Raving Winds Around Her Blowing Song
Tune— M'Grigor of Roro's Lament.
I composed these verses on Miss Isabella M'Leod of Raza, alluding to her
feelings on the death of her sister, and the still more melancholy death
of her sister's husband, the late Earl of Loudoun, who shot himself out
of sheer heart-break at some mortifications he suffered, owing to the
deranged state of his finances.—R.B., 1971.
Raving winds around her blowing,
Yellow leaves the woodlands strowing,
By a river hoarsely roaring,
Isabella stray'd deploring—
Farewell, hours that late did measure
Sunshine days of joy and pleasure;
Hail, thou gloomy night of sorrow,
Cheerless night that knows no morrow!
O'er the past too fondly wandering,
On the hopeless future pondering;
Chilly grief my life-blood freezes,
Fell despair my fancy seizes.
Life, thou soul of every blessing,
Load to misery most distressing,
Gladly how would I resign thee,
And to dark oblivion join thee!

Every year since our family has been in existence, we have taken a "family vacation". It has become a tradition of ours that we all look forward to each year. This year is no different, except for the fact that we are now having to become more flexible and creative, due to the fact that LOTS is going on in the ever expanding group of people we call our FAMILY.
Robby and I have traveled to almost every state with our children. We believe that traveling is an opportunity to learn about not only other areas of our world, but the people that live there and their traditions. As our family has grown, with two now married and one with a child, we STILL intend to continue this tradition with EVERYBODY involved.
The way this thing works is that we usually spend some time looking for a great destination. Most are just happy with whatever we decided on and are not really involved in the "process" of picking a place. However, Ryan really enjoys helping us decide where we should go each year. Last year, was very odd because neither Justin and Sarah nor David and Codi could come on the "family vacation". Sarah was pregnant and David and Codi were getting married. So, although we took a wonderful vacation to San Francisco, Napa Valley and Yosemite National Park, only Ryan, Caitlin, Robby and I, along with my in-laws were able to enjoy exploring California. This year EVERYONE would be able to enjoy a "family" trip...even if it did have to be done in shifts!
With Ryan and David both in professional schools, we had to get a little creative here. There would be trip one, which Ryan would be able to go on, but David would not. And trip two, that David would be able to go on, but Ryan would not. Well, shucks! Two summer vacations?! I guess I will just have to somehow suffer through that! So, as the "planning phase" began, Ryan started the search. He sent me a list of the top 10 places to visit and upon receiving that list, we had already done several of them. The calls were already coming in from the others wanting to know, "Where are we going? Where are we going?" I told them we weren't sure yet. There had gotten to be so many of us a condo or hotel just wasnt' going to do any more; we had to try to find a house...and a 12 person van!
In the end, we found a WONDERFUL destination...a GREAT house...and LOTS of things to do in an area where the temperatures are FANTASTIC for this big, fat, southern family's vacation! OH...you want to know WHERE we are going??? I'll tell you in my next post, complete with pictures!
Our BIG, FAT Family Vacation!!!Saturday, June 4, 2011

for 5 ice creams:
– 200 g blueberries
– 3 tbsp maple syrup
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 500 ml Greek yoghurt
You will also need:
– 5 plastic cups
– 5 ice lolly sticks
In the summer months, the children just love ice creams. And, on a hot day, I often fancy something tasty from the freezer too. It's not that hard to make your own healthy ice cream, thanks to the delicious flavour of blueberries and Greek yoghurt. So refreshing!
Wash the blueberries and add them to a pan. Pour in the maple syrup and vanilla extract. Then you can squash the blueberries with the spoon and bring everything to the boil. Keep stirring, of course. Then allow the berry mixture to cool before mixing it through the Greek yoghurt.
Once you've divided the berry and yoghurt mixture between the plastic cups, it's ready for the freezer. Leave it there for half an hour. Then stir them a little bit with a spoon and return them to the freezer for another 30 minutes. Now you can push the sticks into the ice creams. Leave them in the freezer for at least another two hours. And next: Eat them up. Yum yum!

I'm in London getting a little inspiration for my next project and i've just discovered how amazing Charlotte Street News is! Just an ordinary little newsagents who also happen to sell every beautiful publication you can imagine. I bought a copy of Current Obsession, which is all about contemporary art jewellery. I just wish I had more money to spend in there!

Royal Exchange Competition
Fashion Film
So finally, here is the short fashion film I made to compliment and show my jewellery for the miniature collections brief. You can watch "Nothing Lasts Forever" on YouTube here; Nothing Lasts Forever: http://youtu.be/eLgAvbPGsyQ
I organised a photo shoot with a great professional photographer called Chris Tyler. He gave me the raw files of the photographs so I could have a go at editing them. I wanted to keep them pretty natural, as the models Hayley and Dan are pretty gorgeous as it is. They certainly aren't perfect but I really enjoyed working on them and I am happy for a first attempt!
Padlock Stories
One of the best things about the doing my project looking at Lovers Padlocks has been reading the responses from the visitors on the flat pack padlocks at the exhibition. At the very beginning of the project I strung up signs along Pier Head in Liverpool where there are hundreds of padlocks, asking people to tell me why they were attaching their own. I have had no response up until now as I have just read this lovely email from a lady who has put up her own. It's great to have a glimpse into back story of this tradition;
"I met my Partner Steve via the internet last October and on our first day out we went to Liverpool. We both originate from there but I lived in Wigan and he has moved between Skelmersdale and Liverpool at various times. We walked to the dock and wondered what the locks were all about! We read a lot of them and had a good laugh about some of them that had put combination locks on etc. There are also some sad ones too.
When we got home I googled it and then we said as some point we would put one on. In April this year I moved in with Steve and we put our own lock on and as we are frequent visitors to Liverpool, we often go to 'OUR LOCK', even though its rusted to hell but the sentiment is there. I have enclosed the before and after pictures! He took the padlock into work to engrave and tried to hide it from 'The Lads', who kept on asking 'what are you doing?!"

