Vivian Gussin Paley, a pioneering teacher and widely acclaimed author who emphasized the importance of storytelling in early childhood development, died on July 19 in Crozet, Va. She was 90.
Her son, David Paley, said she had been in failing health for some months and died in an assisted living facility.
Ms. Paley was a keen observer — and listener — of young children. She wrote 13 books about their social and intellectual development, including how they learn from telling stories, and received a MacArthur "genius" grant in recognition of her work.
Her best known works include "You Can't Say You Can't Play" (1993), the title referring to a rule she laid down in her classroom to teach children about rejection. The book is "arresting in its title, magical in its appeal, and inspiring in its message," the Harvard law professor and author Derrick Bell wrote in The New York Times Book Review. He said it illustrated "how the teacher's art can attack the evil of exclusion at its childhood root."
In "White Teacher" (1979), she described her reluctance to talk about race as a white teacher in an integrated school. Sixteen years later she wrote "Kwanzaa and Me," in which she confronted racism head on.
Her book "The Girl With the Brown Crayon" (1997), which followed a girl's discoveries during a year of reading works by the children's author Leo Lionni, won Harvard University Press's annual prize for outstanding publication about education and society.
Ms. Paley's teaching approach involved asking children to describe an event, sometimes with only a few words, and then to dramatize it with their classmates. This taught them language skills but also compassion, fairness and how to negotiate relationships.
"She was as much an artist as a teacher, creative and playful to the end of her life," John Hornstein, a child development specialist at Tufts University, said in an interview. "She is known in the field for her use of storytelling, but the method she developed is far more than that. It is a way in which young children join a complex and diverse social world."
Ms. Paley developed her methods over 37 years of teaching, most of them spent at the innovative, academically rigorous University of Chicago Laboratory Schools. While there, she won her MacArthur award in 1989 at age 60. She is believed to be the only person to win the grant while working as a kindergarten teacher.
In addition to teaching children, she mentored a generation of teachers, held workshops and lectured about her experiences in the classroom. Her methods of storytelling and acting have been adopted elsewhere, notably in Boston, where the public school system has incorporated them into its curriculum.
But they met with some resistance from the education establishment, especially as the No Child Left Behind Act, which required standardized testing, became law in 2002.
"She wasn't mainstream, and she wasn't a curriculum person," Mr. Hornstein said. "To her, teaching was not about meeting a bunch of core requirements that you can quantify; it was about being a human being."
In her book "The Boy Who Would Be a Helicopter: The Uses of Storytelling in the Classroom" (1990), Ms. Paley wrote about a loner who becomes less isolated by acting in other children's activities and stories, both true and fantasized, and inviting others into his imaginary helicopter to be his co-pilot.
By using storytelling to make children feel included, Ms. Paley built trust in her classroom and extended that to problem solving, said Sarah Sivright, who taught with her at the Chicago Laboratory Schools.
For example, she said, a student named Billy liked to play with blocks but never put them away. Ms. Paley and Ms. Sivright suggested that he not be allowed to play with them anymore. But his classmates said that that wasn't fair because it was his favorite activity. They suggested instead that he simply be reminded to clean up after each session.
"Billy actually did get better at cleaning up," Ms. Sivright said. "He felt supported by his community."
Vivian Roslyn Gussin was born on Jan. 25, 1929, in Chicago to Harry and Yetta (Meisel) Gussin. He was a medical doctor and she a homemaker.
Vivian received her bachelor of philosophy degree from the University of Chicago in 1947 and another bachelor's degree, in psychology, from Newcomb College, the women's college at Tulane University in New Orleans, in 1950.
She married Irving Paley in 1948. He survives her, as do their son, David, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Another son, Robert, died in 2017.
Ms. Paley began her teaching career in New Orleans. There, she recalled, she felt burdened by an overemphasis on strict learning boundaries and memorization, and came to believe that such an approach stifled learning — and teaching. She described herself during this period as an "uninspired and uninspiring teacher."
She moved to New York and earned her master's of science degree in education from Hofstra University on Long Island in 1965 and taught at the Great Neck public schools, also on Long Island, until 1971.
She then moved back to Chicago, where she spent the rest of her teaching career at the Lab Schools. There she felt free to experiment. When the school day was extended from a half day to a full day, she decided to fill it with storytelling and acting.
"She helped children use the tools they have, which are imagination, sympathy and make-believe, to understand themselves and each other," said Dr. Joshua D. Sparrow, executive director of the Brazelton Touchpoints Center in Boston, which studies child development.
Gillian D. McNamee, a protégé of Ms. Paley's at Lab and now director of teacher education at the Erikson Institute in Chicago, said that after Ms. Paley would ask children what story they wanted to tell, she would connect it to other stories or to a book or something that happened in class.
"Vivian gave us a blueprint for teaching children how to think," Ms. McNamee said.
Ms. Paley retired from Lab in 1995 but continued to lecture and hold workshops around the world until a few years ago.
Storytelling, she wrote in a 2001 essay, "is still the only activity I know of, besides play itself, that is immediately understood and desired by every child over the age of two."

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Alan Cockrell has been promoted to hitting coach of the New York Yankees to replace Jeff Pentland, who was let go after one season.
Cockrell was assistant hitting coach last season, when Pentland replaced Kevin Long. New York said Monday that Marcus Thames will take over from Cockrell as assistant hitting coach.
Cockrell was the ninth overall pick in the 1984 amateur draft and did not make it to the major leagues until 1996, when he played nine games for Colorado and went 2 for 8 at the plate in his only big league appearances.
Thames hit .246 in 10 big league seasons, spending time the Yankees in 2002 and 2010. He has been a hitting coach in New York's minor league season for three years, assigned to Class A Tampa in 2013, Double-A Trenton in 2014 and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year.

