Vastavam web: The Congress today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to speak out on the CBSE paper leak issue and provide a solution to students who had been affected by it.Congress leader Pawan Khera said clarity was still missing in the paper leak case and this had led to chaos.Questioning the silence of senior BJP leaders over the issue, he said Modi should answer the questions that were being raised.Alleging that the government was "involved in full-time politics and part-time governance", Khera accused it of keeping parents and students in the dark.
"Today, parents and students don't know what the government wants. (Prakash) Javadekarji says that other than those in Delhi and NCR no other child has to appear for a retest," he told reporters here.The Congress leader also referred to the arrest yesterday of Satish Pandey, an alleged ABVP leader who runs a coaching institute in Jharkhand.
"He is linked to the Sangh. Why did he have the paper? There are layers and layers of mysterious information in this," he said, adding that the last few days had seen the "nationalisation of the Vyapam model of the BJP"."There is an involvement of government or leadership of the BJP. We demand an enquiry which will reveals the roots," he said.Khera also wondered if something that was leaked through social media platforms such as WhatsApp could be restricted to the Delhi-NCR region.
"Javadekarji, you come from a party where most of its leaders and supporters have gained all their education from WhatsApp university. And you are not understanding that it's scientifically impossible to restrict WhatsApp," he said.Khera said the recent lathi-charge on a group of young protestors demonstrating against an alleged leak in a Staff Selection Commission (SSC) paper was "criminal" of the government. The government should have had a discussion with the protestors, he said.

Russia and the US have signed an agreement to regulate the operations of the two countries' air forces in Syria, as well as to prevent incidents and provide for the smooth operation of the two nations' aircraft.
The agreement on Tuesday, whose full name is "The Memorandum of Mutual Understanding between the Defense Ministries of Russia and the United States on preventing incidents and providing for aviation flights during operations in Syria" is hailed as a 'positive step', the Russian Defense Ministry said in a press release.
The document "has important practical value. It regulates the actions of manned and unmanned aircraft in the airspace above Syria. The Memorandum contains a set of rules and limitations aimed at preventing incidents between the air forces of Russia and the US," the Defense Ministry said, Russia Today reported.
As soon as the agreement comes into force, there will be 24/7 communication channels established between the Russian and American military commanders. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, its US counterparts have pledged to convey the agreement's details to their anti-ISIL coalition partners, so that they, too, follow the rules it sets.
The signing of the Memorandum "shows a high potential for cooperation between Russia and the US, including in the fight against terrorism".
However, the Russian Defense Ministry stresses that the Memorandum is strictly "military and technical" and it's signing does not change Russia's principal position, which is that "its military is acting in Syria at the request of the legitimate authorities, whereas the use of force in one country's territory by another country without its authorities' agreement or a ruling by the UN Security Council is against international law."
The memorandum signed both by Russia and the USA has already come into force, according to Pentagon. The document doesn't suggest establishing cooperation zones or sharing intelligence information.
Russia has been conducting a campaign of airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant in Syria for three weeks now. Daily reports from the Defense Ministry indicate dozens of ISIL targets have been hit, including weapon and ammunition depots, supply and communication lines, headquarters and command posts. The bombing campaign has been timed together with the Syrian army's push against ISIL terrorists.
Meanwhile, the US-led coalition forces are carrying out bombing operations of their own – with Moscow blaming them for lacking a UN Security Council mandate or approval from Syria's legal authorities.

A few days ago we talked about a project dubbed Atmosphere-NX on Github for the Nintendo Switch, which it's basically the start of CFW for the Nintendo Switch. Now developer SciresM, is the one mainly focusing on this project for the Switch and many other talented devs are helping him along the way.
Since he started this project, he has been non-stop and always posting new developments. Now they have done a ton of debugging for it and just recently got Atmosphere to work well enough to boot up the home menu. There are still some more bugs to work out and it's still a work in progress but this is a HUGE accomplishment!! Now I'm sure SciresM will keep us updated on the progress of this project but just watching the video below gets me excited about the Nintendo Switch's homebrew future.

Gaining Audience Attention >
Whether face-to-face or online, gaining attention is a crucial element to course design. This element is prevalent in both Gagne's 9 Elements and Keller's ARCS Model. The important thing to consider in implementing this element is that it does not need to be a single occurrence at the start of course, but can be integrated throughout the course. And it must have a learning objective and/or reinforce the content at hand. Caution, don't overdo it. Adding attention grabbers can also become annoying distractions. So, be careful and get your beta testers' opinion too.
- It's ok to use humor, just be careful not to offend. Also, make sure it is not culturally specific…everyone should get the joke.
- Quality graphics or animation are great. Remember only use them to reinforce and support the learning objective(s).
- Sims, scenarios or videos of how the content is applied will not only get their attention, but also reinforce the relevance of the course.
- Do not be hesitant because something may be perceived as silly. I propose that increases in silliness have a positive correlation with learner retention. Yes, that is my hypothesis. At this time I have plenty of anecdotal evidence to support this. I would share this evidence with you, but my dog ate it.
- Add educational games, puzzles, group exercises, etc.
Most importantly, if you have fun and add your personality in designing and/or facilitating the course your audience will have your attention and attention will be given to the content you are delivering. And of course retention and learner motivation will follow right along with it.
How do you gain attention?

