Embry-Riddle Librarian Spends 43 Years Helping Students Succeed
Jack R. Hunt Library Director Kathleen Citro was just 24 when she started working in the library at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University's Daytona Beach Campus 43 years ago.
The Internet didn't exist. Students used electronic and manual typewriters and would find books for various research projects through the old paper card catalogs, stored within long drawers in huge wooden shelves. If they needed a particular article in a magazine or scholarly journal, they sifted through the pages of the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature.
It's a sharp contrast to the state-of-the-art library in the newly opened Mori Hosseini Student Union, a project Citro has been working on even before the old library was torn down three years ago. Inside the new library's two, light–filled floors in the Student Union, group study pods with large monitors and movable white boards allow students to work collaboratively. Data and charging ports abound, quiet team workspaces, modular furniture, more than 90 computer workstations and even individual wrap–around private cubicles with footrests are scattered throughout the futuristic learning space.
As Citro nears her retirement, she looks back on the joys of helping students and the kind gestures they have shown library staff over the years, from trays of oysters and tea from Saudi Arabia to the numerous appreciation emails for assistance with research papers.
"Any time you interact with a student, you are in a teachable moment," said Citro, who has sometimes taught generations of the same family. "The whole process of digging and finding information is teaching students critical thinking and life-long learning skills."
The original library at the Daytona Beach campus was just a couple of classrooms and well under 2,000 undergraduate students on campus when Citro started in 1975 as a reference technician. Today, there are close to 6,000 undergraduate and 629 graduate students.
Citro has worked under six presidents and three interim presidents, including Embry-Riddle's first president, Jack R. Hunt, for whom the library was named in 1985. She is also one of an elite group of only five employees at Embry-Riddle with 43-plus years.
"The opportunity to continue learning is inherent in any librarian's life, here even more so because we have to learn the subject matter and the technology behind it," said Citro, who has a Master of Education degree and Specialist of Education degree. "When a student wants to know about a magneto (engine driven electrical generator), we need to know what it is and how to find that information."
She also helped combine residential and distance learning reference library services as Embry-Riddle became one of the first schools in the nation to launch distance learning classes with its Worldwide Campus in the late 1970s.
Because of her innovative approaches and lifelong dedication to the library sciences, she recently received the Northeast Florida Library Information Network Distinguished Career Award. Colleagues who nominated Citro describe her as an "unsung hero in the greater library world and daily hero in the Hunt Library" for her profound impact on Embry-Riddle students in their future careers.
"It is hard to imagine a Hunt Library without Kathleen's guiding hand," said Anne Marie Casey, Ph.D., dean of Scholarly Communication, who will succeed Citro as Library Director. "She has been a voice for student support from the days of the small library where she started, to the magnificent new space she was instrumental in shaping."

Hi, I'm Jordan. I work as a software engineer specializing in Javascript. I'm experienced with many popular front-end frameworks, including Angular and Angular 2+, Vue, and especially React. I pride myself on delivering clean, consistent code as well as being an excellent communicator.
Currently, I work at Hayneedle as a Front-End Engineer. Having completed several major projects, I recently spearheaded the development of the site navigation redesign effort using Angular 2. Currently I'm working on porting a combination of our result list and product page to a React/Redux-based web application. In the past, I've updated internal business tools which handle and configure pricing, I've built and maitained the application tool that external businesses use to apply to Hayneedle's trade program. Additionally, I've converted the site header to an updated framework in order to increase performance.
In my free time, I write science-fiction (think a wannabe Douglas Adams, Kurt Vonnegut with a dash of some obscure reference intended to make me look cool). I also spend my time trying to learn new things - the harmonica, ballroom dancing, and yes, maybe even comedy improv (we'll see).

There are many ideas on the best place to write content for your business. Producing high quality content can transform the way you are seen online. Content is powerful. You will rise up the Google searches in terms of SEO as well as find a greater connection with those that read what you have to say. And if you want these benefits then you must find the best place to sit and write. Whether it feels good or feels like a chore, the writing you do for your business is essential. Here is a guide to some of the choices in search of the best place to write content for your business –
In search of the ideal place to write content you could make time in the office to produce. This would usually mean making time in the day to enable this. Your office is a space that you know better than anyone else. You should ask yourself a few questions –
One of the dangers of writing ion your normal work space is that you don't get it done. You get side-tracked by all of the things that normally happen in the office. The best content is written quickly, so a place free of distractions works well.
There is something to be said about walking away from your place of work to sit in a coffee shop and writing. Sure, there are a number of distractions but these are not work distractions on the whole. If you are interrupted by the phone, then stick it on silent for half an hour and sit down to write. You don't have to write reams of words for the content your business needs, so write a few hundred quality words an d then click the 'publish' button.
You can find a coffee shop near you and this might be the best place to write content for your business. You can get away from work for a short while and tap into your creative side. Give it a go!
When thinking about the best place to write content for your business, home might not appear at the top of your list. We work hard enough as it is. We bring enough work home. We really don't want to being any more, especially if it causes stress. Even so, there is something to be said about writing a few words at home before or after the work day.
Content is valuable to your business and deserves some attention. If this only comes from writing at home then this could be a worthwhile way to spend half an hour a week. That's really all you need if you are going to publish a weekly blog. Restrict it to that half an hour and no more. That way you know it won't eat into your work life balance.
So, the question remains – where is the best place to write content ? The truth of the matter is that the best place is one that suits you. If you have tried one of the above and found It wasn't perfect, then try another. The time of day is another factor in your productivity. I find that early in the morning is the best time or me. But that might not work for you.
If you want to talk about your content then pick up the phone on 07789 238 202 or contact us. We love to talk about content marketing and could help you to find that perfect place to write your content.