Naples, March 19: David Ospina has been discharged from hospital and given the all clear after collapsing during Napoli's Serie A match on Sunday (March 17).
The Colombia goalkeeper underwent a scan after cutting his head in a collision with Udinese winger Ignacio Pussetto at Stadio San Paolo.
Ospina, who is on loan at the Serie A side from Arsenal, received treatment on the pitch and initially played on before collapsing just prior to half-time.
The 30-year-old spent the night under observation and Napoli confirmed further tests came back clear.
Ospina has withdrawn from his country's upcoming friendlies against Japan and South Korea as a precaution.
"David Ospina was this afternoon discharged from the clinic where he had been admitted last night for a series of investigations and specialist visits," read a Napoli statement.
"All tests are negative. The visits [ruled out] any problems.
"The player has been advised to have a few days off and will not respond to the call-up of his national team."

Catalytic process for the preparation of carboxylic acids from haloalkanes or alkenes.
A convergent process for the preparation of terminal carboxylic acids by carboxylation of mixtures of bromoalkenes or mixtures of olefins has been developed. The process is catalytic in nickel and allows preparing a unique product from a mixture of starting materials (regioconvergent process), which allows saving several synthetic and separation steps in processing and renders possible the use of the process with exhaust streams from crackers. The process is useful for the production of fatty acids.

Hi @Naveen,
There should be another error in the logs which might give us more information about your error, starting with "An error occurred when trying to validate the license code:"
What is your Coveo for Sitecore version? Sitecore version ?
@Naveen: You would have to request DMZ exception to allow platform.cloud.coveo communication. We had to do the same.
On another note, although not exactly the same architecture but I had the exact same exception when I was trying to set up CM and CD on my "local" environment despite coping the /Data/Coveo folder from CM to CD. Here is what resolved the issue on my local:
- Ensured that /Data folder has proper read permissions.
- Cleared the browser cache.
- Restarted the IIS.
Also remember that the cached license file which is located at /Data/coveolicense.xml is used as a backup incase there is a network connection issue to validate the license key from the Coveo Cloud. So you may be able to go this route, however you would have to seek Coveo support to confirm.

They should be allowed to take home their iPads!
November 7, 2018
We went around asking people what they think about 7th and 8th graders being allowed to take home their iPads, and what their punishment should be if they forget them at home. We asked many people what they thought. Students, teachers, and the principals were interviewed and they answered with many different amazing answers. If you want to see what some of them had to say then read on.
We asked multiple people what they thought if 7th and 8th grade were aloud to bring home there iPads. One person who we got an amazing answer from was Dr. Brown. She answered with, "I think all middle school children should be allowed to take home their ipads. I think it's a missed opportunity for kids to get their homework done, but if they sign a waiver that says they can take care of it then that proves they are willing to try. Plus most kids already have technology at home and they can take care of that. It won't be very helpful for the kids who don't have WiFi at home.
There are also some people who did not like the idea, Mr. Whitford and a kid named Scout thought it was a bad idea because, they thought it was not a good idea for middle schoolers to have that responsibility. Mr. Whitford said, "maybe it would be good for the 8th graders to have them to be prepared for high school."
I think it is a good idea for both 7th and 8th grade to be able to bring their Ipads home. I think this because, it might make them very responsible. Also it will help get them prepared for high school ahead of time. Even if they forget it at home they can sign a paper showing they are willing to pay the price.
Hopefully sometime in the future they will ask others what they think, they might even let 7th and 8th graders take them home. I hope you liked What people had to say. Thanks for reading

Baby's First Word Might Not Be the Word You Waited For
While I was pregnant, one of the moments I envisioned as I was throwing up in the toilet or dripping sweat in the 115 degree Texas heat at 9 months was the day I would hear my little offspring call me 'mama,' or call my husband 'dada.'
The idea that someone in this world will consider me their mom is so beautiful, and I have been waiting to be called by my new name ever since a plastic stick told me I was knocked up. Just waiting.
And waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
It's a trade-off, I guess. She was such a fantastic newborn – very observant, rarely fussy – and she (for the most part, because she certainly has her crabby/cranky days) continues to be that way now, at 9 months old. But that also means that she doesn't talk much… or at all. My husband and I? We are total pros at saying 'mama' and 'dada'. We probably say these words to her a hundred times a day while she stares at us with a knowing smile and giggles.
I swear, one day she's just going to look at me and say, "Listen, mom, can I get some food over here? You're a little late with the lunch today."
We even discussed the possibility of hearing loss with her pediatrician, because she wasn't making any sounds at all, other than shrieking several times a day – not the most pleasant sound in the world. I teared up in the office while looking at her, thinking… "What if… ?"
The very next day, she said 'dada'. Clear as a bell.
She was in her playpen, roaming around, playing with her musical flowers. Her dad and I were eating dinner. And it came out of nowhere. We forgot the food, squished her between us in a gigantic group hug and bounced up and down. SHE SPOKE!
Now, she stares adoringly at her dad and says his name over and over again: 'Dadadadadadada.' Me? Oh, I'm still left in the dust, waiting, still waiting, trying to recall the time that my husband was in labor for 14 hours and pushed a 7 pound baby out of his body, which has to be the reason he gets his magical moment first. Odd, you'd think I'd remember something like that.
It'll happen, though. She'll say mom, and smile at me, too. It doesn't matter, I get to be her mom for the rest of my life, anways. I can wait.
Did your baby start talking? What were his or her first words?
Rachel is a stay-at-home mom to her 6-month-old daughter and lives in Texas with her husband, who is in the Air Force. Moving 3 times and surviving 3 deployments is nothing compared to raising an active and very vocal child. She enjoys "beginning" a work-out regimen every Monday and then quitting it by Wednesday, teaching her daughter to stick out her tongue, and trying to drown out the constant airplane sounds around her house by blaring music and dancing. She also maintains a blog detailing her up-and-down attempts at parenting.