Explore and Learn About Mars
Google Earth now includes Mars. It is free and uses updated photos taken by NASA. Besides being able to explore the red planet and its features, it also includes an interactive tour with Bill Nye the Science Guy, visits to landing sites of craft that have visited Mars, historical maps and a whole slew of other educational material.
If you are interested in the rest of the solar system and deep sky objects (e.g. galaxies and nebulae), they also have a Sky view. This allows you to explore a plethora of objects and plenty of info about these objects. This is definitely a must see for anyone interested in astronomy.
Below is a video tutorial for exploring Mars. Or go straight to Google Earth and start exploring.
Farewell to a Great Corporate University
Tomorrow on 5.22.2009, Provident Bank will cease to exist. It was founded in 1886, but has now been acquired by another bank. With the end of Provident Bank, so ends a fantastic corporate university, the University of Provident.
The University of Provident is the absolute best training department that I have seen. And I am truly honored to have been a part of it. In this short post I will not be able to do justice to the high quality of training produced, but I will try. The University was a compilation of extremely talented trainers, managers and LMS administrator whose priority was sound instructional design, quality facilitation and assuring that the learners' needs were met. The incredibly high level of skill and talent among the team was not chance. I afford this to a combination of great leadership, mentorship, partnership among the team, and sincere caring about our audience who desired to be the best bankers in the industry.
So, I say thank you for giving me the honor of being a part of this incredible team of trainers and leaders. And thank you to Provident Bank staff who were so eager to learn.
And a big thank you to our fearless leader (TB), who established the corporate university and did not only lead, but mentored.
Here's the Course
Today, I was able to participate in Corporate Learning Trend's e-Learning Tour. Thank you Tony Karrer for including my presentation.
Demonstrating the course via screenshots did not give full justice to the the course. So, here is a link where you may view it at your leisure. The course is a non-linear self paced course created for my corporate university and introduced a new relationship banking service.
The e-Learning Tour had some really amazing examples of m-learning, games, and self-paced courses. A big kudos goes out to Tony Karrer for putting this together. Hopefully, their will be many more like it to come.
I am considering buying a Wacom. If you do not know what is, it is a graphics tablet. You can connect it to your PC and with it's pen you can write, draw, illustrate, etc. This can give more of a pen to paper approach to creating graphics, which for me is a big advantage over creating graphics only with a mouse. And it is compatible with a fair amount of software including many Adobe products such as Flash, Fireworks, and Photoshop. I am a big user of Flash and can see many advantages to having a Wacom at my side when developing in Flash. And not just animations, but also enhancing sims and videos developed or imported into Flash. Especially videos, which I love to "Add Pizzazz to videos."
I do not have formal training in graphics, but without a graphic artist at my disposal I have been forced to learn enough to hold my own. This is probably the case for many e-learning designers. As a side note, having a skilled graphic artist on an e-learning team is essential, but not always a reality. So, any tools I can get my hands on to improve the quality of graphics I use and speed up the process, the better.
Here are some tutorials I have found while exploring Wacoms:
40+ Tutorials for Working WIth Wacom Tablets
How to Create an Animated Walk Cycle in Flash (Using Flash and a Wacom)
How to Work With a Wacom Tablet in Photoshop
Adobe Photoshop Tips and Tricks (Wacom)
US Army Using Interactive Videos
Here is an article on one way the army is using videos in online learning. http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/05/15/soldiers.videogames/index.html
They are creating "immersive cultural simulation" programs, which uses realistic video created in California, but also combines it with actual footage from Iraq. They make an important point in the article that "…soldiers relate more to human characters than virtual avatars." I would think this is extremely important when it comes to cultural sensitivity, which they are using the simulations for. Bottom line, they are presented with a realistic video depicting a scenario where they must make a choice and then shown the results of their choice. Not a terribly complex design, but probably effective.

how do i use the trig inverse keys?
There are a number of ways.
Say I want

Die Praxis der/des Echo
Zum Theater des Widerhalls
Edited By Veronika Darian, Micha Braun, Jeanne Bindernagel and Miroslaw Kocur
(Polish) Theatre as a Rhizome of Echoes: The Case of Acropolis
Acropolis, the central fortress, national archive, and main sanctuary of ancient Athens, became in the 19th century an epitome of the Western civilization for Polish people deprived of their own country. At the beginning of 20th century, the Polish painter and playwright Stanisław Wyspiański identified in his famous drama Akropolis the Athenian Acropolis with the principal Polish sanctuary and national necropolis, the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków.
Dreaming of liberated Poland, Wyspiański placed the action of his drama inside the Royal Cathedral. During the night to Easter Sunday all the Homeric and biblical heroes portrayed on the tapestries, as well as many tomb monuments come to life and form a symbolic resurrection procession towards the main altar. In the poetical climax of the play, Apollo/Christ comes down in his chariot of fire and crushes the cathedral. Ancient echoes were to remind homelandless Poles that they still belong to the Western culture and that resurrection—also in the sense of a national rebirth—will not be given to them but must be achieved through hard work.
Seventeen years after the Second World War, in communist Poland, theatre director Jerzy Grotowski and painter Józef Szajna confronted the ancient echoes with contemporary ones in their radical re/de/construction of Wyspiański's Akropolis. During the war, the concentration camp in Auschwitz became the new sanctuary and necropolis of the Western civilization. Actors of the Teatr 13 Rzędów (Theatre of 13 Rows, later the...

WhatsApp is gearing up to lastly monetize its messaging app by charging large enterprise businesses for tools to better communicate with customers. We have now found Tricor to be an expert and dynamic group. Their data and value added companies truly profit the consumer. We first began out relationship with Tricor in year 1996. It's reassuring to know that we can rely on the useful and skilled employees to make sure our secretarial works are at all times so as and prepared on time. They have been fast and efficient in answering all our technical queries.
Given the high variety of acquisitions (requiring complex software program integration,) fast buyer growth (with a number of CRM and accounting procedures and instruments,) and high dependency upon information files for transmission and billing (with glaring inconsistencies and access methodologies,) the importance of reaching challenge transparency, ROI evaluation, finances accuracy, on time undertaking delivery and constant system uptime as famous by IT administration was positively noteworthy.
A manner with words, enthusiasm and persistence are all vital on this aggressive enterprise. Networking-by developing contacts with reporters and other media-is also essential to helping your clients go public with press releases and more.
The business focuses on financials and guidelines & rules. Particularly within the B2B (Business-to-Business) environment, a stable framework is needed to effectively handle and management the relationship between enterprise partners, e.g. Service Suppliers and Service Purchasers. For any stakeholder, this involves enterprise compliance, adhering to business needs and achieving business goals with the intention to achieve success. As a part of BSM, skilled Service Stage Administration units the inspiration for fulfilling contractual as well as business wants. Binding contracts are in place, which outline providers in addition to service credits in case of incompliances.
The demands on businesses at this time are immense, as an illustration, the need to always innovate and offer higher value to clients despite useful resource constraints. On this planet of business, lean is nicely and actually in. What's wanted is the constant creation of zero-waste worth streams throughout technologies, assets and departments.