C.E.O. Business (Conquering Every Opportunity) is the brainchild of performer and writer Mike Davis Jr. and his single "Livin' Life" represents a vivid embodiment of both his talents and over-arching ambitions. Inspired by the example of musician as mogul, ala Jay Z or Dr. Dre, Davis has longed aspired towards achieving a position of fame with his music that puts him in place to contribute more than just good times and entertainment to his community. He wants his music and artistic imagination, however, to provide a fully immersive experience for listeners and "Livin' Life" certainly qualifies.
The song's message of meeting each new day with a fierce and uncompromising spirit, clinging to your identity in a world that seeks to strip it away, Davis, under the moniker C.E.O. Business, accomplishes that with forcefulness and true command over his chosen musical path. It makes for invigorating and entertaining listening both for casual fans of the style and devotees.
He's obviously studied his chosen craft. You won't be able to pick one overwhelming musical influence out of the mix on "Livin' Life", but Davis brings a number of classic strains in the form together with his own distinctive spin on the sound and it has immediacy and musicality that's impossible to ignore. The thick bass and percussion sound of the song is electronically generated, but never sounds hollow and has the steady reliability and swing that stand as hallmarks of a memorable groove. His decision to go after a groove oriented approach on this song helps makes his message all the easier to get through to listeners and he flashes some real charisma, albeit understated, in his delivery of the lyric. C.E.O. Business could likely come off as heavy handed to some listeners considering Davis' intentions as an artist and performer, but he has a real talent for connecting with listeners through both his performance style and content.
He has good instincts for keeping his writing well in service to the song rather than weighing the track down with any excess verbiage. The proof of that comes with all easily he twists and turns the phrases in rhythmic fashion to further the musical aims of "Livin' Life", but listeners should commend him as well for presenting himself in such relatable and vivid terms. We get a sense of what he's all about after hearing this song alone and anyone who chooses to follow his work from this point will know what to expect when they hear new songs from C.E.O. Business. He goes in for just enough of the familiar poses to make listeners feel comfortable, but there's a real individuality surrounding this song that is cut from an entirely different cloth than other performers and it's shocking, to a degree, from one so young. "Livin' Life" will finish 2017 as one of the most memorable single releases from any hip hop talent this year and sets the stage for his work to come.

I don't know why, but when I look at it, I feel bad for the moose, lol. It just makes me think of an older moose at the end of his life, so Trails End is what comes to mind. The chickadee is watching him as he makes his journey into the mountains.

I've been feeling a bit meh for the past few days. I will tell you about my concerns about life in due course, but in the meantime, here are a couple of football related points to occupy some blog space (which of course is just an excuse to include a sexy footballer picture):
Michael Owen was such a bargain for Newcastle. It only worked out at £1.37m per goal.
The wee Scot Gordon Strachan has had some classic interview lines:
Reporter: So, Gordon, in what areas do you think Middlesbrough were better than you today? Strachan: What areas? Mainly that big green one out there...
A quote from Gazza: "I never make predictions, and I never will."
And when I am feeling a bit under par, Torres comes to the rescue. Need a hand there 'Nando?

#hopeforall • #mosaix19
The Apostle Paul devoted his life not only to declaring the Gospel but to demonstrating the hope of the Gospel; that is, not only to championing eternal life for "everyone who believes" (Rom 1:16) but to establishing local churches in which men, women and children from varying ethnic, economic and cultural backgrounds could walk, work, and worship God together as one (Gal 3:28; Eph 2:11-4:6) on earth as it is in heaven (Rev 7:9). With this in mind Paul declared before the Sanhedrin, "I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead." (Acts 23:6) Having himself received mercy, Paul was determined to see the local church extend mercy to all people without distinction. Having been brought near to the living God, he was determined to see the local church draw diverse others near to Him, as well. Having been called of God, he was determined to see the church fulfill its collective calling. To this mission and vision, Paul devoted his life; and in so doing, devoted himself to establishing local churches in which believers not only expressed their love for God, but for one another and for their biblical neighbors; namely, those from demographic groups different than their own. To this Gospel-centric Pauline mission, pastors and local churches today must again devote themselves; that is, to declaring in action beyond sentiment Hope for All.