It doesn't happen. You can't just call things out of thin air without work. Even faith without works is dead. It all takes work. Conjuring does not happen. The Universe is full of unexplained events that happen. It's true. But that doesn't mean they are conjured out of nothing.
A painting, a building, a watch, a perfectly placed pass in a football game, these things are not conjured! They take work and effort. We need to make this known now more than ever that things are not simply conjured. They take work!!

A Mumbai metropolitan court
Tuesday extended till Aug 13 the police custody of Abu Jundal, a key
suspect in the 2008 Mumbai terror attack.
Seeking Jundal's custody, Special Public Prosecutor Ujjawal Nikam said that the Mumbai police Crime Branch wanted to match his DNA samples with those collected from a boat that launched the perpetrators on Mumbai shores.
Thirty-year-old Sayed Zabiuddin Ansari alias Abu Jundal is accused of participating in the Nov 26-29, 2008 attack's conspiracy allegedly hatched in Pakistan. He is believed to have issued directions to the terrorists holed up at Nariman House during the attacks.
Nikam also told the court that Jundal had created e-mail IDs in fictitious names and police wanted to retrieve those with his help as he alone knew the passwords.
Describing Jundal as one of the key members in the Lashkar-e-Taiba who taught Hindi to the 26/11 terrorists, Nikam said he gave them instructions from a control room in Karachi during the attacks.
The 26/11 handler was also required in other cases in Maharashtra including the 2006 Aurangabad arms haul case, the 2010 German Bakery blast in Pune and an alleged plot to attack Nashik Police Academy.
On July 21, Jundal was taken to Mumbai after a Delhi court handed over his custody to police here for his alleged role in the Mumbai terror attack.

There is one thing the GOP does right! Obstructionism and Dancing around with facts. ... The GOP attacks evenly, every recruit spinning the same lies, regardless of whether it on TV or print. The pitch is to the same drummer, with the same beat and after numerous talking head interviews on the TV, it's the same coordinated rhetoric. Just like these super marching dancers.
Several, some retired or should be like Gowdy, Jordan, Chaffetz, Meadows, Nunes and ISA, would make nice dancers in KIMS army. Vile and attacking, all on the same script, no solutions, no answers just attack, sometimes personally. Thats how scumbags fight.
Now NUNES the ranking member of the DEM-GOP impeachment team has gotten caught with his pants down. He may have been one of the conspirators working with Giuliani. With all the lies and smoke he was pushing, he may be next. Long time coming for this ass clown.
The " Stechschritt" or high kick is intended to intimidate the enemy by demonstrating both discipline and devotion". In the West however, it was determined the step is used to get or kick the person in front of them to go into the minefield first. Note the leg of the soldier just to the right of the officers hat, concentration, she's really close to the butt of the one in front of her, now thats precision "sh*t -kicking perfection!
These are the famed North Korean Goose-steppers, Rocket-man's personal show group just back from a world Communist tour of incredible precision and graceful coordination. They easily out-shined groups from Africa, China, South America, Mesopotamia, Iran, and the combined Syrian/Lebanon Hezbolah team.
The GOP really does remind me of those fabulous dancing soldiers you see in all Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Iranian soldier formations. The Iranians are a little more vibrant and use a faster pace. The goose step with bounce is a modification of Hitlers Storm troopers and have made it worthy of appearing on " Dancing with the Red Stars".
But they were up against the high kicking famous Russian steppers, " The SpetzMasters". And as the picture shows their precision is incredible. But a few flaws were noticed: This gave them a 96.
The angle of the hats collectively not even ( -2 points)and the inside guy ( front left) leg is not high enough ( -2 points) these are critical points in Red Star Competition. And they do this while holding a SKS rifle weighing 3.6 Kilos (8 lbs.) with Bayonet with one hand by the butt. No other teams competing could match this.
They were recently temporarily transferred to a new station in the Russian City of Dogonaoish ( pop.1391) near Novosibirsk ( pop. 1,473,754) according to the 2010 Census. Novosibirsk is the largest city in Siberia and they will practice there and stay try to stay warm. The inside guy was transferred out of the team and turned in his rifle for a shovel and pick where he is studying Geology under the Tundra elsewhere in Siberia.
Facing serious challenges from The North Koreans who have developed a pacy, highly stylized form of the infamous military march, which is said to have originated in 18th-century Prussia. It's a little bump they added, quite nice, worthy of a ten in Red Star productions, International dance competition. But they only got a nine last year and mysteriously the two of the judges who were from China and Iran respectively died from a strange disease related to polonium poisoning. The Russians took first place.
A strange anomaly in North Korea is the toilet bowl hat. The style of the hats they wear denotes rank.
Higher the rank, the bigger the hat to accompany the huge amount of technical information and populist cranial crap that Kim Jung Un wrote about himself. Praise, worship and self adoration en-mass so they can write them down in their little books they all take notes in.
At a press party the other night one of the journalists commented when these Generals are around Kim Jung Un they all take notes, applaud, complement him, smile and wear their big hats.
On KIMS left, your right Colonel General Fok-tup is teaching his top officers not to submit blank sheets of paper with 너 바위 보스 or neo bawi boseu. (Translation: "you rock boss"). He wants to see what they wrote, since he can't remember what KIM said either.
Another commented, Why thats like when Mike Pence and the other stooges in the cabinet get together! He was right, I never thought of that. Maybe we need to get them bigger hats. But a junior officer commented, " How could Pence get his head up Donald's ass with that big a hat? The room went silent for a moment and then every one burst out laughing.
The little family killer questions them the next day and if they are without notes, they will be with-out heads. It was also noted the men wearing these toilet bowls on their heads must have epoxied them to stay in place or they would blow off during sandstorms or rallies the little Hitler throws.
The toilet bowl hats are expansive, not expensive to allow the crap information and propaganda, somewhat really stupid, idolatry they are made to expand and not injure their thin braincells.
Thus, Junior Officers grow into their own stupidity and idolatry and basically lack any form of thinking or culture in a positive way. Cranial dyslexia is a common ailment of this society. Commonly known as " Shit for brains" it is also suffered by T-RUMP.
The line soldiers only get Mao caps since they don't have to think. They only have to dance and shoot and dodge bullets which might be a new competitive sport in the Summer Communist Red Games called " Survival Series".
They also serve as Porto-lets when needed in the field. Since crap flows downhill, they can stand on their hats, the larger surface making it an easier target. Lower ranking soldiers shown above are earning their big hats if they live long enough and have a long way to go.