As a child, birthdays are very important. Growing bigger into another age is significant to children, in which they should be celebrated. A part of this celebration is the birthday cake. Everyone gathers around the table and sings, while the candles on a cake wait patiently to be blown out.
For my birthdays, I had the Money Cake. I loved this cake. I would pick any flavor for my mom to bake and decorate. Then she would wrap coins and put them between a layer, and frost it. It was such a delight to see who got the most money or larger coins as a surprise.
Christina Williams has three children and lives in Salt Lake City. She has a wonderful blog writing about DIY projects, graphic design, parenting and home design projects. As a child, she also had this tradition of a Money Cake for birthdays. Christina has turned this idea for inspiration into her own celebrations.
"Growing up, my grandma used to make money cakes for family birthday parties. The birthday kid got to choose their slice of cake first; and you got to keep whatever money you found inside the cake. The grand prizes were Grandma's extra special 50-cent pieces and silver dollar coins. The rest of the cake contained quarters, dimes and nickels; but everyone felt like a million bucks after eating one of Grandma's money cakes."
"There's no better time to bring back the money cake tradition than at St. Patrick's Day. Baking your shiny gold coins inside a cake is the best way to keep them safe from those sneaky Leprechauns. Or not. But it's still fun."
Here's how you make money cakes:
- Get a bunch of coins. Note: I usually ask the bank for new gold dollars…that appeases my inner germophobe.
- Sanitize the heck out of 'em. Bleach them, scrub them, run 'em through the dishwasher. Do whatever you have to do to feel good about baking them in a cake. Grandma always scrubbed them up with hot, soapy water and we never got sick. But I prefer to scrub them with bleach, then run them through the dishwasher.
- Then cut squares of waxed paper and wrap up each coin in it's own little packet.
Now mix up your favorite cake batter and grab your favorite cupcake wrappers. Fill the cupcakes halfway, then put a little coin packet on top. After the coin is in place, top it off with more cake batter so the coin is hidden inside the cake.
While the cakes bake, whip up your favorite frosting and grab an assortment of sprinkles. Let the cupcakes cool, and decorate.
Cupcakes are always exciting; but cupcakes with a hidden treasure are the very best kind. Prepare yourself for oohs and aahs and squeals of delight as your little Leprechauns discover their hidden treasure.