Our concept "Digital analytics for Repeat strategy"
Hi, my name is Haruyo. We are a web developing company which plans, develops, and runs online shopping websites for our clients.
There are 2 options to open online shopping sites in Japan. One is using the online shopping mall and the other one is developing websites on your own, it's called "Original domain shop". I prefer to develop businesses for original domain shops.
The advantage of doing online shop business in an original shop is that we are able to develop a unique business model. Sales power is important in shopping malls and on the other hand, a competitive business model is required in an original shop.
It's not easy to develop a stable online shopping business in an original shop. However, it's exciting because we can create an original business foundation to develop a long-lasting business.
So, what is the business foundation? I believe it's a customer base. The more customer base we grow, the more profit we take.
Recently, I think that the states of a lot of online shopping businesses are jeopardy, in particular, small-medium sized original domain shops.
There are a number of reasons. Increasing competition, shifting needs from buying products to taking services, decreasing income of young people and so on. One more is our reality, we've not carried out repeat strategy seriously that develops repeat customers.
The current business situation is forcing original domain shops to create strong businesses with relationships with customers or to close it and focus on competing in shopping malls instead with only its sales power.
It's time to see existing customers in order to retain and expand original domain shops' businesses. So, we started this blog. Our theme that we'd like to develop is "Digital analytics for Repeat strategy".
Why are many online shopping businesses not implementing Repeat strategy seriously?
I think there are two reasons.
- Segmenting existing customers is difficult.
- Measuring the results of developing repeat customers is difficult.
Segmenting existing customers is difficult.
The technology of segmenting prospective customers of the internet ads has been developing rapidly while few companies are trying to segment existing customers except for big companies.
The difficulty is caused by the following:
- We don't have a clear policy to follow when considering segmenting existing customers.
- When we try to segment existing customers, it takes a lot of time.
Since we don't have ways of segmenting and visualizing existing customers, we can't imagine their characteristics when we consider repeat strategy.
Considering "Who are targets?" is the starting line for all marketing activities, so we can't start repeat strategy without figuring out the ways on how to segment existing customers.
That's why it will lead the situation like, we send the same e-mail magazine to all existing customers without segmenting.
Measuring the results of developing repeat customers is difficult.
When we are asked "Are you interested in implementing repeat strategy?", we will say "We did".
We know, we should send the e-mails to support customers at least 3 times within 21 days after they purchased the product. Or, it's good to send the package along with a handwritten letter showing our appreciation. Sending e-mail magazines and postcards, or posting articles on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Line@ is also very effective.
There are so many things to do for developing repeat customers but we don't have ways to measure whether it was effective or not. Many companies only have the number of total sales to know it.
That's why it will lead the situation like, we are tired implementing repeat strategy because the things we should do are increasing gradually. We don't know which kinds of ways are more effective.
The difficulty is caused by the following:
- Since we don't have ways of segmenting existing customers, this means we also don't have ways of measuring the results for repeat strategy.
- Repeating methods basically include analog tools, this means it's difficult to measure the results.
Why Digital Analytics?
We are trying to generate the methods for segmenting existing customers and measuring the result of repeat strategy with digital analytics.
What are the things we'd like to know when carrying out repeat strategy? That is whether the number of loyal customers is increasing and whether other existing customers are going through to loyal customers.
The processes to know are the following:
1. Segment existing customers.
2. Identify specific problems and carry out marketing activities to solve them.
3. Get feedback. We want to know whether the loyal customers increase and other ranked customers grow up.
The first thing that we should do is finding out the ways of doing no.1 easily. In addition, we'd like to suggest some perspective of segmenting existing customers.
Google Analytics is one of the famous tools for digital analytics and it has various newly updated functions. For example, when a person tries to access the web page using his PC and smartphone, Google Analytics can recognize it as 1 user instead of 2 sessions.
We will be able to measure the result with digital analytics even though there are a lot of marketing activities for repeat strategy which includes using analog tools. Also, digital analytics lets us visualize the result automatically.
Our goals are:
- Developing knowledge to segment and visualize existing customers using digital analytics.
- Developing knowledge to measure the results of repeat strategies using digital analytics.
- Providing the methods in a way that can be adapted easily for SMEs online shopping businesses.
Note : 2 types of repeat customers.
There are 2 types of "Repeat" in shops, "product repeat" and "shop repeat". People will buy the same products from the same shop because they need it. It is called "product repeat". For example, since I have cats, I buy their food from the same online shop repeatedly. The reason is that I just prefer the food even if I don't remember the shop name. It's due to the positive image of the food product.
The other repeat is that customers prefer to buy the products from the specific shop. Even if other shops sell similar products at a more affordable price, they will continue to use the shop where they feel like to buy from.
They prefer not only the products but also the whole services provided by the shop. It is called "shop repeat".
Users on the internet will see the products first because of the system of the search engines and the ads. When they click the link on the search results or ads, they will access the product information page of the website. Regardless of whether they are satisfied with the product or not, they will not buy it again except for "product repeat".
How should we make them "shop repeater"?
Our repeat strategy has its goal. That is to increase loyal customers to build up profit. Without having "shop repeater", we will not achieve the goal. Shop repeaters are people who engage in your shop concept resulted from your business model.

I don't know if the care home in Sussex in this story actually did initially forbid this individual from leaving, and only backpedaled when the story came out (hard to prove one way or another), but the idea of an 89 year old veteran of D-Day putting on all of his medals and traveling to the 70th anniversary celebrations without telling anyone at the old folks' home sorta tickles me.
Good on you, sir. You are beyond awesome.

wow, someone on the boards said that they don't like howard dean because he supports health care for everyone, even the homeless…
simple question: could you look a homeless person in the face and say 'the wealthiest 1% of americans need a tax cut more than you need health care' if that homeless person was sick and in dire need of medical attention?
personally i'm stunned that we live in an incredibly wealthy country where millions of people are denied basic health care.
i'm not in favor of higher taxes, but i do believe that every man, woman and child in the u.s deserves basic health care.
if we're going to save money let's stop corporate welfare. let's stop subsidizing the oil and nuclear industries. let's stop subsidizing the logging industry. let's stop subsidizing the livestock industry.
doesn't that make more sense than depriving people of health care so that millionaires can pay 2% less in taxes?