'Being "Young" and "Without History": Reflections of a Young Researcher into Recent Singapore History'. Asiaview. 17, November 2007: 6-7.
'Coming back here to do research feels like returning to my own past', I wrote in an open letter to residents of Bukit Ho Swee Estate when I conducted fieldwork in Singapore for my PhD dissertation. Inviting individuals who had experienced the great fire of Kampong Bukit Ho Swee in 1961 to participate in my research, the letter added, somewhat self-consciously, 'I am a Singaporean born after the fire in 1972. My father's family had lived along Havelock Road and had fled from the fire, although their kampong was not burnt. I was born in Blk 29, Havelock Road, and later lived in Jalan Membina and Indus Road [places in the vicinity of Bukit Ho Swee]'.
Young Singaporean scholars like myself venturing into the nation's recent history are likely to be influenced in some way by the present. It may be, as in my case, a personal connection or a broader response to real-life developments and concerns in contemporary Singapore. This article, in discussing my research into the Bukit Ho Swee fire, considers the relationship between the past and present and between the old and young.
The subject of my doctoral research is a watershed event, being the greatest fire in Singapore's history, burning down a massive urban kampong ('village' in Malay) and rendering 15,694 people, mostly low-income Chinese, homeless. In the aftermath, the fire victims were swiftly rehoused in emergency flats built on the fire site by the Housing and Development Board. I examine the inferno as a case study of the social transformation of Singapore in the first decade of the People's Action Party (PAP) government. The Bukit Ho Swee disaster is officially depicted as a 'blessing in disguise' in clearing what was allegedly 'an insanitary, congested and dangerous squatter area' and enabling the 'emergence of Bukit Ho Swee Estate: from desolation to progress'. Such an account of the fire indicates, as James Scott contended, the 'self-confidence about scientific and technical progress' which typified 'high modernism'; what is emphasised is the progress which came afterward, not what was lost in the flames. My thesis sought to establish what the fire meant to the fire victims and to the government which responded vigorously to the disaster. This involved research into the official archives and interviews with former kampong dwellers, many of whom still live in or visit Bukit Ho Swee, now a graying estate close to the town area.
To be born after the fire in present-day Singapore is to be 'young'. There are several historical frames defining the 'old' and 'young' – the Japanese Occupation, the 'trials and tribulations' of political development in the 1950s and early 1960s and the unforeseen independence of the nation in 1965 – but all share the one requirement of having experienced the landmark events in recent history. 'Young Singaporeans', also labelled 'post-1965ers' in the press, are purportedly 'without history', having been born in the supposedly rosy phase of Singapore's development after 1965. A generation ago, then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew defined this divide by stating that while his generation 'faced Japanese Occupation, conquest, hardships, brutalities', the younger generation 'have had relatively quiet and placid a life'.
If the recent history so framed disempowered me, it was also compelling. This is after all the period closest to the present; it explains how I am part of this successful, stable but also highly regulated, forward-looking society. It also witnessed the rise to power of the PAP, the party which has since established hegemony over the city-state. Many young Singaporean scholars who venture into the recent past, I think, do so in the pursuit of answers to personal and social questions, such as 'How did Singapore reach its present state?', 'Who am I?' and 'What is our future?' Whereas the PAP Old Guard and older local researchers typically frame the recent past as a success story to highlight the vulnerability of the present and the need for continued PAP governance, the younger scholars are turning to it to independently appraise this official 'Singapore Story'.
In my endeavour, oral history enabled me to bridge the gap with the 'old'. Speaking to low- and middle-income Singaporeans, mostly postwar baby boomers now in their 60s and 70s, I obtained an acute sense of both the achievement and loss among the generation which experienced the fire and the profound changes in everyday life which followed. I was re-acquainted with the Hokkien 'dialect' (more accurately, language) used by many interviewees but which is losing touch among younger Chinese typically schooled in English and Mandarin. What struck me, having grown accustomed to thinking of vernacular Hokkien as a coarse tongue, was its simple charm when spoken by lowly-educated Chinese. The local place names used by the kampong dwellers, unlike the official English versions, are important clues to their historical relationship with the physical environment. Ma Kau Thiong ('Macau cemetery' in Hokkien) was the vernacular term for the disused Cantonese-Hakka cemetery adjacent to Kampong Bukit Ho Swee; it was an important place in the rhythm of kampong life, where pigs roamed freely and unsupervised children played around the gravestones and dug around for bones. Hokkien words and phrases, too, provide an important insight into the mindset of low-income Chinese which English can never adequately express. Trying to make a living in the 1950s by hawking or doing other forms of part-time or irregular work which was typical among low-income Chinese in that decade was plainly stated as che lor ('find a road' in Hokkien). The term indicates the difficulty of life but also the dynamism with which it was tackled.
What surfaces powerfully in the oral histories is the agency and resilience of low-income Chinese, who are customarily depicted in the older narratives to have been 'led' to success by the PAP government. An official publication stated that in Kampong Bukit Ho Swee resided 'an inert community who would not think of moving from their unpleasant and dangerous surroundings until a disaster makes the decision for them'. Oral history, historian Paul Thompson declares, can 'give history back to the people in their own words'. Speaking with former kampong dwellers helped me understand the deep relationship they had with graves, pigs, gangsters, and inflammable wooden houses in the kampong which the political elite desired to remove. It is illuminating history from the margins.
At the same time, the interviews constantly reminded me of my status of being 'young' and 'without history'. My informants declared how 'cham' ['difficult' in Hokkien] life was in the past, how 'people of my generation had the most difficult life', underlining what I personally did not experience. Accompanying such comments was a nostalgia for the non-economic aspects of kampong life. My interviewees repeatedly highlighted what is now impossible in Singapore – how living in an wooden house was liang ('well-ventilated'), that the houses were left unlocked in the day and how people were far more helpful to one another. One of them, reflecting on his childhood days in the kampong, observed that 'there was no interference from the parents, unlike the parents now, who would stop the kid from doing this or that. It was "free concept", the brain was free. We were more capable, more daring'. In these reminiscences, the rapid development of Singapore under the PAP government sits uneasily in the minds of older Singaporeans. The government is one they truly admire – I am often told that the young Lee Kuan Yew was lua hiong ('very daring' in Hokkien) and that Singapore would have been doomed without him. But the profound changes in everyday life which occurred when kampong dwellers were rehoused in public housing and entered a more regulated form of life in the 1960s have left many of them in a position of ambivalence towards the transformation. As sociologist Chua Beng Huat noted, nostalgia for the kampong is 'an intrinsic critique of the present by the ordinary people', which belies a desire for 'recovering control over daily life within the present zone of material comfort'. The oral history indicates how, in a real sense, the fire is still being 'lived through' among the elderly people, as they continue to appraise what the kampong, the fire and the subsequent development mean to them.
Through the oral history of the Bukit Ho Swee fire, the event attains, in Shahid Amin's words, a deeper meaning as a metaphor for the rapid development of modern Singapore and as a focal point for its enduring memory. The relationship between the old and young and between the past and present becomes clear. It is an uneasy one, both for the young scholars attempting to make sense of a recent history from which they are personally removed, and for the elderly participants who are remembering the past and are still considering its meanings.

