campground can be VERY noisy and crowded," said a notice on the state's official camping reservation Web site.
That doesn't deter people determined to celebrate summer on the coast – particularly if they can't access a better place. Alternate camping options in the region include the South Carlsbad, San Elijo and Silver Strand state beaches.
"What we see typically at the bluffs are people who couldn't get in" at other coastal parks, said Rich Haydon, the California State Parks official in charge of the San Onofre site.
Darin Jackman of Menifee wanted to spend last weekend in a tent at San Elijo or South Carlsbad with his two sons, but they couldn't make reservations at those places on a few days' notice. Then Jackman found a spot at the San Onofre bluffs.
When he saw the proximity of the freeway and heard the train rumble past, he didn't seem troubled at all.
"I got really lucky" to secure any site on the coast, he said.
Jackman's family spent the weekend exploring rugged trails that drop from the campground to a beach that, unlike most in the county, is covered in cobble stones. It offers modest waves that hot-shot surfers usually shun in favor of Trestles on the northern edge of the park.
About halfway down the bluff paths, the sights and sounds of the 21st Century give way to bird calls, wildflowers and the ocean's roar.
"You are almost instantly transported . . . to the way the beaches looked maybe 200 years ago," Haydon said. You are not packed in like sardines. It is a very different experience."
Since 2000, the number of visitors at San Onofre State Beach has risen to 2.75 million from 1.6 million annually, enough to make it one of the most popular parks in California.
Of those visitors, about 172,000 people stayed at San Onofre's bluff-top campground or an inland counterpart last year.
Interest in San Onofre State Park is expected to swell this summer, following the statewide trend that parks officials link to the bad economy prompting people to find low-cost vacations.
Those who savor the scenic panorama from San Onofre's bluffs learn to make the best of the urbanized parts of their surroundings.
Scott Paradise and his girlfriend, Trisha Cunningham, both of Pacific Beach, pulled up in their Mercedes on the campground's opening day.
"We were a little disappointed," Paradise said as he chopped vegetables for shish kabobs. "I thought when they said bluff camping that we would be closer to the beach than the trucks on the highway."
As he talked, a train blew past.
"I think it was more serene in Pacific Beach," Paradise said.
Cunningham stayed positive.
"It's a gorgeous view," she said over the music blasting from an RV a few feet away.

With plenty of headlines coming from Week 9 in the NFL we take a look at just who made themselves a Week 9 hero.
Ben Roethlisberger
Two consecutive six touchdown games. That is an NFL record. Over the last two games Roethisberger has more touchdowns than (taken individually) Alex Smith, Russell Wilson, Matthew Stafford, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Carson Palmer have by themselves. Nobody not even Big Ben himself would have seen this coming.
I would say it is impossible that Roethisberger does this again but everyone thought the performance against the Colts was a one off. One thing is for sure though the Steeler's are now in prime position in the AFC North the rest of their schedule is set for them to run the table. Away trips to the Jets and Titans should be easy wins. Whilst road trips to New Orleans, Bengals and Falcons are hardly worrying either.
It would take unprecedented levels of self-destruction for Big Ben to not lead the Steelers to the playoffs.
Rams defense
The Rams defense and it's line was one of the most highly thought of units in the league at the start of the season. The front seven was already packed with talent before they added first round pick Aaron Donald in the draft.
Despite this talent though the Rams had struggled to scrap together a single sack this season. That is until Sunday when they sacked Colin Kaepernick eight times in a display of defensive dominance that led the Rams to a win at Levi Stadium.