The smell of fog juice lingers in the air, filling your lungs. Strobe lights flashing all around as you clutch to the person in front of you for safety. The eerie screams of past victims ring in your ears as the creepy Halloween music blares from an unseen source. We can smell your fear, we know you're coming. We can see you, but can you see us? We camouflage in the dark haze of the mazes, you don't know we're near until it's too late. Are you scared yet? You will be.
Gorey vampires, werewolves, swamp monsters, kill-thrilled clowns, and abused school children are the obvious actors of each room, you pass the horrific scenes thinking that was all there is. Your heart is pounding, and you're waiting for them to attack or do something. They're a distraction, you should not fear them. Fight or flight will kick in the second you sense me.
You're in the dot room now. Circles of bright paint hang on curtains in a tightly enclosed space, you become claustrophobic. With dark makeup on my face and the black ,brightly colored dot costume, you can only see me when I'm inches from you. I have the best view in this haunted house.
Halloween is a time for frights, candy, and costumes. My tradition for the past four years has been volunteering at the Covina Community Center for Girl Scouts helping as a performer who pops out of dark corners and scares the life out of our customers. Personally, I feel the little Dora the Explorers or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shouldn't be scared out of their minds at haunted houses, they just can't handle it.
When groups of small children take their turns walking through ,we leave the lights on and all scarers come out of their hiding spots in order for the little kids to feel safe going through the mazes. Even then, those in costume or those like me in dark masks have to take the masks off to assure the kids they're safe and that we're friendly. This is a hassle, and unfair to the performers who are there to be scary. We shouldn't have to take off our masks, turn on the lights, group together ,and to sing and dance to allow the kids to still have fun. Despite the reassuring of the children, they're still terrified to get on their hands and knees through the "Crawl to Freedom" located at the end of the maze. Or to walk through the streamer-hung hallways. Yet some Girl Scouts are still glued to the ground they stand on and have to be forced through. When us performers gather at the end of the night, we don't just tell the stories of the kids who were utterly terrified, we keep tab of those we're terrified of. In fact, we have a watch-out list, so we remember the dangerous ones.
One step above the little scaredy-cats is the "I'm not scared of you!" kids who ruin the fun for everyone there who came to be scared. They point out all of the performers, and they're the ones that simply harass us. They tend to hit, use words they shouldn't be saying at a Girl Scout event, and get violent trying to prove to their friends their macho and tough enough.
To cope with the total fright, one girl dressed as a Twister game, beat me and other performers with her twister board that she carried around. Another girl that dressed as a tube of lipstick decided to paint the walls and haunters with the lipsticks she brought, as if we didn't have a lot of makeup on to begin with. We had to pause and scrub it off due to the vibrant colors showing under the black lights. But the worst one of all was from this year.
Rule number one, which every patron is told, is do not touch the actors. Yes, there are exceptions, we do realize our job is to scare you and we may accidently be pushed or hit. This year, a young girl who was coming through our maze came in to my room, the last part of the entire maze. Walking in with swagger as the other girls cower around her, the pre-teen yells loudly, "I know you're in here! Come out! YOU DON'T SCARE ME!" My partner and I creep up towards the girls, camouflaged into the dotted walls, and jump out at the girls. All but the one screams. Trying to be comical, we keep trying to scare her, me right in front, and my partner behind her. She looks up at me, says hello, and hits me in the face with the lateral side of the water bottle she carried along with her, hitting me in the eye. I take my mask off and start to argue with the girl and her Girl Scout leader. The leader simply wrote it off as an "accident", when all of us knew she did it on purpose.
Haunted houses aren't for everyone, especially every child. Only those mature enough should be allowed through, so they don't ruin the performers and other customer's fun. We plan for weeks. Money goes into decorating, designing, and painting. And everything for us goes up the day before the event, and taken down after the last customer walks through, a total of two days. We spend hours to dress and go through hair and makeup. With all that trouble and hard work, it's completely unfair that parents leave their immature kids to be babysat by their Girl Scout leaders who can't control them, even when escorted through our maze by two other people. For those who are too scared of the maze, the center has crafts and games outside for them to participate in. Problem solved. No one wants to go if they're trying to get scared, but can't be because the kid in front of them pointed everyone out or is crying. We shouldn't have to pause to clean up lipstick graffiti or getting into arguments with customers. Their should be an age limit, or a maturity limit as to who goes through scary mazes, whether it's at a Girl Scout center or a professional maze such as those of Knott's Scary Farm, it ruins the fun for everyone. And for those like me, who have to go to school the next day with a black eye.

Heading a ranking of this nature reflects accurately what happened here during the real estate boom days a few years ago. It was then when many homeowners and professional and weekend investors got carried away in the charged atmosphere of fast-rising home prices and failed to hold back in time when the market was about to plunge over the edge. Call it bad timing, poor judgment or greed, it doesn't matter which, but it's still hurting equally bad those who were caught in its ugly repercussions.
On per capita basis Nevada leads the national preforeclosure list with a rate of 4.05, followed by Florida at 2.86, Arizona at 2.05 and Colorado at 2.04, according to Foreclosures.com. These figures alone don't tell much, except that who has the most, who is second and so on. Please click on the link in this paragraph to read the entire article.

Currently in Goodyear AZ (Low 84 Partly Sunny High 110)
We left Pinetop-Lakeside Arizona yesterday and headed back to Goodyear. It was about 80 degrees when we hooked up and left. It was a beautiful drive as we went from 7000 feet down to the valley.
As we got closer we were amazed to see the fountain in Fountain Hills from the highway. This fountain goes off every hour for 15 minutes and hits heights of 560 feet. It is impressive up close and from a distance. Here is a shot from the web that approximates what we saw from the road.
By the time we went through a traffic jam caused by a wreck and then normal I-10 traffic it was
It was 108 when we arrived. Bob has had some good backing in success recently but not this time. He just didn't have it, of course when it was 108 he can't do it but when it was 70 it was no problem :-)
At least there wasn't a big crowd gathered around to watch the spectacle. There might have been if it was cooler. By now it was 99 inside the RV and it took a long time to get it comfortable. We are seriously reconsidering another chapter in the 'Escaping the Heat' saga if this is what we have to look forward to. We have an onboard generator and maybe the only way we escape the heat again is if we run the generator while traveling. What are everybody's thoughts on that?
We have a pain center appointment for Jo today so hopefully we will know more about what she will have done and when.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo

There's no question in my mind that I have a slight attention issue. I jump from thing to thing quicker than a fly poops on your skin after it lands. Now, most of the time this is somewhat of a problem. When I introduce myself to someone, by the time they tell me their name I have already started to think about the picture that's hanging on the wall behind them or the fact that I forgot to buy deodorant when I was at the store. I also have been known to walk away in the middle of a conversation because I forgot I was even having a conversation; my mind had already moved on to what jewelry I was going to wear the next day.
However, there are a few times where I am actually pleased as punch that I can't stay focused on one thing. It allows me to get a freakish amount of things accomplished at one time, it has given me a fairly decent sense of humor, and it has resulted in some photographs being taken that I cherish.
Whenever I look at the folder of pictures after I download them from my card, I can't help but laugh. It's like I can read my mind when I look through them. It starts with pictures that make sense like people looking and smiling or the action of an event unfolding. Then, all of a sudden random, odd pictures start showing up and I can tell that I was pinging.
The thing is sometimes those "pinging" pictures tell emotions or capture a moment better than the "sensible" pictures. For instance, this picture is of fruit pizza (you are all saying, "thank you Captain Obvious" right now but I'm ok with that). It's not an earth shaking picture but everytime I look at it I think about last Easter and how Grandma sat and cut all of those grapes in half. Last spring is about the time she started to go down hill and she was having a great day; we were laughing, joking, and enjoying each other's company. She even asked me if I was Japanese that day. I told her no. The fruit pizza making was one of the last times I felt like Grandma was Grandma and I love this picture because it brings that right back to me.
Now this one is definitely not a high quality picture, but it makes me laugh out loud everytime. I snapped it when I was taking Christmas pictures of my best friend's kids. They are two and one and were not having it. Best friend was getting frustrated so I grabbed this stuffed pig from the floor and said, "Hey watch this, here's your Christmas card." Of course the pig sat still and smiled and the goofiness of the moment took just enough of the edge off the kids. It turned out best friend didn't have to use the pig card.
This is from an awesome day of creativity; it brings me right back to drinking a fruit smoothie and painting pottery. It's simply a heart happy picture.
This one seriously takes the cake for being the oddest picture I've ever taken. It's from "Happy Trails." The horse trip to the Badlands that was an amazing time with Mom, Sister Pister, and some friends. We didn't have modern amenities so this was breakfast on the grill. It's not that I absolutely love french toast or bacon, it's that I absolutely love that we lived simply for a weekend.
This is my nephew, or I should say, this is the back of my nephew's head. He really is a little farm boy already who loves to play with anything animal or tractor. And that ear sticking out? I can't even handle it!
Most pictures from Christmas are of people with their gifts or of family spending time together, but this picture reminds me that Christmas is also a time when I need to slow down, take in the moment, and remember the reason.
Another "Happy Trails" snap. The rustic log cabin against the Badlands; well, they go together better than vacuuming and dusting. And that's a serious amount of togetherness.
The Bible in this picture was at a wedding reception I shot. Every woman who has been married in the bride's family since the 1920's has signed their new name in this Bible on their wedding day. I found this out after I had taken the picture. What an awesome keepsake.
These cakes are from my niece and nephew's birthday party. They are proof of how great of a mother my sister-in-law is. I mean seriously...look at those bananas!
My niece just might have some of my pinginess. No, it's more than a just might situation; she does. I love her for it. This was a quiet moment in our playing and being crazy; she was so proud of that little lady bug.
Uffff...I actually get a little ticked looking at these Yahtzee cards. One is mine and one is my uncle's. He thinks he is "The King" of Yahtzee (he also is "The King" of the BS); we had the same score when we both added the first time. I was beyond excited to have tied, but he just couldn't accept it so he re-added and turned out he actually won. Kills me!
Dear Attention Issue,
I don't thank you for making me look like an idiot sometimes, but I do thank you for giving me a different outlook on life. I don't thank you for the "neutral incident" at the car wash (that's a story for another day), but I do thank you for my ability to do a crazy amount of multi-tasking. It's a hate/love relationship I have with you. The above pictures are the love part of the relationship...enjoy them Attention Issue because tomorrow? Well, tomorrow I just might hate you.

Rest is so important that God put it in the Ten Commandments: Every seventh day, you are to rest. If you're not taking a day off every week, you're breaking one of his commandments.