Into the wild...
If birds, wildlife and beautiful flora and fauna are what the traveller in you has been craving for, the Bandhavgarh National Park is sure to put a smile on your face.india Updated: May 04, 2011 00:37 IST
Lush, scenic and teeming with wildlife, Bandhavgarh National Park nestles in the Vindhya mountains in Madhya Pradesh at the very heart of India. Bandhavgarh is famous for having the densest population of wild tigers anywhere in the world. Over a three night stay and five game drives in the park, chances are, you will see at least one tiger, if not more.
The jeep drivers and forest guards that accompany each group into the forest are excellent spotters, but we've always had a friendly competition going amidst the family that keeps all our antennae up. Sambar, neelgai, wild boar and peacock are called out avidly, and if one of us spots a leopard, sloth bear or a pack of dhole (wild dogs), knuckles meet and serious respect is awarded.
Jungle joy
The thrill of spotting, observing and photographing wildlife is reason enough to make the foray to Bandhavgarh, but there is much else that is rewarding. During our three-and-a-half hour journey from Jabalpur airport to the park, we were pleasantly surprised with the excellent roads, scenic farms and endearing villages devoid of the clutter and congestion seen along the highways of UP and Bihar.
Tala, one of the small villages adjoining the park, has a string of lively dhabas, coffee shops and Malaya, a rather chic handicrafts boutique. It was mid-December when we chanced upon the yearly Kabir Mela, a colourful, tented, three-day market for locals who gather to shop and pray at the local temple just outside the park. Steps away, and just behind the stone wall, is the magnificent sprawl of saal and bamboo forests. We enjoyed the constantly shifting scenery from the jeep and from the howdahs of domesticated elephants. Wide open maidans gave way to grassy swamps and cool rivulets were laced with the dappled shadows of leaves. There was birdsong everywhere. In comparison, the forests in the Americas and in Europe too are beautiful, but they have practically no predators. The thrill of chancing upon a leopard, or hearing the loud, bone-chilling call of a tiger somewhere deep in the thickets makes the Indian jungle experience sublime.
Successful relocation
I recently met naturalist Sarath Champati, who told me about the successful relocation of eighteen Gaur, (wild bison) from Kahna National Park into Bandhavgarh National Park, where they once roamed before they disappeared. Apart from the fact that it is wonderful for visitors to see gaur, spreading them to different locations helps ensure their survival should there be an outbreak of disease in one area. He also spoke of plans to relocate cheetahs to Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
Your guide to the place
When to go
You can go to the park between the months of October and May. The weather is at its best between the months of February and November
How to get there
You can take the train or fly to Jabalpur or Khajuraho. Once you are there, your lodge will send a car to pick you up. It's a 3-4 hours drive to Bandhavgarh
Where to stay
There are plenty of lodges like the upmarket Mahua Kothi and Samode Safari Lodge, to the more reasonably priced Junglemantra and King's Lodge. Your lodge will book your entries into the park for morning and evening game drives, too
What to pack
Dress in layers as it can get hot and cold on the same game drive. Take along a camera, binoculars and a field guide to the flora and fauna of the park