If the Rams can keep this up then they have thrown another crick into an already crazy NFC West.
New Orleans Saints
Given the chronic weakness of the NFC South the Saints bad start has now been effectively wiped out. The Saints' early struggles no longer matter. Losses to the Falcons, Browns and Lions and the fourth quarter capitulation in Detroit have effectively been erased. In terms of making the playoffs the Saints destiny is now in their own hands.
They will win the NFC South and make the postseason. They won't have home advantage though and that will likely be what costs them in the end.
Andy Reid
A good coach makes teams more than its component parts. Andy has done this with the Chiefs by disguising their weaknesses with strengths in other areas. Before the season started the offensive line and the wide receiver positions were highlighted as glaring weaknesses. As it turns out they were weaknesses but Reid has found a way to coach around them.
The offensive line isn't great, especially in pass protection, but Alex Smith is one of the best QBs in the league in extending plays and playing 'backyard' football. Time after time the pocket breaks down and Smith manages to scramble for a gain of some kind.
In part because of the offensive line problems, and in part because of the lack of receivers, Alex Smith still hasn't thrown a passing TD to a wide receiver and he barely makes a throw of greater distance than 10 yards. Again though Reid has found a way to make things work. His team sits 5-3 and in the AFC West with a shot at a wildcard spot.
Tom Brady
I have concerns about the Patriots being once again too dependent on Gronkowski but whilst he is fit you can't doubt the effectiveness of his partnership with Brady. In what was supposed to be a tight game between two great QB's Brady completely outplayed Peyton Manning throwing for for 333 yards and four TD's to lead his team to an easy victory.
Miami Dolphins Defense
A shutout in the modern NFL is rare thing. To do it against a strong San Diego Chargers offense led by the Rivers is even more impressive. The Dolphins intercepted Rivers three times and sacked him three times. A good day's work.
Ryan Tannehill
Five games, five high quality performances from Tannehill. On current form Tannehill is a top five QB. Against the Chargers he threw for 288 yards and added another 47 with his feet. It probably isn't going to be enough to challenge the Patriots for the AFC East title but a wildcard spot isn't totally out of the question.
Marshawn Lynch
67 yards from 21 attempts isn't a great stat-line but Lynch, and his two touchdowns, was the difference between the Seahawks winning or them suffering an embarrassing home defeat to the Oakland Raiders.
His first touchdown in particularly was something special. It may have only been a three yard rush but Lynch showed why you should always keep pumping your legs. The defender thought he had brought Lynch to a stop but Lynch kept his feet moving and fought his way for the touchdown. It was near perfect running back play.

Well it's supposed to be about dreams, magic, life and not about baseball...wrong it's about baseball and an American understanding that baseball is a way to unlock dreams, magic, and life.
But I am not an American follower of Baseball so along with Underworld by Don DeLillo it went over my head (although DeLillo's books first chapter was a stunning, lyrical depiction of the centuries' baseball World Series final moments). So is Shoeless Joe...stunning, lyrical writing? No, assume wooden, workaday.
Think I am being harsh? Well I look forward to a story based of a brickie who puts a goal up in
But for the moment I am sticking to the film of the book-Field of Dreams. And making a mental note to be wary of any book that has a sports theme!

A South Jersey high school sophomore Taylor Kane entered this school year with the goal of simply granting wishes.
Kane founded the Lenape High School Hero Club, an organization dedicated to helping people — and he started by helping a student at his own school, a senior who has bone cancer.
But it has spread a lot farther.
"I just feel like it's so important because it shows students that anyone can be a hero."
The club from Lenape High School posts updates on wishes and fundraisers on their Facebook page and Twitter account.

Description: Stadion Essen
Construction started in August 2009, with dismantling of the northern terrace of Georg-Melches-Stadion. This was enough to start on three new stands up north as the new ground was to be moved onto training pitches and rotated. First stage, finished in August 2012, brought three stands with cover, and over 11,000 seats (and just over 2,000 standing places).
After opening demolition of remaining old stands of its predecessor started and along with it – construction of fourth new stand. Capacity in 2013 reached 20,650 and may be increased in two phases to even 35,000. First by adding corner sections (5,000) and second by adding a second tier throughout the ground.
Initially cost was estimated at €30 million, but in the end exceeded €40m.