The Experience of A Generation
March 12, 2019
In the United States of America, where there are an estimated over 44 million immigrants making up our population, the likelihood of knowing an immigrant or someone who knows an immigrant is very high. In recent years, immigration has often been brought up in politics, with many calling for stricter laws concerning entering the US legally. While the politics of immigration are important, that is not what I wanted to write about. In my life, I know many who are immigrants, but the ones who stand out the most to me are my own parents.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, first-generation has two meanings. First-generation can be used to refer to a naturalized American or first-generation can also refer to the a U.S. born American with at least one immigrant parent. As someone who has parents who are immigrants, and who both came to the United States from Mexico over 20 years ago, I have always had a feeling of isolation when it comes to relating to peers with American-born parents. Of course, an obvious point would be our cultural differences, but it's more than that. It's not that my peers consciously make me feel this way. Instead, it comes from this internal place which makes me feel as though I have two roles to play. I am an American student who goes to school and speaks English and learns new material every day. But I am also a 15-year-old Mexican daughter that speaks Spanish to her parents.
These roles blend some too. I help my parents out a lot. I don't mean taking out the trash, or setting the table for dinner (which I also do, I just don't have a choice in the matter), but it's helping them read things they get in the mail, set up dentist appointments, write a message for their English-speaking contacts, and things of that sort. These are some personal examples of what it feels like to be a first-generation Mexican-American. I wouldn't trade any of these things for the world, but it also makes me think about how others in similar situations like me feel about being in those positions. In order to find answers, I asked some of my peers who are first-generation Americans what that label means to them.
"Being a first-generation American means I grow up surrounded by a culture different, not necessarily separate, but different than American culture," Feda Elbadri '21 said. "Ultimately, my parents' culture and American culture have an equal way in shaping who I am."
Elbadri is first-generation American; both of her parents are from Sudan. Her parents fled the country whilst it was in political turmoil, leaving due to their stance against the Sudanese government.
"I do accept many cultural values of my parents that I carry with me, that I'll carry with me throughout my entire life, but I also accept American values and information. I kind of blend those values together with my background, with my parents and kind of who I am now growing up in this country that my parents didn't grow up in." Elbadri said.
According to the Migration Policy Institute, as of 2017, there are approximately 18 million children under the age of 17 with one or more parents who are immigrants. That makes up 26 percent of the 70 million children living in the United States. There are issues that many of these children have to face. There is a feeling of wanting to be a child holding fast to traditions that have been passed down for generations, but also wanting to fit into American society to avoid standing out.
This was something that Elbadri had agreed with and another peer of mine, Frida Escorcia '21, had a personal example of.
"I remember when I was little, I used to speak to myself in Spanish at school because I was more comfortable speaking it [instead of English]. Kids in my class would look at me and in a rude tone would ask, 'Why do you speak Spanish?' and I felt conflicted. I couldn't stop speaking Spanish because that's what I speak at home and it's a part of me, but at the same time I don't want to be weird because it wasn't 'normal' to be bilingual at my school and I wanted to fit into this bubble of not being different. I guess this fits with also being bilingual but being bilingual fits into my identity as a first-generation American. It made me feel like [I] had to change apart of my family's identity to fit into my American one." Escorcia said.
It feel like we are being pulled in two different directions. On one side, it's to have enough of American culture, but on the other, it's to also have enough of the culture our parents raised us in. In some families there is the need to assimilate to American culture as much as possible, but for others it is more important to keep the parents' native culture as apart of one's identity and not fall into American culture.
"I feel like my parents have more concern about me kind of becoming 'too American' or leaving my culture than if I had American parents. Because American parents having American children, that's their shared culture. That's what everyone grew up in, and what they know and understand," Elbadri said.
A common thing that is often related to immigrants is their native languages. The United States does not have an official language and according to the U.S. Census Bureau, as of 2015, there are 350 languages spoken in the States. Being bilingual is also a big part of the first-generation American identity.
"I think the most prominent thing [being first generation] is the language barrier," Escorcia said. "Whenever we went to the grocery store I had to be there to interpret for my mom, or when we went to conferences and my dad was at work, I would have to come along so I could interpret for her."
Elbadri thought similarly.
"Usually when I think about my parents' first language not being English, it usually has to do with what I help them with- things that have to do with English. It can be a nuisance sometimes, but it kind of forces me to grow up, because then I have to take care of some things on behalf of them and my family, so I think it gives me more opportunities than my peers that are not first-generation have. I guess I'm exposed to more adult responsibilities before they [non first-generation American students] are."
First-generation Americans juggle many responsibilities our non-first-generation American peers may not worry about. From interpreting at school conferences, to fitting into both cultures that you were raised in, it feels like a world of effort compared to having American born parents. Our parents have an expectation that we have to do well in school and get into a good college and to have a good career. Anyone can relate to that, of course, but for me and other people with similar backgrounds, I'm not only doing this for me, I'm doing this for my parents as well. I see it as a way to repay them for everything they have done for me. My parents risked everything to come to the U.S. and start a life where their children would have a better future with opportunities they didn't have.
"I always felt pressure of not wanting to disappoint my parents so I would [have] always had a mindset of going beyond expectations at school. If I didn't meet these expectations, I would feel disappointed in myself because they [my parents] sacrificed so much to come to the United States to have my life be better than theirs was," Escorcia said.
It comes at a cost to do everything at once, not only for our parents, but for ourselves too.
"It is a lot of pressure being this perfect individual who gets good grades, and keeps up with everything in the house, and has this amazing life out of thin air. It's a lot of work trying to be what your parents want you to be, their version of success, but also juggling what you want to do and how you feel about your life, and what it's going to turn out to be," Elbadri said.
Even with all of this pressure, I wouldn't change being a part of the first generation for the world. I grew up fast, and have learned so much about how to be hardworking and strive for higher goals. We strive for success- and know that it comes with hard work and sacrifice.

In My Words:
"Adventure is out there" is a popular film quote that perfectly sums up my approach to exploring the world around me and the many languages spoken by its inhabitants. From a young age, traveling and experiencing rich and varied cultures has been an integral part of my life. Whether traversing Las Ramblas in Barcelona, sampling limoncello in Sorrento or exploring the markets of Nice, I have been fortunate to experience a number of countries across the world.
As I travel, I am often a language learner myself, and I have always appreciated the graciousness of native speakers who are patient and encouraging as I try my hand at communicating. The acquisition of language skill enriches the journey by affording a profound cultural understanding, and that is where the true adventure begins.

Established in 1911, Central Bank of India was the first Indian commercial bank which was wholly owned and managed by Indians. The establishment of the Bank was the ultimate realisation of the dream of Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala, founder of the Bank. Sir Pherozesha Mehta was the first Chairman of a truly Swadeshi Bank. In fact, such was the extent of pride felt by Sir Sorabji Pochkhanawala that he proclaimed Central Bank of India as the property of the nation and the countrys asset. He also added that Central Bank of India lives on peoples faith and regards itself as the peoples own bank.
During the past 104 years of history the Bank has weathered many storms and faced many challenges. The Bank could successfully transform every threat into business opportunity and excelled over its peers in the Banking industry.