The invention of flexible e-paper has opened up a world of possibilities for fashion designers, such as the team behind the Volvorii Timeless peep-toe heels, the brainchild of new Lithuania-based startup iShüu Technologies. The project is currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, writes Michelle Starr for CNET.
E-ink moves into fashion
A flexible e-ink display built into the shoe's upper means that the basic color choice of black and white and can customized to fit with outfits of different patterns. A Bluetooth receiver is contained in a hollow carved out of the shoe's sole, allowing the wearer to choose whether the e-ink display will be block black, block white, or a pattern of their choosing which matches their outfit.
"The Volvorii's clean, elegant, sturdy design brings gravitas, respect and formality in an unmistakable way," the company page reads. "Whether you are a CEO at the apex of your industry or a prospective intern who got it as a graduation present going for your first interview in the corporate world, the Volvorii will carry you with grace."
Not only can wearers customers their shoes digitally, but physically too. The toe and the back of the hell feature anchors, to which accessories, from flowers to bows, can be attached.
From prototype to production
The shoe's display can be charged without wires via a module in the sole, but the low-power consumption of e-ink means that it will only need charging every few weeks.
iShüu designers have already got a working prototype which they submitted to compete in the Louis Vuitton Prize, but their next goal is to move from a prototype to a final product using funding raised from Indiegogo.
Those who make an early bird pledge of $149 on the site will receive a pair of the e-ink enabled Volvorii Timeless shoes as a reward, limited to ten pairs. The regular price of the shoes rises to $249 after the first ten pledges are made, with details of the RRP still not released.
The team plans to deliver the shoes by December of this year, and interested parties should check out the Volvorii Indiegogo page.

Healthcare and the general wellness of the American population has been one of the biggest topics of discussion for the past decade, but the students who walk the grounds of Weber State have attentive and affordable resources readily available and nearby.
Some of the services provided include Weber State University's own health clinic, dental hygiene clinic, and psychological/counseling services, to name a few. With the help of student fees, these benefits are available at heavily reduced costs, and are at times, free to the student body.
One example of free services available, although limited, are flu shots that are accessible for students once the fall season starts. Even if students miss their opportunity to get a free shot, they are still able to head to the clinic and receive one at a low cost.
Rochelle Creager, student wellness coordinator, helps provide a more comprehensive wellness service and abides by the student wellness program's mission of providing "evidence-based Health Education programming, services and resources to meet the health and wellness needs of our unique student population." Helping students develop healthy lifestyles involving their eight dimensions of wellness are essential for students to lead engaged lives in and outside of the classroom, as stated on their website.
"The student health center, the counseling center and the student wellness program all exist because physical and mental health concerns have a real impact on a student's academics," Creager said. "It actually makes a lot of sense to the university to provide services to students to take care of them outside of the classroom, to ensure that they're able to be present and ready to learn when they are in class."
With students' fees helping lower the cost of these services, enrolled students are able to divulge in these services with reduced costs and no co-pay charges, regardless of if they are insured or not.
According to the 2016 U.S. Census Bureau, young adults between the ages of 19 and 25 had an uninsured rate of 12.5 percent to 14.7 percent. To put that into perspective, with Weber's 26,000 student population with approximately 44% falling under the age of 25, roughly 1,372 to 3,640 students could have the possibility of being uninsured while attending school.
Approximately 18 percent of adults have a mental health condition, as stated by Mental Health America in their 2017 review. Around 56 percent do not receive treatment due to lack of access to care. Suzy Heugly FNP, an instructor with the school of nursing and assistant at the Davis campus health clinic, recommends students go to services such as the counseling and psychological center to help take care of themselves in a healthy way.
"Sometimes trying to develop our education with our mind, sometimes we neglect taking care of our bodies," Heugly said. She also pointed out students often neglect health preventative measures as they attend school, and encourages students to take advantage of the resources readily available to them.
"We are big on being advocates for health in our community," Heugly said. "I would love for [the students] to know that we are here to support them, we're here to make sure that they're not only happy and progressing with their education, but healthy along the way."
For a full list of resources available for students and detailed information, visit the student wellness website at www.weber.edu/studentwellness/ or call 801-626-7524.

472 Punishment for Pagan Sympathizers
""... owners of property where [pagan] rites took place were held responsible. Upper-class owners could lose their rank and property, while the lower classes could be tortured and sentenced to hard labor in the mines. .... most of the violence perpetrated against non-Christians ... was not official persecution." Those who destroyed temples and murdered pagans were pious Christians who had been enflamed by their leaders.