^ Harris, Elizabeth J. (7 June 2010). "Violence and Disruption in Society: A Study of the Early Buddhist Texts". Access to Insight. John T. Bullitt. Retrieved 7 June 2011. If you, Rahula, are desirous of doing a deed with the body, you should reflect on the deed with the body, thus: "That deed which I am desirous of doing with the body is a deed of the body that might conduce to the harm of self and that might conduce to the harm of others and that might conduce to the harm of both; this deed of body is unskilled (akusala), its yield is anguish, its result is anguish.
Save high-intensity interval training and heavy weight training for feed days/during your feed window, if you can, when you have the calories for fuel and nutrients for recovery. But if your training schedule calls for a grueling workout on a fast day that can't be moved, add the calories burned to your count for the day so you don't burn through muscle. At 200 or 300 calories, you don't need to compensate, but if you burn 500 or more on a fast day, instead of just 500 maintenance calories with 50g of protein, eat 1,000 calories with 80g or more of protein, Varady advises.
You'll probably lose weight on the Fast Diet because you'll consume significantly fewer calories than you normally would on two days of the week. If you actually stick with the plan, you'll steadily drop weight. And because the two fast days are nonconsecutive and allow for at least some eating, the diet authors have found that people don't typically binge and overeat on the nonfasting days.
6. Are you hungry all the time? A scale of 1 to 10 is helpful in moments like this. One is ravenous, while 10 is extremely full. What is your number before and after meals? What is your number at moments during the fast? While hunger may be part of a fast given the caloric restriction, it shouldn't be constant, ongoing and terrible. Also, notice portions when eating. If you haven't created the right balance, you might overeat when breaking a fast, which is hard on your digestion and metabolism. Ideally, once acclimated, you'd stay within the 3 to 7 range at all times, 3 when fasting and 7 after meals.
Christian fasting isn't some kind of a "work" that's commanded by Christ or required by Scripture. However, that doesn't mean that fasting isn't recommended as a part of our spiritual growth. The Book of Acts records believers fasting before they made important decisions (Acts 13:4; 14:23). Fasting and prayer are often linked together (Luke 2:37; 5:33). Too often, the focus of fasting is on the lack of food. However, the purpose of fasting is to take our eyes off the things of this world and instead focus on God. Fasting is a way to demonstrate to God and to ourselves that we are serious about our relationship with Him. Although fasting in Scripture is almost always a fasting from food, there are other ways to fast. Anything you can temporarily give up in order to better focus on God can be considered a fast (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). Fasting should be limited to a set time, especially when the fasting is from food. Extended periods of time without eating are harmful to the body. Fasting is not intended to punish our flesh, but to focus on God.
Pros: According to the founders, while everyone is technically fasting every day — during the hours when we're not eating — most of us do so haphazardly, which makes it harder to reap the rewards. Fat Loss Forever offers a seven-day schedule for fasting so that the body can get used to this structured timetable and reap the most benefit from the fasting periods. (Plus, you get a full cheat day. And who doesn't love that?)
The biggest concern most people have is that Intermittent Fasting will lead to lower energy, focus, and the "holy crap I am hungry" feeling during the fasting period and ruin them. People are concerned that they will spend all morning being miserable because they haven't consumed any food, and thus will be miserable at work and ineffective at whatever task it is they are working on.
On this plan you'll eat clean five days of the week but will not eat anything for two nonconsecutive days of the week. For example, you can fast on Monday and Thursday but eat clean meals on the other days. Food on these five days will look just like the rest of the fasting plans—healthy fats, clean meat sources, vegetables, and some fruit. Keep in mind that this plan is not for beginners, and you should always talk to your doctor before starting any fasting regimen, especially if you are on medication or have a medical condition.
When you're intermittent fasting, you eat all the food your body needs but during a shorter period of time. There are many methods, but the most common involves eating during a 6- to 8-hour window, and fasting the remaining 14 to 16 hours. It's not as bad as it sounds, especially when you add Bulletproof Coffee to keep hunger levels in check (more on that later).
Fasting has been found to have positive effects on body mass as well as other health markers in professional athletes. This is because, as previously mentioned, fasting can effectively shed excess fat, while optimizing muscle growth, because of HGH production. Traditionally, athletes are advised to consume high-quality protein half hour after finishing their workouts (post-workout nutrition) to simultaneously build muscle and reduce fat. Fasting is advised for training days, while eating is encouraged on game days.
And there are many plans, because there are many schools of thought about what's considered fasting, what food or drink should be consumed during eating windows, and how long these windows should last. Here are a few of the most common methods: Intermittent fasting means eating normally four or five days a week and consuming minimal calories on two or three nonconsecutive days. Time-restricted eating requires setting a window for consuming food, such as 7 a.m. to 7 p.m, and having nothing but noncaloric liquids the rest of the time. The "fasting mimicking diet" involves eating a small number of calories daily for a specific period of time — say five consecutive days every other month. These protocols all have benefits and drawbacks. One approach may work well for some while being entirely unsustainable for others.
Making sure you're hydrated in general is not only healthy, but can also help stave off hunger. Drinking water before a meal and during the day can help temporarily stave off hunger pangs by putting something in your stomach. Plus, water helps keep your body functioning properly throughout the day. When you're fasting, remember to get plenty of fluids.
Having issues with an eating disorder, I feel equipped to answer your question. The purpose of fasting is to take the focus off of being fulfilled by anything other than God. You can confess your addiction to the Lord and fast with the anticipation that He will free you from this addiction. Fasting and praying can help you gain mastery over your thoughts and behaviors. The enemy will try to attack you with all kinds of nonsense, but if you are prepared for the attack with God's Word, you will stand strong. After breaking the fast, employ the wisdom and self control that you gained during the fast and refuse to accept your former behaviors.
When Varady and her colleagues conducted a study that combined alternate day fasting and exercise, they allowed the participants to pick whether they wanted to exercise on a feasting or fasting day, and found there was no strong preference one way or the other. But the researchers were surprised the dieters actually reported feeling more energetic on fasting days.
Finally, fasting was frequently associated with supplicatory prayer. David prayed and fasted over his sick child ( 2 Sam 12:16 ), weeping before the Lord in earnest intercession (vv. 21-22). Nehemiah, having heard of Jerusalem's desolation, wept, fasted, and prayed that God would give him favor with King Artaxerxes of Persia so that he might return to his homeland and repair its ruins ( Neh 1:4-11 ). Esther, under similar circumstances, urged Mordecai and the Jews to fast for her as she planned to appear before her husband the king ( Esther 4:16 ). Clearly, fasting and petition are here one and the same (cf. Jer 14:12 ).
The combination of fasting and praying is not a fad or a novelty approach to spiritual discipline. Fasting and praying are not part of a human-engineered method or plan. They are not the means to manipulate a situation or to create a circumstance. Fasting and praying are Bible-based disciplines that are appropriate for all believers of all ages throughout all centuries in all parts of the world.
Fasting in the Ethiopian Church implies abstention from food and drink. No animal products are consumed, including dairy, eggs and meat, and utensils that have touched such products must be washed before touching the strictly vegan foods that are consumed on fast days. During fast periods, Holy Liturgy (Mass) is held at noon (except on Saturdays and Sundays), and because no food can be consumed before communion, it is traditional for people to abstain from food until mass is over (around 2 to 3 in the afternoon). Every Wednesday and Friday are days of fasting because Wednesday is the day that the Lord was condemned and Friday is the day he was crucified (the Wednesdays and Fridays between Easter Sunday and Pentecost Sunday are an exception as well as when Christmas or Epiphany fall on a Wednesday or a Friday). The fasts that are ordained in the canon of the Church of Ethiopia are:
Kickstarts ketosis: Usually, reaching full ketosis takes careful planning and extreme carb limiting, but intermittent fasting provides a shortcut to this fat-burning state. Once your body drains glucose — its primary source of energy — it is forced to burn through its fat reserves for energy in a process called ketosis. Ketosis improves your blood chemistry, reduces inflammation, and helps you drop weight fast.[6] To really burn through extra fat, combine your intermittent fasting with a keto diet. Learn more here about why keto is more effective with intermittent fasting
The increase in longevity is also clearly associated with a decrease in disease states that would cut your life short, and calorie restriction is associated with a number of health improvements, including reduced visceral fat, reduced inflammation, lower blood pressure, and improved insulin sensitivity,5,6 just to name a few. Earlier research has demonstrated that calorie restriction helps extend the lifespan of animals by improving insulin sensitivity and inhibiting the mTOR pathway.
fast, rapid, swift, fleet, quick, speedy, hasty, expeditious mean moving, proceeding, or acting with celerity. fast and rapid are very close in meaning, but fast applies particularly to the thing that moves fast horses and rapid to the movement itself. rapid current swift suggests great rapidity coupled with ease of movement. returned the ball with one swift stroke fleet adds the implication of lightness and nimbleness. fleet runners quick suggests promptness and the taking of little time. a quick wit speedy implies quickness of successful accomplishment speedy delivery of mail and may also suggest unusual velocity. hasty suggests hurry and precipitousness and often connotes carelessness. a hasty inspection expeditious suggests efficiency together with rapidity of accomplishment. the expeditious handling of an order
César Chávez undertook a number of spiritual fasts, including a 25-day fast in 1968 promoting the principle of nonviolence, and a fast of 'thanksgiving and hope' to prepare for pre-arranged civil disobedience by farm workers.[17][19] Chávez regarded a spiritual fast as "a personal spiritual transformation".[20] Other progressive campaigns have adopted the tactic.[21]

"Oh I don't know... why don't we have both and then we're bound to have it at least half right..."
Imaginary conversation regarding these signs????
Random reflections on culture, life and the Universe. Warning: will regularly include Scottish actors.
"Which should it be? One 'n' or two?"
"Oh I don't know... why don't we have both and then we're bound to have it at least half right..."
bound to turn out a bunch of ilitiretts, erm, illaterists, illatteists people wot cant spel
I prefer the two n's meself...
I get my pedants hat on here and say it's not what is nice or what we like that matters, but how you spell the bloody word - two ls and two ns. And to take my anally retentive pedantry to new levels, annawaits should never have put an apostrophe between the n and s!! Oh, and I should never have put two exclamation marks at the end of my last sentence. And I should never have put a comma in front of the "and" in the last sentence, while, of course, I should never have started this sentence with an "And" --- err, I'll get my coat ...
Argh! And I should have put an apostrophe in between the t and s in pedants! I'm never visiting this site again - I have humiliated myself for the last time!
Blimey, those signs take me back... I bet the Cherry Tree Buildings aren't there any more!
I used to live just off a road that was Sherriff Road at the top and Sherrif Road at the bottom...
Ha. No indeed Stu the Cherry Tree buildings have gone - and the huts at the back of Old Engineering... long gone in the pursuit of further greenery and looking good. Because you know its always better to have not enough rooms for teaching or admin than to have some old buildings hanging about...
Reidski - sorry about delay in replying but Yahoo absolutely bonkers at the mo!
Humiliation? You are welcome here at any time, humiliated or not (hmmm, is it wrong that I have some strange images of you and JJ in my head at the mention of humiliation...? you really should lay off the bondage...)
Sorry, it's a hot Monday morning. Forgive me...
Ah, Nottingham Uni. So much energy expended in the pursuit of such stupid ideas. No money for student facilities, loads of cash for the East Midlands Conference Centre... has it changed much?