Some places never really leave you. Iceland is one of them. Once you've traced the jagged ice of its glaciers, or watched the midnight sun graze the horizon, you're a goner. Even after you've touched down on familiar soil, gotten that weird camped-for-too-long stench out of your sleeping bag, and slept in your own bed, Iceland lingers with you. I've spent two summers there now, and have travelled the Ring Road twice,… Read More
A midnight sunset caught from the edge of my tent at our campsite in Höfn, Iceland. Read about all the glacier-exploring and rockhounding here. "I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored." — David Attenborough
Apparently I didn't get the memo about kicking off my 2014 resolutions back in January, because here we are in not-so-early March and I am just getting around to making all those goals I'll be ignoring for the next year. But in the spirit of better late than never, I've been tackling projects like working on my photo-editing skills in Lightroom, dreaming up some adventures for the summer, and picking up the… Read More
Arriving at Höfn marked the third week into our trip, which was surreal. Without the sun going down the trip had almost felt like one long day up to that point. We were in the Southeast and headed in the direction of Reykjavik once again. We stopped to see Petra's Mineral Collection on the way, which cheered me up pretty fast. Petra was an Icelandic woman who spent her entire life collecting rocks…. Read More

Mangaluru, June 21, 2016: There has been a new twist to the case of alleged kidnap and assault of a tailor from Mudipu Junction. The victim named Dharanappa Poojary (42) in his complaint with the police has named his wife Jayalakshmi, her paramour Hafiz and dreaded criminal Rafique as the persons behind his kidnap.
As per the complainant, Hafiz who stayed abroad had an affair with his wife and had hired Rafique to kill him so that he does not come in the way of their affair as Dharanappa used to frequently quarrel with his wife over the issue.
Dharanappa had also alleged that the kidnappers had robbed him of his gold chain and Rs 10,000 cash. Sources said the accused have fled to Bengaluru. Investigations are underway.

The Freedom Coin (TFC) – The Cryptocurrency You Can Bank On Launches 8 May 2018
TFC is a lightning-fast cryptocurrency that encourages users to hold the currency or to use it for actual transactions. Unlike Bitcoin, the most prominent cryptocurrency, which has become more of a digital asset, TFC is meant to be spent.
** This is a paid press release. Coinist does not endorse and is not responsible for or liable for any content, accuracy, quality, advertising, products or other materials on this page.
Today marks the launch of a new cryptocurrency called The Freedom Coin (TFC). TFC is a lightning-fast cryptocurrency that encourages users to hold the currency or to use it for actual transactions. Unlike Bitcoin, the most prominent cryptocurrency, which has become more of a digital asset, TFC is meant to be spent. When coins are not spent, they earn interest in wallets. This encourages users to keep coins and not sell them on exchanges which often decreases the value. The supply of TFC is limited to 25 million so the value will increase over time as the supply decreases.
TFC is fastest altcoin on the market and can handle an impressive 256 transactions per second. It can hold its own against PayPal which clocks in at 193 transactions per second. This is far superior to first- and second generation cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin that can only manage 4 – 5 transactions per second. It has a very big block size of 3MB, which is 3 times the size of Bitcoin. This means that lots of transactions can be processed each minute. The transaction fees are exceptionally low at around 0.0001 TFC ($0.000185). This makes TFC a coin that can be used and spent as digital money.
The TFC blockchain is maintained by masternodes. Masternodes are dedicated servers which store a fully copy of the TFC blockchain and have a wallet attached. Mastenode holders have a say in the direction of TFC through a unique voting mechanism. In order to have a masternode, users have to put up 5000 TFC coins in a wallet. This is called collateral. Masternodes act in the best interest of the network because they have a financial investment to keep the network functioning properly. They receive rewards automatically when a new block is verified on the TFC blockchain. Unlike other cryptocurrencies that rely on masternodes, TFC masternodes also receive additional monthly incentives called Network Support fees, paid to owners in Bitcoin for looking after the blockchain.
No mining, only holding
Instead of mining for coins like Bitcoin, coid holders earn dividends or rewards on the coins they hold. This motivates users to hold coins and not sell them. It also levels the playing field and barrier to entry. Anyone can buy and stake TFC coins instead of cryptocurrencies where expensive mining equipment is required. Staking means locking the coins in so that they cannot be spent for a period of time. It is also more energy efficient than coins that are mined. Coins can be staked in any wallet. The coins first have to mature for about 24 hours. Thereafter, users can stake these in any wallet and receive rewards.
Masternode presale
The TFC blockchain officially launches on 8 May 2018. During the Masternode presale, each Masternode costs 5000 TFC or 1 BTC . There will only be 1000 Masternodes available from the premined coins in total. We recommend purchasing a Masternode early as the price will increase after the first phase of the launch. On 1 June 2018 the price will increase to 1.5 BTC per Masternode and the 15th of June will see prices at 2 BTC per Masternode. Users can also purchase shared masternode units instead of a full node. There are 20 units per masternode so users can invest in 5% shares. This makes it affordable and accessible to anyone.
Other Benefits
TFC Masternode holders also have access to Value Added Product Services (VAPS) through a diversified portfolio that creates additional streams of income.
About The Freedom Coin (TFC) Team
The TFC team comprises Founder and CEO, Douglas Bothma as well as CTO Liaan Roodt. Together they have launched TFC, as a cryptocurrency solution. They also play an active role in the communities of a number of other altcoins. They are supported by Esté Rothmann as Advisor and have a design and an admin team consisting of Ashton Dookhilal, Jessi Fann and Louis Nel.