Factors to Consider When Finding a Reliable Mechanic
Every vehicle is prone to getting mechanical aid after some time due to various reasons. While some just need to be offered maintenance services. Where one does not have the top skills in handling such services it is good always to seek help from a qualified mechanic. This will ensure you get the best services of quality value. Do not rush at the first mechanic to come your way but rather take time in the selecting process. The following are helpful guidelines to help you in the selection process.
One should make sure they have considered the costs involved. Make sure you set a reasonably affordable budget for yourself. Where one creates a budget that is flexible enough to accommodate every cost in question they will achieve proper services that are good for them. The budget constitutes the costs of labour, purchase of new fixtures for the vehicle and costs of any unexpected expenses. Price and charges should be negotiated before any paperwork is signed or any transportation begins for the problematic vehicle. The quality and price of a mechanic service should go hand in hand always. Some mechanics tend to overprice their services, yet they are relatively not deserving of these services, thus it will be a good move to move on to another more reasonable mechanic.
Secondly, it is important to ensure the mechanic has a relevant level of experience and expertise. The experience could be as a result of operating over a long period handling many different clients with different issues on their vehicles. A good mechanic will have special skills distinguishing them from other mechanics which enable them to work on vehicles more efficiently. Licenses and certificates of operation could be an added advantage for the mechanic. The benefit of hiring an experienced and expert mechanic is they can be relied on to give good services. It is therefore advisable to figure out how well a mechanic knows their job and executing it in the right way.
One should consider getting recommended to any good mechanic in their reach. Most of the recommendations could come from family and friends who have already used mechanical services from their mechanics. One can opt to surf the internet for websites with good customer reviews on their services. These are some of the views clients share on a service providers website and rate or talk about the level of services given by the service provider. You could also get referrals from mechanics from which you will get more information from.
Lastly, one should ensure they ask questions to the mechanic. The questions equip you with knowledge on your vehicle's functionality and how to take care of it. This way one can gain control over their vehicles next time they experience the same problem.

Set in the period of 1790 to 1805, the plot is derived from the Philip Meadows Taylor's 1839 novel Confessions of Thugs, which deals with the thug name Ameer Ali. Ameer Ali's gang of thugs challenges the British Empire In India and this is how Aamir Khan's Thugs Of Hindostan began.
Khan had earlier spoken briefly about the film and his character with South China Morning Post: Thugs of Hindostan is a big action-adventure film. There's no message in that. I'm playing a character who cannot be trusted at all – [so it's the] very opposite of Dangal … He's a very slippery character. He has no scruples at all – for money he can sell his mother out. He's like that. But [the character] is a very entertaining guy. So it's a very entertaining kind of a film. No message this time. Just have a good time."
After seeing the looks of Aamir Khan and Amitabh Bachchan from the Thugs Of Hindostan, we can believe that the film promises you the Entertainment, Entertainment, and Entertainment.

On Friday, Nov. 6, representatives from the Pine Island American Legion and the Pine island VFW arrived at Island Center to celebrate the raising of the flag.
"The flag has not been flying for several months," Lynda Newman said. "The halyard at the top of the pole was damaged months ago and we've been without a flag ever since. When I contacted Tom Lewis at the American Legion, he was more than willing to help us get the flag flying again."
Newman first became involved after Hurricane Charley. When the storm tore through Pine Island on Aug. 13, 2004, it left extensive damage in its wake - including the flag pole at the Island Center. At about the 3-foot mark, the flag pole was bent 30-35 degrees.

"For some, the bent pole at the center served as a reminder of what we all went through at the hand of Hurricane Charley," Newman said. "But after a few years, I felt we should put that experience behind us and look ahead. I always enjoyed seeing the flag flying there so I made it my mission to find a way to replace or straighten the pole.
"The original thought was to straighten it," Newman continued. "But after several discussions with structural engineers and a couple of welders, this couldn't be done. The solution was to simply cut the bent portion off and reinstall the pole."
Dominic Pipio Jr., owner of All Phase Electric, came to the rescue. After reading an article in the Eagle, he wanted to do something to restore the flag. The Jan. 19, 2011, issue of the Pine Island Eagle celebrated the raising of the flag under the headline, "Old Glory waves once again at island center."
In recent months, Newman noticed that the flag was once again missing and she contacted Lewis, adjutant at Pine Island American Legion Post 136. Lewis contacted Gerard's Tree Service and had the halyard repaired. Once the repairs were made, the flag raising was scheduled.
About 35 Pine Island Elementary students marched down Stringfellow Road, led by their principal Rob Mazzoli. The students presented a song to the crowd. Alongside the students stood the Color Guard.
"It is truly an honor for me to be the master of ceremonies at this very special event," Lewis said. "We gather here today for a patriotic and solemn purpose - to witness the presentation of the flag of our country to Pine Island by the American Legion and the VFW. I would like to recognize Lynda Newman for starting the process of restoring the flag after Hurricane Charley and being instrumental in this flag raising today."
Commander Larry Nixon from American Legion Post 136 presented the colors.
"Will the Color Guard display the colors please," Nixon said. "In the name of Pine Island American Legion Post 136, I dedicate these colors. May they fly truly as the emblem of our country."
During the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem, the flag was once again raised over Pine Island Center.