Run time for Urinetown is approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes including one intermission.
Urinetown, which ran on Broadway from 2001 to 2004 and won Tonys for Best Book and Best Score in 2002, is a satirical comedy that lampoons political corruption, economic inequality and irresponsible handling of the environment.
In the world of Urinetown, as Officer Lockstock informs us, "Everyone has to use public bathrooms to take care of their private business;" this is the result of a catastrophic twenty-year drought, which has made water scarce and precious. As the play opens, The Poor are waiting in front of "Public Amenity # 9"; admission is high (the facilities are run by a private corporation – Urine Good Company), so the Poor must wait in line for hours to use "the poorest, filthiest urinal in town." Anyone caught "peeing for free" is exiled to the mythical Urinetown. As the guardian of "Public Amenity #9 sings, "The politicians in their wisdom saw/That there should be a law."
Adult Language:
Adult language is mild in Urinetown (there is some use of "damned" and "damn it"), but there is a lot of bathroom humor. Ms. Pennywise, who manages Public Amenity #9, sings, "The Good Lord made us so we'd piss each day / Until we piss away."
Cladwell, the owner of Urine Good Company, observes to his staff: "I made flushing mean flush at the bank/I'm the man with the plan/So who should you thank?"
Sexual References:
A character is unable to wait and begins peeing in public, objecting, "This is no way to live!" (There is no nudity.) The police arrive to arrest him for breaking the Public Health Act, an exiling offense.
Senator Fipp, a corrupt politician being bribed by UGC, meets Hope, the young daughter of Cladwell; innocent and idealistic, she has just finished school. The senator attempts to flirt with her, and is quickly dismissed by Cladwell.
Officer Lockstock, a crooked cop, also attempts to flirt with Hope. He says her father failed to mention "the size and purity of your beauty" and kisses Hope's hand. "Does beauty have a size, Officer?" Hope asks.
When it looks as if the rebel poor will kill Hope, a character confesses to being her (unwed) mother.
A character is dragged off by the police for deportation to Urinetown when he is unable to pay for access to a public facility.
When asked what Urinetown is like, Officer Lockstock demurs: "Its power depends on mystery. I can't just blurt it out, like 'There is no Urinetown! We just kill people!' Oh, no. The information must be oozed out slowly until it bursts forth in one mighty cathartic moment. Somewhere in Act Two."
Bobby Strong, who becomes the leader of the Rebel Poor, believes that "Urinetown's a lie/A means to keep the poor in check/Until the day they die."
Little Sally, on the other hand, believes Urinetown is "here/It's the town wherever/ People learn to live in fear."
Eventually, the poor people at Public Facility #9 refuse to pay, rescind the Public Health Act and the Water Preservation Act and begin "peeing for free."
They revolt and seize the company head's daughter (Hope) as a hostage.
They threaten to string her up in the song, "Snuff That Girl." (Bobby arrives to object: "This has got to be about more than revenge and stringing up someone who can't defend herself.")
A character is arrested and fights with her captors as they attempt to deliver her to Urinetown; she escapes. Another character is taken to "Urinetown," which turns out to be the roof of the UGC, where he is to be thrown off.
One of the policemen is killed in an attack by the Rebel Poor.
Important Themes:
As the chorus of the Poor sings, "Rich folks get the good life / Poor folks get the woe; / In the end it's nothing you don't know." The poor beg for pennies for a pee; Ms. Pennywise, who guards the door and collects the money, informs them, "No one's getting' anywhere for free! Don't you think I have bills of my own to pay?! Don't you think I have taxes and tariffs and payoffs to meet too?" She tells them, "It's a privilege to pee / Water's worth its weight in gold these days."
Meanwhile Senator Fipp is waiting for the "dough" he will get from the hike in facility fees (if the vote passes) so he can escape on a "fact-finding" mission to Rio. He is worried that it's a "powder keg" out there because of possible public reaction. Hope, assured that this is all for the general welfare, innocently remarks, "Gosh, I never realized large monopolizing corporations could be such a force for good in the world!"
Bobby, as he leads the Rebel Poor, declares he made himself "A promise that from this day on, no one man would be denied his essential humanity because of the condition of his pocketbook. That no man in need would be ignored by another with the means to help him. Here and now, from this day forward, because of you, and you, and you, we will look into the faces of our fellow man and see not only a brother, but a sister as well." (The idealism of the rebels and even the innocent Hope is eventually undercut, however, because it turns out they have no solution for the water shortage.)

A Special Evening with T. GRAHAM BROWN
September 12, 2019 - BOISE, IDAHO
Support: With Andy Byron
Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm
T. Graham Brown : www.tgrahambrown.com
Come spend an evening with #1 HIT COUNTRY/SOUL/GOSPEL SINGER, SONGWRITER, GRAMMY NOMINATED & CMA AWARD WINNER, T. GRAHAM BROWN.
It was one of the most vibrant and exciting time periods in Country Music history...the mid-1980s. A new and exciting crop of talents were springing up all over the place.
Browns initial entry to Country Radio was the sad and soulful "Drowning In Memories". That Top-40 single helped him to establish himself, and by the winter of 1986, he had warmed up to audiences with the bluesy hit "I TELL IT LIKE IT USED TO BE". Other hits quickly followed, with his first self-penned release, "HELL & HIGH WATER", which became his first #1 song. "I WISH THAT I COULD HURT THAT WAY AGAIN" and "DON'T GO TO STRANGERS" were the next releases, which all became chart-toppers.
As the 80's progressed into the next decade, Brown continued to flex his artistic muscle. A well-received concert album enabled him a chance to pay homage to his early influences, like the incomparable Otis Redding, and his hero George Jones, who he teamed up with on several projects including the CMA Award-winning Vocal Event of the Year release, "I DON'T NEED YOUR ROCKIN' CHAIR".
It's been 35 YEARS OF HITS for T. GRAHAM BROWN, a career that has put him on the Grand Ole Opry stage over 100 times. He's collaborated with THE BEACH BOYS, GEORGE JONES, VINCE GILL, TANYA TUCKER, THE OAK RIDGE BOYS, MICHAEL MCDONALD and...LEON RUSSELL among many others. He'll tell you with a grin, "I've got a band and a bus, and Ill keep taking the music to the people as long as God lets me. It's what I love to do!"