Another winter season is nearly upon us, which means ski resorts across North America will soon be flooded with eager and heavily garbed skiers and snowboarders ready to carve a path down their favorite mountains.
One of those eager participants will be William S. White Winnetka, an avid outdoor enthusiast and skier. A finance and real estate investor, William S. White co-founded the Montessori Academy of Chicago, which emphasizes an acclaimed teaching style that seeks to embrace several key human tendencies like activity, exploration, and manipulation of the environment, all of which could likewise be applied to skiing and snowboarding.
The following are a few of the top skiing and snowboarding locations in North America, several of which have been traversed by William S. White Winnetka, who shares his thoughts on some of his favorites.
Powder Mountain
This aptly named location in Utah, Powder Mountain, is blessed with over 500 inches of snowfall annually and boasts nearly 8,500 acres of skiable terrain, the most in the United States. Thanks to a reasonable limit of 1,500 placed on day tickets, the resort is praised for its lack of waiting lines and vast, open terrain that includes 167 ski trails.
Telluride Ski Resort
Thanks to its elevated altitude, Telluride Ski Resort is nestled in the San Juan mountains and features one of the longest seasons in the region. Lifts carry passengers as high as 12,500 feet, while expert skiers can trek another 600 feet higher to reach pristine, challenging runs. Despite its reputation and National Historic Landmark designation, William S. White Winnetka says that Telluride is blissfully quiet throughout much of the season, with nearby Aspen getting the lion's share of distant travelers.
Whistler Blackcomb
Canada's lone entrant on this list is one of the most renowned ski resorts in the world after playing host to many events during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Whistler has one of the longest vertical drops in North America at over 5,000 feet and contains more than 200 trails. Whistler is also a paradise for winter and outdoors enthusiasts in general, with mountain climbing, bobsledding, dog sledding, zip lining, ice cave treks, and outdoor spas being among the many local attractions.
Jackson Hole
Jackson Hole's remote location and fierce reputation leave its slopes relatively uncrowded for such a world-class ski resort. 11 lifts serve 80 different trails which combine to offer 2,500 acres of inbounds terrain. The region gets plenty of snowfall annually, averaging about 450 inches. William S. White loves the area's steep, fast trails, which feature 4,139 feet of vertical drop. While that gained Jackson Hole a reputation as being for experts only, major changes have been made to the area in recent years that have made it a little more beginner friendly.
Aspen is becoming as well-known for being a luxury and celebrity vacation spot as it is for its skiing and snowboarding, but that shouldn't confuse anyone about just how good those skiing and snowboarding opportunities are says William S. White Winnetka. Aspen houses four different ski areas that total 5,300 acres of skiable terrain, in addition to numerous world-class resorts, several of which boast ski-in/ski-out accommodations. Each of Aspen's resorts use the same lift ticket, so riders are permitted to check out any and all of them with the same pass.
As an experienced skier, William S. White encourages outdoor enthusiasts to hit the slopes at any of the above locations, as they are guaranteed to have a fantastic time.

My dear mother passed away earlier this week and I am now in Australia with my family. She died peacefully with my father and brother by her side. My mother was a faithful, loving, wonderful wife, mother, sister, Nanna and friend. She is now in the presence of Jesus, her saviour whom she loved and trusted throughout her 82 years. I am so blessed to have had such a loving, prayerful, unselfish role model and friend.

This branch, 'berry speckled', is definitely one of my favourites from the new Penny Black release 'Be Merry'. It is pretty on its own but will combine well with other Christmas foliage I'm sure. I decided to watercolour with it, and used a stamp positioning tool to help me add colours one at a time. I worked on hot pressed watercolour paper with masking fluid lightly splattered over it. First I inked the berries in festive berries distress stain and stamped them, next I did the pine needles in peeled paint distress stain and finally the twigs in gathered twigs distress marker. I dried all the initial stamping then added the background blue by painting water close to the edges of the stamping then adding stormy sky distress stain to the wet areas.
Once all the ink and stain was dry I added definition to the berries with a candied apple distress marker. I removed the masking fluid to reveal little white dots, added the sentiment in smokey gray versafine ink and matted the panel in red.

Dressed in snowPosted: August 10, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Fabriano Watercolour Paper, Penny Black stamps, Tsukineko Memento inks 14 Comments
Yes, it's a snow scene, which means there are new Christmas stamps in the house! Penny Black is showing off their new collection 'Be Merry' over the next few weeks and giving away gift certificates to celebrate the new products. This lovely scene is a single stamp and I have inked it in a simple colour to show how easy it is to create a pretty snow scene.
I've mentioned before how much I like memento 'northern pine' ink for wintry tree scenes; when you add water to it, it separates into a teal blue and a brown. One colour becomes three and gives you green foliage, brown bark and the look of blue snow or sky. I stamped the large image on hot pressed watercolour paper with the help of a stamp positioner then spritzed carefully over the trees on the left and far right.
I wanted to preserve some white areas so I spritzed from quite a distance and covered the some areas with my hand as I did it so that I wouldn't lose the look of snow on the lower branches. To finish off the scene I matted with dark green cardstock and attach to a white card base. I know I'll be working with this stamp again!

Happy BlissPosted: February 28, 2017 Filed under: happy bliss, Peerless watercolours, Uncategorized | Tags: Peerless Transparent Watercolors, Penny Black creative dies, Penny Black stamps 6 Comments
The colour scheme and style of today's card is inspired by the amazingly talented and colour savvy Jill Foster. I painted the circle flowers in two blues and saw them sitting on the paper looking pale and weak. When I decided to mix things up with a yellow background they were happy again. I could imagine myself painting the flowers yellow and the sky blue but swapping things around was a bit of jump for me. Jill does these clever things all the time with beautiful results so maybe I will step out of my colour comfort zone more often.
I used Peerless watercolour paints to paint the birds and flowers, then, when it was dry and a bit sad, I decided to dive back in with some orange and yellow peerless paint to fill in the background. I kept things dark on one side and light on the other (like yesterday's card) which suggests a light source. To complete the card I splattered some black ink and added a handlettered sentiment on a die cut banner.
What you can't see because I forgot to photograph it (and believe it or not I cannot find this card right now) is the die-cut circle flower inside the card.
Hope your day is bright!

Stencil negativePosted: January 24, 2017 Filed under: Brusho, Promenade, Uncategorized | Tags: Brusho, Penny Black stamps, Penny Black stencils 14 Comments
The technique I have to share today is one of those 'don't waste all that pretty paint' techniques. Sometimes I will be creating something and paint or ink ends up all over a mat, stamp or in this case, a stencil after the initial project is completed. Rather than simply rinse the ink or paint off it is usually worth taking a print or swiping a piece of paper through the excess paint to pick up all the pretty.
I was creating panels using the Penny Black stencil, promenade, along with molding paste and brusho paint. Once I had finished sprinkling brusho over the stencil and paste, I spritzed with water before removing the stencil. The stencil was covered in diluted brusho so I pressed it onto a piece of cold pressed watercolour paper and this patterned piece was the result. Incidentally I also made two cards with the stencilled shape on them but they did not photograph well at all. They look fine in real life!
I like the 'negative' print from the stencil enough that I might just create a negative print as a technique on its own. But then would I end up with a pretty 'positive print' as a by product of my creating!?!
This post was brought to you from my 'pile of possibilities'.