An international team of labor rights groups recently hired a Cambodian research firm to enlighten the government on how much the workers earning nominal wages are spending on living costs. The results, expected to be ready by early September, will give the government reliable data on living costs for the first time, and could trigger a nationwide reform on minimum wage.
The garment industry's minimum wage — the only sector in the country with a wage floor — is $128 per month, but the industry leaders and researchers are eyeing $177 as the proposed increase to be effective in 2016.
The factories, of course, are fighting the increase in wages, saying an increase in workers' wages would drive companies outsourcing in Cambodia away to neighboring countries with lower wages like Thailand and Myanmar.
In 2013, the Labor Ministry conducted an independent study on workers' expenses, but the report was never published. This go-around, the researchers will survey about 700 garment workers across the Southeast Asian country on their current living expenses, local paper Cambodia Daily reports.
The International Labor Organization published a statistics-heavy report that showed detailed numbers on investments, export earnings and wages surrounding the garment sector, but the study didn't include data on workers' expenses. Instead, the stats showed the power of inflation and how the hiking costs of living is affecting Cambodia's 15 million residents.
Compared to the U.S., it's clear to see that average Cambodian workers aren't flourishing: Consumer prices in the United States are 45.73 percent higher than in Cambodia, yet the U.S. has 693 percent more purchasing power*. Rent prices in the United States are 170.23 percent higher than in Cambodia, but the monthly earnings show that Americans make 1,242 percent more money each month than Cambodians.
When we take a more refined search and delve into each country's capital cities — Washington, D.C. and Phnom Penh — it's easy to see the problem. Phnom Penn, where a heap of Cambodia's garment factories are located, has a relatively high cost of living when compared to the wages being dispensed. The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the center of the city costs around $494 while the average monthly salary stands at $307, leaving the average worker out nearly $200 simply for paying rent. In Washington, D.C., rent is $1,865 in a similar location while the monthly wages of $3,862 leaves the average city-goer plenty of spending power.
The cost of living in Phnom Penn is higher than that of Beijing, where every worker is guaranteed a minimum earning of 1,560 yuan, or around $251, a month. It's also more expensive to live in Cambodia's capital than Czech Republic's capital city, Prague, where the minimum wage is $361.
The results of the study for Cambodia are due to come in within the next few months, and the government will likely respond with a new wage once they see how tough it is to live off a measly $128 a month in a country that isn't particularly cheap.
*All of the statistical data comes from the website Numbeo.com, a website that compares cost of living in every country. The site aggregates user data and user input and claims to be "the biggest Internet database about cost of living." Since the data is based on user input, any information gained from the site could be partially skewed or illegitimate.

The process of undergoing an MRI can make patients anxious: many MRI scanners have an enclosed, claustrophobic tube and the exam requires you to lie still while the machine emits loud noises.
Due to the stress of the exam and the claustrophobic feelings it creates, many patients are unable to complete a scan.
37 per cent of patients feel moderate to high levels of anxiety leading up to an MRI scan, with one in seven cancelling their appointment due to fear of the scanner itself.
And 12 per cent of MRI scans cannot be finished because patients are unable to undergo the scan.
However, a recent study has found that patients are more likely to complete an MRI when they understand what to expect. The success rate increases when the procedure is described to patients prior to the exam and when they have a chance to ask questions and address concerns beforehand.
Researchers found that it was extremely helpful for patients to learn what the MRI scanner looks like, how it works, what it will sound like and what they will need to do to prepare for the exam.
This study highlights why the MRI experience at Newcastle Clinic is unrivalled. We take all possible measures to ensure that patients understand what their MRI exam will entail to ensure that you'll feel comfortable throughout your appointment.
Our qualified team of radiographers always provides a calming, supportive service to ensure that you are comfortable enough to complete your MRI scan. We also offer longer appointments than the NHS and we'll never rush you, making sure that you have plenty of time to become accustomed to the MRI scanner beforehand.
Patients who are referred to Newcastle Clinic are welcome to visit us before their appointment and have a look at the open MRI scanner in order to better anticipate what the experience will be like.
We'll also describe the procedure to you before and during your visit, making sure that you understand what will happen and what to expect in terms of timing and positioning.
The fact that we have an open MRI scanner also boosts patient confidence. There is no enclosed tube and it's more than double the size of a standard MRI and therefore much quieter. You can also have a family member or friend next to you throughout the scan to help comfort and distract you.
Get in touch to discuss getting a referral to our private clinic.

Jena Malone Has Red Hair (And Matching Ginger Eyebrows) and It Looks Ah-Mazing
Unlike some (incorrect) individuals who think gingers are lame, I am a huge fan of redheads. I mean, Benedict Cumberbatch is a natural redhead! Okay, more like strawberry blonde head, but bear with me. There are so many smokin' hot celebrities who go red or were born red. Emma Stone, Evan Rachel Wood, Amy Adams, Rupert Grint... I could go on. And I will, because indie queen Jena Malone has dyed her hair red and her eyebrows to match. Although I was a fan of her recent edgy blonde 'do, I think the change looks great on her.
Malone unveiled her new look on the red carpet for the New York Film Festival premiere of the new film St. Vincent. She paired the bright red locks with bold red brows that are so cool that even Cara Delevingne might be feeling a bit threatened right about now. Better yet, the actress matched her ginger head to her outfit — a white dress embroidered with blood red flowers, a little red clutch, and red patent leather booties. The shoes were kind of an odd choice, with an awkward cut that doesn't really suit a bare leg, but the rest of the ensemble was so cool that I'll give her a pass.
I have a special place in my heart for Jena Malone, who's roles in such films as Donnie Darko and Saved! introduced me to the concept of the edgy/weird/cool girl. Her best role, IMO, is the troubled Margie Flynn in The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys , which you should watch if just to peep an adorably baby-faced Emile Hirsch and startlingly precocious young Kieran Culkin. But I digress. Let's get back to the hair.

I am very grateful for books! As I pointed out in a recent post, I have always loved to read. Reading not only can educate you, but can transport you to another place and another time. Reading can reduce stress, provide tranquility and solace, increase your vocabulary and it keeps your brain active and improves your concentration, focus and memory. Reading can improve writing skills! There are many benefits to reading books. I love nothing more than being immersed in a really good book!