About Revida labs
In 2010, our family began a journey of health and hope in search of a safe and effective treatment for a young loved one's medical conditions. During this pursuit, we found both improved health and undeniable hope in the significant and wide ranging options of CBD oil. We struggled to find consistent information, full understanding, and reasonable access to the products he needed. We struggled with dosing questions and lack of medical insight into CBD products. We experienced uncertainty of product efficacy and purity. We wondered time and time again if the path we were on was the right one. After navigating the maze and wanting to do more than just guide our own loved ones, we founded Revida Labs. Our mission is to put the purest CBD oil into the hands of families that need it. We have the utmost confidence in the safety, purity, and efficacy of the products we offer and look forward to adding your story of health and hope to ours.
Our Products
Why Cannabidiol (CBD)?
CBD is one of over 400 naturally occurring compounds found within the Hemp plant. CBD is not only non-psychoactive, but also the most prevalent cannabinoid derived from the hemp plant. It has displayed a wide range of protective qualities, and in working with other cannabinoids has the ability to regulate communication between the cells in our immune system, central nervous system, and endocannabinoid system.
Why Full Spectrum?
Our oils are full spectrum extracts, which means they contain a broad range of cannabinoids that have been balanced for optimal efficacy. Research suggests that when these compounds are supported together, their individual therapeutic benefits are magnified, creating what is known as the "entourage effect." The entourage effect supports the idea that whole plant formulas are most effective in harnessing the neuroprotective and antioxidant benefits that extractions from the hemp plant offer.

Susan Rubin, Animation: The Art and the Industry
The book is similar to Kit Laybourne's "Animation Book" from around the same time. It walks through techniques and process in a cursory manner.
Two things set it apart.
First, it's illustrated by the great Joey Ahlbum who must have still been at SVA.
Second, the last chapters are devoted to interviews with animation artists and producers. Some were up and comers -"assistant animator/former in-betweer" J. J. Sedelmaier, "animator" Candy Kugel, "airbrush artist/illustrator" Mark Kaplan. Others were veterans whose names are seldom mentioned today -producer Harold Friedman, director Stan Smith, cameraman John Rowholt.

We ought to know the very difference between the subject and the object to run the affairs of the world. According to philosophy, subject means the knowing one, and the object means the thing known, the experiencer and the thing experienced. Thus in ordinary language the word subject means the understanding or the intellect, but through deeper enquiry we find that the intellect also is an object. Anything which can be perceived becomes an object and we can perceive the intellect; we can think and reason about intellect and lay down the laws of the intellect, in so far as we reason about the intellect and conceive the intellect, in so far is the intellect an object and not a subject. The real subject CANNOT be perceived and conceived. How can the knower be known? The real subject or the real knower is the Infinity and is one and the same in all the bodies. The Infinity shining in the intellect or in the understanding is the practical subject.
We see all sorts of objects; they seem to be real, and there seems to be no end to them, just as in a dream there is no end to time, space or causation whether on this side or the other.
The world is mind precipitated and the volatile essence is forever escaping again in to the state of free thought.
Mere thought in the dreamland divides itself in to external objects on the one hand and internal emotions, desires and so forth on the other. Moreover, the internal thought in that state seems to be in one's control, changeable and comparatively unreal; whereas the external objects (as in nightmare) appear to possess comparatively uncontrollable, stable reality of their own.
Now as a matter of fact, from the point of view of man in the waking state, both the real and unreal, the external and the internal aspects of a dream, are but idea, pure and simple, and they are besides one's own idea, they are one's own creation. Again, in the waking state, people distinguish between what they call stern constant external objects and the unreal internal thoughts. But to the Man of realization the hard objects, no less than the variable thoughts in the long run, become non-entity like a dream, and so long as their appearance lasts, they affect Him as His own; even though they cannot be altered at will, yet they are His own ideas.

Carl Fletcher praised the way his Leyton Orient side dug in to get a 1-1 draw against Carlisle United following long trips in their previous two games.
Orient had faced long journeys to both Grimsby Town and Plymouth Argyle in their previous two matches but started as if it was no problem at all when Josh Wright's penalty put them ahead.
They had plenty of chances to kill the game in the first half but ended up going on to draw after Jack Iredale's leveller, a vastly improved display from Carlisle in the second half and an increase of fatigue across the O's side.
Speaking after the game, Fletcher said: "I knew going into today with the tough week we've had, with the travel and the games we've played, there was going to be a time when we'd hit a level in terms of fatigue and tiredness.
"The lads were great. They dug in today. In the first half I thought we were really good and really on the front foot. There was some good attacking play and we could potentially have been a couple of goals up, but that's football and in those periods we have to grind through.
"I think we got a little more control later in the half, but I knew today there was always going to be a time when the fatigue would set it. The graft and the hunger from the guys to work hard was brilliant."
Orient could have easily been home and dry by half time had they not been guilty of wastefulness in front of goal. However, Carlisle also put up a good fight in terms of their defending, and Fletcher felt that the narrow scoreline at the break was more down to the visitors than his side, as well as the switch in the balance of play after half-time.
He said: "Maybe [we could have tested the goalkeeper more], but there's things to work on. Obviously there's an opposition out there that are stopping you but it was pleasing to see some of the little things that we've been working on in the short space of time.
"Every game, every area you play, you're not going to have 90 per cent possession so you've got to accept that there's opposition. There's always things to improve on. There's things that we want and things that will come in gradually and things we want to try and change as quickly as possible. The fact that the lads took it on board is a credit to them.
"It's looking good going forward. We've got a clear week next week and we're looking forward to it."
The game was Fletcher's first at the Breyer Group Stadium as the new head coach having also overseen the loss to Plymouth and been in the stands at Grimsby.
Those recent result have left Orient among the mid-table pile, but the boss has not set any targets yet of where he would like to finish come the end of the season
He said: "We're just going day by day at the minute. We're looking to improve on a daily basis, looking to get good performances every game we play. Obviously we want to win as many as we can but you can't control that, so if we can control how we work as units and as a team, then the results take care of themselves."