SweetheartPosted: January 18, 2017 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 Comments
I'm featuring another pretty stamp from the Penny Black 'Follow your heart' release today. This one is appropriately named sweetheart; don't you think those delicate little flowers are sweet? I used the emboss resist technique to make the heart appear white on a pink, yellow and orange background.
I started by stamping the heart on watercolour paper in versamark then embossed in clear powder. I used peerless watercolours to paint over the embossed image diluting with water and blending the colours as I added them. I kept it fairly soft then used more intense colour to highlight a few of the flowers. I chose hot pink to frame the panel and stamp the sentiment which co-ordinated with the brightest areas on the watercoloured panel. I ended up offsetting the panel from the frame, a technique I've seen others do successfully, and I quite like it. I noticed as I played with the positioning that it worked best when the pink mat was centred and the painted panel offset not the other way round.

Little man,
For months I convinced myself I was pregnant. The doctors explained the unlikelihood of my ever having kids, but every month…I was so sure. Every negative test felt like a personal attack, like I was being punished for wanting a kid knowing my condition can be genetic.
Then it happened. I cannot explain why it was different, I just knew. Your dad had that look in his eye, the one he gets when he knows how badly the fallout will be when I get hurt. Your daddy though, he's a patient and supportive man. He just smiled along as I talked about you; about the possibility of our life with you. Hearing your heartbeat, it truly was the most beautiful sound I had ever heard.
I won't lie to you, pregnancy was as terrifying as it was magical. I was determined to finish school and make a good life for you which kept me busy. The doctors' appointments stacked up, the usual and the specialists. Then I developed SUA (Single Umbilical Artery) and that required extra fetal monitoring. Between trying to contribute financially and still figure out who I was, I cried a lot. I spent a lot of time wondering if I was a terrible person for wanting you so badly, when you could end up like me.
I want you to know, that if that day should ever come, there is no one that will fight harder for you, with you, than me. I am now and forever your biggest cheerleader.
You turn four tomorrow buddy, and I couldn't be any prouder of you. You are smart, so smart and that makes it harder for mommy to hide things from you. I want you to know how loved and valued you are. Sometimes mommy hurts, sometimes mommy cries, sometimes mommy gets mad and anxious about things that have nothing to do with you, and I am sorry for that. Sometimes mommy will have to sit things out, or be away from you for a few nights. In these moments I want you to remember that you are the breath in my lungs and the blood in my veins. You are the reason I fight so hard. The reason I have survived.
Falling in love with your dad was like finding water in the desert, but falling in love with you was like finding myself. Finding where I fit, where I belong. Thank you for being my son. For being a loving and caring big brother, and for making your daddy and I so proud.
Happy Birthday, son.

I'm Oksana Belo, Founder & Exclusive Designer of OBELO jewelry. Since 2010, I've been creating women's jewelry, which was featured on the red carpet in Hollywood, TV, and top fashion magazines. Through the years, questions arose in me, such as, why does one design look particularly striking on one woman, and not so great on any other. I saw how colors can affect one's look and lighten up or dampen a face. I witnessed the magic of accessories and how they can really can transform a mood, elevate a look, and make it special, original, and memorable.
I believe, Accessories are the signature of your STYLE.
But no matter how much I love jewelry and accessories, I understand they are not the whole look. To get the full picture and to create a maximum impact the total image needs to work. With backgroung in Art, Design, and Image-Makers school, I've accomulated the knowlegde that I'm now sharing with you. Learn more…
I met with Oksana to help me get a better understanding of how to diversify my style. I thought I knew what colors and styles fit me best but now I realize I was way off. Oksana helped me feel a new confidence in choosing colors and textures that push me out of my comfort zone but that look really good. As soon as I was done seeing Oksana for our consultation I felt so inspired – I went straight home and cleared out my closet, organized, and started to bring new colors and patterns into my wardrobe. I feel a noticeable boost in my confidence and I'm excited to see where these consultations take my style. Also, my boyfriend noticed me trying new things and has commented that I "look great!" in my new outfits. I look forward to continuing to work with Oksana in the future. She has made such a positive impact on my life.
I get comments on this one of a kind necklace every time I wear it! Oksana was a dream to work with and wanted to make sure the finished product was exactly what I was looking for! And it turned out absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It would be a perfect and unique gift for that person that is extremely hard to shop for!