ATLANTA — Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal has issued an executive order extending the voter registration deadline in four southwest Georgia counties hit by Hurricane Michael.
Deal announced on Monday that the deadline for registering to participate in the Nov. 6 midterm election would be extended to Oct. 16 for residents of Clay, Grady, Randolph, and Turner counties.
His office said that election offices in those counties were forced to close early on the day of the original deadline, Oct. 9, due to the Category 4 hurricane approaching from the Gulf of Mexico.
Deal had declared a state of emergency at 8:45 a.m. on Oct. 9 for most of central and south Georgia ahead of the storm.
Secretary of State Brian Kemp, who is in charge of voter registration and elections in the state, applauded the decision by Deal.
"We have been working together to assess the potential impact of this devastating storm on southwest Georgia, and we decided that an extension of the deadline was the most appropriate course of action," Kemp said in a statement. "With this extension, we can ensure that citizens in these counties can register to vote or update their voter record in time for the November 6, 2018 election."
Michael, which was a Category 4 hurricane when it came ashore in Florida, entered Georgia as a Category 3 and later weakened to a tropical storm as it headed for the Carolinas.
But its high winds and pounding rains left downed trees and power outages behind.

There are no words to describe my excitement for this movie. Directed by the genius who bought us The Dark Knight and Insomnia; Christopher Nolan has yet to make a bad movie, heck he has yet to make a movie that is short of a masterpiece. Right now, hes the new Spielberg, and ever since Memento, his earliest movie, I knew this guy will come to do great things. He also changed the way superhero movies are told on film. So this movie is already a guaranteed game breaker. Now to sweeten the deal…Leo DiCaprio is the protagonist in this pseudo-heist film.
Actually I'm not gonna show you a trailer here or even explain the plot for you, theres no need – because I'm sure you will go running straight to the theaters this Friday anyway. The film got rave reviews, right now it got 9.6/10 on imdb and 88% on Rottentomatoes. Critics said that it is "one of those rare summer blockbuster movies that succeeds viscerally as well as intellectually. And has been described by critics as James Bond meets The Matrix. Again, I can't wait for this one.
There is a free comic book prequel of the movie on Yahoo, check it out: http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/inception-comic.html

I just finished my freshman year at The University of Michigan and am now back home in Sammamish for the summer. After one short, but eventful, year at Michigan, I am pleased to say that I am so proud to be a Wolverine! I am on a pre-med track, majoring in Neuroscience. I am actively involved in many organizations, including my sorority, Chi Omega, the American Medical Students Association (AMSA), K-Grams (pen pals with Detroit elementary schools), and other on-campus groups. I have been fortunate enough to make some of the best friends and relationships here that I know will continue with me for the rest of my life.
I was so honored to be selected by the University of Michigan Seattle Alumni Club to receive this scholarship. I know how many amazing students are from the area and it means so much to have this scholarship that will contribute to my success and goals in my remaining years at Michigan. Knowing I have strong support from back home means the world and will provide me with extra determination and motivation to accomplish greatness. I cannot wait to continue representing the great Pacific Northwest in Michigan, as well as spreading the pride of Michigan and being a Wolverine back home to Seattle and beyond.
Thank you – and Go Blue!

Having spent most of my life feeling vulnerable to being attacked by a man, I now feel a great sense of freedom. Being strong and knowing how to punch has brought me something I wish every woman could feel: for the first time in my life I feel like a full human being. I am not a victim. I am not afraid. I am not trying to take up as little space as possible. I am not trying to keep my head down. I'm not trying to stay out of the way. I have a strong voice, a confident gait and, frankly, very sexy, strong arms. I know I have an absolute right to be wherever I am without threat and I can defend that right physically if I need to.
All women should take some sort of self-defence training. Yes, of course, it would be nice to live in a world where women weren't assaulted and where there was no chance of waking at 5am to find a strange man in your house. But until that day, it makes sense to learn how to handle yourself in threatening situations. Self-defence training teaches not only practical skills on how to strike an attacker, but awareness, assertiveness and how to enforce your boundaries. Most importantly, it will teach you something far more valuable: it is possible to live without the fog of fear.