Although Observers were genetically programmed to be male, occasionally a few females occurred. Their ability to see all timelines and anticipate future events before they happened — combined with their total lack of emotion — made them fantastic secretaries, receptionists and personal assistants.
I dunno, am I the only one who noticed all those Robert Palmer girls in little black dresses cast as the Massive Dynamic secretaries over the years? It just bolsters my theory that none other than William Bell was behind the creation of the Observers. They were right under our noses all the time.

I didn't make my bed this morning
because I couldn't. Because your shape
was on my sheets, my pillows smelled
like aftershave and I wasnt sure when
I'll behold you again.
I didn't make my bed this morning
so that I would be able to sleep
next to you tonight,
even though I'm not
next to you at all.

I am excited to be speaking and teaching at UC Berkeley's conference dedicated to successfully implementing mindfulness into workplaces. Imagine, a conference specifically on this subject! Please help me spread the word about this or join me at this conference in California 🙂
Mindfulness & Well-Being at Work conference, Nov 2015
The description:
Join Wendy Quan of Pacific Blue Cross – along with other top scientists, workplace leaders, and mindfulness teachers as they share practical strategies to help transform your work experience and your workplace. This two-day event will cover the state-of-the-art mindfulness at work information and offer in-depth, hands-on workshops. Group rates, sponsorship opportunities, and other discounts available.
Wendy Quan's train-the-facilitator workshop will equip participants with the tools to set up and run ongoing meditation and mindfulness sessions in their workplace.
I'll be in superb company as the line-up of Mindfulness and Well-Being conference speakers is impressive.
When UC Berkeley called to invite me to speak, what struck me is that this is being put on by their Greater Good Science Center. This center is part of UC Berkeley, put together for making lives more meaningful! My website's name was 'Meaningful Western Life' before it turned into 'The Calm Monkey' – so the alignment of values here was completely perfect! They also take the research produced by UC Berkeley and translate it into meaningful purposes for people, communities and families.
This will be another highlight of my life and I am extremely grateful to be speaking and teaching at this conference.
This opportunity came about because of my white paper selected as the top winning paper by the Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP) for their 2015 global conference: Meditation – A Powerful Change Management Tool 2015, W Quan.
With much gratitude, I wish you a wonderful day.

North Korea test-fired a new tactical guided weapon, the country's state-run media outlet announced Thursday (local time), the latest sign of a tactical chill in the love-a-thon President Trump has been touting between the two leaders. Specifics on the exact type of weapon and the nature of the launch remain unclear, but the Washington Post reports that experts believe the early descriptions of the test make it unlikely it was a ballistic missile, which would be an explicit violation of Pyongyang's self-declared moratorium on testing, and a substantial setback to whatever peace plan President Trump hopes to muster.
North Korean state media said Kim Jong-un himself oversaw the launch, which he described as "an event of very weighty significance." The recent breakdown of denuclearization talks and Kim's direct involvement in the test heaped strategic symbolism on the event. Experts were cautious to read too far into North Korea's intentions, but believed the test to be a show of growing military strength as form of negotiating tactic, without crossing the self-imposed ballistic missile red line.
In a speech last week, Kim showed frustration with the tenor of recent peace talks with the U.S. and while he said he was prepared to participate in a third summit with Trump, he cautioned he would do so only if the U.S. changed its approach. Pyongyang's latest launch is its first public test since February talks in Hanoi broke down. While it is surely a negotiating tactic aimed at focusing the mind in Washington, the escalation threatens one of President Trump's favorite talking points—progress, real or imagined, with North Korea. In fact, Trump's political reliance on the North Korea détente has grown such that it could diminish his hand at the negotiating table as the personal price of walking away increases.
Is Trump already in too deep? Just earlier this week, days before the test, Trump was touting his relationship with Kim and progress with North Korea as kind of a big deal:
Maybe let's pump the brakes on the Nobel Peace Prize daydreams, look a little less personally needy, and hold our cards a bit closer to our chest.

Guidelines in Finding a Good General Contractor
If you have a construction project, you should make sure to go for the best general contractor there is. The good thing with the contractors is that they ensure that the construction projects are taking place effectively. They help with the supervision of the workers and also make sure that the materials for the construction have been delivered in good time. They also make sure that there tools to be used during construction. Since they play significant roles, one should then make sure to settle for the best. To get the best, one should then be keen in selecting, and that is why one should use some guidelines when they are choosing.
The first thing that one should always do is make a list of all the general contractors they have learned about. To come up with the list of contractors, one should get recommendations. The best place to get recommendations is from friend and relatives. Apart from that, one can go ahead and get help from other experts who handle construction work. The other places that one can get recommendations from are in the building supplying stores. Since they sell construction materials, …

First of all, I love stop-motion animation and I also love it when kid-centric films do not insult children. Treat them with respect–speak clear and they will understand and hear your message. ParaNorman does that successfully. It is an original take on accepting and loving yourself and they even throw in the affects of bullying. Nicely done.
This is the second feature released by Laika Animation (the first being the 2009 Coraline–which is one of my favorites). And again, they stay in the adventure/horror genre. This time though they turn it on its ear. Things are not quite what they seem in Norman's universe and they have fun exploring all the clichés ("Not all witches have to be ugly? Of course, they are…they're meant to sell key chains.").
The film was written and co-directed by Chris Butler (first feature) and the experienced animator director Sam Fell. Together they do an excellent job of building the characters around this unique premise. As a zombie/horror fan, I appreciated all the cool nudges to the classics. It is at once touching, poignant and funny. The skill and patience that it takes to create this medium is incredible. The result is nothing short of amazing.
The voice talent is perfect and surprising. I could easily make out John Goodman, but Casey Affleck, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Anna Kendrick were unrecognizable–so cool. Kodi Smith-McPhee (Let Me In) as Norman and Tucker Albrizzi as Neil are both wonderful (and kind of look like their 10 inch figures).
Overall, this is a great story, cleverly done. It may a bit too scary or gory for young kids (depending on their exposure) and although it does not reach Nightmare Before Christmas iconic status and it's not even as perfectly crafted as Coraline, it is still a cool addition to the genre that I am sure will continue to grow in cult status. I foresee Halloween viewing in my future. 😀

Despite all of the delays, 2009 turned out to be a great year for video games. With the recent rush of AAA titles like Borderlands, Modern Warfare 2, and Assassin's Creed 2, it's easy to forget earlier game of the year contenders like Batman: Arkham Asylum and Resident Evil 5. But what about the games that never got their moment in the spotlight?