breastfeeding, frustration, joy, Motherhood, Parenting, sleep, teething, tiredness, Toddler, toddlers
Night times are both my most precious and most hated times as a parent so far. They are times of overflowing emotions, both good and bad, times when I wonder what I might have done to bring me such joy or such frustration and resentment. Everything is multiplied when the sun has gone to bed.
Chublet has not been the easiest of girls to get into good sleep habits. We have had two stays at our local sleep school and we can still count on one hand the number of nights she has not needed our attention once we have gone to bed. At present we are in a fairly good space where she goes to sleep easily when first put to bed and generally only wakes once or twice during the night with a quick feed or resettle needed before going back to sleep.
It is these nights, especially after a run of such nights, where I sneak into her bedroom prior to going to bed and look in wonder at her peaceful countenance. These are the nights where I am filled with love and joy as I see her sleeping in an identical pose to that which B or I often take – lying on our sides with one hand tucked under our head. These are the nights when I ask what I did that gave me such a blessing as this little bundle of energy and delight. These are the nights I try to remember when everything falls to pieces.
And when things fall to pieces they do so spectacularly. These are the nights where she wakes often and for long stretches. Nights where I spend more time sitting or lying on the floor beside her cot than I do in my own bed. Nights where I fall asleep in the rocking chair while she sits awake, in my arms, running through her latest vocab. Nights where I try to decide if a dose of pain killers will help (and debate how often I've fed her medicine in her life) or if she just doesn't want to sleep. These are the nights where I resent everything. I resent the overnight feed as she holds me hostage – refusing to give in to sleep until I feed her, regardless of how early she wakes in the evening. I resent my husband for not being able to do more, I resent Chublet for screaming the house down if B tries to settle her rather than me. I resent that I once again have to try and function on less than 5 hours of broken sleep, and I resent having a child who at 16 months old, still has regular nights like this.
The bad nights are the nights when I most doubt myself; have I caused her to have bad sleep habits by continuing to feed her overnight, by cuddling her when she's beside herself, by sleeping beside her cot when she just seems to need it, by bringing her into bed with us when we all need to sleep. I question how often we resort to painkillers in the hope that it is teething pain causing the unsettledness and that medicine will help. I get angry at B for choosing methods other than those taught at sleep school, but then am incredibly thankful that they work and that he's stepped up and made a decision. The bad nights are the ones where every choice I make seems wrong, and I am often wracked with indecision.
I would love to say that the good nights outweigh the bad. But the truth is I remember the bad far more readily than the good, and a single bad night seems to delete an entire week of good nights. I am trying to remind myself of the good nights, trying to remember the nights where I am overflowing with love for my sleeping child, trying to remind myself that the bad nights will not last and will soon be no more than a (painful) memory. On the good nights I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, on the bad nights I wait for the oncoming train.

A different day at school!
A different day at school!
On February 5 our lovely children of the first division and first grade started full activities that help us to strengthen our bilingual environment, projects full of color, fun and Joy.
For example; students from Pre Kinder and Kinder had a wonderful time with a funny puppet show. Transition A and B improved their mathematic skills, playing and counting. Also first grade students enjoy their activity called: "hello everybody" where they practiced the greetings that they have learned this week and gave some encouragement messages to their teachers.
Thanks to their teachers Miss Eli, Ale, Maria José, Leidy, Vero and Angie Salcedo for organizing a different day at school!.

Communication is the ability to express an idea to a wide variety of audiences.
Communication can be written (essays, advertising material, reports, notes, e-mails, or texts), oral (speeches, conversations, phone calls, meetings, or presentations), or visual (art, graphic design, power points, flyers, or even fashion).
Employers want people who can communicate effectively. You do not have to be a great essayist or orator to understand the value of communicating in a clear, organized, and thoughtful manner. Communication means being able to take something complex and explain it to multiple audiences with varying degrees of technical expertise, interest, and buy-in. Whether an engineer or a concert pianist, it is important to be able to tell people what you are doing and why it is important.
Communities need people who have a voice and aren't afraid to use it. Having coffee with a neighbor or attending a rally and giving a speech require similar skills. Writing a letter to a friend or a letter to your state representative requires similar skills. You must be able to move from the internalized (thoughts, opinions, and ideas) to the externalized (written, oral, and visual communication) to enter into the larger conversations that are going on in the world around you.
Faculty members who have worked many years in the field of communications have developed evaluative rubrics that we use to assess communication skill. The factors considered include context and purpose, structure and organization, content development, sources and evidence, and control of syntax and mechanics.
While this rubric is an effective measure of communication, it is certainly not the only measure. We also evaluate communication by looking at responses from university-wide surveys, for example, the UTA Exit Survey and the National Survey of Student Engagement.
Below are some of our recent reports that explain how we are doing as an institution.