Gidwani hoping to be elected second time around
One candidate who is running for the Board of Aldermen is hoping that his second time around will bring him more luck than his previous experience did in 2015.
David Gidwani is running for 1st Ward alderman after losing a close race to the longtime lone Democrat on the board, Jack Finn, two years ago.
This time around, Gidwani said, he's keeping the same approach as he before, but he's more confident that the outcome will be in his favor.
"Campaigning has been going excellent," said Gidwani, who has lived in Shelton for 16 years. "Even though I lost my election in 2015, I have always gone out of my way to help people who come up to me in Shelton, answer questions. Whether I was or am elected or not, my whole goal is to serve the people. It's an honor to give back to the community, and that's why I'm running for alderman. Nothing has changed in that regard."
Gidwani said the possibility of Mark Lauretti not completing his 14th term as Shelton's mayor should he be elected governor in 2018 is all the more reason to strengthen the city's Board of Aldermen with "fresh, new blood" and ideas.
A minor hiccup
The only negative part of his experience running in 2017, according to Gidwani, has been that some of his campaign yard signs have gone missing.
"I cannot point the finger at any person or people," said Gidwani. "I know a sign or two could go missing if it's blown over by the wind or washed away by the rain, but eight to nine signs — that's kind of shady. I chose to take the higher road and just replace the signs."
With just under two weeks until the election, Gidwani explained that the missing signs were just a minor hiccup in carrying out the rest of his campaign.
"I'm a fighter. I will be in that ring until the bell sounds. I don't throw in the towel easily," said Gidwani. "Someone out there is worried about what I'm doing, but it doesn't bother me."
Battle of new faces
Gidwani is running alongside incumbent 1st Ward Alderman Anthony Simonetti and is opposed by Finn's replacement, Adam Heller.
"Heller is also relatively new, but you can't treat an election different just because someone is a newcomer. You won't win that way," said Gidwani.
As Heller has stated numerous times that he is grateful for the support he has been shown by Finn, Gidwani said he's thankful for such mentors as Simonetti. Despite having the endorsement from the city's Republican Town Committee and the support of Simonetti, Gidwani said, he knows that running a successful campaign comes from putting in work of your own.
"Jack Finn was very well-known and once again to Jack Finn for all of his years of service that he provided to the city of Shelton and to Ward 1, but you never take any election for granted. You have to knock on doors, get your word out there," said Gidwani. "People constantly say that I'm sick and tired of people doing this or not doing this. Well, this is your opportunity to come out vote and vote for someone who will fight for you. Instead of sitting at home and complaining, take advantage of the opportunity to select people who will fight for you. Let me fight for you. If you don't like how I do that, it's a two-year term. You won't have to re-elect me.
"It's an honor that the party trusts me and has that confidence in me after putting confidence in me before falling short in 2015. It's an honor that the Shelton Republican Town Committee has given me the opportunity to run and to prove that I will bring a new set of ideas to help everyone here in Shelton."
While he has gone door to door in the community, Gidwani said, residents have expressed their concerns for overdevelopment. Despite what some of his supporters believe on that topic, Gidwani said, he shared the sentiment expressed by those residents.
He also said he's noticed a trend of people doing more shopping online, and that is why he's opposed to the building of a shopping center that recently opened on Bridgeport Avenue, as well as creating more residential developments.
"We were promised high-end retailers and what did we get? We got a Goodwill, Urgent Care. Those aren't the businesses that we're looking to get into Shelton. We have to listen to the people more," said Gidwani. "People are shopping more online. Why don't we just hold off before five or 10 years down the road, we have these apartments with no tenants?"
Funding his own campaign
As some candidates are asking residents for their support in any way possible, including monetary donations, Gidwani said he has funded his own campaign for the second time in a row.
"I know $25 or $50 is not a lot of money, but if that money can stay in their pocket and I can pay for my campaign and advertising materials, then I'd rather do that than to have someone donate money to my campaign," said Gidwani. "I work hard to provide for my wife and kid. I feel that this is a community service and I feel better that I'm only going door to door asking for votes versus asking for money. That's how I did it last time and that's how I'm doing it this year."
HAN Network's live election night coverage returns this year, with live results, interviews and analysis on Nov. 7. HAN's Kate Czaplinski and John Kovach will host the live broadcast, available on HAN.Network and SheltonHerald.com.

The concept of food security has been used extensively at the household level as a measure of welfare of household needs (Pinstrup-Andersen, 2009; Production, 2011; UBOS-GoU-WFP, 2013). Several attempts have been made to conceptualize operational usefulness in the design, implementation, and evaluation of policies of the food system. At household level, food security is defined as the availability of food in one's home for which one has access to so that members of the family do not live in hunger or fear of starvation (Production, 2011). Hence, there is a distinction between transitory and permanent food insecurity. The former describes periodic food insecurity such as seasonal food insecurity, while the latter describes long term lack of access to sufficient food (UBOS-GoU-WFP, 2013; Pinstrup-Andersen, 2009).
In particular, in developing countries, food security is considered a critical national problem (Rosen et al., 2016). In this research, the specific case of Uganda country is studied. In the context of Uganda country, the smallholders' SD models are available for seed banking (Oyo, 2013) and farmers' livelihood (Guma et al., 2016). At the same time, food insecurity has been volatile in Uganda with percentages in the range of 35%-59% (UBOS-GoU-WFP, 2013). The largest food insecure area is northern Uganda with about 50% prevalence arising from two decades of armed conflict (1986-2006) that significantly affected food production (Tusiime et al., 2013). Therefore, it is considered necessary and worthy to investigate and model other strategies towards self-provisioning at subsistence farmers' level.
To this end, this paper develops a system dynamics model for exploring strategies and policies for household food security. System dynamics (SD) is a powerful methodology and computer simulation modeling technique for structuring, understanding and discussing complex issues and problems (Azar, 2012; Georgantzas & Katsamakas, 2008; Luna-Reyes & Andersen, 2003). It is extensively used to analyse a range of systems in business, ecology, medical and social systems as well as engineering. Dynamics refers to change over time. System dynamics is, therefore, a methodology used to understand how systems change over time. It presents a means to describe and simulate dynamically complex issues through the structural identification of feedback, and in many cases, delay processes that drive system behavior.
The importance of SD in studying food security is underscored by the fact that FS requirements are complex, the interactions in the food systems are dynamic and involve feedbacks and delays. Complexity arises from these interconnected and interdependent variables of the food system (Oyo & Kalema, 2016; Tsolakis et al., 2014; Tittonell, 2014; Steenwerth et al., 2014) and dynamic feedback processes (Ayenew, 2015; Oyo & Kalema, 2016; Georgantzas & Katsamakas, 2012); dynamic changes are reflected by change in food demand and supply (Guma et al., 2016; Oyo & Kalema, 2016; Oyo, 2013) and feedbacks arise because increasing agricultural (food) production increases food supplies, which does not necessarily translate into food security since those who need food may not have access to the food either on account of income or geographical location (Barrett; 2010; Carletto, Zezza & Barnejee, 2013).