The Arab states did not disappoint the Israeli entity for one day. Since the occupation of Palestine today, it can be said boldly that the most important protector of this tyrannical entity was Arab collusion and weakness. It is not only the unlimited support of the United States and the West that has secured the right environment for the advancement and establishment of an entity that has at some point been branded the mythical entity. The performance of the Arab countries and some of the symbols of Islamic countries has ensured the rise of the entity to become an invincible force.
Today, about seven decades after the establishment of this entity, it appears that the articular phase of the relationship (controversial) between this entity and the Arab countries, especially the Gulf countries, led by Saudi Arabia. This is what we will try to highlight through some of the indicators that began to appear and clear day after day and in an accelerated and dramatic.
Of course, relations and channels of communication are not new, but it can be said that during the past two decades there have been many indicators confirm the existence of direct contact between the entity and countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Bahrain. For example, the UAE has allowed the opening of an entity's commercial office in Abu Dhabi for years, and the relations have been sported by allowing Israeli sports teams to participate in competitions in Dubai. All this is only the tip of the iceberg of relations revealed by Abu Dhabi's ambassador to Washington Yusuf Al Otaiba.
Saudi Arabia, the leaks about the secret trips of Saudi princes and merchants to Tel Aviv are full of international press. Of course, relations remain less than the relations of the UAE, but after the visit of the US President to Saudi Arabia and the message he carried from Salman to Netanyahu realize that the process of public normalization has been launched as a blind eye Uncle Sam. Indeed, the Israeli side has met with Netanyahu to talk about the common threats that unite the entity with Saudi Arabia, especially the Iranian threat.
Netanyahu also spoke of unprecedented relations between his entity and some Arab countries. States described by reports of the Israeli Foreign Ministry to the Sunni Arab countries "in which we have the strongest ties ever", according to Israeli sources.
In the wake of the crisis that began between Qatar and the countries of the blockade, the Israeli did not hesitate to take clear steps to confirm that it stands side by side. (Of course, here we cannot forget that Qatar has its own channels in the entity). But it seems that Israel has openly and clearly preferred to stand by Saudi Arabia and the UAE and take action and stand against Qatar. The decision to prevent Al-Jazeera from broadcasting from within the occupied Palestinian territories is only a step towards strengthening cooperation with Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
If they are certain and documented relations speak for themselves, which is different today is that the Israeli entity and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu no longer interested in maintaining the confidentiality of these relations and open channels. And the reason that these countries reached the stage of public normalization and create a popular atmosphere to accept this. The most important example is the statements by some Saudi officials and the media campaign on the social media that promote bilateral relations with the entity against influence and the common enemy (ie, Iran).
Today, after the attack launched by the Israeli political circles on Qatar besieged by Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, it is confirmed that there is a great symmetry between the two parties began to appear to the public in a deliberate and systematic to warn of the next phase of cooperation and public normalization without any caveats or considerations. Of course, it is good to refer to the demands of Saudi Arabia and the UAE from Qatar to stop the siege and boycott. If we examine these demands, we will find that most of them are demands on Israel. The fact that the Palestinian factions are being harassed and expelled from Doha or cut off relations with Iran is the most important enemy of Israel in the Islamic world.
The goal is to strengthen the environment that helps the entity continue its violations of Palestinian rights and establish its state. The oppressors, whose existence is threatened by popular resistance, put Palestine and al-Aqsa in the forefront of their goals.

BLog Post#1
I have decided to do this year's Genius Hour project on writing good restaurant reviews. One of my favorite things about Austin is that there are so many amazing restaurants to try, but I find that I always go back to my favorites instead of trying new things. This project will allow me to get out and explore the city that I've been living in for the past four years. This particular topic is important to me because I have always been interested in the food industry, and it will let me go out and try new things with my husband, Alex. My goal for this project is to learn how to write reviews like a professional because I always thought that would be really cool job to have. I will measure my goals by writing weekly reviews and comparing them to professional reviews so that I can revise and edit my writing. I will post the reviews here for others to read every week. Happy eating!
BLog Post #2
This week, I have learned about what a restaurant review is and what someone writing a review should focus on. For example, the article I read said that you should not blow off the restaurant with a bad review if just one person was mean to you or one little thing went wrong. It is important to be honest about the food and the atmosphere and to give credit where credit is due. I learned that I don't focus a lot when I am eating! This weekend I went to a restaurant called Picnic, and the food that I ate was delicious! However, I don't remember everything about the food I ate so it will be hard to write a review. In the future I will have to take notes with me so that I can write down my thoughts and descriptions of the foods. For my research, I used an online article that I found about how to write professional food reviews. It was a good article, but I still need some more information. From here, I need to make a list of the restaurants I want to visit and do a little research on them to see what I can find out before I write my review. Happy Eating!
Restaurant 1: Picnik Austin, Texas
I am still on the Whole 30 (Day 24!!), so I ate from their special diet menu. I had breakfast hash and fried Brussels sprouts. I am still deciding if I want to write a review of this restaurant. Update: I decided to do a test review as a baseline. I will compare my work to this review to see how I have improved.
Blog Post #3
I am a week behind! :( This week, I found a website (Wikihow...lame, I know) that explained the steps of writing a restaurant review. I realized that I made a lot of mistakes in my first review. For example, I described food as "good" and "bad" instead of really describing how it tasted. I realized that I needed to be more specific in my descriptions of the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant. This week, I was in San Antonio visiting a friend of mine. We went to a restaurant called Zinc Wine Bar because it was open late and my friend had to work until 10. I forgot to write down my experiences and thoughts as I was eating, but I am going to go back and make some notes before I work on my next review. I have included some pictures of my friend working (she is so glamorous! :)) and some pictures of the restaurant where we ate. From here, I need to read my first review to figure out how to improve, and then write my second review and publish it here on my spark page. One thing that I want to know about is how to get reviews published. I'm not really interested in doing that myself because I will not have time, but I have thought about it several times and I am curious. Happy Eating!