Big Sky, Old Bones, and Murderous Obsession. Blue Deer, Montana Has it All... A Cleveland hunter has just shot off his best friend's hand and the first blizzard fo the season was blowing into Blue Deer, Montana, when a camper found an old skeleton on Magpie Island. Sheriff Jules Clement, one-time archeologist, now his hometown's cop, relishes the chance to identify the remains. In a small-town job riddled with gas station robberies and domestic abuse, the bones offer a chance to use his skills..a diversion from a dying love affair..and a break from hunting a rapist who continues to strike. But old bones bring new troubles--the kind that have Jules questioning his own friends and family, stripping away his last illusions about justice...and the kind that can get a lawman killed in a Montana minute.

As far as I am concerned, you could not get much better than Ellie. Besides being the sweetest person you could talk to, her readings are amazingly accurate. I speak from experience. Ellie has read for me for at least two years now and there has never, ever been anything that has not been correct and this is in any subject that life throws at us. She's just lovely and I always look forward to speaking to her, knowing that what she tells me is correct as I trust her implicitly. Ellie is a true credit to her profession. Many, many thanks Ellie xx

There are a lot of stereotypes about which cars are most likely to speed, but these are the models that actually have the highest rate of speeding tickets.
Picture the following scenario: You're cruising down the highway during a nice summer day, admiring the scenery in front of you. All of a sudden, another car whips by in the next lane over, going at a speed well over the legal limit. Ask someone who didn't witness the event what kind of car was speeding and they would probably lean into the well-worn stereotype: some type of sports car, perhaps a BMW or Mercedes. There might be some truth to that stereotype. After all, those types of cars have the capability for higher speeds. The question is, does the data actually back up that stereotype? To find out, the research team at Insurify decided to look at the numbers to discover which car models are most guilty of speeding.
To determine which car models are cited for speeding most often, the research team at Insurify, a website to compare car insurance quotes, took a look at their database of over 1.6 million car insurance applications. To apply for quotes, drivers input personal and vehicle information, including the model of car they drive and whether or not they have been convicted of speeding in the past. The research team analyzed the number of cars for each model with a prior speeding violation against the total number of each model to determine the proportion with a speeding violation. They then selected the models with the 10 highest shares of ticketed drivers. Data on the cars' MSRP and horsepower was compiled by USNews and Autoblog.
The Veloster is certainly cheap, boasting the second-lowest MSRP of any vehicle on the list. Hyundai describes the Veloster as "a unique expression of Hyundai's bold side," and as having "a sportier, more aggressive design." Perhaps drivers of the vehicle are taking that advertising to heart.They're certainly aggressive on the roads, as nearly 15 percent of the drivers in Insurify's database who own a Veloster have a prior speeding citation.
The Impreza is a classic midsize vehicle with remarkable durability. According to Automotive Lease Group, Inc. (ALG), it retains more residual value than any other car in its class. It's also affordable, with the third-lowest base MSRP of any vehicle in the top 10, though it won't provide you with much power. The base model has the second-worst horsepower of any car on the list.
The Infiniti G37 was discontinued after production of the 2013 model, and rebranded as the G40, but it still ranks in the top 10. Nevertheless, it's one of the more versatile cars on the list, with convertible, sedan, and coupe models. It's also one of the most powerful cars on the list. The G37's reported horsepower range is the third-highest of any vehicle in the top 10.
Much like the G37, the Dodge Dart is no longer made. Production stopped in 2016 in the United States due to poor sales, despite the Dart being Dodge's only compact sedan. Evidently, despite its low price—the Dart is as the cheapest model on this list—and excellent safety ratings, it didn't perform well with consumers. Sales maxed out at 87,908 units in 2015. For comparison, the Toyota Camry—which was the highest-selling midsize sedan of 2015—sold over 400,000 units that year.
Pickup trucks are more often associated with long cruises in rural areas than aggressive speeding, thanks in part to a multitude of country song lyrics, but the RAM 2500 appears to be the exception. It is the only pick-up truck in the top 10, and over 15 percent of drivers of the RAM 2500 have at least one prior speeding violation. The car is also one of the pricier and most powerful cars on the list, with the third-highest base MSRP and highest horsepower of any vehicle on the countdown.
Much like the RAM 2500, the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited doesn't come to mind when you think of a vehicle flying down the highway at high speed. Nevertheless, Wrangler Unlimited owners have an issue with driving too quickly. The car isn't cheap, either. The Wrangler Unlimited, which is the slightly larger and pricier version of Jeep's highly popular Wrangler, is the second-most expensive car on the list.
The Genesis Coupe is the second Hyundai model to crack the top 10, though it is no longer produced. Like the Dodge Dart, the last Genesis Coupe model was the 2016 version. Alongside the Veloster, the Genesis Coupe is also one of just two Korean vehicles on the list. Drivers seem to be keen to enjoy its horsepower—which is higher than all but one other car in the top 10—as motorists in a Genesis Coupe speed at a rate more than 25 percent greater than the national average.
Just one model in Volkswagen's popular Golf series of vehicles, the GTI is designed to be more of a high-performance car than the traditional Golf, with a high-powered engine that exceeds the capacities of the standard model. It's also affordable, as one of the five cheapest vehicles on this countdown.
Scion, a former offshoot of Toyota, was a brand designed to appeal to younger drivers that went defunct in February 2016. The FR-S was designed with a sports-car feel in mind, with Car and Driver magazine saying that the car offers "sports-car agility on a budget." That aforementioned appeal to younger drivers may have something to do with the car ranking so highly on this list. Research from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) has shown that young motorists, especially teens, are more likely to speed.
No car model boasts a higher percentage of speeding drivers than the Subaru WRX. Over one-fifth of drivers that own a WRX have been ticketed for driving too quickly in the past, a rate that's 60 percent greater than the national average. On the bright side, the WRX is also one of the safest cars on the market. It earned the highest possible safety rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), thanks in part to newly developed driver assist technology that Subaru claims can reduce the rate of rear-end collisions by up to 85 percent.