Overcomers: Parenting a Child with Asperger's Syndrome
Amber had never heard of Asperger's when she realized something wasn't quite right with her then three-year-old son, Taye. Their pediatrician repeatedly told her not to worry; but as a mother, Amber knew better. She spent the next three years scanning the Internet, trying to figure out why her son was so different from other children. When she heard someone mention Asperger's on a TV show, she immediately went to the computer and searched for the symptoms. What she read made the pieces fit, and as she looked at the words on the screen, she said, "This is my son."
Amber tried to make an appointment with an Asperger's specialist. Taye's name went onto a waiting list—a long waiting list. Not willing to waste more precious time while they waited, Amber found a therapist who agreed to work with Taye without a diagnosis, based on the fact that his symptoms looked like Asperger's. Two full years passed before Taye got his turn to be evaluated by the specialist and receive a definitive diagnosis.
Today, Taye is 12. He is very bright, healthy and remarkably well adjusted for a boy who is the only student with Asperger's in his public middle school.
Amber shared three ways she helps her son thrive despite his disability.
First—by providing a place for her son to interact with, and develop relationships with, people who don't know that he has Asperger's.
Because Taye's behavior at school sometimes falls outside the norm, it was necessary for his classmates to be educated about his condition. But being, as Taye puts it, "that kid with Asperger's," makes him unhappy. Having a place to go where people don't know his diagnosis is vital; for Taye, that place is their church and he loves being there. Amber explains, "At church he gets to be around people who just accept him for who he is—a lot of people don't even know that he has Asperger's; he's Taye and he's a pretty cool kid."
Second—by giving her son a measure of control over his schedule.
For example: Amber insists that Taye be active during the summer, so she enrolls him in day camp, but he gets to choose which days he attends. One or two days a week he can relax at home, enjoying his hobbies of building with Legos and making short films with clay figures.
Third—by being sensitive to how Taye is handling challenges at school, and making wise choices about what he needs on any given day.
"My philosophy on parenting," Amber states, "is—of course I want my kids to go to school and learn things and be productive, but I also don't want to apply unnecessary pressure." Occasionally, Taye says, "Mom, I just can't do it today." If Amber senses that he needs a day away from the stresses of the classroom, she'll opt to make it a "school at work" day. On those days, Taye accompanies her to work, where he reads, does school assignments and helps her around the office.
Amber continues, "I don't make him avoid everything that's uncomfortable for him, but there are times when I can see he needs a break and I'm more than willing to grant that for him. As long as he's still doing well in school I think it's okay. I'm not the mom who's going to push for perfect attendance."
Amber is careful to reiterate that she doesn't allow her son to avoid every unpleasant interaction. She says she knows those are important too.
"There are times when he'll come to me and say, 'I really don't like what happened to me at school yesterday; someone made fun of me.' I'll [tell] him, 'this is just a challenge for you. I want you to go in tomorrow and deal with it. I want you to tell them [what they said about you] is not true and I want you to go on with your day.'"
Amber admits that parenting a child with Asperger's is extremely tough; she shared a bit of encouragement and advice for others walking the same path:
"Keep an open mind; keep an open heart; and be really flexible. Things change; [my son] can be really sad at one point, you know, going through a tough time, and then come to me ten minutes later wanting to tell me a hilarious joke.
"We're dealing with a lot because we're watching our kids suffer; it weighs on you. Sometimes you want to walk around and be sad about it, but they have to find strength somewhere, and they have to find it in us if they can.
"I made the decision a long time ago—probably even before [having] kids—that I was just going to be happy. I realized that we have a choice. Things are going to be what they're going to be. You can either wallow in [your problems] or you can enjoy your life and get through the best way you can. I just decided to enjoy my life and teach my kids how to enjoy theirs—and hope all goes well."

Over the centuries, the printed word has been the standard for authoritative legislative documents; however, in the digital age, the print publication process is often too slow for the pace of litigation. Legislatures, courts, and other government bodies have struggled to find authentication schemes for digital documents. Our own U.S. Government Printing Office has only been using digital authentication for the past 6 years.

Fragment? Frag…mint? Fragmentation Mint? Holy crap. Does that mean that all mints are explosive? The Doublemint gum twins must be assassins that work in pairs! And the Orbitz lady…!
Fragments of her memory spilled out onto the page as she fought back the waves of despair. In the background, tones from an old radio witnessed her struggle; they didn't care, nor did anyone else. But was there a light in this dark tunnel, somewhere to go or someone to stop her? Possibly. But she wasn't aware. Her pseudo-attackers weren't aware. The old radio wasn't aware.
Haha….this is very familiar. There have ___ I have so many fragments. I'm fragmenting at this very moment.
fragments of my heart i collect and join them again with the bond of love only to shatter. is it worth loving anyone. or one must love only oneself.
I don't know what to say about the word Fragment. It just means that something is small. A piece of something else. A tiny microscopic crumb. A fragment of information. A fragment of hope. A fragment on your computer.
the fragments of his fragile porcelain face lay on the ground. his emotions juxtaposed.. nothing happened as planned
I have to find a way to take pictures of the weekend, so I can document the wars. I may have to resort to using a collection of images provided by friends to prove my point. Our point.
the fragment of glass fell from the top of a sky scraper. Although starting without much momentum, by the time it reached the bottom, it became lethal enough
My heart is a fragment of what it used to be. Shattered and broken I'm dying to find the pieces that are missing. How can I consider you a friend when you have done this to me. How can I go on living when you don't even care.
Without end. Or beginning really. Hanging into space and thought. Between thoughts. The interjection.
Sometimes the little things in life are more important than life, itself. We spend so much time ogling at the big picture, we forget to look at each stroke of the brush. Each fragment in life is more important than the last, and each fragment in life is equally important as the next. That makes absolutely no sense, but, hey, neither does life sometimes.
There was a fragment of the glass laying on the ground. Jack picked it up and gazed at the blueishness as he held it up to the sun. He squeezed to hard and cut his finger leaving a fragment of glass in his hand.
the glass shattered into amillion shiny fragments, they rane skittering across the floor as the glittered in the soft light of a waning sun.