Surface cleaning the photograph prior to washing and refixing. (Image by
Johanna Pinney.)
third-year internship has been spent working in a busy private practice in Kansas
City—Heugh-Edmondson Conservation Services, LLC—where I just finished
treating a unique portrait photograph of Nancy Heugh under the guidance of my
supervisor Tom Edmondson. From the initial examination to the final report, I loved
this project. It checked off every box for me in terms of what I wanted to do this
year, but for the sake of brevity, here are the top three reasons why I enjoyed
it so much.
1. It allowed
me to get to know Tom and Nancy more and learn about their journeys into conservation. The
photograph I treated depicted Nancy pre-program, posed on the edge of a bowling
ball return carousel at Woodland Lanes bowling alley in Woodland, California. The
picture was taken for a local newspaper to highlight her as employee of the
month. As the project moved forward Tom, Nancy, and I shared our thoughts on
pre-program life and all of the people who helped us get to where we are today.
I learned that mentoring students has always been a large and cherished part of
Tom and Nancy's journey. Their commitment to teaching has become one of the
things that I admire the most about them.
2. It gave me an opportunity to utilize my printing skills while also learning
to perform refixing with a pioneer photograph conservator. Refixing is a
chemical treatment that aims to stabilize and aesthetically improve a photographic
print by removing a specific type of overall discoloration due to poor
processing. In the print of Nancy, the unexposed, light-sensitive salts and
other chemicals were not completely removed during processing and the residual
chemistry manifested as orange-yellow discoloration. My decision to propose
chemical treatment on this photograph was not made lightly. It was supported by
an in-depth examination of the print, research on print chemistry and processing,
and an open discussion with the owner (Nancy). In addition, Tom shared his
refixing experience with me in great detail as well as reference materials from
the 1999 Kent Workshop on chemical treatment at the studio of José Orraca, another
pioneer of photograph conservation. It was humbling to discover these complex procedures
and philosophies established twenty years ago(!) by my elders. One of the
documents was a useful reference for decision making because it
highlighted the ethical considerations and arguments for/against chemical
Left: The photograph before and after treatment. Right: The print immersed in a
photo-grade fixing solution. (Images by Amber Kehoe.)
Detail of the photograph before and after treatment. (Images by Amber Kehoe.)
3. It inspired me to think about the possibility of
using before and after images to discern and assess color change in refixing
treatments. Tom, Nancy, and I agreed that this treatment was a success. The
orange-yellow discoloration was nearly gone, and there was no visible decrease
in the image density. Under magnification, the silver image material appeared
unchanged. The print was stabilized, but as expected, the image tone changed
from warm yellow to cool white. I realized the shift was also amplified by the
fact that the image was a halftone composed of small, regularly-spaced, silver
dots. All of the white space between the dots was no longer yellow,
which made the print appear brighter overall. Looking back, I might have been
able to estimate what the print was going to look like by removing the yellow
cast in the before treatment images. Going forward, I hope to further develop
my Photoshop skills to include digital restoration.

You'll break your back and ruin your holiday and still never make everyone happy. So, in lieu of an ER visit (the broken back), or fighting with your siblings or parents, be true to yourself. Decide what you want out of your holiday for yourself and your family and make it happen. Yes, you may disappoint others, yet you will not disappoint yourself. You can absolutely do it.

About my fundraiser
TCS Amsterdam Marathon 2014,
This year I have decided to put my back to the test and partake in the Amsterdam half-marathon on Sunday the 19th October 2014.
If you can all re-call, two years ago, I swam through the canals of Amsterdam for the ALS cause (motor neuron disease). At very short notice notice I managed to raise €500, and I thank each and every one of you who donated.
This year, I have decided to run for cancer. So many people I know, have been touched, or affected by this disease. This run is for them, and their families. With your donation, continuous research can be done to come up with some sort of answers of how to cure cancer.
I really think that the people at VUmc Cancer Center Amsterdam are doing a great job, and I have decided to raise funds to help them perform their work.
I would greatly appreciate if you could help me in my fundraising efforts, by making a donation to VUmc Cancer Center Amsterdam, or bringing awareness around my fundraising efforts. There are no small donations.
Donations are processed through Alvarum.
It is very easy and 100% secure.
Thank you for your help!

Make-A-Wish® was the one positive thing to think about in the midst of all the negative.
Angie, Rose's mom
As her children run towards the newly constructed playset in their backyard, Angie thinks of how different their lives were just one year earlier. She remembers the horror she felt when doctors diagnosed Rose with stage 4 kidney cancer.
Within 24 hours of her diagnosis, Rose endured a six-hour surgery to remove the tumor, her kidney and adrenal gland. Over the next year she would face the trauma of chemotherapy, radiation, two more surgeries, a blood transfusion and countless medications.
"We led a beautifully simple life with four happy kids, and it all changed in an instant," Angie said. "The whirlwind of those early months was like drowning."
During those months, Rose spent the majority of her time under quarantine at the hospital. She missed her siblings immensely. All she could think about was having the chance to play without worry. So when Make-A-Wish® Minnesota asked what her one true wish was, Rose knew right away. She wished to have a playset where she could spend time with her brother and sisters.
"Make-A-Wish® was the one positive thing to think about in the midst of all the negative," Angie said.
Now, as Angie watched Rose run toward her new playset, she couldn't help being overcome with a feeling of joy. Rose finally had the freedom she had been longing for, and wasn't going to miss a single moment of it.
Every year, hundreds of kids like Rose are diagnosed with critical illnesses. You can help bring hope and joy to Minnesota wish kids today! Click here to discover all the ways you can make wishes come true.

Look up at the skies this weekend in Plainville, and you just might spot a giraffe or a wicked witch.
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. Those are just two of nearly thirty hot air balloon designs featured at the Plainville Fire Company Hot Air Balloon Festival underway at Norton Park.
This annual tradition, now in its thirtieth year, draws thousands of spectators from all over New England and New York. It's all to raise funds for the town's all-volunteer fire department and the local organizations they support.
"It's the biggest fundraiser the fire company has right now," said festival co-chairman and firefighter Phil Brousseau. "And the money goes back to the community in the forms of scholarships."
The hot air balloons take top billing at the three day event running Friday through Sunday morning, but the festival has also expanded over the years to include live music, fair food and more than 75 craft vendors.
The festival opens at 5:30 a.m. on Sunday, with one last balloon flight scheduled for 6 a.m. Admission and parking are free.

Coming Soon.net have a little review of footage shown at Paramount's CinemaCon from Tom Cruise's role as Jack Reacher, from the popular crime novel series by Lee Child.
The movie, co-written by Christopher McQuarrie, is supposedly called One Shot, the title of Child's ninth Reacher book, however that has still to be confirmed.
Here is a small paragraph or two from their mini-review: "Even though we were given the usual warning that this wasn't color-timed or anything, the footage really looked fantastic…. The other thing the footage showed us is how well McQuarrie is blending the use of silence–Jack just looking at someone or sitting in his car driving–with the razor-sharp delivery of the patter, presumably influenced by Lee Child's prose. Either way, this looks like it will be a fun addition to the action genre and to Cruise's filmography and a great follow-up to Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol."
One Shot is scheduled for release on December 21.