High School Expectations Vs. Reality for Freshman Year
September 28, 2018
As September of the 2018-19 school year wraps up, the new freshmen class has finally grown accustomed to the ins and outs of high school life. However, they're also now realizing it's not everything that media suggested it would be. Zac Efron lied. Class of 2022, we now speak directly to you.
- There is no bigger high school stereotype than cliques. Don't worry though, this is also the biggest misconception. While some clubs or sports can be rather self-contained, you'd be hard pressed to find a group of people actively excluding others (don't do it). The year is still young, and so are your high school careers. Get out there, join some activities (*cough*, Breezes), and meet some great new people.
- Popularity is also a myth. At a school the size of Minnetonka High School, you're lucky if you know the names of more than half your class (they're called classes now, not grades). Who's popular and who's not becomes a blur, and you'll realize that it really doesn't matter unless you decide to care.
- Rachel Thompson, 22', sums up many freshmen's fears, saying "I expected to get lost but didn't." Although this may have been a problem the first week or so, the layout of the school quickly becomes familiar. Remembering how to get from class to class is no sweat, and finding new routes can be exciting. However, that doesn't mean you'll know the whole school like the back of your hand; one day in junior year you'll find yourself by the back gym and wonder "how did I get here?"
- Lockers aren't a big deal. You won't gossip at your locker with your friend or peek out from behind the open door to check out that cute kid or slam the door shut dramatically. Odds are you won't use a locker much at. Quite a few people will never use one all four years, and the school has continuously removed lockers to make space for various upgrades.
- High school doesn't revolve around relationships. Sure, dating can be a lot of fun, but it's not the end of the world if you don't have a significant other. Don't get into a relationship because you feel like you need to be in one; instead, focus on staying ahead in your classes and enjoy spending time with your friends.
- Finally, what you wear and what you look like doesn't really matter. If you want to make an effort in the morning, do it if it makes you feel good about yourself. But if you want to wear the same sweatpants two days in a row, no one is going to take note.
Ava Ronningen, '19, said when it came to her expectations for high school, "[I thought it would be] like High School Musical. Legit thought it would be like that." High school may not be a heavenly place where everyone is constantly breaking into song, and may not even come close in comparison, but you can join the basketball team and be in the school musical at the same time if you so choose.

Activision Blizzard Inc (NASDAQ:ATVI) is set to start the morning's trade in positive territory following financial results, released after Thursday's close, showed a strong Christmas period.
The 'Call of Duty' video games studio generated adjusted quarterly revenue of US$2.65bn, with the first person shooter title bringing in more than US$1bn alone.
READ: Activision Blizzard confirms closure of US distribution hub
Wall Street analysts had anticipated fourth-quarter revenue of US$2.55bn.
Activision reported a net loss of US$584mln net loss or 77 US cents per share for the quarter, compared to a US$254mln profit in the same period of last year. The loss was largely due to the US$1.03 per share dent related to US tax changes.
"This was a record quarter to cap off a record year for Activision Blizzard," said Bobby Kotick, Activision chief executive.
"In 2017, our community reached new milestones for engagement, our business delivered record revenues and cash flows, and we made important progress in building future growth opportunities such as the Overwatch League.
"We couldn't be more excited for the opportunities ahead in 2018 to continue serving our players and fans."
On Wall Street, Activision stock was up 82 US cents or 1.25% changing hands at US$66.65 ahead of the opening bell.

14,000 GLAS Nutrient Management Plans still outstanding
There is a total of 14,000 Nutrient Management Plans (NMPs) outstanding from GLAS I and GLAS II participants, according to the latest figures from the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.
In order for GLAS participants to receive their balancing payments for 2016, they are required to submit their NMP to the department.
Farmers who do not have their NMPs submitted to the department – as part of their GLAS applications – are asked to do so as soon as possible.
The number of outstanding NMPs has approximately halved in the past two months. On June 13, AgriLand revealed that there was a total of 28,000 NMPs outstanding.
On August 1, the department revealed that further payments – equalling over €660,000 – were issued to farmers in the final week of July.
#GLAS Further payments of over €660K issued last week. Ensure your NMP is submitted to receive payment.
— Dept Agriculture IRL (@agriculture_ie) August 1, 2017
The department also asked farmers to ensure that their NMP is submitted in order to receive their balancing payment.
Over 11,000 Farm Improvement Plans submitted
Meanwhile, the department has also revealed that approximately 11,200 Farm Improvement Plans (FIPs) have been submitted and completed to date across all six sectors of the Knowledge Transfer (KT) Programme.
Close to 5,000 other FIPs are currently in the process of being completed by KT facilitators, the department added.
The original deadline for the submission and completion of the FIPs under the KT Programme was May 31. However, that deadline was extended by two months to July 31.
In late July, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Michael Creed, decided to give more time to KT participants to submit their FIPs – thus extending the deadline for a second time.
With the new deadline of August 21 fast approaching, there are still close to 45% of KT participants who have yet to submit and complete their FIPs to the department.
